44/PF DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST

46/PF MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING
The Committee received the minutes of the Policy and Finance Committee meeting held on 17 June 2019 for consideration.
Minute reference 34/PF (Hardware and Software): the Committee was advised that as advised by email following the meeting, an extended warranty had been secured for the new computers. Final costs including the
Page 1 Page 15 Policy & Finance 16 SEPTEMBER 2019 ______
five year warranty and configuration costs totalled just under £18,000, just over half of which would be met by earmarked reserves and just under half from general reserves. It was hoped that installation would take place within the next couple of weeks.
Minute reference 36/PF (Bandstand signage): the Committee was advised that the new signage had been successfully installed within a few days of the previous meeting.
Minute reference 41/PF (Boundary review): the Committee was advised of a letter received from Central Bedfordshire Council advising that no parish boundary review would be undertaken before the completion of the current ward boundary review in 2020. Town and parish councils would have an opportunity to feed into the consultation process of the ward boundary review.
The Committee expressed disappointment with this response and it was agreed that the Committee keep this under regular review.
RESOLVED that the minutes of the Policy and Finance Committee meeting held on 17 June 2019 be approved as a correct record and were signed accordingly.
47/PF COMMITTEE OBJECTIVES AND WORK PLAN
The Committee received and considered the Work Plan and Objectives for 2019-2020. For operational reasons it was agreed to defer a customer service strategy until a more appropriate time, hopefully later in the municipal year.
The Volunteer Strategy item required further work to be undertaken and the suggestion of consultation was raised. It was anticipated that broad brush principles and timescales would be introduced at the next meeting but that further detail would come forward at a future date.
RESOLVED to note the Committee Work Plan and Objectives for 2019-2020.
48/PF PLANNING POLICY
By invitation, Sally Chapman of Chapman Planning presented to the Committee a report regarding the potential creation of a Town Council led policy document. This included an overview of the consultant’s experience and credentials, an overview of the statutory process, the potential advantages, the potential risks, the likely timescales and costs, resourcing, funding options and examples of plans in other areas.
In conclusion, it was suggested that a neighbourhood plan document was likely to take at least two years to complete and although, if successfully
Page 16
Page 2 Policy & Finance 16 SEPTEMBER 2019 ______
completed and adopted, would have equal weight to the Local Plan, was no guarantee of desired outcomes being delivered.
It was suggested that alternative options for achieving the desired outcomes for land south of the High Street could include revision of the development brief for the land, collaboration with Central Bedfordshire Council and consideration of options presented by the Government Future High Street Fund.
Committee members expressed a range of views. Frustration was expressed at the lack of progress since the creation of the development brief in 2012. The committee expressed support for inward investment and appropriate development of the site in order to enhance the vitality of the town centre. The potential drawbacks in terms of process and cost associated with a Neighbourhood Plan were recognised and it was noted that no weight would be afforded to a Plan until the very end of the process, during which time planning applications for the site could well have been brought forward.
Despite the inherent risks, it was felt that limited options were available and therefore the potential to develop a Plan should not be entirely dismissed as yet.
It was proposed and seconded that the Town Council contact Central Bedfordshire Council to request that a meeting take place to discuss other potential options to work collaboratively to progress appropriate development of land south of the High Street, including potential revision of the development brief and consideration of the Future High Street Fund, and that the question of developing a Neighbourhood Plan be reviewed again in a year’s time. On being put to the vote, the motion was carried (9 in favour, 2 abstentions).
RESOLVED that the Town Council contact Central Bedfordshire Council to request that a workshop take place to discuss other potential options to work collaboratively to progress appropriate development of land south of the High Street, including potential revision of the development brief and consideration of the Future High Street Fund, and that the question of developing a Neighbourhood Plan be reviewed again in a year’s time.
Ms Chapman was thanked for her presentation and left the meeting at 2041 hours.
49/PF AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER PAYMENTS 2019
The Committee received a schedule of payments which had previously been approved for payment by the Town Clerk and countersigned by two account signatories. There were no anomalies or matters of concern to draw to the attention of the Committee.

50/PF RISK REGISTER UPDATE
The Committee received and considered a mid-year update on the Risk Register action plan for 2019-2020.
RESOLVED to note the report.
51/PF COMMUNICATION UPDATE
The Committee received a report in respect of communications, including the Town Council website, social media channels and overall communications strategy. The new website had been launched in July after months of in- house preparation work re-working content and preparing graphics. The site now includes three integrated sites for LLTC, Astral Park and TACTIC. The next stage would be to upgrade the content management system currently in place for the Leighton Buzzard Market Website.
The Committee noted the success of the electronic signs in publishing messages to the public and it was suggested that consideration be given to expanding this type of communication. It was noted that footfall in Parson’s Close Recreation Ground was very high over the summer months and suggested that opportunities be sought for greater communication with park visitors.
Discussion took place regarding the About Town newsletter and whether targeted delivery of paper copies would be appropriate, to ensure reach to
Page 18
Page 4 Policy & Finance 16 SEPTEMBER 2019 ______
all elements of the community. It was suggested that further consideration be given to this and the budgetary implications thereof.

(c) To continue to invite nominations by 31 October 2019 for the 2020 award of the existing Honorary Burgess scheme, but to note this will be the final year of the aware, due to legislative changes.

56/PF TOWN COUNCIL OBJECTIVES
The Committee considered a draft list of objectives and projects to be included within the Five Year Plan for the period 2019-2024. It was noted that the Five Year Plan was an iterative document and would continue to be added to and revised throughout its lifespan. Furthermore, that projects not directly deliverable by the Town Council would continue to be the subject of a “partnership project list”, to be raised in the appropriate forums and the subject of ongoing lobbying.
Whilst further work needed to be done to determine financial and resourcing requirements, a draft list of priorities was discussed for recommendation to Council. Once endorsed in principle, specific scoping work would be undertaken and projects progressed through the budget setting process and the appropriate Committee work plans.
RECOMMENDED to Council to endorse the proposed list below of projects and objectives for inclusion within the Council’s work plan for 2019-2024:
2019-2020 1 Town Ranger service (from 1 April 2020) 2 Drinking water fountains 3 Changing pod facility in Parson’s Close Recreation Ground 4 Additional memorialisation options (already underway) 5 Initial scoping work on services for older people (survey/consultation) – to be progressed thereafter 2020-2021 4 Adventure playground 5 Consideration of overflow car parking at Mentmore Park 6 Projects for young people (arising from current survey/consultation) – possibly including BMX track improvement/development 2021-2022 7 Second Mausoleum (subject to interest) Partnership/longer term project list 8 Skate park improvement 9 Cultural and community facility 10 Soft play facility Page 20

Minute reference 08/CS (CCTV & Re-Deployable Cameras): the Sub-Committee was informed that a CCTV report was not available due to a fault with equipment and that a new location had now been identified for a control room, with further details to be provided at a future meeting.
Minute reference 10/CS (Community Emergency Plan): a question was asked
Page 111 Page 4 Community Safety Sub-Committee 21 OCTOBER 2019
regarding what progress had been made with this plan. The Sub-Committee was informed that a Working Party reviewed the draft plan and it was anticipated that this would come back to the Sub-Committee in January 2020, before being presented to Policy and Finance and Council.
RESOLVED that the minutes of the Community Safety Sub-Committee meeting held on 15 July 2019 be approved as a correct record and signed accordingly.
16/CS HOMELESS SERVICE UPDATE
The Sub-Committee received an update from Charlotte Gurney of Central Bedfordshire Council and Paul Latimer and Rosie George of the Leighton- Linslade Homeless Service regarding services and pathways available to those in need in Leighton-Linslade. The services provided included the Night Shelter at the Black Horse, a food bank, drop-in sessions and access to a doctor from a local surgery.
A short video was shown where a guest at the Black Horse gave his views on the work carried out and how it had enabled him to turn his life around and begin to look to a positive future.
It was recognised that there was great concern about rough sleeping and that many residents wanted to be able to help. It was felt that the most important factor was to raise awareness of all the support and services which were already available to help rough sleepers and to perhaps encourage residents to give their support to those services. The needs of those in this situation were often complex and related to many other factors including addiction or relationship breakdown. The pathways in place aimed to help individuals address these issues and empower them to move forward with their lives in a positive manner.
Charlotte Gurney from Central Bedfordshire Council also spoke to reaffirm that the stigma surrounding rough sleepers needed to be addressed and that a key message to the public was to let them know that many services were in place to provide help and support. A range of communications would be developed to help spread these messages across the community. The Sub Committee was advised of the Street Link service whereby the public could report concerns about rough sleepers, all of which would then be followed by the relevant authority.
A meeting would be taking place on 22 October to discuss what strategies could be used to share information and inform the public of services available and how these could be accessed.
Thanks were given to all those involved with the Black Horse for all their hard work for the Leighton-Linslade Homeless Service.
RESOLVED to note the information.
17/CS OPERATION DODFORD
Page 112 Page 5 Community Safety Sub-Committee 21 OCTOBER 2019
(a) The Sub-Committee had received a written report regarding crime and antisocial behaviour in advance of the meeting and a verbal summary was given by Sgt L Mitchell of Bedfordshire Police regarding activity undertaken in respect of Operation Dodford and incidents of note for July, August and September 2019. It was noted that the rise in street robberies, especially with young people and bicycles, had now stabilised after extra patrols in the parks and a significant arrest made, giving a downturn in these crimes. Dedicated patrols would be available for Halloween and Firework night to combat anti-social behaviour.
A question was raised as to whether Stop and Search powers were used and if knife crime was a problem in the town. It was confirmed Stop and Search powers were used in the appropriate cases and that although knife crime was reviewed at force level, any problems occurring locally would be addressed.
The Sub-Committee thanked PS Liam Mitchell for providing an update and for the continuing hard work in the town.
(b) The Sub-Committee received and considered a report in respect of the use of Operation Dodford underspend for the purpose of providing a community- based initiative to help address the fear of crime. Whilst further discussions needed to take place to determine if this would be an appropriate scheme locally, the Sub-Committee expressed support for the principle and agreed that further scoping work should take place.
RESOLVED -
(i) to support the principle of using Operation Dodford underspend to provide a community-based initiative to help combat the fear of crime within the Parish.
(ii) that further scoping work be carried out into the merits or otherwise of Street Wise project, that would be subject to future approval.
18/CS CCTV & RE-DEPLOYABLE CAMERAS
No CCTV report was available for the summer months, due to a malfunction of equipment at the Control centre. This had now been resolved so it was anticipated that the usual monthly reports would be available at the next meeting.
19/CS WATCH SCHEME UPDATES
Street Watch
The Sub-Committee was informed that the next Street Watch meeting would be held on the 4 November 2019. Earpieces were now available for use by the volunteers.
Speed Watch
Page 113 Page 6 Community Safety Sub-Committee 21 OCTOBER 2019
Speed Watch happened once a month but more volunteers were needed. A call for volunteers was scheduled to be included in the next edition of the About Town community newsletter produced by the Council.
Shop Watch
The shops were now beginning to put up Shop Watch signs similar to the Pub Watch scheme, whereby people could be banned for persistent repeat offences.
RESOLVED to purchase of Speed Watch signs for the ten main entry roads to the parish at a cost of £549.60 plus VAT (includes installation).
RESOLVED to note the information.
20/CS EXCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC
RESOLVED that, under the Public Bodies (Admissions to Meetings) Act 1960, the public be excluded on the grounds of the confidential nature of the business about to be transacted which involves the likely disclosure of exempt information. The public and press to withdraw from the meeting during consideration of detailed discussion regarding: Operational Policing.
21/CS OPERATIONAL POLICING The Sub-Committee was informed that a team of 10 officers and one Sergeant worked out of Leighton Buzzard Hub, of which one was a new PC replacing a Police Community Support Officer. They all worked out of the hub at the fire station and a question was raised regarding whether a front office would be a positive addition to the service. Sergeant Mitchell confirmed that members of the public could come to the hub but that most of the time, the community policing team was out on the streets. This was possible as officers could now work from their car or any public area to complete their paperwork and by doing this, it also provided a visible police presence to members of the public. It was agreed that publicity around what was available at the hub was needed, as not all residents were aware of its existence.
The meeting closed at 2124 hours.
I HEREBY CONFIRM THAT THE FOREGOING IS A TRUE AND ACCURATE RECORD OF THE MEETING HELD ON 21 OCTOBER 2019.

06/GA MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING
The Sub-Committee received the draft minutes of the meeting held on 8 April 2019.
RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting held on 8 April 2019 be approved as a correct record and were signed accordingly.
07/GA CITIZENS ADVICE LEIGHTON-LINSLADE
The Sub-Committee received a thorough verbal update from Kash Karimzandi, Chief Officer of Citizens Advice Leighton-Linslade (CALL), in respect of the grant funding received from the Town Council and services provided to the public. It was noted that members of the public were seeking advice for increasingly complex issues, particularly in respect of debts, assistance with Universal Credit applications and all other benefits.
Page 116 Page 2 Grants & Awards Sub-Committee 4 November 2019
CALL provided independent advice within Leighton-Linslade, opening five days a week with one evening session on a Monday, an outreach session at a local General Practice for their patients on a fortnightly basis and telephone and email advice throughout the week. Ad-hoc outreach sessions were also run from the TACTIC centre. At present CALL had 8 members of staff and up to 50 volunteers working out of Bossard House, providing assistance for a variety of problems and needs. Specialist advisers offered advice on Universal Credit, EU settlement applications, Employment and Support Allowance and disability benefits. Appointments were generally booked months in advance and more advisers were being trained to meet this need.
CALL used an external Treasury model to estimate the value to their clients through income gained in benefits, debts written off and consumer problems resolved. It was calculated that residents derived a benefit of more than £40 for every £1 invested in CALL, making a positive difference to the local community of Leighton-Linslade.
Current funding came from Leighton-Linslade Town Council, Central Bedfordshire Council, Welfare Reform Grant, Money Advice and Pensions Service, Help to Claim project and Wixamtree Trust. CALL also ran its own in- house fundraising events. However, looking ahead to 2020-21 it was anticipated that nearly £20,000 could be lost from the core funding, which was likely to have an impact on the delivery of core services in the town.
Kash Karimzandi thanked Leighton-Linslade Town Council for its support, which enabled its vital work to continue for local residents.
The Sub-Committee thanked Ms Karimzandi for her comprehensive and positive report and also expressed thanks to all those involved at CALL for their hard work within the Leighton-Linslade community.
RESOLVED to note the report.
08/GA GENERAL GRANT APPLICATIONS (2nd round for 2019-2020)
The Sub-Committee was advised that the budget allocated for General Grants in 2019-2020 totalled £10,000. A total of £2,700 remained available following the approval of grants totalling £7,300 earlier in the year.
RESOLVED to note the information.
The Sub-Committee received a summary of the seven applications received for a General Grant in 2019-2020, along with a summary of the documents submitted with the applications.
It was noted that the application submitted by Freddie & Friends Sunshine Stop was a second application within the same financial year. However, the Sub- Committee recognised that the majority of the first grant had been for the wider community benefit through the hire of a Mobiloo facility for the Carnival, rather than benefitting the group itself. In order to fund additional equipment and sessions offering respite to local families, it was agreed that on this occasion, a
Page 117 Page 3 Grants & Awards Sub-Committee 4 November 2019
second grant could be awarded.
RESOLVED to approve General Grant funding amounting to £2,720 as follows, subject to all applicants having met the required criteria by providing the required documentation:
Organisation Purpose of General Grant Amount Friends of Tiddenfoot To buy wicker hurdles and stakes to £500 Waterside Park surround areas of acid grassland in TWP Sacred Heart To provide hot meals and shelter on £500 Homeless Lunch Club Friday to the homeless at the Sacred Heart Church Hall Rushmore Parkrun To replace signage and equipment £228 for the weekly free Parkrun LB Better Speakers To provide 12 monthly workshops at £492 LB Library on communication skills (workplace and social) Trinity Scout Group For the Beavers, Cubs and scouts to £250 work on an allotment to grow fruit trees and vegetables Greenfields Residents Towards the cost of a coach trip to £250 Forum see the London Christmas lights for residents and carers Freddie and Friends To hold more activity days, purchase £500 Sunshine Stop equipment and look at holding a weekend group to give families respite and support over the weekend

Policy and Finance Committee
Date: 18 November 2019
Title: Volunteer Policy
Purpose of the Report: To provide the Committee with information in respect of Volunteering.
Contact Officer: Sarah Sandiford, Head of Democratic and Central Services
Corporate Objective/s LLTC Three Year Plan – Aim 1:
Implications: Financial X Human Resources X Operational/Service To ensure the Council can delivery continue to work productively and positively with volunteers. Procedural/Legal To ensure Council policy remains up to date and fit for purpose. Risk/Health and Safety X
1. RECOMMENDATIONS
Should members be minded, the proposals are:
1.1 To note the report and the proposed timeline of activity in respect of revisions to the Council’s Volunteering Policy.
2. BACKGROUND
2.1 Leighton-Linslade is fortunate in having a significant number of residents who are willing to volunteer their time and energy for the benefit of the local community. In most cases, volunteers belong to a specific group, charity or organisation which is active in an area of specific interest or relevance to the individual.
Page 137
2.2 The Town Council has, over time, developed a number of relationships with volunteer groups which support its vision and aspirations for the community, for example in respect of greening or community safety. Arrangements for support of these groups may be formal (e.g. by service level agreement) or entirely informal.
2.3 The Town Council may also on occasion work directly with individuals who wish to volunteer for a specific activity, project or purpose (e.g. work experience students).
2.4 Some years ago, the Town Council signed up to the Bedfordshire and Luton Compact – a common set of principles to help the public sector and the voluntary & community sector to work together effectively in partnership. These principles are referred to in the Council’s Community Engagement Strategy.
2.5 In April 2013, the Council adopted a Volunteer Policy and Agreement.
2.6 In developing its objectives for the next five years, the Council identified a wish to revisit its arrangements for supporting volunteers to ensure that this vital contribution continued to be recognised, valued and supported.
3. REVIEW PROCESS
3.1 Officers have reviewed existing policy alongside guidance provided by Community Action Bedfordshire. Work is underway to create an amended document which will set out overarching principles for supporting volunteers, but without being unnecessarily unwieldy, prescriptive or formal.
3.2 It is proposed that a series of informal meetings take place with representatives of the volunteer groups with which the Council currently works, or which it currently supports. The purpose of these meetings will be to discuss the support arrangements currently in place and identify any changes which might be desired by either party.
3.3 The policy document may then be further amended as result of the meetings held with local groups.
3.4 If there are any significant changes to existing arrangements requested, these may then be the subject of detailed consideration by the relevant committee.
4. TIMESCALE
4.1 The table below sets out the proposed timescales for next steps:

Title: White House lighting
Purpose of the Report: To seek committee approval on replacement of lighting in the Town Council offices.
Contact Officer: Sarah Sandiford, Head of Democratic and Central Services
Corporate Objective/s LLTC Three Year Plan – Aim 1:
Implications: Financial Cost of up to £4,000 to be met from White House earmarked reserve 9041/920 (current balance £25,686) Human Resources X Operational/Service X delivery Procedural/Legal X Risk/Health and Safety
1. RECOMMENDATIONS
Should members be minded, the proposals are:
1.1 To approve expenditure of up to £4,000 from the White House earmarked reserve (9041/920) to replace existing internal lighting to LED lighting.
2. BACKGROUND
2.1 The Council’s lease agreement for the White House building includes an expectation that the Council will meet costs for repairs, refurbishment, maintenance and decoration for its offices. The Council is responsible for organising any such work directly, whilst keeping the landlord advised.
2.2 Any such works to communal areas are organised by the landlord and the
Page 141
Council is charged a pro-rata cost for its proportion of the building.
2.3 To allow for such scheduled works as well as to allow for contingencies, the Council maintains an earmarked reserve for White House costs (balance currently stands at £25,686).
2.4 Lighting has become an increasing issue over the last couple of years, with lighting tubes requiring replacement on a fairly regular basis. Due to the height of the ceilings in the White House, this work is outsourced to specialist electrical contractors.
2.5 In early 2019, we were advised by our contractor that the lighting in situ in the White House was at risk of becoming obsolete.
2.6 Further to the above and the environmental ambitions approved by Council in June 2019, it is proposed that all lighting in Town Council offices in the White House be replaced by LED lighting.
2.7 The advantages of LED lighting include long life, energy efficiency, high brightness and intensity, low radiated heat, reliability and instantaneous illumination.
3. CONSIDERATIONS
3.1 Three quotes have been sought from electrical contractors for undertaking this work.
3.2 The preferred quotation is not only the most competitive price but also a local supplier.
3.3 The contractor offers a 12-month warranty on labour and materials and the lighting manufacturer offers a 5 year warranty on the light fittings.
3.4 The landlord has been approached and approval to proceed obtained.
4. RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 The Committee is asked to consider approving expenditure of up to a maximum of £4,000 from the White House earmarked reserve for the purpose of replacing existing lighting with LED lighting.
End.
Page 142 Agenda Item 15
Motion To be moved at Leighton-Linslade Town Council meeting 30 September 2019 That this Council resolves to set up a Health Services Sub-Committee, or Task and Finish Group, reporting to Policy & Finance Committee, with the following Terms of Reference: AIMS 1. To press Bedfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group (“BCCG”) and Central Bedfordshire Council’s (“CBC”) Health and Well-Being Board (“HWB”) to bring forward proposals urgently for a Leighton Buzzard Hub as part of a planned approach to improved localisation of hospital services for local residents and to secure the town’s fair share of Government investment in the localisation agenda. 2. To press for the development of that Plan to include local GPs and professions ancillary, patient groups and this Town Council, to promote, encourage and support early and regular consultation with residents of Leighton Buzzard and Linslade in terms of the services to be provided and the location of the Hub 3. To pursue, in consultation with the three groups mentioned above, that this comprehensive Plan shall include a) a Leighton Buzzard Hub providing a range of services that are currently provided either by local hospitals or not at all b) the accommodation and investment requirements of existing GP surgeries in the town c) planned GP surgeries serving the new developments on the eastern side of the town, and also Linslade residents, who used to have two Linslade surgeries and now have none 4. To press NHS England for greater transparency on the quality standards for health services being delivered locally and to act as a sounding-board for local residents. SUGGESTED MEMBERSHIP Town Councillors, Leighton Buzzard GP surgery professional representatives (by invitation) and Leighton Buzzard patient group representatives (numbers to be discussed). Moved : Cllr Steve Owen, Seconded Cllr Anne Gray [Note: the Mover is content for the Motion to stand referred to the Policy & Finance Committee in accordance with Standing Order 10b.]
BACKGROUND 1. For the past twenty years successive Government Health policy has been to secure a move of services, currently delivered in hospitals, to local communities. Until 2012 this policy was articulated in terms of Community Hospitals. The Town Council did a great deal of work between 2005 and 2010 on a proposed Leighton Buzzard Community Hospital, with the input of local GPs and patient groups acting in a Town Council Health Services Working Group, including developing a blueprint of the health services it would provide. The then-Bedfordshire Health CEO promised support to turn that plan into reality but he was promoted onwards Page 143 and the initiative foundered on the withdrawal of promised resources by Bedfordshire Health and mixed support for the initiative from the town’s GP surgeries who had their own priorities.
2. In 2015 the Government’s Spending Review required local areas to develop a Sustainability and Transformation Plan by 2017 that shifted care from hospitals to a local community-based delivery. On 30 June 2016 BCCG, the successor to Bedfordshire Health, submitted an application to deliver two “Hubs” in Central Bedfordshire, then later it proposed Hubs in Ivel Valley (Biggleswade, Sandy and Shefford), West Mid Beds (Ampthill and Flitwick), Chiltern Vale (Dunstable and Houghton Regis) and Leighton Buzzard. The same CBC report listed 12 candidate services to be “localised”.
3. The HWB decided on the Dunstable and Biggleswade Hubs as priorities. No rationale for this can be found in the HWB minutes. One surmises that a Dunstable Hub could be seen as solving the long-standing problem of accommodation needs for Dunstable GP surgeries. The HWB minutes suggest that CBC sees its role as a passive presence on the HWB, with BCCG taking the lead and deciding the priorities. The implementation of the Dunstable Hub is proceeding apace.
4. The HWB minutes record almost no discussion of the need for Leighton Buzzard to be accorded priority, despite the rapid population growth of the past ten years and also accommodation problems with GPs’ surgeries similar to Dunstable’s. A Leighton Buzzard Hub gets fleeting mentions in the HWB minutes – a “Scoping Paper” was intended to lead to a “Strategic Outline” paper. Both have been repeatedly delayed. A BCCG report to the HWB at its 11 July 2018 meeting states “Due to changes in practices and staffing levels recently it has been agreed that instead of prioritising and fast-tracking Leighton Buzzard, all clusters will receive intensive support from National Association of Primary Care and other organisations to suit their needs and develop at pace”. The report does not explain what this sentence means nor do the meeting minutes help.
5. BCCG officers have reportedly announced that the Leighton Buzzard “solution” is to have a “Virtual Hub” without defining what that is or giving a rationale. The HWB is static in planning the development of localised health services in Leighton Buzzard as the Government required. An individual BCCG manager has unilaterally announced that there is to be no new GP surgery serving the new housing developments on the eastern edge of town, again with no rationale put forward and no explicit strategy for developing the existing surgeries to cater for the increased demand for services.
6. Neither GPs nor Patient Participation Groups (“PPGs”) at the current Leighton Buzzard surgeries have received consultation on the planning of a Leighton Buzzard Hub or on the localisation agenda. The Bassett Road surgery GPs and PPG have been active in pressing BCCG for local consultation, but to no avail.
Page 144 7. Leighton Buzzard residents have been kept in the dark by BCCG and CBC over the Hub. BCCG’s consultants Arcadis held a restricted access meeting about the Hub in the town in January 2018, but there has there been no proper public consultation.
8. The Town Council/CBC Partnership Committee has received a series of short verbal reports from the link CBC manager over the past two years that add up to “no progress to report”. The minutes of the Partnership Committee do not record any concerns being expressed by Town or CBC councillors to CBC or BCCG about the neglect of the town’s health services planning. BCCG and CBC’s HWB are not being held to account.
9. There is considerable public concern over the inadequate service being provided by Leighton Road Surgery, one of the three GP surgeries in the town. The Care Quality Commission has issued successive reports in 2019 describing the practice as “ Requires Improvement” (early 2019) and now “Inadequate” (Autumn 2019), but there is no public accountability involving local patients (a surgery Patient Participation Group has not prevented the deterioration in services).
10. The Town Council had a Health Services Working Group between 2004 and 2016 which served to bring councillors, local residents/patients and GPs into a conversation with the aim of securing improved health services in the town. The Group became de-energised in 2010 when Bedfordshire Health discarded the Community Hospital project and became moribund in its later years.
11. An initiative is therefore needed to Exert pressure on BCCG/CBC HWB to share their plans with local GPs, Patient Groups and Leighton Buzzard residents Inject some accountability and urgency into NHS investment plans for Leighton Buzzard as the largest centre of population in Central Bedfordshire and the second largest town in Bedfordshire. NHS money is currently going elsewhere. Create an influential conversation on which services are to be localised and their accommodation needs Create a Town Council pressure group with the opportunity for non-councillor interests to have a voice. This is particularly important since a successful outcome will require common cause between councillors, GPs and local residents and so avoid a repeat of the 2012 situation on which the Community Hospital foundered. Press for some means whereby any adverse performance of local Health services can be scrutinised and held to account on behalf of Leighton Buzzard and Linslade residents.
12. This Motion provides for a creation of a Town Council sub-committee, or Task and Finish Group, that will serve both to press BCCG and CBC/HWB to act, and also provide a means of enabling local discussion on the Town’s input to the health localisation Plan. The desired end-objective will be the commencement of those locally-delivered services. Page 145 This page is intentionally left blank

Title: Community Events Costs Report
Purpose of the Report: To provide a financial update on community event costs
Contact Officer: Ben Bodsworth, Town & Community Promotions Manager Corporate LLTC Three Year Plan – Aim: 2 - To continue to support a vibrant Objective/s town through partnership working and initiatives including management of the street market, support for local businesses, town and community promotions and town centre enhancements. Implications Financial √ An increased cost of goods, services and entertainment has led to a reduction in the output at community events where the budget has remained constant. Human Resources Operational/Service √ Safe and entertaining delivery is essential to maintain the established delivery quality of the events. Procedural/Legal Risk/Health &Safety
1. RECOMMENDATIONS
Should members be minded, the proposal is:
1.1 To recommend to Policy and Finance Committee an increase in the annual event budgets, to commence in financial year 2020/21, by a total of £6,175 to reflect the additional costs experienced within the sector.
2. Background
2.1 Event budgets have remained static since 2016 with costs associated with each event increasing year on year – cost of transport, staffing, storage & maintenance etc. which are in turn passed onto the customer (Leighton- Linslade Town Council).
2.2 A desire to reduce the environmental impact of each of the events Leighton- Linslade Town Council hosts will also have an increased cost. Previously, all waste has been disposed of via landfill rather than through recycling where possible.
2.3 Recent years have seen the introduction of a professional photographer to the events programme. Used to capture the social interaction and entertainment at the events, the photographs also provide quality content for the Council’s web Page 151
and social media platforms and publications and help promote the event to prospective stall holders and visitors in future years. The quality of the photographs helps reflect the quality of the event.
2.4 An ongoing review of Health & Safety at the community events will come to an end in December and it is likely that a recommendation to continue with a dedicated safety advisor at some events will be a conclusion of the overall report.
2.4 Since 2016, the rate of inflation has averaged 3.5% per year, meaning £10,000 in 2016 is equivalent to £10,700 in 2018 (2019’s rate of inflation will be published in January 2020).
2.5 Earmarked reserves have been committed for the 2019–2021 events programme to enhance the Music in the Park programme and the Canal Festival, as well as expand the events to offer a live screening of a national event. However, from 2022 onwards additional finance will be required should the desire to continue these enhancements continue.
3. Event Budget Analysis
3.1 The event budgets can broadly be broken down into three main areas;
Activities & Entertainment, Infrastructure and Marketing.
Analysis (figures 1-4) shows that the percentage spend on infrastructure has shown an increasing trend since 2016 and the entertainment percentage spend has decreased. An exception can be seen within the Christmas Festival budget which can be attributed to the reduction in cost of an external production manager role for the weekend.
3.2 Figure 1 – Big Lunch Spend 2016 – 2019 It is a concern that over time, the infrastructure costs for Big Lunch will continue to rise to ensure the safety of visitors and members of staff which will lead to a decrease in the budget available for entertainment expenditure.

3.3. Figure 2 – Canal Festival Spend 2016 – 2019 Site factors within Tiddenfoot Waterside Park prevent additional stalls being added to the footprint to increase additional revenue generated at the event. Events across the UK are also seeking to be more environmentally friendly with the encouraged use of public transport, walking and cycling. A major income stream for Canal Festival is the car park which over time, it is anticipated will see less use, therefore generating less revenue for the event.

3.4. Figure 3 – Living History Spend 2016 – 2019 Living History has seen the greatest percentage increase in infrastructure costs since the event coincided with the charter market. Whilst the majority of the budget is spent on entertainment, the costs of infrastructure will continue to rise along with the cost of entertainment. This double increase in costs will lead to a reduction in the number of exhibits and demonstrations over time.

3.5 Figure 4 – Christmas Festival Spend 2016 – 2019 Christmas Festival retains a high level of entertainment investment; however, a plateau has been reached in 2018 / 2019 with the reduction in infrastructure costs slowing significantly. It is expected over time, these will rise in line with other events.

3.6 It is anticipated that the cost of waste management for environmental reasons and as part of the wider waste management contract throughout the events programme could double over the next 12 months, increasing from an average of £325 per event to £600 per event.
3.7 The cost increase is partly due to the cost of relevant road permits which will need to be obtained if the contractor is unable to deliver at specified times once road closures have been installed and collect prior to them being lifted. Additional costs will also be incurred to ensure the traceability of the waste products, rather than just utilising landfill as per the Council’s Environmental Ambitions.
4. Event Budget Increases
4.1 An increase in pitch fees has been explored across all events with some reviews showing that a reduction in pitch fee created a higher level of interest from stall holders. Pitch fees continue to be reviewed on an event by event basis to maximise the revenue generated from this income stream.
4.2 To enable multi-event savings, a quoting process to supply across multiple events is undertaken annually in January. This enables suppliers to offer multi- events and multi-year discounts to the council.
4.3 To ensure the continued high level of quality entertainment and infrastructure at community events within the town, it is suggested that each of the events receives an approximate 7% increase in budget; Page 154
Event Current Revised Increased Percentage Budget Budget Amount Increase Big Lunch £10,000 £10,700 £700 7% Canal Festival £18,000 £19,200 £1,200 6.6% Band Concerts £6,600 £7,100 £500 7.5% Living History £10,000 £10,700 £700 7% Christmas Festival £13,000 £13,900 £900 6.9%
4.4 For those events which require ongoing external Health & Safety Services, it is suggested a further £725 per event is included within the event budgets annually.
Event Proposed H&S Total Proposed Revised Budget Contribution Revised Budget Big Lunch £10,700 £725 £11,425 Canal Festival £19,200 £725 £19,925 Band Concerts £7,100 £7,100 Living History £10,700 £10,700 Christmas Festival £13,900 £725 £14,625
5 CONCLUSIONS
5.1 The continued development and resourcing of the events programme is necessary to ensure events are well funded, have a high level of entertainment value and continue to attract local residents to the free community events hosted by Leighton-Linslade Town Council.
5.2 A total cost increase of £6,175 across the event budgets will help to ensure a continued high level of entertainment at the community events for the coming years.
5.3 The above costs are in addition to the funds already committed from earmarked reserves for the 2019/20/21 events programme development. To continue the new format of the Canal Festival, Last Night of the Proms and Live TV Screenings from 2022 onwards, an additional investment of at least £5,535 (plus rate of inflation) will be required annually in addition to the above, i.e. £11,710 +inflation.

Policy and Finance Committee
Date: 18 November 2019
Title: Budget Setting Process
Purpose of the Report: To help inform Members of the work to date in respects of the budget setting process
Contact Officers: Mark Saccoccio - Town Clerk Clare Cummins – Finance Officer
Corporate . Aim 1: To consolidate processes and procedures, Objective/s ensuring operational efficiency and a structure which will underpin future service delivery by the Town Council. Implications: Financial √ Human Resources √ Operational/Service √ delivery Procedural/Legal √ Risk/Health & Safety
1.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
Should the Policy and Finance Committee be minded:-
1.1 To note the report
1.2 That each standing committee with budgetary responsibility be presented with its own draft budget for consideration and thereafter, for the draft budget to be returned to this committee on 20th January 2020 for its further consideration.
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 In accordance with established practice, the Town Council will be expected to have set a precept and notified the billing authority (Central Bedfordshire Council) of that amount by mid-January (albeit the principal authority will be made aware that this information will not be forthcoming until 29th January 2020 at the very earliest). Page 157
2.2 The following provides a timeline for those committees with budgetary responsibility:-
Partnership Committee to be presented with its draft budget on Thursday 28th November 2019. Grounds and Environmental Services Committee to be presented with its draft budget on Monday 2nd December 2019. Cultural and Economic Services Committee to be presented with its draft budget on Monday 9th December 2019. Planning and Transport Committee to be presented with its draft budget on Wednesday 11th December 2019. Community Safety Sub-Committee to be presented with its draft budget on Monday 13th January 2020.
2.3 Thereafter, the draft budget will be returned to this committee for its consideration (Monday 20th January 2020). Subject to committee approval, the budget will then be taken to Full Council for its ratification. Throughout this process, Members are actively encouraged to approach Officers should they seek clarification on any budgetary matters.
Precepting:-
2.4 On 30th October 2019, the Town Council received details of the tax base for the forthcoming financial year. The tax base has increased by 0.8% from 14,456 dwellings to 14,572 (a net increase of 116 dwellings).
Year 15/16 16/17 17/18 18/19 19/20 20/21 Tax 13,438 13,826 14,141 14,270 14,456 14,572 Base (+2.8% = (+2.3% = (+0.9% = (+1.29% (+0.8% and year 388) 315) 129) =186) = 116) on year % increase in dwellings
2.5 It is disappointing to note that the council tax base has seen the smallest increase in housing numbers when compared to the previous 4 years even though meaningful growth is taking place within the parish boundary. When challenged, the principal authority who provide the council tax base data is satisfied that the housing numbers are correct and representative of current circumstance; namely, single person occupancy, completions and anticipated non-collection rates.
The Draft Budget
2.6 The draft budget comprises the operational costs of running the Town Council’s services and includes within it an annual contribution of £200,000 toward its capital projects programme. The detail of the projects together with their spend Page 158
Page 2 of 4
profile can be found within the dedicated 5 Year Plan which is presented to committee as a separate agenda item.
2.7 The draft budget has increased by £96,427 (£2,258,755 - £2,162,328 = £96,427) when compared to last year. As the budget headlines show, there are 3 primary reasons for this. Firstly, the income targets as set out therein are representative of current circumstance, secondly, the draft budget is responding to inflationary pressures and statutory obligations and thirdly, greater town council responsibilities as more assets are transferred to the town council because of the growth agenda which in itself represents a financial burden.
