  • Explanatory Memorandum to the Parish Councils
    EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO THE PARISH COUNCILS (GENERAL POWER OF COMPETENCE) (PRESCRIBED CONDITIONS) ORDER 2012 2012 No. [XXXX] 1. This explanatory memorandum has been prepared by the Department for Communities and Local Government and is laid before Parliament by Command of Her Majesty. 2. Purpose of the instrument This Order prescribes the conditions that must be met by a parish council in order for it to be eligible to use the general power of competence for local authorities set out in section 1 of the Localism Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”). 3. Matters of special interest to the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments This is the first occasion on which the power conferred by section 8(2) of the 2011Act has been exercised. 4. Legislative Context 4.1 Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the Localism Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”)1 provides local authorities in England with a general power of competence. It gives these authorities the same power to act that an individual has and provides that the power may be used in innovative ways, that is, in doing things that are unlike anything that a local authority has done before or may currently do. Schedule 1 to the 2011 Act amends section 2 of the Local Government Act 2000 (the power to promote well-being) so that it will no longer apply to English local authorities. The effect of this is that, for English local authorities, the power to promote well-being is being replaced by the broader general power of competence. 4.2 Section 8 defines “local authorities” for the purposes of Chapter 1 of the 2011 Act so as to include “eligible” parish councils.

  • Devolution: What It Means for Health and Social Care in England
    Devolution: what it means for health and social care in England Devolution of powers and funds from central down to local government has emerged as one of this government’s flagship policies. The notion of devolving health care was not core to the original devolution agenda, which focused on driving local economic growth. The inclusion of health and social care in the so-called ‘Devo Manc’ agreement announced in November last year therefore came as a surprise to many. Along with powers over housing, skills and transport, the landmark deal between the Treasury and Greater Manchester paves the way for the councils and NHS in Greater Manchester to take control of the region’s £6 billion health and social care budget. Ahead of further devolution deals expected to be announced as part of the Spending Review 2015, this briefing describes the origins of the devolution agenda and charts its progress in relation to health and social care. Before drawing some broad conclusions, the penultimate section explores some of the key policy and implementation questions that remain unresolved. Alongside secondary research, this paper is built on insights captured at events held at The King’s Fund as well as a series of conversations with representatives from various national bodies, think tanks and local areas involved in devolution, for which we are immensely grateful. What’s happening and how did we get here? A potted history of devolution and centralisation in England Over the past 150 years, there has been a tendency for UK governments to centralise power. The result is a UK system that is one of the most centralised of all countries belonging to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD); 75 per cent of tax revenues were raised centrally in 2012 (OECD 2014), and in 2014 just under 25 per cent of public expenditure was by local government (OECD 2015).

  • Review of Community Governance in the Unparished Area of Durham City Carried out by Durham County Council Final Recommendations
    Review of Community Governance in the Unparished Area of Durham City carried out by Durham County Council Final Recommendations (No Parishing Arrangements) On 26 October 2011, the County Council approved terms of reference for the conduct of a Community Governance Review in the area of Durham City. The terms of reference were published on 1 November and included the terms of the petition which had been received from residents requesting the establishment of a town council. Although the petition was not compliant with the legislation the Council decided to undertake the review. On 21 st March 2012, the Council approved Draft Recommendations for a second period of consultation with Durham. This draft can be accessed at www.durham.gov.uk/communitygovernance On 25 July 2012, the Council approved a further consultation of the areas of Aykley Vale, Priory Road and Dryburn Park to request whether the residents of these areas would prefer to be either simply parished, or to join Framwellgate Moor Parish Council. The Review The Council is carried out this review under the Local Government Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 (‘the Act’). It was known to the Council that there was a wish in the area by some residents to have the review with a view to establishing parish council arrangements. The review was however delayed whilst the Council was waiting for the Local Government Boundary Commission for England recommendations in relation to electoral arrangements for County Durham, following Local Government Reorganisation in 2009. The review was commenced before final recommendations were published by the Boundary Commission in order to enable the Council to put in place any electoral arrangements for any parish council established by the review in time for the County Council elections on 2 May 2013.

  • SIMPLIFIED PLANNING Planning Regulations, in Particular, Remain Notoriously Complex
    In common with all recent Governments, the Coalition has often declared its ambition to “cut red tape”. Yet only modest gains have been achieved. SIMPLIFIED PLANNING Planning regulations, in particular, remain notoriously complex. 118 Acts combine to create a “lawyer’s banquet” of complexity. The result is an unnecessarily lengthy and costly planning procedure which enables vested interests to prosper, Simplifi ed planning creates commercial uncertainty and restricts new development. The renewed interest in Garden Cities is to be welcomed. Applying the lessons of The case for sunset clauses the success of Milton Keynes (and that of the Urban Development Corporations) could lead to a new era of privately-fi nanced Garden Cities, thereby easing the current housing shortage while also spurring growth.

  • Crossrail Act 2008 (C.18) Which Received Royal Assent on 22 July 2008
    These notes refer to the Crossrail Act 2008 (c.18) which received Royal Assent on 22 July 2008 CROSSRAIL ACT 2008 ________________ EXPLANATORY NOTES INTRODUCTION 1. These explanatory notes relate to the Crossrail Act 2008 ("the Act") which received Royal Assent on 22 July 2008. They have been prepared by the Department for Transport in order to assist the reader in understanding the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by Parliament. 2. The notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So where a section or part of a section does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND 3. The main purpose of this Act is to secure the powers necessary to build Crossrail. Crossrail will consist of new rail tunnels running west-east through central London connecting directly with existing surface rail routes to Maidenhead and Heathrow in the west and Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east. By connecting the major London rail terminals of Paddington and Liverpool Street, Crossrail will enable interconnecting mainline train services to cross the centre of London via a number of new purpose-built stations. HYBRIDITY 4. The Bill for the Act was treated during its passage through Parliament as a Hybrid Bill, because it contained provisions which have an impact on the interests of particular individuals, as well as containing provisions of a more general public nature. A Hybrid Bill is a Public Bill promoted by the Government which affects particular private interests in a way different from the generality of people affected by the Bill.
