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. 3.2 Following the local government election in May 2022, a new five-year Strategic Plan was developed in consultation with stakeholders and submitted to Council for approval in October. This sets out the Council’s priorities, objectives and key PIs, providing clear direction for the development of the first set of annual delivery plans, of which the Roads and Neighbourhood Delivery Plan is one of eight. 3.3 The implementation of the Plan will be monitored by the management team with interim progress reported to Infrastructure, Regeneration and Economic Development Committee in February 2023 and year-end progress in May 2023. 4 Main Issues 4.1 The Roads and Neighbourhood 2022/23 Delivery Plan is included at Appendix 1.
