Quarter Four Performance Reporting and Risk Register Review

Meeting: 16/04/2009 - Better Places Partnership (HSP) (Item 19)

Quarter Four Performance Reporting and Risk Register Review

This report will be sent to follow.

Minutes:

The Board considered a tabled report setting out performance during the Fourth Quarter against Local Area Agreement (LAA) targets within the Board’s responsibility and projects funded from the Area Based Grant (ABG). The report also included an update on the Risk Register.

 

It was noted that information in relation to Quarter Four had only recently become available and therefore it had not been possible to include the report in the agenda pack at the time of publication.

 

The ABG funded projects were all performing well against target and had delivered to the agreed outputs in terms of budget at the end of the financial year. To date four of the eight LAA National Indicator (NI) targets had not been met:

 

  • Increasing the number of parks awarded Green Flag status
  • Improved street and environmental cleanliness in relation to litter, graffiti, detritus and fly-posting
  • Local street and environmental cleanliness in the worst three Wards
  • Increase in number of pennants 

 

In terms of recycling the target attached to NI 192, the percentage of household waste sent for reuse, recycling and compositing, had not been met. This was largely due to changes in the way waste was now collected and the new methodology attached to this by the North London Waste Authority. An action plan was being formed to address this issue.

 

Information in relation to NI 175 (access to services and facilities by public transport) was still outstanding and officers continued to press Transport for London (TfL) to supply this.

 

The Board was advised that the Integrated Housing Board (IHB) was looking at the Fuel Poverty Strategy and had received a report on this at its last meeting.

 

Concern was raised that the Stretch Target, agreed under the previous LAA, which remained within the Boards responsibility should not be lost sight of as achieving this target would attract a significant amount of funding.  

 

The Board was advised that the status of the Risk Register had not altered since the previous meeting. It was noted that there was a typographical error in relation to Belmont recreation ground that should be amended.

 

RESOLVED:

 

  1. That the ABG allocations for 2009/10 be approved.

 

  1. That performance during Quarter Four be noted.
