Service Performance Report 2023-24 Quarter Two
14/12/2023 - Service Performance Report 2023-24 Quarter Two
Councillor Andy Graham, Leader of the Council, introduced the report, which provided details of the Council’s operational performance at the end of 2023-24 Quarter Two (Q2).
The Leader also gave an overview of the Council’s Priority Report, detailed within the main report, which provided updates on a number of projects that the Council are engaged with across the district, along with targets surrounding missed waste collections and approval of applications for development.
In debate, Members stated they were in favour of the newer format that the report was presented in, although it was also highlighted that some of the printing of the performance data could be of larger print in future. Members also thanked the contributions made to the reporting process by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
At the invitation of the Leader, non-Executive Members queried what work the Council was undertaking regarding the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) embedded within work connected to the emerging Local Plan. It was later highlighted that CIL would be discussed at the next meeting of the Local Plan Cross-Party Member Working Group, and that the Chief Executive would also consult with the Council’s Planning Policy Manager regarding the work. Non-Executive Members also highlighted a lack of experience within training of waste collection teams, owing to staff who had recently retired.
Councillor Andy Graham proposed that the Executive agree to the recommendation as listed on the report. This was seconded by Councillor Duncan Enright, was put to a vote, and was agreed unanimously by the Executive.
The Executive Resolved to:
1. Note the 2023/24 Q2 service performance report.
