Councillor Peter Wilson, Executive Member (Resources), presented the report of the Director (Policy and Governance) which sets out the performance against the delivery of the Corporate Strategy and key performance indicators during the third quarter of 2018/19, 1 October – 31 December 2018.

Overall, performance of key projects is good, with nine (75%) of the projects rated as green or complete and three (25%) projects currently rated amber. Performance of the Corporate Strategy indicators and key service delivery measures is also good, with 89% of Corporate Strategy measures 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 to improve performance.
