The council areas of Great Yarmouth and Waveney form a distinctive sub- region which requires the focus of unitary status to address the needs and expectations of the local community. Both areas have suffered from declining industry, lack of investment and some of the highest levels of deprivation in England. These have been compounded by the geographical isolation and lack of infrastructure which has made it difficult to improve both employment prospects and a range of public service outcomes. The response to these needs and expectations has been reflected in the following actions and initiatives: The East of England Development Agency (EEDA) and the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) established a single Urban Regeneration Company (URC) to operate across the two urban areas of Yarmouth and Lowestoft; GO-East requires a single housing strategy for the two local authority areas Since 2007 Home Select has operated as a single system across the council areas The East of England Regional Assembly (EERA) has identified Great Yarmouth and Waveney as a single sub-region for spatial planning purposes. The East of England Plan has a vision “to promote the comprehensive regeneration of the sub-region (Great Yarmouth and Waveney) by building on its unique qualities”; A strong track record of working with Local Strategic Partnerships (LSPs) (the history and strength of one of the first accredited LSPs in Eastern Region) and regeneration partnerships across Great Yarmouth and Waveney. A Great Yarmouth Campus for University College Suffolk. The creation of a single Primary Care Trust (PCT) for Great Yarmouth and Waveney in 2006. A Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny arrangement is already in place which is coterminous with the Great Yarmouth and Waveney PCT boundaries The development of EastPort to provide the sub-region with a European gateway to assist the regeneration agenda. Through a Unitary Council it will be possible to address the democratic deficit by effective and strategic leadership to empower the local community at all levels. This will build on the very successful Community Empowerment Networks developed in Great Yarmouth with the use of the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund over the past 8 years and the Area Forums with their devolved budgets in 3 Waveney. A Unitary Council will allow clearer links to be made between Councillors and their various neighbourhood communities, replacing the current confusion over boundaries and responsibilities. This development of District Forums and Town Councils will add to community involvement ensuring that engagement with the local community is central to the way in which the new council designs, builds and delivers its services to the people of Great Yarmouth and Waveney. This will deliver local government by the people and for the people of Great Yarmouth and Waveney. It is the intention that through strategic management the council will ensure not only value for money but also equity of service delivery. This will allow the new Council to work closely with all statutory partners to create accessible, seamless, high quality and evidence-based services to all its residents. A new Unitary Council will be able to build on a well established local pattern of partnership working. 4 5 Local Decisions for Local People “Great Yarmouth, along with Lowestoft, is the most severely deprived urban area in the Eastern Region with very significant growth and deprivation issues along with a very distinct economic structure.” – Extract from the Norfolk County Strategic Partnership response to the Regional Economic Strategy Consultation. Residents of Great Yarmouth and Waveney feel they have a great deal in common. Both areas offer a preponderance of seasonal work – largely based around the tourist industry, which is both unreliable and poorly paid, or poorly- paid work in the food industry. Each has suffered from the decline of the fishing industry. People often commute between the two and “the border” between the two authorities is notional and academic. Both towns access a single district hospital in Gorleston. We want to develop the better paid employment clusters in electronics and energy that Great Yarmouth and Waveney share and build on our jointly-held role as the southern base for oil and gas industries in the North Sea. In both areas there are high levels of deprivation and an overwhelming sense of being “at the end of the line”. Transport links between Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft are confined to rail branch lines from Norwich and Ipswich and to single-carriageway roads. Ironically the one good road link in the Districts is the link between Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft – which at least serves to unify the communities and develop the sense of interchange between them. Both areas feel let down by the existing arrangements. Educational attainment in both Districts is sadly stalled at below the national average – a sad indictment of the existing County structures given the resources that have been channelled into education. The situation is not improved by the lack of representation at County level – it is 6 years since anyone representing a Great Yarmouth Electoral Division (or indeed any urban area) was a member of the Executive in Norfolk giving rise to a feeling that no-one with influence in local government is concerned about really coming to terms with the problems we face. Whilst the cynicism is not quite as marked in the Waveney area the same trend is clear to see – it is over 2 years since a member representing a Waveney Electoral Division was a member of the Executive in Suffolk. Recent proposed changes to the school structure highlighted how parents felt that decision-makers were remote and unaccountable. We propose a change to this with the creation of a Unitary Council to be coterminous with the boundaries of the Great Yarmouth and Waveney PCT. This will enable the area to develop a unified strategy to deal with problems and take advantage of the opportunities offered. There are significant major developments that do offer a bright future for the twin towns – the ongoing development of the Marina and the extensive brownfield Riverside area in Lowestoft offer scope for significant progress, whilst the development of the EastPort Outer Harbour in Great Yarmouth offers significant opportunities to 6 redefine local prospects – providing the area has effective single-minded political leadership. The link between poor housing, poor educational achievement, poor income and poor health standards has been proven over many years. We need a local Council with the understanding and determination to break that vicious cycle in Great Yarmouth and Waveney. Bringing social care, housing and education together under one Authority will allow more efficient resolution of problems for families. 7 Our Proposal Our proposal is to replace the existing Great Yarmouth and Waveney District Councils to form 1 unitary Authority – Great Yarmouth and Waveney Unitary Council with a population of about 220,000 people including a large number of migrant workers. We are acutely aware that “Great Yarmouth and Waveney” is far from an ideal name. Such is the enthusiasm in our local communities for this Council that there is currently a competition being organised by local business people who – entirely independently from us – think that the Unitary Council is such a good idea that they are offering a significant cash reward for the person who comes up with the best name. In our view that person should also have the honour of naming the new Council but, until that competition is resolved, our working title is “Great Yarmouth and Waveney”. Our priority is to improve services and build local interest. We are acutely aware that the level of services provided in the area at the moment is not adequate. Against that backcloth we are not prepared to suggest savings on running costs in services –, we propose that any savings made would be ploughed back to improve the level of service provided. 8 Streamlined and Strengthened A total of 109 Councillors are currently elected by residents in Great Yarmouth and Waveney to District and County Councils in a constant stream of annual elections. We would envisage replacing this with a Council consisting of 44 Members (i.e. a reduction of 60%). We propose electing the Council, in its entirety, every 4 years. Apparently simple words, yet they hide a morass of issues. The reality is that currently Waveney Council is a failing Council, Great Yarmouth Council is a weak Council, standards are falling at Norfolk County Council and Suffolk County Council does not pay as much attention to Waveney as we would wish and is making significant service cuts in the area.

  • ELECTORAL DIVISION PROFILE 2017 This Division Comprises Bungay and Wainford Wards in Their Entirety Plus Part of the Saints Ward
    UNGAY ELECTORAL DIVISION PROFILE 2017 This Division comprises Bungay and Wainford wards in their entirety plus part of The Saints ward www.suffolkobservatory.info 2 © Crown copyright and database rights 2017 Ordnance Survey 100023395 CONTENTS . Demographic Profile: Age & Ethnicity . Economy and Labour Market . Schools & NEET . Index of Multiple Deprivation . Health . Crime & Community Safety . Additional Information . Data Sources 3 ELECTORAL DIVISION PROFILES: AN INTRODUCTION These profiles have been produced to support elected members, constituents and other interested parties in understanding the demographic, economic, social and educational profile of their neighbourhoods. We have used the latest data available at the time of publication. Much more data is available from national and local sources than is captured here, but it is hoped that the profile will be a useful starting point for discussion, where local knowledge and experience can be used to flesh out and illuminate the information presented here. The profile can be used to help look at some fundamental questions e.g. Does the age profile of the population match or differ from the national profile? . Is there evidence of the ageing profile of the county in all the wards in the Division or just some? . How diverse is the community in terms of ethnicity? . What is the impact of deprivation on families and residents? . Does there seem to be a link between deprivation and school performance? . What is the breakdown of employment sectors in the area? . Is it a relatively healthy area compared to the rest of the district or county? . What sort of crime is prevalent in the community? A vast amount of additional data is available on the Suffolk Observatory www.suffolkobservatory.info The Suffolk Observatory is a free online resource that contains all Suffolk’s vital statistics; it is the one‐stop‐shop for information and intelligence about Suffolk.

Chairman’s Report Chairman’s Report 2016 I would like to start by thanking Parish Councillors and Parishioners for their support over the last year. We are very fortunate to live in a rural village like Lound, and I know a lot of you work hard to make Lound the pleasant village it is. Early next month the official 20mph speed limit signs will be installed in Back Lane. A former Parish Councilor, Derek Bessey, championed this project and lobbied hard for it to be included in Suffolk Highways’ plans. I am very sorry that he is not here to see the project come to fruition. Waveney’s new Local Plan. As you know, Waveney District Council is preparing a new Local Plan. This will replace the existing Local Development Framework, and will set planning policies which will be used to determine future planning applications.

  • East Suffolk Council
    SUFFOLK COASTAL AND WAVENEY DISTRICT COUNCILS Joint Response to LGBCE Consultation on Proposed New Electoral Arrangement for: EAST SUFFOLK COUNCIL Overview Overall, Suffolk Coastal and Waveney District Councils (the east Suffolk councils) welcome and support the recommendations made by the Local Government Boundary Commission for the district ward arrangements for East Suffolk Council. We note that the vast majority of the recommendations are in line with our proposals, as laid out in our response of Friday, 4 May 2018 which can be viewed at: http://apps.eastsuffolk.gov.uk/committeeminutes/readdocument.asp?docid=22852 , together with the supporting evidence. We see the recommendations from the Boundary Commission as being positive and in line with local requirements to effectively govern the new East Suffolk Council. For the sake of brevity, this response should be seen as broad agreement on all of the recommendations – apart for the exceptions that we have highlighted below (with our detailed response/suggestions for each): Ward no. 1 - Beccles & Worlingham The Boundary Commission proposed to create a three-councillor Beccles and Worlingham Ward. Although the east Suffolk councils recognise that this addresses the slight variance issue caused by keeping Beccles as a two-councillor self-contained ward (comprising of the Beccles parish only), we remain strongly committed to our original proposals of having two separate wards in this area. There is strong feeling in the area that Worlingham should not be ‘subsumed’ into Beccles, demonstrated by a campaign launched last year (see https://www.facebook.com/Death-of-our-village-109847156378796/) on the reaction to the first draft of the Waveney Local Plan.

These judicial review proceedings challenge the decision of the Waveney District Council (“the Council”) to approve the details under certain of the conditions imposed on a planning permission for a wind turbine. In outline, the claimant’s case is that the Council wrongly discharged the conditions relating to aviation safety and archaeological work since they had been breached; that as a consequence of their breach the planning permission has expired; and that the Council also failed to comply with the publicity and consultation requirements relating to environmental matters. He applies for an order quashing the decision that the planning permission was capable of implementation; a declaration that the planning permission has expired; and an order quashing the approval of details under the conditions.
