The report presents the draft Borough Plan 2019-23 which sets out Brent’s vision, strategic themes and priorities.

RESOLVED that the Cabinet agreed the Borough Plan and Delivery Plan as set out in Appendices 1 and 2 to the report from the Director of Performance, Policy & Partnerships, for adoption in April 2019. 

Councillor Muhammed Butt, Leader of the Council, introduced the report setting out the Borough Plan 2019-23 and the Delivery Plan, attached at Appendix A and B respectively, for approval by the Cabinet. He stated that the Plan set out Brent’s vision, strategic themes and priorities and was based on the Labour Group Manifesto. The vision for 2023 retained continuity with that of the previous Borough Plan but provided a new emphasis on culture and on ensuring that opportunities in Brent were shared amongst communities. Financial context had also strongly influenced the plan, with further major savings required over the coming years. Councillor M Butt emphasised the importance of accountability to Brent’s residents and noted that the Delivery Plan was the means by which progress on the Borough Plan would be monitored, setting out practical steps to achieve the desired outcomes. The Delivery Plan would be reviewed and updated annually to take account of changing priorities.
