That the Director for Operations and Place be authorised to enter into the Healthy Behaviours Grant Agreement with Suffolk County Council and the Suffolk District Councils as attached as Appendix 1 to the report.

Reason:  To enable the Council to receive a funding grant from Suffolk County Council and work in collaboration with Suffolk County Council and the Suffolk District Councils to deliver the Healthy Behaviours programme for Suffolk residents.
