Report of the Chief Executive

Presented by the Leader

The Leader presented the report to Members.

He reminded the Members that the Council Delivery Plan set out the Council's priority areas of work for the year ahead and the priorities were underpinned by a balanced budget, a focus on value for money and an increasing focus on commercialism and income generation. He advised that the priority work areas for the year ahead were detailed in the document attached as an appendix.

He informed the Members that the plan contained the details of how the authority would work towards the achievement of the priorities in the year ahead, and also considered the longer term actions required over a three year period.  He highlighted some key details from each of the priorities which included improvements to the leisure facilities across the District and to Coalville Town Centre, the on-going work to the housing stock and new Council homes, the on-going support to business and working towards a greener, cleaner District.

He advised that the Council Delivery Plan had been considered by the Policy Development Group and if agreed by Cabinet the report would then considered at Annual Council in May.

Councillor R D Bayliss stated that he was pleased to see the continuing work in providing more Council and affordable housing.
