1.1     Purpose of Report

To provide a summary of findings from the Napier Social Monitor report 2017.

 

At the Meeting

In response to questions from councillors, it was clarified that:

·         Information from the report is available to other agencies via our public website but is not directly shared.

·         No other agencies contribute towards the cost of the report.

·         The type of information included in the report is under review. This is because many matters, while interesting as an indicator of shifts in themes for the community, are not within the scope of Council to make changes if required.

It was suggested that the report may only need to be produced triennially as a useful tool for incoming councillors. The statistics reported may also be useful to provide a more balanced picture to issues of debate within the community where the majority may feel differently to submitters through other channels.

Committee's Recommendation

Councillors Jeffery / Taylor

That Council

a.   receives the Napier Social Monitor report 2017.
