Agenda item

The Cabinet considered a report of the Director of Environment and Transport regarding the refreshed Environment and Transport Interim Commissioning Strategy and Action Plan for 2017/18 which would provide a framework for service delivery over the next year.  A copy of the report, marked ‘7’, is filed with these minutes (it was noted that a corrected Annex C, the Delivery Programme 2017/18, had been circulated separately).

Members noted the comments of the Environment and Transport Overview and Scrutiny Committee, a copy of which is filed with these minutes.

RESOLVED:

(a)      That the Environment and Transport Interim Commissioning Strategy 2017/18 Refresh and Action Plan be approved;

(b)      That the Director of Environment and Transport be authorised to make such minor amendments to the Interim Commissioning Strategy 2017/18 Refresh and Action Plan as he considers to be necessary, following consultation with the appropriate Cabinet Lead Member.

(KEY DECISION)

REASONS FOR DECISION:

To ensure that the Environment and Transport Department is able to publish its Interim Commissioning Strategy 2017/18 Refresh in April 2017.  The Interim Commissioning Strategy 2017/18 Refresh and associated Action Plan provides a basis for the development of detailed departmental Head of Service and Team Plans which outline how the Department will develop and deliver services to fulfil statutory duties and deliver savings and efficiency targets.

The draft Interim Commissioning Strategy 2017/18 Refresh may need to be revised to respond to changing circumstances and ensure optimal use of resources.
