Service Comments This outturn is expected because of the museum collection being placed in storage to allow for the structural works to the Study Room, which was out of use from mid-October to mid-December 2018. Without access to the collection and event props, the well-attended Christmas Fair did not go ahead at the end of November; the Study Room was not available for large school groups or weekday hires; and there was no service available for collection enquiries or research. The main gallery exhibition was also in its last months and, due to the way the Christmas school holidays fell, there were no children's activities in

• December. This greatly impacted on the number of visitors that we attracted during this quiet time of the

year, highlighting the importance of our annual events programme which brings visitors to this destination

• site. We expect to see a sustainable improvement in visitor numbers in 2019.

Service Comments We are ahead of the annual target but down against this quarter target. The spread of school bookings has been more even this year across the quarters, but this is not easy to predict in advance. There is still capacity to attract more schools to the Bath House, and we have been in discussions with learning officers at the Verulamium site in St Albans to see if we can work together to offer schools combined visits in the future, as the two sites complement each other. Development work has been going on for new outdoor learning sessions which will be offered this year and, together with the new STEM sessions, we should see a further increase in school visits at both sites in 2019. School sessions are available three days a week during term time (Tuesdays to Thursdays).

Performance Indicator – 13 The total number of tickets sold across all businesses at CW Entertainment, (excluding private party bookings)

Service Comments This indicator was first introduced in 2017-18 and, on review, it is clear it was set too high for the

• business. It has been revised downwards for 2018-19 so it is more realistic and, because the annual

pantomime production is now accounted for separately, its ticket sales no longer form part of this

• indicator. Quarter 3 was very busy generally with the October half term and Christmas school holidays

doing particularly well. A strong film programme ensured that cinema visits were good. RollerCity and Soft Play City also performed well through this period, which is traditionally the busiest time of year for Campus West.

Performance Indicator – 29 The maximum number of households living in temporary accommodation in the borough (where the council has a duty)

Q3

55 75 89 96 20 40 60 80 100 120 2017/18 2018/19 Target Actual

Performance Trend

20 40 60 80 100 120 2017/18 2018/19 Target Actual

Service Comments The requirement for temporary accommodation has reduced in the last quarter, and a lot of work has gone into reducing the amount of households in hotels. There are now only 5 households in hotels, and this is due to the lack of available accommodation at the point of application. Length of time in hotels is reducing as we identify suitable accommodation. Through early intervention, the team has also been successful in preventing homelessness via negotiating with lenders, landlords and families to help families stay in their homes for longer; they have also helped a number of families secure suitable housing in the private sector and with other landlords, using initiatives such as our rent deposit guarantee and ‘spend to save’ schemes.

Performance Indicator – 30 The number of Decent Homes assessments undertaken in properties in the private sector

Performance Trend

40 80 120 160 200 2017/18 2018/19 Target Actual

Service Comments This is an excellent result as it represents 118% of year to date target and provides a solid foundation for achieving the annual target. The number of assessments will vary according to the amount of reactive and programmed inspections compared to the degree of proactive work to identify and confirm suspected HMOs. The increase in Licensable HMOs and team restructure will likely result in a higher number of inspections and next year’s target will be reviewed to reflect this.
