Minutes:
The Committee scrutinised the
following matters:
Cabinet Board Proposals
8.1 Quarterly
Performance Management Data 2016-2017- Quarter 1 Performance (1st
April 2016-30th June 2016)-Education, Leisure and Lifelong Learning.
Members received the quarter 1 performance management data
as included in the circulated report.
Members noted that there had been an increase in the number
of people using Public Libraries in the first 3 months of 2016/17 but a slight
decline in the number of library materials issued during this period. The
increase in numbers is largely attributed to the extra work staff are doing to
attract audiences to the venues for activities and events and Members praised
the staff for their work and commitment whilst providing an excellent service.
Members asked if this increase in visitor numbers had
translated into any increased revenue and it was explained that the service
does not currently generate income from visitors. A future service model of
libraries was discussed such as exploring ‘internet café’ options, introducing
coffee machines and focussing on income generation.
Following scrutiny,
it was agreed that the report be noted.
8.2 Quarterly
Performance Management Data 2016-2017- Quarter 1 Performance (1st
April 2016-30th June 2016)-Environment.
Members received the quarter 1 performance management data
as included in the circulated report.
Following scrutiny it was agreed that the report be noted.
