SOUTH EAST COMMUNITY ASSEMBLY

Meeting held 23 rd September 20 10 , at Community College , Thornbridge Avenue, S12 3AB

PRESENT: Councillors David Barker (Chair), Isobel Bowler, Denise Fox, Karen McGowan, Mick Rooney (Deputy Chair), Chris Rosling-Josephs, Ray Satur and Ian Saunders.

.

1. WELCOME AND HOUSEKEEPING ARRANGEMENTS Councillor David Barker welcomed members of the public to the Community Assembly meeting.

2. EXCLUSION OF PRESS AND PUBLIC No items were identified where resolutions may be moved to exclude the public and press.

3. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE FROM MEMBERS OF THE ASSEMBLY Apologies for absence were submitted from Councillors Bryan Lodge, Helen Mirfin-Boukouris, Jackie Satur and Gail Smith, and Kevin Foster, Lead Director.

4. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST There were no declarations of interest from Members of the Community Assembly.

5. MINUTES The minutes of the meeting of the Assembly held on 24th June 2010, were approved as a correct record and, arising therefrom:-

Page 1 - Public Questions - Anti-Social Behaviour in Woodhouse Inspector Jason Booth stated that there had been a problem with people drinking on the streets of Woodhouse for some years and this was still a problem, and was the cause of anti-social behaviour. He added that a Designated Public Place Order (DPPO) was proposed to be sought, which would allow the Police to exercise more power by asking people to stop drinking or face prosecution if they continued to drink. This action was not aimed at young people but at adults, and had been utilised in the city centre in addressing street drinkers, a number of whom were homeless. He stated that, in Woodhouse, the problem was somewhat different as the Police were dealing with local people who could drink at home but chose to drink on the street instead. A DPPO had been very successful in Wath, where anti-social behaviour and street drinking had been reduced considerably. Inspector Booth stated that local businesses and St. Anne’s Hostel were very supportive of the action. Councillor Ray Satur stated that a 400-name petition had been presented to Council regarding the anti-social behaviour in Woodhouse,

Meeting of the South East Community Assembly 23.09.2010 Page 2

over a long period of time. The Cabinet Member for Communities had agreed to investigate the problem. Regarding the purchase of another mobile camera for the area, Councillor Mick Rooney stated that the existing camera had been moved to a better location therefore this purchase was no longer necessary. RESOLVED: That Members endorse the proposal by Police to identify a DPPO in Woodhouse.

Page 7 - Item 10 - Section 106 Allocation The Community Assembly Manager stated that a simple briefing note would be submitted to all meetings of the Assembly regarding Section 106 funding updates. Section 106 funding was a contribution to the local environment by businesses which were building/developing on land in the Assembly area, and were to be used to develop play areas or other areas for community use, as close to the development area as possible. Regarding the contribution from the Scowerdons, Weakland and Newstead (SWaN) redevelopment, the Assembly would consult with the local community as to how the money would be used. Regarding the process of communities receiving the funding, the Community Assembly Manager stated that project management could take time and had to follow the protocols and procedures of the particular Service. Councillor Mick Rooney stated that it could take up to 10 years before the money could be allocated and queried whether this was because there were not enough officers to administer the process. RESOLVED: That the Community Assembly Manager be requested to investigate the reason for the delay in allocating Section 106 funding.

6. PUBLIC QUESTIONS AND PETITIONS

Parking on Grass Verges at Arnold Avenue and on Carterhall Lane A member of the public stated that he and some of his neighbours had received a letter from the Highways Department, requesting the removal of stones they had placed on the grass verges outside their properties, in an attempt to stop motorists from parking on them. He stated that householders on his road cut the grass on their own verges and kept them tidy and did not want to see cars parked on them. He added that some properties on the opposite side of Arnold Avenue had bollards along their grass verges, and asked why this service couldn’t be provided at his property. He stated that there was also a parking problem on Carterhall Lane, near Charnock Hall Primary School, which was so bad that emergency services staff have had to knock on doors to ask people to move their vehicles and allow emergency vehicles to travel up and down the road. Jim Fletcher stated that it was not illegal to park on a verge but it was illegal to block access to the verge. Councillor Ray Satur stated that people should not be penalised if they wished to keep their verges tidy

Meeting of the South East Community Assembly 23.09.2010 Page 3

The Chair stated that Assembly officers would investigate the cost of installing bollards at certain locations on Arnold Avenue, and the parking problems in the vicinity of Charnock Hall Primary School.

Roger Marsh, Chair of Owlthorpe Community Forum asked several questions as follows:-

Sheffield Landscape Trust Considering the need for prudence, reduction of costs and increased efficiency, could the Sheffield Landscape Trust (SLT) be based at Reignhead Farm rather than Wood Lane Countryside Centre at ? Much of the work of the Trust was carried out in the south east of Sheffield and the two Countryside officers who supervised this work had to travel from their homes in Rotherham and Woodhouse to Stannington, to start their shift and collect the necessary tools, only to have to travel back to the south east of Sheffield to carry out their work. They then had to return to Stannington at the end of their shift before returning home. This work pattern incurred significant costs to the Trust of fuel and vehicle maintenance. Councillor Ian Saunders stated that Reignhead Farm had been designated for housing use, but there were other options to consider regarding accommodation for the SLT. The Chair stated that he would request the Assembly’s link officer to investigate other options on behalf of the Assembly.

Ochre Dyke Litter Pick Owlthorpe Community Forum were continuing to carry out litter picks in the Ochre Dyke corridor but were unable to tackle the litter in the Dyke to the east, particularly where it passed through Westfield Plantation, due to a fly tipping problem caused by local residents. The Forum had been advised that special precautions needed to be taken due to the potential of polluted water in the Dyke. Could this problem be addressed by a NEAT team? The Chair stated that Assembly officers would make enquiries regarding help with the litter picking. He added that enforcement action was needed against fly tippers.

Sheffield Development Framework Owlthorpe was the only area in Sheffield where there was a proposal to extend into “Greenfield Land” and, because of this, the Forum believe that future development should be dealt with sensitively. Areas including Westfield Plantation, Hanging Lea Wood, the Owlthorpe Forest, the Ochre Dyke corridor and Owlthorpe Wild Orchard must be conserved. It was desirable that houses constructed in the area should have south facing roofs and should include solar panels. It was imperative that existing residents of Owlthorpe be consulted at all times. Could the Assembly put forward these concerns to the Sheffield Development Framework? Councillor Ian Saunders stated that most of what the Forum was asking for was in the current plans for the area. He had contacted

Meeting of the South East Community Assembly 23.09.2010 Page 4

Planning officers to arrange a meeting between them and local Councillors and he would report back to the Assembly once the meeting had taken place. He stated that no timescales were available at present. The Chair stated that the Assembly was happy to endorse the proposals of the Forum and local Councillors would continue to pursue the matter.

Provision of Dog Bins at Westfield A member of the public stated that dog walkers were not picking up dog waste on the field adjacent to Shortbrook School and requested that two or three dog bins be sited there. Councillor Isobel Bowler stated that the request would be considered by the Ward Members.

Provision of Dog Bins at Heathlands Park A member of the public stated that the request to have dog bins sited at Healthlands Park had been refused because the Environmental Service did not have the resources to collect the waste. The Community Assembly Manager stated that the issues of dog fouling and the provision of dog bins were being investigated at a senior level, as they were a problem in all Community Assembly areas. The Chair stated that the Assembly could only provide dog bins if the Environmental Service had the resources to empty them.

Community Policing in the Assembly Area Ken Crowder, Owlthorpe Community Forum, stated that there was a need to maintain community policing in the Assembly area and residents did not want to see the service cut. Councillor Mick Rooney stated that the Council had three representatives on the Police Authority, and the Assembly could write to these representatives stating that they did not wish to see any cuts in the Police budget affecting front-line policing. Inspector Jason Booth stated that nobody knew what the outcome of budget cuts would be, but were investigating how they could preserve front-line services and Safer Neighbourhood Officers. The Chair stated that he would write, in the strongest possible terms, to the three Council representatives and to the Chief Constable of South Yorkshire Police, opposing any proposed cuts in community policing in the Assembly area.

Discretionary Budget Allocations In response to questions from Members and members of the public, in relation to the proposed discretionary budget allocations to be considered later at the meeting, the Community Assembly Manager stated that:-

 Regarding the £10,000 to be used for the Parks Strategy, he and the Chair would meet with Breeze to discuss which areas would

Meeting of the South East Community Assembly 23.09.2010 Page 5

benefit the most from the funding.

 There would be 14 communications screens, which were like a television screen with the information contained on a memory stick. They were covered by a 3 year warranty and had very few moving parts which could go wrong. The South East Community Assembly team would control the information relayed on them.

 Speed indicator signs were to be erected on Donetsk Way, and a meeting was to take place between local residents and Road Safety Officers as soon as possible. It was accepted that there was a danger to both motorists and pedestrians from vehicles skidding on wet tram lines. Susie Pryor, Road Safety Engineer, Development Services, would be asked to investigate this City- wide problem.

 Any suggestions for the use of underspent Ward pot monies should be submitted to the Assembly Manager.

EXECUTIVE FUNCT IONS DECISION RECORD

Decision 1

7. PETITION REGARDING PARKING ISSUES ON HAYFIELD CRESCENT, HAYFIELD DRIVE AND HAYFIELD PLACE The Head of Transport and Highways submitted a report containing proposals with regard to action following the receipt of a petition containing 31 signatures, which had been reported to the Cabinet Highways Committee on 20th May 2010, and which related to parking issues at Hayfield Crescent, Hayfield Drive and Hayfield Place.

7.1 DECISION TAKEN

RESOLVED: That the Community Assembly (a) notes the contents of the report now submitted; (b) agrees that the Assembly consider funding investigations into the feasibility of providing a one-way system around Hayfield Crescent from its Small Highways Scheme budget; and (c) thanks the petition organiser for bringing their concerns about this location to the attention of the Council, and requests that they be advised of the outcome.

7.2 REASONS FOR THE DECISION

Although it would be feasible to provide additional parking regulations in the Hayfield Crescent/Hayfield Drive/Hayfield Place area, this proposal would be likely to move parking to neighbouring residential streets. However, the imposition of double yellow lines on Hayfield Crescent, around the perimeter of the grassed area, may be a suitable Community Assembly highway scheme. Such a proposal would in no

Meeting of the South East Community Assembly 23.09.2010 Page 6

way affect residents’ on-street parking arrangements and would not result in a major dispersal of parking at school times as very few vehicles have been spotted parking on the grassed area. Additionally, Parking Services officers would be able to enforce these markings, although, again, it has been noted that very few vehicles park on the perimeter at school times. An initial estimate for this scheme is £5,000. At the moment, it is not policy to provide Residents’ Parking Schemes in suburban residential areas. However, even if this was not the case, relocating transient school gate parking to another location does not appear to be an appropriate response. There would be a question as to whether widespread parking regulations would be respected in the school situation. It is not Council policy to prioritise funding to provide car parks near schools for the purpose of accommodating short-term parkin g. Creation of such an area runs contrary to School Travel Plan message and is likely to attract more parking to the area. The one-way arrangement around the Hayfield Crescent triangle appears to be feasible and such an arrangement would not be detrimental to road safety and may reduce the incidence of vehicle running on the verge. £6,500 would be an initial estimate for this type of scheme. Any proposal preferred by the Assembly would be subject to the usual public consultations.

7.3 ALTERNATIV ES CONSIDERED AND REJECTED

The Traffic Regulation Group has been consulted with respect to the request for the provision of a Residents’ Parking Scheme. The current Council policy, as agreed by the Cabinet, is that no Residents’ Permit Parking Schemes are to be introduced in outer suburban areas until the results of forthcoming trials are known and assessed. This is likely to be later in 2011. The problem of introducing parking regulations near schools, in response to residents’ concerns, is that there is potential for parking to displace to neighbouring streets, resulting in objections by other residents. It is not policy or practice for the Authority to provide parking restrictions as a response to issues related to private vehicle accesses. To deter parking at vehicle accesses, residents can apply to the Council to provide an advisory white ‘H’ marking for which a charge is made. Provision of a one-way arrangement around the triangular area does appear feasible. Usually Road Safety officers would not recommend one-way arrangements outside schools without providing accompanying traffic-calming features. However the road layout at this location is such that speeds are generally low. Overall traffic volumes are minimal and the vast majority of Birley Primary School pupils are accompanied by adults on the school journey. The road safety risks related to the road layout are minimal and the accident history is testament to this. The situation is typical of no through roads in that traffic volumes are minimal and speeds tend to be

Meeting of the South East Community Assembly 23.09.2010 Page 7

reduced. In addition, narrow road widths (e.g. 5.4 metres on Hayfield Drive) reduce pedestrian exposure to risk. Officers have made observations at school start and finish times and the overwhelming number of Birley Community Primary pupils are accompanied by their parents. A few children are accompanied by older siblings. In contrast, Thornbridge Avenue, Thornbridge Drive and Thornbridge Road will experience far greater levels of pedestrian and vehicular activity. Officers would not recommend the use of obstacles to prevent vehicle encroachment on the grassed area and while ever the two-way traffic arrangement is in place, there is the possibility of opposing drivers blocking each other, with the only option being to engage in long reversing movements because there is no space to pass. If a one-way arrangement is feasible, this may well reduce the potential for verge running. Also, a considerable amount of bollards would be required in order to prevent vehicle encroachment and some residents may find this unattractive.

Decision 2

8. PETITION R EQUEST ING A CHILD SAFETY ZONE IN THE AREA OF The Director of Development Services submitted a report containing proposed options in response to the receipt of an 834 signature petition requesting a Child Safety Zone in the Birley Spa area of Hackenthorpe.

8.1 DECISION TAKEN

RESOLVED: That the Community Assembly (a) notes the contents of the report now submitted; and (b) requests (i) the Director of Development Services to develop more detailed proposals, in consultation with the Birley and Ward Councillors and the local Tenants’ and Residents’ Association, with option 2 (a “signed only” 20mph speed limit in the area with “light touch” engineering measures) being the initial preferred option at this stage and (ii) that a further report be submitted to the next meeting of the Assembly.

Meeting of the South East Community Assembly 23.09.2010 Page 8

8.2 REASONS FOR THE DECISION

To deliver improvement in safety and better facilities for pedestrians as identified by residents and Ward Members.

8.3 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND REJECTED

Other options under consideration include a traffic calming scheme on Birley Spa Lane, including innovative traffic calming features, and a Child Safety Zone scheme consisting of a 20mph speed limit zone and self-enforcing traffic calming features. An alternative option would be to take no action, but this could continue to lead to the same or an increased level of road accidents, and also higher than considered appropriate vehicle speeds.

8.4 ANY INTEREST DECLARED OR DISPENSATION GRANTED

None.

Decision 3

9. DISCRETIONARY BUDGET

The Community Assembly Manager submitted a report containing proposals for the allocation of funds from the Assembly’s Discretionary Budget 2010/11.

9.1 DECISION TAKEN

RESOLVED: That the Community Assembly (a) regard having been had to the Sheffield City Strategy and to the relevant guidance of the Secretary of State, confirms its belief that the granting of funding as envisaged in the report is likely to achieve the promotion and improvement of the economic, social or environmental well-being of residents of the South East Community Assembly area; (b) agrees to allocate £72,000 as follows:- • £50,000 towards large highways schemes • £10,000 for parks improvements to be identified by Breeze Landscape Architects

Meeting of the South East Community Assembly 23.09.2010 Page 9

• £10,000 for a series of communications measures • £2,000 to fund work around the ‘Taking Action’ initiative to tackle anti-social behaviour; (c) delegates authority to the Community Assembly Manager, in consultation with the Chair of the Community Assembly, to determine which of the identified improvements to parks are funded from the available £10,000; and (d) allocates the following underspent allocations to the respective Ward pots as follows:- • Birley Ward - £7,877 ‘You Choose’ underspend • Woodhouse Ward - £2,316 Learning Champions underspend.

9.2 REASONS FOR THE DECISION

• £50,000 towards large highways schemes - Safer roads and pavements is an Assembly priority identified in the Community Plan and this funding allows additional tangible improvements to be made.

• £10,000 parks funding - By linking this funding to the strategy being developed, it will enable a targeted and informed intervention.

• £10,000 for communications - This funding will increase awareness of the work of the Assembly in creating channels to address local concerns.

• £2,000 for ‘Taking Action’ - This funding will enable resources to be directed towards initiatives to tackle a series of anti-social behaviour issues highlighted in the Community Plan.

• Ward activity underspends redirected to Ward pots - These funds were previously allocated for Ward-based activity, so it makes sense to reallocate them for use in other activities within the same Ward.

9.3 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND REJECTED

• £50,000 towards large highways schemes – If not spent, money would be returned to Council central funds.

• £10,000 parks funding – Money to be used for a first project arising from the parks strategy. This level of work would have been unworkable in this financial year as the strategy is still being developed and this would have involved a large project being undertaken. The £10,000 could be spent on play equipment or park fixtures such as benches, but would only fund a small amount of equipment.

Meeting of the South East Community Assembly 23.09.2010 Page 10

• £10,000 for communications - A number of differing communications have been previously proposed.

9.4 ANY INTEREST DECLARED OR DISPENSATION GRAN TED

Decision 4

10. LARGE HIGHWAY SCHEMES

The Head of Transport and Highways submitted a report on the proposed allocation of funding in respect of large highway schemes for delivery in 2010/11.

10.1 DECISION TAKEN

RESOLVED: That the Community Assembly (a) notes the contents of the report now submitted, together with comments now made; (b) approves the following large highway schemes for delivery in 2010/11:- • Beaver Hill Road, Woodhouse - Pedestrian refuge near junction with Beighton Road • Tannery Street - Zebra crossing narrowing • Eckington Road - Chicane to replace existing speed cushion • Beighton Rd, Hackenthorpe - Road narrowing scheme • Donetsk Way - Speed indicator devices • Birley Spa Lane service road - Installation of truckpave • White Lane service road - Verge hardening to allow vehicles to pass • Moss Way - Refuges • Mosborough High Street - Speed indicator devices; and (c) recommends that (i) the utilisation of any unallocated funds be decided upon by the Community Assembly Manager in conjunction with the Chair of the Community Assembly and the Assembly’s Highways Link Officer, (ii) the scheme at Spring Water Avenue – pedestrian refuge - be identified for feasibility work, and as a priority scheme for 2011/12, and (iii) the scheme at Beaver Hill Road – traffic-calming – be undertaken as a corporately funded scheme for 2011/12.

Meeting of the South East Community Assembly 23.09.2010 Page 11

10.2 REASONS FOR THE DECISION

The schemes (a) address local highways safety concerns identified by local residents, (b) have proved to be viable following Highways technical assessments, and (c) balance the need to prioritise schemes on grounds of safety, whilst installing measures across all four Wards in the South East area.

10.3 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND REJECTED

An alternative scheme considered at the feasibility stage was Spring Water Avenue (Pedestrian refuge). Whilst this scheme has merits, it was felt that as the neighbourhood concerned (Hackenthorpe) had three schemes in the initial feasibility list, it was not reasonable within a South East-wide budget to concentrate so much resource on one neighbourhood. The scheme above was judged the lowest priority within the respective neighbourhood.

10.4 ANY INTEREST DECLARED OR DISPENSATION GRANTED

None.

Decision 5

11. CLIMATE CHANGE FUND 2010/11

The Community Assembly Manager submitted a report containing proposals for the allocation of funds from the Assembly’s Climate Change Fund 2010/11.

11.1 DECISION TAKEN

RESOLVED: That (a) the contents of the report now submitted, together with the comments now made, be noted: (b) regard having been had to the Sheffield City Strategy and to the relevant guidance issued by the Secretary of State, the Community Assembly confirms its belief that the granting of funding, as envisaged in this report, is likely to achieve the promotion and improvement of the social and/or environmental well-being of residents of the South East

Meeting of the South East Community Assembly 23.09.2010 Page 12

(d) a second round of the Climate Change Fund be opened for applications on 27th September 2010, with decisions on which projects to fund being taken at the next Assembly meeting to be held on 9th December 2010; and (e) the Director of Neighbourhood Renewal and Partnerships, in consultation with the Director of Legal Services, be requested to agree the terms on which this funding is made available and the completion of funding agreements for the projects now approved, and any other related documents that he/she considers appropriate.

11.2 REASONS FOR THE DECISION

The projects recommended for funding are proposed on the basis that they have been assessed as community-based projects, which are likely to contribute to countering climate change, and they meet all criteria and guidance applicable to the Climate Change Fund.

11.3 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND REJECTED

A number of other projects were considered, but either failed to meet the relevant criteria or further details were required to be submitted. These included:-

NON -EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS DECISION RECORD

12. SOUTH EAST ASSEMBLY COMMUNITY PLAN The Community Assembly considered a report of the Planning and Performance Officer, on the Community Assembly Plan 2010/2012, which identified community priorities within the Assembly area. Based on consultation with local people, the Plan reflected the priorities of the local community in making the area a better place to live. The four priorities for 2010/2012 were:-

• Crime and Anti-Social Behaviour - Fund local community groups to deliver activities to address anti-social behaviour (£10,000). The Assembly to work with South Yorkshire Police to investigate the possibility of setting up an Alcohol Exclusion Zone. • Traffic and Highways - Fund numerous small highways schemes to improve safety on our roads and pavements (£340,000). Make improvements to roads that are in poor conditions with pot holes (£40,000). • The Environment - Commission Breeze Landscape Architects to develop a Parks Strategy (£15,000). Fund environmental planning to deliver a series of Eco Action initiatives working alongside local volunteers (£15,000). • The Community - Fund additional youth activity that will incorporate the development of a Youth Panel and targeted youth work where identified (£40,000). Part-fund a 50+ Healthy Activity worker to support and develop activity groups such as ‘keep fit sessions for the over 50’s’ (£21,000).

Meeting of the South East Community Assembly 23.09.2010 Page 14

The Chair stated the priorities were issues which concerned residents in the south east of Sheffield, and the Assembly hoped to address all the priorities by March 2012. RESOLVED: That the South East Community Assembly (a) adopts the South East Community Assembly Plan as set out in Appendix A to the report; and (b) regard having been had to the Sheffield City Strategy and to the relevant guidance issued by the Secretary of State, confirms its belief that the adoption of the South East Community Assembly Plan is likely to achieve the promotion and improvement of the economic, social and environmental wellbeing of Sheffield and, in particular, the residents of Beighton, Birley, Mosborough and Woodhouse Wards.

13. BRIN G OUT YOUR RUBBISH DAYS (BOYRDs) The Community Assembly Manager submitted a report which contained information regarding five BOYRDs and the allocation of nine community skips. During the BOYRDs, large household items would be removed from areas of approximately 400 houses. The locations of BOYRDs have been proposed following a review of BOYRD locations in the past three years and consultation with Assembly Members and local community groups. RESOLVED: That the South East Community Assembly (a) proposes that BOYRDs take place in the following locations:-

• Richmond Road/Haigh Moor Walk - Handsworth • Parsley Hay/Birklands - Handsworth • , Sothall and Halfway

(b) authorises the Community Assembly Manager, in consultation with local groups, to determine the exact location of the BOYRDs to be held in the areas of Frecheville, Sothall and Halfway; and (c) authorises the Community Assembly Manager to make decisions on the use of the nine free community skips.

14. DATE OF NEXT ME ETING The Assembly noted that its next meeting would be held on Thursday, 9th December, 2010, at 1.30 p.m., at a venue to be confirmed.

(NOTE: These minutes are subject to approval at the next formal meeting.)
