NEW CROSS PROJECT pdf icon PDF 183 KB

Report of the Chief Fire Officer

Minutes:

Wayne Bowcock, Deputy Chief Fire Officer at Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue (NFRS), provided Members with an update on the evaluation outcomes of the New Cross Project.

 

The following points were highlighted:

 

(a)  the project has now been made business as usual (BAU) by Ashfield District Council.  The project is staffed by Ashfield District Council, alongside seconded staff from NFRS.  Ashfield are now looking to employ directly to the New Cross team;

 

(b)  partners are being sought by Ashfield District Council to directly fund posts on the project;

 

(c)  cost savings have been measured per segment, for example how much does it cost the Police and homelessness services to intervene in an individual’s case?

 

(d)  the Local Public Sector Agreement (LPSA) reward grant from central government can only be used for community safety purposes, but there is no specific strategy on how to use the money.  In principle, some of this funding will be committed to support the Broom Hill and New Cross projects.

 

RESOLVED to:

 

(1)  note the report;

 

(2)  ask for a further report to come back with a cost analysis.

Report of the Chief Fire Officer

Minutes:

Wayne Bowcock, Deputy Chief Fire Officer at NFRS updated Committee members on the development of the Service Delivery performance model.

 

The following point was highlighted:

 

(a)  there is currently no performance culture around service delivery.  Information could be richer and would help officers track performance internally;

 

RESOLVED to note the contents of the report and support the development of an ‘Improvement through Performance’ framework’.  A standing report will be available for the January round of meetings onwards.
