Quarterly Business Reports

The Quarterly Business Monitoring Report (QBR) summarises achievements and progress against the Councils Strategic Plan and current key Business Plans actions, measures, expenditure and income.

The Council reports performance information at the conclusion of each financial quarter. The information is challenged by the Senior Management Team and by the Overview & Scrutiny (Internal) Committee before being published on this page. In 2021 the content and format of the QBR was reviewed by Councillors and redesigned to improve accessibility/understanding and to ensure that performance reporting is aligned with the Strategic Plan. Each Quarterly Business Report includes:

Performance Highlights - A summary of key performance information.

Income and Budget Monitoring - Includes income and salary information; a summary of any significant budget underspends and overspends; the capital expenditure to date together with a note on useable capital receipts; a breakdown of the Earmarked Reserves of the Council highlighting the balances which have not been specifically committed; and a summary of treasury deposits..

Strategic Plan Performance Updates - Updates regarding the achievement of key performance indicators and progress made on the actions listed in the Strategic Plan under each of our four Strategic Themes: Local Economy; Communities, Health and Housing; Our Environment Our Future; Our Council.
