RESOLVED 
 
1.
That Cabinet approved the Council’s Digital Strategy
2025-2030 which sets out a five year roadmap for digital
transformation, aligned with the Council Plan. The strategy aims to
improve service delivery, increase efficiency, promote digital
inclusion and enhance resident engagement through innovation, data
driven decision making and collaborative leadership.
 
REASONS FOR DECISION
 
The
strategy provides a comprehensive, forward-looking framework for
digital transformation.
 
It
supports the Council’s priorities and addresses challenges
such as digital exclusion, service complexity, and resource
constraints.
 
Endorsing the strategy enables coordinated delivery and
accountability across services.
 
OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED
 
Not
adopting the strategy would risk fragmented digital development,
missed opportunities for efficiency, and reduced service
quality.
 
A
less ambitious approach would not meet the expectations of
residents or the demands of modern service delivery.
 
This was
not a Key Decision and so can be implemented with immediate effect
by officers.
