In the Local Government Finance Settlement for
2024/25 Councils were required to produce productivity plans. On 16
April 2024, the Minister (Simon Hoare MP) required those plans to
address the four themes of:
How the Council has transformed the way services were designed and
delivered and to better use resources.
How technology and data could improve decision making, service
design and resource use.
How wasteful spend was being driven out of systems within the
Council
The barriers preventing progress and the ask of Government to
reduce/remove those barriers.
The productivity plans needed to be submitted by 19 July
2024.
That, following endorsement by the Leader of
the Council to its content, the productivity plan for the Council
be submitted to the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local
Government within the deadline set for submission of the
plan.
Not submitting the productivity plan was
considered and discounted given the linkage of the funding through
the Local Government Finance Settlement and the submission of the
productivity plans by Councils.
