The Committee received a report setting out the draft Council Plan for 2010-13, a three year strategic plan for the Council. The Plan set out the targets relating to the Council’s priorities and the proposed actions to achieve those targets.

Officers reported that the trend in performance management was now towards reporting on the direction of travel against indicators rather than setting specific and often arbitrary targets. Some Members expressed a preference for the inclusion of definite targets to obtain an understanding of how the Council was performing. There were a number of comments on the format and layout of the Plan including a proposal that a glossary be appended.On a specific point, Officers undertook to circulate a definition of the acronym GV to Members of the Committee following the meeting.
