______________________________________________________________ 
PURPOSE OF REPORT 
1. The purpose of this Report is to advise the Joint Committee regarding the
progress made to date against the Performance Scorecard. 
RECOMMENDATIONS 
2.   It is recommended that the Joint Committee: 
i Notes the performance scorecard presented in this report; 
ii Continues to receive the performance scorecard updates; and 
iii  Otherwise, notes the content of the report.
BACKGROUND 
3  The purpose of the performance management and benchmarking is to work
collaboratively to deliver tangible and sustained improvements within the
Ayrshire Roads Alliance in order to manage the on-going development and
delivery of benchmarking frameworks. 
4. Improved performance management is fundamental to supporting the Ayrshire
Roads Alliance.  This drives change and improvement within the fully integrated
roads service and support improved outcomes, better performance, and more
effective use of resources.   
5. The Performance Indicators are regularly refreshed when new useful
performance measures are introduced by the Ayrshire Roads Alliance or there
is an agreement to include a specific indicator.  This will be a regular item for
the Ayrshire Shared Service Joint Committee to review. 
MAIN REPORT/MAIN ISSUES 
6. This scorecard is collated by the Business Support Manager and used to: 
• monitor the progress in meeting the Ayrshire Roads Alliance’s
objectives;
• help managers to have performance-related conversations with staff;
and

Page 2

• identify any problem areas that need addressed. 
7. Some indicators are collated at different frequencies and so these will be
included as appropriate. 
8. The Performance Scorecard is presented in Appendix 1.  Commentary against
the specific red and amber performance measures are included in Appendix 1.
There are a number of green performance measures which should be
highlighted, especially: 
• Finance with respect to the percentage of invoices paid within 30 calendar
days.  This is currently at 98% for this financial year. 
• Priority 1 and Priority 2 Faults – with respect to the percentage of priority
1 and 2 faults completed within timescale.  This is currently above target
for this financial year. 
• Safety Inspections – with respect to the percentage of safety inspections
completed within the timescale.  The service has achieved an average of
98% for this financial year. 
9. The Process Improvement and Integration Plan continues to identify
improvements to a number of existing processes for re-design within The
Ayrshire Roads Alliance. 
POLICY/COMMUNITY PLAN IMPLICATIONS 
10.   A well maintained road network will contribute to achieving the Community Plan
objectives in relation to Economy & Skills and Safer Communities to maintain
good access to our communities within East Ayrshire. 
11.   The matters referred to in this report contribute to South Ayrshire Council
strategic objective of ‘Enhanced Environment through Social, Cultural and
Economic Activities’ and within that to the outcome ‘Work with partners to
improve roads and other infrastructure, to encourage house building and
business investment that sustains local communities’. 
LEGAL IMPLICATIONS 
12 The Performance Scorecard summarises the pertinent Statutory Performance
Indicators and this does not replace the existing statutory returns for
performance information. 
HUMAN RESOURCES IMPLICATIONS 
13 The Performance Scorecard has no direct impact on human resources. 
EQUALITY IMPACT IMPLICATIONS

Page 3

14 The Performance Scorecard complements the Equality Impact Assessment by
ensuring that any issues arising are adequately prioritised, managed and either
eliminated or mitigated. 
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 
15 The Performance Scorecard facilitates the existing scrutiny arrangements to
manage, prioritise, and review the budget provided by East Ayrshire Council
and South Ayrshire Council to the Ayrshire Roads Alliance. 
RISK IMPLICATIONS 
16.    The Performance Scorecard assists in the prioritisation of risks that need to be
mitigated by the Ayrshire Roads Alliance in order to reduce the overall risk to
either Council and to comply with the Community Plan/Council Plan in both
partner bodies. 
TRANSFORMATION STRATEGY 
17 This Report aligns with the following design principle stated in the
“Transformation Strategy 2017-2022”. 
• “Maximum value for our communities”, by ensuring the various elements
of the Ayrshire Roads Alliance improves transport provision throughout
