Purpose

To present Cabinet with the 2025/26 Corporate
Key Performance Indicators and Delivery Plan Actions for
agreement.

Content

The Cabinet considered a report
of the Executive Director (Strategy and Change) presenting the
Corporate Performance Report and Corporate Delivery Plan which set
out the key performance targets and actions to deliver the
Council’s priorities for 2025/26.
 
Resolved:
 
That the 2025/26 Key
Performance Indicators and Corporate Delivery Plan Actions, as set
out in appendix 1 and 2 of the submitted report, be
approved.
 
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:
 
The Council could choose to
monitor its corporate performance against an alternative timeframe,
but it is considered that the current reporting schedule provides
the appropriate balance to allow strategic oversight by
Councillors. More frequent monitoring is undertaken by officers and
considered by individual service Directors and the Council’s
Corporate Leadership Team (CLT) including the implementation of any
necessary remedial actions.
