The Service Director – Resources presented the report entitled ‘Performance Management Measures 2022-23 – Council Delivery Plan’ and gave updates, including:

·         Previous reports have detailed what was hoped to be achieved by the Council Delivery Plan and this was the first of the new reports, with comments from other Committees.

·         It details the aims for the coming year and the milestones of projects, especially where projects span more than one year.

·         Each project has details of the risks, risk mitigations and performance indicators, which provides the picture in one place as opposed to three separate reports as previously.

·         There was a need to keep this report concise, so some of the detail which had previously been provided had been lost.

·         Risks which were previously monitored, but no longer will be, are detailed in Appendix B. These would now be monitored at service level.

Councillor Ian Albert commented that he supported the change but it was important for Cabinet to not just rely on the Overview and Scrutiny making referrals on this report, but rather Cabinet take an active role in monitoring the Council Delivery Plan report.

Councillor Elizabeth Dennis-Harburg requested that the report be brought to Cabinet on a quarterly basis, as well as to Overview and Scrutiny, to ensure awareness and scrutiny across all levels.

Councillor Ian Albert proposed and Councillor Elizabeth Dennis-Harburg seconded and, following a vote, it was:

RESOLVED: That Cabinet considered and formally approved the Council Delivery Plan and any associated target, to be monitored throughout 2022/2023 by Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

REASON FOR DECISION: An approved Council Delivery Plan provides the Cabinet with assurance that progress against achievement of the Council Plan objective, will be monitored throughout 2022/23.
