Corporate Plan 2019 to 2022

Report of the Assistant Chief Executive and Chief Digital Officer enclosed.

Minutes:

The Leader of Council gave Members an overview of the Authority’s updated Corporate Plan, which had been commended to Council for approval by Cabinet held on 17 April 2019. 

 

Members noted that there had been good progress made in achieving the aims contained in the Plan.  In particular it was pleasing to note that the Authority’s Council Tax increase for 2019/20 was one of the lowest increases in Wales. 

 

Going forward achieving a balanced budget was becoming more difficult, with year on year cuts, together with the uncertainty around Brexit and the possible consequences for the Authority’s Capital Programme.

 

The Leader outlined the projects being undertaken and completed which included the Strategic School Improvement Programme, the new Transport Hub in Port Talbot the Homes as Power Stations in  Neath, the rollout of the Childcare Offer, etc.

 

The Leader welcomed feedback to him or members of the Cabinet and advised that a short introductory video would accompany the Plan.
