MINUTES OF THE OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY BOARD (OSB) 17th FEBURARY 2016 at 6.00 P.M
PRESENT: COUNCILLORS Councillor M. Dolling (Chair), Councillor Baker (Vice Chair) Councillor Rafiq (Vice Chair), Franks, Green, Hopkins, Keens, Malik, Moles and Roden PUBLIC ACTION 10. MINUTES (REF: 2.1) Resolved: That the minutes of the meeting held on 13th January 2016 be taken as a correct record and the chair be authorised to sign them.
11. CHAIR'S UPDATE (REF: 3)
The following updates were made:
The Asset Management Plan was a private and confidential document sent out in error and published on the website as a public document, which has now been removed. The presentation by the Service Director, Fixed Assets will be taken in private under Section 100A (4) of the Local Government Act 1972. Following the special OSB meeting on 2nd February 2016 the Police and Crime Commissioners sent a letter of apology to Councillor Franks regarding the Governments shift to give PCCs the responsibility to take over Fire and Rescue Services. Bedfordshire PCC now takes the view the suggestion is not completely off the agenda. Ofsted Inspection– the Chair was interviewed as Chair of the Children’s Services Review Group and will invite the Director of Children and Learning to report the outcome back to a future meeting once the final report is published. Recruitment of Social Workers Task and Finish Group – has been delayed due to the mini restructure of the Democracy Team and the forthcoming PCC elections. The Democracy and Scrutiny Team Leader will meet with Cllrs Hopkins and Green on Monday (22nd) to seek clarification for the Task and Finish Group, and an expression of interest email will be sent out to all non-executive members. The Equalities Objectives and Equality Charter – this item will be reported to the next meeting (24th March). Cllr Hopkins advised her amendments were passed to the Equalities and Diversity Manager to incorporate into the document.
Resolved: That the above updates be noted.

Israr Siddique, Corporate Senior Performance Analyst presented the report (Ref: 8) which requested the Board to make any comments to convey back to the Executive on 7th March 2016.
The following advise were given to the questions and comments raised by Members:
The reason for some indicators having no target set was due to figures being reported on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis. For example, the Decent Streets (Ref 1) target is set twice a year to coincide with surveys carried out. The last survey took place in January and the results of that will be reported in the Quarter 4 Performance report. The Board needs to decide how it wishes such indicators should be reported in the future. Some indicators figures were found to be an amalgamation across the quarters which were then repeated (e.g. Ref 7 – Net profit achieved through external trading). To make such indicators more meaningful in future reports they will have a supplementary dialogue and table to show the different areas with break downs.
Officers were in the process of developing the 2016/17 indicators to be drawn from a number of different sources such as the prospectus in terms of what works and what does not work and the Council’s priorities. Members will be consulted and have the opportunity to include indicators on things reported on during the year e.g. social workers and agency costs.
Public opinions on council services was measured historically through a general satisfaction survey through the citizens panel and Officers to explore this further.
Resolved: (i) That the Quarter 3 performance report be commended to the Executive meeting on 7th March 2016
(ii) That the number of children looked after per 10,000 population aged under 18 (Ref 23) be reported to a future meeting of the Children’s Services Review Group in more detail.
13. REVISED COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE (REF: 9) Bren McGowan, Partnership Manager presented the report (Ref 9) which requested comments on the draft revised corporate complaints procedure.
He advised the business intelligence review brought together staff dealing with complaints into one area. The council’s complaints procedure was currently a three stage process and where complainants remained dissatisfied they could then approach the Local Government Ombudsman.
Page 5 of 118 The draft complaints procedure reduces the three stage process down to two stages investigation and review which would allow Service departments to work towards a resolution outside of the corporate procedure. This was to allow the corporate procedure only to be issued for complaints which cannot be resolved informerly.
The following comments were made on the Draft Complaints Procedure: The Local Government Ombudsman (LGO) view is 12 weeks allows sufficient enough time for council’s to deal with a complaint. Under the current procedure complaints can take up to 20 weeks. The reduction advocated in the draft is in line with the LGO’s guidance by reducing to a two stage process which would ensure decisions are reviewed and provides sufficient safeguard to check that the response is appropriate and allow complainants speedier access to the LGO.
It was agreed to reduce from 3 to 2 stage complaints procedure.
The LGO guidance of a complaint is defined as “an expression of dissatisfaction about a council service (whether that service is provided directly by the council or by a contractor or partner) that requires a response. There is no difference between a ‘formal’ and an informal complaint. Both are expressions of dissatisfaction that require a response.”
The above definition was difficult to understand and the Officer to develop a more simpler worded definition.
To allow 20 working days ‘where operationally possible’ at both stages.
It was agreed to allow 20 days for each stage.
The proposal includes a discretionary statement which allows the council not to investigate at stage 2 but to refer the complainant to the LGO
Categorisation of complaints as many complaints may fall into multiple categories and officer may define similar complaints in different ways. In addition to this Housing and Community Living use ‘timeliness standards’
Issues which were not covered by the corporate complaints procedure. It was agreed for paragraph 12 to be removed.
Resolved: That the proposals as set out in the Draft Revised Complaints Procedure report (Ref: 9) be accepted.
14. OSB WORK PROGRAMME 2015/16 AND EXECUTIVE FORWARD PLAN (REF: 10)
Resolved: That the following item be added to the Work Programme: Adult Community Learning Self Assessment – Tom Molloy Page 6 of 118 (reported to 24th March 2016 meeting) Number of children looked after per 10,000 population aged under 18 – To be reported to the Children’s Service Review Group – Lee-Anne Farach, Service Director Specialist Family Support

AGENDA OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY BOARD ITEM: 7
DATE OF MEETING: 24TH MARCH 2016
REPORT AUTHOR: LISA JEROME (Democracy and Scrutiny Team Leader)

1. The purpose of this report is to invite the Board to consider the Call-In of Executive Decision Number: EX/41/16 Luton Cultural Services Trust Savings proposals.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
2. Overview and Scrutiny Board is recommended to consider the Called-in Decision of the Executive (EX/41/16) in relation to Luton Borough Council’s consideration of Luton Cultural Services Trust Savings proposals.
REPORT:
3. At the Executive meeting held on 7th March 2016, the Executive considered a report of the Head of Community Living entitled ‘’ Luton Cultural Services Trust - Savings Proposals”. The original Executive report is attached as Appendix A to this report.
4. The Executive decided as follows:

Subject: Luton Cultural Services Trust - Savings Consultations: (x) Proposals Councillors (For Executive Only) Scrutiny Lead Executive Member(s): Cllr Burnett Stakeholders Wards Affected: All Others
Recommendations 1. That Executive:
(i) acknowledges the notice served by Luton Cultural Services Trust (Luton Culture) outlining their intention to terminate their leases and return the following Community Centres to the Council as of the 31/07/2016:
a. Raynham Way Community Centre b. Bushmead Community Centre c. Limbury Community Centre d. Park Town Community Centre e. In addition Luton Culture gave notice of their intention to cease the arrangement to run the Community Halls at Marsh Farm Futures House.
(ii) Approves a full public consultation on the potential closure of the Community Centres named in the notice
(iii) Instructs the Service Director, Community Living to work with local communities, interested groups and other services to explore potential options for retaining some element of service at some of the affected centres, any such options must be cost neutral to the Council.
(iv) Instructs the Service Director, Community Living to report back to the Executive in July 2016, with the outcome of the consultation and the evaluation of options for the future use of the community centres.
(v) Authorise the entering into of a contract for service in respect of the statutory elements of the Library and Archive service with Luton Culture for a term of 5 years.
Background 2. In 2014 members agreed to transfer the operation of the 10 Community Centres to Luton Culture, with the management of the buildings also transferring via a series of leases, these leases contained a notice period of 6 months, allowing Luton Culture to “hand back” any buildings by serving notice on the Council of their intention to do so.
3. At the same time members agreed to close the Saints Community Centre to make a substantial revenue saving and realise a capital receipt, this building closed on the 01/04/2015 and is currently the subject of an Asset of Community Value nomination.
4. The Executive, acting in its role as shareholder of London Luton Airport Ltd (LLAL) at its meeting Page 10 of 118 on the 11th January 2016, supported the recommendations of the various Theme Leads in respect of charitable donations for 2016/17. These recommendations were commended for consideration by the Board of Directors of LLAL, which approved them at its meeting on 1st February 2016. In relation to Luton Culture the Theme Lead recommended reducing the donation by £500k in 2016/17 and a further £500k in 2017/18.
5. There is a risk that the funding through charitable donations of services that are of a statutory nature, such as the Library and Archive Service, might be considered to be ineligible for tax relief under the rules applying to Gift Aid. In order to manage this risk in the most practical and sensible way, LLAL has indicated that it will reduce its donation to Luton Culture by an appropriate amount (yet to be confirmed) with effect from 1st April 2016. LLAL will consequently increase the dividend payment to the Council to enable it to purchase the service directly from Luton Culture. The current position 6. Following the reduction in their donation the Board and Management of Luton Culture have been actively exploring options for cost savings so they can achieve a balanced budget.
7. Whilst some of the impacts of the donation reduction will be mitigated by organisational changes within Luton Culture, as part of their savings proposals Luton Culture have now given notice of their intention to return the above named Community Centres to the Council as of the 31/07/2016. In addition Luton Culture has also indicated that they would like the Council to work collaboratively with the Trust over the next 2 years to find an alternative operator for the Farley Community Centre.
8. As has previously been reported to the Executive successive reductions in the Fixed Assets repairs and maintenance budgets have made the ongoing repair on the Community Centre portfolio increasingly problematic.
9. Given that neither Community Living nor Fixed Assets have any budget set aside for the operation of these buildings, even in the short term, the Council does not have the money to continue to run these buildings once control of them is returned.
10. Officers will work throughout the consultation period with colleagues, community groups and the public to look at alternative running models.
11. Additionally Luton Culture has been made aware of the need to move to a contract for service in respect of the Statutory Library and Archive Services and negotiations on the terms and conditions of the new contract are on going. The new contract must be in place by the 1st April 2016 to ensure continuity of service. Luton Culture has advised that there will be no change to the existing library provision.
Goals and Objectives 12. To ensure a thorough and robust consultation is undertaken in relation to each of the named centres.
13. To agree a new contract for the Statutory Library and Archive Services
Proposal 14. To carry out a full public consultation on future options for the Centres with a view to closure if alternative models of operation cannot be agreed, any such options would need to be cost neutral for the Council.
15. To agree a new contract for the Statutory Library and Archive Services Key Risks 16. If the Council fails to consult appropriately there may be a risk of challenge to any future Page 11 of 118 decision.
17. Should any buildings close then any groups currently meeting there will have to find alternative premises, the experience from the closure of Saints Community Centre indicates that most groups will be able to do this without assistance. However, the Council may need to offer assistance
Consultations 18. A full public consultation will be undertaken, consisting of;
a. Meetings at the affected centres b. Questionnaires in paper and online c. Meetings with affected groups as necessary.
19. The Finance Review Group will be considering this report at its meeting on the 29th February 2016 and any recommendations will be reported to the Executive.

APPENDIX A - Integrated Impact Assessment Form (IIA) from June 2013
This form replaces the previous Integrated Impact Assessment form used by LBC. The key aim of an impact assessment is to ensure that all Council policies, plans and strategies support the corporate mission statement that
‘The needs of Luton’s people will be first in everything we do’.
1. Why do I need to do an IIA? The aim of this impact assessment process is to: Ensure adherence to the legal duties contained within the Equality Act 2010 and associated Public Sector Duty to analyse the impact of decisions to be undertaken by Council. Ensure the Council has due regard to equality taking a proportionate and timely approach to analysing the impact on citizens Minimise duplication of initial impact assessments with regards to Environment and Health and maximise consideration of other key Council priorities of Inclusion and Community Cohesion Ensure that the Council has been able to consider the social, health, environmental and economic impacts in its decision making in a single document and, where necessary enable the production of a comprehensive action plan to mitigate any potential negative impacts identified
2. When do I need to do an IIA?
An IIA must be started at the beginning of any project, policy or strategy, and cannot be finalised until such time as all consultations, as required, are undertaken.
The Impact Table will help you to make early consideration of the potential impacts of your proposal and should be used from the point at which preliminary report is taken to Corporate Leadership and Management Team (CLMT) where appropriate. By using this table at your earliest point in the project, potential impacts can be highlighted and it will also be clear whether you need to carry out a full IIA.
If you complete this table and all impacts identified are neutral, i.e. there is no noticeable impact on characteristics and priorities listed and you are fully confident of this, please contact the SJU by email setting out how you have reached this judgement as it is unlikely you will need to carry out a full IIA.
An IIA must at all times identify those who will be affected by the decision, policy or strategy.
At a time of economic austerity IIA authors are minded to consider the whole range of decisions, both locally and nationally when analysing the impact on citizens
Your first early draft is to be sent to the Social Justice Unit for comments and guidance
Once consultation has ended, the IIA must be updated with results of the consultation and returned to Executive, where required, for further consideration and approval – at this stage it will be signed off as completed by the Social Justice Unit
If at anytime you need further guidance please contact the Social Justice Unit. For your convenience, please see links at the end of this document to key Corporate and Partnership documents that may help you complete this IIA.

Please provide an outline of your proposal: Information supporting the proposal (who, what, where, how2)
**please note that this is an early/ pre –consultation draft**
Discussions have been ongoing with Luton Culture in relation to funding arrangements and how best they can respond to proposed reductions in current funding. The Cultural Trust is principally funded through a LLAL donation and has been set targets for a reduction of £500k for 2016/17 and £500k for 2017/18 against a donation of £4.754m.
Various different proposals have been considered by Luton Culture, with the current situation being that LCST have outlined their intention to terminate the leases on five Community Centres, relinquishing control and returning the buildings to LBC, as of August 2016. The following Community Centres have been suggested: Raynham Way Community Centre, Bushmead Community Centre, Limbury Community Centre, Park Town Community Centre and The running of the Community Halls at Futures House, Marsh Farm.

2 IIA From June 2013 Page 15 of 118
Herein follows a summary of headline impacts with regards to the aforementioned Community Centres.
Community Centres being handed back by LCST to LBC
Building Potential Impacts
Bushmead Overview – the centre sits within the Barnfield ward of Luton and principally provides Community halls for community activities, as well as providing a nursery and a satellite hub for Centre the NHS Musculo-Skeletal Service. It has one other local comparative community facility, which is the Church based directly next door, Bushmead Christchurch.
The Centre has a large main hall with a kitchen and several other rooms that are available for hire. The centre has ample parking and is able to cater for medium to large groups of people. The centre receives 37K visits per annum
Activities held at the centre include the following: Bushmead Pre School (term time) Building Blocks Stay & Play Yoga Box Fit (Circuit Training) Luton Model Boat Club (2nd Monday) Luton & District Historical Society (3rd Monday) Councillor’s Surgery (Fortnightly) NHS Physiotherapy (appointment only) Pilates Karate (Ko Jo Club) Zumba Foster Carers (Monthly) 50+ Short Mat Bowls Weightwatchers Bushmead Junior Youth Club (term time) Playschemes (during holiday time)
Expected impacted groups: Any closure would have an impact on particularly young children and parents, due to the current provision. Older people and those taking part in the various sport and physical activities may be impacted unless the groups could be re located in another community, faith or leisure centre.
A dialogue with the Church next door would need to take place to consider if all or any activity could be re-provided from this location, which would mitigate against some of the potential impacts.
3 IIA From June 2013 Page 16 of 118
Building Potential Impacts Futures Futures House is a relatively new building and is also situated in area of greater House deprivation in the town – particularly for young children. Luton Culture operate the (Halls only) Community Halls based within Futures House, with lease arrangements in place via LBC. The community halls host bookings for a range of community and social activities. There are several other services based within the wider centre such as LBC (Children and Learning) and the NHS, whilst the centre itself sits in a very high area of deprivation.
The Centre has three large main halls that open out into one big space, with a kitchen available for hire. The centre has ample parking and is able to cater for medium to large groups of people. The centre receives 33K visits per annum
Activities held at the centre include the following: Manor Scouts Pole Fitness Pilates Sundon Park Arts Shah Jalal Islamic Foundation Prayers Limbury 50+ Social Group Slimming World Sundon Park Arts PCT Baby Health Clinic Redgrave Chatter babies Credit Union Futures 50+ Club Sangam Women’s Group Exercise - Keep Fit Councillors Surgery (1st & 3rd Saturday monthly) Art Workshop - Ad hoc
It is expected that Futures Halls will still continue to be operated in the same format by Marsh Farm Futures. The impact is therefore considered to be very little to service users. A dialogue with MFF will take place to ensure continuation of services
Building Potential Impacts Limbury Located in the Limbury Ward, the centre is mainly used for children’s activities. It has Community an adjoining parks pavilion, used for park sports. The Centre has two relatively close Centre buildings that host similar activities (Grasmere and Redgrave Children’s Centres)
The centre receives 6.5K visits per annum
Activities held at the centre include the following: Children’s Centre activities 10-12. Monday and Friday
4 IIA From June 2013 Page 17 of 118
First steps nursery – every day
Expected impacted groups: Any closure would have an impact on particularly young children and parents, due to the current provision. It’s likely that the current services could be re-provided from either Redgrave or Grasmere Children’s Centres, which under within under 0.5 miles distance of the centre.
A dialogue with LBC C&L will take place to ensure continuation of services.
Building Potential Impacts Park Town The centre sits within the South ward of Luton and principally provides space for Community children’s centre activities and hall hire/ community activities. It has two other and comparative community facility based locally (Chapel Street Nursery and ABC Children’s Children’s Centre in the Mall) and sits within a high level of deprivation. The Centre Centre has a main hall with a kitchen and two smaller rooms.
The centre receives 34K visits per annum
Activities held at the centre include the following: Park Town Pre-school Sing and Sign Drop In Baby Feeding and Tongue Tie Clinic Embroidery Sewing Group Food Bank 0-5 Stay and Play Stick Fighting Child Health checks Carers Drop-in Drop-in Health Clinic Messy Time Junior Youth Club Little Chatterboxes Cocaine Anonymous Ju-Jitsu (Adult and Junior) Kids Klub Councillors Surgery Church Group
Pending the outcome of the Children’s Centre review, It is expected that will still continue to be operated in the same format by the Pre-school learning Alliance. The impact is therefore considered to be very little to service users. A dialogue with MFF will take place to ensure continuation of services.
Should this not be achieved, there will be significant impacts on local children, young people and families – if the services cannot be moved to one of the other local Children’s Centre’s (within a 1mile catchment)
5 IIA From June 2013 Page 18 of 118
Building Potential Impacts Raynham Overview – the centre sits within the Wigmore ward of Luton and principally provides Way space for hall hire community activities – mainly for older people’s activities. It also Community has a preschool onsite who in the process of moving to a new location. It has no Centre other local comparative community facility based locally. The Centre has a large main hall with a kitchen. The centre has ample parking and is able to cater for medium to large groups of people.
The centre receives 43K visits per annum
Activities held at the centre include the following:
50+ Bowls U3A Table Tennis Pre School (moving to Wigmore Primary School) Flexercise (exercise Class for 50+) Youth Club Zumba Bujikan Dojo (Martial Arts) Saheth (Hindi Community Group) Tai Chi (Gentle stretching & Relaxation exercise class) Ballet and Tap
Impacted Groups: Older people would be impacted by closure of this centre as they form the principle user group. The short mat bowls is a particularly popular activity and has five sessions per week. Whilst there is no local similar facility, discussions would need to take place with local schools and faith centres to establish what provision could be accommodated.

Luton Adult Learning Vision:
Luton Adult Learning – empowering individuals, improving communities
Mission Statement:
To make Luton Adult Learning accessible and relevant while being an enjoyable and stimulating experience for all of Luton’s citizens and communities. To support the needs of who find it difficult to pay for learning with free or low cost learning which contributes to Luton Borough Council’s Investment Framework: to increase income from business growth to better equip residents of all ages to get jobs, through investment in education and training to work efficiently with partners to ensure the most vulnerable people in Luton are safe and supported.
Introduction
Luton is a large town with a population in excess of 200,000. It has a population that is made of a variety of ethnic groups and suffers from a number of wards which have high levels of deprivation.
The 2011 Census identified that 44.6% of the population are White British, 29.9% Asian, 9.8% Black African/Caribbean with the rest being made up a number of different groups, many from Eastern Europe. 25% of the population do not have English as their first language and as a result there is a high demand for ESOL. On top this, 23.6% of the population have no qualifications and only 14.6% have achieved a qualification at level 1. Unemployment is 2% higher than the regional average which is at 5.7%. 38.4% of the population lives in social or rented housing.
It is this context of economic deprivation, low skills and a large number of non-English speakers, the Service aims to use Luton Borough Council’s Skills Funding Agency and other funds so they have the greatest possible positive impact on Luton’s citizens.
Luton Adult Learning (the Service) is committed to providing a broad range of Adult Learning activities that responds to community need; to offer enrichment, progression and development in the support of individuals, their families, their neighbourhoods, local organisations and the wider community.
The Service understands the importance of maximising access to learning for adults, bringing new opportunities, independence and autonomy to improving lives, whatever people’s circumstances.
The Service, as part of the Local Authority, also strives to promote social renewal by bringing local communities together to experience the joy of learning and the pride that comes with achievement, in order to inspire ownership and mobilise positive community change, respect and inclusion.
As a provider we understand the impact of Adult Learning on the social and economic well-being of individuals, families and communities and hope that through sustaining and building on our links,
Page 29 of 118 P a g e | 2 working with and alongside our communities, we can achieve our objectives set out later in this paper.
These objectives are based on the Government’s latest set of Skills’ policies which can be seen in the governments Skills Funding Letter 2015-16 and Apprenticeships 2020. These document makes detailed proposals for adult learning and apprentices which have guided the Service’s planning and approach.
The Service has been at the forefront of this initiative, both locally and nationally, and has acted as the lead organisation in the formation of one of only fifteen pilot Community Learning Trusts and one of the Community Learning Mental Health pilots.

. Improve levels of adult English (including ESOL) and Maths in Luton . Create opportunities for adults to support their children’s learning and development . Maximises the impact of LBC’s SFA grant and deliver value for money through the principles of ‘Pound Plus’
Target learners and organisations:
. Those adults least likely to be involved in learning . Learners residing in areas of deprivation . Learners with disabilities, both physical and learning, and individuals with mental health difficulties . The unemployed, under-employed and economically inactive . Adults without a full Level 2 qualification . Learners with an ESOL need . Offenders and their families . Families at risk . Male learners . Organisations supporting volunteers . Third sector organisations . Public Sector organisations and departments . Local businesses
How Luton Adult Learning will do this:
It will develop courses and apprenticeship programmes in line with the Investment Framework that meet the needs of Luton’s citizens and employers ensuring that the funds it receives are used to the greatest possible effect. It will work with industries and in sectors that have been identified by Luton Borough Council and its Local Enterprise Partnership (SEMLEP) to ensure that it assists in closing skills gaps and shortages. It will work closely with employers so they are able to access the learning and the training that helps them grow and employ more people.
The Service will continue to deliver a high quality Apprenticeship programme that meet the needs of Luton’s employers. It will look to develop systems that enable these to benefit from the value apprentices bring in response to the introduction of the government’s Apprenticeship Levy and other policy changes.
The Service will support community capacity building in a number of ways. The sharing of funds with community based organisations sustains and builds capacity within those organisations. The Service will support the development of organisations it works with by training their staff and volunteers in initial teacher training, safeguarding and other relevant CPD.
Develop a programme of full cost courses that will generate income to help improve learning opportunities for those most disadvantaged.
Luton Adult Learning is fully committed to ensuring that its learners are equipped with maths and English, including ESOL, to provide them with the essential knowledge, skills and understanding that will enable them to operate confidently, effectively and independently in life and work. These skills
Page 31 of 118 P a g e | 4 are seen as essential skills for progression into either employment or further/higher education leading to improved employment opportunities.
It will support learners attain higher levels in maths and English (including ESOL) by using Community Learning funding to provide ‘First Steps’ provision. These courses are to ensure that learners have the right skills, commitment and understanding to progress onto qualifications funded through the Adult Skills Budget. These courses will be between 10 and 20 hours and provide preparation to accredited learning, build learners’ confidence and offer a taster of accredited courses that learners could progress onto.
It will also offer community ESOL provision that compliments the existing fundable ESOL provision and clearly reaches those who would not normally access through other routes such as colleges and DWP, ESF and our own accredited provision
Family Learning helps develop and support a learning culture, helps parents/guardians support their children and aims to improve the levels of maths, English and language development in Luton. All of the Service’s Family Learning is planned and linked with Luton schools, children centres and other local voluntary providers. It supports the notion of intergenerational learning to help break the cycle of a lack of skills within the family. It is also intended as a steppingstone for progression to other English, Maths, ESOL, and / or vocational learning.
LBC is one of 61 providers nationally who were successfully awarded additional funding of £80k to work with local mental health partners to pilot short, part-time community learning courses. The aim is to test the effectiveness of targeted adult education courses in supporting recovery from mild to moderate mental health problems.

Overall Effectiveness is good.
Luton Adult Learning has the following strengths: Learners successfully achieve a broad range of personal learning objectives; they gain qualifications, new skills and the self-confidence to lead more fulfilling lives and to help overcome isolation within their local communities The good teaching, learning and assessment help learners to develop employability skills that prepare them well for progression to further study, voluntary work and jobs; the focus on improving learners’ mathematics skills is particularly effective
Page 32 of 118 P a g e | 5
The successful use of information learning technology (ILT) in lessons gives learners the confidence to develop their independent learning skills, particularly those who are new to education or returning to it after a long break from learning Learners, many of whom have complex lives and face significant barriers to learning, receive excellent support to complete courses and to achieve qualifications; those with identified learning difficulties and/or disabilities achieve very successfully Productive partnerships with a wide range of local organisations ensure that Luton Borough Council (Luton Adult Learning) (the service) is flexible and responsive in offering a diverse range of education and training courses that enhance the skills of local communities, different groups of learners and large and small employers. Excellent Apprenticeship programme with good recruitment, employer links, high levels of success and outstanding learner progression into paid employment. Good success rates on classroom based qualification programmes and achievement on community learning programmes Apprentice Steps programme that offers fully integrated learning and work package for learners with Learning Difficulties Good governance of the service Effective information, advice and guidance across the service which enables learners to get onto the right course and make informed decisions about their next steps. Develops provision to meet the needs of local learners and the local economy supporting the councils strategic plans for the area Strong performance management and effective staff development lead to specific improvements in the quality of teachers’ practice in the classroom which has resulted in improvement in learner outcomes and success. Good and effective use of ALS/DLSF leading to good success for these learners Managers and staff actively promote equality and diversity, and a strong ethos of inclusion through the curriculum Male learners’ success rates have increased significantly and there is now no gap between genders on Adult Skills courses.
Luton Adult Learning requires improvement in the following areas: Continue to improve the quality of teaching, learning and assessment as insufficient amount is outstanding. Review individual learning plans to check whether these set challenging targets aimed at extending learners’ knowledge and skills. Combine this with closer monitoring of the quality of written feedback to learners so they know how they can improve their work further. Develop further the frequent and systematic monitoring of teachers’ classroom practices so that managers know where best to focus their quality assurance activities to bring about further improvements in teaching and learning. Improve its recruitment of English and maths teachers. The Service needs to improve learner involvement/voice activities and engagement. Increasing male participation as the proportion of learners who are male remains low at 25%.

SAR 2014-15: Overview of Provision Introduction
Luton Borough Council’s Adult Learning Service is the largest provider in Luton of Community Learning. This includes a large Family Learning programme and also provides a large number of Apprenticeships which have outperformed other local providers.
As well as these it also offers skills courses for adults including a large number for ESOL learners. These are funded through grants from the Skills Funding Agency. The Service also provides face to face careers advice under the banner of the National Careers Service and is a sub-contractor to Futures, the regional prime.
The priority areas of activity in 2014-15 were determined by local need and national policy. The strategic goal that the Service was set by Luton Borough Council was to contribute to its three point plan which is:
To increase income from business growth To better equip residents of all ages to get jobs through investment in education and training To work efficiently with all the organisations mentioned above to ensure the most vulnerable in Luton are safe and supported.
To help achieve the Service focused on:
Apprenticeships for 16-18 year olds and adults. ESOL provision delivered intensively for Job Centre Plus customers. Qualification programmes for adult learners, with a particular emphasis on people who are unemployed. Community learning programmes: that focused on widening participation, neighbourhood governance, volunteering, Family Learning and programmes that support health and wellbeing in vulnerable groups. Provide high quality, effective and impartial careers advice.

Strengths
Overall success has increased for a third successive year. Outstanding improvement in GCSE English results - 100% achievement of which 81% was A*- C. Outstanding improvement in GCSE Maths results - 100% achievement of which 86% was A*- C. Apprenticeship success remains significantly higher than the national average, despite a slight fall, and this has been achieved while working with significantly more employers and engaging with harder to reach learners such as care leavers. ESOL success remains high at 81% and this is despite the vast majority of learners in this area having significant barriers and being initially assessed at pre-entry or entry level. The service supports particularly vulnerable communities within Luton and equips residents of all ages to improve their employment prospects through investing in education and training. The largest subject area is community learning, consisting of projects and workshops for hard-to-reach communities and groups. Outstanding work outcome for learners who complete an apprenticeship with the service with 81% progressing into paid employment.
Page 35 of 118 P a g e | 8
Significantly improved destination data showing good outcomes, 71% Adult Skills learners tracked with 31% progressing to paid employment and 18% to higher learning. Success rates for learners vocational NVQs remain high, particularly given the challenging personal circumstances many of the learners face in attempting to achieve these qualifications successfully. The vast majority of learners make at least the progress that would be expected of them based on their starting points, with many being able to make positive changes in their lives as a result of the learning they have completed. No significant difference in success rates of learners from different ethnic groups
Areas for Improvement Success rates for English Functional Skills at level 2 have dropped significantly (but remain above the national average) and work needs to be done to improve these success rates. Despite remaining above national benchmarks success rates for apprenticeships and adult skills provision have dropped slightly and this needs to be reversed. Destination data shows that while a significant number of learners progress into paid employment this is not the case for female ESOL learners from the South Asians communities where progression for this cohort into employment is significantly lower than other learners from other backgrounds.
Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good
Strengths
25% of teaching is graded Outstanding and 65% Good at observation. Teachers plan lessons thoroughly so that learners with different levels of ability and experiences learn well together. Teachers and assessors use a wide range of stimulating and innovative activities in their teaching, supported by good quality resources. Learners learn to use mobile technology, such as laptops, tablet computers and mobile telephones to research and capture information. Teachers are well qualified and experienced; they ensure that lessons are lively and engaging and that learners participate enthusiastically. Learning is enhanced through the effective use of learning support assistants and classroom volunteers. Teachers are adept at encouraging learners to support one another well. Feedback from learners about their teaching and learning is very positive. Learners said: o “The members of staff at Luton Adult Learning have all been excellent. I have had all the support I could ask for and have been motivated to complete work and learn new skills” o “The main strengths of Luton Adult Learning are : - support - encouragement - welcoming” o “There are many strengths of Luton Adult Learning, the obvious one being the support provided all times and guidance to a future career path”. Leaders and managers place a high priority on the improvement of teaching and learning through the lesson observation process and through the professional development of staff. The assessment of learners’ skills before they start an ASB course is rigorous and effective in ensuring that learners join the most appropriate courses at the right level. All teachers
Page 36 of 118 P a g e | 9
delivering on qualification courses have been introduced to and trained in using BKSB and are skilled in undertaking initial assessment and in interpreting the results effectively. Lessons take place across a wide range of community venues in the town, most are attractive and well-resourced facilities. The majority of main classrooms are equipped with appropriate learning technology. All teaching and learning venues are checked and monitored to ensure ‘fit for purpose.’ Staff promote cultural diversity well both in lessons and around community venues. Most tutors successfully incorporate material into their lessons that helps prepare learners to understand the cultural diversity they will encounter in their social lives and British society. Learners and apprentices have a good level of respect for each other’s differences and for different cultures. In the majority of lessons, tutors make the most of opportunities available.
Areas for Improvement The Service needs to increase the amount of teaching, learning and assessment that is outstanding. Procedures to check the quality of teaching and learning are in their infancy and require improvement to ensure that managers have an accurate and up-to-date view of the standards of classroom practice and the actions required to develop teachers’ skills further Target-setting and the quality of written feedback to learners on ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) courses to help them achieve their full potential require improvement The service needs to continue to develop the mathematics and English skills of all learners by ensuring that it becomes a norm for teachers to embed it into all teaching and learning and capitalise on naturally-occurring opportunities in classes to enhance the learners’ skills.
Effectiveness of leadership and management
The Effectiveness of Leadership and Management is Good.
Strengths Partnership working is particularly strong. Managers work closely with specialist local providers and voluntary agencies to develop innovative and successful initiatives and projects. These include bespoke educational and skills building courses, as well as programmes that enable learners to re-engage with the community and with employment. Managers work closely with the Luton and Bedfordshire Community Learning Trust and the South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership to develop community projects that respond very effectively to local needs. Strategic planning aligns well to the borough council’s priorities for promoting economic growth and sustainability. Managers plan and review the curriculum effectively to ensure it matches closely to the needs of the community. Leaders ensure that the provision is particularly effective in meeting the needs of those in the economically deprived wards of the county, and those from communities generally under-represented in education and training. Leaders and managers analyse success rate data effectively and monitor learners’ achievements closely. Teachers and other staff receive a good range of accessible data
Page 37 of 118 P a g e | 10
reports that allow them to monitor effectively the progress and achievement of their learners, and to compare performance between learner groups over time. The flexible commissioning model used to subcontract the provision to a wide variety of organisations ensures that the courses available to the learners are readily accessible in the areas of highest deprivation or concentration of groups in most need. Excellent partnership work with employers who provide positive feedback and they have said: o “Luton Adult Learning was recommended to me by other schools, and they proved to be very useful, meeting all our needs.” o “Active Luton has a special relationship with Luton Adult Learning and the partnership working relationship that has developed is based on mutual respect and professionalism which has developed over a number of years. We are able to work together for the benefit of the community as our areas of expertise complement one another and the trust we have for one another's judgements and viewpoints has cemented this working relationship” The service’s strategy is closely aligned to the council’s priorities to improve skills for employment and promote economic growth in the town. Senior managers and elected members in the council provide effective support for the service and contribute significantly to its strategic direction.
The governance of the provider: Elected council members provide appropriate oversight and scrutiny of service operation. In association with LBC leadership, elected council members ensure continued links between the council’s strategic priorities and the planning of the curriculum to meet local and national priorities. Council members provide effective oversight of service finances.
Areas for Improvement The service needs to improve the range of opportunities for learners and stakeholders to give their views about the quality of provision. Managers have not always integrated sufficiently the quality improvement measures identified after an OTLA in a timely fashion.
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective:
Safeguarding is effective. Leaders, managers and staff work effectively to ensure that vulnerable learners are safe and able to thrive. All staff who have routine or frequent contact with vulnerable learners are appropriately checked, and tutors receive frequent training on safeguarding and safe working. Tutors and managers share a clear commitment to ensuring that all learners have the best opportunity to progress and develop skills in a tolerant, open and inclusive environment.
A good range of steps have been taken by managers to promote the Prevent agenda and meet service duties under counter-terrorist legislation. Three of the management team became Home
Page 38 of 118 P a g e | 11
Office approved trainers so they could ensure that all staff receive WRAP training. All active* staff have successfully completed the training. This has enabled them to identify and refer those who are at immediate risk of radicalisation or engagement in extremist activity.
*Non active staff either long term sick or on maternity leave.
Personal development, behaviour and welfare is good
Overwhelmingly, learners are positive about their learning at LAL. Most learners develop high levels of confidence and self-belief in their own achievements. This is particularly so for learners on employability, family learning and ESOL courses and on apprenticeships. The majority of learners significantly exceed the skills they expect to develop at the start of their course. Apprentices benefit from improving their confidence in the working environment from the effective development of assertiveness and team working skills. A significant number of staff have completed Mental Health First Aid which has improved the support that can be offered to learners Learners gain in confidence through their courses and build positive relationships with other members of their community. The majority of adults engage well in their learning activities and support each other to overcome personal and learning problems. Apprentices have excellent support provided by a team of Case Load Officers who provide one to one pastoral support and progress tracking. Learners have good access to independent careers advice and guidance through the well- established relationships that the service has with a range of partners such as National Careers Service. Learners have a good awareness about how the courses they are currently following, and those they could progress to, will improve their chances of finding new or improved employment. Classrooms and communal areas are well maintained, tidy and enlivened by appropriate displays and information. Learners value the facilities and treat them with respect.
Areas for Improvement
The attendance of a minority of learners requires improvement. Opportunities to embed British Values are not always taken and some work is required to help teachers in this area.

This is the first of two interim reports to inform you of your organisation’s survey responses. This report includes additional tabs generated by linking the survey responses to the Individualised Learner Record (ILR R04).
Guidance to take you through your indicative report can be accessed from the same section on the Provider Extranet where you opened this report. We recommend that you read the Guidance alongside the report.
The Guidance will explain in more detail how: • The 'Scores by Subject' tab summarises the Learner Satisfaction rating given by learners according to their main sector subject area (defined as the sector subject area that accounts for at least 80% of their learning. Apprentices have been included using the Apprenticeship Framework to identify the sector subject area.)
• The ‘Scores by Apprenticeships’ tab summarises the satisfaction rating given by apprentices broken down by age and subject.
• The ‘Scores by Sub-Contractor’ tab shows the satisfaction ratings for learners attending one of your sub-contractors. The five sub-contractors that had the largest number of responses to the survey for your organisation are included in your results.
Your organisation’s data presented in the report is unweighted for age, gender and level of study. For this report shared with you in February, the learner breakdown has been established from your learners' responses. Return 4 (R04) for the ILR has been used to check your learners' selections of their level of study.
The indicative results may change to the final FE Choices Learner Satisfaction Survey 2015 to 2016 published data. The data are for your information only and should not be published outside of your organisation.

AGENDA ITEM OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY BOARD
10
DATE OF MEETING: 24th March 2016
REPORT AUTHOR: Liz Bailey, Team Manager, Food, Safety & Environment
SUBJECT: Declaration of Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) and amendment to existing AQMA
PURPOSE:
1. Air Quality monitoring in the Borough has revealed that concentrations of nitrogen dioxide in the vicinity of Stuart Street and Dunstable Road (affecting parts of Biscot, Dallow and South Wards) are above the objective level as required by the Air Quality (England) Regulations 2010. The Council are therefore legally required to declare an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA)
RECOMMENDATIONS:
2. The Overview and Scrutiny Board is asked to note the contents of this report and agree any recommendations for inclusion in the report to the 18th April 2016 Executive meeting.
REPORT:
3. Luton Borough Council is required to follow the process of Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) as set out under Part IV of the Environment Act 1995. LAQM requires Council’s to review and assess air quality in order to identify any areas where elevated concentrations result in people being exposed to poor air.
4. An exceedance for nitrogen dioxide was identified on Dunstable Road. Monitoring showed that concentrations at the façade of residential properties were 54 µg/m3, 14 µg/m3 above the objective concentration of 40 µg/m3. As a result, an air quality consultant was commissioned to undertake a Detailed Assessment of the area concerned. This report has been published on the Council website at http://www.luton.gov.uk/Environment/Environmental%20health/Air_pollution_2/Air%2 0Quality/pages/Pollution%20control%20-%20air_2.aspx
5. The detailed assessment revealed that a significant length of the A505, a section of the A6, a section of Dallow Road, a section of Castle Street and a number of other
Page 90 of 118 properties on the adjoining side streets are considered to have elevated concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (See Appendix 1), and as such, people will be exposed to poor air quality.
6. Following DEFRA’s approval of the Detailed Assessment, the LAQM process requires the Council to declare and Air Quality Management Area (AQMA). It is standard practice for Local Authorities to declare AQMAs based on a modelled contour of a 36 µg/m3 nitrogen dioxide concentration. This precautionary approach ensures that any inaccuracies due to the monitoring method used (diffusion tubes have a +/- 20% accuracy) have been allowed for, and that public health is protected.
Declaration Process
7. The Food, Safety and Environment Team have identified the properties which have all or part of their curtilage within the 36 µg/m3 zone of the exceedance for nitrogen dioxide (see shaded area of Appendix 2). The zone covers parts of Biscot, Dallow and South Wards.
8. The Council is required to consult with relevant persons affected and interested parties. The 8 week consultation process is nearing completion to invite comments on the proposal. The consultation dates are 22nd January to 18th March 2016. Comments received to date are at Appendix 3.
9. A request to formally declare and Air Quality Management Area and the sealing of the relevant Order will be presented to Executive on 18th April 2016
Following the Declaration
10. Following declaration, the Council will consult with it’s partners to produce an Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) that includes appropriate actions to bring about a reduction of nitrogen dioxide concentrations in both the new and existing AQMA’s, in order to provide protection to the health of local residents.
11. The AQAP will be sent to DEFRA for approval and comment.
12. All interested parties will then work together to ensure that the actions outlined in the AQAP are delivered, with Environmental Health continuing to measure concentrations of particulates and nitrogen dioxide at chosen locations across the Borough.
13. An annual report will be submitted to DEFRA which reports on the progress of the actions identified in the AQAP together with the latest results of the monitoring.
14. All reports will be published on the Council’s website following receipt of satisfactory approval from DEFRA
Additional: Amendment to existing AQMA
15. Luton Borough Council declared it’s first AQMA in 2003, covering 24 residential properties.
Page 91 of 118 16. Following further assessment of this AQMA, it was extended in 2005 to cover a total of 431 residential properties. A new AQMA (2) was declared including the 24 properties with the exception of 1 (78 Halfway Avenue) which was omitted in error (see Appendix 4)
17. In order to simplify the records regarding declarations in the vicinity of the M1 Motorway, it is proposed that the property presently omitted from AQMA 2 is added by an amendment, and AQMA 1 is revoked.
18. DEFRA have been consulted regarding this amendment and this will be undertaken in accordance with guidance received by them to ensure the relevant legal requirements are met.
19. Elected members in the affected ward (Challney) will be consulted as appropriate.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Non compliance with statutory requirements to declare the identified Air Quality Management Area could result in legal challenges to the Council by DEFRA
LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
It is a legal requirement that the Council follows the process of Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) as set out under Part IV of the Environment Act 1995, and that an Order is sealed to declare the identified AQMA.

Consultation responses received to date
Declaration of Air Quality Management in the Stuart Street, Dunstable Road and Surrounding Area Residents & Stakeholder Consultation
Interim Results Summary: 21 responses
Q1 Are you? please select one response only 3 (14%) a resident living in the area identified on the map as affected 1 (5%) a business operating in the area identified on the map as being affected 16 (76%) a resident of Luton living outside of the affected area 1 (5%) other stakeholder Other stakeholder - please specify 1 response: Environment Agency
Q2 Do you have any issues/concerns about air quality in the Stuart Street, Dunstable Road and surrounding area that has been identified on the map as being affected? please select one response only 11 (52%) yes 7 (33%) no 3 (14%) don't know/not sure If yes, please tell us about your key issues/concerns (max 1000 characters) 12 responses Traffic seems slower and more of it over recent months. often queues tailing back from Cardiff Road traffic lights along Stuart Street. - this must produce more pollution than before.
The likely cause of air quality problems is queuing traffic. Therefore, the resolution is to identify the root causes of queuing traffic and help it to flow more freely. This will include more mini roundabouts, less traffic lights, phasing of traffic lights to maximise throughput, and removal of pedestrianisation.
I reside just outside the nominate area;The area should have included that covered by all of Park Street, Cutenhoe Road and London Road.
It is a danger to the health of people living in and passing through the area.
I do not live in the area but it can be unpleasant to pass through. For the most part, wind disperses most of the noticeable effects of pollution but, when there is no wind, the residual smell
Page 95 of 118 of diesel exhaust lingers often with a smell normally attributed to paraffin which arises from unburnt diesel fuel emitted as black exhaust smoke. Many of the buses passing via Bury Park emit black smoke under engine stress, especially the older models. This usually indicates loss of engine compression or insufficient temperature in the cylinder to burn the mixture at 22:1 compression. This can be mitigated by top cylinder work and hotter running glow plugs. A better solution is to insist on Euro 6 compliance for all buses and HGVs in the area shown on the AQMA map. Leaving aside the recent controversy about whether VW diesels actually comply with the law, a reduction in private car passenger traffic in the AQMA and slowing its speed would be of assistance. As it is the amount of traffic in the area that has been identified as the cause, that also poses road safety issues which I have noticed is a problem. Vehicles queuing for car parks for example in Silver Street with engines ticking over also emit exhausts which are noticeable in the air.
I use and cross the area under consideration as a pedestrian regularly so am concerned about the air quality and its effect on my health.
Concerns for myself and my family's health. Office buildings being turned into more residential accommodation.
Long levels of congestion from vehicles constantly on bury park road
Yes we would like it to be improved. It is estimated that fine particles have an impact on mortality equivalent to around 4,200 deaths in London per year and a cost to society of £122,063 p/tonne, p/hectare, p/year (at the central range- see https://www.gov.uk/guidance/air-quality-economic- analysis).
My breathing has suffered for many years while working in this area, close to the traffic lights, where traffic is stationery for a period of time.
Certainly busy area with problems when traffic is held up especially on Stuart St
I am concerned about the risks to health in the area concerned, particularly for those who live and work in the area.
Q3 Do you have any suggestions on how air quality could be improved in this area? please explain (max 1000 characters) 15 responses No, but it must remain a dual carriageway (Stuart St) as it is a key arterial route through the town centre.
Air quality is important to living healthy life. I think the environmental section from the Luton council, regional and central government must make the businesses, residents and other stakeholders comply with law.
is road signage showing alternative routes adequate?
The likely cause of air quality problems is queuing traffic. Therefore, the resolution is to identify the root causes of queuing traffic and help it to flow more freely. This will include more mini
Page 96 of 118 roundabouts, less traffic lights, phasing of traffic lights to maximise throughput, and removal of pedestrianisation.
1. Speed limits. 2. Better traffic flows
Plant more trees, London Plane trees are planted across London as they are very effective at removing pollution.
Regretfully no
Encourage people away from cars and improve traffic flow
Please see my earlier reply on the issues. Cutting private car journeys in the area would help. Timing deliveries by HGVs and vans to less congested times of day would help. In London, a green zone was established where vehicles had to comply with a certain exhaust standard to be allowed in. Nor should a congestion charge be overlooked to raise both revenue to cover the cost of air filtration, subsidise public transport and provide a disincentive to bring cars into the town centre. Cutting bus fares might also help as would park and ride from the periphery of the Borough. Strict and rigid enforcement of evidently, visibly illegal exhaust emissions should be added to the powers of traffic wardens and PCSOs and used. Random testing of emissions, especially in very hot weather, should be carried out with roadside equipment even if the vehicle has a valid MoT. Of course, vehicles should be monitored by ANPR on entering and leaving the AQMA. Any without an MoT should be confiscated and, if the smoke emissions do not pass the test, the driver jailed.
Limiting vehicles that use the area to those that do not emit NO2 unless the have to visit the area.
Our suggestions below based on our experience working with London Boroughs and improvements with waste sites would not only help the area affected here in Luton 'recover' from the designation of being declared an AQMA., but some of the suggestions would also help with attitude change of the public, management of the AQMA and resource management. We are suggesting the implementation of: ULEZ (ultra-low emission zone) principles. Principles of the ULEZ will help LBC manage, administer, enforce and educate the proposed AQMA. No idling zones- you can apply for funds available for signage and promotion of this concept Enforcement/ deterrent- £50 on the fixed penalty notices for idling. Bus and private transport reform- Bus fleet retrofitted with cleaner technology, or new fleet must meet euro 6 emission standards in place by 2017 - Age limits for taxis and all must meet euro 6 engine compliance Non Road going Mobile Machinery and diesel generator limits (current tier 3b) for construction and demolition sites or other developments, including road works Road works consideration. scheduled for non-peak/ out of hours work) to alleviate issues during the operational day A review of the traffic flow to reduce idling, improve efficiency and future road works that impede flow Impose section 106 agreements in planning to monitor for particulates and NOx for new developments. Update planning policy guidelines to limit Small and Medium combustion plants being developed in that area for commercial and residential heating Encourage cycling, (possibly a Boris bike scheme), park and ride, communicate other means of transport around the area. See if the 'cycle to work' scheme can be promoted in town centre businesses, Communicate, educate and promote healthy living and the dangers of poor air
Page 97 of 118 quality.
Get traffic to switch off their engines? or speed up the frequency that the lights change
Obvious way is some restriction on heavy traffic, but this would only push it onto neighbouring streets, with more housing. Traffic management to reduce hold ups (more no right turn junctions, disentangle the double roundabout Stuart St/Dunstable Road, etc.).
Reduce the nitrogen dioxide levels by restricting traffic especially commercial vehicles by some form of congestion charge as I believe traffic will get worse and the affected areas will spread.
Improvement will only come from reduced emissions and the only local action that could be taken is a long term strategy to reduce the traffic in that area and to increase the average speed of vehicles.
Q4 Do you have any other comments on this matter? please explain (max 1000 characters) 13 responses The air pollution cannot be restricted to airline but also to the ways resident disposes their rubbish. the industrial and road traffic emissions also pollute air
The likely cause of air quality problems is queuing traffic. Therefore, the resolution is to identify the root causes of queuing traffic and help it to flow more freely. This will include more mini roundabouts, less traffic lights, phasing of traffic lights to maximise throughput, and removal of pedestrianisation.
One way streets are causing "Rat runs" and the amount of speed humps do NOT decrease the speeds of vehicles in this area
Presumably , the bulk of the pollution is produced by motor vehicles ,so the solution is as obvious as it is impractical
I am concerned about the pollution impacts of expanding the airport. When this was being considered the consultation made a big point of managing the growth without harming the environment. Growth in pollution will affect people who work at the airport and people who live in Wigmore where the prevailing winds blow the pollutants. The parameters measured at the airport should be expanded to include NO2/Nox and we should be working with the airport to mitigate any increase in levels of this and the pollutants currently monitored.
It would be useful to extend air quality monitoring to other parts of the town, especially those to which any enforcement of AQMA standards might displace traffic. Aircraft pollution presumably takes place above the atmosphere in the AQMA, although I am not sure where it falls back to earth, but I noticed that, by observation over the top of George Street from the Debenhams in store cafe, about one (sl) Easy jet a minute was taking off across the bottom of Castle Street.
Obviously pedestrianise the area but I believe this is impractical. I'm at a loss with no ideas which are practical.

OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY BOARD AGENDA ITEM: 11
DATE OF MEETING: 24th March 2016
REPORT AUTHOR: Paul Adams, Service Manager (Public Protection & Economic Growth)
SUBJECT: Luton Skills and Employability Strategy 2016-2020
PURPOSE:
1. To consult the Overview and Scrutiny Board on a draft revised Skills and Employability Strategy.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
2. The Overview and Scrutiny Board is recommended to consider and comment on the proposed Skills and Employability Strategy 2016-2020.
REPORT:
3. Luton is committed to the development of a skilled workforce, creating better opportunities for its residents and supporting a vibrant and thriving business economy. Luton faces significant challenges that affect people who live, learn and work in the town.
4. The Luton Investment Framework sets out an approach to attract over £1bn of inward investment leading to the creation of an additional 18,500 jobs, 5,700 new homes and new business growth and inward investment. Central to this growth is a skilled, adaptable workforce in the town, with the right qualifications and skills to compete for and get the new jobs that will come from the Investment Framework activities.
5. The current Skills and Employability Strategy was approved by the Executive in 2012. However, with the forthcoming launch of the Investment Framework in April 2016 it was considered time to review priorities and approach, resulting in a refreshed strategy document.
Page 104 of 118
6. A summary of the draft strategy is set out in Appendix 1 and the full document is in Appendix 2. Public consultation closes on 11 March 2016 and it is due to be considered by the Executive on 4 April 2016.
7. The draft strategy has 5 strategic priorities:
a) To improve young people’s transition from education to employment and to provide a more comprehensive vocational offer for young people aged up to 24 years old.
b) To increase the range and take up of vocational training offered, including the number of apprenticeships being created and taken up, for all ages and at all levels.
c) To improve opportunities for learning, self development and employment progression for all, but particularly for the low paid and the low skilled
d) To remove barriers and improve pathways into work for the unemployed
e) To facilitate work with employers and training providers to ensure Luton’s residents are equipped to meet the skills needs of local business needs now and in the future and to provide good quality jobs for local people.
8. The Strategy sets out issues and actions in the following areas:
Luton’s young people (focusing on strategic priorities 1 and 2) Adult residents and social mobility (focusing on strategic priorities 2 and 3) Unemployment and social mobility (focusing on strategic priority 4) Skills for Luton’s economic growth (focusing on strategic priority 5)
9. The actions are high level and will be supplemented by a detailed action plan agreed and regularly reviewed by partners and through the appropriate governance arrangements.
10. Working in partnership with other organisations will be critical to the strategy having a positive impact. Key external partners with whom the council closely works include Job Centre Plus, University of Bedfordshire, SEMLEP, Post 16 education providers such as Luton Sixth Form College and Barnfield College.
11. The Skills and Employability Strategy dovetails with the council’s apprenticeship strategy, the welfare reform agenda, stronger families programme and the council’s ambitions on attracting European funding for helping unemployed people move closer to the job market.
12. A PowerPoint presentation will be made to the Board and members are invited to comment on the proposals.
13. Consultation commenced on 17 February 2016. At the time of writing the report the consultation period was still live. A verbal update will be given to the Board as part of the presentation.

DATE OF MEETING: 24TH MARCH 2016
REPORT AUTHOR: EUNICE LEWIS (Democracy and Scrutiny Officer)
SUBJECT: OSB WORK PROGRAMME AND EXECUTIVE FORWARD PLAN
PURPOSE:
1. To enable the Overview and Scrutiny Board to plan and determine its work programme.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
2. That the OSB examines the current work programme attached at Appendix A and make any amendments accordingly.
3. That the OSB determine which items on the Executive Forward Plan attached at Appendix B, the Board wishes to include as an item in the work programme.
5. Note that responsibility for making any urgent changes to the work programme between meetings be delegated by the Board to the Democracy and Scrutiny Team Leader, in consultation with the Chair of the Overview and Scrutiny Board.
REPORT:
6. The Overview and Scrutiny Board is responsible for managing the Overview and Scrutiny work programme. The Board agreed that for an item to be placed onto the work programme, it must score highly against the topic selection criteria. Meaning, issues that therefore score highly are those that are of concern to elected members’ constituents.
7. Any urgent changes to the work programme between publication of this agenda and report and the Board meeting will be reported to the meeting by the Democracy and Scrutiny Officer.
8. Members are asked to consider and note the report.

The Forward Plan lists the business undertaken by or on behalf of the Executive and will be published 28 days prior to each Executive meeting. Those items identified for decision more than 28 days in advance may change in forthcoming Plans. There may also be occasions where a key decision is deferred to a later meeting.
