To present a draft Corporate Strategy covering the period 2017 to 2023.
Our Corporate Strategy sets out our vision and priorities for the Borough.
It is a key document which influences our medium-term budget planning, our day to day service delivery and the large-scale projects that we will undertake in the future.
The Corporate Strategy normally covers a five-year period and is reviewed and updated annually to ensure that we can monitor progress and make amendments as per changing circumstances. At the end of the five-year period a new Corporate Strategy is prepared, in consultation with the local community.
The current Corporate Strategy covers the period 2011 to 2016, so work has been undertaken to prepare a new draft Corporate Strategy for the next five years.
This report explains the background to the preparation of the new Corporate Strategy, including a review of our achievements over the last five years, a consultation exercise on the relevance of our priorities, and a review of the statistical data relating to the Borough’s population and groups within it.
It also includes a draft Corporate Strategy for the next five years which, if approved, would be subject to a period of consultation.
RESOLVED that the Executive:
(a) approves that the draft Corporate Strategy be circulated for public consultation subject to the inclusion of the word “healthy” at paragraph 19(a) to read “strong, safe, healthy and inclusive communities”; and
(b) approves the implementation of the equality objectives in paragraph 32, for the next four years, as required by the Equality Act 2010.
