Issue - meetings

(a)       That the report be accepted;

(b)       That the Housing service share a report on progress with outstanding actions from the audit on Maes Gwern Contractual Arrangements; and

(c)       That an item on the current status of overdue actions under Housing & Communities and Streetscene & Transportation be shared at the next meeting.

The Internal Audit, Performance & Risk Manager presented the update on progress against the Plan, final reports issued, action tracking, performance indicators and current investigations.  Since the last update, one Amber Red (some assurance) report had been issued on School Funding - T? Ffynnon.  There was a slight variation in overdue actions and follow-up arrangements were continuing including escalation to the Chief Officer team.

As requested by the Chair, the Housing service would be asked to provide a report on actions relating to Maes Gwern, to give assurance to the Committee that progress was being made.

Councillor Bernie Attridge sought information on the current status of actions relating to SARTH including reference to developing a plan for homelessness.  The officer agreed to liaise with Housing colleagues and share an update with the Committee.

Sally Ellis thanked the team and Chief Officers for the update on overdue actions.  On high and medium overdue actions, she raised concerns about the number of those with a revised due date and suggested that an update from Housing & Communities and Streetscene & Transportation be shared with the Committee.  It was agreed that this combined update would be included as an agenda item for the next meeting.

On that basis, the recommendations were moved and seconded by Councillors Bernie Attridge and Andrew Parkhurst.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the report be accepted;

(b)       That the Housing service share a report on progress with outstanding actions from the audit on Maes Gwern Contractual Arrangements; and

(c)       That an item on the current status of overdue actions under Housing & Communities and Streetscene & Transportation be shared at the next meeting.
