It was reported that these decisions had been taken as urgent action as the next scheduled meeting of the Area Committee at which approval for these events could be sought was after the date of both events.

The Chair commented that he was concerned at the late timing of the submission of the applications which had necessitated the use of urgency provisions as both events had been known about for some time.  It was further commented that the arrangements and planning for the anticipated level of parking associated with the events had not been wholly satisfactory.

It was commented that the proposed extent of the resurfacing works would not include that part of Geneva Road from its junction with Lugano Road to the end of the cul-de-sac.  Members of the Area Committee expressed the view that this part of Geneva Road should be included within the scope of this package of works.

The report provides an update regarding progress on the acquisition by Compulsory Purchase Order of the property at 33 Swann Lane, Cheadle Hulme.  The report gives details of the negotiations with the owners; the legal process of acquiring the property; and the process the Council intends to use to dispose of the property.

The Area Committee is recommended to comment on and note the report.

Officer contact: George Perrin on 0161 474 4510 or email: george.perrin@stockport.gov.uk

A representative of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) providing an update on progress in respect of the acquisition by Compulsory Purchase Order of the property at 33 Swann Lane, Cheadle Hulme.  The report detailed the negotiations that had taken place with the owners of the property, the legal process of acquiring the property as well as the process that the Council intended to use to dispose of the property.

The following comments were made/ issues raised:-

·         The process of acquiring a property by means of a compulsory purchase order was lengthy and complex. 

·         It was anticipated that the Council would shortly assume title of the property, at which point the Council would seek to dispose of the property

·         Concern was expressed that the property may not be attractive to developers by virtue of the restrictions that had been placed on the potential nature of the redevelopment of the site.  In response it was stated that following a determination of the Planning Inspectorate to dismiss an appeal on a previous application for the demolition of the property and its replacement with three dwellings, it would be inappropriate to seek the reuse of the site for anything other than for a single dwelling on essentially the same footprint as the existing.

·         It was commented that this report had been brought to the Area Committee following concerns that had been expressed at the Environment & Economy Scrutiny Committee in relation to the length of time it had taken for the Council to acquire the property.  It was further commented that local councillors had expressed concerns in relation to the security and safety of the site which had subsequently been addressed.

·         It was suggested that consideration be given to re-examining the marketability of the site with a view to providing more flexibility in any future redevelopment to more readily facilitate its regeneration.  In response it was stated that officers would examine the possibility of introducing addition flexibility, however this may introduce additional delay and necessitate applications for further planning consents.

RESOLVED – (1) That the report be noted.

(2) That the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration be requested to submit a report to the next meeting of the Area Committee providing an update on the acquisition and subsequent disposal of 33 Swann Lane, Cheadle Hulme.

The Area Committee and members of the public are asked to comment on the key considerations arising from the Council’s Medium Term Financial Plan and provide suggestions as to how the Executive can best utilise the Committee to engage with local residents in their area.

The Area Committee and members of the public were requested to comment on the key considerations arising from the Council’s Medium Term Financial Plan and provide suggestions as to how the Executive could best utilise the Committee to engage with local residents in their area.

The following comments were made/ issues raised:-

·         The report contained only broad principles rather than specific budget proposals which made it difficult to engage members of the public in meaningful consultation.

·         It was stated in the report that a reduction in need for specialist services would be achieved through a reduction in demand and an increase in independence and resilience.  It was commented that this would be difficult to achieve in practice and there was no methodology included within the report on how this aim would be approached.

·         In order to meaningfully consult the public on the specific budget proposals, there needed to be a comprehensive publicity scheme and an increased period of notice provided.

·         A councillor had been contacted by a member of the public who had suggested that there were proposals to change the essential and casual car user allowances for staff and that they had concerns about the ability of officers to work in a safe and efficient manner should this element of employees’ terms and conditions be effected. 

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.

On 11 July 2016, the Communities and Local Government Committee launched an inquiry into public parks to examine the impact of reduced local authority budgets on these open spaces and consider concerns that their existence is under threat.   The Committee will look at how parks should be supported now and in the future.

As part of the Inquiry, the Committee has invited submissions of written evidence which need to be received by 30 September 2016.

This is the response submitted on behalf of the Council by the Leader of the Council (Councillor Alex Ganotis) and the Executive Councillor for Communities & Housing (Councillor Sheila Bailey).

The report is for information only as the deadline for submission means that it cannot now be amended.  However, any comments that Area Committees wish to make can be fed into the Council's own Open Spaces Review which is currently ongoing.

The Area Committee is recommended to comment on and note the response.

A representative of the Democratic Services Manager reported that on 11 July 2016, the Communities and Local Government Committee launched an inquiry into public parks to examine the impact of reduced local authority budgets on these open spaces and to consider concerns that their existence was under threat. 

A copy of the proposed response that would be submitted on behalf of the Council by the Leader of the Council (Councillor Alex Ganotis) and the Executive Councillor for Communities & Housing (Councillor Sheila Bailey) had been circulated to the Area Committee for comment.

The following comments were made/ issues raised:-

·         In response to the statement that the rationalisation of site maintenance could allow specific parks to receive more resource intensive maintenance, it was proposed that Bramhall Park, by virtue of its unique heritage status as the setting for Bramall Hall, should be included within this type of maintenance regime.

·         It was disappointing to see any reduction in the budget for parks, however the fact that the parks budget had reduced at a rate less than the reduction in the Council’s overall budget was to be welcomed.

·         The value of parks needed to be more widely recognised as they could often be the only opportunity for residents to exercise or enjoy amenity space, particularly in areas of terraced housing or where properties had small gardens.

·         Concern was expressed in relation to the proposal to dispose of areas of public open space.  In response it was suggested that this proposal related to plots of land which did not form part of a formal public park and which had little or no amenity value.

·         The suggestion that the provision of parks should become a statutory duty was welcomed.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
