To consider and decide on the recommendations as set out in the attached report.
Decision:
RESOLVED:
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.
Minutes:
Jane Clarke, Head of Policy and Governance introduced the report that summarised the Council’s performance on its projects and services for the period 1 October to 31 December 2020.
Discussion and responses to Members questions included the following:
- The report covered historical performance only. The position on all projects and services might have changed since the report was written.
- For this year, where indicators were showing as underperforming but were doing so as a direct result of the pandemic, the Council had agreed that service managers did not have to complete underperforming indicator recovery plans.
- There were 4 projects remaining in the Five-Year Plan – counted as 6 so that the Community Hubs were counted individually. Of those projects, 3 were Amber status and 3 were Green status. Detailed updates on the projects were included in the report.
- For Services, the Council collected 32 indicators of which 23 had targets. Of the 23 with targets, 13 were performing and 10 were underperforming.
- To note, the indicators related to waste and recycling were being measured against quarter 2 information as quarter 3 information was not available at this time.
- Of the 10 indicators that were underperforming, 4 were as a direct result of the pandemic and therefore no recovery plan had been submitted.
- There had been a reduction in the overall recycling rate – less garden waste had been collected but residual waste had increased slightly.
RESOLVED:
1. That the summary of project performance over quarter three, 2020/21, at appendix A be noted.
2. That the summary of service performance over quarter three, 2020/21, at appendix B be noted.
3. That the Recovery Plans for quarter three, 2020/21, at appendices C-H 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.
