QUESTIONING BY MEMBERS OF OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY The ability to ask good, pertinent questions lies at the heart of successful and effective scrutiny. To support members with this, a range of resources, including guides to questioning, are available via the Centre for Public Scrutiny website www.cfps.org.uk. The following questions have been agreed by Scrutiny members as a good starting point for developing questions:- Who was consulted and what were they consulted on? What is the process for and quality of the consultation? How have the voices of local people and frontline staff been heard? What does success look like? What is the history of the service and what will be different this time? What happens once the money is spent? If the service model is changing, has the previous service model been evaluated? What evaluation arrangements are in place – will there be an annual review?

Medium Term Financial Strategy 2019/20 - 2022/23. The Committee considered a joint report of the Director of Environment and Transport and Director of Corporate Resources which provided information on the proposed 2019/20 to 2022/23 Medium Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) as it related to the Environment and Transport Department. A copy of the report marked ‘Agenda Item ‘8’ is filed with these minutes. The Chairman welcomed Mr Rhodes CC, the Cabinet Lead Member for Resources and Mrs Radford CC, the Cabinet Support Member to the meeting for this item. Proposed Revenue Budget and Budget Transfers and Service Transformation In introducing the report, Cabinet Lead Members for Resources advised members of the financial challenges facing the Council. The Revenue Support Grant would reduce from £8.5million to zero. The inflationary and demand pressures on services provided by the Council were increasing. The Cabinet had indicated that it would prioritise adult social care and children services. However, the Cabinet recognised the pressures on the Environment and Transport Department and the need to provide good and sustainable services and had provided growth of £2million for SEN Transport and £800,000 per annum dealing with HS2 and ash dieback forestry. The Government was looking to change the funding formula but this would not happen until 2020/21 at the earliest. It was anticipated that the funding formula would address some of the current anomalies and this might improve the Council’s financial position in the future. If that were not to happen the financial outlook would be severe. The Director advised of the significant change that had taken place across the Department to enable it to achieve total savings of £43million since 2010/11. The Department faced increasing pressures arising primarily from:- Higher expectations form the public about levels of service and response times; 7 Increasing demand form population growth; Higher rates of inflation particularly within the construction sector; The need to respond to the growth agenda in terms of planning and bidding for infrastructure projects; Increasing difficulties in recruiting and retaining staff. The savings now expected from the Department were extremely challenging. The Department and its partners were looking at smarter working and delivery and to invest to save schemes. The growth in the staffing budget reflected the need to engage staff to help the Council develop infrastructure bids (such as the Melton Mowbray Distributor Road and Housing Infrastructure Bids) and to ensure that the Council responds to the HS2 project. With regard to HS2 the Council was seeking to mitigate the adverse impacts and maximising opportunities such as the case for classic connectivity as well as supporting businesses to take advantage of potential business opportunities. With regard to inflation this was held centrally and allocated in-year when the position became clearer. In response to questions and comments the Committee was advised as follows:- Growth G15– SEN Transport i) This growth was essentially to meet the increasingly complex needs now being presented by some service users. Savings – Highways and Transport ET1 – Revised Passenger Transport Policy ii) All supported bus services would be assessed using the new criteria set out in the Passenger Transport Policy which was recently agreed by the Cabinet. It was therefore not possible to give any commitment about the future of any particular bus service ahead of the review. {Mr Bill CC asked that it be recorded that he opposed this savings proposal as it would adversely impact bus service provision}. ET2– Social Care and SEN Transport iii) The impact of the new eligibility criteria would be reviewed following 12 months of operation and the outcome reported to the Committee. Members were reminded that the policy made provision for exceptions on appeal and a contingency of 20% had been built into the budget for this purpose.

  • Tilton on the Hill Settlement Profile Introduction
    Tilton on the Hill Settlement Profile Introduction General Location: Tilton on the Hill (hereby referred to as Tilton), lies on the B6047 that connects Market Harborough (14 miles away) to Melton Mowbray (11 miles away). The village is in the north-east of Harborough District, sitting only 2 miles north of the A47. Tilton parish is one of the largest in the District and embraces numerous past and current settlements such as Halstead, Whatborough and Marefield. The settlement neighbours Skeffington to the south, Billesdon, Cold Newton and Lowesby to the west, Marefield and Owsten and Newbold to the north, with Loddington, Launde and Withcote lying to the east. Beyond its Harborough District neighbours, the parish is in close proximity to Melton Borough and Rutland County. The village centre is a conservation area (with the church, pub and Main Street constituting its centre) and the parish contains 5 scheduled ancient monuments. Such a rich history can be explained by Tilton’s location, at the crossroads of two ancient, pre-Roman pathways that date back to the Bronze Age. Furthermore, the village was recognised not only as ‘The Best Village in Leicestershire’ in the Calor Village of the Year Awards 2009, but also as the ‘Sustainability Village of the Year’ for the Midlands in the same year. An achievement that can be considered the fruits of ‘Tilton Green’s’ labour – a community centred on improving Tilton’s environmental record (discussed in Tilton Parish Council section). Lastly, Tilton is among one of the highest places in east Leicestershire, standing at 219 metres above sea level near the peak of the High Leicestershire area.

  • The Manors of Allexton, Appleby and Ashby Folville
    The Manors of Allexton, Appleby and Ashby Folville. BY GEORGE FARNHAM, M.A., F.S.A., AND A. HAMILTON THOMPSON, M.A., F.S.A. PREFACE. Since the appearance of Nichols' History of Leicestershire, pub­ lished between 1795 and 1815, the materials for original work upon local history and topography have been considerably extended, and many classes of documents are now available for research which serve at once to supplement and correct the information contained in the older county histories.. While Nichols' famous volumes must always remain the foundation for any future work upon the history of Leicestershire, the student who knows how to make use of them finds that their statements constantly stand in need of verification and that their accuracy is seriously impaired by their author's partial and arbitrary use of his documents. For some time past the present writers have entertained the idea of bringing together the results of their several collections of material illus­ trating the manorial and ecclesiastical annals of the county, and it will be found that the notes which follow in the form of con­ nected narratives endeavour to fill up gaps in the story of the three places concerned and to present in consecutive order information which hitherto has been treated merely in outline or overlooked altogether. For the chief part of the work, tracing the descent of the manors, and for the pedigrees Mr. Farnham is responsible. The notes upon advowsons and the lists of incumbents, which con­ siderably amplify Nichols' imperfect and carelessly compiled lists, are supplied by his collaborator.
