Issue - meetings

An update report (attached).

We received the report consulting the HSP on the development of the Local Area Agreement (LAA).

We noted that a draft of the LAA would be completed by September which would include information on:

-          Mandatory targets

-          Stretch targets

-          Reward for achievement

We noted that the Council was required to select 12-14 ‘stretch targets’ that were to be priority areas that were also achievable.  We were advised that targets should not be unrealistic, as this would decrease the chances of gaining the financial reward for meeting these targets.

A description of the process being followed would be completed by June 30^th for submission to the Government Office for London (GOL), and a submission of the full draft would take place in September.

RESOLVED:

1. That we note the report
2. That an extra meeting of the HSP take place, to consider the draft Local Area Agreement.
3. That the HSP agrees the process laid out for the development of the Local Area Agreement.
4. That the HSP notes all other recommendations
