Decision:
The Director approves:
1. the terms (and implementation) of settlement of the Disputes (as
more particularly set out in the related decision report);
and
2. the terms (and implementation) of the related contract
variations (as more particularly set out in the related decision
report).
The decisions will realise savings of over £250k and it is
also considered that the decision should be published in the
interest of ensuring accountability and transparency, but (in
accordance with Article 13) it is not considered a key decision
as:
a) the settlement is a reconciliation of normal invoicing processes
within the Street Lighting PFI Scheme and the variation is an
operational change in accordance with the contract terms (i.e.
these are decisions which are a direct consequence of implementing
a previous key decision); and
b) the payment resolves a long standing dispute with the contractor
(i.e. is in settlement of proceedings to which the Council is a
party).

Decision:
The Natural Environment Manager did not to
authorise the City Solicitor to make an Extinguishment Order under
the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 for the footpath between
Chapel Yard and Chapel Street, Halton for the following
reasons:
(a) There is no physical building work to be carried out over the
line of the footpath, only gardens and fences. Public rights of way
can run through gardens, therefore it is not considered necessary
for the footpath to be extinguished to allow the development to be
carried out.
(b) Provision could also have been made to divert the footpath
through the central courtyard and then down to and along the
southern boundary of the site to join the existing footpath at the
north western corner of the library. Diversions are always
preferable to outright extinguishment.
(c) The footpath provides a well-used link between the library and
other local facilities for local residents including by nursery
school children. The alternative route involves the use of a narrow
pavement alongside a busy road where the width is reduced by a bus
stop. The effects of the Order on those entitled to use it should
be taken into account before confirming an Extinguishment
Order.
(d) The footpath provides the only access to an adjoining
property’s bin store and no attempt has been made to provide
alternative access or provision. The effects of the Order on those
entitled to use it should be taken into account before confirming
an Extinguishment Order.
(e) The applicant has already commenced work on site and is
expected to complete the development by the end of November or
beginning of December. Public Path Extinguishment Orders under the
Town and Country Planning Act 1990 cannot be made or confirmed if
the development is already substantially complete.

Decision:
In April 2013, Local Authorities took the lead from the NHS for improving the health of their local communities. As part of this process, public health budgets were protected until 2015/16 in order to drive local efforts to improve health and wellbeing by tackling the wider determinants of poor health.
As part of the transfer to the Council, the three contracts held with Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Leeds and York Partnership Foundation NHS Trust were reviewed and were provided with new contracts based on Department of Health/Local Authority terms and conditions starting from 1st April 2013 for one year with the provision to extend for a further 2 x 12 months (maximum of 3 years). The total value of these contracts is £4.8 million.
These contracts provide key public health services including weight management, healthy lifestyle, smoking cessation, school nurses, infection control and other smaller contracts. These services are required to support the mandatory and statutory public health responsibilities of the Council, and to contribute towards meeting the outcomes set out in the health and wellbeing strategy.
As part of this extension process; all of the services have been subject to a review in terms of need, performance and providing value for money. Some minor contract variations are proposed as an outcome of this review.
These contract extensions enable the Public Health Directorate to continue to work with the Public Private Partnerships and Procurement Unit (PPPU & PU) to develop their strategic commissioning priorities and undertake a structured staged approach to re-commissioning which can be resourced effectively in order to obtain the best quality and value for money solution for the Council and the citizens of Leeds.
