DISCUSSION:

The Leader introduced the item and explained that the Key Performance Indicators were an important tool to support the delivery of the Council’s Corporate Plan commitments.

The report was considered in depth at the three Scrutiny Panels. The Leader explained that it was important that the Council continued to keep their performance across all areas under review.

The Performance and Insight Manager explained that the report contained highlights from the key measures. He reiterated that the report and the KPIs had been presented to all three Scrutiny Panels, which prompted engaging and constructive discussion.

A non-Cabinet member asked whether, in the context of the Government’s decision on Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), the KPIs would be impacted or reviewed, given that some of the Council’s corporate priorities would come under pressure. The Leader stated that the Council would continue to review its KPIs and the Performance and Insight Manager explained that the current Corporate Plan was due to run until 2028 and therefore the Council would maintain its corporate priorities to this timeframe.
