Report of the Leader

RESOLVED THAT:

1.    the corporate plan review and end of year performance report is noted;

2.    the intention to refresh the corporate plan is noted.       

The Leader introduced her report, updating Members on the Corporate Strategy, and drew their attention to the highlights of the review report, to the end of March 2024. In addition to the Corporate Plan review, the end-of-year performance report sets out the key performance indicators with an end-of-year commentary, which confirmed that overall performance has been good, but there are some areas where it could be improved.

She said that the Corporate Plan requires regular monitoring and updating, and the re-integration of CBH require a refresh to reflect the new arrangement.  This will take place over the coming months, and a new set of performance metrics to support the plan and measure success will be established .

She ended by saying that this year, to ensure continuity in performance management, service managers will be asked to report on a streamlined set of performance metrics aligned to the priorities in the existing corporate plan.

The Cabinet Member for Major Developments and Housing Delivery said the depth and breadth of what the council does is amazing, particularly in the context of the pandemic, cost-of-living crisis and financial crisis.  He looked forward to the revised plan in 2025.
