The Group had before it, and NOTED, a report * from the Director of Growth and Chief Executive providing Members with an update on performance against the Corporate Plan and local service targets for 2016/17 as well as providing an update on the key business risks.

Brief discussion took place regarding:

·         Up to date figures for quarter three which showed that there were 10 empty shops out of a total of 86 in Cullompton. Many of the issues relating to Cullompton centred around the absence of an effective relief road.

·         As a new Policy Development Group there was still some uncertainty about what performance indicators would be helpful to the Group. This would become evident as time progressed.

·         An update was provided in relation to the risks associated with the Pannier Market – a structural survey had been undertaken and whilst the cause of the bow in some of the glass doors needed to be identified, they were not load bearing and were made of toughened glass which beaded when shattered.

Note: * Report previously circulated; copy attached to the signed minutes.
