Report authorised by: Executive Director of Finance – Mike Suarez.
Executive summary
The Council is required by law to adopt a statement of accounts for the 2005/06 financial year no later than 30 June 2006. The Corporate Committee has the appropriate authority to approve the accounts. The draft statement of accounts is attached as Appendix 1.
Under the Council’s Financial Regulations, the approval of the carrying forward of unspent revenue budgets rests with the Council. This report recommends that carry- forwards totalling £1,585,539 be approved in principle, subject to ratification at the next available Council meeting.
Summary of financial implications
Other than the proposed approval in principle of the carry-forwards approving this report does not commit the Council to any additional expenditure.
Recommendations (1) That the Committee approves the Statement of Accounts for 2005/06 as set out in Appendix 1 to this report. (2) That the Committee approve in principle the carry-forwards as set out in paragraph 2.3, subject to ratification at the next available Council meeting. (3) That the Committee request the Executive Director of Finance to permit departments to spend against “approved in principle” carry-forwards in order to facilitate service delivery. In the event that any “in principle” approvals are not ratified by the Council the Executive Director of Finance will recover the sums from the relevant departments by requiring them to make compensating savings within their 2006/07 cash limits.

Statement of Accounts 2005/06
1. Context
1.1 This report is backwards looking in that it presents the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2006. It therefore lays a key foundation stone for the July review, when the Council’s current financial position will be reported in detail. Last year marked the first year that the accounts were available prior to the July review. This improvement has been maintained in 2006.
1.2 The production and approval of the Council’s accounts is an important process. It enables stakeholders to review the Council’s financial position for the year ended 31 March 2006 and the overall financial activity within the year. Producing the accounts and approving them before 30 June 2006 is a legal duty, and also a key target in the Lambeth improvement plan.
1.3 By approving the accounts on 27 June 2006 the council will, for the second year running, have completed this key task before the end of June. The table below shows the improvements made since the 2001/02 accounts were prepared.
Year Date accounts Statutory Days from Comments approved deadline to year-end to approve approve accounts accounts 2001/02 29 September 30 Sept 2002 182 Accounts later withdrawn and 2002 substantially amended as material under provision for bad debts became apparent 2002/03 17 Sept 2003 30 Sept 2003 170 Accounts certified by District Auditor by deadline with only one qualification (commutation adjustment) 2003/04 29 July 2004 31 August 120 30% improvement on previous year, 2004 statutory deadline beaten by 1 month, accounts not qualified for first time in at least 17 years 2004/05 27 June 2005 31 July 2005 88 Further 27% improvement on previous year, time taken halved in 2 years, statutory deadline again beaten by 1 month 2005/06 27 June 2006 30 June 2006 88 The statutory deadline has been shortened by a month. The Council has continued to meet the deadline. It is not felt prudent to reduce further the period available for the preparation of the accounts.
1.4 Although aspects of the presentation of the accounts have been amended in line with statutory provisions and accounting practice, there are no changes to the format that require highlighting to this committee. 2005/06 marks the first year of the requirement to produce “group accounts”, which consolidate the accounts for Lambeth Council and any other bodies in which the council has a controlling
Item 3 Corporate Committee (27.06.06) Statement of Accounts 2005/06 3 Page 4
interest. The Council has reviewed its activities and determined that there are no such bodies and therefore no need to produce group accounts.
1.5 The process for adopting the accounts is set out below. Prior to any decision to adopt the accounts:
“the responsible financial officer…shall sign and date the statement of accounts, income and expenditure account and statement of balances” and
“following [the above] approval the statement of accounts shall be signed and dated by the person presiding at the meeting at which that approval was given” Accounts and Audit Regulations 2003
1.6 The responsible financial officer for Lambeth is the Executive Director of Finance. In order to achieve the above it is recommended that he sign the accounts at the meeting (but before the decision to approve the accounts is taken). Provided that the Committee does determine to adopt the accounts it is recommended that the person presiding at the meeting (i.e. the Chair) signs the accounts immediately thereafter.
2. The Statement of Accounts
2.1 The statement of accounts contains all the requisite information required by statute. The foreword to the accounts includes a “plain English” explanation of the significant financial transactions in the year and of the year-end balances.
2.2 However, under the Financial Regulations (section 6B, Financial Procedures, paragraph 1.23) no carry forwards of unspent budgets are permitted without the approval of the full Council. Included within the Statement of Accounts are carry- forwards totalling £1,585,539. The Statements have been prepared on the assumption that they will be approved.
2.3 The requests are as follows: • £478,00 in respect of expenditure covered by the school standards fund grant. The underspend arose because the grant funding relates to the education year rather than the financial year. If it is not approved the money will have to be returned to the DfES; • £620,000 of expenditure relating to the non-delegated part of the schools budget. These funds can only be spent within the schools spending block and therefore cannot be used for other purposes. • £61,689 for the costs of retendering the waste contract. Budget provision for this was made in 2005/06, but it was always envisaged that this process would span financial years. • £150,000 for the Leisure Review project. This is an on-going multi-year project and this carry forward would allow it to continue. • £275,850 for the Oracle Financial Systems to purchase new software to improve delivery of financial information across the council.
Item 3 Corporate Committee (27.06.06) Statement of Accounts 2005/06 4 Page 5
2.4 A business case for each request has been submitted to the Finance Department and reviewed by the Executive Director of Finance. It is recommended that the Committee approve these carry-forwards, subject to ratification at the next available Council meeting. In order to facilitate delivery of the relevant services it is also recommended that the Executive Director of Finance be authorised to approve expenditure against these items during 2006/07, subject to the caveat that the sums will be recovered from the appropriate departmental cash limit should Council decide not to ratify any of the recommended sums.
3. Comments from Executive Director of Finance
3.1 Other than the carry-forward requests noted above there are no direct financial implications in approving the accounts.
4. Comments from Director of Legal and Democratic Services
4.1 The Accounts and Audit Regulations 2003 came into force on 1 st April 2003, replacing the previous Regulations of 1996. Regulation 10 requires the statement of accounts for the financial year 2005/06 to be approved by a resolution of the Council or a committee of the Council by 30 June 2006.
4.2 As the approval of the statement of accounts is not an executive function, the Council has arranged for this function to be discharged by Corporate Committee.

1 Page 9 FOREWORD TO THE ACCOUNTS BY THE RESPONSIBLE FINANCE OFFICER During the financial year ended 31 March 2006 Lambeth’s financial position has been stabilised and the achievements of the last two years consolidated. x The general fund balance as at 31 March 2006 stands at £0.5m compared with a deficit of £28m three years ago. An additional LMS balance of £10.2m brings the total to £10.7m. x For the third year running the accounts have been prepared within or ahead of the statutory deadline; and x For the third year running total expenditure was contained within the budget, the final departmental outturn being an underspend of £0.5m compared with an underspend of £0.3m in 2004/05. Although general fund reserves are at an insufficiently high level there is a clear medium-term financial strategy to address this by 2009. During the audit of the 2004/05 accounts the possible impact of capital financing transactions dating back to at least the early 1990s was identified with the council’s auditors. The precise legal basis for this adjustment – commonly known as Adjustment A – is being established. Its impact on the general fund balance to 31 March 2006 would be £23.25m. This is disclosed by way of a provision against prior years, to ensure that the general fund balance takes account of this possible change. Lambeth’s financial management cycle includes an assessment of all the risks facing the council at the start of the year, updated through the July review. Action plans to contain these risks are developed and implemented from an early stage, and progress against them monitored and reviewed at the most senior level every month. This process, coupled with the fact that the 2003/04 accounts received an unqualified audit opinion (the first time in nearly 20 years that Lambeth’s accounts have not been qualified), meant that decisions throughout the year were taken on a sound basis, informed by the relevant facts. As a result the final general fund balance of £10.6m is closely in line with the forecasts made throughout the year. Further work will be required over the next two years to bring the balances over £30m and towards the 10% of net expenditure deemed necessary. Further improvements to controls will be developed over time. In particular, expenditure at the departmental level exceeded the budgets available, especially for the Environment and Cultural Services and Adult and Community Services departments. These were balanced by recognising anticipated savings elsewhere, including within corporate special items. The council took advantage of the transitional exemption from preparing group accounts for 2004/05, and in 2005/06 has assessed that there are no group transactions to disclose. There are no contingent liabilities that require disclosure. The accounts follow the prescribed CIPFA format, and as a result the consolidated revenue accounts cannot easily be related to the council’s operational management structure. Accordingly a brief summary of the outturn at departmental level is set out below.

The main variances from the budget are summarised below.
Adult and Community Services – The overspend was forecast throughout the year and reflects pressure on client numbers and placement costs mainly within the Older People and Disabilities divisions.
Children and Young people’s Services – The underspend resulted from the successful implementation of management action plans during the latter part of the year.
Environment and Cultural Service – The overspend was due to parking income being below expected activity levels during the year.
Housing General Fund – Better than expected levels of income from temporary accommodation coupled with a significant decrease in the bad debt provision accounted for the underspend.
For the three central departments the underspend was due to management action in the last quarter of the year.
The position on capital expenditure in the year is set out below.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE - 2005/06 Department Budget 2005/06 Actual 2005/06 Variance 2005/06 £M £0 £0
ACS 3.2 1.9 (1.3) Corporate Services 28.1 25.9 (2.2) CYPS 44.5 20.7 (23.8) ECS 33.5 19.4 (14.1) Finance 0.3 0.3 0.0 Housing 80.9 52.2 (28.7) OACE 1.1 0.7 (0.4) Revenue Capitalisation 2.0 1.1 (0.9)
Total 193.6 122.2 (71.4)
Some of the underspends appear substantial, but are in practice either the result of delays in obtaining necessary planning approvals and/or letting the relevant contracts or represent approved carry forward of capital budgets into 2006/07 for schemes with a project completion phase spanning two or more financial years.
The council’s total net worth declined by £680m mainly as a result of the five-yearly revaluation of council dwellings. The ratio of current assets to liabilities has been maintained at a healthy 2:1. Long-term borrowing has been increased by £27m in order to take advantage of low current interest rates. Available capital receipts have also increased by some £13m. Looking ahead the long-term liability on the pension fund remains a significant concern, with the assessed deficit now at £385m. However, a combination of increased employer’s contributions and improved controls over early retirements, together with prospects of improved stock market returns mean that this should be made good over the next 20 years, in line with actuarial advice.
The council’s financial position still has significant areas to tackle. Long-term capital under-investment for a period of years is only just starting to be made good. Major funding sources such as BSF help, and the council has also recently entered into, or is actively negotiating, contracts under the Private Finance Initiative, as well as considering other options for increasing its available capital resources over the long-term. Furthermore, the scale of some of the major projects that the council has entered into, such as Revitalise and BSF demonstrate the scale of ambition and also necessarily carry with them a high degree of attendant risks. Proper project management techniques will naturally be employed to mitigate these.
The council’s pension fund’s assets increased by some £145m during the year, reflecting improved investment performance. Additionally, as a proportion of the fund’s long-term liabilities under FRS17 this has actually increased from about 58% to 61% over the financial year, as a result of changes to the actuarial assessment. As with previous years additional funding has been earmarked to make good the shortfall over the long-term.
3 Page 11 The collection fund recorded a modest surplus of £1.1m for the year. Debt collection performance during 2005/06 hit 93.1%, exceeding the year’s target. With continuing improvement it should be possible to consider a future distribution to preceptors, most probably for the 2006/07 financial year.
The housing revenue account balance has declined to £4.3m from £9.7m in 2004/05 as a result of heavy spending on repairs, with a further £7m in the capital reserve for receipts under section 20. The pressure on the council to deliver to the Decent Homes standard by 2010 continues to grow, and the affordability gap has still not been fully bridged. The impact of the alleged fraud against the Housing department, including the ongoing costs of investigation is fully disclosed within the HRA statements.
The general fund balance is lower than required but there are clear medium term financial plans to address this. In summary the accounts present an authority where the prospects for further improvements are good. The council still faces a series of major financial risks, but is actively managing these so as to ensure that the financial recovery of the last three years is not jeopardised.

In assessing liabilities for retirement benefits at 31 March 2004 for the 2003/04 Statement of Accounts, the actuary was required by the SORP to use a discount rate of 3.5% real (6.5% actual). For the 2004/05 and 2005/06 Statement of Accounts, a rate based on the current rate of return on a high-quality corporate bond of equivalent currency and term to scheme liabilities is to be used. The actuary advised that a rate of 2.4% real (5.4% actual) in 2004/05 and 1.7% real (4.9% actual) in 2005/06 was appropriate. Application of this rate resulted in an increase in liabilities of £149.9m in 2004/05 and £118.3m in 2005/06, adjusted for by an increase in actuarial losses recognized for the year in the Statement of Total Movements on Reserves.

STATEMENT OF INTERNAL CONTROL FOR YEAR ENDED 31 March 2006
1. BACKGROUND
1.1.1. The Authority is required to publish an annual statement of internal control under the provisions of Regulation 4 of the Accounts and Audit (Amendment)(England) Regulations 2006 and also the CIPFA Code of Practice on UK Local Authority Accounting 2002: A Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP). The following statement is the second under these regulations and follows on from the statement of internal control, which was included in the 2004/05 annual accounts.
1.2. Whilst this Statement relates to the 2005/06 year, it should be noted that there was a change in Administration during May 2006 with a new Leader and Cabinet appointed.
2. THE AUTHORITY’S RESPONSIBILITY
2.1. The Authority has to make sure it carries out all its functions in accordance with the law, contracts and proper standards; that public money is safeguarded and properly accounted for; used economically, efficiently and effectively; and its financial and operating information is timely, accurate and complete. Also, the Authority has a duty under the Local Government Act 1999 to make arrangements to secure continuous improvement in the way in which its services are delivered, having regard to obtaining best value.
2.2. In discharging its overall responsibility, the Authority has to consider the risks to achieving its objectives and priorities and ensure that there is a sound system of internal control in place to mitigate them through the application of a risk management process.
3. WHAT THE SYSTEM OF INTERNAL CONTROL DOES
3.1. The Authority’s system of internal control helps to manage and control the business risks the Authority experiences in delivering its operations. Not all these risks can be eliminated but they can be reduced and mitigated by implementing effective systems of control. The internal control system can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance of effectiveness.
3.2. The system of internal control is an ongoing process designed to identify and prioritise the risks the Authority faces in achieving its policies, aims and objectives. It evaluates the likelihood of those risks being realised and the impact should they occur, and manages them.
3.3. The system of internal control has been in place in the Authority for the year ended 31 March 2006 and up to the date of approval of the annual accounts and, except for the details of significant internal control issues at section 7, accords with proper practice.
4. THE AUTHORITY’S INTERNAL CONTROL ENVIRONMENT
4.1. The key features of the Authority’s internal control environment are as follows:
1) The Authority’s has implemented its Improvement Plan, which details what the council will do to deliver the Community Strategy and its key priorities over a three year period (2005-2008). The Plan is made operational through the departments’ Service Plans and the work programmes of all staff. The Plan was refreshed during the year and will cover the next three years from 2006–2009, updating and building on the Improvement Plan 2005-2008.
2) The Council’s governance structure is laid down in its constitution, which sets out how the Council operates, how decisions are made and the procedures that are followed. The business of the Council is governed in a cabinet style with scrutiny committees. The Executive (Cabinet) comprises a Leader, Deputy Leader and six Executive Members (councillors) with an Overview & Scrutiny Committee and scrutiny sub-committees. There are also five Area Committees, and five Town Centre Areas and Partnership Boards and other consultative bodies that play a part in the decision making process.
3) A number of committees have responsibility for governance matters, the key ones being the Corporate Committee (finance, audit/fraud/risk, and an overview of the constitution),
8 Page 16
Standards Committee (conduct of Councillors and other representatives), and Scrutiny Committees. The Authority has an open government policy which means that as much information as possible is made available to the public, and is published on the internet. Sometimes certain documents are not open to the public, this can be for legal reasons or to protect sensitive information. In addition, senior officers of the council can make decisions under delegated authority. The Authority publishes a Forward Plan which contains details of key decisions to be made by the Council, its committees and Chief Officers under their delegated powers.
4) The Authority has a range of policies and procedures covering all aspects of the CIPFA/SOLACE Framework for Corporate Governance. Regular reports on all aspects are submitted to the relevant Committees. A further review of compliance with the Code will be carried out in 2006/07 to co-incide with the start of the new Administration’s term.
5) The Authority has built up a sound risk management infrastructure, including reviewing and updating its risk management strategy and action plan, rolling out of risk registers across the council using a software package, regular meetings of the Risk Management Group and training. Risk management is an integral part of annual service planning. Close working was initiated with partner organisations, business continuity planning, emergency planning and civil contingency arrangements to ensure that these are tied in with risk management and that risks associated with these areas are recorded and managed. Further, a Risk benchmarking Club was instigated to learn and share experiences.
6) The Authority commissioned an efficiency and Value For Money (VFM) review of its arrangements to measure and improve value for money (VFM) and provides consultancy support to help it improve those arrangements. The review report is being implemented in phases. This approach will enable the Authority to deliver on the Government’s Value for Money in local government through the Gershon Review and the 2004 Spending Review. Efficiency governance arrangements have been established to deliver improved Value For Money and annual efficiency savings and key projects.
7) The Authority continues to ensure that trained and experienced staff deliver services. All posts have a detailed job description and person specification. Training needs are identified through the employees’ Personal Development Plans, developed alongside the service plan and their work programme and addressed via a variety of Learning & Development opportunities. These include induction, corporate training programmes, leadership development and coaching.
8) The council has designated the Executive Director of Finance as its Chief Financial Officer under the terms of Section 114 of the 1988 Local Government Finance Act, and his role is to prevent unlawful expenditure and to set a balanced budget. The council has designated the Director of Legal Services as Monitoring Officer. It is the function of the Monitoring Officer to ensure compliance with established policies, procedures, laws and regulations. After consulting with the Head of Paid Service and Chief Finance Officer, the Monitoring Officer will report to the full Council if he considers that any proposal, decision or omission would give rise to unlawfulness or maladministration. Such a report will have the effect of stopping the proposal or decision being implemented until the report has been considered.
9) The financial management of the authority is conducted in accordance with the financial rules set out in Part 3 (Section 4) of the Constitution and with Financial Regulations. The Council has designated the Executive Director of Finance as Chief Finance Officer in accordance with Section 151 of the Local Government Act 1972.
10) The Council maintains an Internal Audit and Corporate Anti Fraud function, which operates to the standards set out in the current ‘Code of Practice for Internal Audit in Local Government in the UK’.
11) The Council has an objective and professional relationship with external auditors and statutory inspectors, as evidenced by the Annual Audit Letter.
12) The Council has a performance management framework that is tasked with the many facets of performance management and improvement for the council. Putting in place effective
9 Page 17
performance measurement and management meant that Lambeth could clarify and prioritise its aims and objectives, disseminating areas of good practice and targeting individual areas of weakness, helping to drive up performance across the board.
13) The Authority safeguards its assets through the implementation of a losses prevention programme aimed at reducing the opportunities for avoidable losses from error, mismanagement and fraud. Whistleblowing and specialist investigation teams are provided for.
5. REVIEW OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS
5.1. The Authority is responsible for, at least once in each year, performing a review of the effectiveness of the system of internal control and conducting a review of the effectiveness of its system of internal audit. The work of the internal audit function and the tracking of the implementation of significant audit and investigation recommendations inform the review of the effectiveness of the system of internal control. It is also informed by comments made by the external auditors and other review agencies and inspectorates in their annual audit letter and other reports.
5.2. The effectiveness of the system of internal control has been reviewed throughout the year as part of the Authority’s internal audit coverage. Internal audit provides an annual report in July following end of the financial year and a six-month progress report on internal control and fraud risk management to the Audit Board (meeting of 30th May 2006) and Corporate Committee (meeting of 28th June 2006). Officers are held to account by Audit Board and Corporate Committee through the use of challenge sessions to focus on any areas of weakness or non-compliance. With regards to the Audit Board, the internal auditors meet monthly with senior finance staff to report the outcomes of reviews and internal control issues.
5.3. The Authority’s Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA) rating has improved again and it is now a two-star authority, according to Audit Commission’s scores announced in December 2005. It is the second year in a row Lambeth has moved up a category and, in the words of the Audit Commission, “Lambeth is improving well”. The Council is delivering improvements across the majority of service areas. Over 65 per cent of performance indicators have improved since 2002/03 and educational achievements, benefits, waste collection, recycling and the looked after children’s services have all improved. Good progress has been made on meeting government targets on accessing services electronically. Areas requiring further improvement include housing, which remains high spending, and a continued emphasis on value for money. At the request of the council, the Improvement and Development Agency (IDEA) will be visiting us from 12 - 16 June to carry out a peer review. The aim of the review, which is not an inspection, is to help us assess our current achievements and identify those areas in which we are doing well and those where we need to do better, in time our next corporate performance assessment in 2008.
5.4. The process that has been applied in maintaining and reviewing the effectiveness of the system of internal control includes:
1) The Director of Legal and Democratic Services (the ‘Monitoring Officer’) has a duty to monitor and review the operation of the Constitution to ensure its aims and principles are given full effect. The Council reviews the Constitution each year at its Annual Meeting.
2) The Council has an Overview and Scrutiny Committee and four Scrutiny Sub Committees. They can “call-in” a decision that has been made by a policy committee but not yet implemented, to enable them to consider whether the decision is appropriate. They allow residents to have a greater say in Council matters by holding public enquiries into matters of local concern.
3) The Council has delegated to the Corporate Committee and the officer-composed Audit Board responsibility for discharging the functions of an audit committee, including the provision of independent assurance of the adequacy of the risk management framework and the associated control environment, independent scrutiny of the authority’s financial and non-financial performance to the extent that it affects the authority’s exposure to risk and weakens the control environment, and to oversee the financial reporting process.
4) In terms of decision making, in 2006/07 the council will be looking at better ways to track
10 Page 18
decisions through to implementation i.e. to account for action taken after minutes have been published. A new Democratic Services back office system was procured in 2005/06 to achieve this (‘modern government’) and this system would go live in 2006/07.
5) Internal Audit are responsible for monitoring the quality and effectiveness of the entire control environment. Its scope extends to systems and services provided wholly by, or in conjunction with other organizations, including partnering arrangements. A risk model is used to formulate a strategic plan which is approved by the Corporate Committee, and from which the annual workload is identified. The reporting process for Internal Audit requires a report of each audit to be submitted to the relevant Chief Officer and service manager. The report includes recommendations for improvements in risk, control and performance that are included within an action plan showing the responsible officer, resources required and due date for implementation. The process includes monthly reviews of the implementation of recommendations using an automated tracker system to ensure that they are acted upon.
6) The Council's systems of internal financial control were assessed by external audit as adequate, in its 2004/05 audit but published in January 2006, meeting minimum requirements and, also, had generally adequate arrangements in place to promote probity and propriety in the conduct of its business.
7) The Internal Audit Section is subject to regular inspection by the Council’s external auditors who place reliance on the work carried out by the section. A full review was undertaken in this year by the external auditor and found [to be inserted]
8) Internal Audit carried out an on-line self-assessment survey to support the compilation of this Statement. The responses received were respondents’ assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls in operation in their department. The results of the survey was used to facilitate the completion of the Statement of Internal Control, by identifying those areas within the Authority that may require additional input in order to enhance controls in operation and those areas where internal controls in place are reported as effective. Almost 50% of respondents believe that they regularly comply with best practice and that internal controls in place are effective.
9) Significant progress has been made in delivering the risk management strategy and towards improving the management of risk across the council over the last two years. The Risk Management Policy Statement and Strategy was updated and approved in January 2006 to reflect the improvements that have already been achieved to date, and to allow the council to make further improvements in embedding risk management across the council and whilst working with all of its partners. The Corporate Risk Management Steering Group continues to meet quarterly and co-ordinates the development of risk management across the Authority. The rollout of the risk register to managers continued with the risk registers being populated and a mechanism introduced for updating the registers with new and emerging business risks. Close working with business continuity planning, emergency planning and civil contingency arrangements was initiated to ensure that these are tied in with risk management and that risks associated with these areas are recorded and managed.
10) A number of Governance Boards composing senior officers across the Authority meet on a monthly basis and review progress on performance management issues, audit, risk management and Best Value service reviews. There is an officer-composed Audit Board, which meets monthly to oversee audit activity and monitor implementation of recommendations.
11) An officer Housing Improvement Board was established with an Executive Member to oversee the work of the Department as a response to the poor management and compliance culture identified during the investigation to the major £3million fraud.
12) The Authority is no longer subject to monitoring by the former Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. This means that the ODPM now has faith in us to deliver our own projects and improvement.

The Housing Revenue Account (HRA) is a statutory statement, which summarises the transactions relating to the provision, maintenance and management of the Council’s housing stock. The Local Government and Housing Act 1989 required the ring fencing of the Account with effect from 1 April 1990, thereby prohibiting cross subsidy between the HRA and the General Fund. The Government introduced a new prescribed format for the HRA with effect from 1 April 2001.

RETIREMENT BENEFITS 19. There are three pension schemes to which the Council makes contributions and their treatments in the accounts differ, according to the nature of the scheme. The Teachers’ Pension Scheme, administered by the Teachers Pensions Agency (TPA), is a defined benefit scheme. However, due to it being impossible to identify the Council’s share of the underlying liabilities in the scheme attributable to its own employees, it is accounted for on the same basis as a defined contribution scheme. The pensions of non-teaching staff in schools are administered by the London Pensions Fund Authority, as a Local Government Pension Scheme. Its treatment is the same as for the scheme above. The Council is responsible for the costs of any additional benefits awarded upon early retirement outside the terms of these schemes. In addition to the two schemes above, the authority also has its own Pension Fund, which is a defined benefits scheme. The accounts are based on the actuarial valuation as at 31 March 2006 for the purposes of FRS17, and the last full actuarial valuation as at 31 March 2004, both conducted by Hymans Robertson.

1. Under the arrangements for Council Tax, each domestic property within the Council’s area was assigned to one of eight valuation bands based on the estimated market value at 1 April 1991. The total number of dwellings in each band is then adjusted to account for discounts, exemptions and other expected movements in the year. The Council Tax is set for band D properties and the tax for other bands calculated as a proportion of the band D tax. For the year ended 31 March 2006, the band D Council Tax was set at £1,095.96 based upon a tax base of 97,263 (for 2004/05, £1050.52 based upon a tax base of 96,297) and included the £254.62 requirement of the Greater London Authority.

2. National Non-Domestic Rates are organised on a national basis. Central Government specifies an amount, 42.2p in 2005/06 (45.6p in 2004/05) and 41.5p for small business rate-relief.. Subject to the effects of transitional arrangements local businesses pay rates which are calculated by multiplying their rateable value by this amount.
The Council is responsible for collecting rates due from the ratepayers in its area and then pays the proceeds into an NNDR pool administered by Central Government. Central Government then redistributes the sums paid into the pool back to local authorities’ General Funds, on the basis of a fixed amount per head of population.
The NNDR income shown in the account for 2005/06 is based upon a total rateable value for the Council’s area of £238.845m at 31 March 2006, following a revaluation exercise (£174.927m at 31 March 2005).
3. Collection Fund Surpluses and Deficits
The regulations state that an estimate of the balance on the Collection Fund at the year-end must be made on the 15 January preceding that year-end. Any calculated surplus or deficit on the Collection Fund in respect of Council Tax is required to be made good in the following year by contributions to or from the Council’s General Fund and from or to the Greater London Authority in proportion to the level of demand each makes on the Fund. Any surplus or deficit in respect of Community Charges is fully attributable to the London Borough of Lambeth in subsequent years.
4. Adjustments in Respect of Community Charges
Although Council Tax replaced Community Charge from 1 April 1993, the Council continues to account for residual adjustments in relation to the Community Charge raised in earlier years in the Collection Fund. The amount shown in the 2005/06 account in respect of Community Charge adjustments is made up as follows:
2004/05 2005/06 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 Reduction/(increase) in Community Charge receivable (42) (7) Transfers (to)/from the Collection Fund Community Charge Benefits 45 7 Transitional relief 1 0 Community Charge transfer 0 0 46 7 Reduction in provision for bad debts (95) (47) Net Community Charge adjustments (91) (47)

7. Management of the Fund
Initially, the book cost of £300.00m was divided equally between Deutsche Asset Management (DeAM) and UBS Asset Management (UBS). As a result of an Asset/Liability study undertaken during the year it was decided to restructure the fund and appoint an additional fund manager AllianceBernstein (AB). The fund was restructured in January 2005. As at 31st March 2006, the total market value of the investments of the Fund was £677.4 million (£535.2 million at 31st March 2005), of which 31.0% was managed by Aberdeen, 41.2% by UBS and 27.0% by AB. Various other managers invest the remainder in Venture Capital Funds including an investment of £2.3 million made in F&C Ethical Trust. In March 2006, £1.0m was invested in private equity managed by Adams Street Partners.
The table below shows the breakdown of the investments at market value between the managers. In September 2005, Deutsche Asset Management sold its fund management business to Aberdeen Asset Management.

Freedom of the Borough
All Wards / All Areas
Report authorised by: Eric Bohl, Executive Director of Strategy and Corporate Services
Executive summary
At the Council meeting on 22 February 2006 a resolution was passed recommending the conferment of the Freedom of the Borough on Alfie Howard for his services to the Borough. The resolution also suggested that the Corporate Committee develop a procedure and some criteria for any future proposals to confer the Freedom of the Borough on any individual/organisation.
At a subsequent meeting on 27 June 2006 the Corporate Committee resolved to consider such criteria after consultation had been carried out and a further report submitted to the committee.
The Council has the power under section 249(5) to confer the title of “Freeman of the Borough” on persons who have in the opinion of the Council rendered eminent services to the Borough.
Summary of financial implications
The Council has powers under Section 249(6) to spend a reasonable sum as thought fit for the purpose of presenting an address or casket. The approximate costs including a scroll, gift and a reception would be £3,000 for each conferment. Such expenditure can be absorbed in Democratic Services/Electoral Services budgets provided that the conferment of Freedom of the Borough remains an infrequent and special event.
Recommendations (1) That the Council be recommended that the terms of reference of Corporate Committee be extended by the following addition: 12. To consider nominations for Freedom of the Borough, these in accordance with the agreed criteria, and make recommendation to the Council if it is considered that the honour should be made. And renumber existing terms of reference accordingly. (2) That the criteria for the consideration of individuals or organisations for receiving the Freedom of the Borough, as set out, be agreed, subject to a decision being taken as to whether limitations should be placed on the conferment.

Freedom of the Borough
1. Context
1.1 At the Council meeting on 22 February 2006 Council passed the following resolution:
“This Council resolves that Alfie Howard be awarded the Freedom of the Borough of Lambeth, in recognition of dedicated service to Lambeth as the Borough's Town Crier for over sixty years.
Council also agrees to refer to the Corporate Committee, for consideration in the next municipal year, a review of the criteria and procedure for conferring the award of Honorary Freeman of Lambeth Borough.”
An extraordinary meeting of Council has been called for 22 November 2006 to award the Freedom of the Borough of Lambeth to Alfie Howard.
1.2 This report therefore sets out a proposed procedure and criteria for any future conferment of Freedom of the Borough
1.3 Freedom of the Borough is the highest award the Council can bestow, other than to former councillors, in respect of which the Council may confer the title “honorary alderman”. In the early 1970s Lambeth conferred the award on Marcus Lipton the former MP for Brixton Central, prior to that there were a couple of awards in the 1930s and 1940s. Other authorities bestow the honour on individuals such as sports people, local people who have made a significant contribution to the locality or have achieved something outstanding, also sports teams or a rescue service or forces units based in their area.
1.4 The award of Freedom of the Borough does not convey with it any legal rights or responsibilities other than a ceremonial role at civic functions. The office dates back to the middle ages when Freemen did have commercial privileges and a route into positions of power in a town or city.
2. Proposals and reasons
Procedure
2.1 That nominations may be received from Councillors, Officers, MPs, outside organisations and members of the public who are on the electoral register. The nomination should set out the reason why the honour should be conferred.
2.2 Nominations should be submitted to the Corporate Committee via the Head of Democratic Services. Corporate Committee will then make recommendations to Council if it considers that Freedom of the Borough would be an appropriate honour. Council is therefore recommended that the terms of reference of Corporate Committee be amended accordingly. It is necessary for the full
Page 48
Council to make a separate decision to confer the Freedom of the Borough. In addition, the ceremony itself must take place at a separate meeting specially convened for the purpose.
Criteria
2.3 Those who should be considered for the Freedom of the Borough:
(a) Nominations must show by example that the nominee is a “person of distinction and/or a person who has rendered eminent services to the Borough”.
(b) In keeping with the special nature of the award conferment should be strictly limited to those who have made a very significant contribution to the locality, noting that the Council already has an annual Civic Awards ceremony which particularly sets out to award those who have made an important contribution to the community especially in a voluntary capacity.
(c) Serving Councillors should not be considered as there is a separate statutory provision for conferring the title of ‘honorary alderman’ on former councillors.
(d) Consideration as to whether to exclude organisations or not is required. Some Councils specifically exclude organisations for such an honour. Other Councils frequently award organisations such as a successful local sporting team, forces units, rescue services etc.
3. Comments from Executive Director of Finance and Resources
The Council has powers under Section 249(6) to spend a reasonable sum as thought fit for the purpose of presenting an address or casket. The approximate costs including a scroll, gift and a reception would be £3,000 for each conferment. Such expenditure can be absorbed in Democratic Services/ Electoral Services budgets provided that the conferment of Freedom of the Borough remains an infrequent and special event.
4. Comments from Director of Legal and Democratic Services
4.1 Section 249 of the Local Government Act 1972 provides, inter alia:
(5) The council of a London borough ... may, by a resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of the members voting thereon at a meeting of the council specifically convened for the purpose with notice of the object, admit to be honorary freemen of the borough persons of distinction and persons who have, in the opinion of the council, rendered eminent services to the borough. ...
(6) The council of a London borough ... may spend such reasonable sum as they think fit for the purpose of presenting an address or a casket containing an address to a person upon whom they have admitted to be an honorary freeman of the ...borough.”
Page 49
4.2 By virtue of Schedule 1 to the Local Authorities (Functions and Responsibilities) (England) Regulations 2000, the Council’s functions relating to the admission of a person to be an honorary freeman of the borough cannot be discharged by the Cabinet.
5. Results of consultation
5.1 It was proposed by the Corporate Committee at its meeting on 27 th June 2006 that the criteria for consideration of nominations for the award of Freedom of the Borough should be consulted on more widely prior to reconsidering the matter at the Corporate Committee in November 2006.
5.2 The following were written to and views sought:
3 local MPs: Keith Hill, Kate Hoey and Tessa Jowell
GLA member for Lambeth and Southwark: Val Shawcross
5 Town Centre Managers
5 Area Committees
Director, Lambeth Voluntary Action Council
5.3 No comments were received.
5.4 Other London Councils were also contacted and their experience of this issue taken into consideration when preparing the report.
6. Organisational implications
6.1 Risk management: None.
6.2 Equalities impact assessment: No equalities impact assessment has been carried out. As this honour is only expected to be conferred in very rare instances equalities legislation is not relevant.
6.3 Community safety implications: None.
6.4 Environmental implications: None.
6.5 Staffing and accommodation implications: None .
6.6 Any other implications: None.
Page 50
7. Timetable for implementation
22 Nov 2006 Council meeting: Change to Council’s Constitution to extend the Corporate Committee’s terms of reference to allow them to make recommendations to Council with respect to awarding the Freedom of the Borough.
Implement in full as and when appropriate. ______

Part 6 – Members’ Allowances Scheme
Index linking
Payments of basic allowance and special responsibility allowance shall be uplifted from 1 st April each year in line with the annual local government pay award. This inflation index will apply until May 2010 unless subsequently advised otherwise by an Independent Panel. Where the only change to the Scheme in any year is that effected by such an annual adjustment in accordance with this index, the scheme shall be deemed not to have been amended. The new uprated allowance rates will apply without further Council approval.
Basic Allowance
Each year a basic allowance of £9,964 will be paid to each councillor. The allowance is intended to cover costs such as:

Part 6 - Members Allowance Scheme 3 Page 54
• A meeting which has both been authorised by the authority, a committee or sub-committee of the authority or a joint committee of the authority and one or more other authorities, or a sub-committee of a joint committee and to which representatives of more than one political group have been invited (if the authority is divided into several political groups) or to which two or more councillors have been invited (if the authority is not divided into political groups) • A meeting of a local authority association of which the authority is a member • Duties undertaken on behalf of the authority in pursuance of any standing order made under section 135 of the Local Government Act 1972 requiring a member or members to be present while tender documents are opened • Duties undertaken on behalf of the authority in connection with the discharge of any function of the authority conferred by or under any enactment and empowering or requiring the authority to inspect or authorise the inspection of premises • Duties undertaken on behalf of the authority in connection with arrangements made by the authority for the attendance of pupils at a school approved for the purposes of section 342 of the Education Act 1996. • A meeting of an Area Housing Forum. • Attendance at Ward Surgeries.
The carer must be registered with the local authority or via a recognised professional organisation (councillors should notify officers in advance when wanting to use a professional organisation other than the local authority to source a carer, and CYPS will confirm whether this organisation is acceptable; 5 working days notice is required. The carer must not be a member of the Councillor’s family. The maximum reimbursement will be calculated on the basis of the duration of the qualifying duty plus two hours travelling time. The amount claimed must not exceed the amount actually paid to the care provider. Claims for carer must be submitted on the appropriate claim form, and accompanied by receipts. The care provider will be required to account for any tax liability arising.
Travel and subsistence expenses
Councillors
No expenses are payable for travel or subsistence incurred within London. Where this position causes a Member difficulty, this should be discussed with the group whip. Travel and subsistence costs outside London (but within the U.K.) will be paid, subject to them meeting the following criteria (and being submitted on the appropriate claim form):
• Meetings of any body formally constituted by the Council, whether independently or jointly with another authority. • Attendance as the Council's formally appointed representative to an outside organisation.
Part 6 - Members Allowance Scheme 4 Page 55
• Meetings involving Council Officers in connection with the council's legitimate functions. • Attendance, on behalf of the council, at conferences and meetings, provided that they are not held for commercial or political purposes.
Co-opted members (non-councillors) and Education Appeal Panel members
Non-councillors serving on the Pension Fund Investment Panel and Education Appeals Panels may submit claims for travel or subsistence as set out below.
The following duties will be reimbursed in accordance with the old ODPM rates (or standards class rail fare and/or underground):
• Attendance at any Panel etc on which they serve. • Attendance at any training session or interview they are required by the Council to attend.
Rates
The standard class rail fare (or any available cheap fares) may be claimed and the Council encourages the use of public transport. Where car and motorbike expenses may be claimed these may be reimbursed at these rates (rates will be updated in accordance with Government advice):
Motorbike: Casual Users 8.5p
Car: Casual Users 34.6p
Public transport and subsistence expenses will only be paid where evidence is provided in the form of receipts, bus, tube or train tickets or day travel cards or receipted Oyster cards (see note below). Note that cost of season tickets (weekly, monthly or annual) will normally not be refundable by the Council as these are primarily purchased for and are available for private use.
Note : Reimbursement relating to Oyster cards (Pay-as-you-go) applies only to Pre-paid Oyster cards whereby Councillors are able to obtain receipts that clearly indicate their journey for Lambeth business purposes, typically work to work journeys. Print-outs can be obtained from Underground Station. Note further that Weekly or Monthly Oyster cards, like Travel cards or Season tickets are available for private use and are therefore regarded by HMRC as taxable benefits, if costs are reimbursed. Costs of these would not normally be reimbursed by the Council.
Pensions
All councillors under 75 may join the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS). Pensions are payable in respect of both basic allowance and special responsibility allowance. Detailed advice is set out in the separate Guidance Note for Members, and further detailed advice is set out in a handbook “A Guide to the Local Government Pension Scheme for Eligible
Part 6 - Members Allowance Scheme 5 Page 56
Councillors in England”. Elected Members should take independent professional financial advice on their personal decision to join the LGPS scheme. They should check their eligibility to transfer to the LGPS if they already have a pension provider. Members should also seek advice on their financial position and eligibility if they have been receiving a stakeholder pension. Pension contributions will be deducted from the payroll, and contact details for further information are set out below.
Renunciation
A councillor may by notice in writing given to the Director of Legal and Democratic Services elect to forego any part of their entitlement to an allowance under this scheme.
Withholding of Allowances
Council (15.12.03) agreed that both the basic and SRA allowances be withheld where a member is subject to total suspension and any SRA for partial suspension, and to require the repayment of any allowances which have been paid in respect of a period during which a member has been suspended.
Education Appeals Panel members (non-councillors): Financial Loss Allowance
A Financial Loss Allowance will be payable to Education Appeals Panel members as follows:
(a) for a period not exceeding 4 hours - £27.65 (b) for a period between 4 and 24 hours - £55.31 (c) the aggregate of £55.31 and such amount in (a) or (b) as is appropriate to the number of hours which the period exceeds 24 hours
Financial Loss allowance is a financial loss payment in recognition of additional expenditure necessarily incurred by the panel member in carrying out approved duties. HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) accepts that Financial loss payment does not constitute emoluments from the office and will therefore not be subject to tax or NIC deduction at source. It may however be taxable on members who are self-employed. Recipients must declare it as income on any tax return. Those who are self-employed should treat it as schedule D income. Financial Loss Allowance claims must be submitted by the non-councillor concerned on the relevant claim form and this must be accompanied by written proof from their employer of the financial loss incurred.
Time limit for claims
Part 6 - Members Allowance Scheme 6 Page 57
In accordance with the Council’s standard arrangements, all claims for dependent care allowance, travel or subsistence expenses, or financial loss allowance, must be made within six months of the expenditure being incurred.
Publication of scheme
The Council is required to publish the following in the press and on the website: • The findings of the London Councils Independent Panel on Member Allowances. • The annual allowances scheme. • The actual payments made to each Member each year.
Records of payments to Members covered by this note are open to public inspection.

Appendix 2
London Borough of Lambeth Members Allowance Scheme: additional guidance note for Councillors and co-opted members
Allowances are paid directly into the Members' bank accounts by Lambeth Payroll Services on a monthly basis.
National Insurance Contributions
The basic, telephone, special responsibility, travel, and subsistence allowances are treated as taxable emoluments and will be subject to deduction of Class 1 National Insurance Contributions (NIC) to the extent that they fall within the statutory range of earnings levels. Dependant Care Allowance is not subject to NIC provided it is wholly, exclusively and necessary to the performance of the duties of being a councillor.
Contributions will be assessed on the basis of a monthly earning period and at the current Non-contracted–out Class 1 rate. However, if Councillors join the Pension Scheme then contributions will be assessed at the Contracted out rate.
Each month's allowance will be dealt with separately. i.e. contributions are not calculated on a cumulative basis as in the case of PAYE Income Tax. Thus, if a member’s allowances exceed the threshold in one month, but fall below it in the next month, she/he will pay contributions on the whole amount for the first month and none for the second and vice versa.
In order that Members' contributions may be properly allocated to their credit by the Department of Works and Pensions (DWP) it may be necessary for the appropriate officer to request details of their National Insurance numbers.
Certain married women and widows who have made the appropriate arrangements with the DWP may be liable only to reduced rate National Insurance contributions. In both the above cases the Member concerned should lodge with the appropriate officer an exemption certificate obtained from their local DWP office (form CA72) when the first claim is submitted or when status changes.
Other employment undertaken by a Member will not be relevant in terms of National Insurance, because each employment is dealt with separately for National Insurance Contributions. The amounts contributed through one employment does not effect those payable through another.
If contributions from all employments exceed the current annual maximum contributions, a refund of the excess will be made by the DWP. Anyone aware that their contributions from other employments already reach the statutory annual maximum may make arrangements for Members allowances to be exempted from NI by contacting their local DWP office.
If the Council supplies the telephone/ broadband, the line is used exclusively for Council business, and all invoices are submitted in the name of the Council, (not Councillor) there is no liability for NIC.
Income Tax
The Council is required to deduct Income Tax when making payments of basic, telephone, special responsibility or subsistence allowances. Such expenses may have to be declared on form P11D or P9D by the Council to the Inland Revenue. Dependent Care Allowance is not subject to tax provided it is wholly, exclusively and necessary to the performance of the duties of being a councillor.
Subsistence and Dependent Care Allowances are normally treated for tax purposes as earnings and are subject to Tax and National Insurance.
Page 60
Travel Expenses are not taxable as they are treated as out of pocket expenses provided the member is necessarily obliged to incur them in performing the duties of his/her office and are not for home to work travel costs.
Financial Loss Allowance is not taxable at source but must be declared on Schedule D returns by self-employed people.
A member may be entitled to relief from Income Tax on such part of his/her allowances as may be recognised by the Inspector of Taxes as necessary expenses of office e.g. postage, stationery, use of a room at home as an office etc. Anyone wishing to claim such relief should write to the Inspector of Taxes at the address given below.
Members who have no other employment may already be in possession of a P45 form, which they can pass to the appropriate officer. If not they should apply for allocation of a tax code which will enable their personal tax free allowance to be offset before deduction of tax. The Council holds stocks of the application form P46.
Form P46 is returnable to the Council and is of particular value to members without other employment, as it enables, in appropriate cases, a basic allowance to be operated immediately.
If the Council supplies the telephone/ broadband, the line is used exclusively for Council business, and all invoices are submitted in the name of the Council (not Councillor), there is no tax liability.
State Benefits
Receipt of basic, telephone, special responsibility, travel and subsistence allowances can reduce entitlement to Unemployment and some other State Benefits. Dependent care allowance may attract child care disregard, provided the rules set out above are complied with, as well as additional conditions such as the number of hours actually worked which determine whether a disregard can be applied, for example:
• a lone parent would need to be working 16 hours per week • a couple both working over 16 hours The number of hours must be evidenced in the form of contract of employment or payslips. The maximum weekly child care disregard is set at £175 for one child, or £300 for more than one. These costs must also be evidenced and can only be disregarded up to the amount actually paid.
Councillors are entitled to allowances, subject to satisfying the appropriate conditions, whether they are claimed or not. If a claimant has not been paid an allowance when payment could be expected, for example, when this has been renounced, Housing Benefit assessment should consider taking an amount into account as notional income. This may reduce a member’s entitlement to benefit as this is treated as part of their overall income whether the amount is actually received.
The impact of the receipt of benefits is very much dependent upon an individuals total income and capital, number of members within the household, receipt of other benefits, rent and council tax liability. Those adversely affected should discuss their optimum strategy with the Benefits Office.
Statutory Sick Pay and leave
Those allowances that are subject to National Insurance contributions give entitlement to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP).
Generally, a Member whose Allowances for the preceding eight weeks exceed the threshold level for National Insurance contributions for that period will become entitled to receive SSP in
Page 61
respect of any sickness which prevents him/her from carrying out Member's duties for four or more days.
Members with other employment may find themselves entitled to SSP both from the Council and their main employer. However, dual entitlement might lead to delay of transfer to State Sickness Benefits available to Members apart from these provisions.
There are no sick fund benefits available to members apart from these provisions.
Maternity and paternity leave
There is no provision for maternity and paternity leave.
Insurance
The insurance policies arranged by the council extend to include the work carried out by members in connection with the council. This includes indemnity to members for claims made against them (liability) in connection their work for the council. For the purposes of employers liability insurance, members are classed as employee's of the council whilst working for or in connection with the council.
Any equipment that is owned by the council and provided to members for their use will be insured by the council under its insurance policies. Personal items owned by members will remain the responsibility of members to insure.
Members working from home on behalf of the council should ensure that their home insurers are notified of that fact. Members using their own private vehicle for council business should also ensure that they have the appropriate business use cover if required by their insurer.

The Remuneration of Councillors in London : 2003 Review
A report by the Independent Panel to the Association of London Government
Summer 2003
Professor Malcolm Grant Bridget Rosewell Rodney Brooke
13/11/2006 1 Page 64
Preface
This is a report from the Independent Panel appointed by the Association of London Government (ALG). We were originally appointed in 1998. Our first report was published in February 1999. It recommended to the London councils (the 32 borough councils and the City Corporation) that the time had come for them to make fundamental changes in the way they compensated councillors for their time and work. A second report from the Panel in the same year reviewed other related issues, including pensions and childcare allowances. A third report in 2001 revisited all these issues in light of the major changes that occurred since 1999 in London local government. New rules had come into force concerning councillors’ allowances, and the Government had issued fresh guidance. Councils were in the process of introducing completely new structures for their internal political management, and this was having a major impact on the London boroughs.
Our report of February 1999 recommended a wholly new approach to allowances. It proposed that councillors should no longer be paid primarily by the time they spent on committees. It recommended that the old attendance allowance should be scrapped. Councillors should instead be paid a reasonable annual allowance at a standard-rate which properly reflected the levels of time and responsibility that their office entailed. That approach is now confirmed by law. The law also now requires councils to establish independent panels before reviewing levels of councillors’ allowances in their areas. It makes special provision for London by allowing for the continuance of the ALG’s single Independent Panel for all London boroughs. Our report of Summer 2001 reviewed the recommendations of the 1999 report in light of experience in London and proposed several enhancements and amendments.
This new report assesses what has happened in London in light of our earlier reports and asks what further changes are now needed. It also considers some new questions, in light of the changes in national legislation that allow pensions to be paid to councillors, and make new requirements of allowances schemes.
We remain convinced that realistic and reasonable allowances should form an integral part of modern local government. Proper allowances can help enhance the status of councillors and encourage a new generation of citizens to stand for election as councillors and serve their communities in this way. We do not want to encourage the emergence of a new corps of full- time councillors. A few senior councillors in every London council will need to devote a large part or all of their working time to council business. But they will be the exception. Councillors in general will continue to bring to their council responsibilities their continuing experience in other employment and other roles.
The schemes for allowances must therefore reflect three general principles: that being a councillor is for most people a part-time commitment, often undertaken by people who are already very busy in other roles; that councillors are not, and should not be, inspired to do this job by the attraction of financial reward, but primarily by a commitment to the principle of voluntary public service; and that, subject to those principles, the community should ensure that those who do serve them in this way are properly compensated.

Executive summary
This report is required by law to address the questions set out in italics below. Our recommendations are in bold type.
(a) as to the responsibilities or duties in respect of which the following should be available -
(i) special responsibility allowance;
(ii) travelling and subsistence allowance; and
(iii) co-optees’ allowance;
We recommend that :
(1) special responsibility allowances should continue to be paid in respect of the responsibilities recommended in our last report;
(2) the basic allowance should be treated as covering all intra-Borough travel costs and subsistence, but with local variations to this rule to meet different local conditions;
(3) the annual allowance for co-optees should be calculated in each case with reference to the number of meetings per year, at a standard rate per meeting
(b) as to the amount of such allowances and as to the amount of basic allowance;
(4) special responsibility allowances should continue to be paid on the basis of the bands and the ranges of allowance within each band, recommended by us in our last report, uprated for subsequent increases in the cost of living by reference to the appropriate index proposed below;
(5) where travel and subsistence allowances are payable, having regard to Recommendation (2) above, they should be in accordance with the current scheme for travel and subsistence applicable to the Borough’s officers;
(6) travel allowances should extend to travel by bicycle;
(7) the standard rate of allowance for statutory co-optees should be £100 per meeting, translated into an annual allowance by multiplying by the anticipated number of meetings;
(8) co-optees should be reimbursed for all travel costs in accordance with Recommendation (5) above, whether the travel is within or outside the Borough, but co-optees should not be paid subsistence;
(9) the amount of the basic allowance should remain as recommended in our last Report as £8,500, but uprated for subsequent increases in the cost of living by reference to the appropriate index proposed below;
13/11/2006 5 Page 68
(c) as to whether dependants’ carers’ allowance should be payable to members of an authority, and as to the amount of such an allowance;
(10) dependants’ carers’ allowances should be payable, and we recommend a flexible approach;
(11) in particular, boroughs should have regard, when setting appropriate levels, to their local social service departments’ levels of reimbursement. We restate the principles in our last report, that:
(a) a maximum rate should be set locally to reflect local costs, in accordance with social service departments levels; (b) payments should be subject to a maximum weekly payment of £30, equivalent to seven-and-a-half hours of care per week; (c) payment should be claimable in respect of children aged 15 or under or in respect of other dependants where there is medical or social work evidence that care is required; (d) only one weekly payment should be claimable in respect of the household of each member, except in special circumstances to be judged by the Council’s Standards Committee; (e) the allowance should be paid as a reimbursement of incurred expenditure against receipts; (f) the allowance should not be payable to a member of the claimant’s own household; (g) any dispute as to entitlement and any allegation of abuse should be referred to the Council’s Standards Committee for adjudication; and (h) the scheme should be reviewed after not more than twelve months’ operation.
(d) as to whether, in the event that the scheme is amended at any time so as to affect an allowance payable for the year in which the amendment is made, payment of allowances may be backdated in accordance with regulation 10(6);
(12) schemes should make appropriate provision to ensure that, where an amendment to the scheme results in an increase in any allowance, payment of it may, if the resolution effecting the amendment so provides, be backdated for a specified period, not extending beyond the beginning of the year to which the scheme applies.
(e) as to whether adjustments to the level of allowances may be determined according to an index and if so which index and how long that index should apply, subject to a maximum of four years, before its application is reviewed;
(13) schemes should provide for all allowances to be automatically uprated annually with reference to the annual Local Government Pay Settlement;
6 Page 69 Remuneration of Councillors in London 2003 Review – Report of Independent Panel
(14) the LGPS index should apply for the next four years unless reviewed earlier by the Panel;
(f) as to which members of an authority are to be entitled to pensions in accordance with a scheme made under section 7 of the Superannuation Act 1972; and
(15) all Members under the age of 70 should in principle be entitled to apply for inclusion in a pensions scheme, without satisfying any period of qualification;
(g) as to treating basic allowance or special responsibility allowance, or both, as amounts in respect of which such pensions are payable in accordance with a scheme made under section 7 of the Superannuation Act 1972.
(16) both the basic allowance and any special responsibility allowance should be pensionable.
Other matters:
(17) Quasi-judicial work: the Panel sees no reason to alter the recommendations it made in its 2001 report in relation to quasi-judicial work, such as adoption panels, licensing and development control committees. Councils should consider setting up a panel of non-executive members to sit on such bodies and make provision for payment of a special allowance to all members of that panel.
(18) Accountability: the current system of Members’ remuneration allowances, with its principle of annualised allowances rather than attendance allowances, places a high premium on trust. We therefore regard accountability for this use of public money as being of the highest importance. We welcome the new provisions in the regulations which require boroughs to keep a record of all payments made under their schemes of allowances, and for these records to be available for inspection upon request. We further welcome the requirement for a full report to be made at the end of the year, of the total sum paid by a Borough in the year under the scheme to each recipient in respect of each of the following: (a) basic allowance; (b) special responsibility allowance; (c) dependants’ carers’ allowance; (d) travelling and subsistence allowance; and (e) co-optees’ allowance. We recommend that Members themselves should go further. We have advised in our previous reports on the drafting of job descriptions, and we expect them to be used as the basis for reporting by members on their activities on behalf of their electors and their boroughs. Councillors should see making such reports as a way of broadcasting the extensive range of tasks and duties which they undertake on behalf of the electorate. We would like them to give an account of what services they have provided to their constituents; what their objectives have been; and their success in achieving them; as well as some record of their general industry.
(19) Withholding allowances: We recommend that boroughs should include in their Allowances Scheme provision for their Standards Committee to withdraw
13/11/2006 7 Page 70
allowances in whole or in part in the event of a member being suspended or partially suspended. All allowances should be withheld for the period of total suspension, and in the case of partial suspension the basic allowance should continue to be paid (though we would expect a member voluntarily to abate their claim according to the extent to which they were able to continue to perform the functions of a non-executive member), and to the extent that the partial suspension made it impossible or impracticable for a member to undertake activities in respect of which an special responsibility allowance was payable, that allowance should be withdrawn. It is likely that this would occur in any event, because of the need to appoint another member to undertake the functions concerned, who then become entitled to the allowance.
(20) Electing to forgo allowances: we recommend in accordance with reg 13 of the regulations that allowances schemes should provide that a person may by notice in writing given to the proper officer of the authority, elect to forgo his entitlement or any part of his entitlement to allowances.
(21) Time limit for claims and payments: we recommend, in accordance with reg 14 of the regulations, that schemes of allowances should impose a time of limit of six months for the making of claims for payment of: (a) dependants’ carers’ allowance; (b) travelling and subsistence allowance; and (c) co-optees’ allowance.

The Association of London Government first appointed the Independent Panel in December 1998, to undertake a comprehensive review of the remuneration of councillors throughout London. In February 1999 the Panel published the first of two reports. It recommended that attendance allowances should be replaced by fixed annual payments made up of a basic allowance, with additional payments for special responsibilities. The second report, published in November that year, looked in closer detail at the legal framework for allowances.
The Local Government Act 2000 introduced major changes to the internal political management of local government, including London councils. The Act also changed the way in which councils could set the allowances to be paid to councillors. Attendance allowances, which paid people according to their attendance at meetings and other council activities, were abolished in favour of annual allowances.
A requirement was also introduced that councils should set up independent panels, and take account of their advice, before changing their allowances schemes. Special arrangements were made for London. The ALG was authorised to establish an independent panel serving all London councils. In July 2001 the ALG decided to appoint the members of its existing informal panel as its new statutory Independent Panel. On the recommendation of the Panel, in order to ensure that future appointments to the Panel were staged, it appointed Professor Malcolm Grant as the chair for three years, and to appoint as members Rodney Brooke for four years and Bridget Rosewell for five years.

2. Introduction
Experience in London with allowances Our consultations with the London councils in the course of this review have established that the recommendations made in our successive reports have helped streamline and modernise local remuneration schemes and have proved influential in the movement away from attendance allowances towards a more rational system that recognises and pays councillors for the work they actually do and the responsibilities they bear on behalf of their communities.
The average allowances in London are set out in Table 1 below, alongside those paid in other types of authority nationally. The Table shows that allowances across London are relatively closely aligned to those paid by the shire counties for the basic allowance, but the London average is higher for Leaders, for executive members and for chairs of scrutiny committees.

Figures are as at 13 January 2003
The figures are further broken down in Table 2, which shows actual allowances paid in 27 of the 32 London boroughs. We detect some significant changes remain over the past two years. There has been a steady uplift in the basic allowance across London. When we last reported, in 2001, we observed basic allowances ranging from just £515 in Newham (though with every councillor receiving also a special responsibility allowance), to £2,500 in Hillingdon and Merton and to £7,800 in Croydon. The range for council leaders went from £2,600 in Hounslow and £8,700 in Enfield, to £15,200 in Islington, £25,000 in Southwark and Lewisham, £30,000 in Hammersmith and Fulham and £32,000 in Lewisham.
The majority of London boroughs are now paying a basic allowance at the level recommended by the Panel in our last report, £8,500. No borough is paying more than this; and the lowest reported figures are £5,000 (Richmond upon Thames) and £5,150 (Merton).
The range of special responsibility allowances for Leaders is much wider. One borough has a directly elected Mayor, whose allowance is £65,000 (but not receiving a separate basic allowance); two others have allowances over £40,000 (Hillingdon and Havering). Five boroughs offer Leaders’ allowances below £20,000: Enfield (£8,742); Merton (£10,300); Richmond upon Thames (£14,000); Tower Hamlets (£14,750) and Harrow (£18,450).

The Greater London Authority The Greater London Authority is responsible for strategic citywide government for London and is made up of a directly elected Mayor—the Mayor of London—and a separately elected chamber, the London Assembly.
The Mayor’s post is full-time and the salary was initially decided by the Government on the recommendation of the Review Body on Senior Salaries. A further review was conducted by them in 2002. The salaries paid initially to the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Assembly Members, and subsequently following the 2002 review, are set out in Table 3. The post of Assembly Member is also regarded as full-time, although there is no legal restriction upon an Assembly Member undertaking other paid employment. The Review Body did, however, recommend a specific abatement of one-third of salary allowance in the case of any Member who was also a Member of the Westminster Parliament or the European Parliament or who was a salaried Office-holder in the House of Lords.

3. The New Regulations for Allowances
The legal provisions The legal framework for councillors’ allowances is established by the Local Government and Housing Act 1989, section 18. It establishes the general principles, and empowers the Secretary of State to make regulations governing the detail. This section was amended by the Local Government Act 2000, s.99. That section, and section 18 as amended, are set out in Appendix 1.
The main regulations have now changed. They are now the Local Authorities (Members’ Allowances) (England) Regulations 2003 No 1021, which have superseded the Local Authorities (Members’ Allowances) England Regulations 1991 (SI 1991 No 351) on which our last report was based. The new regulations are reproduced in Appendix 2.
The function of the Panel The new regulations (reg 21) spell out the duty of the Independent Panel, which is to produce a report for the London boroughs making recommendations:
(a) as to the responsibilities or duties in respect of which the following should be available -
(i) special responsibility allowance;
(ii) travelling and subsistence allowance; and
(iii) co-optees’ allowance;
(b) as to the amount of such allowances and as to the amount of basic allowance;
(c) as to whether dependants’ carers’ allowance should be payable to members of an authority, and as to the amount of such an allowance;
(d) as to whether, in the event that the scheme is amended at any time so as to affect an allowance payable for the year in which the amendment is made, payment of allowances may be backdated in accordance with regulation 10(6);
(e) as to whether adjustments to the level of allowances may be determined according to an index and if so which index and how long that index should apply, subject to a maximum of four years, before its application is reviewed;
(f) as to which members of an authority are to be entitled to pensions in accordance with a scheme made under section 7 of the Superannuation Act 1972; and
(g) as to treating basic allowance or special responsibility allowance, or both, as amounts in respect of which such pensions are payable in accordance with a scheme made under section 7 of the Superannuation Act 1972.
14 Page 77 Remuneration of Councillors in London 2003 Review – Report of Independent Panel
We are empowered to make different recommendations in relation to each of the authorities for which it exercises functions. We have not done so, partly because we do not have the detailed information of the circumstances of each Borough that would be needed to support such an approach, and partly because we believe it to be important to set general principles and limits, and to leave to the Boroughs themselves the adaptation of them to their own circumstances.
The Regulations also requires that there should not be more than one panel which makes recommendations in respect of an authority (reg 21(1)).
13/11/2006 15 Page 78
4. Specific issues
The principal questions that we posed for this review were the following:
(1) have the Panel’s recommended allowances satisfactorily accommodated the new structures for internal political management? (2) should there be any change in the level of basic allowance? (3) should there be any change in the structures and levels of special responsibility allowances? (4) which councillors and which allowances should be pensionable? (5) how should travel and subsistence issues be treated in an allowances scheme? (6) what allowances should be payable to independent and co-opted members? (7) other issues
We had a letter sent to all the Boroughs with a series of questions along these lines, and a request for any further information or issues they wished the Panel to consider. We had 22 responses.
(1) Fit with the new structures We asked the London boroughs:
“Has your council found the principles and recommendations of the Panel’s 2001 report to be broadly consistent with its new executive regimes?”
All answered yes. Several had adapted our recommendations to their local circumstances, and welcomed the broad bandings we proposed, and the flexibility they retained to allocate posts to particular bands.
(2) The basic allowance Every local authority is expected to have a basic, flat rate allowance which is payable to all members. The basic allowance recognises the time commitment of councillors, including meetings with council managers and constituents and attendance at political group meetings. It is also intended to cover incidental costs such as the use of councillors’ homes. It must be the same for each councillor and may be paid either as a lump sum or in instalments through the year.
We asked the London boroughs:
“Does your council believe the general level of allowances recommended by the Panel on that occasion to be about right, or would it wish the Panel to undertake a wholly fresh appraisal, noting that some independent panels elsewhere in England have recommended higher levels of non-executive allowances?”
No borough pressed for a complete review. The common theme of many responses was that they had set allowances, particularly special responsibility allowances, below the level we had recommended. This was on the grounds of perceived affordability rather than principle. The question of affordability is, of course, a matter wholly for each borough. Some asked for further information as to what allowances were being paid in other London boroughs, and
16 Page 79 Remuneration of Councillors in London 2003 Review – Report of Independent Panel this is therefore set out in Table 2, where the figures confirm the tendency to award SRAs generally towards the bottom of the ranges of allowance recommended by us.
We recommend no change to the basic allowance recommended in our last report, except for a cost of living uprating.
(3) Special responsibility allowances We received some comments about the structure we had recommended, including the number of bands and the overall proportion of members (50%) to whom we felt that SRAs should be limited. On this, we remain firmly of the view that there should be a clear limit. SRAs are, by definition, special. We stressed in our last report that higher level bands should be restricted to those posts where there are clear additional responsibilities and time commitments such as a cabinet member, with the very top bands limited to a full-time council leader, chair of scrutiny or directly elected mayor. We accepted in that Report that a cabinet model that involved a large number of cabinet members and/or scrutiny committees might require going beyond the one-third limit we proposed in 1999. Proper scrutiny requires strong opposition commitment. We therefore proposed that the upper limit should rise to 50 percent, while stressing again the importance of the general principle of limiting tightly, as a matter of good practice, the proportion of councillors entitled to SRAs.
If a borough finds this too restrictive, it should ask whether the basic allowance is at an appropriate level, and whether the responsibility the Borough wishes to recognise is not already adequately catered for by the basic allowance, or could be properly reflected by making an increase in the basic allowance.
Another representation asked whether there might not be different levels of allowance for full and part-time Members. On this, our view is that the allowance should reflect the role rather than the mode in which it is performed. We expect that the role of Leader or elected Mayor will, in most boroughs, be full-time, and the allowance takes that into account. Executive members may or may not be full-time, but if their roles are of comparable responsibility, we recommend that they should be remunerated at the same rate, irrespective of whether they are actually undertaken in part-time or full-time mode. Otherwise there would be an incentive to Members to shift from part-time to full-time service for the sake of an enhanced allowance.
We propose no change to the approach in our last report to special responsibility allowances.
(4) Uprating of allowances The regulations, picking up an approach which we proposed in our First Report in 1999, introduce power for an allowances scheme to include provision for automatic uprating, allowing allowances to keep up with changes in the cost of living without requiring a report from an Independent Panel. The regulations allow this to be done by reference to an index specified by scheme. The operation of the automatic uprating provision thereafter is deemed not to constitute an amended to the scheme. However, a borough may only rely upon the index for four years before seeking a further recommendation from the Panel (reg 10(4) and (5)).
We asked the London boroughs:
13/11/2006 17 Page 80
“The panel is considering using the provision in the guidance that allows an annual formula upgrade. It is considering using the Local Government Pay Settlement as its formula (currently 3½ %). Would you consider the use of a formula upgrade useful and do you think the use of the Local Government Pay Settlement appropriate?”
The responses were clear that our report should make such a recommendation, and the LGPS was the strongly favoured index. There are currently some differences in local practice: one borough has used a London non-manual workers rate from the New Earnings Survey; another has used the market movement agreed for staff on local management grades; another has used the average daily earnings for all occupations as calculated in Labour Market trends in January each year. Our preference is to adopt the LGPS as the appropriate index, because it treats Members on the same basis as employees.
We recommend that Schemes of Allowances should include an automatic uprating provision, and that this should be tied to the annual Local Government Pay Settlement as its index. Table 4 shows the allowances proposed in our 2001 report uprated in this way to April 2003.

(4) Pensions We are pleased that the Government has now agreed that pensions should, in principle, be payable to Members in respect of their allowances. This is an approach we recommended in our First Report in 1999. The new regulations now require that a borough’s Scheme of Allowances should set out:
“(a) which members of the authority are to be entitled to pensions in accordance with a scheme made under section 7 of the Superannuation Act 1972; and
(b) whether the basic allowance or the special responsibility allowance, or both, may be treated as amounts in respect of which such pensions are payable in accordance with a scheme made under section 7 of the Superannuation Act 1972.”
The Scheme may only include someone who has first been recommended by the Independent Remuneration Panel.
Our approach to eligibility was first set out in a response we submitted, as an Independent Panel, to the Government’s consultation on the issue in 2001. We said then:
“We detect a great deal of resentment in local government about separation of councillors into sheep and goats through the Cabinet system. An arbitrary approach to pensions entitlement is likely to exacerbate the ill-feeling.”
We believe that this is an important principle, and we started from the proposition that all Members under the age of 70 should be eligible for pensionability of their allowance, and that this should apply both to the basic allowance and to special responsibility allowances.
We asked the London boroughs:
The Government is introducing a power whereby councillors will be able to become part of the Local Government Pension Scheme. Would your council like to introduce such a scheme? If so to which categories of councillor do you think it should apply?
The majority of respondents reported that their boroughs had not yet formally considered the proposal, and awaited the Panel’s recommendations. Our view is that all Members should be eligible, and that there should not be any qualifying period of membership. As with our recommendations on allowances, the question of affordability is for the boroughs themselves to determine, not the Panel.
We recommend that Allowances Schemes should provide for allowances to be pensionable through the Local Government Pensions Scheme, and that all Members under the age of 70 should in principle be eligible to join the scheme, in respect of all allowances paid to them, and without reference to any qualifying period of service as a Member.
(5) Dependents’ carers’ allowances The new regulations set out the circumstances for these allowances. This is a discretionary allowance. It can only be paid if provision is made for it in the borough’s Scheme of Allowances. The regulations (reg 7) specify that such an allowance is payable in respect of
20 Page 83 Remuneration of Councillors in London 2003 Review – Report of Independent Panel such expenses of arranging for the care of their children or dependants as are necessarily incurred in –
(a) the attendance at a meeting of the authority or of any committee or sub-committee of the authority, or of any other body to which the authority makes appointments or nominations, or of any committee or sub-committee of such a body;
(b) the attendance at any other meeting, the holding of which is authorised by the authority, or a committee or sub-committee of the authority, or a joint committee of the authority and at least one other local authority within the meaning of section 270(1) of the Local Government Act 1972, or a sub-committee of such a joint committee, provided that -
(i) where the authority is divided into two or more political groups it is a meeting to which members of at least two such groups have been invited; or
(ii) if the authority is not so divided, it is a meeting to which at least two members of the authority have been invited;
(c) the attendance at a meeting of any association of authorities of which the authority is a member;
(d) the attendance at a meeting of the executive or a meeting of any of its committees, where the authority is operating executive arrangements;
(e) the performance of any duty in pursuance of any standing order made under section 135 of the Local Government Act 1972 requiring a member or members to be present while tender documents are opened;
(f) the performance of any duty in connection with the discharge of any function of the authority conferred by or under any enactment and empowering or requiring the authority to inspect or authorise the inspection of premises;
(g) the performance of any duty in connection with arrangements made by the authority for the attendance of pupils at any school approved for the purposes of section 342 of the Education Act 1996 (approval of non-maintained special schools); and
(h) the carrying out of any other duty approved by the authority, or any duty of a class so approved, for the purpose of, or in connection with, the discharge of the functions of the authority or any of its committees or sub-committees.
We said in our last report that, in principle, we believed that it was right that such allowances should be paid. They may make it possible for people to serve as councillors who would not otherwise be able to contribute of their time because of their other responsibilities. However, we believed that a cautious approach was advisable, especially if the council was paying a basic allowance at the levels we propose, because the basic allowance was intended to provide reasonable recompense for every councillor’s contribution. We also believed that London boroughs should take appropriate measures to safeguard against abuse of such a scheme, of which there has been evidence elsewhere. In particular, carers’ allowances should
13/11/2006 21 Page 84
not be payable in respect of care by a member of the claimant’s own household, nor should an allowance be claimable separately in respect more than one dependent, except in exceptional circumstances.
For this report, we asked the London boroughs:
Do you currently offer Childcare or Dependent Carers Allowances? The Panel is considering recommending a flexible approach whereby allowances reflect local social services departments’ levels for different circumstances, does your council agree with this approach?
Four boroughs said they did not pay such allowances, though one of them said they agreed with the Panel’s proposed approach. Our suggestion of a flexible approach reflecting local social services departments’ different levels found widespread acceptance. Some boroughs are using other measures at present: a flat rate based on the minimum wage; a flat rate of £6 per hour; a rate “based on historical factors” and then grossed-up for tax purposes so as not to leave the Member out of pocket. One borough provides childcare directly through its “early years” scheme.
We recommend a flexible approach to childcare and dependent carer’s allowances, but especially recommend that boroughs have regard, when setting appropriate levels, to their local social service departments’ levels of reimbursement. We restate the principles in our last report, that:
(a) a maximum rate should be set locally to reflect local costs, in accordance with social service departments levels; (b) payments should be subject to a maximum weekly payment of £30, equivalent to seven-and-a-half hours of care per week; (c) payment should be claimable in respect of children aged 15 or under or in respect of other dependants where there is medical or social work evidence that care is required; (d) only one weekly payment should be claimable in respect of the household of each member, except in special circumstances to be judged by the Council’s Standards Committee; (e) the allowance should be paid as a reimbursement of incurred expenditure against receipts; (f) the allowance should not be payable to a member of the claimant’s own household; (g) any dispute as to entitlement and any allegation of abuse should be referred to the Council’s Standards Committee for adjudication; and (h) the scheme should be reviewed after not more than twelve months’ operation.
22 Page 85 Remuneration of Councillors in London 2003 Review – Report of Independent Panel
(6) Travel and subsistence
We asked the London boroughs:
In its 2001 report the Panel stated that it considered that the basic allowance it was intended to cover all 'intra-Borough travel costs and subsistence.' It does, however, consider that the cost of travel to meetings transacted outside the Borough should be reimbursed. Does your Borough agree with these approaches?
This approach appears to have been adopted by most if not all boroughs, though with some variations on the basic theme. One borough allows Cabinet Members to claim for taxi fares in respect of their duties for events in different parts of the Borough; another allows travel and subsistence to be claimable for approved duties at venues other than the two town halls; another pays out-of-borough travel costs for approved duties; another pays all travel costs providing it’s more than three miles from the Member’s home; another has decided that the basic allowance should be regarded as covering all transport and subsistence costs within London. Only one borough thought that travel costs and subsistence should be allowed to be claimed separately and not lumped into the basic allowance.
Nothing in these responses persuades us to change our recommendation, which has won widespread acceptance, with sensible local variations. It is wasteful and time-consuming for councillors to make claims for small sums, and for councils to process them and pay them. If the regime seems too restrictive, the better approach may be to review the basic allowance.
The new regulations require us to provide advice on levels of travel and subsistence. We strongly recommend that the same rules and scales of claims should apply both to Members and to officers. This approach offers efficiency by providing a uniform model for the handling of claims, and it also conveys equal treatment of officers and members.
We recommend that the basic allowance should be treated as covering all intra-Borough travel costs and subsistence, but with local variations to this rule to meet different local conditions. We also recommend that the rules and entitlements for reimbursement of travel expenses, and for travel by bicycle, should be the same for officers, members and co-opted members.
(7) Co-opted members Co-opted members are those who are not elected members of the authority but who are invited to become members of committees, particularly in practice the Education Committee and the Standards Committee, for which statutory provision is made. It does not include members of the Independent Panel on Remuneration, whose expenses and allowances are determined by the council(s) concerned. The regulations require that, should an allowance be paid, it must be paid on an annualised basis. This is a difficult objective. In our opinion, the role of a co-opted member is different from that of an elected member, and it would have been more appropriate to have allowed for an attendance allowance in such cases. Our approach to calculation of an appropriate allowance therefore follows that line. We propose that boroughs should first adopt a standard sum per meeting, for which we suggest £100, and then multiply it by the anticipated meeting load for the year. The allowance would then cover not only attendance at the meetings of the committee concerned, and any related and incidental activity.
13/11/2006 23 Page 86
An exception to this approach arises in the case of a co-opted member entrusted with the task of presiding at a meeting of the overview and scrutiny committee for education, who must be paid an allowance equal to that of an elected member undertaking the equivalent function. This is a reference to the special responsibility allowance payable to such a member, but not extending to the basic allowance. It also raises the question of the co-opted member who is invited to perform this function on an occasional basis, and only in the absence of the person who normally presides. The relevant regulation provides:
(4) The amount of co-optees’ allowance payable to any member who presides at a meeting of an overview and scrutiny committee, where that committee’s functions under section 21 of the Local Government Act 2000 relate wholly or partly to any education functions which are the responsibility of the authority’s executive, shall not be less than the minimum amount of any special responsibility allowance payable under that authority’s scheme to a person who presides at meetings of any other [of the] authority’s committees or sub-committees.
The provision is poorly drafted. Although it refers to presiding “at a meeting”, such an additional allowance should in our view be paid only to those co-opted members for whom provision is made in statute and have been formally appointed to preside, on the same basis as those elected members presiding at other committees, because the SRA is intended to reflect the workload and responsibility of the office, not just the function of presiding at meetings.
We recommend that schemes of allowance should provide for allowances to be paid to co-opted members. The normal approach should be to set an annual allowance for such members based upon a sum of £100 per meeting, multiplied by the total number of meetings expected each year. Where a co-opted member has been appointed to preside as chair of an overview or scrutiny committee for education, that member must by law be paid a special responsibility allowance not less than the minimum SRA paid to an elected member undertaking the equivalent responsibility. Co-opted members should be entitled to reimbursement in full of their reasonable travel expenses.
(8) Other recommendations Quasi-judicial work: the Panel sees no reason to alter the recommendations it made in its 2001 report in relation to quasi-judicial work, such as adoption panels, licensing and development control committees. Councils should consider setting up a panel of non- executive members to sit on such bodies and make provision for payment of a special allowance to all members of that panel.
Accountability: the current system of Members’ remuneration allowances, with its principle of annualised allowances rather than attendance allowances, places a high premium on trust. We therefore regard accountability for this use of public money as being of the highest importance. We welcome the new provisions in the regulations which require boroughs to keep a record of all payments made under their schemes of allowances, and for these records to be available for inspection upon request. We further welcome the requirement for a full report to be made at the end of the year, of the total sum paid by a Borough in the year under the scheme to each recipient in respect of each of the following: (a) basic allowance; (b) special responsibility allowance; (c) dependants’ carers’ allowance; (d) travelling and subsistence allowance; and (e) co-
24 Page 87 Remuneration of Councillors in London 2003 Review – Report of Independent Panel optees’ allowance. We recommend that Members themselves should go further. We have advised in our previous reports on the drafting of job descriptions, and we expect them to be used as the basis for reporting by members on their activities on behalf of their electors and their boroughs. Councillors should see making such reports as a way of broadcasting the extensive range of tasks and duties which they undertake on behalf of the electorate. We would like them to give an account of what services they have provided to their constituents; what their objectives have been; and their success in achieving them; as well as some record of their general industry.
Withholding allowances: We recommend that boroughs should include in their Allowances Scheme provision for their Standards Committee to withdraw allowances in whole or in part in the event of a member being suspended or partially suspended. All allowances should be withheld for the period of total suspension, and in the case of partial suspension the basic allowance should continue to be paid (though we would expect a member voluntarily to abate their claim according to the extent to which they were able to continue to perform the functions of a non-executive member), and to the extent that the partial suspension made it impossible or impracticable for a member to undertake activities in respect of which an special responsibility allowance was payable, that allowance should be withdrawn. It is likely that this would occur in any event, because of the need to appoint another member to undertake the functions concerned, who then become entitled to the allowance.
Electing to forgo allowances: we recommend in accordance with reg 13 of the regulations that allowances schemes should provide that a person may by notice in writing given to the proper officer of the authority, elect to forgo his entitlement or any part of his entitlement to allowances.
Time limit for claims and payments: we recommend, in accordance with reg 14 of the regulations, that schemes of allowances should impose a time of limit of six months for the making of claims for payment of: (a) dependants’ carers’ allowance; (b) travelling and subsistence allowance; and (c) co-optees’ allowance.

Independent Panel on the Remuneration of Councillors in London
Report from the Independent Panel on the Remuneration of Councillors in London
We have completed our review of remuneration for councillors in London. We shall publish a fuller report as soon as possible. This will be a composite of these recommendations and our reports of 2001 and 2003.
We are well aware that members’ allowances can be contentious. But we are emphatic that the quality of local democracy depends on the ability of Councils to attract able people to serve as councillors. Excellent Councils have excellent members. Financial reward is not and should not be the main motivation for service as a councillor. But a reasonable remuneration can make it possible for a wider range of people to stand for election. In his interim report on local government, Sir Michael Lyons comments that councillors are generally underpaid for the vital work which they do. We entirely agree. We believe that councils have a duty to ensure that their scheme of allowances is realistic. We very much hope that London Councils will again endorse our recommendations. We urge that all London boroughs should adopt them.
The recommendations in our report are:
1. We believe that the scheme of allowances which the Panel recommended in 2001, updated for inflation, is still appropriate. At Annex A we set out the five Bands of responsibility with updated figures for the Basic Allowance and for the five Bands.
2. We believe that the roles which we identified as attaching to the Bands are still, in general terms, appropriate. The main changes affecting the role of councillors since our last report have been around representativeness, accountability and community leadership. We have addressed these in our recommendations. We are aware that new roles have been developed, e.g. in relation to Community leadership, leadership of a specific major project, and assistants to Cabinet members holding particularly demanding portfolios like Children’s Services. Such responsibilities can also provide development opportunities for the leaders of the future. We think that such roles should be identified as meriting an allowance in Band One.
3. With changes in local government structure and organisation, we accept that some Cabinet roles may be more demanding than others. Although it may be sensible for many Councils to remunerate Cabinet members at the same level, we believe that there is sufficient width in Page 112
Band Two to permit Councils to recognise different levels of responsibility within the Cabinet where this is appropriate.
4. In return for the levels of remuneration which we propose, it is important that councillors account publicly for their activities. This will enable the electorate to make an informed judgement on the performance of their elected representatives in liaising with their constituents and representing their interests within the council and, in the more senior roles, their leadership in addressing the borough’s issues. There are examples of good practice in this area and we will set them out in our fuller report.
5. Planning is an important responsibility of local government. Some London boroughs face planning issues of considerable complexity. In such cases, we believe that it is appropriate that the Chair of the Planning Committee should be rewarded at the higher level of Band Two.
6. We believe that allowances for co-opted members should be made only for those serving on the Standards Committee, for Education co-optees and for the independent chair of an Audit Committee. In our 2001 report we recommend an annual co-optees allowance based on the expected number of meetings at a rate of £100 per meeting. Updated, this figure now stands at £117. We recommend that the independent chair of the Standards Committee should receive a co-optees’ allowance on the same basis, but with a rate of £240 per meeting to reflect the greater responsibilities of this post.
7. We believe that the role descriptions in our 2001 report are generally still appropriate. We make two additions to our description of the basic role of councillors. One relates to undertaking necessary training and development and the other to being accountable and reporting on their actions. A revised job description for councillors is attached at Annex B. We believe that all Councils should adopt such a job description to make absolutely clear what is expected of a councillor.
8. We reiterate that not more than 50% of councillors should receive a Special Responsibility Allowance (SRA) and that only one SRA should be paid to a councillor in respect of duties with the same authority.
9. Although councillors are not employees, we believe that it is reasonable that their special responsibility allowances should not cease in case of sickness, maternity and paternity leave in the same way that employees enjoy such entitlements. We recommend that Councils Page 113
should be able to make arrangements in their schemes in appropriate circumstances to enable this to happen.
10. There is at present no provision in the legislation for resettlement payments to councillors. We consider that if recipients of SRAs in Bands Two, Three, Four and Five lose their seat at the polls they should be entitled to six months continued allowance to provide a cushion of time during which they can seek alternative employment. This will require legislative change, but we will make representation to Government to seek this change.
11. As stated in our letter of 26 July 2006, pension regulations have changed so that councillors are now eligible to join the LGPS before their 75 th birthday. We recommend that all councillors below the age of 75 should be allowed to join the LGPS
12. We continue to recommend that the allowances we recommend should be updated annually in accordance with the headline figure in the annual local government pay settlement. We appreciate that Regulation 10 Local Authorities (Members’ Allowances) (England) Regulations 2003 appears to require re-adoption of the scheme at the start of each municipal year; but if there is to be no change other than the annual update we recommend, then we believe that this can be achieved by a simple formal resolution.
13. We have considered carefully the possibility of introducing performance related pay for councillors. While this has its attractions, we are convinced that the practical difficulties are too great. However, we commend those Councils which have introduced performance appraisals for Councillors.
14. While we continue to believe intra borough travel should be part of the basic allowance, we recognise there are circumstances where it may be appropriate for a scheme to provide payment for the cost of transport e.g. journeys home after late meetings and for people with disabilities.

Appendix A
Special Responsibilities – Beyond the Basic Allowance
The case for special allowances
The reasons for payment of additional special responsibility allowances should be clearly set out in local allowances schemes. Special allowances should come into play only in positions where there are significant differences in the time requirements and levels of responsibility from those generally expected of a councillor.
Categories of special allowances
The regulations specify the following categories of responsibility for which special responsibility allowances may be paid:
Members of the executive where the authority is operating executive arrangements Acting as leader or deputy leader of a political group within the authority Presiding at meetings of a committee or sub-committee of the authority, or a joint committee of the authority and one or more other authorities, or a sub-committee of such a joint committee Representing the authority at meetings of, or arranged by, any other body Membership of a committee or sub-committee of the authority which meets with exceptional frequency or for exceptionally long periods Acting as spokesperson of a political group on a committee or sub-committee of the authority Membership of an adoption panel Membership a licensing or regulatory committee Such other activities in relation to the discharge of the authority’s functions as require of the member an amount of time and effort equal to or greater than would be required of him by any one of the activities mentioned above whether or not that activity is specified in the scheme.
Local discretion
It is for the councils locally to decide how to allocate their councillors between the different bands having regard to our recommendations. They must have regard to our recommendations. We believe these should have the merits of being easy to apply, easy to adapt, easy to explain and understand, and easy to administer.
Band One
The posts we envisage falling within Band One include:
Vice-Chair of a Service, Regulatory or Scrutiny Committee Chair of Sub-Committee Leader of Second or Smaller Opposition Group Service Spokesperson for First Opposition Group Group Secretary (or equivalent) of Majority Group First Opposition Group Whip Vice Chair of council business Chairs and Vice Chairs of Area Committees or Area Forums Cabinet Assistant Leadership of a strategic major topic
Page 115
Remuneration
We propose that Band One special responsibility allowances should be on a sliding scale of between 20%-30% of the remuneration package for a council leader
This would be made up as follows:
Basic Allowance: £9,964 Band 1 Allowance: £2,227 to £8,323 Total: £12,191 to £18,267
Band Two
The types of office we contemplate being within Band Two are:
Lead member in scrutiny arrangements, perhaps a Chair of a Scrutiny Committee Representative on key outside body Chair of major regulatory committee e.g. planning Chair of council business Leader of principal opposition group.
Remuneration
We propose that Band Two allowances should be on a sliding scare between 40%60% pro rata of the remuneration package for a council leader.
This is made up as follows:
Basic Allowance £9,964 Band 2 allowances: £14,418 to £26,609 Total: £24,382 to £36,573
Band Three
We see this band as appropriate to the following posts:
Cabinet Member Chair of the main overview or scrutiny committee Deputy Leader of the Council
Remuneration:
We propose that Band Three allowances should be between 70%-80% pro rata of the remuneration package for a council leader.
This is made up as follows:
Basic Allowance: £9,964 Band 3 Allowance: £32,705 to £38,801 Total: £42,669 to £48,765
Page 116
Band Four
Leader of Cabinet
This is a full-time job, involving a high level of responsibility. It is right that it should be remunerated on a basis which compares with similar positions in the public sector, whilst still retaining a reflection of the voluntary character of public service. The most appropriate measure is, in our view, that of a backbench MP. The functions of a full-time Leader of a London borough must be at least as onerous as those of an MP, and it would be quite wrong to expect that they could be remunerated at a lower rate, even excluding (as we do) the generous expenses package to which a backbench MP is entitled.
We propose that the remuneration package for a Council Leader under Band Four of our scheme should be £61,155.
This is made up as follows:
Basic Allowance: £9,964 Band 4 Allowance: £51,191 Total: £61,155
Band Five
Directly Elected Mayor
A Directly Elected Mayor is a major innovation in the political management of local government with the office holder taking on a new role and exercising executive responsibilities over a fixed electoral cycle. We believe this post is significantly different to that of the Council Leader with Cabinet model and that it is a full time job with an importance which should be reflected in the salary level.
We propose that a Band Five Directly Elected Mayor should receive a remuneration package of 25% higher than that recommended for a Council Leader and that it should be a salary set at £76,194.

LAMBETH PLANNING SERVICE
Stockwell Park High School, Clapham Road Development Brief - November 2006
Introduction/Context
1. It has been proposed that Stockwell Park School is rebuilt as part of the Building Schools for the Future Programme and has been included in the first phase of the programme. The purpose of this Development Brief is to provide guidance on the main planning policies and issues that need to be taken into account in drawing up the proposals for the submission of a planning application and to indicate the basis on which any planning application will be decided.
Background to the ‘Building Schools for the Future’ initiative
2. Building Schools for the Future (BSF) is a national initiative aimed at lifting educational attainment through a complete transformation of England’s secondary schools. This 10-15 year programme will see new schools built, and or existing schools upgraded to meet the needs of communities in the 21 st Century. Local Authorities working in partnership with the private sector and Government will undertake this investment in new and enhanced education facilities. The Lambeth BSF programme is to be delivered in two phases, within waves 2 and 4-6 of the BSF National Programme. The total funding granted in 2004 was £206m.
3. The education vision and strategy for the Borough has been endorsed by the Councils Executive (now Cabinet) and was submitted to the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) (via Partnership for Schools) for approval in July 2006. The Vision provides a coherent overall strategy in relation to raising educational standards, as well as addressing individual policy areas.
4. The Vision is based on four transformation themes: • Access - Expanding school places and increasing choice • Achievement - Excellence in learning, teaching and the curriculum • Inclusion - Meeting the needs of and having high expectations of all the children and young people • Community Links - Enhancing community links through a wide range of extended school and children’s services provision.
5. The Lambeth Business case for Phase 1 of the Lambeth programme was endorsed by the Council’s Cabinet in June 2006. The proposed phasing is based on assessments of current educational attainment records, condition of the existing building stock and potential community use on the site. The Phase 1 schools are: • Elm Court Special School • Pupil Referral Unit • Michael Tippet Special School • The Elmgreen School
Page 1 of 14 Page 126
• Stockwell Park High School.
6. The Education Vision and Phase 1 Business Case are available on the Council’s website at http://www.lambeth.gov.uk
7. The proposal to enlarge and rebuild the school is fully supported by the Schools Governing Body, the Council, Partnership for Schools, and Building Schools for the Future who consider that the proposals will enable the community and students to be better served and future aims met by:
• Creating world class learners with skills to meet the ever changing opportunities that working life brings. • Removing the obstacles to teaching and learning created by outdated buildings and create a business - learning environment for everyone to use and be proud of. • Creating a hub that serves the community for now and the future and an environment for everyone to achieve their potential. • Further developing the school as a Business and Enterprise College.
To meet this vision it is required that the replacement school should provide a secondary school for 1,315 pupils to meet the requirements of DfES guidelines Building Bulletin 98. The new school building should embrace the School’s specialism as a Business and Enterprise College to ensure that the new facilities enable the delivery of a more relevant and modern curriculum. Provision should be made for the development of post 16 provision that gives the potential to offer a range of A Level and Vocational Courses. The school should be designed to be totally inclusive and incorporate Special Educational Needs technology as well as basic accessibility measures i.e. audio visual communication, induction loops and the use of colour, contrast and tactile surfaces. The facilities should include a 15 place Autistic Spectrum Disorder Unit.
Site
7. The school is located in Stockwell Ward, it has a frontage onto Clapham Road (A3) a Transport for London (TfL) road linking Clapham with the Elephant and Castle. The main school is set back from its Clapham Road frontage of 60 metres comprising a large area of grass and mature trees, and in part behind commercial premises currently vacant, the remainder of the site is surrounded by housing. Part of the site is within Stockwell Park Conservation Area and the boundary of the conservation area runs along three of the school boundaries..There are a number of listed buildings in residential use, which adjoin or back on to the school site in Stockwell Park Crescent and Stockwell Park Road. On the west side of Clapham Road opposite the school is the South Lambeth Road Conservation Area with a number of listed buildings. Within the school site there are a number of buildings of varying heights. The main school building is located in the centre of the site and is 7 storeys high surrounded by hard surface play areas, grass and mature trees. To the rear of the site close to the properties in Stockwell Park Crescent there is a 2 storey technology block and a complex housing an indoor swimming pool, which has recently been refurbished and 2 gyms. There are 2 buildings within the conservation area, one being the school keepers house the other a single storey school building.
Page 2 of 14 Page 127
8. The site has an area of 2.5 hectares (6.2 acres).
9. There are 3 vehicular access points to the site: Clapham Road; Stockwell Park Road; and Stockwell Park Crescent. There is a separate pedestrian access from Clapham Road and this is the only pupil access. The Clapham Road vehicular access services the kitchens and staff parking. The Stockwell Park Road access provides access to a further staff car park. The Stockwell Park Crescent access is used for deliveries to the Technology block. It is a fire access, and until recently was used as a second pupil access. It has also been used by the community for access to the swimming pool.
Use
10. The school was built in the 1960s and originally had a capacity of about 1500 secondary age pupils, with a current role of 978. Part of the school had until recently been used by the City Learning Centre. Previously the majority of the site was Spurgeons Stockwell Orphanage built in 1867 and closed in 1953.
UDP Policy
11. The current up to date statement of the Councils’ planning policies is contained in the Revised Deposit UDP. The Council has now received the Inspector’s Report (17 th February 2006), considered his recommendations and approved Proposed Modifications, which have been placed on deposit from 20 th October-1st December 2006. These can be seen in the document London Borough of Lambeth Replacement Unitary Development Plan Incorporating Proposed Modifications October 2006. This is part of the final stage of procedures leading to adoption of the Replacement UDP and as such considerable weight may be attached to policies in the Replacement UDP, which the Inspector has supported.
However until the replacement UDP is adopted regard also needs to be made of the existing adopted UDP (1998)
12. The following are the main RDUDP policies that would apply to proposals for the development of the site with new education buildings:
• Policy 7 Protection of Residential Amenity • Policy 8 Accessible Development/Integrated Transport • Policy 9 Transport Impact • Policy 10 Walking and Cycling • Policy 14 Parking and Traffic Restraint • Policy 26 Community Facilities • Policy 31a Community Safety Designing Out Crime • Policy 32 Building Scale and Design • Policy 32a Renewable Energy in Major Development • Policy 32b Sustainable Design and Construction • Policy 36 Streetscape, Landscape and Public Realm Design • Policy 41 Listed Buildings
Page 3 of 14 Page 128
• Policy 43 Archaeology: Recording and Analysis of Buildings • Policy 42 Conservation Areas • Policy 46 Protection and Enhancement of the Natural Environment • Policy 48 Pollution, Public Health and Safety
A number of modifications have been proposed to the following:
13. : Policy 9 Transport Impact: the addition of “consideration of safe routes to school” to table 5 dealing with measures which might be secured to make development acceptable.
14. Policy 14 Parking and Traffic Restraint –Table 6 Maximum Parking Standards, Community Facilities parking outside the Central London assessed on a case by case basis
15. Policy 26 Community Facilities: - an addition to part C that “The Council will support the dual use of education facilities between the school and the community”. - new part (I) Proposals for new or improved education facilities will be permitted provided that the site or buildings are appropriate for their intended use, and that the nature and scale of the proposal, including hours of operation, do not unacceptably harm the amenities of the area through noise, disturbance, or traffic generation
16. Policy 32 Building Scale and Design - Amend part A to read “ All development should be of a high quality design and contribute positively to its surrounding area. (A) Infill development should be compatible with: 1) the site, context and historic development of the area; 2) existing topography, landscaping and boundary treatments; 3) prevailing building lines and plot sizes; 4) the height, massing and scale of neighbouring buildings; 5) roof profiles and silhouettes of adjoining buildings; 6) colour, type, source and texture of local materials; 7) architectural compositions including patterns and rhythms and set pieces of townscape; 8) established gaps and open spaces, views and skylines”.
Add the following definition to the Glossary “Infill - Infill development is the insertion of one or more new buildings within an existing townscape”.
Adopted UDP (1998) Policy
17. The main policy from the Adopted UDP (1998) that is relevant to any proposal for this site is ED4 New Education Premises or Extensions. This states: • “The Council will generally approve planning proposals for new build and conversions providing the following requirements are met: • (i) It is an appropriate site for education purposes • (ii) there is a shortage of education places in the Borough or within accessible distance
Page 4 of 14 Page 129
• (iii) internal and external space standards comply with the Education (School Premises) Regulations 1981 • (iv) the development will not have an adverse effect on the general amenity of the area nor be located where noise and traffic will disturb learning; • (v) the site is readily and safely accessible by public transport, bicycle and on foot.”
18. Other policies relevant to education use include • ED5 Landscaping and greening of education sites • ED6 Joint use of school facilities by the community • ED7 Pedestrian safety near schools • ED8 Provision of units for special needs in schools • T5 Highway alterations • T9 Provision of vehicular accesses • T17 Transport Implications of Development Proposals • T18 Access, loading and parking • CD2 Proposals for Development • CD13 Setting of Listed Buildings • CD14 Safeguarding Archaeological Remains • CD15 Design of New Development • RL 27 Use of school recreational facilities • ENV7 Protection of existing trees in new development • ENV 16 Environmental aspects of building design
Requirements for the Replacement School
19. Stockwell Secondary School is a mixed secondary school with a capacity of 900 and a school role of 978. There are 122 full time and 8 part time staff plus approximately 14 kitchen staff. Until recently the part of the school was used by the City Learning Centre providing adult education.
20. The school currently experiences a number of problems with the buildings in respect of suitability, condition and health and safety problems. The 7 storey block has a number of problems that cannot be addressed by internal modelling. The classrooms are of different sizes throughout the building, which limits flexibility A new build option has been considered most appropriate as it would fully address these problems and would give the school a greater degree of flexibility and allow the school to deliver its vision particularly with respect to the school organisation and specialism. The inclusion of a business school facility as part of the proposals would address the schools specialism and will be made available for community use. The school swimming pool has recently been refurbished and it is intended to retain this as a school and community facility. It is proposed that the new school would provide additional school places by increasing the pupil numbers to 1315 to include: 1200 11-16 places; 15 place Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Special Educational Needs (SEN) Unit; and a 100 place sixth form.
Development Issues
Page 5 of 14 Page 130
21. In drawing up proposals for the redevelopment of the school the following issues should be addressed:
• How to ensure that the design and layout of the proposed buildings will be acceptable in relation to the character and appearance of the adjacent Stockwell Park Conservation Area and South Lambeth Road Conservation Area. • How to ensure that the setting or views of the nearby listed buildings are not detrimentally affected. • How will the building line of the new school buildings relate to the adjoining properties in Clapham Road. • How to ensure that the physical impact of the new buildings would not have an unacceptable effect on the amenities of the surrounding residential properties. • How will the increase in pupils and staff on the site be managed to reduce the impact on the adjoining residents in terms of traffic, noise and disturbance. • What measures will be taken to reduce the transport impact resulting from increase in pupil numbers on adjoining roads in particular where vehicular /pedestrian access points are intensified. • How will sustainable transport be actively promoted. • How will the development respect the open setting of the site and maximise tree retention. • How to maximise opportunities for wider community use of new facilities without an unacceptable effect on adjoining residents.
Considerations
22. The issues and polices listed above should be considered in any proposals for the site together with the following:
Use of School and community use . Dual use of facilities for education/community use should be provided in line with RPUDP policy (Policy 26).
23. Consideration should be given to the joint use of any facilities by the school and how they would be managed and where possible should be located together so that they can be managed separately from the main school facilities. Where community use is proposed access should be designed to allow management of the school buildings outside school hours and to secure parts of the building that are not in use. Entrances for out of hours use should be well lit and consideration should be given to location in respect of safety and security for the users and impact on adjoining residents including traffic and parking. There will need to be restrictions on the hours of operation and the nature and range of activities taking place outside the “school day” in order to safeguard the amenity of the surrounding residential properties. (Policies 26, 31a)
Design, form and layout 24. Government Guidance on Delivering Sustainable Development (PPS1 – February 2005) emphasises that design that fails to take the opportunities available for improving the character and quality of an area should not be accepted. The Council‘s policies in the RDUDP promote high quality, well thought out building design and site layouts that define useable open spaces and contribute positively
Page 6 of 14 Page 131
to the surrounding area (Policy 32). In view of the size of the site there is a considerable opportunity to make a major contribution to the area and reflect the aspirations in delivering high quality educational provision. In addition, sustainable design and construction should be demonstrated as an integral part of the scheme, and not treated as an add-on.
25. The importance of these considerations in producing high quality design is emphasised by a report by CABE, published in July 2006. The report assessed the quality of 52 out of 124 secondary schools completed between January 2000 and September 2005, which were selected as a representative sample of schools being built. A major conclusion was that there are not enough schools being built or being designed that are exemplary, inspiring, innovative or flexibly designed to allow for a diversity of approaches to education in the future.
26. The scale of development should relate carefully to the scale of the surrounding conservation area and listed buildings and residential character and should not overwhelm them. (Policies 31,32,41 and 42) The new school should be designed to have a visible, attractive and welcoming presence onto Clapham Road whilst taking account of the key considerations below. Key considerations are: • Prevailing building lines and plot sizes, particularly along Clapham Road ( a varying or clearly stepped building line may be appropriate). • Proposals for the school should consider and be aware of development proposals for the adjoining site 187 – 191 Clapham Road • Existing topography and grain of the area. • Current heights and massing of neighbouring buildings. • Roof profiles, where these form a uniform feature and scale of the surrounding development. • Colour and type of materials to reflect the character and appearance of the conservation area particularly along Clapham Road. • Impact on skylines, particularly in views from within the conservation area, and impact on the setting of adjoining Listed buildings.
Height 27. A collection of school buildings of varying height up to 4 storeys along the Clapham Road and within the site could be appropriate. However, development proposals, would be subject to an assessment of the impact on the amenities of the existing residents adjacent to the site including: sunlight and daylight; overlooking; loss of privacy; creating an undue sense of enclosure; and outlook. (Policy 32)
Amenity 28. Outdoor facilities such as sports pitches should be located in a way so as to minimise noise and disturbance on the nearby residential properties. This should also take into account the impact on any exterior lighting on nearby residents in particular the location of floodlighting for sports pitches. (Policies 7 and 32)
Boundary Treatment 29. Boundary treatment needs to provide a secure environment whilst sympathetic to the adjoining residential properties. It may be appropriate that different treatments are used depending on location and how the area is used. Frontage boundaries and entrances should be designed as clear, legible markers to/from the school, whilst in keeping with the immediate context. (Policy 36)
Page 7 of 14 Page 132
Accessible Development 30. The Development should be designed to be accessible to the whole community and meet the needs of disabled people. Safe and convenient routes to the school should be developed. (Policies 8 and 9)
Access 31. The site lies in the Stockwell S Controlled Parking Zone. There are currently 2 vehicular access points to the site in regular use: Clapham Road; Stockwell Park Road; a third access from Stockwell Park Crescent is currently used for deliveries to the technology block and fire access; the main pedestrian access is from Clapham Road. The impact on residential amenity will need to be considered on any increased use of these accesses. The proposals should endeavour to reduce the reliance on the private car through parking restraint and active promotion of alternative means of transport. If an increase in off-street parking and /or vehicular movements to and from the site is likely to occur it will be necessary to undertake junction counts in the morning and evening peak, to enable an assessment to be made of the impact of the development on the surrounding junctions and highway safety. The relevant junctions will need to be agreed by Lambeth Transport Officers and Transport for London who are the Highway Authority for Clapham Road.
32. The redevelopment of the site will need to be accompanied by a Transport Assessment. This should reflect the scale of the development and the extent of the transport implications to the proposals. Transport for London, as the Highway Authority for Clapham Road, will also have their own transport requirements. This should include an assessment of all activities proposed to take place on the school site including dual community use and any other out of school hours uses. A school Travel Plan will be required with a draft document submitted with the planning application.
Servicing 33. Adequate access and servicing should be provided for the development as well appropriate refuse /recycling containment, litter control and waste disposal facilities and access to these. The school will have an important opportunity to contribute to promoting recycling and adequate provision for this should be made. There will be a need to meet the Council’s standards for refuse vehicles.
Parking 34. The site has an exceptional level of public transport accessibility (PTAL 6a). Currently about 80 staff cars park on site. In terms of parking standards, the site is categorised as community use. Policy 14 of the RDUDP standards sets a maximum of one car parking space for every 50 square metres of gross floor area. However, the Replacement UDP proposed modification includes that parking for community use is considered on a case by case basis. A minimum of 10% of the car parking spaces should be allocated as disabled spaces. Cycle parking must be under cover and provided at a minimum provision of one space for every 5 staff. Parking should be overlooked and located to minimise the impact on local residents, particularly parking used in conjunction with community use outside normal school hours. Whilst not included in the standards of Policy 14 the provision of motor cycle parking and pupil cycle parking should be included.
Page 8 of 14 Page 133
35. Parking areas and access roads should be located and defined in a way to minimise the opportunity for indiscriminate parking, minimise visual impact, noise and disturbance arising from vehicular movements through landscaping and other measures appropriate.
Trees, Open Space and Landscape 36. The site currently has an open character with buildings surrounded by hard surfaced play space, grass and mature trees. A tree survey has been carried out and identifies important trees within the site. On the Clapham Road frontage within the conservation area there are a number of particularly important trees that are visible from public views.
37. The layout of the buildings should endeavour to maintain this open and green character and be designed in such a way as to retain, protect and positively integrate the trees that are identified as having an important visual impact on the character of the conservation area and the site itself. The development should be designed to minimise the felling of trees on the site.
38. The landscaping scheme should be designed in such a way to reduce any impact of the development and outdoor activities on the adjoining residential properties. (Policies 36 and 46)
Sustainable Development 39. RUDP requires all major developments to incorporate equipment for renewable power generation so as to provide at least 10% of their predicted energy requirements. The future development of this site provides a significant opportunity to achieve the objectives of sustainable development and clearly demonstrate how this could be achieved as part of the educational context of the development. These should be designed into the scheme at an early stage. (Policy 32b)
40. Stockwell Park High School, Elmgreen, Michael Tippett, Elmcourt, (The Strand) and Park Campus are all part of the Council’s Phase 1 BSF Programme. It may s not be possible to include on – site provision for at least 10% energy generation from renewables on the Michael Tippett, Elmcourt and Park Campus schools. The BSF Programme has committed to compensate for this by aggregating this provision on the Stockwell Park High School and Elmgreen sites.
41. The proposals should : • incorporate provision for at least 10% of its own renewable energy needs as well as for compensatory aggregation for Michael Tippett, Elmcourt and Park Campus schools in conjunction with the proposasl for Elmgreen School and to ensure energy efficiency, and maximise passive solar gain (Policy 32a); • ensure that new buildings are designed to achieve at least BREEAM “very good” ratings. • Include measures to minimise the use of water and maximise use of grey water (Policy 48); • incorporate the use of recycled materials, specifying FSC or PEFC accredited timber with chain of custody, utilising environmental friendly specification and materials (Policy 32b);
Page 9 of 14 Page 134
• avoid negative micro-climatic effects (Policy 32b); and • make provision for the incorporation of adequate integrally designed facilities for the storage and recycling of waste (Policy 32b).
Note: An appropriate mechanism or agreement will be sought as part of the BSF development programme linking education sites to secure the proposed renewable energy provision across sites, as it would not be practical or realistic to enforce this via a S 106 Agreement as a result of the normal planning assessment on an individual site basis.
Community Safety 42. Preventing and reducing crime is one of the six key themes of the Council’s Community Strategy and is key to securing community safety. This is reflected in RUDP Policy 31a and requires that any development should show how “Secured by Design” measures have been addressed. Areas to consider should include the layout of the buildings to design out potential hiding places, siting of windows to provide natural surveillance, well lit footpaths and entrances particularly those used for community use as part of an urban design-led layout. (Policy 31a)
Archaeology 43. Part of the site fronting Clapham Road is within an Archaeological Priority Area. A desktop assessment should be carried out to ensure that any archaeological assets are identified and not damaged. (Policy 43) This should be done in liaison with English Heritage.
Other Considerations 44. It should be noted that part of the site fronting Clapham Road and part of the south-west corner of the site is within a Tunnel safeguarding area. London Underground will need to be consulted on any development within these safeguarding areas.
Construction Impacts and Phasing 45. To minimise disturbance to nearby residents from demolition and construction activities a construction method statement will be required as part of a planning application. Details should include access arrangements for construction/demolition traffic. A phasing plan will also be required setting out phasing of the construction, management of the school during the construction period including arrangements for vehicular and construction traffic.
Consultation 46 Local residents should be engaged at the design stage process to ensure that the negative effect of any development is reduced and measures included to minimise the impact can be included. Regular updates and a point of contact should be provided to keep local residents involved and informed of the process.
Planning Application Requirements
47. Planning applications for development in or adjoining conservation areas must be considered in relation to whether they preserve or enhance the character of the
Page 10 of 14 Page 135
conservation area. Similarly, development should not harm the setting of a listed building. These are fundamental tests in Government (PPG15) and UDP policy. Therefore planning applications must contain sufficient detail for this to be assessed otherwise they cannot be decided.
48. In view of the sensitivity of the location of this site, it would be necessary for a full planning application to be submitted so that the relevant issues that need to be, can be fully addressed. An outline application providing limited information would not be acceptable.
49. In addition to the planning application Conservation Area Consent for the demolition of the buildings in the conservation area would also need to applied for. Submitted drawings must include the full extent of demolition whether in full or in part. Applications made by Local Authorities need to be referred to GOL for decision. A submission justifying demolition in line with PPG15 should also be submitted.
50 Arrangements will need to ensure that the various requirements identified are secured through conditions or other appropriate means for the development arising from any planning application. The planning application should be accompanied by:
• Existing plans, elevations and sections.
• Detailed plans showing the exact location of buildings, their height and form as well as details of elevations and materials to be used. Drawings should show the relationship between the new buildings and the existing surrounding properties – particularly in a number of sections through the site. The disposition of activities in buildings should be shown in order to assess any noise and disturbance issues arising from the use of various buildings.
A Design and Access Statement including a townscape appraisal of the surrounding area and an assessment of the proposal in relation to the surrounding buildings and context. Three dimensional massing illustrations, sketches, street scene elevations and a material palette should all be included. The rationale of the development ‘s form and siting should also be explained. Community safety should be addressed. • Visual analysis of the impact of the new school on the conservation area and listed buildings, including photos and drawings.
• A Sustainability Statement, which demonstrates how energy conservation, sustainable design and construction considerations have been addressed in the proposals. • Statement on Refuse and Recycling.
• An assessment of the impact of the proposed buildings on the daylight, sunlight and outlook of surrounding buildings should be contained in the supporting statement.
• Daylight/sunlight impact assessment on adjacent residential properties, subject to the layout of the school site.
Page 11 of 14 Page 136
• Secured by Design Statement.
• An Access Statement (accessibility and provision for disabled people).
• A Constraints Plan (trees).
• A Transport Assessment. The coverage and detail of the Transport Assessment should reflect the scale of the development and the extent of the transport implications of the proposals. The Transport Assessment should include: junction counts; information on staff and pupil numbers; vehicle counts over the course of a typical weekday; origin and destination survey of pupils and staff currently at the school; access arrangements; drop off and pick up impacts ; on site turning facilities for service vehicles; public transport provision; details of community use should be included; information on accidents should be investigated. The TA should be prepared in accordance with the TfL Guidance and the content to be agreed by Lambeth Transport Officers and TfL. •
• A School Travel Plan to include an assessment of future catchment area, current levels of modal split, monitoring arrangements and means to enforce targets.
• A School Management Plan (to include details of hours of operation for the school and after hours use including use of the school buildings for community use, management of pupils – i.e. staggered opening, allowed off site for lunch breaks, use of off site facilities) If floodlighting or any lighting is proposed this should be shown on your drawings together details of light spillage for the floodlighting and proposed hours of use.
• The achievement of public transport/safety achievements
• Flood Risk Assessment
• Survey of flora, fauna and wildlife
• A Construction Method Statement
• A Phasing Plan
Note This list may need to be updated in the light of changing Government and other legislation.

Scheme of Delegation and Financial Regulations
95 Page 180
Introduction
The Constitution of the London Borough of Lambeth sets out how the Council operates, how decisions are made and the procedures followed to ensure that these decisions are efficient, transparent and accountable to local people. The Constitution is made up of 16 Articles with detailed procedures and codes of practice included in supporting rules and protocols.
The Council has a statutory duty under s151 of the Local Government Act 1972 to “make arrangements for the proper administration of (our) financial affairs and… secure that one of (our) officers has responsibility for the administration of those affairs.” Accordingly, the Scheme of Delegation Part 3, Section 4 Part A provides information and guidance to Council officers and others on the various levels of delegated authorities that are exercised by the Council in carrying out its statutory functions. They are to be read in conjunction with such other Council wide procedures and related documentation as may be necessary and particular attention should be made to any financial requirements that are mentioned.
The Scheme of Delegation consists of three distinct categories: (a) the Introduction; (b) the Corporate Scheme of Delegation, which applies to the Chief Executive and all Executive Directors; and (c) additional powers which have been delegated individually to the Chief Executive and each Executive Director.
Financial Regulations Part 3, Section 4 Part B form a fundamental part of the working of the Council and can be found following the Scheme of Delegation.

DELEGATION OF POWERS TO THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
Introduction 1. General Principles The Council is required under Section 100G of the Local Government Act 1972 and Section 15 of the Local Government Act 2000 to maintain its scheme of delegation for public inspection, and the scheme is maintained by the Directorate of Strategy and Corporate Services. Once approved by Council, the only amendments to the scheme of delegation that will be incorporated will be those approved by the Council and the Cabinet (in relation to the discharge of executive functions) or by the Council in relation to all other functions of the authority. Such amendments must be worded specifically (i.e. add to, delete from, amend specific paragraphs).
However, when a committee specifically instructs the Chief Executive, or an Executive Director 1 or a Divisional Director or Director within the Directorate of Strategy and Corporate Services 2 to undertake a task or when a delegated power is required for a period of less than six months, approval can be given by the relevant committee only (as the Council is not required to incorporate such powers in its scheme of delegation).
All references to "Executive Directors" in this Scheme of Delegation also include the Assistant C hief Executive, unless expressly stated otherwise.
2. Operation of Delegated Powers within Departments In addition to the powers delegated by the Council to the officers specified in the Schedules to this Scheme of Delegation, the Chief Executive, and Executive Directors are authorised to make further arrangements within their Departments to:
• Empower officers to implement specified decisions on their behalf. Schemes of delegation as approved by the Council are set out below under the Chief Executive and each Executive Director, and include specified delegations to Directors in the Directorate of Strategy and Corporate Services, Divisional Directors, Heads of Service and
1 Executive Directors of Strategy and Corporate Services, Children and Young People's Service, Environment and Culture, Finance and Resources , Regeneration and Housing Services and Adults' and Community Services 2 Divisional Directors and Directors in the Directorate of Strategy and Corporate Services shall include Business Partnership and 'E' Governance, Legal and Democratic Services, Human Resources, Campaigns and Communications, and Performance and Programmes
100 Page 185
Business Managers. The term "officer" in this context is not confined to a direct employee of the Council. The Council will occasionally need to appoint interim managers in senior positions via an agency or on a consultancy basis, who are likely to be required to exercise delegated powers as if they were a directly employed Council officer. Pursuant to the Scheme of Delegation detailed below, Executive Directors may specifically delegate powers to such persons to act as a Divisional Director, Assistant Director or a Director in Strategy and Corporate Services or as a business unit manager. This delegation must be made in writing and identify which elements of the Scheme of Delegation apply. The delegation must be time limited and may not be for more than one year. Where the delegated powers in question relate to financial transactions then the Executive Director of Finance and Resources must be consulted. Where the delegated powers relate to human resources issues then the Executive Director of Strategy and Corporate Services must be consulted.
• Give written advice to those officers on any exceptions to general empowerment (i.e. decisions to only be taken in consultation with themselves or other officers, Cabinet Members or other nominated persons).
• Produce a tailored record-keeping system for decisions, including an audit trail.
3. Consultation Under the provisions of the Local Government Act 2000, the Council has included relevant consultation arrangements for decision-making. The Constitution and forward plan make clear the expectations placed on the executive (Cabinet Members and officers) to consult before policy and significant operational decisions (i.e. “key decisions”) are made.
4. Preamble The Chief Executive, all Executive Directors, Divisional Directors and Directors within the Directorate of Strategy and Corporate Services are designated Proper Officers of the Council pursuant to Section 234 of the Local Government Act 1972, and empowered to sign, pursuant to Section 270(3) of the Local Government Act, 1972, any notice, order or other document required to be made, given or issued to give effect to the powers delegated to them both generally and specifically as set out in this paragraph and below.
Pursuant to Section 101 of the Local Government Act 1972 the Chief Executive, all Executive Directors, Directors within the Directorate of Strategy and Corporate Services, Divisional Directors, Heads of Service and Business Managers, so far as their respective Departments / departments / divisions / business units are concerned, are empowered to deal with the matters set out below.
101 Page 186
The Local Government Act 1972 grants wide-ranging powers for local authorities to delegate the discharge of their functions. The Act of 2000 also contains provisions on the delegation of executive functions; it requires that the local authorities adopting executive arrangements must make arrangements for the discharge of their executive functions, and makes provisions accordingly. In establishing a Scheme of Delegation for Officers – whether in respect of executive or non-executive functions, it is important to bear in mind that a number of principles exist in terms of delegations, all of which must be complied with in order to ensure that the authority's functions are lawfully discharged. These principles are set out below and are in addition to those set out in the Introduction above. It should be remembered that where functions that are the responsibility of the Cabinet are delegated to officers or other structures outside the Cabinet, the Cabinet should nevertheless remain accountable to the Council, through scrutiny committees for the discharge of those functions. It is a presumption that discretion conferred by a statute should be exercised by an authority or person on whom the statute is conferred and no other authority or person.
Notes to Scheme of Delegation
1. The powers in this document are subject to the provisions set out in the Constitution and Financial Regulations and the delegations contained therein. 2. All delegated functions shall be deemed to be exercised on behalf of and in the name of the Council. 3. The exercise of a delegated power, duty or function shall:
(a) be subject to the Council's policies and criteria; (b) not amount to a new policy or extension of or amendment to the existing and agreed policy framework of the Council 3 unless otherwise provided for in the Constitution; (c) be subject to any Special Procedure and/or Protocol; and (d) be subject to the requirements of the Constitution and Financial Regulations.
4. An officer to whom a power, duty or function is delegated may nominate or authorise another officer to exercise that power, duty or function, provided that officer reports to or is responsible to the delegator. 5. References to any enactment, regulation, order or byelaw shall be construed as including any re-enactment or re-making of the same, whether or not with amendments.
3 "Policy Framework" means all those plans and strategies that are subject to full Council approval in accordance with Article 4 of the Constitution.
102 Page 187
6. Any references to any Act of Parliament includes references to regulations, subordinate and EU legislation upon which either UK legislation is based, or from which powers, duties and functions of the Council are derived. 7. Where the exercise of powers is subject to prior consultation with another officer or a Cabinet Member, that officer or Cabinet Member, may give his or her views in general terms in advance to apply to any particular circumstances, to remove the need for consultation for each proposal. 8. Subject to any express instructions to the contrary from the Council, the Cabinet, Committee or Sub-Committee, any power to approve also includes the power to refuse, and the power to impose appropriate conditions. 9. Delegations to officers are subject to- (a) the rights of the Council, Cabinet, Committee or Sub-Committee to decide any matter in a particular case; (b) the Chief Executive, and the Executive Director or other officer may in any case in lieu of exercising his/her delegated power refer to the Council, the Cabinet, Committee or Sub-Committee for a decision; and (c) any restrictions, conditions or directions of the Council, the Cabinet, the delegating Committee or Sub-Committee. 10. In exercising delegated powers the Chief Executive, the Executive Director or other officer shall: (a) take account of the requirements of the Constitution and Financial Regulations and shall address all legal, financial and other professional safeguards as if the matter were not delegated; (b) shall exercise the delegation so as to promote the efficient, effective and economic running of that Division, Department and the Council, and in the furtherance of the Council's visions and values; and (c) shall, where and when appropriate, report back to the appropriate body (i.e. Council, Cabinet, Committee or Sub-Committee) as to the exercise of those delegated powers. 11. Except where otherwise expressly provided either within the Scheme of Delegation or by resolution of the Council, the Cabinet, a Committee or Sub-Committee, the exercise of any delegated power, duty or function is subject to having the appropriate and necessary budgetary provision in place to take the action in the name of and/or on behalf of the Council. 12. Any delegated power conferred to a subordinate officer shall be deemed to be exercised in the name of the Chief Executive, or the Executive Director as appropriate. 13. The compilation of a Scheme of Delegated Powers is a statutory requirement. The Scheme of Delegation is maintained by the Director of Legal and Democratic Services and delegations are added to it as they are made by the Council, Cabinet, Committees and Sub-Committees. Officers should take care to inform themselves of any subsequent changes to the Scheme before solely relying on this document.
103 Page 188
14. The Director of Legal and Democratic Services shall have the power to amend this Scheme to reflect re-organisations, changes in job titles and vacancies, where said changes result in redistributing existing delegations and not the creation of new ones. 15. Any post specifically referred to below shall be deemed to include any successor post, or a post which includes within the job description, elements relevant to any particular delegation, which were also present in the earlier post and shall include anyone acting up or seconded or discharging the functions of the post on an interim basis. 16. Any reference to a Committee or Sub-Committee shall be deemed to include reference to a successor Committee or Sub-Committee provided that the subject matter of a particular delegation can be found within the terms of reference of both the earlier and the successor Committee or Sub-Committee. 17. Where a power or duty is delegated to an officer, and the exercise of that power or duty is contingent upon the opinion of the Cabinet or Council that particular conditions or factual circumstances exist, then the officer in question has the power to determine whether or not those circumstances exist or those conditions have been fulfilled in the name of and with the authority of the Cabinet or Council as appropriate. 18. With respect to any reference to a delegation being exercised following consultation with the appropriate Cabinet Member, the decision is vested with the delegatee who shall be responsible and accountable for the decision, the delegatee is required to bring independent judgement to bear on the decision, and the decision must not consist of the officer adding a sanction of approval to what a Councillor has decided. 19. If a matter is delegated to an officer, but that delegation cannot be implemented, that should be reported to the Council, the Cabinet or the delegating Committee or Sub-Committee. 20. Functions, matters, powers, authorisations, delegations, duties and responsibilities within this Scheme shall be construed in a broad and inclusive fashion and shall include the doing of anything which is calculated to facilitate or is conducive or incidental to the discharge of anything specified. 21. All matters of interpretation of the Scheme of Delegation will be determined by the Director of Legal and Democratic Services. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Scheme of Delegation and the requirements imposed by Financial Regulations, the latter will take precedence. 22. The definition of any contract term is to be clearly defined in accordance with Financial Regulations and legal interpretation. 23. Officers exercising delegated powers related to financial matters (such as raising invoices, writing-off debts, paying invoices or disposals of assets) shall be aware at all times of the statutory responsibility of the Executive Director of Finance and Resources under Section 151 of the Local Government Act 1972 and of the need to comply with all the instructions and guidance issued by him/her and to seek their advice as necessary.
104 Page 189
24. Executive Directors exercising delegated powers in relation to major departmental re-organisations and substantial financial matters (such as write-offs, disposal of assets, increases in fees and charges) shall make such arrangements to consult with the relevant Cabinet Member as may be agreed between them from time to time.
As well as the guidance notes above there are produced below safeguards for authorisation for discharging delegated functions:
5. Safeguards for Authorisation of subordinate officers to discharge particular functions in any Scheme of Delegation
1. The nature and statutory context of the function that is to be discharged by a subordinate officer is relevant. The greater the extent to which the discharge of the function affects individual rights or requires the exercise of discretion or professional judgement, the less likely it would be lawful to authorise the subordinate to act.
2. Administrative inconvenience is a very important rationale for the power to authorise subordinates to act. Therefore, authorisation should only be given where the administrative burden of personally discharging functions would be significant.
3. The degree of control maintained by the senior officer over the subordinate may be a material factor in determining the validity of the authorisation. In cases where significant discretion or judgement must be exercised, a high degree of control should be retained.
4. The subordinate may be authorised to make decisions in the name of the senior officer, if necessary by using a facsimile signature or requiring the senior officer simply to sign decisions without personally considering them. This system takes advantage of Section 234(2) of the Local Government Act 1972.
5. In the case of the simplest administrative task, involving a minimal exercise of discretion or judgement, there would be less need for formality.
6. A subordinate officer who is authorised to discharge a particular function should not subsequently authorise another officer or third party to discharge that function without the consent of the officer whose powers the subordinate officer is discharging. The responsibility of the Head of Service or other senior officer has formed a basis for the decisions that allow authorisations. Any kind of 'sub-authorisation' will undermine and lessen this responsibility and would greatly increase the likelihood that it will be found to be unlawful.
105 Page 190
7. The ability and experience of the authorised officer should be taken into account, so that an officer with appropriate experience and skills is authorised to act.
8. The nature and extent of any further authorisation which is not specified in the Schedules to this Scheme of Delegation should be set down in writing.
Definition of Management
‘Management’ in this document means carrying out, in consultation with the Chief Executive or Executive Director as appropriate, the tasks set out below (subject to the restrictions referred to) within the manager's field of responsibility.
