Reasons

In this annual report we show that the Council has made strong progress towards delivering its ambitions to improve the services delivered to residents and businesses. It also demonstrates the Council’s proactive performance management of issues raised and the inclusive role of Overview and Scrutiny in supporting performance review.

Section 3 of the report provides a summary of the Council’s performance against its comprehensive performance framework and corporate scorecard for 2016/17. The detailed performance indicators and commentary against each of these are contained within appendices 1 to 5 including the annual report.

With a 77% delivery rate against the key strategic priorities the report clearly demonstrates that the council is delivering services fit for purpose, and that together we are making a significant and positive difference to the District, our residents, businesses and other key stakeholders.

There can be no other recommendations to make, other than to commend everyone who has contributed to such excellent performance, of which we should all be proud.
