Report by the Director, Public Health and Well Being is circulated

The Leader presented a report which updated Cabinet on the progress being made in Wiltshire to prepare for the 2011 Census which would be taking place on Sunday 27 March.

The Leader stressed the importance of people completing the Census given that the main grant funding mechanism was heavily dependent on population figures which would have a direct bearing on the Council’s funding in the future. Efforts being made to maximise participation in the Census were outlined in the report.

Resolved:

That the report be noted.

Reason for Decision

To keep Cabinet informed of arrangements and to ensure that Wiltshire gets a good count in March 2011.
