41. POLICE ISSUES

No representative of Merseyside Police attended the meeting.

42. PROPOSED INTRODUCTION OF DROPPED KERBS - RICHARD MARTIN ROAD, LITHERLAND

Further to Minute No.28(a) of the meeting held on 2 September 2009, the Committee considered the report of the Planning and Economic Regeneration Director, which sought approval for the provision of two dropped kerbs to be located on the footway at Richard Martin Road, Litherland. The proposed dropped kerbs would enable disabled residents to travel safely into Litherland town centre. Attached as an annexe to the report was map that detailed the locations where the proposed dropped kerbs would to be installed.

Members expressed their concern at the way this request / application had been handled: Residents had been given poor advice and instruction by Officers, which had caused confusion and delay; the protocols and procedures, established through the Neighbourhoods Team, had not been followed; Officers had wrongly advised residents to approach the Committee to fund footway improvements, the Committee stressed that its remit did not extend to supplementing highway improvement programmes; the report did not contain sufficient detail to enable the Committee to make an truly informed decision; and furthermore, there did not appear to be any clear identified criteria or coordinated strategy for installing dropped kerbs across the borough. A Councillor also commented that he had sought advice and clarification from the Legal Director on the types of projects/developments the Committee could fund, but he had not received an answer to his query.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned concerns Councillors agreed that Richard Martin Road, Litherland should have dropped kerbs and on this occasion the Committee would make a contribution of £1,000 towards their installation. However the Committee emphasised, in the strongest possible terms, this did not set a precedent for future budget allocations. All future budgetary requests must follow the due process and procedure, which was administered through the Neighbourhoods Team.

RESOLVED: That

(1) an allocation of £1,000 be made from the Ford Ward budget for the installation of two dropped kerbs located at Richard Martin Road, Litherland;

(2) the Planning and Economic Regeneration Director be requested to disseminate information to appropriate Officers regarding the Committee’s budgetary arrangements;

Page21 6 Agenda Item 3 LITHERLAND AND FORD AREA COMMITTEE- WEDNESDAY 30TH SEPTEMBER, 2009

(3) the Planning and Economic Regeneration Director be requested to advise Officers that the Committee’s budget is not a supplement to work programme / departmental budgets;

(4) the Planning and Economic Regeneration Director be requested to liaise with Finance and Information Services Director to ensure that information on the Council’s internet pages accurately reflect the procedures for the Committee’s budgetary administration;

(5) the concerns of the Committee be forwarded to the Legal Director for inclusion on the agenda of the next Joint Meeting of Party Leaders and Area Committee Chairs, scheduled for 5 November, 2009.

43. BUDGET MONITORING

Further to Minute No.34 of the meeting held on 2 September 2009, the Committee considered the report of the Planning and Economic Regeneration Director that provided information on available resources for the Area Committee area and progress on those items approved at previous meetings.

Miss D.Edwards, Neighbourhood Team, informed the Committee that since the publication of the agenda, it had emerged that some streets required additional street name plates. Consequently Ford Ward would be requested to contribute an additional £280 and Litherland Ward would be requested to contribute an additional £385 to the initial request for £1,000 detailed within the report .

RESOLVED: That

(1) the current financial position and progress to date on items previously agreed within the report be noted; and

(2) an allocation of £1,280 be made for Street Signs from the Ford Ward allocation; and

(3) an allocation of £1,385 be made for Street Signs from the Ford Ward allocation.

44. PROGRESS REPORT

The Committee considered the report of the Planning and Economic Regeneration Director that set the comments of the appropriate Officers on matters raised at previous meetings.

RESOLVED:

That the Progress Report be noted.

1.0 BACKGROUND

1.1 Requests have been received from residents of Bowden Street, Tattersall Road and Lonsdale Road Litherland for a disabled person’s parking place outside their place of residency.

1.2 Site observations and information supplied by the resident’s general practitioner confirms that the usual level of parking leads to the applicant frequently being unable to secure a parking space within their mobility range and a reasonable distance of their home, leading to undue inconvenience and / or discomfort. It is proposed, therefore that a disabled parking place be provided.

2.0 PROPOSAL

2.1 It is proposed to introduce a disabled person’s parking place including the provision of a numbered permit to the applicant outside :

Centrally located outside No. 26 Bowden Street, Litherland

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.0 It has been agreed that Planning Committee will seek the views of Area Committee on spending the monies derived from legal agreements under S106 of the Town and Country Planning Act. This process will take place once an agreement has been signed, a start on the development has been made and the monies have been paid to the Council

1.1 Reports were submitted to those Area Committees where there were relevant agreements in April/May 2009. No report was submitted to the Litherland and Ford meeting as issues raised at the November 2008 meeting had not been resolved.

1.2 However, there have been discussions on how monies might be spent in the Litherland Ward with the local ward members. They are very keen to ensure that the Section 106 resources can be looked at within the context of a wider Investment Plan for the area. Particular attention has been given to the Linacre Bridge area. This area has a large retail and business sector on Linacre Road which is a continuation from Stanley Road. This road and the surrounding area need significant investment to revitalise it.

1.3 A multi-agency steering group has been established which is looking at how partners and the local community and businesses can develop and implement an Investment Plan for the area. The Area Committee are asked to endorse this as an approach and to recognise the benefits of utilising Section 106 within the legal guidance in the most effective way.

1.4 There are currently eleven S106 commuted sums awaiting an agreement to recommend where they should be spent. Those S106’s can be seen in the table below at Annexe A

1.5 This includes the Tesco development at the Landstar site on Hawthorne Road (S/2008/0134). Members will note there are a number of elements in the commuted sum allocated to different types of works. The sums for air quality, signage, bus stop improvements and the Hawthorne Road improvements scheme are precisely referred to in the clauses of the S106 agreement. These are already allocated for implementation. However, there is a considerable sum for employment initiatives which will form part of the discussion around the Investment Plan outlined above.

1.6 A further series of recommendations will be prepared for the Planning Committee meeting in March 2010. This will detail the position on all outstanding agreements and the progress of spending for this Area Committee area.

2.0 PROGRESS ON CURRENT SCHEMES IN LITHERLAND AND FORD AREA COMMITTEE AREA

2.1 At the Area Committee meeting in May 2008, members requested that

Page 23 Agenda Item 8

monies from the Mell Inn development should be dedicated to the HMRI areas within the Ford and Litherland Ward and that some monies should be given to the multi-games area in Mellanear Park. The money from that site has now been received and the above recommendation can be seen in the table of recommendations below.

2.2 Members will note that £27,861.00 for tree planting has been received in connection with the Lidl development at the junction of Bridge Road and Wellington Road. The location of where to plant trees was to be guided by the Seaforth and Litherland Action Plan. As this plan is now on hold until Spring 2010 members may wish to make suggestions as to where the planting should take place.

3.0 FORTHCOMING SCHEMES

3.1 A report will be submitted to the April/May 2010 meeting on any relevant action or new payments which occur in the next 6 months. If members wish to query any specific schemes please contact [email protected]

4.0 RECOMMENDATION (S)

That the Area Committee:

(i) Note the progress made to date in spending Section 106 monies

(ii) Provide any comments about forthcoming developments that will impact on their area and usage of Section 106 as a result

BACKGROUND:

1.0 Overview of Youth Provision across Sefton

1.1 Appendix 1 Overview of Youth Provision across Sefton, forms the main body of this report.

It provides an outline of the universal and targeted provision that is available for the young people of Sefton by the area in which they live. This is not an exhaustive list but it contains the majority of provision within those areas. Youth opportunities from many private, profit-making sectors have not been included.

2.0 Targeted Provision

Targeted provision is part of the IYSS strategy and supports young people with an identified need, usually via an assessment. Targeted provision shows excellent examples of partnership working across service sectors. Targeted provision operates across Sefton and isn’t necessarily restricted by area, although many services can be largely dependent on grants.

2.1 The following gives an outline of targeted provision provided by the Fire & Rescue Service and by Merseyside Police.

2.1i The Police and Community Youth Encouragement Scheme (PAYES) delivered from Bootle Police Station links in with Youth Services and schools to identify young people who will benefit from this scheme. The scheme is provided through an independent registered charity managed by Bootle dedicated officers to target individual young people to build positive relationships between young people and the police. It forms part of a Neighbourhood Strategy to reduce anti-social behaviour. Young people attend a series of workshops and also benefit from a week’s residential trip where they participate in team building and confidence building programmes. Police officers who provide this service give of their time voluntarily. Young people selected are not necessarily those who are known to the criminal system, they are also young people where it is recognised that they live in challenging home circumstances and have had limited experiences to develop the life skills needed to make a full contribution to society.

2.1ii Merseyside Fire and Rescue’s Youth Engagement Team based at Bootle and Netherton Fire Station support targeted programmes for young people. Many other staff from the service also hold additional contracts to support youth activities, supported through external funding.

2.1iii Merseyside Fire and Rescue offer the complete Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme from Bootle and Netherton Fire Station in partnership with Sefton

Page 32 Agenda Item 9

Youth Service. The delivery of this award is joint funded by the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service and Sefton Youth Service.

2.1iv Merseyside Fire and Rescue deliver two targeted early intervention programmes for young people who are considered to be at risk of exclusion, of fire setting behaviour and anti social behaviour; the Beacon Project and LIFE Project. Referrals are made by services including Sefton’s Youth Offending Team. The programme focuses on building confidence and developing skills and provides a qualification on completion. In 2006, Merseyside Fire and Rescue became the first fire and rescue service in the country to receive two Beacon awards, namely Early Intervention (Children at Risk) and for its services for Older People.

2.1v Merseyside Fire and Rescue is the delivery partner for The Prince’s Trust 12 week fulltime programme for young people who are not in education, training or employment and would benefit from a course aimed at increasing confidence and developing key skills. This is delivered from their Training and Development Academy, Croxteth. Young people are referred mostly through Connexions. Once completed the young person has the option of repeating the course as a mentor. For some, this has led to employment within the Princes Trust organisation.

2.1vi Merseyside Fire and Rescue work with individual young people who display fire setting behaviour at home, in their school or within the community. The community Fire Safety Co-ordinator also works closely with Sefton Leisure Service, Sefton Youth Service, schools, and the community to support community events in parks, schools etc...

2.1vii Merseyside Fire and Rescue have three Fire Safety officers that can link in directly with senior schools. The Fire and Safety officers work directly in schools for one day a week, for up to a year, with disengaged young people, either individually or in small groups. This is externally funded through the schools themselves or through funding opportunities identified by the CVS funding portal.

3.0 Targeted Youth Support TYS for Children and Young People aged 8-19

3.1 Targeted Youth Support is a service to support young people with clearly identified unmet needs. A key aim of TYS is to help vulnerable young people early to address their difficulties as they emerge and prevent problems escalating, This will often mean working with young people who may not meet traditional thresholds for statutory or specialist services, but who, without assistance, are at risk of further problems such as substance misuse, offending, teenage pregnancy, anti social behaviour and homelessness. It may also mean working with young people who are coming to the end of their involvement with a specialist service.

3.2 The Targeted Youth Support Service contributes to the five Every Child Matters outcomes; be healthy, stay safe, enjoy and achieve, making a

Page 33 Agenda Item 9

positive contribution and achieving economic well-being. In addition, by offering support to vulnerable young people, TYS will contribute to strategic and corporate priorities and those of the Children and Young People’s Plan: community cohesion, narrowing the gap between disadvantaged and other areas of the borough, shift towards early identification and prevention and the development of three areas for delivery of children’s services,

3.3 It is important to recognise that TYS in Sefton is a service; it is not a Panel to meter services. TYS in Sefton will not duplicate any existing services rather it will plug service gaps and offer a service provision that is both flexible and at times immediate.

4.0 Family Intervention Project FIP

4.1 The Family Intervention Project is a new initiative to provide an intensive, high quality family support and intervention service for families that have stopped engaging with statutory services and whose anti social behaviour is putting their tenancies at risk or has already resulted in them becoming homeless. Positive outcomes will be achieved through persistent and timely interventions via a comprehensive needs assessment, support and effective partnership working. The children and young people of those families engaged with the FIP will receive the support of Targeted Youth Support via the CAF process or a Child in Need assessment.

4.2 FIP is funded via a new funding made available through the Youth Crime Action Plan (YCAP) which outlined a comprehensive package of measures to prevent and tackle youth crime. Funding has been provided for 2009-10 and 2010-11 to strengthen support for families at risk. Recruitment of FIP staff will begin in the summer.

5.0 Parent Know How- Information Repository for Children, Young People and their Families

5.1 Parent Know How is a £60 million programme from the Department for Children, Schools and Families, which seeks to transform the quality, choice, provision and awareness of parental information and support services, in order to help improve outcomes for children and young people. It is designed to improve provision to all parents, with a particular focus on meeting the needs of parents who are not as well served by current sources of help as they could be, including parents of disabled children, fathers from all backgrounds and parents of teenage children. Working with key third-sector organisations to deliver services, Parent Know How enables support for all those in parenting roles through: • telephone helplines – consisting of continued and increased support to existing helplines; enabling expanded capacity so more parents can get through to ask for help and advice

Page 34 Agenda Item 9

• new communications platforms – including text messaging, instant messaging, social networking tools and improved internet use

• a 'virtual magazine' – printed content that reaches parents who would prefer not to use telephone helplines or internet technologies to access information, advice and support.

• Parent Know How Directory - a comprehensive online directory of local and national childcare and families services available from the 7 th September 2009. Created for parents, carers and those that work with them, it will provide them with a single trusted source of information. The Directory will be available through DirectGov, local authority websites, and Children's Centres; plus other locations such as third and private sector websites.

5.2 The Parent Know How Directory will offer parents, and those working with them, the ability to search for information about childcare and families services in both their local community and nationally. The PKH Directory supports local authority (LA) delivery of their duty under section 12 of the Childcare Act 2006 to provide such service information to parents.

5.3 All Local Authorities are currently working on implementing systems that will communicate with the Directory for all information regarding services for children, young people and their families to be accessed through this central portal. Sefton has formed a steering group, comprising of representatives across many services for children, young people and their families to ensure that details of all service provision available for children, young people and their families in Sefton is entered into this system. This will replace all other information portals for children, young people and their families.

Dear Mr McNeight,

Questions to Litherland & Ford Area Committee - September 2 nd and September 30 th 2009 Various parking & Traffic issues – Marina Avenue / Sefton Street / Hawthorne Road, Litherland

I refer to your question(s) addressed to the 2nd September meeting of the Litherland & Ford Area Committee on various traffic and parking issues in Marina Avenue, Sefton Street and Hawthorne Road, Litherland. I also refer to our response of the24th September and your further question to the Area Committee Meeting of the 30 th September.

I am sorry that you were dissatisfied with our response of the 24 th September. In it we were merely seeking your assistance to give us some additional information beyond that contained in your question of the 2 nd September, so that we could investigate and / or carry out some targetted enforcement action. It always much easier and a more efficient use of limited staff resources if we have an idea of when problems are at their worst.

I have now had the opportunity to check back through the minutes of the Area Committee for the past twelve months and can find no record of these matters having been raised before.

In view of the above I would be grateful if you could let us know in relation to your original questions:

Question 1 – In which roads the parking problems are occuring

Question 2 – Does the abuse of the disabled bays take place on particular days and at particular times, when is this at its worst.

With regard to Questions 3 & 4 we were merely informing you that Merseyside Police do not support the introduction of such bans without physical measures to make the banned turning manoeuvre impossible. We would agree with them that it is pointless to introduce such measures which would rely on enforcement and would be frequently ignored.

Agenda Item 10 With regard to Question 5, we were again informing you that this is not something that Sefton MBC can enforce any enforcement action must be undertaken by the Police.

I look forward to hearing from you with responses to the queries raised on questions 1 & 2.

Yours sincerely,

Dave Marrin Traffic Services Manager
