Cabinet considered performance against the Council Plan targets, for the second quarter of the 2021-22 financial year.  Cabinet heard that nearly 30% of the Plan targets had now been achieved and that over half of them were on track to be achieved. The report to Cabinet explained that the number of targets affected by the Coronavirus Outbreak had continued to fall. It also explained that several targets might fail to reach their projected yearly outturn.

Cabinet noted that on Target ECO 04, the number of Council owned business premises occupied, had almost reached the target figure of 95%. The report recommended that it now be classed as achieved. Members also heard that on Targets ECO 09, ECO 16 and ECO 21, the Council had now adopted specific Employment and Skills, Tourism and Growth Strategies for the District. Cabinet was asked to agree that they too be marked as achieved.
