To receive the quarter 1 Performance Dashboard from the Corporate Performance and Improvement Manager.

The Group were presented with, and NOTED, summary information * reflecting performance in the Economy & Assets areas for quarter 1 2024/2025.

The following was highlighted on the Performance Dashboard:

·       The Dashboards were intended to provide an ‘at a glance’ representation of performance in the Economy & Assets area.

·       The Dashboards allowed Members to easily see whether service areas were ‘on track’ and the use of pie charts and RAG (Red/Amber/Green) ratings were used to facilitate this.

·       There were three corporate risks in relation to this Policy Development Group (PDG).

·       Reference was made to the recent funding announcement regarding the Cullompton Relief Road, this would be monitored going forwards. Further reference was made to the amber rating in relation to capital slippage on the percentage of projects.

The Chair stated that the Dashboard showed an overall positive position for the areas falling under the remit of this Group.

Note: * Dashboards previously circulated.

To receive the quarter 1 Performance Dashboard from the Corporate Performance and Improvement Manager.

The Group were presented with, and NOTED, two slides showing performance information in the housing area both under the General Fund and the Housing Revenue Account.

The following was highlighted:

·         The performance rating for MDH net-zero Modern Methods of Construction homes was red. This related to the nature of housing delivery in that it was not smooth across the year. Net zero properties would be added to the portfolio shortly. There were just two complaints not responded to within the relevant timescales, and justification for these was provided.

·         The HRA development programme being a live and evolving plan.

Discussion took place with regard to:

·         A significant number of families on the Devon Home Choice waiting list (Bands A-C) had been housed in quarter 1. This was a remarkable achievement.

·         Annual figures were shown in relation to Capital Outturn, a full review would be undertaken of the development programme in the next quarter.
