Waverley’s performance management framework helps ensure that Waverley delivers against all of its Corporate Priorities. Service Plans form an important part of this, setting out the business priorities for each service for the coming three years outlining how they will help to deliver the Council’s priorities.

Recommendation

That the Executive:

1.         consider the comments received from the Overview & Scrutiny Committees at paragraph 15.1 to this report.

2.         approve the 2023-26 Service Plans, as set out in Annexes 1 – 12.

The Executive RESOLVED that, having considered the comments received from the Overview & Scrutiny Committees, the 2023-26 Service Plans be approved.

Reason for the decision: to ensure the service plans reflect the priorities of the Council.

This item has already been considered by the Overview & Scrutiny Committees.

The Leader introduced the Service Plans 2023-26, which set out the business priorities for each service for the next three years and outlined how they would help to deliver the council’s priorities.

The Leader advised that in future Service Plans would fall within the Organisational Development part of Cllr Kiehl’s portfolio. Cllr Kiehl noted that she agreed with the comments of the Resources Overview & Scrutiny Committee, that the Service Plans were difficult to navigate and hard to understand without some background knowledge. She thanked officers for their hard work in developing the service plans and looked forward to working with officers and members to make the next iteration as accessible as possible to the public and councillors while being strategically and operationally useful to the council.
