Decision details

Cabinet considered the head of policy and programmes’ report, being the corporate plan performance monitoring report for quarter 3, 2021/22.  This covered the period 1 October to 31 December 2021. 

The Cabinet member for corporate services and transformation reported that the monitoring report provided a strategic overview of performance, focusing on the activity to deliver the priorities in the corporate plan. 

The report had been considered by the Scrutiny Committee.  The committee had found the report helpful in understanding and monitoring the council’s activity.  The committee had asked the Cabinet member to consider improving the report’s promotion to the public, and suggested a press release each quarter along with social media posts.  The Cabinet member would be working with officers and the Cabinet member for community engagement on these suggestions during the next quarter. 

The Climate Emergency Advisory Committee had considered and welcomed the report also. 

Cabinet welcomed the performance monitoring report and thanked the Scrutiny Committee for its suggestions.  Cabinet recognised that not all councils undertook this level of reporting; this illustrated the council’s commitment to openness and accountability.  Cabinet thanked officers for the large amount of work being undertaken to further the council’s corporate objectives, particularly during the third quarter of 2021/22. 

RESOLVED: to note the corporate plan performance monitoring report for quarter 3, 2021/22.
