Issue - meetings

(To receive a report from the Executive Director – Commercial, which presents an overview of performance for quarter 4 (January – March 2021) against the Corporate Plan)

That the Executive:

1.    Notes the Quarter 4 performance for 2020/21.

2.    Approves the proposal to defer reporting of 2021/2022 Quarter 1 performance and to report Quarters 1 and 2 together in December as set out in the report.

An overview of the performance for Quarter 4 (January – March 2021) against the Corporate Plan was introduced by the Performance and Equalities Manager who advised that Covid-19 was continuing to have an impact, with 66% of the 53 activities with milestones due to be reported in Quarter 4 either On plan or Ahead of plan. 

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 requested further information in relation to the life expectancy for Lincolnshire residents.  The reduction in people Killed or Seriously Injured on Lincolnshire's roads was also noted, and recognised that this was likely to be due to the fact that people were making fewer journeys due to the Covid-19 restrictions which were in force during this time.  It was highlighted that a number of issues had been highlighted which would be reported back to the Board.

Clarification was provided in relation to frequency of road surveys, and it was noted that the level of funding the authority received for highways was influenced by the Asset Management Plan.  The Highways Team was also increasing the use of different technologies to monitor the condition of Lincolnshire's roads.

2.    Approves the proposal to defer reporting of 2021/2022 Quarter 1 performance and to report Quarters 1 and 2 together in December as set out in the report.
