(To receive a report from the Executive Director – Commercial which presents an overview of performance for Quarter 2 (June to September 2020) against the Corporate Plan)

That the Quarter 2 performance for 2020/21 be noted.

An overview of the performance for quarter 2 (June – September 2020) against the Corporate Plan was introduced by the Executive Director – Commercial.  The Performance and Equalities Manager advised that of the 19 activities with milestones due to be reported in Q2, 89% were either On Plan or Ahead of Plan.  Of the two activities which were behind plan, both had been impacted by Covid-19.

The Chairman of the Overview and Scrutiny Management Board confirmed that the Board had recorded its support for the recommendations to the Executive.  The Board had acknowledged that the SHERMAN initiative was behind plan as it relied on Fire and Rescue staff going into people's homes, and this had been hindered due to Covid-19 restrictions.  However, it queried whether there was an opportunity for checks to be carried out when entering someone's home for other reasons.

In relation to the Create Thriving Environments measures, it was suggested that it would be helpful if planned milestones could be included in future reports to inform members of the next steps for achieving the objectives. 

RESOLVED

That the Quarter 2 performance for 2020/21 be noted.
