Agenda item

The Corporate Plan is the City of London Corporation’s main strategic planning document, providing a framework for the delivery of our services. The Plan, a copy of which has been separately circulated, is a clear statement of our vision and strategic aims and sets out the key policy priorities for the next four years.

Members were consulted on the Plan in 2011 and are not due to be consulted again until later this year. However in the interim, to ensure that the Plan reflects our current circumstances, it is reviewed annually by the Policy Committee. We recently reviewed the Corporate Plan and are recommending a few minor changes.

The key changes are as follows:-

·     Insertion of additional wording into the Introduction, reflecting the City’s work in supporting London and the nation.

·     Deletion of the previous Key Policy Priority (KPP) 5, relating to the Olympics and Paralympics.

·     Splitting of the previous KPP4 into two KPPs, one relating to the City Corporation’s work in supporting London’s communities (new KPP4) and the other relating to the City Corporation’s heritage and cultural offer (new KPP5).

·     Rewording and updating the bullet points supporting each KPP.

·     Replacement of the Core Value “Opportunity and prosperity for all” with a new Core Value “Working in Partnership”.

No changes have been made to the Vision or Strategic Aims.

We recommend that approval be given to the Corporate Plan 2013-2017.
