Minutes:

The Chief Officer (Organisational Change introduced a report on the 2014/15 Improvement Plan Monitoring Report relevant to the Committee.  The report covered the period July – September 2014. 

 

In response to a query raised by Councillor Richard Jones concerning empty industrial units at Buckley, the Chief Officer (Organisational Change) referred to the Authority’s  rationalisation programme and gave an assurance that an area review would be undertaken during the next 12 months. 

 

Councillor Paul Shotton commented on the proposed demolition of the Civic Offices in Connah’s Quay.  The Chief Officer (Organisational Change) advised that the demolition had been planned as part of the overall strategy of rationalisation.  The Leader of the Council explained that it had been previously agreed that the Civic Offices would remain open until the Connects Centre in Connah’s Quay was operational and the cash office facility available for public use.  Councillor Carolyn Thomas asked if some of the services available at the Connects Centres could be replicated at County Hall, Mold.  The Chief Executive explained that the Authority was looking to consolidate its Reception services at County Hall from next year to reflect the changing way that customers dealt with the Authority and to meet customer needs.  

 

RESOLVED:

 

(a)       That the report be noted; and

 

(b)       That the Committee continues to highlight and monitor poor performance and feedback details of any challenge to the Policy, Performance & Partnerships Team for reporting to Cabinet where appropriate.
