Councillor Draycott submitted a report that set out the changed approach to performance management and reporting to deliver One Leicester in the context of the new national performance regime and the recently agreed Local Area Agreement 2008-2011.

Councillor Willmott stated that the report indicated a leap forward in how performance was to be managed, and that a new approach had been taken in that there was a strong line of accountability, due to Local Area Agreement targets being allocated to individual Cabinet Leads for the first time.
