Issue - meetings

The Performance and Business Information Officer presented a report on the KPI Performance Report Quarter 1 2017/18.

The Committee noted that:-

·  The recycling target had been achieved, along with the percentage of fly-tips cleared or assessed within 2 working days.

·  The Homelessness Team had prevented 133 people from becoming homeless.

·  The target for the number of affordable homes delivered had not been achieved in Quarter 1 which had been due to handover delays on site.

In response to questions from  Members, the Director of Regeneration and Place advised that:-

·  He shared the concerns about the lack of affordable homes being built but was confident that the target would be met by the end of the year.

·  A report would be brought to the Committee in December on a Review of the Temporary Accommodation Strategy which would set out the steps the Council intended to take to alleviate acute problems around temporary accommodation.

In response to other questions from Members, the Head of Environment and Public Realm advised that:-

·  The Council does receive recycling data from KCC but it needs to be audited before being presented to Committee and deadlines can be tight.  However, for Quarter 2 it is showing a positive trend.

·  An analysis of the cost of commercial waste versus the effects of fly tipping had been carried out.  However, the commercial waste service does need to recover all its costs.  Although the Waste Team would be working with KCC to establish a provision for commercial waste facilities.

·  A campaign would be introduced shortly, working alongside the Police, to stop any vehicle carrying waste to ascertain if they are a licenced waste carrier.

RESOLVED:  That the summary of performance for Quarter 1 of 2017/18 for Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) be noted.
