The Executive considered a report from the Deputy Leader and Executive Member for Corporate Resources that set out the quarter 1 2018/19 performance for the Central Bedfordshire Medium-Term Plan indicator set.

In response to a question, the Executive Member for Adults, Social Care and Housing Operations explained that a task force had been established to consider future support for the community and voluntary sector infrastructure organisations.

In response to questions, the Executive Member for Community Services acknowledged the increase in the leisure centre usage and hoped that this would continue once Dunstable Leisure Centre was reopened.  Road closures were taking place across Central Bedfordshire to enable repairs to the road network in the area.
