PART 1 – ITEMS CONSIDERED IN THE PRESENCE OF THE PUBLIC AND PRESS
64 APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE
Apologies for absence were received from Mr J Bland, Mrs H Halliday, Mr A Muirhead and Mr S Rooke.
The Local Committee asked that their best wishes for a speedy recovery be conveyed to Mr Bland following his recent operation.
9 65 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
(1) There were no public questions or petitions relating to any items of business on the agenda.
(2) Mrs Gillian Saunders spoke about the parking restrictions that had been introduced on Birthwaite Road, Windermere and of the huge improvement they had made to the area (minute 23 of a meeting of the Local Committee on 17 July 2014 refers).
Photographs showing the road before and after the introduction of the parking restrictions were circulated at the meeting. Mrs Saunders explained that the road had no pavements just a grass verge which was uneven and slippery so pedestrians usually had to walk in the road. Before parking restrictions were introduced parked cars narrowed the highway, with pedestrians and both directions of traffic sharing a single width of tarmac. Following their introduction pedestrians could now face approaching traffic as they walked along the road, vehicles could see them clearly and they had the space to pass safely. More people were now using the road to walk, or cycle, with their dogs and children, and there were fewer cars using the road as they were not expecting a parking space.
Mrs Saunders also advised that the number of annual permit holders in the District Council car park had increased, and of new contract parking that had been taken up in the nearby church and social club, which was all provided at a cost of around £1 a day. There was also unrestricted parking at the bottom end of Birthwaite Road, and spare capacity at the car parks either end of the road.
Birthwaite Road now provided an attractive safe pedestrian walk linking Windermere Town Centre to the Lake. It was increasingly used as a recreational route by locals and visitors alike, and was very much welcomed by the many elderly residents of the area who could now walk safely from their homes to the shops and amenities in the town.
Mrs Saunders thanked the Local Committee for its support and for approving the scheme which had been a success and was greatly appreciated.
(3) Ms Sara Owen spoke of concerns about speeding traffic and the potential road safety implications within the village of Arnside. She explained that the speed limit of 30mph had appeared to be too fast to a group of residents and therefore they had started a “20’s Plenty” campaign.
Ms Owen described the village, and of the response to the “20’s Plenty“ campaign which was supported by Arnside Primary School, sheltered living developments, sight advice group and businesses.
A door to door survey had also been carried out to ascertain the views of residents. Ms Owen advised that here had been a 60% response from the
10 1206 households, of which 78% favoured a reduction in the speed limit. A previous survey six years ago saw only 50%, illustrating a massive change in opinion. A speed gun, which had been used for two weeks, had recorded speeds in excess of 30mph at eight locations, the highest being 49mph on Black Dyke Road. Ms Owen was also aware that the County Council had speed tubes present in November.
Ms Owen shared a few of the comments received back from fellow residents in Arnside relating to the speed of cars and cycles in the village, and the lack of pavements and crossing points. In conclusion she thanked members for listening to her and to the concerns of the residents of Arnside, the vast majority of whom agreed that a 30mph speed restriction was no longer appropriate in the village. She asked the Local Committee to take the necessary action to confirm their findings and to then reduce the speed limit in the village.
The Chair thanked Ms Owen for attending the meeting and advised that this issue would be referred to the Local Committee’s Highways and Transportation Working Group for consideration.
66 EXCLUSION OF PRESS AND PUBLIC
RESOLVED that the press and public be admitted to the meeting for all items of business.
67 DISCLOSURES OF INTEREST
There were no disclosable pecuniary interests declared at the meeting.
68 PRESENTATIONS a Update on Connecting Cumbria
A presentation from Catherine Weldon, Project Manager updating the Local Committee on the Connecting Cumbria programme had been deferred until its next meeting. b Safe and Well Proposals Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service
Mr Mark Ducie, Senior Manager – Prevention delivered a presentation on Community Safety within the Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service and the introduction of Safe and Well visits to be launched from the 1st April 2017. He began by informing the Local Committee of the success of fire prevention work within the home, which was borne out by fire statistics showing a steady downward trend in fire deaths and injuries in England since the early 2000s.
Mr Ducie advised that Community Safety was a statutory requirement under the Fire Services Act 2014 which was delivered primarily by regular Firefighters, the Home Accident Reduction Team, Volunteer Network, and the Home Safety Visit
11 Technicians. As well as fire prevention Mr Ducie described their broad range of responsibilities in relation to the wider rescue and community role of the service.
Mr Ducie advised that home safety assessments were being expanded to support identified health issues and gave an example of an approach to Safe and Wellbeing developed by the Chief Fire Officers Association. Within the Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service (CFRS) Safe and Well visits would be offered to householders as part of the Home Safety Visit and in the first year would include Slips, Trips and Falls; Smoking Cessation; Alcohol Reduction; and Social Wellbeing which were priorities established after meeting with Public Health.
Mr Ducie explained that the Exeter data was an index score by age/gender which enabled the CFRS to identify over 65s and deliver Safe and Well visits to those who were in need or potentially vulnerable. From April 2017 the Service would re-launch its Home Safety Assessment programme as “Safe and Well” visits with Firefighters and Community Safety teams carrying out additional basic health checks. It was planned to deliver in the region of 8,000 – 10,000 home visits.
In responding to a wide range of questions Mr Ducie confirmed that there was two way communication between Health, Care and Community Services and the CFRS about potential risks identified in the homes that they visited. As well, in delivering Safe and Well visits, there would be interaction with the Health and Wellbeing Coaches, who worked with individuals and families in their homes and local communities to support them to improve their health and wellbeing. Mr Ducie also confirmed that all employees and volunteers involved completed safeguarding training up to level 1.
Members welcomed the presentation and looked forward to receiving a progress report in six months time. A request was made for any data to be provided on a divisional basis. With regard to Road Awareness Training it was suggested circulating a Select Committee report produced by the Environmental Quality and Safety Scrutiny Panel on Road Safety in Cumbria to all members, and for them to be shown the videos used in schools.
69 MINUTES
The minutes of the meeting of the Local Committee held on 17 November 2016 were confirmed, as circulated, and thereupon signed by the Chair.
On minute 63a – Partner Organisations – Mr Wilson advised that he would circulate the link to the website for the Veterans’ Gateway Programme once it was available.
70 PARKING SERVICES UPDATE
Consideration was given to a report by the Corporate Director - Economy and Highways providing an update on the enforcement of on-street parking provision in the South Lakeland area, and asking members to identify any ongoing issues with enforcement and parking management within their divisions.
12 The report outlined the key aims and objectives of the service, provided a monthly breakdown of the Penalty Charge Notices that had been issued for on-street parking contraventions in the South Lakeland locality between 1st April and 30th September 2016, as well as details about the work of the Parking Services Team.
In presenting the report the Senior Manager, Regulatory Services, highlighted in particular programmes of work looking into Blue Badge abuse, and parking concerns in the vicinity of schools and similar educational establishments. He also advised that Civil Enforcement Officers were making a record of vehicles which appeared to be untaxed or abandoned, verifying details and reporting them to the Police, DVLA or District Council as appropriate. As well he advised of a change to the process for issuing residents permits, and of the appointment of enforcement agents to chase up individuals who had not paid their parking fines.
In responding to questions on various aspects of the report officers advised that the introduction of new residents parking schemes were judged on a case by case basis. They confirmed that there was regular dialogue between the Highways and Parking Teams, and that any requests/concerns from members and local communities were looked into. Ways of addressing the problems caused by Blue Badge holders parking on double yellow lines, and cars parked over gullies when gully cleansing was taking place, were also touched upon.
Members commented that the monthly updates now being circulated were very useful, and it was suggested including details of the amount of unpaid fines in future reports presented to the Local Committee.
RESOLVED that the report, as an update on the performance of the on-street parking enforcement service in the South Lakeland locality, be noted.

Cllr Evans the local champion for Children Looked After informed of two Foster Carers meetings she had attended.
At the meeting in December Foster Carers had felt that one of the main problems were the many changes to the young person’s Social Worker. They also considered that the joint visits by their own Fostering Social Worker and the young person’s Social Worker to be most helpful. It was hoped that potentially there could be two volunteer Foster Carers sitting on the Corporate Parenting Board so that members could hear of their concerns and benefit from their experience of looking after children and young people.
The Emergency Duty Team was there to help with problems that arose out of hours. Many of the calls were about young people that went missing from home and it was
18 important that Foster Carers had clear information about what to do in such circumstances.
The Foster Carers meeting held the previous day had been about the Peer Mentoring system which Foster Carers were keen to see established in Cumbria.
Cllr Evans went onto provide feedback from the project to support young people on the edge of care carried out over an eight week period by the Brewery and Brathay Trust, and she advised of an Anti-Poverty Strategy she had attended organised by the District Council’s Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
Cllr Evans agreed to circulate her presentation to all members.

Appendix 3 – Consultation Summary
Cartmel TRO 2017
CONSULTATION FEEDBACK
RESPONSE TO CONSULTATION, ADVERTISING AND ONJECTIONS DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Response to consultation
1. Of the statutory consultees, Cllr. Sanderson, Cumbria Constabulary, Parish Council, Conservation Officer and Cumbria Tourism have responded and commented on the proposals.
2. Councillor Sue Sanderson – Would like to record support for the proposals. The work that has been undertaken prior to the agreement on the composition of the TRO has been lengthy, considered and consulted upon. The TRO constitutes a traffic management plan which can be agreed upon and has to be considered as a whole because one alteration can affect other parts.
3. Cumbria Constabulary – A good scheme, may sort out some of the perennial issues.
4. Lower Allithwaite Parish Council – This has been a long time coming and a difficult exercise but having reached what is the only enforceable solution for Cartmel i.e. yellow lines, the Parish Council are recommending that we proceed with yellow lines.
5. Graham Darlington, Conservation Officer, South Lakeland District Council – Objects to the proposals for the core of the Cartmel Conservation area on the grounds of a considered slight to moderate adverse impact and visual harm. Included some suggestions for mitigation over some parts of the conservation area.
6. Cumbria Tourism - Cumbria Tourism has been contacted by a number of businesses from Cartmel all expressing concern with the proposals to restrict car parking in Cartmel village. Cumbria Tourism strongly urges the public authorities to reconsider the current proposals, and to give higher regard to the local economy and to the many important high quality businesses in Cartmel.
35 Response to the letter drop among residents; advertising and objections
1. 123 responses were received to our letter drop informing the local community of the proposals. Some made comments; some made objections.
2. A summary of these responses and objections now follow together with discussion and recommendations.
3. In the notes below, DYL = double yellow lines and TRO = traffic regulation order.
Cartmel TRO 2017 Responses
Ref RESPONDE No. NT COMMENT 1 Cartmel Strongly supports proposed scheme Resident Main issue for respondent safety of people (and animals) as well as reducing bad congestion. 2 Aynsome Absence of parked cars along Aynsome Road from the traffic calming Road outside the school to Priest Lane and beyond, some vehicles reach Resident excessive speeds exiting the village Vehicles parked along this stretch of road do not act as traffic calming Parking proposals would be acceptable if issue of speeding vehicles is dealt with Plans indicate that should the proposals be successful there would be no restriction’s outside respondents property- could this be considered as a permit holder/short stay parking as respondent feels these would be used for long stay parking Could permit holders/short stay parking at the top of Priest Lane with the junction of Aynsome Road for the same reason? 3 Haggs Lane Plan 5 shows that respondents side of the road (south side) would not have Resident yellow lines on whilst the other side of the Haggs Lane would. Concerned as run a business from their home and need to reverse a trailer from their access which would be difficult with cars parked tight to the access and would like these yellow lines to be reconsidered. 4 Cartmel Supports the proposals Resident 5 Aynsome Supports the proposals Road Would like a 20mph speed limit put in across Cartmel village Resident 6 Bridge Request to have a section of double yellow line removed from outside his Cottages property as currently there is sufficient space to park without blocking the Resident road. 7 Cartmel Support the proposals Resident TRO is essential for Cartmel to cope with the increase in visitors Time limited bays will be an advantage to business dependant on paying visitors 8 Aynsome Does have reservations that the parking restrictions would be Road disadvantageous to some organisations with volunteers Resident 2 hour parking bays at the Priory are fine in principle but cannot see how they will be enforced. Priory users will not be able to get parked. Parking bays need to be revisited in the order outside of the Institute. Will Town End Meadow and Orchard Close have residents parking signs near entrance? A passing slot would be advantageous on the Causeway.
9 Haggs Lane Objects to the proposals Resident Concerned lack of parking will result in falling numbers at the primary 36 school 10 Park View Feels that more fairly priced or free parking was made available there would Resident not be a parking problem Feels the scale of the yellow lines is not the solution and will detract from the beauty of the village & will be detrimental to its economy Double yellow lines on Park View would leave respondent nowhere to park near their home Speeding concerns on Park View and feels removal of parking will increase speeds of vehicles Where will all the residents park as does not feel there is enough residents parking space allocation 11 Holker Estate Supports the proposals It will improve life for local residents and attractiveness of the village to visitors
12 Priest Lane Supports the proposals Resident 13 Allithwaite Supports the proposed TRO Resident 14 Grange Regretful parish meetings held in bad weather resulting in low attendance Resident Notes 67 trader vehicle owners in Cartmel had offered to remove their vehicles form the village and pray for parking on the racecourse Opposes the proposed TRO 15 Headless Feels the proposal is far to excessive, should be a gradual introduction of Close measures. Resident Just put in 1 hour parking bays on Market Square and Devonshire Square and sign the car park better first. Feels the consultation process has been rushed since the decision on yellow lines.
16 Barn Garth Feels report written by Allies & Morrison Urban Practitioners (Dec 2014) Resident and offers by Holker Estate have been ignored Feels two-way traffic flow causes congestion and a one-way system should be trailed Proposed Barn Garth bays should be for resident only 17 Lindale Something needs to be done about the increasing problem of parking but Resident proposal too drastic Access for Fire and Ambulance vehicles must be a priority 18 Cartmel Agrees Cartmel has a small parking problem but does not warrant Resident significant high handed measures Main problem lack of car parking signs Yellow lines should be at pinch points Parents picking children up from primary school will be at disadvantage 18 Aynsome Would like the double yellow lines amending on plan 4 to make access to Road Easdale, Mapledene and Fell View a lot easier and safer Resident 19 Haverthwaite Objects to the proposals Resident Works at the Priory shop and attends the service every Sunday and feels the proposal will result in her abandoning the village 20 Allithwaite Supports the proposals Road Resident 21 Cavendish Objects to the proposals Street Resident 22 Cavendish Supports the proposals Street Resident 37 23 Market Feels that the proposals would not work and should not be implemented Square Concerns regarding residents who do not have off street parking Resident Does not think it will ease congestion 24 The Objects to the proposals Causeway Does not feel that enough spaces have been made available residents Resident Staff should be made to use the car park 25 The Objects to the proposals Causeway Feels that traffic needs regulating at the pinch points in the village Resident Feels that parking bays and signs would spoil the village 26 Market Feels proposal is the best solution possible Square Would like a one-way to be considered Resident Would like no parking on Park View to after the racecourse entrance 27 The Agrees something needs to be done, feels it should be a gentler approach. Causeway Concerns regarding family and friends visiting and where they will park Resident Agrees with restrictions for Market Square
28 Cavendish Objects to the proposals as Carmel will not have enough spaces to Street accommodate residents, their visitors and visitors to the village Resident Think it will drive away visitors
29 Cark Road Feels that the proposals will enhance Cartmel and quality of life Resident 30 The Fully supports the proposals Causeway They have been well thought out Resident 31 Aynsome Fully supports the proposals Lane Feels that the negative visual impact of the double yellow lines will be Resident hugely outweighed by the benefits of the TRO and improve traffic flow 32 Cartmel Supports the proposals Resident Would like the car park minimum tome period increased from 2 hours to 3 hours Feels 1 hour parking bays will be abused unless traffic wardens are in full attendance 33 Cartmel Supports the proposals Resident 34 Cartmel Supports proposal which will help mitigate Cartmel historic and increasing Resident congestion Feels that at the 1st main event held the majority of the community supported that something needed to be done 35 Park View Fully supports the proposals Resident It is essential for future growth 36 Priest Lane Feels the residents parking scheme would not help residents and it would Resident penalise the village of Cartmel on a whole Requests that the permit scheme is re-looked at and reconsidered 37 Cartmel Would like the red strip outside the school reinstated to aid in pedestrians Priory School crossing the road 38 Barn Garth Has concerns about residents parking as her car is not registered to Resident Barngarth address Does not think residents and visitors should share spaces and that no thought has been given to the needs of residents 39 Barn Garth Has concerns about residents parking as her car is not registered to Barn Resident Garth address Does not think residents and visitors should share spaces and that no thought has been given to the needs of residents 40 Barn Garth Strongly approves of the proposals with some reservations Resident The bays to the north side of Devonshire Square, which spoil the square's most attractive aspect; 38 The bays on the south side of this square, outside the Institute (this is a tight and often congested corner); The purple bays alongside the river by Ford Road (very impractical and unattractive for everyday parking - could it just be a Sunday-only spot?); The orange bays in Priest Lane round the corner from L’Enclume, alongside the meadow (where the public bench was clearly not envisaged as hemmed in by parked cars).
41 Barn Garth Proposal partial and unsatisfactory solution to a larger problem Resident Cause disruption and inconvenience to existing full time residents Coaches and heavy goods vehicles should be forbidden to use the ancient centre as access One way order should be considered Barn Garth should be residents parking and residents visitors parking only
42 Cartmel Double yellow lines will be unsightly and spoil the village Employee Would like to see a bigger car park built at Clogger Beck 43 Priest Lane Supports the proposals Resident Would like the double yellow lines extended outside their home
44 Market Against the proposals Square Concerned local economy will be affected Resident Resident of the courtyard off Market Square which has no car access and is very concerned regarding the 2 permit-holder spaces to be allocated on the plans Concerned how the restrictions will impact parking for the school and the doctors Feels the Priory should have provision for services and community events held during the week and for the volunteers The number of permit holder spaces is woefully inadequate for many properties which do not have off street parking in the village
45 Priest Lane Supports the proposals Resident 46 Cartmel Appreciate 2 hour parking slots on Sundays Methodist Concerned about the 1 hour time restriction on the other days of the week Church as functions are held at the church Would it be possible to be considered for 6 permits for parking longer foe one hour? These would kept in the church and not by individuals 47 Cavendish Support the proposals Street Proposals look reasonable and fair but like all TRO’s must be fully enforced Resident 48 Devonshire Feels something should be done about traffic and parking in the village Square Resident and business owner. Resident & From a business owner point of view can only help increase numbers. Business From a residents point of view with no of street parking concerns that there are not enough resident only parking bays and that the bays available are going to be shared with short stay parking. Needs access to load and unload to business and park the business vehicle at night on Devonshire Square and would like this considered. 49 Market Does not believe the proposed traffic regulation order and plans drafted Square take into account all factors of concern to residents of Cartmel Resident Aesthetics of the village will be damaged by double yellow lines Concerns speed will increase 79 cars parking spaces are not enough for residents and visitors leading to cars being forced to park on the racecourse car park. 39 No restrictions at the front of the village hall will lead to inconsiderate parking No private parking at address can they apply for a permit? No details of the proposed car park extension at the racecourse provided will this happened?
50 The Property is a holiday let how do they apply for a permit if no vehicles Causeway registered at the address? Holiday Let Spaces for permit holders/short stay parking would reduce the chance of spaces being available for guest staying at the cottage Failure to provide parking for visitors staying at holiday cottages in the village will reduce the number of guests willing to book. 51 Cartmel Objects to the proposals. Resident Does not feel that meetings up until 16th Dec were poorly advertised leading to low attendance numbers. Against yellow lines and feels they are being rushed through. 52 Barn garth Fully supports with a few exceptions. Resident The spaces allocated to residents in the main parking zones have to be shared with short stay vehicles meaning residents will not be guaranteed a space. Council should consider reclassifying some, if not all these zones to be Residents Permit Holders only. Would properties with drives be entitled to apply for residents parking permits? 53 Park View Supports the overall concept. Resident Parking spaces at the corner of Park View adjacent to Market Square; feels that allowing parking would be counter intuitive to the overall aims of the scheme. The area is the narrowest of the village and is one of the busiest junctions. Many pedestrians use this road to visit amenities. Please do not allow parking at this section 54 Cartmel Agrees to the proposals as the current situation is untenable and is Residents gradually and seemingly inexorably deteriorating even further over time. Regulations, if put in place, must be enforced. 55 Priest Lane Proposals would doubtless go towards alleviating the present problem. Resident Concerns scheme is a short term solution and will leave the problem to be revisited in the long term. One-hour parking rule is simply will not work without vigilant monitoring and policing. It will restrict visitors to the village. Lack of provisions made for deliveries. The nightmare in Market Square is not mentioned regarding the congestion with no solution presented for the coming and going of vehicles, coaches etc. resulting in static chaos. 56 Allithwaite Suggests that the parking by the Priory should be at least 2 hours at a time Road For the individuals who man the Priory bookstall, funeral and weddings not Resident held on a Sunday, many visitors are elderly and use Zimmer frames and wheel chairs and would be discouraged from visiting if there is no parking nearer the village centre Extra parking should be provided by using a strip of a field along the Causeway. 57 Headless Objects to the proposals. Cross It is not the preferred first choice of the CTI. Resident The proposed allocation of the residents parking permits is ill thought out and will lead to conflict. It will deter visitors to Cartmel leading to loss of business and jobs in the village. 58 Cartmel Fully supports the proposed TRO. Resident Has been deterred from using the village for short shopping trips as it is difficult to park and due to snarl ups. 40 Plans can be off putting by the overwhelming number of roads covered in double yellow lines. Some parked cars at the entrance to the village do deter speeding vehicles. It is important to remember the pedestrians who are often forced into the carriageway due to no pavement and parked cars. Would it be possible for a phased introduction with the restrictions? 59 Beckside Traffic situation has been made considerably worse due to staff from the Resident various restaurants and pubs parking their vehicles as near as they can to their place of work. Enlarging the main car park with improved signage would help. In favour of some of the proposals but feel that painting double yellow lines is not in keeping with the beautiful village. Feels the yellow lines will not make a difference unless it is enforced. 60 Cartmel Unworkable and undesirable scheme/proposal. Resident Concerned it will increase speed of vehicles. Village services (schools/doctors) would suffer from the lack parking. Current car park is small and insufficiently accessible to cope with traffic directed to it. The Priory would suffer from unfriendly parking restrictions. Allocated parking spaces is considerably short of the number of properties without off-street parking and, given the fact that it is proposed that those bays will also be available for short term parking, making life much more difficult for this loving in the centre of the village.
61 Cartmel Supports all the proposed measures in the TRO, with exception of the Resident below: 2 parking places outside the Cartmel Institute must not be placed there as they will impeded access particularly for disabled people 62 Cavendish Objects to the proposals Street Measures will increase traffic rather than restrict visitors search for parking Resident spaces as vehicle movement increase. 79 parking spaces are insufficient. Emissions will increase as cars repeatedly stop and start as spaces become available. 63 Cartmel Concerned about the extensive use of double yellow lines in the proposals. Resident Traders should accept that but using the parking bays and roads in the village they are harming the economy. All traders and their staff should be parked in the car park at the race course Restricted parking areas should be 1-2 hours and for visitors and volunteers at the Priory. Parking spaces should be made available for the Priory volunteers for free in the car park. Residents without off street parking should have “resident only areas”. Clear signing of the car park is essential. Clear, definitive, lined walkways are imperative. To avoid congestion and accidents yellow lines are essential by the primary school but there should be spaces for the parents to park whilst they drop children of at school. 64 Priest Lane Does want the yellow lines as increase in traffic in recent years has made it Resident difficult to get out and about. Concerned that restrictions on parking will enable cars to travel faster. Would like a parking permit for the carers which visit daily. Feels that 1 hour parking would be too restrictive for visitors. 65 Ford Road Supports the proposals Resident Believes it will strengthen the village 66 Aynsome Feels the 79 parking bays for use by residents is woefully inadequate and 41 Road parking bays should be made for residents only. Resident Visitors should be directed to the car park. 67 Barn Garth Support the proposals. Resident Can the bays on Barn Garth and Priest Lane be for residents only? Whatever solution is reached it is imperative that the centre of the village is free from unauthorised parking. Another car park at the south of the village and a further road to the racecourse car park would be a great help.
68 Cartmel Supports the proposals especially the yellow line and permit system. Resident Parking restrictions need to be enforced. Feels that Cavendish Street and Priest Lanes should be one way leaving Market Square and that Clogger Beck should be one way in to the village and The Causeway one way out. This would alleviate the gridlock. 69 Park View Fully support the proposals. Resident 70 Cartmel Supports the proposals. Resident Current parking situation in the village is a real problem as well as making driving through the village being difficult. In the long run the proposals will be beneficial. 71 Park View Fully supports all plans and suggestions. Resident Hope it will help with traffic flow and road safety. 72 Haggs Lane Clear that parking can be an issue in the village, feels that current plans go Resident too far seeking to address this. Yellow lines will have an aesthetic impact on the village. Proposals effectively make the entire village off bounds to visitors. Few parking bays provided are for the use of permit holders offer little opportunity for visitors to park as they will be occupied by resident’s vehicles. Would like the proposals reconsidered applying parking restrictions in key areas such as The Square. 73 Unsworth Against the proposals. Yard The proposals will damage the character of Cartmel - double yellow lines Business will harm the character of the conservation area. The parking restrictions and residential permit scheme is inappropriate for the village – pitifully few on street parking spaces mainly restricted to permit-holding residents or on-hour for other users, it is unlikely that many will be regularly available for short-stay village users. This will seriously damage shop and businesses relying on passing trade. Proposal increases congestions at busy tomes and creates danger for pedestrians during quiet times. An opportunity to improve traffic flow and correct existing problems has been wasted – double yellow lines at pinch points, repaint existing white lines, improve signage to the car park, make Priest Lane access only form Aynsome Road. Consultation has been inadequate – details of the scheme have been withheld to the last minute, consultation conducted through carefully managed “drop-in” events. If implemented this “sledgehammer” approach to overstated problems will damage the economy and character of our special village. 74 Park View Welcomes the changes proposed but objects to 2 parking spaces outside Resident their home. Parked cars at the front of the property have cause access problems to the front door and garden.
75 Beckside Supports some of the yellow line and parking restrictions. Resident Hope scheme would include better signage and a proposal for another car park. 42 A road through to the racecourse from Cark Road would be a great help. Would like further checks made to ensure there would not be difficulties parking outside the village shop on Aynsome Road –concerned this scheme would damage their trade. Concerns regarding parking for the doctors as often there are no available spaces left in the doctors car park and has to park on the road. 76 Devonshire Would like to appeal against the current proposed TRO Square Speaking on behalf of a large number of employees. Business Does not feel that they have been approached by the parish council to discuss parking problems in Cartmel. Less invasive should be employed to preserve the heritage of the beautiful medieval village. Looking at alternative methods such as: car sharing, spaces in the racecourse car park for visitors to the business. 77 Haggs Lane Totally against the proposals. Resident Number of signs and lines will ruin the village. It will make life very difficult for all the residents without private parking. Having to pay to park or walk form the other side of the village is unfair for residents. No parking will increase traffic speed through empty roads. Permits for staff are better than permits for residents. Visitor parking to the main attractions should be issued with permits for certain places instead of parking any old where. Residents should have a right to park by or near their homes. Some businesses need their customers to be able to park near for quick sales. Yellow lines outside the school will make life very difficult to drop children off and may move children to other schools should they get ticketed. 78 Park View Supports the proposals. Resident 79 Grange Objects to the proposals. Resident Has relatives which live in the village with no off street parking and the number of parking spaces available its very limited. When visiting has concerns will have to park beyond the limit of the yellow lines. 80 Cartmel Very concerned that the introduction of timed parking restrictions and Priory PCC double yellow lines will have an adverse effect on visitors to the Priory. Our main problem is parking for adequate periods for volunteers. Whilst the racecourse car park is available, many have equipment etc. that requires their cars to be parked as near to the Priory as possible for times in excess of 1 hour during the week and 2 hours on a Sunday. Request to be supplied with visitors permits so they can be used by the volunteers. 81 The Square The real problem has clearly emerged as occasional inconsiderate parking Resident as or close to “pinch points” preventing smooth vehicles progress though the village. The life blood of the village realise heavily on visitors. The residents, without off street parking, rely on the existing spaces throughout the village in which to park without restriction. The introduction of yellow lines and other time-restricted zones will significantly alter the equilibrium of the entire village and, over time, two things will happen; Firstly the character of the medieval village will change forever because available spaces will be reduced, and with it, visitor numbers and frequency of visits; secondly with restrictions on parking spaces and fewer of them, the balance between residents and many other users will be seriously affected. 82 Headless If another car park does not come about parking on Barn Garth and Cross between the Cockles shop and primary schools needs to be all short stay. 43 Resident Otherwise these spaces will all be taken by resident permit holders restricting parking for the shop and parents dropping off small children at school.
83 Aynsome Protest strongly against the excessive amount of yellow parking restrictions Road lines in the proposals. Resident The use of traffic wardens to enforce the parking restrictions would also seem unwelcome. Instead prefer to see the present white lines repainted or replaced by narrow double primrose lines. Also would like to see as few “No Parking” and “Permit Holder only” Signs as possible. As far as possible every permanent resident should be allowed a parking disc and a guaranteed parking place. If there are any spaces left over these should be allocated to the small businesses in the village. Also believes a one-way traffic system should be tried for a month using Priest Lane and Cavendish Street. Parking in the village should be restricted to residents and business people. 84 Priest Lane The new plans suggested are not ideal for everyone, but a pretty good Resident compromise. I think the double lines will be discreet and the parking bays suitable. From my own home I would prefer not to have a loading bay at the end of the driveway, we often get blocked in by large vans delivering. 85 Market Would be saddened to see the urbanisation of Cartmel by the use of double Square yellow lines. Resident We do feel the proposals for permit holders in Market Square seem both inadequate for residents and over complicated for visitors. With the acceptation of loading bays all bays should be orange and pink in line with the rest of the village (apart from Devonshire Square which provides parking for the Priory Church and the bulk of Cartmel’s retail outlets) The vast majority of visitors to the village spend more than an hour, green parking spaces in The Square do not allow for this. Except Sunday visitors would need to park in the racecourse car park which is currently inadequately promoted or signposted. More should be done to encourage visitors to use this longer stay option which would free spaces throughout the village for resident and short stay parking. 86 Allithwaite Very concerned that the proposed TRO will have an adverse effect on the Road village with negative impacts on employment opportunities and services to Resident therefore object to the proposals. Whilst I agree that some regulation of traffic in the village needs to be established I feel the proposals go too far and will drive away visitors. Fells that the objective of the regulations could be achieved by focusing the parking restrictions purely on the areas that present a problem with better signage provided to direct visitors to the car park at the race course. Perhaps consideration could be given to a more limited scheme to what is proposed initially. 87 Flookburgh Fully support the proposed double yellow lines and parking amendments. Resident Current situation is chaos blocking the free flow of traffic. 88 Cartmel Agrees with the proposals and generally they are well thought out. Resident The yellow lines on Park View stop short of the cemetery entrance and this may displace parking therefore making it difficult for people visiting the ceremony. The proposals allow permit holders or 1 hour parking outside the shop on Aynsome Road. I think several spaces should be restricted to 1hour only and not be available to residents. Customers may go elsewhere if they are unable to park. 44 89 Cartmel Objects to the proposals as it will have a massive impact on the day to day Resident life in Cartmel on residents and businesses. Concerned about the visual impact on entering the village “yellow lines” will have on visitors. Moving people onto the racecourse car park from existing parking in the village will have a detrimental effect as the car park is not at this time expanding. 1 hour parking spaces would not offer enough time to look around and spend time in the village. Yellow lines would potentially speed up traffic in the village. 79 parking bays is not enough for residents and parking permits should not be given to homes with off street parking. A system of yellow lines at critical points should be introduced with better signage to the car park. Parking bays should not have restricted times on them. 90 Unsworth Each part of the TRO that seeks to find a solution to an issue then causes Yard several further problems that the scheme fails to address. Business Allied and Morrison clearly stated in their report that “double yellow lines could harm the character of the conservation area” The TRO will have a catastrophic effect on the economy of the village Traffic speed will increase through the village leading to a reduction of safety that will lead to further unsightly traffic calming measures The primary school will face a chaotic situation with parents trying to get a space to drop-off and pick up children The residents parking schemes is unworkable as the sheer volume of passes available outnumbers the spaces available
91 Market Concerned as unable to walk very far and therefore is unable to park Square anywhere but directly outside property. Resident Would like a dedicated spot near to property due to this. 92 Priest Lane Final proposals are excellent and will reduce significantly most of the Resident dreadful traffic issues 93 Ayside Objects to the proposals Resident The scheme could deter visitors It is an unacceptable concept to deny the ability for people to park in and around the village would offering a council owned viable alternative to protect business owners and visitors to Cartmel. 94 Beckside Proposed traffic scheme put forward seems to be adequate but there are 2 Resident sections of road with no yellow lines, Aynsome Road and Haggs Lane. Without lines in these two sections they would become parking which would cause problems for the people who live there.
95 Cartmel Full support for the order. Resident Traffic and parking situation is becoming increasingly impossible and existing lines are largely ignored. 96 Cartmel Supports the proposals. Resident Growing problem with parking. 97 Park View Fully supports the proposal. Resident 98 Cartmel Support the proposals. Resident Urges the adoption of the TRO without further delay. 99 Barn Garth Against the proposals. Resident Believes it will adversely affect the village for all concerned. Alternative would be to introduce a one-way system and improve signage to the car park.
100 Devonshire Concerned regarding double yellow lines close to property will result in an Square unofficial loading bay at the front of the property. 45 Resident Private area in front of property is used as space for the properties will the DYL’s effect this? Would like a car park at the Priory school end of the village for visitors. 101 Aynsome Proposal will have a negative impact on the village of Cartmel. Road Parking problems can be solved with less extreme measures such as Business repainting current white lines and improving the signage to the carpark. Have not been contacted for their opinion only made aware of the proposals. Concerned regarding the number of permits to be issued to residents and residents visitors. Loading bay on Aynsome Road should be considered as up to 6 deliveries a day with no proposed loading bay will cause congestion. Concerned about the yellow lines at the school with no provision for dropping off or collecting children and congestion will make this dangerous. 102 Cartmel No traffic congestion in the village which does not pass within a matter of Resident and minutes. Business Concerned that the introduction in yellow lines will result in vehicles travelling faster speeds resulting in an accident. 103 Cartmel Yellow lines in a medieval village borders on the edge of ridiculous. Resident There will be more permits than parking spaces so seldom will a space become available. Suggests the proposal is left alone and not implemented. 104 Barn Garth Feels the proposals are a very bad idea. Resident The yellow lines will disfigure the village. The scheme will create no new parking spaces. Teachers and other essential workers will lose their parking. Improved traffic flow means increased speeds. Huge and expensive scheme which could be solved by simply tackling pinch points.
105 The Believes proposals will be extremely detrimental to business. Causeway Has not been approached by the CTI through the process. Business Not enough residential parking. Concerns regarding the safety of pupils attending the primary school and believes student numbers will drop if parents are unable to park to drop- off/collect children. Double yellow lines (primrose or not) have no place in a medieval village. Suggests the evident problems in the village centre are tackled initially and then rolled out if necessary. 106 Beckside Moved out of the village due to the traffic congestion and parking issues as Resident felt it was no longer safe for their children. Believes that yellow lines are the only option to make the village safe again for residents and visitors. The scheme is the only way forward. Would like to see the spaces next to the playground be changed to Playground users only. 107 Aynsome Traffic and parking in Cartmel has reached epic proportions. Road Concerns’ regarding the pollution traffic creates in the village. Resident Believes a second car park is required in the village. The existing car park does not have enough spaces and is expensive. Would like to know how the proposed restrictions will be policed as if they are not they will be abused. Not greatly in favour of yellow lines. 108 Park View No more than 6 houses require on street parking. Petition (6 Regularly you can find 12-20 Cars parked on this road, 2 of which have names) recently been abandoned. There is a great deal of ignorant and inconsiderate parking. 46 Householders would like to see the proposal passed. If it is turned down as a whole would like to see the Park View section brought in as supported by 6 of the properties. 109 Cavendish One vital benefit will be the long overdue parking permits for those residents Street who lack their own parking. Resident The restriction of other parking in the village will certainly increase the congestion and pollution in the centre. Why has the obvious alternative parking area for the proposed parking solution shown in the plan of the CTI report? How can it be possible to allow or even expect huge coaches to enter the medieval square? Obvious solution is to adapt racecourse car park access and entrance. 110 Lindale Why no use is being made anywhere of the time restricted single yellow Resident line, this would allow more generous parking to be available during. Sundays/evenings/non-restricted hours especially during the winter months. Would like a provision made for the drop off/pick up needs of the primary and nursery school. Note that consideration to the special needs of the two Cartmel Churches with respects to congregation for Sunday services; whilst this is welcome it displays non-understanding of the functions of Cartmel Priory. The Priory church is not a 1 day a week wonder but a busy 7 day a week operation. There are relatively few parking slots marked that are short stay only and none along Priest Lane where most Priory volunteers currently park. 111 Unsworth Wholly against the scheme design proposed in the TRO. Yard There are car parking and traffic problems in Cartmel but the scheme Business proposed is not an acceptable solution. The proposals fail to enhance the character of Cartmel, make the village safer and better for pedestrians, improve traffic flow, review parking for residents, businesses and visitors, enhance the Cartmel visitor experience and support and promote local businesses.
112 Haggs Lane We recommend you add Yellow lines in front of Meeting House cottages up Resident to 2 Pitt Garth and leave the part of Haggs Lane opposite 3-6 Pit Garth unlined so that the resident can continue to park there as they have for generations. There is currently very little parking on this stretch of Haggs Lane, occasional visitors to adjacent properties park there at the moment, but no long term parking takes place. When visitors do park directly outside my property (1 Pitt Garth) we find it very difficult to exit our drive safely when using a car and we have had a few very near misses when there is a parked car close to our drive entrance. It is impossible to see oncoming traffic from both directions safely because of the angle of our drive. We believe that there are some very good proposals, but extra parking spaces need to be made available near the centre of the village if Yellow lines are to be the answer to the villages parking and traffic problems.
113 Cartmel Supports the proposals, it is long overdue. Resident Would like to see a complete ban parking in the Market Square, except for deliveries. 114 Cavendish There is no doubt that irresponsible parking is dangerous and seriously Street restricts the flow of traffic, and there is a real fear that if ever a fire broke out Resident in the village fire-engines would be unable to effect easy access. I have read some contributions to the debate that suggest that the primary school will be forced to close as a result of the TRO. I have been involved with primary schools (not in Cartmel) and their expansion and development for thirty years and believe that this scheme will do nothing to cause any detriment whatsoever to the school, and any suggestion that it will do so is based on speculation and not experience. 47 History demonstrates that any voluntary scheme for parking in Cartmel would be ineffective, as it is now, with even 'Keep Clear' signs being ignored. Accordingly, and perhaps sadly, I would strongly endorse the introduction of the proposed scheme in its entirety. 115 Cartmel Believes the scheme is far too wide ranging. Resident It will have a detrimental effect both on the village infrastructure and on the tourism it needs to thrive. Good points are timed parking spaces in Devonshire Square and Market Square, Double yellow lines outside Rogan’s around the Institute, Lines from outside the Mallard tearooms to the bus stop. Concerns there are simply too many yellow lines that continue too far across the village, speed of traffic will increase, not enough parking spaces for residents, doesn’t appear to have been any consideration given to better informal signage welcoming visitors and making clear where the main carpark is, white and yellow lines previously approved have not been repainted. 116 The Objects to the proposals. Causeway If the TRO is implemented we would like to propose that all property owners Resident in Cartmel be entitled to a free on street parking permit plus one for visitors, irrespective of whether they have a vehicle registered to their address as we own another property where our cars are registered. 117 Cartmel Does not have any objections to the proposals. Surgery Does not think the proposals will have a detrimental impact on Cartmel surgery. 118 Allithwaite The village needs a car park on the outskirts of the village. Road Yellow lines marked around the village is not the way to go, there is a fine Resident balance between hindering the movement of local residents and the necessity of the visitors to support the church and the local businesses. 120 Cartmel Supports the proposals. Resident Only concern that without adequate and regular enforcement the scheme will be ineffective. 121 Priest Lane Strong support for the proposals. Resident The traffic movement and parking overload within the village continue to get more difficult every month. Believes the proposals represent a sensible and measured response to the current situation. 122 Field Fully supports the proposals. Broughton Mannering in the Market Square is often restricted due to badly parked Resident vehicles. Once in place, everyone generally accepts the restrictions and gets on with their way of life, as I am sure will be the same in Cartmel.
123 Cartmel Supports the proposals. Resident Success of the parking restrictions will be dependent on rigorous enforcement.
Summary and Recommendations
In total 128 responses were received to the consultation. Approximately 47% of responses were in support of the proposals, 31% of responses objected to the proposals for a variety of reasons and 22% are neither indicating full support nor objecting.
It is noted that Cumbria Constabulary, the Parish Council and Local County Councillor are all in support of the proposals.
48 Cumbria Tourism have raised concerns after being contacted by some local businesses and the Conservation Officer from South Lakeland District Council has concerns regarding the aesthetics of the proposals on historic Cartmel.
A number of concerns were raised within the objections which have been considered in great detail and some amendments to the proposals considered as a result.
Due to concerns regarding the number of total spaces within the squares the following is recommended; o An additional space (5 metres) outside Rogans and Company to allow one additional parking space with the restriction Limited Waiting 8am-6pm Monday - Saturday 1 hour no return within 1 hour and Sunday 2 hours no return within 2 hours; shown in green on the plans.
To reduce the aesthetic impact of the signing in Devonshire Square, by consolidating the parking restriction outside The Larch Tree / Hales the following is recommended to remove the need for 2 parking signs when only one would then be needed; o The bays outside The Larch Tree / Hales are amended to be all of the same restriction; Limited Waiting 8am-6pm Monday - Saturday 1 hour no return within 1 hour and Sunday 2 hours no return within 2 hours; shown in green on the plans.
A large number of the responses in objection were concerned about the amount of available parking spaces for residents within the proposed scheme. The parking restrictions have been reconsidered and a number of amendments are recommended: o 2 additional spaces on Market Square on the north side opposite the fish slabs to be Limited Waiting 1 hour no return within 1 hour 24 hours (permit holders exempt), shown in orange on the plans; o Amendment of the loading bay on Market Square nearest to the Fish Slabs to be omitted and the space amended to be additional Limited Waiting 1 hour no return within 1 hour 24 hours (permit holders exempt) shown in orange on the plans; o Additional 6 spaces on the north side of The Causeway, 2 spaces (12 metres) west of the field gate and 4 spaces (24 metres) east of the field gate to be Limited Waiting 1 hour no return within 1 hour 24 hours (permit holders exempt), shown in orange on the plans.
There were concerns raised about speed of vehicles within Cartmel village. The parking arrangements within the proposals mirror the existing parking that currently occurs. It is not considered the arrangement of parking within the proposals will lead to vehicles speeding within the village. Traffic data monitoring is recommended should the proposals be approved for implementation both before and after the scheme is introduced to allow consideration of speed issues if necessary.
In several locations on the outskirts of the village on Park View and Clogger Beck it is considered that some gaps in the yellow lines can be left. This has a number of benefits; it provides a number of additional parking spaces, more flexibility on the outskirts of the scheme and introduces parking where it is possible vehicle speeds may increase. Therefore it is recommended that in the following locations the double yellow lines are omitted to provide flexibility in parking; o On Park View a length of 46 metres is proposed to be omitted from the Prohibition of Waiting restriction on the west side; o On Clogger Beck a length of 16 metres is proposed to be omitted from the Prohibition of Waiting restriction on the east side opposite its junction with Ford Park; 49 o On Clogger Beck a length of 10 metres is proposed to be omitted from the double yellow lines on the west side adjacent to the properties leaving adequate space for turning into and out of property accesses.
A number of respondents indicated that traffic congestion and parking issues have increased and that something needs to be done to improve flow and parking, however that the proposals were too much. It is considered that the additional parking and flexibility works to alleviate the concerns. It is also recommended that several lengths of double yellow lines be removed from the Order on the outskirts of Cartmel; o On Aynsome Road it is recommended that the Prohibition of Waiting at any time restrictions are omitted from the boundary of properties Barn Rigg / Enerigg House just north of its junction with Priest Lane; o On Haggs Lane it is recommended that the Prohibition of Waiting at any time restriction is omitted on the northern side of the road from the western side of the driveway of the property Springfield in an easterly direction. o On Haggs Lane it is recommended that the Prohibition of Waiting at any time restriction is omitted on the southern side of the road from the western boundary of 1 Meeting House Cottages in an easterly direction.
The responses from the Methodist Church and Cartmel Priory were concerned about parking for events / services when attendants may need longer than 1 hour. There was also concern from some businesses about 1 hour not being long enough for many visitors. As a result it was considered that there could be an amendment to the parking restriction as follows to allow 2 hours parking on all days around Cartmel Priory and he Methodist Church for more flexibility for all: o The restriction Limited Waiting Monday – Saturday 1 hour no return within 1 hour and Sunday 2 hours no return within 2 hours 24 hours (permit holders exempt), shown as purple bays on the plans be amended to Limited Waiting 2 hours no return within 2 hours Full week (permit holders exempt).
Conclusions
Having considered all the responses received those in support plus the consideration of comments and concerns those that overall objected and some where they neither objected nor supported the following is recommended:
That the Traffic Regulation Order and restrictions is made as advertised with the following amendments: o An additional space (5 metres) outside Rogans and Company to allow one additional parking space with the restriction Limited Waiting 8am-6pm Monday - Saturday 1 hour no return within 1 hour and Sunday 2 hours no return within 2 hours, shown in green on the plans;
o The bays outside The Larch Tree / Hales are amended to be all of the same restriction; Limited Waiting 8am-6pm Monday - Saturday 1 hour no return within 1 hour and Sunday 2 hours no return within 2 hours, shown in green on the plans;
o 2 additional spaces on Market Square on the north side opposite the fish slabs to be Limited Waiting 1 hour no return within 1 hour 24 hours (permit holders exempt), shown in orange on the plans;
50 o Amendment of the loading bay on Market Square nearest to the Fish Slabs to be omitted and the space amended to be additional Limited Waiting 1 hour no return within 1 hour 24 hours (permit holders exempt) shown in orange on the plans; o Additional 6 spaces on the north side of The Causeway, 2 spaces (11 metres) west of the field gate and 4 spaces (24 metres) east of the field gate to be Limited Waiting 1 hour no return within 1 hour 24 hours (permit holders exempt), shown in orange on the plans; o On Park View a length of 46 metres is proposed to be omitted from the Prohibition of Waiting restriction on the west side; o On Clogger Beck a length of 16 metres is proposed to be omitted from the Prohibition of Waiting restriction on the east side opposite its junction with Ford Park; o On Clogger Beck a length of 10 metres is proposed to be omitted from the double yellow lines on the west side adjacent to the properties leaving adequate space for turning into and out of property accesses; o On Aynsome Road it is recommended that the Prohibition of Waiting at any time restrictions are omitted from the boundary of properties Barn Rigg / Enerigg House just north of its junction with Priest Lane; o On Haggs Lane it is recommended that the Prohibition of Waiting at any time restriction is omitted on the northern side of the road from the western side of the driveway of the property Springfield in an easterly direction; o On Haggs Lane it is recommended that the Prohibition of Waiting at any time restriction is omitted on the southern side of the road from the western boundary of 1 Meeting House Cottages in an easterly direction; o The restriction Limited Waiting Monday – Saturday 1 hour no return within 1 hour and Sunday 2 hours no return within 2 hours 24 hours (permit holders exempt), shown as purple bays on the plans be amended to Limited Waiting 2 hours no return within 2 hours Full week (permit holders exempt).
51 This page is intentionally left blank THE COUNTY OF CUMBRIA (VARIOUS ROADS, CARTMEL) (TRAFFIC REGULATION) ORDER 20><
Statement of Reasons
Cumbria County Council considers it expedient to propose to introduce parking and traffic restrictions for Cartmel Village in an aim to improve traffic flow and road safety by formalising and restricting parking arrangements.
Cartmel Parish Council through its group Cartmel Townscape Initiative with support of Local Member Sue Sanderson have undertaken extensive consultation across the village with residents and businesses to shape a new Traffic Regulation Order. The Order aims to improve traffic flow and enhance the resident and visitor experience in accessing the village. The overall intentions are to make provision for short term parking, increasing turnover of parking to assist local businesses, formalise existing parking arrangements and make provision for local residents’ without available parking off-street.
Particular consideration has been given to accommodating the Priory on Priest Lane and Methodist Church on Ford Road particularly for Sunday services. Within Market and Devonshire Squares provision for loading, short stay parking and disabled parking has been proposed with allowance for Market days outside The Priory Church.
Resident exemption to some of the short stay parking bays on Barn Garth; Cavendish Street; Devonshire Square; Ford Road; Market Square; Park View; Priest Lane and The Causeway is proposed. Resident exemption aims to assist residents without off street parking available to park within the Village. Zone C1 has been identified where residents providing confirmation of registered vehicle ownership will be able to apply for one named vehicle permit and one annual visitor permit, to cover the following streets/properties;
Barn Garth; Cavendish Street; Devonshire Square; Ford Road; Market Square; Park View; Priest Lane, The Causeway and Rose Bank, Rise Cottage and St Michaels Hove on Aynsome Road.

COUNTY COUNCIL LOCAL COMMITTEE FOR SOUTH LAKELAND
Meeting date: 21st March 2017
From: Corporate Director – Economy and Highways
2016/17 HIGHWAYS DEVOLVED REVENUE AND CAPITAL UPDATE REPORT
1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 This report presents the Highways Revenue and Devolved Capital and Non-Devolved Capital Budget finance reports and updates members as to current progress on these budget lines as detailed in the attached appendices.
2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS
2.1 The County Council met in February 2016 to agree the capital and revenue budget allocations to all Local Committees for the devolved highway maintenance budget.
2.2 Effective and efficient maintenance of the highway network underpins all of the County Council’s corporate strategies.
2.3 There are no equality implications arising out of this report.
3.0 RECOMMENDATION
3.1 That Local Committee note the revenue and capital budget allocations for 2016/17 and the commitments and expenditure recorded to the end of January 2017 and shown in Appendices 1, 2 and 3.
4.0 BACKGROUND
4.1 The attached appendices give details of budget allocations by project and expenditure to date. 4.2 The Highways Revenue budget is showing, at the end of January 2017, expenditure for the year to date of £762,487 against an annual budget of
61 £1,116,725. Members are asked to note the budget line “Other” with a negative budget of £35,287. This represents the brought forward revenue overspend from 2015/16. It is intended that the Better Highways Budget line will be underspent at the end of the financial year to balance out this brought forward overspend and part of the predicted overspend of £50,000 within the gulley cleansing operation. Currently the forecast is showing a predicted overspend of £10,591 at the end of the year. Appendix 1 to this report details spend against revenue lines at the end of January 2017.
4.3 The Highways Devolved Capital Budget is showing, at end of January 2017, expenditure for the year to date of £4,889,395 against an annual budget of £5,576,000. Currently the forecast is showing a predicted overspend of £216,291 at the end of the year. The Minor Drainage Works and Minor Carriageway Patching budget lines are forecast to be overspent by the end of the year, reflecting the local importance attributed to these work streams since the winter storms of 2105/16. Footway schemes have been delivered (or are expected to be delivered) at values less than the original estimates and some named drainage schemes are being deferred into 2017/18. Appendix 2 to this report details spend against individual budget lines at the end of January 2017.
4.4 The Highways Non-Devolved Capital Budget is showing, at end of January 2017, expenditure for the year to date of £2,898,394 against a revised annual budget of £3,034,498. This increase in budget from the original budget allocation of £2,698,332. is due to the additional “Pot Hole” funding of £336,166 received from DfT. Currently the forecast is showing a predicted overspend of £76,924 mainly due to additional works undertaken as part of the Kendal resurfacing works and works undertaken at the end of last financial year as part of the flood recovery. The Capital programme team are managing this overspend as part of the overall Countywide budget. Appendix 3 to this report details spend against individual budget lines at the end of January 2017
5.0 OPTIONS
5.1 This Committee may decide to vire money between budget headings. The Committee is not able to vire money from capital budgets into revenue budgets.
6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS
6.1 Appendices 1 to 3 show the position as at end of January 2017 for the devolved revenue, devolved capital and non devolved capital budgets. It is for Local Committee to allocate resources within the devolved revenue and devolved capital budgets to specified programmes of Highways work.
6.2 The devolved capital budget is forecast to be overspent by a net £216,291. The Highways Network Manager has set out in paragraph 4.3 the reasons for the forecast devolved capital overspend and savings on other schemes which have partially mitigated it.
62 7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
7.1 The recommendation in this report does not contain any legal implications. However, Local Committee could take decisions that have future legal implications. When allocating and moving money between budgets, Local Committee must follow the rules set by the Council following its consideration of the ‘Revenue Budget 2016/17 and Medium Term Financial Plan (2016-19) and Draft Capital Programme (2016/2021)’ report on 18 February 2016 and any such additional restrictions set by Cabinet and/or Council regulating the use of such funds.
8.0 CONCLUSION
8.1 At this stage, both the devolved Highways Revenue and Capital budgets are forecast to be close to budget at the financial year end.

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 This report provides the notes of the meeting of the Highways and Transportation Working Group (the Working Group) held on 21st February 2017 and recommends that the Local Committee notes the content of the Minutes.
2.0 POLICY POSITION, BUDGETARY AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS AND LINKS TO CORPORATE STRATEGY
2.1 The policy position, links to corporate strategy, and the budgetary implications are set out in the individual Working Group reports previously circulated to Members.
3.0 RECOMMENDATION
3.1 that Local Committee note the Minutes of the Working Group meeting of 21st February 2017 attached as Appendix 1.
4.0 BACKGROUND
4.1 The Minutes of the Working Group held on 21st February 2017 are attached to this report at Appendix 1.
4.2 The Working Group received a presentation from Jayne Kendall, Clerk to Ulverston Town Council informing the Working Group of a scheme they were pursuing for the reopening of a disused railway line as a footpath and cycleway. The proposed route, runs from the Cumbria Coast main line at Plumpton Junction into the Glaxo Smith Kline Pharmaceutical factory adjacent to the Ulverston Canal.
73 Ms Kendall explained that Network Rail would not sell the land to the Town Council as it could have a potential use for the line in the future. The Town Council was prepared in principle to lease the former trackbed and was awaiting the terms of the license.
Members of the Working Group very much welcomed the initiative and invited Ms Kendall to return to a future meeting of the Working Group to inform of progress.
4.3 The Working Group received a presentation from the Programme Manager on the Infrastructure Recovery Programme 2017-18.
He began by advising of the approach developed since February 2016 based on using the Highways Strategy and focussing on the asset management approach. In 2016-17 work totalling £25m was being delivered through the Infrastructure Recovery Programme, as well as the regular capital programme of investment. The Working Group was advised that the delivery of the Highways Strategy was being combined with the Local Committee’s devolved programmes and PRN programmes.
As part of the focus on resilience a carriageway design guide had been developed for roads with low traffic.
The Programme Manager also advised of the new Highways Integrated Management System (HIMS) which would be going live on 20 March. He gave a demonstration of the level of data members would be able to tap into, including photographs of individual gullies, which would also be available to members of the public. The Programme Manager advised that there were plans by the Communications Team to publicise the new HIMS system, and that staff would be provided with training.
Other innovation work being progressed included the introduction of bridge cameras. A means of providing valid information about the condition of bridges when river levels were high/fast flowing was also being looked into.
Members very much welcomed the introduction of the new HIMS system and the benefits it would bring in helping to develop highways maintenance programmes of work. They thanked the Programme Manager for his excellent presentation and expressed their support and encouragement for the development of the new system.
4.4 The Working Group received a briefing note from the Team Leader Traffic Management updating and informing the Working Group on progress made to date on the Cartmel Consolidation Order. The Local Committee are considering the recommendations resulting from the statutory consultation under another Agenda item.
4.5 The Working Group reviewed the proposed list of schemes for the 2017/18 devolved capital programme together with indicative programmes of work for 2018/19 and 2019/20. It was agreed that the briefing paper be noted and that a revised programme of work for 2017-18, incorporating the schemes listed
74 in the 2018-19 indicative programme of work, be presented to the next meeting of the Local Committee. A report to this Local Committee is presented under another Agenda item.
4.6 The Highways Network Manager presented a report seeking approval to the Local Committee’s devolved highways revenue allocations for 2017-18. The overall draft allocation of £1,152,012 was the same as the allocation received in the 2016-17 financial year, however it was proposed to vary the block allocations slightly to better reflect the work activities, particularly around gulley cleansing and tree maintenance work. A report to this Local Committee is presented under another Agenda item.
4.7 The Working Group received a briefing paper from the Highway Network Manager informing of progress made in delivering the 2016-17 Devolved Capital Programme since its last meeting.
It was agreed that the briefing paper be noted, and that a further update be presented at the next Working Group meeting.

The outcome of the assessment was for some minor improvements to be made to enhance the existing informal crossing point on Kendal Road between the two school sites.
The local member advised of a planning application for a further 80 homes in the area and support by the Kirkby Lonsdale Parking Group for a priority giveway system along Kendal Road. In discussion members advised of potential funding streams for this locally important scheme. It was agreed that the aspiration which this report seeks to deliver for the residents of Kirkby Lonsdale be supported.

Members of the Working Group very much welcomed the initiative and invited Ms Kendall to return to a future meeting of the Working Group to inform of progress.
50 INFRASTRUCTURE RECOVERY PROGRAMME 2017-18
The Working Group received a presentation from the Programme Manager on the Flood Resilience Programme 2017-18.
He began by advising of the approach developed since February 2016 based on using the Highways Strategy and focussing on the asset management approach. In 2016-17 work totalling £25m was being delivered through the Infrastructure Recovery Programme, as well as the regular capital programme of investment. The Working Group was advised that the delivery of the Highways Strategy was being combined with the Local Committee’s devolved programmes and PRN programmes.
As part of the focus on resilience a carriageway design guide had been developed for roads with low traffic. Local issues on the network, for example on the A6 at
78 Levens and the A65 flooding below The Helm, were being addressed. The local member for Kent Estuary advised of aspirations for a cycleway at Levens but that disappointingly there was no footway part way along the proposed route. The Programme Manager agreed to look into this issue.
The local member for Kendal South referred to the problems experienced in 2015 during Storm Desmond by residents who were unable to leave their homes because of the impact of flooding on smaller country roads/lanes. In responding the Programme Manager advised of the new Highways Integrated Management System (HIMS) which would be going live on 20 March and gave a demonstration of the level of data members would be able to tap into, including photographs of individual gullies, which would also be available to members of the public. The Programme Manager advised that there were plans by the Communications Team to publicise the new HIMS system, and that staff would be provided with training.
Other innovation work being progressed included the introduction of bridge cameras. A means of providing valid information about the condition of bridges when river levels were high/fast flowing was also being looked into.
Members very much welcomed the introduction of the new HIMS system and the benefits it would bring in helping to develop highways maintenance programmes of work. They thanked the Programme Manager for his excellent presentation and expressed their support and encouragement for the development of the new system.
51 CARTMEL CONSOLIDATION AND TRAFFIC REGULATION ORDER
Consideration was given to a briefing paper by the Team Leader, Traffic Management updating and informing the Working Group on progress made to date on the Cartmel Consolidation Order.
The briefing paper outlined the reasons for the proposed restrictions which had been advertised on 2nd February 2017. There had been a spread of responses received so far, as well as an E petition asking the Council to allow time for a proper consultation and a revised proposal. The formal consultation was due to end on 24th February 2017 with a full report, putting forward recommendations in the light of the responses received, to be presented to the Local Committee at its meeting on 21 March 2017.
AGREED that the briefing paper be noted.
52 DEVOLVED CAPITAL SCHEMES 2017/18 AND BEYOND.
In January the Highways Network Manager had sought comments on lists of proposed devolved capital schemes for 2017-18, as well as indicative schemes for 2018-19 and 2019-20. In the light of the feedback received he tabled a proposed 2017-18 devolved programme of works, together with indicative programmes of work for the following two financial years. As well, he tabled the proposed block allocations for 2017-18.
79 The Highways Network Manager thanked members for their feedback and advised that progress had been made in identifying schemes which could be delivered through the Infrastructure Recovery Programme (IRP). The volume of work being delivered through the IRP had effectively resulted in the delivery of both the 2017-18 and 2018-19 programmes of work in the coming financial year, with the exception of one scheme. Members had also identified schemes of work not previously known and ways of funding them through the pot holes budget were being looked into.
In discussion clarity was sought on the budget for Members Highway Priority Works and whether this was financed through revenue or capital funding. Members acknowledged the challenges to be faced around the scheduling of works and the co-ordination of any closure and diversion, as well as simply delivering the volume of work in the coming financial year. They also asked for schemes to be assessed in the Grange, Kendal Strickland and Fell, and Kent Estuary Divisions.
AGREED that the briefing paper and appendices circulated at the meeting be noted, and that a revised programme of work for 2017-18, incorporating the schemes listed in the 2018-19 indicative programme of work, be presented to the next meeting of the Local Committee.
53 DRAFT DEVOLVED HIGHWAYS REVENUE ALLOCATIONS 2017/18
The Highways Network Manager presented a report seeking approval to the Local Committee’s devolved highways revenue allocations for 2017-18. The overall draft allocation of £1,152,012 was the same as the allocation received in the 2016-17 financial year, however it was proposed to vary the block allocations slightly to better reflect the work activities, particularly around gulley cleansing and tree maintenance work.
RECOMMENDED that the devolved highways revenue allocations for 2017-18, as set out in the appendix to the report, be approved.
54 CAPITAL PROGRAMME AND INFRASTRUCTURE RECOVERY PROGRAMME UPDATE 2016/17
Consideration was given to a briefing paper by the Highways Network Manager informing of progress made on delivering the 2016-17 devolved Capital Programme since the last meeting of the Working Group.
The local member for Cartmel commented that local residents in Flookburgh – Moorside were thrilled with the footway resurfacing that had been completed. Mention was also made of the uneven pavements in Kendal Town Centre, and of indentations in the road outside County Offices, Kendal.
AGREED that the report be noted.
80 55 COMMUNITY ROAD CLOSURE PROCESS DURING FLOODING
The Chair reported that in December 2015 during the floods roads in a dangerous condition had been closed informally by local people to prevent traffic travelling along them. Highways staff had been unable to get through to close the roads themselves and the Chair asked that some thought be given to a process which would allow for local initiatives in such circumstances.
The Highways Network Manager advised of the procedures in place in the event of a serious incident occurring and a possible solution to the situation described.
AGREED that consideration be given to this issue and feedback given at a future meeting of the Working Group.
56 SCHOOL ROAD SAFETY ASSESSMENT - KENDAL ROAD, KIRKBY LONSDALE
A report by the Corporate Director – Economy and Highways presented the outcome of a school road safety assessment on Kendal Road, Kirkby Lonsdale between Queen Elizabeth School and Cedar House former school site. The outcome of the assessment was for some minor improvements to be made to enhance the existing informal crossing point on Kendal Road between the two school sites.
The local member advised of a planning application for a further 80 homes in the area and support by the Kirkby Lonsdale Parking Group for a priority giveway system along Kendal Road. In discussion members advised of potential funding streams for this locally important scheme.

COUNTY COUNCIL LOCAL COMMITTEE FOR SOUTH LAKELAND
Meeting date: 21st March 2017
From: Corporate Director – Economy and Highways
SOUTH LAKELAND LOCAL COMMITTEE DEVOLVED HIGHWAYS CAPITAL PROGRAMME 2017/18 AND BEYOND
1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 Members are asked to approve recommendations for the Local Committee’s devolved highways capital programme 2017/2018 including prioritised lists of schemes, which will form the basis of the Local Committee’s devolved highways capital programme for 2017/2018 and provide a core programme for 2018/19 and 2019/20, subject to annual review. The allocation for 2017/2018 is £5,007,000 including the £571,000 allocation for South Lakeland from the £2.5m additional capital allocation. This is a reduction from £5,061,000 in 2016/17 although this is compensated by the increase in the non devolved pot hole funding allocation for South Lakeland by £142,000 to £478,000 in 2017/18. The summary of the recommended devolved capital budget for 2017/2018 is shown at Appendix 1.
2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS
2.1 This report supports the aims and objectives aims of the Council Plan, Corporate Strategy and the Local Transport Plan through the efficient planning and delivery of the Highways and Transport Programme in the South Lakeland area.
2.2 The Programme complies with the Strategic Equality Assessments for the Highways and Transport Service. Individual schemes will be assessed against equality criteria as appropriate.
83 3.0 RECOMMENDATION
3.1 That Local Committee is recommended to approve the devolved highways capital programmes for 2017/2018 as set out in the Appendices to this report and to note the indicative programmes for 2018/19 and 2019/20.
4.0 BACKGROUND
4.1 This report makes recommendations for the Local Committee’s devolved highways capital programme 2017/2018 including prioritised lists of schemes, which will form the basis of the Local Committee’s devolved highways capital programme for 2017/2018 and provide a core programme for future years, subject to annual review. The allocation for 2017/2018 is £5,007,000 including the £571,000 allocation for South Lakeland from the £2.5m additional capital allocation. This is a reduction from £5,061,000 in 2016/17 although this is compensated by the increase in the non devolved pot hole funding allocation for South Lakeland by £142,000 to £478,000. The summary of the recommended devolved capital budget for 2017/2018 is shown at Appendix 1.
Non-Principal Road (NPRN) Structural Maintenance Programme.
4.2 This programme is intended to maintain and improve the condition of the Non-Principal Road Network (NPRN), including:
(a) Carriageway, drainage and surface treatment schemes;
(b) Footway and cycleway schemes,
(c) Minor structural maintenance works to support the work of the Better Highways Teams comprising programmed works for permanent repairs that enhance the life of the highway asset.
(d) Road lighting column replacement works. 4.3 As in previous programmes of NPRN work, it is intended to continue with extensive carriageway patching and surface treatment work as a priority, to invest in a greater proportion of the network utilising the available funding and seal previously patched carriageways against deterioration due to weathering and the ingress of surface water.
4.4 The capital works programme has been developed to manage the significant level of capitalised revenue budget. In this regard, a large amount of Minor Structural Maintenance work within Carriageways, Footways and Drainage areas has been included. These works programmes will enable greater flexibility to address the widespread surface and drainage failures across the area.
4.5 The full list of proposed Surface Treatment beds for 2017/2018 is shown in Appendix 2. Defective areas of carriageway on these sites have been
84 prepared during 2016/17 from the Pre-Surface Dressing patching budget. This preparatory work includes hand patching, machine inlay and overlays and essential drainage work.
4.6 The proposed list of carriageway structural maintenance schemes set out in Appendix 2 has been developed from local knowledge, condition surveys, Member and customer reports and has been prioritised in accordance with the County Council’s Priority Assessed Schemes scoring system. The Infrastructure Recovery Programme (IRP) is also delivering carriageway structural maintenance schemes. Where schemes had been previously identified within the devolved capital forward programme and the area concerned meets the requirements for IRP funding then the IRP will be funding these works. This has had the effect of accelerating the forward programme of works previously shared with Local Committee in May 2016 to the extent that most of the forward programme previously identified for 2017/18 and 2018/19 will now be delivered during 2017/18 via either Local Committee devolved funding or IRP funding.
4.7 The proposed list of drainage schemes set out in Appendix 2 have been identified from the experience of flooding through the winter storms of 2015/16, repeat inundations and drainage failures. This list of priorities continues to address areas of concern and the resolution of these drainage problems will preserve the structural integrity of the highway. Conveying water away improves safety, particularly in winter, and reduces longer term maintenance costs.
4.8 The proposed list of footway schemes is shown at Appendix 2
4.9 The road lighting column replacement budget will be targeted at columns and underground cable networks in poor condition requiring replacement.
Minor Improvement Works
4.10 This programme was previously referred to as the Annual Package of Measures (APM). It is for small highway improvement schemes (estimated cost less than £50,000), that will assist delivery of the County Council’s wider transport objectives set out in the Cumbria Local Transport Plan.
4.11 Such schemes can be broadly classified as follows, though many schemes will target more than one of the various classifications, i.e.:
(a) Public transport infrastructure schemes e.g. bus stop improvements; bus shelter grants to Parish and District Councils or bus priority measures.
(b) Local safety schemes i.e. schemes that will contribute to the County Councils objectives of improving road safety and reducing injuries caused by road traffic collisions.
(c) Walking and cycling schemes i.e. safer road crossings; new footways or cycle facilities, footway widening schemes, dropped kerbs to improve accessibility, removal of barriers to walking and cycling etc.
85 (d) Traffic management and traffic calming schemes, including traffic regulation orders, road widening, provision of passing spaces, etc. 4.12 As in recent years, the programme has been ‘top-sliced’ for the speed monitoring.
4.13 This budget also incorporates the Members Highway Works budget which has been set at £6,000 per division. This budget is intended to provide members with the opportunity to fund those highways works within their division that they consider have the greatest priority.
5.0 OPTIONS
5.1 Members may approve the Provisional Highways Devolved Capital Programme of Works for 2017/2018 or:
5.2 Members may suggest changes to the proposed programmes.
6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS
6.1 The Non-Principal Road Structural Maintenance and Minor Improvement Works programmes are devolved to this local committee to determine and deliver in accordance with the Council’s policies. The budget was set by Council on 16 February 2017.
6.2 All elements of work undertaken by this local committee must seek to meet the overall objectives as laid out in the current Local Transport Plan and this Council’s corporate policies.
6.3 The government’s capital allocation for highways and transport is not ring fenced and as such it is at each authority’s discretion as to how available funding is utilised. In this light and with reference to considerations identified in this report, it is important to have properly considered and prioritised lists of candidate schemes.
7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
7.1 The County Council is under a statutory duty to maintain the highway and in certain circumstances can be held liable for injury, damage or loss caused to users of the highway as a result of failure to take reasonable precautions to secure their safe use of the highway. The objective allocation of scarce highway maintenance resources on the basis of demonstrable need, targeted at known defective areas of highway liable to give rise to potentially hazardous defects, supports the Council’s statutory defence against third party claims. It is understood that our procedures and priorities are compliant with our insurer’s requirements. There are no other direct legal implications.
86 8.0 CONCLUSION
8.1 This report details the draft programmes of devolved highways Capital works, under each of the different budget headings, for 2017/2018, and has taken full account of this Local Committee’s priorities.

The allocation for 2017/2018 is £1,152,012 which is the same as the allocation received in the 2016/2017 financial year. The summary of the recommended devolved revenue allocations for 2017/2018 is shown at Appendix 1.
2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS
2.1 This report supports the aims and objectives aims of the Council Plan, Corporate Strategy and the Local Transport Plan through the efficient planning and delivery of the Highways and Transport Programme in the South Lakeland area.
2.2 The Programme complies with the Strategic Equality Assessments for the Highways and Transport Service.
3.0 RECOMMENDATION
3.1 Local Committee approve the devolved highways revenue allocations for 2017/2018 as set out in the Appendix to this report.
4.0 BACKGROUND
4.1 This report makes recommendations for the Local Committee’s devolved highways revenue allocations for 2017/2018. The allocation for 2017/2018 is
97 £1,152,012 which is the same as the allocation received in the 2016/2017 financial year. The summary of the recommended devolved revenue allocations for 2017/2018 is shown at Appendix 1.
4.2 The overall allocation for 2017/2018 is the same as 2016/2017 but it is proposed that the block allocations are varied slightly to better reflect the work activities, particularly surrounding gully cleansing and tree maintenance work. Tree maintenance has not previously received an identified budget with works being funded from the verge maintenance budget. However, the costs incurred by the tree maintenance works have effectively reduced the monies available to undertake full width cuts later in the verge maintenance season. The funding for this work will be met by reducing the Better Highways budget line. It is not expected that there will be a reduction in service by the Better Highways teams due to the increased capital monies available through the Pot Hole fund.
4.3 The revenue allocations are intended to support routine maintenance activities to maintain the condition of the Non-Principal Road Network (NPRN), including:
(a) Maintenance inspections and consequential repairs;
(b) Responding to calls for service for highway maintenance from Members and the public;
(c) Undertaking the gulley cleansing programme;
(d) Undertaking the verge maintenance programme and responding to trees which require urgent attention;
(e) Undertaking road lighting inspections and maintenance and;
(f) Undertaking traffic signal maintenance.
5.0 OPTIONS
5.1 Members may approve the Provisional Highways Devolved Revenue Allocations for 2017/2018 or:
5.2 Members may suggest changes to the proposed allocations.
6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS
6.1 The Non-Principal Road revenue maintenance works are devolved to this local committee to determine and deliver in accordance with the Council’s policies. The budget devolved to Local Committee was set by the Council on 16 February 2017.
6.2 All elements of work undertaken by this local committee must seek to meet the overall objectives as laid out in the current Local Transport Plan and this Council’s corporate policies.
98 7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
7.1 When allocating and moving money between budgets Local Committee must follow the rules set by the Council following its consideration of the ‘Revenue Budget 2017/18 and Medium Term Financial Plan (2017-2022) and Draft Capital Programme (2017-2022)’ Report on 16 February 2017 and any such additional restrictions set by Cabinet and or Council regulating the use of such funds.
8.0 CONCLUSION
8.1 This report details the draft allocations for the devolved highways revenue works, under each of the different budget headings, for 2017/2018.

COUNTY COUNCIL LOCAL COMMITTEE FOR SOUTH LAKELAND
Meeting date: 21 March 2017
From: Corporate Director – Economy and Highways
MEMBERS HIGHWAY PRIORITY WORKS 2016/2017
1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 This report updates the South Lakeland Local Committee of the Members Highways Priority Works schemes to be funded via devolved 2016/2017 highway budgets for South Lakeland.
1.2 Members have in previous reports been asked to identify possible schemes for funding allocation to be made before the September Local Committee to allow for planning and programming and to enable delivery. Therefore all new requests although added to the appendix for approval of funding in 2016/2017 will not be deliverable on the ground in this financial year. Work can begin on them however they will only be deliverable subject to budget carry over.
1.3 Members are asked to recall and note that going forward identification of schemes in 2017/2018 has been agreed to be approved by July Local Committee to enable necessary planning and programming.
2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS
2.1 The allocation of funding to Member Division allows for consideration of divisional priorities enabling funding to meet local aspirations and relates directly to supporting delivery of Community Strategy and the following Council Plan priorities;
To enable communities to live safely and shape services locally
To protect and enhance Cumbria’s world class environment
103 To provide safe and well maintained roads and an effective transport network
To promote sustainable economic growth, and create jobs
To be a modern and efficient council
2.2 The Local Committee is able to vire funding between budget lines during the course of the financial year, subject to Corporate Policy and Service Standards. The Committee is not able to vire money from capital budgets into revenue budgets.
2.3 There are no equality implications contained in this report.
3.0 RECOMMENDATION
3.1 That Local Committee approves the current Members Highways Priority Works Programme 2016/2017 (“the Programme”) set out in Appendix 1.
3.2 That Local Committee agree that the following schemes which include Traffic Regulation Orders are approved to be progressed to statutory consultation and advertising in due course;
3.2.1 Cartmel – Restricted Zone in conjunction with Cartmel Townscape Initiative
3.2.2 Kendal Nether – Shap Road and Appleby Road Kendal
3.2.3 Lakes – Greenbank Road Prohibition of Driving, Red Bank Road, Grasmere and Underloughrigg Road
3.2.4 Sedbergh and Kirkby Lonsdale – Binfold Croft, Horse Market and Lunefield Drive, Kirkby Lonsdale and Maryfell, Sedbergh
3.2.5 Kendal Highgate – Hazelwood/Underwood Junction, Greenside, Romney Road and various junctions off Romney Road.
4.0 BACKGROUND
4.1 At its meeting on 18 May 2016, the Local Committee approved a budget for Members Highway Priority Works. The Programme allows £6,000 for each Division which is to be spent on capital highway related works enabling members to have a greater influence on small highway improvement priorities within their Division. 4.2 Appendix 1 to this report shows Members Highway Priorities with outstanding schemes at the top and new requests for allocation for 2016/2017 schemes highlighted below for each division. All outstanding schemes are being progressed to completion as quickly as possible and all
104 enquiries should be directed to the Team Leader for Traffic Management in the first instance. 4.3 Members are asked to note that Traffic Regulation Orders generally take a minimum of 6-9 months to deliver depending on whether initial consultation is required. Any new requests for Traffic Regulation Orders may be subject to design and consultation but may well need to be considered for delivery on the ground in the next financial year 2017/2018 subject to future funding being available. 4.4 Members are asked to note that where a Traffic Regulation Order forms a request for approval in Appendix 1 that there is agreement in principle of any such scheme and that there will be subsequent progression to statutory consultation and advertising of the relevant Order. The outcome of any statutory consultation and advertisement of any traffic regulation Order will be reported to the Local Committee for the required approval to implement the Traffic Regulation Order in line with the County Council constitution.
5.0 OPTIONS
5.1 Approve the recommendations in paragraphs 3.1 and 3.2 above.
5.2 Not approve the recommendations in paragraphs 3.1 and 3.2.
6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS
6.1 Funding of £6,000 per division (18 in number) for the Divisional Highways Priority Works Programme has been allocated in the Local Committee’s devolved highways capital programme for 2016/2017 giving a total allocation of £108,000. A number of new schemes identified are shown as highlighted in appendix 1 for approval and commitment. Approval of the scheme in Appendix 1 would result in the budget remaining for commitment being £16,400 with a total of £91,600 having been approved for the listed schemes. 6.2 Appendix 1 also shows progress on approvals from previous years where appropriate. These are not allowed for in the balance remaining totals as they were to be met from the 2015/16 devolved highways capital budget. Approval to carry forward of underspent devolved highways capital budget from 2015/16, including Divisional Highways Priority Works was agreed by Council on 16 June. 6.3 If Local Committee decides to amend or not to approve the current Members Highways Priority Works Programme 2016/2017 (recommendation 3.1) any expenditure already incurred or contracts already entered into as a result of previous decisions by Local Committee cannot be de-committed. 6.4 If Local Committee decides to agree recommendation 3.2 for schemes to commence in a future financial year, it would be subject to Local Committee identifying expenditure from the relevant year’s budget. If after the current financial year end Council decides to agree carry forward of underspending, including underspending on Members priority schemes, this funding could be allocated to these schemes.
105 7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
7.1 There are no direct legal implications to this report, other than procedures for either Permanent or Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders to be put in place (where applicable), in relation to the Programme of works detailed in Appendix 1 in accordance with the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and where necessary these will be included in separate reports to the Working Group and Local Committee, which will then detail the relevant legal implications.
8.0 CONCLUSION
8.1 Members are asked to note the requirement for early identification of scheme allocations, particularly for any future budget allocations, to allow effective programming and delivery of schemes.

Meeting date: 21st March 2017
From: Corporate Director – Health Care and Community Services
COMMUNITIES ACTIVITY AND BUDGET
1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 This report provides information and offers recommendations to South Lakeland Local Committee for approval from the following working groups;
Strategic Planning Working Group – 7th February 2017
Children & Young People’s Working Group – 21st February 2017
1.2 This report also provides Local Committee with an update on previously agreed activity supported with the latest financial statement.
2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS
2.1 The Local Committee’s 2015-16 proposed cash limited budget was agreed by County Council on 19th February 2015. The Local Committee is able to vire funding between budget lines during the course of the financial year, subject to Corporate Policy and service standards. The Local Committee is not able to vire money from capital budgets into revenue budgets.
2.2 Improved locality working is one of the ways the council is delivering on its priorities. The county council vision, included in the Council Plan, sets out that it will be ‘… an effective and efficient organisation that delivers the best possible services for the people of Cumbria within its available resources, protects the most vulnerable, and works with others in the community to shape services and help find solutions for the future.’ The approach and work of the Local Committee directly contributes to this vision.
2.3 The locally devolved funding is available for Local Committees to allocate within the area to support positive outcomes, targeted and mainstream, designed to improve outcomes for the communities of South Lakeland. This funding can be targeted to initiate new activity or to enhance/compliment existing provision according to locally determined need.
117 2.4 The South Lakeland Area Plan sets out the four targeted priorities for the area, which are Health and Well-Being, Education and Skills, Economic Development and Transport, and details how the Council is delivering its services in support of them.
2.5 A separate Equality Impact Assessment is not required as equality issues are dealt with at a project level.

4.0 BACKGROUND
4.1 The discretionary 2016/17 budget delegated to Local Committee is detailed at Appendix A, which provides the latest financial position including the committed expenditure and remaining unallocated resources up to 31st July 2016. Of the total original Communities revenue budget delegated to Local Committee, £211,060 has been allocated as discretionary revenue budget and £228,628 earmarked to specific activities.
4.2 The Children and Young People’s Working Group held its meeting on the 7th December which is detailed at Appendix K. The update regarding the A2B Now Transport Scheme was presented (Appendix T) which indicates that the current trajectory of spend will be no more than £30K in this financial year.
4.3 The Strategic Planning Working Group held its meeting on the 7th February which is detailed at Appendix B.
4.4 The Monitoring Report at Appendix U sets out previous decisions taken by the Local Committee which enables members to track progress against agreed outcomes and ensure that regular performance reporting is taking place.
4.5 The 2017/18 Local Committee budget was agreed at Full Council at its meeting on 16th February 2017. The delegated budget lines are streamlined to afford Local Committees the opportunity to determine specific allocations in accordance with their individual Area Plans.
4.6 As part of their budget setting process, South Lakeland Local Committee holds an annual Business Planning meeting to consider the most effective way to allocate the devolved funding in line with the Local Committee Priorities. The proposed workshop to consider the 2017/18 budget allocation will be scheduled for May/June 2017 to feed into the next appropriate local committee meeting. However this timeframe is problematic as the funding for the Money Advice Service, School Crossing Patrol Service and A2B Now Service need to be considered and agreed prior to 31 March 2017 to enable the contracts to be let. 120 4.7 Full Council agreed an amount of £47,550 as part of South Lakeland Local Committee’s delegated budget which can be used to provide a grant to CAB to provide debt and money advice and in particular focus on;
Providing support for individuals in debt to an extent where their home or liberty are at risk or those whose debts are seriously affecting the health and wellbeing of the individual/family
Putting in place preventative activity that raises awareness of how to avoid debt, educates people about effective budgeting and money management; and supports people to maximize their income
4.8 Local Committee is asked to consider whether it wishes to confirm this funding to CAB for the above services, and to receive annual reports updating on performance.
5.0 OPTIONS
5.1 The Local Committee may choose to support the recommendations to a greater or lesser extent subject to available funding and in line with corporate policy and service standards.
6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS
6.1 It is for Local Committee to determine the allocation of the discretionary budget subject to the Council’s policies and objectives.
6.2 Local Committee has unallocated £13,994 within its General Provisions budget. If Local Committee decide to agree recommendations 3.3 to 3.9 and 3.12 £4,100 would be de-committed, £9,657 transferred from the School Crossing budget and a further £27,501committed to schemes leaving £250 available for future commitment.
6.3 If Local Committee decide to agree recommendation 3.4 the School crossing patrol budget would be fully allocated.
6.4 If Local Committee decide to agree recommendations 3.5 and 3.17 the total amount committed to the new sports hub at Kendal Rugby Union Football club would be £30,000.
6.5 If Local Committee decide to agree recommendations 3.10 and 3.11 the Waste Prevention funding would be fully allocated.
6.6 If Local Committee decide to agree reccomendation 3.13 the ringfenced amount within the 2017/18 for money advice would be fully allocated.
6.7 The total 2017/18 Local Committee discretionary budget agreed by Council is £211,835 of which £19,796 was identified for School Crossing Patrols. If Local Committee decide to agree recommendation 3.14 to commit £29,894 to school crossing patrols 2017/18, £10,098 would need to be allocated from elsewhere within the 2017/18 discretionary budget. The quotation from the service provider (appendix J) indicates that 3 sites are currently vacant and that Local Committee
121 will continue to be charged only for kerbside hours delivered. The underspend on the budget allocated to the 2016/17 school crossing service level agreement is forecast to be approximately £10,000, however, any decision by Council whether or not to carry this underspending forward to the 2017/18 budget would not be made until after the end of the 2016/17 financial year.
6.8 If Local Committee decide to agree recommendation 3.15 the Communities Grants budget would be fully committed.
6.9 Local Committee has £46,856 unallocated within its 0-19 Services budget and a further £25,000 earmarked for the Brathay Trust Resilience project. If Local Committee decide to agree recommendations 3.17 to 3.26 the 0-19 Service budget would be fully allocated.
6.10 The total 2017/18 Local Committee discretionary budget agreed by Council is £211,835 of which £77,021 was identified for 0-19 Services. If Local Committee decide to agree recommendation 3.27 £30,000 from the 2017/18 discretionary budget would be committed to the A2B Now Scheme for 2017/18.
7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
7.1 The Local Committee is authorised to consider and accept the recommendations.
8.0 CONCLUSION
8.1 This report provides the Local Committee with a comprehensive update on the functions and budgets relating to Communities and delegated to the Local Committee.

Notes of the meeting of South Lakeland Local Committee Strategic Planning Working Group held on 7th February 2017.
Attended by: Cllrs N Cotton, S Sanderson, J Airey, J Bland Also attending: Cllrs B Gray, B Wearing, S Evans, P Thornton and G Cook Karen Johnson, Area Manager Gae Hicks, Community Development Assistant
1. Apologies and Declarations of Interest Apologies were received from Cllrs I Stewart and M Wilson.
2. Matters arising from Minutes of the previous meeting The Minutes from the previous meeting on 6th December 2016 were presented to Local Committee on 24th January 2017. No queries were raised and, apart from a mis-spelling of Community Plan in the funding request for Kirkby Lonsdale, they were received as an accurate record of that meeting.
3. Kendal Strategic Transport Infrastructure Study Paul Marriott, Infrastructure Planning Officer, had provided members with an update from the most recent session on this project held for members on 23rd January 2017. Several members at the Working Group had attended the meeting and recalled that the original 8 options proposed by the consultants had been narrowed down to 3,with an agreement in principle to take forward the northern route as a priority, as this presented the most viable option to gain maximum funding. It would also mean that if a route were confirmed then development across it could be avoided. Members were also pressing for the EA to compete their report into the bridges in Kendal ahead of the next stage of the Kendal Masterplan and KSTIS as the bridges are a key part of the transport infrastructure in the town. The next step in the process would be to undertake a full feasibility study which would require a dedicated officer to work on it nearly full time. Although the whole scheme could take up to 15 years to complete Cllr Bland suggested that a detailed plan should be drawn up within 12 months or as soon as possible to be ready to draw down funding.
4. Local Area Partnerships – South Lakeland Locality Charter The Area Manager advised members that she had been approached by Simon Blyth from SLDC with regard to formalising a Locality Charter for South Lakeland. This would re-establish the commitment to and working relationship between the eight Local Area Partnerships (LAPs) and all the local partner agencies. The Area Manager was keen to hear the views of members on the way the LAPs currently work and how they see them functioning in the future.
125 Councillors have many calls on their time but usually would usually prioritise a Parish council meeting over a LAP if there happened to be a clash. Some members felt that the LAP areas were so big that it was often difficult to find areas of common ground between the parishes and the views and priorities of larger parishes or town councils often overshadowed the smaller, more rural communities. In Kendal, as the LAP footprint was the same for the Town Council, the LAP has now been abolished but Cllr Cook requested that if the charter came into effect then Kendal must also be referenced and included. Members also felt that, apart from a few successes with projects such as the Dementia Friendly Town for Ulverston, most of the LAPS had evolved away from their original purpose of taking a strategic overview of their locality and working together to bring about change on common issues. Some LAPs are perceived to work fairly well but members consider Parish Councils to be a better sounding board for local issues. There are also issues with some parishes not engaging with their LAP as they see no benefit in attending (particularly now there is no funding allocated to LAPs). The Police and Health services would be invited to sign up to the Charter but the Police particularly struggle to attend Parish Council meetings and have never regularly attended LAP meetings. Some members remarked that the Neighbourhood Forums had worked better as members of the public attended those as well. There was some debate however as to whether the majority of those attending were there because they were seeking grant funding. The Area Manager reminded members that the format of Neighbourhood Forum meeting was still available to them if they wished to reach an audience in individual communities on a single issue, as has been done over the last year with the Flood Forums. It was agreed that the Area Manager would go back to Simon with suggestions to strengthen and broaden the Charter particularly in respect of “what Cumbria County Council will do”.
5. 2016/17 Monitoring Report and Budget Update The Area Manager presented her monitoring report which includes current budget balances. Across the General Provision, Economic Initiatives and School Crossing Patrol budgets a total of £26,891 remain available to allocate and funding request totalling just over £27k were being brought to this meeting. If members wished to fund each request in full then amounts of £10k for the Credit Union and £4.1 k for Flood Recovery work could be fully or partly de- committed to cover any shortfall. The Area Manger subsequently reminded members that this year there was a greater than ever possibility that unallocated funds might be clawed back at the end of the financial year. Regarding Item 1 on the Monitoring Report, Cllr Cook advised members that he would be attending his first meeting of the Kendal BID board that evening, representing the County Council. He also queried the remaining funding in the School Crossing Patrol budget which he believed had been ring-fenced for
126 additional safety measures in association with sites where there was an existing school crossing person. The Area Manager said she would speak again to Victoria Upton about the options around this. Cllr Evans asked if the Area Manager had spoken to the Credit Union as she believed the allocated funding was probably no longer required and could be de- committed. Members had also been provided with a breakdown of the spending on Community Grants year to date. It was noted that there was still quite a substantial sum unallocated across all areas, apart from Grange & Cartmel, which again could be at risk of claw back at year end.
Recommendation That Local Committee agrees that any unallocated balance remaining in Community Grants after 28th February 2017 be vired to Highways towards spending on repairs to local flood damaged infrastructure.
6. Funding Requests
a) Kendal Sports Hub at KRUFC The written grant report provided members with a detailed breakdown of this wide ranging project to create a single site which would offer several different local sports clubs training and storage facilities which they do not currently have. Funding from the County Council, including other pledges of £15k each form Public Health and SLLC 0-19 budget, will give leverage to bids which the Club has submitted to other bodies such as Sport England. It was also pointed out that the Club has had a consistent vision for this project for a number of years, even before they moved from their old site and it could also be scalable as funding allows. The Area Manager added that a similar project in Barrow, where several sports clubs were brought together on one site, had worked very well.
Recommendation That, subject to the necessary planning permission being granted for the required new buildings on the site and to the rest of the funding being drawn down, Local Committee agrees to award £15k from the Economic Initiatives/General Provision budget to the new Sports Hub at Kendal Rugby Union Football Club.
b) Kendal Wool Gathering Having considered the written grant report a query was raised as to whether the group was properly constituted. The Community Development Assistant was able to confirm that, having raised the same query when the application came in, the group had been able to supply the required document. Due to K Village being under new ownership, in 2017 the event is moving from there to Kendal Leisure Centre. Cllr Bland reported that he had attended a similar, longer established event in Cockermouth which is held at the Auction Mart. It was suggested that the Kendal event might also benefit
127 in future from being held at J36 Auction Mart and this suggestion would be put to the group.
Recommendation That, subject to all the funding applications listed being confirmed, Local Committee agree to award £3,500 from Economic Initiatives/General Provision budget to the 2017 Kendal Wool Gathering c) Kendal Torchlight Carnival The relatively new group which has been running the torchlight Carnival for the last two or three years is preparing for the 2017 event and has need for funding to support marketing activity plus barrier hire and other safety measures. The street party held in 2016 on the day after the evening procession was well received and it is planned to hold another similar event again this year. The group does have some concern over the level of funding it will receive from local businesses but if this is less than expected then the street party will be scaled back accordingly. Members generally felt that festivals need to start generating more income for themselves but it was clarified that for this event the organisers take 20% from the collections made by each of the four nominated charities. It was also suggested that the organisers could make an additional request to the CCF for funding.
Recommendation That, subject to all other funding being drawn down, Local Committee agree to award £5k from the Economic Initiatives/General Provision budget to the 2017 Kendal Torchlight Festival d) Annie Mawson’s Sunbeam Music Trust The Trust has applied to all six Local Committees in Cumbria for funding to support a pilot project to bring singing and music workshops (and baking of scones) to older and vulnerable people in day or residential care across Cumbria. In South Lakeland it is proposed to hold sessions at 3 venues in Kendal and 2 in Ulverston. There is also scope within the project to transport groups to the Trusts own centre in Penrith for further sessions. If this pilot scheme shows evidence of local value the findings will be used to support an application to a national funder to extend the project over a 3-5 year plan. Members were aware of the good work done over many years by the Trust and were keen to support this request.
Recommendation That, subject to confirmation that the workshops will be held locally and people will not just be taken up to Penrith, Local Committee agree to award £4,300 for the Economic Initiatives/General Provision budget
128 to Annie Mawson’s Sunbeams Music Trust Songs and Scones Pilot Project
e) Right2Work Right2Work offers local people in Kendal volunteering and training for people who are disabled or disadvantaged. They deliver the Bulky Waste Contract and reuse or recycle as many unwanted household goods as possible, thus diverting them away from landfill. In 2016 Right2Work successfully applied to the South Lakeland Waste Prevention fund for funding for a qualified electrician to test donated electrical appliances and to teach the staff how to refurbish such items. Following the success of that scheme, which still continues, the organisation now wishes to provide tools and employ a joiner for 6 hours a week, to help repair donated items of wooden furniture and also to teach staff the necessary skills to do the work themselves. Many members were aware of the good work done by this organisation and were happy to support this funding request.
Recommendation That Local Committee agree to award £3,100 from the Waste Prevention fund, to Right2Work towards providing tools and employing a joiner.
7. Date for next meeting Members agreed that the next meeting would take place on Tuesday 20th June 2017 at 2.00 pm in Committee Room 2 at County Offices.
129 APPENDIX C South Lakeland Strategic Planning Grant Report
Name of Applicant Lead applicant is Kendal Rugby Union Football Club (KRUFC) in partnership with The Queen Katherine Multi Academy Trust (QKS) a part of The Kendal Community Sports Hub Partnership About the Organisation The partnership exists between KRUFC, QKS and local amateur sports clubs:- Kendal Amateur Athletics; Kendal Ladies Hockey; Kendal Men’s Hockey; Ambleside Hockey; Kendal Bowmen Archery; Kendal Canoe; Kent Valley Cycling; Kendal Cycling
Project description and benefit to the community Background Phase 1: The new build and relocation of the KRUFC onto new land opposite the existing facility. This has been wholly funded by Sainsbury’s. Phase 2 : During the consultation phase for the relocation of the rugby club, it became apparent that a much larger opportunity could be explored. A range of local clubs running sports as diverse as archery, canoeing, athletics and hockey all operate in Kendal and surrounding areas without a permanent social and administrative base to call home, and often without consistent access to adequate sport facilities. As a consequence of these constraints, these clubs are all operating at levels close to capacity, often unable to pursue the full potential that developing and growing their sports locally would deliver in terms of increasing participation and growing the numbers of qualified coaches and volunteers.
The project comprises three core components: 1) Partner with QKS to upgrade its existing hockey pitch with upgraded lighting and drainage and a new, modern artificial surface. This would create a Hockey Centre which would be used by the 3 hockey clubs as their main training and competition base; by QKS as part of its PE and sport club programme;, by KRUFC for the training and conditioning of its rugby athletes, and for hire to the community of Kendal. It would also potentially serve as a venue for local sport events. Extensive consultation has taken place with Sport England, England Hockey and the National Hockey Foundation in relation to this ambition, and both organisations are fully supportive.
The QKS component of the project increases the ability to deliver the wider benefits of the sports hub project as a whole, including the capacity to bring the nine sport clubs together. This partnership approach will also contribute to the development of a sustainable business case for this project.
By working with KRUFC, QKS believes that the new programmes of activity that will become available both in the curriculum time and outside core school hours will have a positive impact on the attendance and achievement of pupils attending the school. These facilities will also naturally become available to the School’s network of primary feeder schools, and also to the neighbouring Sandgate School,
(2) Partner with local sport clubs to provide a permanent home for their activities within the new KRUFC Clubhouse, thereby establishing a modern and well-equipped sports, social and events hub for Kendal and surrounding areas. This arrangement will enable the clubs to grow, and will provide the community with a one- stop centre that is open to all to practice or try out a diverse range of health-related and sport activities in a high quality and fit-for-purpose, friendly and social environment and will promote active and healthy lifestyles to all sections of the Kendal community and will benefit the wider South Lakeland area.
(3) Develop an indoor sports training facility on the new KRUFC site, comprising of an indoor space with gym exercise equipment. Space for sports equipment storage would also be included; this would be an essential requirement for the partner clubs on the site. Such a facility would be necessary to cater for the increased volume of sport activity on the site by providing a flexible, easily accessible and modern training facility for a variety of sports. It will ensure that all the sports on the site will have access to a shared indoor training facility and storage space, guaranteed to be available in all weather, and will contribute to the project’s sustainable business plan.
130 The project will provide the community of Kendal and surrounding districts with more opportunities to take part in sports, events and to volunteer. It will provide the clubs involved in the project with an increased capacity to enlist new members and to hold more sporting sessions, competitions, events and social activities
Based on a conservative estimate that the clubs will experience an average increase in membership of 50% as a direct consequence of the project (although some clubs, such as the hockey clubs, realistically expect this number to be higher based on the numbers of prospective members, especially in the junior sections, who have to be turned away at present due to a lack of access to adequate training facilities) the numbers of direct beneficiaries of the project is shown below:
Projected future Current membership Club membership numbers numbers KRUFC (rugby) 350 525
Kendal Men's Hockey Club 90 135
Kendal Ladies Hockey Club 250 375
Kendal Bowmen (Archery) 80 120
Kent Valley Cycle Club 80 120 Kendal Cycle Club 300 450
Kendal Amateur Athletics Club 220 330
Kendal Canoe Club 40 60
Ambleside Hockey Club 70 105
Subtotal 1480 2220
Queen Katherine School enrolment 1420 1420
Total 2900 3640
In addition to the above, the growth in participation numbers will also increase opportunities for local people to become involved in supporting the project in other ways. The clubs will be keen to recruit and train more coaches, officials and assistants to support the long-term sustainability of the activities on offer. Volunteering opportunities will also be available, particularly in supporting sport events and tournaments that will take place on the new KRUFC site for all of the clubs involved in the project.
Age Groups 0-4 years: the project will deliver targeted activity, working with parents to develop a pathway into participation in sport. Children in that age bracket will also be provided for by summer, Easter and other holiday activities such as festivals of sport, sport try-out days and mother and baby sessions
5-11 years: and the younger section of the 12-19 age group, will benefit from holiday sport sessions, festivals of sport and sport try-out opportunities. Many of the sport clubs run specific ‘minis’ or ‘junior’ sections,, catering specifically for this age group.
12-19 years: upper age range and for participants in their 20s and 30s, the clubs run scheduled training sessions, competitive teams (some of the clubs compete at a national level), training opportunities for coaching and officials within their sport, and sessions for lower levels of competition.
20-55 years: outside of sport sessions, the project will also have the facilities and capacity to offer regular social activities.
131 55+ years: the capacity to offer opportunities to volunteer will be considerably enhanced by this project. Sport and exercise sessions such as walking sessions and tag rugby are currently organized by the clubs involved in this project, and such activities will be increased in frequency and capacity by the project’s implementation.
Community inclusion, added value and legacy. Tackling obesity and increasing participation 65.8% of adults in the South Lakeland district are classified as overweight or obese, this is slightly lower than the North West average of 66.0% yet higher than the national average of 63.8%. (Source: Department of health measure: number of people who are overweight (incl. obese)( South Lakeland obesity profile 2014)
The scale and diversity of sport participation opportunities that the project provides will increase the opportunity and motivation for people to take part in exercise regularly and for the long-term. The range of different sports on offer on one site, represented by the nine different clubs involved in the project, will also allow participants to try out different sports and to find an activity that best suits their own individual interests and preferences, further increasing the chances of an individual retaining a participation in exercise and sport for longer.
Sport participation in South Lakeland data (source: Sport England Active People Surveys, 2005-2016) shows that participation levels in Kendal appear to have fluctuated over the past decade, when compared to the national average. Currently (from 2016 data) sport participation in South Lakeland is approximately equal to the North West and national average.
By providing nine sport clubs with a permanent base to operate and sustainably grow their activities, more people in the Kendal and surrounding areas will have the opportunity to participate in regular and stable sport activities that will be less prone to cancellation or disruption. The clubs will have a much greater opportunity to plan their activities strategically and for the long-term.
A more detailed analysis of participation in sport in South Lakeland shows that participation rates in Kendal are broadly equal to, and in some cases higher than, the national average for the categories recorded in the Sport England Active People surveys. A notable exception appears to be in the 35 to 54 age group, where participation is currently approximately 5% lower than the national average and has locally dropped by approximately 7% over the last decade. As time advances and this cohort progress into the 55+ age group category, it may be the case that encouraging this group to re- participate in sport and exercise will become a more complicated challenge - unless projects such as the Kendal Community Sport Hub can allow local sport clubs to grow in size and to offer diverse sport programmes including those aimed at older or less active residents.
10% of Cumbrian residents, when surveyed, expressed a preference that the improvement of sport facilities is an important issue, approximately the same proportion as those who stated a priority preference for shops, cultural facilities and events.

Name of Applicant Kendal Wool Gathering
About the Organisation Kendal Wool Gathering is a not-for-profit organisation, run by volunteers to promote wool and wool related products and the historic links to the town of Kendal. The Wool Gathering is held on the last weekend in October, thereby extending the visitor season and in 2016, it attracted more than 7,000 visitors and local people. Professional wool exhibitors from across the country hold stalls and events are delivered for all ages. Local partners include Kendal Town Council, Westmorland Agricultural Society, the Quaker Tapestry and the Museum of Lakeland Life.
Project description and benefit to the community To date, the event has been held at K Village but the venue is now in new ownership and is unable to provide the space in future. Kendal Wool Gathering now requires a large venue with good access and parking, so the intention is to hold the event in 2017, at Kendal Leisure Centre. This will however bring additional costs, resulting in a projected shortfall of £6,943.

Group Name Garden Organic Supporting Officers Katharine Smith Project Start Date April 2017 Amount Requested £ 6,000 Total Project £18,000 Cost
APPLICATION REPORT Application Summary Garden Organic is a charity that promotes organic gardening, farming and food through community engagement. They operate the Master Composters scheme across the UK and have over 20,000 members and over 1,000 volunteers.
Annually the volunteers communicate with in excess of 15,000 people and support the diversion of at least 1,125 tonnes of biodegradable waste from disposal.
Garden Organic will recruit, train and support 5 volunteers in South Lakeland (15 in total for the 3 areas participating), initially for 12 months to become Master Composters.
The volunteers will give in excess of 450 conversations with residents relating to home compost advice by talking to friends, family and neighbours as well as attending community events and group talks.
This is a new initiative for Cumbria, the areas proposed are South Lakeland, Eden and Copeland. Total cost for the three participating areas is £18,000 with a total of 15 volunteers to be recruited. Various resources including an overall Project Coordinator will be shared across the participating districts.
Garden Organic have advised that the Project Coordinator will Lead on volunteer recruitment and act as point of contact for volunteers re training and workshops and promotion of events Develop projects and activities relating to home composting Maintain regular contact with volunteers, community groups and interested parties Maintain all records relating to the scheme, including volunteer hours, activities Identify and engage with existing community groups and match with volunteers for support. Manage promotions via media, website and social media in order to maximise PR associated with projects in the area. Assist in project evaluation Give advice on home composting externally and internally
The Project Coordinator will contact local groups to discuss partnership opportunities whilst supporting local initiatives and projects and will aim to work collaboratively to enhance programmes within the local community. Use of local waste collection data & local authority knowledge will enable activity to be targeted on specific communities or geographical areas and therefore allow proactive recruitment of volunteers within these areas.
E:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\8\3\0\AI00029038\$vuo2i4g0.doc 139 Garden Organic has advised that a minimum of three districts will be required to take part to make the project viable.
Match with Criteria & Local Committee Priorities
When awarding funds from this scheme applications for funding should demonstrate that projects address at least one of the following criteria:
Reduce the amount of waste produced in Cumbria by encouraging specific behaviours relating to the waste hierarchy of reduce, reuse and recycle and encouraging resourcefulness through repairing, refurbishing, repurposing, sharing, swapping and composting
Reduce the negative impact of waste on our society and environment by encouraging better management of waste and exemplifying new ways of dealing with waste as a resource
Enable residents and communities to get involved in environmental and waste related initiatives and support permanent changes in individuals behaviours
Raise awareness of resource efficiency and educate people around resource efficient behaviours
Number of people benefiting 0 – 19 yrs 20 - 54yrs 55+ yrs within the following age ranges: 100plus
Waste Prevention Officer Evaluation / Recommendations:
Garden Organic is offering a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness of composting in the community and the importance of reducing waste entering the treatment system. This is basically an initiative to promote waste reduction at source and spread the message via community volunteers across their local communities.
Garden Organic have over 20 years of experience of working in the community, delivering community engagement programmes and have over 20,000 members across the country including over 550 Master Composter volunteers.
This project will increase the reach of the Master Composter network in South Lakeland and encourage local people to take part in the scheme as volunteers or by becoming composters themselves.
Composting can divert around 250kg of waste per household per year so this scheme will offer the potential to keep 112.5 tonnes from needing treatment at council facilities per year.
This represents a very good project for South Lakeland Local Committee to support.

SCHOOL CROSSING PATROLS – SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT FOR 2017/18 WITH SOUTH LAKELAND LOCAL COMMITTEE
The 2017/18 agreement will continue to embrace the following service aspects:
Training – all school crossing patrols will continue to receive refresher road safety training, including an update on current road traffic legislation as it relates to their role.
Customer Care – all school crossing patrols will continue to receive guidance on the importance and benefits of customer care with particular reference to the needs of children and accompanying adults.
Uniforms and equipment – the requirements of all school crossing patrols are continually assessed to ensure that they comply fully with current legislation. Statutory items of uniform (hat and coat) and equipment will be issued accordingly.
Management activities – Orian Solutions Ltd will pay all salaries and standard employment costs for each individual crossing patrol and recruit any replacements as directed. We will continue to liaise with associated schools to ensure effective absence cover where possible and information to parents. We will also work closely with schools to make the crossing patrol service sufficiently flexible to accommodate any changes to departure or arrival times for breakfast clubs, after school clubs and special events.
However, site reviews, public consultation exercises and traffic surveys will remain the responsibility of the Local Committee and as such, Orian Solutions Ltd will not be involved. Similarly, Orian Solutions Ltd will not be responsible for enforcement of any local parking restrictions or alterations that may be required to the highway, including road markings, hazard warning lights or flashing beacons.
Legal information
The school crossing patrol service complies with the legislative requirements of the School Crossing Patrol Act 1953, School Crossing Patrol Order 1954 and the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, which was subsequently amended by the Transport Act 2000 (section 270).
E:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\8\3\0\AI00029038\$vuo2i4g0.doc 141 The law gives a school crossing patrol appointed by an appropriate authority the power to stop traffic on condition that they are wearing a uniform approved by the Secretary of State and are using the prescribed sign.
The law states that even where a crossing patrol is provided, parents remain responsible for ensuring their children’s safety on their journey to and from school.

SOUTH LAKELAND LOCAL COMMITTEE CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE'S WORKING GROUP
Minutes of a Meeting of the South Lakeland Local Committee Children and Young People's Working Group held on Tuesday 21st February 2017 at 2.00 pm in Committee Room 1, County Offices, Kendal.
PRESENT:
Cllr S Evans (Chair)
Cllr James Airey Cllr Bill Wearing Cllr Mark Wilson Cllr Ian Stewart (for Cllr Feeney Johnson)
Also in Attendance:- Cllr Jim Bland Mrs Karen Johnson Area Manager South Lakeland Mr M Conefrey Public Health Locality Manager Miss Gill Holmes Community Development Officer Miss Gae Hicks Community Development Assistant Mrs A Towers Senior Manager Learning and Skills
1 APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE Apologies for absence were received from Cllr Feeney Johnson, Mr Cameron Yazdi and Mr Graham Bassett
2 MINUTES The minutes of the meeting of the Working Group held on 7th December 2016 were presented to Local Committee on 24th January 2017 and were confirmed as a correct record.
There were no further matters arising from those minutes
3 BUDGET UPDATE AND PERFORMANCE MONITORING REPORT The Area Manager presented the Budget Update and Performance Monitoring report whose key objectives mirror the priorities of members in the Area Plan. She outlined that the budget showed a balance of £71,856 remaining, which could be committed in full if members agreed to the recommendations for all the funding requests being presented at the meeting.
Cllr Stewart, Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Public Health, advised the group that the changes to the School Nursing and Health Visitor service which had
E:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\8\3\0\AI00029038\$vuo2i4g0.doc 143 featured in the press the previous week were the result of a decision taken at Cabinet on 20 October 2016. This decision was shaped by the responses to a 30-day consultation which started in September 2016 and following that decision a letter had been sent to all school heads, heads of governors and all County Councillors who are school governors explaining the changes. It was not the case that the service was being scrapped as reported in the media but, in future, support will be targeted where it is most needed. There will be one full time co-ordinator in each Local Committee area responsible for Public Health promotion in schools and among young people. The Co-ordinator will also be able to signpost the school to the most appropriate help to provide help sooner than may have previously been possible when waiting for the next school nurse visit. Cllr Stewart also advised that going forward the Public Health grant will no longer be ring-fenced as part of the Business Rate retention funding.
Cllr Wilson raised several points. He was concerned that the Cumbria Promise was not robust enough and also that the offer from members to champion it had been turned down. In relation to Children’s Centres, he requested a performance update in figures, including success rates – Gill Holmes advised that she was already working with Katie Clarke, Strategic Lead for Children’s Centres on sharing outcomes in a more meaningful way. Cllr Wilson then raised a query about provision of school places, based on forecasts of new house building in Kendal and Ulverston which had not yet happened. He was advised that Andy Smart, the School Places Manager, works to annual predictions of requirements. Members accepted the offer that a more specific update on the process could be provided to the next meeting of the Working Group. Cllr Wilson also requested a figure based performance update on 11-19 Mental Health Services, particularly incidents of self-harm.
Amanda Towers apologised for the tardiness in reporting back to the Working Group on the outcomes from funding allocated to support new traineeships and apprenticeships in South Lakeland, largely due to the significant reshaping of the Learning and Skills team. 41 employers, across a broad range of businesses had been supported with up to a maximum of £2,500 per apprentice. 51 young people had been employed as apprentices, learning a wide range of skills, of whom 37 progressed to employment, 11 withdrew and 2 are still completing their apprenticeships. The withdrawals may have been for various reasons, including taking up other training opportunities. The traineeships, for those not yet ready for the workplace or taking up an apprenticeship had proved more difficult to establish with only 1 employer and 2 trainees being engaged.
Members expressed concern at the NEET data for 16, 17 and 18 year olds which showed that the status of a total of 46 young people was unknown. Inspira and the Targeted Youth team do carry out checks to try and locate and engage with such young people but members asked if there was any further support they could provide through their responsibilities as Corporate Parents or through Local Committee itself.
E:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\8\3\0\AI00029038\$vuo2i4g0.doc 144 Members were also interested in the trends over time. The data is not produced on a monthly basis but Mrs Towers was able to confirm that the figures for January 2016 – January 2017 have gone done for the county as a whole. Members asked for the data for South Lakeland to be extracted and provided to members.
From 1st April 2017 there will be changes to the way apprenticeships are funded and Mrs Towers offered to provide a copy of her recent presentation to the Chairs and Leaders group which set out the changes in more detail. Along with these changes there is more work to do in promoting apprenticeships generally; in South Lakeland there are 3 vacancies which remain unfilled for lack of suitable candidates. As well as the reformed funding, apprenticeships will also be open to all ages and from 1st May 2017 graduates will also be able to take up apprenticeships, providing it is for a different skill area to their degree. There will also be the option for non- graduates to take up an apprenticeship which will result in them obtaining a degree.
4. FUNDING REQUESTS i) Kendal Community Sports Hub at Kendal Rugby Union Football Club Steve Whitehead of the Club and Jim Quigley of 77Group attended the meeting to answer any queries members had about this wide ranging project to provide a new sports hub for Kendal which would offer storage, training and administrative facilities to a number of small local clubs, such as Kendal Canoe Club and Kendal Bowmen as well as the rugby club itself Members noted the more detail recommendation report and welcomed the thinking behind the project, the opportunities it will give to the smaller clubs to have a base and then to be able to draw down funding and the potential benefits of wider participation in sport by those of all ages
Recommendation That Local Committee agrees to award funding of £15,000 from the 0-19 budget to support the development of a Kendal Community Sports Hub ii) Brathay Trust Resilience Project Following a discussion at Local Committee on 24th January 2017, it had been agreed to ring fence money for this project pending further investigation of the project by officers. Members noted the more detailed information provided in report to the Working Group and made the following recommendation:
Recommendation That Local Committee agrees to award £25,000 from the 0-19 budget to Brathay Trust for the Resilience Project
E:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\8\3\0\AI00029038\$vuo2i4g0.doc 145 iii) Brathay Trust i-Cre8 Project in partnership with Brewery Arts Centre and Sedbergh Drive Following a pilot project the main outcome of which was that participants felt that an 8 week programme was not long enough, funding was requested to run this project again for more children on the edge of care, but over a twelve week period. Members agreed the following recommendation:

To be discussed at the next Working Group meeting in June 2017. ix) South Lakeland Young Carers Following a late enquiry from this group a verbal request was made by Gill Holmes for funding to support training courses in practical life skills, such as First Aid, Food Safety and Budgeting. This project would benefit c. 30 young carers aged 8-16 years old across South Lakeland.
A further request had also been made for funding to enable to grants to be made to individual carers to help combat social and geographical isolation by providing lap tops enabling them to keep up with school work if they have to be absent and to maintain contact with friends through social channels. Members commented that access to broadband might prove an issue but agreed to ring-fence an amount, pending further working up of the proposal.
Recommendation That Local Committee agrees to award £3,000 from the 0-19 budget to South Lakeland Young Carers for life skills training and to ring-fence £3,696 for possible future awards for individual young carers. x) Curious Minds This group works as a bridge organisation to connect the cultural sector and the education sector so children and young people have access to great arts and cultural opportunities. Members noted the report and agreed to the following recommendation
Recommendation That Local Committee agrees to award £3,000 from the 0-19 budget to Curious Minds for an “Applied Theatre” project.
5. A2BNOW SCHEME Members noted the report on usage figures up to the end of January and also the numbers using the online facility for renewing their card. Gill Holmes advised that awareness of the scheme continued to be pushed in schools and youth clubs. It will also feature in the next edition of South Lakeland News
E:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\8\3\0\AI00029038\$vuo2i4g0.doc 147 which should raise more awareness among parents locally too. Transport is still an issue for many young people and the situation in Cumbria had been raised at a meeting of the national Youth Parliament. Members confirmed that they were happy to recommend that the scheme continue for the 2017/18 financial year and, based on the anticipated cost for 2016/17, that £30,000 should be set aside for this.
Recommendation That Local Committee agrees to set aside £30,000 from the 2017/18 Local Committee 0-19 budget to support the A2BNoW Scheme until March 2018.
6 100 MILE CHALLENGE As previously requested members were provided with a list of the South Lakeland schools currently signed up to this project. Since figures were last reported a further 5 schools have signed up, making 22 in total. Members requested a further breakdown of figures as follows: Of all South Lakeland primary schools what percentage has signed up? Of the schools that have signed up what percentage of pupils are involved? An additional column on the list showing which Electoral Division the school is in. In 2016 members allocated £3,000 of funding from the 0-19 budget for this scheme, to compliment £3,000 of Public Health funding; to date the scheme has cost £4,835. Action: Gill Holmes to identify schools which are not currently participating and contact the relevant member to ask them to encourage the school to sign up.
7 BARROW AND SOUTH LAKELAND YOUTH COUNCIL Members noted the report on recent activity at the Youth Council. However, concern was expressed that of the 21 members of the Youth Council only 3 were recorded as being from South Lakeland and the rest from the Barrow, although it was acknowledged that some of those listed as being from the Barrow area might actually be from Ulverston. Members asked that a push be made to encourage more young people from the South Lakeland district to get involved with the Youth Council. With regard to BLINK magazine it was suggested that, given the interest of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in young people’s mental health issues, a copy of the latest issue be sent to them with a letter from the South Lakeland Youth Council to highlight the local interest in and the work being done to raise awareness among young people here.
8 BARROW AND SOUTH LAKELAND CHILDREN IN CARE COUNCIL
E:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\8\3\0\AI00029038\$vuo2i4g0.doc 148 Members noted the report provided and observed again that more representatives from the South Lakeland district were needed on the Children in Care Council. Cllr Evans advised that Care Leavers was to be one of the topics for discussion at the next meeting of the Corporate Parenting Board.

Project details
The Resilience Project is designed to make savings to Council budgets. It will do this through activities that increase support and improve outcomes for young people and their families
The project will build self-reliance and independence for young people and their families and help reduce their demand for local services. This early intervention will deliver outcomes before problems worsen and behaviours become entrenched. A family facing the issues we will address could conceivably be costing up to £5,000 per year in support from Council services. By investing £2,000 in each of these families the cost to services will be significantly reduced.
Our model is one that overcomes resistance in the majority of cases. It is an asset model which recognises and values a family’s strengths, rather than focusing on problems. Children and families can feel threatened by professionals who intervene when there is a problem, and feel blamed for what is going wrong. We begin by asking families what they want to get out of the relationship, and what they need to succeed. This is the starting point for building rapport and trust. Features of our work include:
E:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\8\3\0\AI00029038\$vuo2i4g0.doc 149 • A nurturing approach, including home visits where appropriate • Support planning done in collaboration with and responsive to requests from and the interests of the child • Flexible intervention, offering support during evenings and weekends, as well as during office hours • Non-threatening, accessible sessions based in the community
Our Keyworkers will work with children and their families in three phases, with different amounts of contact and non-contact support time in each phase:
First phase, 2 weeks: 2 contacts per week, each of 1.5 hours = 12 hours of support in total over 2 weeks
Second phase, 8 weeks: 1 contact per week x 1.5 hours = 28 hours over 12 weeks
Third phase, 6 weeks: 1 contacts per fortnight, each of 1.5 hours = 10.5 hours over 6 weeks
In the early stages of contact, our workers will focus on building a trusting and candid relationship, seeking to create a ‘support map’ of the sources of support which the young person draws upon. They will use this as the basis for the creation and implementation of an agreed ‘support plan’, which will have a timeline aspect to it. The rationale behind the phased approach outlined in the resource model above is to have a ‘tapered exit’ to their contact with individual children/young people and their families, establishing a clear route to empowerment and independence, to mitigate against the risk of building a dependency on the worker.
Based on dialogue with our key contact within the Early Help team, we envisage that we will be working with pupils from Years 7 and 8. The schools will refer them in the first instance and the Early Help Team (CCC) will be responsible for referring them on to Brathay. The aim is to catch those CYP who have not yet met the criteria for Early Help intervention, thus prevent them needing that service or becoming a CIN.
By May 2018 the Resilience Project will have worked with: • 20 children and their families (around 70 vulnerable people) • 35-75 community groups • 3 secondary schools in South Lakeland
….and delivered:
• training to 24 school staff (whoever is a trusted, significant adult in the children’s eyes) • 1,326 hours of individual support • New members to local sports clubs, voluntary groups and uniformed organisations
The Resilience Project will deliver outcomes that contribute to the Council’s 2016-19 Plan. It will support children and families to build better support networks, become more confident, independent and in control of their lives and the services they use.
Specifically it will deliver the following outcomes:
E:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\8\3\0\AI00029038\$vuo2i4g0.doc 150 • Improved physical and emotional health of children and young people; • Improves awareness of lines of support (formal and informal) and how to establish, maintain and develop these; • Improved engagement between children and young people and their local community; • Increased community wellbeing, resilience and connectedness.
The project will work with the entire family, not just individual children, as we (and the partner schools) recognise that parent and sibling wellbeing has a huge impact on children. By developing parents’ resilience and coping strategies, they are able to better understand and support their children.
Sustainability The project is sustainable because it makes significant costs savings to Council budgets by improving outcomes for vulnerable young people and their families and by reducing the support needed by that family from Council and other statutory services. Learning from the project will demonstrate value for money and this will lead to the development of an invest-to-save model beyond the first year.
The project will develop a learning culture, in which partners seek to improve their services through an ongoing process of evaluation, and especially by listening to and acting on the views of the families we work with. The future of the project will be supported by Brathay, using evidence to demonstrate impact.
Proposed evaluation methods:
Output data will be gathered and recorded by the workers delivering the sessions. These outputs will be entered onto attendance record sheets and transferred onto Brathay’s database – a secure record of outputs from our work with young people and families. This data will be collated and audited by the Project Manager.
Qualitative and quantitative data will be collected and entered into our evaluation database to track progression against objectives and measure the impact of the project.
Managers will review this information with lead delivery staff and, where appropriate, in stakeholder groups or team meetings. We will provide updates to partner agencies every six months, with reference to monitoring returns and project review meetings. Progress reports detailing activity and outcome indicators will be agreed with the County Council.
Across all three phases the total support time per young person and their family = 50.5 hours. (At a cost of £21/hour). Travel & subsistence (e.g. buying hot drinks during meetings with young people): £185 per case Funding required: £1,245.50 per young person/family. Total funding required: £24,910
Total Cost of Project £24,910 Grant requested £25,000

Officer’s comments / recommended conditions if grant approved
On 24 January 2017, Local Committee ring-fenced £25,000 for this project work from the 0 - 19 funding but by obtaining support of 50% of the funding from the Public Health Grant, we can use more of the 0-19 funding for more projects addressing a diverse range of issues
APPENDIX M
Name of Organisation Brathay Trust
Project details The i-Cre8 project was commissioned and funded by Cumbria County Council’s South Lakeland Local Committee in 2016 and was designed and delivered in response to a need to support children on the edge of care to develop both their self- efficacy (“What am I good at?”) and their emotional resilience. It was a joint partnership between Brathay Trust and the Brewery Arts Centre. As with the pilot programme we would rely on support from the staff at Sedbergh Drive to transport the young people to and from the sessions.
The personal development programme was delivered over 8 weeks (approx. 2 hours/session) for up to 10 young people from Sedbergh Drive aged 9-16 years, who faced specific and individually unique challenges linked to being on the cusp of care. The first session was delivered at Brathay Hall, Ambleside and the remaining 7 sessions took place at the Brewery Arts Centre, on Wednesdays after school.
Aim and Outcomes of the Programme:
E:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\8\3\0\AI00029038\$vuo2i4g0.doc 152 The overall aim of the programme was to support young people on the edge of the care system to move towards greater levels of emotional resilience. Within this aim, the programme set out to deliver the following outcomes:
1. To raise participants’ aspirations, confidence and self-belief 2. To increase motivation to engage in new experiences 3. To help participants recognise their own strengths and skills, and how to use them in a positive way
An evaluation summary reported that the staff could see positive changes in all of the young people that had attended regularly and those changes consisted of the following:
Sedbergh Drive staff The young person’s behaviour has turned round dramatically The young person told me they enjoyed it They have got so much out of this, it has been positive
Carers/Parents They have grown in confidence and are able to make conversations now This programme has been the only thing that she has engaged with They are able to manage themselves more She is now able to follow her dream of doing photography
Young People Got to make new friends Made me realise I want to do well Helped build my confidence Kept me safe
One of the key ‘lessons learned’ from the pilot was that the brevity of the programme constrained the personal development impact and outcomes for the individual young people. Bearing this mind, we’d propose to have more contact time with the young people e.g. to work with them across 12 weeks vs. the 8 we did before.
This would necessitate pro-rata increases in the amount of resource deployed to the programme (mostly staff time), and hence require proportionately more support. We could deliver a 12 week programme between us for £4,500 vs £3,000 for the 8 week programme.
The key workers at the Brewery Arts Centre have confirmed their capacity as has the manager at Sedbergh Drive and all are very keen to deliver a refined version of this programme to another cohort of young people engaged by the Edge of Care team.
In terms of when the delivery could begin, Brathay and Brewery Arts workers could have completed any necessary session planning etc and begin working with the young people on or around 1st May 2017..

APPENDIX N
Name of Organisation Cumbria Council for Voluntary Service - Furness Future Leaders' Academy
Project details For the past three years CVS has hosted the Lottery-funded Inspiring Barrow project, which until recently was co-ordinated by the community interest company Inspire Furness. To complement the Inspiring Barrow project and ensure consistency between various education and skills-based initiatives in the area, Inspire Furness took on the role of accountable body for Furness Future Leaders' Academy in 2015, having overseen a pilot summer school project in 2014. Inspire Furness was dissolved last year following the departure of its director/project co-ordinator, and as a consequence, CVS agreed to be the new accountable body for the Academy on 1st June 2016. CVS also has direct responsibility for the management and co-ordination of the 2016-19 Inspiring Barrow programme, which commenced in September 2016.
They require funding to contribute towards the delivery of the third Future Leaders' Academy summer school, following on from the successful model introduced in 2015
E:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\8\3\0\AI00029038\$vuo2i4g0.doc 154 and developed further last year.
This year the Academy will include: a) A free summer school at Furness College over 15 days from 31st July to 18th August (10am-3pm) for a new cohort of nearly a hundred young people finishing year 5 (age 10). b) The roll out of a mentoring programme for the same cohort throughout year 6 and into year 7. This will commence in the autumn and follows on from the mentoring scheme introduced this year as a joint partnership between Inspiring Barrow and the Future Leaders' Academy for many of the students from 2016.
The project will benefit from the appointment of a joint team from Barrow Island Primary School and Victoria Academy, led by the Barrow Island head teacher, to deliver the educational aspect of the summer school, building on the model developed during the last two years. Cumbria Development Education Centre [CDEC] will again deliver a programme of leadership training, centred around a community action project which the students design and undertake. They will also run training for the mentoring programme.
The Academy has the aim of: a) supporting young people to develop a range of life skills in order to help them achieve their full life potential b) developing leadership and entrepreneurial skills to enable young people to share in the exciting career opportunities on the horizon in Furness (e.g. at GSK and BAE).
A rich and stimulating personal development programme is introduced at summer school, underpinned by a clear model that the young people can latch on to quickly. They have the opportunity to work with local employers on a project that has real purpose and relevance to their lives, as well as learning how to work in teams collaboratively, make quality decisions and recognise each other's skills outside the normal classroom environment. A fun programme is planned involving event planning/hospitality, campaigning on a subject of local or global significance, radio broadcasting, lobbying, fundraising, building a website, orienteering and zorbing (bubble football). It includes full use of the 3G pitch at the college for physical activities and games. Two complimentary buses transport students to and from the college each day.
Up to 100 students are recruited from primary schools across Furness and nominated by the schools as those that best fit the project criteria. A typical child is one who shows leadership qualities and/or is coasting academically. Some may be disengaged at school or not taking part in many out of school activities. Some may come from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The number of places offered to each school is determined by the size of the school/year group, the number of children meeting the project criteria and degree of take up or engagement previously. All schools are offered a minimum of two places and larger schools have the opportunity to nominate a maximum of 8-9 students. One of the key strengths of the project is the ability to cater for a very mixed intake from a diverse range of backgrounds. Twenty one schools signed up last year, including from South Lakeland: Sir John Barrow, Penny Bridge, Church Walk, Croftlands and Pennington primary schools. More than twenty per cent of students are from South Lakeland.
E:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\8\3\0\AI00029038\$vuo2i4g0.doc 155 At the end of the project those attending should have increased their confidence, self-esteem, self-efficacy and emotional resilience and also had time to consider their own identity - what am I good at and what do I like? The life skills summarised in the supplementary report form an integral part of the programme. Children also benefit from the concerted effort in raising ambition and working with their peers from other schools.
Proposed evaluation methods:
The programme has attracted a good response on social media with many families and businesses posting comments on Facebook (Furness Future Leaders Academy) and Twitter @FutureLdrsAcdmy. We also collected some excellent feedback on the impact of the programme from students. When asked ‘what would you say to someone thinking of coming on the Academy?’, the response from students was overwhelmingly positive. When asked ‘what did you enjoy least about the Academy?’, responses were very varied with the top three being: (a) there was nothing they didn’t enjoy – 45%, (b) there was too much writing - 30%, (c) being inside too much – 3%. This year we are building in daily outdoor team activities.
The main findings from an external evaluation conducted by Paul Davies of Lancaster University in 2015 were that: it made a big impact in a short amount of time.
• Overall the Academy Summer School was successful in fulfilling its aims and objectives, and made a positive impact on the pupils in terms of their own self- confidence and in their belief that they could exercise more leadership, both in terms of their own lives and in the community around them. • The Academy Summer School provided pupils with an experience they were very unlikely to obtain elsewhere. • The success of the summer school was considered to be very much the result of the quality of its staff (a view also expressed by pupils). The diverse range of backgrounds from which staff and volunteers came, and the skills and experience they brought, enhanced the programme greatly. • A three-week programme targeted at 100 pupils required a considerable amount of planning and organisation, and it was the view of staff and pupils that the organisation was a success. Staff pointed to the adequate level of resourcing, the smooth planning stage, the facilities provided at Furness College and the role played by the education teams, together with the volunteers.
Teachers reported that the areas where it had the most impact on outcomes for pupils were:
• Improved confidence and self-esteem • Relationship with other pupils • Providing a better grasp of what makes effective leaders • Developed independent learning skills • Developed team working skills • Improved attitude to school • Improved emotional resilience
Schools also recognised the benefits to pupils of working with local businesses and organisations:

In January, Local Committee awarded a certificate to a member of the Youth Council and asked her what she would like to see next. She informed Members that it was clear that many young people had issues but didn’t know where to go or look for help. This information could be incorporated into a future magazine if there was funding available.
Members previously questioned the cost of producing more copies so may wish to fund 1000 copies at an extra cost of £280 so that they could distribute in their wards or provide a copy to every young person. Each additional order of 500 would be £280
APPENDIX P
Name of Organisation Flookburgh & District Recreational Trust
Project details The Flookburgh & District Recreational Trust was set up by Lower Holker Parish Council to manage a plot of land on Moor Lane, Flookburgh with the intention of providing a recreational/ activity area for members of the local community. The Trust has currently been made aware that groundworks to deal with rainwater/drainage
E:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\8\3\0\AI00029038\$vuo2i4g0.doc 158 would need to be undertaken on the land before the recreation activity area can be developed.
The costs for the groundworks is approximately £40,000.
Funding is being sought from the Children and Young People’s Working Group to contribute towards the groundworks to enable the provision of a recreational/activity area to be developed which will be aimed at children aged between 0-14 years approximately. In addition to equipment for young children an outdoor exercise area for all also forms part of the trusts plans. This will enable greater social interaction between children and their parents and combat rural isolation.
Proposed evaluation methods: The trust has had a long standing ambition to create a recreational area for all members of the community and this has been supported over the years through a number of consultations. The project would provide opportunities for the young people to socialise outside of school hours in a safe environment. It will provide local options which will assist with combating rural isolation.

The above request is to support the groundworks to enable the next phase of the project to be developed. Currently the whole project, including groundworks, has an estimated total cost of £207,000.
APPENDIX Q
Name of Organisation Barnardos
Project details
The 2015 flooding badly affected the lives of a large number of children and their families in Kendal and as a result, the Kendal Flood Recovery ‘Suitcase’ Project was adapted from previous research carried out by a team at Lancaster University and
E:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\8\3\0\AI00029038\$vuo2i4g0.doc 159 delivered to 21 children and their families who were flooded and attend Stramongate Primary School. This was facilitated by members of the original research team as an adaptation of their original creative methods and working alongside the school’s inclusion manager, teachers and staff from Barnardo’s.
The project was evaluated by the university which highlighted the successful outcomes and which were substantiated by the Stramongate School staff.
Signs of recovery were evident in the children’s eagerness to participate and their ability to engage with the activities of the workshops in a relaxed manner. In the longer term, after a feedback session and later when the children presented their stories and their Flood Suitcase in a school assembly, it was felt that the project had contributed to the children’s welfare by enhancing their confidence and to an overall spirit of resilience within the school community.
Beyond Stramongate school there have been badly affected communities throughout South Lakeland and Cumbria and Barnardo’s would like to roll out this concept of Flood Recovery to support the emotional health and wellbeing of children and their families. There is still a lot of nervousness and anxiety around especially in wet weather. In particular, children at Castle Park school have been identified as a group who would greatly benefit from this project. Barnardo’s have been in discussions with the Headteacher who would welcome the support to help their children become more emotionally resilient.
Barnardo’s will actively seek to identify other children who were affected by the floods and are still suffering emotionally. They will contact other schools in the area, such as Burneside and Staveley to promote the benefits of this work. They have received a referral this week for a family who live in Kendal but the child attends school in Staveley where both areas were badly affected.
It is proposed that the grant would support Barnardo's to:
Deliver more Flood Suitcase workshops to support and build emotional health and wellbeing of children, young people and their families; Provide themed support drop-in groups providing play, parenting, early learning, paediatric first aid, baby massage, healthy eating Provide families with access to specialist bereavement and domestic violence support and signposting to other local support services via drop-in sessions at their Children’s centres in Kendal Provide practical support to help families attend community activities and events.
The outcomes we would work towards would be:
Improved self-esteem & emotional resilience : Children, young people and their families believe in themselves and have higher aspirations, confidence and self esteem Improved mental health & wellbeing :Children, young people and their families are socially, mentally, physically and emotionally healthy and resilient
Any child/family who accesses the Suitcase Project, may need more support work so could be signposted to the programmes and drop-in sessions already on offer with Barnardos, such as ‘Happy to be Me’ which provide ongoing resilience work for children .Alternatively, following assessment and in the planning of ‘What Next?’, an extra mini project could be delivered if there was any more funding available.
E:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\8\3\0\AI00029038\$vuo2i4g0.doc 160 Proposed evaluation methods:
This is measured by various tools, but Barnardo’s have their own impact scoring matrix on a 1 – 5 score which is measured at the beginning and end of sessions which gives an overall indication of impact.
Total Cost of Project £6000 + Grant requested Minimum of £6000 to cover extra hours for 1 member of staff for 1 day per week to run Flood Suitcase which would include the planning, preparation and evaluation for a period of 12 months.
Date the project commences May 2017 Wards: South Lakeland
Officer’s comments / recommended conditions if grant approved
The Suitcase Project has proven results (Stramongate School Project evaluation is provided). By providing more ongoing support in the form of wellbeing drop-in events, it will reduce the feeling of isolation still felt by many of the parents affected by the floods. It has been evident that the delay in feeling the emotional effect of the floods is quite common.
APPENDIX R
Name of Organisation South Lakeland Carers
Project details Life Skills Training for Young Carers
E:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\8\3\0\AI00029038\$vuo2i4g0.doc 161 In October 2016, South Lakeland Carers obtained funding from the Gannett Foundation towards a new project which has been requested by the Young Carers for training in practical life skills. They are now seeking funding for sessional workers to attend these workshops, freeing up their Support Workers to focus on one to one work with Young Carers.
Young Carers need practical life skills at an earlier age than most young people because they care for someone and are responsible for essential, day to day tasks at home; a heavy responsibility for their age. They are often unable to take part in extra- curricular activities at school or in leisure activities outside of school. The rural nature of South Lakeland with its poor public transport exacerbates this situation as it can be so difficult and time consuming for young people to travel into their nearest town. We will arrange transport for Young Carers from isolated rural areas so that they can take part in all activities.
The project will provide a rare opportunity for Young Carers to work alongside a group of their peers, learn new skills and simply enjoy themselves like any other young person in a safe and welcoming environment. It is an important part of our holistic support to Young Carers which helps them to develop coping strategies to enable them to deal with difficult situations, achieve their personal goals and become independent.
There will be a series of six workshops which will culminate in a weekend residential when young people will put some of the skills learned into action. The proposed topics to be covered were identified with the Young Carers and will include basic first aid, kitchen safety, fire safety, basic cooking, food safety and budgeting. The residential will take place at Hestead House at Brathay, a self-contained cottage which enables groups to self-cater. During the weekend, the young people will also take part in outdoor activities such as a ghyll scramble, whaler session (boats) and high challenge course. This break from caring will leave Young Carers feeling less stressed and make their caring role more manageable as well as increasing their self-esteem through applying the skills learned in the project.
This project will benefit 30 Young Carers, aged from 8-16. This number has been determined through discussions with Young Carers at support groups and through our previous experience of delivering workshops for young people.
Sustainability The lasting benefit of this project will be that Young Carers will develop skills from which they will benefit for the rest of their lives. In the short term, this will make a huge difference to their everyday lives, and the lives of the people for whom they care. Their home lives will be safer and more enjoyable, eg they will be able to cook a simple meal. In the longer term, the young people will become independent and continue to build on what they have learned. They will use these skills every day for the rest of their lives.
Proposed evaluation methods: Interviews with Young Carers, staff and parents

Name of Organisation Curious Minds
E:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\8\3\0\AI00029038\$vuo2i4g0.doc 162 Curious Minds – North West Bridge Organisation
The Arts Council funds a network of 10 Bridge organisations to connect the cultural sector and the education sector so that children & young people can have access to great arts and cultural opportunities. Curious Minds is delighted to serve as Bridge organisation for the North West, covering Cumbria, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside and Cheshire. Through this work we engage with local schools, art organisations, museums, libraries, music education hubs, local authorities, Further Education and Higher Education Institutions and many other partners to develop a network of cultural provision, catalyse and coordinate the activity to meet the Cultural Education Challenge. We do this through working to form Local Cultural Education Partnerships and through programmes like Arts Award and Artsmark.
Project details Applied Theatre Applied Theatre refers to the practice of theatre and drama in non-traditional settings and/or with marginalized communities. It encompasses theatre practices which tackle areas of social and cultural policy such as public health, education, housing, social welfare, and juvenile and criminal justice. Applied Theatre is multi-disciplinary and involves links with other research disciplines and agencies in the humanities, social sciences, and wellness and health. The focus is on the uses of theatre to educate and to grapple with complex social issues.
To deliver a Cumbria-wide 12month long programme/campaign addressing health and wellbeing issues relevant to young people:
Six issue focused county-wide campaigns, each 2months long (issues to be determined locally).
Each 2 month campaign will be built around a bespoke dramatic performance staged in front of a live audience of secondary school pupils and made available by streaming to all secondary schools in Cumbria. Thus one bespoke performance will be staged in each district over the course of a 12month programme.
Performances will be recorded for future use.
Performances will be in collaboration with three established Cumbria based organisations that will each have a strong record of producing high quality dramatic theatre. It is envisaged that one organisation will operate in the Furness/South Lakes area and will collaborate on the two programmes here; likewise one organisation will serve Allerdale & Copeland and one organisation Carlisle & Eden.
A bespoke narrative created with young people from Cumbria:
Each dramatic performance will be developed through a series of workshops led by a nationally recognised writer working with a group of local young people. Where appropriate, and whenever possible, these young people will have direct experience of the issue under examination. This provides opportunity for therapeutic activity with a group of young people who may have, for example, experience of self-harm, on- line bullying, hate crime etc.
Partners & potential partners: - Schools - CAMHS - Targeted Youth Support Services

Associated curricular plans and materials for schools:
Each production will include the development of a suite of bespoke curricular resources for use in the classroom. This will enable school staff to explore the issues raised and will ensure there are opportunities for discussion and reflection.
Well-being campaign led by young people utilising mixed media:
Each dramatic production will be the centrepiece of a thematic wellbeing campaign. It is envisaged that these campaigns will engage a variety of traditional and non- traditional media. The campaigns will be designed and led by young people.
‘Showcase’ productions:
The six ‘showcase’ dramatic productions will provide opportunities for a wide range of young people to engage with experienced artists and technicians. In addition to the chance for young actors to develop their craft there will be the potential for those interested in set design, stage management, video/sound recording, theatre management etc. to learn new skills. Thus, as well as providing occasion for those affected by the issues raised to explore their experience, there will be significant development possibilities for those with a talent or interest in drama and associated activities.
It is envisaged that the productions may be followed with question and answer sessions providing opportunities for the audience to engage with the production team and to immediately raise any points for discussion. Hard copy topic specific information will be provided for those attending.
Proposed evaluation methods:
Evaluation will include assessment of the experience of the young people involved in the production as well as a consideration of the impact on the audience. There are circa 7,000 young people in secondary education in Cumbria as the productions will be available to all schools this represents a sizeable potential audience.
Key outputs and outcomes:

Curious Minds are offering up to £100k to Cumbria in matched (1:1) funding. If Cumbria can raise £100,000, this will be matched with a further £100,000, giving £200,000 to deliver an Applied Theatre programme across Cumbria.
E:\moderngov\Data\AgendaItemDocs\8\3\0\AI00029038\$vuo2i4g0.doc 165 It is proposed that funding be sought from each of the six districts. If £100,000 is to be raised this will represent a contribution from each district of £16,667.

4.1 The 2013/14 budget included a Local Member Schemes budget. County Councillors can, through the Area Support Team, propose one or more local schemes for each division. These schemes are intended to help resolve local issues already identified through community engagement which are in line with the priorities within the Council Plan and specific local priorities within the Area Plan for South Lakeland. These proposals should be submitted to the Local Committee for approval. This budget is for one year only, but the resource may be spent over the two years – 2015/16 to 2016/17.

PROJECT SUMMARY This funding will support the cutting of trees on Low Garth
South Lakeland District Council’s Arboricultural Officer inspected trees at Low Garth (map supplied) and conclude that at present, the risk of harm from the trees in this area is within acceptable levels. Current SLDC policy for Arboricultural works, through a limited budget, is for health and safety or dangerous trees only though local residents have requested and feel that some management and pruning of the trees would be beneficial.
SLDC has confirmed that reducing the tips of the birch trees by up to three metres would be acceptable and that they would have no objections to the removal of a Willow tree and a Hawthorn tree next to the rear garden of 100 Low Garth, though there is currently no budget to undertake this work.

This programme is aimed to encourage children to take part in physical activity. It will last for two weeks at Easter, one week in May and four weeks in the summer holidays during 2017.
Each session will last for two hours each week (1-3pm) and will benefit 15-30 children, therefore providing potential benefit to around 300 children. Families will also be invited to attend and children will be asked what type of activity they would like to be offered ( e.g tag rugby, football, netball etc). The sessions will be delivered by two staff from the Active Communities Team which is part of Greenwich Leisure Limited (Kendal Leisure Centre). These activities are additional to what is normally delivered, so additional staff will need to be recruited to run the sessions. Children and families will be encouraged to continue taking part in regular physical activity beyond these sessions.

PROJECT SUMMARY Kendal Torchlight Carnival – Saturday Street Party
To support Kendal Torchlight Saturday Street Party event, which will form part of the wider Torchlight Carnival in Kendal, in September 2017. The organisers of the festival invite professional performers and other contributors to attend the Street Party. In 2016, 10 external groups were invited to attend. The number of groups that can be invited, depends on funding available but the total cost could range between £500-£4,000. Donations from local businesses and individuals are difficult to estimate, so confirmed support in advance would be extremely helpful. Any unused funding will be used to support future Torchlight Carnivals.
A grant of £5,000 was recently recommended by the CCC Strategic Planning Group towards the wider Carnival but this LMS funding is specifically to support the Saturday Street Party element.
Evidence of Community Support & Strategic Fit
Organisers have supplied a Visitor Survey and Event Evaluation for the 2016 festival which demonstrates positive visitor feedback and return on investment, which shows that for each pound invested, almost £55 was generated for the local economy. The estimated cost of the event does not include in-kind support and volunteer hours, which if paid would be significantly higher.

PROJECT SUMMARY FOOTWAY AT CROOKFIELD, STAVELEY
In 2015 a new affordable housing development was built on the outskirts of the village alongside the road to Crook. An extension to this development is now at the consultation stage. This has extended the curtilage of the village beyond a well-established development of bungalows, which attracts a significant proportion of older residents because of the size of the properties and the level nature of the terrain. The Doctors' Surgery is situated on the Crook Road between the village and these developments. Consequently there is considerable movement of people and vehicles as well as general motorists and business vehicles along the road. Despite this, there is no footway from the Station bridge, past the surgery and as far as the first estate of houses.
Along this stretch the road is narrow making it more dangerous and to make matters worse, a very busy commercial business is now based there resulting in a much higher number of delivery vehicles. The need for a footway to enable the safe passage of people along this road is urgently needed. It would join the one leading out of the village with those serving the residential area. Funding will be used to support the provision of a 25m pavement footway, a 90m ghost footway where the road is particularly narrow and appropriate traffic warning signs.
This application seeks funding for the cost of the plans and contribution to installation of footway.

UPDATE ON CONNECTING CUMBRIA
1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 This report is provided as an overall update the committee on the Connecting Cumbria programme.
1.2 Phase 1 of the Connecting Cumbria programme was commenced in 2011/2012 with a target of making superfast broadband available to 110,894 properties across Cumbria that would not have been covered by commercial deployment programmes. Work is currently in progress to financially close this contract.
1.3 A contract for Phase 2 of this programme was awarded in 2015/2016, with a target of making superfast broadband available to a further 5,925 properties by end of March 2018. Survey and deployment works under this contract have commenced with 10 structures deployed to date.
1.4 Our delivery partner BT has estimated that it could make superfast broadband available to approximately 3,000 further properties before the end of 2018, at no cost to the Council, using £3.906m funding which has been identified from cost efficiencies and a contractual mechanism which generates further investment in the programme in relation to take up of services. Work ongoing between the Council, BT and Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) to formally incorporate this further deployment activity and target into the programme.
1.5 Work is also ongoing to look at what can be done through the Connecting Cumbria programme to support the Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) target that 100% of properties in Cumbria have access to superfast broadband.
2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS
223 2.1 Success of the Connecting Cumbria broadband rollout programme is key to the economic development of the district and encouraging investment. The programme described in this report contributes to the priorities for Cumbria County Council contained in the Council’s Plan (2016-2019) and the development of the Council’s Area Plans. These priorities are:
. To safeguard children and support families and schools so that all children in Cumbria can grow up in a safe environment, and can fulfil their potential . To support older, disabled and vulnerable people to live independent and healthy lives . To enable communities to help shape their local services, promote health and wellbeing and support those in poverty . To provide a safe and well managed highways network, secure infrastructure improvements and support local economic growth . To be a modern and efficient council
2.2 Further to the above the rollout of superfast broadband is a priority for the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) with their Strategic Economic Plan for the county aiming to achieve 100% coverage.
2.3 The universal availability of adequate broadband has been shown to be beneficial for supporting equality and cultural diversity nationally. The Equality Impact Assessment was carried out for the overall Connecting Cumbria project in October 2010 and showed that there were no major equality issues with this project. The only implications raised by the assessment were the potential risks associated with bringing groups from different backgrounds together but did not recommend any measures needed to address this.
3.0 RECOMMENDATION
3.1 This report is provided for information only.
4.0 BACKGROUND
4.1 The Connecting Cumbria programme is the local delivery arm of the National Broadband Scheme overseen by Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) on behalf of Department Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) aimed at increasing the availability of superfast broadband across the UK. The Government’s target for this national programme is that by the end of 2017 95% of properties in the UK have access to superfast broadband, Connecting Cumbria will contribute to this UK wide target but it is noted that achieving 95% superfast in Cumbria will take more work than achieving this UK wide.
4.2 Following procurement and award of contract in 2011/2012 to our delivery partner British Telecom (BT), deployment works commenced in 2012/2013. The target for this contract was to make superfast broadband services of greater than 24Mbps, available to 110,894 properties that would not have been covered by commercial service deployment. To achieve the superfast
224 target of this contract it was estimated that fibre broadband would need to be made accessible to 115,782 properties in Cumbria through the deployment under this contract.
4.3 Following agreement between the Council, BT and funders in quarter 4 2015/2016 deployment work under this contract was extended for an additional 2 quarters. This was to allow for the completion of works delayed outside of the programme’s control, including delays caused by storm Desmond, and for the deployment of additional fibre structures needed to ensure full delivery of the superfast contractual target outlined in 4.2. above.
4.4 Deployment works under the contract have now made superfast infrastructure accessible to 112,900 premises in Cumbria, which goes beyond the contractual 110,894 premise superfast target, and fibre broadband accessible to more than 120,000 properties; again exceeding the original target. Work is currently ongoing between the Council, BT and funders to technically and financially close this contract.
Phase 2
4.5 Following completion of procurement activities a further contract was awarded to BT in 2015/2016 to deliver a phase 2 of the Connecting Cumbria programme. The current contractual target for this phase of works is to make superfast fibre broadband services available to a further 5,925 properties across the county by the end of March 2018.
4.6 Survey and deployment works are currently ongoing with 10 new structures so far completed under this contract making superfast broadband accessible to 1,282 properties. As survey work will be being undertaken until the end of 2017 we cannot at this stage publish the locations of all coverage planned under this contract however we will be publishing indicative coverage for each structure on the programme website as surveys on that structure are completed.
Further deployment
4.7 Through cost efficiencies in phase 1 of the programme and a contractual mechanism that generates further investment in the programme in relation to take up of services £3.906m of BT funding has become available for further programme deployment through the existing contracts at no cost to the Council.
4.8 BT has undertaken modelling work the outcome of which is that, subject to contract, they will commit to make superfast broadband to at least 3,000 further properties across Cumbria by the end of 2018. Work is ongoing between the Council, BT and BDUK to formally agree how this additional deployment will be integrated with existing contracts and targets.
South Lakes
4.9 As at 1st March 2017 Connecting Cumbria has in South Lakes delivered:
225 Fibre broadband infrastructure has been made accessible to over 90% homes and businesses, most of which would not have been covered by commercial deployment, with coverage anticipated to increase to over 96% on completion of the works currently programmed. Please see the map in appendix A for an indication of where these services are available or are being made available. Between deployment under the programme, and commercial deployment programmes, more than 85% of properties in South Lakes district can now access superfast broadband. This is anticipated to rise to 90% on completion of works currently programmed. Work has been undertaken in 31 exchange areas across the district with more than 205 fibre network structures now ready to accept orders for services.
4.10 Of the more than 90% properties in the district which can currently access fibre broadband only 35% have so far taken up the new services. Members help is sought to encourage take up of services on the new network as this could trigger additional investment from BT to allow the programme to reach further areas. It is particularly important to:
Reinforce the message that existing broadband connections will not automatically go faster when the new services go live. Residents must contact their chosen Internet Service Provider (ISP) to place orders and benefit from the work of this programme; Increase public awareness of where services are likely to be available. Please see Appendix 1 of this report for a map indicating where fibre is currently live or planned in the district so far under this programme; Increase awareness that fibre services are typically not more expensive than conventional broadband. We have been advised that it can be possible to order fibre services for the same price or less than people were previously paying for a slower service by shopping around. Customers don’t have to order from BT and there is a lot of competition between ISPs at the moment.
BDUK Better Broadband Scheme
4.11 Where properties are currently not able to access a basic broadband service of at least 2Mbps by any other means BDUK has developed a subsidy scheme to support the installation of equipment of alternative technology broadband services such as fixed wireless and satellite. Details of this scheme and the application process are available on the Connecting Cumbria website (http://www.connectingcumbria.org.uk/BDUK-Better- Broadband.asp). Note that we have suggested to BDUK that they make a postal application process available but this has not so far been acted upon.
4.12 Recipients of vouchers can, under some circumstances, aggregate their vouchers with other in their community to contribute towards community superfast broadband network develop. One example of this is communities working with the BT community Fibre Partnership programme (http://www.communityfibre.bt.com/). However it should be noted that in most cases the community will also have to contribute works, free
226 permission to cross land or other funding to complete such projects and that there is a limited time for works to be undertaken if communities wish to claim this funding option.
4.13 It is our view that satellite broadband through this scheme provides a ‘stopgap’ to support Cumbrian residents while we continue to push for greater terrestrially based superfast coverage of the county. Satellite broadband is technically capable of delivering superfast download speeds but is costly to subscribe to and has a number of limitations that mean it does not give the same user experience as terrestrial broadband. There may be a small minority of very isolated properties, estimated to be around 0.5%, where satellite broadband may be the only appropriate solution due to the extremely high costs of providing services by any other currently known means however it is our ambition that this technology be seen as the last resort for superfast.
Supporting the Local Enterprise Partnership target of 100% superfast broadband access
4.14 As noted in paragraph 2.2 above, 100% access to superfast broadband services is a target of the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). Connecting Cumbria has contributed toward this target however our current estimate is that by the end of our current programme there will still be more than 5% of properties in Cumbria without access to fibre based superfast broadband.
4.15 Through working cost effectively on the programme deployment, encouraging commercial deployment of services and encouraging our delivery partner BT to look at innovations in their deployment process we hope to exceed this coverage projection. However it is not expected to be possible to reach 100% of properties in Cumbria with these activities alone.
4.16 Therefore members support is welcomed with respect to the following activities:
4.16.1 Lobbying for government funding As noted in 4.13 above satellite broadband may be the only solution for a small minority of remote properties but we believe that with reasonable further funding and consideration of a range of technology many more properties in the county could be served by terrestrial superfast services. On this basis the Council has written to minsters to seek their support for the funding of further deployment of services and the LEP applied for £10m as part of the Cumbria Growth Deal 2 to be used for broadband rollout. Initial indications are that this Growth Deal funding application will not be granted and Members assistance to lobby for other forms of funding is welcomed.
4.16.2 Take up of services to generate further funding As outlined in 4.11 take up of services in areas covered through the programme may help generate funding to reach into uncovered communities.
4.16.3 Expansion of 4G mobile services
227 A considerable expansion of access to 4G services, which can support superfast broadband services and may provide solutions for isolated rural properties, is expected before the end of 2017 in Cumbria. EE is currently working to cover 100% of the UK mainland road network as part of delivering the new emergency service network and has advised the Council that it intends to offer consumer services across all areas of its network. We have also been advised by Vodafone and O2 that they are looking at 4G service expansion across several areas of the county. Where appropriate planning applications have been developed Members support would be welcomed to ensure that the role of this type of coverage in improving rural broadband is fully considered.
4.16.4 Encourage developers to install superfast services It is the responsibility of developers of residential and commercial property to consider access to superfast broadband in the same way as they should consider access to water, power and sewerage. There is a great deal of competition between network providers, particularly Openreach and Virgin Media, to be selected as network providers by developers; because of this competition Openreach has offered to install for free fibre to the premises technology to any development with more than 30 units. If developers can be encouraged to ensure their projects are fully covered with superfast services it is possible that parts of the surrounding telecoms networks may also be upgraded benefiting other properties in that area.
4.16.5 Community build programmes There are a few options for communities to develop their own superfast solutions, including the set-up of a community fibre partnership with BT (http://www.communityfibre.bt.com/). There is currently no funding within the Connecting Cumbria programme to support these types of schemes but depending on the scheme chosen there maybe funding that a community can access i.e. BT offers grants to support schools that are part of their community fibre partnership schemes or communities aggregating their BDUK Better Broadband Scheme subsidies.

228 8.0 CONCLUSION
8.1 Deployment of fibre broadband services through the Connecting Cumbria Programme is making good progress. Contract 1 has overachieved against its target making fibre services available to considerably more properties than originally anticipated. Works under contract 2 are progressing well. The Council is working with BT and Funders to extend deployment to further properties across the county.
8.2 Deployment is increasingly challenging in all parts of the county and there is further work to be done to support expansion of superfast services in South Lakes. Members help is welcomed to support lobbying, encourage service take up to trigger further investment, encourage commercial deployment of services and make constituents aware of options for community schemes.
8.3 Where properties are not able to access a basic broadband service of at least 2Mbps, and are not expected to be covered by planned works under phase 2, a consumer subsidy scheme is available to support access to alternative broadband services. However this is seen as a stopgap scheme and it is recommended that the Council continues to lobby the government to fund further expansion of terrestrial superfast services.

COUNTY COUNCIL LOCAL COMMITTEE FOR SOUTH LAKELAND
Meeting date: 21st March 2017
From: Corporate Director – Health Care and Community Services
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND PUBLIC HEALTH ACTIVITY - UPDATE
1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 This report draws attention to key Community Development and Public Health Activity undertaken by the South Lakeland Area Support Team and Locality Public Health Manager.
2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS
2.1 Community Development and Public Health Activity supports the aims of the Council Plan 2014-2017 with respect to the priorities;
To safeguard children, and ensure that Cumbria is a great place to be a child and grow up
To enable communities to live safely and shape services locally
To promote health and wellbeing and tackle poverty
To support older and vulnerable people to live independent and healthy lives
2.2 All activities undertaken are assessed to ensure that the equality and diversity impacts are understood and appropriately addressed.
3.0 RECOMMENDATION
3.1 Members are asked to note the content of this report.
233 4.0 BACKGROUND
4.1 This report draws attention to key Community Development, Waste Reduction and Public Health Activity undertaken by the South Lakeland Area Support Team and the Public Health Locality Manager to progress the Council’s Strategic aims and the Health & Wellbeing Strategy 2016-19 in South Lakeland.
4.2 Additionally the Community Development Team continues to work alongside local members (supporting them in their community leadership role) and is engaged with local communities to help them shape council services. The team continues to work towards the objectives set which include bespoke engagement around local issues, supporting the Community Grants process, supporting the Children & Young People’s Working group and assisting with the development of the Local Area Partnerships.
Key Activities
4.3 Flood Recovery: The Area Team have organised, scheduled, publicised and facilitated twelve Flood Forum events across South Lakeland in January, February and March 2017. These events include the two remaining Stage 3 meetings (in Stainton and Beetham) the remainder being Stage 4 meetings where final Section 19 reports are presented to local communities. Further meetings are to follow in the summer, it is anticipated these meetings will include recommendations for future action.
The South Lakeland Community Flood Recovery Group continues to meet monthly albeit the focus is increasingly on resilience rather than recovery.
4.4 Asset Based Community Development: The Area Team continue to support local communities to realise local assets and build on these. Ongoing work includes:
Pennington Community Plan Group – The group are currently looking into the possibility of developing a Good Neighbours Scheme. The Community Development Officer and Locality Public Health Manager will continue to provide support to the group. Future updates on progress will be provided.
Hawkshead Delivery Group – The Economic Impact Study has been completed and the group are now looking at making arrangement for a meeting with Cumbria Highways, Cumbria Tourism, South Lakeland District Council and The Lake District National Park to address some of the concerns regarding infrastructure, tourism and the local economy. The group are looking to move forward on a co-production model. Support is currently being provided to the group by the Community Development Officer, it is envisaged that ACT (Action with Communities) will be able to provide future support to this group.
234 Holme Village Hall – Community Group currently looking at setting up Community First Responders/Good Neighbours Scheme to help support individuals being discharged from hospital or people that are lonely or isolated within the community. The Community Development Officer is providing guidance to the group, links to similar projects and advice on appropriate funding streams.
Cartmel Delivery Group – Cumbria Highways are currently undertaking the statuary consultation on the proposal for double yellow lines in the village. The works to the footbridge are ongoing and the group hope to have these finalised within the next 6 months.
Staveley, Gowan Bridge - In partnership with Highways, the Community Development Officer has held meetings and published regular communications with the Staveley Stakeholder Group regarding the rebuild of Gowan Bridge.
Local Area Partnerships - Gully maps have been provided to many South Lakeland parishes with guidance on how to mark up additional gullies and drains to those shown on the maps. The purpose of this exercise is to improve central understanding of local infrastructure.
4.5 Health and Wellbeing: The South Lakeland Health and Wellbeing forum met on the 23rd February. Dr Jim Hacking updated the Forum on the progress of Integrated Care Communities across South Lakeland; the increasing recognition of the need for effective community engagement and mobilisation as part of a ‘whole system’ approach was welcomed by the forum. Fiona Inston (SLDC) advised the group that the chapter of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment currently being developed was concerned with the environment and sustainability. Mike Conefrey updated the forum on aspects of the Public Health ‘offer’ including the ‘Healthy Child Programme’, NHS Health Checks, Stop Smoking Service etc. (appendix I). Cllr Wilson provided an update on Health and Wellbeing initiatives being piloted in Ulverston.
The latter part of the meeting was focused on the needs of children, young people and young families. A number of additional guests attended the forum for this discussion including representatives of school heads, children’s centres, Cumbria Partnership NHS Trust and the system lead for child and adolescent mental health services. In a wide ranging discussion there was considerable interest in the challenges attendant to meeting the mental health needs of children and young people, both responding to identified need and preventing the development of mental health problems. Attendees are exploring the usefulness of holding a ‘South Lakeland Summit’ to consider the issues raised in greater detail.
A steering group has been developed to consider health and wellbeing issues in Ulverston. The group includes representatives from community organisations, local councils, business, sports & leisure groups, voluntary agencies and the NHS. This broad interest steering group are working towards the development of a ‘Community Health and Wellbeing Plan’. This plan will seek to improve and enhance the physical, social and economic environment in and around Ulverston promoting healthy and happy lifestyles
235 in the pursuit of improved wellbeing for all. It will be an important element in Ulverston’s progress to World Health Organisation recognised Healthy Town status.
4.6 Children & Young People: The use of the Public Health Locality Grant to support and encourage primary schools across South Lakeland to take part in the ‘Hundred Mile Challenge’ has helped engage 22 local schools (50% of the 44 primary schools in South Lakeland) in this initiative. This means that some 3,250 primary school age children locally will be encouraged to complete and record 100 miles travel ‘under their own steam’ and with their families. The cost to the Public Health Locality Grant is approximately £4,800.
Following the success of the South Lakeland Youth Council’s magazine publication ‘BLINK’ which focused specifically on Mental Health, the Youth Council has proposed a second publication. This second issue, focusing on relationships that are important to young people, provides an opportunity for local young people to proactively engage with the health and wellbeing agenda locally.
The Area Support Team and the Public Health Locality manager continue discussions with the Children’s Services’ team, schools, local not for profit organisations, and partner statutory organisations to co-ordinate work in support of children and young people. Much of the focus is on supporting local children and young people to be more emotionally resilient, to learn basic life skills and to live healthy, happy lives. Further updates will be provided as projects are confirmed.
4.7 Older People: A number of initiatives to help meet the health and wellbeing needs of older people have been facilitated by the Area Team and Public Health Locality Manager. Cumbria CVS are working to ensure that in each of the eight ‘hub towns’ in South Lakeland there is a dementia friendly singing group; Age UK has embarked upon the ‘Friends Exchange’ initiative, seeking to address loneliness in some of the most vulnerable older people; promotional materials will help the Alzheimer’s Society progress dementia friendly communities; Ulverston Library is running a ‘Living Well into Later Life fair on the 17th March which will provide an opportunity for older people and those planning retirement to think about how they can best spend later life being healthy, happy and fulfilled. Further updates on these projects which have received support from the Locality Public health grant will be provided in due course.
4.8 Integrated Care Communities: The Public Health Locality Manager and Community Development Officers continue to work closely with the Integrated Care Communities across South Lakeland. A number of public engagement events have been jointly run with Better Care Together (BCT) and further events are planned after the County Council elections. The portfolio holder for public health and community services and the mayor of Ulverston have met with the GP lead, the BCT communications lead and project manager for Ulverston and Dalton ICC; a further meeting between the portfolio holder and the Kendal ICC leadership is planned.
236 The Area Manager and The Public Health Locality manager are working closely with colleagues from across the County to describe a ‘community development offer’ to ICCs that has a degree of consistency across all local committee areas but is flexible enough to reflect local circumstances. In south Lakeland it is envisaged that SLDC will be partners in this offer. This should complement the Public Health programmes outlined in appendix I.
Increased engagement of community services and community representatives with the Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) has been demonstrated by a programme of community orientated planning sessions (‘Large Scale Change’) bringing together a variety of community teams and interests from across the STP. Furthermore the inclusion of CCC, SLDC and Cumbria CVS representation in the ongoing evaluation of BCT indicates a commitment to a ‘whole system’ approach.
4.9 Waste Reduction: The Waste Reduction Officer has been working in partnership with SLDC on the Staveley ‘Waste Less’ project. Thus far, the project has been promoted through coffee mornings including sessions with Age UK and a coffee morning ‘Toy Swap’. It is proposed to work with the school on educating the school community about waste prevention. Further events on waste prevention during 2017 may include swap events, upcycling, food waste, etc. Updates will be provided in due course.
The ‘Cumbria Real Nappy Campaign’ is undergoing a revamp with corporatisation of the promotional material and a revamp of the website. Work is ongoing with libraries in South Lakeland to arrange displays and drop in sessions promoting Real Nappy Week (24-30 Apr.
A further Kendal Freegle ‘Give & Take Event’ to organise is to be planned for March/April.
Promotional activities will be taking place around ‘Compost Awareness Week (8-14 May).

239 Appendix I
Initiative Service Description
1 Health and Coaches to work with individuals and their families, in local Wellbeing communities, to prevent adults from requiring specialist social care Coaches and health services by supporting them to identify their health and wellbeing goals, helping them take action on factors influencing their health and wellbeing (lifestyle, relationships and economic situation), developing their skills and confidence, building their ability to become independent and resilient by engaging with their communities and social networks. Supporting and assisting people in Cumbria affected by crises or major incidents including environment disasters like flooding.
2 Place-based Providing fact to face support to vulnerable adults aged 16+ with a intervention range of identified complex needs, including mental health, social isolation, age-related health decline, housing, financial or social crisis and for those on the cups of needing a package of social care support. To enable people to take opportunities to meet their own needs within their own communities. This is grant-funded prevention activity delivered initially by the third sector.
3 National Commissioned by NHS England (NHSE) and managed by a local Diabetes partnership of Cumbria County Council and Cumbria Clinical Prevention Commissioning Group. This is a national behaviour modification Programme programme for people at risk of developing diabetes. Eligible (NDPP) patients are identified using an HbA1C blood test that measures how the body regulates glucose. Referral is currently only via GP practices who submit an electronic referral to a central hub, who then contact the patient to organise an induction. Programmes last nine months and take the form of a closed group with a focus on diabetes education, physical activity, healthy nutrition, weight management and long-term lifestyle change. Meetings are initially held weekly, then fortnightly and monthly.
GPs can refer patients to the programme at any time, but because the groups are closed, patients may need to wait until there are sufficient referrals to make a localised programme viable. The local partnership have now commissioned Cumbria Diabetes (CPFT) to promote the programme and to support geographical clusters of GP practices to undertake case finding of patient records with the aim of identifying a critical mass of patients to fill local programmes.
4 NHS Health This is a national cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention Checks programme and is a mandated service to be made available by local authorities. The programme is open to everyone aged between 40 and 74 without an existing CVD related illness. The health check calculates an individual’s chance of developing a CVD (heart disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease, diabetes and vascular dementia) within the next ten years, followed by provision of lifestyle advice and, if appropriate, a referral to a lifestyle service such as the stop smoking service or weight management on referral, with the aim of reducing the individual’s risk.
5 Stop Smoking Open access service comprising an initial face to face assessment,
240 Services motivational interviewing and provision of nicotine replacement products or a letter to the individual’s GP requesting a prescription for Varenicline/Buproprion. Pharmacies can provide up to six face to face or telephone follow up meetings.
Potential users can contact pharmacies direct, contact the county council phone line 03000 13 3000 or text Pharmacy Stop home postcode to 80011 and they will receive details of the three nearest pharmacies offering the service.
6 Tier 2 Adults aged over 18 with a BMI greater than 28 can be referred by Community their GP or a limited number of health care professionals to Slimming Weight World for 12 weeks free access to a local Slimming World group. Management The aim is to provide an additional incentive to those who might be Programme considering weight loss. At the end of the 12 week free period, the expectation is that users will use the knowledge gained from the experience to continue their weight loss attempt. Alternatively, users can continue to self fund their ongoing attendance.
The referral service is not open to those who are already accessing Slimming World or a similar service, or have done so within the previous three months. Slimming World have clinically approved procedures for providing support for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding and users with certain diagnoses such as diabetes, however, they may not be suitable for users with significant other illnesses or underlying medical reasons for their overweight or obesity.
7 Integrated Services are available from three providers: Sexual Health Services (care CPFT provide basic, intermediate and specialist STI treatment and treatment and contraceptive services from a variety of bases across the of sexually county via a mix of appointment only and walk in clinics. transmitted infections, GP practices provide basic and intermediate STI treatment plus services, plus fitting of long acting reversible contraception contraceptive (LARC) in the form of coils (IUCDS) and implants to their provision) registered practice population.
Community pharmacies provide emergency hormonal contraception (EHC) plus chlamydia tests and condoms on a walk in basis.
8 Substance A recovery orientated integrated service for those affected by illicit Misuse drug and/or alcohol dependency. Individual care packages include: information and advice, harm minimisation, community or in patient detox, residential rehabilitation, plus wraparound support. The provider Greater Manchester Mental Health Foundation NHS Trust has sub contracts with local GPs to provide shared care and community pharmacies to provide supervised methadone and needle exchange services.
9 Suicide The Provider will work in partnership with statutory agencies to Prevention deliver training workshops to practitioners and professionals working Training with children and young people, on self-harm awareness and suicide
241 prevention. Practitioners will use the learning and professional development opportunities provided through the workshops to build confidence, skills and knowledge to effectively support children and young people who self-harm and/or are at risk of suicide.
10 Better Health The Better Health at Work Award being run in CCC in partnership at Work with the TUC aims to improve workplace health by addressing key issues including physical activity, healthy eating, mental well-being, smoking cessation, alcohol and sexual health. CCC has funded the TUC to support workplaces throughout Cumbria to sign up and achieve the 3 different levels of the Award Bronze, Silver and Gold over 3 years.
The initiative provides increased access to health information, support and incentives. A number of health related courses for staff are also provided as part of the initiative, including, mental health first aid training and stress awareness training. A network of 40 Health Advocates from across the council has been established following training provided through the scheme. These advocates play a vital role in supporting people in the workplace to make healthy choices and improve their health, running and coordinating innovative campaigns, activities, events and initiatives on the ground across CCC workplaces, delivering health and wellbeing messages to staff. A ‘Workplace Health Staff Survey’ gave employees the opportunity to identify their health priorities: the top 3 health issues raised through the staff survey have been the focus of the activities/campaigns and initiatives.
The overall aim is to increase productivity, reduce absenteeism and improve staff performance, by providing support to staff to improve their health.
11 0-19 Healthy The proposed model for 2017-19 comprises: Child Programme o New ‘Strengthening Families’ service to support safeguarding (including and vulnerable families – this brings together the Family Nurse Health Partnership, School Nurses, Looked After Children Nurses, Visitors, health support to the LSCB Hub and health funding to support Strengthening safeguarding in relation to child sexual exploitation; Families Service, o Health Visiting Services – health visitors will deliver the 0-5 NCMP, universal element of the 0-19 HCP, employed through the CPFT Breastfeeding but co-located within Children’s Centres; and Oral Health) o Children’s Public Health Nursing Service – 6 Children’s Public Health Nurse roles will work with partners and oversee the universal provision of the 5-9 element of the HCP; they will be a single contact point within the locality for schools and families in relation to school aged health and will also be responsible for co- ordinating health and development reviews;
o Early Help Services – delivering on the National Child Measurement Programme for Cumbria will be the responsibilities of Children’s Centres providers who will be tasked under existing contracts to deliver improved interventions to support weight
242 management programmes; this will also include dedicated funding to encourage breastfeeding, allocated across the 6 district areas based on the number of births;
o ‘Buy-Back’ School Nursing Service - individual schools, or clusters, will be able to buy dedicated school nurse clinic time to supplement the advisory and virtual service offered by the Children’s Public Health Nursing Service (outlined above);
o Online advice and support service – building on the outcomes of the Headstart Pilot, this will offer support more widely;
o Oral Health Improvement – including Smile4Life programme in Children’s Centres, toothbrush/paste distribution via Health Visitors and brushing education, will now be funded and overseen by Local Authorities from April 2017; the Oral Health improvement provision will be integrated into Early Help by April 2019.
Please note that, at the time of writing, service specifications were in development for each aspect of the HCP.
12 Cumbria Fire Based upon the success Home Safety Visits have had in reducing and Rescue the numbers of Fire death and injuries in the home, Cumbria Fire and ‘Safe and Rescue Service have begun working more closely with colleagues in Well’ health and local authority to explore how the Fire and Rescue Programme Service might work to support them in improving health and quality of life outcomes for those most at risk in their communities.
The access that Fire and Rescue Services have to the homes of the most vulnerable is seen as a vehicle to compliment these improvements, with firefighters facilitating direct contact with vulnerable people on behalf of other agencies.
From this successful fire prevention approach the concept of ‘Safe and Well’ visits evolved. Through interactions with people in their homes, and with the necessary additional awareness training, firefighters will be able to identify and act upon a significantly wider range of risks. Not only fire risks, but those that predispose people to a number of health issues that can significantly reduce life expectancy and/or quality of life.
Home safety visits typically cover key domestic fire risks including open fires, portable heaters, electrical appliances, cooking, candles, fire detection, escape plans, smoking, alcohol, e-cigarettes and hoarding. The new ‘Safe and Well’ visits will encompass a broader range of home-based risks. These will include: Slips, Trips and Falls, Smoking Cessation, Alcohol Reduction and Social Wellbeing. ‘Safe and Well’ will allow a more detailed risk assessment around the health and social needs of people in the community and should help to prevent falls, broken hips and hospital admissions for older people and reduce risks and improve the quality of life by identifying and referring individuals for further support. 13 Active This comprises 2 main programmes: Cumbria – Physical o Forever Active with Oomph Wellness – providing training for staff
243 Activity and volunteers in residential and community settings, to address physical inactivity in older age groups;
o Learn to Play Through Smart Start – an early years targeted programme to encourage children to enjoy physical activity and increase levels of ‘physical literacy’ for children coming into reception.
14 Digital An online ‘Wellbeing Cumbria’ platform will enable wide ranging Wellbeing access to wellbeing related information, advice and digital support services. This service-wide digital system will support client wellbeing assessments, referrals between third sector agencies and outcome reporting; the Compass system (used by AgeUK South Lakes) will be used by all providers delivering wellbeing services as part of the place-based prevention programme.
15 Healthy Living Healthy Living Pharmacies is a voluntary scheme for community Pharmacy pharmacies who wish to develop their health promotion role within local communities. Interested pharmacies are expected to allocate staff to receive ‘health champion’ training. They are also expected to provide a number of public health services and to provide a number of health promotion campaigns each year. Pharmacies produce a portfolio of evidence following which they are assessed for accreditation.

21 AREA PLANNING - STANDING ITEM
The Assistant Director – Health and Wellbeing presented a report which provided an overview of the principles of Area Planning and the very local approach that had been adopted. It provided a progress update on the activity and achievements within each local committee area. This report covered the period of October to December 2016 and was shared by the Chairs and Vice Chairs.
Each of the Chairs/Vice Chairs presented the updates on progress for their own areas, for the period, which included the following:-
Allerdale
In relation to Community Development the local committee continued to work with communities to support capacity building and encourage co-delivery of services.
Of the five Community Asset Transfers (CAT) that were reported to the last meeting, two of the more significant ones (Cockermouth Library and Dreamscheme at Aspatria) had progressed further.
The Dreamscheme at Aspatria had previously received Cabinet approval to progress but a reluctance of the group following the decision meant that this did not go ahead. The Communities Team had provided support, accessed advice and worked with this organisation and the local member so that they were now confident to take this forward.
The Communities Team had also worked closely with Cockermouth Town Council and the local members in respect of the library building at Cockermouth. At the time of writing this report, the decision from Cabinet on the CAT was awaited.
The Cabinet Member for Public Health and Community Services said that when any changes in the library service were proposed the public perception was always that the services would be diminished. In the case of Cockermouth Library the only change in service was the loss of the DVD library.
Two workshops had already been held with members of the local committee on the Day Services review and further sessions would be held in early 2017. Members had fed back that they welcomed the opportunity to be involved in these discussions at a local level.
246 Barrow
Regular partnership meetings continued to be held between members of the local committee and lead members from the Borough Council. These considered a range of issues and helped to enable early discussion on any issues that may be arising or potential opportunities for closer working.
The Chair of Barrow Local Committee informed members that at a recently held Barrow Local Committee meeting, members received a presentation from the Community Rail Partnership Officer. The number of train cancellations was discussed and the need for a reliant service to support the investment in the area was highlighted. Members were informed that the cancellation of trains was being carefully monitored and reported to Northern Rail.
The Chair of Barrow Local Committee felt that an Infrastructure Sub Group needed to be established in Barrow to take issues such as these forward.
The Chair and the Chief Executive felt that further discussions on this were needed outside of the meeting. Their initial reactions were firstly that this should be the role of the Furness Economic Development Forum, and secondly the lack of economic development capacity within the County Council to support this. Further discussion on this was needed.
Carlisle
The local committee endorsed a refreshed Area Delivery Plan for Carlisle at its November meeting. Councillors had also endorsed a set of refreshed priorities, including a commitment to respond to long term public health challenges and to sustain and enhance local youth services.
The community library in Dalston closed several years ago, because of the limitations of its rented accommodation. Since then it had benefitted from a strongly enhanced mobile library presence. Joint work between officers, the local councillor, the parish council, the parochial church council and the wider community, had led to the development of a community run library that would be launched in the parish church in early January. Staffed by community volunteers, this was expected to be the precursor to a permanent library within a new multi-service community funded building, planned for 2018.
The Flood Recovery Group continued to meet regularly, with a wide range of 3rd sector and local authority partners sharing a platform to identify and tackle community concerns. Local committee had allocated funds towards flood recovery efforts and indicated a willingness to provide further support to work that would help local communities be better prepared for emergencies in the future.
Copeland
The Vice Chair said members had attended NuGen briefings on the DCO2 consultation and held specific workshops to consider the implications of the
247 proposals and any opportunities to pursue long term community benefits for the area. They had also been involved with discussions at 3 Tiers with Parish and Borough colleagues. Concerns continued to exist on the impact of the proposals on highways, health care and creation of potential skills deficit for current existing businesses in the area.
In relation to developments for Whitehaven proposals to stimulate and kick start regeneration in Whitehaven centres around 3 initial schemes; Whitehaven Streetscapes, Daniel Hay Library, archives and community learning redevelopment, development opportunities around the old Daniel Hay site.
The Copeland Community Development Centre was now operating out of the library and archive buildings. This was facilitated by revised opening hours at the Archive centres so the Copeland Community learning team could establish a fixed base within the Archive building on a Monday and Tuesday. This was the start of bringing all the community services together in Whitehaven ready for the Daniel Hay redevelopment.
Whitehaven Library had launched Discovery evenings - one evening a month and these had been well received. These allowed the general public to come into the archives informally for a 2 hour opportunity to see a variety of archive material, talk to staff and volunteers and investigate how and what the archives could do for them.
Members continued to be concerned about the ongoing problems of antisocial and threatening behaviour by some young people using Cleator Moor Library. The library was subject to afternoon closing around Christmas 2016 to try to counteract this. From January 2017 the free wi-fi service, which had been linked to this pattern of use, had been suspended as an attempt to discourage this behaviour. Unfortunately the behaviour had persisted and there had been criminal damage to staff cars and the library users were no longer coming in from 2.30 to 5pm.
In order to address the situation a joint meeting was planned with police, town council, youth providers and the County Council. This would look at options available to reduce the offending behaviour and encourage the public back into the library.
The Vice Chair thanked the Chair of Copeland Local Committee for driving forward the Traineeship Programme in Copeland. Libraries were hosting a trainee from the first cohort from the Copeland Traineeship Programme for 16-24 year olds, providing a work experience placement based on core library services and aiming to develop the trainee’s workplace skills. It was anticipated the second programme would be based at Cleator Moor and start at the beginning of March.
Eden
The Vice Chair of Eden Local Committee said the Eden Community Recovery Group continued to meet and remained a valued forum for local recovery and resilience discussions and especially for those communities that were significantly affected last December.
248 The Community Development Team would soon begin initial discussions with ACT and local Members around a key project to engage with 8 local communities and support them to make maximum use of local assets, resources and skills though synergies as “village companies”. Learning would be gathered throughout the project so that guides may be developed to support other communities to embrace the same process.
The Eden Community Development team continued to work with local members and were discussing the potential transfer of a number of Cumbria County Council properties as community assets in advance of initiating the process with appropriate local groups/parish councils.
A significant amount of work from both the team and members of the community had gone into preparation for a February request to Cabinet for Brough Parish Council to be granted freehold over a local field. The parish council intended to use the field for considerable community benefit including allotment space, relocating the local recycling centre, and creating a woodland boundary and a community outside space.
Penrith library had received some excellent feedback about a recent addition of 50 books and 5 dvds entitled “Autism – Your questions answered”. The collection provided information about those and for those living the condition and was an excellent example as to how libraries could positively impact people’s lives.
South Lakeland
In relation to the Kendal Strategic Transport Infrastructure Plan (supplement of the Local Plan) Local Committee, SLDC and Kendal Town Council had jointly commissioned a study to produce strategic options for Kendal’s future infrastructure requirements in order to facilitate inward investment, improve connectivity and increase resilience. The consultants returned in December to provide an overview of the stakeholder consultation exercise and confirm direction. A further meeting of the multi-agency steering group would take place in January to consider the potential packages, detailed options, and their viability for detailed investigation. The final results of the study were due to be completed April 2017.
In support of the ongoing Day Services Review, the Community Development Team is continuing to work with the Social Work Team to identify and assess all community provision within a number of key towns across South Lakeland which could potentially support people within their own communities.
The Chair and Vice Chair of the local committee, along with the Area Manager now met regularly with the leader and CEO of SLDC to discuss areas of common strategic interest. This was in accordance with the Area Planning/Working aims of the council and ensured a joined up approach to community issues.
249 Working with Communities and 3rd Sector – the SL Community Flood Recovery Group continued to meet on a monthly basis bringing together a wide range of 3rd sector and local authority partners. Working together enabled co-ordination of local authority and voluntary sector efforts, maximising our collective resources. At the time of writing there were 77 properties still unoccupied in the South Lakeland area. The group had pledged to continue until every person affected was back in their own or a permanent home.
The Chair thanked all the local committee Chairs/Vice Chairs for the updates.
22 LOCAL COMMITTEE BUDGET ALLOCATION 2017/18
The Senior Manager – Accountancy presented a report which sought to provide Members with an update on the strategic planning process for 2017/18 - 2019/20. The report also advised members on other updates to the Revenue and Capital allocations for Local Committees for 2017/18. Overall there was no change from 2016/17 in respect of the total Revenue Budget and Capital Budget to be allocated to local committees for 2017/18. In total Cabinet was recommending to Council that local committees receive £7989m revenue budget and £21,557m capital budget.
Cabinet at its meeting on 2 February 2017 would approve the individual Local Committee allocations (revenue and capital). Cabinet would then propose the overall Local Committee allocation for Council to consider at its meeting on 16 February 2017.
Allocations to individual committees had been updated and were calculated based on the formula agreed by Cabinet on 3 March 2011 updated for population adjustments (based on ONS data) in respect of the General Provision and 0-19 services allocations.
Updates to Local Committee Allocations - 2017/18
Local Member Schemes 2015 - 2017
In 2015/16 Cabinet and Council approved the ‘Local Member Schemes 2015 - 2016’ one off budget of £0.420m. In addition there was a carry forward from 2014/15 of £0.492m in respect of Local Member Schemes 2014/15 giving a total Local Member Schemes budget available of £0.912m.
Council agreed in June 2015, and confirmed this in February 2016, to extend the scheme until 31 March 2017. Any underspend remaining as at 31 March 17 would be released as part of the outturn position for 2016/17.
Overall Local Committees Allocations- Revenue
Allocations to individual Committees were calculated based on the formula agreed by Cabinet on 3rd March 2011 and updated by the latest population adjustments relating to the notional base budget for the General Provision and 0-19 services.
250 The latest population information was mid 2015 (the previous year’s allocations were mid 2014) and was obtained from the Office for National Statistics.
The General Provision budget was allocated based on the total population in the local area relative to the total population in the County. The 0-19 services budget was allocated based on the total 0-19 population in the local area relative to the 0-19 population in the County.
The Chair reminder members that in respect of the overall 2017/18 Council Revenue Budget the final Local Government Finance Settlement from Government was not due until around 5 February 2017.
The Chair thanked the Senior Manager for her report.
23 APPRENTICESHIP LEVY
The Assistant Director – Business Services and the Senior Manager, Learning & Skills were in attendance for this item.
The Assistant Director introduced the report which explained that the Government vision for the future of apprenticeships was published in the report ‘English Apprenticeships: our 2020 vision’, in December 2015. This provided a definition of apprenticeships, set out how quality standards would be raised, and confirmed the expectations to be made of employers and other stakeholders.
An apprenticeship provided the opportunity to work alongside skilled and experienced staff; gain on the job skills and to study for a related qualification, whilst earning a wage. There were some rules governing what an apprenticeship was, the main ones were:
The apprentice must be employed in a real job. They may be an existing employee or a new recruit. The apprentice must work towards achieving an agreed standard or framework in a particular profession. The apprenticeship training must last at least 12 months. The apprentice must spend at least 20% of their time on off-the-job training.
There were four different Apprenticeship Levels:
Degree (which is equivalent to a Batchelor’s or Master’s degree) Higher (which is equivalent to a foundation degree and above) Advanced (which is equivalent to 2 A level passes) Intermediate (which is equivalent to 5 GCSE passes A*-C)
251 The Council had employed 254 apprentices in the last five years, of these:
62% progressed to a job in the Council 22% progressed to a job outside the Council 9% progressed to Further Education or a Higher Apprenticeship
As part of these changes to apprenticeships, an “Apprenticeship Levy” would come into force in May 2017 and would be 0.5% of the Council’s pay bill. NB: only those employers with a pay bill in excess of £3M would be in scope to pay the apprenticeship levy.
The levy would be collected from the Council monthly via PAYE.
Community Schools would be in scope for the levy. Local authorities would be responsible for paying the levy in community schools they maintained, where the local authority employed the staff and paid National Insurance contributions (NICs).
Foundation and voluntary aided schools, Stand-alone academies and Academies that were part of multi-academy trusts employed their own staff and would be responsible for paying the levy where their pay bill was in excess of £3M.
The government would pay 90% of the cost of apprenticeship training and assessment for:
employers that have a pay bill of less than £3m and do not pay the levy those that have used all the funds in their digital account.
The employer would be required to pay the remaining 10%.
The Council would have a Digital Apprenticeship account where they could authorise payment from their levy pot to cover apprentice training. The digital account and government funding has strict criteria for usage.
Additional funding would be available to employers and training providers if they trained a 19 to 24 year old apprentice leaving care or who had a Local Authority Education and Healthcare plan.
Additional funding would also be available to employers if they trained a 16 to 18 year old apprentice.
Employers with fewer than 50 employees would have 100% of the training and assessment costs covered when training a 16-18 year old (or 19-24 year old formerly in care or has a LA Education, Health and Care plan).
Apprenticeship Targets for Public Sector Bodies
The Enterprise Act contained provision to amend the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 so that the Secretary of State could set targets for
252 prescribed public bodies in relation to the number of apprentices working for them in England. The Council was in scope for these targets.
The clause included a duty on all prescribed public bodies that were set a target (proposed at 2.3%) of the total headcount. The Council would have a duty to report quarterly to the Secretary of State and publish information annually on progress towards meeting the target.
All public sector bodies with a headcount (of individual employees) of over 250 or more in England at the start of a reporting year would be considered in scope and have to report against that target. The bodies in scope would be reviewed annually to reflect organisational change.
The outcome of the Government consultation on the introduction of Public Sector targets was published on Friday 20 January 2017. This confirmed that the 2.3% target would be introduced from 1 April 2017. Achievement of the annual targets would be measured as an average of the 2017/18 to 2020/21 annual apprenticeships.
The introduction of these Public Sector targets would mean that the Council’s target would be 144 apprentices each year, rising to 250 when Community Schools were included. In order to deliver these targets a six fold increase on the current apprenticeship programme would be required.
Implementing the Levy
An Apprenticeship reform group had been established, chaired by the Apprenticeship and School Development Manager, with representation from services across the Council to ensure that the Council was ready for the introduction of the levy.
Task and Finish groups for Legal, Finance, People Management and Marketing and Communications had been set up to implement the steps necessary to manage the change.
The Finance team had communicated with community schools the implications of the levy introduction.
Succession Planning
Apprenticeships had a key role to play in supporting the Council’s approach to succession planning. An analysis of the Council’s current age profile showed an average age of 46 with less than 5% of the workforce under 25.
Work was underway with frontline services to build apprenticeships into new structures and to identify hard to reach vacancies where a ‘grow your own’ approach could be taken to recruitment utilising the apprenticeship programme.
253 Key challenges for the Council
There were some key challenges for the Council in making the changes required by the levy and the introduction of Public sector apprenticeship targets:
Lack of information from the Government on some aspects of employer implementation of the levy Lack of employer guidance on the implementation of the Public Sector apprenticeship targets The challenge of significantly increasing apprenticeship numbers at a time when the Council was reducing its workforce and in particular the availability of a job at the end of the apprenticeship. The staff and resource needed to introduce the changes needed, significantly increase the apprenticeship programme and manage the digital apprenticeship account. The apprenticeship team was a very small team of three people, working across the Council. Other Councils were introducing additional post(s) to support the increased requirements.
The Assistant Director – Business Services felt that local committees could have an important role to play in implementing this. It was AGREED that the Senior Manager – Learning and Skills would engage individually with each local committee to take this forward.
The Chairs of the local committees would welcome discussions on this with the Assistant Director and Senior Manager – Learning and Skills.
Members had concerns about the resources required to manage such a large number of new apprentices, especially with the shrinking workforce of the council.
Members asked if it would be possible for the apprenticeships employed within the districts to be included in the targets for the county council, as they were too small individually to be included in this. The Senior Manager – Learning and Skills explained that, at the current time, only apprentices employed by Cumbria County Council could be funded through the levy and count towards the targets. However, she was sure that there would be the opportunity to work collaboratively with the district to build a Cumbrian approach to apprenticeships.
It was AGREED that an update be provided to the next LCCL meeting on progress.
The Chair thanked officers for the report.
24 PRESENTATION - SYRIAN REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT PROGRAMME
Members received a presentation from the Senior Manager – Policy and Scrutiny on the Syrian Refugee Resettlement Programme, which included:-
An update on the programme Provision of Support How the programme would work
254 Update on the programme – in September 2015 the Government introduced the Syrian Programme, which was a commitment to resettle 20,000 refugees. Work within Cumbria on this had been progressed through the Cumbria Leadership Board (CLB). In December 2016 the County Council’s Cabinet agreed to act as the ‘lead authority’ for this programme.
The pledge was to take 285 refugees over a three year period, and the councils would be working with regions to manage intake across the North West.
The first arrivals in Cumbria were expected in early April 2017, and could include up to 5/6 families, subject to the accommodation size available.
Provision of Support – funding would be available for each individual to cover the cost of travel, accommodation, access to interpreters, ESOL (English as a second language) and integration case work.
How the programme would work – referrals would be made to Cumbria in late Jan/early Feb, and would be filtered by the Regional Strategic Migration Partnership (RSMP) to ensure fit with the Cumbria offer. Intensive support would be provided for orientation to the UK, benefits and access to GPs etc.
Members felt that the situation would need to be carefully managed to protect the individuals involved and protect their personal information. They felt sure there would be a great deal of press interest in this.
Members asked for reassurance that the Area Managers would be closely involved in this. The Senior Manager confirmed they would be involved.
The Chair thanked the Senior Manager for her presentation.
25 DATE & TIME OF NEXT MEETING
The next meeting will be held on 10 April 2017 at 10am in Kendal.
It was AGREED that an update on the Apprenticeships Levy would be provided at this meeting.
The meeting ended at 11.40 am
