The Group had before it, and NOTED, a report * from the Director of Growth & Chief Executive providing Members with an update on performance against the Corporate Plan and local service targets for 2017/18 as well as providing an update on the key business risks.
Discussion took place regarding:
· The number of businesses assisted were now being recorded. This was currently on target at 183, as at the end of November, against an annual target of 250. This related to any assistance that took more than one hour to provide. Advice was usually given in relation to such matters as land, premises or a grant.
· The report presented quite limited information in terms of the national economic position. It was requested that more extensive statistics were needed in relation to Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
· It was suggested that the words ‘macro’ and ‘micro’ in relation to the risk ‘Decline in National Macro-economics’ be removed.
Note: * Report previously circulated; copy attached to the signed minutes.
