This report includes a brief overview of the County Council together with highlights of performance for 2018/19. It also provides a summary of the financial performance of the Council as detailed later in the Statement of Accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Code of Practice on Local Authority Accounting (the Code) which is based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Devon Pension Fund accounts, although included in this publication, are separate from the accounts of the Council and are subject to a separate audit opinion. The Annual Governance Statement is included within this publication but does not form part of Devon County Council's accounts or those of the Pension Fund. The Annual Governance Statement explains the Council's Governance Framework and the roles of Cabinet and the Scrutiny function and significant governance issues and the challenges faced by the County Council. This report constitutes the Authority's "Narrative Statement" as required by Section 8 of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 (the Regulations). Accounting Policies The accounting policies (Note 2, page 31) establish the principles on which the figures in the financial statements are based. This year the Code adopts two new accounting standards: • IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Service Recipients; and • IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. There is no significant impact on how the Authority recognises or measures assets, liabilities, income or expenditure. However, there are additional disclosures: • Aged debt analysis of debtors for local taxation - business rates and council tax (Note 19) • Additional analysis of revenue from service recipients (Note 15) • How variations in the fair value of investments are accounted for and classified (Note 18) • The Available for Sale Reserve is replaced by the Financial Instruments Revaluation Reserve (Note 18). Summary of Financial statements The financial statements and their purpose are summarised as follows: Comprehensive Income and Expenditure Statement (page 25) This statement shows the accounting cost in the year of providing services in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices, rather than the amount to be funded from taxation. Councils raise taxation to cover expenditure in accordance with regulations: this may be different from the accounting cost. The taxation position is shown in the Movement in Reserves Statement. The Comprehensive Income and Expenditure Account shows a deficit of £29.9 millions in 2018/19 compared with a deficit of £75.7 millions in 2017/18. The reduction in the deficit is 4 mainly due to technical adjustments which can be found in Note 8, pages 52 and 53, which has decreased from £100.2 millions to £51.2 millions, a net change of £49.0 millions. The largest individual movement is the decrease in asset disposals (mainly academy conversions) of £70 millions, offset by other changes including the pension reserve and capital grants. The overall Pension deficit has reduced because of changes to actuarial assumptions, mainly the mortality assumptions that is included in Other Comprehensive Income and Expenditure rather than in the Deficit on the Provision of Services. Movement in Reserves Statement (page 26) This statement shows the movement in year for the reserves held by the Authority analysed into usable reserves (i.e. those

  • South Molton Mechanics Institute
    South Molton Mechanics Institute Mechanics’ Institutes were self-improvement organisations. Originally they were primarily intended to spread knowledge and learning amongst the newly emerging artisan classes created by the Industrial Revolution. They were local, independent organisations but generally based on the same principle, usually containing a library, reading room, lecture room and sometimes a small museum. The oldest Mechanics’ Institute in England was established in Holborn, London in 1823 and by 1850 there were about 700 in the UK. During the 1860s the number of Institutes gradually dwindled with those that did survive becoming almost exclusively the preserve of the middle and professional classes. Extracted from various web sites The Mechanics Institute at South Molton was established comparatively late on 1st January 1856. At this time South Molton had a population of approximately 4,500 with less than 1000 households. Only 150 residents had the vote. The Pannier Market had not yet been built but there was a Market House (later converted to a Post Office), plus stalls erected on Broad Street on market days. The Market House had been built on pillars and arches with rooms above which were used for meetings etc. There were two woollen mills which were doing well due to supplying blankets to the army during the Crimean war. The mills employed between 200-300 men and women plus about 80 boys and girls. The children received a few hours schooling a day. There were also several wool staplers and wool dealers in the town. There were two tanneries and the usual mix of artisans.

  • Northern Devon in the Domesday Book
    NORTHERN DEVON IN THE DOMESDAY BOOK INTRODUCTION The existence of the Domesday Book has been a source of national pride since the first antiquarians started to write about it perhaps four hundred years ago. However, it was not really studied until the late nineteenth century when the legal historian, F W Maitland, showed how one could begin to understand English society at around the time of the Norman Conquest through a close reading and analysis of the Domesday Book (Maitland 1897, 1987). The Victoria County Histories from the early part of the twentieth century took on the task of county-wide analysis, although the series as a whole ran out of momentum long before many counties, Devon included, had been covered. Systematic analysis of the data within the Domesday Book was undertaken by H C Darby of University College London and Cambridge University, assisted by a research team during the 1950s and 1960s. Darby(1953), in a classic paper on the methodology of historical geography, suggested that two great fixed dates for English rural history were 1086, with Domesday Book, and circa 1840, when there was one of the first more comprehensive censuses and the detailed listings of land-use and land ownership in the Tithe Survey of 1836-1846. The anniversary of Domesday Book in 1986 saw a further flurry of research into what Domesday Book really was, what it meant at the time and how it was produced. It might be a slight over-statement but in the early-1980s there was a clear consensus about Domesday Book and its purpose but since then questions have been raised and although signs of a new shared understanding can be again be seen, it seems unlikely that Domesday Book will ever again be taken as self-evident.

Devon County Council was the Trustee of the Sutcombe School Site, however the charitable objectives of the Trust could longer be fulfilled. As a result, the County Council wished to dispose the land and buildings comprising the former school site known as Sutcombe County Primary School which had closed in July 2016 and was no longer required by the County Council for the purposes of educational provision within the local area. As Trustee, the County Council was obligated to ensure that the School Site was managed and maintained in a condition which allowed it to be used to fulfil the charitable objects.
