Corporate Performance Plan (2012/15) - Review and Update |
The joint report of the Leader and Chief Executive invited Members to review the Borough Council's updated Corporate Performance Plan for 2012/15, which had been circulated as a separate document. The Plan included a review of progress after the first year of its three year term, with further progress expected in the second and third years. It was reported that the updated Plan showed extremely good progress during its first year based against the improvement themes, assessment of performance indicator results against targets and comparison of year on year indicator results. An explanation of how indexation, performance and target figures had been calculated was provided and welcomed by the Committee. It was noted that the Corporate Performance Plan was a principal means of driving performance improvement and delivery for money. It communicated clearly to Members, staff, stakeholders and residents the Borough Council's key priorities and targets, how the priorities and targets were achieved and where the Borough Council was looking to improve. Queries relating to the target setting for council tax benefits and change of circumstances and policy issues relating to the Local Plan and the reintroduction of rail services were addressed satisfactorily at the meeting. Members commented that the Plan was a useful and informative document which set the context for performance in an easily understood format. It was also an important tool to measure, assess and challenge performance, priorities and objectives. RECOMMENDED: That the Corporate Performance Plan 2012/15 be adopted. *Referred to Cabinet |
