Durham County Council County Council 20 February 2019 Council Tax Setting in Order to Meet the County Council’s Council Tax Requirement for 2019/20 Report of John Hewitt, Corporate Director of Resources Councillor Alan Napier, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Finance Electoral division(s) affected: Countywide Purpose of the Report 1 To provide Members with financial information and forecasts to enable the Council to set the council tax for 2019/20. Executive summary 2 The Local Government Finance Act 1992 and subsequent amendments (the Act) requires the council to set its council tax before 11 March 2019. 3 In setting the council tax, the council is required to make certain calculations and to approve a number of resolutions in accordance with the Act. The detailed calculations are set out in Appendices 2 to 5. 4 The recommended basic council tax at Band D for the council is £1,590.65 for 2019/20. This represents an increase of 4.99% from 2018/19 and includes an Adult Social Care precept of 2% in line with Government guidance to cover the rising costs of Adult Social Care services to vulnerable adults. The council tax at Band D, including the Fire and Police precepts is £1,899.39. 5 County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Authority is recommending to set a Band D council tax of £103.50 at its meeting on 22 February 2019. This represents an increase from 2018/19 of £2.97 or 2.95%. 6 The Durham Police, Crime and Victims’ Commissioner set a Band D council tax of £205.24. This equals an increase of £24.00 or 13.24% from 2018/19. 7 There is an additional council tax in any parished area where a precept has been served on the council as billing authority and, in the former City of Durham District Council area, an additional sum for the Charter Trustees for the City of Durham. The town and parish council precepts for 2019/20 total £13,148,430, which results in an average Band D council tax of £118.68. Full details of individual parish precepts are provided in Appendix 3. 8 The council has determined the estimated collection fund surplus as at 31 March 2019, which was reported to Cabinet on 14 November 2018 and available for use in 2019/20, to be £1.716 million. This is shared between the council, County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Authority and Durham Police, Crime and Victims’ Commissioner in proportion to the 2018/19 demands/ precepts.

Background Council Tax Levels 10 The Local Government Finance Act 1992 and subsequent amendments (the Act) requires the council to set its council tax before 11 March 2019. 11 The Localism Act 2011 and the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014 have made significant changes to the Local Government Finance Act 1992, and require the council as ‘billing authority’ to calculate its ‘council tax’ requirement for the year. 12 In setting the council tax, the council is required to make certain calculations and to approve a number of resolutions in accordance with the Act and the detailed calculations are set out in Appendices 2 to 5. 13 The recommended basic council tax at Band D for the council is £1,590.65 for 2019/20. This represents an increase of 4.99% from 2018/19 and includes an Adult Social Care precept of 2% in line with Government guidance to cover the rising costs of Adult Social Care services to vulnerable adults. The council tax at Band D including the Fire and Police precepts is £1,899.39. 14 County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Authority is recommending to set a Band D council tax of £103.50 at its meeting on 22 February 2019. 15 The Durham Police, Crime and Victims’ Commissioner has set a Band D council tax of £205.24 at its meeting on 1 February 2019. 16 There will also be an additional council tax in any parished area where a precept has been served on the council as billing authority and, in the former City of Durham District Council area, an additional sum for the Charter Trustees for the City of Durham.

  • County Durham Landscape Character Assessment: Classification
    LANDSCAPE CHARACTER THE LANDSCAPE CLASSIFICATION The Landscape Classification The County Durham Landscape Character Assessment identifies landscape types and character areas at three different levels - the regional, the sub-regional and the local. Regional County Character Areas Sub-regional Broad Landscape Types Broad Character Areas See Table 1 Local Local Landscape Types See Table 2 Local Sub-types County Character Areas. County Character Areas are based on Natural England’s Countryside Character Areas. There are 6 Countryside Character Areas in County Durham, all of which extend beyond its administrative boundaries. County Character Areas are effectively those parts of Countryside Character Areas lying within the County. The boundaries of County Character Areas are more precisely drawn than those of Countryside Character Areas as they are based on a more detailed level of assessment. In reality the boundaries between these broad landscape zones are often gradual and progressive and difficult to identify precisely on the ground. The character of County Character Areas may differ in some ways from that of the larger Countryside Character Areas to which they belong. The descriptions of County Character Areas given here in the Landscape Assessment may therefore be slightly different to the descriptions given in other publications for Countryside Character Areas. Broad Landscape Types and Character Areas Broad Landscape Types are landscapes with similar patterns of geology, soils, vegetation, land use, settlement and field patterns identified at a broad sub-regional level. As with County Character Areas, the boundaries between Broad Landscape Types are not always precise, as the change between one landscape and another can be gradual and progressive.

  • Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from Gravity Survey and Structural Inversion

Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from gravity survey and structural inversion Rob Westaway 1,*, Sean M. Watson 1, Aaron Williams 1, Tom L. Harley 2, and Richard Middlemiss 3 1 James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, James Watt (South) Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. 2 WSP, 70 Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1AF, UK. 3 School of Physics, University of Glasgow, Kelvin Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. * Correspondence: [email protected]; Abstract: The Butterknowle Fault is a major normal fault of Dinantian age in northern England, bounding the Stainmore Basin and the Alston Block. This fault zone has been proposed as a source of deep geothermal energy; to facilitate the design of a geothermal project in the town of Bishop Auckland further investigation of its geometry was necessary and led to the present study. We show using three-dimensional modelling of a dense local gravity survey, combined with structural inversion, that this fault has a ramp-flat-ramp geometry, ~250 m of latest Carboniferous / Early Permian downthrow having occurred on a fault surface that is not a planar updip continuation of that which had accommodated the many kilometres of Dinantian extension. The gravity survey also reveals relatively low-density sediments in the hanging-wall of the Dinantian fault, interpreted as porous alluvial fan deposits, indicating that a favourable geothermal target indeed exists in the area.

  • Review of Community Governance in the Unparished Area of Durham City Carried out by Durham County Council Final Recommendations
    Review of Community Governance in the Unparished Area of Durham City carried out by Durham County Council Final Recommendations (No Parishing Arrangements) On 26 October 2011, the County Council approved terms of reference for the conduct of a Community Governance Review in the area of Durham City. The terms of reference were published on 1 November and included the terms of the petition which had been received from residents requesting the establishment of a town council. Although the petition was not compliant with the legislation the Council decided to undertake the review. On 21 st March 2012, the Council approved Draft Recommendations for a second period of consultation with Durham. This draft can be accessed at www.durham.gov.uk/communitygovernance On 25 July 2012, the Council approved a further consultation of the areas of Aykley Vale, Priory Road and Dryburn Park to request whether the residents of these areas would prefer to be either simply parished, or to join Framwellgate Moor Parish Council. The Review The Council is carried out this review under the Local Government Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 (‘the Act’). It was known to the Council that there was a wish in the area by some residents to have the review with a view to establishing parish council arrangements. The review was however delayed whilst the Council was waiting for the Local Government Boundary Commission for England recommendations in relation to electoral arrangements for County Durham, following Local Government Reorganisation in 2009. The review was commenced before final recommendations were published by the Boundary Commission in order to enable the Council to put in place any electoral arrangements for any parish council established by the review in time for the County Council elections on 2 May 2013.

A Community News supplement 75 years of history and a promise for the future Way back in 1935, during the depression years when 30% of the county’s workforce was unemployed ‘The National Council for Social Service’ (the Government agency of the day) recognised a need for social support for the unemployed. This led to the creation of ‘The Community Service Council for Durham County’ (now DRCC). Pictured below is a 1975 staff photograph taken at Hallgarth House in Durham, to mark the 40th anniversary of the organisation. Miss Ivy Fox takes centre stage. Miss Fox, who gave 40 years of service, remains our longest ever serving member of staff. That kind of dedication shines today as projects may come and go but it’s our people who make the difference - often going the extra mile to deliver more than is expected. 1935 - ’Community Service Over the years we have proven ourselves to be flexible, adaptable and Council for Durham County responsive and pride ourselves in having responded to the needs and problems Limited’ founded of the time – through the good times and, as now, full circle to a time when (forerunner of DRCC) the going gets a bit tough. 1936 - Abdication of King Through these pages we hope to give a glimpse of our history - the work done, Edward VIII the experience gained, the appreciation of communities where we have worked.

The County stretches from the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in the west to the North Sea Heritage Coast in the east and borders Gateshead and Sunderland, Northumberland, Cumbria and Hartlepool, Stockton, Darlington and North Yorkshire. Although commonly regarded as a predominantly rural area, the County varies in character from remote and sparsely populated areas in the west, to the former coalfield communities in the centre and east, where 90% of the population lives east of the A68 road in around half of the County by area. The Settlement Study 2017 seeks to provide an understanding of the number and range of services available within each of the 230 settlements within County Durham. (a) Identifying the number and range of services and facilities available within a settlement is useful context to inform decision making both for planning applications and policy formulation. The range and number of services within a settlement is usually, but not always, proportionate to the size of its population. The services within a settlement will generally determine a settlement's role and sphere of influence.
