'Radical' COVID recovery plans unveiled by cabinet

‘Radical’ new plans to help the Royal Borough recover from the COVID-19 crisis were revealed by the cabinet this week.

At a Royal Borough cabinet transformation sub-committee on Tuesday, senior members of the cabinet revealed the draft Royal Borough Transformation Strategy 2020-2025, plans which seek to completely transform the way the council operates and how it and residents interact with each other.

The focus of the plan is to create a ‘community-centric borough of opportunity and innovation’, aiming to take advantage of the new ideas the council was forced to come up with to navigate through lockdown.
