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

Members considered a report of the Director of Open Spaces that updated the Committee on the progress of the Open Spaces Business Plan for 2012-2015, which the Committee approved on 25 April 2012. The report presented the second quarter review of the Plan, which showed progress on achieving the indicators for 2012/13 and a summary of financial performance. At the end of the second quarter, the overall departmental local risk budget was overspent by £63,000. However, all of the Open Spaces were expected to remain broadly in line with their local risk budgets at the end of the year.

The Director informed Members that an evaluation of Learning and Development would be undertaken every six months and the impact of courses organised would be included in the half year and end of year Business Plan progress report.
