As detailed in the recommendations.

Councillor Mullin introduced the report and explained that the Council Plan 2022/23 was adopted by the Council in July 2022. This report presented a summary of performance of progress against the Council Plan priorities identified for 2022-23 at year end (Q4) position.

This out-turn report for the Council Plan 2022/23 showed 77% of activities were making good progress and 62% of the performance indicators had met or exceeded their targets for the year.

This was an exception-based report which concentrated on those areas of

performance which were not currently achieving their target.

            Councillor Hughes welcomed the document which had been well received at Corporate Resources Overview and Scrutiny Committee the previous week.  He commented on the 100% percentage complete on “Making the processes for claiming free school meals as simple and straightforward as possible to increase the percentage of take-up against entitlement” and asked about figures for the 2023 summer.  The Chief Officer (Education and Youth) explained that the information was currently being collated from the 14 schools who delivered the “food and fun” programme and that information would be shared with Members once available.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the levels of progress and confidence in the achievement of priorities as detailed within the Council Plan 2022/23 be endorsed and supported;

(b)       That the overall performance against Council Plan 2022/23 performance indicators/measures be endorsed and supported; and

(c)        That Cabinet be assured by explanations given for those areas of underperformance.
