Report of Managing Director

The Managing Director submitted a report (previously circulated) together with a detailed scorecard (also previously circulated) advising Members of the Quarter 2 performance against those key performance indicators for 2018/19 which were within the remit of this Scrutiny Committee.

It was reported that, of those 21 indicators which were reported either quarterly or six monthly at quarter 2 and for which there was information available, 15 have targets and 13 of these indicators were on target to achieve their year-end target and two were not; six indicators do not have targets however, one was showing performance at quarter 2 which was better than the same period last year and five had either no previous data to compare with or no data had been submitted for this quarter.

A number of indicators which were showing good performance at quarter 2 were highlighted in the report and reference was also made to two indicators, total visits to the Dolphin Centre and the number of ward Members who were leading or involved in a litter or grounds maintenance based project which were showing lower performance due to recording issues.  It was reported that, in relation to the litter and grounds maintenance indicator, the figures reported was based on those Members involved in the initial pilot and that improved reporting on the activities which were taking place in Wards by Members was needed.

Reference was also made to the indicator in relation to the number of new homes delivered against the five-year supply and it was suggested that an additional indicator in relation to the Housing Delivery Test which would measure the number of homes delivered on sites allocated within the local plan would be useful to be include in future reports.

The Performance Manager reported that CUL077 – Town Centre footfall trend (rolling 12 months) had been replaced with CUL 080 – Town Centre footfall trend from previous year, as this had been considered to provide more useful data for the Committee.

RESOLVED – That the report be received.
