Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendations.

Councillor Mullin introduced the report and explained that it presented a summary of performance at the mid-year point.

The Chief Executive said that it showed that 70% of activities were making good progress with 73% likely to achieve their planned outcomes.  53% of the performance indicators had met or exceeded their targets, with 2% being closely monitored and 20% were currently not meeting target.  The remaining 25% accounted for measures which were new and being monitored as a baseline year.

The Strategic Performance Advisor added that the report was an exception-based report and concentrated on under-performance against target.

Councillor Roberts wished to place on record thanks to all staff across the Council for the efforts made during the pandemic, adding that services would also continue to run throughout the Christmas period.  The Chief Executive concurred with those comments and said the authority owed the staff an extreme debt of gratitude.  All Members also paid tribute to all staff.
