6. Review of Property Assets

On 15 July the Corporate Governance Scrutiny Committee considered the Review of Property Assets. The Scrutiny Committee supported the proposals in general but urged the Executive to ask officers to:

  • continue to liaise on the proposals with District Councils, including the Vale of White Horse District Council in relation to the Old Gaol, other local councils and partner organisations;
  • look at the implications for car use/parking/policies arising from the (preferred) option/s for office properties and staff;

and drew the Executive’s attention to the importance of tackling the unsustainable level of assessed property maintenance.

7. Human Resources Strategy

On 15 July the Corporate Governance Scrutiny Committee considered the draft Human Resources Strategy. The Scrutiny Committee comment to the Executive as follows:

  • staff retention should have a high profile in the Strategy, including the use of ‘exit’ interviews;
  • Smarter2Partner should clarify that it focuses on an internal audience;
  • unnecessary jargon should be reduced;
  • the Programme Board should have a high profile in the Strategy;
  • the Strategy should focus also on service delivery to the public;
  • the Strategy should be implemented rapidly and the results monitored actively.
