Cabinet reviewed and noted the report

Councillor Roger Ramsey, Leader of the Council, introduced the report

The report set out the performance of the Council’s Corporate Performance Indicators for Quarter 4 (January to March 2014) 2013/14, against the five Living Ambition Goals of the Corporate Plan:

·         Environment

·         Learning

·         Towns and Communities

·         Individuals

·         Value

The report identified where the Council was performing well (Green) and not so well (Amber and Red).  The variance for the ‘RAG’ rating was:

·           Red = more than 10% off the Quarter 4 Target and where performance had not improved compared to Quarter 4 2012/13

·           Amber = more than 10% off the Quarter 4 Target and where performance had improved or been maintained compared to Quarter 4 2012/13.

·           Green = on or within 10% of the Quarter 4 Target

Where the RAG rating was ‘Red’, a ‘Corrective Action’ box had been included in the report.  This highlights what action the Council is taking to address poor performance, where appropriate.

Also included in the report was a Direction of Travel (DoT) column which compares performance in Quarter 4 2013/14 with performance in Quarter 4 2012/13.  A green arrow (é) signified performance was better and a red arrow (ê) signified performance was worse.  A black arrow (è) signified that performance was the same.
