Cabinet received the Annual Well-being Report is the Council’s annual end of year review and self-evaluation of performance for the previous financial year.  The Well-being report discharges a number of statutory requirements, particularly in relation to the new performance duties introduced by the Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act.  These require an assessment of performance, use of resources and the governance arrangements in place for delivering effectively.

The report details progress for example, positive inspection from Estyn, shifting the balance of care, addressing climate change, and recognises challenges in relation to school attendance and recycling rates.

Cllr Weaver noted thanks to the Performance Panel, Policy and Performance Scrutiny Committee and the Governance and Audit Committee who play an important role throughout the year in relation to monitoring the Council’s performance.
