The Business and Customer Services Portfolio Holder explained that he had asked for this report, as he had announced that the new software would be installed by October and clearly this had not transpired. He explained that the Boxer software was nearly ready to be introduced and that three councillor were required to test it before making it available to all members.

In response to questioning, Emma Alterton from 3C ICT explained that it had taken longer than expected to alter the agreement with the telecommunications company. It was noted that this was a common complaint regarding large telecommunications companies and notwithstanding this issue the Council had received good service from its current supplier.

The Business and Customer Services Portfolio Holder stated that he was encouraged by the progress made and expressed the hope that the software would be fully introduced soon.
