As detailed in the recommendation.

The Cabinet Member for Social Services provided background information on the Dublin Declaration on Age Friendly Cities and Communities in Europe 2013, and the invitation from the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) to every Council in Wales to sign the Declaration.

The Dublin Declaration reaffirmed commitment to adopt best practice, to collaborate with regional and international stakeholders, to communicate with regional and international stakeholders, and to communicate through local and regional channels to stimulate and promote equal rights and opportunities for older people living within communities.

The Dublin Declaration did not constitute a legally binding contract, however by becoming a signatory, the Council would be pledging a commitment to the aspirations and principles referred to in the Declaration.

RESOLVED:

That Flintshire County Council become a signatory to the Dublin Declaration.
