To enable Cabinet to give consideration to the comment made to it by the Resources and Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee in respect of the above.

RESOLVED that Cabinet notes the intention of the Resources and Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee to carry out task and finish reviews of waste management and recycling rates.

Cabinet was informed that, at the inaugural meeting of the Resources and Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee held on 21 May 2018 (Minute 6 referred) that Committee had received a report from the Deputy Chief Executive regarding the Council’s Performance Outturn Report 2017/2018.

It had been explained to the Committee that the report included 16 indicators and projects where performance had been measured. Of those, 13 (81%) were on or above their expected target and 3 (19%) were not in line with expected performance. Three of the indicators and projects within the report had been deemed non-measurable as the Council’s role was that of ‘influence’ only.

Members of the Committee had been informed that the performance report had been submitted to Cabinet at its meeting held on 18 May 2018 and that any feedback from the Committee would be presented to a future meeting of the Cabinet as a separate reference report.

(a)  the contents of the report be noted, subject to the sickness figures being removed from future performance update reports to the Committee.

The Committee had also RESOLVED that:

(b)  the Cabinet be informed that the Committee will be undertaking overview and scrutiny reviews on waste management and recycling rates and will inform Cabinet in due course of the outcome of such reviews.
