This report provided details of progress in achieving Medway’s Local Area Agreement (LAA) targets. It was noted that Council approved the LAA refresh on 4 March 2010 subject to agreement on National Indicator (NI) 152 – levels of worklessness. This target had been subsequently set to limit worklessness levels to 3.2% above regional averages.

It was reported that of the 45 LAA targets, 43 were reported for this quarter: 26 (61%) were on track, with 7 (16%) off target but capable of reaching target within the year. 10 were off track and required improvement.

The report also set out details of the consideration undertaken by the Overview and Scrutiny Committees.

Full and accurate performance reporting to Members is consistent with best practice, and will allow Members to monitor performance during the year.
