Decision

 

That Cabinet note the review of the delivery of the Corporate Plan 2024-2027.

 

Reasons for the decision

 

This summary report delivered a strategic overview of the first year of the Corporate Plan and offered assurance to residents and Members on our ongoing commitment to continuous improvement.

 

Other options considered

 

The Overview & Scrutiny Committees (OSCs) lead on performance monitoring and scrutiny. Therefore, performance could purely be reported to the respective OSC. Whilst offering focused scrutiny in line with the Committee remits, the individual OSCs would be unable to assess the Council’s performance overall. This report provided an accessible and strategic overview of overall delivery for 2024/25. Detailed Key Performance Indicator (KPI) reports for Q4 2025/26 would be presented to the OSCs over the Q2 2025/26 committee cycle.

Reasons for the decision

 

In January 2024 the council adopted the Corporate Plan until 2027. This summary report delivered a strategic overview of the first year of the Corporate Plan and offered assurance to residents and Members on the ongoing commitment to continuous improvement.

 

A detailed breakdown of Quarter 4 Key Performance Indicator (KPI) data was due to be considered by the relevant committees. Next week the process started with Housing OSC.

 

The Corporate Plan contained 58 priorities. 7 have been completed, 41 were on target, and 10 were below target.

 

Vesting day for SKDC’s successor council would coincide with the expiration of the Corporate Plan. In 2027/2028 it was expected that SKDC would be under a Section 24 directive, which could impact the efficient delivery of Council business and may risk a meaningful delivery of the Corporate Plan.
