46 PROPOSED CHANGE OF AGE RANGE - IRTHINGTON VILLAGE COMMUNITY SCHOOL, IRTHINGTON

The Local Committee had before it a report by the Corporate Director – Children’s Services providing background on the consultation currently being undertaken by the County Council on the proposed provision of a maintained nursery at Irthington Village Community School through changing the age range from 4-11 to 3-11.

The first stage of the proposed change of age range involved consulting with interested parties including the Local Committee. Its response, along with all the feedback received during the consultation period, would be considered by Cabinet at its meeting on 13 September 2012. Dependent upon the outcome of the consultation a decision would be taken on whether statutory notices should be published.

The local member welcomed the proposals and asked the Local Committee to support this initiative.

RESOLVED , that

(1) the contents of the report be noted;

(2) in order to establish a nursery at Irthington Village Community School Cabinet be RECOMMENDED to approve the “change of age range” from the current 4-11 age range to 3-11 age range.

47 COMMUNITY SAFETY UPDATE

Consideration was given to a report by the Corporate Director – Safer and Stronger Communities advising of the current Community Safety partnership structure following a significant reorganisation over the past 12 months. It also looked at the forthcoming election of the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) and the potential impact this would have on the delivery of Community Safety services.

In conclusion the report touched upon the relationships that existed in statute between the PCC and the current partnership structure. One of the documents the Police and Crime Commissioner would have to have regard to was the County Council’s Community Safety Agreement. The strategic assessment, which fed the Community Safety Agreement, had to include information from as many sources as possible to provide the Commissioner with a comprehensive view of what the County Council considered to be its priorities.

Page 5 RESOLVED , that

(1) the current delivery structure in place for community safety, and the potential impact of the Police and Crime Commissioner be noted;

(2) a Working Group of 1:1:1:1, consisting of Mr W Whalen, Mrs V Tarbitt, Mr T Allison and Mr R Betton, be established to work with the Safer Communities Manager to agree the areas of priority for the strategic assessment.

A report by the Corporate Director – Organisational Development presented the minutes of the meeting of the Highways and Transportation Working Group held on 27 June 2012.

(a) Minutes (Appendix 1)

RESOLVED , that the minutes of the meeting of the Highways and Transport Working Group held on 27 June be received.

(b) Crash Group Update (Appendix 2)

RESOLVED , that the report be noted.

In relation to the indicative funding shown for each stage of the Currock Bridge scheme, set out in the report attached at appendix 3, it was noted there was a risk that potential scheme costs could exceed the current budget, and that future tasks planned were conditional upon sufficient funding being made available by government. In discussion the point was made that there would be a contribution to the scheme costs from the 106 Agreement. Circulated at the meeting was a summary of initial community consultation undertaken by the Area Support Team which identified general support for Option 3.

Having regard to the recommendation of the Working Group that the scheme at West Walls should not be pursued at this time there was support to the view that a further report to a future meeting of the Working Group describing how the scheme had been developed to date was not required.

RESOLVED , that

(i) Currock Bridge Option 3 be further developed and the Area Support Team continue to undertake community engagement as the project develops;

Page 6 (ii) the West Walls Scheme in the non-devolved budget be not pursued any further, and any necessary steps be taken to delete this scheme from all programmes.

(e) Dalston Bus Stop Panel (Appendix 5)

RESOLVED , that the existing bus stops at the Square in Dalston remain as they are currently, and that the proposed new bus stops outside the Co- op be not provided.

(f) Bus Stop and Shelter Provision Durranhill Area (Appendix 6)

Reference was made to the fact that the local member for Botcherby was contributing £5,400 from his Local Member Schemes budget towards the cost of providing bus shelters at Geltsdale Avenue and Victoria Road, and the introduction of a bus stop clearway on Victoria Road. In order for this work to be completed in the current financial year it was suggested providing funding from the Local Committee’s underspends referred to earlier in the meeting (minute 45(1) refers).

RESOLVED , that a scheme for the provision of bus shelters at Geltsdale Avenue and Victoria Road, and the introduction of a bus stop clearway on Victoria Road, be prepared for inclusion in this year’s Minor Highways Improvements Capital List with funding of £5,400 from the Botcherby Division Local Member Schemes budget and £2,000 from the General Provision budget.

(g) Winter Service (Appendix 7)

RESOLVED , that the report be noted and recommendations made to Cabinet in time for its review meeting in August 2012.

(h) Development Control Annual Report 2011-12 (Appendix 8)

RESOLVED , that the report be noted.

In considering the report of the Highways and Transportation Working Group the Acting Highways and Transportation Manager agreed to seek clarification on the location of the flashing signs that had recently been moved from Brampton Road. The local member sought reassurance that these were still deployed in the Stanwix Urban and Rural areas.

Page 7 49 MONEY ADVICE CONTRACT - LOCAL PERFORMANCE REPORTING AND ARRANGEMENTS POST MARCH 2013

A report by the Chief Executive provided information on the delivery of the Money Advice Contract in the Carlisle area. Appended to it was a performance report covering the period October 2011 to March 2012.

The report also outlined the arrangements for the provision of Money Advice once the current contract ended in March 2013, and sought the Local Committee’s views on future requirements.

The Money Advice contract was delivered by Citizens Advice Cumbria which was a consortium of the 6 Citizens Advice Bureaux in Cumbria, namely Allerdale, Barrow, Carlisle, Copeland, Cumbria Rural, Eden and South Lakeland. The total value of the contract countywide was £317,000. Reference was made to the fact that, whilst the Local Committee had a budget allocation of £53,890 for Money Advice this was ringfenced and decisions about the delivery of the contract were taken by Cabinet. During the course of the debate it was suggested that it would be useful to have a discussion with the other Local Committees about the process in relation to the provision of Money Advice at a meeting of the Local Committee Chairs and Leadership.

Concerns were also raised about the fact that the Carlisle and Eden bureaux had merged. The Strategic Policy Advisor reassured members that the Local Committee’s budget allocation would only be spent on supporting families and individuals in the Carlisle area.

RESOLVED , that

(1) the information contained in the report be noted;

(2) a report from the Citizens Advice Bureau be presented to a future meeting of the Local Committee;

(3) the Money Advice Contract be included as an item for discussion at a future meeting of the Local Committee Chairs and Leadership.

50 ELECTORAL DIVISION LOCAL MEMBER SCHEMES

In presenting the report the Area Manager reported verbally on the proposed costings of a lighting scheme in the Longtown and Bewcastle area.

RESOLVED , that the following grants be approved:-

COUNTY COUNCIL LOCAL COMMITTEE FOR CARLISLE

Meeting date: 14 September 2012

From: Corporate Director – Resources

LOCAL COMMITTEE DEVOLVED BUDGET 2012-2013 MONITORING REPORT – HIGHWAYS BUDGET

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 This report presents the actual expenditure and commitments recorded against the Local Committee’s Highways Revenue and Capital Budgets as at 31st July 2012.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS

2.1 The Local Committee’s 2012-13 proposed Cash Limited Budget was informed to County Council on the 16 th February 2012. The Local Committee is able to vire funding between budget lines during the course of the financial year, subject to Corporate Policy and Service Standards. The Committee is not able to vire money from capital budgets into revenue budgets. 2.2 The carry forwards of Local Committee balances from 2011-12 into 2012-13 were approved at 21st June 2012 County Council meeting. 2.3 The original Highways revenue budget is £2,532,788. This is decreased by carry forward balances of £15,216 to give a spending limit of £2,517,572. 2.4 The original Highways Capital Budget is £2,860,000. This is increased by carry forwards of £395,030 to give a spending limit of £3,255,030.

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 Note the budget allocations for 2012-13 and the commitments and expenditure recorded to date;

3.2 Note the Highways Revenue budget is currently projecting an overspend of £15,216 at the end of the financial year;

3.3 Note the Highways Capital budget is currently projecting an underspend of £371,602 at the end of the financial year;

Page 33

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 The Highways Revenue budget is showing a projected overspend at this stage of the financial year of £15,216. This is mainly the carry forwards from 2011/12. The Area Highways and Transport Manager is looking into ways of reducing this overspend.

4.2 The Highways Capital Budget is showing a projected underspend at this stage of the financial year of £371,602. This is mainly due to carry forwards from 2011/12 not yet being allocated to schemes.

4.3 The year to date capital figure includes some significant credits in respect of accruals made at the end of 2011-12 but as yet the accounts have not been finalised. These are being examined to determine the actual value of charges now expected, but for this report the full accrual charge is assumed to be valid. A full review of the charges expected will be complete by the next meeting and this may allow further budget to be made available.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.0 The Local Committee may decide to vire money between budget headings or decide not to. Noting that the Local Committee is not able to vire money from Capital Budgets into revenue budgets.

6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.0 The recommendations in this report do not contain any specific financial implications. Local Committee could take decisions that would commit existing budgets against future expenditure.

7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.0 The recommendations in this report do not contain any legal implications; however, Local Committee could take decisions that could have future legal implications.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.0 The Highways revenue budget is showing a projected overspend for the financial year of £15,216. The Highways Capital budget is showing a projected underspend for the financial year of £371,602 are mainly due to the carry forwards from 2011/12 that were agreed in the June 2012 Council meeting.

24. MINUTES

The minutes of the last meeting of the Highways & Transport Working Group held on 27 June 2012 were agreed.

25. SPEED LIMIT REVIEWS – A6071 NEWTOWN AND C1028 BRAMPTON TO GILSLAND (VIA BANKS)

Mr Crawley presented to the Members a report to advise of the reinvestigation into the Speed limit Reviews which were previously reported to Local Committee on 1 November 2011. He advised the group that additional survey work had been carried

Page 51 out at Newtown and the outcome of these investigations highlighted that it would be appropriate to introduce a 40mph speed limit at Newtown which also include village area to the south of the A6071 being captured within this speed restriction.

A further survey was also carried out on the C1028 Brampton to Gilsland (via Banks) following a request by Local Committee for this to be revisited due to pedestrian and cyclists using this route. Mr Crawley advised the Group that the survey carried out provided information that was not dissimilar to the previous information received. Consultation with English Heritage and the Police took place which proved there was not a requirement for this speed restriction to be put in place. English Heritage were particularly keen not to have an intrusion of signs within this area. In addition and works would have archaeological implications.

Cllr Fisher enquired date when previous data taken as if data was taken in July/August it would have a different outcome to results taken at other times of year as during this period there is a high volume of continental buses and cyclists. Mr Crawley to advise the Group.

AGREED that the Group recommend to the Local Committee that:

1. The scheme for A6071 Newtown proceeds to formal consultation and inclusion in the Minor Highways Improvement Scheme list for consideration for implementation in the 2013/14 financial year, but for a 40mph speed limit (and not a 50mph as previously recommended).

2. That no change is made to current speed limit on the C1028 Brampton to Gilsland via Banks.

26. SPEED LIMIT REVIEW – U1095 LAVERSDALE

Mr Crawley presented a report to Members following a representation by Irthington Parish Council at Local Committee on 1 November 2011 for consideration to be given to introduce a 30mph speed limit through Laversdale. Following a further survey Mr Crawley advised the Group that introducing a 30mph to the village was not appropriate as surveys found the average speed limit to be 28.6mph. Indeed the imposition of a 30mph limit may have the effect of raising the speed at which people drive..

AGREED that the Group recommend to the Local Committee that there is no change made to current speed limit on the U1095 at Laversdale but that this to be reviewed again should the Carlisle Airport development proceed.

27. BROOKSIDE, RAFFLES – INSTALLATION OF SPEED CUSHIONS

Mr Crawley presented a report to Members advising the outcome of a formal consultation into the proposal to construct additional speed reducing features (speed cushions) in Brookside, Carlisle. Mr Crawley advised that following obligatory consultation under Section 90 A-F of the Highways Act 1980 and statutory advertisement which was undertaken no objections were received. Cllr Betton

Page 52 enquired about maintenance cost of these and Mr Crawley advised the group that the maintenance of these cushions is not significantly different to what is currently in place.

Cllr Martlew raised concerns over speeding in Crichton Ave and Bowe Street by boy racers and would like the Local Committee to look at the area generally regarding these problems.

28. A7 SPEED LIMIT REVIEWS – OUTCOME OF INFORMALCONSULTATIONS AND SPEED DATA COLLECTION

Mr Crawley presented a report to Members advising the outcome of an informal consultation as previously reported to Local Committee in November 2011 regarding the Speed Limit Reviews on the A7 consisting of extending current 30mph at Longtown and introducing a 50mph speed limit north of Blackford crossroads.

Mr Crawley referred to item 3.1 in which if there are no representations then Working Group is asked to recommend that Local Committee resolve that the Traffic Regulation Order be made as advertised.

Mr Walsh advised Members that as the A7 is part of CNDR PFI Project Network these works will be undertaken by Connect Roads and that in subsequent years a specific allocation would be required in the Local Committee Revenue Budget to pay for the ongoing maintenance costs of these improvement works

AGREED that the Group recommend to the Local Committee that

Page 53 29. GULLY CLEANSING SCHEDULE – CARLISLE CITY

Mr Poole presented a report to Members on gullies cleaned within Carlisle City accompanied with a list of where these have taken place along with details of where cars have been parked. Cllr Mallinson requested that any individual issues should be reported to Mr Poole at the end of the meeting. Cllr Weber feels that this is a well presented report highlighting to Members where works have been carried out.

AGREED that the Group recommend to the Local Committee that this report is noted.

30. REVIEW OF WINTER MAINTENANCE

Mr Poole presented a briefing note to Members on Review of Winter Maintenance within Carlisle City following changes to gritting routes two years ago. Cllr McDevitt raised concerns regarding removal of Morley Street junction Northumberland Street as this is an elderly residential area and feels they will be marooned if this is removed. Cllr McDevitt raised concerns regarding a bin which was previously agreed to be placed at No 1 Carvel Terrace but doesn’t appear to have been carried out. Concerns were also raised regarding bins being removed from No 2 and 68 Springfield, Broadoaks Grange and Wood Street which all have steep gradients. Mr Poole advised members that Wood Street is staying but would investigate others highlighted.

Mr Walsh asked for clarification on the implications of the changes, noting that there was a net decrease in proposed sites. Mr Poole indicated that opportunities would be taken to re-site bins.

Cllr Allison highlighted that a bin paid from his member’s funds at Baldwinholme does not appear on any lists. Mr Walsh advised that if it is presently used then it will be filled automatically in October and should be on Carlisle area list.

Cllr Fisher requested a list of grit bins within Brampton, Mr Walsh to advise.

Cllr Mallinson advised that all members should have opportunity to raise issues but should agreed this list in principle as it has been assessed by County Council criteria and any changes should be only reassessed against these criteria.

Post Meeting Note: as requested by members there has been an additional paragraph added to the winter maintenance Agenda Item to help clarify criteria for the positioning of Grit Bins.

AGREED to recommend to Local Committee that this report is noted.

31. CASTLE STREET RESTRICTED ZONE

Mr Poole presented a report to members setting out a proposal to implement a Restricted Parking Zone in the Historic Core of Carlisle City Centre whereby it was an aspiration to remove yellow lines within this quarter to enhance area. Mr Poole

Page 54 advised that it was previously agreed to seek permission from DfT and at that time did not succeed, as legislation has since changed this report has been brought back to the Group to seek agreement.

Ms Jenkinson presented an updated plan to Members of what is proposed confirming to Members that there are sufficient disc places available for residents with more places being made available on Abbey Street. Cllr Mallinson raised concern regarding complications previously raised by businesses within this area and would not hope to encounter these again. Ms Jenkinson advised Members that hopefully this would not be the case.

Mr Walsh raised concerns regarding time available to be able to carry out an informal consultation and implement before end of March as there may not be sufficient time to progress through Local Committee. It was suggested that the December Local Committee be invited to resolve that the Traffic Regulation Order be made if there are no representations following a formal advertisement in the late autumn.

AGREED that the Group recommended that the Local Committee that full support given to Carlisle City Council in taking forward the introduction of the restricted parking zone to further enhance the historic part of the city centre and approve that they carry out a full informal consultation to seek residents and public views on the plan to introduce a restricted parking zone in the Castle Street area.

32. HIGHWAYS & TRANSPORT SERVICE PROGRESS REPORT – CAPITAL PROGRAMME IN CARLISLE

Mr Walsh presented a report to Members on implementation of the 2012/13 Capital Programme as agreed at 22 March 2012 detailing a number of recommendations.

Mr Walsh referred to Page 83 which has been updated to include a preparation scheme looking at Lowther Street pedestrian improvement omitted from previous report.

Mr Walsh referred to Page 76 item 4.3 advising that at County Council in June it was agreed that some of the unspent money on CNDR land allocation be utilised towards ancillary works in relation to the CNDR route. This would include such items as tying up footways and cycleways in Orton Road, Newtown Road, Burgh Road and Kingmoor as it has became very apparent that the public use these routes but there are not currently linked.

Cllr Martlew raised concerns regarding lack of litter bins and especially for dog walkers having no suitable bins and would seek a contribution towards providing these facilities. Cllr Mallinson acknowledges that this would be a large undertaking for City and agreed Mr Walsh look into this.

Mr Poole raised an issue with HGV’s entering the City and it has become apparent that there are insufficient signs in place on radio routes. Mr Walsh will investigate

Page 55 and report back to the Group. If this were to be the case then a Traffic Order Regulation would be required to be changed as it currently lists all sign locations.

Mr Walsh advised the Members that traditionally there has been an agreement to carry over capital funds and reported that the proposed allocation of uncommitted monies is as listed on Appendix 3 and 4.

Mr Walsh referred to Item 4.7(b) whereby in June 2012 members agreed that an initial list of projects under each of the capital programme headings be brought back to the Group in August. A series of potential Improvement Schemes are detailed on Page 102-105 and Mr Walsh advised members that, although there is no guarantee that any of these will progress, he recommends that members agree a list that can be assessed by officers and put into a future works programme.

Mr Crawley reported on all items within Appendix 5 to Members. A number of issues were raised against items in the list and others that members thought should be on the list. Mr Walsh noted that Officers would now take the comments and score the items so that a prioritised list could be prepared.

Cllr Weber requested a report be brought back to confirm what will be put forward. Mr Walsh noted that this was planned for the meeting in October 2012.

Referring to Table 3 on Page 84, Cllr Fisher asked for clarification on legal landowner issue regarding C29 Dandy Line as he will be providing local member funds towards this cost and concerned this will go past re-election period. Mr Walsh to ask the Countryside Access Team to clarify situation.

AGREED to recommend to Local Committee that

(e) Note that funds are available for anon-devolved Improvement Scheme related to Improvements to Pedestrian facilities in Lowther Street 4.2.1

(f) Note that up to £1.250m has been made available, from an underspend on CNDR, to support ancillary works associated with the CNDR route as outlined in paragraph 4.3.

(g) Endorse the approach to be taken with regard the capital funds carried over from 2011/12 for recommendation top Local Committee as outlined in Paragraph 4.6

(h) Agree a list of schemes and projects under various capital improvement programme headings for recommendation to Local Committee as outlined in paragraph 4.7(c).

33. BRIEFING NOTE – CARLISLE PARKING STRATEGY

Mr Walsh presented a briefing note to Members to explain that alongside the on street surveys being carried out once University, colleges and schools return, it is proposed to hold an open day at an appropriate venue within the City to encourage the public to present their views on parking within zones A and C.

Page 56

It was noted that the informal Consultation on the Castel Street Restricted Zone referred to in Minute 31 above could form part of this event.

AGREED to recommend that Local Committee note this report

34. WORKING GROUP BRIEFING AUGUST 2012

Mr Walsh presented to Members a briefing note on other issues happening within Carlisle Area which may be of interest. Cllr Martlew raised concern regarding road markings at Court Square and feels that if there were left and right markings then it would ease traffic flow. Mr Walsh will consult with Network Rail.

Mr Walsh reported that more information has came to light following investigation regarding challenge on precious review on Lonsdale Street which may challenge what has been put forward from Solicitors. Mr Walsh will report further when known.

The Tour of Britain will be in Carlisle on 12 September and road closures will be implemented on a rolling closure basis on route throughout the City.

Cllr Martlew raised concern regarding vehicles exiting right from Milbourne Street onto Castle Way. There is no appropriate signage in place to advise drivers that this is a left turn only. Mr Walsh and Mr Crawley to investigate following this meeting.

Post Meeting Note: An additional paragraph has been added to this Agenda Item as a further update for members following the meeting held on 14 August 2012.

AGREED to recommend that Local Committee note this report.

35. CARLISLE CITY COUNCIL, UPDATE ON HIGHWAYS CLAIMED RIGHTS

Not for publication by virtue of Paragraphs 1 and 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, as this report contains exempt information relating to information to any individual and financial business affairs.

Mr Walsh presented to members a report providing an update on the County Council involvement in a review of the Claimed Rights being undertaken by the City Council.

CARLISLE HIGHWAYS & TRANSPORT WORKING GROUP

Meeting date: 14 th August 2012

From: Assistant Director – Highways and Transportation

SPEED LIMIT REVIEWS – A6071 NEWTOWN AND C1028 BRAMPTON TO GILSLAND (VIA BANKS )

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 This report seeks to advise Members of the reinvestigation into the Speed Limit Review for the two above mentioned routes.

1.2 These were previously reported to the Local Committee on 1 November 2011 as part of the major Speed Limit Review which was undertaken following the issue of DfT Circular 01/2006.

1.3 At that Committee members asked that the A6071 Newtown Irthington and C1028 Brampton to Gilsland via Banks be revisited.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATION S

2.1 The proposal presents very little opportunity for positive or negative impacts on the County Councils strategic aims to –

Challenging poverty in all its forms; Ensuring that the most vulnerable people in our communities receive the support they need; and Improving the chances in life of the most disadvantaged in Cumbria

2.2 However, Traffic authorities are required to keep speed limits under review. Existing Cumbria County Council policies on speed and speed limits commits the County Council to establishing criteria for setting mandatory speed limits.

2.3 The Local Transport Plan sets a number of targets for transport which are aligned with the new National Indicator Set and the Cumbria Agreement. The review of speed limits will contribute to the achievement of safety related targets /casualty reduction.

Page 59 2.4 No significant equality implications have been identified at this stage. The statutory consultation processes for Traffic Regulation Orders provide a mechanism to address any such perceived issues .

3.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

3.1 The Highways and Transport Working Group recommends the Carlisle Local Committee to note the contents of this report and to resolve that;

• the scheme for A6071 Newtown proceeds to formal consultation and inclusion in the Minor Highways Improvement Scheme list for consideration for implementation in the 2013/14 financial year, but for a 40mph speed limit (and not a 50mph as previously recommended);

• that no change is made to current speed limit on the C1028 Brampton to Gilsland via Banks.

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 A6071 NEWTOWN IRTHINGTON

4.1.1 The previous Speed Limit Review report presented to the Local Committee recommended that, based on information at the time that the report was initially prepared, a speed limit of 50mph be introduced through the settlement of Newtown.

4.1.2 At that same Committee (1 November 2011), Irthington Parish Council made representation under the Public participation element for consideration to be given to introducing a 30mph speed limit through Newtown on the A6071.

4.1.3 The County Member also requested that this be reinvestigated as it was thought that Newtown held many similarities with Smithfield, which has a 30mph limit. It should be noted that the 30mph limit at Smithfield was introduced (in 2004) before this DfT criteria was issued (in 2006). Smithfield just meets the DfT criteria to be classed as a village (and therefore subject to the 30mph speed limit as norm) due to its length and the fact that it has a Public house and school serving the surrounding area.

4.1.4 New speed data was obtained and the results of this, along with any recorded incidents, was analysed. The outcome of these investigations was that whilst Newtown did not meet the required criteria for a 30mph limit to be introduced, the most recent data did support the introduction of a 40mph limit.

4.1.5 Members of the Working Group are asked to refer to Appendix I which details the background, investigations, assessment of Newtown against the DfT criteria and estimated works costs for this scheme in detail.

4.2 C1028 BRAMPTON TO GILSLAND VIA BANKS

4.2.1 The previous report recommended that, based on the information, there was no requirement for a speed limit to be introduced.

Page 60 4.2.2 Local Committee asked for this route to be revisited due to it being used by pedestrians and cyclists and in order to do so, a new speed investigation was undertaken and any reported collisions were considered.

4.2.3 Informal consultation was also undertaken with the Police and with English Heritage.

• The Police can see no justification on the grounds of safety to implement a reduced speed limit;

• English Heritage commented that if a reduced speed limit were absolutely required for safety reasons, then they would work with the Highway Authority but they would be ‘delighted’ if they were not required for safety reason as minimising sign clutter is a recognised requirement of the World Heritage Site Management Plan. (A speed limit on this length of highway would involve a minimum of 24 no signs and posts being placed in the highway, directly on the line of a Scheduled Monument and in a World Heritage Site.)

4.2.4 Members of the Working Group are asked to refer to Appendix II which details the background, investigations, assessment of this route against the DfT criteria and estimated works costs for this scheme in detail;

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 The Highways Working Group can recommend to the Carlisle Local Committee that the results of these reinvestigations are noted and that, where works are justified, they are delivered in future years programmes.

5.2 The Highways Working Group can recommend to the Carlisle Local Committee that the works on the A6071 at Newtown are brought forward and delivered this year but to be aware that this would be at the expense and delivery of scheme(s) already programmed for delivery this financial year as the 2012-13 Capital budget is fully allocated. Members are asked to note that this scheme is currently included in the Minor Highways Capital Improvement Schemes list and as a result may be considered for delivery in 2013-14.

5.3 That no alteration be made to the current speed limit on the C1028 Brampton to Gilsland as the site does not meet any of the required criteria, nor are there any safety related issues.

6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1 If members decide to bring forward the A6071 Newtown scheme to 2012/13 from 2013/14, then another scheme that is programmed for delivery in 2012/13 will need to be reduced or deferred to 2013/14.

6.2 Current (2012-13) estimates for the A6071 Newtown scheme would be £6,000 but this will be subject to being priced by Connect Roads as the A6071 falls within their remit.

Page 61 7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1 There are no legal implications associated with this report at this time.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 The report advises the Working Group of the results of the re-investigations into the two speed limit reviews which they asked to be revisited at Carlisle Local Committee on 1 November 2011 and makes recommendations as to whether these sites meet the defined criteria to justify a reduction in the current posted speed limits.

NEWTOWN SPEED SURVEY RESULTS

Background:

Irthington Parish Council has requested through the Public Participation element at Carlisle Local Committee (1.11.2011) that a speed limit of 30mph be introduced on the A6071 which divides Newtown especially as this runs alongside the village green and the National Trail Hadrian’s Wall walk crosses the A6071.

This route had previously been considered as part of the Speed Limit Review on A & B roads as advised by the DfT Circular 01/2006 but did not meet any of the criteria for a 30mph speed limit, although data at that time supported a 50mph speed limit. Connect Roads had no objection to that proposal in principle, but were concerned about the benefits of it and that further investigation works be undertaken in respect of this regarding accident records and likely benefits of reducing the limit.

The Committee advised the Parish Council that this request would be investigated and that the A6071 at this location be revisited and reported back to the Highways & Transport Working Group but that a strict set of guidelines is required to be satisfied. Currently Smithfield is the only settlement along the A6071 which has a speed limit (30mph) which was introduced a number of years ago.

Newtown is a hamlet situated partly on and dissected by the A6071, but with the majority of properties (40no.)served by the U1098. The settlement is mainly linear in development along the U road with a small cluster of properties served by short unclassified roads off the A6071 on its northern side with 4 properties having direct frontage onto the A6071.

The A6071 carriageway width is approx 8m wide, with a short length of footway on the southern side, open green spaces either side of the A6071 and double white lines and road studs along the majority of the route in Newtown. There are warning signs in advance on both approaches to advise drivers that they may encounter pedestrians in the highway.

Investigations:

Survey lasted for 7 days - Friday 13 April to Thursday 19 April 2012. Counters were placed in the middle of the settlement adjacent to the phone box. Speed survey recorded the following:

• Daily average vehicle movements both directions –2104 no. vehicles

• Mean speed 36.5mph

• 85% tile speed 43.4mph

• 0.04% of vehicles travelled › 60mph • 0% of vehicles travelled › ACPO limit

Page 65 • No vehicles were recorded as travelling faster than 70mph – during the 7 day period of the survey 5 vehicles were recorded at travelling in the band 60- 65mph, and 1 at 65-70mph.

• Total of 14730 vehicles were counted, both directions 1.1% motorcycles 86.4% cars/cars & trailers 9.8% light goods vehicles 2.7% HGV/artics

Peak hours were 7am to 7pm, with the average total (so both ways) vehicle movement being 150 per hour.

Previous data:

Speed data was supplied by the Police from 2007 who recorded 15250 vehicles passing through the site, with the mean recorded speed being 46mph and the 85 th % 54mph. At that time the Police Traffic Management Officer stated that he would support a 40mph restriction here. As can be seen the mean speed recorded has since fallen, despite no engineering measures being undertaken, which may suggest that drivers are taking into account the road layout and the settlement.

DfT Criteria day day Hall Hall (20+) (20+) Locn Locn Road Road Mean Mean Other Other Injury Injury speed speed Upper Upper Lower Lower accdts accdts Village Village Length Length School School Church Church No. props No. props Traffic flow/ flow/ Traffic

2104/ 36.5 A6071 Newtown Yes No 255 5 direct Yes No No No None day mph

Notes : Upper Tier – high quality strategic routes, primarily through routes, typically A and B roads; Lower Tier – predominantly local, access or recreational in function, typically C and Unclassified roads.

DfT criteria for a village are as follows:

• 20 or more houses (frontage development on one or both sides of road); • Length exceeding 600m; • A density of at least 3 houses per 100m, particularly at either end of the village, as these give a visual message to drivers, and the limit should be reserved to cover the main body of the village only.

The DfT criteria recommend that 30mph should be the norm in villages where the appropriate criteria are met.

Newtown does not fit the DfT criteria:

• the length involved does not meet the requirements;

Page 66 • there are only 5 properties which directly front the A road; • The property density requirements are not achieved;

It therefore appears that the current (National Speed) limit is the correct limit when the criteria contained in this guidance are applied. However, the recorded speeds suggest that most drivers perceive speeds of between 36 and 43 mph to be appropriate when driving here.

The A6071 would be classed as an ‘upper tier’ road as it serves primarily a through function. The local police have also commented that the bend at the southern/eastern end on the A6071 is seen as a challenge by some drivers and the Police perceive that there may also be an issue for traffic using the U road junction when traffic is travelling on the A6071 from Brampton.

Visibility for traffic exiting from the U road onto the A6071 is restricted from the east to 80m owing to the road alignment and topography, as the road bends to the left and drops. Reducing the speed limit to 40mph would aid movements out of this junction, as the slower moving traffic would give drivers additional time to make their turn. It must be noted that in the previous 5 years there have no recorded incidents in Newtown apart from 1 damage only in 2008. (Prior to that, 1 serious 2004, 1 slight 2006).

In these circumstances, DfT Circular 01/2006 suggests that a 40mph speed limit may be considered here, and this would be the recommendation to follow at this location (this would also encompass the whole of Newtown on the adjoining U roads).

Estimated costs:

Assuming that a 40mph limit become the option pursued, road studs spacing would need amended and signs would be required, estimate £6000.00 but again cost would be dependant on Connect Roads pricing mechanism.

C1028/1025 BRAMPTON TO GILSLAND VIA BANKS SPEED SURVEY RESULTS

Background:

The original brief for the Speed Limit review was prepared in 2007 and whilst the intention of DfT Circular 01/2006 was that all County Councils review the limits on A & B roads, the C1028/1025 Brampton to Gilsland via Banks was identified in the Carlisle area brief for further study.

The outcome of the subsequent study recommended that there be no change to the limit here (currently national speed limit). Local Committee asked that this be reinvestigated.

The route from Brampton to Gilsland via Banks encompasses the C1025 and C1028. The C road alignment is generally narrow and winding, particularly from Brampton to Banks through Lanercost, and, becoming straighter from Banks following the line of Hadrian’s Wall which runs adjacent to this road and includes Birdoswald fort. These roads average 4.8m wide and the topography of these undulates following the land contours.

The route of the NCN 72 Hadrian’s Cycleway follows these roads, as does the National Trail Hadrian’s wall path, (although part of this is off highway following the Wall).

Investigations:

Survey lasted for 7 days - Friday 13 April 2012 to Thursday 19 April 2012. Counters were placed at Wall Bowers.

Speed survey recorded the following:

• Daily average vehicle movements both directions – 286 no. vehicles • Total vehicles for 7 days – 2001 no. vehicles • Mean speed 30.7 mph • 85%tile speed 43.4 mph • 11 no vehicles (0.5%) of vehicles travelled › 60 mph • 1 no vehicles(0.0%) of vehicles travelled › ACPO guidance • Total of 2944 vehicles were counted, both directions 5% motorcycles 84.5% cars/cars & trailers 10.2% light goods vehicles 0.3% HGV/artics

The assumption is made that most of this traffic will be local or tourists due to Hadrian’s Wall/Birdoswald/Lanercost Priory.

Page 69 Peak hours were 7am to 7pm, with the average total (so both ways) vehicle movement being 22 per hour.

This low density of vehicles movements (22 per hour average) combined with the mean recorded speed of 30.7mph would suggest that most drivers are driving at speeds appropriate to the road topography, alignment, width and gradients.

There are speeds recorded in excess of the mean 30.7mph and the 85%tile of 43.4mph. However, over the week, of the 2001 no. vehicles, 234 (11.7%) travelled at speeds of between 45-50 and 65-70mph, (only 1 vehicle travelled at between 66 and 70 mph). It must be taken into account that there are lengths on the C1028 where forward visibility is good allowing the driver to take into account oncoming traffic, presence of cyclists/walker and weather conditions and the road can be driven at an appropriate speed.

Settlements:

Lanercost only has a school, the Priory and Cricket Club. It has 5 properties with direct frontage.

Banks has 11 properties with direct frontage.

DfT criteria for a village are as follows: • 20 or more houses (frontage development on one or both sides of road); • Length exceeding 600m; • A density of at least 3 houses per 100m, particularly at either end of the village, as these give a visual message to drivers, and the limit should be reserved to cover the main body of the village only.

The DfT criteria recommend that 30mph should be the norm in villages where the appropriate criteria are met.

These lengths of highway do not meet the requirement of the DfT Circular 01/2006 and has the correct limit when the criteria contained in this guidance are applied to it.

Page 70 *Lanercost only has a school, the Priory and Cricket Club. It has 5 properties with direct frontage.

Additional matters to consider:

As previously mentioned, these routes follow the line of Hadrian’s Wall, a Scheduled Ancient Monument and World Heritage Site. The opinion of English Heritage has been sought in regard to any potential works in this location: they commented that if there is a safety requirement for these signs and that they are absolutely required for public safety, then English Heritage would work with the Highway Authority to try to secure them without unacceptable archaeological harm – as a minimum an archaeological watching brief would be required at each post location and it would likely be a requirement that evaluation work in the form of trial pits would also be required.

If the restrictions are not required for safety reasons, English Heritage would be delighted as it would limit the amount of clutter in this part of the World Heritage Site and its setting, which is a recognised requirement of the World Heritage Site Management Plan. There is currently very little highway related furniture along this length. The potential high volume of posts and signs which would be associated with this proposal would be visually intrusive.

The Police have also offered their opinion on this and state that when taking into account the length of settlement and current low mean speeds and low collision history, they do not see a requirement for the introduction of a reduced speed limit.

Estimated costs

Should a speed limit be introduced on this length (8000m), the minimum number of posts which would require to be erected would be:

• 4 at either end for the speed limit terminal signs; • 20 posts throughout for the required repeater signs;

Working on a budget of £500 per sign location, actual works are estimated to be in the region of £12000.00 excluding the additional costs for archaeological watching briefs and trial pits.

SPEED LIMIT REVIEW – U1095 LAVERSDALE

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 This report seeks to advise Members of the investigation into the Speed Limit on the U1095 at Laversdale.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATION S

2.1 The proposal presents very little opportunity for positive or negative impacts on the County Councils strategic aims to –

Challenging poverty in all its forms; Ensuring that the most vulnerable people in our communities receive the support they need; and Improving the chances in life of the most disadvantaged in Cumbria

2.4 However, Traffic authorities are required to keep speed limits under review. Existing Cumbria County Council policies on speed and speed limits commits the County Council to establishing criteria for setting mandatory speed limits.

2.5 The Local Transport Plan sets a number of targets for transport which are aligned with the new National Indicator Set and the Cumbria Agreement. The review of speed limits will contribute to the achievement of safety related targets /casualty reduction.

Page 75 2.3 No significant equality implications have been identified at this stage. The statutory consultation processes for Traffic Regulation Orders provide a mechanism to address any such perceived issues .

3.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

3.1 The Highways and Transport Working Group recommends the Carlisle Local Committee to note the contents of this report and to resolve that;

• no change is made to current speed limit on the U1095 at Laversdale

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 At Carlisle Local Committee (1 November 2011), Irthington Parish Council made representation under the Public Participation element for consideration to be given to introducing a 30mph speed limit through Laversdale on the U1095, on the grounds of the road being narrow with blind bends, considerable HGV usage and safety reasons.

4.2 Local Committee noted this request and advised the Parish Council representatives that Laversdale would be reviewed against the strict set of guidelines which were required to be satisfied before an introduction of a 30mph limit could be introduced.

4.2 New speed data was obtained and the results of this, along with any recorded incidents, was analysed. The outcome of these investigations was that Laversdale did not meet the criteria defined within DfT Circular 01/2006

4.3 Members of the Working Group are asked to refer to Appendix I which details the background, investigations and assessment of Laversdale against the DfT criteria.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 The Highways Working Group can recommend to the Carlisle Local Committee that the results of these investigations are noted and that no alteration to the current speed limit is made at Laversdale.

5.2 The Highways Working Group can recommend to the Carlisle Local Committee that this be reviewed again should the Carlisle Airport development proceed.

6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1 There are currently no financial implications associated with this report.

7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1 There are no legal implications associated with this report at this time.

Page 76 8.0 CONCLUSION

The report advises the Working Group of the results of the investigations into the speed limit review at Laversdale and recommends that at this time, as the site does not meet the DfT defined criteria, that the existing speed limit remains as it is.

LAVERSDALE SPEED SURVEY RESULTS

Background:

Irthington Parish Council has requested through the Public Participation element at Carlisle Local Committee on 1.11.2011 that a speed limit of 30mph be introduced through this community.

The Committee advised the Parish Council that this matter would be investigated but that a strict set of guidelines is required to be satisfied. These guidelines are set out in the DfT Circular 01/2006

Laversdale is a hamlet situated on the U1095. The settlement is mainly linear in development along the U road. It is approached from the south from a junction of the U1095 with the A689, a somewhat winding road which skirts the airport: from the north it is approached from a junction of the U1095 with the A6071.

The carriageway with is 4.8m and is subject to the National Speed Limit and is an unclassified road (U1095). The length involved is approx 700m.

Investigations:

Survey lasted for 7 days – Friday 13 April 2012 to Thursday 19 April 2012. Counters were placed in the middle of the settlement adjacent to the phone box. Speed survey recorded the following:

• Daily average vehicle movements both directions – 421 no. vehicles • Mean speed 23.0mph • 85%tile speed 28.6mph • 9.6% of vehicles travelled in excess of 30mph • 0.8% of vehicles travelled in excess of 36mph (ACPO guidance) • No vehicles were recorded as travelling faster than 45mph • Total of 2944 vehicles were counted, both directions 2% motorcycles 82% cars/cars & trailers 8% light goods vehicles 8% HGV/artics

Peak hours were 7am to 6pm, with the average total (so both ways) vehicle movement being 30 per hour. The chart below shows this.

Previous data:

Speed data was recorded in April/May 2009, on the northern exit from Laversdale (approach to A6071). This count took place outside the settlement boundary, and the mean speeds recorded here were 33.5mph

Page 79

DfT criteria for a village are as follows:

The DfT criteria recommend that a speed limit 30mph should be the norm in villages where the appropriate criteria are met.

Laversdale does not meet the requirement of the DfT Circular 01/2006 and has the correct limit when the criteria contained in this guidance are applied to it; it does not meet the property frontage or density requirements.

Traffic flow is low– the road topography and alignment does not appear to make it conducive to being used as a ‘rat run’.

DfT Criteria

Hall (20+) (20+) Locn Locn Road Mean Other Injury speed Upper Lower Traffic accdts Village School Length Church flow/day No. props U1095 Laversdale No Yes 700m No Yes No No No 421 (24 23 1 no hrs) mph (weather 403 (6am related to 10pm)

However, it is noted that future developments relating to Carlisle Airport may affect traffic behaviour and it is suggested that this matter is held in abeyance as development here may lead to Traffic Regulation Orders possibly being required as a result of traffic assessments.

BROOKSIDE , RAFFLES – INSTALLATION OF SPEED CUSHIONS

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 This report seeks to advise Members of the Working Group of the outcome of a formal consultation into the proposal to construct additional speed reducing features (speed cushions) in Brookside, Carlisle.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS

2.1 The proposal presents very little opportunity for positive or negative impacts on the County Councils strategic aims to –

Challenging poverty in all its forms; Ensuring that the most vulnerable people in our communities receive the support they need; and Improving the chances in life of the most disadvantaged in Cumbria.

2.2 Introduction of the scheme may adversely affect the aims of the Local Transport Plan key targets of reducing air, noise and light emissions and carbon consumption as vehicles travel over the speed cushions.

N.B. No significant equality implications have been identified at this stage. The statutory consultation processes undertaken for the placing of speed cushions in the highway provided a mechanism for any such perceived issues to be addressed.

3.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

3.1 That the Group recommends to the Carlisle Local Committee that new cushions are constructed in order to ensure that the required speed reducing spacing of the Cumbria Design Guide are met and the continuity of speed reduction in the Raffles area is maintained.

Page 83 4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 Members will be aware of the ongoing redevelopment in Raffles by Lovell Partnership.

4.2 The recent development of the Carlisle West Community Fire Station involved negotiations between the County Council and Lovells regarding their land. This led to the next phase of Lovells development (Site F) being redesigned to reflect a ‘land swap’ between the two parties to allow the Fire Station access to be suitably located on Brookside.

4.3 This redesign of Site F, which has full planning permission, meant that the access for this site was located on a current speed reduction feature, namely a flat top speed table which has a chicane on it, moving traffic from the left to the right hand side of the road.

4.4 This is not an appropriate location for a new estate road junction serving 25 properties. Discussions between Lovells, Cumbria Highways and the then Development Control Engineer for the Carlisle area led to the proposal that this feature be removed to allow the new junction to be constructed, with new speed reduction features, in the form of a pair of speed cushions being constructed at a point approx 55m further along Brookside. The plan in Appendix I shows this.

4.5 As speed cushions are classed as an obstruction in the highway, the installation of them has to be statutorily advertised and consulted upon under Section 90 A-F of the Highways Act 1980 and then, once placed in the highway, they are not to be treated as an obstruction but rather as part of the highway and are to be maintained as such. Statutory advertisement and consultation was duly undertaken from 27 April to 18 May 2012. No objections were received by Legal Services.

4.6 One comment was received from the City Council Access Officer and the Access Group in regard to the proposal direct to the Local Area Office. They had no objection to the removal of the flat top speed table or the installation of the cushions, but asked for dropped kerbs at a suitable point along Brookside, stating that driveways were not an acceptable alternative option. Due to the layout of driveways on this length of Brookside it would not be practical to install an additional dropped crossing point, as these would direct those crossing into the line of a driveway. However, either end of this length of Brookside has dropped kerbs and tactile paving located at the natural desire line for crossing this road.

4.7 No other comments, either for or against the proposal, were received during or after the formal consultation period.

4.8 The traffic/speed management in Raffles has been in place for some time now, in excess of 15 years. The length of Brookside in question is approx 175m in length and is subject to one way traffic west to east.

4.9 The location of the proposed cushions was selected to comply with the requirements of the Cumbria Design Guide, and the location of the housing

Page 84 layout approved under the planning permission. The cushions however were not conditioned under planning.

4.10 Redevelopment of this area is likely to lead to more on-street parking once properties become occupied, which serves in its own way as a form of speed reduction. Taking this into account along with the new Fire Station, the fact that this is a busy bus route, and that there are 5 junctions on this short length, members may wish on this occasion consider not installing these cushions. As the area is not subject to a 20mph, this would not compromise any Traffic Orders.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 The Highways and Transport Working Group can recommend to the Carlisle Local Committee that the speed cushions are located and constructed in the highway as per the consultation and layout drawing.

5.2 The Highways and Transport Working Group can recommend to the Carlisle Local Committee that the speed cushions are not installed.

6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1 There are no financial implications to the County Council for the costs involved in the legal, consultation or works costs for these speed cushions. All costs are being borne by the developer, who has completed a Private Works Agreement with the County Council.

6.2 If members agree to the installation of the speed cushions, then at some point in the future there will be maintenance obligations in regards to these features. These are not known at present and will need to be met out of the Highways Revenue budget.

7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1 There are no legal implications insofar as the recommendation in paragraph 3.1 is concerned.

7.2 If however Members resolve that speed reduction measures are implemented, then they must be certain that the provisions of Sections 90A-F of the Highways Act 1980, have been complied with, i.e. the procedures to be followed before the road humps can be constructed (which includes speed cushions).

7.3 The procedure involves consulting with the chief officer of police for the area in which the highway concerned is situated and the publishing in a newspaper in the area and on site of a notice stating the nature, dimensions and location of the proposed road humps and the address to which, and the period within which, any objections to the proposals may be sent (ie. Within 21 days).

7.4 The Authority, ie. The Local Committee, shall then consider objections sent to them (if any) in accordance with the notice and make a decision as to whether or not they should be constructed.

Page 85 7.5 No objections were received to the siting of these speed cushions.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 This report seeks to advise the Working Group of the results of the formal consultation regarding the removal of the existing speed table and the introduction of one pair of speed cushions on Brookside in Carlisle. These changes have been brought about by the ongoing developments in the Raffles area.

A7 SPEED LIMIT REVIEWS – OUTCOME OF INFORMAL CONSULTATIONS AND SPEED DATA COLLECTION

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 This report seeks to advise Members of the outcome of the informal consultation which was undertaken regarding the Speed Limit Reviews on the A7, as previously reported to Local Committee in November 2011

1.2 Members may recall that these sites were subject to review following the issue of DfT Circular 01/2006, with these sites being determined to be addressed in the first tranche of works to be undertaken as a result of that review in the Carlisle area.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATION S

2.1 The proposal presents very little opportunity for positive or negative impacts on the County Councils strategic aims to –

Challenging poverty in all its forms; Ensuring that the most vulnerable people in our communities receive the support they need; and Improving the chances in life of the most disadvantaged in Cumbria

Page 89 2.3 No significant equality implications have been identified at this stage. The statutory consultation processes for Traffic Regulation Orders provide a mechanism to address any such perceived issues .

3.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

3.1 The Highways and Transport Working Group recommends the Carlisle Local Committee to proceed to formally advertising a Traffic Regulation Order and formally consulting on the proposals to:

• Extend the current 30mph limit on the A7 at Longtown by 198m in a southerly direction to reflect the start of the settlement;

• Introduce a 50mph speed limit on the A7 from Junction 44 to a point 170m north of the Blackford crossroads (a distance of approximately 2500m).

3.2 Any Representations received will be reported back through the Local Committee process for determination. However, in the absence of any such representations, the Working Group is asked to recommend that Local Committee resolve that the Traffic Regulation Orders be made as advertised having taken into consideration the matters contained in Section 122(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 which are more specifically referred to at paragraph 7.2 of this Report..

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 A7 LONGTOWN

• Members of the Working Group are asked to refer to Appendix I which details the background, investigations, results of the informal consultation and estimated works costs for this scheme in detail;

• responses to the informal consultation are detailed in Appendix II;

• Appendix III shows the length intended to be covered by this extended 30mph limit.

4.2 A7 J44 TO BLACKFORD

• Members of the Working Group are asked to refer to Appendix IV which details the background, investigations, results of the informal consultation and estimated works costs for this scheme in detail;

• responses to the informal consultation are detailed in Appendix V;

• Appendix VI shows the length intended to be covered by this 50 mph limit.

Page 90 5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 The Highways Working Group can recommend to the Carlisle Local Committee that formal advertising of the proposed Traffic Regulation Orders and consultation with the Statutory Consultees and affected frontagers commences to extend the 30mph limit at Longtown south and to introduce a 50mph speed limit on the A7 from J44 to Blackford. These would fulfil the criteria contained within DfT Circular 01/2006.

5.2 The Highways Working Group can recommend to the Carlisle Local Committee that no further action takes place at these sites – this option is not however recommended as it does not fulfil the requirements of the DfT Circular 01/2006.

6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1 Members of the Working Group are asked to note that these works will be undertaken by Connect Roads as they are on the A7.

6.2 Connect Roads have provided estimates for the implementation of these schemes:

A7 Longtown - £11,500

A7 J44 to Blackford - £13,500

6.3 Cost estimates for the future maintenance of the these schemes, associated with the change order for Connect Roads, are £13,224.96 for the A7 Longtown and £19,241.00 for the A7 Junction 44 to Blackford crossroads, calculated over a 26 year period for routine & cyclic maintenance. This equates to approximately £500 / year for each scheme which is a reasonable estimate of the lifecycle costs.

6.4 Members should note that this annual cost will be payable to Connect Roads for the life of the CNDR PFI Contract and will increase by the increase in the retail price index each year and that it will need to be accounted for in future annual Revenue budgets.

6.5 Provision has been made for these schemes in this years Capital budget within Minor Highways Improvements, with £11,000 being allocated to the Longtown scheme and £16,000 to A7, J44 to Blackford Crossroads scheme.

7 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1 If Members agree the recommendations, Local Committee will consider any representations which are received to the formal statutory advertisement and will be required to take into account the matters contained in Section 122(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 in considering whether it is expedient to agree to the implementation of the advertised speed limits detailed in this Report for the reason specified at section 1(1)(a) of the 1984 Act, namely for avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising.

Page 91 7.3 Under Section 122(2), the matters which Local Committee must take into account in exercising that duty are: -

(a) The desirability of securing and maintaining reasonable access to premises;

(b) the effect on amenities of an area;

(d) the importance of facilitating the passage of public service vehicles and of securing the safety and convenience of persons using or desiring to use such vehicles; and

(e) any other matters appearing to the authority to be relevant.

8 CONCLUSION

8.2 The report advises the Working Group of the proposal to proceed to formal advertising of the required Traffic Regulation Order and consultation to the Statutory Consultees and affected frontagers.

8.3 In the event of there being any unresolved representations arising from the formal advertisement process, a revised report will be brought back to the Local Committee for determination of those representations.

8.4 The financial implications on future Revenue Budgets of introducing these improvements on the Connect Roads managed network are noted in the report.

A7 LONGTOWN

Background:

Longtown currently has a speed limit of 30mph which commences at its southern boundary approx 237m south of its junction with the A6071. An initial assessment of this length of highway, when applying the criteria of the DfT Circular 01/2006, recommended to Local Committee in October 2011 that the 30mph speed limit be extended along this length of the A7. Local Committee recommended that informal consultation commence.

The built up area of Longtown extends southerly from the existing 30mph limit for a further 198m to the ‘gateway’ feature of the nameplate and red surfacing, with a further 9 properties on the eastern side of the A7, all having direct access onto the A7. The speed limit on this length of highway is 60 mph (national speed limit). The carriageway width is 7.2m wide, with a footway width of approx 2.1m on the property side.

Requests have been made over a number of years that the speed limit of 30mph be extended to encompass this southern boundary of Longtown. The speed limit review under taken supports this.

Investigations:

No speed survey has been undertaken as the extension of this speed limit supports the criteria as defined in the DfT Circular and achieves the desired objectives:

• The local speed limit better reflects the needs of all road users, not just motorised vehicles; • The speed limit is more appropriate to the settlement; • Improves the quality of life for the local community; • That 30mph should be the norm in villages (where appropriate)

The extension of the limit here also reinforces the start of the settlement and the gateway feature currently in position adjacent to the Longtown name plate.

Informal Consultation:

This was undertaken in March 2012. All potentially affected frontagers, Parish Councils, County Councillors, the Police and Connect Roads were consulted. Responses in the main were very supportive.

Cllr Tarbitt fully supports the proposal, as does an affected resident and Connect Roads (who have been contacted previously by residents asking for this limit to be extended).

Whilst the Police support the proposal, they also state that some form of traffic calming would also be required – there is currently a ‘gateway’ feature by way of red

Page 95 surfacing on the road which would then be reinforced by the new speed limit signs, and it would be proposed to place ‘dragons teeth’, ‘rumble strips’ or countdown signage in advance of the relocated limit.

Estimated works costs:

Should Working Group and Local Committee recommend that formal consultation progresses on this scheme, the estimated works costs to be borne in mind are £11500.00. This is an increase from the original estimate due to the number of road studs which require to be removed and relocated.

The works will include: remove existing signs and posts and relocate to new location on new posts; remove existing red surfacing, road markings and road studs; lay new road markings and road studs (as the change in speed limit means that the length and position of these MUST be altered); relay red road surfacing; install ‘dragons teeth’ or ‘rumble strips’ in advance of the reduced limit.

The works, whilst being funded by Cumbria County Council, will be undertaken by Connect Roads and the final costs will be dependant upon their pricing mechanism.

Progression of scheme:

It is recommended that this proposal continue to being formally consulted upon for the extension of the existing 30mph speed limit to the boundary of Longtown, with the associated road markings and ‘dragons teeth’, ’rumble strips’ or countdown signage also forming part of this consultation.

A7 HARKER & BLACKFORD SPEED SURVEY RESULTS

Background:

Following an initial assessment of this length of highway, when applying the criteria of the DfT Circular 01/2006, it was recommended to Local Committee in October 2011 that a 50mph speed limit be introduced along this length of the A7. Local Committee recommended that informal consultation commence, and as part of this, up to date speed survey data was obtained.

This initial assessment was based on speed data recorded in 2009 and the accident statistics for that length of highway which showed that speed was an issue in 40% of recorded incidents along this length. Residents along that the length in question has also contacted the Local Area office previously to express their concerns regarding turning into their property driveways especially when they needed to cross the oncoming traffic lane. Investigations: Survey lasted for 7 days - Friday 13 April to Thursday 19 April 2012. Two counters were placed; one at Harker and one at Blackford. These surveys recorded the following:

BLACKFORD HARKER • Daily average vehicle movements 8927 no. vehicles 9212 no. vehicles • Mean speed 50.9 mph 45.3 mph • 85% tile speed 57.9 mph 55.3 mph • % of vehicles travelled › 60mph 9.9% 5.9% • % of vehicles travelled › ACPO limit (68mph) 2.2% 1.2% • Total vehicles were counted 62489 64481 % motorcycles 0.75% 0.70% % cars/cars & trailers 83.35% 83.6% % light goods vehicles 10.7% 10.6% % HGV/artics 5.2% 5.1%

Informal Consultation: This was undertaken in March 2012. All potentially affected frontagers, Parish Councils, County Councillors, the Police and Connect Roads were consulted.

Responses in the main were very supportive, although a number of residents felt that it didn’t go far enough and would like to see a 40mph limit.

Westlinton PC would like the proposal extended to the Westlinton crossroads, particularly following the most recent accident in that vicinity. This additional length was not considered at the initial investigation stage as:

Page 101 • it did not form part of the original brief, the locations initially selected for further investigation being identified by analysing traffic and accident data using the national criteria at a meeting of the then Principal Transport Policy Officer, Area Engineer, Police Traffic Management and the County Council’s consultant at that time; • it does not meet the frontage or density requirements of the DfT circular 01/2006; • Recent incidents at the locus were not related to speed (the most recent being loss of control, fatigue, distraction; prior to that, one in 2010 which was fatigue related; and one in 2009 which was caused by an animal in the carriageway; • VAS (vehicle activated signs) were installed on the A7 at Westlinton as part of a previous scheme to alert drivers to their speed when approaching the Westlinton crossroads.

There are therefore no proposals currently to extend the extents of this 50mph proposal, as the road layout, recent incident/collision records or property frontage/density does not support this. Drivers are likely to expect and respect a lower limit where they can see potential hazards, such as residential properties in reasonably close proximity. This is not the case on the length from Blackford to Westlinton, some 2200m of highway with 6 properties having direct frontage. When applying the DfT 01/2006 criteria to this length of road, the current speed limit of 60mph is the most appropriate.

DfT Criteria: Road Location Upper Lower Length No. props (20+) Hall School Church Other Traffic flow/day Mean speed Injury accdts Village A7 Blackford Yes No 2500 No No Yes- Yes No 8927 50.9 mph 15 slight; & Harker m Blackford adj – Blackford (57.9 6 11 adj 85%) serious; Blackford 1 fatal

Harker No No No Yes 9212 45.3 mph 10 Harker (55.3 85%) Harker

Circular 01/2006 states that mean traffic speeds should be used as the basis for determining local speed limits. These are underpinned by extensive research demonstrating the well proven relationship between speed and accident frequency and severity, and also reflect what the majority of drivers perceive as an appropriate speed to be driven for the road – the original mean speed driven on the road should be at or below the new proposed limit.

Page 102 Neither settlement, even when taken as a whole, meets the criteria to be considered as a village as they lack both the frontage property requirements and the required density. These are less built up communities and so the DfT criteria states that limits of 40 or 50mph can be considered.

The length considered is approx 2500m – Blackford being approx 1300m long with 11 properties having direct frontage and Harker in the region of 900m with 10 and the remaining distance being the road leading from Junction 44. Due to the linear layout of these two settlements and the fact that they ‘run’ into each other they have been considered together. The A7 at this location is generally a straight road, with undulations in the topography in the vicinity of Hill Farm/Bridge House, and a number of road junctions which serve the surrounding rural network.

The mean speeds recorded (50.9 mph at Blackford and 45.3 mph at Harker) support the informal consultation that a 50mph speed limit would be the most appropriate to introduce along this length of highway location. This will also ensure continuity of speed rather than having drivers increase/decrease their speed.

Estimated works cost:

Should the Working Group and Local Committee recommend that formal consultation progresses on this scheme, the estimated works costs to be borne in mind are £11000.00 to allow for erecting new speed limit terminal signs at 8 locations plus repeater signs along the A7 – there are no requirements to alter any road markings as the speed limit is not being reduced to below 40mph.

The works, whilst being funded by Cumbria County Council, will be undertaken by Connect Roads and the final costs will be dependant upon their pricing mechanism.

Progression of Scheme: It is recommended that this proposal continue to being formally consulted upon for the introduction of a 50mph speed limit, with that consultation explaining to the affected residents the criteria behind this decision.

Consultee Response Supports proposal but would like to see limit lowered to 40mph to Resident – Blackford match HGV limit Cllr Tarbitt Supports proposal for a 50mph speed limit Police Supports the proposal for the 50mph, but not the Parish Council request that it be extended towards Jerriestown/Westlinton,as it would detract from the current proposal – this additional length is straight with few frontages or junctions. There is an established camera site for the speed of HGVs on this length to be surveyed. Felt it would be beneficial to consider accident records and commented Stanwix Rural PC that they had not been consulted on this before Supports 50mph but would like to see a lower limit of 40mph being Resident – Harker introduced, similar to A689 at Houghton Does not think a 50mph speed limit will help and would like to see a Resident – Harker 40mph limit introduced Wholeheartedly supports proposal but would like to see a 40mph or Resident – Blackford even a 30mph be considered Supports the proposal for a 50mph speed limit but would like it extended to Jerriestown and The Boggs. They also circulated a list to Westlinton PC residents, responses detailed below: Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal and would like extended to Westlinton Resident – Westlinton via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal and would like extended to Westlinton Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal and would like extended to Westlinton Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal and would like extended to Westlinton Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal and would like extended to Westlinton Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal and would like extended to Westlinton Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal and would like extended to Westlinton Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal and would like extended to Westlinton Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal and would like extended to Westlinton Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal and would like extended to Westlinton Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal and would like extended to Westlinton Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal and would like extended to Westlinton Resident – Blackford via Westlinton PC Supports 50mph proposal and would like extended to Jerriestown

CUMBRIA COUNTY COUNCIL LOCAL COMMITTEE FOR CARLISLE

Highways and Transport Working Group

Meeting date : 14 th August 2012

From: Carlisle City Council

BRIEFING PAPER - REVIEW OF WINTER MAINTENANCE

Introduction

Members will recall that the Winter Maintenance service on the Claimed Rights roads was reviewed in 2010. The road gritting routes were modified and are considered appropriate and no changes are proposed.

The grit bin locations were amended in 2010 and some of the locations are considered to be inappropriate. Officers have reviewed all the bin locations taking account of the County Council Service Procedure. A list is attached detailing the old and proposed new grit bin locations. A Plan will also be available to be viewed at the meeting.

Members are asked to endorse the proposed locations.

When any requests are received for additional bins it is proposed these will be assessed by officers. If the location satisfies the Service Procedure requirements a bin would be approved subject to finance being available to fund its installation and maintenance.

The County Council service procedure with regard the provision of grit bins or heaps states that these are normally provided at bends, steep gradients, road junctions and in villages that are not served by Priority 1 & 2 pre-salting routes. Additionally they can be used when late treatment of gritting routes may cause problems e.g. near schools, buss routes or main distributors on housing estates. Decisions as to their placement are based upon accident history and local knowledge of difficulties experienced by road users. Consistency of decision making is important as inappropriate provision can lead to further requests for similar locations.

Meeting Date : 14 th August 2012

From: Carlisle City Council

CASTLE STREET RESTRICTED ZONE

1.0 Executive Summary

1.1 This report sets out a proposal to implement a Restricted Parking Zone in the Historic Core of Carlisle City Centre. The proposed scheme was discussed initially several years ago at the time the Castle Street and Historic Core works were being developed and was initiated to address the issue of enhancing the Historic part of Carlisle. It was last presented to Local Committee in 2010 when it was agreed to seek DfT approval but permission from the DfT was never granted. Due to legislation changes this revised proposal is presented to achieve the original intentions of the scheme. Work would be funded by Carlisle City Council as the previous work to enhance the area has been.

2.0 Strategic Planning and Equality Implications

2.1 The development of this scheme will assist the County Council to achieve the objectives set out in the Local Transport Plan (LTP3). It will also aid the Council to work towards its Council Plan priorities.

2.2 At present no Equality impact assessment has been carried out

3.0 Recommendations

3.1 The HTWG recommend that Carlisle Area Local Committee fully support Carlisle City Council in taking forward the introduction of the restricted parking zone to further enhance the historic part of the city centre.

3.2 The Highways and Transport Working Group recommend that the Carlisle Area Local Committee approve the proposal to carry out a full informal

Page 129 consultation to seek residents, and public views on the plan to introduce a restricted parking zone in the Castle Street area.

4.0 Background

4.1 Originally a proposal was tabled as part of the Renaissance scheme to enhance the Historic Core of the city. A scheme was developed to enhance the paving and to remove as many of the unsightly roadmarkings from the cobbled surfaces as possible as these did not reflect the historic nature of the area. As Members will be aware extensive work has taken place in Castle Street on West Walls and further work is imminent at Abbey Street/Annetwell Street junction. The works proposed in this report complement the work already completed.

4.2 This proposal has been tabled previously at HTWG and at the Local Area Committee and was given approval in principal pending permission from the Department for Transport to introduce a restricted zone in the Historic Core.

4.3 Under the then existing legislation the DfT required that a restricted zone be approved by them prior to implementation but it was not possible to deliver on the Historic Core proposal as the lining and signing and loading issues could not be resolved within the constraints of the previous legislation.

4.4 The legislation has now been amended to allow the restricted zone parking. The proposal for the Historic Core no longer needs approval from the DfT. In light of this change in legislation a plan has been developed showing a restricted zone.

4.5 The existing parking arrangements in the area are such that many drivers ignore the yellow line restrictions and park in inappropriate locations, often using blue badges. This results in obstructions to through traffic and detracts from the appearance of this historic part of the City. The proposals would ensure that parking took place only in the designated locations, which will be indicated using signs and lines as at present. Within the proposed zone parking will only be permitted where signs and lines indicate so the proposal will also enable the removal of the yellow lines and associated signs thus enhancing the appearance of the area. Additional provision is proposed for loading and blue badge parking to compensate for the fact that vehicles would no longer be able to park in the areas that formerly had yellow lines.

4.6 The plan, a copy of which is attached, shows the distinct areas of parking and loading which it is suggested should be allowed in the zone. No parking or waiting would be allowed anywhere in the zone other than in these defined parking and loading areas. The existing yellow lines can be removed and signage is only required to be displayed at the two entrances to the zone and at each specific parking or loading bay.

4.7 If approved the consultation would take place with a further report presented to HTWG later this year.

Page 130 5.0 Options

5.1 To carry out a full informal consultation of the residents and businesses in the immediate area to gather their views on these proposals.

5.2 Pending results from the consultation and subsequent report back to HTWG and the LAC, the Committee may modify the proposals if required and approve the proposal to implement the restricted zone in full, extending from Heads Lane on West Walls right through the city centre to Market Street, implementing parking and loading in marked bays only.

6.0 Resources and Value for Money Implications

6.1 Carlisle City Council has a sum of £10,000 carried forward from the 2009 Historic Core enhancement scheme. This would cover the staff costs, the legal work and all signing and road marking and removal where necessary.

6.2 As Cumbria County Council may not be able to deliver the scheme in this financial year Carlisle City Council can provide the resources to progress the scheme in partnership with Cumbria County Council.

7.0 Legal Implications

7.1 The revised national legislation recently introduced means that restricted zones can be implemented now without seeking special authorisation from the DfT. The works proposed are adding to the existing parking provision in the area so should meet the expectations of businesses and residents in the area.

7.2 There could be legal implications and objections to any proposals to remove loading to any of the properties or businesses in the area. This justifies the amount of loading availability proposed in the zone.

8.0 Conclusion

8.1 The funding for this scheme cannot be carried forward for another year and Carlisle City Council feels that the scheme would be a huge benefit to transforming the area, making it less congested and much more pedestrian and tourist friendly. This could be achieved by City officers undertaking the consultation and both City and County officers working together on delivering the scheme pending the results of the consultation and subsequent approval from LAC and within the constraints of the amended legislation.

• The current double yellow lines restrictions operate 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year but there is an exemption for blue badge holders for 3 hours and unrestricted loading. This contributes to the congestion in the area. • The current single yellow line restrictions operate Monday to Saturday 8.30am-6pm but there is an exemption for blue badge holders for 3 hours and unrestricted loading. This contributes to the congestion in the area. • The current disc zone parking restrictions that operate in the area are for zone C. waiting is limited to 1 hr and the hours of operation are Monday to Saturday 8.30am-6pm. This is not proposed to change. There is an exemption for permit holders and blue badge holders. This would also apply to the proposed disc parking bays. • The Greenmarket currently is restricted access but this cannot be enforced by CEO’s and really should be done by the police. • The proposed loading bays are envisaged to operate Monday to Saturday 8.30am-6pm. This would allow unrestricted parking outside of these hours for

Page 133 visitors and residents. No loading to any of the businesses takes place on a Sunday and this would also assist with the provision for church goers. • The current blue badge holder parking bays that operate in the area are Monday to Sunday. Waiting is limited to 3 hrs and the hours of operation are 8.30am-6pm. This is not proposed to change. This would also apply to the proposed blue badge holder parking bays. • The restricted zone is proposed to be enforce at all times and as such will restricted all loading and parking to marked bays only and allow the removal of all the yellow line markings.

CARLISLE HIGHWAYS & TRANSPORT WORKING GROUP

Meeting date: 14 th August 2012

From: Assistant Director – Highways & Transportation

HIGHWAYS & TRANSPORT SERVICE PROGRESS REPORT – CAPITAL PROGRAMME IN CARLISLE

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 This report updates members on implementation of the 2012/13 Capital Programme as agreed by Local Committee at their meeting of 22 nd March 2012.

1.2 The report provides information on the funds carried over from 2011/12 and suggests how they should be allocated.

1.3 The report also provides members with an opportunity to consider the prioritisation of future capital improvement programmes.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS

2.1 The Council Plan 2011/14 was agreed by Full Council in February 2011. The Council Plan sets out the role of the Council and the Council’s strategic priorities and aspirations for the 3 years from 2011/14. The draft revenue budget and capital programme has been developed with the aim of supporting the delivery of all the Council’s aspirations, as set out in the Council Plan, with a focus on the priorities of challenging poverty in all its forms, ensuring that the most vulnerable people in our communities receive the support they need, and improving the life chances of the most disadvantaged in Cumbria.

2.2 The Council’s revenue budget and capital programme are key to achieving the aim underpinning the Council’s priorities and aspirations of being as effective and efficient as possible, prioritising services, targeting resources where they are most needed, re-engineering services to find a new, different and more effective and efficient ways to do things, and focusing on our customers, putting people at the heart of everything we do.

2.3 There is no requirement for an Equality Impact Assessment at this stage. Equality Impact Assessments will be undertaken on a scheme specific basis

Page 137 for those Works which have received approval to proceed and exceptions will be brought back to the Group for consideration.

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 That the Working Group considers all the matters raised and makes suitable recommendations to the Local Committee. Specifically members are asked to

(a) Note that a non-devolved Improvement Scheme related to Improvements to Pedestrian facilities in Lowther Street is in preparation 4.2.1

(b) Note that £1.250m has been made available, from an underspend on CNDR, to support ancillary works associated with the CNDR route as outlined in paragraph 4.3.

(c) Endorse the approach to be taken with regard the capital funds carried over from 2011/12 for recommendation top Local Committee as outlined in Paragraph 4.6

(d) Agree a list of schemes and projects under various capital improvement programme headings for recommendation to Local Committee as outlined in paragraph 4.7.3.

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 The Highways Capital Programme covers a range of activities some of which are centrally determined and others where decisions are devolved to local committees.

4.2 Appendix 1 sets out the schemes approved in the 2012/13 non-devolved capital budget, under the different capital blocks: Principal Road Network (PRN) Structural Maintenance, Bridges & Structures and Integrated Transport (which is sub divided into 5 separate areas of work). The tables included a simple “traffic light” system with a commentary against any schemes that are of concern.

(a) In relation to the improvement Schemes over £50,000 it has become clear that a scheme has been missed of this list in previous reports namely preparation work to investigate the feasibility of improving the environment for Pedestrians in Lowther Street. Investigatory work utilising existing and some new traffic surveys and modelling work is being arranged to provide background information to allow informed options to be prepared later in the year.

(b) Members will be aware that the Currock Bridge consultation activity successfully identified that the Option 3 route was the most acceptable to the local communities. This is now being developed into the scope of the work to be put out to our design consultants.

4.3 At County Council Meeting on the 21 st June 2012 it was agreed “to carry forward the £1.250m CNDR capital payment underspend to support ancillary

Page 138 works associated with the CNDR route (detailed schemes will be developed in 2012/13 and brought forward for approval through the appropriate mechanism)” It is proposed that these ancillary works will include projects to link the CNDR new road with the footpath / cycle links on some of the radial routes in the City such as Orton Road, Moorhouse Road, Burgh Road and Kingmoor Road. Initial investigations are presently being undertaken and a detailed report will be brought to the working group later in the year.

4.4 Appendix 2 sets out the schemes approved in the 2012/13 devolved capital budgets and as noted in 4.2 above also has a “traffic light” system added to the published tables.

4.5 In relation to the programmed schemes listed in Appendices 1 & 2 members will note that the majority are on track.

4.6 At the Carlisle Local Committee on 30 July 2012, it was reported that there was a carry forward of £395,030 from the 2011/12 Devolved Capital Highways Budget.

(a) The main reason for this was that some works ordered with Amey (NPRN only) were not commenced or completed. These are shown in Appendix 3, a total value of £207,018. It is proposed that these schemes have first call on the budget carried forward, most of which have already been re-ordered as these were prioritised works.

(b) In addition there have been substantial credits which came back into the budget in March 2012 as a result of agreeing the final accounts with both Carlisle City Council and Amey for the Financial year 2010/11. It is proposed that the remainder of this budget carried forward be used to carry out further schemes from the 2012/13 prioritised list of NPRN schemes approved by Carlisle Local Committee on 22 March 2012, as set out in Appendix 4.

4.7 Members may recall that a Transport Capital Programme (future development) report was presented to Local Committee on the 9th May 2012. This report was aimed at making arrangements to provide Members with details of the proposed process for the development of the 2013/14 Transport Capital Programme and beyond.

(a) In June 2012 members agreed that an initial list of projects under each of the capital programme headings be brought before the working group in August 2012 for consideration. This can then be refined at the October meeting before final agreement in December.

(b) Appendix 5 of this report lists the projects that have been identified from a number of sources in recent months. These sources include the CRASH Group, Parish Council and member referrals, direct requests from road users.

(c) Members are asked to comment on this list in particular identifying the level of community interest that there might be in each one. This information can then be used alongside the technical and financial data when prioritising

Page 139 5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 The Highways and Transportation Working Group may make any recommendations to Carlisle Local Committee based on the issues raised in this report.

6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1 Unspent balances from 2011/12 of £389,592 relating to Highways Capital Budget and £5,437 relating to Highways Winter Damage Budget were approved to be carried forward to 2012/13 at the County Council meeting of 21 st June 2012.

6.2 A structured approach needs to be taken to identifying, assessing and allocating resources to both maintenance and improvement schemes. The Highways Service is developing an asset management approach to help ensure that the process is robust and consistent across the Authority.

6.3 By understanding the process being developed members can contribute to ensuring that scarce resources are allocated where they will be most effective.

7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1 The County Council has statutory duties to maintain the highway and in certain circumstances could be held liable for injury damage or loss caused to users of the highway as a result of failure to take responsible precautions to secure their safe use of the highway. There are no other direct legal implications.

7.2 The allocation of resources available for highway improvement schemes on the basis of demonstrable priorities would support the Council’s defence against any third party claims that might be made on the basis of loss suffered allegedly as a result of a failure to improve the highway.

7.3 Local Committee is empowered, by virtue of paragraph 26 of the County Council’s constitution, to determine and deliver certain programmes, within agreed budgets, policies and standards, around the County’s highways network, as covered in this report. Accordingly, Local Committee will be able to take into account Working Groups recommendations when deciding on those programmes.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 This report updates the working group on progress with the 2012/13 Capital Programme and provides further insights into the development of future year’s programmes.

CARLISLE HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORT WORKING GROUP

Meeting date: 14 August 2012

From: Assistant Director- Highways & Transport

BRIEFING NOTE - CARLISLE PARKING STRATEGY

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 This report sets out to advise the group of the need for informal consultation to compliment the parking surveys agreed at the Local Committee on the 30 th July 2012. The consultation would be in the form of a city centre drop in event for all residents with a principal focus on zones A and C.

2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 It was requested at Local Committee in July 2012 that data collection in the form of beat parking surveys are undertaken to inform the development of the Carlisle parking strategy.

2.2 In order to assist with the application of the beat survey results, and ensure the continued momentum of the parking review, it is proposed that further information collection takes place. This would be an informal consultation in the form of a drop in session in the city centre.

2.3 The drop in would focus principally on zones A and C areas of the city but would be available for all residents to attend and comments on other areas of the city would be noted. This consultation will compliment the results of the beat surveys and help offer a guide as to the issues facing residents.

3.0 OPTIONS

3.1 That the Highways and Transport Working Group recommend to Carlisle Local Committee that informal consultation in the form of a drop in session in the city centre is undertaken. The thoughts and concerns of the residents are an important consideration when developing the parking review.

Page 171

3.0 CONCLUSION

3.1 In order to keep up the momentum of the parking review it is recommended that informal consultation is undertaken to compliment the beat surveys that are due to be undertaken in the autumn.

3.2 The results of this informal consultation will be reported back to Local Committee along with the beat survey results at the December meeting.

Briefing

Number of Briefing: CA12/03 Title of Briefing: Working Group Briefing August 2012 Date: August 2012 Author: Kevin Walsh Unit / Directorate: Highways and Transport, Environment Audience: Carlisle H&TWG

1.0 Background

There are a number of highways & transport issues that could be of interest to members some of which may become of greater importance and may require decisions by the Local Committee in due course. This Briefing Note identifies these and provides a short summary of information on each so that members have early sight of the potential problems and opportunities for the Committee.

No action is considered necessary at present but members’ views are sought and an informal discussion of these issues may be helpful.

2.0 Key Issues

1. Court Square Traffic Movements

Concerns have been raised regarding the guidance for road users exiting from Court Square. The layout of the circulation system points vehicles towards English Street / The Crescent and this is appropriate as we would not wish to encourage unnecessary vehicle movements down Court Square Brow and English Damside.

2. Lonsdale Street VO4 Challenge

Members will be aware that following a challenge to some alterations to parking in Lonsdale Street officers have been investigating changes to the layout of the street. Evidence has been obtained that shows the road layout for a period of nearly 60 years prior to the improvement works in the late 1980s. This will be submitted to the challengers Solicitors shortly to seek a withdrawal of their objection. We hope to be able to report on this further direct to Local Committee on 14th September.

Page 173

3. Tour Of Britain Cycle Race, 12 September 2012

This race will involve Closures in the Castle St area of the City from midnight the night before until 13.00 hrs on the 12th, and a rolling closure over the route from the City centre to the District Boundary at Wreay Bridge.

4. Caldewgate, Sainsbury’s Development

Members will note that the road works to modify the A595 at Caldewgate have been substantially completed. The new traffic signals are being commissioned and traffic delays should be substantially over by the end of August.

5 Meetings with Parish Council Representatives

Following requests from Stanwix Rural, Irthington, Rockcliffe & Kingstown Parish Councils two meetings have been held recently

Concerns from Stanwix Rural and Irthington were related to accidents and traffic flows along the A689 between M6 J44 and the A69. A representative from Connect Roads attended the meeting and we will be discussing the requirements for route study work on this section of road with them.

Concerns in the Rockcliffe / Cargo area related to HGV movements in the area and in particular the access arrangements to BSW on Cargo Road. Plans for the improvement of access arrangements to BSW were discussed and the issue of a promised 7.5tonne limit in the area was raised. Further investigation into the latter issue is to be undertaken.

COUNTY COUNCIL LOCAL COMMITTEE FOR CARLISLE

Meeting date: 14 September 2012

From: Chief Executive

LOCAL COMMITTEE PROJECTS

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 This report outlines some principles for funding local projects. Most require further work to firm up the options but the report seeks views and support on these.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS

2.1 The County Council’s key priorities are:

Challenging poverty in all its forms;

Ensuring that the most vulnerable people in our communities receive the support they need; and,

Improving the chances in life of the most disadvantaged in Cumbria

2.2 Through the Area Plan the area priorities are:

Economic Growth

• Attracting investment in jobs by developing the local infrastructure and supporting small medium enterprises (SME), as well as maximising the benefits of the Carlisle Northern Development Route (CNDR);

• Keeping existing jobs in the area and encouraging private sector investment that supports communities, e.g. in commercial service bus provision;

• Looking at the opportunities to open up development land for jobs and necessary housing and considering the potential for a southern link to the M6 and the West Cumbrian coast.

Page 179

Accessibility

• Ensuring we have service provision in the rural areas, for example youth activities through the 0-19 funding and library access for older people;

• Developing our integrated transport systems, particularly the cycle routes, to deliver a network across Carlisle while developing links to the new CNDR cycle and walking route provision.

Strong communities

• Using the council’s own facilities to access and support community groups (including the new Community Fire Stations, support from our Community Grants and our continued engagement with communities);

• Continuing educational campaigns and joint working with the Credit Union and our services (such as Trading Standards) to deal with loan sharks and promote better money management.

Health and Well-being

• Supporting an ageing population;

• Helping support the fitness of people in the area, particularly young people, and the issues of child obesity, teenage pregnancy and reducing smoking and alcohol misuse;

• Tackling deprivation;

• Working with partners to ensure the delivery of sufficient levels of specialist housing to meet the needs of all within the community.

2.3 An Equality Impact Assessment is not required for this report.

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 To determine allocations from the current unallocated balances to the projects listed in Appendix 1.

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 At the last Local Committee meeting approval was given to the Area Plan for Carlisle and there was a review of commitments in the Communities Budget. This report builds on these decisions and presents a number of options for consideration.

4.2 Members are asked to consider the proposals in Appendix 1 and agree that further work be carried out to firm up the proposals determining allocations against these or other projects.

Page 180

4.3 As part of the projects listed reference is made to a joint study being undertaken by the City and County Councils to review the provision of sports facilities and playing fields (including school playing facilities). This study is aimed at determining a joint strategy around the provision of sports facilities in the area for the future and will assist in consideration of funding opportunities to future projects.

4.4 Also listed is an option to develop a new phase of Alleygate projects. The community engagement, consultation and partner engagement to achieve such a programme is significant and will take time to develop such a programme. If the Area Support Team, supported by the local Highways officers, were to begin work on this it would take up to 6 months before any project delivery costs would be incurred.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 To approve the commitments against the projects outlined as presented, make alternative suggestions or not approve the proposals.

6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1 The spending limit for General Provisions for 2012-13 is £65,689 with £26,625 already allocated this leave an unallocated balance of £39,164. Should the amounts in the appendices be approved then the General provisions would be fully utilised in this financial year. The Local Committee could also consider using the Area Projects Grants which currently has an unallocated balance of £17,721.

6.2 The School Crossing Patrol spending limit is £88,481 with amounts committed for schemes and the SCP Contract of £63,642 leaving an unallocated amount of £25,139. Extrapolating current spent to date on the contract this would give a projected total spend on the annual contract of £19,984 (£4,996 - already spend x 4 quarters). Should the contract stay the same throughout the year then this would leave a balance of £20,376 from the annual contracted amount. Therefore, in theory there could be an unallocated amount of £45,515 for reallocation for road safety schemes.

6.3 The Debt Rescue and Money advice contract has no annual budget this year. However, there is an amount of £6,794 brought forward from last years budget. If the recommendation is approved this would fully utilise this brought forward balance.

7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1 Paragraph 5.25 of the Constitution authorises local committees to approve local member scheme proposals i.e. projects which offer benefits to communities in the electoral division concerned and help resolve local issues already identified through local community engagement and in line with the priorities within the Council Plan and specific local priorities within the area plan for the Local Committee area. Therefore the recommendation of this report is in line with the Constitution.

Page 181

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 This report sets out a number of projects for possible funding utilising projected unallocated resources to target the recently agreed priorities in the Area Plan.

Additionally, and as a separate power, paragraph 22 of Part 5 of the Constitution enables Local Committees to allocate, in accordance with the guidance agreed by Cabinet on 3 March 2011, funds from the 0-19 services budget in order to support positive activities, both targeted and mainstream, designed to improve outcomes for children and young people and reduce inequalities and, in doing so, ensure that projects should address at least one of the following criteria:

Providing access to play, recreational, leisure or outdoor activities. Providing access to care or educational activities. Providing access to safe and enjoyable places for children and young people to go. Providing access to holiday, weekend or out of school activities. Enabling children and young people’s involvement and participation e.g. forum, youth council, engagement, empowerment, decision-making.

CUMBRIA COUNTY COUNCIL LOCAL COMMITTEE FOR CARLISLE

Meeting date: 14 September 2012

From: Chief Executive

ELECTORAL DIVISION LOCAL MEMBER SCHEMES

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 This report presents a number of projects to be funded from the Local Member Schemes (LMS) budgets and some adjustments to previous approved schemes and LMS budgets. The report includes Members’ proposals that have been sufficiently investigated and developed, to enable Local Committee to consider spending decisions.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS

2.1 Proposals coming forward under the Local Members Scheme should be projects which offer benefits to communities and help resolve local issues already identified through local community engagement and which are in line with the priorities within the Council Plan and specific local priorities within the Area Plan for the Local Committee Area.

2.2 If these proposals are developed as a result of effective community engagement they will also contribute to increasing community perceptions of their ability to influence the delivery of public services.

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 That the adjustments outlined in Appendix 1 to the individual commitments and approved schemes be approved.

3.1.1 Which includes allocating the following schemes or part scheme funding to the Local Member Scheme Capital Budget:

Castle: £50 Improvements to frontage of John Street

Dalston & Cummersdale: £402 Installing sign to deter parking at Barras Lane, Dalston

Harraby: £145 Improvements to Harraby Catholic FC Ground - Gilford Park

Page 223

Longtown & Bewcastle: £ 615 New carpet for Longtown Carpet Bowling Club

Upperby: £ 1,307 Renewing gullies in Upperby Area

Members approve the following:

3.2 A revenue grant of £11,000 from the Botcherby Division LMS budget to provide additional parking in the Cumrew Close area of Durranhill.

3.3 A revenue grant of £220 from the Longtown & Bewcastle Division LMS budget to contribute towards the purchase of a new multimedia projector for the Reiver Arts and Craft Group.

3.4 A revenue grant of £480 from the Stanwix & Irthington Division LMS budget to contribute towards the purchase of IT equipment for Carlisle Youth Zone to deliver a rural outreach programme.

3.5 A capital grant and a revenue grant of £4,000 (£1189 capital; £2811 revenue) from the Stanwix & Irthington Division LMS budget to Stanwix Rural Parish Council to contribute towards the redevelopment of Crosby on Eden play area.

3.6 A revenue grant of £931 from the Stanwix & Irthington Division LMS budget to Hethersgill Village Hall Committee to contribute towards the purchase of new tables and blinds at the village hall.

3.7 A revenue grant of £1,500 from the Wetheral Division LMS budget to Carlatton & Cumrew Parish Council to support the cost of installing roadside kerbing in Cumrew Village.

3.8 A revenue grant of £10,000 from the Wetheral Division LMS budget to Wetheral Community Association to contribute towards the construction of a new community centre in Wetheral.

3.9 Members are also asked to note that due to likely proposed changes to the Electoral Division boundaries next year it is strongly recommended that the remaining balances on the LMS budgets are fully utilised within the term of this Council.

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 The general options available to members are to:

• propose a single project; or several smaller elements of eligible activity which could be amalgamated within a wider eligible and agreed programme of works

• support projects inside and outside of their electoral division • combine their allocations with other County Councillors to support larger scale projects.

Page 224

4.2 Appendix 2 contains the detail on the proposals for consideration. Each proposal ends with a summary assessment given by the Area Engagement Officer, having regard to any technical or other advice from colleagues in relevant Directorates.

4.3 As part of the 2011-12 County Council budget settlement for Local Committees, there was a new revenue scheme, financed for one year only, but available across two financial years. It makes available, through Local Committee decisions, £12,000 in respect of each electoral division across Carlisle. Being revenue, it is not constrained by the capital expenditure rules. In addition as part of the 2012-13 County Council budget settlement for Local Committees, there was additional revenue finance provided for one year only but available across two financial years. This provided a further £10,000 in respect of each electoral division across Carlisle but can be spent up to the 2013-14 financial year.

4.4 Following a review of previously approved schemes and the commitments there are a number of minor changes proposed. This will add commitments to the Capital LMS budget with the aim of spending this budget by the end of the year. In Appendix 1 there is a summary of changes to schemes allocated to already approved revenue funded schemes to be transferred to the LMS capital budget. The net effect will be to slightly increase the available balances on the revenue LMS budgets in this financial year.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 Members can approve, vary or reject any or all of the recommendations, within the delegated frameworks of the Local Member Scheme.

6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1 Following its meeting of 30 July 2012 Local Committee has unallocated balances available of £240,156 in the Local Member Revenue Schemes budget and £5,569 in the Local Member Capital Schemes budget

6.2 The recommendations if approved would allocate £24,423 from the Local Members Revenue Schemes budget and allocate £3,708 from the Local Members Capital Schemes budget.

6.3 The recommendations if approved would leave a balance of £215,733 available for future allocation from the Local Member Revenue Schemes budget and £1,861 from the Local Member Capital Schemes budget.

7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1 The Local Committee is empowered under the Constitution to approve Local Member Scheme proposals, i.e. projects which offer benefits to communities in the Electoral Division concerned and help resolve local issues already identified through local community engagement and in line with the priorities

Page 225

within the Council Plan, and specific local priorities within the Area Plan for the Local Committee area. (HM)

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 The use of these Electoral Division Local Member Scheme budgets, when linked to the Council’s well-being powers does enable a flexible response to perceived local needs, and is capable of resolving some long standing blockages and frustrations for local people, having regard to wider community benefit as a key outcome.

Agenda Item 12

COUNTY COUNCIL LOCAL COMMITTEE FOR CARLISLE

Meeting date: 14 September 2012

From: Chief Executive

AREA PLAN AND PERFORMANCE REPORTING

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 Following approval of the Area Plan this report outlines the next steps for using the Area Plan and developing the performance reporting that is appropriate to the Local Committee.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS

2.1 The County Council’s key priorities are:

Challenging poverty in all its forms;

Ensuring that the most vulnerable people in our communities receive the support they need; and,

Improving the chances in life of the most disadvantaged in Cumbria

2.2 The work of the Area Plan referred to in this report directly contribute to these main priorities and in addition, this work of the Local Committee will contribute to the 4 aspirations for Cumbria:

For the economy: We want Cumbria to be a place with a thriving economy where we challenge poverty in all its forms

For the environment: We want Cumbria to be a place where you can live in a high quality and sustainable environment and you can move easily and safely around the county

For children and young people: We want Cumbria to be a great place to be a child and grow up in; a place of opportunity where young people are able to live happy and productive lives; a place where young people will want to live and work in the future

For independent, safe and healthy lives: We want you to enjoy an independent and healthy life and to be safe from harm, with more control over your life and a say in the decisions which affect you

Page 241 2.3 Under the Constitution each Local Committee has an Executive function to formulate an Area Plan which helps to shape services and places within the Area. At the 30 July 2012 meeting the Local Committee approved the Area Plan for Carlisle. The Area Plan is part of the strategy framework of the County Council and links to the Performance Management Framework (PMF) across the Council.

2.4 Within the overall framework, Cabinet endorsed the use of 3 types of performance scorecards across the Council, namely; Corporate, Directorate and Local Committee Area Scorecards. The purpose of all 3 performance scorecards is to systematically embed performance measurement, reporting, monitoring and management across the Council, leading to continuous performance improvement.

2.5 There are no equality issues linked to this paper.

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 That a small task and finish group is established to work with officers to consider the format and presentation of the Area Scorecard for Carlisle.

3.2 That arrangements for the autumn workshop be confirmed.

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 The Council’s constitution provides an Executive Function to each Local Committee to develop Area Plans. The plan for each area sets out the Council’s priorities, provides a comprehensive socio-economic picture of the area, records achievements in the last year and planned service delivery across all of the Council’s responsibilities.

4.2 Area plans are an important feature of Area Planning – which is the broader process of Local Committees working together with communities and local service leads to consider

§ the needs of the area § local performance and feedback § understand the strategic direction of travel § how services need to be developed and delivered locally

4.3 Each Area Plan will sit alongside the Council Plan, Service Plans and other key strategies – providing an overview on an area by area basis of how the council is delivering on its priorities in a way which reflects the specific needs and opportunities within an area. Local priorities will be defined by Local Committees which are informed by local communities and local evidence. The plans have been developed using a set of common principles, which support the integration of Area Plans into the strategic planning process.

4.4 The 6 Area Plans will be used to support:

§ the reconfiguration of services within geographical localities

Page 242 § the development of future council priorities and aspirations § decision making about strategic asset management and the capital programme § decision making of Local Committees § the development of Service Plans

4.5 The Council’s PMF sets out arrangements for each Local Area Committee to receive a performance report on a quarterly frequency that sets out progress toward delivery of the functions devolved to the Committee. Additionally, the PMF sets out arrangements for each Local Area Committee to receive an Area Performance Scorecard that sets out key performance information for the Local Committee area. Local Committees would then be expected to review the performance of the area, and highlight any concerns and opportunities for improvement.

4.6 During the process of developing Local Area Plans and priorities, reference has been made to local ‘quality of life’ indicators for Carlisle, covering performance in Carlisle and how Carlisle compares with other Local Committee Areas in Cumbria across areas such as:

Local employment, business survival and growth Access to services Deprivation, household and child poverty Housing Transport Crime and crime prevention Health inequality and life expectancy

4.7 Consequently Local Committee Area Scorecards have been intentionally built on Quality of life indicators. The Local Committee for Carlisle has considered the data for the area and has agreed the following area priorities to target its resources:

Economic Growth

attracting investment in jobs by developing the local infrastructure and supporting Small Medium Enterprises, as well as maximising the benefits of the CNDR

keeping existing jobs in the area and encouraging private sector investment that supports communities e.g. in commercial service bus provision.

looking at the opportunities to open up development land for jobs and necessary housing and considering the potential for a southern link to the M6 and the West Cumbrian coast.

Accessibility

ensuring we have service provision in the rural area for example youth activities through the 0-19 funding, library access for older people

Page 243 developing our integrated transport systems and particularly the cycle routes to deliver a network across Carlisle while developing links to the new CNDR cycle and walking route provision

Strong communities

using the councils own facilities to access and support community groups (New Community Fire Stations; support from our Community Grants and our engagement with communities)

continuing educational campaigns and joint working with the Credit Union and our services (Trading Standards) to deal with loan sharks and promote better money management

Health and Well-Being

supporting an ageing population

helping support the fitness of people in the area, particularly young people and the issues of child obesity and teenage pregnancy as well as reducing smoking and alcohol misuse

tackling deprivation

Working with partners to ensure the delivery of sufficient levels of specialist housing to meet the needs of all within the community.

4.8 These priorities are also aligned to the following 4 aspirations in our Council Plan

We want to be a place with a thriving economy where we challenge poverty in all its forms.

We want Cumbria to be a place where you can live in a high quality and sustainable environment and you can easily and safely travel around the County.

We want Cumbria to be a great place to be a child and grow up in; a place of opportunity where young people are able to live happy and productive lives; a place where young people will want to live and work in the future.

We want you to enjoy an independent and healthy life and to be safe from harm, with more control over your life and a say in the decisions which affect you.

4.9 These priorities and targets have been summarised in the appended Summary of the Area Plan (Appendix A). With approval of the Area Plan the focus now is on embedding the monitoring and looking at the priorities for delivery. This will be a cyclical approach is represented in Appendix B.

4.10 To prepare for the Autumn seminar/workshop the Area Scorecard needs to be developed. It is suggested that a small group of Members work with officers to develop the Area Scorecard so that this can be reported to the

Page 244 October Local Committee. The seminar could then be planned for early November where specific service areas could be reviewed. Possible dates for the seminar are:

Tuesday 6 November 2012 Wednesday 14 November 2012 Monday 19 November 2012

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 To support the development of the Area Scorecard through a small working group of Members or to develop the Area Scorecard via alternative methods (committee reports or via a workshop).

5.2 To determine the date for the autumn workshop.

6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1 The Area Plan for Carlisle highlights the key major strategic initiatives proposed and where relevant informs on the financial considerations for individual items.

6.2 Whilst the Area Plan highlights the financial considerations, these are the subject of ongoing development and review as part of the Council’s budget planning process. The items specifically mentioned in the Area Plan have been checked against the 2012-13 medium term financial plan to ensure consistency at this point in time, but Members should be aware that this may require review and amendment as the budget planning process rolls forward.

7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1 There are no legal implications at this time.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 This report presents the Area Plan summary, the Area Planning cycle and seeks approval for a small group of members to work with officers to develop the Area Scorecard for Carlisle.
