Minutes:

The Sub-Committee received a Report of the Town Clerk concerning Corporate and Business Planning.

 

Members welcomed the Report, picking up on paragraph 23, they stressed that in the absence of information (or when information was incomplete), officers should try to avoid delays in driving through changes and “get on with it”; it was inevitable that some departments would be slower than others in identifying outcome measures and putting processes in place to collect them, these departments should not hold back overall progress.

The Chairman queried which financial year these requests were granted for i.e. was the baseline 2017/18 budget amended or was it for 2018/19? Officers would return to update and clarify at the next meeting of the Sub.

 

The Chairman also asked for an update on the asset management SBR review and how this relates to the operational property review and FM. The Chamberlain gave a brief summary, but Members were keen to see more detail. Officers would return to update Members at the next meeting of the Sub.
