Issue - meetings

The Board considered the Improvement Plan Exception report for December 2008 together with the corrective action being taken.

The Assistant Chief Executive updated the Board on the latest position regarding a number of issues relating to the redevelopment of the Town Centre. Discussion included the possible location of the proposed “Blue Light” centre and the redevelopment of the toilet block. The Board felt it was important that all Members be kept informed of progress on the Town Centre by way of regular bulletins or briefings. The Assistant Chief Executive undertook to invite the Executive Director - Partnerships and Projects to attend the next meeting of the Board to discuss these issues further.

In relation to the Service Level Agreement for Bromsgrove Arts Centre there was some concern that following discussion at the meeting in December 2008, when it was understood the Agreement was to be signed very shortly, there now appeared to be the likelihood of a further delay. The Assistant Chief Executive undertook to raise this with the Deputy Head of Street Scene and Community and the Portfolio Holder and, if appropriate, to invite them to attend the next meeting of the Board. 

RESOLVED:

(a)       that the revisions to the Improvement Plan Exception report together with the corrective actions being taken be approved;

(b)       that it be noted that for the 131 actions highlighted for December within the plan 77.9% was on target (green), 3.1% was one month behind (amber) and 9.1% was over one month behind (red). 9.9% of actions had been reprogrammed with approval.
