The Committee considered a report from the Director of Finance and Head of Insight and Corporate Programmes which summarised the Council’s Performance, Risk and Finance monitoring position at the end of March 2021.

In presenting the report the Performance Team Leader focused on the performance elements of the report.

41 business plan measures were monitored during the year, and 28 were reporting as green at the year end in March. The indicators reporting red were mainly due to the impact of covid-19, including usage of district leisure centres and homes improved through enforcement action.

Regarding performance highlights, the Performance Team Leader explained that 1545 planning applications had been processed whilst officers worked at home, and 5.4 million bins had been emptied with an additional 7,067 tonnes of waste collected.

In response to questions from the Committee, the Performance Team Leader explained that the additional waste collected had been as a result of more houses in the district, and people spending more time at home due to the pandemic.
