Agenda item
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.
