The report of the
Interim Chief Executive provided an update on the progress being
made in delivering the priority actions set out in the Corporate
Strategy Action Plan 2023/24 (attached at Annex 1)  and presented an Action Plan for 2024/25 (attached
at Annex 2) for approval.
 
The Corporate
Strategy Action Plan demonstrated how the Borough Council aimed to
deliver on its key priorities as set out in the Corporate Strategy
2023-27.  To avoid any reputational risk
if the Borough Council failed to deliver the actions identified it
was important that the Plan was regularly monitored to ensure
progress was being made. Regular updates would be provided setting
out progress on the Action Plan 2024/25 if it was approved.
 
Despite a number of
positive steps being undertaken in 2023/24, as detailed in 1.3.1 of
the report, the majority of actions remained ongoing and these
would appear in the Action Plan for 2024/25.  Additional actions which had increased priority
over the course of the past year had also been identified for the
new Plan.  These were detailed in 1.4.1
of the report and included improvements to the procurement
function, implementation of Biodiversity Net Gain and Green
Infrastructure Strategies.
 

RESOLVED:  That
 
(1)            
the report be noted and the Corporate Strategy Action 2023/23
(attached at Annex 1) be noted; and

 
(2)            
the Corporate Strategy Action Plan 2024/25 (attached at Annex 2) be
approved.
