Report of the Place Overview & Scrutiny Committee on Parking Standards for New Developments

Councillor Charlie Hicks, Deputy Chair, presented the report.  He welcomed the changes made to the standards document following the scrutiny report.  He noted that there appeared to be consensus around most of the recommendations but that the scrutiny committee had not had a chance to consider the response on recommendations 1 and 4 relating to a review of the evidence and alignment to the LTCP (Local Transport and Connectivity Plan).

Report of the Performance & Corporate Services Overview & Scrutiny Committee on Street Voice - Citizens’ Jury

Alison Chisholm, Qualitative Researcher, Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford, welcomed the scrutiny committee’s comments on the relationship of the Citizens’ Jury recommendations to Council’s policy processes.  She was concerned that some of the comments in the report may give the impression that there were particular shortcomings in the process which she does not believe was the case.  She was happy to respond to any concerns anybody may have outside of this meeting.

Councillor Michael O’Connor, Deputy Chair, summarised the report. He welcomed the agreement from Councillor Glynis Phillips to consider the question of how such juries fit into policy development.  The scrutiny committee felt that it should only be used alongside other consultation methods.

Report of the Performance & Corporate Services Overview & Scrutiny Committee on the Property Strategy

Councillor O’Connor stated that the Committee welcomed early sight of the report but that it was at too high a level for them to easily provide useful feedback.  They believed that there should be a focus on owned buildings, rather than leasehold, and colocation with partners and that local Members should be consulted and informed about proposals in their division.

Report of the Performance & Corporate Services Overview & Scrutiny Committee on the Local Government Association Peer Review on Communications

Councillor O’Connor highlighted two points from the report – that it was important that communications were embedded at an early stage of every project and that there was a need for political input.

Cabinet Members thanked the Deputy Chairs for presenting the reports in the absence of the Chairs of the scrutiny committees.  They also thanked the University of Oxford for organising the Citizens’ Jury.  Cabinet will give a formal response to each of the scrutiny reports.

Report by Director of Transport & Infrastructure (CA10).

Oxfordshire County Council’s Local Transport and Connectivity Plan (LTCP), adopted July 2022, outlines a clear vision to deliver a net-zero Oxfordshire transport and travel system by 2040. One of the policies within the LTCP that will be key to supporting this vision is realised is Policy 33, which sets out how the council is seeking to reduce and restrict car parking availability while also creating more attractive places for residents to live and work in.

The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to adopt and implement the revised ‘Parking Standards for New Developments’ as a formal supplementary document to the Local Transport and Connectivity Plan (LTCP).

Cabinet had before it the following:

In the agenda pack:

·       Cabinet report on ‘Parking Standards for New Developments’ with annexes

·       Report from the Place Overview & Scrutiny Committee

In the (first) Addenda

·       An addendum to the Cabinet report

·       The latest draft of the “Parking Standards for New Developments” document (Annex 1)

In Addenda 2

·       An overview of research

Before considering the item, the Chair agreed to the following requests to speak.

City Councillor Emily Kerr criticised the summary of research in the papers.  She stated that there was decades of evidence to show a strong correlation between car ownership and availability of parking with the number of car journeys.  She believed that the proposals were not in line with the targets adopted in the Local Transport and Connectivity Plan (LTCP) adopted by the Council.

Councillor Charlie Hicks believed that there had been little movement on the evidence or targets since the Cabinet meeting last month.  He did not accept the assertion in the reports that the evidence was not clear.  The evidence should be established first and then it was possible to have a debate on values.  There were better examples elsewhere of car-free developments both in-city and edge-of-city.

Councillor Ian Middleton supported the aims of the standards but called for a more holistic approach.  Particularly with smaller developments, limiting the number of parking spaces just pushed the problem onto adjoining streets and verges.  There was a need for it to be done alongside waiting restrictions and proper enforcement.

Councillor Robin Bennett stated that areas like Berinsfield and Culham were regarded as villages but, with new development, were effectively becoming the size of towns.  However, they had no Controlled Parking Zones and really required similar policies to edge-of-city developments.

Councillor Duncan Enright, Cabinet Member for Travel & Development Strategy, thanked Members, Officers and the councils for their input on this issue.  The proposals were by no means encouraging cars and were in line with policy.  Car usage was the primary target not ownership.

The proposals would remove the principle of having a minimum number of parking spaces.  Along with improvements in active travel infrastructure, the provision of transport hubs and car clubs will mean that people will be happy to use cars less.

Councillor Enright proposed an amendment to the recommendations that he along with Councillors Gant and Sudbury conduct a review with officers and bring back further changes soon to strengthen the policy.

Cabinet Members made a number of observations:

·         The proposal to further strengthen the document was welcomed.

·         Improved public transport and active travel can be provided to edge-of-city developments.

·         There were huge advantages to having fewer cars including reduction of accidents.

·         The proposal was better than the old policy and it was important to adopt it to set a line in the sand.

·         The biggest influence on car ownership was wealth.

Councillor Tim Bearder left the meeting.

Councillor Duncan Enright moved the amended recommendations.  Councillor Miller seconded and they were agreed.

Cabinet received the second capital programme update and monitoring report for 2022/23, setting out the monitoring position for 2022/23 based on activity to the end of August 2022 and providing an update to the Capital Programme approved by Cabinet in July 2022 taking into account additional funding and new and/or changes to schemes.

Before considering the report, the Chair had agreed to the following request to speak on the item.

Councillor Charlie Hicks noted that there was no reference to the Local Transport and Connectivity Plan (LTCP) in the principles for the prioritisation framework.

Councillor Calum Miller, Cabinet Member for Finance, proposed an amendment to add a reference to the LTCP.  He stated that the report was the result of a need to review the capital programme in light of inflationary pressures.  The prioritisation principles were set out in Annex 1 and the changes following its application were summarised in paragraph 13.

All of the Oxfordshire councils were collectively responsible for the growth deal funding decisions under the Future Oxfordshire Partnership.  The County Council needed to ensure that the proposals from the FOP were consistent with the County Council’s responsibility to account for the overall capital expenditure.

Councillor Miller highlighted paragraphs 38 and 39 referring to £30m in funding not yet received from central government.  The Chief Executive had written to central government on this issue the previous day.

The following amendment was agreed:

In Annex 1, Agenda Page 39, 6^th Principle: “Major Infrastructure schemes align to OXIS prioritisation”

Append “and LTCP targets.”

The recommendations as amended were proposed by Councillor Miller, seconded by Councillor Enright and agreed.

RESOLVED to:

OCC Capital revised programme and prioritisation

a)               Endorse the capital prioritisation framework (Annex 1 as amended)

b)               Approve the review of the OCC Capital Programme (paragraph 13)

Report by Director of Finance (CA8).

To provide background and context to the budget and business planning process for 2023/24.

The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to:

a)              Endorse the report and note the assumptions that will form the starting point for the 2023/24 budget as well as updates since the Medium Term Financial Strategy was agreed in February 2022 that need to be considered;

b)              Approve the budget and business planning process for 2023/24; and

c)              Approve a three-year period for the medium-term financial strategy to 2025/26 and ten-year period for the capital programme to 2032/33.

Cabinet had before it a report providing context and background information as well as updates about the wider economic environment since the 2022/23 budget and Medium Term Financial Strategy was agreed in February 2022. 

Councillor Calum Miller, Cabinet Member for Finance, noted that the new Chancellor of the Exchequer had announced that he wanted further cuts in spending.  Inflationary pressures meant that another £30m would need to be found in savings.  Extra demands would require another £20m in order for them to be met.

The feedback from last year’s extensive consultation process will be taken on board in the first stage.  Proposals will be published on 18 November for this year’s consultation process.  Different aspects of budget planning have been taken to scrutiny committees twice already this year and they will continue to be involved in the process.

The recommendations were moved by Councillor Miller, seconded by Councillor Phillips and agreed.

RESOLVED to:

a)         Endorse the report and note the assumptions that will form the starting point for the 2023/24 budget as well as updates since the Medium Term Financial Strategy was agreed in February 2022 that need to be considered;

Report by Corporate Director Environment & Place (CA11).

This paper requests Cabinet approval of an updated Street Lighting and Illuminated Assets policy.  The existing policy is considered to be out of date and no longer reflects the aspirations of the administration in terms of carbon saving and a more sustainable approach to all we do.  To accommodate a number of key changes there is a requirement for a revised Street Lighting and Illuminated Assets policy and there will be development of a new procedure to support its implementation.

The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to 

(a)                    Support the new direction and approach for managing Street Lighting and Illuminated Assets to better reflect local requirements and aspirations of the governing administration in relation to a more sustainable and carbon considered approach.

(b)                   Approve adoption of the update of the County Council’s Street Lighting and Illuminated Assets Policy statement as attached at ANNEX A. 

Cabinet was requested to approve an updated Street Lighting and Illuminated Assets policy reflecting the aspirations of the administration in terms of carbon saving and a more sustainable approach.

Councillor Andrew Gant, Cabinet Member for Highway Management, summarised the report.  The new policy will allow dimming and reduction of lighting hours to be considered on a case-by-case basis with local communities.  The policy was developed in consultation with a stakeholder group. 

Councillor Gant highlighted keywords from the underlying principles including climate change, safety, pollution, environment, active travel and community involvement.

Councillor Duncan Enright particularly welcomed the proposals in the policy on decluttering.

The recommendations were proposed by Councillor Gant, seconded by Councillor Sudbury and agreed.

RESOLVED to:

(a)                Support the new direction and approach for managing Street Lighting and Illuminated Assets to better reflect local requirements and aspirations of the governing administration in relation to a more sustainable and carbon considered approach.

Report by Corporate Director Environment & Place (CA12).

The existing highways maintenance contract with M-Group Infrastructure (Milestone) is set to expire on 31st March 2025 with no options to extend remaining. Oxfordshire County Council therefore needs to decide on a model for highway maintenance delivery from that date and have undertaken any procurement or recruitment prior to the expiry of the existing contract.

The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to

a)                  Approve the commencement of work for a new highway maintenance contract.

b)                  Endorse the proposed approach and key stages as set out in this paper.

Cabinet considered a report outlining the three main decision points in adopting the delivery model: i) this report seeking support for the proposed approach; ii) when the project team have a preferred option/s for development and progression; and iii) to seek approval to commence procurement of the preferred option.

Councillor Andrew Gant, Cabinet Member for Highway Management, introduced the report emphasising that it needed to be read alongside the Highway Assets Management Policy.  The current contract which expires in March 2025 with no further options to extend was based on the “Single Managing Agent” provider model.  It was proposed to explore alternative models which will involve a great deal of engagement and specialist support.

Councillor Gant proposed the recommendations, Councillor Enright seconded and they were agreed.

RESOLVED to:

a)              Approve the commencement of work for a new highway’s maintenance contract.

b)              Endorse the proposed approach and key stages as set out in this paper.

Report by Corporate Director for Adult Services (CA13).

To note the Fair Cost of Care Exercise and the development of Oxfordshire’s Market Sustainability Plan.

Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to note the process undertaken so far, so that the project group can continue to work towards presenting the final analysis, findings, and report with the provisional market sustainability plan, using the cost of care exercise as a key input in identifying risks in the local market and spend report, ready for submission to DHSC on 12 October 2022. The final market sustainability plan will be submitted in February 2023.

Cabinet was asked to note the process undertaken so far, so that the project group can continue to work towards presenting the final analysis, findings, and report with the provisional market sustainability plan.

Pippa Corner, Deputy Director for Joint Commissioning, summarised the report.  The Fair Cost of Care exercise was a statutory requirement.  There was a competition to identify a supplier.  LaingBuisson were contracted as a result.  The process has been supported by the Oxfordshire Association of Care Providers.  Work has now moved on to developing a market sustainability plan.  Central government will decide when to publish plans.

Councillor Calum Miller noted that one of the challenges in being a ‘trailblazer’ in this process was that the Council had to adopt reforms before there was clarity from central government on funding.  It would appear that clarity will not be forthcoming until January at the earliest which was very late in the budget planning process.

Asked if there was any early learning from the process so far, Pippa Corner responded that the government tools provided for information gathering were quite complicated and LaingBuisson had to engage in a lot of direct contact with providers to ensure the requests were understood correctly and the deadline for applications was extended to maximise the feedback.

The recommendation was proposed by Councillor Miller, seconded by Councillor Hannaby and agreed.

RESOLVED to:

note the process undertaken so far, so that the project group can continue to work towards presenting the final analysis, findings, and report with the provisional market sustainability plan, using the cost of care exercise as a key input in identifying risks in the local market and spend report, ready for submission to DHSC on 12 October 2022.

Report by Corporate Director for Adult Services (CA14).

The report summarises the work of the Oxfordshire Safeguarding Adults Board (OSAB) and its partners over the course of the year 2021-22. It is a requirement set out in the Care Act 2014 statutory guidance that the Local Authority receive a copy of the report and that they “will fully consider the contents of the report and how they can improve their contributions to both safeguarding throughout their own organisation and to the joint work of the Board” (Chapter 14, para 161).

The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to note the contents of the report and its conclusions.

Cabinet was asked to note the annual report covering April 2021 to March 2022.

Dr Jayne Chidgey-Clark, Independent Chair of OSAB, summarised the report.  She stated that the priorities last year had been leadership in homelessness, a new multi-agency process to tackle complexity and better links between strategic partners.  She was pleased to report a narrowing of the gap between the life expectancy for people with a learning disability and the general population.

Dr Chidgey-Clark identified the following overarching themes requiring focus: recruitment, embedding learning, more preventive safeguarding work, training to meet the needs and the transition for young people to adult services.

Asked to identify what was in place this coming winter to tackle homelessness, Karen Fuller, Interim Corporate Director for Adult Services, responded that there was now a system leadership project including city and district councils.  There was a lot more in-reach to hospitals streamlining that pathway and more sharing of data.

Members noted that there was more innovation with each report.  The work of scrutiny had been taken on board.  The Making Safeguarding Personal approach was welcomed.  The importance of sharing action plans was emphasised.

The recommendations were moved by Councillor Brighouse, seconded by Councillor Hannaby and agreed.

The Chair asked Dr Chidgey-Clark to take the thanks of Cabinet back to the Board for all their work.

RESOLVED to:

note the contents of the report and its conclusions.

Report by Corporate Director for Children’s Services (CA15).

This paper highlights findings from the Board's annual report on the effectiveness of local arrangements to safeguard and promote the welfare of children in Oxfordshire.

Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to note the annual report of the Oxfordshire Safeguarding Children Board senior safeguarding partners and to consider the key messages.

Cabinet received the annual report on the effectiveness of local arrangements to safeguard and promote the welfare of children in Oxfordshire.

Derek Benson, Independent Chair of OSCB, introduced the report.  It showed the need to improve practice with respect to the themes of neglect, child exploitation and keeping children safe in education.  An emerging issue was the impact of the pandemic – especially on adolescents.

There was a major issue with insufficient availability of placements.  This was a national issue and they continued to apply pressure on central government to address the problem.  The emphasis continued to be on finding placements as close to home as possible but also ensuring the provision was suitable.

Derek Benson emphasised the need for more early help.  Child sexual exploitation continued to be a major issue along with the sharing of images online.

Councillor Liz Brighouse, Cabinet Member for Children, Education & Young People’s services concurred that more early help was needed.  She stated that the work of the Board was invaluable in ensuring that partners had the information they needed to respond to issues.  She also described the lack of placements across the country as shameful.

The Chair thanked officers and asked the Independent Chair to pass on the thanks of Cabinet to all of the partners involved in the Board.

RESOLVED to:

note the annual report of the Oxfordshire Safeguarding Children Board senior safeguarding partners and to consider the key messages.
