The report of the Strategic Director of Resources

Presented by the Corporate Portfolio Holder

The Leader of the Council presented the report. In addition, he addressed an email from an opposition Member received that afternoon, advising that the approach of the Council to the Productivity Plan was very similar to other local authorities in Leicestershire on content and member engagement, and that it was a requirement of Central Government for the Council to produce one by 19 July 2024. Officers had tried to provide the information requested by the opposition Member, for the meeting, but given the time available this had not been possible. The Leader of the Council offered to work with the Director of Resources on a response to address the concerns raised and this would be provided after the meeting. 

It was moved by Councillor R Blunt, seconded by Councillor T Saffell and

RESOLVED THAT:

1. The details of the Government’s requirement to produce a productivity plan, as set out in Appendix one, be noted.
2. The Council’s Productivity Plan, as set out in Appendix two, be noted.

Reason for decision: to ensure that the Council is complying with the Government’s requirement to publish and submit a Productivity Plan by the deadline of 19 July 2024.
