Annual Performance Report: 2009/10 CARDIFF COUNCIL CYNGOR CAERDYDD EXECUTIVE BUSINESS MEETING: 15 JULY 2010 ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT: 2009/10 REPORT OF CITY & COUNTY TREASURER AGENDA ITEM: 2 PORTFOLIO: CORPORATE Reason for this Report 1. This report outlines the progress made during the financial year 2009/10 against the objectives under the Cardiff Connections, Economic, Social and Environmental Wellbeing themes in the Corporate Plan 2009/12. 2. This report provides the Executive with the opportunity to monitor and evaluate the progress made in delivering the Corporate Plan 2009/12 and consider any necessary remedial action. Background 3. The Cardiff Performance Management Framework seeks to provide an alignment between the Council’s Corporate Planning arrangements, through Service Area Business Plans, to the objectives set for individual officers. 4. Performance is being reported against the themes of:- • Cardiff Connections • Economic Wellbeing • Social Wellbeing • Environmental Wellbeing Issues 5. The Annual Performance Report for 2009/10 is contained at Appendix A which has been drafted as a result of service areas monitoring and reporting progress quarterly during the year. The Annual Performance Report provides the basis for the Council’s Statutory Improvement Plan, although it should be noted that the measures contained within the Report are subject to external audit and validation by the Wales Audit Office. Page 1 of 6 6. The Local Government (Wales) Measure has amended the requirements of the Wales Programme for Improvement. The amendments mean that there will be a separation of the future priorities and improvements that the Council has agreed during the Corporate Plan development which was published in April 2010, from the retrospective picture of our performance which will be published in the Council’s Statutory Improvement Plan by 31 October 2010. This separation is aimed to assist citizens, communities and customers in better understanding the Council’s plans for the future, actual progress and areas of improvement. 7.

    ADRODDIAD BLYNYDDOL / ANNUAL REPORT 1950-51 HENRY BONSALL 1951001 Ffynhonnell / Source The late Henry Bonsall, Llanbadarnfawr. Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1950-51 Disgrifiad / Description A manuscript music book, containing Welsh airs, written by Miss Bonsall, 1807; naturalists' calendars kept at Glan Rheidol, 1841, 1866-70; and diaries and notebooks of Henry Bonsall, 1882-1947. An interesting miscellaneous collection of over 100 printed books, mostly of the nineteenth century and in English, but containing eleven books in other languages (Dept of Printed Books). Five of the books in the collection are of eighteenth century date and eight are seventeenth century books. The last-mentioned include Latin editions of works by Cicero (1606), Erasmus (1613), and Ovid (1626), an English political tract of the year of the Restoration (1660), the 1686 edition of Jeremy Taylor's Holy Living, and a travel book of 1797. The two others are of considerable local interest, namely, Shiers's Mine Adventure in Wales (1700) and a volume of verse entitled Poetical Piety or Poetry made Pious, by William Williams (London, 1677). The latter is dedicated to 'Sir Thomas Pryse of Go-gerthan. .', and the author describes himself in the dedicatory letter as 'a native both of your Neighbourhood and County'. There is a pencil note on the fly-leaf in the hand of the testator stating that the copy came from the 'Wallog Library sold by Col. G. G. Williams'. The eighteenth century books include a copy of the 1713 edition of Thoughts on Religion by W. Beveridge, bishop of St Asaph. The bulk of the collection is of nineteenth century date and the books are highly miscellaneous.
