RECOMMENDATION:
 That the Executive 
 1) Note the progress in delivery of the Better Lives for All thematic delivery plan and the overall strategic performance of the Council.
 2) Commence work with lead officers to make minor amendments to the Year 3 delivery plans for consideration at the next Executive meeting on 2 March 2023

 

1.   Executive Summary

 

1.1     The Council adopted its Better Lives for All Strategy in September 2021.

1.2     We are now coming towards the end of year two of the thematic delivery plan and this report provides an update on progress.

1.3     This report forms a quarterly update which also highlights the strategic risk profile of the Council, performance against key indicators and an overview of the capital programme.

1.4     Since adoption of the strategy, the operating landscape for the Council has changed and as such some minor amendments are required to the delivery plan for year 3. See Section 2.2 for more information.

 

 

2.           Proposed way forward.

2.1.   It is recommended that the Executive consider progress as set out in Appendix A to this report.

2.2.   Since adopting the Better Lives for All strategy in 2021, the operating landscape for the Council has changed and decisions have been taken by Council that need to be reflected in the Year 3 delivery plan. This includes removal of the Ivybridge regeneration scheme, addition of Cost of Living response action plan and responding to the Homes for Ukraine initiative.

2.3.   It is therefore recommended that Executive Lead Members work with the officer lead for each theme to make minor amendments to the Year 3 delivery plans. These changes would not be significant and not require additional funding but would ensure that the Year 3 delivery plans can continue to be monitored with smart objectives for each action.
