N/A 0 Doubling current (11/12) gross income of 0.052m by 13/14, tripling by 14/15.

Examples of opportunities for additionalincome include: electronic traffic surveys toidentify how people travel to reach particular businesses, personalised travel plans tominimise travel time or minimise fuelconsumption, tracking service to monitor vehicle movements i.e. to reduce the number of stolen lorry loads.

The systems are highly automated andconfigurable. The use that can be made of them is limited by imagination. However, ideasneed to be translated into business proposalsand this then need to be marketed. Thereforesignificant further work to clarify the potentialfor income is required so it is proposed tointroduce this option from April 2013.

To achievethe 1st April 2012 target, consultation wouldneed to begin immediately, to achieve the full£800k. This is funded via EIG which is onlyguaranteed for 2012-13, therefore only oneyear saving has been included.14 centres are managed by school governingbodies, (4 of these are proposed for closure).3 centres are managed by 2 socialenterprises; 1 is managed by a nationalcharity and 8 are managed by LCC. Mergingthe management and administration role willprotect 'front line' services however thisproposal needs to be considered in thecontext proposals (C18) and (C23). If all of the budget savings were agreed nearly half of the centres would fail to deliver the corepurpose, a requirement of the Ofstedinspection framework.

2012-1310 These post holders are important in reducing

health inequalities. They are a core postwithin children centres. These post holdersprovide health promotion activities to supportthe reduction in health inequalities. Thisproposal needs to be considered in thecontext of other budget saving proposals(C18), particularly the proposal to delete theHealth Promotion Posts across all centres. (Acore post was deleted in 2010 - 2011)Deletion of this post in the context of the other savings will impact on children centres abilityto meet the requirement of the statutorychildren centre framework. To achieve the 1stApril 2012 target consultation would need tostart as soon as possible to achieve the fullsaving.

Deletion of the health promotion posts inaddition to the proposed deletion of familysupport outreach posts (C18) and theproposed merger (deletion of manager postsand administrators posts - C6 will seriouslyimpair the ability of centres to fulfil the core

purpose. 'Centres' would not be feasibleinsofar as they would not be able to meet therequirement of the Ofsted inspectionframework. In light of this an alternativeproposal would be to close more centres toensure remaining centres are viable rather than to further reduce the budget across allremaining centres.

There are currently 88 sheltered housingschemes across the City for older peopleproviding 3,135 units of accommodationdelivered by 16 Registered Providers (RSLs)

This may impact on a number of currentresidents in sheltered accommodation- via areduction in current level of support to serviceusers delivered by the Scheme Managers- it isanticipated that some RSLs will change themodel of support in some schemes. For example, moving to peripatetic wardens;instead of scheme-based support.

Longer-term we will work with RSLs andservice users to review the sector andreconfigure in line with the Older People’sHousing Strategy.
