That Cabinet agree and recommend to Full Council:

a) The fees and charges from 1 April 2021 as included in Appendix A.

b) That Delegated Authority be given to the Section 151 Officer, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Finance and relevant Heads of Service, to agree those fees and charges not included within Appendix A as required as outlined within the report

To consider any further recommendations from the Overview & Scrutiny Committee.

Please note the Overview & Scrutiny Committee meeting took place after the Council agenda was published. The Chairman will provide an oral update at the meeting.

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.

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.

To pass the following resolution – if necessary:

“That under Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972 the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the following item(s) of business on the grounds that they involve the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph(s) _ of Part 1 of Schedule 12A (as amended) to the Act.”
