Forward plan

The forward plan of key decisions

What is it?

The forward plan sets out the key decisions the cabinet will take over the next four months. Every month, the period covered by the plan will be rolled forward by one month. The plan will be updated each month on a rolling basis. The forward plan helps the cabinet to plan its work and provides a range of information about the key decisions the cabinet will take. It also gives residents the opportunity to comment on the issues that the cabinet is tackling.

Find the details about the decision you are interested in, including:

• the expected date when the decision will be taken;
• the person in the cabinet who is responsible for the portfolio and whom you should contact if you want to comment;
• details of any consultation arrangements;
• the documents and reports to be considered before the final decision is taken.

What is a key decision?

It is a cabinet decision that is likely to:

• result in the council incurring significant expenditure or making significant savings;
• be significant in terms of its effects on communities living or working in Medway.
