The Leader opened the floor for Members to comment on their portfolio areas.
Councillor T Gillard thanked all staff that had been involved with arranging the celebration to mark the 40th anniversary of Coalville market and that it was pleasing to see that the investments that had been made helped to increase the footfall along with many traders using social media to advertise their stalls.
Councillor R Blunt stated that he had fully supported the investment and that it was making a difference and hoped that future investments would allow it to continue.
Councillor R D Bayliss highlighted that there the target for
average re-let time was still not being met, but assured Members
that it was being worked on and highlighted that the service was
carrying out more work to the void properties before they were
handed over which contributed to the delay in time.
Councillor T J Pendleton stated that he was happy with the way
Development Control was performing and that it was well above the
national standard.
Councillor A V Smith highlighted that the Leisure Centres continued
to exceed their targets and were going from strength to strength.
She advised Members that the recycling material technology was now
fully operational and drew Members’ attention to the
compliment that Environmental Health had received from Iceland Air
on the service that the team had provided in assisting them to
import fish through East Midlands Airport.
The Chief Executive drew Members’ attention to paragraph 2.4
and advised that the Portfolio Holder was working with Officers to
look at the future options should the County decide to review the
dry recycling credit payments and advised that a report would be
brought to a future meeting.
Councillor R Blunt advised that the budgets
were being managed effectively and that it was projected that there
would be additional income by the end of the year and took the
opportunity to welcome the newly appointed interim Director of
Resources to the meeting. He highlighted that there had been an
increase in sickness during quarter two however the human resources
team were looking at options to improve the management of
absence.
The Chief Executive added that the authority had an excellent
record in sickness management and it was very supportive to short
term illnesses, providing assistance and counselling if required,
however it was more difficult to manage long term illness as it
often required the support of external health providers that often
hindered the support that could be given and that the Council was
working on options to improve the management.
It was moved by Councillor R Blunt, seconded by Councillor T Gillard and
