Report of the Director of the Built Environment.

The Committee received a report of Director of the Built Environment that set out the progress made to the Department of the Built Environment 2014/17 Business Plan during Period 1 (April – July). Members were advised that the Department was £133,000 (5.8%) underspent against the local risk budget to date of £2.3 million.

In response to a Member’s question, the Assistant Director of Cleansing advised that there were very few unresolved time banding queries. He added that unresolved queries involved helping businesses who were having difficulties complying with time banding regulations when the scheme was introduced and that this indicator might not have been as relevant now and therefore may be replaced in next year’s business plan.

In response to a Member’s question regarding public conveniences, the Director of Transportation and Public Realm advised that, in general, new barrier facilities were not yet meeting original income projections but facilities at Paternoster Square and Tower Hill were over-performing.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
