Productivity plans

As a condition of the 2024/25 Local Government Finance Settlement, we are requested to produce and publish a productivity plan. The plan details:

  1. How the council has transformed the way it designs and delivers services to make better use of resources.
  2. How the council plans to take advantage of technology and make better use of data to improve decision-making, service design and use of resources.
  3. The council’s plans to reduce wasteful spending within its organisation and systems.
  4. The barriers preventing activity that Government can help to reduce or remove.
