To enable the Committee to consider the Performance Report for the first quarter 2018.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Committee had before it a report of the Deputy Chief Executive (A.1) which sought to present the performance report 2018/19 (community leadership) for the period April – June 2018 (Quarter 1).

 

The Committee were made aware that the Performance Report sets out the detailed actions and targets for the delivery of the Council’s priorities for the coming year that relate to our partnership and influencing work. The Report includes both the Corporate Plan and Priorities and Projects 2018/19. The indicators and projects highlighted in the report are deemed ‘non measurable’ as Tendring’s role is that of influence only.

 

The committee were also aware that this report will be presented to members of Cabinet on the 14th September 2018.

 

Councillor Griffiths raised a concern with regards to the ‘Protecting vulnerable people from hidden harms’ section. Specifically, Councillor Griffiths raised concerns with the fact Tendring Council have met with Noo Yu Boxing – a programme for young people involved in gangs and high level ASB, believing that engaging young people in boxing would cause more problems rather than solve them. The Head of Leadership Support and Community undertook to try to ascertain some statistics to support the role of this programme.

 

Councillor Henderson also raised concerns with the fact that all current positions are currently marked as ‘on-going’, many could be providing more information on where we currently stand. The Head of Leadership Support and Community undertook to review this before the next performance report is produced.
