Issue - meetings

(In the interests of economy, Members are requested to bring their copy of the report which was included in the agenda for the last meeting).

Further to Minute No. 21/07 of the last meeting, a report setting out a Sustainable Community Strategy, an overarching strategic document for the future direction of the district, was submitted.  With regard to Section 8 of the Report (Performance Management), the Assistant Chief Executive circulated two additional papers to assist Members with their understanding of the arrangements for each part of the performance management framework.  Having canvassed Members views prior to the meeting on the document as a whole, comments from both the Chairman and Councillor Mrs. M. Bunker  were appended by way of a draft response.

RESOLVED:

(a)       that the following sentence under the heading “Transport” in Appendix 1 to the report (Chairman’s draft response) be amended to read as follows:

“This parking should not be made exclusive to shoppers of that store.”;

(b)       that, in all other respects, the report be noted and that the comments set out in the two appendices to the report form the basis of this Board’s response; and

(c)        that the performance management arrangements for the Sustainable Community Strategy be included in the Board’s work programme for review in March 2008.
