Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Date of Decision: December 11, 2025

Purpose:

Content: RESOLVED   Amended Recommendation   The Executive recommended to full Council that it:   a)      Adopts the Corporate Plan as set out in Appendix A, subject to the inclusion of the omitted text shown in Appendix E (accessible version)   b)      Notes that progress in the delivery of the outcomes of the Corporate Plan will be regularly reported to the Corporate Scrutiny Committee via performance reports.     Reason for Recommendations – The Corporate Plan is an important part of the budget and policy framework for the Council as set out in the Constitution. Having a Corporate Plan in place that is adopted by full Council provides clarity and direction to the future activities of the Council. As the current Corporate Plan runs from 2021 to 2025, a new plan is necessary.   Alternative Options Considered – The Council could operate without a Corporate Plan. However, strategic and policy decision making is guided by the Corporate Plan, so this is not considered a viable option.
