(Report of the Chief Executive – Agenda Item 7):
We noted that overall, targets were achieved or close to being achieved for 88% of indicators and performance has been maintained or improved from the previous year. We noted that page 2 of the interleaved report listed the improved performance for the following areas :
· Pupils attaining 5 or more GCSEs at Grades A*-C
· Absence in both primary and secondary schools
· Young People Not in Education, Employment and Training (NEETs)
· Looked after children obtaining 1 GCSE at grade A-G
· Increasing the number of adoptions
· Road casualties (trend & 3 year average)
· Street cleanliness
· Satisfaction with recycling facilities
· School travel plans
· Waiting times for assessment and packages of care
· Adults and Older people receiving statement of needs, direct payments and equipment delivered in 7 days
· Complaints handling
· Keeping Haringey residents informed
· Involving residents in decision making
· Being efficient and well run
· Offering value for money
These results demonstrated that the Borough is continuing to make progress and move in the right direction.
In the next three years the Council would need to consolidate performance in improving areas. The Council would also be working with partners across the HSP partnership to deliver on the priorities identified in our new Local Area Agreement.
We were further advised that since the report had been distributed that now 100% of borough schools had completed travel plans. This was recognised as a significant achievement by the Cabinet and congratulations were provided to: Schools, Urban Environment, and leisure for their efforts in achieving this.
RESOLVED:
That the performance information presented in the interleaved report and progress against Council priorities be noted.
