Report of the Director of the Built Environment.

The Committee received a report of the Director of the Built Environment which set out the progress against the 2013/16 Business Plan and the Financial Outturn.

Members were advised that the 2013/14 year end outturn position for the Department of the Built Environment services covered by this Committee revealed a net underspend of £171,000. A bid had been made to carry forward much of this sum into 2014/15.

In response to a Member’s question, the Assistant Director of Street Scene and Strategy advised the Committee information regarding the nature of the TPR1 Key Performance Indicator (KPI) would be supplied to Members on request. The Assistant Director of Street Scene and Strategy reported that there would be an increase in the number of resident communication and engagement campaigns and events in the second half of the year following detailed analysis of recycling rates and identification of areas where recycling participation was lower.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
