Issue - meetings

That the Council Plan 2021/22, on the recommendation of Cabinet, be adopted.

The Chief Executive introduced the item and explained that the Council Plan was published as two documents.  Part 1 set out the intent.  Part 2 set out the risks, performance measures, targets and milestones against which achievement would be measured and evaluated.  The Council Plan had been reviewed and refreshed for structure and content, and continued to take account of ongoing recovery in addition to longer term strategic objectives.

The framework for next year’s Council Plan was built around six themes:

·         Economy;

·         Education and Skills;

·         Green Society and Environment;

·         Affordable and Accessible Housing;

·         Personal and Community Well-being; and

·         Poverty

Each of the six themes had been mapped against the Overview and Scrutiny Committees for reporting and accountability.  The delivery of the Plan was the responsibility of the Cabinet.

The Council Plan Part 1 had been shared with Overview and Scrutiny Committees for review and comments.  There had been no significant change to Part 1 following the consultation as the Committees were supportive.

In moving the recommendation, Councillor Ian Roberts highlighted the expansion of both Marleyfield House care home and Ysgol Glanrafon.  The proposal was seconded by Councillor Billy Mullin.

RESOLVED:

That the Council Plan 2021/22, on the recommendation of Cabinet, be adopted.
