The Board considered a report of the Assistant Chief Executive that provided an update on issues being addressed by the County Durham Partnership (CDP) including summaries from the Board, the five Thematic Partnerships and all Area Action Partnerships (AAPs). The report also includes updates on other key initiatives being carried out in partnership across the County (for copy see file of minutes).

The Principal Partnerships and Local Councils Officer reported that the Participatory Budgeting events attracted a wide range of people facilitated via the AAP autumn forums and saw support from partners and a range of services from within the council as well as AAP board members. 10,693 people cast their votes for local projects that will shape the work of the AAPs in 2014/15. Almost 1,300 people took part in one of the 270 budget consultation sessions that took place.
