The Executive Member made a few points in regards to the report.

 

He understood that the Council had to produce a Business Continuity Plan but there was no requirement to show the plan. He asked whether this was available on the Council’s website.

The Executive Member asked if he could be sent a copy of the plan.

Officers responded that they were generally hitting all the targets apart from the percentage of customers seen within 10 minutes of appointment time which was 99%.

 

Resolved: That the Service Delivery Plan as set out in Annex A be approved.

 

Reason:   So that the Registration Service meets its obligations under the ‘New Governance’ arrangements.
