Background Information |
|
The Scrutiny Committee set a small Panel of members to consider the available performance measures and select two sets, linked to the scrutiny programme, for monitoring on a quarterly basis.
The sets are to be considered by the Scrutiny Committee and the Housing Panel. The attached table includes the selection for the Scrutiny Committee.
|
|
Why is it on the agenda? |
|
These tables represent performance at the end of Quarter 3. The Panel was able to find and select measures that related to the following priorities of the Committee:
• Youth Ambition. • Reducing Emissions. • Participation in Healthy Activities. • Improved Recycling. • Great Customer Contact • Empowerment. • Corporate Health.
Members may wish to focus on measures that were below target in quarter 1 and seek assurances that these will be achieved by year end, or where this is not likely to be the case, that there are satisfactory reasons why.

The committee were interested in knowing:
· Littering in the city centre - especially the time the business rubbish was collected from Cornmarket and whether it could be shifted so rubbish was not piled up for collection in the early evening.
· out of the streets checked for detritus levels, whether it was the same streets which continued to be dirty
Cllr Sanders asked that it be minuted that she was very supportive of the work Geoff Corps and the Street Cleaning Team were doing.
BI002b Number of Council apprentices created through Council investment for those living in Oxford
