The Leader of the Council submitted a report setting out the performance indicators that the Council was required to monitor and publish annually.  He advised the Executive of the estimated performance for 2010/11 and the proposed targets for the next three years.

The Joint Scrutiny Committees on 15 February 2010, had made a number of comments as detailed in the “Issues Arising from Scrutiny” report.

Members raised the question of whether the target for employing people with disabilities and from black and ethnic minorities reflected the population of East Herts.  They were assured that this was the case. 

The use of empty homes in the District rather than new builds and the resource needed for that was raised by Members.

The Executive approved the proposals as now detailed.
