The Committee considered the report of the Head of Policy and Communications which detailed progress of key strategies, plans and performance indicators.

Members were also circulated an urgent update to the report.

It was noted that there were four areas where data was still awaited and this would be reported back to the Committee in June.

In response to questions from Members, it was noted that:-

·  All contact from businesses is captured and entered onto a database, this could be in the form of advice for start up, training or enquiries on occupancy within the Business Terrace.

·  A report on the Business Terrace would be coming to the June meeting of this Committee.

·  The data for the Park and Ride did include the period when the Sittingbourne Road Park and Ride closed.

·  This Council had volunteered to participate in some research that the LGA was carrying out on the impact of future changes to housing provision.

·  The target for deposits of litter that fall below an acceptable level was requested by the Head of Service to add context and give grounding.

·  The target for the number of non-car journeys made in Maidstone reflected the objectives of the ITS.  However, the Head of Policy and Communications would come back to the Member concerned with further clarity.

·  The data would be shown as raw data in the future rather than percentages and a comparison made with previous data

·  The establishment of a base line for the engagement with Parishes will be finalised once the first survey had been undertaken.  This would come back to the July Committee meeting as part of the Quarter 1 update.
