The
Cabinet considered a report of the Executive Director (Strategy and
Change) summarising the corporate performance to the end of
November 2023.
 
Resolved:
 
That
the Corporate Performance Report as at 30 November 2023, as set out
in Appendix 1 to the submitted report, be noted.
 
Reasons for decision:
 
1.
The Corporate Performance Report informs decision making to ensure
that the Council’s priorities are on track to be achieved and
aligns with the Financial Performance Report to ensure that they
are delivered within the approved budget provision.
 
2.
Improving efficiency and productivity is essential but the scale of
the
unprecedented financial pressures will inevitably lead to a
reduction in the
range, quality, cost and responsiveness of other discretionary
Council services, as well as challenging our approach to statutory
services.
 
Other options:
 
to
monitor corporate performance against an alternative timeframe, but
it is considered that the current reporting schedule provides the
appropriate balance to allow strategic oversight of the budget by
Councillors and to also formally manage the Council’s
exposure to financial risk.
