Adult Social Care Portfolio Date: October 2019 Version 1.0 Approved by DM 1 ECONOMY AND REGENERATION PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW Portfolio Summary Since launching my portfolio agreement back in July, we have made good progress in several areas and seen major development in potentially achieving better public transport. The Mayoral Development Corporation (MDC) is now a reality and the prospect of 3,500 new homes, many of which will be affordable, is now on the horizon. Working with Homes England and with cabinet agreeing to a £100m loan facility to ‘kick-start’ development, this represents a significant period in the regeneration of our town centre and realising the true potential our borough has. Indeed, with the Mailbox – aka the old Sorting Office – nearing completion, the first project within the MDC boundary is almost upon us, providing 119 new homes. Our work within the Market Place is bearing fruit: footfall is up 6.3% compared to the previous year, above the forecast of 5%. Of course, the success of the Produce Hall is central to the Market Place’s resurgence and I make no apology for being a vocal supporter of it. Of course, there is still much to do; I am still mindful that people want to see a more comprehensive outdoor offering. I do, too, but this must be sustainable for the long-term: we only need to look at what recently happened in Rochdale to understand that markets are a very delicate area within retail. Occupancy within Stockport Town Centre is on course to meet our 75% target and we are hopeful we will meet our target of 300 independent businesses within the Town Centre this year. Indeed, proposals we’re set to bring to E&R scrutiny in December will, I hope, support us in meeting this target while also supporting the regeneration of our district centres. Regenerating our district centres is something I am incredibly passionate about: if we think about ‘the Stockport pound’ and how money spent locally circulates and multiplies, thereby benefiting more residents, district centres are at the heart of delivering that. This also links into Community Wealth Building, which I touch on below. Continuing with the Town Centre, our plans for Adlington Walk are ongoing and Stockport Exchange 2 is progressing well. Meanwhile, the old White Lion pub redevelopment is nearing completion and will bring 11 new homes right in the heart of Underbanks. Other developments within the Town Centre are also under discussion and I hope to bring you news about these soon. My aim for Stockport to lead on walking and cycling within Greater Manchester has been recognised by Greater Manchester’s Walking and Cycling Commissioner, Chris Boardman, who is delighted by the progress we’re making. We’ve recently gone to consultation on eight projects and the hope is these will have ‘buy-in’ from local communities and have a true, bottom-up approach. 2 Walking and cycling proposals shouldn’t only aim to reduce car journeys, thereby supporting healthier lives and addressing poor air quality, but make our communities nicer places to live and support wider road safety. I am grateful for the enthusiasm and ideas WalkRide groups across Stockport have and look forward to seeing further proposals from them in the coming months. Linking into walking and cycling is improving public transport and the proposal for bus franchising is essential to reducing congestion, improving air quality and delivering integrated public transport after years of theory, speculation and discussion. I am a vocal advocate for bus reform and feel we have an enormous opportunity to deliver a bus network that Stockport and Greater Manchester can be proud of. I believe we can gain the routes we need that will benefit people and communities, such as improving links to existing rail and Metrolink stations, while having a network that is truly accountable, more affordable and offers far better value for money. Indeed, the franchising model is forecast to deliver around £345m in economic benefits across Greater Manchester and I believe if we don’t take this opportunity now, we will regret it for many years to come from an economic, social and environmental perspective. The council’s statutory response will, from the outset, push for any benefits of bus franchising to reach the borough as soon as possible. I also hope the government will provide the funding necessary to avoid a rise in the mayoral precept relating to bus franchising. Nevertheless, members who are pro-franchising must support the consultation and get their communities involved – and I am happy to help in this regard. Finally, on Community Wealth Building, the council now has its own Steering Group and has commissioned the Centre for Local Economic Studies (CLES) to look at how the council can help develop a more socially just and progressive local economy. CLES work closely with local authorities across the country, including Manchester, Oldham and most notably Preston, to support the delivery of local economies that people feel work for them: this is where our work on district centres comes in and supporting the development of small businesses. The theme of Community Wealth Building is something I will be regularly returning to over the coming weeks and months.

DELIVERING OUR PRIORITIES This report is based on the 2019/20 Portfolio Agreement, approved by Cabinet on 23 July 2019. The link to the Agreement is here. A full update of performance data is in Appendix 1 to the report. Priority 1: Inclusive growth We will focus on support and regeneration of the local economy, including significant investment in the town centre. There will be a greater focus on securing the economic, environmental and social benefits of growth for local people, supporting the creation of good jobs for people to increase individual and community independence and taking steps to address the rising cost of living. Progress on delivery projects, with highlights and exceptions Local Employment & Skills Plans Agreements Good progress continues to be made on the Stockport Exchange Phase 3 Employment & Skills Plan, including very positive engagement between the contractor (GMI) and Stockport schools for project work, and Stockport College for student site experience and work placements. Other developments this quarter include the agreement of an Employment & Skills Plan for Adlington Walk (which begin soon), completion of the plan with the RG Group for the LSH Mercedes development and continuation of the Employment & Skills Plan for Elisabeth Mill. GM Good Employment Charter The GM Good Employment Charter has been actively promoted through the Business Bulletin, social media, Stockport Economic Alliance and the Stockport Work & Skills Board. The Cabinet Member for Inclusive Neighbourhoods also promoted the benefits to employers at the Jobs Fair. To date seven Stockport employers have signed up as Supporters (including the Council). A further big push will therefore be made through business engagement routes to encourage more employers to support the Charter by promoting its benefits. European Social Fund (ESF) Skills Support Programmes The ESF Skills Support Programmes (Skills Support for Employment, Skills Support for the Workforce and the NEET Support Programme) have all now gone live, and have been promoted via the Working Well Local Integration Board to ensure they are integrated with the Working Well Programmes. Skills Support for the Workforce has also been promoted via the Stockport Business Bulletin, and via Skills Need Analysis support provided by the GM SEDA (Supporting Employer Demand for Apprenticeships) Advisers for local businesses accessing Apprenticeship Grants. The ESF Skills Support for the Workforce Programme delivered by the Growth Company is also a key support in the Thomas Cook Task Force set up to support affected employees. Stockport Work & Skills Board The Board met during Quarter 2 and continues make progress on its Action Plan priorities. The Board has also received briefings on progress regarding the GM Good Employment Charter. Current work commissioned to review the Work & Skills offer in Stockport will support the work of the Board going forward in terms of responding to gaps, and avoiding duplication where possible. 4 Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) Apprenticeships Grant Since the Grant Offer went live at the start of 2019-20, 16 employers have accepted a grant. The earliest offered grants are now reaching payment stage. A similar number of employers have received information / application forms and are considering applications. Forty grants are available, all to be offered by 31st March 2020. Regular marketing has taken place through the Stockport Business Bulletin, social media promotion and awareness raising at Business Network Groups. Support for new business start ups People Plus delivers support for new business start-ups on behalf of the GM Business Growth company using local authority funding and the European Regional Development Fund. Between April 2019 to end September 2019, 42 potential entrepreneurs have received support from the service, leading to 11 new business starts to date. One-to-one advisory sessions are delivered fortnightly from Stockport Central Library, as are themed workshops (e.g. on marketing skills). Business/education liaison and support Gander supported 268 students during the 2018/19 academic year. Funding for the Gander initiative is secure for another academic year and a new Gander coordinator is now in place. The memorandum of understanding has been revised and issued to all partners.

  • Country Iioijs1 of Greater Mancheste
    COUNTRY IIOIJS1 OF GREATER MANCHESTE * P .•» I COUNTRY HOUSES OF GREATER MANCHESTER EDITORS :J.S.F. WALKER & A.S.TINDALL (;itiL\n<it MANCHESTER ARCHAEOLOGICAL UNIT 1985 osi CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT The country house is part of the diverse and rich heritage of Greater Manchester. This volume follows the development of the country house from the Middle Ages to the present day, using a combination of .archaeological excavation, documentary research and survey to present a coherent study of a building type which reflects the social and economic development of the community in a singularly direct way. By their survival they .demonstrate the entrepreneurial skills of the owner and the abilities of those artisans who built and maintained them. The form and function of the country house change over the centuries, and the fabric of individual buildings mirrors these changes and encapsulates much of the history of the time. Many of our country houses are in good hands, well maintained and with a secure future. Many others described in this volume are already lost, and even the land upon which they stood has been so disturbed as to allow no further site investigation. Their loss, in many cases, was inevitable but I hope that this publication will create an awareness that others, too valuable to be allowed to disappear, are at risk. The protection and refurbishment of old buildings is costly, but I am confident that present conservation policies, allied with improving public and private attitudes towards preservation, have created a strong body of opinion in favour of the constructive re-use of the best of those which survive.

  • Economy & Regeneration
    Date 26 June 2018 Version 1.0 (Cabinet) Approved by KB ECONOMY & REGENERATION PORTFOLIO HOLDER’S INTRODUCTION This is my third annual Portfolio Agreement, which summarises the Economy & Regeneration Portfolio’s work programme and its intended outcomes for the next 12 months. The 2017/18 Annual Report was published last month and this Agreement sets out how we will build on the work described in that report to make our Borough an even better place to live, visit, work and do business. We are working hard to ensure that the Borough’s economy continues to grow, but we are now placing particular emphasis on ensuring this growth is inclusive growth – growth that benefits all sections of our community. Work and skills issues are a key part of this work and earlier this year we held a Work & Skills Commission involving a series of workshops with employers, workers & jobseekers (including young people) and educators & trainers. These aimed to identify the priorities that we need to focus on to ensure our residents have access to good jobs and our workforce has the skills our employers need. Findings from the Commission will inform a work programme for a new Work & Skills Board and I will report on the Board's work in my regular performance reports. Its work will link with and complement work underway in the Reform & Governance portfolio that is investigating factors that seem to trap some of our residents in poverty. Finding and sustaining a good job can be the key to escaping poverty, but ill health can be a barrier to employment.
