Decision details

Cabinet considered a report of the Director of Hampshire 2050 and Director of People and Organisation regarding a review of the Hampshire 2050 Vision and mid-term review of the Serving Hampshire Strategic Plan.

Cabinet heard that the outcomes of the revalidation work indicated that the Vision remained largely fit for purpose, and updates were proposed to reflect the economic changes and enable wider engagement and integration with the Serving Hampshire Strategic Plan.  The mid-term review of the Serving Hampshire Strategic Plan strengthens alignment with the Vision and alongside a refresh of the corporate performance framework, a revised Performance Assurance Framework is proposed to ensure improved oversight of the County Council’s delivery against its Strategic Plan and contributions to the H2050 Vision.

The Director of Hampshire 2050 explained that the Hampshire 2050, Corporate Services and Resources Select Committee had scrutinised the report at its meeting on 13 July.  The Select Committee was broadly in support and had provided feedback in writing via the Chairman of Cabinet.  The letter was attached to the report.  The Select Committee requested an additional recommendation recognising the importance of national policy in delivering the County Council’s vision, as follows:

That Hampshire County Council approaches Government relating to constraints which may need to be overcome to achieve our vision.

The recommendations set out in the report and the additional recommendation, above, were considered and agreed. A decision record is attached to these minutes.
