Culture & Sport Subject: Programme for Parks Partnership REPORT City Government Llywodraeth y Ddinas CABINET: 5 FEBRUARY 2004 AGENDA ITEM: 4 PORTFOLIO: CULTURE & SPORT SUBJECT: PROGRAMME FOR PARKS PARTNERSHIP Reasons for the Report 1. This report sets out a programme for parks partnership that outlines the delivery of the Council’s vision for parks set within the Ambitions for Cardiff 2003 – 2004 and the Corporate Plan 2003 – 2004. Background 2. Parks are a precious, public resource, offering free access to all Cardiff citizens and embracing all aspects of equal opportunities. However, nationally (UK wide) and locally, there has been a decline in the quality of parks provision due to changes in social attitude and a lack of investment in infrastructure and maintenance. 3. The Heritage Lottery Fund launched a new programme for funding public parks improvements in February 2003. The Public Parks Initiative provides a unique opportunity to obtain significant funding support for historic parks and gardens in public ownership. To progress this opportunity we need to confirm support for the Programme for Parks Partnership in early February 2004. 4. The decline of public participation in the lottery has limited the funds available to applicants, and the Heritage Lottery Fund have now indicated that they will only consider two applications for major schemes per authority per annum, one under £1 million and one over £1 million, irrespective of which Heritage Lottery Fund programme is being applied for. This means that any applications submitted must be able to demonstrate the full endorsement of the Council and its strategic policy objectives. Page 1 of 4 The Issues 5. The Programme for Parks Partnership has been prepared to show the Council’s commitment to investment in parks and to set out a framework for achieving corporate aims in respect of parks. 6. Demonstration of the Council’s commitment to parks will be achieved by: · Preparation and implementation of a Parks and Green Spaces Strategy for Cardiff · Endorsement of a ten year programme of improvement to six historic parks in Cardiff 7. The appended programme delivers the requirements set out in the Ambitions for Cardiff 2003 – 2004 in terms of safeguarding the major parks and gardens of Cardiff and delivering the infrastructure improvements at Cooper’s Fields. 8. Both the programme and the individual projects contained within it will be managed within the Council’s Project Quality Assurance management system. 9. Full details of the proposed programme are appended to this report. Reasons for Recommendations 10. Corporate support for the Programme for Parks Partnership is required to demonstrate the Council’s commitment to parks for the benefit of potential funding partners, including the Heritage Lottery Fund. Page 2 of 4 ADVICE This report has been prepared in consultation with Corporate Managers and reflects their collective advice. It contains all the information necessary to allow Members to arrive at a reasonable view, taking into account the advice contained in this section. The Corporate Manager responsible for this report is Tom Morgan. Legal Implications The Executive may approve such strategies that are not reserved to the Council and may incur expenditure in pursuance thereof if such expenditure is within the approved Budget. It must also be recognised that the Council cannot fetter its discretion in future years although it may be bound to honour contractual commitments. The Deputy Leader within whose portfolio the function falls has delegated authority under the Executive Scheme to agree the submission of bids for additional resources from Government and other agencies. All decisions taken by or on behalf of the Council must (a) be within the legal powers of the Council; (b) comply with any procedural requirement imposed by law; (c) be within the powers of the body or person exercising powers on behalf of the Council; (d) be undertaken in accordance with the procedural requirements imposed by the Council e.g. standing orders and financial regulations; (e) be fully and properly informed; (f) be properly motivated; (g) be taken having regard to the Council's fiduciary duty to its taxpayers; and (h) be reasonable and proper in all the circumstances. Financial Implications Funding for Phase 1 of the Partnership Programme, Bute Park, will be financed from Section 106 contributions. It is intended to use appropriate Section 106 contributions for all future phases to minimise requirement for capital provision in the Council’s capital programme for any of these Projects. Future projects will be considered through the project appraisal monitoring process if Council resources are required for the schemes. Any additional revenue Costs would need to be considered within the annual Budget setting process. Consequences Approval to proceed in accordance with this report will enable the Council to deliver its Corporate objectives in respect of parks and will also enable the Programme for Parks Partnership to be formally launched as part of the 2005 celebrations for Cardiff. The programme, if agreed, will involve partnership working both within the Council and with other external organisations. BYRON DAVIES Chief Executive 29 January 2004 Page 3 of 4 Background Papers: None RECOMMENDATIONS Cabinet is requested to agree: (1) Parks Strategic Policy Statement Cardiff’s parks and green spaces are a popular and precious resource, which make an essential contribution to the attractiveness of neighbourhoods, to the health and well being of local people, to the quality of the visitor experience, to the expansion of educational opportunities for young and old, to the economic viability of the city and to the quality of the city’s environment. The Council will continuously improve its policy framework in order to add value to the provision and care of parks and green spaces within Cardiff by: · Preparation of a parks and green spaces strategy · Preparation of a funding bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund on a phased basis, the first phase to be Bute Park (2) Delivery of the Parks Partnership Programme Cabinet approve the Parks Partnership Programme, as set out in the appended document, and the application for funding under the Heritage Lottery Fund’s Public Parks Initiative for Bute Park in the first instance. COUNCILLOR MARION DRAKE The following Appendix is attached: Parks Partnership Programme Page 4 of 4 Parks Partnership Programme PARKS PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMME 2004-2014 Parks & Gardens 2, Alexandra Gate Ffordd Pengam CARDIFF CF24 2SA Tel: 029 2068 4000 January 2004 Parks Partnership Programme Parks Partnership Programme Foreword from Councillor Marion Drake Deputy Leader (Culture & Sport) Cardiff is framed with parks and green spaces. The city is fortunate to have inherited a network of public spaces which exist because of the vision and foresight of public minded individuals who demanded that municipal expansion be matched with accessible green space to create a healthy and attractive environment. Over the last 10 years, these historic green spaces have been supplemented by a range of new, modern areas for recreational enjoyment. In the past 18 months, the establishment of CABE space in England and the launch of the Heritage Lottery Fund’s Public Parks Initiative have revived national interest in parks and encouraged Councils to consider how this rich parkland heritage can be safeguarded. However, aspirations and needs change through time. Cardiff Council acknowledges that there is much work to be done to ensure that our historic public parks can be passed on to future generations. I am delighted that the Council is supporting the Parks Partnership Programme as a demonstration of our commitment to the environment and heritage of our city and the well being of our citizens.

  • I T Has Been a Fantastic Start to the New Academic Year. We
    t has been a fantastic start to the new academic year. We have had a highly successful Year 6 and Sixth Form Open I Evening, and once again, have been overwhelmed with interest in studying at Cardiff High School. It is great to see such faith put in us by parents not just in this community but also across Cardiff. Much of this is based on our exceptional exam results. Last year 89% of all Year 11 students achieved 5 A*-C grades, the highest figure ever recorded in Wales with 36% of all students attaining 5A*-A grades including English and Maths. We were equally as proud that all Year 11 left with a minimum of 5 A*-G grades. In the Sixth Form, our students, both individually and collectively, achieved some of the highest results in Wales and the best yet for the school. Of course the school is so much more than this. It is a welcoming, caring environment with a wonderful Wellbeing and Achievement Team to support all pupils in their learning. While continuing to deliver high standards of education we have developed the school to successfully operate as a School Improvement Hub for the Central South Consortium. The school has been at the forefront of the improvement hub agenda and to date Cardiff High School staff have been involved in providing training and professional learning opportunities for over 180 staff from the five neighbouring Local Authorities which make up the Central South Consortium region. In addition, we have become a recognised centre for excellence for the delivery of Welsh in English Medium schools.
