Issue - meetings

The report provides information and background on performance metrics collected as part of the Council’s monitoring of Corporate Strategy priorities. 

Cllr Mark Elliott, Cabinet Member for Resources, introduced the report, moved the officer recommendation and made the following points:

·  The report provides an update on a selection of performance indicators which have shown movement over the first half of the year.

·  There has been good performance in waste and recycling, as well as compliance with air quality goals and positive trends in social care.

·  However, there have been challenges, particularly in areas where the council has less direct influence or where there is influence of national trends, such as the district-wide greenhouse gas emissions or households in temporary accommodation.

Cllr Manda Rigby seconded the proposal and made the following points:

·  The Cabinet should review what is being measured and what plans are in place for the areas where we are not hitting our targets.

·  For example, as set out in the peer challenge document, some further work is needed around inequalities and how we promote this work.

·  The Key Performance Indicators need to continually evolve in the light of challenges such as the peer review.

RESOLVED (unanimously):

To note the findings of the performance report and to consider any follow-up actions or information requirements.
