(Report of the Chief Executive – To be introduced by the Leader): To report on an exception basis performance for the year 2009/2010 and to review 2009/10 performance outcomes and achievements under the Sustainable Community Strategy priorities including the Local Area Agreement).

(Report of the Chief Executive - Agenda Item 6)

We noted that the report set out on an exception basis performance information for the year 2009/2010 and reviewed 2009/10 performance outcomes and achievements under the Sustainable Community Strategy priorities including the Local Area Agreement.

We noted that progress had been made in many target areas. In particular it was pleasing to note improvements made around cleanliness and reductions in the amount of litter, detritus, graffiti and flyposting. 85% of our schools had achieved healthy school status and there had been a reduction in the number of 16-18 year olds Not in Education, Training or Employment. For the coming year there was still much work to do, particularly around Children’s Services.

We were advised that, in future, the performance data would be presented in a different format.

RESOLVED:

That the report and the progress being made against Council and Community Strategy priorities be noted.
