Agenda item

The Service Lead, Strategy & Performance introduced a report on the refresh of the Council’s Five Year Plan 2018/19 to 2022/23 and the role of the committee and panels in scrutinising and adding value to the plan.

Following the launch of the Five Year Plan in 2015 there had been an annual refresh of the priorities and outcomes.  This process was underway for the plan to be agreed by Cabinet and the Council in February 2018 and a draft outlined was noted as at Appendix A to the report.  The links between the plan and the Medium Term Financial Strategy were important and work was ongoing to ensure they were properly aligned.

Members discussed the future arrangements for scrutiny of the plan and it was proposed that an informal meeting of the Committee be held prior to the start of the next municipal year to discuss the impact that scrutiny had had and to consider how future arrangements could be improved.

Resolved –  That details of the Five Year Plan Refresh for 2018/19 be noted.
