410 WELCOME -
Mrs. Russon, Headteacher of Fairfield Primary
School, welcomed all present to the school, and introduced the
Committee to Mr. Thomas, Deputy Headteacher.
By way of background, Committee were advised
that the school had been built in 1953 to accommodate 153
pupils. The school had been remodelled since then, including
the provision of two demountables, and now accommodated 271 pupils
in 12 classes.
Having been built in 1953, there had been a
number of issues arising with regard to the fabric of the building,
and the school had received new windows and had been
re-wired. The school was on the waiting list to receive a new
roof.
The school had extensive grounds, part of
which were devoted to a conservation area. Saplings had been
ordered to commemorate the late John Birch, former Governor of
the school.
Since being Headteacher, the school had
received two good inspection reports, the last being in 2004.
Mrs. Russon praised the staff of the School
Improvement Service, with whom she worked closely.
The Chairman thanked Mrs. Russon for the
hospitality shown to the Committee, and for the opportunity for
Members to view the school.
411 BARRY TOWN HALL -
EXHIBITION AREA (MINUTE NO. C3198) -
The above matter had been considered by
Cabinet on 19th September, 2007 at which the following
resolutions of Minute No. C3156 had been reaffirmed,
·
that the option to introduce a Coffee Shop / Bar facility within
the Exhibition Area be agreed in principle
·
that a marketing exercise be carried out to gauge the quality of
potential providers of the Coffee Shop / Bar facility
·
that an examination be made of the Library service taking
responsibility for the remaining Exhibition Area
·
that the capital and revenue costs of operating the Exhibition /
Coffee Shop / Bar area be identified in full and reported back to
Cabinet.
That decision had been called-in by Councillor
Mrs. M. Kelly Owen “to prevent any diminution of this excellent Art
Space. Given the weak level of demand for a coffee bar at the
County Library, as opposed to any other location in the King Square
area or Holton Road, there is a serious need to allow thorough
scrutiny of what impact, now and in the long term, the loss of such
an excellent, dedicated, Art and Exhibition space will have on the
social and educational opportunities of the residents of the Vale
of Glamorgan and its children in particular, in all aspects of
their visual arts development, appreciation and enjoyment, and for
many, their future careers in the field of the Arts, or where good
design is recognised as so vital in international markets.
The very many excellent artists based in the Vale of Glamorgan, who
already work within our schools, are crying out for appropriate
gallery space to exhibit their work and reinstate the reputation of
the area as one where artists may thrive and delight the public
with their work. To reduce such excellent space at a stroke,
when people have heard so little about it since it was opened, is
unacceptable and deserves much deeper consideration and
examination, since once lost, it will never be regained.”
Mrs. E. Allan and Mrs. G. Price had been
invited to attend the meeting in order that they may address the
Committee and contribute to the debate.
Councillor Mrs. M. Kelly Owen reiterated the
reasons for her “call-in” and stated that she wished to ensure that
the young of the County were not denied the rights that they
deserved. The Council had a duty to ensure the public was
provided with the best quality art provision.
Councillor Kelly Owen requested Committee to
request Cabinet to reconsider its decision, and not downgrade the
facilities of the former Town Hall.
Mrs. Allan felt that the loss of 30% of the
Gallery space was excessive. Further, as a result of Health
and safety and Disability requirements, together with the need for
space for prams, etc, the total space would exceed 30%.
Furthermore, Mrs. Allan referred to the
potentially disastrous combination of steam and paintings.
The Town Hall exhibition area presented a wonderful education
resource which offered a high degree of flexibility and
multiple-uses. Many schools had been excited at the
possibility of being able to exhibit their work.
There was a natural contact between the worlds
of commerce and art which formed part of any vigorous and thriving
community.
Mrs. Allan also expressed the view that to
downgrade the exhibition area would affect the present (excellent)
light levels and would create additional noise. This would
deter major artists from exhibiting their work.
Mrs. Price, as Vice-Chairman of the Women’s
Arts Association, Wales stated that she shared Mrs. Allan’s
views. The Exhibition Area was well designed and lit - it was
“superb”. To lose 30% of the area would mean there was
insufficient room to exhibit some of the larger pieces.
Committee were reminded that no decision on
the proposals had been taken. It had been proposed that an
evaluation process be conducted following the completion of the
marketing exercise.
By way of clarification, Committee were
advised it was proposed that the kitchen area would not be sited
within the Exhibition area, thus preventing any problems arising
with steam.
Committee were also informed that the
Exhibition area had been in use for 34 of the past 48 weeks and
that visitor numbers were tentatively estimated at 13,372.
Further discussions ensued, and a number of
views were expressed, including:
-
the large number of coffee shops already in existence in the
immediate vicinity of the former Town Hall
-
the former Town Hall had only been open for “a few months” and that
the decision of Cabinet was premature
-
the high level of public opposition to the proposals
-
it was likely that any coffee shop provider would then wish to
supply food products
-
the original marketing exercise had canvassed the views of a mere
100 or so individuals
-
concern was expressed at the likelihood of the Library
service staff taking over responsibility of the remainder of the
Exhibition Area
-
had planning permission been sought for the proposed change of
use?
-
Members questioned whether the toilets would be freely available to
the coffee shop patrons.
(Councillors N.J. Gibbs and Mrs. M. Kelly Owen
spoke with the consent of the Committee.)
RECOMMENDED - T H A T Cabinet be asked to
reconsider its decision as contained in Minute No. C3198, with a
view to the proposals being withdrawn.
Reason for recommendation
To enable Cabinet to consider the views of the
Scrutiny Committee (Lifelong Learning) in view of the overwhelming
rejection of this proposal as expressed at the meeting.
412 YOUTH PROVISION IN
PENARTH -
Councillor M.R. Wilson had requested that
Committee receive a report looking at past youth provision in
Penarth, present provision and possible future provision.
Committee were advised of the levels of Youth
Provision in 1987, a time at which the budget stood at £269,330 at
today’s prices. The provision at that time stood at:

·
Albert Road closed 1999
·
Cogan Junior School Youth Club closed 1991
·
Sully Junior School Club closed 1991
·
Wesley Court Youth club closed 2004

community activities
·
Byrd Crescent open three nights a week and weekends
·
Chill out space at Penarth Leisure Centre and sports youth work
underway at weekend

annoyance in a longer term way.
Discussions ensued on the role of the PULSE
Project. Councillor M.R. Wilson stated that he felt its
services would be quite useful in Penarth where the problem of
graffiti was becoming more serious.
By way of explanation, Members were informed
that PULSE was a Lottery funded project comprising one full time
and four part time staff. It was impossible to cover all
areas of the Vale all of the time, and a rotation system had been
developed. Under this system, Penarth would be visited
soon.
Members also referred with regret to the
demise of the Stanwell Youth Centre in 1997.
Members also enquired as to why Emmanuel
Church was unable to use the Sports Hall at Penygarth School.
Members were advised that the Youth Service was not able to fund
the £50 per session cost.
Members also referred to the problems
experienced by the Youth Service as a result of its staff being
attracted to work for neighbouring Councils as a result of higher
salaries and career opportunities.
Members agreed that the report on Youth
Provision in Penarth had been highly informative, and the wish was
expressed for a similar report on the Youth Service provision
throughout the whole of the Vale of Glamorgan.
(Councillor M.R. Wilson spoke with the consent
of the Committee.)
RECOMMENDED - T H A T, following the
forthcoming Estyn Review, Committee receive a report on Youth
Provision throughout the Vale of Glamorgan.
Reason for recommendation
To advise Committee of the levels of Youth
Provision throughout the Vale of Glamorgan.
413 CORPORATE PLAN
MONITORING (CMT) -
The report summarised the progress that had
been made on actions contained in the Vale of Glamorgan Council’s
Corporate Plan for 2006-2010.
The Chief Executive had reported to Cabinet,
identifying which Members and officers were responsible for each
target and action in the Corporate Plan 2006-2010. The
schedules attached to the report provided the Scrutiny Committee
with an update on progress that had been achieved in 2006/07.
It was noted that the code against the key
target “Maintain the percentage of 15/16 year olds leaving
full-time education without a recognised qualification at no more
than 1% by 2007” be a L.
It was also noted that the Lead Officer listed
for Inclusion and Access reference numbers LL6, LL7 and LL8 had
retired and it would be necessary to allocate a replacement officer
to take responsibility for these actions.
RECOMMENDED - T H A T the progress made on
implementing the Council’s Corporate Plan 2006-2010, as identified
in the schedules appended to the report, be accepted.
Reason for recommendation
To ensure the Corporate Plan is effectively
monitored.
414 REVENUE AND
CAPITAL MONITORING FOR THE PERIOD 1ST APRIL, 2007
TO 31ST AUGUST, 2007 (DLD) -
Committee’s attention was drawn to the
position in respect of Revenue and Capital expenditure for the
period 1st April, 2007 to 31st August, 2007
regarding those Revenue and Capital Budgets which formed the
Committee’s remit.
The projected outturn for the 2007/08 Revenue
Budget was shown in comparison with the Budget at Appendix 1 to the
report. Current forecast was for a balanced budget for the
Directorate.
Schools - The delegated budget relating to
schools was expected to balance as any under/overspend was carried
forward by schools.
Education Service - As had been reported
previously, potential overspends on budgets including schools
maternity provision were likely to be offset by underspend in
school transport budget. Also the previously reported
efficiency savings of £267,000 on the service at the year end were
likely to be needed to fund overspends elsewhere in the
Directorate.
The following grants had been received from
the Welsh Assembly Government for:
Learning pathways 14-19; £30,000 to secure a secondment to
provide a local network quality development champion
Raising attainment and individual standards in education (RAISE)
for looked after children; £35,368 to facilitate educational
support of the sort that parents would normally provide.
The Library service was projected to outturn
on target.
As previously reported, a review of the
Lifelong Learning service indicated that the anticipated savings
were not accruing and that the service was currently facing a
potential overspend at year end of £147,000. This was due to
a delay in starting the new learning programmes to the economically
inactive and the low enrolments over the summer period (£51k.),
unbudgeted premises costs at the Heritage Skills Centre (£9k.), and
the uncertainty of future funding sources of the Vale Learning
Network (£87k.). Actions would be implemented in an effort to
reduce this figure and consequently reduce the support needed from
the Strategy and Performance Budget. Any variations would be
reported in future monitoring reports.
The Catering Service was projected to outturn
with an adverse variance of £120,000. This was due to the
reduced meal numbers not recovering to the previous levels and
additional cost pressures of food and staff resources resulting
from the implementation of Welsh Assembly Nutritional
Guidelines. The service was currently being reviewed in order
to achieve a balanced budget.
In relation to the Capital Programme, Appendix
2 to the report detailed the financial progress on the Programme as
at 31st August, 2007 and Appendix 3 to the report
provided non-financial information on capital schemes.
Members expressed the view that they would
welcome a report to a future meeting of the Committee on the
general operation, including funding, of the Breakfast Clubs within
the Vale of Glamorgan.
RECOMMENDED -
(1) T H A
T the position with regard to the 2007/08 Revenue and Capital
Monitoring be noted.
(2) T H A
T a report on the operation of Breakfast Clubs within the Vale of
Glamorgan, such report to also include details of the funding, be
brought before the January 2008 meeting of this Committee.
Reason for recommendation
(1) That
Members are aware of the position with regard to the 2007/08
Revenue and Capital Monitoring relevant to this Scrutiny
Committee.
(2) To
advise the Committee.
415 FOUNDATION PHASE
(DLD) -
Committee were advised of the arrangements for
the introduction of the Foundation Phase as requested at its last
meeting.
Much research evidence had highlighted that
the early introduction of formal teaching could result in some
children under-achieving and attaining lower standards. The
National Assembly had decided to introduce a new curriculum for 3 -
7 year olds.
This curriculum was known as the Foundation
Phase.
It was the amalgamation of the curriculum for
children pre-compulsory school age - the Desirable Outcomes and the
Key Stage One National Curriculum and comprised of seven areas of
learning:
·
personal and social development, wellbeing and cultural
diversity
·
language, literacy and communication skills
·
mathematical development
·
Welsh language development
·
knowledge and understanding of the World
·
physical development
·
creative development.
The Foundation Phase curriculum aimed to
“excite and stimulate children’s learning, improve their attainment
and secure the best possible start for all children in
Wales”.
Its introduction would allow more time for
children to follow an appropriate curriculum and help them to gain
the important skills and attitudes that laid solid foundations for
future learning.
At the centre of this curriculum would be the
holistic development of the child. This would be promoted
through good quality structured and child initiated play
activities, first hand experiences and the ability of all adults,
working with the child, to build upon previous learning, skills and
knowledge.
The National roll out was originally planned
for 2007. However, it had now been decided to phase its
introduction:
·
September 2008 - Nursery and Reception children (3 to 5 years)
·
September 2009 - Year 1 children (5 to 6 years)
·
September 2010 - Year 2 children (6 to 7 years).
In 2004, a National Pilot was conducted in 42
settings across Wales.
There were two settings in the Vale of
Glamorgan, Holton Primary School, Barry and Cylch Meithrin Y Bont
Faen.
An evaluation of the National Pilots
demonstrated an improvement in attendance, behaviour and children’s
motivation for learning.
The National Assembly have now introduced
Early Start Settings. Schools who will introduce the
Foundation Phase a year early.
In the Vale of Glamorgan, there were two such
settings, Cadoxton Primary School and Cadoxton Nursery School.
RECOMMENDED - T H A T the content of the
report be noted.
Reason for recommendation
To apprise Members of the Foundation Phase
proposals.
416 SCHOOL INVESTMENT
STRATEGY - UPDATE (DLD) -
Committee received an update with regard to
progress on the School Investment Strategy.
The School Investment Strategy incorporated
the rebuild / redevelopment of the three secondary schools,
Cowbridge, St. Cyres and Llantwit Major, as well as building
improvements in all other Nursery, Primary, Secondary and Special
Schools.
Davis Langdon were appointed as the
Authority’s Design Team / External Consultants in September,
following the appropriate tendering processes undertaken in
accordance with the relevant legislation.
Work was currently on-going to identify the
necessary required resources to support delivery of the
strategy. Resources already identified included existing
capital receipts, Welsh Assembly Government grant and elements of
the Council’s supported borrowing programme. However, there
was still a significant shortfall to be addressed.
A scope of work was currently being prepared
so that Davis Langdon could commence their design work. The
phasing of the construction work would be dictated by affordability
and the availability of resources.
The Lower Cowbridge School site at Townmill
Road represented a potential capital receipt when the school was
re-developed at the Aberthin Road site. Prior to Christmas
2006 the Charity Commission had indicated that they would not
sanction the contribution of the proceeds from the sale of Trust
Land to the development of the new school either directly or via a
land exchange. They believed they would be discharging the
Council of its statutory responsibility in terms of providing
school buildings. Subsequent Counsel opinion suggested it may
be possible to challenge this stance, however, there was no
certainty of the outcome of any such challenge. Before
incurring further external costs, the Council’s Legal Department
had been assessing the implications of the Counsel opinion.
Parental representatives of Cowbridge School had indicated their
willingness to support the Council in challenging the viewpoint of
the Charity Commission.
RECOMMENDED - T H A T the report be noted.
Reason for recommendation
To update Members with respect to the School
Investment Strategy.
417 SCRUTINY COMMITTEE
- TRACKING OF RECOMMENDATIONS (DLPPHS) -
Members were informed of the progress in
relation to recommendations made during the period April - June
2007 and their views requested relating to the progress against
each recommendation, whether further action might be required, to
ensure the required action had been undertaken and confirm those
actions which had been completed. The requirement of
reporting in the current system of tracking recommendations was a
direct result of a recent Scrutiny Review which had recommended
that Scrutiny progress needed to be more transparent, accountable
and readily understood. It was the intention that such
tracking reports be submitted to Scrutiny Committees on a quarterly
basis. Members agreed that it was important to note that the
decisions of Scrutiny Committees were tracked and monitored in such
a way since failure to do so could result in a risk that
recommended courses of action would not be followed and
consequently “lost” which would, in turn, undermine the credibility
of the Scrutiny process. The Committee’s views on the status
of the actions were therefore requested. Members were pleased
to receive the report which formally provided them with the
up-to-date position on their recommendations.
Having considered the report, it was
