1046 QUESTIONS PURSUANT TO COUNCIL
PROCEDURE RULE 8.2 -
Due notice had been given of the following
questions:
(i)
Question from Councillor Miss J. Cole
I was pleased to read in the Echo on the
8th April, an acknowledgement by Councillor Kemp of the
success of the current Vale of Glamorgan Coalition Cabinet in its
administration of the Council. Will the Leader please explain
why in her opinion, Councillor Kemp has made this welcome
admission.
Reply by the Cabinet Member for Policy
and Regeneration
I think that Councillor Kemp has made this
admission because he was the previous Cabinet Member for Social
Services before the Labour / Plaid / Independent Coalition rescued
the Social Services Department from financial disaster.
He was there as Cabinet Member when the
Community Wellbeing and Social Services Scrutiny Committee held its
public meeting. One person after another related their
stories of bed blocking, domiciliary care packages being cut or
withdrawn, letters to the Department being left unanswered, phone
calls being ignored and of course the massive overspend, which sat
like a giant toad on his party’s record. During it all he sat
there blinking at the audience like a rabbit in headlights with
absolutely nothing to offer because the then Leader of his party
and the previous Member for Social Services had taken their eyes
off the ball and just thrown money at the problem for three
years.
In contrast, this Coalition Administration, by
working together has brought discipline and accountability into the
Department. Team managers are responsible on a monthly basis
for what they spend. Working practices are sharper and
smarter and money has been saved without services suffering.
Councillor Kemp was asked to take over Social
Services and his remarks in the Echo may have been a Freudian slip,
but I believe deep down he knows that the Coalition Cabinet has
made a profound difference to the Service and to the lives of
vulnerable people out there who depend on us.
(ii)
Question from Councillor Ms. R.M. Birch
During our election campaign, I have been
pleased by the amount of interest in the School Investment
Strategy. Could the Cabinet Member for Education and Lifelong
Learning update us on its progress?
Reply from the Cabinet Member for
Education and Lifelong Learning
Davis Langdon, the Council’s external design
team are progressing plans for Cowbridge Comprehensive. They
aim to submit a planning application by July 2008. An
appropriate OJEU notice inviting expressions of interest from
contractors for the final design and actual construction of the
school has now been issued. The programme is on schedule for
the redeveloped school to open in September 2010.
Initial design work has also been started at
St. Cyres Comprehensive including the preparation of a master
plan. This will inform a bid that will be submitted in the
latter part of 2009 to the Welsh Assembly Government for additional
funding from 2010/11 to contribute towards the redevelopment of the
school. The Welsh Assembly Government have indicated that
further capital resources for school buildings may be available
from April 2010.
It is aimed to link the Llantwit Major
Comprehensive rebuild to the Metrix St. Athan development with
preliminary work starting in the near future.
I am pleased with the progress made and with
the public appreciation of that progress. I believe the
public appreciate our efforts and that they believe we will deliver
this project.
(iii)
Question from Councillor M.R. Wilson
Is it true that Monmouth Council has the
second highest Council Tax increase?
Reply from the Cabinet Member for
Finance, ICT and Property
The simple answer is yes. Monmouthshire
County Council had the second highest monetary increase in Wales of
£42.19, which equated to an increase percentage of 4.95%.
Supplemental
Councillor Wilson asked whether details of the
Council tax increases in the Vale of Glamorgan between 1999 and
2006 could be provided.
In reply, the Cabinet Member indicated that
the following increases had occurred:
1999/2000 (the last year that the Labour party
held office) - 6.57%
2000/2001 - 11.82%
2001/2002 - 9.95%
2002/2003 - 8.9%
2003/2004 - 9.95%
2004/2005 - 4.99%
2005/2006 - 4.67%
2006/2007 - 4.99%
2007/2008 - 4.5%
Councillor Moore referred to the current
administration as having increased Council tax by the lowest amount
for a number of years.
(iv)
Question from Councillor R.J. Bertin
Will the Cabinet Member please confirm how
much has been spent this year on the repairs and refurbishment to
our Council homes?
Can the Cabinet Member also inform us of the
number of homes that have had works carried out as part of the
Housing Investment Plan set in place by the coalition?
Reply from the Cabinet Member for
Housing and Community Safety
The accounts have not yet been closed but for
the last financial year 2007/08, the latest projection indicates
that £2.783m. has been spent on revenue repairs and £6.091m.
capital expenditure on major repairs and refurbishment including
Disabled Facilities Grants of £479k.
Our best estimate is that 2655 packages of
work have been implemented. However, because some properties
may have had more than one package of work, it is not possible to
precisely identify the total number of houses affected but I
estimate that at least half of the Council housing stock has had
some work carried out to it.
Tenants are very pleased with the work that
has been done and I am happy that we are progressing with the work
because the tenants deserve it to be carried out.
Supplemental
Councillor Bertin asked whether the Cabinet
Member could indicate why, in her opinion, she felt the Council’s
housing stock had been neglected under the previous Conservative
administration.
The Cabinet Member indicated that she agreed
that the Council housing stock required a lot of work to be
undertaken. She referred to the previous administration as
not having spent the MRI funding that had been available for this
purpose. She felt that everybody was entitled to a decent
home and pointed out that the funding provided by the Welsh
Assembly Government was now being utilised and that it would
continue to be so until the Council’s housing stock reached an
appropriate standard.
(v)
Question from Councillor M.R. Wilson
Which administration initiated the Penarth
Renewal Area?
Reply from the Cabinet Member for
Legal and Regulatory Services
The Consultants commissioned to undertake the
Neighbourhood Renewal Assessment for Penarth Central Renewal Area
were appointed in mid February 1999 during the previous Labour
Administration. Following their report and assessment, the
Penarth Central Renewal Area was formally declared on
1st November 2000 by the subsequent Administration.
(vi)
Question from Councillor R.J. Bertin
Can the Cabinet Member please give this
Council an update on the savings made during the last financial
year and can he give us some details about what is happening during
this financial year?
Reply from the Cabinet Member for
Social and Care Services
Last year, Cabinet agreed a Change Plan to
transform social services. This set a very ambitious target
of £6 million in savings over three years, to bring expenditure
back under control in the short-term and to achieve spending within
base budget in the longer-term. The aim was to balance
financial prudence with the need to avoid action that would have a
severely detrimental effect upon vulnerable service users and
people in need.
I think the stance that we have actually taken
is proof that we have delivered on that initiative. One
particular area that was out of control was that of DTOC
patients. The figure has been reduced from that under the
previous administration and we have been able to sustain that
reduced number.
I am pleased to report to Council that, with
considerable corporate support, the new Social Services Directorate
has responded exceptionally well to the need for better resource
management. In the final quarter of 2007/2008, the projected
overspend reduced month by month. The latest revenue
monitoring report at the end of February shows that the budget is
currently projected to outturn with a deficit of £231,00, a
reduction of £341,000 from the last reported figure. I am
still of the belief that the figure will reduce further when the
accounts are actually closed for the last financial year and that,
in itself, will be testament to what has been delivered for the
people of the Vale of Glamorgan by this current Cabinet. This
administration gave a commitment to making savings within Social
Services without affecting the services that were needed and we
have actually done so during the first year. I believe
everybody in the new coalition Cabinet has to be congratulated,
together with the officers who have worked extremely
hard.
We recognise that this is only Year 1 of a
three-year programme. Significant challenges remain if the
planned level of savings is to be achieved. Cabinet today
considered a report from the Director of Social Services setting
out proposals for efficiency savings in 2008/2009. This will
involve:
· better use of
supplementary funding, especially central government grants;
· increased income
generation, on the basis that improvements to administrative
processes are
increasing the level of income that is raised from charging for
services;
· efficiency
improvements, including full year benefits of the decision to award
a new
contract for the
Supported Housing service and some changes to the structure of
teams that provide
assessment and care management;
· service
reconfiguration, shifting away from expensive provision that
increases people’s
levels of dependency
to services that more effectively help vulnerable people and
those in need to
remain within their communities.
It is clear that people want to maintain their
independence and this Cabinet has been delivering in respect of
that issue.
Supplemental
Councillor Bertin sought reassurance from the
Cabinet Member that there had not been any cuts to Social
Services.
In reply, the Cabinet Member confirmed there
had been no cuts to services within the Directorate. He felt,
in fact, that, if anything, the Department had improved services
that residents received.
(vii)
Question from Councillor R.J. Bertin
Will the Cabinet Member please update this
Council on the progress made to help protect local residents from
flash flooding along the Coldbrook catchment area.
Reply from the Cabinet Member for
Visible and Building Services
A comprehensive survey has been undertaken of
the culvert along the Coldbrook catchment and works are shortly to
commence to remove items of debris that have been identified.
Drainage improvement works have been undertaken at the start of the
culvert at Merthyr Dyfan Lane in Barry. A new grill has been
constructed. In addition, ditching work has been undertaken
and is ongoing in Merthyr Dyfan Lane aimed at protecting properties
in Marloes Close. Meetings with residents within the area are
ongoing on a bi-monthly basis and our application to the Welsh
Assembly Government for grant funding for further flood alleviation
works is due to be submitted this month.
Supplemental
Councillor Bertin asked the Cabinet Member to
indicate how many times the culvert serving this catchment area had
been cleaned during the previous seven years of the Conservative
administration.
In reply, the Cabinet Member stated that the
culvert had not been cleaned during that period.
(viii)
Question from Councillor H.J. W. James
You will be aware of the ongoing concerns of
the residents of Rhoose Point regarding the lack of progress on the
adoption of the domestic drainage system. They are
particularly concerned that the carrier drain system was laid under
land of individual home owners prior to them purchasing their
houses and of course, as we all now are aware, they did not show up
in the local authority searches. Residents are still unaware
of what land and surface water carrier drains run through the
remainder of the Rhoose Point site and which homes are
affected.
Despite repeated questions at Council and
requests to officers of the Council for the overall site drainage
plans, they have not been obtained by this Council. I have
even written to the Director of Legal, Public Protection and
Housing Services to enquire what powers this Council has to demand
that these essential plans be produced. To date, without any
further progress. I am forced therefore, to ask specific
questions to try and build a picture for the residents of important
events surrounding the construction of the carrier drains in order
they can comply with the Housing Information Packs. As you
will be aware, this is a specific requirement relating to drainage
as laid down by recent government legislation. Specifically
therefore, I would like to ask the following:
1. What date was the
carrier drain and cascade system that intercepts the culverts
coming through the railway embankment at Rhoose Point constructed
and by whom?
2. Did the Welsh
Development Agency make a financial contribution towards the
construction costs?
3. Does this carrier
drainage system convey just surface water or surface and ground
water?
4. What date were the
perimeter drains that feed to the oil interceptor in the lower
quarry constructed and by whom?
5. Did the Welsh
Development Agency financially contribute towards the construction
cost of the perimeter drains?
6. Was the Vale Council
consulted on the carrier and perimeter drainage construction works
and did this Council in turn consult with the Environment
Agency?
Reply from the Cabinet Member for
Visible and Building Services
In terms of questions relating to the drainage
at Rhoose Point, I can advise you that officers are continuing to
hold detailed discussions with Cofton on outstanding drainage and
highway adoption matters at Rhoose Point. These meetings will
continue and are driven by the requirement to seek a conclusion as
soon as possible to all matters relating to the infrastructure at
Rhoose point.
With reference to the specific questions:
1. The carrier
drain, as I understand it was installed by Cofton, prior to the
disposal of the site to the various individual house builders and
prior to the subsequent disposal of individual plots to home
owners. In planning terms it is important to note that the
drain was in all probability constructed more than 4 years ago,
this time frame being relevant as the drain is now considered to be
immune from planning enforcement action.
2. The
involvement of the former Welsh Development Agency on Rhoose Point
was extensive, particularly on land reclamation issues. Councillor
James is best advised to contact the Welsh Assembly Government to
seek clarification on specific expenditure by the then WDA.
3. The main
purpose of the carrier drain is to carry surface water from land
north of the railway to the south. It is inevitable that some
land drainage will enter the system because of its nature but this
is not its main purpose.
4. It is thought
that the oil interceptors and connecting pipes existed prior to the
land being transferred to Cofton and to the other developers in the
area.
5. The WDA
contributed to the reclamation of the whole area and therefore
there may have been a contribution to such drainage.
6. No
consultation took place with the Council and therefore no
discussions took place with the Environment Agency. I
understand that the existence of this drainage system came to light
as a result of a Building Regulation Notification.
Discussions are ongoing between the Council
and Cofton with a view to seeking resolution of drainage issues,
and officers will report on these matters as the discussions are
concluded. In this regard Councillor James is well aware that
there are two outstanding Planning Committee applications that
require determination and Planning Committee deferred consideration
of the two applications in March to enable discussions to continue
on highway access and drainage adoption.
(ix)
Question from Councillor H.J.W. James
You will be aware that Cabinet on
6th June 2007, agreed the detailed report of the
Director of Environmental and Economic Regeneration in which it was
stated that individual householders who have carrier drains running
through their land are individually responsible.
1. Can you advise if
all the homeowners who are affected by these carrier drains within
the curtilage of their property have been formally advised of these
circumstances by this Council?
2. If they have not
been advised by this Council, is it because of the lack of laid
site drainage plans which would be essential to be able to identify
the homes affected?
3. If the individual
homeowners are unaware of whether or not there have been carrier
drains running through their property they could well be completing
Home Information Packs that are not in compliance with the legal
requirement and surely you must agree that this is not a
satisfactory situation?
Reply from the Cabinet Member for
Visible and Building Services
I would advise Councillor James that it is not
the Council’s responsibility to inform homeowners of such
matters. This is an issue for the homeowners and their
solicitors.
Regardless of the plans available to the
Council, it is up to the house purchasers to avail themselves of
any relevant information connected to the purchase. Land
drainage does not appear on a land search, therefore, detailed
plans of such would not have helped in this case.
Again, on the issue of homeowners’ pack
details, this is an issue for the homeowners and their legal
advisers.
Supplemental
Councillor James, in referring to the fact
that the carrier drain had been built without the benefit of
planning permission and, consequently, did not show in property
searches, asked whether the Cabinet Member agreed that the
situation was unsatisfactory and should be rectified for the
future.
In reply, the Cabinet Member indicated that
whilst possibly not satisfactory, there was very little the Council
could do to rectify the situation. He reiterated his earlier
comments and pointed out the fact that Councillor James had had the
opportunity of addressing such issues during his time as Leader of
the Council.
(x)
Question from Councillor H.J.W. James
You will recall that the Cabinet approved a
detailed report from the Director of Environmental and Economic
Regeneration on the Council’s handling of the complex matters
relating to Rhoose Point on 6th June 2007. Cabinet
approved the report in its entirely and that included a
recommendation that a further report be submitted to the
Cabinet. Indeed, one Member of the Cabinet proposed, and it
was accepted, that it should be submitted no later than November
2007. To date, this subsequent report has not been submitted
to the Cabinet and Cabinet have not formally discussed the matter
again.
You will be aware that I have asked questions
at Council on behalf of the residents of Rhoose Point seeking to
discover when this report was to be submitted and why it has not
been progressed. To date, nearly a year later, we are still
awaiting this report. I feel it is unfair on our Planning
Officers and Members of the Planning Committee who are expected to
give proper consideration to further development of two sites at
Rhoose Point in the absence of the key information that was to be
the subject of this further report.
1. Can you advise
me why this report has not been submitted to Cabinet and what you
or your Cabinet colleagues have done to pursue the report?
2. Given Cabinet’s
failure to progress or consider this crucial report since
6th June 2007 (nearly a year ago), do you think the
Members of the Cabinet should now accept full responsibility for
their lack of resolution of all the outstanding matters at Rhoose
Point?
Reply from the Cabinet Member for
Visible and Building Services
Councillor James will be aware that issues
with the adoption of highways and drainage have been ongoing at
Rhoose Point since at least 2005.
The Cabinet report tabled in June 2007, was
the first substantive report to detail the position at Rhoose Point
in respect of highway and drainage matters. The report
detailed Planning and Section 106 issues, highway adoption matters,
drainage issues, legal agreements and land transfer
arrangements. All matters have progressed to some extent
since the time of the report, though as Councillor James will be
well aware, such development issues take time to reach a
conclusion. Whilst I do not deny that a further report to
Cabinet is required, I did not wish such a report to show just
progress on the matters previously detailed. I wished the
report to identify specific dates for highway adoption and land
transfers, which in my view is the most important information for
residents of Rhoose Point, and would give them the comfort that
they have sought for so long.
I meet with the Head of Visible Services on a
weekly basis when issues at Rhoose Point are always
discussed. I am satisfied that officers are doing everything
possible to progress matters, though as Councillor James well
knows, some of the issues, for example adoption of sewers, are not
within their full control. I will ensure that a further
report is produced for Cabinet when there are relevant substantive
matters to report. With the detailed work that officers are
currently undertaking with the developer, I would suggest that this
should be during the summer of 2008.
I will not accept that this Cabinet is
responsible for the absence of a resolution to outstanding matters
at Rhoose Point. I would remind Councillor James of the
progress that has been made recently on the development as regards
the surfacing of the highway network. This work has enabled
one of the final stage highway safety audits to be undertaken and
the results of this audit are expected soon.
Supplemental
Councillor James asked what action had
resulted from the presentation of DVD evidence submitted to the
Cabinet and whether all Members of the Cabinet had seen the
evidence.
In reply, the Cabinet Member confirmed that
the DVD had been copied and forward to each Member of the
Cabinet. He had personally viewed the DVD. He alluded
to the fact that many of the matters at Rhoose Point were outside
the Council’s control with Welsh Water, along with Cofton bearing
some responsibility for holding up issues. He indicated that
officers were doing their utmost to resolve issues and that he was
hoping to have a resolution to this matter during the Summer.
1047 WELSH LANGUAGE SCHEME (CE)
-
Cabinet on 7th June 2006, had
agreed a draft revised Welsh Language Scheme and resolved that it
be submitted to the Welsh Language Board for approval.
Further reports were considered by Cabinet on 18th
October 2006 and 23rd May 2007, together with further
amendments received from the public and the Welsh Language
Board.
Following the submission to the Welsh Language
Board of a draft Scheme for approval, the Council was informed that
the Scheme had been approved on 10th March 2008.
The Scheme was submitted to the Council for
endorsement.
RESOLVED - T H A T the revised Welsh Language
Scheme and the Work Programme set out in the accompanying Action
Plan be endorsed.
1048 SCRUTINY COMMITTEES’ ANNUAL
REPORT / WORK PROGRAMME -
The report, as submitted by the Chairmen of
the Council’s four Scrutiny Committees, highlighted the work of the
Committees during 2007/08 and incorporated statistical information
and a summary of issues considered. Whilst the Wales Audit
Office had acknowledged that the Council had “made significant
progress in developing the scrutiny function”, the Council itself
had also embarked upon a further two year Scrutiny Action Plan
designed to ensure scrutiny momentum was maintained.
All four Scrutiny Committee Chairmen spoke on
the work undertaken during the year. Councillor James, as
Chairman of the Scrutiny Committee (Corporate Resources) considered
all the Committee Members and associated officers to have worked
extremely diligently, sometimes under difficult circumstances,
during the year. He alluded to the reduction in support
available from the Improvement and Development Team, given their
involvement in addressing Social Services Change Plan
issues. He felt Members to have worked very well
together, including on the various Task and Finish Groups
established. He referred in particular, to the work of the
Committee in respect of:
· a
protocol for Ward Member consultation
· addressing issues raised by
the Wales Audit office regarding sickness levels within the
Council.
Councillor Hodges, as Chairman of the Scrutiny
Committee (Economy and Environment) also referred to the Committee
having had a busy year. He expressed his gratitude to the
Vice-Chairman, other Members and officers as well as the Cabinet
members for their involvement in the work of the Committee.
Councillor Mrs. M.E.J. Birch, as Chairman of
the Scrutiny Committee (Community Wellbeing and Safety) expressed
her appreciation of the contribution of all Members and officers
involved in the work of the Committee. She considered the
Social Services Change Plan to be progressing successfully and also
referred to the work undertaken by the Task and Finish Groups set
up by the Committee. She considered the year to have been a
busy, yet enjoyable, one.
Councillor A.D. Hampton, as Chairman of the
Scrutiny Committee (Lifelong Learning) referred to the number of
meetings which had been held in schools, providing an opportunity
to interact with Headteachers and staff. He alluded to the
excellent work of officers in addressing issues arising from the
flooding which had occurred during the year. He also thanked
his Vice-Chairman, other Members and officers for their
contributions.
RESOLVED - T H A T the Scrutiny Committees’
Annual Report for 2007/08 be noted.
1049 LOCAL AUTHORITIES (MODEL CODE
OF CONDUCT) (WALES) ORDER 2008 -
