DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST No declarations of interest were made 59. DISABILITY EQUALITY SCHEME 2006-09 A report on the Director of Corporate Strategy, copies of which have been previously circulated to Members, was submitted. The Executive Member for Corporate Strategy presented the report the purpose of which was to present the Council’s Disability Equality Scheme for 2006-09 and to advise Members on the short term actions necessary to insure compliance with the Disability Discrimination (amendment) Act 2005. The Executive Member reminded Members that the Executive had approved the draft Disability Equality Scheme in November 2006. The Disability Discrimination (Amendment) Act 2005 had placed a duty on all public authorities to promote disability and equality. Implementing the scheme would require new ways of working, however in the long term, it would provide a mechanism to improve services and increase customer - 377 - 4 satisfaction for everyone. The scheme would compliment the work that was being developed through the Customer Care Policy and Diversity and Equality Policy. RESOLVED: (a) That the Flintshire Disability Equality Scheme be approved; (b) That the actions contained within the Disability Equality Scheme as referred to in appendix 2 to the report be approved; (c) That the actions identified in paragraph 3.04 of the report as needed in the short term be noted and; (d) Ensure that robust systems were in place within each Directorate to implement and monitor the Disability Equality Scheme. 60. SINGLE STATUS CONSULTATION BUDGET A report of the Director of Corporate Strategy, copies of which have been previously circulated to Members was submitted. The Executive Member for Corporate Strategy presented the report the purpose of which was to reallocate £29K of the Corporate Single Status Consultation Budget (£72k) as set out in the report. The Executive Member reported that during the 2007/08 budget round a £72k one off budget bid was allocated to Corporate Finance to reimburse Departments for staff costs of Flintshire employees who would represent Trade Unions throughout the Single Status Project. She explained that the Council was now at a stage of the Project were it could make a more accurate assessment of the requirement and considered that £43k was sufficient. There were, however, other costs that could not have been foreseen at the costing stage of the project. Firstly, the cost of the project in schools which had not been part of the scope of the project at the outset. Secondly was the need to extend the existing contracts of job analysts and administration staff because of the delays in submission of job questionnaires across the authority. RESOLVED: (a) That the use of the 2007/08 budget to fund the project costs resulting from the inclusion of schools in the project (but not staff in back filled costs which were being separately funded) be approved; (b) That the use of 2007/08 budget to temporarily extend the contracts of job analysts and administration staff, be approved and; (c) That the budget be vired from Corporate Finance to Corporate Strategy to cover the corporate expenditure. - 378 - 5 61.

The Executive Member for Corporate Strategy presented the report the purpose of which was to obtain the approval of the Executive on the recommendations made by the Members Grant Panel for grants to the voluntary sector in 2007/08 in respect of the Development Grant – Round 2 and the Community Chest – Round 1. The Executive Member referred to the background to the establishment of both the Development Grants and Community Chest both of which were to support voluntary and community activity in Flintshire. The Members Grant Panel had considered 20 applications for funding from development grants and 8 applications were recommended for approval as set out in Section 3.01 of the report. 21 applications had been received for Community Chest consideration and 11 applications were recommended for approval as set out in Section 3.04 of the report.

The Executive Member for Corporate Governance, Customer Focus and Making the Connections presented the report the purpose of which was to approve a policy and procedure regulating the holding of stalls at County Hall. The Executive Member referred to the background to the report and that a small number of stalls were held on the Bridge Link at County Hall between noon and 2pm and for the stall holders to make a donation to the Chairman of the Council’s charities. She explained that on the transfer of the Civic Support function from Chief Executives to Democratic Services, Internal Audit had been asked to investigate and present a report with investigations to formalise the arrangements particularly in relation to the making of cash payments. This report had been concluded in April 2007 and one of the recommendations was that a policy on the arrangements for holding the stall should be approved by the Executive. A draft policy/procedure was circulated as an appendix to the report. RESOLVED: That the policy circulated as an appendix to the report be approved. - 379 - 6 63.

  • Deeside Plan
    DEESIDE PLAN FOREWORD Deeside is a story of phenomenal rebirth and success over the last thirty years. From a community reeling in shock from the devastating impact of job losses in the steel industry Deeside has reinvented itself as a national hub for advanced manufacturing, providing high quality employment not just locally but to people from across the region. Deeside is a major contributor to the economic prosperity of Flintshire and is one of the most important employment hubs in North Wales. The Deeside Plan articulates how the growth aspirations for North Wales and for the Mersey Dee area can be realised and, vitally, how they can be harnessed for the greatest benefit for local people. The potential for economic growth in Deeside is real and immediate; already new roads are being constructed to open access onto Northern Gateway, one of the largest development sites in the UK. Welsh Government is working closely with the council to plan and improve the transport network in and around Deeside, demonstrating the shared commitment to Deeside as a hub for growth. The inter-connected economic area in which Deeside sits is a great advantage, bringing a scale and diversity of employment, education and population that rivals many cities. Realising the potential of Deeside will also require inter-connected solutions with action needed across different sectors and across all levels of Government. Action will need to be sustained and will take long-term focus; the horizons for infrastructure investment are set over many years. The Deeside Plan provides an overarching framework to guide this action over the next thirty years.
