The Cabinet Member for Finance, Performance and Core Services introduced the Corporate Performance monitoring report for quarters 1 and 2 of the 2020/21 financial year, the first report under the new performance regime which provided updates on the delivery of projects and programmes of strategic importance, known as the Strategic Framework.

The Cabinet Member explained that the performance framework underpinned the new Corporate Plan and was all encompassing, comprising 300+ metrics and 150+ deliverables to give an effective overview and based on a thematic and narrative-led approach to reporting.  Following the outbreak of Covid-19 it had been necessary to revisit and update the Strategic Framework to reflect the Council’s response and the social and economic legacies of the pandemic which had profound implications for the Council’s short and medium-term plans.

Other Cabinet Members provided brief overviews of performance within their portfolios, collectively paying tribute and giving thanks to the outstanding efforts of frontline workers during the pandemic. 

Cabinet resolved to note the performance highlights and areas of improvement for quarters 1 and 2 of 2020/21 as set out in Appendix 1 to the report.
