A Leaner Greener City CouncilIt would be difficult not tohave noticed the changesthat central governmenthas been making recentlyto public services, and thepotential impact on localgovernment should not be underestimated.

Winchester City Council has beenworking hard for a number of years tobecome a more efficient organisationand has already made upwards of £1.5million of efficiency savings. However,the latest round of government cuts andchanges will mean the organisation hasto look even harder at what we do andwhy we do it.

The Council’s remit is to provide thepriority services that its residents want.This means that we will be looking withfresh eyes at how we are set up, whatservices we provide and how weprovide them. This major piece of workcould mean that how you contact thecouncil, who you normally speak to, orthe standards you have come to expectmay change slightly. We will be workinghard to ensure we maintain ourcustomer service excellence accreditationbut we want to work with you asresidents to ensure we are providingpriority services in a way that will makethe most difference in our communities,while making what could be difficultdecisions for both services and ourworkforce. The Council will be open andtransparent about the changes it mayhave to make and will be seeking yourinput where appropriate to help makethe best decisions.

With a renewed focus on why and howwe provide services we also have a cleardirection to make the council and ourcommunities greener places to work andlive. Priority is being given to climatechange projects and reducing our carbonfootprint. Work is already on-going withour climate change action plan and theCouncil is a key member of the teamworking on the Winchester Declarationon Climate Change and is committed toreducing its carbon emissions by 20% by2012. The Council cannot make thechanges required on its own, we alsoneed you as residents to help to make adifference and ways that you can playyour part, be inspired and lower youremissions and bills are on the next page.

The City Council aims to introduce anAmerican-style volunteer ‘greeters’scheme to give a personal welcome toWinchester’s 4 million visitors as we getready to ‘welcome the world’ in the runup to the 2012 London Olympic andParalympic Games. ‘Visit Winchester’Greeters would act as ambassadors andintroduce people to ‘their Winchester’.

If you are passionate, knowledgeableand enthusiastic about your city andenjoy meeting people, this could be aunique opportunity for you. Do you

have a special interest such as localfood, cycling or fishing that you couldshare with our visitors?

We would like to encourage volunteersfrom all walks of life and a wide rangeof ages. ‘Greets’ last up to four hoursand would abide by the Global GreeterNetwork standards(www.globalgreeternetwork.info).

Volunteers would need to commit tobasic training during the winter of 2010and at least two greets per month.

Did you know local planning is changing?On 6 July this year theGovernment revoked theSouth East Plan withimmediate effect, meaningit no longer applies.The plan had directed planning policyat District level, including settingtargets for the amount of new housingto be built in the District by 2026 andproviding strategic planning guidanceon matters such as climate change,preparing for an ageing population,and countryside issues.

Since the election of the CoalitionGovernment in May, many suggestionshave been made about ‘reforms’ to theplanning system, including references to‘localism’ and ‘The Big Society’. Whilstmore details are still emerging on howthese will affect the Council’s LocalDevelopment Framework, the Councilhas taken the decision to delay progresson its Core Strategy. This will allow for

further evidence gathering andcommunity consultation on the amountand type of new housing that shouldnow be provided in the District. Therewill still need to be consideration of theissues of an ageing population andproviding more affordable homes so thatpeople who work in the District can alsolive locally, either in Winchester or one ofour smaller towns and villages.

Community EventsA series of events has been planned togive local communities the opportunity todiscuss local needs for new homes andother forms of development which mayneed to be provided. These events will benot only be about the numbers of newhomes that should be provided, but alsowho they are needed for – it may belocal people wishing to retire anddownsize, young adults wishing to havetheir own home rather than living withmum and dad, or new couples wishing tostart a family in a house with a garden.

Due to the level ofhouse prices in theDistrict, another keyissue to be addressed isaffordability. Manypeople, particularly theyoung, cannot afford tobuy their own homesand will require someform of financialsubsidy. Discussion ofthese issues will helpensure that localhousing needs can be planned for andsites identified, allowing new homes to bebuilt to meet the real needs of differenttypes of people.

Information from these discussions willinform a revised Core Strategy to bepublished in 2011.

The Council’s capital budget finances the purchase of equipment or land that willprovide economic benefits over a number of years. Major refurbishment costs andsome grants are also included in this expenditure.

The preparation of the capital budget is aligned to the Sustainable Community Strategyto show where money is being spent on each of the five priorities in the CorporateBusiness Plan. The main corporate priority is identified for each line of capital.

Capital Expenditure in 2009/10 was identified against the corporate priorities as follows:

1 Inclusive Society £4,626,000

2 Efficient & Effective Council £3,556,000

3 High Quality Environment £674,000

4 Cross cutting / all £ 92,000

5 Health & Wellbeing £500,000

6 Safe & Strong Communities £111,000

7 Economic Prosperity £1,707,000

Key capital projects this year included re-roofing of the Westgate, High Streetrefurbishment, Tower street refurbishment, synthetic turf pitch at Henry Beaufort,and £200,000 lottery funding enabled 2 children’s woodland playsites to becompleted with 2 more coming soon.

Q. How much did the council spend?The Council’s gross expenditure (after adjustment for the partial reversal of CouncilHousing impairments) was £79 million, while the income generated from Councilactivities (such as rent from council tenants) was £61 million. The shortfall isfunded by other external sources. These include council tax, grants from CentralGovernment and business rates. The total amount of expenditure funded by counciltax was £8.7 million, which is 11% of the Council’s gross annual expenditure.Business rates are collected locally and paid to the Government. The national totalis then redistributed by Government when the grant settlement is announced.Winchester City Council collected £44.9 million from its businesses, but onlyreceived £5.7 million (13%) of that collected in the redistribution.

A. £79 million

Q. How much is the council worth? A. £442 million

Q. What was spent on capital projects? A. £11 million

At 31 March 2010, the Council had assets of £514 million and total liabilities of£72 million, giving a net worth of £442 million. However, this includes theCouncil’s housing stock of more than 5,000 houses and flats with a total value of£394 million. The Council’s reserves at 31 March 2010 included £4.7 million,which can be used for financing capital expenditure plus earmarked revenuereserves of £6.8 million. It is Council policy that the unallocated level of revenuereserves should not fall below £2 million and this amount is kept in a separatereserve known as the General Fund Balance.

At present, the full Council of 57councillors - elects the Leader of theCouncil to serve for one year, andappoints up to 9 other councillors toform a Cabinet. Cabinet Membersare responsible for making mostpolicy and spending decisions. Theremaining councillors are responsiblefor scrutinising - checking andchallenging - the decisions of theCabinet, although some also makedecisions on planning and licensingapplications. Full Council approvesthe annual budget. The Mayor chairsthe full Council meetings and has acivic ceremonial role representing theCouncil at events throughout theDistrict.

What are the two options?How it works now

adopt the revised model of decision making with aLeader (chosen by elected councillors) and a Cabinet(chosen by the Leader), or

change to a directly Elected Mayor (elected onceevery four years) and a Cabinet (chosen by theElected Mayor)

No Preference

The Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 requires us to change someof the ways we run the Council, and we would like your views on the best option to choose.This is likely to be a short term arrangement as the new Coalition Government has advised that it may make further changeswhich would come into effect in 2012. This could give more discretion to councils on how they make decisions, including anoption to return to the traditional committee decision making system. However, the Government has said that, as the 2007 Actis still in force, it is still necessary to consult on the new options for running the Council listed below.

Leader with Cabinet This option is similar to how the Council is run now. However, instead of thewhole Council (all 57 City Councillors) deciding who will be the Council Leaderand which Councillors will make up the Cabinet, they can only decide who willbe the Leader. The Leader would remain in office for four years instead of oneyear and would be able to appoint up to 9 other Councillors, including a DeputyLeader to form a Cabinet. The Leader could exercise all Cabinet functions ordelegate decision making. The whole Council would be able to remove theCouncil Leader from office. A Civic Mayor would continue to be appointedannually to carry out ceremonial duties.

Directly Elected Mayor and Cabinet With this option there would be a direct election to elect an individual as Mayorto remain in office for four years. The Mayor is not a City Councillor and is inaddition to the 57 City Councillors. The directly Elected Mayor will be able toappoint up to 9 Councillors, including a Deputy Mayor to form the Cabinet. Thewhole Council would not be able to remove a directly Elected Mayor from office.The Mayor can exercise all Cabinet functions or delegate decision making. Thetraditional, non political role of the civic Mayor can continue, but it may require anew title to differentiate it from the directly Elected Mayor’s role.

The £3.2millionrenovation andrestoration schemefor GuildhallWinchester is now infull flow, and is set tobe complete by theend of 2010.The project uses £1.4mof funding from thelegacy of the late Bapsy,Marchioness ofWinchester, whobequeathed money tothe Council for thespecific purpose ofdeveloping theGuildhall. Indian bornBapsybanoo Parvey,who died in 1995, alsoleft a magnificent fulllength portrait of herself to display in TheGuildhall. Her generous bequest will resultin a superb new facility within theGuildhall in which her portrait willtake pride of place.

The refurbishment project will notonly help the Guildhall to continueto attract visitors from far and widebut will also enable the venue to beused increasingly by the communityand make it a real hub for local residentsactivity. The brand new eatery eighteen71(the name is inspired by the date the

foundation stone was laid) has nowopened on the Broadway and is alreadybecoming a popular space for people tomeet, have informal business lunches orstay late and have a glass of wine whileoverlooking the beautiful Abbey Houseand Gardens.

As well as the extensive refurbishment ofthe main hall, conference chamber, andnew multi purpose ground floor space, theproject will also include improved access,lifts to all floors, new carpets, doors andlighting, refurbished staircases, and newdisplay areas for items from the city's artand museums collections. The work willalso improve the energy efficiency of thebuilding through the installation of modernenergy saving features and improvedinsulation throughout the building and aspart of the refurbished roof.

The project is being conducted in stages,allowing the building to remain openmost of the time, however the buildingwill have limited access for several weeksfrom 26 July to mid September, to allowfor significant works to be carried outsafely. eighteen71 will remain openthough so it is a good opportunity to

sample the new local producemenu before the rest of

the venue is fully open.This project will notaffect access to theTourist InformationCentre.
