(Report Ref SC022)

 

The Strategic Director: Resources and Strategic Director: Services introduced the report. The Committee was advised that as a consequence of the disaggregation of the joint waste contract, it was necessary to change the waste collection rounds that served the Winchester district. This had occurred in October 2019. A new district wide kerbside glass collection service started at the same time.

 

Representatives from the Southern Internal Audit Partnership (SIAP), updated the committee and set out the key points within their report as described in Appendix 1 and 2. Councillor Tod (Cabinet Member for Service Quality and Transformation) also addressed the committee.

 

The committee asked questions and raised comments which were responded to by officers and Councillor Tod accordingly. At the conclusion of questions and debate, the committee agreed the following points:

 

·         that successful project management and processes with less reliance on a single individual were vital for future success.

·         it was crucial that advanced communication takes place with all councillors informing of the project timescales, milestones, delivery expectations and any slippages.

·         that if calendars were viewed online the colours need to reviewed for maximum clarity.

·         that a councillor briefing on the new approach to waste collection be arranged.

·         that targeted, specific communication with ward members on major projects was vital.

·         that a follow up report was required regarding the implementation of these actions that demonstrated that the specified changes had been embedded.

 

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the internal audit report, ref SC022 and the associated learning points and actions were noted.
