This report asks the Committee to recommend that Council adopt the Council Plan Update 2026/27.

The Committee considered a report on a review of the 2025-28 Council Plan. A proposed Council Plan Update was attached to the report at Appendix One and a change log of proposed changes at Appendix Two.

The report explained that the review of the Council Plan had focused on factual updates to sections on key achievements in 2025, resident services, and the Council’s budget, updating Council Plan projects to reflect any completed projects, those that are or will become business as usual, or new projects in 26/27, and updating KPIs to ensure these were still the correct measures going forward and add results for 2024/25. Several KPIs had been updated to align with the newly published Local Outcomes Framework.  The report asked the Committee to recommend the update to the full Council meeting on 24 March 2026.

Resolved –

(1)       That Council be recommended to adopt the Council Plan Update 2026-27, as attached to the report at Appendix 1;

(2)       That, if adopted, the Council Plan Update 2026-27 be published on the Council’s website.
