Decision details

The Council's performance framework requires the Executive to undertake an annual review of the corporate vision and priorities.  The purpose is to confirm future priorities and update the wording where necessary.  The outcome of the review will influence the budgets and local service agreements for the next financial year.

The Corporate Strategy provides a clear focus on the most important issues that need to be addressed for 2011 – 2017.  This annual review is an opportunity to consider progress being made in delivering the corporate priorities and to assess the impact of any other influences on the Council's services and initiatives.

In considering further amendments to the wording and presentation of the strategy, it was proposed that the Executive Leader be delegated authority to make amendments in response to issues raised by Councillor R H Price, JP regarding additions to the section on Protect and Enhance the Environment under the heading Our Priorities for Improvement.  

RESOLVED that

(a)       the Council accepts the amendments to the Corporate Strategy 2011-2017, as set out in paragraph 44 of the report; and

(b)       the Council delegates authority to the Executive Leader, in consultation with the Director of Strategic Planning and Environment, to make changes to the wording of the section on Protect and Enhance the Environment under the heading Our Priorities for Improvement.
