Councillor Davis, the Cabinet Member with responsibility for Organisational Delivery introduced report BCa/18/04 and moved the recommendation. This was seconded by Councillor Lawrenson.
The number of staff leavers and the current vacancy rate was queried. Councillor Davis, the Cabinet Member with responsibility for Organisational Delivery, explained he would circulate definitive figures, however, he pointed out both Corporate Managers and Assistant Directors were currently looking at better utilising the resources they had. However, members did wish to see further clarity on this issue especially as the public could view the document and the last update had been within October 2017.
It was noted the number of planning approvals had increased from 940 to 1844 which was a considerable increase, as was the number of new homes completed this year. Members were very pleased with the progress made.
Cabinet were happy to see new measures being put in place around Governance particularly in terms of the time it took to publish minutes which would now be tracked.
Councillor Davis gave thanks to the Corporate Manager for Business Improvement and her team for producing a very thorough report.
