Planning
Although the KPI for "MBC Success Rate in Planning Appeals over a 12-month rolling period" fell short of its target by a small margin, under 10%, it's notable that there has been a consistent improvement in the success rate since the measuring of the metric began; rising from 61.54% in quarter one to 66.94% in quarter three.
Economic Development
The KPI monitoring the “Footfall in the Town Centre” missed its target by less than 10% achieving 5.91 million against the target of 6.19 million. Q3 figures are significantly higher than Q2 figures (1.7 mil higher) for the current financial year, and 812,322 higher than Q3 2022/23, but still below pre-covid figures, this could, in part, be due the rise in inflation as families and individuals make difficult spending decisions, train disruptions and bad weather.
