Content: It was RESOLVED: -   1.1          To note the performance for Q3 for 25-26, including the key performance indicators that are shown as red in the status and commentary around these.   REASON FOR DECISION To ensure overview of Council performance and areas of focus where performance is not where it is 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 requires 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 entails 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 below performance reporting is under development and will change moving forward into future quarters.
