Issue - meetings

To receive and note a report that shows progress made against targets for Key Performance Indicators.

Richard Fitzgerald (Business intelligence Manager – Performance) and Roger Wilkin (Director of Highways, Transportation and Waste) were in attendance for this item.

1.)    Mr Fitzgerald introduced the report which showed progress made against targets for Key Performance Indicators and referred, in particular, to the guidance notes at page 28 of the agenda pack and to the summary on page 29.

2.)  In response to questions the officers provided further information:

3.)  Mr Wilkin said that a capital bid had been submitted for funding to replace the concrete street light columns across Kent.

4.)  In regards to the Key Performance Indicator HT11c (Number of actual streetlight conversions since that start of the programme), Mr Wilkin confirmed that from March 2018 there would be a further 18,000 LED street lighting conversions to do. The initial stage had been quicker as conversions were concentrated within residential areas with the more complex columns left until last. All conversions were due to be completed by May 2019.

5.)  In regards to Waste recycled and composted at HWRC’s, Mr Wilkin said that there were cost implications for providers if they failed to deliver the provisions of the contract in full and that Kent County Council sought redress for those costs from the provider if they occurred.

6.)  Growth, Environment and Transport (GET) was committed to improving digital inclusion and to this end work was being undertaken in conjunction with Agilisys and Software providers.

7.)    Members commended work undertaken in relation to LED conversions, pothole repair ad recycling.

8.)    RESOLVED that the report be noted.
