Decision Maker and Target Date:  Full Cabinet, 19 January 2010

Forward Plan Ref: 2009/154

Contact:  Ben Threadgold, Senior Policy Officer (01865 328219)

Report by:  Assistant Chief Executive (Strategy)

A draft of the Corporate Plan for the period 2010/11 to 2014/15 is provided for approval by Cabinet on 19 January 2009 in advance of consideration by the full Council in February 2009. By the time of the meeting the draft plan will have been considered by the Strategy and Partnerships Scrutiny Committee. The Committee’s advice will be reported to this meeting as part of the schedule of addenda.

The plan is still in a draft format and further work is required, particularly reviewing the nature of the targets for each priority and in developing the accompanying delivery plan. We will be working with Directorate teams early in the New Year to ensure that the targets are outcome focused, challenging and measurable.

The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED, subject to consideration of any advice from the Strategy & Partnerships Scrutiny Committee and to the inclusion of consequential and editorial changes in the text as agreed by the Chief Executive in consultation with the Leader of the Council, to RECOMMEND the Council to approve the Medium Term Corporate Plan 2010/11-14/15.
