Wrthi'n llwytho

Minutes of the meeting on 15th July 2025 were approved as accurate.
The Multi-Location Policy will be updated and presented once new equipment has been installed in the Chamber.
Cllr Declan Sammon presented the report. In response to questions, it was noted: · It is an umbrella policy that provides broad coverage to multiple areas, but the officer would look to add a reference to front line services. · Employee Protection Register already in use but agreed use could be promoted. Currently 10 people on the register. · Agreed a quick reference guide could be developed. · Baseline data on the impact of the policy would be reported back to scrutiny after six months. · Implementation and monitoring will be governed through our management structures, with violence and aggression included in departmental risk assessments. · Drugs and Alcohol Policy current being reviewed. Members commented that it was a comprehensive report and that recommendations could add value to its development and direction ahead of going to Full Council.
Cllr Declan Sammon presented the report and advised that the dates of future performance reports being presented to this scrutiny may need to be reviewed. Members commented that all relevant Directors should be present for these items to ensure that questions could be answered on all sections of the report. · Questions were raised relating to Wast Services targets, Social Services overspend, and Education overspend which were noted and would be referred to the relevant Directors. · Target Risk Score explained with scores and the risk description constantly reviewed and updated as part of agreed process. · The projected overspend in the Corporate Centre budget relates to the whole year not just the first quarter and predominantly results from the Council Tax Reduction Scheme which is demand led. · Director of Governance and Resources confirmed and detailed the new Housing legislation which is being introduced. · Corporate Board is yet to be decided and is currently being considered as part of the wider governance review. · Director of Governance & Resources confirmed that the target for SPMT005 has not been reduced, and the figure stated within the report will be clarified. The authority is currently on track to meet targets stated with the Empty Property Strategy. · The underspend from the budget setting is the result of less demand on temporary accommodation. · When leisure provision was brought in-house, there was no maintenance budget for the transfer, which resulted in an increased maintenance budget for Aberfan Community Centre. · All Corporate Assets are being assessed for savings through energy and repair costs. · Neighbourhood Services overspend explained however no information on their legal fees were provided. · The budget pressure at HWRCs was projected to the end of the year. · The savings target made by Neighbourhood Services are those delivered against what was agreed in March Members appreciated it was the first report of its kind and although improvements could be made moving forward, the report was welcomed. The Director of Governance and Resources welcomed the improvements identified and commented that future reports would be presented ahead of Cabinet and Full Council.
The Forward Work Programme was considered, and it was agreed to review the issues of future performance reports, a further corporate self-assessment report in November and an update on the Violence and Aggression Policy in April at the next Quarterly Technical Meeting.
No referrals were received.
Specific items from the recent risk workshop and the performance report presented today, would be considered at the Quarterly Technical Meeting.
The Chair advised that there was no other business deemed urgent.
Rhaid i gynghorwyr ddweud pan fydd ganddyn nhw gysylltiad personol â rhywbeth sy'n cael ei drafod, fel swydd, eiddo neu aelod o'r teulu. Mae buddiant sy'n rhagfarnu yn ddigon cryf i'r cynghorydd adael yr ystafell fel arfer a pheidio â chymryd rhan.
Caiff datganiadau eu darllen o'r cofnodion unwaith y byddan nhw wedi'u cyhoeddi.
Yn rhestru cynghorwyr presennol y cyngor yn unig. Nid yw aelodau cyfetholedig, swyddogion a chyn-gynghorwyr yn cael eu dangos.
