Agenda item

(a)  That the progress of the Our Futures Programme, including updates from each workstream be noted.

(b)  That work to decant from Landmark Place and the development of the localities model be noted.

The Director of Transformation introduced a report on the progress of the Our Futures, including updates from each of the workstreams under the Council’s transformation programme.

The foundations of the programme had been laid in 2019 and major changes would be visible in 2020 including consolidating the estate footprint, adopting new ways of working and restructuring the organisation to be more flexible and joined up.  The new operating model for the Council was summarised and significant progress had already been made in redesigning and reshaping the organisation to be more customer focused.  The progress on the localities strategy, decant of Landmark Place, review of assets and move to ‘cashless’ operations were all highlighted.

In response to questions, it was confirmed that the Council was on schedule to move out of Landmark Place in May and the new community centre in Chalvey was due to be operational in August.

At the conclusion of the discussion, the report was noted.

Resolved –

(a)  That the progress of the Our Futures Programme, including updates from each workstream be noted.
