This covering report and annexes provide data on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that are aligned to the Corporate Strategy 2023-2027 and monitored on a quarterly or annual basis.  These KPIs cover Quarter 3 of 2024/25 which covers October to December 2024.

Consideration was given to a set of Key Performance Indicators covering Quarter 3 of 2024/25 (October to December 2024), attached at Annex 1, which were aligned to the Corporate Strategy 2023 – 2027 and monitored on a quarterly or annual basis.

Quarterly trends in respect of both positive direction of travel and areas of focus were identified and highlighted in paragraph 4.2 of the report, with particular reference made to the drop in reported Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) cases thanks to the engagement of the Council’s ASB Enforcement Team, drop in the 5 Year Housing Land Supply due to the higher housing need set out in the revised National Planning Policy Framework, ongoing challenge in addressing the Housing Register backlog given the higher than normal number of applications received in the last few months and the slight reduction in the recycling and composting rate although it was noted that a comprehensive programme of recycling promotion was scheduled for the next year to maximise performance.

Furthermore, it was noted that a long view for the Corporate Key Performance Indicators for the last six quarters was attached at Annex 2.

Cabinet had due regard to the risk assessment and consultation, communication and implementation considerations and noted that given the overlap between introduction of the new Annual Service Delivery Plan 2025/26 and the scheduled reporting of Q4 2024/25 Key Performance Indicators, there was advantage of circulating an end-of-year report via email and publishing on the Council website instead of reporting through the formal decision-making channels.

RESOLVED:  That

(1)          the report and the Key Performance Indicators for Q3 2024/25, set out in Annexes 1 and 2, be noted; and

(2)          the arrangements for reporting Q4 2024/25 Key Performance Indicators, as set out in paragraph 4.4 of the report, be approved.
