Decision

The Cabinet considered a report of the Executive Director (Strategy and Change) presenting the refreshed Corporate Plan 2023-2027.

On behalf of the Cabinet, the Leader of the Council conveyed his thanks and appreciation to both Councillors and officers for their contribution towards the production of an excellent Plan.

Recommendation:

That the Council be recommended to approve the draft Corporate Plan 2023-27, as set out in Appendix 1 to the submitted report and that any final changes prior to publication be delegated to the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Leader of the Council. 

Reasons for recommendation:

To ensure that the Council has a robust strategic plan which clearly articulates the priorities for the organisation enabling efficient use of resources.

Other options:

There is no requirement to have a Corporate Plan, but it is best practice and provides a helpful narrative to set the direction for the work.

Note: This is a Council Function

Not eligible for call-in as the matter has been subject to pre-Cabinet Scrutiny by the Policy and Resources Scrutiny Committee.
