Cabinet considered the report of the Cabinet Member for Performance and Resources that informed Members of the Council’s performance against key measures in Quarter 3 of 2022/23.

The Cabinet Member for Performance and Resources underlined some of the improving and declining trends.  She noted that the report had been considered by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee (27 February 2023 Minute 104).

The Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure pointed to the rate of increase in Museum of Gloucester/Tourist Information Centre footfall (Appendix 1 CD & VE-1).  He commented that this reflected the shift towards people accessing tourist information online and drew Members’ attention to the increase in visitors to visitgloucester.co.uk (Appendix 1 TM-6).  The Cabinet Member for Planning and Housing Strategy placed the increase in homelessness preventions (Appendix H-4) within the context of the vital work done by the Housing Team to help residents.  She took the opportunity to encourage people finding difficulty with their rent to contact the team so that they can find ways to assist.

RESOLVED that the Quarter 3 Performance Report 2022/23 at Appendix 1 of the report is noted.
