The Executive Member for Finance and IT presented the report entitled ‘Q2 Update on the Council Delivery Plan’ and advised of the following:

·         This was an important document and it was important that all Councillor understood the role and benefit of this report. It allowed Members to see how projects were progressing and what was being done.

·         This version of the report now included further details on project milestones, as had been requested by Overview and Scrutiny Members.

·         Cabinet Members were encouraged to comment and add views on projects in their relevant service area, as it was important for Cabinet to take ownership of this report.
