Decisions:

The Leader of the Council, Councillor Huw Thomas presented the Corporate Plan 2018 – 2021 for approval by the Council.  The Plan represents the administrations ambitions and aspirations for the capital city and the people of Cardiff and Wales. The Plan is the Council vision, policy and delivery framework set within the context of ensuring everyone benefits from the city’s success; continuing pressures on services and diminishing budgets; and the ambition of equity and social justice.

 

Alongside the City Deal Business plan and the Well-Being plan, the Corporate Plan clearly sets out how the city and the region’s performance will be measured, reflecting the strategic alignment between the Council and the Public Service Board and the shared seven well-being objectives and the common understanding of the challenges facing the city.

 

The Leader thanked the Policy Review & Performance Scrutiny Committee and the Performance Panel lead by Councillor Walker who had over the last four months engaged with the development of the Plan and provided constructive feedback on the structure, content and performance targets.

 

The Corporate Plan was seconded by the Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Education and Skills, Councillor Merry who linked ambitions to the budget proposals approved in February 2018 and the administration priorities to deliver on creating opportunities; tackling inequalities, poverty and ill health, action on homelessness and protection of the most vulnerable in society.

 

The Lord Mayor advised that he had received in accordance with Council Procedure Rule 24a an amendment to the report.  The Lord Mayor invited Councillor Boyle to propose the amendment.

 

The amendment called for the recommendation to be deferred to a future Council to enable Cabinet to bring forward a revised plan which included sufficient proposals and actions at a local level aimed at helping to address significant health inequalities, differences in life expectancy and reflect on the motion brought before Council by the Liberal Democrat Group on loneliness existing in different communities in Cardiff. 

 

Councillor Berman seconded the amendment reinforcing the fundamental issues around health inequalities including mortality rates and life expectancy between affluent and less affluent parts of the city; and the importance of working with health networks on major issues for example health promotion and tackling obesity.

 

Prior to taking a vote on the amendment the Lord Mayor invited debate. During the debate there were observations made about the ambition of the Corporate Plan, what more can be achieved; the challenges of inequalities and poverty; strengthening of preventative and support services; the importance of education opportunities and attainment; and the work being undertaken with partners on the seven objectives.
