To consider a report of the Executive Member for COVID-19 Recovery and Reform.

[PLEASE NOTE: The Corporate Plan Refresh brochure will be circulated under separate cover.]

The Executive Member for COVID-19 Recovery and Reform submitted a report which provided a summary of the Council’s refreshed Corporate Plan. Members were advised that, since the previous referral to the Executive, the plan had been amended to focus more sharply on three key priorities, namely reducing health inequalities, supporting people out of poverty and addressing the climate crisis.

In discussion, a number of queries were raised regarding the nature of, and metrics associated with, a number of proposed performance indicators and measures. It was noted that the document was intended to be dynamic and responsive, and that consideration could be given to the incorporation of suggestions made. It was noted that the document would be of benefit in emphasising the Council’s key priorities to other stakeholders, and that a communications exercise would be undertaken following its formal adoption by Council.

            RESOLVED -

(1)       That the refreshed Corporate Plan be approved and that its adoption be recommended to Council.

(2)       That the reporting schedule for Corporate Plan updates be noted.
