The Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for Corporate and Commercial Support presented a report from the Chief Executive detailing the Council’s key outcomes for Quarter 1 2018/2019. 

A Member commented on the fact that environmental performance was not measured in the Council’s statistics that drew her to the conclusion that the environment did not appear to be a Council priority.  She urged that this aspect be included in future performance monitoring given its impact on health, the community, wellbeing, transport etc.

Referring to a Member’s comments about the April 2018 increase in referrals to Children’s’ Services, the Director of Children’s’ Services gave assurances that this was reducing and was currently subject to scrutiny attention. 

Responding to concerns raised regarding the poor performance on street inspections for debris, the Chief Executive stated that a written response would be provided to the Member concerned.

RESOLVED:

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

ii)            That the performance portal be reviewed, and any performance areas be identified for consideration in greater detail or referral to the appropriate Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
