Agenda item

Councillor Green returned to the Chamber.

The Corporate Plan 2024-27: Key Performance Indicators Report - Mid-Year (Q2) 2025/26 report was introduced by the Cabinet Member for Corporate Governance & Licensing.

This report was the third of the reporting cycle and covered the period July to

September 2025 (Quarter 2 2025/26).

Eight of the actions were rated Green. These were actions which were on or above target as planned.

Three actions were rated as Amber, these were off target by less than 10% or

where milestone achievement was delayed but with resolution in place to be

achieved within a reasonable timeframe.

Zero actions were rated as Red. These were actions that were significantly below target.

One action was classed as N/A. These were actions for which the reporting cycle was yet to commence e.g. being sequenced on the completion of other items, or where data was unavailable.

A detailed breakdown of the actions and Officer responsible was included within appendix one of the report.

The Cabinet Member acknowledged that ENVIRO9 was below target but extensive work had been done to bring the action up to target.

During discussions, Members commented on the following:

-       It was queried whether the delivery of the new depot was on target. It was confirmed the previous delay had since been rectified and recovered to be on target.

-       Given that the manager commentary for ENVIRO15 suggested that the programme was not mobilised until October 2025 onwards, it was queried whether the ‘on target’ status of the action was accurate. It was confirmed that the ‘on target’ status reflected the progress made during the procurement process prior to the rollout of the property upgrades. The Sustainability and Climate Change Officer agreed to share information with the committee about the purpose and delivery of the scheme. ACTION

-       It was queried why use of electric vehicle charge points had fallen at Stamford. It was noted that use of electric vehicle charge points fluctuated throughout the year and the usage levels at the Stamford site remained above industry standard.

-       The suggestion was made for Officers to revisit the measurements used to monitor electric vehicle charge point usage given that the overall proportion of utilisation would decrease as the number of charge points increased.

-       A Member raised that fly tipping enforcement was below target. The Head of Service (Public Protection) responded that the duration of investigations would often span quarters which could distort the figures. However, they noted that they would welcome greater resource.

-       Members sought clarification about the level of information for which fly tipping prosecutions could be made. It was noted that cases were usually built on the foundation of witness statements accompanied with footage.

-       Clarification was sought about SKDC’s preparations for the upcoming food waste rollout. The Cabinet Member for Environment and Waste confirmed that SKDC had been engaging with the Lincolnshire Waste Partnership, procurement of caddies had been completed, the Communications Team were taking steps to raise public awareness, and the purchase orders of SKDC vehicles had been undertaken. Confirmation was given that SKDC was on track for its operational ‘go-live’ date in April 2026.

-       It was confirmed that there was no anticipated impact on SKDC of Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) pausing some of their waste projects.

The Corporate Plan 2024-27: Key Performance Indicators Report - Mid-Year (Q2) 2025/26 was noted by the Committee.
