The Service Director Performance and Innovation, Marianne Hesketh, has submitted a report, the 2nd Quarter Performance Statement 2019/20, July – September 2019. (The report on the previous quarter, April - June 2019 has also been republished, for the committee’s information).

The Service Director Performance and Innovation, Marianne Hesketh submitted a report on the 2^nd Quarter Performance Statement for the period July to September 2019.

Comments were made by members of the Committee on:

-       The lower number of “measures” included in the Quarter 2 report than had been shown in the Quarter 1 report and the changes to some measures which, it was suggested, made an assessment of progress between quarters difficult.

-       The apparent inconsistency between the red and amber measures in the report and the green categorisation of progress on the project to which those measures referred.

-       Notwithstanding the explanatory comments in the covering report and the assurances given by both Chief Inspector Hardy and the Head of Environmental Health and Community Safety earlier in this meeting about the effectiveness of the Multi-Agency approach to anti-social behaviour, the measure relating to the number of cases going to the multi-agency ASB meetings was one which the Committee should continue to monitor closely.

The Chairman said that a report on the proposed update of the Business Plan for 2020/21 was due to be submitted to the next meeting of the Committee.

It was agreed that the report be noted and the Marianne Hesketh be asked to attend the next meeting of Committee, to explain more fully how the categorisation of the indicative “measures” included in the quarterly reports related to the overall progress on the “projects” listed in the Business Plan.
