Report of the Director of Health and Wellbeing

The Cabinet considered a report of the Chief Executive that set out the progress made towards the One Coventry Plan in 2020-21. Appendices to the report provided the One Coventry Annual Performance Report 2020/21 and the Performance Management Framework 2021/22.

The One Coventry approach helped to shape the way the Council worked with its partners to improve the city and improve people’s lives. It included the Council’s vision and priorities, new ways of working, and core areas of activity to deliver the One Coventry Plan objectives, key strategies, and approaches. A One Coventry approach would be taken to the Council Plan refresh, putting the needs of communities at the heart of the continued vision to be “globally connected; locally committed”.

This annual performance report set out the progress made towards the One Coventry Plan in 2020-21. For each objective, the report set out the trends, actions taken, and performance metrics to provide an assessment of the progress made against previous years and with other places. This year’s report set out the progress made against an incredibly challenging year where the Covid-19 pandemic had wreaked havoc on health and wellbeing, jobs and employment, and business and economy.

It was intended that the current One Coventry Plan (2016-24) would be refreshed during 2021, to create greater alignment between the key themes and priorities that were emerging in the city and regionally, and the work that was undertaken across Council services and with partners.

The report had been considered by the Scrutiny Co-ordination Committee at their meeting on 26^th August 2021. They requested that additional information be included in the Performance Report. They had no recommendations for Cabinet.

RESOLVED that the Cabinet:

1)  Approves the One Coventry Plan Annual Performance Report 2020/21.

2)  Notes the intention to refresh the current One Coventry Plan (2016-24) to reflect emerging priorities.
