The Commission considered the Chief Executive’s Corporate Performance Overview Report for the third quarter of 2012/13 (October to December).

The following points were made in response to members’ queries:

• In relation to Business rate collection suffering as detailed on page 95 of the agenda papers, the Assistant Chief Executive stated that there was a lack of clear legal precedent as to how an unoccupied property was defined for rateable purposes.
• In relation to the number of children remaining on child protection plans being high, this was reported to be positive as more work was being done to identify children at risk and more work around prevention was also being undertaken.
