Decisions:

Council considered a report of the Leader which set out the Council’s Ambition for 2020 - 2024.  The Council’s Ambition would replace the Council’s Corporate Plan 2015 - 2019 and outlined the key areas that the Council would focus on during 2020 - 2024.

 

Councillor James Watson noted that he only had sight of the Leader’s report before the start of this meeting and proposed an amendment to the motion that the report be deferred to the next meeting of Council to enable Members to have time to consider it. Councillor Allan Bailey seconded Councillor Watson’s amendment to the motion.

 

The Strategic Director – Place advised the meeting that the Leader had made it clear from the beginning of the development of his ambition for the Council that he wanted Scrutiny to be involved.  The report had been presented to the Scrutiny Committees some time ago and had been back to Scrutiny for debate and discussion on the performance management framework which would fit under the Leader’s ambition for the Council and which would be completed in the next few weeks.

 

Councillor Ross Walker suggested that the Council consider holding meetings in the afternoons or evenings to enable Members that worked during the day to attend more easily.

 

On being put to the vote Councillor Watson’s amendment to the motion was lost.
