The Leader presented the report and Action Plan demonstrating the commitment of the Council to improve and develop services to residents.  The Council must have a very clear and strong communication to boost the Authority and the amazing innovative approaches the Council are taking to develop Havering into a wonderful place to live and work.  It is an exciting time for Havering with three excellent joint ventures and innovative approaches to development.  It is essential to put Havering on the map.

Decision making processes will be sharpened and resources have increased to provide support to the Cabinet.  All aspirations are covered in the Corporate Plan.  The focus is on future improvement and our direction of travel as a Local Authority.  The Chief Executive indicated there had been feedback from staff and ways to improve have already been incorporated into the work/action plan.

Engaging with the community is a prime requirement working towards one vision for all of our communities.
