Issue - meetings

The Board considered a report on forward targets for 2009/2010 as set out in the Council Plan 2009 - 12 compared to the outturns for 2008/09 together with a list of the National Indicators which apply at District level.

Members raised a number of issues in relation to the targets which had been set and the Executive Director – Partnerships and Projects undertook to ensure that the relevant information was sent to Members on:

(a)       Satisfaction measures for Disabled Facilities Grants and why no targets had been set;

(b)       Diversionary activities including a breakdown of how many users are attending each session and why the future targets have been set at this level;

(c)        Residual Waste per household and why the target remains the same for the next three years; and

(d)       the position regarding the National Indicators which are reported at District level and how information on these indicators may be reported back to the Board.

RESOLVED:

(a)       that the comparison of targets and outturns as set out in Appendix 1 be noted, but that in the light of concerns as to whether the targets set demonstrate an appropriate level of ambition, further consideration be given to this matter; and

(b)       that the list of National Indicators as set out in Appendix 2 be noted .
