To submit the report of the Head of Profession, HR and Transformation.

It was resolved to adopt the Annual Delivery Document for the purpose of delivery in 2025/26.

The report of the Head of Profession (HR) and Transformation incorporating the Annual Delivery Document for 2025/26 was presented  for the Executive’s consideration and approval.

Councillor Carwyn Jones, Portfolio Member for Corporate Business and Customer Experience presented the document which outlined the planned actions in 2025/26 to drive progress toward achieving the strategic objectives in the Council Plan 2023-2028. These high level actions are designed to ensure the Council fulfils its commitments under each of the Council Plan’s strategic objectives by 2028. The actions are intended to be measurable and include clear targets and milestones wherever possible enabling effective monitoring throughout the year. Progress will be reviewed quarterly by the Improvement and Modernisation Programme Board and reflected in the Annual Performance and Wellbeing Report.

Councillor Jeff Evans, Chair of the Corporate Scrutiny Committee shared Scrutiny’s perspective following the discussion at its 17 June meeting. The committee had acknowledged the document’s ambition and had sought reassurance on its achievability, the robustness of the performance management framework supporting delivery, and how progress would be tracked and monitored. Members had requested updates on several areas, including the proposed data and information system for social services, proposed extra care housing development in Menai Bridge, flood management, and support for non-Welsh competitors at the Ynys Môn Urdd Eisteddfod 2026. After reviewing the document and receiving assurances on the issues raised, the Corporate Scrutiny Committee had resolved to recommend the document for the Executive’s approval.

The Chair thanked Scrutiny for the input and he emphasised that the Delivery Document sets out the Council’s aspirations for 2025/26 and contributes to the broader objectives of the Council Plan. It serves as a high level document, supported by detailed service-level strategies approved by the Executive.
