Outcome: Recommendations Approved

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Purpose:

Content: RESOLVED    1. That Cabinet approved the Council’s Digital Strategy 2025-2030 which sets out a five year roadmap for digital transformation, aligned with the Council Plan. The strategy aims to improve service delivery, increase efficiency, promote digital inclusion and enhance resident engagement through innovation, data driven decision making and collaborative leadership.   REASONS FOR DECISION   The strategy provides a comprehensive, forward-looking framework for digital transformation.   It supports the Council’s priorities and addresses challenges such as digital exclusion, service complexity, and resource constraints.   Endorsing the strategy enables coordinated delivery and accountability across services.   OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED   Not adopting the strategy would risk fragmented digital development, missed opportunities for efficiency, and reduced service quality.   A less ambitious approach would not meet the expectations of residents or the demands of modern service delivery.   This was not a Key Decision and so can be implemented with immediate effect by officers.

Date of Decision: October 23, 2025
