Report of the Chief Executive summarising strategic performance data for Quarter 2 of 2020/21.

The report summarised the Council’s strategic performance data on an exception basis following the monitoring and review of performance reports by Corporate Directors and Heads of Service. The report covered the period 1 July to 30 September 2020.

•   Business Plan Projects – 67 of the 71 published business projected have commenced in Quarter 2. A further 4 projects were yet to start as they were timed for later in the year. 3 of the projects were not on schedule at the end of September. These relate to the Local Plan, the Council’s investment in commercial property and the voluntary registration of land with the land registry. All three projects were exception reported.

•   Performance Indicators – 10 of the 53 key performance indicators did not meet their target in Quarter 2. There were all briefly exception reported. As the Council saw in Quarter 1, many of the reasons for this has been due to Covid-19, particularly where the indicator measured visitor numbers or community or home visits.

Services have continued to adapt over Quarter 2 so that projects set prior to the impact of Covid-19 being fully understood are being delivered. The Council’s outturns for Quarters 3 and 4 are expected to be similarly impacted, but Officers remain committed to achieving the Council’s published projects by the year end.

RESOLVED:

Cabinet noted the contents of the report and approved any proposed actions highlighted in the appendices.
