In April 2024 Government announced that local authorities were required to produce productivity plans and submit them to Government by 19 July 2024. In summary the plan had to cover:-
- How the Council has transformed the way we design and deliver services to make better use of resources;
- How the Council plan to take advantage of technology and make better use of date to improve decision-making, service design and use of resources;
- The Council's plans to reduce wasteful spend with the organisation and systems;
- The barriers preventing progress that the Government can help to reduce or remove
The plan covers the detail that was required by Government under the above headings.
