The Executive Councillor for Resident Services and Corporate Performance, Councillor Hunt introduced the report.

The Cabinet noted key achievements relating to the One Leisure Huntingdon redevelopment, Active Lifestyles Programme, and the Community Health and Wealth Fund. Discussion took place regarding the small number of missed bins during June, and it was emphasised that the performance remained stronger than national benchmarking, despite the indicator being rated red. Reference was made to instances of challenging operating conditions, including periods of extreme heat and staff absences which had affected service delivery, however it was recognised that high standards were applied by the service. It was noted that targets were intentionally ambitious, and missed collections were generally rectified quickly where issues occurred.

The Cabinet commended the commitment and performance of staff across the Council.

Whereupon, it was

RESOLVED

that the Cabinet has considered and commented on progress and performance during Quarter 1, as summarised in the Corporate Performance Report attached and detailed in Appendices A, B & C.
