Decision details

The committee considered the report which presented an update to the Cheshire East Corporate Plan 2021-25 for the year 2024-25 and also set out the proposed next steps for the development of a new strategic plan for the Council to follow the current plan. Members noted that the plan would undergo minor editorial changes prior to its consideration at Full Council.

Members agreed that there would be a number of challenges both locally and nationally facing the authority over the coming months and queried the impact this would have on the proposed 2024-25 plan. It was highlighted that the future plan would continue to reflect the aims of the council and its priorities, and that the previous engagement undertaken had been taken into account in developing the 1-year plan and would be further built upon with further activity for a future 2025-onwards plan.

That the Corporate Policy Committee

1.    Approve the development of a new Strategic Plan (Corporate Plan) for Cheshire East Council to follow the current plan.

2.    Recommend to Full Council the Cheshire East Plan 2024-25 (Appendix 1).
