The Annual Report will provide information on the council’s performance as well as summary financial information on revenue and capital spend. It provides information on our performance against key targets, achievements and future plans. The Annual Report should be read in conjunction with the Corporate Plan which provides the forward direction for the authority.

The Council received a paper which set out the Council’s Annual Report for 2010/2011 and the Council-wide priorities for 2011+.

It was proposed by the Mayor and seconded by Councillor Excell:

(i)         that the Mayoral pledges and priorities as outlined in paragraph A1.4 to the submitted report be agreed as Council-wide pledges and priorities for the term of this Administration, and as an amendment to the relevant plans within the Council’s Policy Framework; and

(ii)        that, subject to any additional recommendations from the Mayor and Group Leaders, the Council be recommended to approve the Annual Report 2010/2011 set out in Appendix 1 to the submitted.

On being put to the vote, the motion was declared carried (unanimous).
