Redesign of The Highland Council Board
Tasks and responsibilities
At the Special Meeting of the Highland Council on 24 March 2016 it was agreed to establish a board of 16 Members to lead and oversee the re-design of The Highland Council. The board has listened to staff, partners, community bodies and our Citizens’ Panel. They concluded that redesign is about the council being more:
- Open-minded to new ways of delivering services
- Commercially-minded to sustain services and jobs across the region
- Community-minded, listening locally, supporting more community action and targeting support where it is needed most
It is also also about recognising:
- Staff are central to identifying change and making it happen. They are sources of local knowledge as well as experts in their area of work
- We need to sustain good working relationships among Councillors and staff and with our partners so we can respond well to the challenges we and our communities face
