Members' Questions & Answers, Item 7. PDF 154 KB Agenda Item 5 C I T Y OF S H E F F I E L D M E T R O P O L I T A N D I S T R I C T MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL – 6 NOVEMBER 2013 COPIES OF QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS THERETO Questions Answers Questions of Councillor Shaffaq Mohammed to the Leader of the Council (Councillor Julie Dore) 1. What progress has been made in We have commenced all actions to seeking an alternative partner to enable the development of the develop the Sevenstone project? Sevenstone project that we are legally able to do. 2. What action have you personally taken • I led the negotiation of the city to ensure Sheffield City Region deal with private sector leaders maximises the potential of the Sheffield from the LEP Board (eg. James City Deal? Newman, Nigel Brewster). Drove a hard bargain with the Government, successfully getting the devolution of £27.8m of national skills money and getting a range of powers for Sheffield on finance and transport which will help transform the city region. • Sheffield has taken a lead role but this is a new approach to governance in SCR with shared leadership by public and private sectors in the city region. The city is the key economic driving force in the city region but our economy doesn’t stop at the LA boundaries so the 9 leaders of the city region are critical • The City Region are overseeing the successful delivery of the city deal and ensuring that Sheffield and all the city region areas get the maximum out of it. So, for example, we’ve already created over 400 additional Page 1 apprenticeships for the city region, despite the Government delaying us getting on with delivery. Where the Government’s skills system doesn’t work, we are finding new ways to make sure that residents and businesses get the skills they need – so we’ve brought in new courses where businesses couldn’t get the training courses they needed in SCR. We’ve worked hard with people applying for apprenticeships, making sure they are in the best position to get the apprenticeship places being created through the city deal. • As a city region, we also set out our first phase of investments through the SCR Investment Fund – transforming the infrastructure of the city region over the next decade. None of that would have happened without the deal and the leadership shown in the city region. 3.

It is a great example of a shared initiative which will support the city region to get more power from Government and so that we can take a joint approach to growing the economy, investing in our infrastructure and supporting people and businesses to get the skills our economy needs. It is regrettable that you tried to stop this when it was passed through Council. 3 Page 3 Questions of Councillor Jillian Creasy to Councillor Jackie Drayton (Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Families) With respect to the latest changes at Sharrow Children’s Centre (the loss of the three outreach workers), please can you answer the following questions: 1.

Questions of Councillor Colin Ross to Councillor Jackie Drayton (Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Families) 1. When did you decide to tender contracts The Cabinet report in February 2013 for early years’ prevention and set out the intention to conduct a intervention services for just seven fair, open and transparent months? procurement process which would provide opportunities for smaller voluntary and community organisations to tender for services, along with larger organisations and charities. A majority of respondents to the consultation on this subject agreed with this approach. A procurement model was developed, recognising that smaller voluntary and community organisations needed to develop their ability to write quality bids for contracts and to ensure that they were not squeezed out of the market for a number of years. Providers have been appointed to a framework agreement which will enable annual contracts to be awarded over a four year period via a mini-competition process, once budget information for those financial years has been determined. Clearly, as the procurement process took place part way through the first financial year, the initial contract period was for a part year and in line with available budget for the remainder of that year. The Council has provided assistance to bidding organisations by offering tender workshops and drop-in sessions and will also provide comprehensive feedback to bidders to enable them to improve their chances of success in the mini- 5 Page 5 competition process. Providers who chose to withdraw their offers have taken their own business decisions which we have no control over but you should note that none of those providers have declined acceptance of their position on the framework agreement and still wish to be considered for contracts for future years. 2. Did you consider tendering these Please see response to Q 1 above contracts for a longer period? 3.

The main reasons indicated were around TUPE of staff. 5. Do you accept the failure to tender five of The tender for Children and the six contracts within early years’ Families Services was not a failure, prevention and intervention services in fact it resulted in a total of 15 represents a damning indictment of your providers being successfully policy? appointed to a framework agreement, across 3 separate lots, which will enable mini-competition for contracts over the next 4 years. It was always the Council’s intention to award 9 service contracts to external providers across those 3 lots for the remainder of 2013/14. We have successfully entered into 4 contracts with 4 separate providers and were disappointed that a further 3 providers, who had between them won the other 4 contracts for 2013/14, decided to withdraw their offers having been informed of their success. We have no control over the decisions made by providers, what we can do now, having 6 Page 6 decided to temporarily concentrate on the provision of Intervention Services, is to review the service and inform our commissioning decisions for future years.

  • Stephen Mallinder. “Sheffield Is Not Sexy.”
    Nebula 4.3 , September 2007 Sheffield is not Sexy. By Stephen Mallinder Abstract The city of Sheffield’s attempts, during the early 1980s, at promoting economic regeneration through popular cultural production were unconsciously suggestive of later creative industries strategies. Post-work economic policies, which became significant to the Blair government a decade later, were evident in urban centres such as Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield in nascent form. The specificity of Sheffield’s socio-economic configuration gave context, not merely to its industrial narrative but also to the city’s auditory culture, which was to frame well intended though subsequently flawed strategies for regeneration. Unlike other cities, most notably Manchester, the city’s mono-cultural characteristics failed to provide an effective entrepreneurial infrastructure on which to build immediate economic response to economic rationalisation and regional decline. Top-down municipal policies, which embraced the city’s popular music, gave centrality to cultural production in response to a deflated regional economy unable, at the time, to sustain rejuvenation through cultural consumption. Such embryonic strategies would subsequently become formalised though creative industry policies developing relationships with local economies as opposed to urban engineering through regional government. Building upon the readings of industrial cities such as Liverpool, New Orleans and Chicago, the post-work leisure economy has increasingly addressed the significance of the auditory effect in cities such as Manchester and Sheffield. However the failure of the talismanic National Centre for Popular Music signifies the inherent problems of institutionalizing popular cultural forms and resistance of sound to be anchored and contained. The city’s sonic narrative became contained in its distinctive patterns of cultural production and consumption that ultimately resisted attempts at compartmentalization and representation through what became colloquially known as ‘the museum of popular music’.

  • Overcoming the Dichotomy of Implementing Societal Flood Risk Management While Conserving Instream Fish Habitat – a Long-Term Study from a Highly Modified Urban River

This manuscript version is made available under the CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 1 Abstract Flood Risk Management (FRM) is often essential to reduce the risk of flooding to properties and infrastructure in urban landscapes, but typically degrades the habitats required by many aquatic animals for foraging, refuge and reproduction. This conflict between flood risk management and biodiversity is driven by conflicting directives, such as the EU Floods and Water Framework Directives, and has led to a requirement for synergistic solutions for FRM that integrate river restoration actions. Unfortunately, ecological monitoring and appraisal of combined FRM and river restoration works is inadequate. This paper uses a case study from the River Don in Northern England to evaluate the effects of the FRM and subsequent river restoration works on instream habitat and the associated fish assemblage over an 8-year period. Flood risk management created a homogeneous channel but did not negatively affect fish species composition or densities, specifically brown trout.
