Consideration was given to the report of Pippa Brent-Isherwood, the Assistant Director of Policy, Performance and Community and this was presented to Cabinet by Councillor Clarence Barrett, Cabinet Member for Financial Management, ICT and Transformation.

Cllr Barrett detailed the draft Corporate Plan for 2017/18 which has been aligned to the new Vision for Havering which will be achieved through delivery of the four corporate priorities: Communities, Places, Opportunities and Connections.  Each priority has a Plan on a Page detailed in the agenda at pages 23 to 29, setting out the target outcomes in each area and what the Council will do to achieve these together with how progress and success will be measured.  The Corporate Performance Indicators underpin the Vision.  The CPI set was approved in principle by Cabinet on 12th April, subject to any comments made by the Overview and Scrutiny Board at the meeting on 3^rd May, 2017.  There were no comments or amendments.

It was noted that much of the content of the proposed Corporate Plan is cross-cutting with many of the actions and achievements of the CPI’s being the responsibility of not one but a number of services and partnership agencies all working together with a customer focus to secure excellent outcomes.

Cllr Barrett stated that the aim is to help and support local businesses and residents, in line with the excellent new website, encouraging development and improvement for all.

For the reasons set out in the report Cabinet:

• NOTED that there were no comments or amendments to the list of Corporate Performance Indicators following the Overview and Scrutiny Board meeting on 3^rd May, 2017. 

• RATIFIED the decision in principle taken by Cabinet on 12^th April, 2017, in respect of the Corporate Performance Indicators.

• APPROVED the Corporate Plan 2017/18
