Minutes:
The Director of Corporate Services and Governance presented a report to inform Cabinet of the draft corporate plan 2020/24, together with feedback from the public consultation on the draft budget and corporate plan.
This Corporate Plan is structured slightly differently to other years. The deadline for the consultation was Friday 7th February, so the comments which have been received since the publication of the agenda have been included as a supplementary. The objective of having this corporate plan as a living document which is accessible online, and that people will be able to keep up with is an exciting prospect. The Director of Corporate Services and Governance also wanted to thank the specific officers who have worked hard on the creation and presentation of the new draft corporate plan. There has been a significant improvement since the year before.
Councillor Forward wanted to formally thank anyone who responded to the consultation, as well as the officers who worked on the corporate plan. She continued that everyone can see that the Council’s vision is clearly stated. The plan aims to be a high-level document, which can be used to delve into the finer details if you wish to see them. Everyone will be able to hold the council to account. Councillor Forward also wanted to thank the Overview and Scrutiny Committee for their enthusiasm to get involved with the corporate plan, and is looking forward to working more closely with them in the future.
Councillors asked whether any changes had been made as a result of the consultation.
The Director of Corporate Services responded saying some minor changes had been made. However, this document is high level and more of the changes are likely to be seen in the details which will come later on. The most significant changes have been made to the budget, rather than the corporate plan.
Councillor Forward proposed approval of the recommendations and this was seconded by Councillor Rogers.
