Vale of Glamorgan Council Consultation – Annual Delivery Plan 2023-24
The Council is consulting on its draft Annual Delivery Plan for 2023-24. The draft Annual Delivery Plan sets out the actions we will undertake in 2023-24 as part of the delivery of the Council’s Corporate Plan for 2020 – 25. The Corporate Plan sets our priorities for a five year period whilst the draft Annual Delivery Plan details what we will take forward in 2023-24.
We want to hear from as many people as possible to ensure we have the right actions in our Annual Delivery Plan and that we are addressing the issues that matter most to people in the Vale of Glamorgan. The Plan has been drafted in what continues to be a particularly challenging time and it is important that we continue to plan for the year ahead and consult on our proposals for 2023-24.
Our four Well-being Objectives provide the framework for this Plan and we want to know if these are still the right objectives for the Council.
· To work with and for our communities
· To support learning, employment and sustainable economic growth
· To support people at home and in their community
· To respect, enhance and enjoy our environment
We have also identified three critical challenges that we will need to meet in the coming year. The three critical challenges are:
The Cost of Living Crisis – supporting our residents, local organisations and business in the face of rising costs in particular around energy, food and housing.
Project Zero – responding to the climate and nature emergencies and delivering the commitments in our Climate Challenge Plan.
Organisational Resilience – ensuring that we can continue to adapt in the face of adversity and provide our services despite the financial pressures and workforce challenges that we and many of our partners organisations face.
Actions across all four of our Well-being Objectives will contribute to meeting these critical challenges demonstrating the integrated way in which we work and the multi-faceted nature of our activities.
The draft Plan has been developed in tandem with our budget proposals for 2023-24. We will be contacting you shortly to consult about the budget for 2023-24 which will help determine the scale and scope of the proposals detailed in the draft Annual Delivery Plan.
The Annual Delivery Plan consultation will provide an opportunity for the public and people from a range of organisations and interests to tell us what they think about the planned actions for 2023-24. In drafting the Plan we have taken into account a range of information including feedback to various engagement and consultation activities over the past year. The findings of this survey will provide a further opportunity to ensure that residents, partners and other stakeholders have the opportunity to shape our plans for 2023-24.
A copy of the draft Plan and our online survey can be found on the Council’s website. If you would prefer to email your comments instead of completing the survey, please send these to consultation@valeofglamorgan.gov.uk The closing date for comments is the 8th January 2023.
