Issue - meetings

The Board considered a report on the Council Plan 2011-2014.  The Senior Corporate Policy and Performance Officer informed Members that the Council Plan had been restructured this year in order to take account of both the financial and political changes that have taken place.

The Executive Director, Finance and Corporate Resources informed Members that there was less actions and objectives in the Council Plan than in previous years.  This was due to the Council bringing forward the Shared Service and Transformation programme from a 3 year time schedule to 18 months. Heads of Service had therefore been asked to include only achievable actions and objectives, as it was imperative that the Shared Service and Transformation programme be completed within the timeline set.

The Board discussed the following in more detail:

• Implementation of the Countywide Housing Strategy Action Plan
• The review of protocols and procedures relating to the homelessness service.
• Installation of Solar panels
• Who the Council Plan was aimed at.
• Duplication of information within the Plan and the format of the Plan in future years.
• Key Performance Indicators for older people.

RESOLVED that the Council Plan for 2011-2014 be noted.
