Rose of Kingston Theatre – Annex 1 to Appendix F Review of Pension Fund Investment Strategy – Annex 1 to Appendix K APPENDIX B Executive, 13 May 2008 REPORT OF THE OVERVIEW COMMISSION – SHELTERED HOUSING REVIEW Report by the Sheltered Housing Review Working Group of the Overview Commission Executive Member for Housing and Adult Services Purpose To determine the actions to be taken on the proposals of the Sheltered Housing Review Working Group established by the Overview Commission. The Lead Member of the Sheltered Housing Working Group, Councillor Frances Moseley, will give a presentation to the Executive. The Executive is requested to: 1. Thank the Overview Commission Sheltered Housing Working Group for its hard work and dedication in producing a comprehensive review of Sheltered Housing. 2. Agree that the proposals contained in the report will be considered and taken into account in developing detailed proposals for the future of the Sheltered Housing. Reason for action proposed To receive the report of the Overview Commission on the Review of Sheltered Housing. BACKGROUND 1. The Overview Commission set up the working group to look at Sheltered Housing in the context of the overall level of provision, the need for changes to respond to changing demand and options for funding improvements. 2. The members of the group were: Councillors Mick Amson, Rob Lee, Richard Hudson, David Edwards and Sheila Griffin, with Frances Moseley as Lead Member. RECOMMENDATIONS APPROVED BY THE OVERVIEW COMMISSION 3. The Overview Commission considered the Working Group’s final report on the 31 March 2008. This report is attached at Annex 1. The Overview Commission resolved to recommend to the Executive: A. That it consider the following conclusions of the Sheltered Housing Review in any future plans for sheltered housing in the Borough: i. Sheltered housing should represent a lower proportion of the total housing stock than at present ii. The quality of all sheltered housing schemes should be raised to provide independent units and lift access to upper floors, wherever possible iii. One scheme should be sold and the capital receipts be allocated to Housing B2 iv. Two schemes should be upgraded and converted to general needs housing v. The options for the redevelopment of Water Square should be examined with a view to providing high quality sheltered housing and additional general housing and community facilities. B. That all proceeds from the sale of Yew Tree House (which has now been publicly identified as the unit to be sold) be spent on the provision of Sheltered Housing specifically. UPDATE SINCE OVERVIEW COMMISSION MEETING ON 31 MARCH 2008 4. The position of Yew Tree House was considered by the Executive on 8 April 2008 within a wider report on the disposal of Housing Revenue Account (HRA) properties. One of the objectives of this disposals report was to allow for the recycling of value in some assets to fund improvements elsewhere in the housing stock, for example in sheltered housing. The Executive agreed in principle to the disposal of Yew Tree House, with the final decision on the terms for disposal being brought back to the Executive following a market-testing exercise. Officers were authorised to begin discussions with residents about their re-housing options. The report records that, in line with the Overview Panel recommendation, the strong preference would be to reinvest the proceeds from the disposal of Yew Tree House into improvements in sheltered housing elsewhere, though this was subject to the position on the overall funding of the HRA capital programme. Background Papers: Held by author of this report Stella Okoloba, tel. 8547 4623, email [email protected] As listed on Annex 1 – Report to the Overview Commission on 31 March 2008. B3 APPENDIX A OVERVIEW COMMISSION 31 MARCH 2008 FINAL REPORT FROM SHELTERED HOUSING WORKING GROUP SUMMARY The Executive asked the Overview Commission to examine the level and type of provision of sheltered housing in the Borough, in order to deal with changes in demand and the need to remodel existing schemes to provide self contained high quality accommodation. A Working Group was formed and terms of reference agreed. The Working Group met to consider the issues facing sheltered housing in the context of the Borough’s entire housing stock and made an interim report to the Commission on 15 January 2007. The potential options to tailor the sheltered housing stock to meet demand, upgrade units and release surplus stock for other use, including general housing, were outlined. A key constraint, however, being the lack of capital funding available to upgrade schemes. The Working Group has continued with an in-depth look at the options, however, the general housing position has changed and the Working Group has had to take into account the capital shortfall in 2008/09 and the fact that resources to improve the condition of the whole of the Council’s housing will not be available for the foreseeable future.

  • Healthy Transport Plan
    Healthy Transport Plan UPDATE 2010 As part of its continuing site development and acknowledging its role within the local community, Kingston Hospital NHS Trust (KHT) is updating its Healthy Transport Plan (HTP). The HTP will include the following sections, including a review of the current position and introduction of additional measures. 1. Introduction 2. Objectives and benefits of the travel plan 3. Staff surveys 4. Management and funding arrangements 5. Travel Plan Measures Ø Pedestrians / Walking Ø Way finding Ø Cycling Ø Bus Ø Rail Ø Cars / Vehicles Ø Smarter Working Practices Ø Publicity/ Marketing 6. Targets and Monitoring 7. Conclusion Page 2 1. Introduction . The continuing rise in the number of cars on the roads contributes greatly towards the problems of traffic congestion and environmental pollution. It is estimated that the NHS generates around 5% of all traffic on UK Roads, so the Department of Health obliges all NHS Trusts to develop Travel Plans in order to manage the amount of car trips they generate. Kingston Hospital is the largest employer in the Borough and attracts huge amounts of patient and visitor trips, so it is likely that it contributes significantly to traffic congestion on local roads. KHT therefore has a responsibility to reduce the impact of its transport needs, for the benefit of the environment and the local community. In addition, encouraging active travel choices such as cycling and walking can help to combat health problems caused by lack of exercise, which is particularly important to the Hospital in it’s role as a health care provider. KHT has long term plans to expand the Hospital site and services.
