HAMBLETON DISTRICT COUNCIL Report To: Scrutiny 26 February 2015 From: Director of Support Services and Deputy Chief Executive Subject: COUNCIL PERFORMANCE 2014/15 (QUARTER 3)
All Wards 1.0 PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND: 1.1 The Council Plan which sets out the direction for the Council until May 2015 was updated at
Cabinet in September 2014 as a result of the Council restructure and the changing needs of the community. The Plan shows the Council’s goals and gives measurable outcomes in the form of the newly devised Council Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The Council’s approach to performance management is designed to ensure that priorities are effectively implemented, monitored and managed to achieve real improvements in the quality of life in the local community.
1.2 The Council Plan for 2015-2019 is currently being reviewed and will be discussed with
Members following the Council’s elections in May 2015. The Council Plan will be approved at Cabinet in November of 2015 and will focus on the future direction of the Council for the next four years. Key performance indicators which are being developed are a few high level strategic indicators which can be controlled and influenced directly by the Council. The current revised Council Plan will continue to ensure that Council priorities are effectively implemented and performance will be reported on a quarterly basis against this current 2015 plan, until the new plan is approved in November 2015.
1.3 The Council’s performance and strategic risks are reported quarterly to the Management Team and this Scrutiny Committee. The public has access to performance information through these quarterly performance reports. This report provides details on progress against the Council’s priorities and information on actions to address under performance at Quarter 3.
2.0 LINK TO COUNCIL PRIORITIES: 2.2 An overview of performance against each Council Priority is attached at Annex ‘A’. 2.3 In summary, performance at Quarter 3, and the Council Plan priorities were 88% on target
and 12% fell below the target. 2.4 The indicators not meeting performance in the third quarter are:-
2.2.1 In Customer Services 21,264 calls (35.7%) were taken at Quarter 3 against a target of 50% where the indicator was to increase the resolution of enquiries at the first point of contact. Work is on-going to increase first point resolution by the use of improved technology and task analysis to expand the number of services provided through the Contact Centre. Service areas are being reviewed on a phased basis through transactional analysis. The top 10 transaction which the Council undertakes have been identified (e.g. reporting of a missed bin) then by walking through the internal processes and performing transactions, improvement to these services are identified. This has resulted in updating the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) e-forms software itself and then redeveloping the forms and background processes in use across the Council; workshops have been undertaken in Waste & Streetscene, Leisure and Planning to date.
2.2.2 In addition, the customer perspective side of the service is being reviewed, this commenced with a series of Customer Care Workshops for staff across the Council (those with both external and internal customers); however this will take some time to show results in the analysis above. The Customer Excellence Project includes elements such as website, CRM, processes, e-forms and customer service training and culture; work in all areas is progressing. The Council upheld 86.40% of complaints that lead to service improvements against a target of 94%. The total number of complaints at 862 is very low compared to the overall volumes of enquiries – Face to Face 38,842 and Telephone – 60,363. Also, 91 compliments were logged in the corporate database maintained by Customer Services.
2.2.3 Undertake a fundamental review of all 15 HDC Services and report progress – the
service review projects are ongoing and progress is linked with the drive for Customer Excellence and the progression of the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, as detailed in the paragraphs above.
2.2.4 Four Council owned assets will be transferred to local communities by April 2015.
Work on the Asset Management Plan continues and opportunities are being addressed to ensure that the council’s asset base is being utilised to the maximum for the community. Assets are being used to generate income, disposed of to gain capital receipts, being transferred to the community where prospects arise and are being utilised to best effect.
2.2.5 The Total Number of Affordable Homes to be delivered in 2014/15 is 170; the
estimated total year to date of 162 is slightly below target but there are plans in place to deliver the target by March 2015.
2.2.6 To support local economic growth, the planning applications for employment land is
reviewed and at Quarter 3, applications remain low with 3.9 hectares of additional employment land being approved against a target of 12 hectares. The Council continues to encourage economic growth within the District and discussions with developers occurs on an ongoing basis.
3.0 CONCLUSIONS: 3.1 Performance against the revised Council Plan key priorities are being managed and action
plans have been developed to address areas of weaker performance to assist the Council to progress to meet the priorities through the remainder of 2014/15.
4.0 RECOMMENDATION: 4.1 It is recommended that the Scrutiny Committee recommends to Cabinet that the current
Council Plan 2011-2015 remains as the Council’s priorities until the 2015-19 Plan is approved by Cabinet in November 2015.
4.2 It is recommended that the Scrutiny Committee considers the progress made against the
Council Plan as detailed in Annex ‘A’. JUSTIN IVES Background papers: Updated Council Business Plan 2014/15
