Following the Environment & Place Overview & Scrutiny Committee meeting on 29 October 2025, an agreement was reached to implement the Council position to ‘encourage and promote plant-based diets’. A plant-based diet position statement and associated set of Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-bound (SMART) actions were drafted and agreed by Cabinet, and subsequently implemented.

Action 11 of the action plan was an annual review and adjustment of the plan.

This report seeks to update the Environment and Plan O&S committee regarding the progress of the plant-based diets action plan. Specifically, it presents a review of the effectiveness, appropriateness and feasibility of each action.
