The Deputy Chief Executive submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) the portfolio priorities from October 2023 to March 2024. It included forecast performance and financial data (where this was available) for the portfolio, along with an update on the portfolio savings programme.

The following comments were made/ issues raised:-

·         The new system for personal development plans (PDPs) reflected low completion figures for PDPs. The new system had been co-designed with colleagues and was an intuitive system with an app which allowed staff to link to the training portal. It was anticipated that completion figures would improve in the coming year.

·         Members welcomed the council’s anti-poverty objectives as an important development and requested further information on the progress of that objective during the course of the municipal year.

(2) That the progress against delivering key projects, priority outcomes, targets and budgets for 2023/24 be noted.
