There was submitted a report by the Director of Development & Housing Services, Renfrewshire Council which provided detail on the three year progress for the Greener Renfrewshire element of the Local Outcome Improvement Plan.
The report indicated that Renfrewshire’s Community Planning Partnership was established to deliver positive change for Renfrewshire and had a number of interconnected workstreams with associated performance measures allowing for full and transparent scrutiny to ensure resources were best allocated, progress was on target and that the agreed priorities clearly reflected the changing social, political and economic environment.
The report highlighted the progress of the Jobs and the Economy Thematic Board against the agreed performance measures; drew attention to areas of achievement; indicated areas where additional work was required; considered what work was being progressed by the Jobs and the Economy Board to prevent poverty and inequality as well as responsive and remedial work; and provided the Board with an opportunity to consider any changes to impact measures.
Discussion took place on the impact measures and it was agreed that there would be a change to the way they measured the following targets:-
- Reduction in the number of 16-19 year olds who were unemployed seeking work; and
- Reduction in the vacant retail space in Paisley Town Centre
It was also agreed that the target “Increase the footfall in Paisley Town Centre” would have an additional two sources of information to be added.
DECIDED:
(a) That the year 3 progress of impact measures against targets be noted;
(b) That the revisions to the LOIP as outlined within the report be agreed; and
(c) That the changes to the Impact Measures be agreed and
(d) That it be noted that the updated information contained within the report would be included as part of the annual Community Planning Performance Report to the Renfrewshire Community Planning Partnership Board on 21 September 2016.
