Agenda item

The Board considered a report of the Assistant Chief Executive which presented progress against the council’s corporate basket of performance indicators (PIs), Council Plan and service plan actions and reported other performance issues for the 2015/16 financial year. A presentation was given by theCorporate Scrutiny and Performance Manager (for copy of report and slides, see file of minutes).

Councillor Hopgood expressed concern regarding the period of time covered by the fuel poverty figures which only go up to 2014. The Corporate Scrutiny and Performance Manager explained that the indicators were compiled nationally through the Office for National Statistics and suggested it could be possible to set proxy indicators around issues that were more immediately available.

Councillor Martin referred to the garden waste charging policy as part of the savings programme and commented on the land fill tax savings due to the 3.1% reduction going to land fill. He asked how the cost of policy charging compared to the savings on landfill tax. Councillor Graham suggested that she raise the issue at Environment and Sustainable Communities Scrutiny Committee. The Corporate Scrutiny and Performance Manager added that regular waste updates were reported and he would ask the Head of Projects and Business Services to look at this.
