To consider a report of the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services giving an overview of Property Services’ performance and financial outturn position for 2017/18 and the business strategy priorities for 2018/19 and beyond.

The Panel considered the annual report of the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services (Item 7 in the Minute Book) which provided an overview of Property Services’ financial outturn position for 2017/18.

In response to Members’ questions, it was confirmed that the County Council had a Joint Working Arrangement with the University of Winchester and that asset survey and management work had recently been undertaken for them by the service. The Panel noted the intention to continue to develop the working relationship as the University expands in capacity.

RESOLVED:

That the Buildings, Land and Procurement Panel notes the successful outturn for Property Services in 2017/18, in particular, the continuing strong performance of the service to generate external income to maintain capacity and skills as well as making a substantial contribution to overheads.
