Date: 16 Jan 2019 Version 1.0 Approved by KB 1 Date: 16 Jan 2019 Version 1.0 Approved by KB 1 ECONOMY AND REGENERATION – PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW Portfolio Summary This year’s Quarter 3 report is the first one reflecting a newer style of reporting activity “by exception”. This doesn't mean there will be any less scrutiny. We are still reporting on the same measures, but the new format should make it easier to identify where there are significant differences, good and not so good, between the targets we set at the start of the year and our current performance. Though I included this in my last report, it’s worth mentioning again that Quarter 3 saw the opening of the A6 to Manchester Airport Relief Road, which now provides a vital road link across Stockport, Manchester and East Cheshire. The Work and Skills Board, established following the Work and Skills Commission that took place in 2018, held its first meeting in October 2018 and it meets again in February. The Board is focussing in particular on how it can help some of our most disadvantaged residents to access work. Progress with the Working Well (Work & Health Programme) has been limited however and it is very unlikely that we will hit the 2018/19 targets set for job starts associated with the programme. The programme provider and Jobcentre Plus are working hard to address this and we expect performance to improve significantly in 2019/20. We will continue to scrutinise this work very closely. The proposed Mayoral Development Corporation (MDC) is set to move a step closer to being realised in January when Andy Burnham will launch a consultation on creating an MDC to lead the regeneration of Town Centre West. Stockport’s Cultural Network has been working to develop a Cultural Strategy framework for the Borough intended to facilitate access to external funding that will help to enhance the Borough’s cultural offer. For its part, the Council has bid for DCMS funding to develop digital arts spaces, primarily in the Market & Underbanks area. We should know the outcome of our bid in February 2019. As well as this potential development, facilities in the Market and Underbanks area are continuing to be improved. Market Place Management took on full responsibility for running the Market on January 1st, the Angel Inn and Blackshaws Café opened in December and the Produce Hall is scheduled to reopen in February. Encouragingly, footfall in Market Place increased this quarter, reversing recent trends, and we are confident that the enhanced facilities in the area will see these positive trends continuing. Finally, I wanted to mention the event on 7th January 2019 that marked the launch of a radical revision of the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework. The area of green belt proposed for development in this revised version is less than half that originally proposed – the latest iteration of the document places far more emphasis on development in town centres, on brownfield sites and on other sustainable locations. Consultation on this draft runs to 18th March 2019. Another draft and consultation on that will follow and the intention is that it will be formally adopted sometime in late 2020 or early 2021. Cllr Kate Butler - Cabinet Member for Economy and Regeneration 2 1. ECONOMY AND REGENERATION PORTFOLIO DELIVERING OUR PRIORITIES PI Status - Key 2018/19 actual / forecast is significantly below target 2018/19 actual / forecast is below target but within acceptable tolerance range 2018/19 actual / forecast is on or above target or within target range Priority 1 - Inclusive growth Highlights and Exceptions from Q3 Delivery Projects The creation of new co-working and additional flexible workspace for new businesses was completed at Stockport Business and Innovation Centre (SBIC) during Quarter 3. Six co- working desks will be available from January 2019. All three incubators are let and occupied, as is one ‘grow-on’ unit for an existing digital business. Monthly business planning and budget management continues. The centre now houses 53 small businesses across a range of sectors. The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) for 2018 was published this quarter alongside the annual brownfield land register update. During 2018, the Stockport Work and Skills Commission identified the need for a new strategic partnership body for work and skills in Stockport. In response to this, following the conclusion of the Commission, a new Stockport Work and Skills Board was established. A senior business leader from Stockport chairs the Board and its membership includes representatives from other Stockport businesses (including SMEs), Council members and officers, education, skills, training and employability providers. The quarterly cycle of meetings for the Board started in October 2018 and the next meeting is set for 06/02/19. The Board has been looking at how employers can offer “good work” in line with the newly proposed GM Good Employer Charter, which will improve access to work for the most disadvantaged people in Stockport. In addition to this, the Board is looking at refining the work and skills priorities identified by the Work and Skills Commission to produce a realistic and manageable set of key actions to take forward. Wider Context and Challenges Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF) At an event on 7th January 2019, Mayor Andy Burnham and the Leaders of GM councils presented the revised draft of the GMSF. It is radically different from the original draft in that it places far more emphasis on use of brownfield sites, prioritising redevelopment of town centres and other sustainable locations. This revision proposes a net loss of green belt which is less than half that proposed in the original draft. The plan has a minimum target of 50,000 additional affordable homes, 30,000 of which will be social housing, over the next 20 years. The draft includes a summary of proposed developments in each of the GM districts. Stockport has eight allocations, providing land for 3,700 homes and 90,000 square metres of industrial and warehouse floor space. 3 These are: Bredbury Park Industrial Estate Expansion. Former Offerton High School. Gravel Bank Road / Unity Mill. Heald Green. High Lane. Hyde Bank Meadows / Oak Wood Hall. Griffin Farm, Stanley Green. Woodford Aerodrome. Consultation on the draft GMSF is open until 18th March 2019. Following this round of consultation, a further draft plan will be produced for consultation in the summer of 2019. This will be subject to approval by GMCA and all 10 GM Councils. It is anticipated that final plan will be submitted for examination in early 2020 and adopted late 2020/early 2021.

This is a reflection of the trend nationwide during 2017 (reduction in business births and increase in business deaths). The ONS cites economic uncertainty as a possible reason, but it could also be a symptom of more people returning to positions of employment rather than self-employment. (Please note, the ONS periodically amends these figures as it incorporates some estimates, so the net figure may change). This data should be considered as an indicator and not in isolation of the broader range of economic data available. 2018 outturn will be Business start-up survival Aim to E&R 1.10 High 61.5% available during rates after 3 years (%).

    Date 10 May 2017 Version 1.0 (Scrutiny) Approved by KB ECONOMY AND REGENERATION PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW Portfolio Summary In Quarter 4, the Council began the process of developing an agreed framework for delivering Inclusive Growth – that is an approach to economic growth that creates opportunities for all and distributes the financial and other benefits of growth more fairly. This is not something the Council can address on its own however, and discussions involving key partners have begun to look at how they might support this work, which will develop during 2017/18. We are continuing to address youth unemployment through initiatives such as our work clubs. In addition, during Quarter 4 the Council ran the “Hackfest” event, which aimed to connect young people to businesses that use coding skills, engaging 34 young people and 5 businesses. It also ran a jobs fair specifically for employment opportunities at the airport which 308 people attended. Encouragingly, levels of employment, across all age groups, including the young, are continuing to fall. Work and skills will continue to be key priorities for the council, during 2017/18 and beyond, and these will be key elements of our work on Inclusive Growth. Town centre businesses voted overwhelmingly in October 2016 to make the town centre a Business Improvement District (BID). During this quarter the Stockport BID Company and an Interim BID Board were set up and an Interim BID Manager appointed. The Stockport BID will unlock almost £2.5m of additional funding over a five year period to be spent on improving the town centre and encouraging more people to visit it.

    Date: May 2019 Version 1.0 Approved by KB 1 ECONOMY AND REGENERATION PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW Portfolio Summary I am pleased to present my Quarter 4 report to the scrutiny committee. It is also my final report to this committee as I take up a new role leading on Citizen Focus & Engagement. The Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Apprentices Grant for Stockport was launched in Quarter 4. This will provide support to SMEs to make it easier for them to take on apprentices. We hope that around 40 local companies will take advantage of this scheme. Delivering the GM-wide Working Well initiative continues to go well in Stockport, and the report sets out how a number of elements of that work are progressing locally. This quarter, I was particularly pleased to see that the Work and Health element of the programme is beginning to bear fruit, with earnings-related outcomes comparing favourably with the rest of GM. The rate of referrals from Stockport is lower than GM however and we will be working to address this in the coming months. The Council has worked with a number of employers on schemes aimed at helping local unemployed people back into work. This quarter, for example, the operators of the Produce Hall and Blackshaws in the Market Place ran pre-employment training and recruitment processes that resulted in a number of previously unemployed people being offered jobs, including an 18-year-old man, who had been homeless, who is now working as an apprentice chef. Also at the Marketplace, new operators have taken on responsibility for operating the Market.

  • Getting More out of Our Spending
    GETTING MORE OUT OF OUR SPENDING Museums Public Consultation Report 1. Executive Summary 1.1 Overall, the consultation has shown that people in Stockport value the current museum offer and are resistant to changes to the current portfolio of sites. 1.2 The proposal to reduce the number of museum sites operated by the Council, which would potentially involve changing the current offer at Stockport Museum, the War Memorial Art Gallery and Chadkirk Chapel elicited the most negative response of all the proposals. This has also led to establishment of two public petitions on the change.org platform, which have collectively 7099 signatories. 1.3 The feedback on the proposal in relation to opening hours received a slightly less negative response than the proposal to reduce the number of museum sites, but the majority of respondents did not agree with this proposal. 1.4 Support was more balanced for the proposal to change fees and charges for admission to Stockport’s museums. 2. Background 2.1 Stockport Museums’ purpose is to educate, inspire and entertain audiences by providing access to the town’s unique history through buildings, collections and activities. It aims to achieve this through: Providing an engaging museum offer which attracts visitors to Stockport and encourages residents to explore their town’s heritage. Safeguarding collections which tell the story of the town and continually improving access to these. Providing lifelong learning opportunities relevant to the museum’s portfolio. Making the museums portfolio sustainable for the future by reducing costs and maximising income generation opportunities. Stockport Museums are responsible for managing the Council’s museum collections and currently the following sites: Air Raid Shelters, Bramall Hall, Chadkirk Chapel, Hatworks, Staircase House, Stockport Museum and Stockport War Memorial Art Gallery.

  • Chasing Waterfalls GRAHAM GOULDMAN Is in Buoyant Mood at the Other End of a Phone Call from Liverpool, Where He’S Preparing to Appear at the City’S Epstein Theatre
    20 questions Chasing Waterfalls GRAHAM GOULDMAN is in buoyant mood at the other end of a phone call from Liverpool, where he’s preparing to appear at the city’s Epstein Theatre. He’s halfway through the Heart Full Of Songs tour, performing stripped-back selections from a remarkable canon of work that reaches back over 50 years and includes many cornerstones of modern pop. ANDY MORTEN finds himself waiting at the bus stop without an umbrella Shindig!: The role of Jewish musicians and Graham as one half of 10cc in 1979 writers hasn’t been as noted as perhaps it could’ve been. Do you feel growing up Jewish had an impact on you musically or your approach to the industry? Graham Gouldman: Certainly growing up going to the synagogue had an impact on me. The music is often in a minor key and I always favour minor keys – they kind of have more soul. I don’t think of myself as Jewish, although I’m very proud to be Jewish. The music industry is generally very colourblind and religion-blind so I’ve not been aware of it really. Unless I’ve got some Yiddish word and someone in the band says, ‘What does that mean?’ ‘Ah! I’m going to use that!’ SD!: How tuned in where you to the mid- 60s music scene in Manchester? GG: I was totally tuned into it – it was what I lived for. Manchester was a university town – loads of bars and clubs and always loads of great bands coming through.

    Date: October 2018 Version 1.0 Approved by KB 1 ECONOMY AND REGENERATION PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW Portfolio Summary I am pleased to present the 2018/19 Quarter 2 Performance and Resources Report for the Economy and Regeneration Portfolio. Firstly, though the actual opening happened just after the end of Quarter 2, I am particularly pleased to report that after many years of hard work, the A6 to Manchester Airport Relief Road opened on October 15th, providing a vital road link across Stockport, Manchester and East Cheshire. As the Leader of the Council recently stated, the benefits this will bring to residents, businesses and our local road networks are significant. Not only will congestion on many local roads be reduced, but pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users will benefit from more convenient journeys. Over 500 people attended the annual Jobs Fair. Within two weeks of the event, we were aware of at least 13 individuals who had secured new employment from the contacts they made at the Fair. We will be working with Jobcentre Plus to track longer-term outcomes. Following the Council-led Work and Skills Commission for Stockport earlier this year, the new Stockport Work and Skills Board will have its first meeting on 31st October. A senior business leader from Stockport will chair the new Board and it will oversee the delivery of the work and skills priorities for Stockport that the Work and Skills Commission identified. The Stockport Cultural Network continues to strengthen, attracting new participants. The initial focus of the network was to co-ordinate activity relating to the centenary of the end of World War 1.

  • School Bus Services in the Stockport Area September 2019 – July 2020
    School Bus Services in the Stockport Area September 2019 – July 2020 Journeys in this leaflet operate on schooldays only, unless otherwise stated. Although provided primarily for school students, members of the public may use these services with the exception of Yellow School Buses. Services are listed alphabetically under school names. 31/07/2019 Stockport Schools 2019/2020 Page 1 An introduction to School buses and concessionary fares for students in Greater Manchester Passengers can pay a fare to the driver for each journey shown on this timetable. However, students will need to show an IGO pass to travel at the concessionary (reduced) fare. If students do not have an IGO pass, they will have to pay a higher fare. Most of the journeys shown in this timetable are funded by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). The majority of TfGM funded services charge a standard fare and also offer daily return tickets. In some cases, the return ticket can also be used for travel on other journeys which serve similar areas – even if it is provided by a different operator. On most services, students can also buy a weekly scholar’s ticket, which costs £7.40. These are ONLY valid on schooldays on school buses and are available from the bus driver on all services where they are applicable. To help the driver, please try to have the correct fare when buying your ticket. A summary of fares and ticketing information on all school services included in this timetable can be found at https://www.tfgm.com/tickets-and-passes/bus-school-bus-services There are also a small number of TfGM funded services where the operator sets the fares.
