5 Concern about Newmarket Household Don Haymes, Contracts Manager, Waste Management Team, Cambridgeshire County Council provided the following Waste Recycling Centre proposed update: closure - will now continue as Charity- run facility - and object to new £3 - £12 Waste Disposal Authorities (i.e. Suffolk and Cambridgeshire County Councils) have a statutory duty to provide places "at which charges. residents in its area may deposit their household waste and for the disposal of waste so deposited" and "each place is available for the deposit of waste free of charge by persons resident in the area."

In seeking to identify savings of between £110m - 125m over the next four years, with an immediate need to find £42m savings in 2011/12, Suffolk County Council identified savings of £2.3m in the Council's waste services. This has resulted in the decision to close 7 of the 18 Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) and reduce the opening hours at the remaining sites. The 7 sites that were to close on 9 May 2011 are Beccles, Bramford, Brome, Chelmondiston, Ingham, Newmarket and Southwold, all, but Ingham, had a reprieve until 31st July 2011.

Cambridgeshire County Council was advised of these changes on 16th February, with a Press Release being issued on the same day. They were approved at the Full Council meeting of Suffolk County Council on 17th February. The apparent reasons for the choice of the Newmarket site over Mildenhall was less coverage with a greater amount of cross border waste.

The Newmarket HWRC receives approximately 3,800 tonnes with some 50,000 visits. This makes the site, in terms of tonnage, about 60% of that presented at the Grunty Fen site. A recent survey carried out on the site showed that over half lived outside Suffolk (viz. ). The most common materials brought to the site were plastic bottles (13%) and wood / timber (11%). The percentage of plastics is much higher than any other Suffolk HWRCs. The management fee saved by closing the Newmarket site will be £214,000.

In seeking to explore the options Members and Officers from the two County Councils met on 13th April. This initiated further discussions with officers of East Cambridgeshire and Forest Heath District Councils and Newmarket Town Council. A meeting was held on 27th April with Open Door, a church based charity that has a reuse operation close to the Newmarket Household Waste Recycling Centre, between Cllr Chambers (Suffolk County Council) and officers from Cambridgeshire County, Suffolk County and Forest Heath District Councils. This developed a proposal by which the site would be run by Open Door at no cost to Suffolk County Council. For Cambridgeshire County Council the Newmarket site provides a service which benefits Cambridgeshire residents that can equally use facilities within the County (e.g. Grunty Fen and Milton). Further, as Cambridgeshire County Council is heavily investing in a new purpose built site at Witchford adequate provisions are available to serve East Cambridgeshire.

Suffolk County Council and Forest Heath District Council each own part of the current HWRC land. Suffolk County Council has offered to lease its part of the site to the District for a "peppercorn rent" and in turn for them to do so for the whole site to the charity to support this local solution. Newmarket Town Council are providing £15,000 in set up costs for this proposal and Forest Heath District Council is effectively acted as guarantor with a possible small contribution. This is likely to be for capital items only involved in the set up of the organisation with regards to Equipment, PPE, Training and other associated items. Newmarket Open Door is going to be entering in to arrangements with professional waste companies who will handle the Waste, Wood, Green Waste, Metals and waste electrical and electronic equipment. A number of the other materials are going to be handled locally and even bailed and transported by Open Door to obtain best value for the material.

The trustees of Newmarket Open Door are to confirm the business case, if they will be going for full VAT registration and also setting up a trading company. Subject to communicating the change it is intended that the new operation, as a Reuse and Recycling Centre, should commence on the 22nd August 2011 operating 7 days a week, 10 am to 4 pm basis with a "pay as you throw" charge likely to be around £3 per vehicle.

6 Brinkley: No consultation on closure of See above update. Newmarket HWRC – not acceptable. 7 Need for on-going liaison with Cllr Warick Hirst (Newmarket Town Council) was invited to the October Neighbourhood Panel meeting. Newmarket Town Council & Forest Health District Council to address cross-border issues (also remember these affect Fordham, Chippenham, Kennett & Snailwell). Current Issues

East Cambridgeshire District Council has been working with the East Cambridgeshire Family Project (ECFP), an independent charity and King Street Housing Society to provide a new project for people fleeing domestic violence and this will open in the first week in October. A house has been leased through King Street to provide short-term accommodation for two families where they can get specialist counselling and support and the very successful “freedom programme” before being moved on to suitable permanent housing by the Council. The “Freedom Programme” is a nationally recognized programme designed to help women to break the cycle of repeated abusive relationships, to recognize when a prospective partner shows signs of this behaviour and to take constructive steps to deal with it. People will be referred through the Council’s Housing Advice Team after a specialist assessment. The project is not for those fleeing very violent abusers who may follow them - these will still be sent to specialist refuges.

This is a welcome addition to council services, which has been provided at very little cost by working with a charitable organization and it is a particularly welcome improvement to domestic violence services since the Council had to end the Sanctuary Scheme a year ago through lack of funding.

Priorities: Priority - Newmarket/Suffolk cross-border issues Objective To improve communication and links with Newmarket/Suffolk to ensure residents are not disadvantaged by living in rural areas close to another County. Lead Agency Action Taken Current Relevant officers of Cambridgeshire County Council will willingly engage with all relevant bodies, agencies and local authorities in cases where such action is Situation required to address a community issue affecting localities within the County.

However, the only cross-border issue that seems to have been raised is the one relating to railway bridge warning signage. A County Council response to that particular issue has been provided in the Other Issues section of this document.

It is not clear what disadvantage the residents living close to the border with Suffolk feel that they are suffering. If it is an issue in respect of which Cambridgeshire County Council has powers to act, the authority would undertake the necessary investigations and action. If this required a dialogue with service providers outside of Cambridgeshire, this would take place.

Continue or Discharge. Any specific issues which require Cambridgeshire County Council involvement will be dealt with as normal business. Discharge?

Other Issues:

Number Issue Action Taken 1 Reduction in speed limit Under new policy adopted recently by the County Council, local communities could request a change to this speed limit, required between Burrough provided that the community, probably via the Parish Council, would meet the associated costs of the process. Details of the Green and Westley Waterless new policy were sent to Town and Parish Councils in mid-June 2011 (40 > 30 on B road through village). The new policy can be found on the County Council’s website:

http://cccs086/db/council2.nsf/c3cf865e3cc1131380256a6b0037e439/e2845e9b878413dc8025785e004d50ed?OpenDocument

The County Council has already received a number of requests under the revised approach. If Town and Parish Councils have specific locations upon which they would like advice, they are welcome to approach the County Council’s Highways and Access Service.

It should be noted that the new approach only relates to speed limits within settlements and not rural lengths of road between. 2 Inadequate road signage and The responsibility for dealing with this issue lies with Network Rail, as the owner of the structure. If is felt that if Network Rail rail bridge warning, long- considered advisory signage to be an issue of concern, the company would be entering into a dialogue with the relevant Local standing problem in Highway Authority. Woodditton. Any scheme for signage improvement works would need to be led by Network Rail - not by Cambridgeshire County Council or Suffolk County Council – with agreement from the company that it would meet the costs involved.

The Highways and Access Team at Cambridgeshire County Council does not possess the resources to investigate matters which are not deemed as priorities for the Local Highway Authority. County Councillors have decided that spending by the Highways and Access Service should be prioritised by ongoing objective assessment of network condition, accident occurrence etc. However, that service will not stand in the way where communities wish to step up and bridge the gap.

Current Issues:

Pupils take fairer funding campaign to Parliament Pupils from Cambridgeshire schools went to London in a bid to secure more funding for the county's schools. Cambridgeshire receives less Government cash per pupil than any other county in the eastern region. It receives just £4,644 per pupil, compared with £4,816 for Essex and £5,169 for Peterborough. Neighbouring counties such as Lincolnshire, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Northamptonshire and Suffolk all receive more money than Cambridgeshire.

Cambridgeshire is ranked 143rd out of 151 local authorities for funding - down from 132nd last year. Peterborough is the 55th best-funded authority in the country. If Cambridgeshire was funded at the national average of £5,082 per pupil, this would mean nearly £35m more for Cambridgeshire's schools - or an extra £441 per pupil.

The pupils - from Chesterton Village College, Bottisham Village College, Milton Road Primary School and Swaffham Bulbeck Primary School - joined the Cambridgeshire Schools Forum for the visit to London. The Cambridgeshire Schools Forum - chaired by Bottisham Village College Chair of Governors Philip Hodgson - is leading the campaign to secure a fairer funding deal for Cambridgeshire, supported by Cambridgeshire County Council and the region's MPs. Cambridgeshire's six MPs have already written a joint letter to Education Secretary Michael Gove, calling for an end to the current funding system and a fairer method of distributing money to schools. The group met North East Cambridgeshire MP Steve Barclay and Department for Education (DfE) Director of Funding Sarah Healey as part of their lobbying. Sanctuary Housing – Action Updates:

Previous Priorities: None set

Current issues: About Sanctuary Hereward

Across the East of Sanctuary Housing (including Sanctuary Hereward) currently manages over 8,000 homes within 32 local authority areas. Our largest concentrations of homes are within East Cambridgeshire (3196) and Ipswich (698). We are part of Sanctuary Group, a provider of housing and associated services, managing over 79,000 units of accommodation throughout England and Scotland, including general rented, sheltered, supported accommodation, student and key worker accommodation and care homes. The whole business is under a not-for-profit umbrella and all surpluses go back into developing services, new accommodation and maintaining our existing properties.

Our priorities within the East region over the next three years are to:  Involve and empower tenants to improve our services.  Improve and maintain the physical aspects our residents homes.  Let our homes in a fair and transparent way, taking into account the needs and aspirations of our current and potential residents.  Maintain the local environment in which our residents live, work with residents to make their local area a better place to live and ensure that our residents can live peacefully within their home.  Provide services to our residents that represent quality and value for money.

One of the initiatives we have employed to meet our priorities is the use of the “Good Neighbour Charter”, this agreement signed by all new tenants highlights their responsibilities to their neighbours and the wider community. Issues included are:

 Noise: Think about their actions and the effects on others.  Communal areas: Keep clean and tidy.  Children: Know where they are to minimise disruption to others.  Visitors: Asking visitors to consider your neighbours when visiting.  Pets: Be a responsible pet owner.  Cars and parking: Park your car thoughtfully.  Private Gardens: Take pride in your home and garden.

Our request to all residents is: “ Please try and be a good neighbour rather than a nuisance and follow this guidance”

Alan Savill is the Housing Officer for the South panel area, and he will work closely with tenants to minimise disputes, offer support and advice and where necessary take enforcement action to ensure that tenancy conditions are complied with.

Regular estate visits are carried out across the panel areas by housing officers to ensure that both properties and areas are in a maintained condition. Recent inspections have resulted in:

 Tenants with overgrown gardens being asked to manage them more effectively.  Parking of vehicles on properties without legally required “dropped kerbs”  The removal of un-roadworthy vehicles from properties.  Work with tenants to identify drainage problems.  Speedy responses to fly tipping on Sanctuary managed areas.  Identification of abandoned properties still attracting housing benefit.

Please Note Incident levels for each of the wards may not be consistent with the official figures that will be published by the Force and Home Office. This is because the data system used to draw the level of detail needed for the ASB type breakdown for this report may not contain precise locations due to the way incidents are reported e.g. ASB reported where ward boundaries lie could initially be recorded in the neighbouring ward but subsequently corrected.

The figures should only be used as a guide and not regarded as official statistics for publication. t e n
