SUMMARY 1.1 This report gives details of the draft Area Action Plan for Wollaton and Lenton Abbey Area Committee. It is a draft plan covering April 2004 to March 2009. It contains details of area wide priorities as well as specifically neighbourhood renewal priorities thereby presenting a holistic identification of need in the area. It was put together as a result of discussions with a range of people represented on the Neighbourhood Renewal Steering Group and local people. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS 2.1 It is recommended that Wollaton & Lenton Abbey Area Committee: - (i) Agree the draft Local Area Action Plan and for a summarised version of it to be forwarded to One City Partnership for consideration by 12th January 2004 (ii) Agree that further extensive consultation with the local community and other relevant groups, takes place between February and March 2004 on the draft area action plan. (iii) Item the area action plan (after receipt of comments from One City Partnership and further consultation with key stakeholders) on the agenda of the April area committee meeting for final approval and adoption. 3. BACKGROUND 3.1 All Area Committees are required to produce an Area Action Plan to demonstrate how they propose to meet the social, environmental and economical needs of the area and particularly those neighbourhoods in greatest need. 3.2 The Area Action Plan is intended to provide a framework of strategic priorities from which the local authority, agencies and local people can work from to meet the needs of area, city and national objectives. 3.3 The Area Action Plan is a draft plan and will be consulted on widely before final approval and adoption by Wollaton and Lenton Abbey Area Committee. 1 3.4 The draft area action plan will be submitted to One City Partnership by 12 th January 2004 for consideration. 3.5 Further consultation will take place after this with key stakeholders to clarify, confirm and adopt the proposals in the plan. 4.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Why this plan? (a) All area committees are required to produce an area action plan to demonstrate how they propose to meet the social, environmental, economical and technical needs of the area and particularly in those neighbourhoods of greatest need. (b) Neighbourhood Renewal is about reversing the spiral of neighbourhood decline, economically, socially and environmentally through making sure that mainstream services deliver in deprived areas. (c) Floor targets or public service agreements set by government departments means that departments will be judged on the areas where services are doing worst. Because ‘renewing neighbourhoods’ is the priority for Wollaton and Lenton Abbey Area Committee, this plan focuses not only on those most deprived areas as defined by the neighbourhood renewal boundaries (i.e. Lenton Abbey Housing Estate), but it also includes priorities for the area as a whole. (d) Nottingham City Council recognises that for neighbourhood regeneration to be improved and sustained, that it will require a host of people engaged in working in partnerships with those who effect and are affected by neighbourhood services, i.e. local people. (e) Central Government/Nottingham City - A number of key government policies have influenced the agenda for Neighbourhood Renewal/Regeneration. The key policies/documents are: • Comprehensive Performance Assessment – 2002 – An authority wide assessment of council services by the Audit Commission, which graded the authority a score of ‘weak’ and ‘requiring improvement in certain areas’, (including the ‘added value’ of area committees). • Gearing Up for Change – 2003 – Local policy outlining the aspiration of Nottingham City Council to become a modern influential city nationally, regionally and locally • Respect for Nottingham – 2003 – Local policy emphasising the aim of Nottingham City to clean up the City’s streets from social ails like begging, crime, cleanliness, drugs etc. 7 • Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy – National policy to reverse the social, economic and environmentally decline in the poorest areas. • Equality Standard for Local Government – 2001 – Main Equality Commissions’ agenda for mainstreaming equalities and measuring performance against key indicators. 1.2 What is the Area Action Plan ? (a) The area action plan is a five-year plan covering: April 2004 to March 2009. Targets are set to 2006. The plan is intended to provide an initial framework of strategic priorities from which the local authority, agencies and local people can work, to meet the needs of area, local and national objectives. It is a living, breathing, changing document encompassing a range of targets for improvement and which focuses on specific social, environmental and economical themes. It will be updated from 2006 onwards. (b) The plan is in 6 parts: (i) Introduction/Background, (ii) Profile of the area, (iii) Area Priorities, (iv) Area Targets, (v) The Way Forward and (vi) Appendices/Bibliography (c) It is the first ‘draft’ in the many stages of area action planning and is in no way complete. Although some consultation has taken place, further ongoing detailed consultation on the plan will take place in the New Year. This will involve a number of public, voluntary, community and private sectors stakeholders so as to develop the action plan further. Additional secondary information/data has yet to be obtained in order to complete the plan and thus ensure it is valid in accordance with ‘today’s’ assessment of need. (d) This draft plan will be approved by the area committee, prior to it going to One City Partnership Nottingham in early January 2004 before going out to further consultation in February/March 2004. 1.3 Funding (a) The area action plan will be funded from a range of funding sources to include existing departmental budgets, budgets of other public services, central government funds and charitable bodies. However there are two principle-funding streams from which funding for this plan will be sought:- (b) Neighbourhood Renewal Funding is money to enhance the ‘processes’ of delivering mainstream services in neighbourhoods of deprivation. It is not about stand-alone projects. Nottingham City has approximately £6 million for 04/05 and a further £9 million for 05/06, with additional funds of approximately £11.5 million for existing projects and specific priorities. (c) Area Committee Funds is money to each area committee for allocation to primarily voluntary groups/organisations to provide goods or services that compliment those services of local authority and other public services in the area. Funding is for capital costs although initial revenue costs may be 8 considered where projects are able to sustain themselves financially independent of ongoing committee funds. The area committee allocation for 03/04 is approximately £38 thousand pounds. 1.4 Who was involved in area action planning? (a) A number of people were involved in putting together this area action plan. Attempts were made to encourage and ensure that a four-sector representation was achieved in contributing to the plan and its future implementation. A Neighbourhood Renewal Steering group was established and met to assist the process. Membership details are included in appendix one. (b) In addition to the steering group, three working groups were also established to provide a specific focus to each area of the plan. A structure chart and terms of reference are contained in appendix 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. To ensure broad representation, the Education, Health and Employment working group is chaired by a local representative, the Crime and Community Safety working group is chaired by a local councillor and the Housing and Living Environment is chaired by a senior officer of the local authority. (c) A sub group of the Crime and Community Safety working group had already been in existence prior to formal area action planning structures coming into place. This group is made up of local people concerned with crime and community safety on and around Bramcote Lane. This group will continue to run in parallel to the Crime and Community Safety Working group and will continue to be chaired by the elected councillor.

It provides robust data that reflects the perceptions of Area 7 residents on key quality of life, anti social behaviour and corporate satisfaction indicators/figures 2.0 RECOMMENDATIONS IT IS RECOMMENDED that the Committee: − Note the Area 7 findings − Note that Council Departments will analyse the data presented by Mori and integrate them into their service planning processes for 2006/2007 − Note that information from the survey is to be used to develop the Community Plan. 3 BACKGROUND INFORMATION 3.1 In October/November 2005 MORI undertook Nottingham’s 2 nd Residents survey. The Council worked in partnership with One Nottingham who wished to engage city residents as part of the safer and stronger communities’ strand of Neighbourhood Renewal, focussing on local communities’ quality of life. In total 2,033 City residents took part of these 207 are Area 7 residents. 3.2 It is worth noting that the survey dealt with residents’ perceptions at the time the survey was conducted rather than facts . Residents’ perceptions, therefore, may not accurately represent the level and quality of services that are currently provided in Area 7 and Nottingham as a whole. One of the challenges will be to link these perceptions with other data that is available, for example, performance indicators or other measurements of service quality.

    Chapter Eight: Accessibility Priorities for Greater Nottingham Accessibility Strategy 2006/7 – 2010/11 147 148 Accessibility Strategy 2006/7 – 2010/11 Introduction 8.1. Following on from the Strategic Accessibility Assessment in Chapter 7, this chapter sets out the accessibility priorities for Greater Nottingham and explains why specific issues, groups and areas have been selected for action over the Plan period, with more detailed local accessibility analysis presented for the Local Accessibility Action plans proposed for early action from 2006/7. Accessibility priorities – initial scoping 8.2. An initial scoping of the likely accessibility priorities for the Plan area was presented in the Framework Accessibility Strategy which drew upon the opportunities identified from the wider national and local policy context set out in Chapters 3 and 4 and the partnership working described in Chapter 6. This provided a broad picture of the accessibility issues facing Greater Nottingham and where future resources and action should be concentrated over the Plan period in terms of key origins, destinations and networks: 8.3. Origins: Access requirements need to be considered for key population groups across Greater Nottingham, with a particular focus on those without access to a car, plus all those living within specific communities which have been prioritised by the authorities as being in particular need. Accessibility origins are set out in Table 8.1. 8.4. Destinations: Consideration was also given to the location of core services. The priority destinations set out in Table 8.2 include new employment land sites, district centres as defined in the Local Plans, other local centres and major shopping locations and other key destinations determined by developments taking place over the Plan period as set out in the programme in Annex D.

All rights reserved of the authors. ISBN: 978-0-9934093-2-5 2 Foreword The Decent Homes Programme (DHP) was introduced by the UK Government in 2000 to address ‘a large backlog of repairs in local authority housing, estimated at £19 billion in 1997’. It aimed at improving the homes of social housing tenants, making them ‘warm, wind-and weather-tight, and with reasonable modern facilities’, based on a defi ned ‘Decent Homes Standard’ (National Audit Offi ce, 2010). Nottingham City Homes (NCH) initiated its £187m Decent Homes Programme in 2008, branded locally as Secure, Warm, Modern (SWM), to improve the 28,300 council-owned properties in the city up to and beyond the Government’s standard. It was widely assumed that making homes secure, warm and modern would result in a number of benefi ts to the lives of individual tenants, and also that a such a large investment would have a signifi cant positive impact on particular neighbourhoods and on the city as a whole.

  • Wollaton East & Lenton Abbey Ward Councillors' Monthly Update
    WOLLATON EAST & LENTON ABBEY WARD COUNCILLORS’ MONTHLY UPDATE: FEBRUARY 2019 Residents’ Parking Schemes The schemes covering Wollaton Hall Drive, Wemyss Gardens, Oundle Drive, and the remainder of Lenton Abbey have come into force. Residents of Charles, Varden and Lawley Avenues found out that a change of Council policy meant that the previously chargeable parking scheme had now become free to permanent residents, and they will be receiving refunds of future permit charges. L5 Bus We have been receiving feedback on the proposals to change the L5 bus route. These proposals have been entirely brought about by the Council's need to make cuts of £21 million because of reduced funding from central Government. It’s important to note that there is no intention to change the coverage of Wollaton Park Estate, the bus would continue to go along Sutton Passey's Crescent and Orston Drive, the changes would be entirely on the way to and from the city. The proposed route would not go to Castle Marina, but straight to the City via Derby Road, and on a couple of occasions would return via Ilkeston Road and go up Charlbury Road to pick up and drop off passengers there. All comments are being passed onto the Transport team, who are weighing up local views - whether the route around Castle Marina should continue with possibly reduced frequency, or maintain the regularity and go directly to and from the Victoria Centre. Any further comments gratefully received, we want to hear your views. Hard Standing Project Bosley Square and Enderby Square When the Parking scheme was being proposed it became clear that there are some problems with access because of the very narrow road and tight bends in these two Squares.
