Consideration was
given to the recommendations of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee
in respect of the Annual Service Delivery Plan.   This was a performance management tool
setting out the Borough Council’s priority actions for the
year, along with key milestones and targets that could be used to
monitor progress with delivery.
 
Due regard was
given to the views of the Committee, the financial and
value for money considerations, the assessment of risk and the
legal implications.  The amendments,
corrections and points of clarification raised by the Overview and
Scrutiny Committee had been reviewed in liaison with Services and
reflected in a revised Annual Service Delivery Plan (attached at
Annex 1).
 
It was also
reported that due to external factors, such as awaiting legislation
or funding from Central Government, the current Plan was missing
some information.  It was hoped that
this missing information would be provided as part of the Quarter 1
update.
 
In recognition that
without an effective performance management framework in place the
authority would not be able to identify any required improvements
or achieve value for money, Cllr Keers proposed, Cllr Taylor
seconded and Cabinet
 

RESOLVED:  That
 
(1)            
the draft Annual Service Delivery Plan 2026/27 (attached at Annex
1) be approved; and
 
(2)            
any updated information addressing current gaps in information be
considered during Quarter 1 reporting of the Annual Service
Delivery Plan 2026/27.
