To submit a report by the Head of Profession, HR and Transformation.

It was resolved to note the areas which the Senior Leadership Team are managing to secure improvements into the future and to accept the mitigation measures as outlined in the report.

The report of the Head of Profession (HR) and Transformation incorporating the Corporate Scorecard for Quarter 3 2019/20 was presented for the Executive’s consideration.

The Chair reported that the Quarter 3 Corporate Scorecard portrays a positive picture of performance with most indicators ragged Green and only a few areas requiring attention at the end of the third quarter.

The Head of Profession (HR) and Transformation confirmed that the report overall is encouraging but is also clear about those specific areas that are not performing to target and the measures to be taken to improve their performance into Quarter 4. The points raised by Scrutiny with regard to underperforming areas have been noted and will be addressed going forwards.

Councillor Aled Morris Jones, Chair of the Corporate Scrutiny Committee reported from the Committee’s 9 March meeting where the Quarter 3 Corporate Scorecard was scrutinised and discussed. The Committee had acknowledged the improvements being made across many of the Council’s services whilst noting also that aspects of performance in Housing, Planning, Leisure and Adults’ Services were off-target. The Committee had further noted the areas which the Senior Leadership Team is managing to secure improvements into the future and it supported the mitigation measures introduced to improve performance in those areas which it recommended to the Executive. Councillor Aled Morris Jones said that he recognised that the Corporate Scorecard had now been overtaken by events and that actions to address and respond to the Covid-19 situation will necessarily take priority over the coming weeks.

The Chair thanked Scrutiny for the feedback and said that the Corporate Scorecard shows that the Council is in a strong position in terms of service performance thereby providing a solid foundation from which to respond to the current difficult situation.
