Agreed - That the public minutes of the meeting held on 12 February 2020 be approved as a correct record and signed by the Chairman. 20/23 DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST There were no declarations of interest. KO 2 of 11 Version 0.2 20/24 PUBLIC ACTION LOG Consideration was given to the public action log. Arising from the report: 1) Minute 18/83 – North Yorkshire and York Staff Governor It was noted the elected staff Governor had since resigned from their position in the Trust. Governors agreed that this action was no longer a priority. Action – Closed 2) Minute 19/70 – Autism Training It was agreed that a future date would be agreed for this report to be submitted to the Council. 3) Minute 20/04 – IAPT service It was agreed that a future date would be agreed for this report to be submitted to the Council. 4) Minute 20/08 – Gender Pay Gap It was agreed that a future date would be agreed for this report to be submitted to the Council. 20/25 CHAIRMAN UPDATE The Chairman provided a briefing on the following matters: 1) Governance related meetings were starting to return to pre-Covid schedules. Planning was underway to develop the meeting schedules for the Board, its Committees and the Council of Governors for the first six months of 2021. 2) Governors had been invited to meetings focussed on their localities with the relevant Directors of Operations. These had been successful. Further meetings would be convened in 2021. 3) Covid still dominated discussions and remained a priority. Staff and services had coped exceptionally well, but there was a sense that ‘tiredness’ was starting to show. It was therefore extremely important that there was no loss of focus in the provision of support for staff through the wellbeing initiatives that had been put in place. 4) The establishment of the ICS’s and ICP’s was progressing. It was recognised that there had been limited information available to Governors on these key developments. Briefing sessions would be developed for early in 2021. Action Item – Kathryn Ord 5) A significant amount of work had taken place regarding the strategic framework and business planning for the Trust. This was still ongoing and further work was planned for December and early in 2021. KO 3 of 11 Version 0.2 6) In relation to complaints, the Trust had embarked on a major review which had commenced with the delivery of a pilot training event focussed around empathy. This had involved staff and service users and carers. Excellent feedback had been received and the next stages of taking the review forward were being planned. Agreed – That the Council of Governors received and noted the update of the Chairman. 20/26 CHIEF EXECUTIVE UPDATE Brent Kilmurray presented his update reported highlighting the following matters: 1. Big Conversation • A significant number of staff, service users, carers and public had contributed to this engagement exercise. • Over 36,000 elements of data had been received and the analysis of this was underway. • The focus now was to interpret the findings to influence the strategic framework of the Trust including re-visiting the purpose, vision, goals and values of the organisation. • The Board of Directors would, at its next meeting consider a draft proposal which had been developed following the conclusion of the workshops held in October and November. • By the end of January the Trust was expected to be in a position to have an agreement of the overall strategic framework and the three to four key strategic transformation priorities. • Governors were thanked for their contributions so far during this process. 2. Care Quality Commission (CQC) Action Plan • Good progress had been made delivering the key actions identified by the CQC. • Eight actions had been completed, seven actions were still being progressed and four had been reported as behind schedule. • Covid had impacted some delivery of the required actions. • CQC would be moving to a new transitional regulatory approach. 3. Infection, Prevention and Control (IPC) • IPC guidance had been constantly updated in line with national guidance and local restrictions. • Learning from incidents regarding IPC and outbreaks was underway. • Episodes of patient leave continued to be individually risk assessed. • There had been a greater level of nosocomial infections.

All rights reserved. 2018. www.creativerail.co.uk A Brief History of the Route The first incarnation of the East Coast Main Line dates back to 1850 when London to Edinburgh services became possible on the completion of a permanent bridge over the River Tweed. However, the route was anything but direct, would have taken many, many hours and would have been exhausting. By 1852, the Great Northern Railway had completed the 'Towns Line' between Werrington (Peterborough) and Retford, which saw journey times between York and London of five hours. Edinburgh to London was a daunting eleven. Over time, the route has endured harsh periods, not helped by two world wars. It only benefited from very little improvement. Nevertheless, journey times did shrink. Names and companies synonymous with the route, such as, LNER and Gresley have secured their place in history, along with the most famous service - 'The Flying Scotsman'. Motive power also developed with an ever increasing calibre including A3s, A4s Class 55s and HSTs that have powered expresses through the decades. The introduction of HST services in 1978 saw the Flying Scotsman reach Edinburgh in only five hours. A combination of remodelling, track improvements and full electrification has seen a further reduction to what it is today, which sees the Scotsman complete the 393 miles in under four and a half hours in the capable hands of Class 91 and Mk4 IC225 formations.

    Minerals and Waste Core Strategy

    Tees Valley Joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents In association with Core Strategy DPD Adopted September 2011 27333-r22.indd 1 08/11/2010 14:55:36 i ii Foreword The Tees Valley Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents (DPDs) - prepared jointly by the boroughs of Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees - bring together the planning issues which arise from these two subjects within the sub-region. Two DPDs have been prepared. This Minerals and Waste Core Strategy contains the long-term spatial vision and the strategic policies needed to achieve the key objectives for minerals and waste developments in the Tees Valley. The separate Policies and Sites DPD, which conforms with it, identifies specific sites for minerals and waste development and sets out policies which will be used to assess minerals and waste planning applications. The DPDs form part of the local development framework and development plan for each Borough. They cover all of the five Boroughs except for the part within Redcar and Cleveland that lies within the North York Moors National Park. (Minerals and waste policies for that area are included in the national park’s own local development framework.) The DPDs were prepared during a lengthy process of consultation. This allowed anyone with an interest in minerals and waste in the Tees Valley the opportunity to be involved. An Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State carried out an Examination into the DPDs in early 2011. He concluded that they had been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and were sound.

    Tees Valley Local Major Scheme Prioritisation Draft 3

    Appendix 1 Tees Valley Local Major Scheme Prioritisation Draft 3 This note sets out the draft priority list for the Tees Valley’s 2015‐19 local major transport scheme budget, which has been devolved from central government. The management of this budget is explained in further detail within the Tees Valley Local Major Transport Schemes Assurance Framework. The process and the Tees Valley’s current position is summarised below: 1 Appendix 1 Scheme Identification and Sifting Scheme Identification A long list of highway and public transport schemes has been identified through the Tees Valley Area Action Plan (AAP). This has been achieved within the AAP by identifying congestion hotspots using the Tees Valley Multimodal Model. The model helps to predict where development and growth, specified within the Development Database, will contribute to future congestion on the Tees Valley’s Strategic Road Network. Numerous schemes are then tested within the model to identify which will mitigate these congestion hotspots and appropriate schemes are added to the long list. The long list of schemes has also been supplement by schemes identified by local authorities through work they have undertaken on a site by site basis. The model provides an assessment of each scheme and produces outputs that can be used within the sifting and prioritisation process. Sifting The sifting criteria have been selected so that any scheme that reaches the prioritisation phase would most likely be able to be developed into a WebTAG compliant business case with further work. The sifting criteria are: Value for Money: A Benefit Cost Ration (BCR) of greater than 1.5 Total Scheme Cost: Between £1.5m and £20m Timescale: A scheme would be deliverable within the funding period (2015‐19) and would provide sufficient benefits to offset its costs within 5 years of the end of the period.

    Identifying Richard III – an Interview with Dr Turi King

    The Post Hole Special Feature Identifying Richard III – an interview with Dr Turi King Emily Taylor1 1Department of Archaeology, University of York, The King’s Manor, York, YO1 7EP Email: [email protected] In light of the recent discovery of Richard III, Dr Turi King, lecturer in genetics and archaeology at the University of Leicester, talks about her involvement in the research project that found England’s final Plantagenet king in this exclusive interview with The Post Hole. You were an important part in the exciting search for Richard III. When did you become involved with the project? Richard Buckley contacted me about the idea of my involvement in 2011, but it wasn’t until August 2012 that the project went ahead. The University of Leicester worked in collaboration with the Richard III Society and Leicester City Council and the search didn’t begin until 2012 due to issues with getting funding sorted and carrying out the desk-based survey. In 1986, David Baldwin wrote an article called 'King Richard's Grave in Leicester' giving the potential location of Richard’s grave. Then the historian John Ashdown-Hill wrote a book in 2011, The Last Days of Richard III, which again spoke about the likely location of the grave and also included a section on the possibility of identifying Richard through DNA analysis. John had traced a female line relative of Richard III, Joy Ibsen, who could act as a comparator if any putative remains of Richard III were found. This, among other things, inspired Philippa Langley to contact the University of Leicester Archaeological Services about the possibility of carrying out an archaeological project.
