Members received a report which presented the latest projections for revenue and capital expenditure for the City Strategy portfolio area, together with details of the department’s performance against Best Value Performance Indicators, Customer First targets and Staff Management Targets.

The provisional outturn position for the portfolio showed an underspend of £63k for the financial year.  The main reason for the underspend was improved parking income offset by overspends within street lighting and shortfall on planning income.

Performance on key Best Value Indicators was improving, in particular in relation to planning.  Customer first targets were generally being achieved or exceeded, with problem areas remaining in Planning and Sustainability letter answering.
