Contact: George Candler   Tel: 01743 258671

          RESOLVED:

i)             That the key underlying and emerging issues in the reports and appendices be considered; and

ii)          That the performance portal be reviewed and any performance areas to be considered in greater detail be identified or referred to the appropriate Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

The Portfolio Holder for Corporate Support drew attention to the increasing numbers of visitors and Shrewsbury Museum and Old Market Hall.  Satisfaction with highways services had decreased, mainly due to inclement weather and these issues would be addressed as the weather improved and days lengthened.  In response to a comment from the Liberal Democrat Group Leader in relation to the low average wage in Shropshire, attention was drawn to the Economic Growth Strategy which looked to grow sectors that would improve this figure. 

RESOLVED:

i)            That the key underlying and emerging issues in the reports and appendices be considered;

and

ii)             That the performance portal be reviewed and any performance areas to be considered in greater detail be identified or referred to the appropriate Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
