Issue - meetings

The report outlines revisions to the Council’s Strategic Performance indicators to demonstrate better alignment to the Corporate Strategy 2023-2027 and to provide a basis for assessing performance against the delivery of that strategy.

Cllr Manda Rigby, Cabinet Member for Highways, introduced the item, moved the officer recommendation and made the following points:

·  The expansion of the performance indicators is important to the residents of B&NES in terms of transparency, demonstrating delivery and ensuring the use of public funds is driven by data and evidence.

·  The Council collects, monitors and reports on data regardless of what is says.  We are open with the public and willing to show how we are working to get back on track where necessary.

·  Officers have worked hard to expand the range of indicators we monitor and report on so that they better reflect the manifesto for delivery and to align the priorities to those issues that are important to residents.

·  Preventative measures are now included in the data.

Cllr Matt McCabe seconded the motion and noted the work that has been undertaken to produce the Corporate Strategy and stated that it is right to revise the indicators to obtain a clear picture of our performance.

RESOLVED (unanimously):

To agree revisions to the Strategic Performance Indicators as set out in the report.
