DECISION

Cyngor Gwynedd's Annual Performance Report and Self-Assessment 2022/23 was approved, and to recommend its adoption by the Full Council.

DISCUSSION

It was explained that the report provided information about the progress of the projects of the Council's Plan 2022-23 and it was noted that it had three main parts, namely:

·       Performance of the Priority Projects of the Council Plan 2018-23

·       The performance of the day-to-day work of departments

·       Self-assessment of Cyngor Gwynedd's performance 2022-23.

Members were reminded that it was a statutory requirement for the annual self-assessment to be submitted to the Cabinet and this was the second report of this type. It was confirmed that the report had been before the Education and Economy Scrutiny Committee and the report reflected their observations. 

It was reported that a public consultation had been conducted on this report, in accordance with the statutory requirements, and the citizens panel, elected members, town and community councils, staff and unions were contacted.

It was confirmed that 221 responses had come to hand. It was noted that a summary of these responses could be seen in the report.

It was considered that the report was fair and honest and the use of clear language was praised.

It was confirmed that an independent panel would be established in the future to assess the Council's performance.

It was explained that all Council Members would discuss this in the next meeting of the Full Council on 28 September 2023.
