Colchester Borough Council, Braintree District Council, Maldon District Council, Tendring District Council and Colchester and Tendring Women’S Refuge Portfolio Holder for Business, Leisure Item and Opportunities xx March 2017 Report of Deputy Chief Executive Author Tina Hinson ( 01206 506903 Title Allocation of Department of Communities and Local Government grant funding for refuges, domestic abuse specialist accommodation based support and services Wards All wards affected This report seeks approval to award the Department of Communities and Local Government grant for domestic abuse services to Colchester and Tendring Women’s Refuge 1. Decision Required 1.1 To award the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) grant of £263,453.90 for domestic abuse services to Colchester and Tendring Women’s Refuge, as set out in the joint bid with Colchester Borough Council, Braintree District Council, Maldon District Council, Tendring District Council and Colchester and Tendring Women’s Refuge. 2. Reasons for Decision 2.1 As lead authority for the bid to the DCLG’s fund for refuges, Colchester Borough Council has received the funding from DCLG to provide the services set out in the bid. 3. Alternative Option 3.1 Not to allocate the funding. The funding would need to be returned to DCLG. If this course of action were followed there would have been no point in making the bid to DCLG in the first place. 4. Supporting Information 4.1 A bid was made by a partnership of Colchester Borough Council, Braintree District Council, Maldon District Council, Tendring District Council and Colchester and Tendring Women’s Refuge to the DCLG’s fund for refuges, specialist accommodation based support and service reform to meet the priorities for domestic abuse services. 4.2 The bid was made by a partnership as one of the criteria the DCLG proposed to use to assess bids was that local areas of three or more local authorities work collaboratively across local authority boundaries to strengthen provision. Colchester and Tendring already share Refuge provision. Braintree District Council and Maldon District Council do not have a Refuge within their District. Applicants for funding were also asked to demonstrate their partnership arrangements with other relevant services such as health partners and local specialist domestic violence service providers. The bid was supported by Anglia Community Enterprise (ACE) and Changing Pathways (who provide Women’s Refuge services in Basildon). Bids were also asked to demonstrate evidence-wide 1 assessment of need, and take into account the particular needs of victims from isolated and/or marginalised communities/ BME backgrounds. 4.3 A requirement of submitting a bid was that one local authority agree to be the lead authority and receive the DCLG grant funding. Colchester Borough Council agreed to take on this role. 4.4 The Fund will operate for the 2016/18 financial years. 4.5 A service level agreement will be signed between Colchester Borough Council and CTWR setting out the services to be provided and the monitoring and governance arrangements. 4.6 A Project Delivery Board, consisting of all the local authority partners and the partners named in the bid will oversee the delivery and monitoring of the project. 5. Proposals 5.1 To award the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) grant of £263,453.90 for domestic abuse services to Colchester and Tendring Women’s Refuge as set out in the joint bid with Colchester Borough Council, Braintree District Council, Maldon District Council, Tendring District Council and Colchester and Tendring Women’s Refuge. 6. Strategic Plan References 6.1 This report supports the Strategic Plan priority Welcoming......a place where people can grow and be proud to live. • Ensure Colchester is a welcoming and safe place for residents, visitors and businesses with a friendly feel that embraces tolerance and diversity . 7. Consultation 7.1 The Portfolio Holder was consulted informally as part of the submission of the bid. Each local authority that was party to the bid submitted a letter of support. 8. Publicity considerations 8.1 This funding will see services provided to ensure that no victim of domestic abuse is turned away from the support they need and therefore is likely to generate positive publicity. 9. Financial implications 9.1 This grant is provided by central government for refuges, specialist accommodation based support and service reform to meet the priorities for domestic abuse services as set out in the bid submitted by the Partnership. 9.2 Although the grant is not ring-fenced under Section 31 of the Local Government Act 2003, Colchester Borough Council committed in its role as lead authority, to ensuring that any grant received will be used for the purposes it was intended as set out in the partnership bid. 10. Equality, Diversity and Human Rights Implications 2 10.1 We have fully considered the equality and diversity impacts by undertaking an Equality Impact Assessment (EQIA) and conclude there are no adverse impacts that cannot be mitigated. To view the EQIAs please use this link to the Council’s website: http://www.colchester.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=19487&p=0 11. Community Safety Implications 11.1 Work to respond to and support those experiencing domestic abuse is likely to have a positive impact on community safety. 12. Health and Safety Implications 12.1 This report has no significant health and safety implications. 13. Risk Management Implications 13.1 The principle risk to this expenditure is that the funded services do not achieve the intended outcomes. We will mitigate this risk by agreeing clear service level agreements with performance targets, and then monitoring performance. Background Papers None 3.

Have Your Say! Dr Andrea Fejős and Professor Christopher Willett attended and, with the permission of the Chairman, addressed the meeting to ask that proposed Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) T29664816 [Manor Road, Colchester] be approved. Although the TRO had been recommended for rejection by Colchester Borough Council, due to lack of local support, Dr Fejős argued that the Committee could still approve it. The TRO had been requested by Dr Fejős and Professor Willett in order to stop vehicles parking in front of a flat’s front window which they noted was the only alternative exit/fire escape for the property. It would prevent such parking and involve moving the parking space to further along the road, on the opposite side of the road.

  • Media Release
    Media Release 17 March 2020 Discussion events about mid and south Essex CCGs’ future cancelled Following the Government’s latest guidance, the five NHS clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in mid and south Essex have taken the decision to cancel public events where they had hoped to discuss the future of local NHS planning with residents. A spokesperson for the five CCGs said: “Our overriding priority is, as it has always been, the safety of people living in our area. We are very sorry that we cannot offer people in Braintree and Maldon a chance to share their views and ask questions face-to-face as we had hoped. We really would still like local people’s input on the plans, and there are ways you can do this online.” The NHS Long Term Plan sets out a timeline for a single organisation to be planning and buying NHS care across larger areas. The CCG had arranged three events in the south of the county and three more in the local authority areas of mid Essex where residents could have their say about proposals for a possible merger between the five organisations. Two of the events, for south east Essex and Chelmsford residents, have already been held, but all those yet to happen have been cancelled to support residents’ “social distancing”. Events now cancelled were due to be held in: • Grays and Thurrock this evening • Braintree District this Thursday (17 March) • Pitsea, Basildon and Brentwood next Monday (23 March) • Maldon District next Wednesday (25 March). In light of the current situation surrounding Covid-19 (novel coronavirus), the two drop-in events will not now go ahead.

  • (A) the Following Parts of the Maldon District Pre-Submission LDP Are Considered to Be Unsound and Not Legally Compliant
    Appendix 1 (A) The following parts of the Maldon District Pre-Submission LDP are considered to be unsound and not legally compliant: Policy S2 (Strategic Growth) and Policy S4 (Maldon and Heybridge Strategic Growth) and paragraphs 2.25-2.27 and 2.63-2.66 Chelmsford City Council’s (CCC) representation on these Policies and paragraphs comprises the comments below together with the attached ‘Statement Considering the Essex Highways “Technical Note – Impact of Proposed Development Sites in Heybridge and South Maldon on Wider Highway Network” Dated December 2013 in relation particularly to the A414 through Danbury’. This Statement has been prepared by Rowland Bilsland Traffic Planning Ltd on behalf of CCC. This is referred to as the ‘Consultant’s Report’ for short. Chelmsford City Council acknowledges that new development in neighbouring authorities will have impacts on Chelmsford’s area. However, MDC has failed to fully recognise and adequately mitigate the potential highway impacts of their planned growth on the residents of Danbury and Little Baddow. The ‘Technical Note – Impact of Proposed Development Sites in Heybridge and South Maldon on Wider Highway Network, Essex Highways December 2013 (the Wider Study, 2013 for short) and Consultant’s Report indicate that planned growth in Maldon and Heybridge is likely to have significant adverse impacts on the A414 Eves Corner. It could also increase capacity issues at the Wells Lane mini-roundabout and other rat-running routes through Danbury and Little Baddow. However, the full effects of the proposed developments remain unclear given a lack of published traffic surveys, modelling and capacity analysis. CCC consider it is imperative that MDC publish/commission traffic survey information for Eves Corner, the results of a full capacity analysis and existing queue length survey data.

As fellow Essex authorities, our Councils have a duty to cooperate in accordance with the Localism Act and the National Planning Policy Framework to explore, understand and address any planning matters of cross-border significance. Maldon and Tendring share similar characteristics as predominantly rural coastal authorities that neighbour major towns of regional significance (Colchester and Chelmsford in the case of Maldon and Colchester and Ipswich in the case of Tendring) and this Council can acknowledge and empathise with the difficulties Maldon has had to go through to get to this stage – particularly in tackling objectively assessed needs for housing through greenfield allocations. Whilst there are no matters of cross-boundary significance that would appear to affect Tendring directly, you will be pleased to know that this Council is still happy to support the proposals in your consultation document as we consider that these will deliver the growth needed in your district in line with the National Planning Policy Framework. Rather than commenting on every specific question 1-15 on your questionnaire, I trust you will accept this letter as an indication that Tendring District Council ‘agrees’ with each of the statements within it and has nothing else to add at this stage.

  • Essex and Southend-On-Sea Waste Local Plan Adopted July 2017
    Essex and Southend-on-Sea Waste Local Plan Adopted July 2017 Foreword Waste Local Plan - Foreword Foreword This Waste Local Plan has been prepared to help ensure we can deal with all types of waste arising in Essex and Southend, now and in the future, in a way which is least damaging to the environment and helps maintain the best possible quality of life for our residents. The Plan forms part of the statutory development plan and provides the policies for planning decisions for all forms of waste management development in the administrative areas of both authorities. All households, businesses and industries in Essex and Southend-on-Sea produce waste. Much is already being done to reduce, re-use or recycle that waste wherever possible or to find some other beneficial use for the materials we throw away. The continuing challenge we have is to introduce better, more sustainable, ways of dealing with waste whilst continuing to reduce the historical dependence we have had on landfill. Throughout its preparation this Plan has been shaped by comments from a large variety of interests – be it residents, businesses, public bodies and organisations. We are extremely grateful for all your contributions and your feedback has been used to inform this final version of the Plan. In particular we have placed great emphasis on local communities taking part in policy making and significant efforts have been made to ensure all those likely to be affected by the Plan have the opportunity to be involved in its preparation. The Waste Local Plan will help ensure that future waste needs of Essex and Southend- on-Sea can be appropriately met through sites situated in the most appropriate locations and with minimal impact on communities and the environment.
