  • Devon Districts Procurement Strategy 2019-2022
    Devon Districts Procurement Strategy 2019-2022 1 CONTENTS Introduction Background Outcomes Action Plan Contacts 2 Introduction This is the third iteration of the Devon District Procurement Strategy. The strategy sets out our vision and our priorities for the next four years to 2022 incorporating the latest government procurement legislation and initiatives. We aim to provide quality services that are responsive to the needs of our communities and deliver optimum value for money. The strategy sets out how we aim to achieve this over the longer term and includes an action plan for the forthcoming year which will be regularly reviewed and a new action plan produced each year. By taking a collaborative approach we can improve the quality of the goods, services and works which we purchase whilst still seeking to achieve value for money and make the savings necessary to support the austerity measures. The Devon Districts who will be adopting this strategy are: Exeter City Council Mid Devon District Council North Devon District Council South Hams District Council Teignbridge District Council Torridge District Council West Devon Borough Council. It is the intention of the majority of Districts that this will be the sole procurement strategy for their council. What is procurement? Procurement is concerned with securing goods, works and services. The process spans the whole cycle, from identification of needs through to the end of a service or the end of the useful life of an asset and its disposal. It is concerned with securing goods and services that best meet the needs of users and the local community in order to help achieve our key priorities.

  • Ward Whimple and Rockbeare Reference 19/1606/FUL Applicant
    Ward Whimple And Rockbeare Reference 19/1606/FUL Applicant Mr N Readfern (Whimbrel Homes Ltd) Location The Elms London Road Whimple Exeter EX5 2PH Proposal Construction of 3 bay garage with flat above RECOMMENDATION: 1. That the Habitat Regulations Appropriate Assessment contained within the report be adopted; and, 2. The application be APPROVED subject to conditions. Crown Copyright and database rights 2019 Ordnance Survey 100023746 Committee Date: 29th August 2019 Whimple And Target Date: Rockbeare 19/1606/FUL 18.09.2019 (Rockbeare) Applicant: Mr N Readfern (Whimbrel Homes Ltd) Location: The Elms London Road Proposal: Construction of 3 bay garage with flat above RECOMMENDATION: 1. That the Habitat Regulations Appropriate Assessment contained within the report be adopted; and, 2. The application be APPROVED subject to conditions. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This application is before Members as it represents a departure from adopted policy. The proposal seeks to provide a flat above a garage block that has previously benefitted from planning permission. As the principle of development of the site has been found to be acceptable by a Planning Inspector in 2016, due to its close relationship of the site with Cranbrook, and with planning permission subsequently approved for the garage block as part of a development of 4 dwellings on the site, the principle of a building in this location and residential use of the site has been established and is acceptable. The access is suitable to serve the additional dwelling and adequate car parking is provided. Whilst the proposal will increase the ridge height of the garage slightly, and introduce a couple of dormer windows and gable ends to the front and rear elevations, the site is set back from the main road frontage and as such the design of the proposal is considered to be acceptable.

  • Teignmouth Economic and Data Profile Indices of Deprivation
    Teignmouth economic and data profile Included in this profile are recently published datasets, where these are provided for Teignmouth, or for Teignbridge where this is relevant and recent. Additional data may be available from [email protected] upon request to support business cases, where the objective of the case, or bid and bid selection criteria are provided. Indices of deprivation These are reviewed once every four years. Data is provided at the Lower Level Super Output Area (LSOA) which are neighbourhoods of around 1,500-2,000 people. There are 32,844 LSOAs in England and each one is ranked against each other to provide a relative overall position nationally for each neighbourhood. A score of 100% is the least deprived in England and a score of 0% is the most deprived. The index is provided as an overall composite measure of deprivation but is made up of a number of sub-domains, for example income, which are also published alongside the overall index. Often if bidding for national funding pots where deprivation is a factor considered as part of the scoring criteria, the criteria will ask whether the proposed project is in an LSOA that is in the worst 10%/20%/25% in England. Sometimes it can also be helpful even if the project is not within a most deprived LSOA, but is within a mile, or so of them and serves people who live within the most deprived areas to articulate this in the bid. Separately the income and skills domains from the indices of deprivation showing better performing areas can be useful as a proxy of high, or improving levels of income, or skills to articulate to businesses wishing to invest in Teignmouth of the potential market or workforce available.

The key in both hospital and community-based services is to safeguard the quality of care and treatment for patients. That underpins everything we do. And as this report shows, there were some real advances last year. For example, our new service for people with wet, age-related macular degeneration (WAMD) – a common cause of blindness – was recognised as among the best in the South West.

In that time, so much has changed - the countries involved, the powers devolved, the benefits and costs of membership. People feel that the EU is heading in a direction they never signed up for. It is right to negotiate a fresh settlement in the EU that is better for Britain - and then put the result to the British people in an in-out SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN: referendum by the end of 2017. This isn't just a www.letbritaindecide.com Conservative campaign - it's for everyone who believes that we need a different relationship with the EU and that the British people deserve SOUTH WEST MEP CANDIDATE a say. RESULTS Over the last month, Conservative members have been balloted to choose the candidates and their position on the ballot paper for next year’s European Elections. Conservatives are the only party to have backed the campaign to ‘Let Britain Decide’ in a referendum on the EU, following a renegotiation, by the end of 2017. Conservative MEPs have joined David Cameron in standing up for Britain in Europe, something Labour failed to do in over a decade in office. Grant Shapps, Conservative Party Chairman, said; “For 13 years Labour handed power to Brussels.
