North Kesteven - Local Authority In-House Home Improvement Agency
North Kesteven - Local authority in-house home improvement agency Good practice themes 1. Discretionary Assistance within Regulatory Reform Order Policy that supports stay put and move on options in a rural authority area 2. Access to Adult Care Information system to directly update case records and hence ensure statutory agencies are able to determine current status of intervention being provided through housing assistance Context North Kesteven Council (population c 110,000) is one of seven second tier authorities in Lincolnshire and is essentially rural with two small towns and around 100 small communities. Over 80% of the population live in rural areas or market towns. The housing tenure mix is dominated by owner occupation, there is a limited social housing sector (including some council owned stock) and an increasing private rented sector, the latter considered in part to be meeting demand from inward migration to the area due to employment in the agricultural industry. Historically, in common with many second tier authorities across England, available funding for Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) has been modest so until relatively recently there has been an approach where demand for mandatory assistance has been carefully managed. Indeed whilst the Better Care Fund allocation has resulted in a significant increase to the local budget it remains relatively small, £744k in 2018/19. However this level of increase has since 2016 enabled the introduction of several forms of discretionary assistance for disabled older people in a way that better meets the ambition of the local authority to directly provide or enable improvements in health and wellbeing of residents. -

One result of are likely to have required them, there are no single- this has been that — within eastern England anyway stone bases or socket stones identified as plausibly pre- — the groupings to which monuments reported in any Conquest in Nottinghamshire. There is only the very given volume belong sometimes fit within the volume’s impressive composite pyramidal base at Stapleford boundaries, but more often they extend outwards into — an outstanding monument in its own right — adjacent volumes. So it is with Nottinghamshire and which seems to be original to the shaft it still supports Nottinghamshire. With the exception of a tiny group and is associated with it by stone type and simple of local grave-markers, there is no monument type decoration (Stapleford 2, p. 195, Ills. 124, 141–4). whose distribution can be confined to the county.

Irish Traveller Movement in Britain

ITMB act as a bridge builder bringing the Traveller communities, service providers and policy makers together, stimulating debate and promoting forward-looking strategies to promote increased race equality, civic engagement, inclusion, service provision and community cohesion. For further information about ITMB visit www.irishtraveller.org.uk 1. Introduction and background In December last year, the first ever census figures for the population of Gypsies and Irish Travellers in England and Wales were released. In all 54,895 Gypsies and Irish Travellers in England and 2,785 in Wales were counted.1 While the Census population is considerably less than previous estimates of 150,000-300,000 it is important to acknowledge that tens of thousands of community members did identify as Gypsies and Travellers. In the absence of a robust figure as a comparator to the census, the ITMB undertook research to estimate a minimum population for Gypsies and Travellers in England, based on Local Authority Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessments (GTAA)2 and the Department for Communities and Local Government bi-annual Caravan Count. Definitions of Gypsies and Travellers For the purposes of this report it is important to understand the varying definitions of Gypsies, Irish Travellers and other Travelling groups in official data sources. -

It is recognised as a contributing factor in the onset of heart disease and cancer. Additionally, air pollution particularly affects the most vulnerable in society: children and older people, and those with heart and lung conditions. There is also often a strong correlation with equalities issues, because areas with poor air quality are also often the less affluent areas1,2. The annual health cost to society of the impacts of particulate matter alone in the UK is estimated to be around £16 billion3. There is currently one Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) designated within South Kesteven; AQMA No.6 within Grantham that spans the main vehicular route through the town centre. The current AQMA has been declared due to exceedances of the NO2 annual mean and 1-hour objectives. During 2018, South Kesteven monitored NO2 using fifty eight passive NO2 diffusion tubes at thirty five separate locations with no automatic monitoring completed. The NO2 diffusion tube network is in place to monitor NO2 concentrations across the District, monitoring at known hotspot areas and also being used to identify any new hotspot areas. -

Spalding Prison
SPALDING PRISON Her Majesty’s Prison for the parts of Holland and Kesteven By David Gray Officially known as “Her Majesty’s Prison for the parts of Holland and Kesteven” it adjoined the Sessions House off the Sheep Market. It was improved in 1848-52 and enlarged to have 95 separate cells, airing yards, and workshops. EARLY HISTORY OF SPALDING PRISON Although there are cells underneath the Sessions House, it was never a Prison. The Prison was in Broad Street, built in 1619 as a House Of Correction, for the ‘keeping and correcting and setting to work of rogues, vagabonds, sturdie beggars and other vagrant idle and disorderly persons’. It was used until 1834 and then demolished and the site partly used for the Methodist Church. SPALDING PRISON IN THE SHEEP MARKET A new Prison was built next to the Sessions House in the Sheep Market, which was completed in 1836. It had all the conveniences, a human treadmill for the prisoners to walk on to grind their own flour, lots of cells for solitary confinement and 48 sleeping cells and a Chapel. Human Treadmill similar to the one that would have been used in the Prison Executions took place publicly in Spalding Market Place. The last man to be hung was in 1742, and his body afterwards “Gibbeted”, (hung in chains) on Vernat’s Bank. Spalding also used Stocks (heavy timber frame with holes for confining the ankles and sometimes the wrists) and a Pillory (a device made of a wooden or metal framework erected on a post, with holes for securing the head and hands) , and a Tumbril (a two- wheeled cart that tipped up, used to transport prisoners) . -
