Agenda item

Holly Waterman, Senior Strategy Officer – Research, introduced the report which gave monitoring information for the end of Quarter 3 2018/19 (October-December 2018) for review of performance against the third and final year of our Corporate Strategy; monitoring of the corporate risk register; monitoring of Freedom of Information/Environmental Information Regulations requests and monitoring of complaints.

Members considered the report section by section with responses to queries as follows:

Directional Shift 1:  With regard to  Priority Action 1 concerning birds of prey it was noted that the Authority was doing all it could, including working with all parties concerned and reviewing progress.  This was a national problem and any suggestions of ways forward were welcome.  The Chair of the Authority reported that he had raised issues regarding birds of prey at a recent meeting with the Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire.

Directional Shift 3:  With regard to Priority Action 10 to develop a draft Supplementary Planning Document for Recreation Hubs it was recognised that this was still a necessary document and some work had already commenced, but was a low priority.

Directional Shift 4:  It was noted in response to a request for information on the percentage increase in sales at the Castleton visitor centre that the information wasn’t available at the meeting but would be communicated to Members as soon as it was available.

Cornerstone 1:  Cllr Tony Favell, Member Representative for Asset Management thanked all officers involved in asset management for their work, particularly Emma Stone, Head of  Visitor Experience Development, and Chris Manby, Corporate Property Officer.

Cornerstone 2:  With regard to Corporate Indicator 7 it was noted that a summary of appeals dealt with in the past 12 months had been sent to Members today.

The recommendation as set out in the report was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.

RESOLVED:

1.    That the Quarter 3 Corporate Performance Return given in Appendix 1 of the report is reviewed and any actions to address issues agreed.

2.    That the Corporate Risk Register summary given in Appendix 2 of the report is reviewed and status of risks accepted. 

3.    That the status of Complaints, Freedom of Information and Environmental Information Regulations requests given in Appendix 3 of the report is noted.
