  • Improved Recycling.
  • Great Customer Contact
  • Empowerment.
  • Corporate Health.

Any recommendations will be made to the Board Member or the next available City Executive Board.

 

If the Committee wishes to question Service Officers on performance, the officers concerned can be invited to a future meeting.

 

 

Minutes:

The Committee had before it the Performance Monitoring figures for Quarter 3.  Pat Jones, Principal Scrutiny Officer, presented the report to the Committee and provided some background and context.

 

The following indicators were highlighted:-

 

CS003 – customers getting through first time – although the target is not being met at present, it is important to remember that there were over 211,000 calls of which some 15,250 were abandoned for various reasons. This still compares favourably with other Councils’ results.

 

LP106 – increase participation at leisure centres by target groups – a more detailed report will be presented at a future Committee meeting (probably in April).

 

B1002a – training places – the Committee received further information on this at a previous meeting;

 

Councillor Simmons asked for further information about the Council’s carbon footprint and the recycling rate. He would like further information about current trends.

 

Resolved to note the report.
