To present the Performance Reports (2018/19) for the period April – June 2018 (Quarter 1).

RESOLVED that the contents of the Performance Reports for the period April - June 2018 (Quarter 1) be noted.

The Cabinet gave consideration to a report of the Finance and Corporate Resources Portfolio Holder (A.2) which presented the Performance Reports (2018/19) for the period April – June 2018 (Quarter 1). The Performance Reports set out the detailed actions and targets for the delivery of the Council’s priorities throughout the year and included both the Corporate Plan and Priorities and Projects 2018/19.

It was reported that, of the 18 indicators and projects where performance had been measured, the first quarter’s position demonstrated that 14 (78%) were on, or above, their expected target and 4 (22%) were not currently in line with the expected performance. The indicators and projects highlighted in the Community Leadership report were deemed ‘non measurable’ as Tendring District Council’s role was that of influence only.

Cabinet was reminded that the respective performance reports had been presented to the Community Leadership Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 3 September 2018 and would be presented to the Resources and Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 17 September 2018.

Members were made aware that, in respect of the “Transforming Tendring” project statutory consents had been obtained, at the end of June 2018, in respect of work at Pier Avenue and Barnes House. Work had started on the internal refurbishment of the Council Tax Building on 25 June 2018 with staff moved to the first floor and a temporary reception created at the Town Hall.

Work on customer service portal and on printing and postal initiatives had continues generally on schedule although a minor technical issue within the printing element had caused some delay. Work on the back scanning of old records had been completed at the Pier Avenue sites and had moved on to the Town Hall and Weeley offices. Throughout the Council staff had been encouraged to consider work processes and the streamlining of paperwork and archiving in preparation for the new working methods.

It was further reported that IT consultants were continuing to develop designs for a replacement network and Direct Access was replacing Citrix on a phased team by team basis. Meanwhile the Human Resources team were developing training programmes and preparing for the updating of internal procedures in order to support flexible working.
