The Committee noted the progress made in achieving the Corporate Plan priorities and received an update as to the latest financial performance as measured against the budget. Members acknowledged that town centres continued to pose a challenge and while some areas of the borough were performing well, other areas needed extra attention. Stapleford was one of the 100 towns, however, selected to bid for government money. The bid would be discussed at the Jobs and Economy Committee. It was agreed that the new Corporate Plan would have new performance indictors and new areas of focus.
