Minutes:

Councillor Isobel Seccombe (Leader of the Council) presented the proposed Integrated Delivery Plan which described key activity over the following two years and built on the strategic direction set out in the Council’s refreshed new five year Council Plan approved by Full Council on the 8 February 2022.  The Delivery Plan built upon the progress made with the Covid19 Recovery Plan and was set against the 7 Areas of Focus and objectives in the Council Plan.  It was important to note that this was the first time an integrated view of activity had been mapped directly against the Council Plan and the process would become more mature as it developed.  Councillor Seccombe noted that the current economic climate, inflationary pressures and rapidly changing demands would result in the need for some agility and flexibility in resource allocations and prioritisation of activity.

 

Councillor Kam Kaur welcomed the link with the new Performance Framework and the continuity with the performance measures on Power Bi.  She considered it provided a very good basis to measure progress towards the delivery of the Council’s priorities and objectives.

 

Councillor Jerry Roodhouse expressed the view that it was important that Overview and Scrutiny received performance reports through Chair and Spokesperson Meetings as proposed.  He sought clarification as to whether periodic reporting would be static or live and it was agreed to clarify this point and advise Councillor Roodhouse accordingly.

 

Resolved that Cabinet:

 

1.     Approves the Delivery Plan at Appendix 1 to the report.

2.     Endorses the proposals for reporting progress against the Delivery Plan as set out in the report and involving quarterly performance reporting to Cabinet.

3.     Authorises the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Leader, to make such minor changes as may be required to ensure the Delivery Plan remains dynamic and responsive.
