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.

QBR 2 2024 - 25 (PDF, 1 MB)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.
