The Committee had before it and NOTED a *report from the Group Manager for Performance, Governance and Data Security providing an update on performance against the Corporate Plan and local service targets for 2018-2019 as well as providing an update on the key business risks.

The Committee asked, in relation to the Corporate Plan aim to facilitate the housing growth that Mid Devon needs, including affordable housing, for confirmation of the number of and location of Council houses built in the District in recent years. The Group Manager for Performance, Governance and Data Security stated she would provide a response.

Discussion took place regarding the reporting of Markets and that some Members felt that other local markets not run by the Council should be included.

The Committee requested that an explanation be provided of the biodegradable bags being provided by traders at the Tiverton Pannier Market. The Group Manager for Performance, Governance and Data Security stated she would provide a response.

The Committee were informed that the Gas Safety Inspections figures were reliant on tenants allowing access to their properties to enable the inspections to take place. The reason the figure was not 100% was that some tenants would not allow access but it was explained that there was an agreed procedure if the tenant didn’t allow access.

The Committee discussed the fact that stress factors were only reported for staff and not for Members. The Chief Executive explained that he had a statutory duty of care for council employees (officers) but he would raise with Member Services the issue of stress management for Members.

The Group Manager for Performance, Governance and Data Security summarised the risk matrix.
