Please note that this was not a Key Decision and so can be implemented with immediate effect by officers

Cabinet considered performance against the Council Plan targets for the second quarter of the 2020-21 financial year. Members heard that projected progress had been made on 40% of the Plan targets during the quarter. They also heard how less progress than expected had been made against other targets, as a result of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak. Cabinet was informed that resources had to be diverted from them, so that the Council could provide support and assistance to the local community during the outbreak.

Members heard about what progress could now be expected on specific goals during future months. In this context, they were  reminded that resources for the Council’s Planning Service had recently been increased, which  would hopefully enable greater enforcement work to take place in line with the Council Plan target.
