Issue - meetings

The Committee considered an analysis of progress against key performance indicators, together with an updated risk register for the first quarter of 2021/22.

Members discussed persistent anti-social behaviour in some areas. Officers confirmed that partnership working with other agencies such as the police took place to minimise anti-social behaviour across the District. Officers confirmed that a briefing to members of the committee would be arranged for a future date.

Information about the methodology for measuring performance against the street cleanliness indicator was also included. In response to questions from members, Officers confirmed that the methodology used had been developed by Tidy Britain and was commonly used by local authorities. They highlighted that it was beneficial to use the same methodology as others so that comparisons can be made easily.

Members also raised questions regarding food hygiene ratings and inspections conducted by the Environmental Health Team. Officers agreed to arrange a briefing session with committee members and the Environmental Health Team to discuss inspections and the food hygiene rating process.
