Outcome:

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: Yes

Date of Decision: December 9, 2025

Purpose: To Note the Q2 Performance Report

Content: It was RESOLVED: -   1.1       That Cabinet noted the performance for Q2 for 25-26, including the key performance indicators that were shown as red in the status and commentary around these.   REASON FOR DECISION To ensure an overview of Council performance and areas of focus where performance is not where it was expected to be, and mitigation measures to address any KPIs below agreed targets.   Alternative Options Considered and Rejected: Option 1: No reporting on council performance – not pursued as good governance required a regular review of performance against council objectives and statutory duties.   Option 2: Reporting on statutory performance requirements only – not pursued as performance is wider than just the Council’s statutory duties, it also entailed the priorities identified in the Mid Suffolk Plan.   Option 4: Reporting on Key Performance Indicators and progress on the Council’s agreed strategies, connected to actions identified from risk mitigation – not pursued at present, but as shown in the report performance reporting is under development and would change moving forward into future quarters.   Any Declarations of Interests Declared: None Any Dispensation Granted: None
