There were no declarations of interest.

Members of the Commercial Services Cabinet Committee with presented with an update against the Performance Management Framework, as introduced within the Councils Corporate Plan, for Quarter Three 2020-21 (October to December 2020).

The Assistant Director (Corporate Services) informed Members that PI 45 and PI 46 were annual performance indicators, and an update would be given on their performance through the quarter four report. With regards to PI47 ‘total amount secured through contractual social value’, the figure had decreased from quarter three during 2019-20. This was partly due to the money contributed to the fireworks display in 2018-19 being rolled forward to 2019-20 as the fireworks display was cancelled due to a whale living in a part of the River Thames near Gravesham. As a result, the performance indicator had returned to its normal contribution rate during 2020-21. 

The Chair thanked the Assistant Director (Corporate Services) for the comprehensive report. 

To move, if required, that pursuant to Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972 that the public be excluded from any items included in Part B of the agenda because it is likely in view of the nature of the business to be transacted that if members of the public are present during those items, there would be disclosure to them.
