To consider the Corporate Plan Delivery Plan for 2019/20.

RESOLVED to approve the Corporate Plan Delivery Plan 2019/20 as set out in Appendix A to the report.

The Chairman presented the Corporate Plan Delivery for 2019/20. As there would be a new council in May 2019, the delivery plan had been updated, but not significantly reworked, to provide continuity into the new municipal year.

He said the Corporate Plan priorities were:

(i)    Promote thriving, safe and healthy communities

(ii)   Protect and enhance heritage and character

(iii)  Support sustainable business growth

(iv)Maintain a financially sound and effective Council

Underpinning these priorities were three themes that were embedded in the way the Council delivered its services:

i)    to manage and minimise the environmental impact of Council activities

ii)   to maximise the use of digital and SMART technology to enhance     wellbeing

iii)  to demonstrate the Council’s commitment to diversity and inclusion

The Portfolio Holder for Finance and Administration congratulated officers for their work contributing to the Saffron Walden Castle restoration project. 

RESOLVED to approve the Corporate Plan Delivery Plan 2019/20 as set out in Appendix A to the report.
