26 TACKLING PHYSICAL INACTIVITY

The Committee received a detailed presentation from Active Cumbia regarding Tackling Physical Inactivity in both adults and children and young people.

Members discussed the importance of physical education in children and young people and felt there was a need for motivation and promotion of the benefits. Officers acknowledged this was key and felt there was a need to introduce behaviour change supported by campaigns. It was explained that Government had recently launched the Obesity Strategy which was supported by a Public Health campaign ‘Better Health’. It was noted that some resources were being seen locally and Active Cumbria together with the Authority’s Communications Team would promote this.

The Committee raised their concerns regarding a number of the statistics in the presentation. Officers explained that behaviour change was important to improve health and wellbeing and that children and families were being encouraged at an early age. Members felt there was a need to have a wide range of activities available to encourage and stimulate children and young people.

The Committee drew attention to activities within their divisions and asked whether there was sufficient funding and if there were funding streams which could be accessed by members. It was confirmed there was not sufficient funding and highlighted that schools were moving to the last year of their Primary School PE and Sport Premium which would result in further challenges in the future. Officers offered advice and support to members regarding future developments if they required it.

Members felt there was a need to focus on activities other than those sport-related and attention was drawn to the ‘Wildings Programme’ which encouraged the use of wild woodland facilities. The Senior Manager – Active Cumbria agreed to investigate this project further.

8 The Committee raised their concerns regarding obesity in children and young people and members asked for further information regarding outcomes and how health issues could be reduced in future. Members were informed a Carlisle Healthy Weight Partnership was to be created and Active Cumbria were actively supporting this with the key theme being tackling obesity.

The Local Committee was informed of the post COVID 19 5 Year Plan which was to build on strong foundations the existing 3 Year plan with more targeted approach to working with older adults whilst continuing to tackle stubborn inequalities and work in the poorest community and support the climate emergency agenda via active travel.

RESOLVED, that the update be noted.

27 PARKING SERVICES UPDATE

The Committee considered a report from the Executive Director – Economy and Infrastructure which detailed the activity of the Parking Team for the first five months of the financial year 2020/21. It was explained that much of that period was during the lockdown of the COVID 19 pandemic when proactive enforcement had been reduced. It was noted that the parking officers were redeployed to assist in local communities but enforcement had returned on a phased approach from June.

Members also received the Parking Annual Report for the financial year 2019/20 which gave a summary of parking activities during that year.

The Committee was pleased with the school parking initiatives but continued to raise their concerns regarding the safety of children outside schools due to inconsiderate parking; welcoming the presence of Civil Enforcement Officers to try and alleviate the problems. Members also highlighted issues regarding vehicles parked on dropped-kerbs outside residential properties close to schools, therefore, blocking entrances. Officers confirmed engagement did take place with the local Police regarding enforcement but highlighted resourcing issues.

A discussion took place regarding income and expenditure and members were informed that expenditure had increased due to the procurement of new equipment and the recruitment of three additional civil enforcement officers.

The Local Area Highways Network Manager confirmed that a number of elected members had raised issues in their divisions regarding on-street parking, therefore, a parking review report would be considered at the Carlisle Highways and Transport Working Group meeting scheduled for December 2020.

RESOLVED, that the report be noted.

9 28 AREA PLANNING REPORT

Members received a report from the Executive Director – Corporate, Customer and Community Services which provided members with recommendations and matters to note relating to budget commitments, grant allocations from the recommendations of its Strategic Grants Panel and other relevant matters relating to area planning.

The Committee noted that the emergency helpline established at the outset of the pandemic, primarily to help with urgent food and medicine needs for those required to shield had been stood down as of 31 August 2020 which meant that the Carlisle Hub had also stood down. It was explained that in the event of a future wave of infections or changes to national or local arrangements, those arrangements could be reconvened.

Members were informed that Cumbria County Council had been awarded a DEFRA Local Authority Emergency Assistance Grant for food and essential supplies, which translated to an amount of £77k for the Carlisle area. During the course of discussion it was confirmed that the funding was not available to fund salaries of staff.

The Committee was informed that during an informal meeting of the Local Committee on 7 August 2020, members had raised the issue of charities struggling through the pandemic especially through the lack of mass participation events, charity fundraisers and local collections. It was explained that a particular concern raised was the Hospice at Home Carlisle and North Lakeland which was struggling to provide its vital services.

Following discussion members had agreed to recommend that Carlisle Local Committee allocate a strategic grant of £10,000. It was noted that this would be matched from Carlisle City Council and could be used as the springboard for a local awareness raising campaign on the plight of charities at this time.

RESOLVED, that

(1) the following be noted:-

(a) the commitments made and the remaining balances within delegated budgets and the grants (as detailed in Appendix 1 of the report);

(b) the following grants made from Area Plan Budget (referred to in Appendix 2 of the report):-

(i) £2,600 to Journey to Justice Community Interest Organisation towards the Voices 4 Change project;

(ii) £2,000 to Carlisle Sub Aqua Club towards the cost of equipment;

10 (c) a grant of £1,000 made from the 0-19 Grant Funding to Gillford Park Football Club towards purchasing a storage container;

(2) a strategic grant of £10,000 to Carlisle and North Lakeland Hospice at Home be agreed.

29 2020/21 HIGHWAYS BUDGET/PROGRAMME PROGRESS REPORT

Members considered a report by the Executive Director – Economy and Infrastructure which presented the Highways Revenue, Devolved Capital and Non- Devolved Capital budget finance reports, combined with the highways programme progress information.

The Leader asked a question regarding the scheme on Upperby Road (Ridley Road to Embleton Road) and whether this had been carried forward as this was in place before the additional £2m pothole funding from Government. He also raised a question regarding the length of carriageway involved and the Local Area Highways Network Manager agreed to investigate the matter and respond direct.

During the course of discussion, whilst acknowledging the effects of COVID 19, concerns were raised regarding the works scheduled for November/December and asked whether officers were confident the works could be delivered during the winter months. The Local Area Highways Network Manager agreed that the Programme may need to be re-evaluated due to inclement weather but confirmed as much work as possible would be carried out to prevent funding being carried forward.

The local Member for Belah asked if the scheme for the Etterby Road slope stabilisation project had been removed from the programme due to land disagreement with Network Rail and whether it would be possible to investigate if it would be possible to reach an agreement to have the enforcement on the bank completed.

During the course of discussion further concerns were raised regarding the Etterby Road scheme and in particular costs which would be incurred by the County Council. The Local Area Highways Network Manager explained that there was agreement with Network Rail that this would be a shared approach and that a significant amount of the Infrastructure Recovery Programme funding had been allocated for the scheme, highlighting this would not be taken out of the Local Committee’s budget.

The Local Area Highways Network Manager had no further update but agreed to keep members updated in the future.

The local Member for Yewdale asked for further information regarding the location of the proposed scheme on Wigton Road. The Local Area Highways Network Manager agreed to investigate this matter further and report back direct.

11 The local Member for Botcherby asked for updates on Eastern Way Bridge, Botcherby Bridge and further information on timescales for proposed schemes. The Local Area Highways Network Manager agreed to investigate the matters and provide a response direct to the Member.

RESOLVED, that the following be noted:-

(1) the revenue and budget allocations for 2020/21 and the commitments and expenditure (as detailed in Appendices 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the report);

(2) the programme progress information (referred to in Appendices 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the report);

(3) the Highways Revenue budget has been split for use against various budget headings (referred to in Appendix 1 of the report);

(4) the Devolved Capital and Additional Devolved Capital budgets have been split for use against various budget headings (detailed in Appendices 2 and 4 of the report);

(5) Additional Capital allocations, devolved and non-devolved are no longer indicative values; the schemes listed are those being delivered.

30 HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORT WORKING GROUP

Members received a report from the Executive Director – Economy and Infrastructure which detailed the Special meeting of the Highways and Transport Working Group held on 27 August 2020 and presented its recommendations to the Local Committee for approval.

The Local Area Highways Network Manager informed the Committee that to date four responses had been received to the statutory consultation, however, the deadline was Friday 18 September 2020. Members, therefore, agreed that following conclusion of the consultation the decision to bring the proposals into operation be delegated to the Executive Director – Economy and Infrastructure in consultation with the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Local Committee.

RESOLVED, that the Local Committee agree, that if there are no unresolved representations to the restrictions (specified in paragraph 3.1 of the report), at the end of the statutory consultation and objection period, the decision to vary The County of Cumbria (Various Roads, Carlisle Urban and Rural Area) (Consolidation and Minor Amendment of Traffic Regulations) Order 2001 which would make the following changes:-

12 (i) removing the entry in Schedule XXX relating to Sewell Lane (formerly known as Sewells Lonning) in order to remove the existing section of One-Way traffic restriction (105m in length) thereby restoring two-way flow along its entire length; and

(ii) introducing a 7.5 Tonnes maximum gross vehicle weight restriction on the entire length of Sewell Lane;

be delegated to the Executive Director – Economy and Infrastructure in consultation with the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Local Committee.

31 MEMBER CHAMPION UPDATES

(1) Autism Champion

Members received a verbal update from the Autism Champion which highlighted the significant impact of COVID 19 on vulnerable people with autism and severe learning difficulties, together with their carers and families, explaining this had been isolating, disorientating and frightening. The Committee noted that due to their understood routines disappearing during the pandemic this had caused distress, and in some cases, challenging behaviours had developed which had ultimately affected their families. It was also explained that returning to ‘normality’ was also as equally traumatic for some individuals.

The Committee was informed that due to the significant challenges a number of requests for advice and support had been received and it was highlighted that a huge amount of this had been provided by the Third Sector, often through funding from the Authority .

Members noted that a number of organisations such as ‘Triple A, People First and Carlisle Mencap Family Support Service’ had offered support and advice. The provision of continued day services from third sector organisations such as The Heathlands Project during the pandemic was welcomed and the re-opening of County Council day services would be welcomed in the future.

The Autism Champion continued to support people with autism and their families and would provide a further update at a future meeting of the Committee.

(b) Children in Care Council Champion

Members received a verbal update report from the Children in Care Council Champion who had attended a number of virtual meetings during the pandemic highlighting the inclusion of Looked After Children in as many events as possible.

13 (c) Armed Forces Champion

The Committee received a verbal update from the Armed Forces Champion who explained that due to the current pandemic there had been very little activity. Members were informed that discussions were taking place regarding the Remembrance Day Service.

39 CARLISLE TOWNS DEAL

The Committee considered a report by the Executive Director – Economy and Infrastructure on Carlisle Town Deal.

Members noted that in September 2019 it was confirmed that Carlisle would be invited to put forward a Town Deal proposal valued at up to £25m to deliver economic growth. It was explained that the case for this investment would need to be articulated through an evidenced Town Investment Plan approved by the Town Deal Board.

The Committee was informed it was proposed that the Carlisle Town Investment Plan would be submitted at the end of October and projects proposed as part of the Town Deal submission were as follows:-

 Start with the Park at St Cuthbert’s Garden Village  Carlisle Southern Gateway (access and public realm improvements)  Digital community and learning hub (at the library)  Tullie House Museum  Lighting Up Carlisle (Events Infrastructure and Activities)  Citadels business incubation space  Carlisle Indoor Market.

Members were invited to provide feedback on the emerging Town Investment Plan and the key proposals within it. Agreement was also sought to the provision of a letter of support for the Town Deal submission which would be made by Carlisle City Council as accountable body for the Town Deal. The Town Investment Plan was currently being finalised ahead of submission by the end of October.

During the course of discussion officers confirmed that Carlisle City Council was the responsible accountable body for the Deal and will have the agreement with the Government for delivery of the programme. It was explained they would be working with partners regarding a number of funding agreements for individual projects within the Deal which would be delivered by Carlisle City Council, Cumbria County Council and other third party organisations.

16 The local Member for Botcherby drew attention to the increasing number of small businesses which had closed in Carlisle town centre and raised his concerns at the lack of inclusion of support for them in the final submission.

Members were informed of the longlisting process which had been undertaken to achieve a shortlist, highlighting that one of the suggestions had been to have a grant programme for businesses but explained this that had not been selected to take forward on the basis that potentially other funding sources would be available and concern about eligibility of the proposal for Towns Funding.

Officers explained the Business Incubation Centre had been identified to sit alongside the University to provide a stronger role in supporting the development of the skills within the existing business community and also to provide space to allow small and new businesses to co-locate, therefore, the Citadel project had been seen as a priority for the shortlist.

The Committee welcomed the schemes and highlighted in particular the potential for the Citadel, English Street and Devonshire Street when combined with Borderlands. During the course of discussion the local Member for Yewdale raised a concern regarding the position of universities due to the current COVID pandemic and whether this would help to meet their demands.

Members were informed that the University of Cumbria was in the process of preparing additional information to help understand the impact of the pandemic. It was explained they were performing well and their strategy was not to be entirely dependent on under-graduates.

During the course of discussion members highlighted that post-graduate degrees had not been offered in the past, therefore, it was felt important for businesses and communities to take advantage of this. Officers suggested that further information regarding the University of Cumbria and the Citadel project be discussed at a future meeting of the Committee.

A discussion then took place regarding the ‘Vision’ and it was felt Carlisle was central to the economic future and prosperity with the hope that everyone countywide would agree to it. Officers explained that from a Cumbria countywide and Cumbria LEP perspective the role of Carlisle was recognised whilst acknowledging the challenges around each district having an interest in their own locality.

The Committee asked if it was anticipated that the current Archive Centre would close and officers confirmed this would still be located on the present site but would be strengthened with enhanced digital facilities being made available in the town centre.

RESOLVED, that a letter of support for the Carlisle Town Deal submission and that delegation is given to the Major Programmes Director in consultation with the Chair of the Local Committee to provide the letter following approval of the final Town Investment Plan by the Town Deal Board.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS

2.1 The items covered by this report support the council to achieve the outcomes stated in the Council Plan 2018-2022:  People in Cumbria are healthy and safe  Places in Cumbria are well-connected and thriving  The economy in Cumbria is growing and benefits everyone 2.2 The items covered by this report support Carlisle Local Committee to achieve its agreed priorities of:  Developing our economy and infrastructure  Improving health and wellbeing  Improving outcomes for children and young people  Developing thriving communities 2.3 Improved locality working is one of the ways the council is delivering on its priorities. The county council vision, included in the Council Plan 2018-2022, sets out that it will be ‘A Council that works with residents, businesses, communities and other organisations to deliver the best services possible within the available resources.’ The approach and work of the Local Committee directly contributes to this vision.

41 2.4 Locally devolved funding is available for Carlisle Local Committee to allocate within the area to support positive outcomes, targeted and mainstream, designed to improve outcomes for the communities of Carlisle. This funding can be targeted to initiate new activity or to enhance/complement existing provision according to locally determined need. 2.5 A separate Equality Impact Assessment is not required for this report since equality issues are dealt with at a project level for each of the applications to funding within the course of the year.

42 4.0 BACKGROUND

Community Budget 4.1 A summary of spending against Local Committee discretionary/ budgets is provided at Appendix 1. Further details can be provided to councillors on request. Monitoring reports will be provided to local committee members at each committee meeting, to summarise the most up to date position with regard to the Communities Budget, taking account of decisions taken by the Local Committee. Further information concerning spending against the spending from the discretionary grants budget lines is available from the Carlisle Community Development Team and reported to the grants panel as required. Local Committee Strategic Grants Panel 4.2 Attached at Appendix 2 and 3 are summaries of the Area Planning and 0-19 grant applications considered by the Strategic Grants Panel at its meeting on 15th October 2019 and its recommendations. Further information can be made available to any councillor on request. Members are also asked to note the return of £4,680 from the earmarked the 0-19 summer activities budget of £18,000 back into the general 0-19 budget Area Planning and Communities Virement of School Crossing Patrol Budget 4.3 Members are recommended to agree to vire a projected underspend of £24,065 from the School Crossing Patrol Budget into the Area Planning Budget. This underspend has arisen from a number of medium to long term unfilled vacancies which are unlikely to be filled in the remainder of this financial year. Town Deal Submission 4.4 Following agreement on 16th October Carlisle Town Deal proposals have been submitted with a County Council letter of support in line with the requirements of MHCLG. Members will be kept informed of the next steps as they emerge. The letter of support from the Chair of Local Committee is attached at appendix 5. DEFRA Grant 4.5 Members were advised at the September Committee meeting that Cumbria County Council was awarded a DEFRA Local Authority Emergency Assistance Grant for Food and Essential Supplies, which translated to an amount of £77k for the Carlisle area. 4.6 Grants were awarded through local teams with Chair and Vice Chair of Local Committee agreeing grants under £5000 in conjunction with the Area Manager. This grant has enabled the development of Affordable Food projects which is a long standing aim agreed by Local Committee earlier this year before the current pandemic and facilitated through the community development team. This has supported households to move from free food, towards contributing an affordable amount towards a range of balanced and nutritional food.

43 4.7 From the initial allocation of nearly £77,065 over £71,000 has been allocated towards projects working in communities across Carlisle and District to support residents identified as being most in need. The funding window is almost concluded and a future report will provide more details on these projects outcomes, and how they are progressing to meet local needs in relation to food and essential items. A table advising on projects and amounts allocated is attached at appendix 6 4.8 Wraparound Provision and Positive Activities for children and young people The Community Development Team has been working closely with partners on resilience and recovery work since July which has highlighted a growing need for holiday provision and a genuine willingness amongst organisations to work in partnership. 4.9 The notes of the most recent meeting of the group overseeing the work are attached at appendix 7 and give a flavour of the discussions. This sets the scene for a more detailed paper which can come to January’s meeting to show all the work that has been done over the holidays (inc. summer 2020), the needs & issues, and recommendations on future funding.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 Members may review and evaluate the recommendations 3.1 to 3.3 and 3.6. Members may choose to approve vary or reject the recommendations at 3.4 and 3.5. Members may wish to comment on other aspects contained within the report.

6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1 The Local Committee’s Communities budget is summarised in Appendix 1 to this report. There are currently unallocated resources totalling £216,255. 6.2 Should recommendation 3.2. be agreed, £11,467 will be committed from the Area Planning budget, leaving unallocated resources of £24,915. 6.3 Should recommendation 3.3. be agreed, a net amount of £2,877 will be returned to the 0-19 Services budget, as the amount of £605 to the Blue Owls Project has already been paid, leaving unallocated resources of £63,115 in this budget. 6.4 Should recommendation 3.4. be agreed, £9,000 will be committed from the 0-19 Services budget, reducing unallocated resources in this budget to £54,115. 6.5 Should recommendation 3.5. be agreed, the forecast underspend of £24,065 on the School Crossing Patrols budget will be vired to the Area Planning budget. The School Crossing Patrols budget will then be forecast to be balanced and the available resources in the Area Planning budget will increase to £48,980.

44 7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1 Recommendations 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 are all items for members to note. There are, therefore, no direct legal implications. 7.2 In respect of recommendation 3.4 it is a proper decision for members under paragraph 5.12(d) part 2D constitution to approve, in line with the Local Committee’s grant award policy, the application for a grant of £9000 from its 0-19 grants fund to Carlisle Eden MIND towards the costs of delivering 'Coaches in Mind'. 7.3 In relation to the recommendation at 3.5, FR2 rule 10.1, part 5G constitution provides that Local Committee may transfer budgets over the various services within its delegated responsibility, within the limitations of the guidance issued by Cabinet. Full Council considered the ‘Draft Revenue Budget 2020/21 and Medium-Term Financial Plan (2020-2025) and Draft Capital Programme (2020-2025)’ Report on 13 February 2020 which confirms at paragraph 6.51 that there is flexibility on the use of the Schools Crossing Patrols allocation. 7.4 Recommendation 3.6 is also an item for members to note. There are, therefore, no direct legal implications.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 This report provides Local Committee with an update on its budget position, its grant allocations and other related Area Planning issues.

APPLICATION REPORT

Application Summary This funding is towards the costs of delivering 'Coaches in Mind', which is a one to one service offered across Secondary school aged children in Carlisle over the first pilot year. It is a high quality local support service to young people offering support in both the immediate future and longer term to allow young people the best chance to readjust, find resilience and thrive in our 'new normal'. The project Offers online mental health therapeutic coaching to young people between the age of 13-18yrs [Y8- Y13] across a 6-8 week course. (This woudl ususally be face to face but is online to resepect CV19 health and safety guidance).

The Young people will receive confidential one to one coaching through supported online therapeutic and psycho-education programs. Used as early intervention young people would have a space for thinking and feeling better, when anxiety, stress or low mood is becoming a limiting factor in their life. With support from their personal coach, the online program would take a young person through their allocated course e.g. ‘dealing with anxiety’, ‘dealing with stress’ or improving resilience.

Through this service a young person would be assigned a trained coach from Carlisle Eden Mind and guided through the online program content over several weeks. Following their initial in person meeting with their coach, they will receive regular weekly coaching sessions and encouragement from their named coach, whilst accessing the online support. This builds up a trusting and supporive relationship. Because the service works in partnrship with secondary schools we know it will be accessed by the young peopls who most need it and would most benefit from it. The success of the service will be that these young people will have developed skills and coping strategies which they can use to support their own mental health and wellbeing long term.

Key Themes Met This application supports the priorities of Carlisle Local Committee Area plan, specifically "Raising mental health by improving mental wellbeing of children and young people". It compliments the work of CAMHS and initiatives promoted through Public Health.

Previous CCC Funding £9,000 from Eden Local Committee

Grant Amount Recommended £9,000

Officer comments This application directly supports one of the Local Committe area plan priorities to tackle mental health and improve wellbeing in young people. The Children and Young Peoples Working group have also recommended that the application be supported at their meeting, in part because of the positive feedback of previous work with young people delivered by the same organisation. There is currently an additional strain on mental health services for children and young people and projects like this one can help in reducing this pressure on main stream services, by providing an early intervention and providing life long coping and resilience skills and strategies. Any funding allocated by carlisle lcoal committee will only be spent in the Carlisle area, so an award of £9,000 will enable 150 young people to access this support.

Dear Emma

Carlisle Town Investment Plan I write to confirm the support of the Cumbria County Council Local Committee for Carlisle for the submission of the Carlisle Town Investment Plan for the consideration of the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. The development of this plan and the investments within it, present a real opportunity for Carlisle, helping to further develop its role as a key engine of the economy of the north and wider Borderlands region; where people wish to live, work and visit; and where residents can take advantage of opportunities that arise. This strategy set out in the Town Investment Plan is right for the City and will enable us to capitalise on major investment moving forward at Carlisle Station and Citadels, through the Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal, together with delivery of St Cuthbert’s Garden Village and the Carlisle Southern Link Road. Within the Town Deal there are a number of key projects that would be delivered on County Council assets and the public highway, including the Southern Gateway, Citadels Business Infrastructure, Lighting up Carlisle and the Digital Community Learning Hub. These are important elements of the strategy and we would look forward to continuing positive working with the Town Deal Board and Carlisle City Council in ensuring their effective development and delivery. May I wish you every success with the Town Deal submission.

Yours sincerely

Cyril Weber Chair Carlisle Local Committee

The organisation has been supporting residents during the emergency period of the Coronavirus, and through the recovery and beyond. The group have especially focused on practical support meeting the most important and basic needs of residents who have been identified as being most in need.

Brampton Area Action Group (BAAG) BAAG is a new voluntary group comprising of partner £ 10,000.00 £ 9,000.00 PAID agencies working in collaboration from Brampton and the surrounding rural areas to the East of Carlisle; this includes Brampton Parish Council, Brampton & Beyond Community Trust, Brampton Methodist Church and Brampton Churches Together. The organisation has developed in order to meet the emergency needs of people in the local community. This includes emergency food needs, hot meals *through the SHINE project), shopping support,

57 pharmacy pick ups and emotional support for people who had no one else to turn too. The project has supported a large amount of households, with over 6,000 food parcels and hot meals. This includes a packed lunch project to support children who have not had access to free school meals through this period of time. Funding for these projects included accessing a grant from DEFRA which contributed over £8,500 to support the project to distribute emergency food parcels over the past 9 weeks. This application is towards a similar amount of funding from the Carlisle Local Committee DEFRA grant. Which would be specifically used towards the costs for Affordable Food which would help move people from free emergency food parcels towards accessing more affordable food. This project links in with the Affordable Food Hub network that is developing across the Carlisle area Carlisle Community Help Group- This is a not for profit organisation working to support £ 13,000.00 13000 the residents of Carlisle during the emergency period of the Coronavirus, and through the recovery and beyond. The group have especially focused on practical support meeting the most important and basic needs of residents who have been identified as being most in need. This includes delivering over 7,000 amount of emergency food parcels and packed lunches across the Carlisle district. Funding for these projects included accessing a grant from DEFRA which contributed over £13,000 to support the project to distribute emergency food parcels over the past 9 weeks. This application is towards a similar amount of funding from the Carlisle Local Committee DEFRA grant. Which would be specifically used towards the costs for developing Affordable Food which would help move people from free emergency food parcels towards accessing more affordable food. This project links in with the Affordable Food Hub network that is developing across the Carlisle area (see attached Affordable Food Hub Document) and this organisation has developed an accessible approach to food hubs which supports local distribution hubs, as well as an online click and collect type service for people not able to access hubs. This application is towards the costs of food only, to be distributed through Affordable Food 58 Hubs

Citizens Advice Carlisle & Eden (CACE) Grant Application towards the costs of supplying £ 5,000.00 £ 5,000.00 paid emergency items to people most in need. These items will be specifically ‘white goods’ essential home items such as Fridge/freezer, cooker, microwave Elim Community Church (Oasis Food Elim church have always worked to support people in £ 23,037.00 £ 5,000.00 Passed for payment Pantry) most need and part of this included providing affordable food through The Oasis Cafe serving home made meals. However the restrictions of the CV19 guidance limited the amount of support that could be given to people in the physical space available, so in the meantime the organisation have developed a food pantry, and hope to re-open the cafe alongside this as restrictions lift in 2021. The Food Pantry enables people to access a range of affordable food which they can use throughout the week and it links in with other national and local affordable food projects. The new Oasis Food Pantry aims to provide an affordable bag of food to those who would not qualify for the Food Bank service of free food. There is an expected increasing number of people who may need additional support in the future, as a result of changing circumstances. This could be as a result of changing employment roles, end of furlough schemes, increasing costs on households, repaying loans, which all contribute to the financial pressures families and households are under. Being able to access affordable

59 food will help in alleviating this pressure and give households a chance to get back on their feet. The LookOut: Carlisle City West This is a new not for profit organistion setting up in £ 5,000.00 £ 5,000.00 awaiting more information the former community shop on Shadygrove Road. The LookOut is develpoing a community hub/cafe in the former shop site working with local residents of the Raffles area to deliver a safe community centre space that they can meet in, access support, advice and guidance as well as a range of activities identified through the community consultation currently taking place. The Raffles area has not had a community based hub/project since November 2019 and this was acutely felt through the Lockdown period and the continuing responses to the CV19 Pandemic. The lack of a locally based project meant that support often came from other areas of the City, and while this was welcomed, it identifiied the need for a locally led and neighbourhood based hub which is now 'The LookOut'. The first project The LookOut want to deliver to the local community is an Affordable Food Hub. The group have been working and learning from other food projects and with the Affordable Food Hub Network on what this means and are going to partner with Carlisle Community Help project to be their local Hub in the Raffles area. Over 50 households have been accessing free food parcels through lockdown from local groups, these households (and more) are still looking at accessing affordable food. This funding 60 would be used for food to be accessed by households in the Raffles area who are facing financial difficulty as a result of responses to tackling CV19 such as ending CornerStones Cornerstones is a not for profit community cafe run by £ 5,000.00 £ 5,000.00 passed for payment volunteers to provide an accessible space in the heart of the Denton Holme community for people of all ages and backgrounds to come along and access affordable food and drink. The cafe also provides a place for information and signposting on a range of issues including finance management, Credit Unions, Citizens Advice Bureau. It also delivers workshops on a range of topics including job searching, employability skills and household budgeting. The main draw to access this range of support is the quality of drinks and snacks that the Cafe offers. This funding is towards making things more affordable to people who have been identified as being most in need. This would include households who are having financial difficulty as a result of changes in circumstances due to the implications of CV19 virus. These households would be signposted by various agencies including Adult Social care, CAB, schools and self referrals where appropriate. Those who can afford to pay full price for the meals will continue to do so which will help the long term sustainability of the project. Cornerstone

61 cafe also run a food bank service and some of this funding will be used to support the households who have accessed this. In September this service supported 60 people through 25 parcels. Little Luvs Nursery Little Luvs Nursery is a community not for profit £ 1,300.00 £ 1,300.00 Passed for payment nursery based at the Petteril Bank site. The nursery with Petteril Bank Primary School & PTA work very closely to support local children and families. They wish to apply for a DEFRA grant towards purchasing food to help local families, do cooking activities and re- start the school breakfast club. Little Luvs have been running a food table for families to access using food from FareShare which is often supplemented with supermarket food. Since the nursery returned after lockdown, there has been an increased need from many families and those with siblings at the school. FareShare food is also used in the nursery to do cooking activities. The school breakfast club will be open by invite only at the moment to those needing the club (mx 10) to support working parents (especially key workers). There will be a nominal charge to keep the breakfast club affordable to working families, this will also ensure the club can continue running once the grant has been spent. The school & nursery have good support from local companies i.e. Cavaghan and Grey, they will be approached to help as well as exploring national schemes such as Greggs or Kellogs. Local knowledge is key, staff are aware of which families would benefit from additional support. By working closely with all 62 the partners on the site (children's centre, community centre and community cafe) this will help ensure families most in need can access support. Working Friends of Bishop Harvey Goodwin The Friends of Bishop Harvey Goodwin is a voluntary £ 1,300.00 £ 1,300.00 Passed for payment group made up of staff, parents and carers. One of the projects they run with the school is a community hub with a food pantry for families to access affordable food from FareShare which is often supplemented with supermarket food. Families pay with a suggested donation and can choose usually up to five items. The community hub also has an affordable uniform shop and toy/book shop and this is all run in a separate community building on the school site. However since August the community hub and pantry has stopped due to the increase pressure with making the school site safe with COVID restrictions. The group needs a DEFRA grant to help purchase food from FareShare and local supermarkets to re-open the community hub and food pantry. The school have identified an increased need for affordable food from families they support. The school now have 50% families with Pupil Premium, due to covid pandemic they wish to reach out to those families who are just recently experiencing problems as they often come under the radar but are nonetheless struggling on a day to day

From talking to parents/carers they say there is a growing need for emergency and affordable food support for families experiencing financial hardship as a result of changes in employment and reduced income.

This is just being developed by the community centre but will involve food being charged at an affordable rate with each bag having a variety of food in (supporting national healthy meal guidance). Customers would register as members and have opportunity to chose a variety of different types of food supplementing there household provision. This project will continue to use fare share food but will supplement this food with items from local shops so as to provide a more rounded food offer. The people accessing the provision would either be signposted from organisations like carlisle food bank or would be self referrals and register with us as needing this additional support through financial difficulty/other reasons. Carlisle Key DEFRA grant funding of £1,950 is needed towards £ 5,130.00 £ 1,950.00 £1000 from Covid Passed for payment purchasing food. Funding would be used By Carlisle 19 Budget Carlisle Key in three ways to benefit vulnerable young people; Local Committee 1) Stock up foodbank for emergency food parcels 2) help towards costs of food to run a a weekly cooking workshop 3) Provide healthy food in the accommodation and drop-in centre. This currently costs Carlisle Key around £75 per week and has been funded solely by cash donations. However, the cash donations have not been as high this year because of Covid-19 so this funding will prevent a reduction in this offer. Carlisle Key no longer get donated food from Greggs because they wish to promote a healthier life style. They do cooking workshops in their new accommodation to help teach new skills and confidence in how to cook delicious healthy food on a budget. Carlisle Key is a registered charity who works with young people who have complex needs (need support with mental and physical health, substance misuse issues and tackling offending behaviour). In 2019, 286 young people used the drop-in services, with 45% being at risk of homelessness, 45% were single and homeless (have no fixed address), 5% were rough sleeping and 5% were homeless families with dependents. This year with Covid-19, Carlisle Key report a shift in the client base and their needs and 64 the service has worked with 189 young people. Since lockdown, 14% of the young people have been sleeping rough, 14% have been homeless families, Pennine Way Primary School PTA DEFRA grant funding is needed by Pennine Way £ 1,300.00 £ 1,300.00 Passed for payment primary PTA to help pay for weekly FareShare food and supermarket food as over the past few months there has been an increase of need. The school with help from community centre and PTA run the weekly FareShare and is the community hub for local organisations/ groups to pick up FareShare orders. Throughout the COVID pandemic the school which has 501 children has seen an increase of need from local families, who are struggling with economic hardship. This includes families whose 140 children receive free school meals as well as 48 newly identified vulnerable children. Over the summer holidays the PTA helped provide 55 weekly food parcels for families and estimate through FareShare they help 105 families every week. They would like to develop an affordable food model with the community centre to support families and reduce a reliance on free food but are at early stages, so linking with local FareShare / Food groups and the affordable food hub group will help develop a local model that fits the needs of local families. The PTA and community centre also offer a

65 food table / pantry where local people and families can access food and leave a donation if they can. Community centre users, and families of the 501 children on the school roll, potentially benefit from this and the school has identified an increase of need from local families, who are struggling with economic Meals on Wheels Mealshardship On and Wheels the impact (MOW) of need Covid19. funding This towards includes £ 5,368.00 £ 3,888.00 Passed for payment upgrading the kitchen at their new premises on Shady Grove Road. They have been temporarily operating the service from Botcherby Community Centre since lockdown in March 2020 but have recently acquired these new premises from Carlisle City Council. The building has needed some additional works, including the kitchen facilities. The funding will be used towards upgrading the kitchens and new cookers. Having their own building for the first time, will offer MOW some stability and enable the project to increase its service. Meals on Wheels provide over 350 meals per week and its service is expected to increase. Many households who receive meals have been referred by social services, council emergency hub and community groups Petteril Bank School Parents Group (PTA) wish to apply £ 5,260.00 £ 5,000.00 Awaiting DEFRA panel for a DEFRA grant for funding towards a cold room for the school kitchen and community cafe at the Petteril Bank site. The current cold room was recently inspected by engineers who were due to service it, they advised the cold room is beyond economical repair due to condition and parts no longer available. The cold room is currently struggling to stay at a legal temperature and is now not fit for purpose and urgently needs replacing. The cold room is an essential item for the school and the whole Petteril Bank site (community cafe, children's centre, nursery, community centre) and the cafe provides all the school meals. Petteril Bank area is ranked highest in the indices of deprivation for Carlisle. The school is aware of a growing number of families facing economic hardship due to the pandemic and changes in personal circumstances, During lockdown with help from the community centre, local volunteers delivered a total of 7500 hot meals to children on free school meals and children whose families were experiencing food poverty due to covid19 pandemic. The numbers of covid cases locally are rising and there is a likelihood the delivery of hot meals will be needed again so it is essential the school has a working cold room. Unfortunately the school does not have funds 66 Petteril Bank Primary School Parent to replace the cold room so the PTA are trying to help Group raise funds.

Wraparound Provision and Positive Activities for children and young people 8th October 2020 4pm meeting on MS Teams

Present: County Council staff: Rhian Davies (Community Development Team), City Council: Jeannie Pasley (Health & Wellbeing), Youth & Community Work Providers: Sophie Smith (Carlisle Diocese), Carol Bell (BAAG), Samantha Tranter (AONB Fellfoot Forward), Ruth Hutchinson (Carlisle Diocese Network Youth Officer – Brampton) Botcherby Community centre – Helen Fisher, Family Action: Glena Malin, GLL: Guy Thompson, Active Cumbria: Aileen Grant, Ican Fitness – Julia Clifford

Apologies: Niall McNulty (Community Development Team), Lesley Sanczuk (Children’s Services), Tim Linford (Morton CC), Sue Blair (Pennine Way), Ed Snoxell (Multi-Sports), Tom Rice & Michael Barnes (GLL), Emma Thorburn (Brampton Community Centre)

Background to meeting – the following current and pressing issues have been identified for children and young people in the local area:

1. Positive Activities for children and young people over school holidays 2. Food provision for children and young people who do not meet the requirements for free school meals but whose household circumstances have changed

1. Additional updates for October activities – See updated table for information - please get in touch with Rhian with any updates for October half term by Friday 16th October at latest

AONB Fellfoot Forward – invite to all local youth groups to take advantage of booking a session of free activities/transport to Talkin Tarn during October half-term. –

Guided walk from Brampton station to Talkin and pebble painting for up 2 youth groups (8 kids max). We’re envisaging the groups would get train from Carlisle. Ideally targeting young people who have very limited opportunity to travel outside of their immediate area/ access the natural environment. Session about 1 1/2hrs (not including travel time). Need 2 leaders to accompany them. Myself and my colleague would deliver sessions. The Fellfoot Forward LPS has funding to cover cost of train travel (or minibus). Led by the North Pennines AONB Partnership, the Fellfoot Forward Landscape Partnership scheme is a major project that will conserve, enhance and celebrate the natural and cultural heritage of a special part of the North West of England. The project has been awarded funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and will run from 2020 to 2024. If interested please contact Sam directly

2. Suggestions for group - see attached updated document. All agreed to look and add/amend to agree at next meeting. This working group is likely to be a long term, with a 3- 5year plan for Carlisle to develop provision and bring providers together. The benefits of this approach would be:

67 • Strategically plan variety of high quality holiday provision (positive activities) with a variety of providers across Carlisle District • Identify groups of need that may need support to access and develop ways to enable access onto schemes • Identify geographic areas of need with no or lack of provision • Joint publicity to make it easy for key works, schools, families to access information • Shared resources, information, COVD guidance & RAs, shared facilities • Secure funding together instead of being in competition • Link with affordable food schemes to ensure high quality food can be accessed for those in need Funding for schemes was discussed as joint funding bid would be useful for this group to access for holiday provision. County and City Council funding would also be needed along with match funders – Rhian and Jeannie to look at. Suggestion to invite Abigail Roberts, funding officer for city council to a meeting to discuss funding options – Jeannie to invite. Community Centre Federation made offer to put a future bid in if it helped, as group of community centres had put in joint bids and looked better to funders doing things in partnership. 3) Barriers to participation / Referrals

• Sharing information as early as possible about schemes • Children’s services / Family Action will share publicity with families they support • Identified ‘extra’ hand holding is needed to ensure families who need it most can access provision • One form idea – may help reduce barriers. Community centre cluster group gave example of benefits of using one form for four centres playscheme provision over summer 2019, meant families could visit any of these centre sand book on any of their schemes. Agreed this is an option to explore for this group. • Affordable provision across city • Referrals needed from childrens services, schools etc

ACTIONS:

• Providers to send details to Rhian for October half term provision by Friday 16th October • Rhian to arrange next meeting before October half term • Suggested aims/name of group/objectives to be updated and ALL to look/amend etc for next meeting • Rhian / Jeannie to look at funding options for a long-term support • Jeannie to invite Abigail to meeting • Jeannie/Julia (ican) to look at WOW visiting Brampton in half term

Next meeting on MS Teams: choice of dates to be circulated

8 CUMBRIA TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN

Members received a presentation on the Cumbria Transport Infrastructure Plan (CTIP) which highlighted:

 that transport was at the heart of successful places whilst acknowledging the challenges presented a diverse picture;

93  some of the key characteristics of the Local Industrial Strategy which must be taken into account;

 transport in Cumbria which needed to support vibrant town centre and local economies and consider how transport could be decarbonised in local areas;

 the changing transport environment in recent years;

 strategic road and rail priorities;

 emerging aims and key objectives of the CTIP;

 the development of Plan.

In conclusion members were informed of the future timescales which included finalisation in Spring 2021 with approval in Summer 2021.

Members welcomed the update and asked how the outcome from the Local Cycling and Walking Initiative Plans (LCWIPs) would fit into this and how they would receive funding. The Working Group was informed that one of the three emerging objective of the CTIP was a Clean and Healthy Cumbria, of which cycling and walking was a key element. With regards to funding, it was explained that the six main urban areas of the county would set out 10 year plans for cycling and walking in LCWIPs and that the LCWIPs would be needed to apply for funding from the Government’s £2 billion funding pot for investment in cycling and walking.

During the course of discussion officers confirmed that the provision of charging points for electric cars would be included in the Strategy.

It was agreed that any further feedback from members should be made direct to Nicola Parker by Friday 16 October.

9 UPCOMING CARLISLE PROJECTS - DRAFT MATERIALS PALETTES

Members received a briefing note from the Executive Director – Economy and Infrastructure which provided an update on several projects ongoing in Carlisle at present that were likely to impact areas of Carlisle which were maintained by the County Council or third parties such as the City Council, Network Rail etc.

The Working Group was informed that to assist in the development of those projects and to help estimate the funding requirements, four draft complimentary material palettes were being developed with the City Council and would form the basis of advice to consultants and architects who were developing design proposals for those city centre areas.

94 The local Member for Yewdale welcomed the report but raised his concerns regarding the use of small blocks in secondary areas. He felt that these could potentially cause a trip hazard and did not have the same professional visual appearance as other surface dressings and, therefore, suggested that this be reconsidered.

The local Member for Harraby North asked what agreements there were with utility companies to ensure they replaced footways with similar materials following any works undertaken. The Local Highways Network Manager highlighted the importance of managing utility reinstatement and confirmed he would be seeking advice from other officers regarding enforcement for inclusion in the document.

The local Member for Botcherby asked for further information and a larger map regarding the proposed schemes.

10 2020/21 HIGHWAY PROJECTS UPDATE REPORT

Members received a report by the Executive Director – Economy and Infrastructure which presented an overview of Highway Infrastructure Projects in Carlisle.

The Manager of Flood and Development Management confirmed there would be greater interaction with members in the future and would include information regarding areas considered as hot spot.

The local Member for Botcherby raised his concerns regarding drainage issues and flooding on Warwick Road and asked if this was on the list of proposed schemes. The Manager of Flood and Development Management informed the Working Group there had been no further incidents in the area since the last time this had been investigated but agreed to meet the local Member to discuss this matter further.

Flood and Development Management Team 4.9 The Flood and Development Management Team responds on behalf of the County Council as a consultee to the Local / County Planning Authorities planning applications as the:-

o Local Highway Authority o Lead Local Flood Authority o Education Authority 4.10 The County Council wishes for the residents of Cumbria to benefit from the facilities and homes that new development can create. Nonetheless it will be important that new development does not overburden the infrastructure and services that are important to communities. In cases where these cannot accommodate the impact of new development, planning obligations are an important mechanism through which appropriate compensation/mitigation can be secured. They achieve this by allowing a local planning authority to secure contributions towards the provision of local infrastructure and services, when without this additional provision, the proposed development would be unacceptable in planning terms. 4.11 The County Council also has responsibilities relating to surface water management. If the County Council considers that a proposal would require mitigation that cannot be provided on site, the County Council would seek an appropriate contribution to provide such necessary infrastructure off site. 4.12 The infrastructure projects listed in appendix 2 are related to the work of the Flood and Development Management team in the Carlisle Local Committee Area.

100 Capital Programme Team 4.13 The Capital Programme team is responsible for the delivery of the council’s £100m+ annual capital programme, which supports every one of the council’s front-line services and back office functions. Once project funding has been confirmed and included in the Capital Programme, the team delivers projects for all directorates. 4.14 The infrastructure projects listed in Appendix 3 are related to highway projects delivered by the Capital Programme Team in the Carlisle Local Committee Area.

2020/21 HIGHWAYS BUDGET / PROGRAMME PROGRESS REPORT

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 This report presents the Highways Revenue, Devolved Capital and Non-Devolved Capital Budget finance reports, combined with the highways programme progress information, as detailed in the attached appendices.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS

2.1 This Committee’s devolved 2020/21 Cash Limited Budget was determined by the County Council on 13 February 2020. The Local Committee is able to vire funding between budget lines during the course of the financial year, subject to Corporate Policy and Service Standards. The Committee is not able to vire funding from capital budgets into revenue budgets. 2.2 The allocated Highways Revenue budget for 2020/21 is £1,366,694. The available budget has been increased due to the underspend of £8,791 in 2019/20. The available Highways REVENUE budget for 2020/21 is therefore £1,375,485. 2.3 The allocated Devolved Highways Capital budget for 2020/21 is £3,290,000. The available budget has been increased due to the slippage of £53,975 in 2019/20. (The slippage will deliver the two postponed schemes. Namely the drainage work in Crosby-on-Eden (est. £15,975) and footway works at the Civic Centre (est. £38,000). The available Devolved Highways CAPITAL budget for 2020/21 is therefore £3,343,975. 2.4 The Non-devolved Highways CAPITAL budget for 2020/21 is £1,470,460.

117 2.5 The Highways Devolved (ADDITIONAL) CAPITAL budget for 2020/21 is £1,704,658. 2.6 The Highways Non-devolved Highways (ADDITIONAL) CAPITAL budget is £1,610,500.

CARLISLE HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORT WORKING GROUP

Meeting date: 8 October 2020

From: Executive Director – Economy and Infrastructure

DRAFT CARLISLE HIGHWAYS REVENUE BUDGET 2021/2022

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 This report sets out the draft 2021/2021 highway maintenance revenue budget for the Carlisle Local Committee. 1.2 The draft 2020/2021 highways revenue budget allocation to the Carlisle Local Committee is expected to be £1,366,694. This is the same as the 2014/15, 2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20 and the 2020/21 allocation. 1.3 The Highways and Transportation Working Group is requested to note and recommend that Local Committee agree and keep under review the distribution of resources among the budget headings within the Highway Maintenance Revenue Budget.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS

2.1 The Working Group is asked to recommend that Local Committee agree and keep under review the draft 2021/2022 highway maintenance revenue budget allocations. 2.2 It is anticipated that the County Council will confirm the devolved highways revenue budget allocations for 2021/2021 in February 2021 and a further report will be presented after this date to confirm the allocation to the Carlisle Local Committee. 2.3 Effective and efficient maintenance of the highway network underpins all of the County Council’s corporate strategies. 2.4 There are no equality implications arising out of this report.

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 That the Highways and Transportation Working Group recommend that Local Committee agree and keep under review the draft 2021/2022 devolved highways revenue maintenance budget allocations for 2021/2022 as detailed in Appendix 1 to this report.

137 4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 In February the County Council approve the revenue budget for the financial year ahead, and the distribution of this budget to each local committee. This report considers the highways element of the local committee’s revenue budget and proposes appropriate allocations for expenditure at a detailed level. 4.2 The 2021/2022 highway revenue allocation for Carlisle is expected to be the same as the allocation for previous few years (£1,366,694). 4.3 It is recommended that the revenue budget is sub-divided into the following heading: Highways Maintenance. This will cover the routine and day-to-day work of the Highways teams and will be used to keep the highway network in a safe and useable condition, and includes such work as repairs to potholes and other minor defects on carriageways, footways, kerbs and highway verges, minor drainage work and repairs to cutting and embankment slopes, repairs to, and cleaning of non-illuminated traffic signs. Lighting Maintenance. This will cover the routine inspection (undertaken in the hours of darkness), maintenance and repairs to Carlisle Area stock of road lights and illuminated signs and bollards. This work will be carried out by the County Council’s in-house workforce. Drainage Maintenance. This will cover the drainage cleansing delivered by the County Councils in-house workforce. Planned visits to clean and empty road drainage gullies, channels and catch pits, is aimed at reducing the incidence of localised flooding of the highway during adverse weather and the consequential need for unplanned and more costly emergency action. The proposed budget allocation will allow for the equivalent of one full clean of the entire network every two years, plus some additional cleaning of around 20% of the network, targeting areas that are liable to flooding due to gullies being blocked by mud, leaves etc. Traffic Signals Maintenance. This will cover the ongoing inspection and maintenance of the traffic signals in the Carlisle Area that will be undertaken by County Council in-house staff and our Framework Contractor. The proposed budget allows for old stock that has deteriorated due to age to be replaced and adjustments in the signal timings due to the steady increases in traffic flow or for event management to be carried out. Verge Maintenance. This will cover the programmed verge cutting works to maintain the highway verges throughout the Carlisle Area and is delivered through an external framework contractor. The contract includes the management of Special Verges, which are sections of verge that have been identified as being particularly rich in flora and fauna. This budget heading also includes for weed treatment on the highway network. Road Marking Maintenance. This will cover the work of our in-house management staff and the external framework contractor. Road marking replacement is undertaken throughout the year by placing a number of timely instructions for works with the contractor. Other. No ‘other’ allocations are required in the Carlisle Area.

138 4.4 The draft Highways Revenue Budget for the Local Committee for 2021/2022 is set out in Appendix 1. 4.5 The Highways Revenue spend in 2021/2021 will be delivered through a combination of in-house teams (Highways, Drainage Cleansing, Construction and Street Lighting) and external Framework Contractors (Verge Maintenance, Road Markings and Traffic Signals). 4.6 The proposals for the distribution of funding shown in Appendix 1 have been derived from historical expenditure in recent years together with estimated future costs, and are intended to address the general condition of the road network in the area. 4.7 The distribution of resources among the various budget lines within the Highway Maintenance budget may change to ensure that the highway network can be maintained in as safe a condition as possible using the available budget.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 Members can recommend, or not, that Local Committee agree and keep under review the draft 2021/2022 devolved highways revenue maintenance budget allocations for 2021/2022 as detailed in Appendix 1 to this report.

6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1 This report provides details on the allocation of the Highways Revenue budget which is devolved to this Local Committee to agree and keep under review in accordance with the Council’s policies and the overall objectives of the Local Transport Plan. 6.2 If members agree to the recommendations in Appendix 1, this would allocate the whole of the draft Highways revenue budget.

7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1 The County Council is under a statutory duty to maintain the highway and in certain circumstances can be held liable for injury, damage or loss caused to users of the highway as a result of failure to take reasonable precautions to secure their safe use of the highway. The objective allocation of highway maintenance resources on the basis of demonstrable need and targeted defects supports the Council’s statutory defence against third party claims. 7.2 The Road Traffic (Temporary Restrictions) Procedure Regulations 1992 set out the procedures to be followed in connection with the making of Temporary Traffic Regulation Order/Notices (as appropriate), which would be required, pursuant to Sections 14(1) or 14(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, to enable the works to be carried out.

139 7.3 When allocating and moving money between budgets, Local Committee must follow the rules set by the Council following its consideration of the “Draft Revenue Budget 2020/21 and Medium Term Financial Plan (2020 – 2025) and Draft Capital Programme (2020 – 2025)” report (“the Report”) on 13 February 2020 and any such additional restrictions set by Cabinet and or Council regulating the use of such funds”. 7.4 Local Committee’s may, pursuant to Part 2D, paragraph 5.1.2 f) of the Constitution, agree and keep under review the implementation of, the highways revenue budget and capital programme for the local committee’s area to support the Council to carry out its statutory duty to maintain the highway in a safe condition as far as reasonably practicable.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 The recommended highways revenue budget represents the optimum distribution of funding available within current resources.

CARLISLE HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORT WORKING GROUP

Meeting date: 8 October 2020

From: Executive Director – Economy and Infrastructure

DRAFT DEVOLVED HIGHWAYS CAPITAL PROGRAMME 2021/2022

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 This report seeks a recommendation from the Highways and Transport Working Group (“the Working Group”) that the Local Committee agree the Draft Devolved Highways Capital Budget allocations for 2021/2022.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS

2.1 The Working Group is asked to recommend that Local Committee agree the draft 2021/2022 highways capital budget allocations. It is anticipated that County Council will confirm the devolved highways budget allocations for 2021/2022 in February 2021 and a further report will be presented after this date, to confirm the allocation to the Carlisle Local Committee. 2.2 The proposals support the Cumbria Community Strategy vision and the priorities of the Council Plan that include:-  Challenging poverty in all its forms,  Ensuring that the most vulnerable people in our communities received the support they need; and  Improving the changes in life of the most disadvantaged in Cumbria 2.3 There is no requirement for an Equality Impact Assessment at this stage. Equality Impact Assessments will be undertaken on a scheme specific basis for those Works which receive approval to proceed and exceptions will be brought back to the Group for consideration.

3.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

3.1 That the Working Group notes and considers the proposed budget allocations and recommends that the Local Committee agree and keep under review the Highways Draft Capital budget allocations for 2021/2022, as detailed in the attached Appendix 1 subject to confirmation of the budget allocation by Cabinet in February 2021.

145 3.2 That the Working Group notes the proposed schemes and recommends that the Local Committee note the proposed schemes being delivered under the proposed budget allocations attached as Appendix 2 subject to confirmation of the budget allocation by Cabinet in February 2021.

4.0 BACKGROUND

GENERAL 4.1 The Devolved Highways Capital Budget for the Non Principal Road Network (NPRN) has been split into the following budget headings;  Reported Defects Planned Works Programme  Structural Carriageway Works Programme  Pre-surface Treatment Works Programme  Surface Treatment Works Programme  Surface Sealing Works Programme  Footway Maintenance Works Programme  Drainage Maintenance Works Programme  Street Lighting Works Programme  Minor Improvements Works Programme  Traffic Signals Works Programme  Bridges and Structures Works Programme 4.2 The aim of the NPRN budget is to maintain the condition of the NPRN highway network. The objective is to reduce the rate of deterioration and restore defective sections. The majority of the NPRN budget is targeted at the needs of the carriageway. 4.3 The identification and priority of works within the NPRN budget is determined using an asset management approach. Works are planned to address, where possible, the cause of deterioration as well as the defect. 4.4 Since 2016/17 the government, through the Department for Transport (DfT), has allocated highway maintenance funding to local authorities using an ‘Incentive Fund’ formula. The formula measures the progress the authority has made in developing and delivering an asset management led approach to the maintenance of its highways infrastructure. 4.5 The ‘Incentive Fund’ requires Local Authorities to self-assess their current position against a number of specific criteria, and in doing so will grade themselves at Level 1, 2 or 3, with Level 1 being the poorest performing and 3 the highest. In 2017/18 authorities in Level 3 received the same level of funding as in 2016/17, with Level 1 and 2 authorities saw a reduction in their allocation. Cumbria County Council achieved Level 3 in 2017/18. 4.6 The current programme of work for 2021/2022 is presented, in Appendix 2 alongside indicative work programmes for 2022/2023 and 2023/2024. The schemes are listed in prioritised order but are indicative only as they are likely to change in line with the County Council’s Asset Management Policy. 4.7 The anticipated Highways Capital base allocation devolved to this committee for 2021/2022 is £3,290,000.

146 4.8 REPORTED DEFECTS PLANNED WORKS PROGRAMME In response to revised national guidance (Well-Managed Highway Infrastructure, a Code of Practice published by UK Roads Liaison Group) the County Council as a Local Highway Authority are looking to follow a variety of recommendations published as best industry practice. The Code of Practice or the recommendations contained within do not have any legal status. This approach was re-emphasised in Well Managed Highway Liability Risk, published by the Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE) in March 2017. As a result of the revised national guidance and best practice in 2019 we created a new dedicated team to undertake condition surveys and manage a new programme of works. This new programme of work has helped to maintain our network, keep people safe and gather information to support our asset management approach. The Planned Works is carried out by a team of six who will undertake repairs that have been identified by the Highway Condition and Safety Inspections and the existing public defect reporting system HiMs. 4.9 STRUCTURAL CARRIAGEWAY WORKS PROGRAMME This work comprises the larger resurfacing schemes, necessary to repair and maintain larger sections of the network. Unfortunately we are unable to carry out as much Structural Carriageway Works as we need to in order to maintain the NPRN in a steady state. A steady state is a condition that stable and not deteriorating or improving over a period of time. This largely unavoidable due to current budgets constraints and Cumbria County Council is not unique in this. Most Local Highway Authorities are in a similar position. We must therefore make the most of what we have and manage the slow decline in the overall condition of the network. Our priority is making sure it remains safe until additional funding is available. In addition to the three year indicative prioritised programme we have included a full list of Structural Carriageway works that have been identified in the Carlisle District. The value of this non programmed work is circa £4.5M. We are recommended an increase in this budget this year. 4.10 PRE-SURFACE TREATMENT WORKS PROGRAMME Routes deteriorate for a variety of reasons but the most cost effective maintenance is to stop water ingress and improve road texture by undertaking some form of surface treatment. Prior to routes receiving Surface Treatment it is considered good practice to ensure they are structurally sound and repaired by undertaking any repairs that may be necessary. The pre-surface treatment works programme involves the patching and preparation work necessary in advance of surface treatment. It is good practice to undertake Surface Treatment within a year or two of the pre-surface treatment works, but this is not always necessary or affordable.

147 4.11 SURFACE TREATMENT WORKS PROGRAMME Surface treatments are carried out to seal the road surface from the ingress of water and provide a fresh textured surface. Surface treatments are a cost effective method of preserving the highway Asset. 4.12 SURFACE SEALING WORKS PROGRAMME Surface sealing is a smaller operation than surface treatments with a small manually applied system used to make minor surfacing repairs. This is cost effective on the minor roads and low traffic volume areas of the network. 4.13 FOOTWAY MAINTENANCE WORKS PROGRAMME Footway maintenance schemes vary significantly; those in the programme are in priority order. In line with other County Council districts to avoid an increase in this budget heading, it is more likely that flagged footways in non-sensitive areas will be replaced with a bound surface. Bound surfaces are more economical to lay and maintain, and do not leave a raised edge if damaged. 4.14 DRAINANGE MAINTENANCE WORKS PROGRAMME Drainage maintenance schemes vary significantly; those in the programme are in a prioritised order. 4.15 STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE WORKS PROGRAMME Street lighting maintenance schemes vary significantly; those in the programme are in a prioritised order. 4.16 MINOR IMPROVEMENT WORKS PROGRAMME The Minor Improvements Works Programme provides some funding for minor highway and transport improvement schemes. The programme captures all the various requests from Neighbourhood Forums, Local Members, Parish Councils and those identified though groups like CRASH (Casualty Reduced and Safer Highways). The Minor Improvement Works schemes vary significantly; those in the programme are in a prioritised order. 4.17 TRAFFIC SIGNALS WORKS PROGRAMME There are no Traffic Signals Works in the three-year programme. 4.18 BRIDGES ADD STRUCTURES WORKS PROGRAMME There are no Bridges and Structures Works in the three-year programme.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 Members can recommend that Local Committee agree and keep under review the devolved Highways Draft Capital Budget Headings for 2021/22 as attached as Appendix 1.

148 6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1 The proposals detailed in the report are aimed at maximising the area of defective highway that can be restored to a reasonable and safe condition, which should prevent the formation of potholes. 6.2 The final budget available devolved to the Local Committee will not be known with certainty until February 2021 when Council set the budget for 2021/2022. 6.3 The information detailed in the report and appendices will allow Local Committee to comment and indicate the priority areas to be considered but a revised budget will need to be presented to local committee once the budget has been approved.

7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1 The County Council is under a statutory duty to maintain the highway and in certain circumstances can be held liable for injury damage or loss caused to users of the highway as a result of failure to take responsible precautions to secure their safe use of the highway. 7.2 The object allocation of scarce highway maintenance resources on the basis of demonstrable need targeted at known defect areas or carriageway/footway liable to give rise to potentially hazardous defects supports the Councils statutory defence against third party claims. 7.3 The Road Traffic (Temporary Restrictions) Procedure Regulations 1992 set out the procedures to be followed in connection with the making of Temporary Traffic Regulation Order/Notices (as appropriate), which would be required, pursuant to Sections 14(1) or 14(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, to enable the works to be carried out. 7.4 When allocating and moving money between budgets, Local Committee must follow the rules set by the Council following its consideration of the “Draft Revenue Budget 2020/21 and Medium Term Financial Plan (2020 – 2025) and Draft Capital Programme (2020 – 2025)” report (“the Report”) on 13 February 2020 and any such additional restrictions set by Cabinet and or Council regulating the use of such funds”. 7.5 Local Committee’s may, pursuant to Part 2D, paragraph 5.1.2 f) of the Constitution, agree and keep under review the implementation of, the highways revenue budget and capital programme for the local committee’s area to support the Council to carry out its statutory duty to maintain the highway in a safe condition as far as reasonably practicable.

149 8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 The proposed devolved Highways Draft Capital Budget for 2021/2022 will ensure that we are maintaining the highway network in the most cost effective way and securing the highest level of incentive funding available.

32 BORDERLANDS PROJECT UPDATE

The Major Programmes Director provided members with an update on the Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal.

173 In July 2019, the Leaders of the Borderlands Councils and UK and Scottish Government Ministers signed a Heads of Terms agreement for a £394.5m investment programme for the Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal. This was made up of £200m for the English authorities, £150m for the Scottish authorities and combined with £44.5m financial support from the Borderlands partners.

The Deal comprised of four themes:

 Improving Places  Enabling Infrastructure  Encouraging Green Growth  Supporting Business, Innovation and Skills

Following the signing of the Heads of Terms, the Partnership was now working towards reaching agreement on the Final Deal with UK and Scottish Governments. This was dependent on the development of satisfactory business cases for agreement of the Deal. Progress on developing the business cases continued and the potential implications of COVID-19 were being actively considered.

The following projects had been approved by the Borderlands Partnership Board, and updates were provided by the Director for all of these:

 Digital Vouchers Scheme  Alnwick Garden Lilidorei  Energy Masterplan  Carlisle Station and Citadels – Phase 1  Ad Gefrin Distillery  Dairy Nexus

The Chair of Eden Local Committee asked a question about the Digital Voucher Scheme, specifically something about what the residents in Mallerstang had been told about not being eligible for the Digital Voucher Scheme.

The Director agreed to investigate and would keep members informed (Action: AH)

The Assistant Director asked all members to promote the Digital Vouchers Scheme in the local areas (Action: All)

Over the coming months the Borderlands Lead Officer Group would continue to develop the remaining business cases in order to form part of the Deal. For Cumbria this meant the development of the following:

 Place programme  See More Lake District  Hadrian’s Wall and the Wider Roman Frontier Investment Programme  Digital Infrastructure  Carlisle Station and Citadels Phase 2  Newton Rigg

174 The Chair reminded members that Mr Shirley had asked a question at Council about the Dalton Place Plan. His response had been that the County Council was keen to begin the work on the place plans and he asked the Major Programmes Director to work with the Area Managers to start the conversations around these. (Action AH/AMs)

The Chair of South Lakes Local Committee commented that he had read an article recently which stated that wind turbines were creating too much energy and he wondered if hydrogen was going to be the answer to this. He asked if this would be considered as part of the Energy Masterplan.

The Director confirmed this would be considered as part of the masterplan for Energy.

The Chair of Eden Local Committee asked about digital vouchers, Newton Rigg, See More Lake District

The Chair of Barrow Local Committee wondered whether any of the schemes would be affected if the proposals for local government reform in Cumbria went ahead.

The Chair responded to say he would be very disappointed if the local government reform had any negative effect on these schemes, and he hoped the money would be transferred to the unitary authority if the reform went ahead.

The Vice Chair informed members that he was in total support of the Carlisle Station Project, and if this went ahead Cumbria County Council would be the owner of the station car park, which would provide an income stream for the authority.

RESOLVED, that the Local Committee Chairs and Leadership

(1) note the progress made and next steps outlined at sections 5 and 6 of the report;

(2) promote the availability of the Borderlands Digital Voucher Scheme.

33 COVID 19 RECOVERY - UPDATE

The Executive Director – Corporate, Customer and Community Services gave members an update presentation on Covid Recover, which included the following:-

 Recovery Approach  Emerging Themes  Localities  Next Steps

The report also included briefings from each Area Manager on the recovery works in all of the local committee areas.

175 The Executive Director took members through the emerging steps in more detail, including:-

 Economy and Business Recovery  Poverty, Inequality and Financial Hardship  Community Safety  Environment and Climate Change  Children and Families  Health and Wellbeing  Third Sector Perspective

The Executive Director said communities had responded fantastically to issues around Covid, and there was a great deal of synergy with the key issues emerging from across the partnerships. This was reflected in what was being undertaken in localities and it was important for the County Council to understand the priorities for localities when considering the next steps in recovery.

As part of the next steps the council would be identifying key priorities and action at both county wide and locality level, engaging with communities through locality arrangements and developing an approach to sharing progress with the SRCG and Chairs Forum, and into government, as appropriate.

The Chair of Eden Local Committee welcomed that fact that health and wellbeing was a major priority, however, he commented that he had been amazed at just how resilient children and young people had proven to be during the crisis, and was delighted that in the main most children were positive about the return to school.

He mentioned the mental health reference in the papers to loneliness and isolation and linked this to the reopening of local links and libraries which he felt would help with this. He commented that many of his residents relied on the local library and he felt that the reopening of these needed to be done as a matter of priority.

The Executive Director reminded everyone that the 6 main libraries had been reopened and work was now being undertaken to reopen local libraries The Executive Director said the County Council had successfully reopened the six main libraries in the summer with new Covid-secure measures in place. She confirmed that proposals were now being finalised to reopen some of the branch libraries in a safe and secure manner.

The Executive Director said plans were also being drawn up with Area Managers, to look at alternative ways of delivering library books to those who were unable to access local libraries going forward. Area Managers would keep members informed of progress with this (Action: AMs)

The Chair of South Lakeland Local Committee paid tribute to the work all of the Area Managers during the pandemic, which had been exemplary. All Local Committee Chairs agreed with this.

176 The Chair of Barrow Local Committee raised concerns about the health and wellbeing of the homeless, who, during the pandemic, had been living in hotels and were now being evicted.

He also raised concerns about obesity in children and young people. All local committees had received a presentation recently from Active Cumbria. The figure for Barrow Borough Council was 23.8% but he asked if comparative figures for the rest of the County were available. The Area Manager for Barrow agreed to obtain the comparative figures (Action: TI)

The Chief Executive thanked the Executive Director for her update. The amount of work done and the work underway in relation to the pandemic is tremendous. She reassured all members that a great deal of working was taking place to try to get public services back up and running in a safe and secure manner.

The Chair thanked the Executive Director for her presentation.
