(a) A question by Councillor McNicol to the Cabinet Member for Finance, Corporate Support and Welfare Reform in the following terms:-

"On 15th October, 2015 at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court one of my constituents was awarded damages of £80.64 against North Ayrshire Council for repair of a coil Spring on his vehicle after having struck a pothole outside Ardrossan Academy, Parkhouse Road, Ardrossan on 2nd February, 2015.

Will the Portfolio Holder for Finance, Corporate Support and Housing furnish me with all costs incurred by North Ayrshire Council in defending this claim (including cost of officers time preparing papers for Zurich Insurance to defend claim, and officers time attending Kilmarnock Sheriff Court to give evidence at the hearing) and who was responsible for the edict not to pay compensation?"

(b) A question by Councillor Cullinane to the Cabinet Member for Finance, Corporate Support and Welfare Reform in the following terms:-

“The £43million contract for the Largs Campus has been awarded to Morrison Construction, a company named in the Scottish Affairs Select Committee Report as having used the Consulting Association blacklist to identify, deny employment to or terminate the jobs of trade union members. The contract was awarded by hub West Scotland. However, as it is a North Ayrshire Council led project, can the Portfolio Holder advise me what representations, if any, they have made to hub West Scotland about Morrison Construction winning the contract and how does the award of the contract conform with this Council’s previous commitment that companies exposed as having blacklisted workers should be excluded from Council contracts?”

(c) a Motion by Councillor Hill, seconded by Councillor Bell in the following terms:-

"That the Council agreed to add a new Standing Order 23(v):

'For the avoidance of doubt this Standing Order does not apply to Questions raised under Standing Order 12. No such Question shall require the suspension of Standing Orders in order to be considered or reconsidered.'"

11.2 Other Motions

(a) a Motion by Councillor Cullinane, seconded by Councillor McNamara in the following terms:-

"At the Council meeting of 24th March 2014 I proposed a motion calling on North Ayrshire Council to become an Ethical Care Council and sign up to the UNISON Ethical Care Charter. As an amendment, which was accepted, the issue was referred to the “Living Wage and Ethical Care Working Group

A key component of the UNISON Ethical Care Charter is payment of the Living Wage to all social care workers. The final Working Group report recommended that North Ayrshire Council did not sign up to the Charter because, it was stated by officers using guidance from the Scottish Government, that the Council could not legally mandate external care providers to pay the Living Wage. That was a position that the Labour members of the Working Group challenged throughout the lifespan of the Group.

Given that the Scottish Government have performed a u-turn and now accept that a Living Wage for all care workers can be achieved, North Ayrshire Council agrees to sign up to the UNISON Ethical Care Charter."

12. Urgent itemsAny other items which the Provost considers to be urgent.

8. Questions

In terms of Standing Order No. 12 there were submitted:-

(a) A question by Councillor Barr to the Cabinet Member for Economy and Employment in the following terms:-

"Has the Portfolio Holder any knowledge of multi-million pound investment coming to North Ayrshire next year?”

Councillor Burns thanked the Member for his question and responded in the following terms:-

“North Ayrshire will see a number of multi million pound investments from the public and private sectors next year and beyond.

Investments range from significant infrastructure commitments such as the £25m redevelopment of Brodick Harbour which is due to commence on site in January 2016 and the creation of new assets such as the £42m Garnock Campus, the £53m Largs Campus and the £22m Irvine Leisure Centre and Town Centre.

The private sector is also continuing to progress significant investment and the Council is in pro-active confidential discussions with a number of companies to facilitate / accelerate these plans.

The Council is also working in partnership with East and South Ayrshire Councils to develop proposals for an Ayrshire Growth Deal. This will see the submission of a bid to Scottish Government in March. We hope that this allows further investment and a step change in the prospects for the Ayrshire economy.”

As a supplementary question, Councillor Barr made reference to confidential discussions he had had on a potential investment and asked the Cabinet Member whether any of the significant investments to which she had referred also related to that area.

Councillor Burns responded by advising that she was not in a position to share the requested information in public at this stage, but undertook to discuss the matter separately with Councillor Barr outwith the Council meeting.

(b) A question by Councillor McNicol to the Leader of the Council in the following terms:-

"Will the Leader of the Council give members a progress update on the refurbishment of Saltcoats Town Hall and advise on when it will be officially opened?"

Councillor Hill thanked the Member for his question and responded in the following terms on behalf of the Leader:-

10

Page 4

“The majority of the construction works within the £3.8m Saltcoats Town Hall restoration project are expected to be completed by Christmas 2015. All works to the first floor (main and lesser halls) are on target to be finished by Christmas. The open plan office and customer service centre on the ground floor are largely complete, with only minor items to be completed in January. Floor finishes are currently being laid, with the majority of fixtures and fittings in place. Commissioning and testing of systems has commenced. The back-of-house staff and meeting facilities and some external lintel repairs and rendering will also be completed in January.

The majority of the scaffold will be removed by Christmas, with only small areas remaining. The contractor’s compound will be removed within the first 2 weeks of January.

The projected completion date for the works is 25 January 2016. It is anticipated that the building will be open to the public from Monday 15 February. This will include the new customer service centre, housing and registration services, alongside health and social care services.

The official opening ceremony will take place on Monday 14 March 2016.”

As a supplementary question, Councillor McNicol made reference to the history of this project and the importance of the building to the regeneration of Saltcoats, and asked if the Depute Leader would join him in congratulating officers and the workforce for hopefully delivering an on-time and on-budget project of which Saltcoats can be proud.

Councillor Hill expressed his support for the sentiment expressed.

(c) A question by Councillor Bell to the Cabinet Member for Finance, Corporate Support and Welfare Reform in the following terms:-

"At a recent meeting the Cabinet agreed to further cuts to services not previously agreed by Council, and ahead of the Council budget, including a number to the Education budget which were to be subject of an Equalities Impact Assessment. Were these assessments carried out, why are these cuts to home school inclusion and other services being rushed through by the SNP group, without the opportunity for discussion with all members, given she welcomed the original budget at the meeting last year?”

Councillor Maguire thanked the Member for his question, made reference to a written response provided by Councillor Bruce as Cabinet Member for Education Attainment and Achievement in respect of the part of the question relating to Equalities Impact Assessments for Education, and responded to the remainder of the question in the following terms:-

11

Page 5

"Cabinet have not approved any additional savings, budget decisions have been taken at the appropriate time and all Councillors have been fully consulted had the opportunity to be involved.

As part of the budget process all North Ayrshire Councillors are informed of options to balance the budget. Both before and on budget day there is the opportunity to discuss and debate proposals and move alternatives.

The changes to Education which are described in the question were agreed by full Council. North Ayrshire Council's budget for 2015/16 to 2017/18 was set unopposed with no amendments at the meeting in December 2014.

At its meeting on 27 October 2015 Cabinet received a report on the “Medium Term Financial Outlook and Financial Planning”.

This report considered the current global financial environment alongside the UK Government’s July budget and the potential impact of this and the Autumn Statement on the Scottish Government and Local Government Budgets. The report also provided an update on the current assumptions around North Ayrshire’s medium term financial plan.

Given the anticipated adverse movement in the overall financial position the report noted the action which was being taken to mitigate the emerging funding gap; this included bringing forward savings which were agreed by Full Council when it set its budget for 2015/16 to 2017/18 at its meeting in December 2014.

This Cabinet report was not called in.

So there were a number of opportunities to influence this matter spanning more than a year in time - hardly a rush:

Over the course of the budget preparations which began October 2014On budget day itself in December 2014When the Cabinet report bringing the savings agreed previously by full Council forward was approved in October 2015

None of these opportunities were taken up.”

In his absence, Councillor Bruce's written response was provided in the following terms:-

“At the time of the original budget proposals, that were agreed by Elected Members, an Equalities Impact Assessment initial screening was completed. The outcome of that EIA Screening:

Ref: SP-ES-15-15 Review of Business Support indicated that the proposed savings “will likely have a neutral impact”. Therefore, a full EIA would not be required.

12

Page 6

Ref: SP-ES-15-07 Restructure the Home School Inclusion Workers indicated that this savings proposal could have a potential impact in relation to age and poverty. It suggested that when new arrangements are made a full EIA would be required so that the needs of children and young people would continue to be met in partnership with other service providers.

Senior Officers from the Education and Youth Employment Directorate have been involved in a wide ranging consultation with key stakeholders as the result of bringing these savings proposals forward. The consultation will lead to the development of a revised service delivery model. It is proposed, resulting from discussions with the joint trade unions, that a full EIA should now be undertaken on the proposed new service delivery model across both areas.

The revised models were shared with the joint trade unions on Monday 15 December with staff briefings being held on Thursday 16 December 2015.”

As a supplementary question, Councillor Bell referred both to the decision of the Special Meeting of the Council on 9 December 2014 to approve options for efficiencies and also to anticipated underspends within the Council budget and that of the Scottish Government, and asked whether the Cabinet Member would agree with him that decisions on budgets should be taken in public with all Members involved, and also that the underspends cited were an example of SNP austerity.

Councillor Maguire responded by advising that she was pleased that the Member had directed Members to the Council Minute, as section (h) confirms the decision taken in respect of savings options for 16/17 and 17/18. Councillor Maguire added that it was the right and duty of Members to scrutinise decisions made by the Cabinet on behalf of North Ayrshire, but that scrutiny and politicking were two quite different things and that, with all the decades of experience in the Labour Group, people might find it hard to believe it had only now got round to examining the details of a budget it supported a year ago.

(d) A question by Councillor Reid to the Leader of the Council in the following terms:-

"The Leader of the Council it is reported recently met with Scottish Government Ministers, I am sure the A737 and the Dalry Bypass along with other Strategic transport links would have been high on the agenda of any such meetings. Can the Leader advise on the substance of these discussions to improve North Ayrshire's Transport links both on the Scottish Government's and that of the Council's network of transport links?"

Councillor Hill thanked the Member for his question and responded in the following terms on behalf of the Leader:-

“Derek Mackay MSP, the Minister for Transport and the Islands visited Arran on 8 September, and Keith Brown, Cabinet Secretary for Infrastructure, Investment and Cities visited North Ayrshire on 11 November.

13

Page 7

The meetings provided the opportunity for a number of priorities to be discussed with these key Scottish Government Ministers. Given their respective responsibilities, the issues discussed included major road investments, the Irvine Enterprise Area, Ardrossan Harbour and North Shore, the redevelopment of Brodick Harbour, the Islands Bill, and the Ayrshire Growth Deal.

In terms of the Elected Member’s query on Roads, the A737 and B714 routes in particular were discussed.

For the A737, the Ministers noted the progress made on the legal processes required to enable improvement projects along the A737 corridor. Following a Public Local Inquiry held at the end of last year and recommendations made by the Reporter, Scottish Ministers gave the go ahead for completion of statutory procedures for the A737 Dalry Bypass scheme in October. This allowed the orders to be made to legally establish the route of the Dalry Bypass and the Den on 2 December. A timescale for the implementation of the improvements is not available, this is currently being considered in light of the recent UK Government spending review and implications for the Scottish Government capital budget. Officers will continue to work with Transport Scotland officials and the Minister's office to secure the implementation of the bypass.

For the B714 between Dalry and the A78, officers have commissioned research on the improvement of the route which would reduce the level of traffic passing through Kilwinning, and the capacity issues currently being seen at the Pennyburn roundabout. It would link to the proposed roundabout at the west end of the Dalry Bypass. Discussions have previously taken place with Transport Scotland on this proposal and a 'Strategic Transport Appraisal Guidance part 1' study has been completed. We sought support to continue to a STAG part 2 to consider the proposal further.”

Councillor Hill added that the Council had now received from Scottish Government Trunk Road Orders and Compulsory Purchase Orders which were indicative of further progress in respect of the Dalry Bypass project.

As a supplementary question, Councillor Reid asked if the Depute Leader would join him in continuing to pursue further progress in terms of construction and options for a Dalry By-Pass.

Councillor Hill confirmed his willingness to support the Member in this regard.

(e) A question by Councillor Reid to the Cabinet Member for Place in the following terms:-

"North Ayrshire Council adopted a more rigorous policy of dealing with dog fouling, general littering and dumping of rubbish in March 2013. Can the portfolio holder advise:-

How many complaints the council has received on the following points in each financial year 12/13, 13/14 14/15 and the year to date. In terms of Dog fouling complaints?

14

Page 8

In terms of general littering complaints?In terms of dumping of rubbish?

Councillor Gurney thanked the Member for his question and referred to the following information provided within his written response:-

12/13 13/14 14/15 15/16 to date (14/12/15)

Dog Fouling 4* 25 11 5General litter 20* 12 12 8Dumping of Rubbish

3* 3 7 7

Total 27* 40 30 20

*These are formal complaints only. Informal complaints were not recorded pre-2013 so the total volume in 2012 is unknown.

As a supplementary question, Councillor Reid asked whether the Cabinet Member could guarantee that the figures provided included complaints by Elected Members.

Councillor Gurney responded by indicating that he had been under the impression that the question related to complaints from the public, undertaking to add as a separate column those figures relating to Councillor complaints, and inviting Members to consider the figures in the light of the significant increase in public satisfaction with the service whereby complaints now comprised only 0.8% of service requests.

(f) A question by Councillor Reid to the Cabinet Member for Place in the following terms:-

"As already noted Council agreed a more robust approach be taken to deal with dog fouling, littering and dumping of rubbish by use of enforcement. What partnerships and procedures are in place both in the Council and out with the Council to ensure North Ayrshire is a Cleaner Place to live?"

Councillor Gurney thanked the Member for his question, and responded in the following terms:-

“The Council’s 'Litter, Fly Tipping and Dog Fouling Prevention Strategy' – built on the 3 E's- educate, enable and enforce – was approved by Cabinet in March 2014.

The aim of the strategy is to:

change people’s hearts and minds with regards to littering, flytipping and dog fouling;encourage a social contract with communities whereby we “all do our bit to protect and enhance the local environment” and highlight that litter, flytipping and dog fouling are socially unacceptable;shift the emphasis from clean-up to prevention;introduce a zero tolerance to litter, flytipping and dog fouling; and

15

Page 9

ensure a coordinated, best practice approach to litter, flytipping and dog fouling prevention and management throughout North Ayrshire.

With regard to partnerships and procedures, the following is in place:

The Council works closely with Zero Waste Scotland (ZWS) and is currently applying for funding from ZWS for materials to help with a Council campaign to reduce litter;

The Council continues to support the Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB) annual ‘Big Spring Clean’, in partnership with KSB and local communities;

Work is ongoing with the Ayrshire Litter Volunteering Network (ALVN). This is a network of volunteers who help clear and prevent litter in our neighbourhoods. Although the organisation is currently reviewing its operation the Council supports them with advice and materials/equipment such as litter pickers and bags. Whilst the initiative is across the whole of Ayrshire 50% of the total number of 160 volunteers are active within North Ayrshire;

The Council continues to support and enable an increasing level of business and community participation in carrying out litter picks in open spaces, parks, beaches etc. (approx. 20 groups at present);

Regular presentations are made to community groups, delivered by Streetscene Officers;

A bespoke 'Jimmy and the Green Dog' educational campaign is regularly delivered to primary schools, focussing on litter and dog fouling prevention;

Partnership working is in place between Police Scotland, the Traveller Services Co-ordinator and Streetscene Operations to deal effectively with illegal encampments, where fly tipping is a regular occurrence;

In addition to our planned cleaning programmes Six Rapid Response Teams are in place to remove fly tipping within 3 days of notification. 97% of incidents between 1 April and September 2015 were cleared within the 3 day target;

Partnership working is in place with Housing to carry out Environmental Visual Audits, accompanied by representatives from Tenants/Residents Associations;

The Council’s Local Environmental Audit Management System (LEAMS) score is continuously monitored to identify areas for improvement and ensure high cleanliness standards are maintained in North Ayrshire’s streets;

Over 200 Streetscene staff have been trained in the LEAMS assessment and the standards expected;

The LEAMS methodology has been customised to support litter audits in both primary and secondary schools, which are carried out by the schools’ ECO committees;

Partnership working is in place between Streetscene Officers and Waste Awareness Officers to reduce litter arising from businesses;

The Council fully implemented the ‘Fly Mapper’ system with effect from October 2015, which helps with the identification of fly tipping and informs strategy in this area;

16

Page 10

Physical barriers (for example Irvine Moor and Longford Avenue, Kilwinning) have been erected to restrict vehicular access and reduce fly tipping;

A new Fly Tipping Officer post is currently being established, which will lead on both education and enforcement in respect of fly tipping;

The number of dog fouling and litter bins continues to increase to reflect demand and address known hotspots; and

Dual bins, which encourage the deposit of both dog waste and general litter, continue to be introduced where appropriate.”

As a supplementary question, Councillor Reid noted that Streetscene staff were working hard, but observed that Community Wardens were not mentioned and asked who would be undertaking enforcement work once the Community Wardens staff were removed.

Councillor Gurney responded by praising the work done by all officers and expressing the Administration's intention to ensure enforcement work continues to be carried out, bearing in mind the financial constraints faced by the Council.

9. Ayrshire Civil Contingencies Team - Governance Arrangements

Submitted report by the Chief Executive on a review of the arrangements to oversee the Pan-Ayrshire Civic Contingencies Team in respect of funding, lead authority and the role of the Ayrshire Shares Services Joint Committee.

The Council agreed (a) to delegate all functions relating to the Ayrshire Civic Contingencies Team to the Ayrshire Shared Services Joint Committee; (b) that the Pan-Ayrshire Civic Contingencies Team moves to a Lead Authority model, with South Ayrshire Council as Lead Authority with effect from 1 April 2016; and (c) to delegate authority to the Head of Democratic Services to (i) make the required changes to the Scheme of Administration and the Scheme of Delegation and (ii) finalise and conclude a Service Agreement for the shared civil contingencies service with South and East Ayrshire Councils.

"That the Council pays tribute to ferry workers at the public sector company, Caledonian MacBrayne (CalMac), and their vital role in maintaining lifeline ferry services to our constituents on Arran and Cumbrae and other island communities; notes that the next contract for Clyde and Hebrides ferry services (CHFS) is currently out to tender and may be privatised as Serco is bidding against CalMac to take over these lifeline public services; recalls the argument made in a briefing paper from February 2015 from the STUC and the CalMac unions, RMT, TSSA, Nautilus and Unite, that the Scottish Government could have pursued legal arguments with the European Commission to exempt lifeline Scottish ferry services from regulations requiring regular tendering of public sector contracts, a process which is disruptive, expensive and biased toward private sector bidders; believes that the Council should write to the Scottish Government urging it to exercise its power to stop the current CHFS tender process in order to pursue an exemption for Scottish ferry services, and further expresses that this Council believes in supporting and promoting publicly owned and operated ferry services to Arran and Cumbrae and across Scotland."

As an amendment, Councillor Hill, seconded by Councillor Burns, moved as follows:-

"That the Council pays tribute to ferry workers at the public sector company, Caledonian MacBrayne (CalMac), and their vital role in maintaining lifeline ferry services to our constituents on Arran and Cumbrae and other island communities. This Council believes in supporting and promoting publicly owned and operated ferry services to Arran and Cumbrae and across Scotland."

Members then asked questions of the movers of the motion and amendment and, thereafter, debated the matter.

The movers of the motion and the amendment then summed up.

Councillor McLardy left the meeting at this point.

On a division and roll call vote, there voted for the amendment, Councillors Burns, Dickson, Ferguson, Gurney, Hill, Maguire, McLean, McMillan and Sturgeon, and for the motion, Councillors Barr, Bell, Clarkson, Cullinane, Easdale, Gallagher, Highgate, Hunter, McNamara, McNicol, Montgomerie, Munro, Oldfather, Reid and Steel, and the motion was declared carried.

(b) a Motion by Councillor Cullinane, seconded by Councillor Gallagher in the following terms:-

"This Council notes that:

i Discussions currently being conducted in secret between officials of the US and the EU concerning the possible EU-US Transnational Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) may -in addition to affecting regulations in a range of areas such as food safety, employment rights and the environment – affect the future public ownership of services in areas such as the health service and in local government.

ii Recent reports on the TTIP discussions indicate that an agreement on TTIP may involve further tendering for public services by multi-national companies and allow these companies to sue elected administrations through an Investors State Dispute Settlement mechanism, an Investor Court System or a an alternative but similar system - particularly when such elected administrations take previously privatised services back into public or common ownership.

iii The UK government would play a role in the approval of the outcome of the TTIP discussions through the involvement of the relevant UK Government representatives in the EU Council of Ministers.

iv Many of the subject areas being considered by the TTIP discussions are areas over which local government and the Scottish Parliament has jurisdiction in Scotland.

Given the points above, this Council opposes TTIP and resolves to write to the UK and Scottish Governments urging that they also declare their opposition to TTIP."

There being no amendment, the motion was declared carried.

(c) a Motion by Councillor Cullinane, seconded by Councillor McNamara in the following terms:-

"This Council notes that outcomes for looked after and care experienced people across Scotland are lower than outcomes for their non-looked after peers.

Further notes that across Scotland 40% of looked after young people leave school with one or more qualifications at SCQF level 5 compared with 84% of non-looked after school leavers, that 74% of looked after young people leave school with one or more qualification at SCQF level 4 compared with 96% of non-looked after school leavers, that only 73% of looked after school leavers are in a positive destination nine months after leaving school compared with 92% of non-looked after school leavers and that only 7% of school leavers who are looked after transition straight to University compared to 39% of their non-looked after peers.

20

Page 14

North Ayrshire Council as a Corporate Parent, a role which is defined in the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014, has many legislative and moral responsibilities to ensure we are promoting the wellbeing of this group of young people.

Council notes the work currently being undertaken to support young people who have care experience into positive destinations such as the work of the Throughcare Employment Advisor. However, despite performing better than some local authorities only 50-55% of care leavers in the area progress into a positive destination.

Council therefore resolves to affirm our desire to take proactive action to support this group of young people. Council wishes to set an aim of offering a guarantee of a positive destination; a job, paid work experience, training opportunity, Modern Apprenticeship, further or higher education course; for every looked after young person leaving school where they have not been able to secure one themselves. Council therefore asks officers to bring a report to a future meeting of the Cabinet detailing how this aim may be achieved over a period of time with details of how the Council may work with a range of partners to achieve the aim; the work already undertaken by North Ayrshire Council on this issue; and looking at other best practice examples from across the country such as Highland Council’s ‘Family Firm’ approach and Stirling Council’s job interview guarantee."

As an amendment, Councillor Dickson, seconded by Councillor Maguire, moved as follows:-

"This Council notes that outcomes for looked after and care experienced people across Scotland are lower than outcomes for their non-looked after peers.

Further notes that across Scotland 40% of looked after young people leave school with one or more qualifications at SCQF level 5 compared with 84% of non-looked after school leavers, that 74% of looked after young people leave school with one or more qualification at SCQF level 4 compared with 96% of non-looked after school leavers, that only 73% of looked after school leavers are in a positive destination nine months after leaving school compared with 92% of non-looked after school leavers and that only 7% of school leavers who are looked after transition straight to University compared to 39% of their non-looked after peers.

Page 15

Council therefore resolves to re-affirm our desire to take proactive action to support this group of young people. Council already offers a 'guarantee' of a job interview in the Council where they meet the selection criteria, and interview for a Modern Apprenticeship; and fully supports every young person to reach a positive destination; a job, paid work experience, training opportunity, Modern Apprenticeship, further or higher education course; for every young person leaving school. Council therefore asks officers to bring a report to a future meeting of the Cabinet detailing how support is currently being provided and how it can be further enhanced to held our looked after children reach positive destinations, developing opportunities beyond the employability issue, to ensure we are supporting the young people who have experienced care, in a holistic way. Council may work with a range of partners to achieve this and should look at other best practice examples to inform our approach."

Councillor Cullinane accepted the terms of the amendment. There being no further amendment, the amendment was declared carried.

(d) a Motion by Councillor Bell, seconded by Councillor Cullinane in the following terms:-

"Council agrees that where, in answer to a question, a Councillor confirms that a response will be provided after the meeting, a copy of such response will be made publicly available on the Council's website alongside the agenda and minute of the meeting.

In addition where the minute of a meeting has subsequently been altered prior to approval, the amended approved minute should also be made publicly available on the Council's website alongside the agenda and original minute."

As an amendment, Councillor Gurney, seconded by Councillor Hill, moved that the words "non confidential" be inserted into paragraph one of the motion, to read "a copy of such non confidential response".

The Head of Democratic Services clarified that only those responses which contained 'exempt' information under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 would be excluded.

On that basis, the motion was declared carried.

12. Provost's Concluding Remarks

On behalf of the Council, and at the suggestion of the Depute Provost, the Provost extended congratulations to West Kilbride on its success in winning the village category of The Great British High Street Competition 2015.

The Meeting ended at 3.25 p.m.

As an amendment, Councillor McNamara, seconded by Councillor Gallagher, moved that the Council approve the recommendations set out in the report, subject to the inclusion, within the Leader of the Council's letter to the Depute First Minister, of the following additional wording:-

"This Council is deeply concerned by the budget process which is being imposed, under threat, on the people of North Ayrshire.

Whilst agreeing under duress to your demands, we wish to record our very real concerns that, due to the required timescale and the threats under which we are operating, the elected Councillors of North Ayrshire will be unable to give this budget the full scrutiny it requires.

This lack of scrutiny undermines the democratic principles which we all, as elected politicians, have signed up to and must comply with.

In conclusion we would ask that you take our concerns seriously and, in any future relations with North Ayrshire Council, the principles of democratic scrutiny and openness are vigorously adhered to."

Members then asked questions of the movers of the motion and the amendment and, thereafter, debated the matter.

The movers of the motion and the amendment then summed up.

Dr Martin Cheyne in the Chair 1. Welcome and Apologies

The Chair welcomed everyone to the meeting and apologies were noted. 2. Minutes of Previous Meeting The Minutes of the CPP Board meeting of 10 September 2015 were approved. 3. Matters Arising from Minutes Elma Murray gave an update on the Boundary Commission Review. She advised

that she had met the Commission along with the Leader of the Council, Leader of the Opposition, and Andrew Fraser. They were able to give a detailed explanation of the Locality Approach, what it is meant to achieve and why it is so important to partners. We await a final decision from the Boundary Commission.

4. Anti-Social Behaviour Strategy (ASB)

Jacqueline Cameron presented the new ASB Strategy to the Board. The North Ayrshire Antisocial Behaviour Strategy 2015-18 is framed around the four pillars of prevention, integration, engagement and communication. Each pillar is considered in detail throughout the strategy, including the strategic aims and outcomes that will shape partners' work in relation to each one. The strategy will enable core services involved in the Safer North Ayrshire Partnership to tackle antisocial behaviour efficiently and effectively, and work to achieve the outcomes described within the strategy document and Single Outcome Agreement. In reply to a question on anti-social behaviour conducted through social media the Board received re-assurance from NAC and Police Scotland that this incorporated within the strategy. Hate crime for example is referred to Police Scotland for investigation.

The Board noted the ASB Strategy and commended its content.

5. Road Safety Plan Craig Hatton presented the North Ayrshire Council Road Safety Plan 2015-2020

to the Board. This plan will be used to guide road safety education and engineering priorities and commitments until 2020. It represents a partnership approach to road safety.

In North Ayrshire over the 5 year period 2009-2013, there were a total of 265

people killed or injured on our roads. This compares with 279 killed or injured during the previous 5 year period (2006-2010). While these results are ahead of the Scottish Road Safety Framework milestone casualty reduction targets set for 2010 to 2015, we need to continue to maintain this downward trend to meet the 2020 targets. The new plan sets out road safety commitments for the period 2015-2020, highlighting categories of the most vulnerable road users that are to be targeted and takes cognisance of the lessons learned in previous plans. The plan also draws upon recent initiatives that have been successful in assisting in the delivery of a reduction in road casualties.

Following questions from Board members it was confirmed that the main cause

of accidents is inappropriate driver behaviour and the strategy targets this through prevention. It was also noted that local targets fit with the national target-setting.

The Board noted the Road Safety Plan and its commitment to a partnership

approach. 6. Legacy 2014 Bid Audrey Sutton reported to the Board on the bid to the Scottish Government

Legacy 2014 Physical Activity Fund.

The North Physical Activity and Sport Partnership, comprising North Ayrshire Council, KA Leisure Ltd and NHS Ayrshire and Arran successfully submitted a bid to the Scottish Government Legacy 2014 Physical Activity Fund managed by Spirit 2012. £70,000 has been awarded for one year. From the funds received, £7,000 has been allocated for external evaluation of the project.

The funding will support the development of the Active North Ayrshire (ANA) community based Exercise on Referral Programme which is delivered by KA Leisure. The funds will enable a specific referral pathway for individuals with mental health issues and is titled ‘Mind and Be Active’. The links between the new mental health services in Irvine, and the review of the Mental Health Strategy and this programme were highlighted by Iona Colvin.

Cllr Dickson commended those involved with developing the programme.

7. Alcohol and Drug Partnership- Recovery at Work Group Mark Gallagher gave an overview of the recovery oriented systems of care

(ROSC) approach. ROSC is about client centred care, looking at the whole person’s circumstances and not just treating an addiction.

Cheryl Gilmour spoke to the Board about Café Solace. This is a community

resource providing low cost, good quality food and opportunity for the people of North Ayrshire. It is run by volunteers in recovery, all with appropriate training, experience and qualifications, who want to support their local community. As well as the opportunity to build social networks in a safe and welcoming place, Café Solace offers a chance to find out important information about services and supports, about what’s going on in North Ayrshire and how people might get involved. It is open every Wednesday from 5-8pm at the Church of the Nazarene in Ardrossan. Initially it was expected that 10-20 customers per night would visit but there have been 1500 customers since June 2015. A second location for another Café Solace is being considered.

Angela Reid spoke about her personal experience of the Recovery at Work group and of working in Café Solace. She commented on the team work and the skills and confidence she has developed through participation. The Chair thanked the presenters and congratulated them on the success of this area of work.

8. Enterprise Area Patrick Wiggins presented an update on the Enterprise Area in Irvine since it was

designated in 2012. He highlighted the strong links to Glaxo Smith Kline and briefed the Board on GSK’s recent power production developments. The financial incentives and business supports in place have led to the following successes: over 100,000 sq ft of space let, 9 businesses invested in i3, over £100m capital investment, 411 permanent jobs attracted plus 534 contractors. The existing business premises are now fully occupied and they are moving to a new build programme. This is challenging due to market failure.

Following comment on the Ayrshire Growth Deal by Jim Reid it was agreed that it would be useful for a future CPP Board to receive a briefing on this. John Burns commented that Irvine Bay and NHS Ayrshire and Arran should discuss opportunities for linking into the Enterprise Area and build on opportunities for research and development. Additionally, NHS Ayrshire and Arran may be able to provide business incubator space.

9. Locality Approach Audrey Sutton gave an update on progress with the Locality Approach.

Consultation workshops across North Ayrshire have been carried out with one still to take place in Cumbrae. There have been good levels of engagement and the comments received are currently being analysed. An update on the output of the consultation will be provided to the Board. She highlighted the award received from the Consultation Institute which recognises the effective partnership approach taken to the consultation.

10. Governance:

a. Audit Scotland Correspondence

Morna Rae advised of a recent letter from Audit Scotland which is follow up to our previous audit. The letter presents a positive view and is complimentary of North Ayrshire CPP.

b. Meetings with Chair of the CPP Morna Rae updated the Board on one-to-one meetings that the Chair of the Board had with each Board member to seek their views on how well they feel the CPP and the Board operates. They were asked for their views on the timing, frequency and content of meetings, their ability to challenge/ comment and feedback and to input generally. The feedback from Board members was generally very positive. There was a feeling that although the agendas are busy it was dealt with well, so keeping the frequency of meetings manageable. There was also a belief that the governance and scrutiny aspects were well covered within the agenda and Board members felt able to challenge when necessary. There was also comment that the Elected Members participate well and are very informed about most agenda topics. Suggestions for improvement include Board away days to allow people to interact and increase awareness of the remit of other organisations and holding Board meetings at partner premises. c. Single Outcome Agreement Development

The Development Day to look at reviewing the Single Outcome Agreement was well attended and good debate and discussion was initiated though the evidence arising from consultation and the recent feedback from the People’s Panel. Four issues were agreed as being priorities or themes these included the three current SOA priorities plus children and young people. Further work on the SOA will take place with a view to the new plan being developed by March 2015. d. SOA Six Monthly Performance Report

Linda Brough provided an update on the performance status of the SOA action plan at 6 months. Two indicators were slightly adrift and relevant information was provided in relation to this. Generally the Board agreed that the partners are making good progress towards the annual targets.

11. Chairs’ Reports

a. Safer North Ayrshire Partnership

Tim Ross provided the SNAP Chairs report to the board. He asked that the Board note a positive improvement regarding bonfire night and a decrease in violence towards services. An update was provided on the White Ribbon Campaign to end domestic violence. He also pointed out that the road safety campaign will begin tomorrow.

33

b. Children’s Services Strategic Partnership

Iona Colvin provided an update and advised that following a period of development and consultation, the Children’s Services Plan will be brought to the CPP Board in March.

c. Health and Social Care Partnership

Cllr Dickson presented a report updating on the work of the Health and Social Care Partnership. The Board discussed care at home services and the increasing demands for care work.

12. Urgent and Future Agenda Items

Board members were encouraged to sign the White Ribbon Campaign pledge never to commit, condone or remain silent about men’s violence against women in all its forms. The pledge forms part of the 16 days of action against gender violence.

The next meeting of the CPP Board is 24 March 2015 at 10.30am within the Council Chambers, Cunninghame House, Irvine.

NORTH AYRSHIRE COUNCIL

Agenda Item 10 17 February 2016

North Ayrshire Council

Title: Designation of Polling Districts and Polling Places

Purpose: To seek approval for the replacement venues for use as Polling Places for forthcoming Elections and Referenda.

Recommendation: Agree to (a) approve the Polling Scheme detailed at Appendix 2 for use in future elections; and (b) authorise the Chief Executive as Returning/Counting Officer to approve such changes to the list of proposed venues as may be necessary to meet unforeseen circumstances.

1. Executive Summary

1.1 Scottish Parliamentary Elections will take place across Scotland on Thursday 5 May 2016 between the hours of 7.00am and 10.00pm. A Referendum on the United Kingdom's membership of the European Union is also scheduled to take place by the end of 2017 but a date has not yet been confirmed. Local Government Elections will also take place in May 2017.

2. Background

2.1 The proposed Polling Scheme for use in future elections is attached at Appendix 2. The main changes are as follows.

2.2 Fullarton Community Centre is normally used as a Polling Place in connection with Polling District N111 accommodating 3 polling stations. Due to building works, this venue is unavailable for use for all Elections and Referenda taking place in 2016. Fullarton Community centre will again be available for use in 2017. An alternative venue has been identified at Loudoun Montgomery Primary School solely for any 2016 electoral events. The school is located near to the Fullarton Centre and is ideally situated to serve voters allocated to it. The school will remain open to pupils and segregation will be put in place to ensure the safety of the school children while ensuring ease of voting for electors.

35

2.3 Glencairn Annex, Stevenston is normally used as a Polling Place in connection with Polling Districts N407 and N410 accommodating 3 polling stations. This site will no longer be available for future electoral events. A proposed alternative venue has been identified as the High Kirk Hall, Stevenston.

2.4 Both venues identified above have good accessibility, ample parking and meet the requirements for polling places as specified by the Electoral Commission.

2.5 A list of designated Polling District and Polling Places detailing the proposed replacement venues is attached at Appendix 1. The Polling Scheme for the Scottish Parliamentary Election constituencies of Cunninghame South and Cunninghame North is attached at Appendix 2.

3. Proposals

3.1 It is recommended that (a) Loudoun Montgomerie Primary School be utilised as a replacement polling place for Fullarton Community Centre for all 2016 electoral events; (b) Fullarton Community Centre be re-instated for use for electoral events from 2017 onwards; and (c) the High Kirk Hall, Stevenston be utilised as a replacement polling place for Glencairn Annex for all future electoral events.

3.2 It is further recommended that the Chief Executive, as Returning/Counting Officer, is authorised to approve such changes to the list of proposed venues as may be necessary to meet unforeseen circumstances.

4. Implications

Financial: The costs associated with hiring venues as polling places for all, except Local Government elections, are reclaimed from national Government.

Human Resources: None

Legal: NoneEquality: All polling places are assessed and checked to

ensure that they are accessible to all voters.Environmental & Sustainability:

None

Key Priorities: The choice of Polling places which are accessible to voters can increase voter turnout and contribute to the priority of an efficient and effective Council.

Community Benefits: None

36

5. Consultation

5.1 Discussions have taken place with Education and Youth Employment to minimise the impact on polling day of the operation of the schools being used as polling places.
