4.0 BACKGROUND

Community Budget

4.1 A summary of spending against Local Committee discretionary budgets is provided at Appendix A. Further details can be provided to councillors on request. Monitoring reports will be provided to local committee members at each committee meeting, to summarise the most up to date position with regard to the Communities Budget, taking account of decisions taken by the Local Committee. Further information concerning spending against the

14 spending from the discretionary grants budget lines is available from the Area Support Team and reported to the grants panel as required. Proposals for the allocation of remaining funds will be brought to committee at its next meeting. Local Committee Strategic Grants Panel 4.2 Attached at Appendix B is a summary of the grants considered by the Strategic Grants Panel at its most recent meeting, including the recommendations of this group in respect of grant applications. Further information can be made available to any councillor on request. Local Committee is invited to approve the recommendations of this group. Public Health Locality Grants 4.3 It was agreed during last financial year to allocate a proportion of our local Public Health funding from 2015 to work around employability in Carlisle locality. This has evolved into a strategic multi-agency project aimed at getting people into work and supporting people in work. One of the key priorities being taken forward is the establishment of a Fairness Charter for Carlisle. This is currently being developed, with a view to launching in early 2018. It will include promotion and targeted awareness raising with employers across the district, with a particular focus on private sector and small to medium enterprises. Members will be kept informed on progress, but in the meantime, below is the draft wording for the Charter, which will have a dedicated web presence for businesses to pledge their support and access a range of associated benefits for their employees “Welcome to the Carlisle Fairness Charter. Carlisle is committed to becoming one of the fairest and healthiest cities in the country. We’re looking for local employers who will support this ambition, recognising that fairness and good health is important for the city, its workforce and economic growth. The Carlisle Fairness Charter is based on principles that will help to make working in our city better for everyone. Any employer, large or small, can sign the charter – you only have to commit to the principles to become a supporter. Show your support for fairness and better health at work in Carlisle - simply tick the boxes below to sign the Carlisle Fairness Charter.

As an employer in Carlisle and District, I confirm my support for the aims of the Carlisle Fairness Charter and aspire to…  Promote a safe and healthy work environment and a culture of fairness  Provide information and support to the workforce on active lifestyles, mental wellbeing, healthy diet, smoking and alcohol, together with opportunities to be involved in healthy activities  Identify and support talent, value diversity and promote aspiration and social mobility  Promote the Carlisle Fairness Charter to other local organisations.”

15 Area Planning issues 4.4 Members were advised at last local committee that a review of Library Link facilities offered at Lady Gillford House was underway. The review found extremely low numbers and as a result the facility was withdrawn on 30th November 2017 with clients being directed to Harraby Campus library link or the main library in The Lanes 4.5 As Carlisle’s community centres work to become more Dementia Friendly the cabinet member for Public Health and Community Services has requested that the Community Development Team reports on the success in each centre in achieving a Dementia Friendly quality mark, the difference the funding has made for people with dementia and what plans centres have in place to increase services for dementia sufferers as a result of the new signage. This report could include data from the centres on current numbers of users with dementia and how this might be increased. The report should be used to highlight and showcase how centres can become examples of best practice across the city and will be included in the forward plan of items for this Committee.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 Members may choose to approve, vary or reject the recommendations in respect to the grants relating to the General Provision budget. Members may wish to comment on other aspects contained within the report.

6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1 Following it’s meeting on 14th November, the Local Committee has unallocated resources of £70,924 in its General Provision. Should recommendations 3.2. to 3.5. in this report be agreed, £8,664 will be committed from this budget, leaving £62,260 available for future allocation. 6.2 The Local Committee has unallocated resources of £771 in its 0-19 Services Budget. Should recommendations 3.6. to 3.8. be agreed, £2,170 will be committed. This could be funded by allocating the remaining £771 from the 0-19 Services budget and the balance of £1,399 from the General Provision, which would leave £60,861 in that budget for future allocation.

7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1 Recommendation 3.1 is an item for members to note. There are, therefore, no direct legal implications. 7.2 In relation to recommendations 3.2 – 3.5, under Part 2D paragraph 2.4(h) of the Constitution, Local Committee has the function to: “Determine applications for grants, loans and contributions to outside bodies, voluntary organisations, individuals or third sector organisations (which are not specifically delegated to an officer) within a policy approved by the Cabinet”

16 7.3 In relation to recommendations 3.6 – 3.8, under Part 2D paragraph 2.4(o) of the Constitution, Local Committee has the function to: “Allocate, in accordance with the guidance agreed by Cabinet (on 3 March 2011), funds from the 0-19 services budget in order to support positive activities, both targeted and mainstream, designed to improve outcomes for children and young people and reduce inequalities and, in doing so, ensure that projects should address at least one of the following criteria: (i) Providing access to play, recreational, leisure or outdoor activities.

The following representatives from Virgin Media attended the meeting to update members on the works that had been undertaken in the Carlisle area – Rory Sherwood-Parkin, Regional Affairs Manager, Chris Welch, Statutory and Streetworks Engineer and Jonathan Hyde, Community Liaison Officer.

The Working Group were informed that Virgin Media were dissatisfied with the performance of their contract partner, therefore, it had been agreed to pause the works in Carlisle to initially deal with the backlog of reinstatements and reassess the Contract. It was noted that the main complaint was regarding defects and the poor quality of reinstatements.

51 Members raised their concerns at the number of complaints which they had received from constituents and the lack of any communication from Virgin Media. It was agreed that a specific contact would be made available to members for future complaints.

During the course of discussion it was suggested that a visible compensation gift to enhance a particular area should be considered by Virgin Media.

The local Member for Botcherby raised specific concerns in his division and it was agreed more specific information would be provided direct.

A discussion took place regarding the position of cabinets and it was agreed a copy of the Code of Practice would be circulated to the Working Group.

In conclusion Virgin Media emphasised their commitment to work with the Authority’s Road and Streetworks Manager to ensure works undertaken were in accordance with the specific standards set by the County Council.

73 HADRIAN'S CYCLE ROUTE - NATIONAL CYCLE ROUTE 72 (CARLISLE- CUMBERLAND INFIRMARY LINK)

The Working Group received a report from the Corporate Director – Economy and Highways regarding the proposed Hadrian’s Cycle Route – National Cycle Route 72 (Carlisle-Cumberland Infirmary Link) which sought agreement to progressing some feasibility and design work for improvements along National Cycle Route 72 (Hadrian’s Cycle Route). It was explained to members that the scheme would be funded by a local business in advance.

The Working Group welcomed the approach from a local business to fund some of the improvements considered necessary along the route within the City. Members agreed to proceed to a feasibility study and design but emphasised that there should be no long-term commitment at this stage until plans and ongoing costs were available.

Members noted that the report did not seek approval to make any physical changes at this stage. It was explained that a further report would be developed and presented to the Highways and Transport Working Group for consideration should the Local Committee agree the recommendation.

RECOMMENDED, that

(1) feasibility and design works be undertaken for improvements along National Cycle Route 72 (Hadrian’s Cycle Route);

(2) no commitment or liability be agreed at this stage;

52 (3) a further report be made available at a future meeting of the Working Group.

RECOMMENDED, that the Devolved Highways Draft Capital Programme for 2018/19 (as detailed in the Appendix 1 of the report) be approved in outline subject to confirmation of the budget allocation by Cabinet in February 2018.

75 2017/18 HIGHWAYS BUDGET/PROGRAMME PROGRESS REPORT

The Working Group considered a report by the Corporate Director – Economy and Highways which presented the Highways Revenue, Devolved Capital and Non- Devolved Capital budget finance reports, combined with the highways programme progress information.

(2) the programme progress information (as shown in appendices 1, 2 and 3 of the report);

(3) the Highways Revenue budget has been split for use against various budget headings;

(4) the schemes being delivered using the NPRN Devolved Highways Capital schemes (Additional) budget allocation be agreed as follows:-

53 Carriageways £426,395 Additional Surface Dressing £200,000 Permanent Carriageway Repairs £167,000 Additional Pre-surface Treatment Patching £59,395

Drainage £149,000 Drainage Investigation and Identification £50,000 Minor Drainage Repairs £25,000 Crosby Drainage £12,000

76 SCOTCH STREET BOLLARDS - UPDATE

The Working Group received an update from the Highway Network Manager on the progress with the Scotch Street bollards.

The Working Group were informed that currently a fault in the loop system had been repaired by installing new loops and the system was functioning reasonably well. It was explained that regular maintenance was required to the bollards. Members noted that the current committed cost estimate was £5,800.

The Working Group noted that vehicles were routinely parking in the bell mouth to drop off or pick up despite regular enforcement with some unauthorised vehicular access within the city centre zone. It was explained that an employee of the City or County Council was required to attend the site to raise and lower the bollards as required.

It was outlined that officers were considering recommending the use of CCTV at the location at an estimated cost of £8,000 to:

 enable the use of remote operation for the bollards  help enforce parking restriction in the bell mouth  deter anti-social behaviour  monitor traffic  remove the need for a loop system, therefore, reduce maintenance.

The City Engineer offered their redundant CCTV to the Authority for their use.

The Working Group were informed that the next steps included:-

54  short term – continue with the current arrangements. Replace the current padlocks on the bollards with adjustable combination locks;

 medium term – officers review the current arrangements and present the Working Group with alternative arrangements that potentially included enhancements such as CCTV;

 long term – the costs and benefits of the bollards in their current form should be considered against other alternatives. The bollards would need to be replaced in the future and the recent failure had highlighted this was only a short term view.

Members agreed that a further report should be considered at the next meeting of the Working Group.

RECOMMENDED, that a further report be considered at the next meeting of the Working Group.

77 REVIEW OF FORWARD PLAN

The Forward Plan was noted.

78 DATE OF NEXT MEETING

It was noted that the next meeting of the Working Group would be held on Wednesday 14 February 2018 at 10.00 am at Cumbria House, Botchergate, Carlisle.

The meeting ended at 11.30 am

HADRIAN’S CYCLE ROUTE - NATIONAL CYCLE ROUTE 72 (CARLISLE – CUMBERLAND INFIRMARY LINK)

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 This report seeks a recommendation from the Highways and Transport Working Group that the Local Committee agree to progressing some feasibility and design work for improvements along National Cycle Route 72 (Hadrian’s Cycle Route).

1.2 The scheme will be funded by local business in advance.

1.3 This report does not seek approval to make any physical changes at this stage. A further report will be developed and presented to the Highways and Transport Working Group for consideration should the Local Committee agree the Recommendation.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS

2.1 The Working Group is asked to recommend that Local Committee approve the feasibility and design works required to progress the scheme.

2.2 The proposal is being supported by Carlisle City Council, SusTrans and Carlisle City Cycling groups.

2.3 There is no requirement for an Equality Impact Assessment at this stage. An equality Impact Assessment will be undertaken prior to any proposal being brought back to the Group for consideration.

3.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

3.1 That the Working Group recommends that Local Committee approve that feasibility and design works are undertaken for improvements along National Cycle Route 72 (Hadrian’s Cycle Route).

57 4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 The Hadrians Cycle route (National Route No 72) starts at Muncaster and heads north following the coastline of Cumbria. The route follows the shoreline of the Solway before heading east and through Carlisle. Once out of Carlisle the route heads east following Hadrians Wall all the way to South Shields (shown as a yellow line on the plan below).

4.2 Recognising that the western end of the route is not as desirable for cyclists and cycle tourism, as the remainder of the route, Sustrans are bidding for funding to improve the western end of the route. Unfortunately applications for funding urban area improvements are not being considered.

4.3 It is generally the urban section of the route that is regarded as poor quality and could be considered to have a negative impact on cycle tourism within the area.

4.4 A Local Business has approached Carlisle City Council and Cumbria County Council with an offer to fund some of the improvements considered necessary along the route within the City that is not supported by other funding.

4.5 At an early meeting (held 15/11/2017) between the City Council, the County Council, the Local Business, Sustrans and Carlisle City Cycling group County Council Officers were asked to seek approval from the Carlisle Local Committee so that progress could be made in the development of a scheme.

4.6 Officers agreed to take a proposal to the Highways and Transport Working Group at the earliest opportunity recommending to the Local Committee that further work be permitted on the development of the scheme.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 Members can approve the recommendation.

5.2 Members can refuse to make the Recommendation.

58 6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1 The proposal has a low financial risk. Funding for the scheme will be provided through local business in advance.

6.2 A small amount of resources will be required to facilitate the scheme and report back to the Highways and Transport Working Group.

6.3 The County Council is not expecting any additional maintenance liability.

6.4 The feasibility and design work is intended to clarify the resource and value for money implications of any potential improvements.

7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1 The County Council may have a statutory duty to maintain parts of the existing route. In certain circumstances the Council could be held liable for injury damage or loss caused to users as a result of failure to take responsible precautions to secure their safe use of the route.

7.2 It is not clear at this stage if any land which may be required for any improvements would have any legal implications.

7.3 The feasibility and design work is intended to clarify the legal implications of any potential improvements.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 At this stage the scheme is considered low risk, and should remain so with private funding secured in advance.

8.2 The proposed feasibility and design work, if undertaken, should provide the Local Committee with a more detailed proposal about the improvements.

8.3 The scheme is considered desirable. Improvements to the existing cycle network reduce demand on the highway, provide cycle tourism, improve health, reduced CO2 and access to the countryside.

8.4 By making the most of local business, and financial support offers we receive we may be able to fund more schemes and more improvements in the future.

CARLISE HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORT WORKING GROUP

Meeting date: 05 December 2017

From: Corporate Director – Economy and Highways

DRAFT DEVOLVED HIGHWAYS CAPITAL PROGRAMME 2018/19

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 This report seeks a recommendation from the Highways and Transport Working Group that the Local Committee approve the Draft Devolved Highways Capital Programme for 2018/19.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS

2.1 The Working Group is asked to recommend that Local Committee approve the draft 2018/19 programme of highways capital works. It is anticipated that Cabinet will confirm the devolved highways budget allocations for 2018/19 in February 2018 and a further report will be presented after this date, to confirm the programme based on the actual budget allocation.

2.2 The proposals support the Cumbria Community Strategy vision and the priorities of the Council Plan that include:-  Challenging poverty in all its forms,  Ensuring that the most vulnerable people in our communities received the support they need; and  Improving the changes in life of the most disadvantaged in Cumbria 2.3 There is no requirement for an Equality Impact Assessment at this stage. Equality Impact Assessments will be undertaken on a scheme specific basis for those Works which receive approval to proceed and exceptions will be brought back to the Group for consideration.

3.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

3.1 That the Working Group notes and considers the prioritisation of proposed works and recommends that the Local Committee approve in outline the devolved Highways Draft Capital Programme for 2018/19, as detailed in the attached Appendix 1 subject to confirmation of the budget allocation by Cabinet in February 2018.

61 4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 GENERAL

4.1.1 The Devolved Highways Capital Programme for the Non Principal Road Network (NPRN) has been split into the following budget headings; Surface Treatment Programme Major Structural Carriageway Schemes Minor Structural Carriageway Works Hardening of Grassed Verges Schemes Minor Footway & Cycleway Schemes Drainage and Remedial Earthworks Schemes Road Lighting Schemes Minor Highway Improvement Schemes Traffic Signals Schemes 4.1.2 The intent of the NPRN programme is to maintain and to improve the condition of the highway network. The aim, to arrest further disintegration of the carriageway network by patching, localised reconstruction and surface treatments. The greater proportion of the programme is targeted towards the needs of the carriageway and where the demand is greatest.

4.1.3 The identification and priority of the programme has been determined using an asset management approach that uses a number of different methods including, priority assessed scoring (PAS), Course Visual Inspection (CVI), demand from complaints and defects identified through safety inspections and feedback from the Better Highways teams. Schemes will be prepared using the Better Highways principals of right first time together with ensuring all the needs and contributions to the cause of deterioration are addressed.

4.1.4 Since 2016/17 the government, through the Department for Transport (DfT), has allocated highway maintenance funding to local authorities using an ‘Incentive Fund’ formula. The formula measures the progress the authority has made in developing and delivering an asset management led approach to the maintenance of its highways infrastructure.

4.1.5 The ‘Incentive Fund’ requires Local Authorities to self-assess their current position against a number of specific criteria, and in doing so will grade themselves at Level 1, 2 or 3, with Level 1 being the poorest performing and 3 the highest. In 2017/18 authorities in Level 3 received the same level of funding as in 2016/17, with Level 1 and 2 authorities saw a reduction in their allocation. Cumbria County Council achieved Level 3 in 2017/18.

4.1.6 The suggested extended programmes of work for 2018/19 are presented, in full, in the attached Appendix 1, in which all of the proposed schemes are listed in a prioritised order. This report makes no recommendations at this stage about the split in the 2018/19 budget against the various works headings.

4.1.7 The anticipated Highways Capital base allocation devolved to this committee for 2018/19 is £3,198,000.

62 4.2 SURFACE TREATMENT PROGRAMME

4.2.1 Surface treatments are carried out to seal the road surface from the ingress of water and also provide a fresh textured surface. They are a cost effective method of preserving the highway Asset. There are two main types surface dressing and micro asphalt;

Surface Dressing is a process that involved spraying bitumen and dry chippings, normally carried out on rural roads.

Micro Asphalt is a pre mixed application, more suitable for urban routes.

4.2.2 Prior to routes receiving Surface Treatment it is considered good practice to ensure they are structurally sound and repaired by undertaking Minor Structural Carriageway Work (see para 4.4).

4.3 MAJOR STRUCTURAL CARRIAGEWAY SCHEMES

4.3.1 This work comprises the bulk of the programme and represents the larger schemes necessary to repair and maintain the network.

4.3.2 The structural carriageway schemes have been identified and assessed and are listed in priority order.

4.4 MINOR STRUCTURAL CARRIAGEWAY WORKS

4.4.1 The title of this budget heading can be misleading as it refers to the nature and extent of the repairs, rather than the value and importance of the programme.

Minor Structural Carriageway Works covers most of the patching and preparation work necessary to keep the network safe and secure.

After Minor Structural Carriageway Work it is considered good practice to ensure the area receives some Surface Treatment (see para 4.2) within a year or two.

4.4.2 Some provision remains in the 2018/19 programme for the completion of either; urgent permanent carriageway repairs that are identified during the year or, the acceleration of works currently in the 2019/20 prioritised scheme list.

4.4.3 Following on from the successful use in previous years, a small hand operated spray tank will be used to make minor surface dressing repairs. This cost effective technique will concentrate on the minor road network with works identified and prioritised by the Better Highways.

4.5 HARDENING OF GRASSED VERGES SCHEMES

4.5.1 The hardening of grassed verges schemes have been identified and are listed in priority order.

63 4.6 MINOR FOOTWAY AND CYCLE SCHEMES

4.6.1 The footway schemes have been identified and are listed in priority order.

4.7 DRAINANGE AND REMIDIAL EARTHWORKS SCHEMES

4.7.1 The drainage and remedial earthworks schemes are still being identified and will be undertaken in a prioritised order.

4.8 ROAD LIGHTING SCHEMES

4.8.1 The road Lighting schemes have been identified and listed in priority order.

4.9 MINOR HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT SCHEMES

4.9.1 The Minor Highways Improvements programme is the part of the devolved Highways Capital budget that provides for minor highway and transport improvement schemes. The programme captures all the various requests from Neighbourhood Forums, Local Members, Parish Councils and those identified though groups like CRASH (Casualty Reduced and Safer Highways). The financial limit for individual schemes remains at £250,000.

4.9.2 The minor highways improvement schemes are listed in priority order.

4.10 TRAFFIC SIGNALS SCHEMES

4.10.1 The traffic signal schemes are still being identified and will be undertaken in a prioritised order.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 Members can approve the devolved Highways Draft Capital Programme for 2018/19 as attached as Appendix 1, or amend the priorities and propose additional schemes for consideration and inclusion.

6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1 The proposals detailed in the report are aimed at maximising the area of defective highway that can be restored to a reasonable and safe condition, which should prevent the formation of potholes.

6.2 The final budget available devolved to the Local Committee will not be known with certainty until February 2018 when Council set the budget for 2018/19.

6.3 The information detailed in the report and appendices will allow Local Committee to comment and indicate the priority areas to be considered but a revised programme will need to be presented to local committee once the budget has been approved.

64 7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1 The County Council is under a statutory duty to maintain the highway and in certain circumstances can be held liable for injury damage or loss caused to users of the highway as a result of failure to take responsible precautions to secure their safe use of the highway.

7.2 The object allocation of scarce highway maintenance resources on the basis of demonstrable need targeted at known defect areas or carriageway/footway liable to give rise to potentially hazardous defects supports the Councils statutory defence against third party claims.

7.3 When allocating and moving money between budgets, Local Committee must follow the rules set by the Council following its consideration of the “Revenue Budget 2017/18 and Medium Term Financial Plan (2017-2020) and Draft Capital Programme (2017-2022)” report on 16 February 2017 and any such additional restrictions set by Cabinet and/or Council regulating the use of such funds.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 The devolved Highways Draft Capital Programme for 2018/19will ensure that we are working towards improving the greatest amount of the deteriorating highway network through significant investment in preventative maintenance.

2017/18 HIGHWAYS BUDGET / PROGRAMME PROGRESS REPORT

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 This report presents the Highways Revenue, Devolved Capital and Non-Devolved Capital Budget finance reports, combined with the highways programme progress information, as detailed in the attached appendices.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS

2.1 This Committee’s devolved 2017/18 Cash Limited Budget was determined by the County Council on 16 February 2017. The Local Committee is able to vire funding between budget lines during the course of the financial year, subject to Corporate Policy and Service Standards. The Committee is not able to vire funding from capital budgets into revenue budgets. 2.2 The Highways Revenue budget for 2017/18 is £1,342,731 2.3 The Devolved Highways Capital budget for 2017/18 is £3,986,000 2.4 The Non-devolved Highways Capital budget for 2017/18 is £9,600,252

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 That Local Committee note the revenue and capital budget allocations for 2017/18 and the commitments and expenditure recorded in Appendices 1, 2 and 3. 3.2 That Local Committee note the programme progress information shown in Appendices 1, 2 and 3. 3.3 That Local Committee note the Highways Revenue budget has been split for use against various budget headings. 3.4 That Local Committee note the schemes being delivered using the NPRN Devolved Highways Capital schemes (Additional) budget allocation.

71 4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 The highways Revenue budget allocation for 2017/18 is £1,366,694. This is reduced by the overspend carried forward from 2016/17 of £23,963 to £1,342,731. Forecast outturn figures and comments on programme progress are shown in Appendix 1. Works ordered against the highways revenue budget are delivered through a combination of the in-house workforce for Better Highways, Street Lighting activities and drainage cleansing and external contractors for verge maintenance, road markings and traffic signals maintenance. 4.2 The devolved highways Capital budget allocation for 2017/18 is £3,986,000. Forecast outturn figures and comments on programme progress are shown in Appendix 2. Works ordered against the devolved highways capital budget are delivered through a combination of in-house construction teams and external framework contractors, notably for machine-laid road surfacing work and surface dressing. 4.3 The Non-devolved highways Capital programme for 2017/18 is estimated at around £9,600,252. Comments on programme progress are shown in Appendix 3. Works ordered against the non-devolved highways capital programme includes works on the Principal Road Network, Engineering Safety Schemes, Priority Transport Improvement Schemes, Bridges and Structures, National Productivity Investment Fund (NPIF) and the Infrastructure Recovery Programme (IRP). The programme is split into a number of headings. 4.4 All financial figures reported are those known during the writing of the report.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 The Committee may vire devolved funding between budget headings. 5.2 The Committee may not vire money from capital budgets into the revenue budgets. 5.3 Non-devolved capital costs are provided for information only.

6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1 The Local Committee Highways budgets as indicated were approved by Council in February 2017. It is for Local Committee to allocate resources to specified programmes of work. 6.2 The Highways Revenue budget is not forecasting any underspend or overspend during the current financial year. 6.3 The Devolved Highways Capital budget is currently forecasting slippage of £49,000 due to the need to postpone the Caldew Cycleway Scheme until next year.

72 7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1 The recommendations are items for Local Committee to note. There are, therefore, no direct legal implications.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 The highways revenue budget is not forecasting any underspend or overspend during the current financial year. 8.2 The devolved highways capital budget is forecasting slippage of £49,000. 8.3 The delivery of the non-devolved highways capital works schemes is as shown on the programme.

COUNTY COUNCIL LOCAL COMMITTEE FOR CARLISLE

Meeting date: 9 January 2018

From: Corporate Director – Economy and Highways

PARKING SERVICES UPDATE

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 This report provides an update to Members on the enforcement of on and selected off-street parking in the Carlisle Local Committee area.

2.0 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS

2.1 The management of parking contributes to achieving the aims of the Moving Cumbria Forward: Cumbria Transport Plan Strategy 2011 – 2026 and specifically supports delivery of the Cumbria Community Strategy 2008 – 2028 and the Council Plan priorities:  To safeguard children and support families and schools so that all children in Cumbria can grow up in a safe environment, and can fulfil their potential.  To support older, disabled and vulnerable people to live independent and healthy lives.  To enable communities to help shape their local services, promote health and wellbeing and support those in poverty.  To provide a safe and well managed highways network, secure infrastructure improvements and support local economic growth.  To be a modern and efficient council. 2.2 There are no equality implications arising out of this report and parking management policies and procedures take account of the needs of people with impaired mobility.

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 It is recommended that Members note this report as an update on the performance of the on and selected off-street parking enforcement service in the Carlisle locality. 3.2 It is also recommended that Members identify any ongoing issues with enforcement and parking management in their divisions so that these can be considered in making improvements to the service.

89 4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 The Service’s key aims and objectives are to:  Manage parking to improve road safety and traffic movement.  Issue residents and visitors parking permits for approximately 7000 properties in the Carlisle locality in addition to contractor’s waivers, guest house permits and carer’s permits.  Manage available parking to the benefit of the local economy and community.  Cover the costs of enforcement, including parking restriction signs and lines, from Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) income.  Provide a better understood service and improved public facing role for Civil Enforcement Officers (CEOs) who will act as ambassadors on behalf of the Council. 4.2 The majority of off-street parking enforcement still rests with the district councils and appropriate land owners. The decision to bring the on-street service back in-house was made to ensure the delivery of a cost effective and consistent parking enforcement service across the county. CEOs enforce parking restrictions where Traffic Regulation Orders are in force. Elsewhere, where parking causes an obstruction of the highway, the police are responsible for enforcement as with moving traffic offences. 4.3 A total of 7899 Penalty Charge Notices were issued for on-street parking contraventions in the Carlisle locality between 01 April 2017 and 30 November 2017 and the table below provides a monthly breakdown of this. A total of 7140 Penalty Charge Notices were issued for on-street parking contraventions in the Carlisle locality in the same period in 2016/17.

Month Penalty Charge Notices issued

April 2017 822

May 2017 979

June 2017 878

July 2017 978

August 2017 845

September 2017 1091

October 2017 1065

November 2017 1241

90 4.4 In the Carlisle locality the Parking Services team (the Team) consists of 8 full-time equivalent CEOs who also cover the Eden locality. 5.5 CEOs are allocated to the Carlisle locality. In addition a mainly operational Parking Team Leader covers both the Carlisle and Eden localities and is tasked to liaise with local communities to address parking concerns and provide a first point of contact for Member queries. 4.5 The Team deals with a number of requests for service and complaints from residents, businesses, visitors and other stakeholders concerning parking related issues which are dealt with according to the Service’s Parking Enforcement Policy. Queries are also received from Councillors, Members of Parliament, the media and other partners which are promptly actioned. 4.6 The Team regularly receives reports regarding inconsiderate parking outside schools which creates potential safety issues for children and other road users. CEOs have visited a number of areas across the locality to carry out enforcement and educational patrols which have been well received by schools, parents and the wider community. The Team aims to carry our regular visits to schools across the area, both proactively and reactively, and the initiative will be repeated throughout the academic year at both the start and finish of the school day. 4.7 The Team continues to issue PCNs relating to the misuse of Blue Badges and report instances of abuse of the process to the Blue Badge Team which sits in the Council’s Service Centre. The Parking Team Leader has been tasked with organising a number of multi-agency initiatives across the locality to deal with Blue Badge abuse. 4.9 Following the floods in December 2015 the Service implemented a more flexible approach to issuing parking permits in order to assist individuals displaced from their home address. The floods resulted in a number of householders moving from one parking permit zone to another and the Service assisted these individuals by issuing temporary parking permits to cover the time away from their permanent address. In addition the Service relaxed the application process for contractor’s waivers by removing the usual charge levied for these permits which assisted those businesses working on flood affected properties. The Service received significant, positive feedback regarding the above initiatives which are still in place as the flood recovery phase continues. 4.10 On 06 January 2017 the County Council assumed responsibility for 2 off- street pay and display car parks in Carlisle city centre. The Team are responsible for enforcing the Cecil Street car park and the facility at the rear of the Council’s new headquarters, Cumbria House on Botchergate, Carlisle. The Council’s Civil Enforcement Officers patrol both car parks and issue Penalty Charge Notices as appropriate. The Service’s office based staff are responsible for processing the Penalty Charge Notice appeals and payments and dealing with any queries regarding the facilities. A total of 52 Penalty Charge Notices were issued for parking contraventions on these car parks between 01 April 2017 and 30 November 2017 and the table below provides a monthly breakdown of this total.

91 Month Penalty Charge Notices issued

April 2017 4

June 2017 6

July 2017 4

August 2017 2

September 2017 7

October 2017 18

November 2017 6

4.11 During October 2017 the Service was audited by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency. In instances where the recipient of a Penalty Charge Notice does not pay or challenge the Council applies to the DVLA for details of the registered keeper of the vehicle. These audits are conducted to ensure that that parking enforcement authorities and other organisations are accessing and using vehicle keeper details in a correct and lawful manner and have appropriate information security measures in place. The Service was required to submit evidence relating to 50 requests randomly selected by the DVLA. The overall audit rating was green with the audit report stating that "a high level of compliance was demonstrated". This is the second such rating the Service has received from the DVLA in 2017.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 Members note the content of this report and make any comments on the report. 5.2 Members provide comments and feedback on parking enforcement issues in their area.

6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1 There are no financial implications for the Local Committee arising from this report.

7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

7.1 There are no direct legal implications arising from this report.

92 8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 Members’ comments and feedback on the Service are invited.

COUNTY COUNCIL LOCAL COMMITTEE FOR CARLISLE

Meeting date: 9January 2018

From: Elizabeth Mallinson, Children in Care Council Champion

CHILDREN IN CARE COUNCIL CHAMPION UPDATE

Introduction: Since 2015 the Council has been working hard to develop the Corporate Parenting role of Members. A key part of this has been to ensure all Members understand their corporate parenting responsibilities, and are putting in place measures to promote the interests of children looked after and care leavers in their local area.

A key part of this is the activity of the Children in Care Council and the role of the CiCC Member Champion in keeping Local Committees updated on priorities coming from the children and young people, and wider changes that are happening that impact on children in care and care leavers.

Ofsted inspection: In November 2017 Ofsted carried out a full inspection of Children’s Services. This included the voice of the child, and members of Corporate Parenting Board and CiCC Member Champions were interviewed by the inspectors. The full report will be published with recommendations end of January.

Foster carer recruitment: The Council has employed an officer to deliver a Foster Carer Recruitment Programme. The aim is to increase the number of in-house foster carers. Local Members are strongly encouraged to take part in local recruitment events and to spread the word to people who may be interested in fostering. An update on the campaign is added as an appendix.

Children in Care Council Priorities: In September the Carlisle and Eden CiCC met to consider their priorities which included:

 Activity around challenging negative perceptions of children in care.  Better promotion and awareness of apprenticeship opportunities for children in care and care leavers, and best use of the pupil premium.  Development of a Junior Promise for younger children in care.  Members participated in making a film about their experiences with the Haltwhistle Film company and are keen to have the film screened to promote their voice.

95 Feedback from the Children in Care Council Champions Network: The CiCC Member Champions Network meets quarterly and is chaired by Cllr. Anne Burns as portfolio holder. In their October meeting the following actions were agreed for Champions to take back to Local Committees:

 Take the short film made by the Children in Care Council about their experiences to Local Committees.  Share with Local Committees the outcome of a major Barnardo’s survey of children’s views that will be published in March 2018. This is the biggest survey in a number of years and was completed by approximately 6000 children countywide.  Agree arrangements with Local Committees to support and assist with the Council’s communications campaign to promote in-house foster carer recruitment.

Wider changes for Local Committee to be aware of: The Children and Social Work Act (2017) is being implemented which will result in several changes:

 New Corporate Parenting principles introduced which spell out Member responsibilities and responsibilities in two tier authority areas.  New Care Leaver Offer that sets out what Care Leavers can expect from local authorities and partners in their area. This will include discussions with District Councils around leisure passes, housing, council tax relief and other matters.

Actions for Local Committee to consider

 Outcome of the Ofsted inspection once the report and recommendations are published, to see if there is anything under the leadership and management judgement that requires action by Local Committee.  The Care Leaver Offer as it is developed.  To review its activity in the light of the new Corporate Parenting principles.  To receive updates on in-house foster carer recruitment and access to apprenticeships for children looked after and care leavers.

BRIEFING NOTE

Foster carer recruitment: activity summary and forward look

October/November 2017

PURPOSE

This note provides an overview of foster carer recruitment marketing activity during November and notification of events and significant activity planned for December. It is intended to help keep Members up to date and highlight activities or events where Member’s may be able to offer support.

OCTOBER – ACTIVITY

During November we had a lot of carer-led recruitment activity planned, particularly (though not exclusively) in the south of the county:

Nov 8th – Costa drop in, Barrow Nov 16th – the Lanes, Carlisle Nov 17th – Barrow market pop up stand Nov 26th – Ulverston Dickensian Festival

Our first Costa coffee drop in session which took place in Barrow on Nov 8th and was very successful with one person making completing a written enquiry form during the event and others asking for information. From January we are launching a monthly one-hour drop-in session at the same Costa from 7-8pm starting (with plans to roll out similar across the county).

Following on from this we had a stand in the central square of the Lanes shopping centre in Carlisle for the first time and again, we had a very good response to the event, with around 5-6 people speaking in depth to our carers and expressing interest in making an enquiry in the future.

Nov 17th saw our first pop up stall in Barrow’s market and while the event was well-supported by our carers, we didn’t feel it was the best way to reach our target audience (as most market users tended to be elderly).

Finally, we had a stand at popular family event, the Dickensian Festival, in Ulverston and despite terrible weather on the day of the event, we had a lot of interest from the public – with one couple making a written enquiry and 2-4 others expressing an interest in applying in the future.

Also during November (27th) we held our Long Service Awards for the south at Furness College, celebrating 12 carers who’ve fostered for us from between 5 and 30 years. After the event a press release was issued and we featured coverage on social media. Also during the event a member of staff at Furness College made an enquiry about fostering, which was passed onto our enquiries team!

97 OCTOBER – IMPACT

We had 513 web visits and a total of 19 enquiries were received (17 solely Fostering and 2 interested in Fostering and Adoption). This is in line with the target enquiry number of quarter 3 and exceeds the number of enquiries for November last year (18).

We had a wealth of media coverage including:

 The Mail, Barrow online / offline coverage of the Long Service Awards. In-depth feature planned by The Mail on our long serving carers in December.  Cumbria Crack – coverage of Long Service Awards  Times & Star, Workington (online and offline) feature on foster carers Wendy and Lee Towers’ Christmas gift appeal for children in care / hospital.

DECEMBER – PLANNED ACTIVITY

The following events and activity will take place during December:

 Dec 1 – online Christmas Countdown Campaign featuring quotes from carers and Children Looked After.  Dec 9 – our children’s Christmas party, Carlisle.  Dec 15 – sponsorship of the Nativity Supplement in The Cumberland News (featuring images of and quotes from our foster carers), as well as a full back page profile of a Carlisle carer).  Dec 16 – our children’s Christmas party, Barrow. The event is going to be attended by The Bay radio’s Danny Matthews.  Dec 18 and 22 – carer led stands at the Forum theatre in Barrow, from 1-4pm planned to coincide with the matinee performances of the Christmas pantomime.

COUNTY COUNCIL LOCAL COMMITTEE FOR CARLISLE

Meeting date: 9 January 2018

From: Christine Bowditch, Autism Champion

AUTISM CHAMPION UPDATE

As newly elected Champion for Autism this is my first report and naturally very short. I am delighted to be elected. As Chair of Carlisle Mencap, for over twenty years, now one of the largest in the country and with a twenty eight year old son on the autistic spectrum I feel that I have the passion to act as Champion.

It is my intention to give the autistic person, their parents and carers a 'voice' in Carlisle. I have sent a letter to a range of organisations with links to autism and to mainstream schools who may have autistic children on their register. In the New Year I intend to launch the service officially.

I will keep the Council informed of any issues I become involved with.

COUNTY COUNCIL LOCAL COMMITTEE FOR CARLISLE

Meeting date: 9 January 2018

From: Val Tarbitt, Armed Forces Champion

ARMED FORCES CHAMPION UPDATE

Things have moved slowly since the General Election. It is still unclear in which Portfolio the responsibility for Armed Forces Champions sits. As a result there have been no co-ordinating meetings to enable the 6 Local Committee Armed Forces Champions to plan the way forward.

My work has been able to continue however, because I was re- elected to the role and my name was known.

I attended the Remembrance Sunday Ceremony in Longtown and laid a wreath on behalf of Cumbria County Council. I was invited to the Duke of Lancaster’s Regimental Curry Lunch at Carlisle Castle on that day and I was also invited to the Regiment’s Carol Service at Carlisle Cathedral on 6 December.

The Saturday Toby Carvery Club continues. The Club welcomes the support Cumbria County Council gives to its annual trip to The National Arboretum War Memorial in Staffordshire.

I have continued to support Veterans in need of contact and counselling. Contact with Riverside Housing ensures I have a local housing allocation link.

I recently met with the Northern Area Manager for The Royal British Legion who has assured me that support for Veterans in Cumbria is at hand when they might be experiencing personal and financial difficulties.

28 AREA PLANNING - STANDING ITEM

The Area Manager for Copeland presented a report on behalf of the Assistant Director – Public Health and Communities which provided an overview of the principles of Area Planning and the very local approach that had been adopted. It also provided a progress update on the activity and achievements within each local committee area.

103 The County Council’s 6 Local Committees had been working on an area footprint for over 16 years and in more recent years had been pursuing an area planning approach. During this time it had been recognised that for Cumbria’s 6 areas one size does not fit all. Each area had unique opportunities, assets (people, physical infrastructure and geography) and indeed challenges.

Area planning was a way of working which built a full and detailed picture of the area, including aspirations for the future, and was a useful vehicle through which Local Committees and directorates could work productively together to reshape services

Each of the Chairs/Vice Chairs presented updates on progress for their areas, which included the following:-

Allerdale

The Local Committee and Community Development Team continued to work with communities to support capacity building and encourage co-delivery of services.

Since the last meeting, the local team had implemented the transfer of Cockermouth Library as a Community Asset Transfer to Cockermouth Town Council. Relationships between officers from the three organisations had been the key to making this a success, despite some local objection to the plans. All three organisations had benefitted from the move, and more importantly, the local community were receiving a better service in one place from all tiers of local government.

At the request of local committee members, the Joint Liaison Group with Allerdale Borough Council was being re-instated to ensure that both organisations could work better together, creating and taking advantage of opportunities within Allerdale for the benefit of those that lived, worked and played across the district.

Barrow

Regular partnership meetings continued to be held between members of the local committee and lead members from the Borough Council. These considered a range of issues and helped to enable early discussion on any issues that may be arising or potential opportunities for closer working. Local Committee had strongly supported the development of a Business Improvement District for the Borough. Members had recently been consulted on and fed into the development of the Borough’s Council Plan

Members had continued to strongly encourage improvements to the rail network and facilities, and a meeting was scheduled to be held with the Local Member for Dalton North, the Chair and Vice Chair of Local Committee and Northern Rail to explore opportunities for improvements relating to rail parking and services in Askam.

The Community Development team continued to work with local members and their communities to support capacity building and encourage co-delivery of services.

104 A number of wellbeing hubs were being developed across the area with the first - Walney Cottage went live in September, enhancing their current offer to include a respiratory clinic, neurological alliance, money advice and Compass support. This meant that the work would increasingly consider wider determinants of health, together with conversations and support around ‘self-care’ and exploring what it meant to be healthy.

The Chair of Barrow Local Committee thanked the Public Health Locality Manager for the exemplary work that had been undertaken in the area in relation to public health and community development. Over £345,000 of match funding had been generated and had created many positive outcomes.

The Vice Chair acknowledged there had been lots of positive work been done in Barrow and he asked the officer to ensure this good practice was shared with the other areas. It was also suggested that the developments should be shared with the Cumbria Health and Wellbeing Board. This was AGREED.

Carlisle

Carlisle City Council had recently agreed to use the name “Healthy City Forum” for the body formerly known as the Healthy City Steering Group. This was to reflect the fact that the World Health Organisation Health City Programme remained a priority in the city but also to reflect that this group had clearly defined links to delivering locally on the Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

A review of Parish Council engagement had been undertaken which would be shared with partners during November. This would discuss the potential to streamline some of the current regular mechanisms whilst still allowing for formal engagement on an issue by issue basis.

Cumbria County Council had recently partnered with Cumbria Gateway on its new women’s centre Gateway 4 Women in Denton Holme. The centre was offering services specifically for women with a “one stop shop” approach to reduce duplication and unnecessary signposting. Discussions were underway to determine if any of the councils services could be offered at this centre.

The Area Manager advised members about a project called the Garlands Project, which was launched on 8 November 2017. It was a unique event to explore attitudes to mental health over the last 100 years with a fascinating insight into the history of The Cumberland and Westmorland Joint Lunatic Asylum, also known as The Garlands Hospital.

At the event Cumbria County Council’s Archive Service will be exhibiting a The team continued to be engaged in the development of the 3 Integrated Care Communities in Carlisle and to champion the aims of the West North and East Sustainable Transformation Partnership through the Healthy City Forum.

Work had begun with Cumbria Branch of the Royal British Legion and others on a significant County Commemoration of the Centenary of the Armistice in November

105 2018 at the Rickerby Park Cenotaph. This had the potential to be a significant event, not just for Carlisle Local Committee, but also across the county.

The Chair of Eden Local Committee said a significant amount of work was being done in Eden in celebration of remembrance day, and Eden Local Committee would be interested in hearing more about the County Commemoration of the Centenary of the Armistice work.

The Chief Executive asked the Area Managers to undertake research work to gain a better understanding of this. This was AGREED.

Copeland

Regular meetings had been arranged between County and Borough Council officers to ensure good working relationships existed. These meetings considered a range of issues including health, planning, parking, highways, resilience, economic development and tried to identify opportunities for closer working arrangements or projects where the councils could collaborate.

Copeland BC was consulting on its Local Plan and the local committee had initial site of the documents including the Masterplan on Whitehaven, Cleator Moor, Millom and Egremont.

Local Members and officers were involved in the Well Whitehaven public health funded initiative. This had not yet fully started and was in the planning phase while the funding package was finalised.

The Whitehaven Archive Centre Community Hub project was progressing. The sale of College House and Daniel Hay were key to financing this project which would bring all community services onto one site for the benefit of customers by allowing easier accessibility. This project was also reliant on a consultation which had just concluded on the 3 small branch libraries in Whitehaven, which had identified a number of opportunities for capacity building around either Community Asset transfer (CAT) or lease of the building. Work was presently underway to explore the viability of each proposal and the supporting guidance to enable these to progress.

In relation to Seascale Library the Community team was supporting the local parish in developing their business case to create a community hub in the library building.

Millom had recently been affected by flooding and the Vice Chair of Copeland Local Committee thanked all the officers for the expert way this was dealt with.

Eden

Regular area planning sessions continued to enable local members to focus on key issues for Eden.

An initial area planning workshop took place towards the end of August enabling members to discuss area planning initiatives and agree committee priorities in the short term.

106 There were number of major developments planned for Eden in the short to medium term associated with Local Plan Infrastructure Deficit Planning, The Penrith Masterplan and the work to duel the A66. The committee was keen to support the coordination of these works locally and to maximise the economic benefits each would contribute and a collective action plan with the district council was in development.

With Alston leading the way as “the world’s first social enterprise town,” Eden Local Committee was keen to nurture social enterprise in Cumbria. Social enterprise in Eden was promoted locally as part of the national “Social Saturday” event last month. Officers were working with Cumbria Social Enterprise Partnership (CSEP) to develop a programme of activity starting in Alston.

Alston and Appleby had both been identified as priority locations for health and wellbeing interventions in Eden for both the County Council and the Integrated Care Community. The area team had taken a lead role alongside the ICC, adult social care and commissioning colleagues around the development of a programme of works to support health and care in both areas. In both instances, all appropriate town stakeholders had been included in shaping discussions.

Road Safety had been highlighted as a local priority. The rate of people killed and seriously injured on roads in Eden was worse than average and was the highest in Cumbria. The local committee was considering ways to promote the ‘Pass Plus’ safe driving scheme in Eden to encourage more young people to take the course.

The Cumberland and Westmorland Wrestling World Championship was being planned in 2018 and would be held in Eden, at Queen Elizabeth Grammar School. This would be a significant event for Cumbria.

South Lakeland

The newly appointed Chair and Vice Chair of the Local Committee and the Area Manager had reconvened the regular joint meetings with the Leader, Deputy Leader and the Chief Executive of SLDC. Local Committee’s strategic focus had been shared and collective interests had been renewed. Joint meetings would be held on a 6 weekly basis to share information and identify activity where improved joint working could provide a better outcome for communities.

Local Committee had taken the lead in bringing SLDC and Kendal Town Council together to pool resources for a commissioned study to explore the future role of Kendal within South Lakeland, Cumbria and beyond. Consultants, Mott McDonald, were appointed and following their investigation, which included a number of workshops with key stakeholders, produced a final report in September.

At this stage the outputs of this study were high level and focused on principles and while a general northern route into Kendal was being recommended, no exact routes had been identified or indeed explored. In line with Government guidance, a

107 step by step approach was being taken and would require synergies with the development of the next South Lakeland Local Plan.

Local Co-ordination was underway in preparation for Syrian refugees to be homed in South Lakeland. Due to limited surplus social housing across South Lakeland it was proving a challenge to identify safe and suitable houses which were clustered in one of the key towns, rather than in isolated areas. This had meant that South Lakeland had so far been unable to play its part. In order to support the next cohort coming to Cumbria, the Area Manager was co-ordinating activity between SLDC, South Lakes Housing and Police to rapidly work through the vacancies as they arise and discounting where appropriate.

The Vice Chair of South Lakeland Local Committee notified members that the Arts Council England was interested in investing in Cumbria. It was AGREED that the Vice Chair and the Chief Executive would attend the next meeting of the Area Managers to discuss this in more detail.

The Chair asked all the local committee Chairs to think about which other areas of the County Council activities they felt they could add value to, and get involved in and influence. He wished to involve local committees more to build on Area Planning to make it more comprehensive. The Chief Executive felt that there was a need to look at how services could be managed differently to create something better, and that this could be an exciting opportunity to change the shape of the organisation.

It was AGREED that a workshop style discussion to further develop ideas would be considered at the next meeting of the Local Committee Chairs and Leadership meeting.

RESOLVED, that members note the report and the continued developments within each of the 6 Local Committee areas as detailed within the appendices A to F of the report.

29 UPDATE ON APPRENTICESHIPS LEVY

The Assistant Director – Business Services presented a report which advised that the Enterprise Act 2016 included a range of measures to reform the national approach to Apprenticeships and introduced annual targets for the number of apprenticeships in public sector bodies in England.

Local Committee Chairs and Leadership received a report in January 2017 which provided information ahead of the introduction of these national reforms and the duties and targets such reforms would place on the County Council. The purpose of this report was to update Local Committee Chairs and Leadership on the steps taken to implement the reforms and to report on progress against our targets.

The impact of the reforms required the Council to significantly change the way in which it approached, recruited, trained and managed apprentices. This report sets out how this was being undertaken.

108 The Government laid out its vision for the future of apprenticeships in its publication ‘English Apprenticeships: our 2020 vision’, published in December 2015 and, in doing so, set out four stated government policy objectives:

 To meet the skills needs of employers and the country  To create progression for apprentices  To widen participation and social mobility  To create more quality apprenticeships

At the same time government sought to change the definition of an apprentice. Previously apprentices were mainly young people (predominately aged 16 – 18), with apprenticeships targeted at those who lacked the skills, abilities, or qualifications to enter into full-time employment or further and higher education, school leavers and the unemployed.

Under the reforms, which came into force in May, this year the definition of apprenticeships had been widened to make it more attractive, to broaden the scope of skills and qualifications on offer, to incorporate wider age groups and to provide apprenticeships to those already in employment.

Under the reforms, the following rules applied:-

 An apprentice must be employed in a real job. They may be an existing employee or a new recruit and could be any age  An apprentice must work towards achieving an agreed standard or framework in a particular profession. The standards had a defined list of approved qualifications which ranged from entry level through to higher degrees.  Apprenticeship training must last at least 12 months and an apprentice must spend at least 20% of their time on off-the-job training.

There were four different Apprenticeship Levels:

 Degree (which is equivalent to a Batchelor’s or Master’s degree) Level 4  Higher (which is equivalent to a foundation degree and above) – Level 3  Advanced (which is equivalent to 2 A level passes) Level 2  Intermediate (which is equivalent to 5 GCSE passes A*-C) Level 1

The Assistant Director advised that in relation to Public Sector Targets the apprenticeship reforms included a new public sector apprenticeship target. This was calculated at 2.3% of the number of staff living in England employed by the organisation at the end of March. As an employer with a significant proportion of part-time staff, the calculation on headcount rather than full-time equivalent (FTE) meant the target for the Council was higher than perhaps expected.

The Council had successfully run apprenticeship programmes with an average of 50 apprentices per year over the last five years. The target under the reforms was an average of 250 apprentices per year for each of the next four years.

109 Community and Voluntary Aided Schools were in scope of the reforms and would account for 106 of the 250 target. In these cases it was the local authority that was responsible for administering the scheme, reporting on targets, and managing the levy and Digital Apprenticeship Account. The schools were responsible for recruiting and managing the apprentices.

As part of the changes to apprenticeships, an “Apprenticeship Levy” came into force in May 2017 and was 0.5% of the Council’s pay bill. The levy was collected from the employer monthly via PAYE and placed into our Digital Apprenticeship Account. This Account was then used to administer the Levy, approve apprenticeships, and approve and manage training providers.

The implementation of the apprenticeship reforms placed new duties on the Council and required a five-fold increase in the number of apprentices we must recruit, manage and support each year. The Levy funding does not provide for additional resource but a Programme Management approach had been adopted and had been in place since May. This included a monthly multi-disciplinary Programme Board meeting chaired by the Corporate Director – Resources & Transformation, the establishment of a cross-directorate Apprenticeship Reforms Group and the development of monthly progress reports, risk logs and a communications plan.

The Programme Board provided oversight and governance and was able to take action against any slippage in the programme. The Board also acted as the decision point for approval of new apprenticeships.

The increase in the number of apprenticeships the County Council was required to provide, the implementation of the Levy and the Digital Account, the use of a range of payroll providers by schools and the delay in a full range of accredited Apprenticeship Standards and associated qualifications, had meant the first year of the reforms was inevitably going to be challenging. However, good progress towards the 250 target had been made and was reported through the Council Plan Delivery Plan performance report.

At the end of September, (Quarter 2), the council had 83 apprentices in place, a further 25 had been approved by the Programme Board and would be recruited this financial year and a further 44 had been identified and would be considered for approval. This meant the council was on-track to achieve the council element (144) of the 250 target. In addition, approximately 40 apprentices were now in place within the in-scope schools, giving a running total at Q1 of 192 either in place, approved or identified.

To ensure progress was maintained further promotion of the apprenticeship programme, both internally and with schools, would take place over the next two quarters and further apprenticeships were expected to be in place before the end of the financial year. To place our progress in context, government have reported a 61% reduction in the number of apprenticeships nationally when compared to the same period last year.

110 At the end of September £230k had been received into our Digital Apprentices Account against an expenditure commitment of £185,000.

The Apprenticeship Programme Board would continue to oversee the programme and take steps to ensure the council met its requirements under the reforms and continued to make progress against the annual target.

Sustained progress had been made in implementing the apprenticeship reforms and the Council was largely on-track to meet the requirements. The schools element of the target remained challenging but was being addressed. The actions taken this year, the first of the four annual targets, provided a solid foundation from which to build over the lifetime of the current reforms.

Members asked if there was anything they could do to help. The Assistant Director said members could help to identify the need for apprentices in their local areas, however, the rules are quite stringent around implementation.

The Assistant Director AGREED to provide all local committee meetings with an update on this at the end of Quarter 4.

RESOLVED, that the report be received and noted.

30 DATE & TIME OF NEXT MEETING

The next meeting will be held on 25 January 2017 at 10am at Cumbria House, Carlisle.

The Chair of Copeland Local Committee asked officers to consider which meetings could in future be delivered by skype and/or by video messages. The Chief Executive AGREED to take this away for consideration.

The meeting ended at 11.50 am
