  1. STAFF BRIEFING PERFORMANCE REPORT AND ACTION PLAN 2012

  2. CONTENT • Brief overview of CFA and LFRS • Community Right to Challenge Came into force in June 2012 and forms part of the Localism Act 2011. Allows qualifying groups to express an interest in providing services (including those of the fire and rescue service). Qualifying groups include community and voluntary organisations, parish councils and groups of 2 or more employees. • Performance in 2011/12 - Key performance indicator (KPI) outcomes - Financial report and look forward Summary: another very strong year with improvement across the majority of Key Performance Indicators. Financially, all aspects delivered alongside lowest ever council tax charge. Challenges for medium term highlighted as a result of estimated reductions in government funding resulting in a potential funding gap of between £5m and £9m by 2015.
