Issue - meetings

Following consultations on the draft, to consider the Council’s Corporate Plan and to recommend it to the Council for adoption.

RECOMMENDED:

That the new Corporate Plan for 2016 -2020, “Our Corporate Plan”, and associated delivery plan, as attached as appendices to report item 4 considered by the Cabinet, be approved.

The Cabinet considered the Corporate Plan for the period 2016 -2020 and the changes that had been made in response to comments received in response to consultations on the draft.  The Cabinet was pleased to note the positive reaction to the draft Plan.

The Corporate Plan was now supported by a delivery plan, which set out detailed actions for 2016/17 and also made reference to the actions required in the longer term.  Delivery would be monitored through a simple and proportionate performance management framework.

As with the previous Corporate Plan, communication about the Plan would be primarily through electronic means to optimise expenditure in its production and in disseminating the key messages.

Members discussed the actions set out in the delivery plan and re-emphasised the need to ensure that proposed actions were affordable and deliverable.

RECOMMENDED:

That the new Corporate Plan for 2016 -2020, “Our Corporate Plan”, and associated delivery plan, as attached as appendices to report item 4 considered by the Cabinet, be approved.
