Community Governance Reviews pdf icon PDF 218 KB

As part of the Local Government Boundary Review of North Norfolk District Council conducted in 2017 a small number of historical parish boundary anomalies or “misplaced” properties were identified, which can only be corrected or addressed through a formal process of Community Governance Reviews.

 

Further, there are three locations in the District where, based on rates of development, provision of major infrastructure and changing land-use / community identities, parish boundaries would now appear anomalous and could benefit from some revision to better reflect community identities and the use of local services and facilities and therefore parish precepts.

 

The Elections Team has therefore developed a new project programme to undertake these Community Governance Reviews during 2021; which, if approved through public consultation, would be implemented and reflected in Council Tax billing and future Registers of Electors from April 2022

 

RECOMMENDED:-

 

That Full Council approve proposals to undertake a programme of Community Governance Reviews during 2021 based on the matters detailed in the report, with final proposals / recommendations being brought back to Full Council in November or December 2021.

Notice(s) of Motion

The following Motion is proposed by Cllr D Baker, seconded by Cllr C Cushing:


Throughout the coronavirus pandemic we have seen our care professionals rise to the challenge to look after, care for and help our elderly and most vulnerable in society.

The need for the widest recognition of the vital and hugely valuable work social care professionals professionals do for, and in our communities has never been greater.

So many people in North Norfolk have benefitted from the tireless work of these professionals and whose quality of life is, and has been, immeasurably enhanced by the care and compassion, and the skills and knowledge of this cohort of care providers who do so much for others.

We therefore propose the following recommendation:

1. NNDC states publicly its support for and commitment to the ‘Developing skills in health and social care’ project.

2. A Cabinet member is identified as the member who will take responsibility for supporting this valuable project and championing the project at a senior strategic level. This Cabinet member will report to Full Council regularly on progress.

3. A member of staff is named as lead officer on supporting this project and who will work closely with members of the DSHSC project team, and project partners, to:
(a) promote this excellent initiative and promote links to wider initiatives across North Norfolk,
(b) collate information on the implementation of the project in North Norfolk,

(c) help to address any barriers to individuals joining the scheme.

Exclusion of Press and Public
