Report of Chief Executive.

Lead cabinet member:  Councillor David Tutt.

Full council requested to approve action plan for year 2 of corporate plan 2016-20 (appendix A to the report), including additional actions and projects and revisions to key performance indicators.

17.1 Councillor Jenkins sought and received confirmation that completion of the Sovereign Harbour community centre would take place by December 2017.

17.2 Cabinet considered the report of the director of regeneration and planning setting out the results of a review which had been undertaken of the council’s four year plan (2016 – 2020) at the end of the first year.  The corporate plan was a key corporate document.  It set out the council’s commitments to its residents and businesses and outlined a programme of important strategic objectives and the projects that would deliver these for the borough.  The plan drawed upon a range of statistical data, as well as the views of key stakeholders, to inform and help shape the policy priorities for the council.  

17.3 The 2016-2020 corporate plan had been adopted by the council in May 2016, following extensive consultation and engagement with local residents, partners and stakeholders.  Progress against key success measures and project deliverables set out in the plan had been reported to members on a quarterly basis, as part of normal performance management arrangements (through both scrutiny committee and cabinet).

17.4 A list of completed actions were given, together with details of new areas of work to be added to the plan.  Appendix A to the report gave information about the volume and range of services that the council had delivered across its functions.  In order to set challenging and realistic targets a number of changes to the performance indicators were proposed and these were listed in the report.

*17.5 Resolved (budget and policy framework): That full council be requested to approve the action plan for year 2 of the corporate plan 2016-20 (appendix A to the report), including the additional actions and projects and revisions to key performance indicators.
