The Authority remains at the forefront of asset transfer and has supported a range of organisations to take over the running of facilities, as shown in Appendix 2 . A cross- departmental Asset Transfer Team has been established to monitor and promote asset transfer The Welsh Government has recently published guidance to encourage asset transfer and the Corporate Property formed part of the Sub-group which prepared the guidance. The Guidance can be found via this link: http://gov.wales/topics/people-and- communities/communities/community-asset-transfer/?lang=en Asset Transfer of Parks, Playgrounds and Amenity Areas On 15 th December 2014 the Executive Board unanimously resolved the following in relation to parks, playgrounds and amenity areas - • That in order to encourage asset transfers, a deadline of 1 st April 2016 be set for the submission of interests for the transfer and that a final transfer deadline of 31 st March 2018 be set, after which time, the maintenance of facilities could potentially cease; • That the £253,044 remaining in the Asset Transfer Fund be utilised to provide a fixed or variable amount of funding to incentivise the first organisations to take a transfer of facilities, up to a maximum ceiling of £10k per organisation • That all town and community councils within the County be advised of the Board’s decision and to the possibility that further cuts to the Council’s budget could potentially result in those assets not transferred not being maintained after 31 st March 2018. Letters were sent to all Town and Community Councils informing them of the above In December 2014 and discussions have taken place with most Community and Town Councils since. A further reminder has recently been sent to those that have not yet responded. Page 6 An update report was considered by the Resources Policy and Scrutiny Committee on 30 th April 2015 and it is intended that this will be an annual report. The report highlighted that, in relation to recreational facilities, the County Council at that time was in discussion with 20 Town and Community Councils. This represented approximately 75% of Community Council areas where the County Council maintained recreational facilities. The County Council was also at the time of the report in discussions with 10 sporting organisations / clubs. The Asset Transfer Team committed in the report to monitor the position and to ensure that any Community Councils that hadn’t responded were reminded of the deadlines of 31 st March 2016 in relation to expressions of interest and 31 st March 2018 with regard to final Transfer. An updated summary has been attached at Appendix 2 showing the present position. In the 6 months since the Policy and Resources Scrutiny report, discussions with 6 Community Councils have proceeded to the issuing of legal instructions on a total of 30 assets with a further 4 assets being the subject of legal instructions in relation to sporting clubs and associations. Whilst the above represents a significant move towards completing the transfer process on a large number of assets, the process has suffered a setback with Llanelli and Llandovery Town Councils confirming that neither will be taking any transfers of assets in their respective areas, although Llanelli Town has expressed interest in funding some elements of grounds and other maintenance of facilities. The Llanelli Town area contains a significant number of assets and , under the current policy, based on the current response, these assets would form part of a service consultation exercise next year on the future of these

  • Sustainability Appraisal Report of the Deposit LDP November 2019
    Carmarthenshire Revised Local Development Plan (LDP) Sustainability Appraisal Report of the Deposit LDP November 2019 1. Introduction This document is the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) Report, consisting of the joint Sustainability Appraisal (SA) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), of Carmarthenshire Council’s Deposit Revised Local Development Plan (rLDP).The SA/SEA is a combined process which meets both the regulatory requirements for SEA and SA. The revised Carmarthenshire Local Development Plan is a land use plan which outlines the location and quantity of development within Carmarthenshire for a 15 year period. The purpose of the SA is to identify any likely significant economic, environmental and social effects of the LDP, and to suggest relevant mitigation measures. This process integrates sustainability considerations into all stages of LDP preparation, and promotes sustainable development. This fosters a more inclusive and transparent process of producing a LDP, and helps to ensure that the LDP is integrated with other policies. This combined process is hereafter referred to as the SA. This Report accompanies, and should be read in conjunction with, the Deposit LDP. The geographical scope of this assessment covers the whole of the County of Carmarthenshire, however also considers cross-boundary effects with the neighbouring local authorities of Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and Swansea. The LDP is intended to apply until 2033 following its publication. This timescale has been reflected in the SA. 1.1 Legislative Requirements The completion of an SA is a statutory requirement for Local Development Plans under Section 62(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 20041, the Town and Country Planning (LDP) (Wales) Regulations 20052 and associated guidance.

  • Museums Scope General Opinion
    REPORT C DEPARTMENT AUDIT REVIEW AUDIT REF Communities Museums 5415002 PLANNED DAYS ACTUAL DAYS Frequency of Audit 8 8 Background There are five Museums located around Carmarthenshire – Carmarthenshire County Museum, Carmarthen Town Museum, Parc Howard Museum, Kidwelly Industrial Museum and Pendine Museum of Speed, all of which display various artefacts from Carmarthenshire’s varied past. The museums receive artefacts from public donations and also purchase specific items. The approved net budget for 2015/2016 for Museums was approximately £513k and for 2016/2017 approximately £554k. Scope The review covered the controls and procedures in operation to assess the extent to which adequate arrangements exist for the safeguard of the Authority’s assets. General Opinion The systems within the Museum Service have been assessed as being of medium risk to the Authority due to the value, both historic and monetary, of the artefacts in its possession. The 2015 / 2016 Internal Audit review identified concerns in the way that assets were being managed and administered. It is acknowledged that many of the weaknesses could be attributed to the lack of resources and the poor facilities available for the safe storage of assets however, it was not possible to place assurance that appropriate arrangements were in place to safeguard the Authority’s assets. The review was therefore reassessed as being of high risk to the Authority. The main areas of concern were as follows: a lack of a comprehensive up to date inventory of assets; delay in the full implementation of the computerised system CALM, currently there are three methods of recording items in use, none of which is complete and up to date; a lack of adequate documentation available to support loan items; a lack of adequate insurance arrangements.
