Issue - meetings

The new Portfolio Holder for Public Protection and Enforcement (Cllr Angela Page) stated that she was looking forward to her new role.

Apologies were given because it was hard to read the high volume of data contained in the public performance overview document; this was despite the fact that it had been printed off in A3 for convenience. This was an issue that was noted across committees and was being addressed. 

Three areas had been flagged as red:

1.  It was noted that the Council’s efforts to promote awareness of activities had been negatively affected by the Covid pandemic.

2.  Similarly the amount of test purchasing had also been negatively affected by the Covid pandemic.

3.  The third area was the matter of the provision of business advice which had also been flagged as red. However, the Director for Environment & Public Protection stated that this in fact was not correct and the relevant data had not been harnessed together properly into one set of data . This being the case, this indicator should be green and would be changed for the next meeting.

RESOLVED that the update regarding the public protection and enforcement performance overview be noted.
