Decision details

The Executive considered report 19/10 of the Head of Corporate Strategy.  This reviewed the corporate plan for 2009-12 and detailed the progress made against the plan’s key actions and targets.  The report also proposed a few amendments to ensure the plan remained relevant and reflected internal and external changes. 

The Executive noted the progress made and agreed the changes.  Councillors believed that the council had made good progress with the plan in a difficult financial climate.  They asked for this to be publicised through the council’s newsletter.  In particular, the Executive cited examples of passing the target to provide 200 affordable homes, and attracting funds for market town schemes in Faringdon and Wantage.  The Executive thanked the staff concerned.
