Issue - meetings

(Copy herewith)

2.1  Cabinet reviewed the contents of the performance report (Appendix 1) and recommended actions to be taken to address any issues arising.

2.2  Cabinet agreed that the Annual Performance Report will be presented in June of each year to the Audit Committee.

Councillor Larratt as the relevant Cabinet Member referred to the revised report circulated at the meeting.  This showed a good outcome for the quarter in question; for example, BV012V staff sickness had significantly improved.  The red issues were continuing to be addressed.

Councillor Beardsworth noted that the report was useful.  She queried whether EC09 (fly tipping) was a result of opening times at NCC’s household waste recycling centres. 

Councillor Beardsworth considered that more needed to be done regarding temporary accommodation (HML01).  The Head of Housing and Wellbeing stated that the numbers in temporary accommodation were a concern to all.  There were currently 9 households in B&B (with shared facilities) but only one with a pregnancy/child.  Councillor Birch queried how many children were in temporary accommodation and whether there was any relationship between NPH evictions and those in temporary accommodation.  The Head of Housing and Wellbeing confirmed that the majority of households in temporary accommodation had children and agreed to provide Councillor Birch with the numbers.  Councillor Hibbert stated that there were not many formal evictions by NPH, who tried to maintain tenancies wherever possible.

Councillor Birch queried whether HMO08 (HMO licensing) was affected by resources.  Councillor Larratt was not aware of this, but agreed to investigate.  In respect of Councillor Birch’s concerns regarding MPE01 and MPE02 (NWEZ businesses/jobs) Councillor Larratt stated that the narrative went some way towards explaining the current situation and that he would be happy to clarify any further details.
