To answer questions asked by members of the public. The constitution requires that questions are received three working days before the meeting (deadline 4.00pm on Monday, 21 February 2011.

QUESTION 1

The following question has been received from Mr Albert Weager, 41 Coalway Road, Coleford, Glos  GL16 7HQ.

‘ As from April 2011 the Concessionary fares scheme will be administered by the County Council. The present proposals, if unamended, will promote inequalities to the detriment of Forest travellers.  Will the Forest of Dean District Council fully support efforts being made to minimise these detrimental effects?’                

Response from the Cabinet Member for Efficient Council and Finance, Councillor Brian Robinson 

I can confirm that responsibility for the Concessionary Fare scheme is transferring to the County Council from 1 Apr 11.  Thus, we will no longer be a Transport Authority from that date.  Nevertheless, we will continue to work closely with the County Council to explore the possibility of securing exemptions to allow concessionary travel in those parts of the District in which the only public transport is during a peak period.  In addition we will continue to work with the Community and Voluntary Sector transport providers in the District  to see what scope there may be to enhance provision.

Supplementary question

The questioner asked if the council would support initiatives to ensure bus pass access to schemes such as dial-a-ride.

Response from the Cabinet Member for Efficient Council and Finance, Councillor Brian Robinson 

Cllr Robinson repeated that the council was no longer a transport authority and so could not arrange such initiatives. However it would be encouraging the county council and transport providers to work out solutions to the best advantage of local residents.

Question 2

The following questions have been received from the Forest Youth Forum

Question asked by Callum West

With the proposed 51% cut in funding, what are your expectations of the Forest Youth Forum for the next financial year and how will you ensure that the views of young people are gathered and listened to?

Response from the Cabinet Member for Community, Councillor Denis Riley

Firstly I should like to say that we have not enjoyed making proposals for reductions and it was extremely difficult to decide where they should fall; there are numerous worthy organisations that have a strong case for support.

In delivering other savings we plan to restructure our staff and create a new Community Engagement Team – this new team will comprise a Community Engagement Manager and 3 Community Engagement Officers.  These new posts will be funded by post reductions elsewhere.  The manager will also be responsible for our Street Warden team. 

Relevant Members of the newly elected council will need to work with the Community Engagement Manager not only to review the overall way in whichwe provide funding to the voluntary sector in future but also in seeking to minimise the impact of the reductions we are having to make now. 

If this proposal is approved we will immediately set up a meeting with the Forest Youth Forum to discuss how we can continue to work together to achieve the best effect with the resource available.

John Evans, Independent Remuneration Panel Chairman, to present report LD.312 relating to Councillor Allowances for 2010/11.

John Evans, chairman of the Independent Remuneration Panel (IRP), began by welcoming David Rees, who had just joined the IRP and had already brought excellent insights from his experience. He then presented report LD.312, reminding members that it had taken some time to bring member allowances up to a reasonable level. He completely understood the freezes agreed over the past two years, which had meant that in all member allowances had risen by just 70 pence per week over a three-year period, whereas fuel costs alone had risen by 30 pence per litre over the same period. The job of all IRPs was to make sure that no one was out of pocket as a result of being a councillor and that councils could attract and retain councillors, who had massive roles and responsibilities.

However the IRP had taken soundings and decided to recommend that the basic allowance remain unchanged. The IRP applauded the work and recommendations of the council’s ICT task group, which had undertaken an in-depth review. In other councils auditors had identified councillors’ ICT as an area of concern, because equipment and connections could be used for personal use. Many of those councils would have sorted out the anomaly by including an element for ICT allowance in the basic allowance. It was widely assumed that ICT was part of our everyday communication and living arrangements. All councils were currently considering the issue, so there was no historical data for comparison. The IRP was recommending that £150 per year be included as part of the basic allowance, so there would be no increase in the overall financial support given to members. The IRP would report back when more comparative information became available. He ended by stating that if councillors agreed the recommendation, the current budget assumed no increase at all in councillor allowances, so there would be an additional cost of £9940 per year.

Cllr Robinson thanked John Evans and the IRP for a thoughtful report. However he believed that the council faced exceptional circumstances and elsewhere in the budget it was asking for reductions. When the views of the community were taken, it was clear that councillors should bear part of the burden of the savings.

Cllr Robinson proposed and Cllr Edwards seconded the following amendment to recommendation a) in report LD.312.

a) that the basic allowance paid to councillors remain at £4100 to include an element relating to ICT.

Cllr Hogan pointed out that under the original recommendation councillors with a special responsibility allowance (SRA) would gain more, since SRAs were based on multiples of the basic allowance. He was also concerned for new councillors, who would need to go out and purchase their own equipment and arrange broadband. If the council accepted Cllr Robinson’s amendment, it would have to consider how to support new members. Many people would be disempowered, as they did not have Internet access at home and currently relied on libraries for access, which were under threat.

Cllr Horne suggested that the  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7.

Councillor Brian Robinson, Cabinet Member for an Efficient Council and Finance, to present the council’s Treasury Management Strategy 2011/2012, as detailed in report F.106 and agreed at the Cabinet meeting on 10 February 2011.

Members are asked to adopt :-

(a)   The Treasury Management Strategy for 2011/2012 to 2013/2014 contained in Annex B.

(b)   The prudential and treasury indicators and limits for 2011/2012 to 2013/2014 contained in Annexes A, B and B2.

(c)   The Minimum Revenue Provision (MRP) statement at paragraph 14 of Annex A of this report, which sets out the Council’s policy on MRP.

(d)   The Authorised Limit prudential indicator contained at paragraph 13 of Annex B.

(e)   The Investment Management Strategy for 2011/2012 contained in paragraphs 22 to 32 of Annex B.

(f)     The revised investment counterparty criteria detailed in paragraph 33 of Annex B.

Cllr Robinson, Cabinet Member for an Efficient Council and Finance, presented report F.106, explaining that the Audit Committee and Cabinet had already agreed its recommendations. He reminded members that the council’s policy over recent years had been to invest safely rather than to achieve the highest returns. He highlighted changes in accounting practice required by the introduction of the new International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS), which entailed treating leased equipment such as copiers as assets and leases as loans. The council still did not have any actual loans. The report also asked for the council to be able to increase its list of counter parties to include named safe institutions abroad with AAA credit ratings.

Cllr Hogan said that over the years the council had been very prudent in its investment, managing to withdraw investments from Icelandic banks before their collapse.

Cllr Robinson proposed and Cllr Riley seconded the motion. Members could rest assured that the Audit Committee and Cabinet spent time to ensure that the council continued to do very well in this area.

Cllr Shenoi commented that this report was linked to the budget and believed that cash grants could have been invested more productively while safeguarding capital.

Cllr Birch, chairman of the Audit Committee, confirmed that the committee had asked rigorous questions regarding the report.

RESOLVED – to adopt the six key elements of this report:

a)     The Treasury Management Strategy for 2011/2012 to 2013/2014 contained in report F.106, Annex B.

b)     The prudential and treasury indicators and limits for 2011/2012 to 2013/2014 contained in report F.106, Annexes A, B and B2.

c)      The Minimum Revenue Provision (MRP) statement at paragraph 14 of report F.106, Annex A, which sets out the Council’s policy on MRP.

d)     The Authorised Limit prudential indicator contained at paragraph 13 of report F.106, Annex B.

e)     The Investment Management Strategy for 2011/2012 contained in paragraphs 22 to 32 of report F.106, Annex B.

f)        The revised investment counterparty criteria detailed in paragraph 33 of report F.106, Annex B.

Councillor Brian Robinson, Cabinet Member for an Efficient Council and Finance, to present report F.107, detailing the proposed Revenue and Capital Budget 2011/12 and the Medium Term Financial Plan 2011/2015, including recommendations from the Cabinet meeting on 10 February 2011.

Cllr Robinson presented report F.107, explaining that the council now had clarity for funding over the next two years, but none regarding the following two years. The council had consulted with the community and the Budget Working Group had then formulated options. The council had then consulted business leaders, town and parish councils and district councillors through the scrutiny process and an all-member seminar. The Budget Working Group had considered all comments.

The principal aims of the budget were to ensure no additional burden on the community by ensuring that the Council Tax was affordable and to continue to provide services that were important to the community. The council’s customer relations record was on a par with the best in private business, planning applications were handled more quickly and more appeals were being won, customer satisfaction remained high and the council was successfully addressing housing needs.

The creation of a community engagement team sought to find ways of delivering a better service to the community. Charges for services with existing charges would rise by 4 per cent in line with inflation. The Cabinet agreed £630,000 to carry out a restructuring exercise. A cross-party group had recommended changes to Service Level Agreements (SLA). The Budget Working Group proposed an increase in the disabled facilities grant to meet local needs.

The most common concern expressed in consultations was the withdrawal of funding from the district’s CCTV arrangements. The council had communicated its intention to town councils two years previously and would work with the town councils to reach solutions. However the proposal remained in the budget.

Cllr Birch referred to agenda page 101, asking for more detail on how the £80,000 saving would be achieved through adjusting opening hours.

Cllr Robinson answered that the move would enable changes in working arrangements for staff. The council was also introducing a 24 hour automated payment system, which would save staff time.

Cllr Burford thanked Cllr Robinson for ensuring that members received a full breakdown of the budget. He asked if leisure management budget would be retained in the council’s control or transfer to other organisations for 2011/12.

Cllr Robinson replied that arrangements would remain exactly as they were currently. In the medium term the council would consider more efficient ways of keeping leisure centres, while delivering support in different ways.

Cllr Martin asked if the 51 per cent cut in funding the Youth Workers Network would be revisited if discussions mentioned on agenda page 73 broke down.

Cllr Robinson explained that for the purposes of the budget the overall reduction figure of £25,766 in SLAs was the key figure. The detail was not normally given in the budget report.

Cllr Riley, who had chaired the cross-party portfolio support group that had considered the issue, said that the group had not set out with a figure for savings in mind. It had considered as a baseline comparative value to the community. Additionally the group had not worked in isolation, but had looked at comparisons with  ...  view the full minutes text for item 8.2

Councillor Brian Robinson, Cabinet Member for an Efficient Council, to present report F.105 detailing council tax rates for 2011/2012.  The Cabinet recommendation from its meeting on 10 February 2011.

Cllr Robinson presented report F.105, which had been adjusted to include recently received figures from the county council. The only change in individual council tax bills for 2011/12 would be if town or parish councils changed their precepts.

Cllr Robinson proposed and Cllr Amos seconded the motion.

RESOLVED –

Councillor Patrick Molyneux to present report PH.57 relating to the Core Strategy for the Council.

Cllr Molyneux presented report PH.57, commenting that much consultation had taken place since he had last presented the strategy in September 2010. The joint scrutiny review had taken representations from many sources, most of which had been incorporated into the document at the agenda before members.

Cllr Lawton, co-chairman of the joint scrutiny committee, said that the review had been an interesting piece of work, which had gone into the issue in some depth. He suggested that perhaps this kind of document should go to scrutiny as a matter of course and earlier in the process.

Cllr Dalziel, scrutiny committee member, commented that it had been well worth looking at the strategy again. She had been impressed by the responses with reasons produced by officers. She recognised that, while it had been an in-depth exercise taking comments from the public, some still might not be satisfied. However there would still be an opportunity to make comments in the statutory period.

Cllr Burford, scrutiny committee member, said that the review had resulted from concerns from many members about parts of the strategy. He was pleased that amendments had been made, which showed the value of scrutiny and agreed that the review should have been programmed as part of the document’s progress through the council. He was now happy with the strategy and hoped other members would be too.

Cllr Gardiner, scrutiny committee member, agreed that it had been an excellent exercise and mentioned concern about a large development site near Lydbrook that needed to be looked at following publication of the strategy. He asked if the issue of allotments had been addressed.

The Forward Plan Manager replied that the issue of allotments would be addressed more closely in other documents as well as the strategy, which had included a change regarding garden size.

Cllr Hale, co-chairman of the joint scrutiny committee, endorsed the views of his co-chairman, saying that the review showed what scrutiny could achieve and thanked officers for their help throughout the process.

Cllr Allaway Martin, scrutiny committee member, said that she had learned a lot about the district during the review and reflected that the document would place a great responsibility for the long term on the new council in May. The council would need to monitor and contribute to its implementation.

Cllr Molyneux closed by thanking members for their comments, agreeing that the scrutiny had been worthwhile as part of the process, which had been ongoing for several years, in leading to an excellent document. He thanked officers for their work and patience when answering comments and questions.

Cllr Molyneux proposed and Cllr Quaile seconded the motion.

RESOLVED - To endorse the Core Strategy as at report PH.57 for publication and submission to the Secretary of State.

Councillor Andrew Gardiner to present report LD.319 relating to the visit to the House of Lords on 17 January 2011.

Cllr Gardiner presented report LD.319, thanking officers for their diligence and commitment to facilitate the visit. He expressed his appreciation to the delegation itself, including all officers, councillors and experts. He asked for a letter of thanks to be sent to all delegated experts, peers and MPs whom the council had engaged with during the visit.

Following discussions Lord Greaves, Environment spokesperson for the government, had tabled a successful amendment to exempt the Forest of Dean among others from the forestry part of the Public Bodies Bill. That amendment had led to the government withdrawing the forestry section from the Bill. Baroness Royall and the Bishop of Gloucester proposed to retain the exemption of the Forest of Dean from the 1967 Act.

He believed that the delegation had achieved all its objectives and had enhanced the standing of the council. There was no longer a need for the second recommendation to the report.

Cllr Gardiner accepted the following friendly amendment from Cllr Hogan, given that the meeting probably would not have time to debate his motion.

That the previous recommendation 2 be replaced with the following:

2. That the council send a letter to the Secretary of State requesting that the panel of experts proposed by the government to look into the future of the Public Forest Estate in England should take evidence locally from forest areas and the Panel should include a representative from the Forest of Dean. The letter should also confirm that the Council will offer the council chamber as a venue for the Panel to take evidence locally.

Cllr Amos expressed his full support and proposed that the question be put. Members resolved to put the question by a show of hands.

RESOLVED –

1. To accept the Case set out at Annex A to exempt the Forest of Dean and its contiguous woodlands from the Public Bodies Bill and to record its appreciation to the delegation and
2. That the council send a letter to the Secretary of State requesting that the panel of experts proposed by the government to look into the future of the Public Forest Estate in England should take evidence locally from forest areas and the Panel should include a representative from the Forest of Dean. The letter should also confirm that the Council will offer the council chamber as a venue for the Panel to take evidence locally.

The chairman adjourned the meeting at 10.30pm.

The Chairman of the ICT Task Group, Councillor David Thomson to present the final report LD.318 from the group.

This item was deferred for consideration at the meeting held on 2 March 2011.

To safeguard the Royal Forest of Dean, the contiguous woods and other woodlands within the Forest of Dean District for future generations and to protect our traditions and privileges this Council should do everything in its power to prevent the Forest and these woodlands from being taken out of public ownership and from being managed by any body other than the Forestry Commission, and accordingly the Council resolves -  

"That

a.    this Council opposes any proposal to take out of public ownership  the Forest of     Dean and Dymock, Queens, Linton, Mailscot, Highmeadow, Huntsham Hill, Clearwell, Hope,  Flaxley, Lea Bailey, Lords Wood, Mugglewort, Welshbury, bearse/Slade, Clanna, Tidenham and Wye Valley, Bishopswood (part Herefordshire) Leasehold, Kidnalls (Leasehold) Courtfield (Leasehold) and Little Doward (Herefordshire).

 b.    the Council opposes any proposal to transfer the management and/or ownership of the Forest and any of these woods to a charity,

 c.    the Council urges the Secretary of State to retain the Forest and these woodlands in public ownership and to ensure their continued management by the Forestry Commission, and

d.    the Council reaffirms its determination to retain the exemption from disposal afforded by Section 39(2A) of the Forestry Act 1967, as amended,

 Also that the Defra Consultation Document be completed on behalf of the Council in a manner to reflect this resolution.

In conjunction with the foregoing this Council to:

Write to Mark Harper MP and Prime Minister David Cameron MP, and the Secretary of State, and electronically copy to Members of Parliament and Local Authorities, requesting their urgent support for this resolution and for the exemption of the Forest of Dean and these woodlands from Clause 17 of the Public Bodies Bill.

And further, for a deputation of Member’s representatives from All Groups and Officer/s and co-opted expert/s to visit and meet with those engaged in the Public Bodies Bill passing through the Commons, namely, through  Mark Harper MP and his Office to meet and engage with the Secretary of State, Caroline Spelman; the Head of Paid Services and the Solicitor to the Council to make all necessary arrangements.

“That this Council notes, with indignation, that whilst our local community is facing huge budget cuts for essential services including health and social care, the UK ‘s contribution to the European Union (EU) is set to rise by 60% over two years.

This Council notes that, despite the opposition of some MPs, and MEPs, it is likely that the coalition government will agree to a substantial increase in the overall EU budget.

This Council believes the EU budget allocation should be treated the same as the other tiers of government and the EU should not be allowed to spend beyond its means.

The government’s priority should be to safeguard local services.

This Council therefore urges our MP not to support an increase in the EU budget.”

Due to the ongoing delay in commencement with the refurbishment of the Heywood Leisure Centre, I request that a meeting be held with District and Town Officers and representatives from Heywood School, to discuss a possible programme of works to be undertaken at the Leisure Centre, to improve the swimming facilities.  The money has been ring fenced by the District Council, and a timetable should now be agreed with regard to delivery if the programme.
