Business Plan

Cabinet

 

1.            agreed that a public consultation be carried out about the following priorities for the 2019-2024 Business Plan

 

·         Economic Development – We will support businesses of all sizes, including rural enterprise and farming, to help create new jobs and opportunities near to where people live.

 

·         Housing that is affordable for everyone to live in – Our focus will be on building vibrant and healthy communities with a range of homes people can genuinely afford to live in. Our communities will have the right facilities and services and be places where people love to live, not just groups of houses.

 

·         Climate and Environment – We will put the environment at the centre of everything we do to create a cleaner, greener future for our communities.

 

·         A 21st Century Council – We will provide our customers with the high quality services that we would expect ourselves, always strive to reduce costs, build on what we are good at to generate our own income and make decisions in a transparent, open and inclusive way.

 

as detailed in Appendix 1 to the report from the Chief Executive. The document and public consultation responses would then inform the further development of a full Business Plan.

 

2.            Agreed that the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Leader, be authorised to facilitate public consultation to last from Monday 19 November 2018 until Monday 7 January 2019, with the priorities being published on the Council’s website and in the South Cambs Magazine for comment, and promoted through social media. Businesses receiving the Council’s business newsletter would also be contacted, and Council staff would be briefed and engaged through the Council’s intranet.

 

This decision was first published on Friday 9 November and so the deadline for call-in is 5pm on Friday 16 November.
