In response to a comment from Councillor Brian Milnes, the Deputy Head of Finance updated those present about progress being made in replacing the Council’s telephone system. The Interim Chief Executive added that the deployment of new equipment at South Cambridgeshire District Council would take place ahead of similar deployment at Huntingdonshire District Council and Cambridge City Council.

Councillor Dr. Tumi Hawkins (Lead Cabinet Member for Planning) responded to comments from Councillor Nick Wright regarding Risk C1 (Housing delivery and maintaining five-year housing supply), and offered to meet with Councillor Wright to discuss his concerns outside of the Cabinet meeting.

The following answers were given in reply to questions from Councillor Heather Williams:

·         The Investment Strategy would be reported to Cabinet on 2 October 2019 and Full Council in November.

·         Audit of the Accounts for 2017-18 had not yet been completed.

·         Regarding Risk C2 (Failure to meet targets for building new affordable Council housing and failure to spend Right To Buy receipts), Councillor Hazel Smith (Lead Cabinet Member for Housing) said that the risk should be reduced significantly during 2019-20.

·         Consideration could be given to inviting all Councillors to attend training offered for particular committees rather than just the relevant committee members.

Councillor Peter Topping suggested that Risks should be ‘owned’ by appropriate Lead Cabinet Members rather than by officers.
