Background Information: The City Operations element of the ‘Our Cambridge’ programme has twin priorities: Deliver a £700k saving by removing embedded duplication and siloed working that creates complexity and cost where it need not be. This paper provides assurance that this level of saving is achievable Create more agile, fit for purpose services, that are mindful of the environment we live and work in; provide clean streets, safe and accessible parks, housing to decent homes standard and profitable, income earning activities that enable delivery of services to residents the council could not afford to do otherwise. This paper provides assurance that this level of transformation is achievable The paper notes: Some savings are simpler and can be delivered in isolation, some are more complicated. Some savings will be in year, some will align to other activity, and are therefore subject to dependencies, e.g. the Op Hub The programme is iterative, and sequencing will be important
