Purpose

The LBTH Productivity Plan is in response to a letter sent to
all council chief executives on 19 April 2024 by the Minister for
Local Government, Simon Hoare, asking all councils to produce
Productivity Plans. These plans are to help the department
understand what is working well, common themes and future
opportunities.

Councils must hand in their productivity plans by 19 July 2024, as
well as uploading the plans on the council’s website for
residents to see.
