The Assistant Director of Neighbourhood and Customer Services submitted Document “M” which invited members to consider progress made on the delivery of actions identified within Bradford East Ward Plans from 1 April 2016 to 30 September 2016 in response to priorities identified through the Ward Assessment process.

Members were advised that the ward plans had been agreed in March 2016 and priorities had been agreed with the relevant ward councillors. This report represented a mid-year update and the next iteration would contain more detail.

In response to a question about reporting outcomes, Members were advised  that this information was shown at the end of each section in narrative form.

The Chair commented that she would prefer to change the format of the report to be a working document with monthly updates.

All Members concurred on the value of the ward partnership meetings, especially as the pace of change in respect of services was increasing.
