That the Executive:

1.     Agree the governance arrangements for managing the implementation of the One Teignbridge Council Strategy 2025-2030.

The Executive considered the report to agree an approach to managing the implementation and performance monitoring of the One Teignbridge Council Strategy 2025-2030.

The One Teignbridge Strategy was adopted by Full Council on 14th January 2025. Following this, officers coordinated a series of focused meetings with relevant partners, stakeholders and community representatives to identify the main projects and business initiatives that will help to achieve the strategic priorities. These were included in an Action Plan which was adopted by Full Council on 23 October 2025.

The report covered the Governance arrangements to oversee the implementation of the strategy, the formation of Performance Groups to oversee the strategic priority areas and how performance monitoring will be reported. The report’s appendices included terms of references for the Performance Groups and a Corporate Performance Reporting Timetable.

Councillor Keeling introduced the item and gave an overview of the report and the rationale behind the report. The Leader announced the Executive Members who will lead on each of the Strategic Priority areas, which was an amendment from the published report:

·       Community: Executive Member for Neighbourhoods

·       Economy: Executive Member for Economy, Estates and Major Projects

·       Environment: Executive Member for Environment, Climate and Sustainability

·       Homes: Executive Member for Housing and Homelessness

·       Infrastructure: Executive Member for Planning and Building Control

·       The Way We Will Work: Executive Member for Finance and Corporate

Performance will be reported quarterly, and a power BI dashboard will be publicly available.

Councillor Hook spoke to this item and welcomed the introduction of the report and the governance arrangements. Councillor Hook asked about ensure the Environment and Climate Change are priorities within the Strategy. The Head of Strategy and Partnerships commented that “take action to reduce our own carbon footprint and support communities to do the same” was an overarching principle embedded in the Way We Will Work priority area and there will be consideration of the environment and climate change within each project and their business case.

Councillor Gary Taylor spoke in support of the report and Councillor Hook’s comments.

It was PROPOSED by Councillor Keeling and SECONDED by Councillor Palethorpe and unanimously
