Issue - meetings

To ask Cabinet to approve the Council's Productivity Plan.

The outgoing Government required the submission of a Productivity Plan by 19 July 2024. Cabinet considered a document which had been prepared in consultation with middle and senior managers.

RESOLVED that the Council’s Productivity Plan be approved.

Reason

Whilst there are no direct legal implications arising from this report, the Council is required to produce a Productivity Plan as part of the Local Government finance settlement. The Government has not issued a template or a detailed list of criteria that the Council must meet when producing the Plan. However, Members must have oversight and endorse the Plan before it is submitted.
