Content

Decision:
 
That the
following recommendations be approved by Council (23 July
2024):
 
(1)        
That the draft Corporate Strategy, as set out in Appendix 1 to
the report submitted to the Executive be adopted, subject to such
amendments as may be necessary in consequence of the approval of
the Executive’s response to the comments submitted by the
Overview & Scrutiny Committees as set out in Appendix 2 to the
Supplementary Agenda Pack circulated prior to the Executive
meeting.

 

(2)        
That authority be delegated to the Assistant Director for
Strategy and Corporate Services, in consultation with the Leader
and the Lead Councillor for Community and Organisational
Development, to make any necessary minor typographical changes and
to finalise the document’s design and imagery, prior to
publication.
 
Reasons:

·     
The proposed new Corporate Strategy has been
prepared to set out the Council’s key priorities for the
period up to 2034.

·     
The timings of the meetings of the Overview &
Scrutiny committees meant that their comments and feedback could
not be incorporated into the proposed Strategy (Appendix 1 to the
report).
Options considered and rejected:
To not recommend adoption of
the Corporate Strategy.
 
Details of any
conflict of interest declared by the Leader or lead councillors and
any dispensation granted:
None.
