Performance & Projects Report Quarter 2 2018/19

Decision:

That the Council’s current performance as measured by the performance indicators within the balanced scorecard, the progress status of the gold projects and the manifesto commitments be noted.

Minutes:

The Performance & Information Manager and the Programme Management Lead gave a presentation on the latest performance information for the second quarter of 2018/19; updated on the progress of key projects; and delivery against manifesto commitments.

 

More than a half (53%) of the Council’s performance indicators were achieving the desired results and were rated ‘green’ with a further third (35%) of other indicators close to target.  There had been a deterioration in performance four indicators since the previous quarter relating to child protection plans, uptake of health checks, crime rates and proportion of residents claiming certain benefits.  However, there had been an improvement in indicators relating to the number of 16 to 17 year olds not in education, employment or training; street cleanliness and Business Rates income.

 

The one ‘red’ rated indicator related to the number of homeless households in temporary accommodation which had risen significantly in recent years.  The Council had taken action to address the problem including investment in James Elliman Homes and this had contributed to the first decline in the number for two years.

 

An overview of progress of key projects was provided and it was noted that 60% were rated ‘green’ and a further 28% ‘amber’.  The delivery of manifesto commitments was also detailed in the report.  Lead Members asked a number of questions about the progress of specific indicators and projects where delivery was not on track and assurance was provided that action had been taken to address issues that had arisen.  At the conclusion of the discussion the report was noted.

 

Resolved –  That the Council’s current performance as measured by the performance indicators within the balanced scorecard, the progress status of the gold projects and the manifesto commitments be noted.
