Members gave consideration to the first of four planned Progress and Delivery reports for 2017/18, which reflected the performance of the Council over the 2017/18 municipal year (April 17 – March 18). The report for Period 1 dealt with the progress and delivery of projects which were aimed at the delivery of the Corporate Plan. The report highlighted those projects that had entered the delivery stage and were either off track or at risk of not delivering. The report also dealt with the progress and delivery of the services the council provided. It was an “exceptions” report and dealt with those services which were either performing above the required level or were below the target set for them. The report further provided Members with a summary of activity across services.

It was noted that the report had previously been considered by both the Prosperous Communities Committee and the Corporate Policy and Resources Committee. Members were provided with the minute arising from each.

The Committee were asked to examine the responses given to the report by the Corporate Policy and Resources Committee and the Prosperous Communities Committee and assure themselves that the appropriate level of challenge was being made by those Committees to the information contained in the report.

Following consideration of the report, a Member of the Committee commented that Enforcement Officers face difficulties such as travel considerations and budget restrictions and asked for it to be placed on record his thanks for their hard work.

RESOLVED that having examined the responses given to the report by the Corporate Policy and Resources Committee and the Prosperous Communities Committee, the Committee have assurance that the appropriate level of challenge is being made by those committees to the information contained within the report.
