The Cabinet considered a report of the Executive Director (Transformation) concerning the second period of the Southend 2050 Outcome Success Measures for 2021/22, covering 1 July – 31 December 2021.

Resolved:

That the Period 2 performance covering 1 July to 31 December 2021, be noted.

Reasons for Decision:

To drive the delivery of the Southend 2050 ambition through robust and strategic performance management arrangements and to ensure the Council is clear on prioritised milestones to achieve the desired outcomes, focusing on response to the pandemic, economic recovery, and sustainability – including financial, environmental and our transformation as an organisation.

Other options:

The Council could choose not to review its current ambition and desired outcomes. This would mean failing to set out the huge impact the crises have had on the Borough, its people and the Council and the Council’s approach to recovery. The Council has committed to undertake an annual review of the outcomes and milestones.

Note: This is an Executive Function
