1. Summary

1.1 This report reviews the corporate performance of the organisation as at 30 September 2007, on the basis of the first half year's performance monitoring and from reviewing departmental performance monitoring reports.

1.2 The following decisions were made:

(a) That Cabinet agree that the 2007/08 half year corporate performance report and results will be used to inform the continuing development of the Corporate Business Plan.

(b) That strong progress made during the half year and the work by staff to achieve improved results is recognised and that any areas of risk are noted or action taken, as appropriate.


(c) That Cabinet support the development of options, in conjunction with the County Council's partners, to secure the continuance of the 101 non-emergency telephone number service following the withdrawal of Government funding from February 2008.

2. Reason

2.1. Executive Members and/or Cabinet continually receive more detailed reports on the individual performance areas mentioned in this report. For example, the results summarised here are consistent with the statements made in this year's Corporate Assessment self-assessment. The value of this report is to bring together for consideration and discussion an overview `snapshot' of the work of the organisation. It should be noted that the report provides a cross-cutting view of corporate performance and is not intended to reflect everything that the Council does.

3. Other Options Considered and Rejected - Not applicable.

4. Conflicts of Interest Declared by the Decision Maker or Other Executive
Member Consulted - None.

5. Dispensation granted by the Standards Committee - None.

6. Reason(s) for the Matter being dealt with if Urgent - None.
