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.
