The Committee considered the Council’s Performance Report for September 2021, which was presented by the Assistant Chief Executive.

The Council’s corporate performance report monitored delivery against the Covid-19 Recovery Strategy. The Committee was informed that 92% of actions within the recovery strategy were on track for completion within the specified period or had already been completed. 71% of updated targeted measures were also on track for completion. The Council Senior Management Team would continue to closely monitor all actions, risks and other measures introduced that supported the successful delivery of the Covid-19 Recovery Strategy which was a key priority for the Council. The Committee’s report provided Members with a breakdown by work area and themes and further details on exceptions were also included in the report. 

The report highlighted the following actions/measures that were coded red (unlikely to achieve a positive outcome in the specified timescale), for which portfolio holders and lead officers were requested to be accountable.

a.    Building more affordable homes

b.    Safeguarding and supporting the Borough’s most vulnerable residents

c.    Working with communities to improve health and wellbeing

d.    Helping those adversely affected by Covid-19

e.    Reducing poverty and helping people get back on their feet

In considering these ‘red coded’ areas of work, the Committee sought assurances from Officers that remedial action was in place to attempt to rectify the various problems that had been highlighted in the report.

Resolved:

That the report be noted.
