Report Title: Corporate Plan Q1 Performance Report - (2025/26) 

Presented by: Councillor Ray Morgon, Leader of the Council

Summary:

The Council’s Corporate Plan was formally adopted in April 2024. A review of the metrics took place towards the end of the financial year and the updated corporate plan was agreed and formally adopted at cabinet in April 2025. 

The Corporate Plan continues to be made up of the three Strategic Director Service plans and describes how we will deliver the vision under the following three themes: 

·         Supporting our residents to stay safe and well 

·         A great place to live work and enjoy 

·         Enabling a resident-focussed and resilient council 

Under each theme sit a number of outcomes and key deliverables associated to the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that were agreed to be the most appropriate for measuring progress.  These KPIs have been brought together into a Corporate Plan Performance Report, which provides an overview of the Council’s performance. The report is presented in PowerBI and highlights good performance and potential areas for improvement.   

The Overall KPI status page identifies where the Council is performing well (Green) and not so well (Amberand Red).  KPIs which are narrative only, or for which it is not appropriate to set a target,are shown in Blue.  RAG ratings for 2025/26 are as follows: 

·         Red= Below target  

·         Amber= Below target but within target tolerance 

·         Green= On or above target 

Also included in the Power-BI report are Direction of Travel (long-term and short-term), which compares: 

·         Short-term performance – with the previous quarter (Quarter 4 2024/25) 

·         Long-term performance – with the same time the previous year (Quarter    1 2024/25, where available) 

Please note the green arrow shows if (é) higher performance is better or (ê) lower performance is better.  

Cabinet acknowledged the challenges and committed to improvement plans.

Clarification provided that targets are aspirational and reflect ongoing service delivery.
