introduced the report detailing the performance of the service
areas within the remit of the committee.
It was explained that:
·
Recycling rates had missed the target by 1%, but were expected to
meet the target within the second quarter;
·
Occurrences of fly-tipping had fallen by one third;
·
Once the Safeguarding Policy had been agreed training would be
delivered to practitioners;
·

of the committee as it correlated with health and wellbeing.
Members requested a more detailed breakdown of
the 16% increase in crime reports, attributed to an increase in
reporting of domestic violence. The Head of Housing and Community
Services confirmed that the Safer Maidstone Partnership was looking
into the issue, and more information would be provided to the Crime
and Disorder Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
