Decision:

(Non-key decision):

Minutes:

The Cabinet considered the report of the Chief Executive, updating on progress of the Recovery and Reset Programme.

 

The programme had made strong progress in leading and delivering the changes required in support of the council’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic and the work to manage the significant budget shortfall over the life of the Medium-Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) period. Thanks were conveyed to officers and opposition members for their contribution to the process, that had now formally concluded.

 

Policy and Performance Advisory Committee (PPAC), held on 27 January 2022, considered the report and was supportive of the officer recommendations in full. Councillor Linington, Leader of the Opposition, was in attendance to present PPAC’s discussion.

 

Resolved (Non-key decision):

(1) To note the progress made with the Recovery and Reset

Programme.

 

(2) To agree that future Recovery and Reset progress reports are provided through the scheduled updates on the council’s performance and financial position and the work of the Recovery and Reset member Board is ended.

 

Reason for decisions:

 

The Recovery and Reset Programme provides a structured and accountable approach for delivering the level of significant organisational change needed to respond to current and future challenges. This work is sufficiently developed for its management and oversight to now form part of the council’s business as usual activity.
