Minutes:

The Chief Executive and Director of Customer and Community Services submitted a report on the performance of key indicators for Environment Scrutiny Committee for the period August to September 2013, the detail of which was set out in the report now submitted and within the attached Essential Reference Papers.

 

The Corporate Planning and Performance Manager explained that two targets showed a declining trend:

 

·        EHPI 2.1d (Planning Enforcement: Initial Site Inspections; and

·        EHPI 2.2 (45) Number of collections missed per 100,000 collections’ of household waste. 

 

Councillor R Beeching expressed concern at the concave design of the blue-topped bins especially in the wet. 

 

The Corporate Planning and Performance Manager referred to Essential Reference Paper “D” set out in the report now submitted and sought Members’ views on whether they would want information to be set out in the format indicated in future reports to Committee.  The Corporate Planning and Performance Manager explained the features of the “Dashboard” Analysis.

 

Councillor E Buckmaster supported the “dashboard” format but suggested that the word “value” be amended to “achieved”.

 

Councillor J Wyllie suggested that the display of so much information might confuse the public. Concerns were expressed concerning the display of the “best and worst performing indicators” in terms of how the data might be misinterpreted. 

 

The Corporate Planning and Performance Manager explained that if there were red and amber indictors shown, then this might help to show the information more clearly.

 

In summary, Members felt that there was too much information which might cause confusion, with all the features as shown and there was general support for some of the features to be utilised.

 

The Committee received the report.

 

RESOLVED – that (A) the reported performance for the period August to September 2013 be received; and

(B)   Members’ comments regarding the Dashboard Module as set out in Essential Reference “D” of the report now submitted be noted.
