To approve the Corporate Plan 2004/07, incorporating Best Value Performance Indicators, and recommend it to Council for approval on 30th July, 2004.

THAT the Corporate Plan 2004/07, incorporating the Best Value Performance Indicators, as amended, be approved for publication and recommended to Council for approval, subject to any further updating of information and detailed textual amendments that may be required.

The Corporate Plan Best Value Performance Plan forms part of the Council's Policy Framework under the Constitution and its formal approval is a decision to be made by the full Council.

It is open to the Council to continue to publish the Corporate Plan and Best Value Performance Indicators and information separately.  However, this would not be in line with the Council’s wish to follow best practice by integrating its planning and performance management.
