Councillor Grist alluded to County Councillors in his answer and I wonder if they would have a look at the Lincolnshire County Council website and see if they agree that the coast and countryside sections could be improved for the benefit of residents.

Question 6.

Councillor Horton

Subject

Financial cost to support Magna Vitae Leisure Trust

Response by

Portfolio Holder for Partnerships

Supplementary

I wonder what business would maintain, own and replace assets with no return, as you say an independent organisation but how can that be when we are funding them?

Response

When MV was set up it was agreed that the Council would retain the assets, we have a responsibility to maintain in law,  we then make a reduction to the amount we provide them annually to provide the services we ask them to provide.

Question 7.

Councillor Horton

Subject

Number of incoming calls to housing services

Response by

Portfolio Holder for Communities

Supplementary

It is quite alarming that we have 1.5 more incoming telephone calls than the previous year with no more staff, are there any plans to review this?

Response

This is due to increased responsibilities through the Homeless Reduction Act and the transition of housing register to ELDC, we are managing this and things are beginning to ease, staffing is under review.

Response by

You stated 80 staff in your response, given that I’m led to believe that PSPS have not committed their allegiance to  the site yet, how is it all going to work.

Response

This is part of ongoing negotiations, if PSPS do not commit we will have extra capacity.
