Background:

 

This report provided details of how the Council had performed during quarter 1 in 2020/21 against the Council’s three priorities and the actions being taken to improve performance.

 

There were 48 Council Plan measures for 2020/21, of which it was currently possible to report on 39 as two were data only and seven were not available for the reporting quarter. In summary, 24 out of 39 measures had met or exceeded target, 6 were slightly below target and 9 were significantly below target.

 

The report explained that during quarter 1 of 2020/21, as the Council had moved from the Response to Recovery phase of the Emergency Planning procedures, the Strategic Risk Management Group (SRMG) had resumed monitoring strategic risks. Therefore, this report also presented the Q1 2020/21 review of the Council’s Strategic Risk Register. Proposed changes to the Risk Register were outlined in paragraphs 2.2 to 2.4 of the report.

 

It was noted that this report would be considered by the Overview and Scrutiny Committees during October 2020.

 

Cabinet Members highlighted a number of key issues during discussion.
