1 Hull City Council Fair Funding Needs Review Consultation Hull City Council Fair Funding Needs Review Consultation Response Hull City Council’s responses to the individual questions are attached at Annex A. The narrative below sets out the factors the Council sees as key to both the Needs and Resources elements of any system of Fair Funding for Local Government. In recent years the city has been very successful in drawing in additional investment into the City. Hull has experienced its highest ever levels of public and private sector investment, with developments totalling £1bn now being delivered in the city. The Council has invested in a £100m ‘destination Hull’ programme which has begun to transform city centre streets, public spaces and cultural venues, setting the stage for a spectacular cultural programme for the city’s year as City of Culture in 2017. The work will also ensure Hull secures a lasting legacy from its year in the spotlight in the shape of increased participation in the arts, a strengthened cultural economy and a regenerated and vibrant city. Specifically the Council is funding investment in the public realm within the City Centre, major refurbishment of the New Theatre and Ferens Art Gallery as well as a new conference/music venue However, despite this recent economic success, the city still faces economic and social challenges engrained through 30 years of economic ‘stagnation’ which present themselves through the city’s position in the Indices of Multiple Deprivation. Income levels, child poverty and health related challenges persist and those distanced from work, in the longer term, measured through Employment Support Allowance / Incapacity Benefit are at 9.5%, the highest on record. It is vital that the City receives a Fair Funding settlement reflecting both the needs of the population and available resources. Needs Element Measures of Deprivation 1.1 As an inner city Authority, the Council sees the level of deprivation as the key factor in assessing need and funding. Based on the proportion of Lower Layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs) which fall within the 10% most deprived nationally, Hull is ranked as the third most deprived local authority in England having been previously ranked 5th under this measure. This means that Hull is relatively more deprived in 2015, compared to other local authorities, than it was in 2010. Table: Top 5 most deprived LA in England, IMD 2015 2015 2010 Local Authority % of LSOA in most LA % of LSOA in most LA Diff deprived10% Rank deprived 10% Rank % Middlesbrough 48.8% 1 46.6% 2 +2.2 Knowsley 45.9% 2 45.5% 4 +0.5 Kingston Upon Hull 45.2% 3 42.9% 5 +2.2 Liverpool 45.0% 4 50.9% 1 -5.9 Manchester 40.8% 5 45.6% 3 -4.8 1 1.2 The Council believes that the domains of deprivation used to determine the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) are credible and nationally robust, and so combine to give the best available measure of local need. Deprivation needs to be recognised as a very significant driver of the need to spend and be weighted accordingly within the Fair Funding formulae. Cost Drivers 1.3 In addition to the commentary included Appendix A relating to cost drivers the Council would highlight the following in relation to Looked After Children (LAC), Adult Social Care and the cost associated with being a regional centre. Children’s Services 1.4 The numbers of and complexity of needs for Looked After Children with the city has increased very significantly in recent years. This is also a national picture. In consequence needs far outstrip the available resources. Included within the overall position are the most complex and expensive cases, where a relatively small, but growing unsustainably , number of children have needs that are very challenging and extremely expensive. The needs assessment system needs to include within it needs to include within it recognition of these cases where costs for one child may easily exceed £250k a year. Adult Social Care 1.5 Adult Social Care is inextricably related with health care, but the assessment of needs and provision of resources for the whole system is artificially separated. Until that arrangement is changed any system is always going to be fractured and sub- optimal as, for instance, pressure from the Department of Health onto hospitals over freeing up beds can run counter to the ethos of enablement and independence that Councils and other partners are trying to promote with the same people. 1.6 Needs assessment has to reflect – ageing population, and so increased demand for a longer period of time from that and also – complex problems/long periods of poor health at any age. The following factors are thus very important and need to be included: • Healthy Life Expectancy • Gap in life expectancy between local authority and England as a whole • Mortality rate from causes considered preventable 2 Regional Centres 1.7 There are specific needs, and hence costs, arising from being a regional centre. These are not reflected within current funding arrangements and the Council believes cost drivers such as those set out below should be included within the new needs assessment. - ratio of travel to work area to local authority area – - ratio of non-resident to resident employees within a locality (i.e. commuter numbers) - hospital beds / acute service provision - visitor numbers to cultural / leisure / heritage facilities - University and Further Education student numbers - homelessness - air quality 1.8 These indicators provide an overview of the additional service needs placed on any regional centre, represents the economic reach of a locality, and therefore the additional services that may be require to support a sustainable wider economy (e.g. acute health and social care needs, highways and transportation, visitor attractions, mitigation against ill health and inequality). Resources Element Summary 2.1 The city of Hull, as an administrative area, has fully embraced the Government’s Economic Toolkit to deliver both economic and employment growth. By deploying those economic interventions, including Enterprise Zones, Community Infrastructure Levy and the New Homes Bonus, the city has actively responded to the wider financially incentivised economic growth strategy presented by the Government. 2.2 The relatively recent deployment of such incentives has seen the city’s economy enjoy growth with the result that in the last three years:- • Employment in Hull has increased faster than the National average from 61.7% to 66.9%. • Percentage of people unemployed has fallen from 14.8% to 8.6% (10,700 residents). • Job Seekers allowance claimants have fallen to their lowest level to 3.2% from 8.2%. 2.3 The availability of Employment Land is both limited and undermined by the ‘offer’ in the more rural East Riding. The growing Renewable Energy industry in Hull, is, by its nature ‘land-hungry’ and the city clearly faces challenges in capturing such economic opportunity in the future, particularly when such opportunities are focused on the Port Estate in the city which is not within the Council’s ownership. 3 2.4 The city’s ability, based on current geographies is, therefore, compromised in terms of organic growth potential and where the benefits of agglomeration, enjoyed by ‘conurbation’ economies, are limited. 2.5 The city, not having the benefit of a Combined Authority status, yet still strongly supporting the Humber Local Enterprise Partnership in its growth ambitions, requires both a continual financial stability, capable of being grown locally , and the knowledge that its ‘needs’ based funding will not be compromised nor indeed be stretched even further over time. 2.6 Significantly, the tight boundary of the city not only restricts the availability of land for potential investment and growth in Business Rates, and provides for a concentration of deprivation, but also has resulted directly in the disproportionate impact on the Council of national reductions in Local Authority funding. Percentage reductions in grant funding strike hardest at the areas with high need and low property values, as such authorities are inevitably in receipt of high levels of grant support. The current Council funding regime also means that the Council is also dependent upon Business Rates Top Up Grant of £31m per annum and the continuation of this redistributive mechanism is absolutely critical to the financial sustainability of the Council. 3.1 Physical constraints - Sitting as ‘an entirely urban island’ surrounded by the East Riding of Yorkshire and the Humber Estuary; Hull has one of the most tightly drawn administrative boundaries in the country. The city’s natural suburban villages fall just outside this boundary; in the more affluent East Riding of Yorkshire, many of whose residents commute into the city for work and for retail / leisure activities etc. National statistics clearly show strong links between Hull and the East Riding (our Functional Economic Area) including commuting flows, internal migration, transport and economic and industrial specialism. 4 3.2 This ‘tight Boundary’ is demonstrated by the comparison of a sample of population densities within the region. Authority Area (Sq Km) People per square Km Hull 71 3,630 Doncaster 568 536 Wakefield 339 978 York 272 752 East Riding of Yorkshire 2,405 140 North East Lincolnshire 192 832 North Lincolnshire 846 200 4.1 Geographical and Political Isolation - It is recognised by the Northern Powerhouse, specifically the Independent Economic Review, that our contribution to the North’s economy could be enhanced. Our position is that the city does play a significant economic role but that role would be more understood and able to be supported more if the economic dynamics based on a Functional Economic Area (rather than the Primary Urban Area) were considered with the emphasis on the economic functionality of the city being supported, recognising the economic hub that is the City Centre and the fact that city centres are areas where economic and social dynamics are increasingly focused.

  • The Great British Brain Drain an Analysis of Migration to and from Newcastle
    The great British brain drain An analysis of migration to and from Newcastle March 2017 Introduction The economic performance of UK cities is increasingly dependent on the skills of their workforce. Cities across the UK face the challenge of both attracting and retaining high-skilled talent. The Great British Brain Drain investigates migration within the UK, specifically between cities.1 It finds that migrants tend to be younger and more highly-skilled than the population overall. Looking specifically at graduate migration, many university cities lose some of their graduates to London and this movement is especially strong for the highest performing graduates with 2.1 or 1st class degrees from Russell Group universities. Despite this, most university cities experience a ‘graduate gain’; they gain more graduates than they lose. This is because the majority of movements to and from cities consist of students moving to a new city for university, and then moving again for work, with over half of all graduates following this pattern. This briefing is a complementary piece of analysis to the main report, in which we look in detail at the nature of migration and graduate mobility to and from Newcastle. Firstly, it looks at overall migration patterns into and out of Newcastle. Secondly, it looks specifically at the movements of students and new graduates. Finally, it looks at the new graduate labour market in the city. Centre for Cities uses the Primary Urban Area (PUA) definition of cities. For Newcastle this comprises of Gateshead, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, North Tyneside and South Tyneside local authorities. For more information visit: www.centreforcities.org/puas.

This discussion paper, focused on population and demography, forms part of a series looking at the drivers of future infrastructure supply and demand in the UK. Its conclusions are designed to aid the Commission in putting together plausible scenarios out to 2050. The National Infrastructure Assessment will analyse the UK’s long-term economic infrastructure needs, outline a strategic vision over a 30-year time horizon and set out recommendations for how identified needs should begin to be met. It will cover transport, digital, energy, water and wastewater, flood risk and solid waste, assessing the infrastructure system as a whole. It will look across sectors, identifying and exploring the most important interdependencies. This raises significant forecasting challenges. The Assessment will consider a range of scenarios to help understand how the UK’s infrastructure requirements could change in response to different assumptions about the future. Scenarios are a widely-used approach to addressing uncertainty.

    P APER BREXIT 10 #CEPBREXIT The Local Economic Effects of Brexit Swati Dhingra, Stephen Machin and Henry G. Overman CEP BREXIT ANALYSIS No.10 The Local Economic Effects of Brexit This paper studies the local impacts of the increases in trade barriers associated with Brexit. Predictions of the local impact of Brexit are presented under two different scenarios, soft and hard Brexit. Average effects are predicted to be negative under both scenarios, and more negative under hard Brexit. The spatial variation in shocks across areas is somewhat higher under hard Brexit because some local areas are particularly specialised in sectors that are predicted to be badly hit by hard Brexit. Areas in the South of England, and urban areas, are predicted to be harder hit by Brexit under both scenarios. Again, this pattern is explained by the fact that those areas are specialised in sectors that are predicted to be badly hit by Brexit. Finally, the areas that were most likely to vote remain are those that are predicted to be most negatively impacted by Brexit.

  • The Changing Geography of the UK Economy a Review of the Primary Urban Area Definition December 2015
    The changing geography of the UK economy A review of the Primary Urban Area definition December 2015 This briefing sets out the results of the review of the primary urban area (PUA) definition of cities. The results of this review will be used as the base unit of analysis for Centre for Cities’ work from now on, starting with Cities Outlook 2016. Why Primary Urban Areas? From an economic point of view, a city is the concentration of a large amount of economic activity in a relatively small area. The best performing cities make the most of this density so that the value of what they produce is greater than the value of the inputs (workers, land etc.) that they use to produce it. This process is known as agglomeration. Given that the mission of the Centre for Cities is to look at the economies of UK cities, it is the economic concentration perspective of the city that we are most interested in. This means that we require a definition that best matches this requirement. A number of different approaches could be used, but by defining cities principally on their built up area – that is, the physical footprint of a city - the PUA definition is, in our view, the best option. Of course, the impact of a city is not limited to the borders of its built up area. All cities provide jobs (and amenities) not only for their own residents but for residents in their surrounding areas, with the most successful ones having a pull on a very wide area around them.

  • Mid-Sized Cities: Their Role in England’S Economy
    Mid-sized cities: Their role in England’s economy Tom Bolton and Paul Hildreth June 2013 “The Centre for Cities is a research and policy institute, dedicated to improving the economic success of UK cities. We are a charity that works with cities, business and Whitehall to develop and implement policy that supports the performance of urban economies. We do this through impartial research and knowledge exchange.” www.centreforcities.org Executive summary While most policymakers can name the nine largest English cities, few could also identify all the other English cities with more than 250,000 residents. In fact there are 26 of them and together they represent 14 per cent of England’s economy, in terms of both GVA and total population. This means that in simple comparison terms their collective economies are a similar size to all the Core Cities combined, and almost as large as that of London: • There are 26 mid-sized cities in England with populations between 500,000 and 250,000. • Mid-sized cities have a combined population of 8.9 million, compared to 8.8 million people in the Core Cities and 9.4 million people living in Greater London. “There are • Between 2001 and 2011 mid-sized cities accounted for 14.2 per cent of 26 mid- England’s population growth. sized cities in • In 2011 the combined Gross Value Added (GVA) of mid-sized cities amounted to 14 per cent of England’s total GVA.
