Whilst St Leonard’s Church dates back to the 13 Century, the others were built in the 1950-60’s, when the ‘Wollaton Churches Together ‘group was also formed and started producing the parish magazine and ‘Wollaton Churches Link’ which also promotes non-church community facing activities for the whole community including toddler groups, a youth group, a Muslim/Christian women’s group and activities for older residents.

Elected members welcomed the groups’ activity in the community and particularly the encouragement of multi faith engagement.

RESOLVED to thank Reverend Stuart Bell for his presentation. b COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVE GROUP UPDATES

University of Nottingham Student’s Union Jacob Collier thanked Council Services which had recently hosted a housing event for students. There are serious concerns regarding the safety of Derby Road since the deaths of 2 students in separate incidents and a further two serious incidents in the past few years.

4 Page 6 Wollaton and Lenton Abbey Area Committee (Area 7) - 10.12.18 Councillor Longford agreed and stated that section between the railway line and Priory Island had been highlighted as an issue for speeding vehicles where pedestrians were crossing and also for the lack of a cycle lane. As an arterial route, this road is the responsibility of Highways England and not the City Council but Councillor Longford assured the Committee that the MP Lillian Greenwood has been active in trying to get the safety issues resolved. Highways England has responded that they are reviewing the situation.

Wollaton Churches Together Reverend Stuart Bell thanked Neighbourhood Development Officer Parbinder Singh for the huge amount of work he has done to support the Wollaton Christmas Lights event. The City Council and local traders contribute to the event but funding is reducing so in future years changes may have to be made unless traders can and are willing to increase their contribution. Sponsoring decorations has been suggested.

Friends of Wollaton Park (FoWP) Rob Kirkwood informed the Committee that the group had just held its AGM. Peter Forster has been re-elected as Chair and committee member numbers have increased. The group is always looking for new places to meet and welcomes working together in partnership with other groups which are willing to share information. As such if any other local or like-minded groups would like to know more about FoWP, Rob would be pleased to deliver a brief presentation on the group’s work and activity. Peter Forster informed the Committee that the group had been working hard with the Wollaton Park grounds staff and were looking forward to the 2019 Wollaton Festival.

Wollaton Historical and Conservation Group (WHCG) Earlier in the meeting, when taking the Chair, Councillor Steve Battlemuch had referred to an email which responded to a request by Alan Hall at a previous meeting regarding a ‘Local List’ of historically significant buildings.

‘The principle of NCC holding a Local List was approved at the Executive Board on the 18th September 2018. Information regarding the Criteria and Selection Process is available here https://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control/building-a-better- nottingham/heritage-regeneration/nottingham-local-list/ ….The headline implications are that if a building is recognised as being of historic value to Nottingham and therefore assessed as being worthy to go on the Local List then owners would be required to apply for planning permission if they propose to demolish the building to enable due consideration to be given before something that is valued is lost. The decision of whether to add something to the Local List and impose an Article 4 Direction regarding demolition is delegated to the Portfolio Holder for Planning, Housing and Heritage.

In the New Year there will be promotion of how people can get involved by either making applications or enhancing the draft list.’

Alan Hall welcomed the update on the Local List of building of interest and the opportunity to engage in the New Year.

Lenton Abbey Residents Association (LARA) Adam McGregor reported that the Christmas light switch on went well on 5 December and thanked everyone who had been involved attended and contributed to the event.

Wollaton Festival Sue Twyford reported that plans for the 2019 festival were progressing well. A new Chairperson had been appointed. The group would welcome the involvement of the local churches and

Page5 7 Wollaton and Lenton Abbey Area Committee (Area 7) - 10.12.18 expanding the area of the Festival’s Activity. All councillors are welcome to attend the group’s meetings.

Wollaton Park Resident’s Association Sylvia Taylor informed the Committee that the group’s Christmas Fair had been held on Saturday and was a great success, possibly the best to date, and everyone had a good time.

2019 marks the 100th anniversary of council housing in the UK.

100 years ago, there was a housing crisis in Britain. Soldiers were returning from the First World War, and women had won the right to vote. Housing was high on the list of many people’s concerns – and so the government acted decisively to fund 500,000 houses within three years. The 1919 Housing Act was a huge step forward, making housing a national responsibility and giving councils the task of building the homes people needed. Lloyd George, the Prime Minister promised ‘homes fit for heroes’ that were very different to the typical working class housing of the time. It’s a vision we’ve kept true to with the quality of the council housing we’re still building today. We’re proud of the heritage of council Housing in Nottingham, and we’ll be celebrating the centenary throughout the year, and I hope you’ll get involved. Our Tenant Awards and our Fun Day will be centenary-themed, and we’re also looking at re-issuing our book Homes and Places as a free e-book, and

Report to Area Committee - Area X

working with our tenants to create many more opportunities to celebrate. If you have any more ideas on how we can mark this special year, please do let me know. And as ever, please feel free to share the information in this bulletin and distribute it more widely.

NCH Big Spring Clean

As part of our commitment to making all of our estates five star standard, our NCH Big Spring Clean will be starting again at the end of March and will run until the end of June. More information about the Big Spring Clean will be available on our website and our Facebook page soon.

Recommendation(s): 1 To note the monies available to Wollaton East & Lenton Abbey and Wollaton West Wards as outlined in Appendix 1;

2 For the Area Committee to approve the programme of schemes for Wollaton West Wards as outlined in Appendix 1

Page 35 1 REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS

1.1 The Nottingham LTP strategy 2011-2026 maintains a commitment to deliver local transport improvements across Nottingham’s Neighbourhoods and prioritises small scale transport improvements of importance to local communities.

As part of the budget process Nottingham City Council approved an LTP capital allocation of £1.25 million citywide between 2018-19 and a citywide allocation of General Fund Element (public realm) of £480,000

To give opportunity for the Area Committee to make comment on suggested schemes and their progress

Area Capital Fund schemes, including the Local Transport Plan (LTP) element, have been identified through various methods including consultation, Citizen feedback via Councillors Casework and partnership working.

2 BACKGROUND (INCLUDING OUTCOMES OF CONSULTATION)

2.1 The Area Capital Programme was established in 2006 to improve the environment of the neighbourhoods and to create a sense of place for residents in order to improve the quality of life of local people. The improvements that have been carried out to date using this programmed have included footpath, fences, visual enhancements to public realm, refurbishment of parks and improvements to public buildings.

2.2 Resources are allocated from the Nottingham City Council general fund, the Local Transport Plan (LTP) and from the Housing Revenue Account. To achieve a joint approach to environmental improvements in neighbourhoods, a greater degree of flexibility has been established to prioritise and deliver improvements so that there is a synergy in local solutions for local issues across neighbourhoods.

2.3 The programme of works is a rolling programme. There have been instances where schemes are started, with strong community involvement and interest, only to be altered at a later stage due to changing circumstances such as economic conditions and changes in land values.

2.4 The Area Committee, particularly community representatives, are invited to comment specifically on those schemes identified in the proposals column and also to consider whether certain schemes can be linked to other programmes of work in order to generate best value and create a greater impact on the local area.

3 OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED IN MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS

None

4 FINANCE COLLEAGUE COMMENTS (INCLUDING IMPLICATIONS AND VALUE FOR MONEY/VAT)

Bringing together the various strands which form part of the Area Capital Programme enables the City Council to respond efficiently in delivering on public realm improvements as identified by local people.
