The Leader of the Council (Policy, Reform and Finance) (Councillor Sue Derbyshire) submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) seeking approval for the draft indicative 2014/15 Council Plan.

To consider a report of the Leader of the Council (Policy, Reform & Finance)

In June 2013 the Executive agreed a Council Plan for the period 2013-15, which would accompany the implementation of a two-year financial plan and savings programme.  In order to support the Executive recommendation to Council on the 2014/15 budget, a ‘light-touch’ refresh has been undertaken to mark the mid-point of the 2013/15 Council Plan.

The refreshed Plan was considered by Corporate Resource Management and Governance Scrutiny Committee on 4 March. A full Equalities Impact Assessment was carried out for the two year plan, and this remains in place.

The Executive is asked to:

·         Recommend the refreshed Council Plan to the Council Meeting for approval.

·         Note the timescale for developing 2014/15 Portfolio Agreements.
