(a)       That the Committee notes and endorses:

• The overall levels of progress and confidence in the achievement of activities within the Council Plan;
• The overall performance against Council Plan performance indicators;
• The current risk levels within the Council Plan.

(b)       That the Committee is assured by plans and actions to manage the delivery of the 2019/20 Council Plan.

The Corporate Business & Communications Executive Officer presented a summary of progress on performance within the Council Plan at the mid-year point of 2019/20.  This was overall a positive report with 88% of actions assessed as making good progress, and 90% likely to achieve the desired outcome.  It was reported that 77% of performance indicators had met or exceeded their targets.  Information on management of the areas of major (red) risk were set out.

Councillor Heesom questioned the lack of information on transport corridors which were integral to the Ambitious Council priority, and the Infrastructure Plan accompanying the Deposit Local Development Plan (LDP) particularly to address flood risk issues.

The Chief Executive said that the report provided an update only on objectives within the Council Plan and included references to local transport schemes forming part of the Council’s commitments.  He suggested that discussion on future provision be referred to the Environment Overview & Scrutiny Committee.

The recommendations were moved by Councillor Heesom and seconded by Councillor Woolley who also corrected a typographical error.
