To ensure a spread of jobs across the area and to demonstrate coverage in those areas with highest concentrations of unemployment and opportunities, Portsmouth City Council is leading on behalf of the Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH). 1.2 What other partners are involved? (Please list) To ensure delivery of jobs both in terms of concentration of opportunities and those most in need the sub-region delivery of the ‘New Jobs, New Futures’ project will be led by Hampshire County Council (HCC) with Portsmouth City Council (PCC) co-ordinating delivery in Urban South Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight. Additionally, the project is supported by the North Hampshire Economic Board which has co-ordinated opportunities in the North of the sub-region. The Hampshire and Isle of Wight sub-region has a population of over 1.8million residents. Additionally, two of the eight “Diamonds for Investment and Growth” identified in SEEDA’s Regional Economic Strategy are in this area: Basingstoke and Urban South Hampshire. With these opportunities both in the North and South of the sub-region it is essential that the project coverage reaches to Basingstoke in the North, the city regions of Portsmouth and Southampton in the South and to the Isle of Wight. In addition to HCC and PCC being employing bodies this sub-regional coverage will be enabled by the project partners who are actively involved in the development and delivery of the project, detailed in Appendix I and below: Other employing bodies: Southampton City Council Public Sector The Isle of Wight Council Public Sector Groundwork Solent Third Sector The Wheatsheaf Trust Third Sector Community Empowerment Third Sector Solent University Third Sector The Portsmouth & South East Hants Partnership Third Sector VT Training Private Sector Job creation partners (where HCC or PCC remains the employing body): Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council Public Sector East Hampshire District Council Public Sector Eastleigh Borough Council Public Sector Fareham Borough Council Public Sector Gosport Borough Council Public Sector web: www.dwp.gov.uk/futurejobsfund 4 email: [email protected] Hart District Council Public Sector Havant Borough Council Public Sector New Forest District Council Public Sector Rushmoor District Council Public Sector Test Valley District Council Public Sector Winchester City Council Public Sector Basingstoke College of Technology Third Sector First Partnership Third Sector Hart Neighbourhood Centre Third Sector First Sight Third Sector Testway Housing Third Sector First Wessex Housing Third Sector Newbury Community Resource Centre Third Sector SCA Institute of Social Enterprise Third Sector Taylor Wimpy Woodrow Private Sector Farnborough Leisure Centre Private Sector Basingstoke Sports Centre Private Sector HCC employee training and support partner: Enham Third Sector The New Jobs, New Futures project is supported by PUSH, The Hampshire Economic Partnership and the North Hampshire Economic Board. 1.3 Responsibilities: who is the senior responsible officer?

With its rural, urban and coastal zones this sub-region affords a diverse range of industries. The consortium will see 29 partners creating job opportunities across a wide geographic area to deliver a variety of community benefits, fitting broadly into the following categories: Conservation and countryside Environmental improvements and regeneration Leisure, recreation and tourism Improved community facilities and public places Social enterprise support and development Sector support of hospitality, construction and tourism The tangible practical improvements of creating these jobs will include better access to green space, safer and more welcoming urban centres, better access to and awareness of healthy lifestyles; improved leisure and web: www.dwp.gov.uk/futurejobsfund 6 email: [email protected] recreational facilities; improved community facilities and more opportunities for young and older people. The New Jobs, New Futures project will give job opportunities and training to young people to improve their employability, including jobs in sectors that have identified skills shortage, enabling them to contribute economically to their communities. Giving young people the opportunity to undertake work that genuinely benefits communities will engender a sense of community pride and ownership in participants long after the Future Jobs Fund programme. The skills learnt through the New Jobs, New Futures project will not only equip these young people for future employment opportunities but will improve their life skills generally, enabling them to better contribute to their own communities. By involving young people in projects to benefit communities negative attitudes towards young people can be reversed, creating a more cohesive society. Consultations, surveys of residents and local community planning processes across Hampshire, Portsmouth, Southampton and the Isle of Wight show that the community benefits that will be delivered by the New Jobs, New Futures project are issues that matter to people’s quality of life as identified in the priorities of the 4 Sustainable Community Strategies2 that cover the sub-region. Furthermore, the community benefits of the project meet the priorities and

Two Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) are still currently in place at Gosport Road and Portland Street for nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Following the conclusions of this report it is recommended that the present AQMA declarations should remain. The monitoring data for 2013 has indicated that the annual mean NO2 objective was achieved at all monitoring locations except for two sites within the existing AQMAs that is, G7 and PS3 and one site outside the existing AQMAs, G10. A detailed assessment was conducted at G10 in 2010 which showed no exceedances at the façade of the properties and the AQMAs were not adjusted. As the exceedance is marginal (40.50µg/m3), a continuation of monitoring will take place in order to fully assess whether a detailed assessment is required in the future.

    View this email in your browser Happy new year! Just one month into the new decade and already so much has happened. Her Majesty the Queen has granted Royal Assent to the Brexit Bill. The Act, now enshrined in law, means the UK will be leaving the EU at 11pm tonight, 31 January! Although Brexit has dominated headlines, there have been a lot of other positive announcements from Parliament this month; A ban on gambling businesses allowing customers to use credit cards will come into force in April £80 million funding investment to music hubs across the country, so that children have more opportunities to learn creative and musical skills Delivering on our manifesto promise, the NHS Long Term Plan Funding Bill has entered Parliament, placing a legal duty on the government to provide a minimum spend of £33.9bn a year by 2024 We've introduced the Environment Bill to Parliament allowing us to tackle climate change head-on, protecting and restoring our natural environment for future generations. In local NHS news, I met with the CEO of Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust who have recently been rated ‘Good’ by the CQC, showing the progress made at the Trust and reflecting the quality of care provided by staff. I also caught up with the Portsmouth Down Syndrome Association to hear more about their wonderful work across our region. Also announced this month, the roll-out of the Veterans Railcard which will be available from Armistice Day this year, giving our veterans 1/3 off their rail fares. Our area has among the highest number of veterans in the UK, a testament to our proud and rich military links past and present.

Scanning In 2005, scanning of information held on Police databases took place, and in addition, a detailed survey was conducted with 1800 Bridgemary residents, which gathered information on pertinent Policing issues.
