Cabinet had before it a report * from the Chief Executive and Corporate Performance and Improvement Manager on the Draft Corporate Plan.
The Leader outlined the contents of the report with particular reference to the following:
· The draft Corporate Plan had been under development since January 2024 when an initial meeting was held by the Council Leader with the Cabinet and Committee/ Policy Development Group Chairs and Vice-Chairs. Officer support was provided by the Leadership Team and the Corporate Performance and Improvement Manager.
The Chief Executive highlighted the following:
· The Corporate Plan set out the Council’s Aims and Objectives.
· This was a draft document. It would benefit from the insight and review of all elected Members. It was therefore recommended that following review by Cabinet, it be considered at each Policy Development Group, with recommendations referred back to Cabinet, before the draft Corporate Plan was presented to Full Council for consideration and approval.
RESOLVED that:
1. Cabinet reviewed the draft Corporate Plan 2024-28, Appendix 1, and recommended any alterations.
2. Cabinet AGREED that the draft Corporate Plan 2024-28 was to be considered by each Policy Development Group and that their recommendations were brought back to a future Cabinet meeting, prior to any onward recommendation to Full Council.
(Proposed by the Leader of the Council)
