Issue - meetings

The Board received a report setting out performance against Local Area Agreement Performance Indicators and programme projects in receipt of Area Based Grant (ABG) funding during the Third Quarter of 2008/09.

It was noted that all of the programme projects within the Board’s responsibility were performing to target and were expected to deliver against agreed outputs in terms of budget by the end of the financial year. The Board was advised that one of the LAA targets within the Boards responsibility, N1 192: Household Waste Recycled and Composted, that had not been met during the third quarter.

The Chair noted that this was partly due to a change in the way that waste was measured. Waste from the seven North London Boroughs was now collected and then the overall collection was divided by seven to show the level collected by each Authority. Since this methodology had been employed Haringey’s levels had risen. In order to provide a more accurate assessment of the levels of waste being recycled.

In response to a query the Board was advised that there were recycling schemes in place to enable residents living in flats to participate in recycling schemes. At present a system that allowed people to put all of their recyclable waste into one bag was used and other initiatives were also being trialled.

The Board was advised that data collected to measuring NI 186, which related to CO2 Emissions, was two years out of date and as such should be treated with caution. However, based on the information available, the target had been met.

RESOLVED:

That the report be noted.
