Private Sector Housing
The key performance indicator (KPI) monitoring “The number of private sector homes improved (through PSH interventions)” missed target by over 10%, achieving 39 homes improved against a target of 45 homes. The reason for this dip in performance is due to staffing vacancies in the team, which have now been filled. And as the newer members of the team become fully trained, we expect performance to improve for next quarter.

Public Realm
The KPI monitoring “The percentage of relevant land and highways that is assessed as having acceptable levels of litter” missed target by over 10%, achieving 79.83% against a target of 98%. The main factor to this low outcome was due to the ‘litter level survey’ being conducted a few days before the scheduled grass cutting and litter picking was undertaken along the high-speed roads in Boxley, Detling/Thurnham and Lenham/Harrietsham wards. These roads have now been litter picked and the required level of cleanliness has been achieved.
The indicator monitoring “The percentage of relevant land and highways that is assessed as having acceptable levels of detritus” missed the "acceptable levels of detritus" target by over 10%, achieving 82.16% against a target of 95%. The levels of detritus during this quarter along the 5 chosen wards was high and therefore this target was not achieved. The main factors to this missed target were due annual night-time closures of A249 and A20, to allow street cleansing activities as undertaken the a few days after the survey was completed. The current detritus levels are now at a much lower level and within target.
Going forward, we will coordinate the survey schedule more effectively to avoid such conflicts and ensure accurate assessments of litter levels. By doing so, we aim to improve the performance and achieve the target in the upcoming quarters.
Waste Services
At the time of writing the report, Waste Services have not received data from Kent County Council for quarter one of this year. Once received, the updated figures will be circulated with the quarter two report. The indicator monitoring the number of “Missed bins per 100,000 collections” missed its Q1 target by more than 10%, achieving 53.4 against its target of 40. Performance has declined compared to the previous quarter but is improved compared to the same period last year. These numbers are generally higher than in previous years as we are now using the unfiltered data from Biffa, so these results do have a direct impact on the performance mechanism and, therefore, the contract payments made to the contractor.
