Agenda item

The Performance Manager introduced a report that provided the Committee with the latest performance information to the end of September 2017, the corporate balanced scorecard indicators and update on major projects.

The majority of indicators were on target and the indicator on the prevalence of children with ‘excess weight’ at the start of primary school had improved from a ‘red’ to ‘green’ status.  The related indicator for children with ‘excess weight’ at the end of primary school remained ‘red’ rated and the Committee discussed the actions the Council was taken to address the issue.  The Council Tax in year collection rate had fallen below the profiled target and previous years figure and was now ‘amber’ rated.  Progress on several other indicators was discussed including journey times which was expected to become ‘red’ rated in the next quarter and was therefore the subject of discussion with management about what steps could be taken to improve performance.

Members discussed the impact of the Programme Management Office and it was noted that it the work it carried out in reviewing key projects and identifying the learning points helped ensure projects were clearly focused on their outcomes and contributed to the continuous improvement of the delivery of other major projects.

It was noted that future reports would include a RAG rating for Gold Projects and it was agreed that a summary of Gold Projects, including benefits achieved and lessons learnt, would be circulated to the Committee following completion of projects.  At the conclusion of the discussion, the report was noted.

Resolved –  That the Council’s current performance as measured by the indicators within the balanced scorecard and update on Gold projects and performance be noted.
