    19/10 DECISION UNDER DELEGATED POWERS DECISION CANNOT BE TAKEN BEFORE TUESDAY, 20 APRIL 2010 Title HIGHWAYS & TRANSPORT FEES AND CHARGES 2010/11 Report Author REPORT TO THE CABINET MEMBER FOR ENVIRONMENT & TRANSPORT PURPOSE 1. To recommend increases in fees and charges by more than inflation of 1.5% and to introduce new fees and charges with effect from 1 April 2010. OUTCOMES 2. A decision whether or not to increase specific fees and charges by more than inflation. BACKGROUND 3. The constitution states that it is the responsibility of Directors and Heads of Services to maximise income through charging and trading as well as any other sources of additional funding. 4. Fees and charges must be applied consistently to all and be in accordance with Council Policies. These should be reviewed annually to ensure they remain current and take into account proper inflationary increases and other new charges. 5. Where an increase in fees or charges by more than the inflationary rate is thought appropriate authority must be sought from the cabinet portfolio holder to bring those increases into effect STRATEGIC CONTEXT 6. This report proposes increases of existing or introduction of new charges in the following areas that align with the Council’s Value for Money strategy and contribute to the Corporate Theme of Delvering Better Services: Fees for lost or replacement bus passes 7. Currently the charges made for the replacement for all types of bus pass, whether they be scholars term tickets or free passes for senior citizens or people with disability, are set at £5.

  • Passenger Information During Snow Disruption December 2010
    Passenger information during snow disruption December 2010 A Rail passenger Information during snow disruption December 2010 Headline Findings 1. The National Rail Enquiries (NRE) website appears to have coped well with very high volumes 2. The online real time journey planner on the NRE website did not show correct information for some train operating companies (TOCs) 3. The online journey planners on TOC and third-party websites did not generally reflect the contingency timetables in operation 4. Tickets continued to be available for sale online for many trains that would not run 5. Station displays appear to have reflected formal contingency timetables, except for Southeastern 6. Station displays and online Live Departure Boards did not always keep pace with events 7. The NRE call centres appear to have provided good information, but queuing times of 11 or 12 minutes were common. 1 The National Rail Enquiries appears to have coped well with very high volumes We saw no evidence that the NRE website crashed or was slower than usual, despite a large spike in volume (Chris Scoggins reported that the volume on 2 December was twice the previous record peak on 7 January 2010). 2 The online real time journey planner on the NRE website did not show correct information for some train operating companies NRE had to advise passengers not to use the journey planner for enquiries about East Coast, Southeastern and South West Trains. This was a significant failure, with three scenarios: 2a Although the journey planner showed services from a contingency timetable for East Coast on 1 and 2 December, it also showed services from the base timetable that were no longer running.

At that time, Northwood ‘broke the mould’ in that we became the first unparished area in the country to receive funding from a RCC for its Parish Plan. With our new Parish Council being established next year, it is with pride that our community has created this Parish Plan based upon the views that Northwood holds most passionately. I hope when reading this Plan it becomes clear how strongly some residents feel about Northwood, and what we can do as a community to preserve, enhance and develop the village for future generations. By doing much of the work ourselves, we have ensured that sufficient funding remains to allow each household in the village to receive a copy of this Plan. I would like to thank everyone who has contributed, all local and all voluntarily, particularly my predecessors Mike Andrew and Councillor Roger Mazillius, for being ’volunteered’ to co- ordinate the Plan when nobody else wanted to! The time to prepare, write and evaluate the consultation processes for the Parish Plan has been immense, and created many sleepless nights for those involved.

    COWES TOWN COUNCIL Minutes of the Twenty seventh Annual Town Meeting held in the Community Hall, Northwood House, Cowes on Wednesday 20 th April, 2011 at 7.00 p.m., convened under the provision of section 99 and schedule 12 of the Local Government Act, 1972. Present: Councillor Wells (Town Mayor) (Chairman) Councillors Banks, Birch, Brown, Jones, McGregor, Matthews, Thwaites, Walters, Sgt. Sizer, PCSO Oatley and three other members of the public. 164. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE Apologies for absence were received from Councillors Hammond, Mazillius, Peacey-Wilcox, Wilcox and I.W. Councillor Brown. 165. MINUTES RESOLVED That the Minutes of the twenty sixth Annual Town Meeting held on 19 th May, 2010 be taken as read, approved as correct record and signed by the Chairman. 166. REPORT OF THE BUSINESS OF THE TOWN COUNCIL Councillor Wells (Town Mayor) submitted a report of the business of the Town Council during the past year as follows: This past municipal year has seen some major changes in the work of Cowes Town Council as it has taken on a number of new responsibilities and seen some major projects come to fruition. It has been a turbulent year with some large financial restrictions in the public sector and Councillors have had to take some difficult decisions to try and minimise the impact that these financial cuts have on the Town. Without wishing to be over self congratulatory, I would like to pay tribute to my colleagues for working together in a very professional manner in some difficult circumstances, which have often been in the past year against a background of hostility and criticism.
