The Chief Executive and Director of Customer and Community Services submitted a report on the performance of key indications relating to Community Scrutiny Committee for the period January to March 2012 and the performance outturns.  He asked Members to note minor amendments to the recommendations.

In response to a query from Councillor N Symonds regarding response times to Anti Social Behaviour complaints, the Chief Executive and Director of Customer and Community Services stated that he would ask the Head of Licensing, Community Safety and Environmental Health to provide a written response.

In response to a query from Councillor R Beeching regarding a revised target of £0.47p (net cost subsidy per visit swim and gym) the Chief Executive and Director of Community Services explained that the figure should be viewed in the context of having reduced from over £7 since the start of the contract.  The contractual arrangement between the Council and SLM was explained.  In response to a question whether further major investment was appropriate, he suggested that any further major investment would be best  considered after the contract’s natural end.

The Chairman urged Members who were not familiar with Covalent to contact Officers so that training could be organised.

The Committee received the report.
