Issue - meetings

Consideration was given to a report which reviewed the progress made to-date against the Annual Governance Statement 2015/16 Action Plan.

The significant issues that had been identified for development were:

·         Strategic & Spatial Planning

·         Development Management

·         Strategic Programme Delivery

·         Information Governance & Security

·         Intelligent Clienting

·         Selective Licensing

The attached Action Plan referenced the progress made in respect of Development Management and the oversight and scrutiny provided by the Challenge & Improvement Committee who had received regular update reports from the service. The introduction of the Selective Licensing Scheme had been successful; with a greater degree of take-up than previously envisaged. In respect of Information Governance, a follow-up audit into Incident Management had reported a finding of substantial assurance and many associated policies had been revised. 

At present it was envisaged that all matters would be appropriately addressed by their respective due dates.

RESOLVED that that having considered the content of the report the Committee be assured that the current position of the Annual Governance Statement Action Plan for 2015/16 would result in the completion of all relevant actions by July 2017.
