Issue - meetings

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

The contents of the report were outlined with particular reference to the following:

·         This was the usual quarterly report presented to the Committee and now included target risk ratings for all Corporate Risks.

·         Any significant changes which had been made to the corporate risks since the last meeting were listed in section 2.3 of the report.

Discussion took place regarding:

·         The risk ratings relating to the delivery of the closedown of 3Rivers. This had reduced from 8 to 3. However, it was felt that the reputational risk in relation to 3Rivers was still quite significant. It was explained that all the timelines in the closedown plan had been met and the Council would be applying to Companies House in the next three weeks for 3Rivers to be struck off. Whilst there would still be some reputational risk, all the management actions that could have been taken had been delivered. The Committee requested that this continue to be monitored.

·         A view was expressed that the risk ratings in relation to the Culm Garden Village and the Cullompton Relief Road needed to be the same as they were interdependent. The officer stated that he would refer these comments back to the Director of Place & Economy.

·         It was confirmed that in the initial stages risks were assessed by the risk owners and then assessed by the Corporate Management team.

·         Concern continued to be expressed around Cyber Security and it was requested that this particular issue receive a specific agenda item at the next meeting so that the Committee could be reassured all that could be done to mitigate risk was being done or was planned to be done. This was AGREED.
