Mark Smith, Interim Director for Highways and Streetscene, introduced a report which provided the 2018/19 Quarter 2 (July - September 2018) performance report for Wirral Plan pledges under the Environment theme. The Quarter 2 report was included as Appendix 1 to the report, and provided a description of the progress in Quarter 2, including available data in relation to a range of outcome indicators and supporting measures.

Responding to Members’ comments, Mark Smith stated that he would have to get more information around the energy switch service and why the take-up had been so low. He commented that more people were perhaps finding their own deals online and switching themselves.

A Member suggested that an item on the Smoke Free Wirral Strategy could be added to the Work Programme for a future committee to have an update on the broader picture.

Resolved – That the report be noted.
