Issue details

To consider a report of the Leader and the Chief Executive seeking approval to recommend Southampton City Council’s Change Programme to full Council. 

Southampton City Council aims to be a modern, efficient organisation focussed on and valued by its customers, an ambitious, innovative and leading employer setting high standards and the central city and Solent region partner. Given that the Council has to reduce its budget by around £75 million over the next 3 years, it is essential that we consider how to shape the Council for the future.  This report provides details about the Change Programme which will help us to transform the way we do business to reduce costs by more than 30% in the next 3 years and to be a fit for purpose organisation by 2015.
