Action Log Summary

The April action log contains 14 open actions. Of these, 6 were carried from previous periods and 8 were raised new in April. Three actions are overdue and have been escalated. Eight actions from the March log were closed during April — a completion rate of 73% against the rolling three-month average.

The three overdue actions are all high-value commercial items requiring Commercial Director involvement: the Riverside FM application reformat, the Cathedral Quarter QS query response, and the Mersey Gateway re-measure claim approval. All three have been escalated and have revised target dates within the first week of May.

Trend: Carried-forward actions have plateaued at 6 since February — these are the persistent Riverside FM and Cathedral Quarter items that have not been resolved for multiple periods. Completion rate stabilised at 73% after declining from 89% in November. The overdue count rising from 0 to 3 over six months indicates that the most difficult commercial actions are not being resolved within the monthly cycle.
