Annual target will not be achieved

There has been a 35% decrease in the number of on board transactions compared to the same period in 2009/10. The impact of the snow experienced in late November and in December and the profiled customer levels for remainder of the year mean that the target will not be achieved. It is expected that the final out-turn for this indicator will be around 400,000 transactions.

Target will be slightly missed

The quarterly figures have continued along the same profile as previous years. Although the quarter 3 figure only show a 3% reduction compared to the previous year, the year to date figure shows that footfall in parks is –18% compared to 2009/10. Analysis of the last four years shows that quarter 1 and 2 of 2009/10 were exception high (For example the quarter 1 figure for 2009/10 was 82% above the three year average for quarter 1). If the final quarter follows the profile of previous years it is unlikely that the annual target will be achieved.

Annual target will not be achieved

The figures are following same profile as previous year. A performance in several individual wards has improved and the response rate remains good at around 20%. This indicator is about perception which can be easily influenced and therefore may not be a true reflection of the actual cleanliness of the borough. The survey cards have been amended to allow more comments from residents about how the services can be improved however, at this stage is it likely that the annual target will not be achieved.

Data for this indicator is supplied by Kent Country Council and therefore subject to a time delay. Quarter 3 data will reported in the Annual Performance Plan.  Please note Quarter 2 data which was not available when the Quarter 2 report went to Cabinet and the year to date figure which is for the period 1^st April 2010 to 30^th September 2010. When the target was set it was expected that the food waste collection would have been operational in October 2010, which would have reduced the amount of residual waste, as this programme has been delayed is it likely that the annual target will be marginally missed.
