Issue - meetings

The Cabinet Member for Corporate Performance and Delivery introduced the corporate performance framework report for the first quarter of the 2017/18 financial year.

The Cabinet Member remarked on the regular meetings between Cabinet Members and senior managers at which the data was discussed in detail and referred to a number of the positive performance areas as well as several areas for improvement.  The Cabinet Member also commented that the qualitative data that had proved informative in previous performance reports would be revived for future reports.

Other issues that arose during the discussions included:

·  The need for the Council to address the problems of indiscriminate parking of lorries and trucks in residential areas to improve the safety and environment of local residents; and

·  The interest from a number of other local authorities in the Council’s Equality Strategy and the Gender Equality Charter.

The Cabinet resolved to:

(i)  Note progress against the Key Accountabilities as detailed in Appendix 1 to the report; and

(ii)  Note performance against the Key Performance Indicators as detailed in Appendix 2 to the report.
