Discussion and questions from Members included the following:

 

-       The Council would continue to endeavour to try and meet its 90% target of responding the complaints within the prescribed timescale but with the continuing staffing problems the Council were currently experiencing, this would be unlikely in the short term. 

-       Informal resolutions that would resolve complaints quickly and efficiently would help the Council meet targets going forward. 

 

RESOLVED – That the recommendations to Cabinet as set out in the report be supported.
