He commented on how much he enjoyed attending the local events; (b) thanked the Mayoress for her support and also the Deputy Mayor who had undertaken a number of engagements on his behalf recently whilst he had been away; (c) welcomed Members’ attendance at the forthcoming Civic Service on 4 March and thanked Councillors Freer-Jones, Greenow and Posnett for agreeing to participate in the prayers; (d) reminded Members about the Fly the Flag for the Commonwealth Day at Parkside on Monday 12 March; (e) encouraged members to support Councillor Greenow who was in training to run a marathon in aid of the Tommy’s Charity for research into saving babies lives; (f) referred to the visit that evening from the Melton 5th Scout Group which he had hosted before the meeting and welcomed the group who had stayed to learn about how a council meeting was run.

LEADER'S ANNOUNCEMENTS Minutes: The Leader reported on the following matters: (a) Peer Challenge report: to be covered later on the agenda but he wished to inform Members that the new Local Government Minister, Rishi Sunak MP, had recently said that the Government was very keen that all local councils host a peer challenge. In that regard, Melton Borough was a step ahead. He expressed his gratitude for the insights the peer team had provided and for the acknowledgement of the things the Council was doing well, as well as those things it needed to change if it was to improve and modernise how it worked. For the Peer Challenge to have real value, however, the Council needed to respond. The report later in the agenda set out how it might do that; (b) the Council was at a crucial time in relation to procuring a new waste collection contract. The details of the process were commercially sensitive and the matter would be considered as an exempt item later on the agenda. However, he wished to publicly commend officers and members of the working group for the work they had done in getting the Council to this point; (c) Following a recent external assessment, the Council had for the second year secured Customer Service Excellence accreditation. This recognised the commitment the Council had to excellent customer services and its desire to continue improving. Key strengths identified were a strong customer focussed ethos and one that ensure specific support to vulnerable people. Colleagues worked hard to go the extra mile and want to support the residents with all their needs and not simply refer them on to someone else. However, the Leader stressed there was more work to be done and the Council was not complacent: the recent corporate restructure would help the Council re-shape its people based service and ensure it better managed transactional issues efficiently, as well as providing more joined up support for those with complex needs. Following the national increase in planning fees, the recent decision to boost resources in the planning team would improve the development control services. The Council was also continuing to look at how it could make the best use of technology to enable people to access services when and how they want. He looked forward to sharing more about these developments with Members in due course. |

Minutes: The Leader presented the report prepared by the Director for Corporate Services, as circulated with the agenda, concerning the calculation and setting of the Council Tax for 2018/19, as required under the Local Government Finance Act 1992. Members’ attention was drawn to an amended Appendix C which had been circulated at the meeting due to some rounding issues in the original document. In proposing the recommendation as set out in the order paper, the Leader reported that at its meeting held the previous evening, the Leicestershire County Council had set it precept which represented a 5.99% increase for an average Band D Council Tax.

Overall, this represented an average increase of 5.57% which equated to an additional 1.8p per day for a Band D property. The increase in the parish precept for Garthorpe of 412.98% was highlighted. The motion was then seconded by Councillor Higgins. In accordance with
Procedure Rule 15.5(b), a recorded vote was then taken.

LEICESTER AND LEICESTERSHIRE STRATEGIC GROWTH PLAN: CONSULTATION RESPONSE PDF 76 KB The Assistant Director for Strategic Planning & Regulatory Services to submit a report which invites the Council to make comments on the Strategic Growth Plan (SGP) for Leicester and Leicestershire as part of its consultation exercise. Additional documents:
Minutes: Members had before them a report prepared by the Assistant Director of Strategic Planning & Regulatory Services which invited the Council to make comments on the Strategic Growth Plan (SGP) for Leicester & Leicestershire as part of its consultation exercise. In presenting the report, the Leader (a) reminded Members of the early draft SGP which was present to the Council at its December meeting for which approval had been sought to go out to consultation. This had been agreed by all parties and consultation had started in January. Comments were being submitted and an early sight of these included: · Support for growth in Melton – and some opposition · Potential to improve public transport links to major centres · Need to relieve congestion · Potential role as a centre for rural industries · Relatively isolated location, lack of job opportunities · Impact on historic centre and current traffic congestion (b) reported that the Council’s consultation arrangements had been completed as set out in the report and a drop in exhibition had been arranged for 14 March; (c) explained that the SGP set out an approach to the delivery of growth and infrastructure in the Leicester and Leicestershire area to 2050. This followed objectives of developing Leicester as the ‘core city’ but with growth points elsewhere in the County of which Melton Mowbray was one. The SGP proposed a level of growth commensurate with the Council’s Own Local Plan, but maintaining that going beyond the plan’s horizons after 2036; (d) emphasised that the main purpose of the report was to allow this Council to make its own contribution. The Council had commented at the draft stage and it was pleasing to note that these comments had been picked up in the Consultation Draft version. This included: · The importance for Melton of connectivity to larger centres · The proximity to the proposed A46 expressway · The importance of broadband and other digital infrastructure · Steering development pressures to major growth areas and away from villages (e) stated that with this background he was happy to commend the SGP to the Council in its current form. The document would come back to the Council after the consultation process had finished and this was expected to be in late 2018; (f) concluded by commenting on the relationship between the Local Plan and the SGP in the light of the recent Examination. There was clearly some uncertainty about the content of the Local Plan until the Examination result was known – one aspect of this being the level of growth in Melton Mowbray. There was a risk, believed to be quite small, that the proposed growth for Melton Mowbray may be reduced as a result of the Examination; several parties had argued to this effect. If this were to happen, the existing strong synergy between the Local Plan and the SGP would be weakened. Whilst this was hopefully an issue of timing, the Leader said it had been felt necessary to flag this up to the partners. With this caveat, he moved the endorsement of ... view the full minutes text for item CO107 |

PEER CHALLENGE REPORT PDF 132 KB The Chief Executive to submit a report the purpose of which is to publish the full LGA Peer Challenge Report following the visit from the Peer Challenge team 11-13 December 2017. This report summarises what the Peer team found including both areas of good practice and areas where the Council could improve. It also includes a summary of what the Council has been doing up to this point and plans for the future. Additional documents:
Minutes: In a report previously circulated, the Chief Executive provided Members with the LGA Peer Challenge Report following the visit from the Peer Challenge team during 11 to 13 December 2017. The report summarised what the Peer team found including both areas of good practice and areas where the Council could improve. It also included a summary of what the Council had been doing up to this point and plans for the future. The Leader, in presenting the report to Members and moving the recommendations it contained: (a) reminded them of the background to the Council’s decision to invite a Peer Challenge team to visit the Council in order to act as a critical friend and how this process operated; (b) reported that the Peer team had found that staff, Members, and stakeholders were positive about the new direction of the Council and that there was a real opportunity for it to maximise the potential of the area. The new corporate management structure and new performance framework were seen as positive steps and would add capacity and accountability to the priority areas. They had identified that the Council had been well run financially but that it must ensure there was a wider recognition of the financial challenge and consider how it might utilise borrowing to fund future investment opportunities; (c) explained that a shortage of capacity, turnover of key staff and vacancies were identified as key challenges currently. This was something that had been prioritised over the last few months and a recruitment drive was now underway to fill posts and a new Workforce Strategy under development which would be brought forward in the near future. Whilst this would undoubtedly help, the Leader stressed that the Council must recognise that some parts of the organisation remained extremely lean and it would have to explore whether further investment in some areas was required to support effective service delivery; (d) stressed that, most crucially, the peer team confirmed the need for the Council to undergo a very focused prioritisation exercise. The Council’s ambition and the commitment of its staff to deliver set it apart, but the Council must collectively ensure it was clear on its priorities and then resource them effectively. The Council also needed to ensure that its decision making and governance processes were clear and streamlined. To this end, the Council had already commissioned the LGA to provide further support by working with officers and Members to review its governance processes and provide support during the prioritisation exercise; (e) assured Members that they would be fully involved in these processes and the LGA would provide specific recommendations on what should be changed. This work would take place over the next couple of months and the aim was to have proposals for a refreshed set of corporate priorities, a new set of corporate values and an updated Constitution and Scheme of Delegation ready to present to the Annual Meeting in May; (f) stressed that this remained an exciting time for Melton.
