The Corporate Performance Manager presented Members of the Performance and Administration Committee with an update against the Performance Management Framework, as set out within the council’s Corporate Plan 2015-19, for Quarter One 2016-17 (April to June 2016).

The Corporate Change Manager explained that new targets have been established for 2016-17 that, using data from 2015-16, are better profiled and will enable more accurate analysis and scrutiny.

The Director (Corporate Services) highlighted the following:

·         The new Council website will go live (soft launch) on 12 September 2016, the Digital Team will then see if there are any issues before the ‘hard launch’.

·         The Internal Audit and Fraud shared service has generated a saving of £66,000, the target was £58,000. This has therefore been delivered with increased budget savings and the performance has been maintained, if not improved.

The Committee commended and noted the new performance management framework system and the content of Appendix Two to the report.
