  • Review Into the Best Value Delivery of the Environmental Health out of Hours Service for Sevenoaks District Council [And Dartford Borough Council]
    REVIEW INTO THE BEST VALUE DELIVERY OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OUT OF HOURS SERVICE FOR SEVENOAKS DISTRICT COUNCIL [AND DARTFORD BOROUGH COUNCIL] Cabinet - 19 April 2018 Report of the: Chief Officer Environmental & Operational Services Status: For recommendation to Cabinet Also considered by: Direct and Trading Advisory Committee - 13 March 2018 Key Decision: Yes Executive Summary: The shared service Environmental Health team currently provides an Out of Hours (OOH) Service to deal with complaints from residents within the Sevenoaks and Dartford districts. This service currently operates everyday throughout the year between 17:00 and 22:00 Monday to Thursday, 17:00 to 00:00 Friday, 08:00 to 00:00 Saturday and 08:00 to 22:00 Sunday. Demand for the service is shown to vary significantly throughout the year and by day of the week. Many of the calls received are not urgent and do not require immediate action. These can be managed the next working day during office hours in accordance with agreed performance indicators. In the past 18 months, experienced officers have left the OOH Service, and there is now a serious issue with fully staffing the Service in its existing format. This report recommends that the OOH service targets Environmental Health Officer resource at times of peak demand whilst simultaneously empowering the CCTV team to respond, record and provide advice to the majority of ‘one off’ complaints received by the service. The existing OOH provision for serious or emergency public health complaints will be extended via a year round cascade call system. This report supports the Key Aim of Safe Communities and Green Environment Portfolio Holder Cllr.

  • Streets for All South East
    Streets for All South East Consultation draft copy Summary In 2017 Historic England published an updated national edition of Streets for All, a practical guide for anyone involved in planning and implementing highways and other public realm works in sensitive historic locations. It shows how improvements can be made to public spaces without harming their valued character, including specific recommendations for works to surfaces, street furniture, new equipment, traffic management infrastructure and environmental improvements. This supplementary document summarises the key messages of Streets for All in the context of the South East. It begins by explaining how historic character adds value to the region’s contemporary public realm before summarising some of the priorities and opportunities for further improvements to the South East’s streetscape. This guidance has been prepared by Martin Small, Historic Places Advisor in the South East, and Rowan Whimster. First published by English Heritage 20Ǔǘ.

After years of unsatisfactory patched repairs, Surrey County Council recently took the bold decision to relay the 115,000 original setts using modern grouting products that reduce the trip hazards and maintain a consistent contour across the road, thus making it much easier for pedestrians to walk on. © Eilís Byrne The public realm From Kent to Oxfordshire, the South East of on the safety of children and on accessibility for England contains a wealth of historic cities, towns everyone.

  • THE COASTAL COMMUNITIES of SOUTH EAST ENGLAND Recommendations to the South East
    THE COASTAL COMMUNITIES OF SOUTH EAST ENGLAND Recommendations to the South East LEP Prof Steve Fothergill Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research Sheffield Hallam University Final report December 2012 1 Summary This report considers the policy implications arising from a statistical review of the South East’s coastal communities, completed in April 2012. It also builds on discussions involving coastal local authorities, private sector representatives and other local partners. The statistical review identified the South East’s coastal communities, which have a combined population of one million or around a quarter of the LEP total, as on average an area of social and economic disadvantage, well adrift of LEP averages and sometimes behind national averages as well. The review also flagged up important differences between places along the coast and put forward a six-fold classification of areas that has won wide support. The present report makes ten recommendations: 1. The South East LEP needs to be ‘spatially aware’. The big internal differences within the LEP area, and in particular the distinctive needs of the coastal strip, need to inform the full range of LEP activities. 2. Strategic plans and priorities should give special attention to the coastal strip. This includes in the allocation of resources. 3. Transport links to parts of the coast need improvement. Accessibility remains an important constraint in a number of local areas. 4. The seaside tourist industry should be treated as one of the drivers of economic growth. Tourism along the coast continues to employ as many people as manufacturing, and there are opportunities for growth.

Although most homeless persons reside in developing countries, a surprisingly large number live in industrialized nations.2 While the United States government has not adopted a comprehensive policy to deal with its homeless population, the British government has attempted to address this problem at a national level. This section of the symposium examines Britain's efforts to resolve the problem of homelessness through the Housing (Homeless Persons) Act of 1977.' I. OVERVIEW OF THE ACT In an effort to curb increasing homelessness,4 overcrowding, and sub-standard housing throughout Great Britain,5 Parliament enacted the Housing (Homeless Persons) Act of 1977.

Ramsgate’s Historic Environment 5. Background to Planning for Ramsgate 6. The Panel’s visit 7. Analysis 8. Recommendations 9. Epilogue Urban Panel Report: Ramsgate 28-29 September 2016 Page 1 1. Executive Summary The Urban Panel visited Ramsgate on 28-9 September 2016 at the request of the District Council and was supported in its examination of both Ramsgate and the recent successes of regeneration in Margate by the Council’s staff. Ramsgate’s heritage provides a tangible and valuable resource for regeneration of the town – a town which, in spite of areas of wealth and success, also has a concentration of wards that fall within the top 10% of indices of deprivation. The Panel was invited to consider a number of related issues centring on the Harbour and its uses but also the neighbouring port and the adjoining parts of the town centre. The Panel was able to meet representatives of several community organisations over dinner, providing an opportunity to discuss the issues and opportunities facing the town in an informal atmosphere. In addition to a bus tour of the east and west cliff areas, the Panel undertook walking tours of the Royal Harbour and Harbour Street and environs to assess the current performance of the town centre and recent planning issues. The compact town centre and harbour, the Panel felt, provide an initial focus for visitors to explore which can act as a springboard to the heritage assets of the east and west cliffs.
