Strategy Committee Preview - 5 December
Just seen this. A few initial comments:
Item 5 - Mid Year Performance
Some slight weaknesses in Environemental Services but broadly on track.
Item 6 - Supporting People Inspection
A good 2 Star report with promising prospects for improvement.
Item 7 - Local Area Agreement
Performance Incentives for all Partners to share seems sensible and will strengthen joint ownership of the Agreement
Item 8 - Stanley Park School
The consultation on sites options seems sensible. They are:
a) Stanley Park School Current Site - Rather Small
b) Stanley Road Allotments - again small
c) Orchard Hill - Probably the best site, but is a complex process
If there is no flexibility, I suspect the school will end up rebuilding on the current site.
Item 9 - Waste Treatment and Disposal Service
A broadly senbsible joint procurement between, Sutton, Merton, Kingston and Croydon. I hope they have a good range of companies apply, including social enterprises.
Item 10 - Smoking Policy
A slightly more flexible policy on former manual staff and staff outside the building.
Item 12b - Oaks Farm
After two attempts to turn it into a cemetary and a Lavender Farm (run jointly by Bioregional and Yardley) the Council seem to have at last realised their responsibilties under the Landlord and Tenant Act and I suspect the new policy is simply to flog the farm to the sitting tenant.
Item 15 - Sutton Arena Security Works
This is a big piece of expenditure and the Tories are right to de-delegate an item that should have come to Strategy. However the £478,000 mainly capital expenditure seems right in view of the levels of previous vandalism and even a fire on the site. The car parking issues come as a response to demand from the Northern Wards Forum and should also be supported.
