This report provides an update on progress made against the Key Priority Targets 2019/20 as at Quarter 2.

The Committee received a report providing an update on progress made against the Key Priority Targets 2019/20 as at Quarter 2.

The following matters were considered:

a)            Position as at end of September 2019. The Committee noted that as at the end of Quarter 2 (September 2019), 15 targets had been achieved, 22 were Green, 13 were Amber and 1 was Red.

The report detailed that there was no data for 2 targets, due to issues relating to the validity of data for graffiti on Council owned land. The Committee was informed that there was the potential for multiple reports of the same graffiti instances, and that as a result it was not possible to accurately analyse the data.

b)            Progress toward targets. Following a question from a Member, the Committee was informed that progress toward achievement of targets was broadly similar to the same period in previous years. Officers anticipated that the number of targets at Amber or Red status would increase as the year progressed, as this had occurred in previous years.

c)            Setting of target dates. The Committee noted that all targets were set a date for completion. These dates were not amended in-year, providing a static benchmark for performance monitoring.

Following consideration, it was resolved:

That the Committee:

(1)      Noted the status of all 56 Key Priority Targets as at the end of Quarter 2;

(2)      Considered the update on those targets assigned red and amber status.
