Rochdale Council Cabinet meeting as it happened

Monday 29 June

The meeting starts with a discussion about the corporate plan 2014-2105 Outturn and Corporate Plan 2015-2016.

The purpose of the report presented to councillors is to report performance in relation to the delivery of the Corporate Plan for 2014-2015 and to seek approval to the refreshed plan for 2015-2016.

In March 2014, Cabinet approved the Corporate Delivery Plan for 2014-2015 and this was subsequently translated into directorate activities contained within Directorate Plans and Township Plans for 2014-2015.

There is a need to put in place a Corporate Plan for 2015-2016, pending a review of priorities for 2016-2019 by councillors later this year.
