Councillor Huelin addressed Members informing them the Corporate Priority Activity Plan for 2016/17 outlined the focus areas for service delivery during year. The plan was supported by the Corporate Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Framework which detailed the statistical evidence the council used to monitor the progress and performance against those priority activities.

The Portfolio Holder for Performance and Central Services stated the council was 55% on target compared to 44% of KPIs passing last year. She continued by mentioning, due to the bad weather towards the end of last year, it was difficult to keep on top of potholes across the borough, however this was out of the council’s control.

Councillor Tolson mentioned that grass verges had been cut and officers had issued 1,000 fixed penalty notices. She further stated that she was awaiting the figures for the number of people the council would be taking to court for refusing to pay the fines.

Councillor Gledhill commented he was pleased to see Clean it, Cut it, Fill it, was meeting its targets and it only took to pothole to be missed to not achieve 100%.

RESOLVED:

1.         To note and comment upon the performance of the key corporate performance indicators in particular those areas which are IN FOCUS
