Report of the Town Clerk.

The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk which advised Members of the key discussions which had taken place during recent meetings of the Committee’s Sub-Committees.

The Chairman explained that the Efficiency and Performance Sub-Committee met on 17 February 2017, when the implementation of the Efficiency and Sustainability plan had been considered; Members had discussed the importance of ensuring ongoing value for money and continuous improvement, but had also showed that this should not preclude bigger transformative projects.

The Chairman updated the Committee on the discussion which had taken place on Departmental Business Planning and the development of the Corporate Plan. At the Sub-Committee meeting, Members had agreed that the new Corporate Plan should be developed in consultation with Members, that future Departmental Business Plans would need to demonstrate how they contributed to the Corporate objectives, not just the Departmental objectives.

RESOLVED – That the Committee notes the report.
