Additional documents:

Minutes:

The report before Members outlined the proposed corporate performance indicators, tolerances and targets for 2016/17.

 

Each year the Council undertook a comprehensive review of the Corporate Performance Indicators (CPIs) that were reported to the Corporate Management Team (CMT), Cabinet and Overview and Scrutiny Committees as part of the annual service planning process. The report set out (at Appendix 1) the proposed Corporate Performance Indicators and the associated targets and tolerances for 2016/17 for review by the Overview and Scrutiny Board prior to the finalisation of the Corporate Plan and individual Service Plans. 

 

Members sought and received clarification of the proposed target of indicator SC15 that related to the average number of days taken to remove streetcare flytips.

 

The Head of Streetcare advised that with the new technology that was being used operatives were dispatched a lot quicker to deal with flytips however sometimes such a quick turnaround could have a detrimental effect as people saw it as a rubbish removal tool.

 

Members noted that a restructure of enforcement services was currently underway throughout Regulatory Serves.

 

Members noted the proposed targets and tolerances for each indicator.

Report to follow.

Minutes:

Members were advised that the topic group had now produced an interim report to be agreed by the Board for submission to Cabinet for its consideration.

It was agreed that the report be circulated before Board members for their comments and a special meeting of the Board be convened to formally agree that the report be submitted to Cabinet.
