The local authority demonstrates its contribution towards this purpose in the setting of Strategic Goals (SGs) and in the development of a Long Term Plan (LTP). The LTP describes what a local authority aims to achieve over a minimum period of ten years. The LTP must be produced once every three years, with an Exceptions Annual Plan (EAP) for the years in between. The EAP provides the budget for the coming year and explains any changes from the LTP. The first year of the LTP is the EAP for that year. The Annual Report is used to monitor the local authority’s progress against the SGs and work programmes identified in the 2015-25 LTP and against budgets contained within the 2017/18 EAP.
