Recovery Strategy

Published: 14/10/2020

Flintshire County Council’s Cabinet will be asked to note a report on the Council’s recovery strategy when it meetings on Tuesday 20 October.

On 17 March 2020 Flintshire County Council issued its first public statement in response to the global coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic and the escalation of contingency planning by UK and Welsh Governments.

This marked the beginning of the Council's emergency response phase. To lead, support and protect the people it serves.  This continued until the end of July 2020.

Following an emergency situation there is a transition into recovery, to support and assist communities, businesses and individuals in planning for a return to normality.

The structure of the Council's COVID-19 Recovery Strategy is set out below:

  • The timeline of emergency response through to recovery.
  • The handover arrangements from response to recovery.
  • The recovery of the Council as an organisation.
  • The recovery of the communities we serve.
  • The Council's strategic priorities and performance for the remainder of 2020/21.
  • The roles of the Council in regional recovery.
  • The recovery of the Council's democratic governance.

There will be a detailed page on the Council’s website which sets out our response to COVID-19 and how we plan to move into A sustainable recovery.  This will be live after the meeting on 20 October.  A link to the page will be circulated at that time.

Flintshire County Council’s Chief Executive, Colin Everett, said:

“We are living in a fast moving environment. Over the coming months, until such time as the virus is brought under tighter control, it is inevitable that we will continue to move in and out of an emergency situation. By managing the emergency situation well we can continue to lay the foundations for recovery for the future.

“We all have a personal responsibility in this situation and we again appeal for everyone’s cooperation in following the distancing, socialisation and other restrictions that  are in place.

“All Council services continue to run, some with restrictions, to ensure that everyone can go about their daily lives.”
