Councillor Keith Hoskins, as Executive Member for Enterprise and the Arts, presented the report and advised Members of the following:
· There were no substantial updates to the report and it was similar to the verbal update provided to the Committee at the meeting in June.
· The work tracker had been included as an appendix to put ongoing projects by the Commercial team into a concise and understandable form for monitoring by Officers and Members.
The Service Director – Commercial advised that the target for lottery tickets sold in the report was wrong and should be 530 not 803 as written, which meant that the project was ahead of target at 716.
In response to a question from the Chair, the Commercial Manager advised that the lottery was not advertised in the most recent Outlook magazine, but had been previously and were scheduled for future publications, and the team had increased its use of promotion through Facebook adverts. The had also been additional promotion from the good causes supported by the lottery to date.
The Chair thanked the Service Director – Commercial and his team for producing the work tracker spreadsheet included in the report and for its comprehensive look at the work ongoing in the department.
Councillor David Levett, as Chair, proposed and Councillor Val Bryant seconded and, following a vote, it was:
RESOLVED: That the Committee noted the report.
