Cabinet considered a report setting out the council's performance in the four key areas of: customer, projects, finance, and people. Progress against targets is shown by directorate, including a summary of what is going well, what needs to develop, and what requires attention.

Councillor Fooks, Deputy Leader of the Opposition commented that there was some good news reported. She hoped that the temporary resources for climate change adaptation could be made permanent. She suggested that the presentation of the figures be reviewed as the annual information gave a misleading picture. She highlighted the areas of concern that included safeguarding and child protection plans. The Chief Executive replied that this would be the last report in the current format and the new format picked up the annual targets issue. She reassured Members that safeguarding was receiving appropriate attention.

RESOLVED:             to note the report.
