Strategy/Programme Sponsorship

The Council’s key strategies and programmes are each led by a Lead Councillor who takes overall leadership and responsibility for an area of work. These can be activity specific such as the Homelessness Strategy or cross-cutting, for example the Climate Change strategy. The Climate Change strategy is a key strategic ambition owned by the whole council. Responsibility for delivery is owned by the whole Cabinet Team. The Leader will chair the Climate Change Programme Board which will ensure the strategy informs our thinking, planning and delivery across all areas. Other Lead Councillors may from time to time be asked to lead implementation or monitoring of specific parts of this strategy.
