WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL
Report by Chief Officer – Citizen, Culture and Facilities
Corporate Services Committee 6 November 2024
Subject:Citizen, Culture and Facilities Delivery Plan 2024/25 – Mid-year
Progress
1 Purpose
1.1 This report sets out the mid-year progress of the Citizen, Culture and Facilities
Delivery Plan 2024/25.
2 Recommendations
2.1 It is recommended that Committee notes the progress achieved at mid-year.
3 Background
3.1 In line with the Strategic Planning & Performance Framework, each Chief
Officer develops an annual Delivery Plan which sets out actions to help deliver
the Strategic Plan and address the performance challenges and service
priorities identified in the planning process. The Plan also provides an
overview of services and resources, including employees and budgets, sets
out the performance indicators (PIs) for monitoring progress and considers the
relevant risks.
3.2 The Citizen, Culture and Facilities Delivery Plan 2024/25 was presented to
Corporate Services Committee on 22 May 2024 with a commitment to report
mid-year progress and year-end progress in November 2024 and May 2025
respectively.
4 Main Issues
4.1 Full details of mid-year progress are set out in Appendix 1.
4.2 The progress of the Plan’s 35 actions is summarised below:

4.5     Eighteen of the 20 PIs are monitored quarterly. Quarter 2 data is available for
14 of the 18 PIs. Performance is summarised below, based on all data
available at this time.
Performance Against Target Q1 Q2
Target significantly missed 4 5
Target narrowly missed 5 1
Target met or exceeded 9 8
Total No. of PIs for which data is available 18 14
4.6 Significantly missed targets relate to the following PIs:
 % Satisfaction with museums & galleries: whilst target for Q1 was met, Q2
target was significantly missed, based on the data it’s unlikely the year-end
target will be met
 % of telephone calls answered within 5 minutes by Repairs Contact Centre
as a proportion of all calls answered: whilst target for Q1 was exceeded,
Q2 target was significantly missed and therefore it’s unlikely the year-end
target will be met.
 % of telephone calls answered within 3 minutes by Contact Centre as a
proportion of all calls answered: whilst target for Q1 marginally missed, Q2
target was significantly missed and therefore it’s unlikely the year-end
target will be met
 Residents satisfaction with Council services overall: target for both Q1 and
Q2 significantly missed, whilst there is an upward short trend, it’s unlikely
the year-end target will be met.
 % of stage 1 complaints responded to within 5 working days: Q1 target
significantly missed, with a downward trend. As Q2 data is not yet
available there is not enough data to anticipate year-end outcome.
 % of stage 2 complaints responded to within 20 working days: Q1 target
significantly missed, with a downward trend. As Q2 data is not yet
available there is not enough data to anticipate year-end outcome
 % of residents who feel the Council communicates well with them: Both Q1
and Q2 target was significantly missed and therefore it’s unlikely the year-
end target will be met.
