Agenda item

To consider a report of the Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Devolution.

The seven Portfolio Performance and Resource Agreements (PPRAs) for 2020/21 have been considered by the last cycle of Scrutiny Committees. These reflect the policy priorities for 2020/21 set out within the Council Plan, which was adopted at the Budget Council Meeting in February. This incorporates the shared outcomes from the Borough Plan alongside specific priorities of the Cabinet.

These priorities, re-shaped to take account of One Stockport and Building Back Better (our response to Covid19), are articulated within the Portfolio Agreements, which form the basis for regular in-year reporting. Portfolio and Corporate Performance and Resource Reports (PPRRs and CPRRs) will assess progress against key objectives, priorities, outcomes and budgets, enabling Scrutiny Committees to hold the Cabinet to account and for the Cabinet to identify current and future risks to delivery.

Final versions of these are now presented for approval by Cabinet, incorporating any changes made following discussion with and comments from Scrutiny Committees

The Cabinet is recommended to approve the 2020/21 Portfolio Agreements included at Appendix 1 to the report.
