BCP Council’s priorities and values, underpinning how we will work to develop and deliver services are set out in the Corporate Strategy, adopted by Full Council in November 2019.

Refreshed vision and ambition statements are set out in the Big Plan, providing a wider context and further drive to deliver the Corporate Strategy.

Delivery plan actions are refreshed annually in line, affording the opportunity to celebrate the progress already made and ensure future planned actions remain relevant and are in line with the council’s wider vision and ambitions.

The appended reports show a positive performance story against the actions and the key peformance indicators that Cabinet agreed in February 21. Individual exception reports provide explanations and planned actions to address areas in need of improvement.

The performance updates have been cross referenced to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Levelling up Goals andshow a really encouraging position.
