This includes management of the investment programme to deliver investment to maintain a viable financial business plan for the Company and the Council’s Housing Revenue Account. The Vision of the Company is “delivering excellent Housing Services”. Newark and Sherwood Homes will deliver through our Mission by: Managing and maintaining homes to agreed standards and offering services to support vulnerable people in the community and their own homes Engaging with our customers, tenants, residents, the public, and staff to get the best possible service for every pound spent Building homes for local people and providing opportunities for people to access the housing they need Encouraging tenant involvement in the management of their homes Business Review - Financial results Under the Management Agreement with the Council, the Company received a fee of £7.7m to manage an average stock of 5,444 properties on behalf of the Council. The Company also manages 7 of its own properties. The total turnover for the Company for the year was £8.7M (compared to £9.3M during 2014/15). This comprised of rental from the letting of its own properties, the Management Fee, other Management Fee income for managing the capital programme, programmes delivered via secured grant funding and the Feed-In Tariff from previous investment in the solar panels. During the year the Company invested or allocated resources of £2.02M in the provision of new social housing within the District through developing assets of the Company and through financial support to Newark and Sherwood District Council. The recognised gain on the statement of total comprehensive income was £475k for 2015/16 (compared to a loss of £1,323k for 2014/15), £1,313k of which relates to the actuarial gain recognised on the pension liability. There was a loss on ordinary activities of £838k, which was incurred after making a contribution of £1,220k to NSDC in relation to the development 32 properties as part of the 2015-18 affordable homes programme. A total of £1,026k was transferred to reserve balances.

Performance Measure 2015/16 Target 2015/16 Performance Rent collection 96.25% 99.27% Void rent loss 2% 0.7% Properties at decent homes 100% 100% standard Average re-let time days 18 Days 16 days Reactive repairs within target 98.9% 98.66% time Customer Satisfaction 90% 93% Business Review - Business Environment and Principal Risks Newark and Sherwood Homes has a thirty year Management Agreement to provide services for Newark and Sherwood District Council which came into effect from October 2013. During this year the Company has worked jointly with the Council to undertake a strategic review of the Housing Revenue Account and growth delivery mechanisms to achieve the Company and the Councils growth aspirations and longer term housing vision and strategy. The Company has also focused on the delivery of its growth strategy through the requirement to deliver efficiencies and inward investment targets and both targets were successfully achieved which released finance for the Company to align to build on its land during the next financial year. The challenging economic climate and national Government policy continues to impact on the Company and is expected to have a longer term impact on our customers and our operating environment. The Management Agreement requires an annual 3% efficiency and the Company’s fee is reduced accordingly with a rebasing at year 4 (2017/18). The Company recognises that managing risk is a critical element in achieving its vision and mission. The Company has a Risk Management Strategy which sets out the risk management approach and responsibilities and has a risk register and matrix which is reviewed monthly by the Board. As at March 2016 there were no high rated risks identified. Future Developments There are significant challenges and opportunities ahead for Newark and Sherwood Homes and we are looking forward to building on what has already been achieved. Focus for the following year: i. Expanding the financial business plan to a thirty year to support further strategic planning and effective long term financial management. 5 ii. Working with the Council to establish the rebasing of the management fee for 2017/18.

  • Position Statement for Prescribing for the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction Following a Public Consultation, the Department Of
    Position Statement for Prescribing for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction Following a public consultation, the Department of Health has amended regulations relating to prescribing restrictions for erectile dysfunction (ED), in primary care. The regulations came in to force on 1st August 2014 and do not affect secondary care. SLS indication Generic sildenafil has been removed from the restricted list. GPs and other prescribers are now free to prescribe it without restriction, for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. The ‘SLS’ indication with which a prescriber would have previously endorsed a prescription, now no longer applies. This change only applies to generic sildenafil. The Viagra® brand and the other PDE-5 inhibitors (such as tadalafil) can still only be prescribed at NHS expense if the patient meets the SLS criteria specified in part XVIIIB of the drug tariff. Consequences for private prescribing Changes to the availability of generic sildenafil on the NHS mean that some of those patients who previously received this treatment on a private basis, may now be eligible for NHS prescription. In these cases, GPs should supply treatment on an NHS prescription and not on a private prescription. Quantity of supply However these regulations do not change the position around the quantity of supply. The information provided by the NHS Executive in Health Service Circular 1999/148 issued in June 1999 around the supply of treatments for erectile dysfunction, has yet to be superseded. The Health Circular states that treatment should be considered on a case by case basis but that research evidence indicates that the average frequency of sexual intercourse in the 40- 60 year old age range is once a week.

  • Nottinghamshire
    Rates Retention Scheme: Pooling Proposal 1. Pool title or description Nottinghamshire County Pool – all local authorities in Nottinghamshire (excluding Nottingham City Council, Nottinghamshire Fire Authority and Nottinghamshire Police Authority) 2. Lead Contact for pool; Paul Simpson Director of Finance & Procurement Nottinghamshire County Council County Hall West Bridgford, Nottingham, NG2 7QP 01159 773441 [email protected] 3. Local authorities included in pool: Nottinghamshire County Council, Ashfield District Council, Mansfield District Council, Gedling Borough Council, Bassetlaw District Council, Broxtowe Borough Council, Newark & Sherwood District Council and Rushcliffe Borough Council. 4. Counties and / or Local Enterprise Partnership(s) pool covers: The pooling area covers Nottinghamshire County, being the two-tier area comprising the County Council and the District Councils of Ashfield, Bassetlaw, Broxtowe, Gedling, Mansfield, Newark & Sherwood and Rushcliffe. At this time, the pool excludes Nottingham City Council and the Nottinghamshire Police and Fire authorities. The pooling area reflects longstanding relationships and service integration between the County and District levels and in part, relationships with the D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). 5. What is the aim / rationale for the pool? Please briefly describe: As referenced above, the pool builds on the already strong and well-established service relationships, with the overall aim of growing the local economy. Specifically, opportunities will be exploited to enhance the pool through links to wider funding sources such as the D2N2 LEP’s Growing Places Funding and potentially, European Funding where that exists. This will allow the partners to prioritise activity that increases the competitiveness of the area and stimulates private sector economic growth. It will also allow for the planning of economic growth across the functional economic area covered by the pool rather than being constricted by local authority administrative boundaries.

  • A Report on St Wilfrid's Church, Kelham
    A Report on St Wilfrid’s Church, Kelham By Judith Mills including a summary of the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Medieval Graffiti Survey 1 Acknowledgments This report combines research carried out for events held in St Wilfrid’s Church, research by other projects and research done specifically for the Kelham Revealed! Project. In particular I’d like to thank The Southwell and Nottingham Church History project, especially Dr Chris Brooke and Geoff Buxton for permission to use their photographs and information provided on the website. The Duke of Rutland for access to his private archive and Peter Foden, the archivist there whose help and knowledge were invaluable. The Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Medieval Graffiti Project, in particular Andy Hoe for providing their report. Philip Staniforth and Martin Cooper for use of their photographs. Dr Judith Mills Project Volunteer 2 Report on St Wilfrid’s Church, Kelham Summary The records for Kelham Church are patchy, with considerable gaps, nevertheless it is possible to build a picture of building, remodelling and refurbishment, as well as changing beliefs and responsibilities. These are outlined in detail in the following report. Notable points are: Building: 12th Century The Church was built, probably by one or more prominent landowners which gave them the right, called the Advowson, to appoint the priest. 14th Century North and South arcades built, suggesting the Church was widened and side aisles added. Recent work in Church has revealed two sculpture niches and aumbry at the east end of the South Aisle and opened up the ‘squint’ to the high altar. 15th Century Tower added, windows and other parts of Church modified.
