The Director of Finance and Support Services submitted a report on the performance of key indicators for Community Scrutiny Committee for the period August to September 2015. 

The Performance Monitoring Officer explained that Community Scrutiny Committee had 22 indicators within its performance monitoring basket, of which four were either on target or exceeding their targets and one was just off target.  The remaining 17 performance indicators only showed a trend.  In relation to the short term trend, nine indicators out of the 22 had shown an improvement compared to the previous period, with three indicators maintaining the same level of performance.  Ten had declined.

In response to a query from Councillor G Cutting regarding indicator EHPI 3.4 (the number of visits by Licensing Enforcement Officers to Licensed Premises), and the apparent discrepancy  in the August 2015 figure,  the Director of Neighbourhood Services advised that nothing of note had occurred in August, and it was just the variable nature of the work.

In response to a query from Councillor D Oldridge regarding markets, the Head of Business Development explained that income was received from traders (including Farmers’ Markets), who paid the Council a fee for their pitches, and that markets at Hertford and Bishop’s Stortford were the largest.

The Committee received the report.

RESOLVED – that the reported performance for the period August to September 2015 be received.
