To receive a report from the Corporate Manager for People, Governance & Waste.

Cabinet had before it and NOTED a report* of the Corporate Manager for People, Governance and Waste which provided Members with a quarterly update on the Corporate Risk Register.

The following was discussed:

·        It was asked whether the risks titled Culm Garden Village and Cullompton’s Town Centre Relief Road, should be considered at the same level of risk.  To which the Deputy Chief Executive (S151) acknowledged that these were linked, but the reason for a difference in risk was due to the long term funding received for the Culm Garden Village and that it was appropriate to treat these as separate risks.  The relief road was considered higher, which was also agreed by the Audit Committee.

To receive a report from the Corporate Performance and Improvement Manager and Corporate Manager for People, Performance & Waste providing Members with a quarterly update on the Corporate Risk Register.

The Committee had before it, and NOTED, a report * from the Corporate Manager for People, Governance & Waste and the Corporate Performance and Improvement Manager providing it with a quarterly update on the Corporate Risk Register.

Discussion took place regarding:

·       The risk rating in relation to the Culm Garden Village. The rating of 16 related to the funding sources in place for the Culm Garden Village rather than the delivery of the project, such as infrastructure considerations.

·       The risk rating of 12 in relation to the housing crisis and whether or not this was high enough. It was explained that the Register recorded risk ratings as they reflected the risk to the Council, of course it was the case that the risk to the community would be far higher.
