Key Performance Indicators 2023/2024 - Quarter 1 (1st April 2023 - 30th June 2023)

Officers introduced the report as circulated to Members and highlighted that it is a new presentation format as a response to member feedback. Officers said they would record any feedback and pass that on to the corporate performance team who came up with the new presentation format.

The Chair reminded members of the upcoming training session on the new format KPI’s and encouraged them to attend as it will help members interpret Key Performance Indicators better.

Members commented that they thought the new format was clearer and better and shows longer term trends and direction of travel. Members also felt it would be useful to have a line on graphs that indicates what the target is as a visual aid.

Members were advised that fly tipping historically has fluctuated and during lockdown fly tipping increased. The legal process for fly tipping was suspended for a period which prevented interviews as part of the enforcement process. With enforcement having now returned, fly tipping has dropped back down.

Members asked if complaints of mess left over from waste collections are logged. Officers advised that customer services system captures everything.

Members were concerned that raising the issues through the call centre or online causes a delay in issues being rectified and wanted to check if the in-cab system will get the updates from notifying via customer services.

Officers confirmed that once the in-cab system is in place it will. The service first system is also being reviewed to put in improvements, as  ...  view the full minutes text for item 4
