The Head of Policy,
Communications and Governance introduced the report and outlined
the changes implemented following the previous feedback received on
the proposed areas of focus shown at Appendix A to the
report.
An urgent update to Appendix B
had been circulated to the Committee which included the comments
from the Communities, Housing and Environment Committee and the
Strategic Planning and Infrastructure Committee. These were that
two indicators; homelessness as a result of domestic abuse and
office vacancy rates be added to the list of proposed Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs). The latter would depend on whether
the Council continued to purchase the data which contained the
information requested.
In discussing Appendix A, it was requested that ‘across the
borough’ replace ‘for the borough’ within
proposed area of focus to ‘Deliver a sustainable and vibrant
leisure and culture offer for the Borough’.
In
discussing Appendix B, it was
requested that the recovery column for the town centre footfall
indicator include when footfall figures have plateaued as well as
when pre-covid-19 levels were achieved.
RESOLVED: That
1.
Full Council be recommended to approve the revised
areas of focus, as set out in Appendix A to the report, for the
strategic plan 2021-2026; and
2.
The Key Performance Indicators, as set out in the
Urgent Update – Appendix B, for 2021-22 be agreed.
