Report to Cabinet Locality Services Date of Issue: 29 March 2019 Member For: Date of Decision: 5 April 2019 Report to Cabinet Locality Services Date of Issue: 29 March 2019 Member for: Date of Decision: 5 April 2019 Subject: Highway Maintenance Programme 2019/20 Report of: Head of Highways Wards Affected: All Wards and Public Protection Is this a Key No Included in No Decision: Forward Plan: Exempt / No Confidential Report: Summary: To advise Cabinet Member for Localities & Highways of those locations which have been recommended for inclusion in the Highway Maintenance Programme for 2019/20. Recommendations: It is recommended that Cabinet Member for Localities & Highways examines the programme and makes known his comments to the Department of Highways & Public Protection. All comments and any additional schemes recommended by Cabinet Member shall be investigated to determine whether or not any adjustment to the current listings is appropriate. Reasons for the Recommendations: To acknowledge the comments made by Cabinet Member for Localities & Highways and approve the prioritised programme of highway maintenance works for delivery during 2019/20. Alternative Options Considered and Rejected: (including any Risk Implications) To supplement the proposed carriageway improvement programmes, wholesale footway reconstructions across the borough will continue to be suspended; allowing the relevant funding to be directed towards carriageway resurfacing and preventative footway/carriageway treatment programmes. It is considered that this will use the allocated funds to best effect and minimize the impact of severe weather conditions on these road surfaces in the future. What will it cost and how will it be financed? (A) Revenue Costs It should be noted that during preparation of this report, Revenue and Capital budget allocations for 2019/20 had not been finalised. Consequently, the list of schemes that form part of the draft highway maintenance programme has been based on 2018/19 funding awards and those schemes actually undertaken will be adjusted in line with available funding. Should a reduction in budget provisions in 2019/20 be recognised, it is inevitable that the number of schemes being identified for improvement will be reduced also. (B) Capital Costs As above. Implications of the Proposals: The following implications of this proposal have been considered and where there are specific implications, these are set out below: Resource Implications (Financial, IT, Staffing and Assets): Delivery of the works programmes will be completed using existing staffing, resources and available budgets. Legal Implications: No Legal Implications. Equality Implications: There are no equality implications. Contribution to the Council’s Core Purpose: Protect the most vulnerable: The effective repair and maintenance of the highway infrastructure not only ensures safety for all road users but in particular those pedestrians with disabilities, i.e. Visually impaired etc. Facilitate confident and resilient communities: The effective repair and maintenance of the council’s road networks will assist those communities across the borough. Commission, broker and provide core services: Completion of the works programmes will contribute towards the aspiration of the 2030 vision. Place – leadership and influencer: Taking a leading role in the development of these annual works programmes, will always be in the best interest of Sefton Council and its residents. Drivers of change and reform: To support maintenance activities across the council’s respective highway networks, the development of these annual works programmes provides opportunity for a wide range of conventional and proprietary surface treatments to be used which leads to continuous improvements across the borough and the outcomes for local residents. Facilitate sustainable economic prosperity: The highway infrastructure is one of the council’s largest assets. Local businesses rely on effective transport links to enable them to trade and grow. Keeping the highway infrastructure well maintained reduces delays on the network thus contributing to this. Greater income for social investment: A well maintained highway network reduces congestion and allows the free movement of traffic across the borough which can lead to improved business links, generated income and profit which has the potential to be invested across other council services. Cleaner Greener Continued investment in longer term maintenance activities such as carriageway resurfacing and treatments will reduce traffic congestion and the impact this has on the local environment and people’s wellbeing. What consultations have taken place on the proposals and when? (A) Internal Consultations The Head of Corporate Finance (FD 5573/19) and Chief Legal and Democratic Officer (LD4697/19) have been consulted and any comments have been incorporated into the report. (B) External Consultations Not applicable. Implementation Date for the Decision Following the expiry of the “call-in” period for the Cabinet Member decision. Contact Officer: Mr David Franey Telephone Number: 0151 934 3077 Email Address: [email protected] Appendices: There are no appendices to this report. Background Papers: There are no background papers available for inspection. 1.0 Introduction/Background 1.1 A draft Highway Maintenance Programme for 2019/20 is being shared with Cabinet Member for consultation and comment. 1.2 A single year’s programme of works is being presented at this time. Unfortunately, the damaging effects of weather conditions and traffic usage will continue to manifest itself over the next year leading to further and more significant levels of deterioration in many roads across the Borough. It is not possible to predict future deterioration levels across the whole network with any degree of confidence at this time; consequently, it is considered premature to attempt to identify schemes for inclusion in financial year 2020/21 and beyond. 1.3 The Highway Maintenance Programme for the whole of the Borough is appended at the back of this report and includes a range of highway treatments, namely, carriageway resurfacing, micro-asphalt carriageway and footway slurry seal surface treatments. (Refer to Annex A) 1.4 The list of sites being considered for street lighting improvements during 2019/20 is also appended to this report. (Refer to Annex B) 1.5 The programmes identify the volume of schemes which are likely to be completed during 2019/20 based upon anticipated budget allocations and preliminary cost estimates. 2.0 Evaluation Process 2.1 Based upon the levels of deterioration being reported, and the subsequent visual assessments carried out by technical staff, the relative need for treatments at individual locations has been determined and prioritised accordingly. 2.2 This evaluation has included an on-site assessment of the causation of the ‘wear and tear’, the type and depth of the construction materials, road classification and usage to support the decision making process of what, when and where to treat. This has included reviewing the impact of doing no programmed work at this time and continuing to maintain the section of highway through routine maintenance/patching operations. Consequently, the prioritisation of individual schemes has been based on its perceived need. 3.0 Treatment Selection 3.1 The selection of individual treatments will depend upon the nature and severity of the defective lengths of highway. 3.2 Micro-Asphalt and Slurry Seal surfacing is a cold applied treatment, which can be applied to deteriorated surface, where the platform layer is in otherwise sound condition. It will seal surfaces against the ingress of water and thereby prolong the life of the underlying construction layers. It has limited re-profiling qualities but will provide a durable hard wearing surface for a number of additional years depending on local conditions and usage. 3.3 Resurfacing involves completely removing the top surface of the road and replacing it with a new surface layer. It may include large areas of deep reconstruction to the lower layers of the road. It should take place only at the end of the serviceable life of the associated construction layers and when such procedures such as micro surfacing and other similar type treatments are not viable. It becomes necessary when traffic loading has exceeded the load bearing capacity of the road, causing unacceptable strain. 4.0 Allocation of Funds 4.1 This year the carriageway improvement programmes have been prepared, consisting, predominantly of carriageway resurfacing and micro-asphalt applications. 4.2 Given the deterioration levels across the highway network, which has accelerated in recent years, there is a need to focus more on long term maintenance solutions such as carriageway resurfacing / reconstruction. 4.3 The use of micro-asphalt and other similar type treatments has proven successful in slowing down deterioration levels across the council’s highway networks and will continue to do so. 4.4 Regrettably, there is a high percentage of the highway network that has failed and beyond surface treatment applications which are becoming uneconomical to maintain through routine maintenance/patching operations. This remains a risk to the Council however officers will continue to target available funding to maximise benefits and minimise the risk to the Council. 4.5 Cabinet Member should be made aware of selective locations that have been included in the carriageway surface treatment programmers which are nearing borderline for preventative type treatments to be effective.

Podalonia affinis is confirmed as extant on the Sefton Coast; it is definitely present at Ainsdale NNR and is possibly present at Freshfield Dune Heath. Stelis ornatula, Mimesa bruxellensis and Bombus humilis are not confirmed as currently present at the sites surveyed for this report. A total of 141 records were made (see attached data list) of 48 aculeate species. The majority of samples were of aculeate wasps (Sphecidae, Crabronidae and Pompilidae). 4 INTRODUCTION PRIMARY SPECIES (Status) Stelis ornatula There are 9 records of this species for VC59 between 1975 and 2000. All the records are from the Sefton Coast. The host of this parasitic species is Hoplitis claviventris which is also recorded predominantly from the coast (in VC59). All records are from Ainsdale National Nature Reserve (NNR) and Formby (Formby Point and Ravenmeols Dunes). Podalonia affinis There are 15 VC59 records for this species which includes both older, unconfirmed records and more recent confirmed records based on specimens.

Thank you for joining us today. My name is Neil Ward. I am the Lead Assistant Commissioner appointed by the Boundary Commission to conduct two things: To conduct the hearings across the whole of the North West into their Initial Proposals for the revised parliamentary boundaries for the North West region and, along with two fellow assistant Commissioners, Nicholas Elliott and Graeme Clarke, to take on board all the representations that are either made in the hearings or in written representations and to consider, in the light of them, whether we think it is appropriate to recommend changes, revised proposals to the Boundary Commission on their Initial Proposals. I should say that I am, in a sense, essentially independent of the Boundary Commission. Although I am appointed by them, I had no hand in the drafting of the proposals and I received them the same time as everyone else and I am, in a sense, an honest broker in this process, considering whether or not changes ought to be made. This is the second day of the Liverpool hearing. Just a couple of words on process.

  • Formby and Little Altcar Neighbourhood Development Plan
    Formby and Little Altcar Neighbourhood Development Plan 2012 to 2030 Page| Page|02 FOREWORD Formby is a great town with a unique heritage and a dynamic future. Its uniqueness is due in part to its open areas of natural beauty, unrivalled coastal dunes and its local heritage. Investment and change in the years ahead will only be worthwhile if it makes a real difference to the lives of local people and the future of its community. The Formby and Little Altcar Neighbourhood Development Plan, [NDP] has been produced jointly by the Parish Councils of Formby and Little Altcar, starting back in September 2013. The Parish Councils wanted the people of Formby and Little Altcar to have a say in all aspects of the future of the town; addressing the issues surrounding housing, infrastructure, health and wellbeing, the environment, and natural/heritage assets. However, most importantly, it wanted local people to decide what they wanted in their community. The NDP sets out a vision for the area that reflects the thoughts and feelings of local people with a real interest in their community. It sets out objectives on key themes such as housing, employment, green space, moving around and community facilities and builds on current and future planned activities. The Parish Councils are committed to developing and strengthening contacts with the groups that have evolved because of the NDP process. We believe that by working together to implement the NDP it will make Formby an even better place to live, work and enjoy. We have had to ensure that our NDP is consistent, where appropriate, with the Sefton Local Plan, the February 2019 National Planning Policy Framework, subsequent updates, and guidance notes.

These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

    Sefton Council Election Results 1973-2012 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.
