Implementation Date for the Decision Following the expiry of the “call-in” period for the Minutes of the meeting Contact Officer: David Kay Tel: 0151 934 4527 Email: [email protected] Background Papers: There are no background papers available for inspection. 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Cambridge Arcade is an adopted public thoroughfare providing access between Southport’s major shopping areas of Lord Street and Chapel Street. The arcade runs between Southport Town Hall and the Atkinson complex and links into Cambridge Walks. Although the Council owns the freehold for Cambridge Walks this is controlled by a third party commercial investor. 1.3 The Princess Diana Gardens are situated immediately to the front of the town hall / Atkinson sitting between this complex and Lord Street. 1.4 Cambridge Arcade and Princess Diana Gardens both sit within the Southport Conservation area but neither is listed. 1.5 Cambridge Arcade is not classified as an operational building and there is therefore no departmental repair and maintenance budget provision made for its upkeep; it is managed as part of the Council’s Corporate Other Property portfolio. 1.6 The Princess Diana Gardens are maintained through a combination of funding from the Highway and Parks and Open Spaces repairs and maintenance provision. 2.0 Background to Issues 2.1 During the course of the recent Southport Cultural Centre works, leading to the creation of the Atkinson complex, it was necessary to erect scaffolding through the glass roof of Cambridge Arcade. 2.2 Following completion of the Atkinson works, repairs were commenced to the roof with the intention of repairing all damaged or missing glazing. However, during the course of these works urgent defects to the roof structure itself were identified and addressed as an immediate priority. 2.3 Although the structure was rendered safe, and all of the major water ingress issues have been addressed, there was insufficient funding to complete all repairs and there are therefore still a number of damaged or missing glazing panels. 2.4 Aside from glazing there are a number of ongoing maintenance issues relating to the arcade - these range from general upkeep and the need to repair / replace guttering and lead work, through to aesthetic issues, particularly the need to remove of pigeon netting and thoroughly clean and paint all surfaces. 2.5 The Princess Diana Gardens are affected by cracked and uneven paving which is caused by the effect of tree roots and the impact of vehicular traffic. The area is inspected regularly in order to ensure that any potential trip hazards are identified and addressed. However, particularly in areas of heavy use, the appearance of the paving and the gardens overall is severely affected. 3.0 Proposals 3.1 Other than the existing repair and maintenance budgets there is no funding available with which to undertake improvement works to Cambridge Arcade or Princess Diana Gardens. 3.2 There are two issues causing concern to the users and tenants of Cambridge Arcade – these being the balance of broken or missing glazing panels which are unsightly and gives rise to occasional water ingress, and the general appearance and the need for aesthetic improvements as outlined in 2.4 above. 3.3 The replacement of the remaining broken or missing glazing panels must be a priority as this detracts from the use of the arcade and could lead to a potential future hazard - it is estimated that work to address these will cost in the region of £17,500. These costs can be met from existing budget provision and it is proposed that these works be programmed for completion prior to the forthcoming Christmas shopping period 3.4 Apart from the works outlined in 3.3 above, and any health and safety issues which may subsequently arise, there are no current proposals to carry out any further works relating to Cambridge Arcade or Princess Diana Gardens. 3.5 Members may wish to consider providing funding from delegated Southport Area Committee budgets and / or to promote a bid for funding from the Council’s future capital allocations in order to further proposals for improvements at Cambridge Arcade or Princess Diana Gardens 3.6 If Committee wish to pursue the potential for further additional works, o it will be necessary to commission a feasibility study to identify the priority issues, the options of how to address these and their cost. It is estimated that the cost for feasibility works for Cambridge Arcade and Princess Diana Gardens is £7,500 and £10,000 respectively. Alan Lunt Director of the Built Environment .

  • Maghull High School Joining the Southport Learning Trust – DFE Case Study (February 2021) All To: Aspire, Achieve, Enjoy
    Maghull High School Joining The Southport Learning Trust – DFE Case Study (February 2021) All to: Aspire, Achieve, Enjoy Introduction Maghull High School is an oversubscribed average sized 11-18 comprehensive school with over 950 students on roll. The large majority of students are White British, with very small numbers of European, African, Asian and mixed heritage students. The school site is in Maghull; however, the school draws students from a wide and socio-economically highly diverse catchment from over 40 primary schools. Over 480 students live outside Sefton in four other local authorities, mainly in North Liverpool and Knowsley. A high proportion of students travel to school by public transport. 6% of the school population live within a 1-mile radius of the school. Attainment at entry is in line with national average. The percentage of disadvantaged students is slightly above the figure for other schools nationally. Retention in sixth form is positive, the majority of Year 11 students progress into our sixth form. Challenges of being a Single Academy Trust (SAT) Being a single academy trust can present a number of challenges. Sometimes you can feel quite isolated and vulnerable as a SAT; particularly SAT that ‘Requires Improvement’. The development, challenge and improvement in some areas of leadership and student outcomes can lack pace and rigour. SATs can lack critical friends and support and it can be difficult and expensive to source reliable and appropriate external support and expertise for key priority development areas. It can also be difficult to attract and recruit in subject shortage areas. As a SAT you have reduced bargaining and purchasing power and is difficult to achieve economies of scale.

  • Walking and Cycling Guide to Sefton’S Natural Coast
    Walking and Cycling Guide to Sefton’s Natural Coast www.seftonsnaturalcoast.com Altcar Dunes introduction This FREE guide has been published to encourage you to get out and about in Southport and Sefton. It has been compiled to help you to discover Sefton’s fascinating history and wonderful flora and fauna. Walking or cycling through Sefton will also help to improve your health and fitness. With its wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets, Southport makes a very convenient base. So make the most of your visit; stay over one or two nights and take in some of the easy, family-friendly walks, detailed in this guide. Why not ‘warm-up’ by walking along Lord Street with its shops and cafés and then head for the promenade and gardens alongside the Marine Lake. Or take in the sea air with a stroll along the boardwalk of Southport Pier before walking along the sea wall of Marine Drive to the Queen’s Jubilee Nature Trail or the new Eco Centre nearby. All the trails and walks are clearly signposted and suitable for all ages and abilities. However, as with all outdoor activities, please take sensible precautions against our unpredictable weather and pack waterproof clothing and wear suitable shoes. Don’t forget your sun cream during the Summer months. If cycling, make sure that your bike is properly maintained and wear a protective helmet at all times. It's also a good idea to include some food and drink in a small day-pack, as although re-fuelling stops are suggested on the listed routes, there is no guarantee that they will be open when you need them.

  • 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.
