Issue - meetings

[Report of the  Chief Executive. To be introduced by the Leader of the Council.] Cabinet will receive an update on Corporate Plan delivery.

The Leader introduced the report which set out the progress and delivery against the Corporate Plan objectives agreed in February 2015.

In response to questions from Cllr Engert, the following was noted:

• With regard to the performance on repairing potholes, the Council had recognised that there were issues with the contract and were considering alternative ways, through the contract, of dealing with potholes. The Cabinet Member for Environment offered to write back to Cllr Engert on this issue.

• In relation to performance against targets for litter, the Council were right to set an ambitious target. It was important to recognise litter, debris is a concern for all residents, and the Council strive to achieve the best performance for them. Similarly, the performance target for cycle travel demonstrated the councils ambition for improving cycling travel numbers

• Homes for Haringey were running a series of workshops with tenants to understand the areas of dissatisfaction with the service and allow plans to be put in place. The support to leaseholders was previously discussed at Cabinet and Scrutiny, in particular concerns about re-charges. There was an ongoing project being led by the Homes for Haringey Director for Operations to address these issues.

• There was a London wide increase in violence with injury and robbery, and the Council, in partnership with the Police, were working to reach a decline in numbers of incidents.
