Review of Customer Focus Councillor David Booth, Chair of Resources, Performance and Development Overview and Scrutiny Committee, presented his report of the Review of Customer Focus. Councillor Booth outlined the approach taken in the review and how the implementation of recommendations rested with both officers and members. Councillor Booth highlighted that the review had been taken out when the economic climate and the Council’s resources had been more positive and that some of the recommendations would require some cost. He also envisaged that, where systems required changing (as referred to in recommendation 18), this would happen as part of the regular maintenance of systems. Councillor Heather Timms (Cabinet portfolio holder for Corporate Services), thanked Councillor Booth and the Review Panel for their report and recommended that Cabinet approve the recommendations, subject to the initiatives not duplicating existing initiatives and to subject to any budgetary constraints. Resolved That the Recommendations of the Panel be approved, as amended by paragraph 6 of the covering report, and subject to avoiding duplication with any existing initiatives and any budgetary constraints. 3 6.

Councillor Richard Hobbs (Cabinet portfolio holder for Community Protection) reported that the Warwickshire Safer Community Partnership had discussed some amendments since the despatch of the report and requested that Cabinet approve these amendments prior to the Plan’s submission to the Council on 24 March. During discussion, Jim Graham, reported that he had chaired a meeting on the Prevent agenda and advised that, given the number of existing partnerships, care should be taken not to create additional partnerships when issues such as this emerge.

(2) That the Plan, as amended, be submitted to County Council for approval on 24 March 2009. 7. Civil Parking Enforcement – Financial Report Councillor Martin Heatley (Cabinet portfolio holder for Environment) presented proposals for the use of a financial surplus generated by civil parking enforcement. It was noted that the largest surplus had been generated in Warwick District. Councillor Tim Naylor expressed concern that illegal parking had not improved and requested information on whether parking had improved across authorities. Councillor Heatley was also asked whether those who were paying the fines were resident in the area or were travelling in. Councillor Heatley advised that it was possible to look at commuting patterns and added that he would report back in the Autumn. 4 Resolved That Cabinet agrees the recommendations for use of Civic Parking Enforcement income and surpluses as set out in Section 5 of the report. 8. Waste Management Capital Programme Cabinet considered the report of the Strategic Director of Environment and Economy.

  • Report To: Middle Quinton Eco-Town Joint Working Group - 15 September 08 By: Gill Collin Head of Planning
    Report To: Middle Quinton Eco-Town Joint Working Group - 15 September 08 By: Gill Collin Head of Planning Title: An Information Report detailing The Current Position 1. Government Publications 1.1 In July 2008, Communities and Local Government (CLG) issued two new publications: • Eco-Towns: Living a Greener Future: Progress Report • Eco-Towns: Sustainability Appraisal - Scoping Report for the Planning Policy Statement on Eco-Towns. 1.2 The latter concludes the initial scoping stage of the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) and sets the way forward, leading to the publication of the SA Report for public consultation. It re-emphasises the key criteria for eco-towns, as set out in the Eco- Town Prospectus published in July 2007, i.e: • Eco-towns must be new settlements, separate and distinct from existing towns but well linked to them. They need to be additional to existing plans, with a minimum target of 5,000 homes. • The development as a whole should reach zero carbon standards, and each town should be an exemplar in at least one other area of environmental sustainability. • Eco-town proposals should provide for a good range of facilities within the town - a secondary school, a medium retail centre, good quality business space and leisure facilities. • Affordable housing should make up between 30% and 50% of the total with a particular emphasis on larger family homes. • A management body which will help develop the town, provide support for people moving to the new community, for businesses and manage facilities. 1.3 The document states that there will be three strands to the SA: 1.

  • REPRESENTATION in the APPOINTED STATE: the CASE of COUNCILLORS in the WEST MIDLANDS REGIONAL ASSEMBLY By
    REPRESENTATION IN THE APPOINTED STATE: THE CASE OF COUNCILLORS IN THE WEST MIDLANDS REGIONAL ASSEMBLY by THOMAS CHARLES GORDON OLIVER A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Institute of Local Government Studies School of Government and Society College of Social Sciences University of Birmingham March 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The rise of indirectly elected institutions, such as the West Midlands Regional Assembly, has democratic implications for notions of accountability, legitimacy and representation. The representative function of these bodies must be explicitly fulfilled if they are to be considered democratic. The conceptual focus of this thesis is the representative function of members of the West Midlands Regional Assembly. The analysis applies a representative role framework based on Pitkin’s “Four Views of Representation” to explore the formalistic and substantive elements of representation through an appraisal of focus, style, role and scope. The results show that there are weak accountability structures in place, leading representatives to adopt a trustee conception of their roles. A grounded theory analysis is utilised to explore additional factors not covered in Pitkin’s framework.

  • Reserve Sites Preferred Options Topic Paper
    Site Allocations Plan Topic Paper 1 (Sept 20) Site Allocations Plan Topic Paper 1: Reserve Sites Preferred Option September 2020 1. Purpose 1.1 The purpose of this Topic Paper is to explain in more detail how the Council has arrived at its preferred option in respect of identifying the specific reserve housing sites listed in Annex 1 of the Site Allocations Plan. This document should be read in conjunction with the explanatory text set out in the Site Allocations Plan itself. 1.2 Although a Development Plan Document in its own right, the Site Allocations Plan is a tier 2 plan and subservient to the Core Strategy. As such, the Core Strategy sets the context for the identification of reserve sites. 1.3 It is important to note that reserve sites differ from allocated sites in that they will only be released for development if required; they are in addition to allocated sites and sites with planning consent that comprise the Council’s trajectory of sites to deliver its housing requirements. Allocated sites are relied on and expected to deliver at a point in time. 1.4 As such, for practical reasons, if a site can come forward for development in any event (because it is permitted to do so under the Core Strategy) then it cannot be identified as a reserve site, as the restrictions preventing its development could not reasonably be applied. 2. Strategy 2.1 Core Strategy Policy CS.15 identifies seven general sustainable locations across the District, setting out the types of development that are appropriate and where development will take place: A.

R1.2 Include new supporting paragraphs on the lines of the introductory paragraphs of document EXAM16D, and a new Policy SR4 as follows: Policy SR4 Safeguarding the Integrity of European Sites A. LDDs and other plans and programmes prepared by local authorities, and other relevant agencies, should give the highest level of protection to sites of international nature conservation importance (European sites1). Local authorities and other plan makers should therefore ensure that they: (i) test alternatives as part of the process of preparing LDDs. In particular, where there are potential adverse effects on a European site, a local authority should consider alternative distributions of development within its area; (ii) demonstrate at examination that they have avoided adverse effects through testing distribution and phasing options. If adverse effects cannot be prevented, the local authority will need to show it has mitigated any impacts so that no adverse effect on the integrity of any European site will occur (alone or in combination with other plans and projects).
