Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendation.

Councillor Roberts introduced the report and explained that the Annual Performance Report set out an analysis and summary of how well the Council had performed against its Well-being Objectives, Priorities and Sub-priorities at the end of the financial year 2023/24 of our Council Plan (2023-28).

The Annual Performance Report also provided a summary of performance regarding other key areas of focus within the Council, i.e., Public Services Boards,

Strategic Equality Plan.

The Well-Being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 placed a duty on public bodies to work together to create a sustainable Wales. It set out seven interdependent wellbeing goals for Wales and required public bodies to work towards all of these goals. It was set out in the Council Plan (2023-28), which defined the deliverable organisational priorities and outcomes.

The Chief Executive highlighted some of the key changes to the Annual Performance Report which included:

Section 3 - previously aligned Portfolio’s Priorities / Well-being Objectives

to the Council Plan. This had been removed and now detailed the Council

Plans Priorities / Well-being Objectives.

Section 3.1 - would provide a high-level overview of how each of the

priorities / sub-priorities considered the five ways of working and the seven

well-being goals (mapping exercise had been undertaken recently by

Portfolio’s to identify this).

Section 4 – areas of High Performance, would be removed.

Section 5 - would now provide information of what had been achieved during

the year for each of the Council Plan 2023-28 Priorities / Sub-priorities rather than what had been achieved for each Portfolios. Would also include a

high-level summary of the Council Plan End of Year report for each of the

Priorities / Sub-priorities. Where possible it would include links to information /

stories on the Council’s website or Facebook page that was relevant to the

Priorities / Sub-priorities.

Full details of the Council Plan, End of Year Performance report would be a supporting document to the Annual Performance Report.

Section 7 - Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 - Five Ways of Working

will be removed as links to the Act are considered in Section 3.1 and

Section 5.

Section 13 – Corporate Health and Safety, will be removed.

Councillor Healey welcomed the amended report and the progress made in relation to Climate Change.

RESOLVED:

That the changes to the Annual Performance Report for 2023/24, which includes incorporating the Council Plan 2023-28 End of Year Performance report into the Annual Performance report be approved.
