    Authority Monitoring Report 2015/16 Contents Page Introduction 1 SECTION A 2 DIRECT IMPACT INDICATORS Meeting Sefton’s Needs 3 Economic Development and Regeneration 9 Housing and Communities 13 Infrastructure 22 Design and Environmental Quality 24 Natural and Heritage Assets 30 SECTION B 33 INDIRECT IMPACT INDICATORS SECTION C 45 DUTY TO COOPERATE SECTION D 48 PROGRESS WITH LOCAL DEVELOPMENT SCHEME SECTION E 51 NEIGHBOURHOOD PLANNING SECTION F PROGRESS WITH INFRASTRUCTURE WORKING GROUP RECOMMENDATIONS 2 Introduction This is the Council’s twelve Authority Monitoring Report (AMR) (formerly Annual Monitoring Report). Previous publications are available at www.sefton.gov.uk/AMR. This is the first AMR that has been published following the adoption of the Sefton Local Plan (April 2017) and first AMR that uses the monitoring framework set out at Appendix 3 of the Local Plan. As this is the first year of reporting the newly adopted monitoring framework it is not always possible to show trends in performance. Many of the indicators are being reported on for the first time. As the monitoring framework becomes established the trend based information will be built up and progress will be much easier to be determined. Nevertheless this AMR still provides a substantial overview of the progress with many of the strategic aims of the Local Plan and the policies that seek to secure them. This is despite the fact that many Local Plan policies will not yet have been fully implemented. The AMR is split into a number of distinct sections. Section A looks at direct impact indicators. These are those indicators that the implementation of planning policies will have a direct impact on.

  • Wirral Council's Response to Critical Reports 2010-13
    Wirral Council’s response to critical reports 2010-13 1 2 Foreword by Leader of Wirral Council Councillor Phil Davies and Chief Executive Graham Burgess Wirral Council is emerging from one of the most difficult periods in its history; a period in which we have critically evaluated everything we do, and invited others to do the same. Our past failures have made this work necessary. We have invited challenge, and made ourselves open to criticism. Wirral Council, like all local authorities, is heading into uncharted territory in which the entire notion of local government is being discussed, evaluated and transformed. We are ready to make this progression. As an authority, we are learning to have confidence in our own work again. We are able to trust the work of our colleagues. A number of independent external reports have raised concerns and made specific recommendations about how we needed to change our processes and our constitution. We have listened, and we have changed. We were also told we needed to change our culture. We have made substantial progress in identifying and fixing what was wrong, and we are resolute in continuing this work. External experts have overseen these changes, and have endorsed them. Now we need to embed these learnings. Since 2011, immense efforts have been made to review our processes, our attitudes and our preconceptions about how we can best serve Wirral people. Wirral’s officers and councillors have been challenged to learn and to develop. This report represents an analysis of the major concerns raised with the Council in recent years, our response and how we are continuing to respond to the matters raised.
