This report provides an update against our Key Priority Performance Targets for 2017 to 2018, under our new Corporate Plan.

The Committee:

(1)          Considered the performance reported in Annexe 1 to the report and did not identify any areas of concern;

(2)          Noted the actions which had been proposed or taken where performance was currently a concern as set out in paragraph 3.1 of the report.

A report was presented to Committee that provided an update against its Key Performance Targets for 2017/18 under the Corporate Plan.

The report highlighted that the following targets were “off track or unlikely to be achieved for projected year” and the actions identified to achieve them:

·                     To support the Business Partnership to develop a proposal for a Business Improvement District (BID) with the intention of holding a ballot

·                     To agree and implement a scheme for the allocation of the neighbourhood portion of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) (15%)

In respect of the BID this was the subject of a separate report on the Agenda but it was confirmed that it was hoped that a ballot would still take place in November.  It was acknowledged, however, that whilst there was the will to make this happen, the timetable was extremely tight and a cause for concern.

It was queried whether the target of developing a business case for a business hub and reporting to this Committee on 28 November (currently at Amber) would be hit. It was confirmed the case to establish the availability of funding was not strong enough and so had not been submitted to the Local Enterprise Partnership.

The Committee:

(1)          Considered the performance reported in Annexe 1 to the report and did not identify any areas of concern;

(2)          Noted the actions which had been proposed or taken where performance was currently a concern as set out in paragraph 3.1 of the report.
