4. MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING

RESOLVED:

That the Minutes of the meeting held on 18 January 2016 be confirmed as a correct record.

5. PUBLIC FORUM

The following matters had been submitted for consideration during the Public Forum:

(A) Fly tipping in rear entries in Hawthorne Road area Question by Julie Peters

Julie Peters complained about the growing issue with fly tipping in the Hawthorne Road area and especially in rear entries; and asked what was being done to resolve this problem and whether any action had been taken against culprits. Ms Peters concluded by seeking information on the rear entry cleansing rota.

Mr. Gary Berwick, Cleansing Services Manager, had responded in writing to Ms. Peters.

(B) Anti-social behaviour, cannabis farms and Landlord Licensing Scheme – Question by Julie Peters

Julie Peters complained about the significant increase in anti-social behaviour cases, drug dealing and properties being let out and being used as cannabis farms and asked what was the Council doing to ensure that streets were safer places and what checks were in place to vet landlords and make sure that properties were rented out for legitimate reasons. Ms Peters concluded by asking would it be an idea to implement a Landlords’ Licensing Scheme similar to that operated by Liverpool City Council.

RESOLVED:

That the Head of Communities and the Head of Regeneration and Housing be requested to investigate the points raised by Ms. Peters and respond to her in writing.

(C) Fly tipping at Wadham, Miranda, Bedford, Stanley, Hawthorne Road area – Question by Helen Jones

Helen Jones complained about the amount of fly tipping around the Wadham/Miranda/Bedford/Stanley/Hawthorne Roads area; and asked what the Council could do to apprehend fly tipping offenders; whether community skips could be re-introduced; and whether a designated Council vehicle could be utilised once a month to help

Page2 6 Agenda Item 3 SOUTH SEFTON AREA COMMITTEE- THURSDAY 30TH JUNE, 2016

resolve the problem.

Mr. Gary Berwick, Cleansing Services Manager, had responded in writing to Ms. Jones.

(D) Parking problems at the top of Gloucester Road and Oxford Road – Question by Bernard Doyle

Bernard Doyle complained about parking problems at the top of Gloucester Road/Oxford Road. Mr. Doyle indicated that it was extremely difficult for residents to park in this area due to office workers from nearby offices parking there and walking down Merton Road to work; and requested that the Council introduce a residents only parking scheme and offset the cost of any implementation by billing the developers of the new proposed housing for over 55s at the same location. Mr. Doyle concluded that once these new apartments were built there would be inadequate parking spaces available on the new builds plot and that the overflow of cars would then occupy more of Gloucester Road.

Mr. Dave Marrin, Manager – Highways Management had responded in writing to Mr. Doyle.

Mr. Doyle asked as a supplementary question for clarity on Mr. Marrin’s response. For instance, he indicated that he had been told that Sefton Council didn’t have a budget for RPP’s yet Wadham Road and surrounding streets had been granted residential parking. Furthermore, the development Mr. Doyle referred to on Gloucester Road did not provide, in his opinion, enough car parking spaces per the Council’s agreed standards.

RESOLVED:

That the Manager - Highways Management be requested to respond in writing to the points raised by Mr. Doyle in his supplementary question.

(E) Condition of Derby Park Conservation Area – Question by Michael Brennan

Michael Brennan asked what were the Council's plans for the abandoned building site, that was an eyesore, on Litherland Road next to the Stanley Arms Public House and indicated that this site was within the Derby Park Conservation area. Mr. Brennan continued that not enough was being done to preserve the history and character of the Conservation Area and cited as examples that the recently painted exterior of the Stanley Arms required immediate attention and that there were rusting cast iron street signs and other signs of neglect in the area. Mr. Brennan concluded by asking what could the Council do to prevent any

Page3 7 Agenda Item 3 SOUTH SEFTON AREA COMMITTEE- THURSDAY 30TH JUNE, 2016

further deterioration of the situation and to preserve what was left of Bootle's Heritage.

RESOLVED:

That the Head of Regeneration and Housing be requested to investigate the points raised by Mr. Brennan and respond to him in writing.

(F) Dog Fouling – South Park, Olivia Street and Stanley Road area – Question by Heather Nielson

Heather Nielson asked why were people not getting fined over allowing their dogs to foul in public areas and requested that action be taken to resolve the problem .Ms Nielson concluded that the problem was particularly bad around the Olivia Street, Stanley Road and South Park area and that warning signs or extra dog wardens patrolling in the area would help.

Mr. Steve Smith, Environmental Health and Trading Standards Manager, had responded in writing to Ms. Nielson . (G) Drain Cleaning in the Wadham/Hawthorne/Stanley Road area – Question by Letty Draper

Letty Draper asked would it be possible to have the drains in Wadham Road cleaned (between Stanley and Hawthorne Roads) as the road was continually flooded after heavy rain and took days to eventually drain.

Mr. Andrew Sawyer, Highways Management Manager, had responded in writing to Ms. Draper.

(H) Drug Dealing in and around the Mons public house car park – Question by a resident of Hillhead Road

A resident of Hillhead Road asked what was being done about the constant drug dealing in and around the Mons public house car park and in particular directly behind properties in Hillhead Road. The questioner indicated that residents were being woken up in the early hours of the morning by cars full of people who it was alleged were dealing drugs.

(I) Street Cleansing, Gully Cleansing and Weed Removal in the Bootle area – Question by Alice McKenna

Alice McKenna complained about the cleansing situation in Bootle and asked why no street cleaning took place, no weeding was ever undertaken as the pavements were looking more like overgrown grass verges and sewers/grids were never cleared. Ms. McKenna concluded that all of the above problems was causing Bootle to be

Page4 8 Agenda Item 3 SOUTH SEFTON AREA COMMITTEE- THURSDAY 30TH JUNE, 2016

overrun with rats.

Mr. Gary Berwick, Cleansing Services Manager, had responded in writing to Ms. McKenna.

(J) Free parking for office staff in the Bootle area – Question by Andrew Foy

Andrew Foy stated that given the high number of public sector staff in Bootle and the outlay for residential parking, did the Council have any plans to secure free parking to suit both parties rather than drive away business.

Mr. Dave Marrin, Manager – Highways Management had responded in writing to Mr. Foy.

(K) 20mph Zones in the Oxford Road area – Question by Ann Rothwell

Ann Rothwell indicated that drivers had total disregard for the 20 mph speed limit on the stretch of Oxford Road between Southport Road and Hawthorne Road, that was used regularly as a 'rat run' for motorists wishing to avoid the Traffic Lights at Breeze Hill. Accordingly, the volume of traffic was consistently high, especially in the rush hours. Ms. Rothwell continued that It was increasingly difficult to safely drive off, or park on driveways due to the flow of speeding traffic and the obstruction of parked cars; and that the problem was compounded by being in close proximity to Primary Schools and a large Secondary School, as well as an access road to Derby Park. This meant that there were many child pedestrians using this Oxford Road on a daily basis. Ms. Rothwell concluded that she was extremely concerned that it was only a matter of time before there was a serious or fatal incident and asked if there was any way to address this problem.

RESOLVED:

That the Manager - Highways Management be requested to respond in writing to the points raised by Ms. Rothwell.

(L) Residents’ Privileged Parking Zone in the Bedford Road area – Question by Annmarie Prescott

Annmarie Prescott asked why were residents in the Bedford Road area being penalised by having to pay £30 for a resident’s parking permit; and why would it cost £30 to renew a permit. Ms. Prescott indicated that the problem was being caused by Hugh Baird College tutors and students parking in the area because no facilities were provided by the college.

Page5 9 Agenda Item 3 SOUTH SEFTON AREA COMMITTEE- THURSDAY 30TH JUNE, 2016

RESOLVED:

9. WILDLIFE AND COUNTRYSIDE ACT 1981, SECTION 53, CONTINUOUS REVIEW OF THE PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY DEFINITIVE MAP & STATEMENT

The Committee considered the report of the Head of Locality Services – Commissioned that sought authority to modify the Definitive Map and Statement of public rights of way to show the section 116 Highways Act 1980 – Stopping Up of Highways Order 2015 of Part of Bootle Footpath No.1, Sefton on the rights of way network.

The report indicated that Bootle Footpath No.1 formed a link from Parkfield Avenue, Netherton to Heysham Road; that In September 2015 a Highway Stopping Up Order pursuant to section 116 of the Highways Act 1980 was made by South Sefton Magistrates for part of the path; that the purpose of the Stopping Order was to enable construction of new housing and improvements to the existing footpath; and that the new housing was subject to a section 38 Highways Act 1980 Agreement, whereby on completion of the development areas of roadway and footway serving it would be adopted by the Authority as highway maintainable at public expense and would be available for use by the public.

RESOLVED:

That the Head of Regulation and Compliance be authorised to make a Definitive Map Legal Event Modification Order under Section 53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to show the effect of the Stopping Up of Highways Order 2015 of Part of Bootle Footpath No.1 shown as the line B- C on drawing no.DC1564 on the Definitive Rights Of Way Map and Statement.

10. RESULTS OF CONSULTATION - PROPOSED RESIDENTS PRIVILEGED PARKING SCHEME, WADHAM ROAD AREA BOOTLE

Further to Minute No. 28 of 18 January 2016 the Committee considered the report of the Head of Locality Services – Commissioned on the results of the recent public consultation on the proposed introduction of a Residents Privileged parking scheme in the Wadham Road area of Bootle and to recommend the way forward.

The report indicated that a petition from residents regarding on-street parking conditions in the Wadham Road area had been considered by the Committee at its meeting on 18 January 2016; and that subsequent to the

Page 1418 Agenda Item 3 SOUTH SEFTON AREA COMMITTEE- THURSDAY 30TH JUNE, 2016

meeting, discussions were held with Derby and Linacre Ward Members on possible solutions to the parking problem. It was identified that the best solution to the parking problem was the introduction of a Residents Privileged Parking (RPP) scheme; and the report advised that it was now Council policy that no new RPP schemes would be introduced within Sefton unless funded from external funds, e.g Developer contributions (S106) or from delegated Ward budgets. Derby and Linacre Ward Members had indicated that they were willing to fund an RPP scheme from their Ward budgets; and that further to the discussions it was agreed that a consultation with residents be carried out regarding the introduction of a proposed Residents Privileged parking scheme.

The report also detailed the results of the consultation exercise and indicated that given the nature of the responses it was proposed to introduce a Residents parking scheme in the full length of Wadham Road, Bedford Road, Queens Road (between its junctions with Bedford Road and Viola Street) and Kings Road (between its junctions with Wadham Road and Bedford Road); that the scheme would be in operation from Monday to Friday and between the hours of 9.00am and 5.00pm (a plan showing the existing and proposed Residents parking areas was shown in Annex B to the report); as shown on the plans in Annex A, limited waiting parking restrictions were proposed at the junctions of Stanley Road with Bedford Road, Stanley Road with Wadham Road, Hawthorne Road with Wadham Road and Hawthorne Road with Bedford Road; and that the limited waiting would operate Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 5.00pm and waiting would be limited to one hour, no return within one hour.

RESOLVED:

That consideration of this item be deferred to enable further consultation with local residents.

11. DATE OF NEXT MEETING

RESOLVED:

That in accordance with the agreed schedule of meetings for this Area Committee, the next meeting will be held on Wednesday, 7 September 2016, at The Town Hall, Bootle commencing at 6:30pm.

Central Area Committee Report For period 1st September – 1st December 2016

SOUTH SEFTON Linacre, Litherland & Derby Neighbourhood Inspector: Ian Jones

Ward Report for: Linacre & Derby

ASB. I am glad to report that there has been a large reduction in reports of ASB in the South/Kings park. A lot of work has been put in by partners, Cllrs, resident groups and my team to achieve this.

We have however had a rise in reports in nearby locations on Hawthorne Road and my team are addressing these issues.

ACQUISITIVE CRIME There have been 30 reports of burglary (or attempt) in a dwelling in this period. One person has been arrested and charged for one offence and another male has been arrested with the investigation ongoing for another. 2 of the offences were domestic related. 1 male has also been arrested for theft of timber from one offence. The Sefton Neighbourhood support team are currently assisting my team with an operation to combat burglaries in dwellings in our area and I hope to report some success to you in the next report.

There have been 10 theft of pedal cycles with 4 having the locking device cut. One was advertised on ‘Gumtree’ and a potential purchaser asked for test ride and did not return.

There have been 13 theft from motor vehicles in this last period which is a massive reduction and is as a result of enforcement on a number of key nominals in this area.

Robbery –

There have been 10 reports of Robbery with two named offenders being given for the majority of them. Investigations are ongoing to enable detention/charge of the two suspects.

Hate Crime – As mentioned above, there has been a rise in ASB in the Hawthorn Road area. This has included verbal abuse at local shopkeepers which included racist remarks. This is being investigated by the Sigma unit and my team are working with the shopkeepers and local public to prevent further offences

Page 21 Agenda Item 5

Critical Incidents: There was a firearm discharge in Cambridge Road in September. This was a targeted attack and is still under investigation by MSOC. ------

Ward Report for: Litherland.

ASB.

The reports of ASB has remained low and as a result we have no vulnerable victims listed in this area at present.

ACQUISITIVE CRIME

There have been 0 reports of theft of pedal cycles in this period which is very impressive.

There have been 14 reports of burglary in a dwelling and 2 burglary in a building other than dwelling. This is a large reduction after a number of key individuals have been arrested and now serving sentences in prison.

There has been 6 reports of theft from motor vehicles with 2 being theft of registration plates and one insecure vehicle. Again this is a large reduction.

There have been 8 theft of motor vehicles with two persons arrested after being detained in one of the vehicles.

Robbery – There have been 0 reports of robbery in this period

Hate Crime – Similar to the last report there have been 2 hate crime offences, both public order offences and one with a named suspect (youth) who is being dealt with by the Sigma team.

Critical Incidents: None to report

------

Other News- all Wards

In January 2017, the BCU (Basic Command Unit) structure of Merseyside Police will change to a ‘Functional’ structure. As part of these changes, Neighbourhood Policing will be re-titled Community Policing under the ‘Local

Page 22 Agenda Item 5

Policing’ function. Sefton Local Policing teams will be managed by Superintendent Paul White and Chief Inspector Jerry Harris.

In essence this means that the current Sefton North & West Neighbourhoods will combine under one Inspector (Graham Fisher) as North Sefton Community Hub. The current South & East Sefton Neighbourhoods will combine under one Inspector as the South Sefton Community Hub. That Inspector will be myself from 9th January. The team will be based at Marsh Lane Police Station.

I will have responsibility for the following Wards:- Sudell,Park,Molyneux,St Oswald,Ford,Netherton & Orrell, Blundellsands, Church, Manor, Victoria, Litherland, Linacre and Derby.

The Force changes are designed to reflect the changing nature of Policing, and to improve our investigative, PVP (protecting vulnerable people) and intelligence functions. It has also been designed so that more Officers are available to respond to calls for service at key times during the day and night

Current Priorities

1) Protecting Vulnerable People (PVP) In line with Force & Sefton Policing prioritisation, Neighbourhood Officers are increasingly engaged with managing vulnerable victims, those under threat and those at risk of exploitation. Responses are often involved, intensive and require the implementation of various measures to protect victims, improve locations and bring pressure upon perpetrators. 2) Organised Gang Disruption The removal of firearms and dangerous individuals from circulation remains a priority. A series of warrants have been executed under the provisions of the Misuse of Drugs Act. These, combined with use of new ASB powers – are helping to keep gang activity disrupted.

Ongoing Neighbourhood Involved Initiatives:

 Burglary- Operation PUSH - targeted at reducing the number of burglaries in the area. Neighbourhood staff patrol is intelligence led using information researched by Police analysts. Neighbourhood PCSTO’s conduct Operation Handle, which involves trying door handles of properties and vehicles and if found insecure the staff provide security advice. Offenders who have been arrested for offences in our area are also managed and targeted. Victims who are visited following a burglary receive SMARTWATER.

Page 23 Agenda Item 5

 Operation PAYETTE – the weekly deployment of resources to tackle scrambler bike nuisance –following up intelligence, issuing warnings, effecting seizures and deterring offences.  OCG (Organised Criminal Groups) disruption. Inspector Jones manages this activity. Force & Sefton resources will be co-ordinated within his plan. Neighbourhood Officers may be required to assist with certain aspects of the plan.  VULNERABLE VICTIMS – supervision attend a fortnightly Partners meeting to agree control measures & review all Medium & High risk vulnerable victims.  THREAT MANAGEMENT – Neighbourhood will coordinate target- hardening, victim support and extra attention to those under threat  SARA Problem-Solving – there has been a change to the requirement to have a SARA in each WARD. Generally the expectation is that there will only be one SARA running at one time. We currently have got the SARA for South Park as discussed above.  TWITTER – the Neighbourhood is now on Twitter - @MerPolSthSefton

South Area Committee Report For period 1st Sept 2016 to 31st Dec 2016

EAST SEFTON

Neighbourhood Inspector: Phil Hatton

Year on Year Patterns

FORD.

ASB. Vehicle nuisance calls have reduced by 6% and Merseyside Police continue to commit increasing effort in relation to the general misuse of scrambler bikes. General ASB has increased in this period by 20%. With the main hotspots around Hatton Hill, Moss Lane and Ford Lane. As with previous years a disproportionate amount of calls was received during the Operation Banger week. On a positive note, there was no associated increase in criminal damage reports, and the number of targeted ASB incidents leading to vulnerable victims has declined significantly. Nevertheless, it is recognised that Ford has lost many of its dedicated Officers over the last 12 months, and this will be addressed during the current restructure of Local Policing.

ACQUISITIVE CRIME Good news. Overall Burglary levels are at down by 50%. 15 dwelling burglaries were recorded in the four months with three being ‘acquaintance’ related. Seven were attempts (no entry gained) and cars were stolen during three of the incidents. Three good arrests were made of burglars in December and no offences have been recorded for three weeks. Similar reductions experienced in the burglary (other than dwelling) category –only three sheds targeted. The ‘One Stop’ store on Ford Lane was targeted twice in the period but entry was not gained via the rear. Autocrime offences similarly fell- a 10% reduction in theft from motor vehicles offset and a 45% decrease (to seven) in theft of motor vehicles- three motor cycles and three involving opportunistic theft of the keys. No autocrime has been recorded for nearly a month.

SERIOUS CRIME Robbery Business- nil Personal - 23/11 – Male reports being assaulted and phone taken on Gorsey Lane.

Arson – four incidents. Two involved damage to motor vehicles. Two incidents targeted houses but did not result in any serious damage or harm. These incidents were targeted and subject to appropriate investigation.

Hate Crime – 4 crimes recorded. None involved any form of physical assault, but three incidents involving children using hateful language .One incident involved criminal damage and racist language at the ‘One Stop’, Ford Lane – CID working on identifying the offender.

Critical Incidents:

9th December – shotgun discharged at 19 yr. Old male in the Musker Drive area. Targeted incident resulting in leg injury. Arrests have been made and investigation continues.

Page 25 Agenda Item 5

Ward Report for: ST OSWALD.

ASB.

Scrambler bike calls reduced by 40% during the 4 month period. Similarly general ASB fell by 20%, and criminal damage was down 24%. The Marian Square locality has been a hot spot patrol locality in anticipation of the impending sign off for the Public Space Protection Order. There is evidence that there has been some displacement of calls from that particular locality to the Sefton and Pendle Estates, but the reductions overall are encouraging.

ACQUISITIVE CRIME

Burglary offences have increased slightly from last year’s very low numbers. In terms of burglary (dwelling) – there were 12 offences in the period. Four involved known associate/offenders and three were attempts with no entry two cars were stolen. No particular M.O was prevalent. Burglary (other than dwelling) –seven reports consisted of two businesses being targeted (Marian Square & Fleetwoods Lane), and five incidents involving sheds/garages. Only two motor vehicles stolen (down from 11), but an increase in theft from motor vehicle meant that autocrime overall remained at 2015 levels. Number plates were stolen in six cases, and the Premier Inn and Gym on Copy Lane experienced a spike of offences in their car parks- significantly, force was only needed to enter on three occasions.

SERIOUS CRIME

Robbery Personal 6/10 – male reports that his cycle is forcibly stolen in Marian Square are but declines to assist further. Business 7/12 – ‘Mini-market’ Dale Acre Drive. 3 offenders target cash machine but chased by challenged by counter staff and make off empty handed

Hate Crime –

One incident of a taxi driver being racially abused by a fare.

Arson Three incidents. Two involved the targeting of houses. Neither resulted in injury nor serious damage, but an offender has been arrested and charged. The other involved minor damage to a motor vehicle.

Critical Incidents:

4th October- Firearm discharge causes criminal damage to an address in Eden Vale. Targeted. 22nd October - Firearm discharge causes minor (pellet) injury to a 17 year old male on Fleetwoods Lane.

Page 26 Agenda Item 5

Ward Report for: NETHERTON & ORRELL.

ASB.

Overall ASB rose during the four months by 9 incidents (6%). The increase can be attributed to the estates around Northfield Road where there has been a prolonged spike in terms of youths causing annoyance. A correlating increase in criminal damage is also noted. Several members of the public have reported targeted ASB and are now receiving enhanced support and attention from the Neighbourhood Team. Similarly, offenders have begun to be identified and the appropriate interventions commenced. The locality has not previously flagged as a hotspot in this way. Other areas such as the Park Lane Estates are still experiencing relatively low levels of ASB.

ACQUISITIVE CRIME

Burglary offences rose overall by 8%. Of the nineteen incidents of burglary dwelling-eight were ‘attempts’, four were ‘acquaintance’ related and only 7 involved a theft loss. Four were car key incidents. Only six incidents of burglary (other than dwelling) were recorded – and loss was only suffered (from a shed) in one of these. Autocrime fell by 14%. Evidence suggests that opportunistic thieves are simply trying car door handles overnight, and that too many times vehicles are insecure with items left within. Two males have been arrested and the pattern has declined somewhat.

SERIOUS CRIME Robbery Business – 1/10 – Orrell ‘News & Wine’ – two males enter & demand money/cigarettes but are chased by counter staff who suffers minor injury. Personal - nil

Hate Crime – Two minor incidents. A security guard was racially abused detaining a shoplifter. Homophobic language was used in a dispute between school children.

Arson Only two minor wheelie bin fires reported.

Critical Incidents:

7th November - Firearm discharge causes criminal damage to an address in Hereford Drive. Matrix investigation into a targeted attack.

Page 27 Agenda Item 5

Current Neighbourhood Involved Initiatives:

 Burglary- Operation PUSH - targeted at reducing the number of burglaries in the area. Neighbourhood staff patrol is intelligence led using information researched by Police analysts. Offenders who have been arrested for offences in our area are also managed and targeted. Victims who are visited following a burglary receive a home security assessment and are offered target hardening support.  Operation BROOKDALE – the weekly deployment of resources to tackle scrambler bike nuisance –following up intelligence, issuing warnings, effecting seizures and deterring offences.  PVP (Protecting Vulnerable People) – Neighbourhood staff act as single points of contact for local care homes (young people) and are tasked to help prevent child sexual exploitation  OCG (Organised Criminal Groups) disruption. Inspector Hatton manages this activity. Force & Sefton resources will be co-ordinated within his plan. Neighbourhood Officers may be required to assist with certain aspects of the plan.  Operation Schoolgate – Ward Officers are expected to provide an intermittent presence outside local schools to deal with nuisance parking and inconsiderate driving. Although parking enforcement does primarily remain Sefton Council responsibility.  Community Speedwatch – police led operations have been conducted at key hot-spot locations. Community-led operations have been planned and will continue when other priorities permit  HAVE YOUR SAY Priorities- meetings and Newsletters will now move to a quarterly basis. However, there has to be an acceptance that PVP (protecting vulnerable people) will always be a priority.  VULNERABLE VICTIMS – supervision attend a fortnightly Partners meeting to agree control measures & review all Medium & High risk vulnerable victims.  THREAT MANAGEMENT – Neighbourhood will coordinate target- hardening, victim support and extra attention to those under threat  SARA Problem-Solving – Generally the expectation is that there will only be one SARA running at one time.  BIKE TAGGING – Awaiting delivery of more funded tags in addition to two mobile scanners.  TWITTER – the Neighbourhood is now on Twitter - @MerPol Copy Lane

1.0 Background

1.1 At its meeting held on 18 January 2016 the Area Committee considered the report of the Head of Regulation and Compliance that sought views for submission to the Cabinet Member – Regulatory, Compliance and Corporate services on the future of the South Sefton Area Committee and in particular on whether the Area Committee was the most effective way of engaging members of the public in Council business.

1.2 Members of the Committee and Local Advisory Group Members raised the following points in relation to the report:-

 Public attendance at South Sefton Area Committee had declined;  There were a number of methods of communicating with the public such as internet and twitter which were not so well developed when the Area Committees were established;  Having a larger South Sefton Committee compared to Area Committees covering just two wards did not encourage attendance as the meetings were not as easy to access and covered wider areas of interest;  Many Members of the Public seemed to be unaware of the meetings;  The reports in section C of the Agenda may not be of interest to many of the public who might attend;  Members indicated that the proposed review of Area Committees was timely, and there was a need for consultation with a view to providing a communication and engagement process with the public which reflected current needs and demands.

1.3 The Committee resolved (Minute No. 29) that the above mentioned views be endorsed for submission to the Cabinet Member - Regulatory, Compliance and Corporate Services.

2.0 Cabinet’s Consideration of the Issue

2.2 The Cabinet resolved that:-

(1) the results of the consultation and engagement process set out in Appendix 1 to the report be noted; and

Page 51 Agenda Item 9

1.0 BACKGROUND

1.1 In October 2015, South Sefton Area Committee approved a report to convert the western footpath of the A565 between Knowsley Road and Nelson Street to a shared use path for pedestrians and cyclists. The report outlined that this was the second part of a longer term proposal to develop a direct cycle route between Crosby and Liverpool. The first section of this project to convert the footpath between Potters Barn and the Port entrance and the construction of a signal controlled junction including Pedestrian/ Cycle Crossing was constructed in March 2015.

1.2 The second section of the route was funded principally through the Sustainable Transport Enhancements Package (STEP) of the Local Growth Fund, designed to support economic growth in the City Region. The STEP investments form a critical part of the Liverpool City Region Growth Plan and Strategic Economic Plan and are shaped around four interrelated packages of works, ‘Invest for Growth’, Sustainable Access to Employment’, ‘Low Carbon’ and ‘Visitor Economy’.

1.3 One of the elements of the STEP programme is the allocation of £480k to provide a cycle route along the A565 between Crosby and Bootle. This is matched by a contribution from the Integrated Transport Block (£50k) and Single Capital Pot contribution (£60k).

2.0 CYCLE IMPROVEMENTS A565 NELSON STREET TO REGENT ROAD

2.1 It is proposed to extend the recently completed cycle route along the A565 from Crosby to Nelson Street Bootle a further 170m along Derby Road to the junction with Miller’s Bridge and the 200m down Miller’s Bridge to Regent Road. As per the section to the north, there is very little direct frontage access along these lengths; very few pedestrians use this route with the exception of those accessing bus stops. Given the low level of pedestrian use, it is an appropriate location to consider a shared use path. In order to provide a surface suitable for cycling it is proposed to replace the existing flagged footway, which is unsuitable for cyclists, with a 2.5 - 3m wide bitmac surface. The wide footpath alongside Miller’s Bridge is currently in poor condition and this will be resurfaced in a combination of bitmac and pre-cast concrete flags.

2.2 This section of the route was omitted from the original scheme to facilitate a review of the options for connecting the A565 and Regent Road, whilst options were being developed for creating a cycle route along Regent Road as part of the North Liverpool Key Corridor Improvements.

2.3 During this process, an option of using Nelson Street has been considered, but was discounted as provision of a crossing point on Regent Road adjacent to Nelson Street would have had a detrimental impact on businesses on Regent Road through the loss of on street parking. There are currently waiting restrictions and no businesses with direct frontage access on Regent Road adjacent to the junction with Miller’s Bridge and so there would be no loss of

Page 52 Agenda Item 9

parking when a crossing point is provided in the future as part of the longer term proposal to develop a route further south to Liverpool City Centre.

2.4 As part of the proposals, in addition to resurfacing the footpaths and converting them to shared use, it is proposed to provide a small build out of the footpath on the corner of Nelson Street and Derby Road. This will improve visibility for and of cyclists and provide a safer crossing of Nelson Street. This has been designed in consultation and approval with the owner of the building on the corner, directly affected by the proposal. In addition, it is proposed to slightly realign the corner on the north side of the junction of Millers Bridge and Regent Road, this will allow the footway to be widened at this point, to provide greater forward visibility and minimise potential conflict between cyclists ad pedestrians. These improvements, together with the overall extent of the proposals are shown in the plan contained in ANNEX A.

2.5 It is proposed to continue the route further southwards in subsequent years as part of the longer term project to improve access to Liverpool from the north, being developed as part of the North Liverpool Key Corridors major scheme. Ultimately, the aim is to provide a strategic cycle route between Crosby and Liverpool. This will improve the links to the important employment locations of Waterloo, Bootle and Liverpool.

2.6 Proposals for remainder of the route along Regent Road will presented to the next meeting of the South Sefton Area Committee in March alongside the proposals for improvements to the A565, as part of the North Liverpool Key Corridor improvements.

3.0 CONSULTATION

3.1 Only one local business is directly affected by the proposals and they along with Merseytravel have been consulted during the preliminary design stage and the design amended to their satisfaction. As no residential properties are directly affected by the proposals, it is not proposed to undertake a formal public consultation exercise.

4.0 CONCLUSIONS

4.1 The existing route along the A565/ A5036 between Nelson Street and Regent Road, Bootle is not a suitable environment for cyclists. 4.2 Converting the existing footpaths along these lengths to shared use pedestrian/cycleway will extend the recently completed cycle route alongside the A565 from its current end point at Nelson Street, to connect with Regent Road, via Millers Bridge. This will connect link to the cycle route being developed along Regent Road to connect to Liverpool City Centre as part of the proposals which form the North Liverpool Key Corridor improvements being jointly undertaken with Liverpool City Council. This will provide a continuous segregated cycle route between Crosby and Waterloo and the City Centre for local residents.

Recommendation(s)

It is recommended that subject to confirmation from Linacre and Derby Ward Members regarding the funding for the scheme that Members:

(i) note the results of the consultation.

(ii) request Cabinet Member Locality Services to;

a) approve the introduction of the Residents Privileged Parking scheme in Wadham Road (part), Bedford Road (part), Miranda Road (part), Queens Road (part) and Kings Road (part), Bootle, together with associated ‘limited waiting’ restrictions as shown in Annex B.

the matter be referred to the appropriate Area committee for consideration in accordance with Rule 21 of Chapter 8 (Area Committees) of the Council’s Constitution.

How does the decision contribute to the Council’s Corporate Objectives?

Authorisation to advertise new Traffic Regulation Orders fall under the remit of Cabinet Member, Locality Services.

What will it cost and how will it be financed?

(A) Revenue Costs If Cabinet Member, Transportation approve the introduction of the RPP scheme, together with the additional waiting restrictions, all legal costs associated with making the new Traffic Regulation Order(s) and providing carriageway markings and signs, amounting to a total cost of £8200, would be split and funded accordingly from the delegated budgets for Linacre (£5700) and Derby (£2500) Wards.

(B) Capital Costs None

1.0 BACKGROUND

1.1 A report detailing the results of the original consultation with residents regarding on-street parking conditions in Wadham Road was presented to this Committee at its meeting on 30 June 2017.

1.2 It was resolved by Committee that a decision be deferred to enable further consultation with local residents. The re-consultation took place through August, with a closing date of Friday 19 August 2016.

2.0 CONSULTATION RESULTS

2.1 In order to seek residents’ views on the proposal, it was agreed that re- consultation documents be hand delivered to all properties on Wadham Road, Bedford Road, Miranda Road, Queens Road and Kings Road. Copies of the consultation documents are attached as Annex A.

2.2 A total of 289 consultation documents were delivered, and a total of 75 (26%) were returned, which represents a disappointingly low return rate for this type of consultation. Residents were given the option to vote in favour or against the proposed Residents parking area being implemented. 58 (77%) respondents voted in favour of the scheme whilst 17 (23%) respondents voted against the introduction of the scheme. A table detailing a breakdown of the results is shown below.

2.3 Respondents who voted against the introduction of the proposed residents parking area commented as follows :

In favour of Not in favour of No. of Properties scheme scheme

Wadham Road 21 4 61

Bedford Road 31 10 201

Queens Road 4 1 13

Kings Road 1 2 5

Miranda Road 1 0 9

Total 58 17 289

3.0 COMMENTS & PROPOSALS

3.1 The consultation returned a low response rate the reason for this is probably due to the low car ownership in the area. Many residents have stated this in their returned questionnaire. Whilst the current parking situation is most acute in Page 58 Agenda Item 10

Wadham Road responses from residents in Bedford Road indicate that the on- street parking situation also causes residents a problem.

3.2 Given the response it is proposed to introduce a Residents parking scheme in the full length of Wadham Road, Bedford Road and Queens Road (between its junctions with Bedford Road and Viola Street). Given that two respondents were against the introduction of a scheme in Kings Road as opposed to the one respondent in favour of the introduction of the scheme it is recommended that the scheme is not introduced into Kings Road.

3.3 The scheme will be in operation from Monday to Friday and between the hours of 9.00am and 5.00pm. A plan showing the existing and proposed Residents parking areas is shown in Annex A.

3.4 As shown on the plans in Annex A, limited waiting parking restrictions are proposed at the junctions of Stanley Road with Bedford Road, Stanley Road with Wadham Road, Hawthorne Road with Wadham Road and Hawthorne Road with Bedford Road. The limited waiting will operate Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 5.00pm and waiting will be limited to one hour, no return within one hour. It is considered that the limited waiting parking restrictions will improve the turnover of parking for the customers of the commercial premises on Stanley Road.

3.5 Authorisation will be sought from Cabinet Member, Locality Services to progress the necessary Traffic Regulation Orders, including those of public consultation and advertising the Council's intention to implement the Order.

3.6 In order to simplify Sefton’s Traffic Regulation Orders, current Orders which exist on any of the roads affected by this proposal will be revoked, and new Orders made incorporating the new amendments. In this respect, the following Order(s) will be revoked and replaced with a new Order:-

• Metropolitan Borough of Sefton (Bedford Road, Bootle) (On-Street Parking Places, Prohibition and Restriction of Waiting) Order, 2016.

• Metropolitan Borough of Sefton (Kings Road, Bootle) (On-Street Parking Places, Prohibition and Restriction of Waiting) (No.2) Order, 2015.

• Metropolitan Borough of Sefton (Queens Road, Bootle) (On-Street Parking Places, Prohibition and Restriction of Waiting) (No.2) Order, 2015.

• Metropolitan Borough of Sefton (Wadham Road, Bootle) (On-Street Parking Places, Prohibition and Restriction of Waiting) (No.4) Order, 2015.

4.0 COSTS

4.1 The costs of the proposed scheme are estimated to be approximately £8200. This cost includes the supply and erection of all signs, the implementation of all lines, and all legal and advertising costs to implement the necessary Traffic Regulation Orders for the parking scheme. Following Cabinet Member, Transportation resolution in July 2011 to suspend the introduction of further Residents Parking schemes from within revenue budgets any proposed schemes must be funded from external resources. This is either from external funding as a result of a Page 59 Agenda Item 10

Planning condition imposed on a nearby development, or from within devolved Ward budgets.

4.2 As the proposed scheme spans two Wards, Linacre and Derby Wards. Approximately 70% of the proposed scheme lies within Linacre Ward and approximately 30% of the proposed scheme lies within Derby Ward. It is proposed that the costs be spread accordingly. Therefore the costs to Linacre Ward are estimated to be approximately £5700 and the estimated costs to Derby Ward will be approximately £2500.
