The Chief Finance and Section 151 Officer introduced a report, which had been circulated in advance of the meeting, informing Members in summary of the position against Performance Indicators and Annual Delivery Plan Actions in quarter 3 of 2025/26.

Members noted the increase in compliments received and queried the reason for the rise. It was reported that many of the compliments related to leisure services and the Bonnington Theatre.

Members also noted the increase in MP letters received by the Council and asked whether there had been any common themes. It was agreed that this would be investigated and reported back to Members following the meeting.

Members queried whether the Council knew who the site on Burton Road had been sold to and whether any planning applications had been submitted for the site. It was noted that the site had been sold at auction and that Members could view ownership details via the land registry database. Regarding planning applications, it was agreed that officers would make enquiries with the planning department and report back to Members following the meeting.

Members queried how the Council measured its performance in cleaning and maintaining Gedling parks and recreation grounds. It was noted that maintenance was carried out across all parks on a weekly basis and that an independent surveyor inspected them annually. The Council had also identified issues with the quantity of checks being undertaken, and this was being addressed.

RESOLVED to:

Note the position against Performance Indicators and Annual Delivery Plan Actions in Quarter 3 of 2025/26.
