To consider the report of the Chief Executive.

Consideration was given to the report of the Chief Executive that gave details of the Council Plan 2018/19-2020/21 (Appendix A) as contained on pages 383 to 410 of the Book of Reports, that sought comments, if any, following consideration by Cabinet at its meeting on 13 March 2018 and prior to consideration of the final version of the Plan by Council at its meeting on 25 April 2018.

It was noted that the plan set out the Council's vision, values and priorities, together with key strategy actions and measures. The Plan enabled the Council to communicate its direction with the public, stakeholders and staff, and supports transparency and accountability. Having a clear statement of corporate priorities also assisted effective planning and prioritisation of work within Services, informing the development of staff work programmes and annual development appraisals, and was recognised good practice.

The Partnership and Performance Officer attended the meeting, provided an overview, referencing details as set down in the report.

RESOLVED:   That the Council Plan 2018/19 – 2020/21 be noted.
