DECISION
 

1.    
Notes the strategic delivery and performance report for Q2
covering the period of 1st July 2025 to 30th September
2025.
 

2.    
Reviews the status of 60 performance measures in Q2 tracking
the delivery of Year 4 of the Strategic Plan 2022-2026 (shown in
Appendix A of the report submitted). 

Reasons for the decision

The
council’s reporting cycle – the Performance Management
& Accountability Framework is set up to provide quarterly
update reports for the delivery of the Strategic Plan 2022-2026
including operational performance measures. 1.2 Targeted
performance measurement is relevant to strategic policy as it helps
services to be designed so that they can deliver strategic
objectives. 1.3 By examining performance measures of operational
activity, the council can make informed decisions about how to
effectively steer resources towards the goals of the
organisation. 

Alternative options considered

Cabinet may decide
not to review the performance information. This is not recommended
as Corporate Directors and Lead Members have a key role to review
and challenge under-performance in their services and utilise
performance information to inform resource
allocation.
