This report presents the Committee with its Key Priority Targets for 2019 to 2020.

Following consideration, it was resolved:

(1)      That the Committee agreed its Key Priority Targets for 2019 to 2020 as set out at Annex 1.

The Committee received a report presenting its Key Priority Targets for 2019 to 2020.

The following matters were considered:

a)            Food hygiene ratings. A Member of the Committee enquired what the national average percentage was for food businesses rated between 3-5 within the food hygiene ratings system. It was noted that Officers would research this matter and provide information to Members of the Committee following the meeting.

b)           Electric vehicle charging points. Officers informed the Committee that proposals for the introduction of electric vehicle charging points at various car park locations within the Borough were being considered. The Committee was informed that such facilities could be provided through a number of different suppliers and business models, and that careful consideration would be given to the appropriateness of each.

c)            Review of CCTV provision. The Committee considered that the review of CCTV provision included within its Key Priority Targets should include both the technical quality of footage required to enable its use in legal proceedings, and the Police’s willingness and resources to utilise such footage. Members of the Committee expressed concerns that both of these issues had informally been reported as being matters which reduced the effectiveness of the Council’s street scene CCTV provision in the past.

Following consideration, it was resolved:

(1)      That the Committee agreed its Key Priority Targets for 2019 to 2020 as set out at Annex 1.
