the Strategic Plan and address the performance challenges and service
priorities identified in the planning process. The Plan also provides an
overview of services and resources, including employees and budgets, sets
out the performance indicators (PIs) for monitoring progress and considers the
relevant risks.

Housing and Communities Committee on 1 May 2024 with a commitment to
report mid-year and year-end progress in November 2024 and May 2025
respectively.
