Minutes:
The Committee had before it and NOTED a report* of the Head of Communities and Governance providing Members with an update on performance against the corporate plan and local service targets for the 2015/16 financial year, as well as providing an update on the key business risks.
The Head of Communities and Governance explained that the report was slightly out of date and that it had been to each of the Policy Development Groups, Cabinet and Audit Committee.
Discussion took place regarding:
· Waste and Recycling performance had been updated in a report to the Policy Development Group on 22 September 2015;
· It was not clear whether waste tonnage was reported in kg or tonnes;
· Whether or not it was advisable for targets to be set for fixed penalty notices;
· Rent collection targets had been set at over 100% due to collections being made for the previous year;
· Figures for retention of members at leisure centres and what system was used to monitor this;
· Injunctions could be used if tenants would not allow entry for gas inspections.
It was AGREED that the Managing the Environment Policy Development Group be asked to consider whether or not officers should be set a target for the issue of fixed penalty notices or whether the emphasis should be on prevention as a priority.
Members requested that their appreciation to the Housing Repairs Service for their good performance be noted.
