The Mayor introduced the quarterly strategic delivery and performance report. He highlighted that performance reporting was useful in encouraging the Council to look to continuously improve. There was a challenging backdrop to the Council’s performance, particularly in relation to the impact of Covid-19. However, the report highlighted many areas of good performance such as around safeguarding, customer services etc, as well as areas that required more work such as school attendance.

Finally, he noted that the report had been debated at Overview and Scrutiny Committee earlier in the week.

The Cabinet discussed the report and noted a number of points including around:

·       Good work on supporting small businesses during Covid-19.

·       The large keystart programme to get young people into work.

·       Strong action on violence against women and girls.

The Mayor proposed the recommendations as set out. These were agreed unanimously by the Members present and it was:
