Thank you to those who responded to this consultation. The plan has been updated and will be considered by Cabinet and Scrutiny committees in February and by full Council in March. The plan will be implemented from April.
About the plan
Like much of the public sector the Council is facing exceptional pressures on its budget so the year ahead will again be a challenging one.
We remain ambitious for the future and recognise the strength of our communities and the need to work together if we are to achieve the best outcomes.
This Annual Delivery Plan (ADP) for 2024-25 demonstrates our commitment to partnership working, to working with local communities, to protecting our most vulnerable residents and recognises our responsibilities with regards to climate change and nature.
As well as our four well-being objectives, we have retained the three critical challenges we outlined in last year's plan, they are:
Organisational Resilience (our finances, people and assets) – ensuring that we can continue to adapt and provide our services despite the financial pressures and workforce challenges that we and many of our partner organisations face.
Cost of Living Crisis – supporting our residents, local organisations and business in the face of rising costs in particular around energy, food and housing.
Climate and Nature Emergencies – responding to the climate and nature emergencies and delivering the commitments in our Climate Challenge Plan.
Actions across all four of our Well-being Objectives will contribute to meeting these critical challenges demonstrating the integrated way in which we work and the multi-faceted nature of our activities.
