Purpose

The report proposes changes to the current
Building a Fairer Newham Delivery Plan and Performance framework
for 25/26. Cabinet is being asked to agree the proposals

Decision

Decision
 
For the reasons set out in the report and its
appendices Cabinet RESOLVED to Agree:
 

i) 
The revisions to the Corporate Delivery Plan, as detailed in
Appendix 1, which ensures alignment with funding availability,
feasibility, and a focus on delivering priority actions.

ii) 
The revised Performance Framework, as outlined in Appendix 2,
including updates to the BaFN Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs), to better support monitoring and
achievement of the Council’s strategic priorities.
 
Alternatives
Considered
 

a) 
An alternative would be to retain the Corporate Delivery Plan as
originally adopted in September 2022. However, this is not
recommended due to significant changes in the external and internal
context, including increased financial pressures, rising demand for
services such as Temporary Accommodation, and stretched
organisational capacity.

b) 
The LGA Corporate Peer Review highlighted the need to prioritise
and focus on short-, medium-, and long-term goals, making clear
decisions about what the Council can and cannot do. Reviewing the
Plan ensures alignment with current challenges and commitments,
enabling the Council to deliver the most value to residents within
its capacity.
