Issue - meetings

The report of the Executive Manager – Finance and Corporate Services is attached.

The Executive Manager – Finance and Corporate Services presented his report which asked the Group to comment on the draft corporate strategy 2019 – 2023. It was noted that due to significant progress made in delivering the current 2016 – 2020 strategy and as a response to the changing landscape within local government, work had taken place to revise the document.

In considering the document, the Chairman noted that the ‘our journey since 2016’ section in the strategy was not accurate and asked for this to be amended. It was also suggested that the relocation of the Rushcliffe Community Contact Centre had an overly optimistic timescale for completion. In a response to this observation the Executive Manager – Transformation and Operations stated that a report would be presented to Cabinet in July 2019, which would recommend a newpremises for the Rushcliffe Community Contact Centre.  

The Group requested that a revised version of the Corporate Strategy be reported back to the Corporate Overview Group at their next meeting before being recommended to be approved by Council in September 2019.

It was RESOLVED that:

a)    The report of the Executive Manager – Finance and Corporate Services be noted

b)    The ‘our journey since 2016’ section of the draft Corporate Strategy be amended

c)    The draft Corporate Strategy 2019 – 2023 be reported back to the Corporate Overview Group before being recommended for approval by both Cabinet and thereafter Council in September 2019.
