Agenda item

Councillor Clarence Barrett, Cabinet member for Financial Management, introduced the report

Cabinet was reminded that the Corporate Performance Report provided an overview of the Council’s performance for each of its strategic goals (Clean, Safe and Proud).

The report identified where the Council was performing well (Green) and not so well (Amberand Red). 

Where performance was more than the ‘variable tolerance’ off the quarter target and the RAG rating was ‘Red’, ‘Corrective Action’ was included in the report.  This highlighted what action the Council would take to address poor performance.

78 Corporate Performance Indicators were measured quarterly.  Of these, 75 had been given a RAG status.  In summary:

·           56 (75%) had a RAG status of Green.

·           19 (25%) had a RAG status ofRed or Amber.

38 of the CPIs had been given a short-term direction of travel (DOT) status. In summary:

·           24 (63%) maintained (è) or improved their DOT (é)

·           14 (37%) had a worsening DOT (ê)

51 of the CPIs had been given a long-term DOT status. In summary:

·           24 (47%) maintained (è) or improved their DOT (é)

·           27 (53%) had a worsening DOT (ê)

Members’ attention was also drawn to Appendix 2 to the report which was a Demand Pressure Dashboard that illustrated the growing demands on Council services and the context that the performance levels set out in the report had been achieved within.
