Minutes: Cabinet had before them the first report in a series on the Service & Resource Planning process for 2014/15 to 2017/18, providing councillors with information on budget issues for 2014/15 and the medium term.

Home to School Transport - Consultation Cabinet Member: Children, Education & Families Forward Plan Ref: 2013/122 Contact: Neil Darlington, Service Manager – Admissions & Transport Tel: (01865) 815844 Report by Director for Children’s Services (CA8). It is proposed that the Council should undertake a consultation with the public, headteachers and other interested parties upon a range of possible changes to the Home to School Transport Policy. This follows the decision of the Cabinet on 16 July to consult again on the possible changes to the Home to School Transport Policy. There is a significant financial risk to the County Coucil if the current policy remains unamended. Free travel is currently provided to the catchment school, even if it is not the nearest school, if it is over the statutory walking distance and since an increasing number of schools set their own admission arrangements, including any catchment area, and the County Council could find its financial obligations increasing in future years. In addition, the County Council is under increasing financial pressure and therefore needs to consider possible options for reducing costs. The Cabinet is asked to consider the consultation process to decide whether it is acceptable. The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to adopt the following proposals: (a)
to agree
the consultation arrangements for Home to School Transport (b)
if
14 (a) is agreed, to determine whether any Cabinet Members will attend any of
the public meetings Minutes: It is proposed
that the Council should undertake a consultation with the public, headteachers and other interested parties upon a range of
possible changes to the Home to School Transport Policy. Following the
decision of the Cabinet on 16 July to consult again on the possible changes to
the Home to School Transport Policy Cabinet had before them a report .that
sought approval to the proposed consultation process. Councillor Gill
Sanders, Shadow Cabinet Member for Children, Education & Families
reiterated comments made at the previous Cabinet meeting that the Labour Group
remained in favour of a policy looking to charge for home to school transport
(statutory provision aside) in the current financial situation. However she hoped
that consultation would be properly carried out with everyone receiving the
information in a clear way. She suggested that consideration be given to
solutions elsewhere and referred to Somerset that used Designated Transport
Areas. Neil Darlington
responding to a question from the Leader indicated that there was no indication
when the guidance would be reissued but it was expected late September/early
October. Responding to a comment from Councillor Heathcoat he undertook to
publicise the consultation locally for the Grove & Wantage
area. During discussion Cabinet Members indicated that they would attend as many of the public meetings as was possible. RESOLVED:
to: (a)
agree the
consultation arrangements for Home to School Transport; (b) agree, that Cabinet would attend as many of the public meetings as was possible. |

the City Deal proposal and seeks approval for the City Deal Negotiation
Document prior to its submission and presentation to the Government. Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to
approve: (a)
the approach and overarching strategy for the City Deal proposal; (b)
the County Council to act as the accountable body for the City Deal
proposal. Minutes: Cabinet considered a report that
set out an overview of the City Deal proposal and sought approval for the City
Deal Negotiation Document prior to its submission and presentation to the
Government. Councillor Liz Brighouse, Opposition Leader, spoke
in support of the recommendations. However she expressed disappointment that
the proposal had been scaled back and concern that the County Council was not
as well engaged as they should be. In particular she was concerned at the large
amount of funding going to bodies that were not democratic. She stressed the need
for development to grow within existing communities. The Leader in welcoming
the co-operation of the labour Group gave assurances that as a member of the
Local Enterprise Partnership he drew attention to the democratic voice provided
by the County Council. RESOLVED: to approve: (a)
the approach and overarching strategy for the
City Deal proposal; and (b) the County Council to act as the accountable body for the City Deal proposal. |

Thornhill and Water Eaton Park & Rides - Introduction of Short Term Parking Charges Cabinet Member: Environment Forward Plan Ref: 2013/117 Contact: Jim Daughton, Highways & Transport Service Manager Tel: (01865) 815083 Report by Director for Environment & Economy (CA10). To consider proposed service changes to introduce new and to increase existing car park charging to the Thornhill and Water Eaton park & rides scheme after consultation. Additional income which is anticipated from the introduction of short term parking charges is required to contribute to the savings set out in the Medium Term Financial Plan. This report summarises the public consultation on the advertised Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) for charging and recommends to Cabinet Members a proposed level of charging. Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to : (a)
approve the making of the Oxfordshire County
Council (Park and Ride Parking Places - Thornhill and
Water Eaton) Order 201* as advertised; (b)
confirm the timing of the introduction of
charges as identified in paragraphs 9-13 using option i.
from paragraph 11 which removes the Hospital exemption; and (c)
instruct officers to undertake a review
between 6 – 12 months of commencement of charging. Minutes: Cabinet considered a report on proposed service changes to introduce new and to increase existing car park charging to the Thornhill and Water Eaton park & rides scheme after consultation. Additional income which is anticipated from the introduction of short term parking charges is required to contribute to the savings set out in the Medium Term Financial Plan. This report summarised the
public consultation on the advertised Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) for charging
and recommended to Cabinet Members a proposed level of charging. Councillor John Sanders,
Shadow Cabinet Member for Environment spoke in support of the recommendations.
Councillor Rose responding to comments from Councillor Sanders about the need
to budget for a consultation on a controlled parking zone for Sandhills commented that there were other solutions across
the County so that a CPZ was not the only alternative. Dr Mark Woodhall, Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences,
spoke against the proposed removal of the exemption for hospital staff and
indicated that patients could be put at risk by staff such as himself not being able to work the longer hours due to the
parking charges they would face. Dr Louisa
Kent, John Radcliffe Hospital, spoke against the changes and suggested they
would not assist congestion as originally envisaged by the park and ride
scheme. She referred to concerns from the University about attracting and
retaining top people and felt that the proposed charges would not help. She
asked that if there were any season discount tickets available that information
be circulated in advance of the introduction of charges. Responding to a query from Councillor Hibbert Biles about why the NHS should not cover the costs
of their employees Dr Kent replied that the NHS could not afford to do so. Ed Wigzel Travel Officer, Sustainability Team, Estates Services University
of Oxford, indicated that he was speaking on behalf of a number of University
staff who strongly opposed the charges. He believed that they would have a
detrimental effect on the vibrancy of the City Centre and the ability to
attract and retain skilled employees. The City Deal needed infrastructure
support to support accessible employees and the charges were not a good
foundation to allow competition in a global market. He referred to other cities
that made Park & Ride part of their overall package to employees. Alex Lalvani, a local
resident, spoke against the charges and expressed concern that there would be
displacement parking. There had already been issues raised with the police.
There was no one for local people to talk to and no mechanism for their
involvement to ensure impacts were minimised. As a
daily user he added that the system of payment was not easy to use and was not
a good impression for visitors to the City. The Leader gave assurances that
local people could address concerns to their local Councillors
or to himself. Councillor Nimmo Smith in moving the recommendations highlighted the expansion of Thornhill, the introduction of the successful cycle hire and that ... view the full minutes text for item 102/13 |

Contributions Policy Cabinet Member: Adult Social Care Forward Plan Ref: 2013/037 Contact: Sarah Fogden, Finance Business Partner (Adult Social Care) Tel: 07557 082613/Ben Threadgold, Strategy Manager Tel: (01865) 328219 Report by Director for Social & Community Services (CA13). Oxfordshire
County Council aims to support and promote strong communities so that people
live their lives as successfully, independently and safely as possible. The
Council aims to encourage independence and choice, promote prevention and early
intervention, be fair and equitable and give service users more power and
control over their lives. Social care is
not a free service and the way funding is allocated from central government
makes it clear that councils need to collect income locally to contribute to
the cost of services. The purpose of
the Adult Social Care Contributions Policy is to outline a fair approach to the
financial contributions made by individuals towards the social care services
they receive. The Council is committed to making its approach to these
contributions as simple and straightforward as possible. Changes in
national policy, lessons learnt from implementing personal budgets and direct
payments, as well as inconsistencies that have been identified in our current
practice, mean that it is timely to review our contributions policy. This is
also an opportunity to address inconsistencies that have been identified in
current policy and implementation, and through the recent audit of adult social
care, such as people paying providers directly for day opportunities and
double-handed care being charged different rates from people paying through
personal budgets. The new policy essentially restates the principles in the current policy
as the basis on which we seek contributions from individuals towards the cost
of their care. This is primarily through contributions to their personal
budget, but also includes services that incur a charge either from the provider
or from the Council. However, there are a number of areas where changes are
proposed, which will have implications for service users and the Council. The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to
agree the Contributions Policy for Adult Social Care, for implementation with
effect from 5th January 2014. Additional documents:
Minutes: Cabinet had before them a
report seeking approval to the Contributions Policy for Adult Social Care The
purpose of the Adult Social Care Contributions Policy is to outline a fair
approach to the financial contributions made by individuals towards the social
care services they receive. Councillor Laura Price, Shadow
Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care hoped that the pricing policy would be
clear and understandable. She also urged that where people faced an increase in
charges they be engaged in the process in a timely way. Councillor Heathcoat in introducing
the report commented that all the recent strategies were aimed at supporting
strong communities with people living their lives as independently as possible.
She corrected an error on page 186 noting that the correct number was 27 as
referred to earlier in the report. RESOLVED: to agree the Contributions Policy for Adult Social Care, for implementation with effect from 5th January 2014. |
