RESOLVED that:
1.That the content of the attached documents form the basis of the council’s corporate plan 2020/24, subject to the proviso that any significant amendment made to the council’s draft budget be reflected in the final corporate plan text.
2. That delegated authority be given to the Director of Corporate Services and Governance, after consultation with the Deputy Leader of the Council to make further revisions as is considered necessary to the attached plan prior to publication to reflect decisions made on the council’s budget.
3.That all those who submitted views as part of the consultation process be thanked for their contributions.
4. That the following amendments are made:
· On Page 11 - Under; ‘Tackling poverty, homelessness and ensuring quality housing’ amend the wording which currently reads: “Managing the provision of disabled facilities grants and enforcing mandatory licensing of rented accommodation” to read: “Managing the provision of and actively promote disabled facilities grants. Enforcing mandatory licensing of rented accommodation”
· On Page 12, amend the wording which currently reads “Regulate the quality and supply of housing in the town through a new licensing scheme” to read: “Regulate the quality and supply of rented housing in the town through a new licensing scheme”

The council needs to approve the corporate plan as its statement of Hastings Borough Council’s strategic direction, mindful of the views received as part of the public consultation process on the draft corporate plan and associated budget.
