37. ACTIVE NORTHUMBERLAND UPDATE

Lorraine Dewison, Chief Executive of Active Northumberland, gave a presentation to address concerns regarding the new pricing structure for Active Northumberland, provide the latest position on memberships and respond to issues raised and questions asked at the area committee meetings in November 2016. (A copy of the presentation is enclosed with the signed minutes). She explained the reasons for the standardisation of prices including their increased costs, requirement to be selffinancing and operate without a subsidy. The differences in the old pricing structure were outlined; the research that had been carried out when the charges were reviewed; and the new simple membership fees. Reference was made to the longer opening hours and investment in facilities at the existing 14 leisure centres as well as the three new centres recently announced. Whilst some memberships had been cancelled following the implementation of the new new price structure on 1 November 2016, the ‘Join for a coin’ marketing campaign was extremely successful and large numbers of new members were joining on a daily basis; 734 new members since 1 January 2017. Some members had also rejoined when they had compared prices at other facilities and realised how competitive the fee was.


Area Committee West, 10 January 20172

Several members commented on the lack of consultation and understanding prior to the implementation of the new pricing structure but were reassured following the presentation. The following issues were discussed: Leisure centres had always benefitted from subsidies; whether it would be

feasible to operate without? It was acknowledged that this would be a huge challenge and that they would need to be work smarter and be more efficient, such as using marketing campaigns not previously utilised. Not all facilities were profitable across the group but they were valued by the community that used them and were worth supporting from surpluses elsewhere. Officers were also looking at sport development to make the inactive active and take advantage of Sport England funding.

Investment in energy efficient technology to reduce costs. It was noted that new centres were more efficient and cheaper to build than the cost of making improvements to older facilities. Ground source heat pumps were being incorporated within new buildings.

A councillor made reference to the problems he had experienced regarding notification of the new prices and the large increase in costs for 1:1 swimming lessons for children with additional needs who were unable to participate in group sessions. They were now unaffordable. Lorraine Dewison made reference to the expensive training which it was necessary for the employees to undertake and regrettably they were unable to continue to provide 1:1 swimming lessons at the previous rates. She offered to work with families to see whether they would be eligible for assistance and enquired whether 2:1 lessons would be appropriate. The following questions were asked by members of the public: Where were the 3 new leisure centres going to be built? It was confirmed

that work on new facilities had commenced at Blyth, Morpeth and Berwick. The arrangements for the financing of new leisure centres. Active

Northumberland had a licence to operate the leisure centres owned by the Council and therefore both organisations worked together regarding investment in new premises.

Clarification regarding the ‘Join for a coin’ membership offer. Members signed up for 13 months membership, the first month at a reduced cost of £1.

How many new members had joined? There had been 614 new members prior to the Area Committee North meeting the previous evening and the total had increased to 734.

Would additional members provide the extra revenue to make up the subsidy shortfall? Yes, it was hoped new members would generate additional income to make the leisure centres self financing. It was also hoped that investment in new facilities and equipment would benefit residents and attract tourists, particularly during inclement weather.

RESOLVED that the information and comments made be noted.

38. BUDGET 2017/18 AND STATE OF THE AREA DEBATE Grant Davey, Leader of the Council, thanked the committee for the opportunity to attend the meeting and explained that although they were working on a two year budget, it it had been necessary to make amendments following changes required by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Steven Mason, Chief Executive, gave a detailed presentation on the background to the position faced by the Council and the budget for 2017/18. The discussion and issues raised would be fed into the 'State of the Area Debate' which was scheduled to take place in February 2017 at County Council. (A copy of the presentation is enclosed with the signed minutes). The presentation covered: the context of the budget; the split between capital and revenue; full details of the revenue budget and capital programme; treasury management and the capital programme; and core achievements and aspirations. Although the gross revenue budget was around £780 million, some of it was made up of grants that could only be spent on specific services leaving a net revenue budget of around £270 million. Information included: The National Government Funding Cut; Cumulative Pressures 201112 to 201920, How the Revenue Budget was funded, including how funding had changed

from 201112 to 201718; How the original 201718 budget compared to the updated budget; How the Medium Term Financial Plan (MTFP) 201720 compared to the

updated MTFP; Why the position had improved; Council Tax proposals; Summary of efficiencies.

The following issues were discussed: The location of recently announced multi storey car parks. Work was

underway to identify suitable locations in the towns identified and would be subject to consultation and the planning process in due course. The inclusion of Hexham was welcomed.

Exploration of investment opportunities in the west area by Arch. The Leader explained the background of Arch by the former Wansbeck District Council and made reference to the process for the development of projects which commenced at a local level and brought to Arch who assessed viability. There was concern that rural parts of the county were



10

neglected when compared with the investment in urban areas. This was disputed by the Leader.

The transfer of assets and responsibilities from the county council to town and parish councils. Concern was expressed regarding the additional requirements placed on parish and town councils in recent years, such as making arrangements for additional grass cuts due to a lower number being provided by the county council. The Chief Executive highlighted the changes to funding implemented by the Conservative government in recent years which disadvantaged rural authorities where the costs of providing services, such as household waste collection, were much higher than urban areas. He referred to the arrangements that had been made with a number of town and parish councils for an enhanced grass cutting service to provide additional cuts and the discussions which were being held with businesses regarding availability of their toilets for public use. He appealed to Councillors with contacts in government to highlight the problems of funding in Northumberland.

The Council’s Treasury Management policy and decision to build the new council headquarters had both been scrutinised by EY, the Council’s auditors; and had been found to provide value for money.

The Council did not have a large business rate base unlike neighbouring authorities and would struggle to be self financing under new proposals for local government in 2020. There was also a large number of outstanding business rate appeals with a considerable financial impact, if upheld.

The current situation regarding high school provision and condition of school buildings in the west area, was of concern. The Leader reported that the Council’s proposals to improve provision in the area had been rejected by the Education Minister. The Regional Schools Commissioner was considering the appointment of an interim Executive Body for Haydon Bridge High School and notification was expected in the near future. The ViceChair of Haydon Bridge Parish Council was pleased to learn that the school would not be closed as this would have had a detrimental impact on the area and viability of shops, as the school was the largest employer. Concerns had been expressed whether Bright Tribe was the right sponsor for the school but the Leader confirmed that the decision regarding the appointment of a sponsor would be made by the Secretary of State. The Chief Executive stated that the Council had been considering options for education in the west area given that Haydon Bridge High School had been placed in special measures; the condition of buildings; and decreasing numbers of children projected to require school places and continued viability of 2 high schools. Pat Hurst, governor of the school expressed her anger regarding the situation which had culminated over a number of years and for which she held the local authority responsible. The Chief Executive explained that the Council had limited powers of intervention with schools, particularly when they were an academy and run by a board of governors. The delays in recent years had been as a result of concerns expressed by Bright Tribe regarding the financial position of the school. The Council intended to continue to work with the school to make improvements.



11

The maintenance budget for highways needed to be increased to reverse the cumulative effect of reductions over previous years; ditches and drains need to be reinstated to remove water from road surfaces as the repair of potholes was a temporary fix. The Leader reported that the highways budget had been significantly increased resulting in improvements to many miles of road and complaints were often received regarding private roads not under the Council's’ jurisdiction.

The arrangements for, and cost of borrowing, by the Council. The Chief Executive provided a brief explanation of the Council's’ practice regarding new loans. A significant increase in interest rates was not anticipated. The Council could not continue to provide the same level of services when 50% of its funding had been cut over a 10 year period.

The Chair of Corbridge Parish Council confirmed that they had planned a series of precept increases over a period of a few years in order that they could make arrangements for an enhanced service from local services.

Toilet facilities were a discretionary service. The proportion of spending per capita in different areas. The Chief

Executive explained that they did not have the resource to provide this information. He made reference to the referendum which had asked residents for their preference whether there should have been one or two authorities in Northumberland; 2 councils would not have been financially viable. He made reference to the analysis undertaken regarding the cost of waste collection, which was higher in rural areas as was the cost of school transport provision.

A member of the public expressed his concern regarding the lack of investment in infrastructure in Hexham despite a number of major developments in the town. He requested that Hexham be developed as a market town and was pleased to learn of initiatives such as Hexham House and hoped that improvements could be made to make the county better for everyone. The Leader made reference to the new council headquarters and investments in market towns.

The Chair thanked the Leader and Chief Executive for the presentation and information provided which had been enlightening. RESOLVED that the comments be forwarded to the State of the Area Debate following Budget Council.

39. TALL SHIPS DEBRIEF Nigel Walsh, Service Manager for Culture, Heritage and Libraries gave a presentation which demonstrated the benefits to Northumberland as a result of hosting the Tall Ships event in Blyth in August 2016. (A copy of the presentation is enclosed with the signed minutes). He outlined the mission, aims and outcomes of the event which had now been analysed and had exceeded all targets. This included: visitor attendance;



12

economic impact; skills gained by trainees and volunteers; and profile of the county. The committee were shown a short video which highlighted different aspects of the event and extracts of interviews with visitors and trainees. He was extremely pleased to report that a high percentage of visitors intended to visit Northumberland again. Members of the public and councillors were thanked for their support which had contributed to the success of the event. The Chair and members of the committee congratulated Nigel Walsh and all those involved in the event. The television coverage had been excellent and had been seen worldwide. In answer to an issue raised regarding feedback to sponsors, the Service Manager explained that a number of functions had been held afterwards; one of which had provided Councillors an opportunity to meet with the trainees they had sponsored. It was noted that where a local trainee had not been identified, the funding had assisted individuals who had applied from other areas and unfortunately feedback had not been received. Eileen Charlton, Vice Chair of Haydon Bridge Parish Council made reference to the successful past events in the county and the initiative started by Langley Castle for a ‘Northumberland Day’ to be held on a an annual basis. The Service Manager confirmed that the Council and other organisations, such as Northumberland Tourism, were involved. RESOLVED that the presentation be received.

WEST AREA COMMITTEE REPORT DATE: 14 MARCH 2016 Report of the Head of Technical Services Local Services Cabinet Member: Ian Swithenbank Draft Local Transport Plan Programme 201718 Purpose of Report . This report sets out the detail of the draft Local Transport Plan (LTP) Programme for 201718. Recommendations Members are asked to comment on the proposals, so that their comments can be considered in the final LTP Programme for 201718. Key issues 1) A £19.579m Local Transport Plan Programme has been developed for

201718, consisting of Integrated Transport and Maintenance Schemes. 2) Funding for the proposed programme is made up of a combination of

allocations from Local Transport Capital Block funding (£18.509m) and the new National Productivity Investment funding (£1.070m).

3) The Local Transport Capital Block funding for 2017/18 has been assumed at

£18.509m. Part of the allocation for the Highways Maintenance element of the LTP Programme now includes a contribution from the Highways Maintenance Incentive Fund. The capital funding allocation has conservatively assumed a Highways Maintenance Incentive Fund at Band 2, as for 2016/17. However, the Council has submitted its self assessment for 2017/18 as being Band 3 due to further improvements that have been delivered in its approach to highways maintenance. If the Band 3 assessment is confirmed, an additional £145k of funding would be available for the programme. Confirmation of the Highways Maintenance Incentive Fund element from the Department of Transport (DfT) is expected by the end of March 2017.

4) The National Productivity Investment Fund is new funding for 2017/18 to

improve local road networks and public transport. £8.9m of this funding has been allocated to the North East Combined Authority (NECA). As yet it has not

15

been determined how this funding will be allocated to the individual NECA authorities, however it is anticipated that Northumberland will receive between £1m and £2.5m.

5) Appendix A to H sets out the detail of the draft LTP Programme for 201718. 6) In addition to the above the County Council is also to receive £1.328m of

capital pothole fund grant for 201718. This funding will be utilised separately to the main LTP programme to undertake a programme of structural patching and small scale resurfacing across the county.

7) County Council Members and Town/Parish Councils have been consulted in the development of the proposed LTP Programme 201718, as part of the prioritisation process.

8) Capital Works Programme Cabinet Advisory Group, at their meeting on 16

February 2017, agreed to recommend approval of the draft Local Transport Plan Programme for 201718 to Cabinet.

9) Amendments of the programme that may need to be made as a result of this

consultation with Area Committees (or due to the level of National Productivity Investment Fund received) are delegated to the Director of Local Services and Housing in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Local Services.

Draft Local Transport Plan Programme 201718 BACKGROUND 1. This report sets out the detail for the draft LTP Programme 201718.

Appendices A to H contain the proposed schemes. 2. A £19.579m Local Transport Plan Programme has been developed for

201718, consisting of Integrated Transport and Maintenance Schemes. 3. Funding for the proposed programme is made up of a combination of

allocations from Local Transport Capital Block funding (£18.509m) and the new National Productivity Investment funding (£1.070m).

4. The Local Transport Capital Block funding for 201718 has been assumed at

£18.509m. Part of the allocation for the Highways Maintenance element of the LTP Programme now includes a contribution from the Highways Maintenance Incentive Fund. The capital funding allocation has conservatively assumed a Highways Maintenance Incentive Fund at Band 2, as for 201617. Should a Band 3 assessment be confirmed an additional £145k of funding would be available for the programme. Confirmation of the Highways Maintenance Incentive Fund element from the Department of Transport (DfT) is expected by the end of March 2017.

5. The National Productivity Investment Fund is new funding for 201718 to

improve local road networks and public transport. £8.9m of this funding has been allocated to the North East Combined Authority (NECA). As yet it has not been determined how this funding will be allocated to the individual NECA authorities, however it is anticipated that Northumberland will receive between £1m and £2.5m.

6. The summary of proposed expenditure in 201718 across scheme types is

as follows:

Minor Improvements £2,250,000

Safety Schemes £1,020,000

Principal Road and Footway Maintenance £1,940,000

Non Principal Road and Footway Maintenance £5,094,000

Surface Treatment Programme £2,485,000

17

General/Structural Refurbishment Work £3,075,000

Structures Programme £2,390,000

Landslips Programme £1,025,000

Public Rights of Way Improvements £300,000

Total £19,579,000 7. Note that schemes within the programme are packaged together wherever

possible, for instance, when Minor Improvement town centre works are implemented they will include maintenance repairs, as appropriate. Similarly, when a Road Maintenance scheme is implemented the ‘package’ will include updating traffic calming features, as appropriate.

8. Priorities across the LTP Programme are assessed through an annual

review, which includes consultation with County Council Members and Town/Parish Councils. The assessment process involves scoring priority issues against LTP and Transport Asset Management Plan (TAMP) criteria.

9. A brief description of the types of highways and transport issues addressed

by the LTP Programme is set out below. Minor Improvements/Safety Schemes 10. The Minor Improvement Programme is aimed at creating improvements for

users of the highway network. The allocations are split between different types of proposals aimed at making improvements for pedestrians and cyclists, public transport passengers and road users. The improvements are designed to meet new and increasing demands.

11. A specific allocation is aimed at reducing the number and severity of road

traffic casualties, through a programme of local safety schemes. Another sum is provided to improve traffic management and to create safer conditions where road safety concerns have been identified.

12. Priority for Minor Improvements is given to schemes that contribute to the achievement of LTP objectives. The objectives reflect local needs and are related to national transport goals. The goals are: to support economic growth; to reduce carbon emissions; to promote equality of opportunity; to contribute to better safety, security and health; and, to improve the quality of life and a healthy natural environment.

13. Requests for improvements (and maintenance) are contained in the

18

Directory of Requests Database and this provides a starting point for considering schemes for inclusion in the programme. County Council Members and Town/Parish Councils are provided with details of requests made from their own areas when asked to consider their priority highways and transport issues.

14. The detail of the draft proposals for Minor Improvements and Safety

Schemes for 201718, is set out in Appendices A1 and A2 to this report. It includes improvements to pedestrian crossing facilities in a number of locations including Bedlington, Mickley, Allendale, Newbiggin, Hexham and Ashington and improved footways and cycleways in Cresswell, Riding Mill, Cramlington and alongside the Aln Valley rail line. Improvements to car parking provision includes measures in Berwick, Ponteland, Seahouses, Morpeth and Amble. In Bamburgh, streetscape improvements are planned to complement the traffic reduction measures, road maintenance and increased number of spaces provided in the Council’s car park implemented during 201617. The programme will also address junction improvements in Cramlington and East Hartford, together with traffic management issues on Holy Island and in Blyth and Warkworth. Safety on rural roads continues to be an issue and £130k is proposed to be spent on remedial measures with an additional £110k specifically for safety issues on the A697. With regards to safety on the streets near to schools, £350k is proposed to be spent on reducing speed limits to 20 mph across the county.

15. It should be noted that in some cases the budget allocations contained in the Appendices to this report are estimates only. At this stage it is the issue or problem that has been prioritised for inclusion in the programme and the design process will provide options for finding a solution. The assessment of options will take account of a number of factors including value for money and affordability. Costs will be firmed up as the proposals proceed through the design process. It should also be noted that any schemes from the 201617 programme which are not completed by the end of the financial year will continue to implementation in 201718.

Highways Maintenance 16. The Highways Maintenance Programme is split between different types of

proposals aimed at maintaining the highway network to the standards set out in the Council’s Transport Asset Management Plan (TAMP). Funds are allocated across the programme by applying a scoring process that has been developed to deliver TAMP objectives and that also includes an element to recognise local priorities identified by County/Town/Parish Councillors.

17. Whilst the majority of the road maintenance programme is aimed at

addressing the structural decline of roads, provision has also been made for footways, car parks, public rights of way, signs, lines and drainage. The allocation for Principal and Non Principal Roads Maintenance Programmes is

19

focused on the parts that are shown to be in the greatest need, which is determined by maintenance condition, highway safety, network performance and sustainability.

18. In bridge maintenance, addressing the backlog in the Bridge Strengthening

Programme remains a priority. The 3year Masonry Arch Refurbishment Programme funded separately and now entering its final year, will continue to be delivered alongside the LTP programme. There is also a continuing commitment to the Assessment and Interim Measures Strengthening Programme to analyse and strengthen weak bridges .

19. There is sufficient allocation in the Landslips Programme to enable

embankment stabilisation at six locations including A689 Slaggyford Caravan Park and A686 Cupula Bends.

20. Various improvements are proposed on the Public Rights of Way network at

locations across the county including in Blyth, Corbridge and Ponteland. 21. The detail of the draft Highways Maintenance Programme for 201718 is set

out in Appendices B to H, attached to this report. Capital Works Programme Cabinet Advisory Group Recommendation 22. Capital Works Programme Cabinet Advisory Group, at their meeting on 16

February 2017, agreed to recommend approval of the draft Local Transport Plan Programme for 201718 to Cabinet.

23. Amendments of the programme that may need to be made as a result of this

consultation with Area Committees (or due to the level of National Productivity Investment Fund received) are delegated to the Director of Local Services and Housing in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Local Services.
