Decision details

People and Communities' Strategy 2016-2020 - JAN16/CAB/08

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

Cabinet considered the report and RESOLVED to approve the People and Communities’ Strategy 2016-2020 for Peterborough, for adoption and implementation across council services.

 

Reasons for the decision:

The Strategy recognised that demand for Council services was increasing and the way we had previously delivered services was difficult to sustain.  The Strategy set out how the Council would manage this increasing demand for services through transforming the way in which our services were delivered, whilst ensuring the most vulnerable people still received the help and support they needed.   

Alternative options considered:

Do Nothing – this option was not recommended. Given the changes in demand and the reduction in funding to the Council, the Council required a strategy to transform its services to meet these pressures.  By not approving this Strategy, the Council could not respond to effectively respond to the demand and financial pressures or strengthen the capacity and resilience within communities.

Interests and Nature of Interests Declared:

None.
