The Council earlier this year adopted its new corporate plan ‘Creating Tomorrow Together’ that sets out its strategic direction to 2030 with service priority actions focused on the initial three year period. This report sets out a draft corporate action plan that is designed to outline the key projects and activities that will support the delivery of the Council’s ambitions and priorities.  This report also proposes a draft set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that will provide a framework for the performance management of the Council during the current financial year.

REASONS FOR DECISION:

·       The Council has a key role to play in the recovery of the district from the pandemic and the action plan is designed to set out how the Council intends to deliver against the three year priorities defined within the corporate plan to ensure the primary needs of the district and residents are met.

·       It is essential that the Council has an action plan in place so that it can inform operational plans, financial plans, strategies and policies over the medium term.

·       Relevant key performance indicators (KPIs) are essential to provide a ‘golden thread’ to the delivery of the Corporate Plan strategic objectives.

·       The Council needs to ensure that relevant aspects of performance are measured, monitored and the results are used to identify where things are working well and where improvement action needs to be taken.
