Content

It was RESOLVED:
-
 

1.1         
To note the performance for Q1 for 24-25,
including the key performance indicators that are shown as red in
the status and commentary around these.
REASON FOR DECISION
To ensure overview of Council performance and
areas of focus where performance is not where it is expected to be,
and mitigation measures to address any KPIs below agreed
targets.
 
Alternative Options
Considered and Rejected:
 
Option 1: No reporting on council performance
– not pursued as good governance requires regular review of
performance against council objectives and statutory duties.
 
Option 2: Reporting on statutory performance
requirements only – not pursued as performance is wider than
just the Council’s statutory duties, it also entails the
priorities identified in the Our Plan for Babergh.
 
Option 3: Reporting on Key Performance
Indicators – currently the option pursued for Q1 performance
reporting.
 
Option 4: Reporting on Key Performance
Indicators and progress on the Council’s agreed strategies,
connected to actions identified from risk mitigation – not
pursued at present, but as shown in the report below performance
reporting is under development and will change moving forward into
future quarters.
