This is the performance monitoring report for Quarter Two 25-26, presenting an update on the progress measures. 

The council’s delivery against its priorities and ambitions can also be monitored through the performance dashboardwhich is available on the council’s website providing up-to-date real time information on the progress measures.

(c)           noted the positive activities highlighted in the report; and

Voting: Unanimous

Reason

Our shared vision for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole sets out the priorities and ambitions against which the council’s performance will be judged, and as such is a vital component of the council’s performance management framework.

An understanding of performance against targets, goals and objectives helps the council to assess and manage service delivery and identify emerging business risks.

The Leader of the Council presented a report, a copy of which had been circulated to each Member and a copy of which appears as Appendix 'C' to these Minutes in the Minute Book.

Cabinet was advised that BCP Council had adopted ‘A shared vision for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole 2024-28’ in May 2024, and that the shared vision was the corporate strategy which sets out the council’s vision, priorities and ambitions as well as the principles which underpin the way the council works as it develops and delivers its services. 

Cabinet was informed that incorporated in the vision was a set of measures of progress for achieving the vision, priorities and ambitions, and that this report was the performance monitoring report for Quarter Two 25-26, presenting an update on the progress measures. 

In relation to this Cabinet was advised that the council’s delivery against its priorities and ambitions can also be monitored through the performance dashboard which is available on the council’s website providing up-to-date real time information on the progress measures.

In introducing the report the Leader of the Council proposed that an additional recommendation be included at (d) to read: ‘note the performance exception reports relating to areas of underperformance and tasked corporate directors to take action to improve performance.’

This amendment was supported by the seconder of the report and therefore become the substantive recommendations for consideration.
