This report provides an update against our Key Priority Performance Targets for 2016 to 2017, under our new Corporate Plan.

Following consideration, the Committee:

(1)          Noted the performance reported in Annexe 1 to the report, and did not identify any areas of concern.

(2)          Noted the actions that had been proposed or taken where performance was currently a concern as shown in table 3.1 of the report.

The Committee received a report providing an update against Key Priority performance targets for 2016/17.

The following matters were considered:

a)            Routecall Service. The Head of Operations informed the Committee that customisation of the Flexiroute software by the developer to enable pre-payment for bookings had taken longer than anticipated, but was underway.

Officers had contacted local Care Commissioning Groups regarding the potential to place an information notice board at Drs surgeries within the Borough to promote the service, and had received positive responses to this possibility. Work was currently underway to produce such a notice board.

b)            Empty properties. The Committee enquired what response officers had received following enquiries regarding long term empty properties within the Borough (detailed on page 26 of the agenda). The Chairman would look into this matter and provide an update to Members following the meeting.

c)            Accommodation of households through private sector leasing scheme. Following a question from the Committee, the Director of Finance and Resources informed the meeting that recruitment to the relevant officer post had been undertaken. Officers felt that the target of accommodating at least 5 households through the scheme in the current year was appropriate, but challenging. This would be higher in future years however, as the scheme would already be in place.

Following consideration, the Committee:

(1)          Noted the performance reported in Annexe 1 to the report, and did not identify any areas of concern.

(2)          Noted the actions that had been proposed or taken where performance was currently a concern as shown in table 3.1 of the report.
