Report No. 133/2018 was received from the Chief Executive.

Mr O Hemsley, Leader of the Council, introduced the report, the purpose of which was to provide a background to the creation of the 2017/18 Rutland County Council Annual Report and information on how it would be used and distributed to highlight the impact the Council is making.

During discussion the following points were raised:

1. Cabinet commented that the report provided performance data in a logical, easy to understand format and highlighted the many areas where the Council is performing well;
2. The report was available online and a small number of printed copies would be distributed to partner organisations and would be available at the Councils Customer Services and Libraries.  Should Parishes wish to make hard copies available for those who were not able to access electronic copies, these could be provided at the Parishes cost.

DECISIONS

1)     Cabinet considered the 2017/18 Annual Report (Appendix 1 of Report No. 133/2018) and provided feedback;

2)     Cabinet RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL the APPROVAL of the Annual Report (Appendix 1 of Report No. 133/2018).

Reason for Decision

To provide feedback and approve the trial of this alternative style of communicating performance data.
