Report of the Chief Executive

Presented by the Chairman of the meeting

The Chief Executive presented the report to Members.

She advised Members that officers were seeking endorsement of the draft Council Delivery Plan before it was considered by Full Council on the 24 March. She highlighted that the plan outlined the key priorities of the authority post May, which would remain the same as the current civic year, but added that should the leadership of the authority was to change following the election than the priorities of the authority may change. She informed Members that the key priorities had been developed alongside both Portfolio Holders and officers.
