Play is crucial to health and development throughout childhood, contributing to social, physical, intellectual, cultural, emotional and psychological development. In producing this strategy, the Council has worked closely with the Castle Point Play Partnership and other Councils within Essex in co-ordination with Essex County Council to develop a unified County Play Policy and undertake a significant play consultation exercise. This has provided evidence to determine play needs in Castle Point. Whilst it has been recognised that many of the Council’s playgrounds are in a poor condition, this strategy will explain the measures being taken to address this issue with the aim of providing excellent play facilities by 2012 and improving the play value for young people in the Borough. Councillor Pam Challis Leader of the Council 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Castle Point Play Strategy sets out the Council’s role, future ambitions and plans for free play provision within the Borough over the next five years. The strategy is the end result of extensive partnership working with the Castle Point Play Partnership and co-ordinated working with the other eleven district council’s in Essex and the Children’s Fund Essex. A great deal of consultation has been undertaken through the Play 4 Play project which has generated significant research information for this strategy. The findings have provided clear evidence that the main deficiency that must be addressed in Castle Point is the need to renew all of the existing free fixed play equipped areas within the parks and open spaces of Castle Point. This issue is being addressed by the implementation of a five-year Playground Renewal Programme – a £1.33 million scheme to refurbish fifteen key playgrounds. The other key project will be to completely renovate the King George V Playing Fields, Canvey Island to provide a public amenity with an improved landscape and high quality play facilities for young people under the age of 19 years. This project should contribute to the reduction in the current high levels of anti-social youth behaviour currently being experienced and hopefully achieve the Council’s first Green Flag Award. Given the high cost of these projects, the Council will be looking to supplement its own resources with external grant funding. In addition to fixed play the Council aims to work with the new developing Essex Play Association to enable the delivery of a range of other organised play initiatives. 5 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Scope and Purpose of the Play Strategy Play is an important issue within Castle Point and is provided not just by the Council but through many other outlets. The strategy considers the various types of provision and through collaboration with the Castle Point Play Partnership provides a co- ordinated, prioritised approach to delivery. This strategy will link with the developing Open Spaces Strategy and other cross- cutting Council strategies. In particular, the strategy reflects the developing Play Policy for Essex which demonstrates an awareness and positive approach to supporting children and young people throughout the County. This strategy has been produced in line with the Children’s Play Council – Planning for Play: Guidance on the development and implementation of a local play strategy to provide the impetus to improve play provision within the borough and to support a funding bid for the Big Lottery Fund Children’s Play Programme. This document aims to be a practical guide, to be referred to whenever decisions about play need to be made. It is applicable to all forms of children and young people’s services. The purpose of the strategy is to: • Address the play needs of all children and young people in Castle Point under the age of 19. • Show how Castle Point will develop play provision from 2007 and ensure its sustainability • Ensure that provision is targeted to where it is required • Emphasise the close co-operation between all agencies at local and county levels • Ensure that consultation is embedded 1.2 Strategic Context 1.2.1 National Context Every Child Matters The UK government has a commitment to respond to the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child, in the context of play this covers the following: • Article 31 – ‘Every child has the right to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to the age of the child and to participate freely in cultural life and the arts’. 6 • Article 12 – the right to be consulted on issues that affect them • Article 13 – the right to express their views • Article 15 – the right to meet with others • Article 19 – the right to be protected from harm and abuse • Article 3.1 – the right to services developed in their ‘best interests’ • Article 3.3 – the right to provision of an agreed standard • Articles 23.1 & 23.3. – disabled children have the right to support which promotes their active participation in the community and their fullest possible social integration • Article 30 – children from minority communities have the right to enjoy their own culture, and to practice their own religion and language The government’s policy ‘Every Child Matters’ (ECM) sets five recommendations for children and young people’s general well-being: • Being healthy: enjoying good physical and mental health and living a healthy lifestyle. • Staying safe: being protected from harm and neglect and growing up able to look after themselves. • Enjoying and achieving: getting the most out of life and developing broad skills for adulthood. • Making a positive contribution: to the community and to society and not engaging in anti-social or offending behaviour. • Economic well-being: overcoming socio-economic disadvantages to achieve their full potential. Cleaner, Safer, Greener The Government’s Department for Communities and Local Government has developed policies to improve urban areas. One of these is the Cleaner, Safer, Greener agenda which relates to: • Creating cleaner, safer and greener communities by improving the quality of planning, design, management and maintenance of public spaces and the built environment. 7 • With regard to parks and open spaces it states that these have an essential role to play in building sustainable communities, and enhancing the quality of life in towns and cities and contributing to the cleaner, safer, greener agenda. Planning Policy Guidance 17 Castle Point Borough Council recognises the importance of its parks and open spaces and is committed to improving them. Planning Policy Guidance (PPG) 17 requires local authorities to assess the needs and opportunities for different types of open space and recreational facilities, including play space for children. The Council completed a comprehensive PPG17 Open Spaces Appraisal in 2006. This study highlighted a significant deficiency in the provision of free, high quality, playground facilities in the Borough and has influenced this play strategy (see appendix 1). National Obesity Strategy The Department of Health estimates that by 2010 a third of all adults and a fifth of children aged 2-12 years will be obese. Due to the short time scales this rapid increase is unlikely to be attributed to genetic reasons and therefore more likely due to behavioural and environmental changes within society with a change in eating patterns and people leading less active lifestyles. Almost a third of boys and two fifths of girls do not get the recommended weekly activity level of at least one hour of moderate intensity activity a day. To halt the year on year rise in obesity guidance advises local multi-agency teams to develop a local strategy to tackle overweight and obesity through prevention and weight management interventions. This includes population based approaches such as targeting children at home by promoting active play. Therefore the play strategy is vital and a key intervention which underpins the National Obesity Strategy.

The £60,000 global positioning system (GPS) technology, which is accurate to within one centimetre, has been given to the Traffic Investigation Unit (TIU) by the Highways Agency. GPS allows officers to make detailed measure- ments while crashed vehicles are still in situ, whereas in the past they had to wait for wreckage to be cleared to make line-of-sight calculations. The time saving means that investigations at large crash scenes on motorways and trunk roads can be Sgt Richard carried out more quickly and reduce road-closure times. Raker, of the TIU officers are also hoping to be able to use further Traffic advanced technology soon to produce animations Investigation showing how crashes happen.

    APPENDIX 2 THE DEANES SCHOOL CONSULTATION A Review by a Task and Finish Group of the People & Families Scrutiny Committee August 2013 C O N T E N T S EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3 BACKGROUND 5 ISSUES, EVIDENCE AND RECOMMENDATIONS Key Evidence 7 Essex County Council 11 The Deanes School, Community and Parent Groups 14 Essex County Council local Members and Rebecca Harris MP for 19 Castle Point Castle Point Borough Council 22 Essex County Council – Second session 24 Written Evidence 28 CONCLUDING REMARKS 39 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 43 1 2 Executive Summary In July 2013 a Task and Finish Group of the People and Families Scrutiny Committee embarked upon this scrutiny review of the proposed Cabinet Member decision to consult upon the closure of The Deanes School at Thundersley given the significance of the subject matter. During its investigation the Group received and considered carefully evidence from a wide range of interested parties on the historical background to the original proposal to rebuild the school and at the same co-locate Glenwood School at the site; and the latest Cabinet proposal to consult upon the closure of The Deanes. This scrutiny report sets out in detail the evidence examined by the Group. Ultimately the Group was united in its conclusion that there was not sufficient evidence to justify support for the closure of The Deanes School, and agreed the following recommendation: RECOMMENDED TO COUNCILLOR GOODING AS THE CABINET MEMBER FOR EDUCATION AND LIFELONG LEARNING: That the Task and Finish Group, established by the People and Families Scrutiny Committee, has concluded that there is insufficient evidence to close The Deanes School on the basis of current evidence, and a repositioned school could be a success and offer an alternative to other schools in the area.

  • Open Spaces Strategy 2008 - 2013 1
    CASTLE POINT open spaces strategy 2008 - 2013 1 CASTLE POINT OPEN SPACES STRATEGY 2008 - 2013 foreword Foreword The aim of the Open Spaces Strategy is to assess and analyse the quantity and quality of the existing open spaces within the Borough of Castle Point, to consider their varied functions and significance for the Borough and to consider them in the wider sense of the Council’s corporate objectives. The Strategy sets out the vision for what the Council would like to achieve in terms of aims, objectives and broad policies for the Open Spaces within the Borough. This is based on an understanding of the supply, distribution, quality and level of use of the Open Spaces available, combined with the needs of the local communities within Castle Point. A key component of the Strategy is the Action Plan, which provides a focus for the implementation of the Strategy. Methods for monitoring and review of the process have been developed to measure the progress and delivery of the aims of the Strategy. CASTLE POINT OPEN SPACES STRATEGY 2008 - 2013 contents 1.
