Consideration was given to the report on the Improvement Plan for March 2007, together with the corrective action being taken, as set out in the appendix to the report.

RESOLVED:

(a)       that the revisions to the Improvement Plan Exception Report, together with the corrective action being taken, be noted, and

(b)       that it be noted that, from the 90 actions highlighted for March, 58% of the Plan was on target (green), 2% was one month behind (amber), and 13.3% was over one month behind (red) – with 26% of actions having been re-scheduled or suspended, with approval.

(c)        that, notwithstanding (b) above, the Assistant Chief Executive be requested to investigate the reason for the apparent reversal in on-target (green) projects from 70% in February to 58% in March, and report his findings to the next meeting; and

(d)       that, insofar as the issues relating to the Modernisation of the Council Brand were concerned, a copy of the Style Guide be circulated with the agenda for the next meeting, and that, in this regard, the Council’s Communications Manager be invited to attend to assist with any discussion or debate;
