Challenges – Delivering “more for less”

• A deep economic recession that led to economic restructuring,

residual higher levels of unemployment, particularly among young people

• An urban infrastructure that has grown piecemeal & rising population is

putting pressure on housing, energy & transport networks;

• The paradigm shift towards online entertainment and internet

retail services is changing the fundamental nature of consumerism and

with it the role of the City Centre

• An ageing population is placing an increasing burden on health and

social care services

• Austerity measures have seen public sector budgets reduce, on

average, by an estimated 40 % since 2010.

• Many of the City Councils own IT legacy systems are no longer fit for

purpose

Hull like other Cities in the UK is currently facing a wide range of challenges that are

driving change – some examples:

Delivering a successful inclusive and smart economy

• Securing economic growth as a

prerequisite

• Ensuring Hull’s residents

have the right skills and opportunities

• Focussing on jobs

• Keeping people in Hull, graduate

retention

• Intervening to bring excluded

groups into the economy

• creating opportunities for SMEs and

supporting their growth

• Diversifying the employment base

• Ensuring access to jobs, housing,

education and healthcare

• Instilling greater personal

responsibility

• Safeguarding the public purse by

avoiding hidden (social and care) costs of

failure

The imperative for change: Smarter thinking

• Expectation on Hull City Council to provide leadership,

strategic direction and support

• Accept that total public resource envelope has

permanently decreased – The Yorkshire Forward

resources do not exist in the LEP, plus wider cuts to

public services continue to take effect.

• The need for collaborative working across public

agencies and across sectors has never been greater

• Not just a City Council issue – there needs to be a

wider family of Hull organisations that can support this

agenda (LEP, university, health, police, fire, schools,

colleges, Government and business groups)

Conclusion1. Recognise that the role of the City Council is to provide

leadership and act an enabler / facilitator to accelerate opportunities

2. The City has considerable challenges and needs to address competing priorities but addressing these issues are essential

3. Hull City Council should agree a smart city vision for the City that focuses on enterprise and centres around improving the quality of life of citizens

4. Undertake a needs assessment of what exists and create a roadmap of what needs to be done

5. Work with key partners to enable interoperability and integration of siloed city systems and develop a genuine commitment to enhance digital enabled services

6. Put in place the key pillars to enable Hull to become a test bed for new innovation and experimentation

7. Develop a smart city initiative to establish an ecosystem that fosters the creation and co-creation of new applications and services by local social and business entrepreneurs and SMEs
