Agenda item

(a)  That the template for reporting progress against delivery of the Ruling Group Manifesto attached as Appendix A be agreed.

(b)  That progress be reported on a quarterly basis.

Further to the decision taken by the Cabinet on 29^th May 2018 to adopt the Slough Labour Party Manifesto 2018 as Council policy, the Service Lead, Strategy & Performance introduced a report that detailed the reporting arrangements for delivering of the manifesto.

Each manifesto pledge had been assigned to a Lead Member, lead officer and director with specific actions to work towards the commitment that had been made.  The pledges had also been cross referenced to the Council’s Five Year Plan.  It was proposed that the Cabinet receive reports on a quarterly basis alongside performance and project reports, the first of which would be received by the Cabinet in September 2018.  It was noted that there was more detail in internal versions such as timescales and costings that sat behind each pledge.

The Cabinet welcomed the detailed work that had been undertaken to set out how the Council would deliver the manifesto pledges and the reporting arrangements were agreed.

Resolved –

(a)  That the template for reporting progress against delivery of the Ruling Group Manifesto attached as Appendix A to the report be agreed.

(b)  That progress be reported on a quarterly basis.
