ES20121

Members noted the risk with respect to the out of hours noise service. Attempts had been made to increase the voluntary take up of officers participating in this service by increasing the out of hours call payment rate. However, this had not been successful and there seemed to be little appetite to take up the extra work.  In view of this, the Head of Service for Community Safety, Environmental and Domestic Regulation was tasked with investigating options for a paid service and the options for this would be presented to the Director of Environment and Public Protection for consideration.

The other red risk was with respect to the Coroner’s contract. The Coroner had requested additional resources and additional spend. It was the view of the Council however, that the original memorandum of understanding should be adhered to and other boroughs had taken the same position. Any requests for further spend would need to be transparent, justified and agreed ahead of time.

RESOLVED that the Risk Register report be noted.
