Report of Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Regeneration and Planning

Lead Cabinet member: Councillor Chris Collier

(Non-key decision):

To note progress and performance for Quarter 1.

The Cabinet considered the report of the Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Regeneration and Planning, considering the Council’s progress and performance in respect of services areas for the first quarter of the year (April-June 2021), as shown at Appendix 1 to the report.

Cabinet noted the work that had been undertaken in reducing the total number of households living in emergency accommodation from 45 in Quarter 1 for 2020 to 25 in Quarter 1 for 2021.

Councillor O’Brien requested that thanks be expressed to Colin Richardson, Neighbourhood First Team Leader and his team, for their work around reducing fly-tipping in the District.

Policy and Performance Advisory Committee (PPAC), held on 16 September 2021, considered the report and were supportive of the officer recommendations in full. Councillor Miller, Chair of PPAC, was in attendance to present PPAC’s discussion. It was commented that the short trend for 10/19 of key performance indicators (KPIs) were down and 8/16 of KPIs with traffic light status were at red or amber. The Cabinet responded that this had been discussed in detail and although some of the KPIs were stretch targets, they had agreed that it was important that focus on those indicators was needed to ensure a change in trend for future quarters.

Resolved (Non-key decision):

To note progress and performance for Quarter 1.

Reason for decision:

To enable Cabinet members to consider specific aspects of the Council’s progress and performance.
