To review performance for 2019/20 and the budget outturn.

The 2019/20 outturn is a £569k underspend as at the end of March 2020.

The proportion of performance measures showing an improvement, or remaining the same

compared to the same period last year is 71%; this is an improvement on the same period last year. At the end of the year, 52% of actions from the delivery plan are identified as complete or had progressed within planned timescales.

(a) Cabinet reviewed  performance and financial outturn for 2019/20, as set out in appendices A, B, D, E, F and G, and did not identify any additional actions to be considered to achieve future improvement; and

(b) The treasury management outturn report at appendix C be recommended to Council for approval.

Cabinet may choose to review financial and operational performance more or less

frequently; or request alternative actions to address any identified areas of underperformance, including referral to the relevant scrutiny committee.
