(Report No.178)

(8.40 – 8.45pm)

Councillor Achilleas Georgiou (Deputy Leader) introduced the report of the Chief Executive (No.178) detailing the latest available performance date at the end of the third quarter of 2012/13.

NOTED

1.         the progress made towards delivering the identified key priority indicators for Enfield;

2.         that of the 75 performance indicators being reported, 46 (62.2%) were at green; 19 (18.9%) were at amber; and 14 (18.9%) were at red;

3.         Members’ attention was drawn to a number of the individual performance indicators and it was noted that each Cabinet Member had a responsibility for indicators within their own service areas. Indicators highlighted included those relating to housing and homelessness; educational attainment; and, waste, recycling and cleanliness. Good progress had been made on a number of the indicators but it was recognised that there was still work to do to continue to improve performance levels;

4.         in relation to the indicators relating to Educational Attainment, Councillor Ayfer Orhan requested that in future the explanatory notes include details of any mitigating circumstances which could affect the performance levels such as changes in Government policy.

Alternative Options Considered: Not to report regularly on the Council’s performance. This would make it difficult to assess progress made on achieving the Council’s main priorities and to demonstrate the value for money being provided by Council services.

Reason: To update Cabinet on the progress made against all key priority performance indicators for the Council.
