Issue - meetings

Background:

This report provided details of how the Council had performed during quarter 1 in 2018/19 against the Council’s three priorities. There were 43 Council Plan measures for 2018/19, of which it was currently possible to report on 37. In terms of the remaining measures, 1 (Digital Take Up) was data only and 5 measures (net additional homes, excess weight 4-5 years and 10-11 years, carer satisfaction and Medway’s economy) would not be available until later in the year.

In summary, 27 out of 37 measures had met or exceeded target, 3 were slightly below target and 7 were significantly below target.

It was noted that this report would be considered by the Overview and Scrutiny Committees during October 2018.

Cabinet Members highlighted a number of key issues during discussion.

Reasons:

Regular monitoring of performance by management and Members is best practice and ensures achievement of corporate objectives.
