1. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST Councillor Lynne Allen declared a general personal interest as a member of the Townfield Initiative. The interest was not prejudicial and she remained in the meeting. 3. NOTES OF MEETING HELD ON 7TH DECEMBER 2006 The notes of the meeting held on 7th December 2006 were agreed as a correct record. 4. MATTERS ARISING FROM NOTES OF 7TH DECEMBER 2006 The decisions of the Cabinet Member for Performance, Partnerships and Regeneration on the recommendations of the Panel were received. It was noted that the Cabinet Member had made an additional decision, the effect of which was to use the balance of funds available in 2007/08 of £16,000 to provide additional support to police activities on alley-gating, localised CCTV and anti-social mosquito units. 5. MEETING TO BE HELD IN PUBLIC The Panel agreed that all its business would take place in public. 6. PROJECT PROGRESS REPORT The Panel received a report setting out progress on schemes in the 2006/07 programme and confirming the approved programme for 2007/08. Updates were discussed at the meeting as follows :- HH89 – Botwell Green CCTV. It was reported that the gates to the court at Botwell Green that had been provided using money from a previous Chrysalis project, were not being locked as intended when the courts were not in use. It was agreed to follow this up and report back direct to Panel members and the Cabinet Member. UX89 – Ickenham Marshes. Works were now substantially complete except for the access point from the A40, where there were plans to install a stronger gate and install CCTV at the same time. A site visit with TfL had taken place and they had agreed in principle to the connection. A target date had been set for installation in June 2007. HH109 – Barnhill Skate Park. No site had yet been identified. Noise surveys were now required as part of any planning application and a distance of 150m from nearest buildings

was required. Following discussion it was agreed that the Residents Association be asked if they had any alternative ideas for activities for children in the area that could be considered for funding as a Chrysalis project and a further report be made to the next Panel meeting. RN120 – Ruislip Bowls Club. It was suggested that an approach be made to the local residents’ association requesting that they submit a bid for fencing to the Bowls Club and the duck pond. It was also suggested that contact be made with the Project Manager for the Manor Farm Heritage Project to ensure that there was a continuity of appearance for any fencing that might be installed from Chrysalis funding. A number of projects were due for completion in the near future and would therefore be completed within the financial year. The Chairman requested that an information sheet be prepared showing the year end position and listing all ongoing projects with their projected completion dates. RECOMMENDATIONS That the Cabinet Member for Improvement, Partnerships and Community Safety be recommended to : 1. Note progress made in implementing projects, including projected spend of funds by the end of the current financial year, as set out in Appendix 1 to the Environmental Improvements Panel report. 2. Consider the project updates listed in paragraphs 9 to 26 of the report to the Environmental Improvements Panel and Appendix A of this report and agree the recommendation to carry forward funding for anticipated slippage from 2006/7 to 2007/8. The meeting closed at 7.55 p.m.

Chrysalis Programme – Environmental Improvements Panel Project Progress Report – 3 July 2007 Contact Officer: Ian Geddes Telephone: 01895 277830 Summary This report reviews the outcome of the 2006/07 programme, considers the progress of ongoing projects and confirms the approved programme for 2007/8. Recommendations It is recommended that the Environmental Improvements Panel: 1. Notes the progress made in implementing projects, including projected

spend of funds by the end of the current financial year. (See Appendix 1).

2. Considers the project updates listed in paragraphs 9 to 21. 3. Refers any recommendations arising from this meeting to the Cabinet

Member for Improvement, Partnerships and Community Safety for endorsement.

Information 1. The bulk of the project progress information in this report is presented

as tables in Appendix 1. 2. Appendix 1 lists all those projects that were outstanding at the

beginning of 2007/08 together with progress notes, current spend and projected spend by the end of 2007/08.

3. Schemes are listed by constituency, and are followed by boroughwide

schemes, in relevant financial year order. The 2007/08 programme 4. The Chrysalis programme for 2007/8 was agreed at the December

2006 meeting and the budget of £900k was confirmed at the meeting of full Council on 22 February 2007. The programme is attached as Appendix 2. Members are reminded that £16k was left unallocated at the December meeting. The Cabinet Member for Improvement, Partnerships and Community Safety decided on 5 January 2007 that this balance be used to provide additional support to police activities

re. Alley gating, localised CCTV and implementation of anti social mosquito units. This is now shown in Appendices 1 and 2 as BW20.

Chrysalis programme outturn for year 2006/2007 5. Members may recall that the Chrysalis Programme Manager provided

an early assessment of the year end position and sent this out to Panel Members as an email attachment in April. The original slippage figure of £190k shown in that attachment has subsequently been adjusted to £203k and so the combined budget for 2007/8 is now £1103k. A contingency sum has been added (see paragraph 26) that results in a total budget of £1133k.

6. The Chrysalis programme last year consisted of two elements: projects

not completed and brought forward from previous years, and new projects approved as part of the 2006/2007 programme.

7. There were 30 projects approved as part of the 2006/07 programme,

together with 18 projects brought forward from previous years, giving a total of 48. Most of these are completed, with the exception of 15 projects rolling into 2007/08.

8. Projected slippage on some of these schemes was reported to the last

meeting. However, slippage on the majority of the projects listed was not anticipated. In particular, slippage on the 5 play areas was not anticipated and totals £127k. It is pointed out that many of the projects are now physically complete and their current status is described in Appendix 3.

The 15 projects referred to above are: REF PROJECT NAME TOTAL

UX89 Ickenham anti m’bike 22 15 7 HH96 Hayes Cricket store 10 8 4 TOTAL 203 Project updates 9. The following projects involve issues which need to be brought to

Members attention: 10. Barnhill Skate Park HH109 - Ofiicers from the Green Spaces team

have not yet been unable to identify a suitable site for a Skate Board facility within the area / ward identified. A large part of the difficulty is that, following delays in getting planning permission at the Pole Hill site, guidance from Environmental Protection Unit recommends that a 150m minimum distance from the nearest property is required. This makes it very difficult to identify locations / sites across the borough and not just in this case. Water table/drainage problems at the Greenway apparently preclude this site as a possibility, as building on a flood plain would require offsetting works that would eat up or possibly exceed, the budget available.

11. Two possible sites have recently been identified by a Ward Member

working with the Safer Neighbourhoods team. Officers will explore the suitability of these sites for either a skate board park, or failing that, play facilities for older children.

12. Ickenham Marshes anti-motorbike UX89 – fencing and gates on

Council land has been completed. Because of likely further delays in installing a CCTV system, the gate by the A40 has been strengthened and restored ahead of any additional security. It is hoped that anti vehicle bollards can be installed shortly and discussions have been undertaken with TfL who own the land.

13. Officers are still exploring how to overcome difficulties with fitting the

proposed CCTV system. Following meetings and correspondence with TfL and a prospective CCTV installer, it is clear that the organisation of the works necessary to install and power the CCTV system at the A40 entrance is considerable and likely to cost much more than originally anticipated. In the meantime, the effectiveness of the new A40 gate will be monitored.

14. Play areas – failure to complete the 5 play areas before the end of

March has contributed significantly to the funding required to be carried forward into 2007/8. Members will recall that 3 of these projects were approved at the December 2006 meeting so as to make use of unallocated funding arising from slippage elsewhere in the programme. The timescale was therefore challenging, although officers believed it was possible to complete both physically and financially, before the end

of March. Further information on the current status of these projects is contained in Appendix 3.

15. Members are advised that it is not good practice to start projects in the

last 3 months of the year if the intention is to complete in that year. Generally, when project planning, a start on site in the final quarter of the year for most projects is avoided for this reason. Some projects do start in the final quarter, however, either because of slippage from their original start date or because of the situation outlined above, where unallocated resources were identified late in the year. Should this situation recur, Members should consider whether they would prefer to reallocate in that year or request that the funding be carried forward to add to the budget in the following year. Officers will advise at the time and advice will be dependent upon the nature of the project, and any preparatory work that may already have been done. In general, however, it is suggested that the presumption should be against attempting to initiate major projects such as play areas late in the financial year. Should the funding be reallocated to the new year, this would allow officers more lead - in time to arrange the work and allow the work to be carried outside the Winter months when conditions are more favourable.

16. Rocket Park UX92 – Members will recall that this project involves the

restoration of an ageing play area with a view to creating an imaginative play area suitable for children of all abilities but where children with disabilities and their carers are particularly catered for. Because the partner charity, Karers4kidz, was unable to raise funding in 2006/7 this project was included in the 2007/8 programme. Members are advised that the Chrysalis Programme Manager has asked the charity to confirm that the match funding is in place by 31 July, after which time other options will need to be considered.

17. Alternative options may need to be considered because, if match

funding has not been resolved by the end of July, the project is in danger of slipping into another year. Alternatives could include agreeing to slip the project into next year, or designing a less ambitious, more conventional play area with the Chrysalis allocation of £60k. Alternatively, Members may wish to consider funding other projects, and are asked to indicate which course of action they would like to take should the full amount of match funding not be confirmed by the end of July.

18. Mad Bess Wood RN118 – Members will recall that this project has

been approved in principle for the 2008/09 programme. The Cabinet Member has requested that more information be provided on how the scheme will work in practice, and proposed outcomes.

19. A meeting with the bidder, a local charity Karers4kidz, has taken place

to clarify these issues. Members are reminded that the project revolves

around provision of a new toilet block to replace an existing one, disabled shower facilities in the remaining existing toilet block and associated works at a projected total cost of £60,000. It is K4K’s intention to book the camp for afternoon/evening periods from Monday to Thursday or Friday in the main as weekends are often fully booked over the Summer months. The intention is primarily to use the site and facilities as an after school club in the Summer and as an opportunity to increase family times and social opportunities for disabled children and their carers.

20. The Green Spaces Officer dealing with the project has confirmed his

support for the projected improvement measures as the Green Spaces Team currently receives pressure from users that the facilities on site are not adequate. It is confirmed that the procurement, commissioning and managing of the work on site would need to be undertaken by Council officers. Information on the likely timescale of the project and confirmation that it would require planning permission is awaited, as is confirmation of costs.

21. Community Safety and Police initiatives BW20 – Members are

informed that the Cabinet Member has to date approved 2 items for funding under this heading. These are a shopfront CCTV system at Glebe Avenue Ickenham and speed gun equipment for the Police at a combined cost of £9k.

Legal Comments 22. The Borough Solicitor has no comments to make on this report. Corporate Property Comments 23. The Head of Corporate Property Services has reviewed this report and

supports the recommendations.

Financial Implications

24. The Environmental Improvements Panel is being asked to note progress of current schemes and those carried forward from last year.

25. Appendix 1 reflects a revised budget figure of £1133k for the 2007/08

programme which includes an amount of £203k carried forward from 2006/7 to add to the £900k budget approved for the 2007/8 projects.

26. The programme for 2006/7 had an original budget of £900k, which was

revised to £1,207k by the year end. Spend to 31st March 2007 was £983k, an underspend of £224k. Of this £203k has been slipped to the main 2007/08 programme. An additional contingency of £30k has been set up for members to allocate during the year, resulting in a total

programme of £1133k in 2007 08. The residual £34k is to be transferred to 2008/09 as no funds have yet been approved for that year. This will be rectified in the next round of MTFF bids where the whole programme will be realigned to be “Fit for Purpose” for members and the needs of the wider community.

27. The Chrysalis Programme is a substantial programme which results in

a large level of accruals. This amounted to £150k in 2006/07. Any variance between spend will be transferred to the contingency.

28. Appendix 2 shows the approved programme for 2007/08.

29. Providing expenditure projections are achieved, the recommendations

have no further financial implications. Members are advised that the Cabinet Member for Finance and Corporate Services agreed earlier in the year to release Chrysalis Programme funding from the Council's moratorium on capital expenditure.
