Policy steers
Policy steers set out the priorities for East Sussex County Council. Each Cabinet member has a designated area of responsibility that is called a portfolio, and this has its own policy steers.
You can find out the current policy steers for each portfolio by downloading 'Policy steers 2008/09'.
What they do
The policy steers guide the business planning processes of the Council and they take into account:
- past performance and areas we know need improving
- how legislation will affect the services we must provide
- the findings of best value and scrutiny reviews
- opinions of residents and businesses we have consulted with, and
- the resources we have.
The Council Plan sets out how we will deliver the policy steers through a series of targets that are monitored for progress through the year.
