Decision details

The Chair introduced the report and reminded Committee that the Council Plan was approved in September and whilst the objectives within the Council Plan cannot be amended, the Key Performance Indicators can be amended, and a new performance monitoring report template is being produced.

Councillor Aldam asked a question on linking objectives together between Committees and for the plan to clearly list where KPI’s link across different Committees. The Chair confirmed that this could be investigated and advised that the new performance monitoring system will allow for better linked Committee working. Councillor Crews suggested wording to the objectives on how they impact the Councils carbon footprint. The Chair asked Councillor Aldam to send the cross-Committee objectives to the Chair and Strategic Director of Communities for further investigation.

The motion was proposed by Councillor Prenter and seconded by Councillor Aldam.

Councillor Aldam asked that socio-economic factors are acknowledged when talking about Anti-Social Behaviour and ensure the respective parts of the plan in supporting vulnerable individuals in the community are linked together. The Chair explained the performance monitors could look at these types of report back to Committee. 

Councillor Robinson asked if the revised performance monitoring template would include more detailed information on a few topics rather than information on all service areas. The Chair confirmed and explained it would allow Members to review in detail areas for concern. The Chair also advised that he’d like for a third Member to support Councillor Job and Prenter in reporting on performance monitoring and inform the Chair or Strategic Director of Communities of their interest.

On being put to the vote, the motion was passed unanimously.
