Report of the Director of Open Spaces (copy attached).

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Open Spaces outlining the overall departmental aims and objectives, the key projects for the next three years and the key indicators that have been set to measure performance.

Officers were asked to include in section 10 Human Resources, the number of temporary seasonal staff posts.  Whilst considering the Risk register, the Superintendent was asked to confirm whether Bunhill Fields was still on the English Heritage “At Risk register”.

Members are also asked to consider the key projects for the City Gardens and West Ham Park. 

RESOLVED:  That Members –

1.               approve the Open Spaces Department Business Plan for 2013-2016, including the key projects for City Gardens and West Ham Park, and agree the targets for service delivery as quantified by the performance indicators; and

2.               determine whether any projects and performance indicators represent high risk and priority sectors of service which you would expect to be featured in the quarterly progress reports which will be submitted to the Committee during 2013/14.
