Minutes:

Cabinet was requested to consider and approve the proposed new Corporate Plan for 2023-2027 and recommend to Council for formal ratification.

 

Members considered the alternative option of extending and refreshing the current Corporate Plan, but this was declined as the robust review of the Council’s future priorities ensured that the new Corporate Plan best captured and reflected the strategic direction of the Council over the next four years.

 

RESOLVED that

a)    the new Corporate Plan be agreed and recommended to Council for approval;

 

b)    the Chief Executive be authorised, in consultation with the Leader, to review and revise the Corporate Scorecard, aligned to the Corporate Plan;

 

c)    the Chief Executive be also authorised, in consultation with the Leader, to make minor amendments to the document and finalise design work prior to publication, if required.

 

Reasons:

1.    The Council’s ambitions for the next four years are clearly identified in a set of revised and updated Corporate Priorities which are presented in the new Corporate Plan. These have been developed by Cabinet.

 

2.    The Corporate Plan sits above a wider strategic context which includes the Corporate Project Management Framework, Corporate Performance Indicators and a range of strategic documents relating to the Council and its services. The Corporate Plan aligns to the Council’s overarching Strategic Direction.???

??

3.    The Council’s priorities for the future, as identified in the new Corporate Plan, have been translated and cascaded into specific projects and initiatives, the successful delivery of which will be monitored through the Performance and Strategic Planning Framework and into Service Plans to facilitate focussed delivery.??

 

4.    The Council remains ambitious, and as such, the new Corporate Plan captures and reflects its ongoing ambitions for the next four years.
