8 PRESENTATION

The Local Committee received a presentation from Julie Batsford, Welfare Assistance Manager, and Nick Wright, Programme Officer on the local welfare assistance programme.

By way of background it was explained that when the Government had abolished crisis loans and community care grants in April of this year it had provided some limited funding to local authorities to help them to develop other forms of support based on local circumstances and need.

The County Council was using this funding to develop a dedicated advice support and information service to help people who found themselves in severe hardship or crisis. This service, which was launched on 2nd April 2013, was delivered by a telephone based advice team called community support. The Local Committee was advised that the team could be flexible in their advice and tailor a support solution to specific circumstances. As well as helping to resolve a crisis it also helped to address the cause of the problem and prevent reoccurrence. It had links with other organisations such as the Children’s Centres and, where no other support options

8 existed, the team could provide one-off financial assistance to buy essential supplies with a pre-paid card.

The Local Committee was advised of the demand on the service countywide since it had been launched, and of the split of calls by area.

During discussion the Welfare Manager explained that prior to the launch steps had been taken to ensure that partner organisations and the public were made fully aware of the new service and how they could access it. The team had held a number of engagement sessions countywide, and had presented at relevant forums. A press release had been issued, and a service information leaflet developed and distributed to appropriate locations.

A member made the point that the telephone number of the advice team, which had a Carlisle code, might be off putting to people living some distance away and she suggested that the introduction of district codes would encourage more people to contact the service.

During the course of the discussion the Local Committee was advised that the team was linking up with all District Housing Teams; most of the calls received so far had been for food or energy; other support on offer included clothing, furniture, and school uniforms.

The Welfare Manager stressed that the service was in the early stages of development and issues, such as how to provide for those people in areas where support was not immediately available, were being looked into.

The Chair on behalf of the Local Committee thanked Ms Batsford and Mr Wright for attending the Local Committee to give their presentation.

9 MINUTES

On minute 108 – Children and Young Peoples Working Group – a member asserted that the resolution at (b) and (c) was incorrect and that the Committee had agreed to allocate £62,000 to meet the cost of the A2B NoWcard scheme for the financial year 2013-14 from the 0-19 Services budget and she moved this as an amendment to the minutes. Subject to this amendment the minutes of the meeting of the Local Committee held on 15 March 2013 were confirmed, as circulated, and thereupon signed by the Chair.

10 APPOINTMENTS TO OUTSIDE BODIES

Following the County Council elections a report by the Corporate Director – Resources invited the Local Committee to make appointments to outside bodies in the South Lakeland area. As well as the list of outside bodies set out in the appendix to the report a letter had been received from Sight Advice South Lakes asking if the Local Committee wished to nominate an observer to their Trustee Board.

From: Chief Executive’s Office

STRATEGIC PLANNING GROUP – LOCAL COMMITTEE BUSINESS PLANNING 2013/14

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 The 2013/14 Council Budget agreed the Local Committee devolved allocations. This report outlines proposals, following the Strategic Planning Group meeting, to manage the ‘communities’ budgets in the new local committee budget.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS

2.1 Improved locality working is one of the ways in which the council is delivering on the ‘better’ theme in the Council Plan with the overall aim of improving Council services. The approaches outlined in this report underpin all the aims and activities with that part of the Plan.

2.2 The development, operation and monitoring of the Council Plan requires an increased focus on the Council’s performance against the identified outcomes, increasingly understood through localities. Local Committee’s Area Plan evidences the very specific needs of the South Lakeland area. This Business Planning activity refreshes the priorities contained within the Area Plan, ensuring they are relevant and remain within the corporate framework.

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 Members approve the priorities determined for the South Lakeland area and the focus for Local Committee activity for 2013/14, Appendix A.

3.2 Members approve an indicative amount of £55K towards Neighbourhood Grants from the General Provisions Budget.

3.3 Members approve an indicative amount of £30K towards Economic Initiatives in the South Lakeland area from the General Provisions budget.

57 3.4 Members approve to contribute £7,500 from the Economic Initiatives budget to support the Kendal Futures co-ordinator post as set out in Appendix C.

3.5 Members approve not to allocate any funding at present towards additional Kendal Futures projects pending the outcome of the Kendal BID, Appendix C.

3.6 Members approve to contribute £7,500 from the Economic Initiatives budget to support Mintfest 2013 through Kendal Arts International Ltd as set out in Appendix D.

3.7 Members agree to support the Lakes International Comic Art Festival from the Economic Initiatives budget in the form of a guarantee against loss to the value of £5,000 as set out in Appendix E.

3.8 Members approve to contribute £2,500 from the Economic Initiatives budget to support the Cartmel Village Access study as set out in Appendix F.

3.9 Members consider approval of the School Crossing Patrol Service Budget totalling £24,745 to fund the provision of filled sites across South Lakeland.

3.10 Members approve an amount of £47,550 towards the Money Advice contract delivered through the Citizens Advice Bureau.

3.11 Members approve a maximum sum of £44,000 in support of the Sandgate Hydrotherapy Pool running costs.

3.12 Members agree to develop a format of engagement and grant delivery within their forum areas in discussion with the responsible Area Engagement Officer, Appendix G.

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 The 2013/14 Local Committee budget was agreed by Full Council at its meeting on 14 February 2013. The delegated budget lines have again been streamlined to afford Local Committees the opportunity to determine the priorities for their area and target spend accordingly, while operating within the Council’s Policy Framework.

4.2 At the first meeting of the Strategic Planning group, Members of the Local Committee for South Lakeland reaffirmed the priorities and focus for activity for the coming year. Four area specific priorities had previously been agreed in May 2012 all of which are underpinned by the Council’s 3 strategic priorities for 2012-2014 and together these will inform resource allocation during the year.

4.3 The four areas identified as requiring continued focus in the South Lakeland area are:

 Economic Development

 Education and Skills

 Travel and Accessibility

 Health and Well-Being

58 4.4 The above sets of priorities will enable Members to target their resources effectively over the coming year in order to address local needs and priorities. In addition to targeting locally delegated resources Members will seek to influence service delivery and provide community leadership in order to address the targets set within the South Lakeland Area Plan. The remainder of this report makes proposals for allocating the various community budgets delegated to Local Committee, Appendix B.

Area Support Team

4.5 The Local Committee has £128,778 allocated under this budget heading. The Area Support Team has concentrated activity on community engagement and encouraging the community to take part in helping shape council services. Activity continues to encourage colleagues from across the Council to utilise the skills of the Area Support team to engage, listen and respond to the needs of local people and the places where they live. The team has continued to work alongside local members to support them in their community leadership role.

4.6 At a Members Review session held in March 2013 the subject of Community Engagement and the efficacy of current practices was discussed and highlighted. A review of current engagement methods has been undertaken and an analysis of future options has been provided to Members, Appendix G.

4.7 The Area Support team will work alongside Members to develop a programme of engagement appropriate to the local area with consideration given to the mechanism of distributing Neighbourhood Grants. An evaluation of the process will be undertaken in 12 months time to assess the efficacy of any changes implemented.

4.8 Members have a preference for a minimum of two meetings to take place in each forum area between September 2013 and March 2014 at the discretion of the local member. In addition officers will continue to support Members in their community champion roles delivering bespoke engagement based upon local issues.

General Provisions

4.9 Neighbourhood Grants

The Area Team will continue to work with community groups and support the application process, carry out all the necessary checks and administer the Neighbourhood Forums. An indicative amount of £55K has been set aside for Neighbourhood Grants and the means of distributing grants will be determined locally by each forum area.

4.10 Economic Initiatives

Members would like to recommend an indicative amount of £30K towards Economic Initiatives in the South Lakeland area. Members will continue to build upon the previous priorities identified with support from the council’s Economic Development team.

4.11 Local Area Partnerships

The team will continue to support the development of the LAPs with a continued attendance at meetings providing support to Members and acting as a conduit between the County Council and the parishes within the local areas.

59 4.12 School Crossing Patrols

A draft Service Agreement has been prepared at a total cost of £26,015, Appendix H. The agreement is based upon the 8 established sites with school crossing patrols in place. A vacancy currently exists and therefore a surplus will arise during the year. Cabinet previously agreed that sites which had been vacant for over 3 years were to be disestablished. The devolved budget allocated for this service is based on delivered kerb hours but any surplus gathered over the year may be used towards future road safety initiatives.

4.13 Money Advice Contract

This budget of £47,550 covers the costs of an existing contract with CAB to provide debt and money advice. Local Committee has continued to receive regular performance reports regarding delivery of the contract and has a deep understanding of the issues the service is addressing. Local Committee will continue to receive performance reports on a half yearly basis.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 Members may decide not to support the above recommendations, but must note that this will impact on the ability of Local Committee to meet the Council’s priorities and the agreed focus for the local area in 2013/14.

6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1 The total budget amount for General Provisions for 2013-14 is £114,498 of which £55,000 is recommended for Forums and £30,000 is requested for Economic Initiatives. If these recommendations in 3.2 and 3.3 are approved this will leave a remaining balance in General Provisions of £29,498

6.2 Should the recommendations in 3.4 – 3.8 are approved then this would leave a remaining balance in Economic Initiatives of £7,500.

6.3 The remaining recommendations 3.9 - 3.11 would fully engage the budgets in those areas.

7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1 There are no specific legal implications at this time.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 The report outlines Members opportunity to more clearly focus ‘community’ activity managed through Local Committee in line with Council priorities and area specific need.

62 Appendix A

Notes of the meeting of South Lakeland Local Committee Strategic Planning Group held on 17th June 2013.

Attended by: Cllrs G Cook (Chair), I Stewart, M Wilson, J Bland, W Wearing (sub for J Airey) Also in attendance: Cllrs S Evans, S Collins Officer: Kelly Alty, Interim Area Support Manager

1. Apologies and Declarations of Interest. Apologies were received from Cllr Rod Wilson. There were no declarations of interest.

2. Business Planning – Allocation of 2013/14 Devolved Budgets The Interim Area Support Manager outlined for members details of the headline budgets available for 2013/14. These are either ring fenced or fully flexible in terms of viring to other budget lines.

Area Support Team £128,778 ring fenced General Provision £114,497 flexible School Crossing Patrols £ 24,745 ring fenced Sandgate Pool £ 44,000 ring fenced Money Advice Contract £ 47,550 ring fenced 0-19 Services £106,765 flexible

Members agreed that their main priorities for the coming year were the same as outlined in the current Area Plan, i.e. Economic Development, Education and Skills, Transport & Accessibility and Health & Well Being.

Local Committee in June 2013 had confirmed an allocation of £62,000 from the 0-19 Services budget to Young Person’s Transport to support the A2B NoW scheme until March 2014. This will leave a balance of £44,765 which could be allocated to grants and support for other youth services including the Youth Council and Early Intervention based upon identified priorities. Some members expressed concern about the rising cost of the A2B Now scheme and suggested that it should be closely monitored and that fares might be increased to offset this.

A report will be presented to the July meeting of Local Committee on the results achieved from financial support for Apprenticeship schemes with SMEs in 2012/13, but it is already known that further funding will be required if this scheme is to continue through 2013/14. Recommendations on the final distribution of the 0-19 Services budget will be made through the Children & Young People’s Working Group

After some discussion about the need to be more strategic overall in the awarding of grants and the importance of funding support to rural communities in particular, members agreed to recommend the following allocations from the General Provision Budget: £30k to Economic and Cultural Initiatives and £55k to Neighbourhood Grants. The Neighbourhood Grants budget is to be split on the same basis as 2012/13 across the eight Neighbourhood Forum areas. If agreed, these recommendations will leave an unallocated balance of £29,497 in General Provision for future use.

Recommendations

63 That Local Committee agrees;

To vire £30,000 from the General Provision budget to the Economic Initiatives budget

To vire £55,000 from General Provision to the Neighbourhood Grants budget

No funding will be allocated to the Local Area Partnerships in 2013/14

3. Applications for Funding Members were presented with four applications requesting funding support.

a) Kendal Futures. This application was split into two parts with a request for £7,500 to support the employment of the Co-ordinator and a further total of £5,000 to support three projects. Members agreed that without a Co-ordinator in post then nothing would happen. However, they expressed concern that currently local businesses make no direct contribution to Kendal Futures but hoped that if the proposal to create a Business Improvement District (BID) for the town is successful then this will be addressed.

Recommendation That Local Committee agrees:

To contribute £7,500 from the Economic Initiatives budget to support the Co-ordinator post at Kendal Futures

That no funding is allocated at present to any other projects for Kendal Futures, pending the outcome of the proposal to establish a Kendal BID

b) Kendal Arts International – Mintfest Kendal Arts International had requested a sum of £15,000 to support the 2013 Mintfest street art festival in Kendal. After much discussion between members about the returns from contributions made by Local Committee in previous years the following recommendation was agreed.

Recommendation: That Local Committee agrees:

To contribute £7,500 from the Economic Initiatives budget to support Mintfest 2013

c) Lakes International Comic Art Festival Members discussed an application received for an amount of £5,000 to support this new international festival to be held in Kendal in October 2013. As the financial model for the event shows that the organisers intend to generate as much income as possible from ticket sales and other earned income opportunities, members agreed to offer support in the form of a guarantee against loss, as is usual for events where admission fees are being levied.

Recommendation That Local Committee agrees

64 To offer support to the 1st Lakes International Comic Art Festival in the form of a Guarantee Against Loss of £5,000.

d) Cartmel Village Access Study Within its new Community Plan Lower Allithwaite Parish Council has identified a need for a clear vision for the village of Cartmel and to eliminate or improve constraints surrounding various issues, including but not restricted to traffic management. Advice and information has been sought from those involved in a similar project in Sedbergh and the Parish Council now wishes to commission a professional and multi disciplinary study to provide evidenced recommendations on a holistic approach to future working. Members agreed the following recommendation

Recommendation That Local Committee agrees:

To offer a one-off contribution of £2,500 from the Economic Initiatives budget to support the Cartmel village study

4. Engagement Review Following discussions about engagement and how to reach a wider community audience during the Member’s Review Session held on 25th March 2013, the Area Support team was tasked to review its current engagement and information giving methods. One of the main aspects of community engagement at present is the Neighbourhood Forums. However, analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of this format and of attendance by the general public over the past two years led the team to conclude that there were more productive and efficient means of reaching a far wider audience. Members agreed that the current Neighbourhood Forum format was not a “one size fits all” option and worked less well in some areas. It was suggested therefore that members for each Forum area would meet with the AEO responsible for that area to discuss how they wished to proceed.

If members wished to change the Forum format within their area then they would also need to establish, with the AEO, a means of distributing the Neighbourhood grant allocation for that area. This could potentially be based upon models used elsewhere in the county or in other local authorities. It was suggested that, with local discretion, at least two meetings should take place in each Forum area between September and March.

Members also stated that they wished to encourage officers to undertake more conversations with other funding bodies to learn what projects they were supporting and why. Members further requested that a report be presented in twelve months time outlining what changes have taken place in the delivery of engagement within the South Lakeland area and what has improved, or not, following those changes.

Recommendation

That Members meet with the AEO for their Forum area to discuss Member’s preferred methods of wider engagement delivery and distribution of grant funding.

Any Other Business Travel Strategy

65 Members were keen that this should be included as part of the Area Planning process and should accurately reflect the needs of the local area. Communication with Rob Terwey, Integrated Transport Manager, to be maintained.

Distribution of Funding It was suggested that new members might find it useful as part of their initial development to have a workshop or at least further detailed guidance on the allocation of grants and Members Revenue funding. The Interim ASM was asked if her AEO’s would also communicate directly to all members their timetable for submitting reports to Local Committee, with final warning of dates being sent in advance of each deadline.

Ulverston Buses Members requested that a summary of the current figures for the support given to the six month pilot of the merged Service 60/70 in Ulverston should be sent to the Chair of the Highways and Transportation Working Group plus Cllrs Airey and M. Wilson, ahead of the Group’s meeting on 20th June. If the Group had any comments to make then these would be presented to Local Committee in July. The Interim ASM to follow up with C. Cowperthwaite.

Date of Next Meeting TBC – date options to be circulated by Interim ASM/ESO

Meeting Date 17th June, 2013

Name of Organisation Kendal Futures

About the Organisation The County Council was instrumental in establishing the Kendal Futures Board to help coordinate and deliver the recommendations contained in the Kendal Regeneration Action Plan. The Local Committee is currently represented on the public /private sector Board by the Chairman and agreed in July 2007 to make a contribution of £10,000 per annum for 3 years towards the appointment of the Programme Manager. The financing and support for the Kendal Futures Board was restructured in January 2011 and the Board contracted a part time, self-employed Project Co-ordinator to support project delivery. In March 2012, the Local Committee made a further contribution of £6,000 to support the co-ordinator post for another year, ending in March 2013.

Project description and benefit to the community At the September 2012 Local Committee meeting Members received the Kendal Futures Annual Report which summarised past achievements and the Board’s future work programme. Through close partnership working with South Lakeland District Council, Cumbria County Council, Kendal Town Council, local businesses, public agencies and groups, Kendal Futures has worked to secure funding packages and provide support and resource into the local economy and helped to deliver and facilitate a range of economic regeneration projects within the 4 key themes of: 1. Adding value: Moving businesses up the value chain 2. Investing in Kendal town centre: Strategic projects 3. Boosting enterprise and business birth rate 4. Promoting excellent economic infrastructure

The bulk of Kendal Future’s work in the past year has focused on leading the development of a Business Improvement District in Kendal. A consultant has been engaged (with funding from Local Committee, South Lakeland District Council, and Kendal Town Council), a steering group formed, the views of businesses have been collated into a business plan and project priorities established. The town will have the opportunity to vote for or against the establishment of a Business Improvement District in October 2013.

Other highlights of the year’s achievements include hosting the national Action for Market Towns Convention in October 2012, delivering the fourth (and greatly improved) Kendal Festival of Food in partnership with two external event organisers, securing £10k to work with Kendal College to develop a pilot Digital and Creative Enterprise Centre business incubator project (as one of the DCLG Town Teams projects), working with partners and local businesses to help facilitate the successful delivery of Cumbria County Council’s Highgate enhancement scheme, installing new visitor signage at locations on the outskirts of the town centre to promote the attractions and encourage walking and continuing the co-ordination of the Kendal Courtesy Toilet Scheme.

Priorities for 2013/14 include continuing with the Business Improvement District development work and leading a ‘vote yes’ campaign in the run up to the ballot, holding another successful Kendal Festival of Food, working with Cumbria Highways and the town’s visitor attractions to improve the brown and white tourism signage on the A591 and within the town centre, completing small regeneration projects within the town centre, working with Action for Market Towns on benchmarking and continuing to work to improve access and parking in line with the Kendal Futures car parking priorities

Funding is being sought to contribute towards the Kendal Futures Co-ordinator post plus the following projects;

Brown / White Tourism Signage - This project will develop and install improved brown and white tourist signage before the junctions on the A591 (north 68and south), at the junctions, and prior to, and at, Plumgarth’s roundabout. The signs will be larger and offer more detail (highlighting Kendal’s attractions with symbols and words) and compete with the Bowness signage to attract visitors to Kendal. Signage would also be improved within the town to improve visitor flow and ease of access.

Kendal Sense of Place guide –to amend and reprint the guide, print and professional distribution to key target visitor areas - 50,000 copies.

Photography – improving and updating the image stock for Kendal. Images would be used for leaflets, websites and professional documents to promote the town to visitors and locals.

About the Organisation

Kendal Arts International (KAI) was set up in 2006, as companies limited by guarantee, to create, produce and promote international quality outdoor arts events and festivals which aims;

• To provide the people of Cumbria and visitors with a top-class artistic experience • To establish Cumbria as a world-class culture-led tourism destination • To encourage all kinds of people to engage with, appreciate and take part in culture and the arts

Project description and benefit to the community

Mintfest is to be the main legacy aspect of the 2009-2012 Olympic Legacy programme with confirmed funding from Arts Council England. Mintfest is one of the U.K.'s leading street arts festivals and in 2012 reached an estimated audience of 25,000 of which 50% were visitors with the rest being drawn from the wider South Lakeland areas. The programme covers a range of art forms with a particular emphasis on new British work. This year’s festival is due to take place from the 30 August -1 September 2013.

Mintfest continues to evolve and this year’s event includes the Mintfest International Summer School for Street Arts which runs from Saturday 23 August to 1 September 2013, and the Xtrax International Showcase which will attract at least 120 outdoor arts professionals to Kendal from across the world. The company continues to develop its local partnerships and Mintfest will be used as a catalyst for community/youth arts activity by The Brewery Arts Centre to further collaboration and extend the reach of their work to new audiences. Mintfest brings considerable economic benefits to the area and significant spend increases by visitors impacting upon local businesses, additional spend through last year’s festival was estimated at more than £1.2 million. The festival has also raised the external profile of the area through its national and international reputation.

The total budget for the delivery of Mintfest 2013 is estimated in the region of £290,000. Kendal Arts International have secured £215,000 from Arts Council England, £5,000 from Kendal Town Council, £35,000 from South Lakeland District Council and aim to raise £20,000 from the private sector/earned income.

Appendix E – Lakes International Comic Art Festival

Meeting Date 17th June, 2013

Name of Organisation Lakes International Comic Art Festival

About the Organisation

A new annual not-for-profit comic art festival in Kendal in October 2013 aiming to appeal to people right across South Lakeland and Cumbria as well as attracting visitors from all over the world. It will help to sustain and develop Kendal and South Lakeland’s reputation as a place and destination for international quality festivals and events.

Project description and benefit to the community

A new annual not-for-profit comic art festival has been created by Lakes Arts Ltd and is due to be held in Kendal during October 2013. The festival aims to appeal to not only individuals from across South Lakeland yet also additionally attract visitors from all over the world which in turn will help to sustain and develop Kendal and South Lakeland’s reputation as a place and destination for international quality festivals and events. Comic art is inclusive and attracts a diverse range of audiences which continues to grow in popularity.

The festival will be the first of its kind within the UK celebrating the diversity of the comic art form featuring a variety of events including; film, live drawing and performance events, exhibitions, workshops and master- classes, portfolio reviews alongside family-orientated and participatory activity aimed at schools and colleges. The festival will feature free and ticketed events aiming to engage local audiences and those new to comic art.

From an economic perspective as the first festival of its kind within the UK, this will have the ability to draw new audiences to the area increasing local spend. A financial model and strategy is in place with the aim of increasing capacity year on year to encourage sustainability and growth.

The financial model is to generate as much income as possible from ticket sales and other earned income opportunities. Year One will focus upon building good relationships with the comic art “industry” with a view to increasing charges from year two. The ticket sales target is 60% capacity and donations from the public for free activities will be encouraged. A strategy is in place for increasing capacity from year 2 and, therefore, the percentage of earned income to enable sustainability and growth.

The total budget for the delivery of the Lakes Comic art fest has been estimated in the region of £50,000. Lakes Arts Ltd has so far secured £10,000 from the Arts Council, £5,000 from South Lakeland District Council, £5,000 from Kendal Town Council, £1,000 from Kendal Library, £2,000 sponsorship and £20,000 anticipated earned income.

Appendix F - Cartmel - A Studied Approach

Introduction  Cartmel is not only special it is unique. The new Community Plan gives a clear vision for the village. It identifies what is valued now and also provides a clear direction for the future if we are to preserve what we value.  Cartmel is special, a fact recognised by the commitment by the Village Society working in conjunction with S.L.D.C, to produce a Conservation Management Plan.  People come to live, work and visit Cartmel because of its unique qualities - Its Tranquillity - Its sense of community and the pleasant everyday feel for residents - Its historic townscape centred on the Priory - Its rich and diverse landscape - Its thriving and interesting village economy

Issues and Constraints

72  The village does have issues which need to be resolved. These could all too easily be linked to access and traffic management concerns. Cartmel does have a number of constraints which contribute to access difficulties but the constraints are about more than traffic management- they include : - - Townscape and the public realm. - Economic growth with new and expanding businesses - Increasing visitor footfall and numbers - Conflicting interests – residents, visitors, events, church and school - Movement and access for pedestrians, cyclists, horse riders, vehicles of all types including agricultural and large vehicles and also includes parking, deliveries and overall traffic management. - The growing use and development of the Race Course for events. - The village often seems to be at saturation point with a need for conflicting interests to be managed.  Protecting what is good and sensibly managing constraints will improve the quality of life – the Cartmel experience – for every one! Any approach must be holistic and look at all of the aspects listed above.

Moving On  The status quo is not an option  The issues and constraints identified above are not new and over the years attempts a have been made to resolve individual problems with little success as the problem has just moved elsewhere. Accepted thinking at Parish Council and in the Community Plan is that Cartmel’s uniqueness needs to be recognised and that a holistic approach needs to be adopted when identifying and seeking remedies to overcome issues and constraints.  Such an approach will recognise that Cartmel is a thriving economic centre where jobs have been created; that it is successful and growing and seen now as a year round tourist destination; that with its ancient Priory and historical townscape it has a special ambience. A holistic approach will also need to ensure it retains its quality of life as a community within which to live and work.

The Way Ahead  One resident described Cartmel, ‘As being on the cusp!’ There are clear fears recognised by Parish Council and in the Community Plan that unless a studied approach is adopted then Cartmel is at risk.

73  Any remedies identified will have a resource implication which is a problem at a time of austerity. Key partners such as the County and District Councils will need to be persuaded that investment in Cartmel is necessary.  Justification will need to be broadly based and include vision, townscape and heritage, economic viability and sustainability, and the impact of increasing visitor footfall. Justification will also focus on community quality of life and public realm issues as well as on a movement strategy which looks at active travel, vehicular movement, traffic management and parking.  Partnership working between all tiers of local government, community groups local businesses and in particular Holker estates will be essential.

A Studied Approach  The Parish Council wish to commission a professional and multi disciplinary study. The study will adopt an holistic approach and provide evidenced and detailed recommendations which provide a blue print for future working with key partners including the two upper tier Councils together with Holker Estates  The Parish Council have agreed a Study Delivery Group. This includes a Strategic Steering Group. There will also be a wider Study Management Group. It is intended that County and District Councils are represented on both bodies. Both County and District Councillors have been involved in getting this initiative to its present point and both have expressed continuing support. The Parish Council will be the lead body and set clear terms of reference.  The Community Plan has been devised following extensive public consultation. The studied approach suggested here envisages a full and ongoing programme of public engagement.  The Parish Council have appointed Mr Barry Dean to Chair both the groups He has long standing connections with the village. His background is firmly rooted in planning and business. He brings appropriate skills and experience to lead this important project and to add value to the outcomes.  Sedbergh and Hawkshead have commissioned studies. The Sedbergh approach was of particular interest in approach, outcomes and partnership working. Partnership support enabled the study to be undertaken and was invaluable as work progressed and has continued since. The Parish Council hopes to replicate this model and wishes to put particular emphasis on partnership working.

74  The first step will be to secure the necessary funding. Building on the outcomes of two workshop sessions identification of providers with the necessary multi disciplinary skills set is already underway. The intention is to make an appointment in the autumn to enable a clear action plan to be signed off. The study will be carried out late spring to early autumn 2014 in order to provide a representative evidence base.

Resourcing the Study  SLDC and CCC supported the Sedbergh study financially and through partnership working. The Parish Council hope that a similar approach can be replicated here. The Sedbergh study cost approximately £29,000. Sedbergh is a bigger settlement than Cartmel. The initial estimate for Cartmel is that in order to meet the scoping requirements the cost would be in the region of £25,000.  Commitments have been received CCC Divisional Allowance* £5,000 SLDC Ward Allowance** £1,000 Lower Allithwaite Parish Council £5,000 Cartmel Village Society*** £5,000 * subject to approval by Local Committee ** subject to approval at SLDC *** subject to approval at CVS Committee  In addition discussions are in progress with Holker Estates Cartmel Trades Association SLDC CCC  The Parish Council hope that the Strategic Planning Group of the Local Committee perceives Cartmel as an important economic, cultural and historic asset within South Cumbria. A holistic and studied approach is a prerequisite to inform the future. Without external support it will be very difficult to commission a study. Our estimate is that if financial support to the value of £5,000 can be provided we will be able to progress as planned.  Barry Dean and the Steering Group will be happy to respond to any request for further information. They will also be happy to meet with the Strategic Planning Group or to present to Local Committee.

Neighbourhood Forum & Community Engagement Review – 2013

Aim

 To assess the role and efficiency of Neighbourhood Forums  To assess current methods of community engagement delivery across South Lakeland  To explore alternative options for grant delivery across South Lakeland

History/ Background Neighbourhood Forums have operated across South Lakeland since the 1990’s and are currently held 3 times per year across the 8 forum areas. Neighbourhood Forums serve a number of purposes but primarily focus upon;

Grant Delivery, Community Engagement, Information Provision, Networking and Partnership Support.

This paper intends to aid discussion and question how we deliver community engagement across the area in the future.

“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.” (Albert Einstein)

Key Points to Consider; True engagement should focus upon reaching out to communities and not expecting them to come to us! Could we engage more efficiently and effectively with communities via other mechanisms?

Neighbourhood Forums

Over the past two years the number of Neighbourhood Forum Meetings has reduced from 4/5 per year to 3. This has enabled the Area Support team to carry out bespoke engagement for other directorates across the County alongside supporting members on a specific issue led engagement campaigns.

Attendance at Neighbourhood Forums varies significantly across South Lakeland and further detail is provided in Appendix A.

An exercise has been undertaken to explore the role of the Neighbourhood Forums and their current perceived strengths & weaknesses. This has been considered alongside the attendance statistics in order to highlight any potential opportunities or threats which may arise should changes occur.

Strengths Weaknesses Provides a platform for Members and County Generally same attendees Council Departments Low attendance by members of the general public Opportunity for networking with partner agencies (in majority) Regular Forum Attendees offer positive Attendance primarily consists of grant applicants and feedback speakers Groups made aware of projects through grants Forums tend to appeal to specific sectors of the Primarily for information giving rather than community engagement Not a representative sample of the community Scheduling of the forum’s do not always link with community issues Time-intensive to organise with minimal outcomes

Opportunities Threats Greater interaction with communities on a more Impact upon existing attendees

76 frequent basis –reaching out to communities not Perceived loss of activity/ opportunities expecting them to come to us Implementation processes/ timescales Potential to reach alternative audiences Grant Delivery Enable targeted engagement based upon issues and needs Engage with increased numbers within a shorter frame of time (greater efficiency)

Moving Forward – What Could We Do Better!

Following on from the Members Review Session held in March 2013; the Area Support Team was tasked with reflecting and reviewing the options available to members.

Alternative Community Engagement Options

- Focused engagement e.g. specific meetings based upon specific community issues - Informal drop in events with a wide representation of organisations based upon timings to suit the demographics of the area - Community Road shows – promoting new county schemes/ initiatives - Ward walks and door to door surveys for reaching “Hard to Reach” communities - those that don’t and won’t attend public meetings. - Non political community surgeries - Attendance at existing community events and groups - Creative approaches towards engagement – ‘on the bus’ surveys/ outdoor events - Tailored Engagement/work plans for each area – as agreed by the Member and Area Engagement Officer

Community Grants

At present Community Grants are delivered through the Neighbourhood Forums, members of the public are engaged within the decision making process although the final decision ultimately remains with the designated officer in discussion with the elected member.

Points for consideration;

- Potential reduction in grant allocations - Delivery opportunities – sufficient funds would be required to sustain 3 meetings per year - Need to consider developing a more strategic approach towards grant giving ensuring resources are targeted effectively and consider all options both internally and externally - Less applicants may equate to fewer attendees at Neighbourhood Forum meetings

Alternative Grant Delivery Options

Option One Develop specific grant panels based upon current forum areas in conjunction with other organisations and authorities. A variety of representatives would form the panel including Cllrs from all tiers, third sector agencies and community representative

Benefits Risk Greater Efficiencies Transition Period Localised view regarding community priorities Decisions based upon who forms the panel

Option Two

77 Neighbourhood Forums become a Community Grant Panel. Grants would still be delivered under the forum branding and include presentations from applicants. An opportunity for a “Q&A” with local members and appropriate CCC updates as applicable.

Benefits Risk Familiar Format Perceived similarities to the Neighbourhood Forum Relatively simple to implement Limitations regarding attendees Timings / Frequency of meetings

Option Three South Lakeland wide grants panel – consisting of all South Lakeland Local Committee members.

Benefits Risk Greater Efficiencies Ensuring smaller communities are not Strategic and co-ordinated approach across the disadvantaged area Ensuring grants are awarded to a representative sample of the area

Option Four Virtual Grant Panel – grant applications are received and processed via the Area Support team. Decision is made based upon consultation with the designated officer and Cllrs for the area.

Benefits Risk Greater Efficiencies Lack of community participation Community groups are not aligned to meeting Promotion of decisions dates Loss of community presence

All options would require a period of transition and consideration would need to be given to the frequency of meetings and the subsequent funding available.

78 Neighbourhood Forum Average attendance 2011-2013

Issue-based forum focussed on local issue

79 Appendix H – SCHOOL CROSSING PATROLS – SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT FOR 2013/14 WITH SOUTH LAKELAND LOCAL COMMITTEE

The 2013/14 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 – Resources Facilities Management Unit 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, Resources Facilities Management Unit will not be involved. Similarly, Resources Facilities Management Unit 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.

Cumbria County Council has established a new, wholly owned Local Authority company; Orian Solutions Limited, which will deliver facilities management services – including foodservice, building cleaning, fire extinguisher servicing and school crossing patrols – from 1 April 2013. The school crossers and their area management teams will be transferring to the new company on 31 March 2013 and will to deliver this service to you. Invoices for services provided will come from Orian Solutions Ltd and include VAT (which is reclaimable) at the appropriate rate.

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).

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.

Also in Attendance:-

Mr G Bassett - Locality Officer - Barrow & South Lakeland Mrs GE Andrews - Senior Democratic Services Officer Mrs C Cowperthwaite - Locality Transport Team Leader Ms K Alty - Acting Area Support Manager - Barrow and South Lakeland Ms L Murray - Project Worker Brathay Trust Miss M Lackey - Member of the Youth Council

At the start of the meeting the Chair agreed to reorder the agenda and to take the report on the A2B NoWcard at agenda item 4.

1 APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE

Apologies for absence were received from Mrs C Feeney Johnson and Mr RK Bingham (Mr J Bland substitute).

2 MINUTES

Subject to the amendment agreed at the Local Committee meeting on 10 June 2013 in relation to minute 41 – A2BNoWcard - the minutes of the meeting of the Children and Young Peoples Working Group held on 19 February 2013 were confirmed as a correct record.

On page 2 paragraph 2 the Locality Officer agreed to let the Acting Area Support Manager have details of the Children’s Centre Managers to circulate to members.

On minute 39 – Youth Services Contracted Provision – the Locality Officer agreed to ask his colleagues to provide a report for the next meeting of the Working Group on the numbers involved in youth work activities and to provide more information on how young people who were not receiving training, or were unemployed, could be supported.

87 In relation to the Safeguarding Improvement Board Plan it was agreed to invite the designated officer to the next meeting of the Working Group.

3 YOUTH COUNCIL

Miss Maddy Lackey a member of the South Lakeland Youth Council updated the Working Group on the work of the Youth Council. She was accompanied at the meeting by Ms Lynne Murray – Project Worker for the Brathay Trust.

The Working Group was informed that the Lakeland Youth Council had hosted a pre election event at Kendal College on 22nd March. Secondary schools in South Lakeland were invited to bring a group of 8 -10 young people who were asked to develop a £10,000 project to benefit young people. They were then asked to vote on the winning idea which was a Youth Magazine. This idea was now being developed with the winning group and it was anticipated that the first edition would be issued in the Autumn term.

At a Cumbria Youth Parliament training day at the Brathay Trust on 12th May the focus of the day had been to look at promotions and campaigns. The 3 campaign areas for the Cumbria Youth Parliament were transport; activities for young people; and employment and apprenticeship opportunities.

Information packs about the Lakeland Youth Council elections and how to stand as a candidate had been circulated to schools in the area. At the end of the academic year there would be seven youth councillors stepping down to focus on studies, leaving four still in post. The new councillors would be announced at a Celebration Event to be held on 28th June at Kendal Town Hall which members were urged to attend.

During discussion members were advised that at a Youthforia event in Huyton on 1st/2nd June it had been announced that Cumbria Youth Councillors had collected the most signatures to date on the UK Youth Parliament Curriculum for Life campaign. They were also advised that in July a group of Lakeland Youth Councillors would be visiting Westminster where they would be meeting the local MP and a British Youth Council Trustee. At these meetings the opportunity would be taken to express an interest in having a member on the national Youth Parliament.

AGREED that the update be noted.

4 A2B NOW CARD

Consideration was given to a report summarising progress and the development of the A2BNoW card in South Lakeland to the end of May 2013.

The A2B concessionary travel scheme had provided an opportunity for young people in South Lakeland to access leisure activities by providing affordable travel. Given the rising costs of operating the scheme as the number of young people with A2B NoWCards grew, the Local Committee had asked for consideration to be given to possibly increasing the amount they paid. There had been no increase in the flat fare of £1 single and £1.80 return since the scheme had started in 2010, and there was also the potential to introduce a charge for the annual renewal of the A2BNoW cards.

Members all agreed that it was a valuable scheme and welcomed the fact that the number of young people with A2BNoW cards was growing. They wanted to see the scheme widened and for more young people to be involved, however it was recognised that the Local Committee

88 could not continue to fund it at the current level. As well as the potential to increase the cost of the fares and charge for the annual renewal of the cards as a means of recouping some of the costs, it was also suggested trying to negotiate with the Bus Contractor again. Throughout the discussion Members stressed that the scheme was one of the Local Committee’s priorities and that they wished it to continue.

RECOMMENDED that the Locality Transport Team Leader be asked to work up potential options aimed at recovering some of the costs of operating the scheme; the options to be circulated to members of the Working Group with a view to consulting the Youth Council and other relevant youth organisations, such as Inspira, over the coming months.

5 PRIORITIES FOR 2013 - 14

The Acting Area Support Manager sought the Working Groups views on its priorities for 2013- 14.

Previously its key priorities had been the Youth Council; Young Persons Transport; Early Intervention; Apprenticeships; 0-19 Grants; Looked After Children, and Health and Well-Being. The Working Group was advised that if it wished to continue supporting these priorities ways of working more creatively would need to be looked into as its budget had been reduced.

RECOMMENDED that Working Group’s former priorities, indicated above, be approved.

6 0-19 ALLOCATION 2013 -14

The Acting Area Support Manager advised that the 0 -19 budget allocation for 2013-14 was £106,765. A sum of £62,000 had been allocated for Young Persons Transport leaving £44,765 for the remaining priorities.

Members acknowledged the significant shortfall in the funding available to them compared to the previous year, and the need to plan carefully for the current budget period. They agreed to a suggestion by the Acting Area Support Manager that she should get feedback from the previous projects to see what was working well, and evaluate what could be done better.

During the course of the discussion the Youth Council representative advised that mental health awareness was a very big issue for young people. Members agreed to pick up on this issue and to raise it at other relevant forums.

AGREED that the Acting Area Support Manager develop a framework and spend plan for the current financial year for consideration by the Working Group.

7 CHILDREN IN CARE COUNCIL

The Locality Officer presented a report summarising the priorities of the Cumbria in Care Council, and advising of the work being carried out by members of the South Lakeland in Care Council.

AGREED that the report be noted and that Debbie Holt, Partnership Development and Participation Officer be invited to the next meeting of the Working Group

89 8 0 - 19 GRANTS

The Lakes International Comic Art Festival was a new not for profit comic art festival taking place in Kendal during October. The organisation was looking at providing various art activities to children and young people from South Lakeland in many different ways in the run up to, and during, the festival. The proposed projects included a workshop for 25-30 young people 7+ to take part in drawing sessions with a leading international comic artist. A grant application had been received from Lakes International for £2,200 towards the cost of materials, arts awards, exhibition costs and fees and the travel costs for the young people attending the workshop.

In considering the application members reluctantly agreed that, given the budgetary situation, they would be unable to agree to the full amount requested. It was also felt that any funding allocated to the art festival should be used to encourage disadvantaged young people to attend.

RECOMMENDED that £1,000 be allocated from the 0-19 budget to Lakes International towards the costs of materials, arts awards, exhibition costs and fees and the travel costs of young people attending the workshop; a request be made for the funding to be used to support disadvantaged young people.

9 DATE OF NEXT MEETING

The next meeting of the Working Group was scheduled for Tuesday 10th September 2013 at 3.45pm at County Offices, Kendal.

The meeting ended at 5.55 pm

Budget and Expenditure

91 The following table provides a breakdown of the cost of reimbursement and the total number of journeys per month taken using the A2BNoW card.

Reimbursement No. of journeys (across all services) April 2013 (actual) £5,193 1,439 May 2013 (actual) £5,145 1,463 June 2013 £5,400 1,700 July 2013 £5,600 2,200 August 2013 £5,700 1,400 September 2013 £6,100 2,400 October 2013 £6,200 1,700 November 2013 £6,400 1,600 December 2013 £6,500 1,600 January 2014 £6,700 1,400 February 2014 £6,800 1,400 March 2014 £7,100 1,500 Total £72,838 19,802

The following table shows the budget and expenditure for 2013/14

Budget Spend to date Comments (June 13) Back Office £3,500 £3,500 Card Renewal x 2 plus new applications. Budget estimate is based on an increase of 25 cards per month. Reimbursement £73,000 £10,338 until May 2013

Income (Card -£1,500 -£165 Budget estimate based on an applications and additional 25 cards issued per replacements) month. £75,000 £13,673

There has been a 3% increase in Stagecoach fares this financial year and a 6% increase in fares on supported bus services.

As the number of young people with A2B NoWcards grows the cost of reimbursement to bus operators increases. There have been increases in the cost of bus fares in the area every year and there is an option to consider an increase to the amount paid by young people.

In addition the young people applying for the NoWcard are required to pay £5 for the card. This charge is intended to offset the cost of the back office. Currently this is a one off payment although A2B NoWcards are renewed on an annual basis. SLLC pay £2 per card issued towards the cost of the back office. There is potential to charge young people for renewal of the card on an annual basis.

Report: Children and Young Peoples Working Group – Children Looked After Date: June 2013

Compiled by: Partnership Development and Participation Team (Debbie Holt)

1. Cumbria Children in Care Council Meeting (CICC) The second Cumbria CiCC was held in February 2013. The priorities from this meeting were identified as follows:

Children and young people looked after to spend more time with their family. ‘Have a good relationship with your parents’

Young people do not feel listened to by social workers

CLA to be matched with social workers more appropriately – this should be based on the needs of the young people and not just case load.

Social workers need to . . . . . ‘have fun, be someone that we can trust and that will listen to you, doesn’t twist your words or embarrass you’

Cumbria CiCC Priorities 2013

The date of the next Cumbria CiCC is due to take place in October 2013. Provisional dates (of which 1 will be chosen) have been identified as follows:

· Saturday 26th October 2013 · Wednesday 30th October 2013 · Thursday 31st October 2013

Young people are currently involved in setting the agenda and planning/preparation for this meeting.

95 1. Barrow and South Lakeland CiCC’s Barrow CiCC continues to meet every 4 weeks in Greengate Community Centre. The last meeting took place on 13th June 2013, 6-8pm with Phil Tomlinson in attendance.

South Lakeland CiCC has met every 4 weeks until recently - they are undergoing a period of reorganisation. The CiCC will have a stronger separation from the New Beginings project to ensure they maintain a care council specific identity – it is envisaged however that they will continue to meet regularly however dates etc will be agreed by the young people themselves in due course.

Members of the CiCC’s have been involved in consultation around the development of Health Passports and Financial Contributions for Care Leavers.

Both CiCC’s have looked more in depth at specific priorities from the Cumbria 2013 meeting. These have included: improvements to fostering services and the role of social workers/practitioners who support children looked after and leaving care.

Members of the CiCC’s have offered ways forward that they believe will lead to improvements in services. These have included:  Golden rules for support staff working with children looked after and leaving care

 Awards ceremony to highlight and celebrate inspirational children and young people in care and staff who have supported children looked after. It is anticipated that the currently entitled ‘Care Cumbria Awards’, will be project managed by young people with support from Children’s Services – this will include sourcing funding and sponsorship.

 Greater involvement of young people looked after, driving improvements in fostering services including: inspections, quality assurance, training, fostering panels and foster carer recruitment.

2. CiCC Children and Young People’s Working Group Funding 2012/13.

Barrow CiCC – Amount allocated £15,000 Total spent £14,870.15 Under spend £129.95

South Lakeland CiCC – Amount allocated £6,000 Total spent £5995.73 Under spend £4.27 A case study regarding the difference the Access Funding has made to children and young people in Barrow is currently underway. We are awaiting further information on the outcomes relating to children who directly applied and received the funding, however the outcomes for panel members has been evaluated by the young people who took part.

Activities for children and young people in care have been taking place since Dec 2012. We still have a number of activities that are scheduled to take place over the coming months. These activities have also been evaluated and details will be included in a later report. 1. New Beginnings The New Beginnings Project is well underway and over 12 months in. This 3 year project will continue to support CLA aged between 14-25, developing skills and improving outcomes for young people. 3 project workers have been appointed, these are: Laura Woollard (Barrow and South Lakeland) [email protected] Neil Wothersoon (Copeland and Alllerdale – previously Barrow) [email protected] Nathan Davies (Carlisle and Eden – previously South Lakeland) [email protected] Support from the Children Looked After and Leaving Care Team The above team has allocated 2 staff members to support the work and role of the Children in Care Councils across Barrow and South Lakeland.

126 THE COUNTY OF CUMBRIA (VARIOUS ROADS, SOUTH LAKELAND AREA) (CONSOLIDATION OF TRAFFIC REGULATIONS) (ORDER 2002) (VARIOUS ROADS, KENDAL, CROOKLANDS, SANDGATE AND CARTMEL) VARIATION ORDER 20><

Statement of Reasons

Cumbria County Council considers that it is expedient to propose to make the above Order for the following reasons: -

 for avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or any other road or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising, or

 for facilitating the passage on the road or any other road of any class of traffic (including pedestrians), or

 for preserving or improving the amenities of the area through which the road runs

The proposals, as shown on the plans, are as follows: -

Plan 1 Hayclose Road Hayclose Road currently has No Waiting at Any Time, double yellow line, restrictions along its west side between Howe Gardens and Oxenholme Road, and along its east side between Howe Bank Close and Oxenholme Road. It is proposed to implement additional double yellow lines to cover the junctions of Howe Gardens and Howe Bank Close to aid visibility for vehicles turning into and out of the two junctions. It is also proposed to introduce a new section of single yellow lines restricting waiting / parking to 9am – 5pm on the east side of Hayclose Road between Howe Gardens and Hayclose Crescent. Parking along this section can cause obstruction for large vehicles such as the buses and congest the area. The restriction is proposed in the daytime only to allow for parking for residents overnight.

Plan 2 Heron Hill / Esthwaite Avenue Concerns have been raised by Heron Hill Primary School and residents regarding parked vehicles near the junction of Heron Hill and Esthwaite Avenue. It is proposed to implement No Waiting at Any Time restrictions, double yellow lines, around the junction to improve visibility for turning vehicles and make it safer for pedestrians to cross the carriageway.

Plan 3 Captain French Lane It is proposed to extent a length of No Waiting at Any Time, double yellow line, restrictions along both sides of Captain French Lane to aid through traffic and maintain access to garages and the public right of way Garth Heads.

Plan 4 Green Hill / Windermere Road It is proposed to implement a No Waiting at Any Time, double yellow lines, restriction at the junction of Green Hill and Windermere Road. Vehicles can be parked close to the junction and the proposals aim to keep the junction clear of any obstructions of visibility and allowing vehicles to manoeuvre freely.

127 Plan 5 Shap Road / Vine Road Concerns have been raised regarding parking causing obstruction on the junction of Shap Road and Vine Road. No waiting at any time, double yellow line, restrictions are proposed around this junction to maintain visibility for turning into and out of Vine Road.

Plan 6 Seven Milestones Lay-by Cumbria Highways undertook works to improve the lay-by and Seven Milestones Bridge on the A65 near Crooklands in 2011. As part of the works the southern access to the lay-by was closed to vehicles due to the limited visibility of traffic approaching from the south. A Prohibition of Driving is required to prevent vehicles accessing the lay-by from the south which is also physically closed off. Unrestricted parking spaces are provided and therefore No Waiting At Any Time, double yellow lines are proposed where it is unsuitable to park.

Plan 7 – Aynsome Road, Cartmel Cartmel C of E Primary School is situated on Aynsome Road, Cartmel. Aynsome Road is one of the main routes into the village and is very busy during peak times. The primary school is on two sites; which is split by Aynsome Road, the students/teachers regularly cross the road during the day to use the facilities on the other side. This happens regularly during the day and at various times. It is proposed to implement double yellow lines outside the school to displace parking to improve visibility and ease traffic flow; and to facilitate the new priority give-way system.

KENDAL VARIOUS TRO 2012 - CONULTATION FEEDBACK

RESPONSE TO CONSULTATION, ADVERTISING AND OBJECTIONS

DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Response to Consultation

1. Of the statutory Consultees, responses were received from Councillor Geoff Cook of Kendal Highgate, Lower Allithwaite Parish Council and from Preston Patrick Parish Council. 2. Cllr Cook expressed his support of the proposed restrictions on Captain French Lane, as it had been requested by local residents. 3. Preston Patrick Parish Council gave their support for the proposals to implement restrictions at Seven Milestones Lay-by. They expressed their desire to see the restrictions extended to cover the length from the bridge to a point north of the entrance. It is not possible to extend restrictions following the advertising and formal consultation of a traffic regulation order. It is not considered that an extended length of restriction would be required however it is recommended that it is implemented as advertised and monitored for issues that may require future consideration. 4. Lower Allithwaite queried the need for Double Yellow Lines on Aynsome Road, and questioned whether or not a Single Yellow Line would serve the same purpose. The restrictions form part of a priority give-way scheme which requires parking to be cleared as all times to allow for traffic flow. It is therefore recommended to implement as advertised as the requested changes would not facilitate the scheme.

Response to letter drop among residents; advertising and objections

1. A number of residents responded to our letter drop informing them of the proposals. Some made comments; some made objections. 2. A summary of these responses and objections now follows together with discussion and recommendations.

143 Plan 1 – Hayclose Road

Ref RESPONDANT COMMENTS No. 1A Resident of Hayclose 1. Supports the proposals. Road

2. Would like No Waiting around the junction of The Court.

2A Resident of Hayclose 1. Suggests resident only parking should be considered. Road

2. Main issue is non residents parking throughout the day.

3A Resident of Hayclose 1. Does not support the proposals as they don’t go far enough. Road Rail users parking causes problems for residents, and make it difficult to exit driveways.

2. Should have limited stay parking and residents parking as in Oxenholme village.

3. The west side should be double yellow lines from Oxenholme Rd to Hayclose Crescent, and the east side should be restricted parking.

4. If the proposals are implemented then inconsiderate parking will become an issue due to the reduced spaces.

4A Resident of Howe Bank 1. The proposed No Waiting At Anytime, covering the junctions of Close Howe Gardens/Howe Bank Close onto Hayclose Road, will be in-effective. These junctions are already covered by Keep Clear road markings.

2. Main issue is people parking on the eastern side of Hayclose Road, between the Bus Stop and the Junction of Howe Bank Close, reducing visibility round the corner.

3. The proposed single yellow line covering the eastern side of Hayclose Road from Howe Gardens and Hayclose Crescent will be in-effective as people park on the west side of the road.

4. The only safe and effective scheme for this area is one that severely limits the parking on Hayclose Road.

5. Double Yellow lines on both sides of Hayclose Road from Oxenholme Road to Howe Bank Close would improve visibility and road spacing for that corner, allowing buses to stop safely, and traffic to pass easier.

6. The proposed single yellow line should be moved to the Western side of Hayclose Road, and the eastern area covered with double yellow lines. This would still facilitate residents to park after 5pm, but improve the safety during the day time.

5A Resident of Howe Bank 1. I fully understand the need for extra restrictions during the Close week to allow buses to progress through Kendal Parks Estate.

2. However, problems occur with the need for extra parking for residents and their visitors at weekends and especially at Bank Holidays and over the Christmas period when people tend 144 to have relatives staying with them.

3. The Howe Bank Close cul-de-sac is so restricted that to have someone parking half on the pavement and half on the road impedes access.

4. Would like consideration given to relaxing restrictions on Saturdays and Sundays and especially Bank Holidays (maybe making such times available for residents only).

6A Resident of Hayclose 1. The current proposal of additional double yellows on both sides Road of the road at Howe Bank Close and Oxenholme Road and Howe Gardens and Howe Bank Close are needed.

2. The proposal for single yellow lines on the east side of the road from Howe Gardens to the last house on Hayclose Road I agree with but lines further down to the junction of Hayclose Crescent are not warranted.

Should be restricted waiting between Howe Bank Close and Hayclose Crescent to allow daytime visitors.

Residents parking would also be a solution.

Discussion and Recommendation:

1. Six responses were received following the consultation period regarding the proposed parking restriction on Hayclose Road. The formal consultation followed an initial consultation exercise during which time residents had had a chance to feedback about their concerns and possible solutions. 2. Of these six, respondents 3A & 4A object to the length of single yellow line along the east side of Hayclose Road. The single yellow line was proposed to prevent parking obstructing the local bus services but to allow flexibility for residents in the evenings. 3. A number of responses queried if a residents parking scheme would be a suitable alternative, due to the number of non-residents parking in the area. The majority of properties at the southern end of Hayclose Road have off-street parking available. Parking is affected on weekdays by non-residents however spaces are available within a reasonable walking distance. It is recommended that restrictions are as flexible as possible and minimise displaced parking and are therefore implemented as advertised. 4. Respondent 1A raised the issue of parked vehicles obscuring visibility when exiting The Court. It is not possible to extend the proposed restrictions however it is possible to implement a keep clear marking across The Court to improve the visibility. 5. It is recommended that the proposals are implemented as advertised and that Hayclose Road is monitored for any issues with the resultant parking that may require future consideration.

145 Plan 2 – Heron Hill / Esthwaite Avenue

Ref RESPONDANT COMMENTS No. 1B Resident of Esthwaite 1. Please can DYL be put outside No’s 2-4 Esthwaite Avenue. Avenue

2B Resident of Esthwaite 1. Would like DYL to cover the area outside No’s 2-4 Esthwaite Avenue Avenue.

Discussion and Recommendation:

1. There were two responses received to the consultation for parking restrictions on Esthwaite Avenue. 2. Both respondents were in favour of the proposals, with both requesting further restrictions on south side of Esthwaite Avenue. It is not possible to extend the restrictions as part of the forma traffic regulation order process however it is recommended that Esthwaite Avenue is monitored for any resultant parking issues requiring assessment in a future scheme. 3. It is recommended that the proposals are implemented as advertised.

Plan 3 – Captain French Lane

Ref RESPONDANT COMMENTS No. Your proposal would put even greater strain on already limited 1C Resident of Captain 1. parking, which has recently been made worse by the opening of French Lane the new larger Captain French Surgery at the bottom of Gillinggate. 2. Proposal will not improve through traffic - Captain French Lane is very narrow at the lower end where traffic enters one-way from Highgate, certainly as narrow as where the parking currently exists. Suggest that rather than get rid of badly needed parking 3. spaces, a sign is put at the lower end saying that the road is narrow. 2C Resident of Captain 1. Would like to object to the proposals. French Lane

2. The two garages that don’t currently have double yellow lines next to them are both ours, and we currently have no problem accessing them. There is also no problem accessing Garth Heads: this path is already protected by Keep Clear road markings.

3. There is a shortage of parking in Captain French Lane and Rock View. Additional double yellow lines would exacerbate this problem.

4. Concerned that removing parking from Captain French Lane could encourage more people to use it for through traffic, and to

146 drive too fast.

3C Resident of Captain 1. The relocation of 'Captain French Surgery' to 'Gillinggate' has French Lane considerably reduced the volume of traffic using Captain French Lane, whilst increasing the pressure of traffic and parking on Gillinggate.

2. Main issue on the Captain French Lane is large vehicles using it due to Sat-Nav.

3. There is no issue with vehicles parking where the restrictions are proposed.

4C Resident of Captain 1. Parking for myself is very restricted, I use the space opposite French Lane my rear entrance to Captain French Lane when spaces are available, my only other alternative is to park on Gillinggate.

2. I have lived at 1 Rock View for 14 years now and have never had any issues with vehicles blocking the road.

3. Captain French Lane is often used as an alternative route for vehicles avoiding traffic through town.

4. I personally think, now the surgery has closed at the bottom of Captain French Lane, and the hospital moved many years ago, access through should be restricted to ‘Access Only’ traffic, or even stopped completely.

5C Resident of Captain 1. Never experienced any issues with access to either garages or French Lane Garth Heads.

2. Parking is already restricted in the area, so any further reduction would exacerbate the problems.

3. There are a number of narrow points along the street; advanced warning signs may be a good compromise.

Discussion and Recommendation:

1. There were five responses to the consultation for parking restrictions on Captain French Lane. 2. Each of the five responses stated that they did not feel that the restrictions were justified and they are not aware of an issue with parking where the restrictions are proposed. 3. Respondents 1E, 2E and 5E all raised concerns that the additional restrictions would put further strain on the already limited parking spaces. 4. One of the responses received was from the owner of the garages outside which the restrictions are proposed. It was stated that they do not have an issue accessing their garages and would not want the DYL outside their property. 5. Despite the fact there were no responses in support of the proposals, there is an ongoing issue with vehicles causing damage to boundary walls through the narrow section. 6. It is recommended that a decision on the restrictions is deferred to allow for further investigation.

147 Plan 4 – Green Hill / Windermere Road

Ref RESPONDANT COMMENTS No. 1D Resident of 1. Would like to strongly object. Our property is without parking Windermere Road and we have to use Green Hill to park our car.

2. We use this junction daily and have no issues with visibility either way.

3. The expenditure is unjustified.

2D Resident of 1. Welcome the proposals after difficulty exiting Green Hill Windermere Road junction.

2. Parking on the junction often makes it dangerous when exiting Green Hill.

Discussion and Recommendation:

1. There were two responses to the consultation for parking restrictions on Green Hill. 2. Respondent 1D objected to their proposals as they currently have no off-street parking. They also make comment that they have never had any issues exiting the junction due to parked vehicles. 3. The response from respondent 2D was in favour of the proposals, stating that parking around the junction often makes it difficult to enter/exit Green Hill. 4. The restrictions were initially proposed in response to road safety concerns with vehicles parked to close to a main road junction. The restrictions are proposed over a short length to minimise displaced parking whilst allowing better visibility. 5. It is recommended that the restrictions are implemented as advertised.

Plan 5 – Shap Road / Vine Road

Ref RESPONDANT COMMENTS No. 1E Resident of Shap 1. Feels that no consideration has been given to parking on the Road opposite side of the road.

2. Cars parking along the west side of Shap Road make it difficult to see on-coming vehicles.

2E Resident of Shap 1. Support the proposals as cars regularly park there for whole Road days.

2. Hope that doesn’t cause parking to start becoming more of an issue on the west side of the road as a result.

3E Resident of Shap 1. Object to the proposals on the grounds of safety. It will only Road serve to move the problem to the other side of the road.

148 2. If vehicles were to park along the west side of Shap Road then it will make it extremely dangerous to exit the lay-by outside the houses.

3. Is residents only parking to be implemented to prevent non- residents taking up all remaining space?

4E Resident of Shap 1. Thinks the proposals are a good idea, however feels vehicles Road may be displaced down Vine Road.

2. Parking is already for difficult for residents due to business workers parking on Vine Road. Would CCC introduce parking restrictions to counter this.

5E Business on Appleby 1. At present, exiting Vine Road onto Shap Road is extremely Road/Vine Road dangerous due to visibility being blocked by parked vehicles.

2. Double Yellow Lines are also needed along the full length of Vine Road as vehicles parked along here cause vehicles to drive over private accesses.

3. There is insufficient parking available in the area to satisfy the demand. Workers from local businesses often take up the parking available on Vine Road.

Discussion and Recommendation:

1. There were five responses to the consultation for parking restrictions on Kendal Road. 2. Only one of the respondents, 3E, objected to the proposals. The objection was made on the grounds of safety as it could move the problem to the opposite side of the carriageway. 3. Respondents 2E, 4E and 5E support the proposals. 4. An issue was raised by respondents 1E, 2E and 3E regarding the displacement of vehicles to the west side of Shap Road., making it obscuring vehicles existing the lay-by outside the properties. The length of the restriction has been designed to minimise displaced parking whilst improving visibility of a junction onto the main A6. It is recommended that the restrictions are implemented and any resultant parking issues are monitored for future consideration as necessary. 5. It is recommended that the proposals are implemented as advertised.

Plan 6 – Seven Milestones Lay-by

Discussion and Recommendation:

1. There were no responses received from local residents. 2. Recommend that the proposals are implemented as advertised.

149 Plan 7 – Aynsome Road, Cartmel

Ref RESPONDANT COMMENTS No. 1G Resident of Aynsome 1. In favour of the proposals. Road

2. The current parking situation makes it difficult to exit School Lane.

3. The proposals will make it easier for cars to give way to on- coming vehicles and visa-versa.

Discussion and Recommendation:

1. There was one response received from the consultation with local residents. 2. The one respondent was in favour of the proposals, and commented on how the restrictions will have a positive effect on the area. 3. Recommend that the proposals are implemented as advertised.

BACKGROUND

4.1 The outgoing County Councillor for Sedbergh and Kirkby Lonsdale; Kevin Lancaster requested some restrictions in Kirkby Lonsdale after concerns/requests were made by the Town Council and local residents.

4.2 Initial consultation with residents of Ruskin Drive and Lunefield Drive was undertaken in January 2013, where options for restrictions were presented to allow feedback to inform the traffic regulation order process. Responses were received from 44.

4.3 The restrictions advertised for Biggins Road were initially advertised on 29th July 2010. Following consultation the proposals were approved at local committee and the order was made on 7th March 2011. However, due to a building development on Biggins Road itself, it was decided that the restrictions would not be implemented until the development completed. As it has been 2 years since the original consultation, the decision was made to re-advertise the restrictions, with the forthcoming Kirkby Lonsdale TRO review.

4.4 An initial request was made by Kirkby Lonsdale Town Council for parking restrictions on Kendal Road. Having produced initial proposals, we consulted with the Town Council, District Council and the County Councillor. As a result, it was decided to propose restrictions where there are immediate safety concerns.

157 This page is intentionally left blank THE COUNTY OF CUMBRIA (VARIOUS ROADS, SOUTH LAKELAND AREA) (CONSOLIDATION OF TRAFFIC REGULATIONS) (ORDER 2002) (KIRKBY LONSDALE) VARIATION ORDER 20><

Statement of Reasons

Cumbria County Council considers that it is expedient to propose to make the above Order for the following reasons: -

 for avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or any other road or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising, or

 for facilitating the passage on the road or any other road of any class of traffic (including pedestrians), or

 for preserving or improving the amenities of the area through which the road runs

The proposals, as shown on the plans, are as follows: -

Plan 1 Ruskin Drive and Lunefield Drive Concerns have been raised regarding parking causing obstruction on sections of Lunefield Drive and Ruskin Drive. Lunefield Drive and Ruskin Drive are currently un-restricted, and during normal working hours can become congested with parked vehicles. This can make it difficult for residents as well as refuse vehicles and emergency services to pass through. No Waiting at Any Time restrictions are proposed on parts of Lunefield Drive and Ruskin Drive to allow residents to access off-street parking and to assist traffic flow.

Plan 2 Biggins Road Biggins Road is a narrow lane cul-de-sac giving access to a few houses and the back of Queen Elizabeth School and their extensive sports facilities. On school days the road is normally parked up with pupil’s vehicles and such parking could pose problems to emergency vehicles. To ensure that at least 3m carriageway width is always available, it is proposed to introduce appropriate lengths of double yellow lines on the narrowest lengths. These proposals had previously been approved by South Lakeland Local Committee in December 2010. At the time the restrictions were not implemented due to the housing development that was ongoing on Biggins Road. It is therefore intended to re-advertise the restrictions to ensure local people are aware of the implementation of the proposals.

Plan 3 Kendal Road and Harling Bank Concerns have been raised regarding parking causing obstruction on sections of Kendal Road. Kendal Road is currently un-restricted over the majority of its length, and during normal working hours the street can become congested with parked vehicles. This makes it difficult for vehicles to pass especially large vehicles such as for refuse and emergency services. No Waiting at Any Time restrictions are proposed on parts of Kendal Road, including Harling Bank junction to assist through traffic and ensure good visibility whilst keeping the displacement of vehicles to a minimum.

KIRKBY LONSDALE TRO 2012 - CONULTATION FEEDBACK

RESPONSE TO CONSULTATION, ADVERTISING AND OBJECTIONS

DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Response to Consultation

1. Of the statutory Consultees, Cumbria Constabulary and Cumbria Tourism. Both stated that they supported the proposals, with Cumbria Tourism stating that consideration should be given to sign clutter when implementing the restrictions. 2. There was a response to the proposals from a Town Councillor, who broadly supports the proposals. However, they also made comment that they felt the restrictions on both Biggins Road and Kendal Road could be extended. 3. Representation was also received from a Local Parking Group. Whilst they agree with the proposals, they have emphasised that there is a need for additional parking. They also noted concerns that if the restrictions are implemented as advertised, then it could move the issue to another area of the town.

Response to letter drop among residents; advertising and objections

1. A number of residents responded to our letter drop informing them of the proposals. Some made comments; some made objections. 2. One response was received from a resident of Kirkby Lonsdale. They objected to the proposals on the whole, commenting that it is a piecemeal approach to a much larger issue within the town, and that no alternative parking has been suggested to accommodate the displaced vehicles. 3. A summary of these responses and objections now follows together with discussion and recommendations.

Plan 1 – Ruskin Drive

Ref No. RESPONDANT COMMENTS 1A Resident of Ruskin Drive 1. Broadly in favour of the proposals.

2. Vehicles park close to his driveway which can obstruct visibility.

3. Feels that DYL should be on both sides of the road so that cyclists are not forced into the middle of the carriageway.

2A Resident of Ruskin Drive 1. Concerned that if restrictions are put in place that vehicles will park in the gaps, which will make access/egress difficult.

167 3A Resident of Ruskin Drive 1. Proposals will be of no benefit to the residents.

2. Problem is people parking opposite driveways, making it impossible for people to access/egress.

3. Would like the proposals to be reconsidered.

4A Resident of Ruskin Drive 1. Broadly in favour of the proposals.

2. Would like the DYL to be extended to cover drives on No 6 & 8 Ruskin Drive.

5A Resident of Ruskin Drive 1. Feels the proposals are a good idea.

2. Feels that they should also cover the corner of 14-16 Ruskin Drive, where parking causes passing vehicles to mount the footway.

3. There are great difficulties in parking outside the property due to non-residents parking on street.

6A Resident of Lunefield Drive 1. Not clear whether or not in agreement/disagreement with the proposals.

2. Feels that the parking will worsen around the green as a result.

3. Would like to see restrictions around the green to stop driveway access being restricted.

7A Resident of Lunefield Drive 1. Objects to the proposals.

2. Feels that the proposals will worsen the situation around the green on Lunefield Drive.

3. Will be forced to create off-street parking in front garden.

8A Resident of Lunefield Drive 1. Fully welcome the proposals.

2. Request that all properties on Lunefield Drive are given bar markings to prevent driveways from becoming blocked.

Recommendation:

1. Eight responses were received during the consultation period regarding the proposed parking restrictions on Ruskin Drive. 2. Respondents 1A, 4A, 5A & 8A were all in favour of the proposals. 3. Of the eight responses, three of the respondents directly object to the proposals. Two of the three, respondents 2A and 3A, raised the concern that vehicles will now park opposite driveways where there are no restrictions making it difficult to access. 4. Respondents 6A, 7A and 8A all raised concerns about a knock on effect that the restrictions may have on Lunefield Drive. It is recommended that the restrictions are implemented and the effect of any displaced parking is monitored for future consideration as necessary. 5. Respondents 1A and 5A both made points that the restrictions should be applied on the corner of 14-16 Ruskin Drive, stating that parking here reduces visibility and forces passing vehicles to mount the footway. The restrictions cannot be extended as part of the traffic regulation

168 order process however following implementation the location should be monitored and further restrictions noted for possible future consideration. 6. Respondent 8A requested that properties on Lunefield Drive are given bar markings to cover private driveways. This can be incorporated as part of the lining works. 7. It is recommended that the restrictions are implemented as advertised.

Plan 2 – Biggins Road

There were no consultation responses received from residents on Biggins Road.

Recommendation:

1. There were no objections received regarding the proposed parking restrictions. 2. It is recommended that the restrictions are implemented as advertised.

Plan 3 – Kendal Road

Ref No. RESPONDANT COMMENTS 1B Resident of Kendal Road 1. In favour of the proposals.

2. Concerned that restrictions could lead to a build up of parking on the north side of Kendal Road opposite the bowling green.

3. Would in effect make Kendal Road a single Lane carriageway.

2B Resident of Kendal Road 1. In support of the proposed parking restrictions

3B Resident of Kendal Road 1. Supports the proposals.

2. Have concerns over increased parking along the unrestricted sections on the north side of Kendal Road.

3. Feels that the problem will just be moved to some extents, and that the north side needs DYL along its full length.

4B Club on Kendal Road 1. Objects to the proposals as they do not go far enough.

2. Concerned about the possibility of cars parking on both sides of the carriageway.

3. Feels that large vehicles should be prohibited along Kendal Road.

4. States that unless parking is restricted along the full length then it would be a wasted exercise.

5B Resident of Harling Bank 1. Broadly supports the proposals, however feels that they need extending.

2. Feel that the north side of Kendal Road between Cedar House and Harling Bank should also be

169 restricted.

Recommendation:

1. There were five responses to the consultation for parking restrictions on Kendal Road. 2. Four of the five respondents were in favour of the proposals. However, respondents 1B, 3B, and 5B all raised concern about the unrestricted section on the north side of Kendal Road. 3. Respondents 4B stated that unless the proposals are amended the scheme serve no purpose. 4. Proposals cannot be extended from those advertised, however parking can be monitored and additional restrictions be considered for future schemes if necessary. 5. It is recommended that the restrictions are implemented as advertised.

THE COUNTY OF CUMBRIA (VARIOUS ROADS IN THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH LAKELAND)(CONSOLIDATION AND PROVISION OF SPEED LIMITS) (ORDER 2007) VARIATION (NO.10) ORDER 20><

STATEMENT OF REASONS

Cumbria County Council considers that it is expedient to propose to make the above Order for the following reasons: -

 for avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or any other road or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising, or

 for facilitating the passage on the road or any other road of any class of traffic (including pedestrians), or

 for preserving or improving the amenities of the area through which the road runs

The restrictions aim to make provision for residents, businesses and visitors whilst also allowing greater flexibility to the area. The restrictions cover the following areas:

Plan 1 – Main Street

On street parking often causes obstruction of the highway, particularly for larger vehicles. Therefore it is proposed to strategically locate lengths of double yellow line on both sides of the carriageway to avoid obstructive parking. The parking spaces shown will remain unrestricted to allow for the greatest flexibility.

Plan 2 – Church View

On street parking in the daytime often causes obstruction of the highway and also encroaches onto footways here. Therefore it is proposed to implement lengths of single yellow line with restriction No Waiting Monday – Saturday 8am – 6pm on one side of the carriageway to avoid obstruction to both pedestrians and vehicles within the daytime hours.

Plan 3 – Station Road (North)

On street parking often causes obstruction of the highway and can also cause pedestrians to walk within the middle of the carriageway. Therefore it is proposed to strategically locate lengths of double yellow line on both sides of the carriageway to avoid obstruction to both pedestrians and vehicles.

Plan 4 – Station Road / Crook Road

On street parking often causes problems with reduced visibility of the highway, particularly at the junctions and bridge here. Therefore it is proposed to implement lengths of double

178 yellow line on both sides of the carriageway to avoid obstruction and improve visibility for vehicles turning into and out of the junctions.

STATEMENT OF REASONS

Statement of reasons

Cumbria County Council considers that it is expedient to propose to make the above Order for the following reasons: -

Staveley TRO & 30mph Speed Limit 2013

Appendix 6 – Consultation Summary

STAVELEY TRO & 30MPH SPEED LIMIT 2013 - CONSULTATION FEEDBACK

RESPONSE TO CONSULTATION, ADVERTISING AND OBJECTIONS

DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Response to Consultation

1. Of the statutory Consultees, Staveley Parish Council and Cumbria Tourism responded to the consultation.

2. Staveley Parish Council commented that the proposed restriction on Church View could be reduced to Mon – Fri 8am – 6pm as Kentmere Ltd doesn’t get deliveries at the weekend.

3. Cumbria Tourism agreed with all the proposals; however they also added that the minimum amount of signage is introduced to avoid spoiling the streetscape of the village.

Response to letter drop among residents; advertising and objections

1. A number of residents responded to our letter drop informing them of the proposals. Some made comments; some made objections.

2. A summary of these responses and objections now follows together with discussion and recommendations.

3. In the notes below, DYL’s = double yellow lines and SYL’s = single yellow lines and TRO = traffic regulation order.

Plan 1 – Main Street

Ref RESPONDANT COMMENTS No. 1A Main Street Resident 1. Agree with proposals as advertised.

2A Main Street Resident 1. The DYL’s proposed outside their property will increase the speed of traffic through the village.

2. Unrestricted parking spaces on Main Street should be 1 hour with resident’s exemption.

3. Rarely notice standing traffic on Main Street due to obstruction of the road.

193 3A Main Street Business 1. Queried whether they will be able to unload deliveries in the same place as they do now.

4A Main Street Resident 1. Problems arise from businesses getting deliveries and causing obstructions, this will still happen.

2. Visitors to Staveley don’t use the free car park in the Mill Yard.

3. Unrestricted parking spaces on main street should be 1 hour with resident’s exemption.

4. Why are DYL’s shown across the layby opposite the pharmacy?

5. Parking problems also occur due to the number of staff cars.

5A Main Street Resident 1. Could the DYL’s be extended across the entrance to the recreation ground.

2. Requested traffic calming or crossing outside the recreation ground entrance.

3. Parked vehicles help to reduce speed through the village.

4. Requested 20mph speed limit through the village.

Recommendation:

1. Respondents 2A & 5A raised concerns about the speed of vehicles through the village after the proposals have been introduced. There are no proposals to reduce the speed limit or provide any traffic calming through the village. It is recommended to monitor the situation after the proposals have been implemented.

2. Respondents 2A & 4A requested that the unrestricted parking bays be turned into limited waiting 1 hour with resident’s exemption. Residents’ parking is not being considered for Main Street at this time. The situation will be monitored and the request will be considered for future TRO’s in that area.

3. Respondent 3A raised concerns about loading previsions for the businesses on Main Street. The proposed “no waiting at any time” (DYL’s) restriction still allow the provision of loading to occur but will stop vehicles parking along those lengths.

4. Respondent 4A queried why the DYL lines were shown across the layby opposite the pharmacy. The layby is currently used for parking but doesn’t form part of the public highway. It is recommended that the length along the layby is omitted from the proposals to avoid any confusion.

5. Respondent 5A has requested that the DYL’s be extended passed the entrance to the recreation ground. We are unable to extend any of the proposals from what has

194 already been advertised and the extended length would require a new TRO. It is recommended that a “keep clear” bar marking is used across the entrance.

6. It is recommended that the restrictions are implemented as advertised, with one amendment. The length of DYL along the layby opposite the pharmacy is to be omitted.

Plan 2 – Church View

Ref RESPONDANT COMMENTS No. 1B Hogghouse Close 1. Concerned that vehicle’s from Kentmere Ltd will Resident just move and park outside Craggside and Hogghouse Close.

2. Consideration to be given to residents parking near to where they live.

2B Parent from School 1. Exemption to the SYL between 8.30-9.00am and 3.00-3.30pm to facilitate dropping off and collecting school children.

3B Hogghouse Close 1. Agrees with most of the length of SYL restriction Resident proposed.

2. Length of SYL proposed opposite the bridge is used by residents, family and friends. Where will they park?

3. During the summer month’s visitors park opposite the layby causing obstructions for larger vehicles.

4B Parent from School 1. They live in Kendal and have to drive to Staveley to drop the kids off for School.

2. Exemption to the SYL, Mon - Fri between 8.30- 9.00am and 3.00-3.30pm to facilitate dropping off and collecting school children.

5B Kentmere Road 1. Strongly objects to the proposed SYL. Resident

2. Drivers will find alternative places to park further along the road.

3. Yellow lines and signs will detract from the rural nature of the village.

Recommendation:

1. Respondents 1B & 5B objected to the proposals and said that visitors and staff will just park further down the road near Hogghouse Close. It is recommended that the situation is monitored and further restrictions considered for future TRO’s.

195 2. Respondent 1B requested residents parking. There are no plans to implement any residents parking in Staveley. The situation will be monitored and the request will be considered for future TRO’s in that area.

3. Respondents 2B & 4B requested that an exemption to the restriction in the morning and the afternoon to facilitate dropping off and collecting school children. Some of the initial concerns raised were to do with the inconsiderate parking by parents at schools times causing obstructions and making it difficult to pass.

4. Respondent 3B that the length of SYL been reduced opposite the bridge as Residents, Family and Friends use this are to park. The restriction only prevents parking between 8am to 6pm; residents will still be able to park in this area at night. The restriction opposite the bridge has been introduced to improve manoeuvres around that junction.

5. It is recommended that the restrictions are implemented as advertised with one amendment. The restriction is to be reduced from Mon – Sat to Mon – Fri.

Plan 3 – Station Road (North)

Ref RESPONDANT COMMENTS No. 1C Station Road 1. Supports the proposals for DYL’s Resident

2. Although concerned about increase to vehicle speeds. Requested for “road narrows” or other traffic calming.

2C Bridge End Cottages 1. Objects to the proposed DYL’s. Resident

2. Restriction will increase the speed of vehicles along Station Road.

3. Inadequate parking available for the residents of Bridge End Cottages. Will mean they will have to park further away.

2. It is recommended that the restrictions are implemented as advertised.

196 Plan 4 – Station Road & Crook Road

197 This page is intentionally left blank Ulverston Town Service

The recent changes made to the bus services in Ulverston came as a result of Stagecoach’s decision to withdraw Service 60 towards the end of 2011. At the time Ulverston Town was served by two buses Service 60 which operated mainly in the South of the town and to the Hospital and service 70 which served the North of the town. As service 60 did not meet the agreed criteria for supporting scheduled bus services it was not possible for the County Council to support this service when it was withdrawn by Stagecoach.

Throughout 2012 a reduced level of service (twice weekly) was provided with funding from external sources including Local Member allowances. Regular reports on this service were made to the South Lakeland Bus Services Working Group. At the same time consultation was carried out with bus users in Ulverston to establish whether a combined service could be introduced which would serve the whole town.

On 18 January 2013 South Lakeland Local Committee agreed to commit £3,100 from the General Provisions Budget towards the cost of a six month trial for a new combined Ulverston Town Centre Bus Service. At the time the Integrated Transport Team had advised members that the operator who provided both Service 60 and 70 had requested in the region of an additional £25 a day to operate a combined service. There was also a chance that a new service would not generate as much income and consequently additional resource would be required to fund the service.

Financial information is now available up until the end of May 2013. The combined service started on 11 February 2013 and on the basis of the usage to date it has been estimated that the additional amount required to run this service for the 6 month trial period is approximately £2,100. Annex 1 shows the costs of Service 70 at the same period during 2012/13 and also for the combined service during 2013/14.

The purpose of the paper is to request an extension of the trial period to give the service time to establish itself. A decision will be required ultimately whether the new combined service can be supported in the future by the scheduled bus services budget.

COUNTY COUNCIL LOCAL COMMITTEE FOR SOUTH LAKELAND

Meeting date: 23 July 2013

From: Acting Chief Executive

ACHIEVEMENTS IN DELIVERING THE SOUTH LAKELAND AREA PLAN: APRIL 2012 TO MARCH 2013

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 This report sets out the progress made in the delivery of priorities and services in the South Lakeland Area Plan 2012-14 in the year to March 2013, and reaffirms activities required in 2013-14 to meet the Area Plan priorities and service delivery requirements.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS

2.1 Area Plans are reviewed and developed through the annual Strategic Planning process. In order to demonstrate that we are able to deliver improved outcomes for South Lakeland, and Cumbria as a whole, it is essential to ensure that the work to develop the priorities for South Lakeland are integrated with those set our in the Council Plan.

2.2 The Council’s Performance Management Framework sets out arrangements for each Local Area Committee to receive a performance report on a regular basis that sets out progress toward delivery of the functions devolved to the Committee.

2.3 In developing the Area Plan, the Local Committee for South Lakeland has considered ‘Quality of Life’ data for the area and has agreed the following area priorities to target its resources:

o Economic Development o attracting sustainable businesses and investment to the area and developing a local economy where wages are higher o Education and Skills o making sure people are work ready and able to access jobs locally for example increasing the number of people entering the caring profession in the area

207 o Travel and Accessibility o working to address the number of people killed or seriously injured on the local roads, helping people get to work, education and leisure, supporting economic development in the area

o Health and Well-Being

o tackling issues of fuel poverty and winter deaths and providing support for the aging population and people with disabilities 2.3 2.4 These priorities are also aligned to the following 4 aspirations in our Council Plan o We want to be a place with a thriving economy where we challenge poverty in all its forms. o We want Cumbria to be a place where you can live in a high quality and sustainable environment and you can easily and safely travel around the County. o We want Cumbria to be a great place to be a child and grow up in; a place of opportunity where young people are able to live happy and productive lives; a place where young people will want to live and work in the future. o We want you to enjoy an independent and healthy life and to be safe from harm, with more control over your life and a say in the decisions which affect you.

4.3 The South Lakeland Area Plan describes how the council’s priorities and aspirations will be delivered locally in South Lakeland – being clear about what needs to be tackled in the area and what the County Council will be doing locally to improve the quality of life for people in South Lakeland.

4.4 South Lakeland Local Committee and the local managers of the council’s services in South Lakeland have worked together to:

o understand the needs of the area and what needs to be improved; o plan where the focus of local County Council services needs to be in order to maximise opportunities and provide a joined up service to local people; o be clear about what the council will be delivering in South Lakeland over the next three years.

From: Chief Executive’s Office

LOCAL REVENUE SCHEMES

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 This report, seeking to commit elements of the Local Revenue Scheme budget, includes Members’ proposals that have been sufficiently investigated and developed, to enable Local Committee to consider spending decisions.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS

2.1 Proposals coming forward under the Local Revenue Scheme should be projects which offer benefits to communities in the Electoral Division concerned and help resolve local issues already identified through local community engagement and which are in line with the priorities within the Council Plan and specific local priorities within the Area Plan for the Local Committee Area.

2.2 If these proposals are developed as a result of effective community engagement they will also contribute to increasing community perceptions of their ability to influence the delivery of public services.

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 Members approve the following:

3.2 A Revenue Grant of £5,000 from the Cartmel Electoral Division to contribute towards the cost of a holistic study into access and other issues in Cartmel village as part of the Cartmel Townscape Initiative.

3.3 A Revenue Grant of £2,000 from the Sedbergh & Kirkby Lonsdale Electoral Division to fund control work to eradicate invasive non-native species along the river Lune.

215 3.4 A Revenue Grant of £1,000 from the Windermere Electoral Division to contribute towards a community project to refurbish public benches in Windermere.

3.5 A Revenue Grant of £3,000 from the Kendal Nether Electoral Division to fund the movement of the current speed limit of 30mph on Castle Drive Road up to the junction of Parkside Road in Kendal.

3.6 A Revenue Grant of £1,000 from the Ulverston West Electoral Division to contribute towards purchasing a new lawn mower for the cutting of the grass on the community football pitches in Ulverston.

3.7 A Revenue Grant of £600 from the Kendal Castle Electoral Division to fund the implementation of 3 new grit bins on Lingmoor Rise and Esthwaite Avenue in Kendal.

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 The 2011/12 budget includes 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 – 2011/12 to 2012/13. Subject to carry forward approval.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 Members may reject any or all of the recommendations; however this could potentially impede community projects which have been identified as local priorities.

6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1 The unallocated resource in Local Committee Revenue Schemes for 2013- 14 is £230,728 as at 30th June 2013.

6.2 Should the recommendations within this report be approved totalling £8,100 then the remaining balance will be £222,628

7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1 The above recommendations are in accordance with paragraph 17 of Part Five of the Constitution (HM)

8.0 CONCLUSION

The use of this revenue budget enables a flexible response to perceived local needs and is capable of resolving some long standing blockages and

216 frustrations for local people, having regard to wider community benefit as a key outcome.

Cartmel Townscape Initiative

Cartmel is successful and growing village, now seen as a year round tourist destination, which with its ancient Priory and historical townscape has a special ambience. It is also a thriving economic centre where jobs have been created.

However, the village does have issues which need to be resolved. Cartmel has a number of constraints which contribute to access difficulties but the constraints are about more than traffic management- they include : - - Townscape and the public realm. - Economic growth with new and expanding businesses - Increasing visitor footfall and numbers - Conflicting interests – residents, visitors, events, church and school - Movement and access for pedestrians, cyclists, horse riders, vehicles of all types including agricultural and large vehicles and also includes parking, deliveries and overall traffic management. - The growing use and development of the Race Course for events. - The village often seems to be at saturation point with a need for conflicting interests to be managed.

Protecting what is good and sensibly managing constraints will improve the quality of life – the Cartmel experience – for every one! Any approach must be holistic and look at all of the aspects listed above to ensure that Cartmel retains its quality of life as a community within which to live and work.

The Parish Council wish to commission a professional and multi disciplinary study. The study will adopt an holistic approach and provide evidenced and detailed recommendations which provide a blue print for future working with key partners including the two upper tier Councils, together with Holker Estates.

The scope of the study will include vision, townscape and heritage, economic viability and sustainability, and the impact of increasing visitor footfall. It will also focus on community quality of life and public realm issues as well as on a movement strategy which looks at active travel, vehicular movement, traffic management and parking.

224 Breakdown of costs (supported by estimates)

The scope of this study would be similar to the Sedbergh Townscape Initiative. The Sedbergh study cost approximately £29,000. Sedbergh is a bigger settlement than Cartmel. The initial estimate for Cartmel is that in order to meet the scoping requirements, the cost would be in the region of £25,000.

Statement of ‘Match Funding’ (where necessary)  SLDC Ward Allowance* £1,000  Lower Allithwaite Parish Council £5,000  Cartmel Village Society* £5,000 * subject to approval by the respective bodies

In addition discussions are in progress with  Holker Estates  Cartmel Trades Association  South Lakeland District Council  Cumbria County Council

Estimated date of completion Autumn 2014

Strategic Fit & Evidence of Community Support (link to Council Plan, Local Area Plan, Community Plans, etc) Council Plan The planned study of Cartmel would contribute towards two of the key aspirations for Cumbria as identified through the Council Plan under the following headings: A place to live in a high quality and sustainable environment A place with a thriving economy

As a holistic study, it also has the potential to contribute towards improving quality of life and achieving the remaining two key aspirations for Cumbria: A great place to be a child and grow up A place to enjoy an independent and healthy life

South Lakeland Area Plan This project would also contribute to two key priorities identified in the South Lakeland Area Plan 2012-14. These are: Travel and Accessibility Economic Development

Community Support The issues to be looked at in this holistic study are issues that were raised by the community in the production of the Lower Allithwaite Community Led Plan, particularly the issues of parking, traffic, economic growth and public realm.

The Community Led Plan was devised following extensive public consultation. The studied approach suggested here envisages a full and ongoing programme of public engagement.

One resident described Cartmel, ‘As being on the cusp!’. There are clear fears recognised by the Parish Council and in the Community Plan that unless a studied approach is adopted then Cartmel is at risk.

Invasive non-native species control work Upper Lune – Japanese knotweed

Cumbria’s unique freshwater environment is increasingly under threat from invasive non-native species. When they become established outside of their native locations some species can cause severe and sometimes irreversible damage to the environment. Species such as Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam can increase the possibility of flooding in highly infested areas. Japanese knotweed can also cause huge damage to man-made structures like building foundations and tarmac roads.

There are four priority plant species within Cumbria for control and eradication – Himalayan balsam, American skunk cabbage, giant hogweed and Japanese knotweed. Himalayan balsam is controlled by volunteer effort via hand pulling or strimming. American skunk cabbage, giant hogweed and Japanese knotweed are controlled via herbicide application which requires specialist licence, equipment and Environment Agency permits – generally beyond the capabilities of many of our volunteers.

South Cumbria Rivers Trust (SCRT) are keen to support local volunteers start and maintain the control and eradication of Himalayan balsam and Japanese knotweed along the course of the river Lune and its tributaries. Many sites host both these species which require the two methods of control. To further raise motivation and commitment of local volunteers we are seeking funding to employ a specialist contractor and to purchase the approved aquatic herbicide for the Japanese knotweed control to initiate the clearing of the Upper Lune’s river bank of invasive non-native species (INNS). This will be match funded by SCRT INNS Officer time towards control work (including sourcing access permissions, EA permits and control as required).

An outcome of this project will be to enhance the Lune as a community resource for the various communities it runs through in the Sedbergh & Kirkby Lonsdale division.

Strategic Fit & Evidence of Community Support (link to Council Plan, Local Area Plan, Community Plans, etc) Council Plan This project would fit with the key aspiration for Cumbria as identified through the Council Plan under the following heading: A place to live in a high quality and sustainable environment

South Lakeland Area Plan This project would also contribute towards the Health and Wellbeing priority identified in the South Lakeland Area Plan 2012-14, by reducing flooding risk and by ensuring that access to the riverside pathway continues to be available to the many people who use it for recreational activity.

Community Support Kirkby Lonsdale Town Council gives its full support to the eradication of invasive species in the River Lune and its tributaries. The riverside path north of Devil’s Bridge is used by thousands of people every year and the Town Council is keen to ensure the riverbanks are protected from invasive plants which can damage them and leave them prone to flooding.

Work to improve the riverside path at Kirkby Lonsdale has been an objective within the town council's community plan for a number of years. The footpath is a significant recreational facility for local residents and an increasingly popular destination for visitors enjoying the riverside environment while walking to and from the town centre. Recent footpath improvements have been very successful, but work to tackle invasive non-native species is now needed to prevent the path from becoming overgrown by them.

Current Local Action Group involvement:  Kirkby Lonsdale – Ruskin’s View and Lily Wood – balsam control  Middleton Hall Beck – balsam control  Sedbergh – balsam control  Upper Lune – INNS surveying

On 15 June 2013, 25 volunteers formed a 5 hour long work party to clear invasive non-native Himalayan Balsam from the river bank. A further work party of 25 people from the Environment agency is taking place at the end of June. Thanks to the efforts of teams of volunteers, progress in tackling Himalayan Balsam has already been made, however professional treatment is required to tackle the Japanese Knotweed.

Windermere Bench Project

During the last six months Windermere Town Council and the Civic Society have been working with the Police Community Problem-Solving team to develop a solution to an issue they have identified: There are currently 171 public benches in and around Bowness and Windermere, many of which are in great need of refurbishment work ranging from a complete re-fit of wood to a lick of paint/stain.

Working with local schools and Age UK South Lakeland, they have drawn together groups of young and older residents to work together to refurbish the benches. The volunteers from Age UK have the relevant skills and expertise gathered through their working lives as tradesmen or their interest in DIY. These skills are being shared with the young people, and together they are working on a project that will benefit the entire community, including both local residents and visitors to the area.

The project offers wider community benefit in a number of ways:  Positive relations built between different generations – the older people feel valued for their skills and the young people feel they have a place in their community by making things happen that have attracted positive praise  Diversion of young people from anti-social behaviour and developing pride and respect for the local area  Reducing crime through creating tidy environment (as identified previously resulting in community visual audits)  Improving public realm and provision of seating for the community and visitors  Increased attractiveness/enhanced visual appearance of Windermere for both residents and visitors

So far 13 benches have been refurbished, but funding is now required to enable the next phase of the project.

COUNTY COUNCIL LOCAL COMMITTEE FOR SOUTH LAKELAND

Meeting date: 23 July 2013

From: Acting Corporate Director, Resources

APPRENTICESHIP FUNDING – UPDATE REPORT

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 This report provides a further update on the progress of the funding providing by the Local Committee to support small employers to take on additional Apprentices.

1.2 To date, the scheme has allocated the funding to twenty-one employers in the district of South Lakeland. These employers have predominantly all recruited their Apprentices; some of whom are coming towards the end of their qualifications.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS

2.1 The Local Committee wished to use their funding to support both small employers in the district, and provide additional opportunities for young people. The aim was to create Apprenticeship positions that had the potential to turn into long-term career opportunities, thus supporting the young people to remain in South Lakeland to pursue their careers in growing enterprises.

2.2 The Apprenticeship funding thus supports the delivery of the Council Plan through a direct contribution to Cumbria becoming:

 A place with a thriving economy where we challenge poverty in all its forms; and where

 Cumbria [is] a great place to be a child and grow up… a place where young people will want to live and work in the future.

2.3 An Equality Impact Assessment has not been carried out on this scheme in particular. However, in the creation of additional job opportunities for young

237 people, the fund has a positive impact on youth unemployment in Cumbria. Currently, 16 to 24 year olds are twice as likely to be claiming Jobseekers Allowance as the working age population as a whole, as identified in the Equality Impact Assessment for Economic Development.

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 That the Committee receive the report.

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 The Local Committee was last updated on the progress of this scheme in September 2012. That report contained details of its operation and parameters, as well as the list of employers supported at that time.

4.2 The scheme was initially supported with £30,000 of Local Committee funding, and subsequently was allocated a further £30,000.

4.3 To summarise, the scheme supports small to medium sized employers (fewer than 250 employees) with a grant of up to £2,500 towards an additional Apprentice aged 16 to 19.

4.4 It was originally envisaged that the training would be managed by Kendal College and Gen II, in line with the County Council’s own Apprenticeship programme. However, in practice the training provider has been determined by the employer, as a number required specialist training not available at either of those organisations. The grant scheme now stipulates that the training provider chosen by the employer needs to have a contract with the Skills Funding Agency to provide apprenticeship training.

4.5 The table shown at Appendix 1 lists the employers supported, the training framework being used, and the amount of funding allocated.

4.6 As can be seen from the table, the budget allocated to this activity is very near to being fully utilised, so it would only be possible to support two more employers at this stage (or five if top-up funding was used with the Government’s Apprenticeship Grant for Employers).

4.7 Difficulties encountered: There have certainly been sufficient employers coming forward in order to use the funding available. However, in some cases, recruitment has been challenging for the employers, who have not been able to find suitable candidates. This is particularly acute in some parts of the district, most notably Kendal. Officers working on the scheme have promoted available vacancies via the National Apprenticeship Service, and worked with other agencies such as Jobcentre Plus, Inspira and the youth engagement team. Even despite this, there have been some instances where the employer has not been able to recruit.

4.8 Employer feedback: In preparing this report, we requested feedback from employers participating in the scheme, and received the following:

238 4.9 Kentdale Land Rover – “The scheme and financial support were a key factor in our decision making process. When we read about the scheme we had no intention to employ another apprentice as we already had four existing apprentices at various stages of their training. The additional finance enabled us to comfortably employ [our Apprentice]. He has proved to be a valued asset in our workshop and is proving more than capable when he attends the Land Rover Academy for his training. Who knows where he would have been if we had not been able to give him a chance.”

4.10 McElwaine Technical Services – “We are pleased with the progress made by [our Apprentice]. He completed six months service with us on the 19th May 2013 and we carried out a performance and salary review to reflect [his] progress to date. [The Apprentice’s] qualification, upon completing his college studies, will be level 3 Diploma in Engineering Maintenance. We have made the commitment to provide the necessary skills and support to ensure [he] is able to advance in this sector and benefit from the higher level skills training available from the proposed expansion of the engineering skills centre at Kendal College. With regard to the initial grant funding, this was helpful in the first year, particularly for SMEs such as ourselves. It would be worthwhile in considering additional funding support to assist candidates to progress beyond the initial training and work experience phase to the higher status positions of technician, technologist and chartered engineering status. One of the primary requirements for any manufacturing or processing company to relocate to an area is an existing pool of skilled maintenance staff. The County desperately needs such companies and it is encouraging to see the local Colleges investing in providing the right courses. This should be complemented by encouraging SMEs to take on apprentices and to provide the necessary practical training and mentoring support.”

4.11 Many of the Apprentices recruited through this scheme are now approaching the end of their qualifications. This may provide a useful opportunity to promote the work of the Local Committee in part-funding their Apprenticeship.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 The Committee could decide to receive the report.

5.2 The Committee could decide not to receive the report.

6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1 South Lakes Local Committee has made two grant awards to Apprenticeship Schemes totalling £60,000. The first was for £30,000 decision made in November 2011 and paid from the 2011-12 0-19 Budget. The second was for £30,000 also decision made in May 2012 and paid from the 2012-13 0-19 Budget.

6.2 The £60,000 is almost utilised (see paragraph 4.6), the amount remaining is £5,047.

239 7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1 There are no direct implications.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 Officers working on the South Lakeland Apprenticeship fund are satisfied with its progress to date, and with the range and quality of Apprenticeships that have been created through it, which would seem to be consistent with the Local Committee’s aims for the scheme.

Five employers have been allocated funding, but the offer has been withdrawn for a number of reasons:

Kendal Upholstery – were unable to find a suitable training provider

Dedicated Partnership – were unable to recruit a desirable candidate

Cumbria Wildlife Trust – recruited an Apprentice that was older than the eligible age range for this scheme

Fuel Exhausts – the candidate they wished to employ was older than the eligible age range for this scheme

DJ Willis Chartered Surveyor – decided to employ a part-time member of staff rather than an Apprentice.

3 Miller Waite were already planning to draw down the Government’s AGE grant of £1,500, so this has been topped up with the local funding.
