Council Forward Plan - September to November
So what's coming up for Councillors to debate after the August break.
Here are some of the future items coming to Strategy Committee between September and November. Many have already have been discussed and need little further comment.
I have annotated the more interesting items. For more details, it should be possible to click on each item to go to the relevant part of the Council website. The numbering follows the Forward Plan itself:
1. Quarterly Performance Monitor 2006/07 - First Quarter
2. Corporate Plan 2007/10
I welcome further debate on this and will make my comments through this website.
3. Local Area Agreement
4. Medium Term Service and Financial Plan
This could be a very important paper. I hope that as well as securing efficiencies it avoids impacting on staff morale (vital for us to stay "Excellent") throughy too much uncertainty.
5. Sutton Disability Trust for Children & Young People - Section 31 Agreement
We seem to be developing piecemeal health and social care integration, which may not be a bad thing as long as we do move forward. I think an overview paper is needed to set out where we hope to be by 2010.
6. Implementing the Modernising of Learning Disability Day Services Strategy and the Provision of a New Youth Service
This will hopefully lead to a new Hallmead and a number of other sites as well as a new Youth Centre on the Century Youth Centre site.
7. Review of Day Services for Older People
I have previiously commented on this issue below and set out a criteria with which changes couyld be judged.
8. Delegations to Officers
I will comment in more detail when this comes to Community Leadership Advisory Group
9. Care Centre Buildings Improvement Plan
This will come to Strategy on 11 September. Presumably it covers the capital receipt from the flogging off of Bawtree and spending money on Oakleigh. Will it cover the flogging off of Ludlow and Franklin to pay for Carshalton War Memorial site as the Council reduces the number of Care Homes from 4 to 1 in the course of 3 years.
10. Investment Options for Highways
11. Roundshaw Large Scale Stock Transfer
I assume the ballot will nhjot have been held by then. I would still argue that Sutton Housing Partnership should be given the chance to offer to manage the properties.
12. Strategy for the Health of Looked After Children
13. Supporting People Programme
14. Review of Parking Services
Let's hope the Parking Waive Criteria is not going to be cynically dumped by the Lib Dems now the elections are over as some officers might be advising them. With Eleanor off Strategy, the Tories are likely to be clearer what their policy on these sort of issues this time.
15. Provision of Personal Computer Equipment and Software to Members
After the political assistants, presumably the laptops follow! Perhaps the item could cover ensuring all wards have at least one Councillor with public email address, instead of the 16 out of 18 wards covered we have at present.
16. Review of Senior Officer Pay
17. Insurance Contract
18. LPSA2
19. Voluntary Sector Compact
Mike Cooper sat on this issue for years before Sean Brennan moved it forward. I assume this is a review of progress.
20. Belsize Gardens Extra Care Sheltered Housing - Care and Support Arrangements
21. Private Sector Renewal - Council Loans
22. Future Procurement of Waste Services
An important issue for the next few years. This has the possibility for Sutton to become the leading authority in South West London as well as develop a "Green Industries corridor" in the Beddington Lane area. There is also some scope to look at partenrship with social enterprise as well. I will comment on the report when it comes out.
23. Policy for the Operation of the Re-use and Recycling Centre
This needs a review. We own the surrounding sites and I think we need to use some of that for expansion purposes for this site instead of just for a capital receipt. This is such a high profile site, it has to work correctly all the time, thus we need more space for flexibility.
24. Growth in ASD Cases
Pareants have greater expectations and schools are more prepared to encourage them to obtain statementing than in the past. This clearly requires greater resources to ensure we do not return to a backlog of statements thaty we had in the past.
25. Revenue Budget 2007/08 - Service Group Allocations
26. Best Value Performance Indicators - Half Year Progress
Here are some of the future items coming to Strategy Committee between September and November. Many have already have been discussed and need little further comment.
