Issue - meetings

Waverley’s Performance Management Framework (PMF) contains a number of indicators that assist Members and officers in identifying current improvement priorities and progress against targets.

The indicators in Waverley’s PMF are reviewed quarterly by the Executive.  This report details performance, at Annexe 1, for the three-month period 1 July – 30 September 2014.

The Overview and Scrutiny Committees and their respective sub-committees have considered the full list of indicators. Their comments on the indicators in this report and their recommendations are included in the report.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the Executive:

1.         notes the performance figures for Quarter 2 2014/15 (July - September 2014) as set out at Annexe 1;

2.         thanks the Overview & Scrutiny Committees for their observations regarding the Quarter 2 performance and considers their recommendations, as follows:-

a.         for indicator NI 195 – levels of litter, detritus, graffiti and fly-posting, the target should be increased to 90%;

b.         for indicator LPL 3b – percentage of enforcement cases actioned within 12 weeks of receipt, the target should be increased to 80%; and

c.         for indicator LI8 – average annual rate of return on Council Investments above market rates, the target be revised in the 2015/16 Treasury Management Strategy to reflect performance against currently achievable levels of interest available on the market.
