Issue - meetings

To receive a report from the Director of Operations 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.

The Group had before it, and NOTED, a report * from the Director of Operations providing it 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.

The following was highlighted within the report:

·         Where performance indicators were below target an officer note had been provided.

·         Since the agenda for the meeting had been published the number of outstanding gas safety certificates had reduced to one. This related to an abandoned property and the Council was looking to seek possession.

Discussion took place regarding the rent collected as a proportion of rent owed being over 100%. This was because the housing department collected arrears brought forward as well as some rents in advance.

The team responsible for collecting rent were congratulated by the Group who they described as being a ‘shining light’ within the organisation.
