Decision details

Further to Minute No. 101, 15^th November 2017, the Director of Communities and Environment submitted a report which highlighted the progress which had been made to date, the emerging issues which had arisen and the areas for further development in relation to the Locality Working and the Priority Neighbourhood work programme.

Responding to a Member’s enquiry regarding the monitoring of performance in this area, the Board noted that the new approach had only been operational for a year, and that more detailed performance data would follow in the ‘Year 2’ update report.

Also, in response to a Member’s enquiry, the Board received assurances that although focus was being placed upon the 6 priority neighbourhoods and 12 priority Wards, the overall aim of the approach was to provide benefits to all communities across the city, and not to negatively impact upon those communities which bordered the priority neighbourhoods.

RESOLVED –

(a)  That the contents of the submitted report, together with the comments made at the meeting regarding the progress which has been made in this area to date, be noted;

(b)  That the Director of Communities and Environment be requested to progress performance management arrangements at the appropriate spatial level to support Year Two of the Priority Neighbourhoods programme;

(c)  That the Director of Communities and Environment be requested to provide Executive Board with an annual update on year two achievements in 12 months’ time.
