The Community and Corporate Plan articulates at a strategic level the ambitions of the Council and the principles within which the Council will operate.

That the Council be recommended to approve the Community and Corporate Plan 2023-2043 subject to the following amendment, the sentence ‘we will build strong working relationships with our community police’ under the community and people theme, be moved to the bottom of the summary section of the community and people theme.

The Community and Corporate Plan is the overarching document within the Council’s Policy Framework setting out the Council’s vision and priorities for the next twenty years.  Having considered the feedback received during the consultation, the Cabinet recommended that the Council approves the Community and Corporate Plan 2023-2043.

The Community and Corporate Plan 2023-2043 has been developed based on the evidence in the Torbay Profile, the results of the Residents Satisfaction Survey and the feedback received during the consultation period.

The recommendation of the Cabinet will be considered by Council in due course.

Following the Local Elections in May 2023, a draft Community and Corporate Plan was prepared which set out the vision of a healthy, happy and prosperous Torbay.  The Plan set out with the priorities of the Council for the next twenty years and the approach the Council would take in delivering against the vision.

The Plan had been prepared taking into account the results from the Residents Satisfaction Survey which was carried out during the summer of 2023 and updated following the feedback received during the consultation period.

At the meeting Councillor David Thomas proposed and Councillor Chris Lewis seconded a motion that was agreed unanimously by the Cabinet, as set out above.

None.
