The Cabinet considered a report of the Executive Director (Strategy and Change)

presenting the quarter two corporate performance report for the period 1st July to

31^st September 2024.

Resolved:

That the Corporate Performance Report as at 31^st September 2024, as set out in

appendix 1 to the submitted report, be noted.

Reasons for Decision:

1. The Corporate Performance Report informs decision making to ensure that the

Council’s priorities are on track to be achieved and aligns with the Financial

Performance Report to ensure that they are delivered within the approved budget

provision.

2. Improving efficiency and productivity is essential but the scale of the

unprecedented financial pressures will inevitably lead to a reduction in the range,

quality, cost and responsiveness of other discretionary Council services, as well

as challenging our approach to statutory services.

Other Options:

The Council could monitor its corporate performance against an alternative

timeframe, but it is considered that the current reporting schedule provides the

appropriate balance to allow strategic oversight of the budget by Councillors. More frequent monitoring is undertaken by officers and considered by individual service Directors and the Council’s Corporate Leadership Team (CLT) including the

implementation of any necessary remedial actions.
