Budget Monitoring - Month 6 pdf icon PDF 224 KB

Report of the County Treasurer (CT/20/84) reporting on the budget monitoring position at month 6, attached.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

(Councillors Connett, Dewhirst, and Hannaford attended remotely in accordance with Standing Order 25(2) and the Local Authorities and Police and Crime Panels (Coronavirus) (Flexibility of Local Authority and Police and Crime Panel Meetings) (England and Wales) Regulations 2020 and spoke to this item).

 

The Cabinet considered the Report of the County Treasurer (CT/20/84) on the month 6 budget monitoring position, circulated prior to the meeting in accordance with regulation 7(4) of the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012.

 

The Report outlined that at month 6 it was estimated that budgets would overspend by £2.7millions, a reduction of £1.8 millions from the month 4 forecast of £4.5 millions.  If the overspending materialised, it would be accommodated by not making the full 2020/21 planned contribution to reserves. 

 

The Dedicated Schools Grant funding shortfall, relating to Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), was forecast to be £27.8 millions.  In line with guidance from the Department of Education this would not be dealt with in the current financial year but carried forward to future years.

 

Government had put in place a number of grant funding streams to help support Local Authorities with Covid 19. The most recent was confirmation of a fourth tranche of the Local Authority Support Grant. Totalling £919 millions nationally, the Council had received just under £2.1 millions which was considerably less than anticipated.  This grant was fully explained in section 8.3 of the Report and Cabinet noted that in total the Council had received £43.5 millions.

 

For service areas, the Cabinet noted that Adult Care and Health Services were forecast to overspend by £2.3 millions, a reduction of £600,000 from month 4 and Children’s Services were forecasting an overspend of £3.1 millions (the figure did not include the projected shortfall of £27.8 millions on Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND)).

 

Highways, Infrastructure Development and Waste were forecasting a breakeven position, a reduction of £500,000 from month 4 and Communities, Public Health, Environment and Prosperity (COPHEP) an underspend of just under £1.7 millions.

 

Corporate Services were showing a projected overspend of £446,000, a reduction of £579,000 from month 4.

 

The approved capital programme was £186.1 millions and the year-end forecast was £162.0 millions, producing forecast slippage of £24.1 millions, in the main attributed to variations and programme delays in Highways, Planning and Transportation (£17.0 millions net slippage) reflecting the complexity of the major schemes.

 

Corporate debt stood at £7.9 millions, being 4.6% of the annual value of invoices, against the annual target of 1.9%. The balance of debt owed would continue to be pursued with the use of legal action where appropriate to do so, but the Leader explained that some pursuit actions had been halted due to the pandemic.

 

In summary, the level of uncertainty and pressure being faced by the public sector was unprecedented.  Whilst the projected forecast of breakeven was welcomed there remained significant far reaching risks associated with the impact of the pandemic, which could be financially destabilising.

Resource & Waste Management Strategy for Devon and Torbay pdf icon PDF 237 KB

Report of the Chief Officer for Highways, Infrastructure Development and Waste (HIW/20/37) seeking approval of the Resource & Waste Management Strategy for Devon and Torbay, attached.

 

An Impact Assessment is also attached for the attention of Members at this meeting.

 

The draft Strategy is available from the agenda page for this meeting as an additional document, and can also be found as Appendix I to report HIW/20/34 at https://democracy.devon.gov.uk/documents/s32889/HIW-20-34.pdf.

Minutes:

(Councillors Biederman, Connett, Dewhirst and Hannaford attended remotely in accordance with Standing Order 25(2) and the Local Authorities and Police and Crime Panels (Coronavirus) (Flexibility of Local Authority and Police and Crime Panel Meetings) (England and Wales) Regulations 2020 and spoke to this item).

 

The Cabinet considered the Report of the Chief Officer for Highways, Infrastructure Development and Waste (HIW/20/37) seeking approval of the Resource & Waste Management Strategy for Devon and Torbay. The Report had been circulated prior to the meeting in accordance with regulation 7(4) of the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012.

 

The Report described how Devon Local Authorities and Torbay would manage Local Authority Collected Waste (household waste, litter, flytipped, street sweepings and some trade) from 2020-2030. The delivery of the Strategy would be overseen by the Devon Authorities Strategic Waste Committee. Whilst Torbay were party to the Strategy, as a Unitary Authority they would also have their own.

 

Following its approval at the Devon Authorities Strategic Waste Committee (DASWC) meeting on 15th October 2020 the draft Strategy required the approval of the individual local authorities for proceeding to public consultation before returning to Cabinet in 2021 for final approval.

 

Waste Prevention and Reuse were critically important areas of the Strategy. Less waste meant that the costs of collection and recycling/disposal were reduced along with a reduced carbon footprint. The key targets for each were highlighted in the Report including Carbon targets and how the Strategy contributed to a net zero carbon for Devon and Torbay by 2050 at the latest, recycling targets including recycling at least 60% of household waste by 2025 and 65% by 2035 and other actions such as continuing to support Don’t let Devon go to Waste and Recycle Devon.

 

The Chief Officer’s Report incorporated an Impact Assessment for the attention of Members at the meeting. This highlighted that the focus of the draft Strategy meant positive impacts on the environment, including a reduction in greenhouse gases. There was also potential for improved social cohesion, skills development and resilience, via community engagement (e.g. repair cafes). The Strategy would also align with the Circular Economy and Green Recovery plans so a potential for new jobs due to the need to increase reuse and recycling and enable businesses to recycle more. When implementing campaigns and any changes to services, Local Authorities would ensure information was written in plain English and available in a variety of formats and languages where appropriate so they were accessible to all.

 

The matter having been debated and the options and/or alternatives and other relevant factors (e.g. financial, sustainability (including carbon impact), risk management, equality and legal considerations and public health impact) set out in the Chief Officer’s Report and/or referred to above having been considered:

 

it was MOVED by Councillor Davis, SECONDED by Councillor Hart, and

 

RESOLVED that

 

(a) the draft Resource and Waste Management Strategy for Devon and Torbay be approved for consultation; and

 

(b) delegated authority be given to the Chief Officer  ...  view the full minutes text for item 577.

Household Waste Recycling Centres Improvement Strategy pdf icon PDF 352 KB

Report of the Chief Officer for Highways, Infrastructure Development and Waste (HIW/20/38) on the Household Waste Recycling Centres Improvement Strategy, attached.

 

An Impact Assessment is also attached for the attention of Members at this meeting.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

(Councillors Biederman, Connett, Dewhirst and Hannaford attended remotely in accordance with Standing Order 25(2) and the Local Authorities and Police and Crime Panels (Coronavirus) (Flexibility of Local Authority and Police and Crime Panel Meetings) (England and Wales) Regulations 2020 and spoke to this item).

 

The Cabinet considered the Report of the Chief Officer for Highways, Infrastructure Development and Waste (HIW/20/38) on the Household Waste Recycling Centres Improvement Strategy, circulated prior to the meeting in accordance with regulation 7(4) of the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012.

 

The Report outlined a Strategy to ensure that the Council’s network of Household Waste Recycling Centres could continue to be significantly improved, with several older sites being replaced over the next 10 – 15 years, should funding become available. The issues with some sites were illustrated in the Appendix to the Report, but included matters such as sites having to temporarily close to allow waste to be safely loaded and transported, vehicles regularly queuing on the public highway, restricted layouts, access issues, health and safety concerns, pedestrian conflict with vehicles and increased public demand.

 

The proposals to replace where possible would ensure that the standards of the service continued to develop in line with health and safety requirements and the public’s demands and expectations, thereby offering a network of modern, attractive, safe sites.

 

The sites requiring improvement were outlined in full as follows;

 

·         Tavistock -provision of new site

·         Newton Abbot - provision of new site

·         Cullompton, Tiverton and Willand area - provision of a combined new site

·         Honiton - provision of new site

·         Kingsbridge, Totnes, Dartmouth - provision of combined new site

·         Barnstaple - provision of new site

 

The Report sought approval to submit a planning application to develop a new facility at Tavistock and sought funding for £4.9m from the Corporate Capital programme. The existing facility at Crowndale was developed adjacent to the old landfill site which closed over 30 years ago. The site was physically constrained, there had been significant queuing problems on the public highway raising safety concerns and complaints. The proposed new facility would be on the adjacent inert landfill site, which was mostly within the Council’s ownership.

 

The Report finally proposed the development and implementation of a van permit system for Household Waste Recycling Centre access to help reduce the potential of trade waste abuse at sites. Permits would only be issued to vans registered to individual residents and not to vehicles registered to companies/businesses.

 

In progressing this particular scheme/proposal, the Chief Officer’s Report incorporated an Impact Assessment for the attention of Members at the meeting. Equality considerations only applied to the proposals surrounding the provision of new and maintenance of Household Waste Recycling Centres (public facilities). Modern designs would allow easy access for all site users and eliminate the need to use steps to access containers at these new sites. Disabled parking and welfare facilities would be provided at new sites. Overall, the provision of modern facilities would benefit all site  ...  view the full minutes text for item 578.

Report of the Head of Planning, Transportation and Environment (PTE/20/36) seeking approval of the Exeter Transport Strategy, attached.

 

Cabinet is also asked to note that the Corporate Infrastructure and Regulatory Services Scrutiny Committee at its meeting on 24 June 2020, had considered the Notes of the Standing Overview Group on the draft Exeter Transport Strategy (the Standing Overview Group met on 18 June 2020 (Minute *182 refers).

 

The Group had broadly supported the recommendations of the Strategy, but added a number of additional comments for presentation to Cabinet and RESOLVED that the Standing Overview Group’s recommendations be commended to the Cabinet.

 

Paragraph 6 of the Report outlines the recommendations and confirms that the points raised have been incorporated into an updated strategy and a 5-year action plan contained in Appendix II.

The Cabinet considered the Report of the Head of Planning Transportation and Environment (PTE/20/36) seeking approval of the Exeter Transport Strategy, circulated prior to the meeting in accordance with regulation 7(4) of the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012.

 

Cabinet also noted that the Corporate Infrastructure and Regulatory Services Scrutiny Committee at its meeting on 24 June 2020, had considered the notes of the Standing Overview Group on the draft Exeter Transport Strategy (the Standing Overview Group had met on 18 June 2020 (Minute *182 refers).

 

The Group had broadly supported the recommendations of the Strategy, but added a number of additional comments for presentation to Cabinet.

 

Paragraph 6 of the Report outlined those recommendations and confirmed that the points raised by Scrutiny had been incorporated into the updated Strategy and a 5-year action plan contained in Appendix II.

 

This Report included a summary of the work undertaken to date including the draft transport strategy, public consultation responses and changes since the consultation and the Council’s declaration of a climate emergency. 

 

The Exeter Transport Strategy focused on improving travel choices, creating better places for people and taking advantage of technology opportunities to influence travel behaviour in a positive way.  This included addressing constraints on sustainable transport networks to provide the basis of a connected city region, deliver interventions that contributed to improved quality of life and utilise technological advancements to integrate services and engage with people to influence how and when they travelled.  The proposals were embodied in 3 key themes of Greater Connectivity (which focused on travel into the city from outside Exeter’s boundaries and enhancements to key transport corridors in the travel to work area), Greater Places for People (related to travel within the city, focusing on increasing the number of trips made on foot or by bike and urban bus corridors) and Greater Innovation (working with private sector partners to test and implement innovative technology solutions to make travel easier, encourage mode shift and help  transport networks operate more flexibly and efficiently). 

 

The Head of Service for Planning, Transportation and Environment also agreed to amend the Strategy to reflect some of the issues presented in the South West Exeter area, as outlined by Members speaking under Standing Order 25(2).

 

The ten-year Strategy set a direction of travel, and further detail on the type and location of certain interventions were provided in a 5-year action plan.

 

The Strategy would be delivered from a number of funding sources, including LTP integrated block, developer/Community Infrastructure Levy contributions and external grant funding.  The speed of delivery was dependent on funding.

 

The Report also presented the Exeter Transport Strategy consultation which received more than 1,100 public responses as well as  ...  view the full minutes text for item 579.

Childcare Sufficiency Assessment Report pdf icon PDF 171 KB

Report of the Head of Education and Learning (CS/20/17), presenting the Annual Childcare Sufficiency Report, attached.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

(Councillors Biederman, Connett, Dewhirst and Hannaford attended remotely in accordance with Standing Order 25(2) and the Local Authorities and Police and Crime Panels (Coronavirus) (Flexibility of Local Authority and Police and Crime Panel Meetings) (England and Wales) Regulations 2020 and spoke to this item).

 

The Cabinet considered the Report of the Head of Education and Learning (CS/20/17), presenting the Annual Childcare Sufficiency Report, circulated prior to the meeting in accordance with regulation 7(4) of the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012.

 

The Authority had a statutory duty to secure sufficient, accessible, affordable, high quality early years and childcare places and Sufficiency was met through a variety of providers that included all types of schools, pre-schools, day nurseries, holiday clubs, breakfast clubs, after school clubs, childminders, etc. 

 

The Early Education and Childcare: Statutory Guidance for Local Authorities, set out that the Authority should report annually on how they were meeting their duty. This was the eighth Childcare Sufficiency Assessment Annual report.

 

The Childcare Sufficiency Annual Report 2019/20 (Appendix 1), encapsulated key findings from data from 1 April 2019 to 31 August 2020 and actions for the Early Years and Childcare Service for 2020/21. The Report also included data and observations collected from 1 April to 31 August 2020 at the height of restrictions enforced on the childcare sector as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. 

 

The data analysis indicated that overall, there was sufficient early years and childcare provision within Devon. Although the rural/urban spread of different types of provision varied, Childcare Sufficiency Hot Spots had been identified. However, there continued to be increased and improved communication with providers through social media platforms.

 

In terms of proposals for next year, the Early Years and Childcare Service proposed to change the reporting period to the academic year (September 2020 to August 2021), introduce a new termly survey of providers to ensure the service had regular, up to date information on the supply of childcare and introduce a new termly survey of parents to capture demand as parents’ circumstances changed.

 

A number of actions arose from the report which were outlined in full in paragraph 6.1. These included continuing to assess sufficiency and identify hot spots and support providers to open or expand their businesses where appropriate. It also included carrying out a termly survey of providers, to continue the data review of out of school provision, support providers through Early Years ONE Devon to become good or outstanding and work with providers to build greater flexibility and affordability. Parents would be surveyed to gain a greater insight into the demand for childcare where there was insufficient provision and the use of data from the Council’s Economy team to help inform demand for childcare as working patterns changed. Other actions included promoting the ‘unable to find childcare form’ to parents as a way of feeding back to the Council, promotion of childminding as a career, work with the School Place Planning Team, review the Golden Ticket process  ...  view the full minutes text for item 580.

Notice(s) of Motion pdf icon PDF 271 KB

The following Notices of Motion submitted to the County have been referred to the Cabinet in accordance with Standing Order 8(2) for consideration, to refer it to another Committee or make a recommendation back to the Council:

Additional documents:

Minutes:

(a) Food Justice (Councillor Aves)

 

(Councillor Aves attended in accordance with Standing Order 8 and Councillors Ackland, Biederman and Dewhirst attended in accordance with 25(2) and spoke to this item).

 

This Council notes:

 

That Trussell Trust research shows three million children in the UK are at risk of hunger during the school holidays.

 

The Trussell Trust anticipates that ending furlough in October would trigger a rise in foodbank use of at least 61%.

 

Foodbank use has already dramatically increased. The Independent Food Aid Network recorded a 59% increase in demand for emergency food support between February and March 2020.

 

The Covid-19 emergency has exposed major health inequalities across the country with children and families suffering disproportionately.

 

Between March and August 2020 there has already been a 115% increase in Universal Credit claimants nationally and in Devon even greater, 165% for all claimants and 173% for 16-24 year olds.

 

That Government has committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, which have an international and domestic commitment to ending hunger by 2030.

 

That Government has asked Henry Dimbleby to lead on producing a National Food Strategy.

 

This Council believes:

 

No one in the UK should go hungry, not least children.

 

Food justice is about taking action on the causes of hunger such as affordability and availability of good nutritious food. That the stopping of furlough payments will lead to further unemployment and more food poverty as a result.

 

Local councils, schools and communities play a key role in supporting those that are experiencing food poverty during the Covid-19 pandemic and that should be recognised.

 

The Council resolves to:

 

1. Nominate an existing cabinet member to take on responsibility for Food Justice.

 

2. Commit to setting up a food partnership to work with district councils and other partners to develop a Food Action Plan.

 

3. Re-double its efforts to increase Free School Meal sign ups to ensure that all those who are entitled to them or need them, receive them.

 

4. Encourage Scrutiny to look at the extent of food poverty map it and understand what is going on across the County.

 

5. Write in association with Devon MPs, to encourage Government to:

 

a) commit to legislate the existing commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals to end hunger by 2030;

 

b) commit funding in the next spending review for the five Sustain policies to protect children's health and increase access to nutritious food that is culturally appropriate, because the National Food Strategy will take a year to be adopted;

 

c) support our local food production and suppliers, our farming and fishing industries in Devon, to protect workers jobs so that our food supplies are sustained throughout the pandemic and any shortages or delays experienced during the EU Brexit;

 

d) increase Universal Credit so people can buy enough food;

 

e) immediately act to help those most affected. 

 

Members considered the Officer’s factual briefing note on the matter (CSO/20/16) which referred to food insecurity being a wide-ranging issue, covering affordability, accessibility and quality  ...  view the full minutes text for item 581.
