The Leader of the Council presented the corporate performance report for the second quarter period 1 July to 30 September 2012.
The Leader drew attention to two key areas of positive performance over the period, namely the increase to 64% of primary schools rated as outstanding or good and the significant reduction in the crime rate across the Borough which coincided with the introduction of the Estates Policing initiative, which was the subject of a report later in the meeting. In relation to negative areas of performance, the Leader referred to average staff sickness levels which had risen to 9.44 days per full-time equivalent. The Leader was pleased to confirm that all children requiring a school place in the Borough had now been allocated a place.
Cabinet noted the corporate performance information for the second quarter of the 2012/13 financial year.
