Issue - meetings

The Board received the Performance Monitoring Report for Quarter 1 of 2025/26.

The key priorities for development of improvement in 2025/26 were agreed by Members and included in Directorate Plans for the various function areas reported to the Board as detailed below: 

• Community Safety and Protection;
• Risk and Emergency Planning;
• Drug and Alcohol Action;
• Domestic Violence; and
• Housing. 

The reports detailed progress against service objectives and milestones, and performance targets and provided information relating to key developments and emerging issues that had arisen during the period.

It was noted that this was the first performance report to be received by the Board.  There would be some changes to Domestic Violence KPI’s going forward consideration would be given to include empty homes on future reports.

Concerns were raised that when looking at crime figures, the Police wards did not match up with Council wards.  It was agreed that this was a challenge and the Chair agreed to raise this at his next meeting with Police.  

RESOLVED:  That the quarter 1 performance management report be received and noted.
