Decision details

Our commitment to our shared outcomes, place-based working and behaviours continues whatever the crisis, and in fact the impact of the coronavirus pandemic has been to heighten their importance.  The Council’s response to the coronavirus has also cast a strong light on the values we have as an organisation, and our incredible staff teams.  Staff have shifted roles, dealt with business continuity pressures, community uncertainty, family and financial worries, and a lot of hard work and long hours. 

As part of ongoing communication to staff, and to bring together our long term focus and Recovery Framework, a one year extension to the existing Corporate Plan (2018 – 2020) is proposed, that serves as a reminder of our purpose, and acts as an opportunity to make any necessary adjustments to our longer term course of travel, given the rapidly changing environment in which we are operating.

Note: This item shall be submitted to the meeting of Council on 21 October 2020.

Cabinet recommends approval of ‘Our Council Plan’ to full Council at its meeting on 21 October 2020 (with delegated authority to the Chief Executive to make any subsequent required amendments in consultation with the Leader).
