Page 4 of 49 Barrow & District Area Plan | 2012-14 2. Executive Summary This Area Plan provides a current snapshot of life in Barrow and how Cumbria County Council is working across directorates and with its partners to deliver relevant, quality services in support of local communities. The Barrow area faces many social-economic challenges and is classed as the 29th most deprived district in the country, with 2 of its wards being in the top 3% overall. Details of the local demographics, the communities health, life expectancy, economic factors and crime statistics are unpacked in the plan, which together set the overall context in which the county council must play a fundamental part to improve outcomes for its residents, both immediate and in the longer term. Despite the adverse evidence which places Barrow as the most deprived district in Cumbria, the communities tell us that the things that matter to them most are the liveability issues which affect their neighbourhoods, such as street lighting, parking, litter and speeding. This in itself is evidence that we should be starting a dialogue with the Barrow communities about the wider and perhaps more hidden issues in their neighbourhoods. Over the past year the council has continued to effectively and consistently deliver its services in order to reach its previously agreed outcomes. There are many achievements and successes to celebrate and this plan sets out some of those highlights. These range from the development of a Barrow Credit Union driven by dedicated volunteers to ………… Looking ahead to the coming years, activity in Barrow will need to address the widening gap between itself and the other districts of Cumbria. It is the only district in Cumbria to be ranked the lowest scoring for x out of x area profile criteria. Local Committee for Barrow has considered the data for the area and has agreed the following area priorities: Economic Development Children and Young People Health and Wellbeing [to be informed by Business Planning activity on 29th February] Page 5 of 49 Cumbria County Council All of these priority areas cannot be tackled in isolation as they profoundly impact upon one another. Working with its partners, the county council will focus its activity to help address many of these local priorities by assessing and tackling the attributing causes. Area Planning is key to getting locally delivered services targeted at the right place at the right time, that meet evidenced need and which maximise the council‟s resources. In developing this plan, service leads from each of the council‟s 13 local service areas have contributed information about their current service, the challenges facing the local communities, the wider environmental issues and how these impact on service delivery in Barrow. In order to improve outcomes for the communities of Barrow each service lead has identified priorities for the coming year and how they will achieve them, either as a single service, in collaboration with other council directorates or in partnership with other local authorities and agencies. Major projects which transform the way in which services are delivered in the area are also included. The Area Plan sets out a number of intended outcomes for the Barrow area and therefore it is vital that performance management is clearly defined and robustly monitored to ensure the effectiveness of agreed activity. The performance measures will differ across the service areas as success for some will be easily quantifiable, where for others it will be dependent on more qualitative information, such as community perceptions. The Council‟s Performance Management Framework and the newly developed Local Committee Area Scorecards will provide the mechanism for Local Committee to concisely monitor progress during the year. Should performance fail to reach expected outcomes, the Local Committee will be able to work with service leads to consider mitigating action. This is the first year that Area Plans will be an integral part of the council‟s strategic planning framework. Therefore, the process of Area Planning and the further development of this Area Plan will be highly iterative. This will be a living document which will be added to all through this first year. The current approach will be assessed and reviewed by Local Committee with its area service leads to ensure that Area Plans contribute to and inform the council‟s strategic priorities. Page 6 of 49 Barrow & District Area Plan | 2012-14 3. Introduction It is set out in the Council‟s constitution that the 6 Local Committees will develop Area Plans for agreement by Council. The intention is for these plans to set out for each area the Council‟s priorities and plans for delivery across all of the Council‟s responsibilities, not only those devolved to Local Committees. Area plans are an important feature of Area Planning – which is the broader process of Local Committees working together with communities and locally based managers to consider: the needs of the area local performance and feedback understand the strategic direction of travel how services need to be developed and delivered locally There are four key tools to support this approach: AREA PLANS AREA PROFILES (provide an overview on an area by (provide a description of the socio- area basis of how the council is economic, health, education, delivering on its priorities on a local transport and other quality of life basis in a way which reflects the indicators in an area) specific needs and opportunities in an area, and local priorities) AREA SCORECARDS LOCAL COMMITTEE BUSINESS (provide a description of County PLANS Council service performance and (provide a framework to support service standards in the Local Local Committee decision making Committee area, and how this and management of their devolved compares with other Local budget) Committee Areas) Page 7 of 49 Cumbria County Council Each Area Plan will sit alongside the Council Plan, Service Plans and other key strategies – providing an overview on an area by area basis of how the council is delivering on its priorities on a local basis in a way which reflects the specific needs and opportunities in an area, and local priorities as defined by Local Committees and informed by local communities and local evidence. They are County Council Plans, not partnership plans, though where we are planning transformation or delivering priorities jointly with partners for the benefit of local communities, then this can be captured in the Area Plan. Principles of Area Plans Each Area Plan might look and feel slightly different – but all of them will have been developed using a set of common principles. Adopting these principles will support the integration of Area Plans with other aspects of the strategic planning process. All Area Plans should: Set out the specific local priorities for the area Support the delivery of the Council‟s priorities Set out key delivery over the next 3 years Be deliverable within resources, rather than aspirational Be informed by evidence Support the implementation of key county wide strategies and plans (e.g. Customer Strategy, Strategic Asset Management Plan, Local Transport Plan) Be reported to Cabinet Refer to key transformational projects already planned and underway in the area Area Plans should be used to support: The reconfiguration of services within geographical localities The development of future council priorities and aspirations Decision making about strategic asset management and the capital programme Decision making of Local Committees The development of Service Plans Page 8 of 49 Barrow & District Area Plan | 2012-14 4. About Barrow & District What is Barrow like? The Borough of Barrow-in-Furness is in the south west corner of the county. The district is dominated by the town of Barrow, the second largest settlement in Cumbria. Geographically isolated, the district is a historic centre of the shipbuilding industry. Transport links are poor. There are rail links which connect the town to the north of the county via the very slow west coast line and south out of the county. Road links both to the south and north exist, however the A590 serves as the only road in and out of the town, which is reduced to a single lane for a large proportion of the journey to the motorway network. Barrow-in-Furness is the only district in Cumbria where the population is in decline. Since 2001 the population is in decline. Since 2001 the population has fallen by 1.8%, compared to a 1.4% rise for the county as a whole. The population is also ageing and since 2001 there has been a 10.8% rise in the number of residents aged over 65 years. This coincides with a 15% decline in the population aged between 0 to 14 years, the greatest fall in the county for this age range. At 78km2, the urban district of Barrow Borough is the smallest geographical area of any district in Cumbria. It is also the most densely populated district in the county with a population of 70,700, equating to xx people per hectare. The district has the second lowest proportion of black and minority ethnic groups (4.1%), only just behind Copeland.

    ONR’s statutory determination of the off-site emergency planning and public information areas for Barrow in accordance with the requirements of the Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations 2001 (REPPIR) regulations 9 and 16 Project Assessment Report ONR-COP-PAR-14-006 Revision 0 10 12 2014 © Office for Nuclear Regulation, 2014 If you wish to reuse this information visit www.onr.org.uk/copyright.htm for details. Published 12/14 For published documents, the electronic copy on the ONR website remains the most current publicly available version and copying or printing renders this document uncontrolled. Office for Nuclear Regulation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ONR’s statutory determination of the off-site emergency planning and public information areas for Barrow in accordance with the requirements of the Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations 2001 (REPPIR) regulations 9 and 16 This Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) Project Assessment Report (PAR) describes and explains the basis for ONR’s re-determination of the Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations (REPPIR) off-site emergency planning area and the area within which prior information is to be distributed around the Barrow GB nuclear site and nuclear warship site. The determination of a REPPIR off-site emergency planning area defines the area around a site within which, in the opinion of ONR, any member of the public is likely to be affected by a reasonably foreseeable radiation emergency (as defined in REPPIR), and constitutes an important component of the UK’s overall emergency response framework. In relation to this area, the local authority is required to prepare an adequate off-site emergency plan with the purpose of minimising, so far as is reasonably practicable, radiation exposures to those likely to be affected by such an emergency.

  • Barrow-In-Furness Borough Council Election Results 1973-2011
    Barrow-In-Furness Borough Council Election Results 1973-2011 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.
