There was submitted a report by the Chief Executive, Renfrewshire Council relative to possible implications for Renfrewshire of the vote to leave the European Union.

 

The report advised that following the vote for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union in the June 2016 Referendum, Community Planning Partnership (CPP) partners in Renfrewshire required to consider the implications for each organisation and for Renfrewshire CPP as a whole.

 

A report by the Chief Executive regarding the possible implications for Renfrewshire of the vote to leave the European Union had been considered at the Council’s Leadership Board on 14 September 2016 and was attached as an appendix to the report which informed discussion about the potential impact on CPP partners.

 

S Black intimated that the Council and many of the CPP partners would be affected directly by Brexit and asked for agreement to form a short lift Brexit working group in order to open dialogue and develop an exit strategy.

 

DECIDED:

 

(a)   That the report attached at Appendix 1 be noted as the basis for discussion about the implications for Brexit for each CPP  partner; and 

 

(b)   That it be agreed that CPP partners participate in a Brexit working group to be established by the Chief Executive of Renfrewshire Council.

There was submitted a report by the Director of Development & Housing Services relative to the 10 year action plan for Paisley town centre.

 

The report advised that the regeneration of Paisley’s Town Centre remained one of the key priorities of the Renfrewshire Council Plan and although a number of action plans and master plans had been prepared in the past these did not reflect the current context in relation to the investment in the three Renfrewshire City Deal projects or the preparation of the Council’s bid for UK City of Culture 2021.

 

The Action Plan aimed to achieve an identification of the key priorities for Paisley Town Centre in the current context, and had identified these priority locations to outline a series of short, medium and longer term objectives for each area.

 

It was noted that a public consultation would take place during the latter part of 2016 which would include publicity of the draft Action Plan’s existence via the usual digital channels as well as traditional media coverage; a public event where interested parties could “drop-in” and engage with officers; and specific consultation meetings with key stakeholders.  Following the consultation and engagement, officers would bring back the agreed 10 year Action Plan for Paisley Town Centre to a subsequent meeting of the Board.

 

DECIDED:   That the draft Paisley Town Centre Action Plan and the intention for it to be subject to consultation during autumn 2016 be noted.

There was submitted a report by the Head of Policy and Commissioning, Renfrewshire Council relative to Renfrewshire’s Local Improvement Plan and the progress against Year 3 targets.

 

The report advised that the progress made by the six Thematic Boards of the Community Planning Partnership in achieving the 10-year targets was regularly monitored and reported to the Partnership Board. The appendix detailed the progress made by each Board in the three years since the Renfrewshire Community Plan 2013/23 was agreed.

 

In addition to the progress made against specific community planning impact measures, Renfrewshire Community Planning Partnership had provided the basis for strong partnership working to be taken forward across a range of strategic issues that had developed since the launch of the Community Plan in 2013 and the strategic developments were outlined within the report.

 

The report advised that significant progress had been made in achieving the challenging targets set in 2013, with the majority of impact measures where data was available either on, or ahead of, target to be achieved at the three year milestone. Of the 80 impact measures that there was data for, it was noted that 52 year 3 targets were met or exceeded, 14 measures were within 10% of target (amber) and 14 measures were 10% or more behind target (red).

(a)   That the year 3 performance of impact measures against the targets be noted;

 

(b)   That it be agreed that the thematic boards would provide a spotlight report to the next Community Planning Partnership Board meeting on 7 December 2016 which would include details of further improvement actions to mitigate the key challenges identified at section 3.5 within the report;

 

(c)   That it be agreed that, within the report referred to in recommendation (b), each Thematic Board would also provide performance data for those indicators where data was unavailable in September 2016;

 

(d)   That the revisions to the Renfrewshire’s Local Outcome Improvement Plan be agreed;

There was submitted a report by the Head of Policy and Commissioning, Renfrewshire Council relative to a new release of the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) which was issued on 31 August 2016.

 

The report advised that the SIMD 2016 provided new data on relative deprivation across Scotland at local authority and small area level. A report was submitted to Renfrewshire Council’s Leadership Board on 14 September 2016 on the SIMD 2016 release and was attached as an appendix to the report.

 

It was noted that while one datazone within the Ferguslie Park area was ranked as the most deprived in the country, Renfrewshire as a whole saw its share of the most deprived areas nationally decrease.  The number of people in Renfrewshire identified as income and employment deprived decreased by 6% and 15% respectively on the 2012 release. These reductions were mirrored in Ferguslie Park where there were 6% fewer income deprived and 17% fewer employment deprived people identified. Key findings and next steps were also highlighted within the report.

 

DECIDED:

 

(a)   That the SIMD 2016 release and the key related findings in relation to Renfrewshire be noted;

 

(b)   That the initial information available in light of existing priorities and partnership actions be noted;

 

(c)   That it be agreed that the thematic boards would consider the available data and review existing programmes of work in relation to these findings; and

 

(d)   That it be agreed that SIMD 2016 would inform the development of the Local Outcome Improvement Plan 2017.
