Report from Head of Regeneration and Improvement

Time Expired Activity 2006/07: Progress Report

1 Purpose of Report

The purpose of this report is to update Directors on the work undertaken to date by the corporate Time Expiry Working Group in identifying activity currently funded from external sources which becomes time expired on 31st March 2006, or at some point during the financial year 2006/2007.

2 Summary

Research so far indicates that:

  • There are 162 projects managed by the Council, the voluntary sector and other statutory organisations which become time expired in 2006/07, drawing on total funds of £29,205,985.
  • 15 projects will come to a natural end during this period and 20 have identified further funding. The total value of these projects is £1,065,038.
  • Of the remaining 127 projects 88 are managed by Salford City Council to a value of £25,930,452 either in whole or in part through external sources.
  • £10,244,043 of this is not time expired in 2006/07, leaving £15,686,409 as the amount of time expired funding that will need to be replaced or managed out.

This report provides information on the 127 projects that are without any confirmed funding at the moment and specifically on the 88 that are Council managed.

3 Time Expired Activity

Of the 127 projects currently without confirmed funding 88 of these are managed by the City Council, while a further 23 are managed by the voluntary sector and 16 by other statutory agencies. (A full list of all the projects can be found at Appendix A)

The following table demonstrates that these 88 projects currently draw on a total of £15,686,409 which will become time expired in 2006/07.

Although some funding sources will still be available beyond March 2006, at present we have limited certainty of how much funding will be available and in some cases the criteria for allocation.

  • Children’s Fund - £2.7m is confirmed for 05/08. A decision will be made on what projects to fund by September at the latest.
  • European Structural Funds – Talks are ongoing between the UK Government and the European Commission and at present no new sources of funding can be confirmed to cover the period 2007-13.
  • GONW – Currently pays for Positive Action for Young People and future allocations are unknown.
  • HMRF - funding will be limited to capital activity during the next phase of funding from April 2006 with very little or none available to spend on revenue activity.
  • NRF - There are indications that the NRF resources available will be lower than previous allocations, which may have implications for the City Council’s budget. The above table shows that during the current financial year £5,807,814 worth of Neighbourhood Renewal Funding contributes to mainstream (base budget) activity, principally in Community and Social Services and Education and Leisure.
  • NDC – Have an indicative programme of £10m for 06/07 which may not be confirmed until March 2006.
  • Teenage Pregnancy Local Implementation Grant - From April 2006 the specific Teenage Pregnancy LIG will no longer be ring-fenced and £158,000 will form part of SCC settlement.
  • Sure Start Plus (Teenage Pregnancy) - Local programmes are expected to evaluate elements of their programmes for funding by mainstream after 2006.

Appendix B gives further details on when we can expect this picture to become clearer.

4 Staffing

Work is currently being undertaken in conjunction with departmental accountants and HR to identify the number of staff who are funded through time expired activity. Information is being collected around the posts affected to assess the full potential impact of reduced funding. In some cases this task will be more difficult as external funding is offsetting mainstream base budget and individual staff cannot be identified against external funding. Where necessary therefore it is intended to estimate the number of staff who could be affected by time expired funding.

Under our HR Strategy those employees on fixed term contracts which are coming to an end will be assisted by both management and Directorate's HR teamthrough the redeployment process and helped to obtain other posts within the City Council. Some employees may have substantive posts to return to and this process will also be facilitated. However those employees who are unable to obtain a post prior to the end of their contract will be entitled to a redundancy payment if they have the requisite service (two years). The information obtained through our current work will be used to establish the financial implications of such a situation.

5 Next Steps

Proformas are currently being completed on all the projects listed identifying succession strategies and project/service performance. This will inform an evaluation process and assist in the prioritisation of activity for future funding.

Projects which identify future funding as sources come online over the course of the coming months will be removed from the schedule and future reports will reflect this accordingly. The time expiry reports are constantly evolving and the information presented here represents the picture as of 21st July 2005.

The information presented here will form the basis of discussions at the next meeting of Directors on 28th July. Following this we will be taking the report to the Regeneration Initiatives Officer Working Group and Cabinet Working Group on 8th and 22nd August respectively.
