Report of the Chief Executive

The contents of the report are noted.

As Portfolio Holder for Performance, Councillor Hoare presented the report to Cabinet.  He pointed out that as of the year-end, 70% of targets had been met, with 80% of indicators showing an improvement.  Of the 11 main indicators not achieved, some were linked to current economic issues.  He commented that the Council now had in place appropriate directors and a robust performance monitoring team to enhance the continued improvement in performance and its reporting.

It was recognised that although the good work was continuing, there was always room for improvement and a further report was to be presented to Cabinet in June or July to show the end of year figures with progression figures spanning a number of years

Councillor Hoare informed Cabinet that the format of the report was soon to be altered as newer software was introduced and it would be able provide more up to date information.

RESOLVED
