Issue - meetings

To consider and decide on the recommendations as set out in the associated report.

RESOLVED –

1. That the summary of project performance over quarter three 2022/23 as at Appendix A be noted.

2. That the summary of service performance over quarter three 2022/23 as at Appendix B be noted; and

3. That the Recovery Plans for quarter three 2022/23 as at Appendices C-K be noted.

REASON FOR DECISION: To monitor the effectiveness of the Council’s actions and plans to meet all of the objectives within the Five- Year Plan, highlight underperforming areas, and propose actions to remedy any underperformance to ensure the key objectives are met.

Councillor Christopher Hall, Cabinet Member for Finance and Performance introduced Pamela Grover-Morgan, Performance and Governance Manager who presented the report set out in the agenda.

Discussion and questions from Members included the following:

-       The graphs included Appendix C were helpful as they provided a good level of explanation.

-       The graphs included at Appendix B were less helpful and were a little blunt.  The level of underperformance was very marginal, e.g. Household Waste sent for reuse and composting had missed its target by 0.16%.  Whilst it had underperformed, there should be a better way of explaining the figures.

-       The work of the Economic Development Team was applauded.

-       Going forward, Cabinet might want to look at which KPI’s it wanted to report on.
