Councillor Peter Wilson, Executive Member (Resources) presented the report of the Director (Policy and Governance) which sets out performance against the Corporate Strategy and key service delivery measures for the first quarter of 2018/19, 1 April – 30 June 2018.

Overall, performance of key projects is good, with nine (75%) of the projects rated as green or complete.  Three projects (25%) are currently rated amber.

Performance of the Corporate Strategy indicators and key service delivery measures is excellent.  100% of Corporate Strategy measures are performing on or above target or within the 5% threshold and 89% of key service delivery measures are performing on or above target or within the 5% threshold. Those indicators performing below target have action plans outlined with measures which will be put into place to improve performance.

Members discussed the projects relating to the development of a Housing Strategy, bringing forward key sites for development and the Market Walk Extension which are all currently rated amber.  The Key Service delivery measure “Average working days per employee (FTE) per year lost through sickness absence” has a performance of 2.41 days against a target of 2 days.  It was requested that information be provided to show work and non-work related sickness absence for future reports.
