The Lead Member for Resources and the Deputy Leader of the Council, Councillor McLennan introduced the report, which outlined the Council’s performance against key indicators for Q2 of 2020/21.

RESOLVED that Cabinet:

(1)      note the performance information contained in the report.

(2)     note the challenge process along with current and future strategic risks associated with the information provided and approve actions being undertaken on strategic risks, as appropriate.
