Co-optees: Not Present Also in Attendance: Cllr R Bowden, Executive Board Member Corporate Resources and Assignments Apologies Apologies were received from Councillor W Johnson. SC31 Code of Conduct – Declarations of Interest There were no declarations of interest made. SC32 Minutes Decision That the minutes of the meeting held on 17 September 2013 be confirmed as a correct record. SC33 Budget 2014/15 and Medium Term Financial Plan The Committee considered a report from Councillor Russ Bowden, Executive Member Corporate Resources and Assignments, and Lynton Green, Director of Finance and Information Services, giving pre-budget information. Cllr Bowden and Shaer Halewood, Chief Accountant, were in attendance for this item. The report included information about Warrington’s funding position; a financial overview for 2014-18; inflation and budget pressures; savings proposals; budget consultation; the capital programme; and the budget approval process. Cllr Bowden referred to background information in the following published reports:- • SIGOMA (Special Interest Group of Municipal Authorities) – A Fair Future or a Growing Divide; • Joseph Rowntree Foundation – Coping with the Cuts? Local Government and Poorer Communities; and • Audit Commission – Tough Times 2013 – Councils’ Responses to Financial Challenges from 2010/11 to 2013/14. Cllr Bowden also highlighted the following matters:- 1 Agenda Item 3 • The cuts, following the Governments 2010 Spending Review, had been quicker and deeper than originally thought; • Warrington had received an average cut in Government Funding of 10% for the last three years; • There was no visible end in sight to the financial pressures, with around £40M of funding cuts anticipated aver the next four years – with cuts of £17M in 2014/15 on top of the £13M cut in the current year; • Council Tax income was based on a assumption of a 1.98% increase in each year (i.e. below the 2% referendum limit) • The Business Rate Retention scheme had begun on 1 April 2013. Using current estimates Warrington was expecting its proportion of business rates income to be £1.4m over baseline in 2014/15. This would mean an additional £0.8m income to Warrington, and £0.6m income to the Business Rate Pool, from which Warrington would retain £0.2m. The Executive Board, in October 2013, had agreed that Warrington would join a Business Rate Pool with St Helens and Halton to create the Mid Mersey Business Rate Pool; • Area graphs showed the split of expenditure by Directorates in 2013/14 and the changing pattern of income from 2013/14 to 2017/18. It would not be possible to freeze Council Tax income in future years; • Current savings target were being met. The earliest savings had been simper to introduce, but future options would be more limited. Savings proposals had been made for 2014./15 through the service challenge process and a consultation process would be launched on 12 December 2013; • The Council had an ambitious Capital Programme, which included working with Registered Social Landlords and the regeneration of Bridgefoot. Assessment of the potential risks associated with the Capital Programme had been the subject of discussions with the external auditors; • The Chancellors Autumn Statement had been announced last week; and • Some minor amendments to the report were as follows:- the final bullet at Paragraph 4.1 was to be deleted and the Retail Price Index (RPI) figure at Paragraph 4.6 should say 2% not 3.3%. Cllr Marks asked whether the Business Rate Pool would be affected by the total NNDR collected nationally and about the benefits of pooling. Shaer Halewood confirmed that the figures would depend on the national picture. Cllr Bowden confirmed that the pooling arrangements would generate savings which would be shared across the authorities. Decision To note the 2014-18 Pre-Budget report. 2 Agenda Item 3 SC34 North West Ambulance Service Update The Committee considered a presentation from Madeline Edgar, Acting Head of Communications, and Karl Hough, Advanced Paramedic, North West Ambulance Service. The presentation included information on the following issues:- • core services; • key facts and figures; • key achievements; • headline performance in Warrington; • staffing, accommodation and vehicular resources in Warrington; • community care services in Warrington; • complaints; • progression to Foundation Trust Status; • estates review; and • current initiatives. Members asked questions on a number of issues. Decision (1) To note the presentation from the North West Ambulance Service; and (2) To request further information on the level and detail of complaints made locally. SC35 Cheshire, Warrington and Wirral NHS England Area Team – Update on Reconfiguration of Vascular Services The Committee considered a presentation from Alison Tonge, Director of Commissioning Cheshire, Warrington and Wirral Area Team, NHS England, and Mike Chambers, Chief Executive, the Countess of Chester Hospital on the progress as to implementation of the reconfiguration of vascular services. Ms Tonge provided an overview of the commissioning landscape, which formed the background and context to the reconfiguration of vascular services.

  • Viking Wirral … and the Battle of Brunanburh Professor Steve Harding
    Viking Wirral … and the Battle of Brunanburh Professor Steve Harding Neil Oliver, “History of Scotland” BBC2, 2009 “ The many armies, tens of thousands of warriors clashed at the site known as Brunanburh where the Mersey Estuary enters the sea . For decades afterwards it was simply known called the Great Battle. This was the mother of all dark-age bloodbaths and would define the shape of Britain into the modern era. Althouggg,h Athelstan emerged victorious, the resistance of the northern alliance had put an end to his dream of conquering the whole of Britain. This had been a battle for Britain, one of the most important battles in British historyyy and yet today ypp few people have even heard of it. 937 doesn’t quite have the ring of 1066 and yet Brunanburh was about much more than blood and conquest. This was a showdown between two very different ethnic identities – a Norse-Celtic alliance versus Anglo-Saxon. It aimed to settle once and for all whether Britain would be controlled by a single Imperial power or remain several separate kingdoms. A split in perceptions which, like it or not, is still with us today”.

  • 'Honeygreave' and the Rock House Ferry*
    ‘Honeygreave’ and the Rock House ferry* I In the published Bebington parish registers for the years 1558 to 1701 there occurs, 44 times between 1585 and 1692, the place- name ‘Honeygreave’, 30 in relation to christenings and 14 to burials (see appendix).1 The name, which does not recur after 1701 in the unpublished registers, was one of only three - apart from those of familiar villages or hamlets — used to denote the dwellings of individual parishioners. Its meaning is ‘Honey Grove’ or ‘Honey Wood’, and the allusion is apparently to honeysuckle, as in the Landican fieldname ‘Honey Field’.2 This pleasingly bucolic toponym is unremarkable in all respects but one: it is not found anywhere else. No trace of Honeygreave features in the recent and exhaustive survey The place-names o f Cheshire,3 even in the sizeable appendix of rare, unidentified or failed names. But although the record of its existence is confined to the Bebington registers, its occurrence there was nevertheless frequent enough, and its demise recent enough, to call for explanation. What and where was it, and why did it fail? The enigmatic ‘Honeysuckle Wood’ deserves attention; certainly more than it was given in the published registers, where no editorial explanation or comment is offered and where it is not even included in the index — hence its absence from Place-names. * The writer wishes to thank Mr D. N. Thompson of the Wirral Archives Service, Birkenhead Central Library, the staff of the Chester and Cheshire Record Office, Chester, and Dr Sean Cunningham of the National Archives for their advice and assistance.

  • 6 Merseyside
    6 Merseyside 6.1 Administrative set-up Merseyside takes its name from the River Mersey and is a metropolitan county in North West England. Merseyside came into existence as a metropolitan county in 1974, after the passage of the Local Government Act 1972, and the county consists of five metropolitan boroughs adjoining the Mersey Estuary, including the City of Liverpool. Merseyside encompasses about 645 km2 (249 sq miles) and has a population of around 1,350,100 (Office of National Statistics). Number of Males Females Total Area Merseyside people per (thousands) (thousands) (thousands) (hectares) hectare Knowsley 71.7 79.1 150.8 8629.3 17.48 Liverpool 212.7 222.8 435.5 11159.08 39.03 Sefton 131.3 144.9 276.2 15455.66 17.87 St Helens 86.5 91 177.5 13589.08 13.06 Wirral 147.7 162.4 310.1 15704.9 19.75 Total 649.9 700.2 1350.1 64538.02 107.19 Table 3 Demographics of Merseyside (sourced various from ONS www.statistics.gov.uk) Merseyside County Council was abolished in 1986, and so its districts (the metropolitan boroughs) are now essentially unitary authorities. However, the metropolitan county continues to exist in law and as a geographic frame of reference. Merseyside is divided into two parts by the Mersey Estuary: the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral is located to the west of the estuary on the Wirral Peninsula; the rest of the county is located on the eastern side of the estuary. The eastern boroughs of Merseyside border Lancashire to the north and Greater Manchester to the east, and both parts of Merseyside, west and east of the estuary, border Cheshire to the south.
