Officer Contributors Head of Corporate Performance Office Policy & Performance Manager Community Partnerships Manager Status (public or exempt) Public Wards affected All Enclosures Barnet: A First Class Suburb: A Sustainable Community Strategy for Barnet, 2006-2016 (enclosure to follow shortly) Developing a new Community Strategy for Barnet – summary of consultation For decision by Council Function of Council Reason for urgency / Not applicable exemption from call-in (if appropriate) Contact for further information: Hester Fairgrieve, Policy & Performance Manager 020 8359 7011. 1 1. RECOMMENDATIONS 1.1 That Cabinet recommend Council to approve the Sustainable Community Strategy for Barnet in the light of the response to consultation outlined in this report. 2. RELEVANT PREVIOUS DECISIONS 2.1 None 3. CORPORATE PRIORITIES AND POLICY CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 This Community Strategy fulfils the Council’s requirements under the Local Government Act 2000 to prepare a plan for improving the economic, environmental and social well-being of the area. Local authorities must prepare this in partnership with local organisations and agencies as well as consult and seek participation and involvement from local communities. 3.2 The new ten year Strategy has been developed through extensive consultation with partners represented on Barnet’s Local Strategic Partnership (LSP), community groups, local businesses and residents to ensure that it meets the Council’s core objective of ‘Putting the Community First’. 3.3 The following Council priorities are reflected in the Strategy: • A First Class Education Service • Tackling Crime • Supporting the Vulnerable in our Community • A Cleaner Greener Barnet. 4. RISK MANAGEMENT ISSUES 4.1 The principal risk is failure to deliver the ambitions in the Strategy. A detailed action plan which sets out how the Local Strategic Partnership will deliver the strategy is currently being developed. This will include partnership projects and key targets by which success against the Community Strategy will be measured. A rigorous performance management framework will be implemented to monitor and challenge performance against the strategy on a regular basis. 5. FINANCIAL, STAFFING, ICT AND PROPERTY IMPLICATIONS 5.1 The Strategy is not accompanied by additional resources, and the activities which underpin delivery of the strategy will be delivered within existing budgets of the Council and partner organisations. 5.2 The printing and promotion of the strategy will be met through an annual payment to the LSP from the Learning and Skills Council. The ongoing costs of performance managing the strategy will be met within existing CPO budgets. 6. LEGAL ISSUES 6.1 None, other than what is contained in the body of the report. 2 7 CONSTITUTIONAL POWERS 7.1 The Community Strategy is part of the policy framework, and its approval is reserved to full Council on recommendation from Cabinet. 8 BACKGROUND INFORMATION 8.1 Under the Local Government Act 2000, all authorities are required to develop a strategy for promoting the economic, environmental and social well-being of their community. Barnet’s second Community Plan, ‘Barnet First Class’, was produced by Barnet’s LSP and adopted in 2003. The Plan covered the period from 2003-2006. As the current Community Plan expires in March 2006, a new longer term Community Strategy, ‘Barnet: A First Class Suburb’ has been developed to cover the period 2006-2016. The strategy will be reviewed every three years. 8.2 A draft of the Community Strategy was produced in August 2005 following detailed discussions around joint priorities with members of Barnet’s LSP, which is chaired by Tom Nathan, Commercial Director of Brent Cross Shopping Centre, on which the Leader represents Barnet Council. The draft strategy was also produced following an analysis of residents’ priorities (as identified through the Best Value Review Survey 2003/04 and Annual Residents’ Survey 2004/05) and a review of key challenges facing the borough now and in the future. 8.3 The draft strategy has been discussed with Cabinet Members to ensure that the document accurately reflected the Council’s commitments. Feedback from this was incorporated into the Strategy that went out to public consultation. 8.4 The draft Strategy went out to consultation during October-December 2005. Every household in the borough received a copy of Barnet First which highlighted the contents of the draft strategy and asked residents to express their views. The strategy was also available in public places and on various partner websites. The strategy and questionnaire was sent to all members of Barnet’s Citizen’s Panel and presentations were given at various events including the Civic Network and the area forums. There were also focused workshops with older people, young people, people with disabilities, faith groups and Black Minority Ethnic (BME) communities. In total 738 people responded to the consultation, whether through a formal questionnaire or being involved in a focus group/workshop. 8.5 Summary of changes to the Community Strategy following consultation A detailed summary of the consultation findings is available in the appendix. Views expressed during consultation understandably varied depending on the individuals or groups consulted. However, there were some re-occurring themes. These and the responses proposed as a result are highlighted below: • The overwhelming majority of respondents shared the vision for Barnet in 2016 (82% of those surveyed). Suggested response – the vision will be kept as it is but more explicit reference will be made to ‘affordable and decent homes’, as this, despite being an ambition, was not specifically referred to in the vision 3 • The themes expressed in order of importance were ‘Safer, Stronger & Cleaner’, ‘Investing in Children & Young People’ ‘Healthier Barnet’ and ‘Growing Successfully’ • There is too little on older people and how their needs will be addressed over the next ten years. Suggested response - make older people a sub-theme of ‘Healthier Barnet’ and make explicit reference to older people in the ‘health and care is targeted at the most vulnerable’ ambition. Add another ambition specifically focused on older people - ‘maximising choice and independence for older people’. • There is not enough information on how the vision will be achieved. Suggested response – the final strategy will include key measures of success and examples of partnership projects which will help to deliver the ambitions. Explicit reference will also be made to the specific strategies that support each ambition.

Oral response Junior Doctors' Contract Question No: 2015/3763 Onkar Sahota I have been asked to put the following question to you by a member of the public: "I am a junior doctor living in London. Like every junior doctor working in England, I face a great deal of uncertainty regarding what my salary will be from August 2016. This is due to the belligerent approach of Jeremy Hunt and the…Government. "As London is an exceptionally expensive city to both live and work. I am concerned regarding whether or not I will be able to afford to remain as a junior doctor in this wonderful city. "I am not alone. There is a very real danger that many junior doctors living and working in London will have to leave their posts and seek employment in other more affordable parts of the UK. I am sure you are well aware that many London hospitals are heavily reliant upon locum doctors to ensure safe staffing levels. A mass exodus of junior doctors from our Capital will worsen this. Unfortunately this will be compounded by the proposed cap on locum rates that your colleague, Jeremy Hunt, is pushing through." Are you concerned about the impact of the proposed junior doctor's contract on the ability of London to attract essential medical professionals? Oral response Your message at the Paris
