Cabinet had before it a report * from the Deputy Chief Executive (S151) Officer on the Council Productivity Plan.
The Leader of the Council outlined the contents of the report with particular reference to the following:
· The Council had produced an overarching Productivity Plan that had focused on the many areas where the Council had already made services more productive/effective.
· The Minister in his guidance letter, was expecting all Councils to provide Member oversight and endorsement of the plan. It was also fair to say that some of the areas focused on seemingly had very little to do with productivity; a point that had been addressed in the plan by way of responses.
Discussions took place regarding:
· That it needed to be noted that Central Government were supporting less each year and Councils were required to do more.
· The frequency of the report.
RESOLVED the attached Productivity Plan for submission to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities be approved.
(Proposed by the Chairman)
