  • Leicester Child Poverty Commission

    Leicester Child Poverty Commission

    Leicester Child Poverty Commission Update on the Commission’s recommendations March 2015 The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of actions taken since the Leicester Child Poverty Commission published its initial recommendations in January 2013. The paper outlines work taking place to deliver those recommendations and also considers the current child poverty challenge in Leicester. Introduction The Child Poverty Act 2010 requires local authorities and partner organisations to put in place arrangements to reduce and mitigate the effects of child poverty; to publish a child poverty needs assessment and to prepare a joint child poverty strategy. The formal duty to co-operate set out in the Child Poverty Act 2010 identifies those partners formally expected to co-operate, namely the police, probation service, transport authorities, National Health Service bodies and Job Centre Plus. There is no formal requirement in the Child Poverty Act 2010 for the third sector, housing organisation, schools and colleges and businesses and employers to co- operate. However, in Leicester it is recognised that partners from each of these sectors have contributed to efforts to tackle poverty and continue to have an active engagement. This underlines one of the fundamental aims of the Leicester Child Poverty Commission to secure active partnerships and broader engagement around the need to tackle and reduce poverty in the city. One of the reasons the Child Poverty Commission was set up was to initiate a broader conversation and debate about the issues underpinning poverty in Leicester and to support collaborative efforts in response to the poverty challenge. One of the key aims of setting up the commission was to underline the fact that efforts to reduce poverty and protect children from the worst impacts of poverty could not be the sole responsibility of any one organisation or sector.

Thank you for your consultation on the above application. This application was reported to our Planning Management Committee on the 11th March 2020. It was resolved that East Northamptonshire Council strongly objects to the application. A copy of our Committee report and update sheet are appended to this letter. In summary, these objections are on the following grounds: The application represents a significant departure from our shared development plan. Corby is already on target with regard to the provision of employment land, and the projected number of jobs provided could make it difficult for East Northamptonshire, to meet its own employment targets; The highway impacts from this proposal are unknown, but likely to be severe for this district, for example; o The proposal to ‘monitor and manage’ is unacceptable in its own
