The Contribution this Decision would Portfolio Holder activity is in line with the CIP make to the Council’s Key Aims priorities. Is this a Key Decision No Portfolio Holder Cllr Tim Heslop, Leader Lead Member of Staff Corporate Management Team – as indicated (A detailed list of implications is appended to the report) 1.0 Introduction 1.1 The purpose of the report is to provide Full Council with an update and overview of the activities of the Executive and individual portfolio members during the previous cycle since the last Portfolio Reports went to Full Council Meeting on 3 March 2010. 2.0 Content The activities of the Executive and Portfolio Holders is as follows: 2.1 Leader of the Council: Councillor Tim Heslop I attended a forum on Flooding Resilience in London. Tony Cunningham gave a presentation on the Flooding in Allerdale. The purpose of the forum was to look at measures that can be taken to lessen the impact on Communities of flooding as the likelihood of severe weather events increases. It is estimated that one in six properties will be at risk of flooding by 2035. Average winter rainfall in the North West is expected to increase by 35% by 2080. We must protect electricity and water and sewage pumping stations as well as road and rail networks and key buildings. It is vital to maintain highway gullies. It is possible to designate third party assets such as garden walls, which means they cannot be altered or removed without consent. Pressure is being applied to Insurance Companies to build in flood resilience, such as tiled floors, electrical wiring from above and stainless steel kitchen units, when repairing properties. Pressures on the Health Service include high stress levels leading in some cases to Mental Health issues outbreaks of gastro enteritis and asthma attacks from living in damp accommodation. West Cumbria Development Agency have worked with 55 businesses to help them to recover from the flood by providing business advice and helping them to access funding and helped to re-establish the Cockermouth Chamber of Trade. Altogether WCDA have supplied advice to 157 Businesses and 143 Business reviews in the 10 months to 31/1/10. WCDA is developing an ‘Energy Opportunities Supply chain Project’, working closely with ‘Britain’s Energy Coast – West Cumbria’ to replace the North West Supply Chain Project a 3 year project which is coming to an end. This will use a similar format to the previous successful programme to encourage local businesses to take up opportunities in Nuclear Decommissioning, New Build and those in Renewables. West Cumbria Development Fund approved grant s of £800,000 to provide a further 7 units at Blencathra Business Centre at Threlkeld Quarry. This site was expanded in 2003 to 24 units and is providing employment for about 70 people supporting businesses with a turnover of more than £5m.The expansion will provide employment for approximately 36 people. The fund also granted £40k to match the contributions from NWDA, Allerdale and County Councils, the partners in establishing the Maryport Harbour Authority as a Trust Port. The Harbour Authority has been supported with income from Maryport Developments Ltd Due to the recession this is no longer possible. This money will support the fledgling Authority during the next 12 months while we look for a more permanent solution. Cumbria Tourism has a contract with NWDA for three years ending 31/3/12 although they have the right to amend the contract and are under extreme pressure to reduce costs and have asked all Tourist Boards to advise them what they would do if faced with a 26% reduction in funding. The 2010 marketing plan will address the ‘relaunch’ of Cumbria especially those areas hit by the floods. We have hosted meetings of the Cockermouth Flood Action Group with Tony Cunningham, the County Council and the Environment Agency. We have had a positive meeting with Northern Rail over the future of train services on the West Coast Line. They are holding monthly meetings with the Department for Transport to maintain the ‘shuttle service’. Funding is in place to retain the service until the 28th May, but we will need to demonstrate a business case to retain the service after this. They would like to retain the temporary station. This station in its present form has a 2 year life. We discussed future opportunities. In the short term these appear to be limited as there are no spare rolling stock in the Country and little likelihood of there being any before 2015. They welcome our support to bring about improvements on the line 2.2 Deputy Leader & Finance & Asset Management Portfolio: Councillor David Wilson Finance The financial position as at the end of December, 2009, stated that the Council had incurred net expenditure of £16,421,725 or 81.8% of the revised budget of £20,069,740. The budget holders at that point forecasted for the remaining 3 months of the financial year they would spend £1,842,949 0r 9.2% of the budget, resulting in an under spend at the year end of approximately 9%. The forecast position up to the end of year can be updated to take account of actual expenditure and income in January and February. Therefore, adjusted year end variance-under spend can be estimated at £551,736. The downturn in the UK economy has continued, and interest rates have remained at a historical low, placing additional pressure on the Treasury Management function. Concessionary Travel Just to remind Councillors that the Concessionary Bus Travel changes to the age of eligibility for travel in line with the state pension age from April 2010. So, as the pensionable age for women gradually increase from 60 to 65 over the ten year period from 2010 to 2020 so too will the age of eligibility for the bus concessionary bus pass increase for both men and women. Flood recovery The Bellwin claim has been submitted to the Government office for recovery costs of the November floods, for Cockermouth, Keswick, Workington and the rural areas. Asset Management Resurfacing at the Lakeside Car Park, Keswick, at a cost of £80k. Repairs to Bell Close Car Park, Keswick, at a cost of £15k. Replacement of timber windows with double glazed windows, for energy efficiency measures, at a cost of 37k. Decoration of the café, dance studio and art studio at the Carnegie Theatre at a cost of £16k. Finally demolition of Oldside café block on health and safety grounds, at a cost of £3.5k 2.3 Resources Portfolio: Councillor Chris Garrard ictCONNECT The ictCONNECT shared service went live on 01 April 2010 and saw the transfer of Carlisle ICT staff to Allerdale as the employing authority. The partnership is managed with equal governance and there is a Joint Operational Board (officer based) chaired by Allerdale in the first year and a Member Strategic Board (portfolio holders) chaired by Carlisle in the first year. The chair role for each board will alternate between Councils each year. • The Allerdale Borough Council website was recently awarded the highest level (4 stars) of quality in a recent national survey and is recognised as providing an excellent service to our customers. The website is also recognised as being one of only 11 ‘excellent’ rated websites in the country. • Work continues towards the implementation of a new Revenues & Benefits system for Allerdale as part of the move to the new Shared Revenues & Benefits service that has been agreed with Copeland & Carlisle. • A major power down was successfully undertaken on Saturday 20 March 2010 to check electrical circuits in Allerdale House. • Stephen Kirkpatrick, Shared ICT Services Manager, has submitted his resignation after 8 1/2 years with Allerdale, and will be moving on to assume the role of Director of IT for Cumbria Constabulary. A temporary internal appointment is due to be made to replace Stephen, before external advertising of the post on a permanent basis. Equality & Diversity (Thematic) As per my last report this panel is now 'up and running' and the County-wide District Councils plus the CCC will meet again, to set up an agenda, at Carlisle on April 27th. I intend being there on behalf of ABC. Democratic Services • Staff are in the process of making arrangements for the Parliamentary Election, which has now been confirmed for the 6 May. Members are requested to encourage their constituents to ensure they are on the register, to ensure they are able to vote. Members are also asked to note that they should advise anyone who has a postal vote or who has changed their name or address recently to make sure they have notified Democratic Services of the changes, so they don't risk their postal vote being rejected. The deadline for new applicants to be included on the register for the Parliamentary is Tuesday 20 April. • All polling stations have now been booked and arrangements for the Counts and postal vote opening sessions are being completed. It is currently the intention to hold the Count on the day after polling day, to ensure an accurate result as possible.

Introduction Much has been written and reported on the subject of Child Poverty in the UK ten years into the 21st century. Sixty years after the founding of the welfare state, the right to be dismayed by the residual tragedy of Child Poverty is entirely pertinent and singularly anachronistic. Last year Jamie Reed MP (Chair of Energy Coast Leaders© Group) declared his deep concern at the continuing failure of economic policies in the late 20th and early 21st Centuries to eradicate Child Poverty in spite of the then government having set very ambitious targets to do so.
