Executive Leader’s Forward Plan

About the Forward Plan

This is the Leader of Council’s provisional forward plan for the four months starting December 2022. It provides an indicative date for matters to be considered by the Executive. Where possible, the Executive will keep to the dates shown in the plan. However, it may be necessary for some items to be rescheduled and other items added.

The forward plan is published to publicise consultation dates and enable dialogue between the Executive and all councillors, the public, and other stakeholders.

Local authorities are required to publish updated forward plans on a regular basis. The Plan is published on the Council’s website (www.southhams.gov.uk)
