Agenda item

The report, which provided Members with a set of performance monitoring information for review and approval for the third year of the 2019-2024 Corporate Strategy, was presented by the Head of Information and Performance Management.

Members discussed the report and the following points were raised which required further consideration by Officers:

·         KPI 2b- That the final sentence in the Issues Arising column be removed.

·         With regards to Birds of Prey, that given the loss of two Hen Harriers and an emerging trend of egg theft, the Birds of Prey initiative will be reviewed to see what other steps can be taken.

·         That Managers and Members need to ensure that they show their appreciation to staff who have worked very hard during the pandemic and maintained their professionalism.

·         That delays in determining planning applications came with a reputational risk and so it was important that this was closely monitored.

Cllr Chapman left the meeting at 12.00.
