Under the recommendation, a future report would outline feedback and present a final draft for adoption. The minutes record a unanimous committee vote, not final adoption of the strategy.

ANALYSIS OF THE RECORD - The record supports reporting the exhibition as a committee recommendation and does not establish that the full Council has endorsed the exhibition or adopted the strategy. - The minutes leave the exhibition start date, submission process and closing date unspecified. QUESTIONS FOR FOLLOW-UP REPORTING - When will the proposed 56-day exhibition begin and end? - How could residents and service users make submissions if the exhibition proceeds? - On what date would the report on exhibition feedback and the final draft strategy be presented?
