To agree the Productivity Plan (report of the Assistant Director – Corporate enclosed).

Consideration was given to the report of the Assistant Director – Corporate which requested agreement of the Productivity Plan.

The Leader of the Council presented the report.

The following points were raised:

·       Members asked how the information would be explained to public?

o   Officers responded that the document could be linked to the Annual Delivery Plan, in addition to highlighting headlines and incorporating within the six-monthly performance report that was presented to Full Council.

DECISION:

That the Productivity Plan at Appendix A, underpinned by the items listed at 2.4 in the report, be approved, and delegated authority be granted to the Assistant Director – Corporate to update the Plan from time to time in consultation with the Leader.

(Other options considered:
