To receive a report from the Head of Communities and Governance providing the Committee with an update on performance against the Corporate Plan and local service targets for 2015/16 as well as providing an update on the key business risks.

The Group had before it, and NOTED, a report * from the Head of Communities and Governance providing it with an update on performance against the Corporate Plan and local service targets for 2015/16 as well as providing an update on the key business risks.

It was explained that the report was based on performance data from  the final quarter of 2015/16 and was also based on the old corporate priorities. Future reports would be based on the new corporate priorities. It was noted that the number of ‘empty homes being brought back into use’ and the number of ‘affordable homes delivered’ were below target. However, whilst targets in relation to these were set locally, the number of ‘affordable homes delivered’ were not entirely within the district council’s control. It was also noted how pleasing it was to see targets in relation to repairs being maintained and where they weren’t credible reasons had been provided in the management notes.

The Group wished to pass on their congratulations to the housing service for their continuing achievements against performance indicators.
