Council Framework

The council has a four-year Medium Term Financial Strategy, which is reviewed and updated annually as part of the budget setting process to support the achievement of the council's corporate priorities.

The Strategy and Change directorate works with all directorates to monitor performance against the agreed corporate performance indicator suite. Regular performance reports are taken to the SLT. In addition, a number of governance mechanisms are in place to support performance management across the council, including monitoring the delivery of the revenue budget and capital programme.

Members play a regular role in performance management, providing challenge to officers. Cabinet receives a report on performance each quarter. Cabinet portfolio holders have regular meetings with Strategic Directors and review finance and performance indicators.

Demonstrate transparency and accountability

The key decision list is published monthly on the internet, and details all key decisions proposed to be made by the council during the relevant period. Any key decision which is not on the key decision list may not be taken within that period, unless the report author is able to demonstrate to the Monitoring Officer and relevant members that urgency procedure requirements are met. All urgent decisions taken are monitored by the Monitoring Officer and reported to Full Council.

Senior officers' remuneration is published on the council website and within the statutory Statement of Accounts and other transparency data is published on the council's website.
