Police Update Minutes: Sergeant Paul Ferguson gave a verbal update, highlighting the following:
(a)
in the Meadows there has been an overall
increase in crime of 3.5% year to date. Robbery
add hate crime has decreased. The largest increase has been
in burglary with a rise of 113% though this was partially due to a
spike of properties broken into. Over the last month crime has gone
down 16.9%, with burglary and robbery both down. Drugs is an issue
for the Beat Team, trying to get warrants for arrests which is an
ongoing issue; (b) in Clifton, overall crime has increased by 7.7% year to date, with robbery and hate crime up. Over the last month crime has reduced, with burglary and robbery down, but auto crime up slightly. An issue is off-road motorcycles around Clifton estate;
The following points were raised during the
discussion which followed: (c)
the issue with motorcycles in Clifton is
seasonal, and is more of an issue in daylight hours though there
have been some incidents at night time. There has been some success
with removing and destroying some bicycles; (d)
Bridge Ward councillors are concerned about drug issues in the
Meadows and want to see progress. This remains a concern for the
police and there is a lot of work going on in the
background; RESOLVED to thank Sergeant Ferguson for his update |

Nottingham City Homes Update PDF 463 KB Report of Chief Executive, Nottingham City Homes Additional documents: Minutes: Gary Nelmbs, Nottingham City Homes, introduced the report providing summary updates on the following key themes: · Capital Programme and major work; · area regeneration and environmental issues; · key messages from the Tenant and Leasehold Congress; · Tenant and Residents Associations updates; · area performance; · good news stories and positive publicity.
The following points were made during the discussion which followed:
(a)
as housing in the Meadows is being
demolished, local residents have noticed mice as a result. They
have been asked to pay for pest control services as it is not a
statutory service to get rid of mice, only rats. Residents see this
as unfair as it has been caused by the demolition which is out of
their control; (b) it would be helpful for the report in future to include numbers rather than percentages for things like rent collection, as it would give a clearer picture.
RESOLVED to
(1) note the update and performance information in appendices 1 and 2 of the report; (2) note the allocation of funds for 2016/17:
(3) approve the Area Capital Programme funding request as set out below:

Get Out Get Active Project Presentation by Alex Brown, Community Sport and Physical Activity Officer Minutes: Alex Brown, Community Sport and Physical Activity Officer, introduced the Get Out Get Active (GOGA) Project, which aims to support disabled and non-disabled people to enjoy being active together. Alex highlighted the following:
(a)
statistics continually show that disabled people are the least
active population and two thirds of disabled people say that they
would like to take part in sport with non-disabled
people; (b)
Nottingham City Council has secured £245,000 over 3 years, in
partnership with the English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDA)
to develop and deliver a range of sport and physical activity
programmes for citizens to participate in and improve both their
physical and mental health; (c)
GOGA will focus on 3 areas of Nottingham, including Clifton, which
has been chosen due to its high number of people with life-limiting
illnesses or disabilities (19.6%); (d)
a detailed programme of activity is
being developed for GOGA which outlines which activity is due to
take place when and where over the 3 years. There is however
flexibility to alter delivery to suit local needs, discussing with
residents and target areas; (e) there will be a community engagement event at Clifton Leisure Centre on Thursday 26 January from 2-4pm, and community partners and organisations are invited to come along;
The following points were raised during the discussion which followed:
(f)
the project could be promoted on social
media by Clifton councillors. GPs could also get involved to advise
or signpost people to activities; (g)
access to events and activities can be a
barrier for people, and they may need to be supported in this. The
engagement event should be able to identify people who could help,
and Clifton Leisure Centre is inclusive; (h)
gentle activities such as tai chi or
dancing would be better at encouraging those not used to physical
activity. Activities which do not require specialist equipment
would also be able to involve more people. Basketball could be
walking basketball which requires a lower level of
fitness; (i)
open swimming sessions at Clifton
Leisure Centre can be extremely limited. This programme may be able
to free up sessions; (j) facilities in the Meadows could also be used, such as the bowling green or the Portland Leisure Centre. These are easily accessible from Clifton by bus and tram.
RESOLVED to note the information and thank Alex for the update. |

AREA COMMITTEE - IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF CITIZENS PDF 309 KB Report of Alison Challenger, Director of Public Health Additional documents:
Minutes: Gayle Aughton, Commissioning Manager, introduced the report which informed the Committee of the outcome of the ward-level research and recent consultation on the health profile of Nottingham’s citizens to ensure that commissioning of Public Health services will appropriately and most effectively meet the health needs of the local population. Gayle highlighted the following:
(a)
the Council has to ensure value for
money and efficiency, but still aims for Public Health services to
have positive outcomes and improve the health of citizens. The
evidence from this consultation has been very useful for
commissioners to know which services will best do this in each
area; (b)
specific themes identified in Area 8 affordability of activities,
increased need to publicise what’s on offer, needs of
specific groups such as BME and the elderly, and the need to
deliver health related activities in community facilities where
people feel comfortable; (c)
a new behaviour change and weight
management service will allow citizens to access universally
available services, targeted services and higher more intense
services for those with more complex needs. Also a smoking
cessation service will deliver a creative approach to addressing
community needs; (d) there will soon be an integrated health and social care directory for Nottingham, which will likely be called Local Information Online Nottingham (LION). This should be live by Spring 2017 and allow users to search for services near them by postcode;
The following points were raised during the
discussion which followed: (e)
it would be useful for Ward Councillors to receive regular updates
on health services in their area; (f)
Area 8 used to have a Health and Wellbeing Action Group which
brought together many partners and encouraged pilot projects in the
area, influencing health issues locally. This may not be
appropriate anymore but this could be looked at afresh; (g)
The social prescription pilot mentioned in the report is a pilot
where a citizen would be signposted to support services as opposed
to a traditional prescription. The pilot is taking place in the
Bulwell area; RESOLVED to thank Gayle for the update |

Clifton Town Centre Update Verbal update from Mark Armstrong Minutes: Mark Armstrong, Town Centre Co-ordinator, verbally updated the Committee highlighting the following:
(a)
street furniture such as benches,
bollards, cycle racks and bins has now been installed in all main
areas of the town centre. However, feedback and suggestions from
the local community is welcomed for further sites for benches where
people need them; (b)
trees are being replaced at the central
shops in a 12 week programme. This will start in January so as to
avoid the Christmas period. Other upcoming work includes
improvements to the cut-through to Morrisons, paving in front of the shops and a new
entrance to the flower park. This will be programmed together to
avoid disruption; (c)
the Clifton drive-in cinema will take place on Saturday
26th November, with a higher quality screen to the one
that was cancelled last time due to poor weather; (d) the planning application for the Fairham House site has now been submitted to the council. The planned anchor store is Lidl, and the target is still to open in Easter 2018;
The following comments were made by the Committee during the discussion which followed:
(e)
seating outside Holy Trinity shops was not put in at the request of
the shops due to antisocial behaviour, however there should be
other ways to deal with this problem and this should be
re-examined; (f)
the Fairham
House scheme needs to be high quality should involve local jobs and
apprentices for local people. It should also aim to have a diverse
range of shops; (g) the new trees by the central shops will be a mixture of species to ensure variety. Cladding of the front of the shops is not possible this year but still a priority. It will be important for Clifton shops to remain looking attractive when the new development at Fairham House is complete.
RESOLVED to thank Mark for the update

Community Protection - Area Cluster Feedback and briefing note from Community Protection PDF 416 KB Additional documents: Minutes: Sophie Ayubi, Senior Community Protection Officer (CPO), introduced the report which gave feedback to queries raised at a meeting in September 2016. Sophie highlighted the following:
(a)
CPOs are supposed to spend a minimum of
80% of their working week patrolling. However, some work streams
are complex so some time has to be spent in the office with admin
commitments; (b)
there are currently some vacant CPO
posts, but a robust campaign is in place to recruit more. The role
is often used as a stepping stone into the police; (c)
CPOs have a wide range of powers to give
out notices for fixed penalties, for example. These can progress to
court. It is an offence to not surrender alcohol to a CPO, and
street drinkers may be signposted to other services; (d)
The demands on the service are flexible by area and dependent on
what needs resolving. Programmes such as Your Voice, Your Choice
can help to identify these issues; (e) each area has a Twitter feed and updates on issues and successes regularly. A monthly update is also produced for Councillors.
RESOLVED to thank Sophie for the information |

Area Committee Community Representatives Celebration Event- feedback from representatives Minutes: Tracy Osborne, Parkgate Community Centre, fed back to the Committee on the event that she attended at the Council House for Community Representatives, where they were invited to provide ideas and feedback.
Tracy found the event very useful and would recommend future events to other Community Representatives. She particularly enjoyed having a tour of the Council House which was very thorough and enthusiastically led.
RESOLVED to thank Tracy for the feedback |
