Report Summary

In January 2022, the Council adopted a Council Plan for 2022-25, including a suite of performance measures. The Plan was informed by public consultation and set out the Council’s vision for the Borough and priorities for serving residents and communities.

To enable the Council to work towards the Council Plan outcomes and achieve its commitments, a Year Ahead Delivery Plan was also developed, setting out the key activities to be delivered over the period from 1 January 2022 to 31 March 2023.

The Year Ahead Delivery Plan is updated annually, alongside a review of the Council Plan performance measure targets.

The Year Ahead Delivery Plan for 2024-25 and the review of the Council Plan performance measure targets was approved by Cabinet on 29 July 2024. In line with previous years, it was agreed that there would be two monitoring reports published over the year.

The second and final progress report for 2024-25 is attached at Appendix 1 to this report. It includes performance measures for Quarter 4 (January to March 2025) and progress updates Year Ahead Delivery Plan actions up to 31 May 2025.
