Corporate Plan
To consider the report of the Leader of the Council setting out the detail of a new Corporate Plan for Southampton City Council which reflects the Southampton 2035 missions, the Council’s transformation, MTFS and improvement priorities, and new equality objectives.
NOTE: This report is submitted for consideration as a general exception under paragraph 15 of the Access to Information procedure Rules in Part 4 of the Council’s Constitution, notice having been given to the Chair of Overview and Scrutiny Management Committee and the public.
The matter requires a decision as consideration of the draft SCC Corporate Plan was bought forward so that it could be considered alongside the Southampton 2035 City Plan at the July Cabinet meeting. Aligning decision making for these two items reflects the close interrelation between the Corporate Plan and Southampton 2035 City Plan and responds to the urgency highlighted in the recent LGA Corporate Peer Challenge recommendations for these reasons the decision cannot be deferred for inclusion in the next Forward Plan for decision following 28 clear days notice.
