Minutes:
Members considered a report which sought their approval for the 2007/08 service plans for food law enforcement, health & safety law enforcement and animal health enforcement, produced in response to national requirements. Copies of the plans were annexed to the report.
The purpose of each plan was to detail how the Council was addressing national enforcement priorities and working towards delivery of local authority corporate objectives and priorities. All of the plans linked to the Best Value Performance Indicator for environmental health and trading standards (BV 166). Government guidance required that they be submitted to the appropriate Member forum for approval. The Council was also required to submit an annual monitoring report on each plan. The 2007/08 food and health & safety plans included performance variances with targets set in the 2006/07 plans, as required by the national bodies.
