During discussion of this item it was agreed under Council Procedure Rule 12.1 (m) to extend the meeting as set out in Rule 9.1 for up to half an hour to conclude the business on the agenda.

The Mayor introduced the latest report setting out the Council’s quarterly performance monitoring information. He highlighted that the pandemic had caused unexpected difficulties to the authority and, as a result, priorities had to change and not all areas originally identified for monitoring were currently performing in the same way as planned.

However, the report did still demonstrate improvements in a number of areas and also highlighted areas of concern and it was still important to investigate any problems identified.

The Mayor noted the Pre-Decision Scrutiny Questions and officer responses and proposed the recommendations
