1 THE ISSUE

1.1 The Council's Planning & Review Framework requires all the targets in the Performance Plan to be reported every 4 months. Twice a year these figures are brought together in a Council Performance Report. This is the first of these reports for 2004-2005.

2 RECOMMENDATION

2.1 Note the contents of the paper.

4 THE REPORT

4.1 This report summarises the main issues that have been identified in previous 4-monthly performance reports and indicates progress against the targets in the 2003/04 Performance Plan.

4.2 Where targets are not progressing as planned, appropriate corrective actions have been detailed, and there will be some key indicators, marked as "red" on the report, which may not be achieved by the year end.

5 RISK MANAGEMENT
