LOCAL POLICING UPDATE Verbal update by the local Police Officer Minutes: Nottinghamshire Police Inspector Christine Busuttil verbally updated the Committee with crime statistics for the Area compared to the same period last year.
It is noted that the way in which crimes are recorded has changed with incidents being classed as a crime when reported and prior to confirmation that a crime has been committed. This recording method will provide what initially appear to be high crime figures when compared against the same period last year, but will eventually provide more comparative data.
The following points were highlighted for the Bulwell Forest Ward:
(a) overall crime was up by 78 incidents;
(b) burglary statistics are now considered together and include thefts from dwellings, out buildings (such as sheds). There were 23 more crimes than the same period last year which equates to a 100% rise. Burglary has been a particular problem in the ward with breaking and entering taking place on secured buildings. Citizens are asked to keep vigilant if they think they hear suspicious activity, to call the Police;
(c) there has been a slight increase in criminal damage across the Area with no particular ‘hot spots’ identified;
(d) the statistics for sexual offences continue to reflect the historical cases.
The following points were highlighted for the Bulwell Ward:
(e) overall crime was up by 85 crimes (23.5%). This included a rise in ‘violence without injury’ and ‘theft other’;
(f) criminal damage continues across the Area;
(g) the main emerging criminal concern has been rouge traders duping their way into citizen’s homes and performing distraction thefts.
Inspector Busuttil reminded the Committee to be vigilant about security during the summer and be cautious about leaving windows and doors open during the warm weather as this can attract opportunist burglars.
Community representatives expressed concern that local Police Counter services have been removed and citizens would need to travel across the City to Beeston to hand-in found property which would promote a ‘finders-keepers’ policy.
Inspector Busittil acknowledged that Police counter services had been removed as a result of the savings required, but requested that if citizens contact their beat officers with who will be happy to collect found items.
Concern was expressed that citizens did not know where to go to collect found items.
It is noted that Trading Standards will be holding an anti-rogue traders information event at Bulwell Riverside on Thursday 6 July 2017 between 9.45am and 11.30am.
RESOLVED to record the thanks of the Committee to Inspector Busuttil for her attendance and update.

EARLY YEARS - YEAR REVIEW FOR EARLY HELP NORTH 1 TEAM PDF 116 KB Report of Director of Children’s Integrated Services Additional documents:
Minutes: Julia Bramble and Rachel Howard, both Acting Family Support Managers for the ‘Early Years Service’, presented the report which informs the Committee of the Early Years services available in the Bulwell and Bulwell Forest Wards, how services are monitored, who accesses the services and how results are assessed. Current session details are listed within the report which also included the ‘Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services’ (CAHMS) newsletter.
Questions from the Committee were answered as follows:
(a) the Service does not routinely share information with schools except where additional family support, which may include social or developmental is needed, in which case the schools need to be aware to continue to provide that support;
(b) all Head Teachers and Special Educational Needs Co-Ordinators (SENCO) of local primary schools are invited to attend partner meetings. Where patterns of concerns have been identified by any partner organisation, such as specific developmental issues, this information is shared. To date, only representatives of Rufford Primary, Cantrell Primary, Crabtree Primary and Our Lady of Perpetual Succour Catholic Primary Academy have attended these pre-school liaison meetings which are facilitated by the Special Educational Needs Officers and Portage. The aim is to jointly identify children who are not meeting their expected developmental stage so that they can be properly assessed and the appropriate support provided to enable them to progress in preparation for entering school or at school;
(c) where Early Years workers identify circumstances where families and/or older children need further support, they are referred to the relevant services for assessment/support;
(d) where sessions are not well attended, they are withdrawn and further consideration given how better meet the Area need. This may result in changing the venue or timings;
(e) the Early Years Team liaise with ‘Small Steps, Big Changes’ to ensure that services aren’t duplicated and to try and prevent gaps emerging in early years family support.
RESOLVED to note the report and record the Committee’s thanks to Julia and Rachel for their attendance.

NOTTINGHAM ON CALL SERVICE Bernie Tulloch, Nottingham On Call, to deliver a presentation. Minutes: Bernie Tulloch, Assistive Technology Project Officer for ‘Nottingham On Call’ (Nottingham City Homes) delivered a presentation on the equipment and support provided by the Nottingham On Call scheme which is now available to all disabled/vulnerable or aged citizens in the City and in some surrounding areas.
The following points were highlighted:
(a) there are two types of assisted technology available: i. telecare is connected to a call centre which can be contacted either by a telephone call or by triggering an alarm;
ii. stand-alone assistance which is not linked to any monitoring system but which supports independence where there may be a career in the property. This service is available to non-City vulnerable residents in some surrounding areas;
(b) to qualify Assisted Technology citizens need to have a condition that increases their vulnerability (and that the particular technology would benefit);
(c) to qualify for Telecare Assisted Technology citizens need to live in the Nottingham City boundary (for Telecare) or have a Nottingham City GP (for Telehealth);
(c) a condition which is considered to increase vulnerability can include: i. long-term health conditions ii. dementia iii. disabled children iv. adults with learning disabilities v. at risk of residential care admission vi. at risk of hospital admission;
(d) if eligible, the Tele-care equipment is available either free to low-income City residents or for a modest initial set-up charge of £19.95 for other City residents. There is a weekly charge for all telecare monitoring of £4.17 but this may be waived for people in specific circumstances;
(e) the tele-care system provides an alarm or telephone contact to the Call Centre who can reassure users, provide advice on how most appropriately to deal minor medical queries but can also contact careers, relatives, and call the GP or an ambulance;
(f) there are currently approximately 7,000 service users in the Nottingham City Area but the aspiration is to provide assistance to more than 11,000 citizens by 2019;
(g) it is noted that for every £1 spent on equipment, there is a £3.51 saving on medical and/or social care whilst enabling vulnerable citizens to live independently in their own homes. Since this service has been available, amongst the user group there has been a 46% reduction in hospital admissions, 35% fewer ambulance call outs, 10% reduction in GP appointments;
(h) a range of equipment is available and includes bogus caller button which can silently open a telephone line to the Call Centre so that doorstep conversations can be heard and the call Centre Staff can call out and give the impression of another person in the property. This is particularly helpful with rouge traders and distraction burglaries but can also be used for some domestic violence users;
(i) a wide variety of equipment and devices are available including smoke an CO2 detectors, epilepsy sensors, temperature detectors, bed sensors which alert carers if bed bound people are out of bed (ie fall out of bed) and motion triggered floor lights which are particularly useful for landings and ... view the full minutes text for item 9. |

TENANCY SUSTAINMENT TEAM AND RENT ARREARS AS A RESULT OF UNIVERSAL CREDIT AND BENEFIT CAPS PDF 55 KB Elira Mano, Tenancy and Estates Manager to deliver a presentation. Minutes: Elira Mano, Tenancy and Estate Manager, was accompanied by Cath Stocks, Housing Manager with knowledge of benefit issues, and delivered a presentation on how welfare reform will change the benefits system and the predicted challenges ahead for both tenants and Nottingham City Homes as a landlord.
The following points were highlighted:
(a) the old benefits system enabled housing benefit to be paid directly to the landlord. Universal Credit (UC) will only pay the benefit to the claimant and it is the claimant’s responsibility to manage their finances and pay their rent. However, when a claim is made, it will take approximately 6 weeks for the funds to be paid to the claimant, resulting in the tenant immediately owing rent arrears (currently 80% of citizens on UC have an average arrears of £648);
(b) currently only single, fit for work non-homeowners in the City are receiving UC but it will start to be rolled out with a digital service during June 2018 with all claimants receiving UC by 2022: a predicted 13,500 citizens in Nottingham;
(c) in addition to the way in which ‘housing benefit’ will be paid, as of the Autumn of 2016, significant benefit caps were introduced, as outlined in the presentation and as of April 2017, automatic help with housing costs was removed for the majority of claimants registered for the full digital UC service;
(d) NCH is understandably concerned that with UC claimants facing reduced benefits, rent arrears will increase. However, as well as the existing ‘make rent a payment priority’ campaign, NCH’s Tenancy Sustainment Team have several mechanisms and schemes in place to help tenants with the benefit transition;
(e) all claims will have to be completed online with face to face support for applications will be removed. Support will initially be available for the more vulnerable tenants who initially need help with digital applications but the aim will be to help them to help themselves;
(f) NCH have several employability strategies in place to help support and encourage tenants into paid work.
Questions from the Committee were responded to as follows:
(g) where tenants are in and out of work they are more likely to have rent arrears due to the payment delay. Overall 25% of all tenants have rent arrears of some level but this is partly due to the 6 week delay in payments. The largest social group most at risk of rent arrears is males aged up to 25 years old;
(h) when the benefit changes to UC, everyone will be subject to the 6 week delay in payment, not just new applicants;
(i) where a claimant is not attempting to reduce rent arrears and is not engaging to resolve the arrears, an eviction is likely. The tenant will continue to owe the rent, even if they are evicted and NCH will legally pursue the funds until the debt is paid off;
(j) Nottingham Credit Union has created a rent account for claimants where the claim is paid directly into a specific ... view the full minutes text for item 10. |

ROAD SAFETY STUDY (BULWELL FOREST) PDF 2 MB For information Minutes: Councillor Alan Clark introduced the Bulwell Forest Ward Road Safety Study, which is included in the agenda in its entirety. The study was commissioned following ongoing requests and concerns expressed by citizens, partners and Councillors. The study provides recommendations and options for further feasibility studies.
All junctions where traffic and/or pedestrian incidents have occurred (and been formally reported) have been assessed and recommendations made. This now enables consideration of how to prioritise schemes.
At some incident spots, action may be taken to improve safety but at others, incidents have been the result of individual behaviour.
With the new school to be built at Top Valley, safety improvement works at Top Valley will take priority.
It is noted that further on in the agenda is a proposal for a study of the tram and train level crossing on St Albans Road/ Carey Road where there have been a total of 22 barrier breakdowns in the past year. These have impacted on citizens who are driving and walking and also Nottingham City Transport bus services, all of which are diverted at least a mile.
There have been relatively few accidents at the level crossing and the barrier failure is due to the barriers not being designed to manoeuvre every 6 minutes for tram traffic. Alternatives are to be considered but are unlikely to include a foot bridge which, to comply to current disability requirements, would need to be approximately half a mile long and so would not be practicable nor attractive for citizens to use.
Discussions to find a solution are taking place with Nottingham Express Transit (NET), Network Rail, NCT and the City Council.
Comments from the Committee included:
(a) pollution from congestion ought to be considered as during peak times the traffic in Bulwell queues along Main Street between Jennison to Bulwell Riverside;
(b) regarding the level crossing, suggestions included a road and pedestrian tunnel under the tram and train tracks, and a foot bridge;
(c) a roundabout was suggested at the junction of Hucknall Road and Kersall Drive;
(d) concerns that the double yellow lines and parking restrictions at the level crossing end of St Alban’s Road were incorrectly placed and that by allowing parking on both sides of the road, this resulted in space for only one vehicle at a time to pass, which causes congestion and delays.
Councillor Alan Clark responded that reasonable parking provision was required for residents at the lower end of St Albans Road and that NCT has had the opportunity to raise this point as an issue but hasn’t. With regard to the suggestion of Kersall Drive/Hucknall Road roundabout, the safety report recommendations from the Traffic and Safety Team should be referred to.
RESOLVED to note the Road Safety Study.
