To receive a report presenting the Council’s progress against the Corporate Plan Actions and Corporate Performance Indicators during Quarter 3 (October to December 2025).

The Cabinet has considered and commented on progress and performance during Quarter 3, as summarised in the Corporate Performance Report attached and detailed in Appendices A,B,C and D.

A report by the Performance Coordinator and Business Performance and Insights Team Leader was submitted (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Book) presenting the Council’s progress against the Corporate Plan Actions and Corporate Performance Indicators during Quarter 3 (October to December 2025).

The Executive Councillor for Resident Services and Corporate Performance, Councillor Ferguson introduced the report. Reference was made to the fact that three quarters of the Corporate Plan actions were on track, with none behind schedule which reflected how seriously delivery was taken and how hard officers had worked. He reflected on the record number of affordable homes delivered and praised the high-level performance of the Waste Service which had been recognised nationally at the APSE Performance Network Awards. There had been real progress made in terms of the Disability Facilities Grant Programme which helped support some of the most vulnerable people in the community, as well as improvements in the Active Lifestyles Programme and in the Planning Service. The progress made reflected well on the whole Council, and he had felt supported by the work of the Overview & Scrutiny Panel (Performance & Growth) which had set challenging targets and kept Cabinet accountable.

The Cabinet reflected on the record level of affordable housing delivery, leaving a legacy for the next administration, and echoed thanks to Officers who had worked hard on its behalf.

Whereupon it was
