Page 1

109 APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE Apologies for absence were received from Mrs FJ Robson and Mrs V Tarbitt. 110 DISCLOSURES OF INTEREST Mrs EA Mallinson declared a non-pecuniary interest in agenda item 17 – Contracted Youth Provision Performance as her husband was a member of the Board at Carlisle Youth Zone.

items of business. 112 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION There were no public questions, deputations or petitions relating to the business of the Committee on this occasion. 113 FOCUS FAMILIES Jane Williamson, Senior Manager - Focus Family Co-ordinator gave a presentation on Focus Families. She explained that the County Council had decided that the families benefitting from this approach would be referred to as ‘focus’ and not ‘troubled’ families. She informed members that there were both national and local programmes which included the following:-

Ø European Social Fund/Department for Work and Pensions Ø Passport Families Ø Family Intervention Family Centres Children’s Centres Ø Love Barrow Families Ø Partnership: District Delivery Groups Ø Troubled Families

Page 2

The Government had estimated that, on average, each ‘focus family’ costs the public sector (ie local authority, police and health) £10,000 per annum and currently £9 billion per annum was spent nationwide on those families, with £8 billion of this funding being spent on reacting to problems rather than solving them. There was additional funding being offered to local authorities to cover the cost of extra resources to help find alternative ways of working with focus families to reduce the current high levels of spending and help improve the effectiveness of interventions. The framework for supporting children’s needs would include early help, early intervention, targeted intervention and intensive intervention. Members were informed that the majority of children and young people would be supported to achieve successful outcomes with ‘early help’. She then went on to outline the Government’s three national criteria for Focus Families and informed members that each authority had to have at least two of these with the option to have a third one of local discretion in their plan. She said that the Authority worked closely with other agencies including schools, police, children’s centres, youth offending services and more recently the Department of Works and Pensions to help with the identification of families and was pleased to report the excellent relationships which had developed between the different organisations. In summing up members were informed that the next steps included:-

Ø Awareness Training Ø Collection of Data Ø Identifying and Providing Support to Families

The Chair thanked the officer for her informative presentation and said he would welcome a further report to the Committee in 12 months time. 114 MINUTES RESOLVED, that the minutes of the meeting held on 12 December 2012 be

LOCAL COMMITTEE DEVOLVED BUDGET 2012-2013 MONITORING REPORT – HIGHWAYS BUDGET


1.1 This report presents the actual expenditure and commitments recorded against the Local Committee’s Highways Revenue and Capital Budgets as at 28th February 2012.


2.1 The Local Committee’s 2012-13 proposed Cash Limited Budget was informed to County Council on the 16th February 2012. 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 money from capital budgets into revenue budgets.

2.2 The carry forwards of Local Committee balances from 2011-12 into 2012-13 were approved at 21st June 2012 County Council meeting.

2.3 The original Highways revenue budget is £2,532,788. This is decreased by carry forward balances of £15,216 to give a spending limit of £2,517,572.

2.4 The original Highways Capital Budget is £2,860,000. This is increased by carry forwards of £395,030 to give a spending limit of £3,255,030.

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 Note the budget allocations for 2012-13 and the commitments and expenditure recorded to date;

3.2 Note the Highways Revenue budget is currently projecting an overspend of £56,587 at the end of the financial year;

Agenda Item 6b

Page 33

3.3 Note the Highways Capital budget is currently projecting an underspend of £26,394 at the end of the financial year;

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 The Highways Revenue budget is showing a projected overspend at this stage of the financial year of £56,587. This is mainly the carry forwards from 2011/12. The Area Highways and Transport Manager is looking into ways of reducing this overspend, and in particular the requirements for the Better Highways and Street Lighting budget lines. However, it appears unlikely that the overspend will reduce by any great amounts at this stage of the financial year due to the pressures that have been put on the budget lately.

4.2 The Highways Capital Budget is showing a projected underspend at this stage of the financial year of £26,394.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.0 The Local Committee may decide to vire money between budget headings or decide not to. Noting that the Local Committee is not able to vire money from Capital Budgets into revenue budgets.


6.0 The recommendations in this report do not contain any specific financial implications. Local Committee could take decisions that would commit existing budgets against future expenditure.


7.0 The recommendations in this report do not contain any legal implications; however, Local Committee could take decisions that could have future legal implications.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.0 The Highways revenue budget is showing a projected overspend for the financial year of £56,587. The Highways Capital budget is showing a projected underspend for the financial year of £26,394 which is mainly due to the credit balances from 2011/12.

CYCLING IMPROVEMENTS Mr Harling from Cycle Carlisle, distributed a list of 10 schemes the group would like to see progressed that would improve cycleways in Carlisle and followed with a presentation outlining the improvements. Various concerns were raised and comments made as to the feasibility of the schemes. Mr McDevitt thanked Mr Harling for his presentation and emphasised the advantages of cycleways for the whole community. Mr Mallinson also thanked Mr Harling and is of the opinion that it may be possible to progress some of the schemes in the future although it would not be possible to make any such decisions at this meeting. Mr Brierley presented a briefing note, Department for Transport Cycle Funding Update, outlining details of a £62 million government initiative investment to make cycling more attractive for people in England. The investment will comprise 2 elements – an urban element and an element for rural areas that are covered by national Parks, funding to boost the Community Linking Place Fund and funding to add to the fund already earmarked to tackle dangerous junctions. In Cumbria 3 schemes have been included in the Community Linking Places Funding. Cumbria County Council on behalf of the Morecambe Bay Partnership has submitted a bid for funding to tackle dangerous junctions. The decision on this bid is expected to be made shortly. Mr Watson asked how priorities would be assessed for the schemes. Mr Crawley stated priorities are set using the LTP assessment criteria and that feasibility works would need to be carried out on each scheme. Mr Walsh also stated that a Review of the Cycling Route Strategy for Carlisle could inform works for 2014-2015. Mr Weber asked if members were agreeable to put forward a bid. AGREED to recommend to Local Committee that officers reassess the cycle route strategy for the City and, where possible, enable the preparation of schemes for future bids. 75. TRAVEL STRATEGY Mrs Cowperthwaite summarised the report which was to advise members of the work taking place to prepare the Travel Strategy and in particular the local priorities that have been provided by individual Local Members which, once agreed, will then inform the potential direction to be taken and provide a local focus for the Strategy. Mr Watson asked for information regarding the withdrawal of bus services i.e. if any notice was required or if they could be withdrawn at any point? Mrs Cowperthwaite

Page 52

replied that 56 days notice is required from the operator prior to withdrawal of a service. Mr Weber stated that clarity is required on what funding is available. Mrs Cowperthwaite advised that government had not provided a third year of funding in respect of the Community Transport Transitional Fund - this fund had supported a range of community transport solutions across the County. It was being used to support Community Wheels in the next financial year and a vehicle would be available for the Carlisle area. There are areas in the County that have accessed funding from Parishes, Local Committees and other sources for both scheduled bus services and other transport solutions and the ITT would like to work with Carlisle LC to facilitate these solutions where appropriate. Mr Fisher referred to item 4.10, stating funding is available from Northumberland County Council to look at the viability of reopening the station at Gilsland and informed the Group that he will be attending a meeting on 6 March 2013 on this issue. Mr Poole informed the Group that Carlisle City have removed funding next year for the upkeep of bus shelters in the city. The funding for this year is being used to ensure that shelters are maintained up to April 2013. Mr Poole will be writing to Cumbria County Council to enquire is the County would take over maintenance of the shelters. Mr Walsh replied that the shelters are the responsibility of Parish and Town Councils and there is no legal requirement for County to maintain shelters. Mr Betton referred to item 4.4 and the importance of the transport service provided for special needs and social care, asking for clarification of the service. Mrs Cowperthwaite informed the group that this related to children attending schools. The Children’s Services Directors determine where special needs transport is provided. AGREED that the Group receive a further report that provides costs for the priorities listed in Appendix 1 and information on potential funding sources. 76. SHADYGROVE ROAD BUS STOP Mr Weber asked if this item could be deferred due to the absence of Councillor Stockdale. AGREED that the Group defer this item to the next H&TWG. 77. PARKING REVIEW UPDATE Mrs Dodds presented a report to advise of the findings of the Carlisle Parking Task and Finish group which was established to develop an assessment process to establish the most appropriate parking restriction for any street, to ensure Carlisle parking is consistent and fit for purpose. A flow diagram and parking demand criteria to help decision making have been developed and agreed by the Task group.

Page 53

Mr McDevitt thanked Mrs Dodds and Mr Crawley for the report and believes it outlines the best change of producing a feasible parking restriction strategy for Carlisle and fully recommends the report. Mr Fisher also commended the report. Mr Betton raised the need to address the problem of parking on pavements and the lack of action by the Police. Mr Walsh informed the Group that this issued could be taken forward to the CRASH team. Mr Allison expressed his concerns that resident only parking could seriously damage local business. Mr Fisher raised is concerns regarding problems with the lack of enforcement of parking restrictions in Brampton, these issues were raised at a recent Parish Council meeting. Mr Fisher informed the Group that Brampton Parish Council indicated they would be willing to help fund the enforcement of parking restrictions. Mr Poole stated that it was now a matter of urgency to review the parking zones within Carlisle to enable residents permits to be reissued. Mr Walsh stated that if agreement is achieved at Local Committee, a reasonable timescale to start the implementation of changes in Zones A & C would be 3 months with a report to the Working Group in the autumn. AGREED that the Group recommend to Local Committee that they note the Task Groups findings regarding Parking Demand Generators and their associated parking demands. Also that Local Committee agree to adopt the parking demand criteria and the process to establish appropriate parking restrictions, as set out in the flow diagram. 78. SPEED LIMIT REVIEW Mr Crawley presented to Members a report advising the Group of the next tranche of speed limits and seeks approval to proceed to statutory consultation and implementation of these proposals. AGREED that the Group recommend to Local Committee to proceed to statutory consultation on the proposals detail below. These proposals have been selected due to the average traffic flow, the road environment and the road function:





AGREED that the Group recommend that Local Committee resolve that, subject to there being no objections, the Traffic Regulation Orders be made as advertised having taken into consideration the matters contained in Section 122(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 which are more specifically referred to at paragraph 7.2 of the Report.

Page 54

79. CRASH GROUP UPDATE Mr Crawley present a briefing note to further updated the Highway Working Group on issues that have been discussed at meetings of the CRASH Group since the last report which was presented in October 2012. The report details action that has taken place and advises on highway safety improvement schemes the CRASH Group would like the Local Committee to consider for future implementation. AGREED that the Group recommend that the report is noted by the Local Committee. 80. 2013/14 HIGHWAYS BUDGETS Mr Walsh presented the report to the Group to seek approval of the recommendations for the Local Committee’s devolved revenue (£2,364,031) and capital (£3,266,000) highways budgets for 2013/14 including prioritised lists of schemes, which will form the basis of the Local Committee’s devolved capital programme for 2013/14 and provide a core programme for future years subject to annual review. Mr Walsh drew attention to line 3 in the table at 4.2 relating to works on the CNDR network - £1,000 reflects the annual payment for maintenance of improvements undertaken on the network on behalf of the authority in 2012/13. Mr Walsh also pointed out that there will be no funding for preparation of schemes from April 2013 but that officers are continually looking for other possible funding opportunities. AGREED that the Group recommend to Local Committee agrees the proposed revenue and devolved capital programmes for 2013. Also that the Local committee notes the schemes to be undertaken in Carlisle from within the central block of the Transport Capital Programme. It was also agreed that Local Committee be asked to note the Group’s support for the need to identify sources of funding that could be used for the preparation of future projects. 81. 2012/13 CAPITAL PROGRESS BUDGET REPORT Mr Walsh presented the report to update members on implementation of the 2012/13 Capital Programme as agreed by Local Committee at their meeting of 22nd March 2012. Mr Weber expressed his concerns regarding the increase in costs of the Currock Bridge Scheme. Mr Walsh agreed to prepare a covering note for Local Committee on the issue of costs to progress the Currock Bridge Project.

Page 55

Mr Walsh drew attention to 4.2 (b) Lowther Street Pedestrian Improvement Scheme, stating the need to begin accumulating traffic data to enable progression of the scheme. Following discussion it was agreed to progress this data collection. AGREED that the Group note progress with the 2012/13 Capital Programme as reference in paragraphs 4.3 and 4.3 of the report. 82. AREA MANAGER’S BRIEFING Mr Walsh presented a briefing note identifying issues that could be of interest to members. Mr McDevitt asked about utilising Bousteads Grassing premises with regard to the City Transfer of Highway Operations. It was agreed that Mr Walsh would provide a separate report updating the Local Committee on progress with Traffic Calming proposals following the opening of CNDR.

Title of Briefing: Department for Transport Cycle Funding Update Author(s): Mark Brierley Unit/Directorate: Highways and Transport/Environment Audience: H&TMT, CMT, Members, Cumbria Cycle Group. Date: 6th February 2013

1. INTRODUCTION

In January 2013, Transport Minister Norman Baker gave details of a £62 million government

investment to make cycling more attractive for people in England.

The £62m includes the £42 million cycling investment funding announced in the Chancellor’s

autumn statement. This will comprise 2 elements - an urban element and an element for

rural areas that are covered by National Parks (items 1 and 2 in the section below)

A further £15 million will be used to boost the Community Linking Places Fund to support

schemes that improve cycle-rail integration and enhance community cycling. Cumbrian

schemes that have been included in this allocation are included in the report.

£5 million will be added to the fund already earmarked to tackle dangerous junctions, with

allocations to follow in the near future.

2. DETAILS FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENTS a) Up to 3 cities will benefit from a fund of up to £30 million to make cycling easier and safer

for people in urban areas. The areas eligible to apply for those grants would be the cities

that have taken part in wave 1 and wave 2 of the City Deals process. The list of cities is:

Wave 1: Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, Newcastle, Bristol, Liverpool, Manchester,

Nottingham

Swindon, Tees Valley

b) A fund worth up to £12 million is being made available to local authorities working in

partnership with National Parks to improve conditions for cyclists

In Cumbria discussions are already underway with the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales

National Park Authorities to determine the schemes to be included in a bid.

Further guidance is expected form the DfT in due course.

c) £15 million boost is being given to the Community Linking Places Fund to support

schemes that improve cycle-rail integration and enhance community cycling.

3. FUNDING FOR CUMBRIA

In Cumbria the following schemes have been included in £15million Community Linking

Places Funding are:

• Millom Railway station will get an additional 10 covered cycle stands, CCTV

coverage and improved signage as part of a wider Northern Rail package

6km traffic-free cycleway

• A Carlisle City Council proposal for a cycle link on the Viaduct estate ramp in Carlisle

has been awarded a grant of £40,000.

4. FURTHER FUNDING ANNOUNCEMENTS TO BE EXPECTED

In 2012, the DfT invited bids to a £15million fund to tackle dangerous junctions outside

London and an announcement listing the schemes to be funded is expected in February

2013.

In addition, the Department for Communities and Local Government is will announce the

successful bids to the English Coastal Communities Fund.

A bid by Cumbria County Council on behalf of the Morecombe Bay Partnership has been

informally informed that it has been successful (although this cannot be made public yet until

TRAVEL STRATEGY


4.1 The purpose of this report is to advise members of the work taking place to prepare the Travel Strategy and in particular the local priorities that have been provided by individual Local Members which, once agreed, will then inform the potential direction to be taken and provide a local focus for the Strategy.


5.1 The transport policies of the County Council are set out in the Local Transport Plan (LTP), the statutory policy document for transport. The current LTP is a high level document which describes the existing network and the future investment in that network. A Travel Strategy is currently being produced which will focus on how people use the networks, how the transport services can be improved and how local travel behaviour can be influenced to achieve a number of high level outcomes including supporting the economy and reducing passenger transport, road safety, travel to work etc.

5.2 The report has no equality implications.

5.3 The policies in the LTP support the Council Plan by contributing “to a place with a thriving economy”, “a great place to be a child and grow up”, “a place to enjoy an independent and healthy life” and “a place to live in a high quality and sustainable environment”.

Page 59

6.0 RECOMMENDATION

6.1 It is recommended that the Highways and Transport Working Group considers the local committee’s priorities in Appendix 1 for the travel strategy and provide recommendations to Carlisle Local Committee.

7.0 BACKGROUND

7.1 The Travel Strategy will set out the County Council’s approach to addressing travel needs within Cumbria and the related issues and opportunities now and in the future. The Travel Strategy provides a link between Central Government’s travel aspirations and other strategies and plans including the Local Transport Plan (LTP3), the Transport Management Plan and County Council’s Integrated Transport Team’s own Business Plan.

7.2 There is currently no single document that sets out the County Council’s approach and policies on travel and explains the role the County Council has in the provision of transport services. The current LTP is a high level document which describes the existing network and the future investment in that network. The Travel Strategy will build on that foundation and focus on how people use the networks, how the transport services can be improved and how local travel behaviour can be influenced to achieve a number of high level outcomes including supporting the economy and reducing carbon emissions.

7.3 The strategy will set out the Council’s priority tasks, some of which will be immediate whilst other activities will need to be applied consistently over a longer period to change travel behaviour. Travel behaviour is ultimately down to individuals making decisions based on their knowledge of the transport services available. This means that the strategy needs to set out the approach the Council’s takes to making this information available. It needs also to recognise the priority projects and programmes to reflect the differing needs of part of Cumbria whilst providing core (countywide) services as well.

7.4 The Integrated Team (ITT) procure a range of transport services for the County Council. These include home to school and special needs transport, social care transport and supported bus services where these are not provided commercially. The team have also over a number of years developed community transport services to supplement the bus network. In the Carlisle District Cumbria Community Transport are supported to provide community buses for groups at an affordable price. In Carlisle and Barrow there has been support for a number of years for a Dial a Ride service for people who due to disability cannot access conventional bus transport. In the rural areas both voluntary car schemes and Rural Wheels are available for those people who do not have scheduled bus services and need to access essential services. The ITT are proactive in facilitating and supporting local transport solutions to address community needs.

7.5 The Integrated Transport Team (ITT) also has a strategic role in relation to the rail services in Cumbria this involves working closely with Department for

Page 60

Transport (DfT) as well as the relevant rail companies to ensure that the rail services in Cumbria provide optimum social and economic benefits for Cumbria. The ITT is also responsible, on behalf of DfT, for administering the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme, the statutory scheme is supplemented by the 24/7 scheme which enables people with disabilities to travel to work, training and day care at any time.

7.6 In addition to procuring specific services the ITT also aims to maximise the awareness of all transport services and encourage people to travel as independently as possible. This includes reducing unnecessary car journeys and promoting walking and cycling for home to school journeys.

7.7 In preparing the Travel Strategy the ITT contacted local members and offered them the opportunity to provide priorities for their specific wards and also for the wider area. The priorities in Appendix 1 summarise the information provided by the members who engaged directly with the process. There is now a further opportunity for the Local Committee to provide input to enable the Strategy to have a local flavour. It is also proposed to engage with Parish and Town Councils as well as the Third Sector Network. A range of stakeholder meetings will be held between July and September 2013 with the Strategy going to Cabinet in November 2013. The priorities

7.8 In respect of providing a focus for the improvement of access opportunities in the Carlisle area there needs to be recognition of the need for people from the area to travel both within the County but also to other areas. In delivering the priorities it is important that the Area Plan incorporates the same priorities after they have been approved. Rail Travel

7.9 Developments at Rail stations are part of a programme of preparing Station Development Plans with Train operators and Network Rail. The West Coast mainline is the responsibility of the Department for Transport with Virgin. It is anticipated that there should be a decision regarding the frequency of the service in May.

7.10 Funding is currently being sought by the Tyne Valley Rail Partnership to enable a feasibility study to be undertaken into the viability of station reopening at Gilsland. Bus Travel

7.11 The diversion to Moat is funded by Parish Council contributions until July 2014. Services between Longtown and Carlisle are currently provided commercially by Stagecoach.

Page 61

Access to Health Services

7.12 The majority of the bus services in Carlisle are provided commercially. In responding to the wider issue of access to health the ITT will be working with a range of agencies, including Health to determine the most appropriate way forward. It will then be possible either to work with bus operators or find other solutions to ensure that people are able to access health services. The County Council currently supports a Dial a Ride service within the city for those people who unable, due to disability, to travel on scheduled bus services. Travel for Community and Community Groups

7.13 The Integrated Transport team will be actively promoting a range of community transport solutions in a number of ways including articles in parish newsletters, drop in sessions and contacting community groups. There will be ongoing activity to reach more volunteer drivers and coordinators of car schemes. In respect of the community buses owned by the County Council these will be used to their maximum potential provided volunteer drivers are recruited. There are currently ten community buses in the Carlisle area available for group hire through Cumbria Community Transport and it is intended through the Community Wheels scheme to maximise the use of community transport vehicles. Travel for young people

7.14 The Integrated Transport team will be working closely with young people through the youth council and other mechanisms to identify where transport is required and, where possible, facilitate solutions.

7.15 There are opportunities by using smartcard technology to provide reduced fares for young people for particular activities. There would be a need for funding to be allocated to provide the difference between the fares currently charged and the reduced fares. Active Travel

7.16 The ITT will be promoting sustainable transport options and in particular measures to encourage people to cycle rather than drive within the city. Travel information

7.17 The intention is to have information on bus services at all bus stops, however, this

will be subject to future resources. The ITT will be working with commercial operators to ensure that the information available to public is clear and easy to understand.

8.0 OPTIONS

8.1 This report provides an update on the work undertaken in respect of the Travel Strategy. Members have the opportunity to delete or add to any of the priorities set out in Appendix 1.

Page 62


9.1 There are no direct resource implications for Local Committee from approving the recommendation. However, by agreeing the broad principles outlined by the report this will impact on future proposals that could have implications for Council and Local Committee budgets. Comment PH 18-2-13


10.1 There are no direct legal implications arising from this report. MS 19-2-13

11.0 CONCLUSION

11.1 It is anticipated that the work to develop the Travel Strategy provides an opportunity for the services provided by the Integrated Transport Team to be more locally focussed. The priorities in the Travel Strategy need to be closely aligned with the relevant Area Plan.

CARLISLE HIGHWAYS & TRANSPORT WORKING GROUP


From: Assistant Director – Highways and Transport

BUS PANEL, SHADYGROVE ROAD, CARLISLE


1.1 On 31st July 2012 a Bus Panel was held at 9 Shadygrove Road, Carlisle, at the request of Councillor Stockdale, to discuss whether to relocate the bus stop currently outside the property. Councillor Stockdale suggested this would stop the resident having issues with anti social behaviour which has subsequently been identified as specifically litter being dropped in her garden. There was also a reference to traffic congestion issues at the existing stop.

1.2 The proposed new location is a lay-by, currently used for car parking, outside the car park of the Carlisle West Sure Start Children’s Centre further along Shadygrove Road.

1.3 The new Service Procedure SBS SP5 for a request for new bus stop infrastructure was followed, including full consultation with all interested parties.

1.4 As the recommendation not to approve the request was contrary to the local member’s views, an additional meeting took place on 15 January 2013 between the Integrated Transport Manager, Councillor Stockdale and Councillor Weber. As no agreement could be reached a report has been prepared for the Carlisle Highways & Transport Working Group in accordance with the procedure..


2.1 No significant planning or equality implications have been identified at this stage.

Page 67

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 It is recommended that the bus stop currently outside 9 Shadygrove Road, Carlisle, remains in its current location.

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 The relocation request was made by Councillor Stockdale on behalf of a local resident who had complained of anti social behaviour at the stop. This was subsequently found to be a complaint regarding litter in her garden.

4.2 At the Bus Panel attended by Councillor Stockdale, Area Highways, and the Bus Infrastructure Officer, Councillor Stockdale said it was also an opportunity to look at re-locating the stop to a lay-by, as buses have to stop in the road at the current location. Delivery trucks for the shop nearby can be parked up causing congestion at these times.

4.3 Area Highways consider that there are no specific highway reasons to move the existing stop, for example no traffic safety issues, no road layout changes necessitating a move etc, but at the same time there is no objection to the proposed site on highways grounds.

4.4 The proposed lay-by would take the buses off the road, however it would need to be reconfigured into a bus stop lay-by. This would involve realigning the pavement, making good the road surface, installing a new bus stop pole and flag, and bus clearway markings. An estimated cost of the work required is £3,840 which includes a sum for unforeseen work, but assumes no service alterations are required. Consultation would also have to be carried out by Area Highways for a clearway, this would take four weeks.

4.5 Councillor Stockdale said that he could provide some of the cost of the work from his member revenue scheme budget in 12/13, which can be carried forward to 13/14, but the remainder would have to be found from elsewhere. There is no budget available from the Bus Infrastructure capital budget.

4.6 Appendix 1 shows the locations. The proposed location (C) is 94m further along and downhill from the existing stop (B), heading away from the main centre of local population, and would be 237m from the previous stop on Orton Road (A). The proposed location (C) is 107m from the next stop at the park (D).

Page 68

4.7 Consultation followed the Bus Panel meeting and the following comments were received.

4.8 The Police said they are unaware of any reports of disorder relating to the bus stop but also had no concerns about the proposed new site.

4.9 The General Manager/Community and Family Support Workers at Livingwell Trust opposite the lay-by, prefer the lay-by remaining as it is regarding it as a safer stopping place.

4.10 Carlisle West Sure Start Children’s Centre have expressed a number of concerns about the proposed site outside their carpark on behalf of 12 members of staff. The main concern is about the safety of children coming in and out of the car park entrance directly next to the proposed lay-by. They consider there is a danger of them getting hit by a bus, and the safety of bus passengers crossing the car park entrance immediately after exiting a bus. Other concerns are that the entrance to the car park is very narrow so with a bus in the lay-by, entrance and exit from the car park could be hindered and a view of the road obscured. The car park is a recycling site as well as being used by many customers of the centre. It is felt that the loss of this parking provision at the lay-by may cause nearby residents to complain if vehicles are parked outside their houses instead. Finally they said that in the winter, the path from where the bus stop is now, to where the proposed bus stop would be, gets extremely slippery, and questioned whether this would be a hazard to elderly people using the bus stop. (See however para 4.3)

4.11 One resident suggested that a relocation of 100m may be too far for older people as well as an inconvenience to people who use the stop. She was aware of litter issues in the general area but did not think a relocation would make any difference to the litter problem. She suggested that a butt bin for cigarette butts could be added to the bus stop pole.

4.12 Stagecoach said they could not see any benefit in the proposal. The stop is a well established and quite frequently used stop and the disruption of moving would not be beneficial to passengers. Reays said the stop could be moved further down as the stop outside number 9 is quite close to the one round the corner on Orton Rd. Summary

4.13 There are many bus stops across the county outside homes, where litter problems will exist, but the cost of relocating all these stops is prohibitive. The associated traffic congestion issues at this stop are not considered as significant by Area Highways.

4.14 The Police have no reports of anti social behaviour at the stop.

4.15 There is opposition for the relocation from the organisation next door to the proposed new location.

Page 69

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 The Highways & Transport Working Group can recommend to Carlisle Local Committee that no further action is taken in relation to this matter and that the bus stop remains where it is.

5.2 The Highways & Transport Working Group can recommend to Carlisle Local Committee that the bus stop is relocated to the proposed location at an estimated cost of £3,840. If any service alterations were required and this cost would rise, a further report would have to be sent to the Highways & Transport Working Group to approve additional funding.


6.1 Approval of the proposed recommendation would have no resource implications as the matter would then be closed.

6.2 Should Members decide to relocate the bus stop then the estimated cost of £3,840 would be part funded from Councillor Stockdale’s member revenue scheme budget, but no other funding source has been identified at this stage. PH.


7.1 There are no direct legal implications in this Report. KB.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 There is no substantive reason to move the location of the bus stop and there is known opposition to the new site and potential opposition from bus users, as well as a significant cost implication.

8.2 A relocation of this stop is not a priority and it should remain in its existing location.

CARLISLE PARKING TASK GROUP UPDATE


1.1 This report sets out to advise The Working Group of the findings of the Carlisle Parking Task and Finish group which was established to develop an assessment process to establish the most appropriate parking restriction for any street, to ensure Carlisle parking is consistent and fit for purpose. A flow diagram and parking demand criteria to help decision making have been developed and agreed by the Task group.


2.1 The development of a parking strategy will aid the council to work towards its Council Plan priorities, which are

Ø challenging poverty in all its forms;

Ø ensuring that the most vulnerable people in our communities receive the support they need; and

Ø improving the chances in life of the most disadvantaged in Cumbria.

The parking strategy will also be an important factor in ensuring that the County Council meets its Local Transport Plan 3 aims, in particular those to:

• Reduce the impact of through traffic in the city centre

• To promote and encourage the use of sustainable transport

• To provide adequate and accessible parking.

Page 73

2.2 At present no equality impact assessment has been carried out as this report is informing The Group of a strategy for parking in Carlisle. EIA impacts will be fully considered when the process is undertaken for the Carlisle parking zones. It should be noted that any change to the existing parking regime will be subject to informal and statutory consultation.

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 The Group are asked to recommend to Local Committee that they note the Task Groups findings regarding Parking Demand Generators and their associated parking demands. Also that Local Committee agree to adopt the parking demand criteria and the process to establish appropriate parking restrictions, as set out in the flow diagram.

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 At its meeting in December 2011 Carlisle Local Committee agreed to commence work to carry out a comprehensive review of its on street parking restrictions throughout the district. This has been brought about due to the fact that the existing parking restriction order was made in 2001, and has been varied over 40 times making it an unwieldy document, and the fact that the County Council is in the process of introducing Parkmap, which is a software package for managing traffic restrictions.

4.2 As a result it was established that a new approach to parking assessment for Carlisle is required to assist in making Traffic Regulation Orders more manageable through the preparation of a consolidation order and to enable the use of the software package Parkmap.

4.3 This approach aims to ensure that Carlisle’s parking is consistent and fit for purpose. This will help Enforcement Officers when enforcing parking restrictions. It will also help drivers by providing a uniform approach to restrictions which would assist them to make good decisions when considering parking.

4.4 Through the investigation and analysis of the beat survey and questionnaire surveys, the complex nature of the parking issues has been highlighted. This has further emphasised the need for a clear parking strategy to ensure consistency across the city and over time.

4.5 A flow diagram has been developed to set out the proposed process for identifying the best way to manage conflicts between parking demand generators within an area and establish the most appropriate parking restriction. This is included in Appendix one and the process isdetailed below.

(a) To aid the development of the parking strategy the Task and Finish group have identified and agreed eight parking demand generators (PDG). These include services such as Hospitals and Schools, business sites, retail areas, residential, students, leisure, and industrial sites. These are detailed in the table in Appendix two. The potential parking demands created from the individual PDG and the varied services within

Page 74

them have also been identified. These are also detailed in the table in Appendix two.

(b) To assess and determine the scale of the parking demands operating in an area a set of criteria has been developed, provided in Appendix three. These criteria help assess the level of conflict caused by the PDGs. There is a range of data collection methods that can be used at this stage in the assessment to help establish demand and occupancy of the on street parking. These range from short, subjective, site visits to a full, objective, parking beat surveys.

(c) Once the nature of the conflict has been identified the next stage is to attempt to manage it. It has been suggested that all conflicts can be managed by the application of one of six restriction types; prohibition, permit holders parking, time restricted waiting with exemptions, time restricted waiting, planning restrictions or investigating improving public realm in areas that require a more sensitive approach.

(d) The final stage considers if the proposed parking restriction is in keeping with the current zone restrictions, provided in Appendix four. If it is in keeping the appropriate restriction can be applied, otherwise a justification for a change to the restrictions used within the Zone should be made.

4.6 This parking restriction process has been developed to allow the assessment of any street fairly and consistently whilst enabling reassessment should circumstances alter over time.

4.7 It is likely that a result of this process would be smaller parking zones that more closely meet the needs of the area under consideration.

4.8 The process will be used during 2013/14 to commence the comprehensive review of restrictions noted in paragraph 4.1.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 The Highways and Transport Working Group recommends to Local Committee that they adopt the parking demand criteria and process to establish appropriate parking restrictions. The process has been developed with agreement from the Carlisle Parking Task and Finish Group to enable the assessment of the most appropriate parking restriction on any street in Carlisle consistently and allowing for reassessment to take into account changes over time.

5.2 The Highways and Transport Working Group recommend to Local Committee to leave the parking in Carlisle as it is, treating individual requests on a case by case basis. This approach will continue to be inefficient and potentially ineffective.


6.1 No financial implications have been identified at this stage.

Page 75


7.1 There are no direct legal implications at this stage. If the Working Group are minded to approve the Recommendation to Local Committee, then further Reports will be taken back to both the Working Group and Local Committee setting out the legal implications of each stage (if applicable).

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 This report aims to advise to The Group as to the findings of the Carlisle Parking Task and Finish Group regarding the development of a new approach to parking assessment for Carlisle.

8.2 A process has been developed to help establish the most appropriate parking restriction for a street with associated parking demand criteria. It is recommended that the Local Committee approve the process and criteria for adoption.

8.3 The development of this parking assessment process draws the Carlisle Parking Task and Finish Group to close. Thank you to the members of the group for their attendance and input in to the meetings.

Issues to be considered when assessing the scale of parking conflicts

• Number of services nearby

• Type of services

• Distance to services on foot

• Length of time required to attend service

• Number of residential properties

• Availability of off street parking

• Indication of the level of demand

• Seasonal variations e.g school terms

• Days of the week that services operate

• Times of the day that services operate

• Proximity to alternative travel options

Note: Acceptable walking distances will be taken from the IHT guidelines for Proving Journeys on Foot

Appendix 5.4

Existing Parking Zone Descriptions Zone A

• It is currently subject to a two hour restriction.

• It is approximately between 500m and 800m from the city centre so is not a desirable distance to walk to the city centre, this suggesting a two hour restriction.

• Restrictions are required to provide turnover to enable residents to park amongst competition from schools, the college and businesses such as Armstrong Watson.

• Restrictions are operational mon- fri 8am to 8pm and sat 8-6pm.

• Restrictions up to 8pm are required due to night classes and leisure centre use.

Zone B

• Subject to a 2 hour restriction.

• The whole zone is 800m or further from the city centre, this is not a desirable distance to walk for retail, justifying the two hour limit.

• Time restrictions are required to provide turn over due to conflicts between residents, businesses and the college. There are services in the area such as dentists and doctors that require longer than an hour for appointments.

• Off Street parking is provided nearby (Tait Street) for long term visits.

• Restrictions- Monday to friday 8am- 8pm. 8pm required due to proximity to Botchergate, evening entertain and restaurants and the cinema. Sat 8-6pm.

Page 85

Zone C

• The only full zone subject to an hour restriction.

• The majority of the zone is within 450m from the city centre. The furthest point is Tait Street which 750m. This makes this zone within a reasonable walking distance from the city centre requiring an hour restriction to improve turn over.

• Zone C is close to lots of services- mainly retail and business.

• It is also close to most major car parks for longer duration stays. The bus station is also close by as an alterative transport choice.

• There are fewer residential properties than other areas but need turnover for business users and as there is more competition for spaces for the residents.

• Restrictions operating Monday to Saturday 830am- 6pm.

• Earlier finish of the restriction as the main demand generator is business. Zone D


• The zone is between 1.1km and 1.9km from the city centre so is not a desirable distance for shoppers. Hence two hour restrictions. Is close enough to attract employees if no restrictions applied.

• Mainly residential demands now industry has reduced in the area. There have been recent developments in student housing but no parking is provided for them.

• There is also some areas of retail and business, mainly on Denton Street. Turnover is required to provide for these users and residents. A lot of the properties in this area are terraces without off street parking.

• There are some resident only areas in D.

• Restrictions- Monday to Friday 8am- 8pm and Saturday 8am to 6pm.

Page 86

Zone E

• Subject to a 2 hour restriction on most streets with 1 hour on five streets near the hospital and 20min outside the spar shop.

• High numbers of residents require turn over and restrictions due to the hospital which is a large TDG.

• Restrictions- Monday to Friday 8am- 8pm and Saturday 8am to 6pm.

• 8pm restrictions required due to hospital late visiting hours. Zone F


• This is provided due to the proximity of this zone to the city centre for people parking for work.

• The zone is too far to be desirable for walking for retail in the city centre.

• There are businesses on Stanwix bank which require turnover along with residents in the area.

• Restrictions- Monday to Friday 8am- 8pm and Saturday 8am to 6pm. Zone H


• This zone is greatly affected by the presence of the football club. Turnover is required for residents due to football and school parking in the area.

• Distance from the city centre prevents parking for retail purposes- making 2 hour parking is appropriate.

• Restrictions- Monday to Friday 8am- 8pm and Saturday 8am to 6pm. Zone Map Key Zone A- Yellow Zone B- Orange Zone C- Dark purple Zone D- Blue Zone E-Pink Zone F- Brown Zone- light purple

CARLISLE SPEED LIMIT REVIEW 2013-14


1.1 This report advises the Working Group of the next tranche of speed limits and seeks approval to proceed to statutory consultation and implementation of these proposals.

1.2 A previous report, presented to the Carlisle Local Committee in November 2011, detailed a list of A & B roads (along with a number of C class and unclassified roads which were also identified in the report of June 2007), with conclusions for each site resulting from site investigation works.

1.3 The sites on the list for which it was determined that further investigation/consultation was required were to form the basis of introducing new speed limits as part of the Capital programme over the succeeding years.

1.4 The first tranche of changes approved by Carlisle Local Committee in 2012-13 were on the A7 (J44 to Blackford and at Longtown).


2.1 Traffic authorities are required to keep speed limits under review. Existing Cumbria County Council policies on speed and speed limits commits the County Council to establishing criteria for setting mandatory speed limits.

2.2 The Cumbria Local Transport Plan sets a number of objectives for transport. The review of speed limits will contribute to the achievement a number of these objectives relating to safety related targets and those for sustainable travel.

Page 91

2.3 No significant equality implications have been identified at this stage. The statutory consultation processes for Traffic Regulation Orders provide a mechanism to address any such perceived issues.

3.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

3.1 That the Highways and Transport Working Group recommends to the Carlisle Local Committee to proceed to statutory consultation on the proposals detailed below. These proposals have been selected due to the average traffic flow, the road environment and the road function:





3.2 Any Representations received will be reported back through the Local

Committee process for determination. However, in the absence of any such representations, the Working Group is asked to recommend that Local Committee resolve that the Traffic Regulation Orders be made as advertised having taken into consideration the matters contained in Section 122(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 which are more specifically referred to at paragraph 7.2 of this Report.

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 The locations identified in the Appendix were assessed using the DfT criteria along with accident statistics and recorded mean speeds.

4.2 The initial recommendations made in the earlier report were based on the criteria defined in DfT Circular 01/2006. This has recently been superceded by a revised DfT Circular 01/2013 Setting Local Speed Limits, which incorporates recent changes that create more flexibility to implement 20mph limits and zones, and sets out a process for applications to the DfT for further rural 40mph zones. However, the principles applied from the earlier Circular 01/2006 still apply in the revised Circular 01/2013 and so there is no requirement to reassess these earlier investigations.

4.3 For completeness Appendix 1 includes all the schemes that have been assessed as part of this process, but has been edited to score out those proposals for which the outcome was either determined and agreed to be ‘No change to existing limit’ or where works have subsequently been carried out (J44 to Blackford crossroads 50mph; Longtown 30mph extension; and Parkhouse Road to Crindledyke 30/40mph).

Page 92

4.4 The schemes proposed to be progressed during the financial year 2013-14

are detailed below. These have been selected for the following reasons:

• Road function;

• Road geometry and engineering;

• Road environment.

(a) A6071 NEWTOWN - INTRODUCTION OF A 40 MPH LIMIT (estimated cost £6000.00); The A6071 is a strategic through road which serves as a connecting route between the A69 and A7. It also dissects the community of Newtown and lowering the speed limit would benefit not only residents but also users of the National Trail Hadrian’s Wall Walk. Furthermore the restricted visibility for traffic exiting the U1098 onto the A6071 combined with the challenging topography and road alignment would also benefit all road users, allowing drivers additional time to assess the road/traffic. Additional investigations were undertaken during 2012-13 (reported to HTWG 14.8.12/CLC 14.9.2012) verified that the A6071 through Newtown did meet the criteria for a 40mph limit. The Local Committee further resolved that this scheme proceed in the 2013-14 financial year. The proposal also includes the introduction of a 30mph speed limit on the adjacent U1098 in Newtown, as this meets the density requirements to be classed as a village. These proposals are supported by the Parish Council. Furthermore, Connect Roads have no objection to a 40mph limit being introduced on this length of the A6071. The plan in Appendix II shows the lengths of road intended to be covered by the proposed speed limits.

(b) B6264 BRAMPTON OLD ROAD - INTRODUCTION OF a 40 MPH LIMIT (estimated costs £15000.00) The B6264 is one of the main arterial approach roads into Carlisle and the proposal is to introduce a 40mph speed limit from the motorway bridge, just before the access for Hadrian’s Camp travellers’ site. This meets the DfT criteria in respect of 40mph limits, in that the road is a high quality suburban road with little development but with good road width and layout and with buildings being set back from the road. The existing 30mph limit would be moved slightly further out of town, prior to the petrol station, to resolve an anomaly in that area (whereby vehicles could enter Carlisle by diverting off the B6264, through the petrol station grounds and then via Houghton Road, and so not pass the 30mph signs and therefore use this as an argument against any possible speeding convictions which may arise).

Page 93

The plan in Appendix III shows the lengths of road intended to be covered by the proposed speed limits.

4.5 The remaining sites would then be progressed in the next tranche of schemes

in the following financial years, depending upon budget allocations, these being:

• B6263 from Warwick Bridge to Holme House - Introduction of a 30mph limit This will require Roadlink’s agreement as it would also affect and require works to be undertaken on the A69. Engineering improvements have been carried out in the vicinity of Holme House and since completion of these, there have been no recorded incidents on the Collisions Management System in the three years from 2009 to 2012. It is suggested that this site be reassessed to ascertain if these improvements have resolved the accident issue. It should be noted that whilst the Police did support a 30mph limit here, this was prior to the completion of the engineering works, and the site does not meet the DfT criteria. Additionally, the revised criteria of Circular 01/2013 states that ‘speed limits should not be used to attempt to solve the problem of isolated hazards, for exampleMreduced visibility such as at a bendMOther measures such as warning signsMcarriageway markingsMare likely to be more effective.’

• B5299 from existing 40mph (Cummersdale) to Peter Lane - Extension of existing 40mph limit. To be met by the developers through the Planning process.

• B6318 Roadhead - Introduction of a 30 mph limit through the village.

• U1133 –Barras Lane to Barras Brow - Extension of the 30mph limit from Station Road to Barras Brow.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 The Highways and Transport Working Group can recommend to Local Committee that statutory consultation commences on the two sites identified above with a view to progressing to implementation during 2013-14, should the statutory consultation be supported and no objections be received. If objections are received then a further Report will be taken back to Local Committee for their determination.

5.2 The Highways and Transport Working Group can recommend to Local Committee that the B6263 from Warwick Bridge to Holme House is

Page 94

reassessed to determine if a reduction in the speed limit is still appropriate at this location.


6.1 The estimated cost of the recommended works for the two sites for which approval to implement in 2013-14 is £25000.00. This includes for the physical works, design, consultation and advertising. These costs can be met from the Capital Improvements budget in 2013-14

6.2 There will be ongoing maintenance costs for the works on the B6264 and U1098: sign maintenance, £600.00 per year allowing for a 20 year life span; road markings £200.00 per year allowing for 10 year life span. Costs are based on 2011-12 rates and are not adjusted for inflation. The ongoing maintenance costs will assigned to the Local Committee Revenue Budget.

6.3 Members should be aware that A6071 is the responsibility of the Connect/ Balfour Beattie partnership. However, works on this road would still require funding from Cumbria County Council It should be noted that any change to the Connect Roads network should be advised to them via the Contract Manager as they will require a Change Notice.

6.4 The likely commuted sums to consider for future routine & cyclic maintenance for the A6071 Newtown scheme along with the associated change order for Connect Roads are estimated to be £200/year which is a reasonable estimate of the lifecycle costs.

6.5 Members should note that this annual cost will be payable to Connect Roads for the life of the CNDR PFI Contract and will increase by the increase in the retail price index each year, and that it will need to be accounted for in future annual Revenue budgets.


7.1 There are no legal implications at this stage but Local Committee, in deciding whether to implement the restrictions detailed in paragraph 3 of this Report will need to take into take into consideration the matters contained in Section 122(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 which are more specifically referred to at paragraph 7.2 of this Report. For the reason specified at section 1(1)(a) of the 1984 Act, namely for avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising.

Page 95

7.2 Under Section 122(2), the matters which Local Committee must take into account in exercising that duty are: -

(a) the desirability of securing and maintaining reasonable access to premises;

(b) the effect on amenities of an area; (c) the national air quality strategy prepared under section 80 of the

Environment Act 1995; (d) the importance of facilitating the passage of public service vehicles and

of securing the safety and convenience of persons using or desiring to use such vehicles; and

(e) any other matters appearing to the authority to be relevant.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 Appendix I was used as the basis of a prioritised list that was brought before the Highways Working Group/Local Committee as part of the 20012/13 Capital Program Report.

8.2 This same Appendix is now being used to identify the schemes to be implemented during 2013-14, with the costs being met from Capital Highways Budget.

8.3 Therefore this report advises the Working Group of the proposals to implement the introduction of revised speed limits on the A6071/U1098 and B6264.

8.4 The results of these consultations, should there be representations against the proposals, will be reported back to the Highways and Transport Working Group and Local Committee in due course for further consideration.

8.5 Should there be no representations received against these proposals however, the recommendation should be to implement the speed limits on the A6071/U1098 (Newtown) and B6264 (Brampton Old Road) as consulted upon.

RECOMMEND THAT A 30MPH LIMIT BE INTRODUCED. Whilst this length does not meet the DfT criteria, despite engineering works at this location (surface dressing, kerbing, new road markings and marker posts) accidents are still occuring.The Police support the introduction of a 30 limit here. Roadlink need to agree as the existing 30/40 limit on the A69 would need amended. Whilst a 40mph limit could be introduced here whic would tie in with the existing limit on the A69, this has not been recommended due to the low mean speed - a posted limit here of 40mph may actually lead to more accidents as some drivers will assume it is the speed that they can travel, regardless of the road layout.

Consideration was given to having 2 seperate 50's but as they woudl be reasonably close together, its is more approriate to have one continual limit to avoid having too many chnages of limit in one stretch.

In this circular a village is defined using simple criteria:

* 20 or more houses and;

*a minimum length of 600 metres.

Extra allowance may be made for key buildings such as church, shop, school if there are fewer than 20 houses.

01/2006 also states that the aim should be to align the local speed limit so that original mean speed driven on the road is at or below the new posted limit for that road.

CRASH GROUP UPDATE – FEBRUARY 2013

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 This briefing note has been prepared to further update the Highway Working Group on issues that have been discussed at meetings of the CRASH Group since the last report which was presented in October 2012. The report details action that has taken place and advises on highway safety improvement schemes the CRASH Group would like the Local Committee to consider for future implementation.

2.0 RECOMMENDATION

2.1 The Highways Working Group is asked to recommend that the report is noted by the Local Committee.

3.0 BACKGROUND

3.1 The Carlisle and Eden CRASH (Casualty Reduction and Safer Highways) Group is part of a County wide multi agency group which meets bi-monthly to explore ways to improve road safety within the County. Using analysis of accident data combined with Police knowledge of driver trends the aim of the Group is to ensure that the potential for road traffic accidents is identified and measures are put in place to reduce the risk to road users. This pro-active approach has proved very successful, and the county’s accident rate has been consistently well below our target figures for the last few years.

3.2 There have been two meetings of The CRASH Group since the last briefing note was prepared, on the 27th November 2012 and on 15th January 2013. Accident statistics from each of these meetings is shown below. It can be seen from the data in the lower table that casualties for road traffic collisions

Page 104

has continued to show a year on year reduction further demonstrating the effectiveness of road safety initiatives such as CRASH.

3.3 The November meeting was primarily concerned with the upcoming drink drive campaign, and with an increase in reported accidents in and around the east Carlisle area. As a result the Police were intending to carry out some higher profile work in the area including greater use of hand held speed detection devices to address those areas where camera van deployment was not possible.

3.4 The January meeting considered the outcome of the drink drive campaign that has been reported in the press. The final figures are much the same as last year, with the highest number of positive breath tests being recorded in the early morning.

3.5 Appendix A provides details of the issues raised at the meetings sites and their current status. New issues were raised and these are shown at the bottom of the Appendix.

3.6 The Local Committee agreed to provide a budget allocation of £12,000 to address urgent issues that are raised by the group, as part of the 2012/13 Capital Budget. This budget is now more than fully committed and a recommendation to increase the funding by £3,000 for this element of the Minor Highways Budget was approved at the Local Committee at its meeting on 5th February 2013.

3.7 The Working Group is advised that there have been one request to carry out safety related improvement work in the area has come from the November meeting. That is to consider the introduction of a 30mph speed limit through Low Row village. A budget estimate of £5,000 has been made for this scheme and it is suggested that it be included in the Speed in Villages program for future consideration by the Group and Local Committee.

4.0 CONCLUSION

4.1 This briefing note updates the Group on the work of the CRASH Group and implications for the Local Committee that arise from that work.

CARLISLE LOCAL COMMITTEE HIGHWAY BUDGETS 2013/14


1.1 Members are asked to approve recommendations for the Local Committee’s devolved revenue and capital highways budgets for 2013/2014 including prioritised lists of schemes, which will form the basis of the Local Committee’s devolved capital programme for 2013/14 and provide a core programme for future years subject to annual review.

1.2 The indicative allocations for 2013/14 are £2,364,031 (revenue) and £3,266,000 (capital) respectively, subject to final approval by Council.


2.1 The County Councils budget is a key part of the policy framework for the County Council and links directly with the Council Plan and Directorate Service Plans.

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 have received approval to proceed and exceptions will be brought back to the Committee for consideration.

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 That the Highways and Transportation Working Group recommends that they Local Committee agrees the proposed revenue and devolved capital programmes for 2013/14.

3.2 That the Local Committee notes the schemes to be undertaken in Carlisle from within the central block of the Transport Capital Programme.



From: Assistant Director – Environment

Page 110

4.0 BACKGROUND

Revenue 2013/14

4.1 The County Council meeting on 14th February considered proposals to devolve a further £800k of capital funding to Local Committees from the Priority Transport Improvement Schemes (PTIS) capital highways budget, whilst at the same time reducing the highways revenue budget for local committees by £800k.

4.2 The allocation of the resulting revenue budget for Carlisle across the main routine and cyclic maintenance activity headings is shown in the table below.

Other £15,000 £40,000 £55,000 £15,000 £40k was Winter Maintenance contribution to City Council

Total £1,672,188 £860,600 £2,532,788 £2,364,031

(a) Better Highways Teams are acknowledged as being a key aspect of how the Highway Service is delivered. Experience of the first 6 months of “in-house” operation is starting to clarify costs and best practice to ensure that this aspect of what we do is provided as effectively and efficiently as we can. We believe that 7 Better Highways Teams can be funded within the 2013/14 draft budget enabling 4 rural based and 3 City based teams.

(b) Members may recall that, as a result of the introduction of speed limits on the A7, the increased Lifecycle & Routine Maintenance costs payable to

Page 111

Connect CNDR are to be found from the Revenue Budget. This amounts to some £1,000 in 2013/14

Capital 2013/14

4.3 As noted in paragraph 4.1 members will be aware that the reduction in Revenue budget is to be offset by providing Local Committees with an equivalent increase in the devolved capital budget. It is proposed that this funding will be used to undertake preventative maintenance activities such as patching, resurfacing and drainage works carried out by the “in-house” teams.

4.4 In the Autumn Statement in December 2012 an additional Local Highways Maintenance Fund (Capital) was announced for all Local Authorities. For Cumbria County Council this resulted in an additional £3,890k in 2013/14 and £2,082k for 2014/145. £2,137k of this is to be allocated to local committees for additional Capital Maintenance Works

4.5 The proposed Devolved Capital Budget for the Carlisle area in 2013/14 is made up as follows

2013/14 Base Basic

Maintenance Allocation

Additional Maintenance Allocation

2013/14 Proposed

2012/13

4.7 Members will recall that that the schemes to be included in the Capital programme for 2013/14 were presented and agreed at the 30th October 2012 Local Committee meeting. An updated prioritised listing of these schemes with an indicative budget cut off line is provided in the individual tables in Appendix 1

4.8 Appendix 2 provides the list of schemes to be undertaken in in 2013/14 in the Carlisle Area funded from the central (non-devolved) block of the Transport Capital Programme.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 Members may wish to suggest alternative ways in which the budgets should be allocated across the revenue and capital blocks.


6.1 A structured approach is taken to identifying, assessing and allocating resources to both maintenance and improvement schemes. Members agreed an initial list of capital funded projects, based on this approach, for 2013/14 at their meeting in October 2012.


7.1 The County Council has statutory duties to maintain the highway and in certain circumstances could 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. There are no other direct legal implications.

7.2 The allocation of resources available for highway improvement schemes on the basis of demonstrable priorities would support the Council’s defence against any third party claims that might be made on the basis of loss suffered allegedly as a result of a failure to improve the highway.

HIGHWAYS & TRANSPORT SERVICE PROGRESS REPORT – CAPITAL PROGRAMME IN CARLISLE


1.1 This report updates members on implementation of the 2012/13 Capital Programme as agreed by Local Committee at their meeting of 22nd March 2012.


2.1 The Council Plan 2011/14 was agreed by Full Council in February 2011. The Council Plan sets out the role of the Council and the Council’s strategic priorities and aspirations for the 3 years from 2011/14. The revenue and capital programmes are developed with the aim of supporting the delivery of all the Council’s aspirations, as set out in the Council Plan, with a focus on the priorities of challenging poverty in all its forms, ensuring that the most vulnerable people in our communities receive the support they need, and improving the life chances of the most disadvantaged in Cumbria.

2.2 The Council’s revenue and capital programmes are key to achieving the aim

underpinning the Council’s priorities and aspirations of being as effective and efficient as possible, prioritising services, targeting resources where they are most needed, re-engineering services to find a new, different and more effective and efficient ways to do things, and focusing on our customers, putting people at the heart of everything we do.

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 have received approval to proceed and exceptions will be brought back to the Group for consideration.

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 Note progress with the 2012/13 Capital Programme as referenced in paragraphs 4.2 and 4.3

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 The Highways Capital Programme covers a range of activities some of which are centrally determined and others where decisions are devolved to local committees.

4.2 Appendix 1 sets out the schemes approved in the 2012/13 non-devolved capital budget, under the different capital blocks: Principal Road Network (PRN) Structural Maintenance, Bridges & Structures and Integrated Transport (which is sub divided into 5 separate areas of work). The tables included a simple “traffic light” system with a commentary against any schemes that are of concern.

(a) Further to the update on the Currock Bridge scheme provided in September 2012, which highlighted the fact that the scheme cost of this project is going to be higher than initially envisaged in the region of £2m. It is clear that, unfortunately we cannot move to the next stage of the project until adequate funding is available. We continue to assess potential sources of funding outwith the Highways Transport Capital budget to progress the scheme. A short progress report is provided at Appendix 3.

(b) The other Prep-Pool project listed for 2012/13, Lowther Street Pedestrian Improvement Scheme, requires the collection of in depth traffic data in a neutral month and the earliest this can be undertaken is late April 2013.

4.3 Appendix 2 sets out the schemes approved in the 2012/13 devolved capital budgets and as noted in 4.2 above also has a “traffic light” system added to the published tables.

4.4 In relation to these programmed schemes members will note that the majority are on track.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 Local Committee may make recommendations to Carlisle Local Committee based on the issues raised in this report.


6.1 A structured approach needs to be taken to identifying, assessing and allocating resources to both maintenance and improvement schemes. The Highways Service is developing an asset management approach to help ensure that the process is robust and consistent across the Authority.

Page 137

6.2 By understanding the process being developed members can contribute to ensuring that scarce resources are allocated where they will be most effective.


7.1 The County Council has statutory duties to maintain the highway and in certain circumstances could 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. There are no other direct legal implications.

7.2 The allocation of resources available for highway improvement schemes on the basis of demonstrable priorities would support the Council’s defence against any third party claims that might be made on the basis of loss suffered allegedly as a result of a failure to improve the highway.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 This report updates the working group on progress with the 2012/13 Capital Programme and provides further insights into the development of future year’s programmes.

Briefing Note

Title of Briefing: Currock Bridge Project Progress Date: 08 February 2013 Author: Victoria Foster Unit / Directorate: Highways and Transport, Environment Audience: Carlisle HTWG

1. Background

As Currock Bridge was identified as a Priority Transport Improvement Scheme, funding was allocated to the project in 2012/13 to develop the scheme ready for implementation in future years. This paper has been compiled to summarise the work undertaken to date to progress the scheme design and cost estimates. 2. Current Situation

A range of route options have been developed and a public consultation event took place in July 2012. Generally, there was overall support for the ‘preferred’ route (Option 3) described below.

Option 3 - The new bridge would be located approximately 250m to the south of the existing footbridge and the existing bridge would be removed. On the west side of the railway line, the new structure would include a long straight structural ramp sloping up towards the bridge and would permit shared use of both pedestrians and cyclists.

£37,690 was allocated to the scheme from the Transport Capital Programme in 2012/13 to progress the scheme. Approximately £7,500 of this has been spent on identifying a preferred option and developing the design to date.

Scheme design To progress the scheme design further there is a requirement to prepare a Consultant’s brief to develop of the scheme to a stage ready to commence the planning process. To develop the design to this stage, the Consultant will be required to undertake a range of surveys on land owned by Network Rail. Network rail stipulate that before any surveys or work on their land can commence, Cumbria County Council must enter into a Basic Asset Protection Agreement (BAPA). This agreement ensures that Network Rail commit a ‘project sponsor’ to the project to act as a liaison officer between CCC and Network Rail. The cost of this agreement to CCC is understood to be in the region of £25,000.

Page 158

The funding already allocated to the project to progress this scheme in 2012/13 is insufficient to enter into a BAPA agreement and to appoint a consultant to undertake all the required survey and design work ready for a planning application. Scheme Cost Estimate Outline scheme costs were originally been estimated at £973,000 in December 2009 by Carlisle City Council. Since the date of this estimate, further costs and inflation place the scheme cost estimate at around £2 million. This estimate is supported by information from a similar scheme delivered by Swindon Borough Council at a cost of £1.7million in 2010, which did not include land purchase/ land dedications or demolition of an existing structure. Without the development of a preliminary design, a more accurate cost estimate can not be ascertained. 3 Summary

In view of the current low level of funding allocated to develop the proposals and the costs likely to be incurred to undertake the preliminary design and secure planning consent, Members should note the following:

• no further work can be progressed until additional funding for design work is committed to the scheme,

• all funding committed to the scheme in 2012/13 will not be spent,

• early scheme estimates are underestimated and scheme costs are thought to be in the region of £2 million,

• scheme cost estimates will be revised when further design work is undertaken

• scheme funding in 2013/14 is still to be determined (the scheme is identified as a possible scheme within the Devolved Major Schemes budget. The final programme of schemes within this budget will be determined in July 2013).

February 2013 Date: February 2013 Author: Kevin Walsh Unit / Directorate: Highways and Transport, Environment Audience: Carlisle HCarlisle HCarlisle HCarlisle H&TWG&TWG&TWG&TWG

1.0 Background There are a number of highways & transport issues that could be of interest to members some of which may become of greater importance and may require decisions by the Local Committee in due course. This Briefing Note identifies these and provides a short summary of information on each so that members have early sight of the potential problems and opportunities for the Committee. No action is considered necessary at present but members’ views are sought and an informal discussion of these issues may be helpful. 2.0 Key Issues

1. Staffing Changes

Members may wish to note that Marina Lillie has now left the Authority. Arrangements for the Working Group are now being undertaken by Sara Connor.

2. Carlisle City Transfer of Highways Operations Arrangements are well in hand for the transfer of operations presently undertaken by the City Council under Highways Claimed Rights. All transferring staff have had an opportunity for a “One to One” with us. The Dalston Depot is being prepared to manage the operational teams and space has been identified at the Parkhouse Building for the technical staff. We are working with colleagues in the City Highways Teams to prepare the work programmes from 1st April 2013.

3. Traffic calming on Radial Routes after opening of CNDR Members will have seen the recent publicity following the first year anniversary of the opening of CNDR. You will also recall that Connect Roads are preparing proposals for Traffic Calming on the adversely affected roads. A meeting was held with Burgh Road residents in early February and a further report will be provided for Local Committee on the 28th March 2013

THE IMPACT OF CNDR – TRAFFIC CALMING


1.1 This report updates members on the progress of the Traffic Calming proposals aimed at mitigating the impact of changes to traffic movements following the opening of the Carlisle Northern Development Route (CNDR).


2.1 The development of these projects will assist the County Council to achieve the objectives set out in the Local Transport Plan (LTP3). It will also aid the Council to work towards its Council Plan priorities, which are




2.2 At present no Equality impact assessment has been carried out on these issues but these will be undertaken as individual projects are developed.

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 That the Local Committee agree to progress the statutory and community consultations noted in Paragraph 4.3.

Agenda Item 8

Page 161

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 Members will recall that public meetings to discuss traffic calming issues were held in November 2012 in the Belle Vue area and in Stanwix. These were very successful and gave the officers and consultants present much relevant information. A further meeting was held with Burgh Road residents in February 2013.

4.2 Parsons Brinckerhoff on behalf of Connect Roads has now produced a comprehensive report on the outcomes of the consultation. The Executive Summary of this report is provided at Appendix 1.

4.3 Members will note that a number of proposals (Options) are suggested for consideration. The Carlisle Local Practice Team have considered these and would recommend that the following consultations be arranged

4.3.1 Speed limit alterations as described below require statutory consultation. The outcomes of the consultations will be reported back through the local committee process for determination.

a) Reduce the Speed limit on Moorhouse Road between the CNDR Roundabout and the existing 30mph to 40mph

b) Reduce the Speed limit on Orton Road between the CNDR Roundabout and the existing 30mph to 40mph

c) Reduce the Speed Limit on Sandsfield Road between the CNDR Roundabout and Orton Road to 40 mph

4.3.2 The point at which the these new speed limits change from 40 to 30 mph and the existing one on Burgh Road would be provided with “Gateway” features to strengthen their impact.

4.3.3 Footway Build-outs to provide for Priority Working at appropriate places on Burgh Road do not require statutory consultation but consultations will be required with local residents to agree the most appropriate placement of such traffic calming features.

4.4 Members will recall that concerns have also been expressed with regard the impact of the opening of CNDR on Brampton Road. There has been a significant reduction in traffic on this road. The impact is twofold; the reduced traffic may be resulting in more vehicles travelling over the speed limit and those HGV’s that continue to use the road to access the City have proportionally higher impact.

4.5 Two proposals are being considered to alleviate these issues. Firstly the alteration of the Advance Direction Sign on the A689 eastern approach to Linstock Roundabout to advise drivers that the North & West of Carlisle and West Cumbria can be accessed along the CNDR via M6 Junction 44.

4.6 Secondly consideration is being given to whether the introduction of further pedestrian refuges or cycle lanes on Brampton Road might alleviate some of the concerns of local residents. A further report on this aspect of the traffic calming work will be brought to the Working Group in due course.

Page 162

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 The proposals in this report are aimed at starting a formal consultation process. Further options may result from this next stage of development and these will be reported to members in due course.


6.1 There are no direct costs from Local Committee funds involved in these projects.

6.2 The Traffic Calming project is funded from the CNDR Contract arrangements.


7.1 There are no legal implications at this stage but Local Committee, in deciding whether to implement the restrictions detailed in paragraph 3 of this Report will need to take into take into consideration the matters contained in Section 122(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 which are more specifically referred to at paragraph 7.2 of this Report. For the reason specified at section 1(1)(a) of the 1984 Act, namely for avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising.

7.2 Under Section 122(2), the matters which Local Committee must take into account in exercising that duty are: -

a) the desirability of securing and maintaining reasonable access to premises;

b) the effect on amenities of an area; c) the national air quality strategy prepared under section 80 of the

Environment Act 1995; d) the importance of facilitating the passage of public service vehicles

and of securing the safety and convenience of persons using or desiring to use such vehicles; and

e) any other matters appearing to the authority to be relevant.

7.3 Section 90G of the Highways Act 1980 provides the power to carry out traffic calming works as detailed in paragraph 4 of this Report.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 This report informs members of progress with managing the impact of the opening of the CNDR. It recommends that a series of statutory and community consultations are commenced with the outcomes being reported to a future meeting of the committee.

Appendix 1 CNDR Traffic Calming CNDR Traffic Calming Report.docx Prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff February 2013 for Connect Roads EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to assess the traffic impact on the radial routes adjoining the newly constructed Carlisle Northern Development Route (CNDR). This report is intended to identify the roads experiencing an increase in traffic volumes, the traffic problems associated with the change in traffic flows and outline possible traffic improvement options. The public consultation with the residents of Belle Vue and Brampton Road has been pivotal in identifying the perceived traffic issues. Six supplementary 24hr temporary static traffic count sites were undertaken for the seven day period between 10 November and 16 November 2012 to ascertain traffic volumes, vehicle classification and vehicle speeds. A seventh 24hr temporary static traffic count site was undertaken on Burgh Road, 100m within the 30mph speed limit between 24 January and 7 February 2013. The result of the traffic counts are summarised in Section 2 of this report. The majority of the residents attending the consultations perceived vehicles travelling at speeds exceeding the speed limit. However, the supplementary traffic count 85 percentile data indicates that the majority of the vehicles were travelling at speeds close to the speed limit. The public consultation held for the residents of Belle Vue on Wednesday 28 November 2012, at the Church of the Nazarene was attended by 82 residents. 54 of these residents attending completed the Roads and Traffic questionnaire. The details of the consultation are contained in Section 3 of this report. 70% of those completing the questionnaire were of the opinion that traffic had increased in the local area, following the implementation of the CNDR. 72% perceived the CNDR as being a positive development and 72% felt traffic calming measures were required in their area, particularly on Burgh Road. The public consultation held for the residents of Brampton Road and the northern half of Carlisle on Thursday 29 November 2012, at the Stanwix Primary School had 31 attendees. 29 of these residents attending completed the Roads and Traffic questionnaire. The details of the consultation are contained in Section 4 of this report. 62% of those completing the questionnaire were of the opinion that traffic had increased in the local area, following the implementation of the CNDR. 79% perceived the CNDR as being a positive development and 59% felt traffic calming measures were required in their area, particularly on Brampton Road. Based on the supplementary traffic count figures, resident comments and observations made on site, it is concluded that traffic calming measures are primarily only warranted for Burgh Road, to address the significant increase in traffic volumes resulting from the CNDR. Five possible traffic calming options are proposed:

Page 167

• Option 1: Constructing a gateway feature on Burgh Road at the existing 30mph speed limit start.

• Option 2: Construct footway build-outs to narrow carriageway at three possible locations.

• Option 3: Reduce speed limit to 40mph on Moorhouse Road and Orton Road.

• Option 4: Reduce carriageway width with white lining to standardise lane widths on Moorhouse Road.

• Option 5: Implement voluntary one-way routing of HGVs from the Burgh Road Industrial Estate, such that HGVs travel westbound along Burgh Road to access the CNDR and eastbound along Moorhouse Road to access the Burgh Road Industrial Estate from the CNDR.

VIADUCT ESTATE S278 CYCLE LINK – FUNDING OPTIONS

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1. This report has been prepared to advise the Local Committee of a grant made by the Department for Transport to part fund cycle improvement works on the Viaduct Estate Road. The report details the implications of the grant and work that would be required to be carried out to enable progress with the scheme.

2. STRATEGIC PLANNING AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS

2.1. The proposals in this report support the delivery of Community Strategy and Cumbria Agreement outcomes and Council Plan priorities, which are




The proposals aim to achieve these by contributing to achieving the County Council’s aspirations for Cumbria. In particular for the environment by providing options for sustainable and economical alternative forms of transport into and across the city centre, and by helping to encourage people to have an independent and healthy life. Providing economical forms of transport into the city centre also contributes to the County Council’s aspiration for Cumbria to have a thriving economy.

In addition to the above the scheme also aids the County Council to achieve aims of the Local Transport Plan LTP3. By providing improvement to Cycling and Walking links the scheme will provide the opportunity for increased use of these more sustainable forms of

Agenda Item 9

Page 169

transport thus helping to reduce congestion, and improving air quality. It should however be noted that the gains from this scheme are only likely to be small.

2.2. No specific equality impact assessment has been carried out for this scheme. The scheme addresses access issues that have been highlighted. Improvements to the existing narrow footway to the North end of Viaduct Estate will improve access to the estate for all people.

3. RECOMMENDATION

3.1 That the Local Committee resolves to apply for the grant of £40,000 to contribute to this scheme and agrees to progress the scheme to completion by March 2014.

3.2 That the Local Committee resolves to commence formal consultation to make the necessary changes to the existing one way traffic regulation order to provide an exemption for cyclists travelling in a northerly direction.

4. BACKGROUND

4.1. As part of the Connect 2 Bid some years ago Carlisle City Council submitted a number of schemes to Sustrans for funding. These included connecting the Caldew Cycleway to Castleway via the Viaduct Estate Ramp.

4.2. The Local Committee will be aware that a report advising on the development of this scheme was considered at it’s meeting on 12th December 2012. At the recommendation of the Highways Working Group a decision to progress the scheme was deferred pending a review on completion of the new cycle ramp to the north side of Castleway which will be funded from the S106 monies from the Sainsbury’s Development.

4.3. The DfT recently announced a £62 million government investment to make Cycling more attractive for people in England. £15 million of that funding was available to boost the Community Linking Places Fund that supports schemes that in part encourage community cycling. It appears that Sustrans who are the awarding body for this funding submitted the Viaduct Estate Ramp Improvement scheme as part of a package of schemes for funding in Cumbria. The overall value of the grant is in excess of £340,000. £40,000 is for the Viaduct Estate Ramp scheme.

4.4. The conditions of the grant are :

4.4.1 That the scheme must be complete by the end of March 2014.

4.4.2 That the scheme must be match funded at a minimum level of 30% of the DfT Grant. In this case that sum would need to be a minimum of £12,000. Initial assessment of the scheme indicates that the work on Castleway proposed by The City Council which includes enhancements to the planters adjacent to the top of the ramp, enabling an improvement in visibility, would justify a contribution at this level.

Page 170

4.5. An outline design for the scheme has been completed and its detail is shown on the plan contained in Appendix 1

4.6. A Road Safety note has been prepared for the scheme. The issue of inter-visibility between pedestrians and cyclists at the top of the ramp has been raised. This cannot be designed to meet current standards without very significant expense but Members are advised the proposed scheme would significantly improve the present situation. There are no issues raised in the note that cannot be addressed during the detail design stage of the scheme.

4.7. Two areas of risk have been identified with the scheme. These are that a small strip of land currently owned by Network Rail is required to complete the crossing point at the south end of the scheme. Enquiries have been made to Network Rail who owns the land. The intention is to request that an agreement is entered into with Network Rail to dedicate a strip of land as highway to facilitate the scheme. The second is that in order for cyclists to ride up the ramp it will be necessary to change the existing one way traffic order. It will require early consultation to achieve this within the required time scales.

4.8. Members are also advised that there are proposals to carry out public realm improvements in the area as a result of planning conditions placed upon the new Sainsbury store in Caldewgate. Discussions with City Council officers suggest that elements of the scheme could be incorporated within these proposals and as such it is felt that it would be appropriate to use contributions from the funding for the S106 Public Realm works to support the implementation of this scheme.

4.9. It is also noted that there has been a request through the Castle Neighbourhood Forum for improvements for pedestrians between the Viaduct Estate and Castleway. The scheme shown on the plan in Appendix 1 will address the issues that were raised.

5. OPTIONS

5.1. The Local Committee can resolve to apply for the grant and progress the scheme to completion by March 2014

5.2. The Local Committee may resolve to take no further action on this matter relying on the previous decision to allow the ramp to the North side of Castleway to be constructed and to monitor the effects of this before proceeding further. It should be noted that it is possible that funding for the Viaduct Estate ramp is unlikely to be available in the future.

6. RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS

6.1. An outline estimate has been prepared for this scheme. Based on outline design work the suggested scheme cost is in the region of £50,000.

6.2. Proposed funding for the scheme comprises:

6.2.1. Grant from DfT Community Linking Spaces Fund £40,000 max

Page 171

6.2.2. Contribution from Sainsbury’s S106 Public Realm Enhancement funding £12,000

6.3. Total contribution £52,000 max.

6.4. The funding mechanism for the grant is such that payment of the funding will be made on completion of the scheme. Failure to complete the scheme within the time constraints will result in no payment being made. Any costs incurred at that time would have to be met by the County Council.

7. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

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

8. CONCLUSION

8.1. At present there is no requirement from the Conditions of the Planning Consent for Tesco for the County Council to carry out the outstanding works detailed in the S278 Agreement.

8.2. It is understood that the scheme for a ramp under Caldew Bridges to the North side of Castleway will in part address the continuity of the Cycleway but it does not help pedestrians and cyclists wishing to access the city centre.

8.3. The scheme for the Viaduct Estate ramp will address all the outstanding issues and allow the completion of a link for pedestrians and cyclists between the south west side of the city and the city centre.

DENTON HOLME LIBRARY OPENING HOURS


1.1 Following feedback from the Library Review the library service are looking at the opening times of all Libraries to make them available at times people want to use them.

1.2 As a result of consultation with current library and Community Centre users at Denton Holme it is proposed to change the existing opening hours and improve access to the library’s services The proposals also help address health and safety issues relating to the staff. Members are asked to note and approve the change.


2.1 It is County Council Policy that any proposed changes in Library Service opening hours are brought to the relevant Local Committee.

2.2 There are no additional budgetary implications attached to these proposals.

2.3 Although the pattern is being altered, the overall opening hours are not being reduced and the Library will offer an improved opportunity for all sections of the community to enjoy access to library services.

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 Members are recommended to approve the new opening hours for Denton Holme Library. The hours are:

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 Denton Holme Library is one of a number of libraries in Carlisle based in a Community Centre and works closely with the Centre to deliver a service to the whole community.

4.2 The opening times of Denton Holme have grown up in an ad hoc way and have not been revised for many years. On occasions like the period between 5 and 6 on a Thursday very few people use the service and there are no activities in the Centre. At other times like the lunch period on Wednesday there are a range of well attended activities in the Centre where many of the people would find the Library a useful service. The new hours generally would provide a better use of the 10 hours opening times. The proposed new hours would continue to suit class visits from Robert Fergusson School and would provide opportunities after school to use the libraries

4.3 We are concerned about the health and safety situation on a Thursday evening where the Centre is unstaffed and our member of staff needs to control and lock the building. We do not have the resources to double staff the library and it is a time when the library receives little or no use.

4.4 As with library services across the County we will continue to monitor use and demand for the service and if in the future these patterns change we will revisit opening times to ensure they fit the needs of the community.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 Members are agree the changes to opening hours

Page 178


6.1 There are no financial implications for the Library Service

6.2 The performance of Denton Holme Library will continue to be monitored and if necessary changes made to times, with the committee’s approval.

6.3 This proposal offers value for money as services to the public are being revised, in line with the results of public consultation, within existing resources.


7.1 Part 5, paragraph 28 of the Constitution places an executive function on the Local Committee to name and determine the opening hours of local libraries. The Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964, section 7, puts on the County Council a duty to “provide a comprehensive and efficient library service for all persons desiring to make use thereof”. Members will need to have regard to this duty when approving, rejecting or amending the library opening hours.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 The proposed changes will better meet the needs of the community by having the Library open at times when it is most likely to be used and will promote closer working with the Community Centre and its users.

COMMUNITIES BUDGET 2013/14


1.1 This paper sets out the budget for 2013/14 as set by Cabinet and Council and seeks confirmation from the Local Committee on identifying key allocations and commitments for the 2013/14 year.


2.1 This report provides detail on the budget allocations for Carlisle Local Committee and is based upon guidance for the use of those allocations from the Executive, in line with the Council Plan and the 2013/14 Budget agreed by Council on 14 February 2013. It also builds on the Cabinet decision on 7 February 2013 where the Local Committee allocations, criteria and devolved responsibilities were approved.

2.2 In 2011 the Council agreed a new Council Plan. In this Council Plan for 2011–2014 the Council has made a clear commitment to being as effective and efficient as possible, and this objective underpins the priorities of:

· challenging poverty in all its forms;

· ensuring the most vulnerable people in our communities receive the support they need; and

· improving the chances in life of the most disadvantaged in Cumbria

2.3 There are no equality implications arising from this report.

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 That £129,772, the full Neighbourhood Support Budget, is allocated to the funding of the Area Support Team for 2013/14

Agenda Item 11

Page 181

3.2 That £53,890, the full Money Advice – CAB Budget, is allocated to the provision of money advice through the contract with the CAB.

3.3 That either £29,568 (Option A) or £22,208 (Options B) from the total Local Committee’s discretionary fund is allocated to fund the provision of School Crossing Patrols in the Carlisle area to cover the 8 sites or the 6 sites not having vacancies, be set as the budget for School Crossing Patrols.

3.4 That £147,770, from the total Local Committee’s discretionary fund is initially allocated to 0-19 Services budget.

3.5 That 40%, £59,108 of the 0-19 services budget be allocated to Electoral Division Community grants funds on the basis of the 0-19 populations.

3.6 That £70,000, from the total Local Committee’s discretionary fund is allocated to Community Grants (Neighbourhood Forum Grants) and be allocated across the 18 Electoral Divisions based on the population of the Electoral Divisions.

3.7 That £10,000, from the total Local Committee’s discretionary fund is allocated for a Carlisle Wide Grants fund.

3.8 That the remaining balance from the Local Committee’s discretionary fund is allocated to General Provision funding.

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 The proposed budgets as they relate to Local Committees were presented to the Leadership and Local Committees Chairs Meeting on 23rd January 2013. The process by which Local Committee budget allocations are determined, is that they are considered by County Council in total as part of the overall budget setting process, and individual allocations are agreed by Cabinet.

4.2 A number of changes were made to the Local Committee budgets in 2011/12. Local Committees were given greater flexibility on the use of their budgets, and restrictions on the ring fencing associated with specific budget lines was removed to a certain degree. This was further extended for 2012/13 and will be increased for 2013/14 to cover 0-19 services.

4.3 The changes to the Local Committee budgets include that all six of the Council’s Local Committees would see a cash reduction of 20% in relation to specific areas (0-19, general provision and school crossing patrol budget allocations). However, Local Committees have discretion to manage their budget within the cash limits hence it is for Local Committees to decide exactly how to support the delivery of local priorities with their available budgets.

4.4 The overall impact is to have a fewer number of different budget headings, clarity on the limitations on the use of budget headings and greater flexibility around other budget headings. Instead of the range of more complex and

Page 182

prescriptive budget lines previously delegated to Local Committees, there are now 5 revenue Community Budget lines only.

4.5 This report does not deal with the Highways Revenue budget or the Highways Capital Allocation. A separate report deals with these.

4.6 In summary, this report deals with the following:

General Provision; 0-19 Services; School Crossing Patrols; Money Advice Contract and Neighbourhood Support

4.7 There are a range of strategies, plans and policies which should assist in guiding the allocation of funds available to Local Committees. Indeed under the Constitution the Local Committee is bound to adhere to the County Council’s Policy Framework, composed of policies and plans agreed and adopted by Council as a whole. The primary document is the Council Plan 2011 – 2014. In developing the Area Plan data on the area and the key strategic projects and priorities have been outlined.

4.8 For each Electoral Division we have the data available through the Observatory along with our own knowledge of available assets alongside specific local needs. There are a large number of Parish and Parish Cluster Plans which also identify local needs and issues.

4.9 Other areas of consideration are the requirements outlined in the Constitution and through the budget setting process on the limitations of certain budgets and the need for Local Committee to identify the levels of funding available to support the community grants and community engagement.

4.10 In considering the options, Members are reminded of the restrictions to virements that are outlined in the referenced Council paper and summarised in Appendix 1.

4.11 In Appendix 2 is a summary of the Local Committee allocations.

4.12 Neighbourhood Support

4.13 A review of the functions of the Area Support Team was completed in 2010/11 and a revised staff structure put in place. The devolved budget line reflects the changes to the team and the reduction in the budget required. The costs of the team will fall within this new budget. Local Committee are recommended to confirm the entire budget as the allocation to the Area Support Team (£129,772).

4.14 Money Advice

4.15 Members will be aware that this budget line covers the costs of an existing contract. The funding is ring fenced for this purpose. It is recommended that Local Committee confirm the full allocation for the Money Advice contract locally (£53,890).

Page 183

4.16 General Provision, School Crossing Patrols and 0-19 Services

4.17 As already outlined Local Committee has the discretion to manage their budget within the cash limits and hence it is for Local Committee to decide exactly how to support the delivery of local priorities with their available budgets.

School Crossing Patrols

4.18 A portion of this total budget (£275,018) needs to be allocated to cover the costs associated with providing School Crossing Patrol (SCP) services. Whilst historically the School Crossing Patrol budget has been fully utilised a significant part has been spent on road safety improvements each year. The full year cost of the SCP service for the 8 locations where crossers have been identified would be around £40,566. Currently there are 4 vacancies, two of which have met the criteria to be disestablished in line with County policy. This would reduce the demand on funding to £29,568. It is recommended that £29,568 be allocated for SCP but reviewed regularly during the year. A copy of the Service Agreement is included at Appendix 3.

4.19 An alternative would be to not allocate funding for the two vacancies (Brampton & Newtown Rd). This would reduce the required allocation by 14h 30mins to 43hrs 45mins, £22,208. The allocation would be reduced to £22,208 and if vacancies are filled, funding could then be appropriately allocated during the year.

0 – 19 Services, Community Grants and General Provision

4.20 Previously the Local Committee has stressed its desire to allocate a portion of the 0-19 Services budget to each of the 17 (soon to be 18) Electoral Divisions. In setting the budget for 2012/13 this was considered as a preferred option but the legal advice overruled it. Since that time there has been a change to the Constitution which would enable the 0-19 Services fund to be distributed to each of the Electoral Divisions to be used alongside Neighbourhood Forum grants. However, there have also been changes to the Local Committee allocations that provide much more freedom to allocate funding. It is this element that needs to be explored.

4.21 Options were discussed with the Youth Working Group to establish some principles and these are presented here.

4.22 It is also worth recapping that once the School Crossing Patrols budget has been set, the Local Committee need to consider funding for the Neighbourhood Forum grants across the new 18 Electoral Divisions; the level of funding to be retained for use by Local Committee both for General Provision and any Area Wide grants allocation; and an allocation for 0-19 Services.

4.23 Reflecting on the last two years, the Working Group felt the use of the 0-19 Services budget from a central Local Committee held fund has worked well. In considering any possible apportionment between Local Committee held fund and the Electoral Divisions, consideration should be given to the broader flexibility now available, the fact that all the funding is now one

Page 184

discretional pot and the net result of creating what could be very small local budgets.

4.24 One approach discussed would be to retain a significant Local Committee held 0-19 Services budget and allocate similar levels of funding to the Community Grants budgets in each of the Electoral Divisions but emphasise that these local community grants budgets are also available for the local provision of 0-19 services as listed under the guidance used previously (Appendix 4). The allocations for the Community Grants to each Electoral Division could be made on the basis of an allocation for the all age population for the Division and an allocation for the 0-19 aged population.

4.25 An alternative approach is to allocate separate sums to each Electoral Division for general community grants and 0-19 services with the two budgets kept separate.

4.26 Population figures for the new Electoral Divisions are still being worked on but will be available soon. This will include the general populations and the 0-19 aged populations.

4.27 As a guide, in Appendix 5 is a possible allocation basis. There are a number of assumptions:

0-19 services are a priority and therefore the total funding available for 0-19 services should not be reduced from the 2012/13 level of £147,770

60% of the 0-19 service budget is retained at Local Committee and 40% is devolved to Electoral Divisions

The funding available for general Community Grants is reduced from £100,000 (2012/13) to £70,000 (2013/14).

£10,000 is retained at Local Committee for Area Wide grants

4.28 Whilst the Electoral Divisions and population figures shown in Appendix 5 are only indicative (and based on the Electoral Divisions to be phased out), Members will get the feel of the impact of the decisions:

4.29 To approve an overall 0-19 Services Budget of £147,770.

4.30 To approve 60% of the 0-19 Services budget being retained at Local Committee level and that 40% (£59,108) be apportioned on the 0-19 population figures for each of the 18 Electoral Divisions.

4.31 To approve £70,000 being allocated to community grants and apportioned using the general population figures of the 18 Electoral Divisions.

4.32 That the general Community Grants budget allocation and the 0-19 allocation for each Electoral Division be used as a single Community Grants pot, targeting local issues and projects through one of the three methods of determining grants:

Through the view of a public meeting being provided to the determining officer for consideration

Through the view of a grants panel being provided to the determining officer for consideration

Through the view of the local Member(s) for the area concerned being provided to the determining officer for consideration

4.33 To approve £10,000 being earmarked from the remaining discretional fund for Area Wide Grants

4.34 To note that the remaining discretional fund will form the General Provision budget.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 The Working Group has considered the implications of the budget cuts and the greater freedom now available to Local Committee. On balance the recommendation is to approve retention of a fund for 0-19 Services at Local Committee level and to establish community grants budgets for each of the 18 Electoral Divisions based on a pro-rata allocation of funds to the general population and to the 0-19 population that can be used on local priorities or projects. Local Committee could agree to this or determine to allocate the funds on an alternative basis.

5.2 A further alternative is to defer decision on allocating the Local Committee budget until after the Elections. An impact of this would be that community groups enquiring about grants would be asked to make contact after mid June.


6.1 County Council approved a Local Committee budget at its meeting of 14 February 2013 as outlined in the attached appendices.

6.2 Approval of the recommendations would fully allocate the Neighbourhood Support and Money Advice – CAB budgets to activities supporting these areas.

Page 186

6.3 The budget available for General Provision, 0-19 Services and School Crossing Patrols totals £275,018. The recommendations propose two alternative budget allocations, and these are outlined at paragraph 4.27. Option A would leave a balance of £17,680 available for future allocation against General Provision and Option B a balance of £25,040.


7.1 Local committee budgets are delegated to Local Committees by Cabinet to enable them to perform the functions delegated to them by the Constitution.

7.2 In relation to recommendation 3.2, the Council is contractually obliged to pay the agreed sum under the Money Advice contract, of which the Local Committee’s allocation is part. It is a Local Committee function to support the development of debt rescue and money advice services across the area.

7.3 Recommendations 3.1. and 3.6 reflect previous legal advice provided relating to the operation of neighbourhood forums pursuant to pargraph 22 of part 5 of the Constitution.

7.4 Recommendations 3.4. and 3.5 are authorised by pargraph 24 of part 5 of the Constitution.

7.5 Recommendations 3.7 and 3.8 are authorised by paragraphs 17 and 18 of part 5 of the Constitution.

7.6 In relation to recommendation 3.3 of this Report, it is a Local Committee function to exercise the powers and discharge the duties of the County Council in relation to school crossing patrols pursuant to paragraph 16 of part 5 of the Constitution.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 The options for the allocation of the Local Committee budgets for 2013/14 were discussed with the Youth Working Group as the key element of setting the budget is the 0-19 Services allocation. The recommendations from the Working Group are presented for consideration.

SCHOOL CROSSING PATROLS – SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT FOR 2013/14 WITH CARLISLE LOCAL COMMITTEE The 2013/14 agreement will continue to embrace the following service aspects:

• Training – all school crossing patrols will continue to receive refresher road safety training, including an update on current road traffic legislation as it relates to their role.

• Customer Care – all school crossing patrols will continue to receive guidance on the importance and benefits of customer care with particular reference to the needs of children and accompanying adults.

• Uniforms and equipment – the requirements of all school crossing patrols are continually assessed to ensure that they comply fully with current legislation. Statutory items of uniform (hat and coat) and equipment will be issued accordingly.

• Management activities – Resources Facilities Management Unit will pay all salaries and standard employment costs for each individual crossing patrol and recruit any replacements as directed. We will continue to liaise with associated schools to ensure effective absence cover where possible and information to parents. We will also work closely with schools to make the crossing patrol service sufficiently flexible to accommodate any changes to departure or arrival times for breakfast clubs, after school clubs and special events.

However, site reviews, public consultation exercises and traffic surveys will remain the responsibility of the Local Committee and as such, Resources Facilities Management Unit will not be involved. Similarly, Resources Facilities Management Unit will not be responsible for enforcement of any local parking restrictions or alterations that may be required to the highway, including road markings, hazard warning lights or flashing beacons. Cumbria County Council has established a new, wholly owned Local Authority company; Orian Solutions Limited, which will deliver facilities management services – including foodservice, building cleaning, fire extinguisher servicing and school crossing patrols – from 1 April 2013. The school crossers and their area management teams will be transferring to the new company on 31 March 2013 and will to deliver this service to you. Invoices for services provided will come from Orian Solutions Ltd and include VAT (which is reclaimable) at the appropriate rate. Legal information The school crossing patrol service complies with the legislative requirements of the School Crossing Patrol Act 1953, School Crossing Patrol Order 1954 and the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, which was subsequently amended by the Transport Act 2000 (section 270). The law gives a school crossing patrol appointed by an appropriate authority the power to stop traffic on condition that they are wearing a uniform approved by the Secretary of State and are using the prescribed sign. The law states that even where a crossing patrol is provided, parents remain responsible for ensuring their children’s safety on their journey to and from school.

4.3 As part of the 2011-12 County Council budget settlement for Local

Committees, there was a new revenue scheme, financed for one year only, but available across two financial years. It makes available, through Local Committee decisions, £12,000 in respect of each electoral division across Carlisle. Being revenue, it is not constrained by the capital expenditure rules. In addition as part of the 2012-13 County Council budget settlement for Local Committees, there was additional revenue finance provided for one year only but available across two financial years. This provided a further £10,000 in respect

Page 199

of each electoral division across Carlisle but can be spent up to the 2013-14 financial year.

7.1 Part 5 paragraph 25 of the constitution permits approval of local member schemes.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 The use of these Electoral Division Local Member Scheme budgets, when linked to the Council’s well-being powers does enable a flexible response to perceived local needs, and is capable of resolving some long standing blockages and frustrations for local people, having regard to wider community benefit as a key outcome.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITY


1.1 This report provides a case study of recent community engagement activities delivered in the Carlisle Area and a summary of General Community Engagement Activity undertaken by the Area Support Team to date


2.1 Neighbourhood Forums, Community Events and Community Based Consultation form part of the County Council’s consultation process and support the Council to ensure the underpinning aim of being “Effective and Efficient” is achieved whilst targeting the County Council’s key priorities:

Challenging poverty in all its forms;

Ensuring that the most vulnerable people in our communities receive the support they need; and,

Improving the chances in life of the most disadvantaged in Cumbria

2.2 A separate Equality Impact Assessment is not required as equality issues are dealt with at a grant level and through monitoring of the Directorate EIA. Applicants are required to submit equal opportunities statements, child protection and vulnerable adult’s policies along with supporting data about inclusion of the community and responding to the community based on Ward Profiles, Community Plans, Parish Plans, etc. Grant funding is monitored on the District protected characteristics under the EIA for the Directorate.

Agenda Item 14

Page 233

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 Members are asked to note the report.

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 This report will outline the activity of the Area Support Team in supporting community engagement work across Carlisle and District with a focus on two case studies.

4.2 There have been a number of general community engagement activities as detailed in Appendix 1.

4.3 The two engagement activity case studies include supporting the Denton Holme Survey and the support in developing St Aidans Community First.

4.4 The Denton Holme Survey follows on from work delivered in the past by the Area Support Team and has been developed alongside the County and District ward councillors representing the area. The short survey, accessible on line and hand delivered to houses in Denton Holme, aims to capture the feelings of the community in respect to the services they access and the area that they live in. It follows on from engagement activities delivered by the area support team where the community have been invited to celebrate achievements in Denton Holme and identify opportunities for improvement.

4.5 The findings from these engagement events where used in developing the survey alongside additional questions requested from other agencies and directorates to support consultation work that they are doing.

4.6 Responses will be collated for a report which will be available for residents to view and which can be used to prioritise local needs, and identify any potential gaps or issues for other services to address. The report also aims to identify successes and will provide a snapshot on what has changed since the last survey which was carried out by the Area Support Team in 2006.

4.7 The Community First programme is an £80m government-funded initiative that will run for four years, until March 2015, helping communities to come together. The St Aidans Electoral Division area was chosen to be part of the programme and the Area Support Team has been working alongside the local Member to support the community to set up the local panel and meet the objectives of the Community First scheme.

4.8 The community first objectives include; setting up a community led grants panel; creating a website; create a community plan to identify the key priorities for the St Aidans community. The Area Support Team provided initial administration and facilitation to develop the community led grants panel. The Team also supported the Panel to engage and involve the wider community through drop in events to enable true involvement in the community plan development. The team continue to offer support to the Community First group as it needs it, but have stepped back to allow the group to grow and take greater ownership of the project.

Page 234

These objectives have been achieved with the St Aidans Community First Panel regularly meeting to distribute grants totalling £7,000 over the last year, a further £22,000 over the next 2 years and deliver community events across the St Aidans area (Appendix 3).

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 Members are asked to note the content of the Community Engagement Activity report.


6.1 Carlisle Local Committee helps fund the Area Support Team via the £145,852 Neighbourhood Support Budget. This is a fully committed budget paid over in monthly intervals throughout the financial year.


7.1 As members are only being asked to note the content there are no legal implications to the report as written.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 Members are asked to note the work of the Area Support Team in Appendix 1, specific engagement activity in Appendix 2 and 3

Community First is an England-wide programme, funded by the Office for Civil Society, on behalf of

the Government. It will run until March 2015. A fund of money, worth £30m, has been created to

help communities come together, become more resilient, and make their local area a better place to

live. The funds have been distributed to 600 areas across England, selected by CDF according to

several criteria to encourage people to give time and expertise to local projects.

Community First Panels: Community First Panels: Community First Panels: Community First Panels: Each of the 600 areas will have their own panel, comprised of local people

to represent their community. They will be involved in creating a plan for the local area, raising

Agenda Item 15

Page 249

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

3.1 Members are asked to note the request from Brampton and Beyond Community Trust to consider a Community Asset Transfer of buildings formerly part of Brampton Infant School.

3.2 Members are asked to provide their initial views regarding this request which will be reported to the Corporate Director when assessing the suitability of the property for a potential asset transfer.

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 The council has been approached by Brampton and Beyond Community Trust who are seeking the transfer of a council asset in order to support and enhance the work that they undertake and would like to develop in their community.

4.2 The Community Asset Transfer (CAT) process allows the Council to transfer properties or land for community benefit without seeking a market price for purchase, subject to certain conditions being met. The assets the council owns in local communities play an important part in enabling the community to come together and can support a range of activities and services which benefit the social and economic well being of an area, as well as provide opportunities to enhance the health and wellbeing of the local community.

4.3 The buildings that were formerly part of Brampton Infant school are situated on both sides of Moat road. Brampton and Beyond Community Trust want to use these buildings as part of their ongoing development and delivery of services to the local community.

4.4 The trust would like to use the buildings in the medium term to maintain services that are currently being delivered in the Community centre which will be undergoing improvement works in the near future. It also wants to utilise the buildings as a long term asset for the trust to provide collateral towards community businesses, projects and the long term sustainability of the trust.

4.5 Brampton and Beyond Community Trust are seeking to provide facilities and services to the area to support the health and well being of the wider community. This includes the facilitation of social welfare projects, recreational and leisure activities alongside the continued development of the community centre and growth of services accessible to the community.

4.6 The trust will work with the community to provide additional benefit and resources through the proposed asset transfer. Options that the trust is considering include; affordable housing for shared ownership or rent; visitor hostel; increased community recreational and leisure activities.

4.7 The Trust will seek to resource further feasibility work on the development of the asset should they be invited to proceed, alongside a formal community consultation which will form the basis for preparing a business case for future consideration.

Page 250

4.8 The Area Support team will work with officers from across the council to support the Asset Transfer process. The group will keep members up to date on any significant issues arising from the process.

4.9 The process for a Community Asset Transfer is that on receipt of an Expression of Interest this is shared with the Local Committee and they are asked to give a view. The Expression of Interest, and the view of the Local Committee is then discussed at the Land and Property Monthly Review meeting with the Corporate Director to check the suitability of the asset and the group for a potential asset transfer of some form. The group will then be advised of this outcome and either asked to submit a full application or advised that the property/use is not suitable for an asset transfer.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 Members may support the commencement of the Community Asset Transfer process.

5.2 Members may wish to propose other action.


6.1 There are no direct financial implications for Carlisle Local Committee budgets.

6.2 Commencement of the community asset transfer process would require a full financial evaluation and approval by Cabinet.


7.1 On 13 September 2012, Cabinet resolved to adopt a Property Disposals Policy and a Community Asset Transfer Policy, both of which provided that future decisions to transfer property to community groups for less than market value would be made by Cabinet.

7.2 Where the County Council disposes of its land, it is under a statutory duty pursuant to section 123 of the Local Government Act 1972 to do so at the best consideration (i.e. price) reasonably obtainable, unless a consent to a disposal at an undervalue has been obtained from the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State has issued a general consent allowing local authorities to dispose of land at an undervalue where they consider that to do so will help to secure the promotion or improvement of the economic, social or environmental well-being of the area, provided that the difference between the value of the land interest to be disposed of and the consideration being accepted by the Council ("the undervalue") is £2,000,000 (two million pounds) or less. The County Council may, therefore, rely on this general consent in relation to the disposal of its land if it considers that the well-being benefits would justify selling the land at a discount.

Page 251

7.3 The local committee is being asked to give its views on the proposed Community Asset Transfers to inform Cabinet and to enable Cabinet to make a decision as to whether the proposed transfers should be approved. The Community Asset Transfer policy of Cumbria County Council sets out the principle that the views of the relevant local committee should be sought in respect of any proposed community asset transfer.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 Brampton and Beyond Community Trust endeavours to work in close partnership with the wider community in a range of ways, developing increased community services from the former Brampton Infant School site is one. The Community Asset Transfer will enable the trust to proceed and undertake the necessary measures in order to ensure improved and enhanced facilities are available to more members of the local community.

8.2 The Area Support Team will work with officers from a range of disciplines within the council to support the Community Asset Transfer process.

Describe what does your organisation does?

Explain why you are applying for a community asset transfer and how this will benefit the wider community?

3. Reasons for Transfer

The Trust seeks to provide facilities and services to the area of benefit to support the health and well being of the community, including the facilitation of social welfare, recreational and leisure activities, the provision of a community centre with a wide range of services, and any other charitable purposes as may from time to time be determined. It will set up subsidiary businesses, or support the setting up of community businesses, to achieve its charitable objects. It is currently operating Brampton Community Centre, preparing a development project to improve the Community Centre facilities and provide Extra Care Housing on the same site. It is also supporting the development of a community-based Anaerobic Digester project and supporting events co-ordination and promotion across the area. The Trust is also actively considering developing several other community services and projects, including health and well being activity through the Neighbourhood Care Programme, support for businesses through the Rural Growth Network pilot, and addressing the long standing affordable housing shortage in the area.

The acquisition of the former Brampton Infant School property has the potential to benefit the community by strengthening the Trust through:

1. Providing an option for maintaining serves in the medium term during the

delivery of the Community Centre improvement and Extra Care Housing

project.

2. Providing a long term asset for the Trust and provide collateral for the

development of community business.

The community could directly benefit through the development of the property by the Trust to meet the needs of the community. The options that the Trust is considering include: affordable housing (for shared ownership or rent) and a visitor hostel, meeting local housing needs and a gap in the visitor economy respectively. The Trust would also intend to consider other community use and other employment and service options with limited demands for vehicular access in this residential cul de sac. All this will require further feasibility work, which the Trust will seek to resource and commission if it is invited by the Council to proceed to preparing a business case. This further work will also include involvement and consultation with other community interested parties.

2.1 The County Council Plan advocates that the Council should act as an enabler so that people can make a difference to their own lives and the quality of life in their communities. In particular the project addresses ‘The Council supporting communities to play more of a role and work in partnership with them’.

2.2 Community Asset Transfers contribute towards the Council’s underpinning aim of making Cumbria County Council as effective and efficient as possible.

2.3 Local Committee for Carlisle is mindful of equality issues and duly considers that its actions and decisions do not result in inequality of service provision or exclusion from participation. The work of Local Committee directly supports the Council’s wider equalities agenda.

3.2 Members are asked to provide their initial views regarding this request which will be reported to the Corporate Director when assessing the suitability of the property for a potential asset transfer.

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 The Council has been approached by Walton Parish Council who are seeking the transfer of a Council asset in order to benefit the parishioners and community of the area.

The assets which the Council owns in local communities play an important part in enabling the community to come together and can support a range of activities and services which benefit the social and economic well being of an area, as well as provide opportunities to enhance the health and wellbeing of the local community.

4.3 Two pieces of land that are adjacent to Walton Village Green are currently owned by the Council but are regularly used by the local community as part of the village green.

4.4 Walton Parish Council maintains the present village green as part of its responsibilities to the parish; this includes the regular maintenance of the adjacent land owned by the Council and the subject of this CAT. The Parish Council also insures the area, including adjacent land, for public liability.

4.5 The Parish Council are committed to maintaining the plots of land that are the subject of this CAT, and ensuring they will be protected for community use now and in the future. Walton Parish Council will treat the land as a registered part of the current village green and in this way secure its continued use by the local community.

4.6 The Area Support Team will work with officers from across the Council to support the Asset Transfer process. The team will keep members up to date on any significant issues arising from the process.

4.7 The process for a Community Asset Transfer is on receipt of an Expression of Interest this is shared with the Local Committee and they are asked to give a view.

8.0 CONCLUSION

8.1 Walton Parish Council endeavours to work in close partnership with the wider community in a range of ways. Maintaining and preserving the village green is one. The CAT will enable the Parish Council to legally own these areas of land adjacent to the village green and ensure that they continue to be used by the community.

8.2 The Area Support Team will work with officers from a range of disciplines within the Council to support the CAT process.

3. Reasons for Transfer

Walton Parish Council is responsible as the third tier of local government directly for

the parishioners of Walton. We have sound governance arrangements and operate

through open and accountable co-operative processes, with strong monitoring

evaluation, performance and financial management systems.

We pride ourselves in being responsible for ensuring the residents of our parish gain

value for money through their precept with regards to community/ social

/environmental and economic benefits. Being a tier of local government we are non-

profit making and we have specified community benefit objectives through our

recently updated Community Led Plan. We are also compliant with health and

safety issues and other relevant legislation.

We would like to stress that due to the nature of the assets applied for and the fact

that we are a Parish Council we would like to request that a full application process

not be applied to this case and a freehold transfer be made.

We are applying for a freehold asset transfer of the two plots of land marked A and

B on the attached map. One of our many responsibilities as a Parish Council is to

maintain the Village Green in the centre of our parish – we do this by carrying out

grass cutting up to 10 times per year and we insure the area for public liability. We

are also responsible for the insurance and maintenance of any trees on this land.

As these two parcels of land fall adjacent to our Village Green we actually are

already maintaining these areas for the benefit of the parishioners through the

precept and we would like this fact acknowledged by becoming the legal land

owners.

In keeping with the rest of the open green spaces in our village we will commit to

maintain that the plots of land will be protected for community use – as they are at

present. This will either be by registering them as village green or by treating them

as registered village green without the registration process. They areas will

therefore continue to be a community asset and support the enhancement of our

rural village and by allowing us to take ownership of the land it will enable us to

continue with our regular maintenance programme – thereby supporting

environmental well-being. The up-keep of our village is very important to our

parishioners and contributes also to their social well-being.

One potential future use of the assets is to register them as Village Green so that

an area of land adjacent to the village hall could be de-registered. This could allow

the extension of the village hall thereby further supporting the our small community by providing them with better amenities.

How will your organisation meet all the costs associated with taking on ownership (leasehold

or freehold) of the asset?

YOUR ORGANISATION

Name of person completing the form

Position in organisation Date

The Parish Council fully support this proposed asset transfer.

Sarah Kyle

Clerk & RFO

18 December 2012

As stated above, we are already responsible for paying for the assets maintenance

and insurance and so the granting of a freehold transfer will not increase our costs

as this is a cost we are already bearing.

The fact that we already maintain the assets demonstrates we have the skills and

capacity within our Council to effectively deliver services and manage the asset in

the future and we commit to fully comply with legislation and any statutory

requirements arising from transfer of the asset. We also commit to continue to bear

any costs associated with the upkeep, repair and maintenance of the asset; all

running costs, including insurance and also to comply with statutory and legislative

requirements, including inspections and health and safety requirements.

Money for the parish council is raised through taxation (precept). We have a stable

financial position and track record with a demonstrable financial plan.

COUNTY COUNCIL LOCAL COMMITTEE FOR CARLISLE Notes of a County Council Local Committee for Carlisle Seminar held on Tuesday 22 January 2013 at The Courts, Carlisle at 9.30 am.

PRESENT

Mr CF Weber (Chair)

Mr T Allison Mr J Bell Mrs H Bradley Mr LN Fisher Mr J Mallinson (Vice-Chair)

Mr NH Marriner Mr H McDevitt Mr I Stockdale Mr A Toole Mr R Watson

Also in attendance:-

Mrs L Harker - Democratic Services Officer Mr A Moss - Assistant Director – Highways and Transportation Ms J Muller - Associate Director of Public Health, NHS Cumbria Dr D Roberts - Assistant Director – Policy and Performance Mr DM Sheard - Area Support Manager Mr J Sims - Assistant Director – People Management Ms A Smith - Strategy Officer, Adult and Local Services Mr P Woodhouse - County Manager - General Social Care Commissioning Apologies for absence were received from Mr RW Betton, Mrs EA Mallinson, Mrs V Tarbitt and Mr SF Young. 1. WELCOME AND SETTING THE SCENE

The Chair welcomed everyone to the meeting. Jamie Sims, Assistant Director – People Management then provided an overview of the seminar. 2. HIGHWAYS RESTRUCTURE CONSULTATION

Mr A Moss, Assistant Director – Highways and Transportation gave members a presentation on the consultation that was being carried out on the new highways structure. He explained that the primary reason for the restructure was the transition of Capita and Amey staff back to the County Council which could result in the duplication of posts, skills etc. He went on to outline the restructuring and service changes which would include:

Ø Working differently and flexibly Ø Reshaping approach to local committees

Agenda Item 19

Page 281

Ø Greater value for money from procurement Ø Reviewing charges

He outlined the four proposed structures as being Strategic Asset Management, Network Development, Network Management and Integrated Transport and gave a detailed explanation as to the functions of each one. Members asked how the new proposed structure would affect the support the Local Committee received and were informed that within Network Management there would be three strategic areas instead of six, one of which would cover both the Carlisle and Eden areas. Members expressed their concerns about an officer covering two areas and were assured that the Committee would still have a dedicated officer to deal with any matters. The Chair asked that he be informed the name of the officer who would deal with the matters of the Committee as soon as this information was available. During the course of discussion members emphasised that it was of the utmost importance that staff were consulted and updated on any developments taking place. They also emphasised the need to retain the excellent experienced staff which the Directorate already had in order to retain the high level of services which were currently delivered. Members then asked whether there were any future plans for the transferred ‘Claimed Rights’ staff to be located in Carlisle to which the officer replied that those staff would probably be deployed from the Dalston and Brampton sites. Finally, members were informed that the proposed effective start date for the new highways structure would be 1 June 2013. The Chair thanked Mr Moss for his presentation and asked that the Committee be kept informed of any changes affecting their area. 3. PUBLIC HEALTH

Jane Muller, Associate Director of Public Health, NHS Cumbria briefed members on the Public Health responsibilities which would be transferred to the County Council when they became part of the Authority in April 2013. She explained that Primary Care Trusts and Strategic Health Authorities would no longer exist but would be replaced by National Commissioning Boards, Clinical Commissioning Groups, Public Health in Local Authority and Public Health England and outlined what influenced health in their area. She then explained how each Directorate already contributed:

Ø Children’s Services – alcohol assertiveness and drug education and healthy weight programme for children/

Ø Adult and Local Services – core social care services, increasing sports

participation through ‘Active Cumbria’ and Mental Health Prevention

Page 282

Service and the Well Read Campaign, which gave access to self help books through the library service.

Ø Safer and Stronger Communities – community fire safety, preparation

for both environmental and human health emergencies, combating doorstep crime and controlling zoonotic diseases.

Ø Chief Executive’s Office – working to combat prejudicial incidents and

hate crime.

Ø Environment – tacking social exclusion for elderly and disabled groups through community transport schemes.

The Associate Director of Public Health then went on to discuss the new public health responsibilities and outlined initiatives in public health during 2012:

Ø commissioning of new sexual health clinics Ø commissioning suicide prevention training for groups and businesses Ø led strategy to reduce winter mortality Ø managed ‘Cough Cough’ cancer awareness campaign Ø developed county’s first workplace wellbeing charter Ø successfully lobbied for clearer food labelling Ø first health check programme Ø delivered first mass quit campaign

She went on to explain the ways of working and informed members that approximately 27 full-time public health staff would be transferring to the County Council with an annual budget of around £14.2m initially, rising to over £15m the following year. She outlined the mandatory services which were required for public health and explained a pilot project ‘Cool for Life’ which was taking place which encouraged families to attend meetings, either voluntarily or through referral from a GP etc, where children were weighed and measured with discussions taking place around healthy eating and lifestyle. She emphasised that early intervention and health checks were important to try and eliminate problems later on in life. Members were informed that the formal transfer of staff, functions and budget would take place on 2 April 2013 but that shadow working had been in place since November 2012. During discussions members were told that initially staff transferring to the County Council would become part of the Chief Executive’s Directorate. The Chair thanked Jane Muller for her informative presentation and asked that members be kept informed of any future developments regarding the transfer.

4. NEIGHBOURHOOD CARE

Andrea Smith, Strategy Officer, Adult and Local Services briefed members on Neighbourhood Care. She explained to members that the scheme was an asset based community development programme which encouraged people to remain as independent as possible in their own home for as long as was viable and that the scheme would also be extended to provide support for people 18+. She said that one of the aims of the scheme was to make fewer people feel isolated and to create more integration in community settings by encouraging more help through neighbourhoods and volunteers and that Neighbourhood Care were working in partnership with communities to increase volunteering. She explained that existing activities such as home safety checks, cold calling zones, snow champions etc were also being built upon. She went on to inform the Committee that a sum of £153,000 would be invested in the scheme in the Carlisle area. A small amount of this money would be managed by the Cumbria Community Foundation and would be available to local organisations to apply for to help provide support and training for volunteers. She explained that a procurement process had been undertaken and the outcome of the evaluation was likely to be notified in the near future with the Neighbourhood Care Programme being implemented at the beginning of April 2013. Members were then informed that a Homeshare scheme had recently been commissioned and a pilot scheme was being carried out in the Carlisle and Eden areas with the aim of the project being to bring together an older and younger person who could share skills with the possibility of sharing their home free of charge in exchange for providing support. She emphasised that careful monitoring and matching processes were in place and were being managed through Age UK. During discussion concerns were raised about volunteer services playing a major part in the scheme and asked how standards could be maintained to which the officer explained that some services, ie Age UK, already had a vast amount of volunteers but there would be an expectation that monies from grants would be used to maintain standards. In conclusion, Andrea Smith said she would keep members informed of any future developments and additional information regarding the Carlisle area. The Chair thanked the Strategy Officer, Adult and Local Services for her informative presentation and said that members would welcome any additional information when it was available. 5. WELFARE REFORM

Dawn Roberts, Assistant Director – Policy and Performance briefed members on the potential impact of Welfare Reform in their area. She informed the Committee that Local Welfare Assistance would become the responsibility of the County

Page 284

Council from April 2013 when local provisions would be put in place to provide a service. She explained that the County Council would be accountable to respond to people living with a crisis situation ie crisis loan and this would be led by Adult and Local Services with the support of 3rd sector organisations to provide additional support including signposting to areas of support to help people avoid recurrence of the same situation. She explained that the Government’s objectives were to create the right incentives to get more people into work whilst protecting the most vulnerable and delivering fairness to those claiming benefit and to the taxpayer. She went on to inform members of the main changes explaining that the Programme would be delivered over a number of years. Whilst outlining the main changes she explained that new applications would be on-line which could put additional pressure on other organisations to help people access IT. Dawn Roberts then outlined the number of working-age benefit claimants (16-64 years) and informed members that 12.5% of the working age population in Carlisle were claiming out of work benefits - this would affect just over 8,000 people in Carlisle. The changes from April 2013 were then discussed and she explained that working-age housing benefit reduction could be enforced if a home was deemed too large for the occupier’s needs. During the course of discussion members expressed their concerns regarding this emphasising that vulnerable/elderly people needed additional rooms in their homes in case they needed extra support, ie an overnight stay may be required to give support to an elderly occupant, therefore, a spare bedroom in a house would be necessary. The Assistant Director – Policy and Performance concluded by outlining the key issues for Carlisle and informed the Committee that the Council were working closely with the DWP and 3rd sector organisations to ensure plans were in place to raise awareness of the changes and how this would affect individuals. The Chair thanked the Assistant Director – Policy and Performance for her informative presentation. 6. EXTRA CARE HOUSING

Peter Woodhouse, County Manager - General Social Care Commissioning briefed members on Extra Care Housing and highlighted schemes which were currently in place in Cumbria emphasising that this housing option gave people their own independence. He explained that the schemes offered a high standard of accommodation with the same facilities and assistance as those available in a residential home. He informed members that some of the schemes were in partnership with housing associations with the option in some cases for the properties to be bought by the occupant with conditions on sale.

Page 285

He informed members that the existing Extra Care Housing schemes were proving invaluable and that additional developments within Cumbria were being investigated. In conclusion the County Manager informed the Committee that all members would receive a copy of the DVD shown at the seminar and invited them to visit existing schemes. 7. SUMMING UP AND NEXT STEPS

In conclusion the Assistant Director thanked everyone for an interesting day and for fully engaging in the seminar.

The seminar ended at 12.40 pm

57 APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE An apology for absence was received from Mr D Marcus. 58 MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING RESOLVED, that the minutes of the last meeting held on Wednesday

28 November 2012 were agreed as a true and accurate record. 59 LOCAL COMMITTEE BUDGET ALLOCATIONS 2013/14 Members considered a report from the Corporate Director – Resources and presented by the Assistant Director – Finance, which sought to advise members of the proposed revenue and capital allocation for Local Committees in 2013/14.

Agenda Item 20

She explained that total local committee allocations were considered by County Council as part of the overall budget setting process. Allocations to individual Committees were calculated based on the formula agreed by Cabinet on 3 March 2011. At the time of presenting the report details were still being finalised of the revenue settlement for individual authorities for 2013/14 although a draft budget was approved by Cabinet in December 2012 and a final budget would be proposed to Cabinet to recommend to County Council in February 2013. Cabinet had received reports at its meetings in November and December which set out the Minimum Revenue Planning Gap for 2013-14 of £18m and this was the basis of the options for budget consultation issued. The Probable Planning Gap however was not £21.6m, given the uncertainties arising from the significant changes in methodology and approach to the funding of local government by central government from 1 April 2013. The Provisional Local Government Finance Settlement was issued later than in previous years in December and the impact is an increase in the Probable Budget Planning Gap of £0.9m to £22.5m. If the Council were to accept the Council Tax Freeze Grant, however, this gap would increase by a further £2m to £24.5m. In relation to local committees the Assistant Director said Members would remember a number of changes were made to Local Committee budgets in 2011/12. Local Committees were given greater flexibility on the use of their budgets, and restrictions or the ring fencing associated with specific budget lines was removed to a certain degree. Council agreed on 16 February 2011 that Local Committee revenue budgets should include specific budgets for the following areas:

AREA USE

Highways Revenue To be used on highways activities

Neighbourhood Teams Budget for staffing, managed by the Assistant Director – Policy and Performance. Cannot be vired, but can be supplemented by other budgets.

Local Member Schemes Fully flexible. Local members to bring proposals for spending to Local Committee for decision.

General Provision Fully flexible

0-19 Services To be used in 0-19 projects and services Supporting guidance was issued.

Schools crossing patrols To be used on crossing patrols or road safety

Sandgate Hydrotherapy Pool

To be used to support the pool

Money Advice To be used on this area / contracts only.

To enable each Local Committee to manage its allocation to meet its priorities, it was proposed to increase the flexibility further and remove the ring fencing of 0-19 Services. The Highways Revenue budget areas were merged from the 2011/12 budget exercise, giving Local Committees discretion as to local priorities for spending revenue resources in line with Better Highways principles. The overriding priority was maintaining a safe and reliable highway network. This budget may only be

Page 288

spent on highways and street lighting. The methodology to allocate the highways budget between the Local Committees for 2013/14 was the same as that used in 2012/13. The consultation document for the draft revenue budget 2013/14 contained a proposal that all six of the Council’s Local Committees would see a cash reduction of 20% in relation to specific areas (0-19, general provision and school crossing patrol budget allocations). This cash reduction totalled £0.324m over the six Local Committees however, Local Committees would have the discretion to manage their budget within the new cash limit and so it is for each Local Committee to decide exactly how to support the local priorities within available budgets. The consultation document also contained a proposal in respect of Highways capital and revenue budgets where it was proposed to devolve a further £0.8m of capital funding to Local Committees from the Priority Transport Improvement Schemes (PTIS) capital highways budget, whilst at the same time the highways revenue budget for Local Committees would be reduced by £0.8m. This meant that the Local Committees would change the nature of some of the highways works they funded from maintenance, for example repair of potholes, to larger scale improvements such as resurfacing. Making use of capital funding in this way should allow available resources to be most effectively targeted to meet local highways priorities. The Neighbourhood Teams budget reflected the staffing at current levels for the teams. Overall, the teams were subject to a restructure to deliver part year savings in 2011/12, and full year savings in 2012/13. These budgets may not be vired by the Local Committees, but could be supplemented by other budgets. The General Provision could be used for any budget area including Neighbourhood Forum grants, and subsidising rents to Voluntary Organisations. This budget may be vired to support other areas. Whilst the 0-19 budget could be used to support 0-19 activities, including grants to youth organisations, but it was proposed that it may be used to support other areas. Local Committees could reduce the amount or increase the amount they spend on School Crossing Patrols, as determined by the School Crossing Patrols operational in their area and therefore any expenditure from the School Crossing Patrols allocation (once it is locally determined) must be spent either on crossing patrols or road safety The Money Advice budget reflected the recent Cabinet decision to procure for future services at the current budget level and the emphasis on the key Council priority of ensuring that the most vulnerable people in our communities received the support they needed. The 2011-12 and 2012-13 budgets included a Local Member Schemes budget. These budgets were for one year only, but it had been agreed that the resources could be spent over a period of two years and balances were carried forward. The 2012-13 allocation was funded from underspends across Council budgets in 2011-12 and was the decision of Council in February 2012. Any underspending on the 2012/13 Member schemes budget would be carried forward to 2013/14.

Page 289

The changes to both the revenue and capital allocations were equivalent, therefore for each Local Committee area the level of reduction in highways revenue funding was equally matched with the increase in highways capital funding. There was a £ for £ replacement, but the nature of the works to be undertaken would be capital. The Deputy Leader reminded everyone that it was crucial for local committees to agree their budget allocations in relation to highways as soon as practicable to allow works to be programmed. Members agreed that this should not wait until after the elections but should be agreed as soon as possible to prevent any delays in grant processes following the election. Members asked if any of the proposals would have an affect on the Better Highways Teams, and officers confirmed there should be no adverse impact on the work of the Better Highways Teams. The Chair of Barrow Local Committee felt that the formula was unfair, especially when Barrow was receiving budget reductions but had the most deprived areas of the county. He thought that budgets should be allocated on a needs basis and not on a population basis. This was debated by members, with some who felt this would be advantageous, whilst others felt the current formula used was adequate. The Deputy Leader said that this debate could only be reconsidered with the agreement of all the Chairs and Vice Chairs, and at this stage agreement could not be reached. It was suggested that this be looked at again in the near future, and that Scrutiny be invited to consider this, after the elections had taken place. RESOLVED, that the report be noted. 60 UNAUTHORISED SIGNS AND OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS SERVICE

PROCEDURE The Assistant Director – Highways and Transportation presented a report which briefed members on proposed changes to an existing highway service procedure; “Unauthorised Signs and Other Obstructions in the Highway”, and highlighted the political sensitivities of making any changes. The service procedure specifically dealt with A boards placed on pedestrian areas which had been a contentious issue with some disability groups. The changes followed an Ombudsman complaint about obstructions from A boards. The Ombudsman had recommended an increase in the absolute minimum width from 1.0m to 1.2m. The stated absolute minimum width of 1.2m would only be used in exceptional circumstances where an A board could be accommodated without impacting on pedestrians, and not in areas of high footfall. The proposed service procedure stated that a 2m width should be provided under normal circumstances to allow two wheelchairs to pass, and that as a minimum requirement 1.5m would be considered to allow a wheelchair and walkers to pass. The 1.2m width would only be used in exceptional circumstances in areas of low footfall and isolated locations and not considered suitable for town centres. The allowance of A boards had been a contentious issue with both traders (who wished to freely advertise in pedestrian areas) and disability groups (who had concerns about obstructing their passage). The issue had also raised vocal comment in the local press.

Page 290

The proposed service procedure ensured compliance with highway law and equality standards, helped control and regulate street scene “sign clutter” and provided a framework which was fair and reasonable to businesses and traders. The proposal was that only one ‘A’ board would be allowed per property regardless of how many businesses were situated within it. Members asked if the County Council licensed the A Boards, and the Assistant Director explained that the council give permission for the boards but they did not require a license. One of the members felt that in circumstances where there was a narrow lane with many premises, the shops should be able to use one board for a number of premises rather than one board each. The Assistant Director confirmed this would be possible. The Chair of South Lakeland Local Committee welcomed the policy but felt that the issue of enforcement might be challenging. With the South Lakeland area the Chamber of Trade was undertaking enforcement, but this had not been tested as there had not been any breaches of the policy yet. The Vice Chair of Allerdale Local Committee said a pilot had been carried out in Keswick and Cockermouth in relation to A Boards, which had been very successful. He suggested that the lessons learned during this pilot should be incorporated into the policy. Members felt that the policy was too detailed and a plain English version should be produced which could then be distributed to all retailers. They also suggested it would be advantageous to produce a media strategy for selling this to the media and the public. The Chair suggested that members support the recommendation that the policy be adopted, but that it would be reviewed in 12 months time to assess how successful it had been. This was AGREED. 61 HIGHWAYS RESTRUCTURE The Leader of the Council was aware that many of the Chair and Vice Chairs were concerned about the current proposals for the restructure of the Highways Service. He felt that member involvement was crucial for service delivery but the structures within the Highways Department were for the officers to decide. It was AGREED that the Chief Executive would organise a meeting for the Leader, Deputy Leader, Chairs and Vice Chairs of the local committees and the Cabinet Member for Economy and Highways to meet with relevant officers as soon as possible (Action: JS)
