The Council Vision 2022-2026 was approved at Full Councill in March 2022. To support the Vision, we have a comprehensive set of measurable performance indicators which allow us to identify how well we are delivering across a full range of services. Two kinds of indicators were agreed at the Policy and Finance Committee on 17 March 2022. The first of these are the subject of this report, the ’Vision Indicators’ and this is the first annual report on them. These annual indicators primarily update the progress against strategic milestones.
Covered in a separate report are the Key Performance Indicators which are primarily numeric and measured and reported quarterly to Committees.

Upon the invitation of the Chair, the Group Head of Technical Service introduced the report to the Committee. He explained the Council Vision for the period 2022- 26 had been developed with Councillors at a series of workshops and then agreed by Full Council. It set out goals and would guide decision making for this period. The Vision was divided into 4 key themes: improving the wellbeing of Arun; delivering the right homes in the right places; supporting our environment to support us; fulfilling Arun’s economic potential. There were overall aims for each of these themes and some specific objectives to be achieved over the four year period. These were strategic and longer term objectives. Some of them may be changed or added to as priorities changed. The Policy and Finance Committee were responsible for overseeing performance across the Council . The annual report (appendix 2) set out progress against these objectives. It was intended as a useful and informative report for all Members which would give an overview of progress in all areas of the Council. These were grouped by Council Vision theme, rather than Committee.
Members were then given the opportunity to ask questions, summarised as follows:
The Committee noted the report.
