Decision

Decision:
 
For the reasons set out in
the report and its appendices Cabinet RESOLVED to Agree:
 
i) 
The progress as at Q2 (2023/2024) in the
delivery of the Building a Fairer Newham Strategy and the Corporate
Delivery Plan and aligned Building a Fairer Newham Key Performance
Indicators as set out in this report.
 
ii) 
Changes in the annual performance on
outcomes measures collected via the Residents Survey 2023, with the
most notable shifts relating to economic outcomes. We attribute
these changes to a combination of key external factors such as the
current challenges posed by inflation, the housing crisis, and the
overall cost of living significantly impacting resident and
community perceptions.
 
Alternatives
Considered
 
a) 
The alternative to not publishing current
information would be a continuing lack of transparency about the
Council’s performance. That would undermine the ability of
members and residents to understand how well the organisation is
performing, and whether resources are being used
effectively.
