Gipton and South Seacroft INM Cluster – Case Studies APPENDIX B Gipton and South Seacroft INM Cluster – Case Studies GIPTON ACCESS POINT (GAP CENTRE) During 2006/07 the former South Gipton Housing Office on Coldcotes Drive was refurbished and opened as a community venue and “gateway” offering information, advice and guidance on employment and training opportunities. The venue is known as the Gipton Access Point (GAP). The project has been developed through the East Leeds Economy Partnership, Worklessness sub group. Development of the venue has continued in 2007/08 with the support of SSCF, and the Building Family Wealth Project. BFW, amongst other partners, refer clients to GAP, and the venue is open as a drop in facility for all members of the community to access. Numerous activities are delivered from GAP including Job shops and ICT courses. The job shops deal with unemployed clients only who need assistance with job search, CV's, application forms and job related subjects such as interview skills. Some of these activities are by appointment only. GAP also offers Intervention, advice and guidance sessions for unemployed people who need direction with future careers. GAP deliver in partnership with Learning Zone and Thomas Danby short course and taster programmes based around basic IT and administration skills. As part of the Jobs and Skills programmes, GAP refers customers onto short focus training and work placements with partners such as the NHS Employability programme and any other programmes such as the recent recruitment drive for the Contact Leeds call centre programme. Since opening in July 2007 over 750 people have accessed the centre. Dog Warden Service Following a successful pilot during the latter part of 2006/07, and resident concern around dog issues highlighted through the annual household surveys, SSCF has funded the dog warden service to work intensively in the areas of Gipton & South Seacroft for two full days per week. Normal core service is provided alongside this intensive work. The dog warden works pro-actively and re-actively tackling issues relating to stray and roaming dogs, dangerous dogs, and dog fouling. By working one full day in Gipton and one full day in Seacroft the warden is able to form productive relationships with partners in the area, and with local residents. The warden has built up a portfolio of intelligence enabling her to target areas of greatest need and react swiftly when problems occur. The warden holds regular micro- chipping ‘events’, where local residents can have their dogs permanently identified using a microchip, for free. This would normally cost around £25 to have done at the vets. The events also provide opportunity for residents to seek advise regarding dog related issues. This financial year the warden has microchipped 83 dogs in the INM area, and given out over 80 neutering vouchers which enable dog owners to have their dogs neutered for free. 94 stray dogs have been removed from the streets, and over 300 dog owners have received face to face advice on responsible dog ownership. Enforcement activities have included the issuing of 12 fixed penalty notices for dog fouling, with three cases being brought to court, and the dog owners have received fines averaging £400 each. Community Payback Scheme Following a successful pilot during 2006/07, a partnership has continued between ELAM and West Yorkshire Probation service. The Probation service provides a ‘community payback’ team, a dedicated workforce of probationers to fill the gaps in existing community services, and to provide additional and swift resource in response to community and environmental priorities. The team are tasked through partners including West Yorkshire Police, the ALMO, West Yorkshire Fire Service, Community groups and voluntary organisations, and carry out projects including community clean ups, litter picking, hedge and grass cutting, and painting. From April to September the service provided over 1,820 man hours of work on Community Projects. As a value for money comparison (calculated using the minimum wage of £5.50 per hour) these hours would cost over £10,000k. .

West Yorkshire Police work with support agencies to ensure that all victims of crime are offered support through the criminal justice process, including specialist support such as from Independent Sexual Violence Advisors.

  • Gipton and Stanks Business Case
    Appendix 7 Gipton and Stanks Fire Station Business Case At a Glance - the Key Points for this Proposal Proposal: The construction of a new fire station to replace Gipton and Stanks fire stations and removal of 24 fulltime posts from the establishment by way of planned retirements. Key Points: Gipton is classed as a very high risk area and Stanks as medium risk area. Stanks fire station is poorly located at the outer edge of the local community and access/egress from the site is problematic. In the 5 year period between 2004/5 and 2009/10 operational demand in these areas reduced by 28% (there has been a reduction of 61% of serious fires) . 2 WYFRS has piloted a new type of vehicle (Fire Response Unit) to deal with smaller fires and incidents to free up fire appliances to respond to more serious emergencies. The pilot has been successful and it is believed that a District based Fire Response Unit will handle in the region of 3,000 calls per year. The new fire station would have lower running costs. The two Killingbeck fire appliances would be supplemented by a Resilience Pump for use during spate conditions. Targeted community safety and risk reduction work would continue. 2 1. Foreword 1.1 This proposal forms one of a number of similar initiatives developed by West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (WYFRS) as part of its plans for the future provision of a highly effective and professional Fire and Rescue Service. 1.2 Each proposal is based on sound and comprehensive research, using real data from past performance and predictions of future demand and risk.

  • BARWICK in ELMET & SCHOLES PARISH COUNCIL Response To
    BARWICK in ELMET & SCHOLES PARISH COUNCIL Response to Leeds City Council’s position statement of 8th September 2017 Clerk to the Parish Council : Mr. K Langley 33 Flats Lane, Barwick in Elmet, Leeds LS15 4LJ phone 0113 393 5861 : email – [email protected] Below are the comments of Barwick In Elmet and Scholes Parish Council (“BIESPC”) on the answers provided by Leeds City Council (“LCC”) – LCC’s position statement on the SAP Examination and Selective Core Strategy Review, dated 8th September 2017 This document follows the structure of LCC’s position statement, and comments under the headings in the statement. LCC’s replies are in black ink. BIESPC’s comments are in blue ink Question a What is the effect of the selective review of the CS on the soundness of the SAP? a.1 The effect of the Core Strategy Review (CSR) on the soundness of the SAP is considered to be minor and broadly contextual, not least because the scope of both Development Plan Documents (DPD) is substantially different; 1. LCC’s reply to this question seems merely rhetorical and lacking in detail and substantiating evidence. This answer is inconsistent with LCC’s adopted Core Strategy. Core Strategy 1.4 states “The CS is the main document setting out the overall vision and strategic level policies… All other LDF documents will be guided by its policies including the Site Allocations Plan …”. Therefore the scope of the documents cannot be ‘substantially different’ and LCC is ignoring its own policies to suit its own ends; 2. To help overcome this weakness in LCC’s response, we would request that the Inspector also asks the following question: “What is the effect of the selective review of the CS, in comparison with the effect of a comprehensive review, on the soundness of the SAP?”; 3.

  • Tackling the Holiday Hunger, Holiday Inactivity and Holiday Isolation Faced by Some of the Poorest Children in Leeds, and Often Their Families, Too
    About Healthy Holidays Healthy Holidays is now in its third year – tackling the holiday hunger, holiday inactivity and holiday isolation faced by some of the poorest children in Leeds, and often their families, too. Leeds Community Foundation delivers this programme with support from Leeds City Council, and from local food partners FareShare Yorkshire and Rethink Food. In 2019, Leeds Healthy Holidays reached 5,441 young people and 903 parents/carers through 77 community-based partners delivering a range of fun and engaging activities, all of which included at least one nutritious meal. Healthy Holidays 2020 – Covid Response In the face of Covid-19 crisis, Leeds Community Foundation (LCF) and Leeds City Council have been actively working with food provision charities and local community organisations on an Emergency Food Provision Process to deliver much-needed food and support to these vulnerable children, their families and other vulnerable adults. As an immediate response to lockdown, LCF funded 31 community organisations to provide “Healthy Holidays Covid-19 Response” projects; these have generally provided food parcels alongside a combination of online activities and activity boxes delivered to the doorstep. Activities vary with each project, and includes sport, physical activity, creative arts, cookery, indoor/outdoor gardening and mental wellbeing support. Some groups are also using group chat, video-conferencing and livestreaming to engage and support their children and families. Projects have been encouraged to post activity on social media using the hashtag #HHLeedsCovid19. LCF secured additional funding from Direct Line & National Emergency Fund (NET), and successfully secured funding from Department for Education for provision during the summer holidays.

  • Leeds' Newcomers in 2019
    Leeds’ newcomers in 2019 A short statistics overview for people who plan or deliver services, and are planning for migrants who are the newest arrivals to Leeds. Photo credits: Steve Morgan [photographer] and Yorkshire Futures [source]. 1. Introduction Who is this briefing paper for? This document is aimed at people who plan or deliver local services in Leeds. You might find you are often the first people who meet and respond to newcomers in the local area. You will know that people who have just arrived in an area often need more information and support than those who have had time to adjust and learn about life in the UK. These newcomers might benefit from information about key services for example, in their first language. This briefing paper provides an overview of the numbers and geographical patterns of new migrants who recently have come to live in Leeds and were issued with a national insurance number [NINO] in 2019. We hope you will find the information presented here useful for planning services and engagement with new communities, making funding applications, or for background research for you or your colleagues to better understand migration in your area. Where has the data come from? This briefing paper was produced by Migration Yorkshire in September 2020. This document uses information from the Department for Work and Pensions [DWP] about non-British nationals who successfully applied for a NINO in 2019. We have used this as a proxy for newcomers, because new arrivals usually need to apply for a NINO in order to work or claim benefits.
