The expected RSG was £58.811m and the final amount confirmed was now £59.325m, a difference of £0.514m. This sum would be placed into contingent items and a decision could be made as to its utilisation as part of the 2015/16 revenue monitoring process. The changes to the tables in the report had been set out for Members and would be reflected in the report to Council. The amendments referred to the tables in the following sections of the report: 5.3, 7.2, 8.3 and 10.3.

4.               Councillor Stafford highlighted for Members the progress in setting the budget for 2015/16 and the medium term financial plan; the level of savings which had been achieved from 2010-2014; and, the level of savings predicted from 2015-2019.

9.               The contingencies and general balances as set out in section 12 of the report. The levels proposed were appropriate and prudent. The level of borrowing would continue to be closely monitored. The proposed budget was robust, as detailed in the report.

A report from the Director of Finance, Resources and Customer Services and Director of Health, Housing and Adult Social Care is attached. This sets out the proposed detailed budget for the Housing Revenue Account for 2015/16. It also updates the 30 year HRA business plan and details the plan for the next 5 years to 2019/20. (Key decision – reference number 3958)

(Report No.159)

(8.30 – 8.35 pm)

Councillor Ahmet Oykener (Cabinet Member for Housing and Estate Regeneration) introduced the report of the Director of Health, Housing and Adult Social Care and Director of Finance, Resources and Customer Services (No.159) setting out the proposed detailed budget for the Housing Revenue Account for 2015/16.

NOTED

1.               That the average rent increase for Enfield tenants would be 2.2% (an average price increase of £2.21 per week), this was in line with Government guidance and Enfield Council Rent Policy. Members noted how Enfield compared with other Boroughs, as set out in the report.

2.               The level of proposed service charges for 2015/16 as detailed in the report.

3.               The proposed heating charges as set out in the report. There would be an overall 10% decrease in communal heating charges for both gas and electricity costs in 2015/16 (appendix 3 of the report referred).

4.               The current position with regard to the HRA 30 year business plan as addressed in detail in the report. The business plan remained balanced. A key issue for the HRA business plan was the increase in the number of right to buys. There were estimated to be 200 in 2014/15 and a similar number were projected for 2015/16. Section 11 of the report set out the implications for Members’ consideration, as highlighted by Councillor Oykener at the meeting.

Alternative Options Considered: NOTED that two alternatives had been considered; these were not increasing rents in line with the Government guidance and increasing rents above this guidance. These two options had both been discounted. Neither of these options was in line with the Council’s rent policy either which follows government guidelines. If rents were not increased this would mean significant loss of income and would undermine the business plan in future years.

RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL that

1.               The detailed revenue estimates of the Housing Revenue Account for 2015/16 be approved.

2.               The rents be increased in line with Government guidance and Enfield Council Rent Policy. This would result in an average increase of 2.2% for Enfield tenants.

3.               The level of service charges as set out in Paragraph 6.1 of the report for those properties receiving the services be agreed for 2015/16.

4.               The proposals for increases in other income as detailed in Appendix 2 of the report be agreed for 2015/16.

5.               That the Temporary Accommodation rents as set out in Appendix 6 of the report be agreed for 2015/16 and that the authority to review in the event of any changes be delegated to the Cabinet Member for Housing and Estate Regeneration and the Director of Health, Housing and Adult Social Care and the Cabinet Member for Finance and Director of Finance, Resources and Customer Services.

6.               That the total HRA capital programme of £52.7m be agreed for 2015/16 and a further four years.

7.               That authority should be delegated to the Cabinet Member for Housing and Estate Regeneration and the Director of Health, Housing and Adult Social Care for approve tenders for Decent Homes and General  ...  view the full minutes text for item 8.

A report from the Director of Finance, Resources and Customer Services is attached. This sets out the Council’s revenue budget monitoring position based on information to the end of December 2014. (Key decision – reference number 3952)

(Report No.160)

(8.35  - 8.40 pm)

Councillor Andrew Stafford (Cabinet Member for Finance) introduced the report of the Director of Finance, Resources and Customer Services (No.160) setting out the Council’s revenue budget monitoring position based on information to the end of December 2014.

NOTED

1.               That the report forecast an outturn position of £2.88m overspend for 2014/15 subject to action plans to contain budget pressures.

2.               The budget pressures facing Schools and Children’s Services as set out in section 5.5 of the report and outlined by Andrew Fraser (Director of Schools and Children’s Services) at the meeting. Recommendation 2.3 of the report, set out in decision 3 below, proposed the use of contingency and contingent items to fund the SEN transport pressure within Schools and Children’s Services in 2014/15 of £507k. Members noted the work that was being undertaken to review and meet demands particularly in relation to intervention and prevention measures.

3.               The effect of demand led pressures on the revenue budget. Levels of demand would continue to be closely monitored.

Alternative Options Considered: Not applicable to this report.

DECISION: The Cabinet agreed

1.               To note the £2.88m overspend revenue outturn position.

2.               That departments reporting pressures should continue to formulate and implement action plans to ensure that they remain within budget in 2014/15.

3.               The use of contingency and contingent items to fund the SEN Transport pressure within Schools and Children’s Services in 2014/15 of £570k (section 5.5 of the report referred).

4.               To a review of the current revenue monitoring process and to note that a further report would be submitted recommending improvements for 2015/16 in line with Enfield 2017 principles and practices.

Reason: To ensure that Members were aware of the projected budgetary position for the Authority for the current and future years including all major budget pressures and underspends which had contributed to the present monthly position and that were likely to affect the Council’s finances over the period of the Medium Term Financial Plan.

(Key decision – reference number 3952)

A report from the Director of Health, Housing and Adult Social Care is attached. This summarises the progress on the local implementation of the Care Act 2014. (Key decision – reference number 3995)

(Report No.161)

(8.40 – 8.45 pm)

Councillor Don McGowan (Cabinet Member for Health and Adult Social Care) introduced the report of the Director of Health, Housing and Adult Social Care (No.161) summarising the progress on the local implementation of the Care Act 2014 categorised by key requirements and workstream areas.

NOTED

1.               The progress which had been made by the Council in the local implementation of the Care Act 2014 and the first set of reforms which came into force in April 2015.

2.               That this major change was taking place within Enfield 2017, this had provided a positive framework for implementation with consistency and clear operating principles.

3.               The effect of the Care Act 2014 on individuals and local authorities, as detailed in the report.

4.               The financial implications of the implementation of the Care Act and the uncertainties which still existed with regard to future levels of Government funding, as set out in detail in the report.

5.               The implications for individual care budgets and the examples highlighted by Councillor Savva.

6.               Members’ request that the report be referred to full Council for information and noting.

Alternative Options Considered: It was a statutory requirement to implement the Care Act, so no alternative options had been considered in the drafting of this report.

DECISION: The Cabinet agreed to note:

1.               The progress made to implement the Care Act in Enfield and the key risks associated with implementation and the mitigating actions.

2.               That the financial modelling to understand the impact of the Care Act continued at both local, regional and national level including through ADASS and London Councils, as advised at July Cabinet and October Council meetings. This would include ensuring a robust response to the government consultation on the funding reforms due in February. As previously reported, when the Government introduced the Care Bill it advised that any new burdens on local government would be funded. Until clear funding allocations were made available, there was a risk that this cost was not fully funded, but, at present it was not possible to form an opinion.

3.               This major change was taking place within Enfield 2017 and this had provided a positive framework for Care Act implementation, in particular changes to the Gateway Services and assessment hub.

RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL that the report be received for information and noting.

Reason: It was a statutory duty for local authorities to implement the Care Act. It was essential that Cabinet was aware of the reforms and the implications for the Council.

In addition a hard copy has also been placed, for reference purposes, in both Group Offices and the Members Lounge.  Please contact the Cabinet Secretary (details provided above) if a hard copy is required.

Councillor Rohini Simbodyal (Cabinet Member for Culture, Sport, Youth and Public Health) introduced the report of the Director of Public Health (No.162) presenting the Annual Public Health report.

NOTED

1.               The publication and findings of the Annual Public Health report. It was a statutory duty for the Director of Public Health to produce an Annual Public Health report. The Council had a statutory responsibility to publish the report.

2.               That this year’s report was called “Mind the Gap” and focused on reducing the gap in life expectancy in Enfield, which also linked to the Council’s priorities.

3.               That the report was evidence based and focused on short-term, medium-term and long-term aims and interventions. Councillor Simbodyal provided Members with detailed examples of the work that was being undertaken in the Borough and the aims for the future. Such measures would address behaviour change such as smoking cessation and looking at long term issues including poverty, housing and crime levels. Members recognised the challenges faced and in the light of historical underfunding for public health in the Borough.

4.               That Members commended the report and noted the need to target effective initiatives and interventions in specific wards identified and to continue to try to engage with hard to reach groups in the community.

5.               Councillor Simbodyal highlighted the cost savings that could be achieved in effective preventative measures. For example, the launch of a free exercise programme in parks could result in cost savings for the NHS as the health of participating residents in the Borough improved.

DECISION: Cabinet agreed to note the publication and findings of the Annual Public Health Report 2014.

Reason: To inform Members of the Cabinet about the progress in reducing life expectancy gap, challenges ahead and ways to tackle the challenges.

A report from the Director of Regeneration and Environment is attached. This sets out proposals to introduce time-banded collections of waste and recycling on a trial basis within Enfield Town Centre. (Key decision – reference number 4060)

(Report No.163)

(8.50 – 8.55 pm)

Councillor Chris Bond (Cabinet Member for Environment and Community Safety) introduced the report of the Director of Regeneration and Environment (No.163) setting out proposals to introduce time-banded collections of waste and recycling on a trial basis within Enfield town centre.

NOTED

1.               That the approach set out in the report required adoption of new regulations to enable appropriate enforcement where necessary to ensure compliance. The scheme would be monitored for 12 months before options for expansion or continuation were considered.

2.               That Members’ welcomed the proposals detailed in the report.

Alternative Options Considered: To continue with the existing arrangements, this would provide no relief to residents and retailers and others who rely upon the Town Centres for trade or leisure activities. This would also fail to improve the quality of the street scene due to problems identified at section 3 of the report.

DECISION: The Cabinet agreed to

1.               Approve the London Borough of Enfield Waste Receptacle Regulations 2014 made under sections 20 and 22 of the London Local Authorities Act 2007 (LLA 2007) as detailed in Appendix 2 of the report.

2.               Approve the implementation of the time-banded collections as detailed in sections 3.7 to 3.14 of the report and to enforce as set out in sections 3.15 to 3.16.4 of the report.

3.               Delegate authority to review and extend the scheme for further periods or to other areas to the Cabinet Member for Environment and Community Safety.

Reason: To improve the street scene through reducing bags and bins left out for collection during the day in core business hours. To improve traffic flows as collections take place outside peak travel periods. To provide better pedestrian access as stored waste would not block footpaths and pavements. To enable enforcement action to ensure that private waste contractors service their customers. To remove the hazards associated with waste left on the street, particularly for the partially sighted or persons who were infirm. To remove a potential fire hazard from the street. To allow use of litter bins and street furniture where waste currently prevents access.

(Key decision – reference number 4060)

A report from the Director of Regeneration and Environment is attached. This seeks approval of the revised Appraisals and Management proposals for a number of conservation areas in the Borough, as set out in the report. (Key decision – reference number 4013)

(Report No.164)

(8.55 – 9.00 pm)

Councillor Yasemin Brett (Cabinet Member for Community Organisations) left the meeting for the discussion of this item and took no part in the decision (Minute No.2 above refers).

NOTED

1.               That thirteen of the borough’s twenty-two conservation areas had recently been reviewed and updated (Phase 1 of the review) and had been subject to extensive consultation, as detailed in the report.

2.               That the Conservation Area Appraisals and Conservation Area Management Proposals for the Borough’s twenty-two conservation areas had reached the end of their five year lifespan and were therefore being reviewed and updated.

3.               That the appraisals supported the Council’s commitment in its Local Plan and the management proposal documents would, in due course, form part of the Enfield Design Guide, a Supplementary Planning document to the Local Plan, as detailed in the report.

Alternative Options Considered: To not update the Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Appraisal documents. The documents approved in 2006 and 2009 were now out of date in terms of national planning policy and the recasting of the local planning policy through the Local Plan, English Heritage guidance and changes in the physical fabric of the area over the last five years from development. These documents do not provide an up-to-date policy background to support Development Management decisions, including appeals.

DECISION: The Cabinet agreed to

1.               Approve the revised Appraisals and Management Proposals for the following conservation areas (Appendix 2 of the report) subject to further changes in relation to comments received from English Heritage:

·       Bush Hill Park

·       Clay Hill

·       Enfield Lock

·       Enfield Town

·       Forty Hill

·       Hadley Wood

·       Highlands

·       Ponders End Flour Mills

·       Southgate Green

·       Trent Park

·       Turkey Street

·       Winchmore Hill

·       Vicars Moor Lane

2.               Delegate authority to the Director of Regeneration and Environment to agree further minor changes to the Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Proposals to reflect comments received from English Heritage.

Reason: The documents had been through consultation with local conservation area study groups, Conservation Advisory Group and the general public via the website and a public meeting held on 14 January 2015. English Heritage made minor comments on the details of the text. Public consultation via the website resulted in one additional letter of comment. The results of the consultation and the changes made were shown in Appendix 1 of the report. The documents were therefore recommended for approval subject to minor amendments pursuant to consultation responses received from English Heritage.
