Lead Member – Councillor Rob Macey – Portfolio Holder for Culture and Digital

Report of James Walton – Executive Director of Resources

RESOLVED:

That Cabinet:

1.     Reviewed and considered performance dashboard information alongside this exception report

2.     Noted progress to date in achieving the outcomes of The Shropshire Plan (TSP) and commented as appropriate.

The Portfolio Holder for Culture and Digital introduced the report which was written as an exception report with all key performance indicators being provided in the dashboard. Members noted that the Q3 report is not fully complete with all the agreed performance indicators due to the time taken to implement the new approach, obtain data and the focus on getting it right. Work will continue to move towards a complete PMF set of indicators and progress will be reported at Q4. At least 4 of the remaining 8 indicators will be reported in Q4.

Members were reminded that this report was discussed at the Transformation and Improvement Overview and Scrutiny Committee, where two new KPIs had been requested following the discussions around demand pressures.

Members thanked officers for the updating of the dashboards, which made the data much clearer.

Reassurance was sought with regards to the timescale for upgrading streetlighting.

Concern was raised regarding the number of children who are waiting in excess of five months to receive an Education Health Care Plan as it was felt that early intervention could reduce costs. It was confirmed that the Council were not the sole contributor to the production of EHCPs.
