Background 1.1 The Policy and Strategy committee agreed, in March 2019, that all projects from 2019/20 onwards, recommended by Community Matters partnerships (now replaced by Community Boards) should be subject to agreement by the former Youth, Equalities Executive Summary This report provides an update on progress with the Community Board Local Development Programme (LDP) projects previously approved by committee. In addition, the report seeks in principle approval for new potential projects as proposed by local community groups. Recommendations It is recommended that the Communities Committee: (1) recognises progress with the remaining 2022/23 programme onwards and approve projects which have potential for delivery in future financial years depending on availability of budget and community support (Appendix 1); (2) recognise the capital budget allocated to the LDP for each Community Board area for the next five financial years (Appendix 2); (3) approves amendments to existing projects and further project proposals and project criteria; (4) acknowledge current challenges faced in achieving delivery of the Local Development Programme; The Plan for North Lanarkshire Priority All priorities Ambition statement (20) Improve the involvement of communities in the decisions, and development of services and supports, that affect them

and Empowerment Committee before proceeding beyond the in-principle/ conceptual stage. Further approvals will now be sought through the Communities Committee as required. 1.2 The Covid-19 pandemic impacted severely on the ability to deliver projects due to restrictions in relation to the construction industry. However, since the relaxation in restrictions, there has been positive progress and with work continuing to deliver relevant projects. Only projects that had been deemed essential and legally contracted were able to proceed. 1.3 Budget details have now been finalised as part of the council’s Strategic Capital Investment Programme for the 5-year period from 2021/22 to 2025/26, with an agreed allocation of £1.5m for each of the next 5 years. An additional £500k was approved as part of the council’s revenue budget for 2021/22. These sums are reflected in the breakdown of funding included in Appendix 2. 1.4 The amount allocated to each area reflects a reduction of up to 10% which will be earmarked for delivery and other associated costs in relation to agreed projects, this will include technical support, tendering processes, design and project management and administration. 2. Report 2.1 Criteria for Local Development Programme 2.1.1 To be eligible for inclusion in the Community Board Local Development Programme, projects must meet the priorities of the Local Outcome Improvement Plan and substantially subscribe to previously agreed criteria. The following are examples of some of the key criteria: • link to LOIP priorities • be publicly visible and accessible; • come from community groups or individual; • improve community safety; • benefit a large number of people; • improve the appearance of an area • maximise the use of alternative sources of funding. • be a capital projects on council owned land All Local Development Programme proposal forms should indicate which, if any, of the Local Outcome Improvement Plan priorities the project supports. Where the project does not align with identified priorities, evidence must be provided to show how the project will support improved local outcomes. 2.2 Project progress • Information on current and potential future projects is contained within Appendix 1. • Please note the figures in Appendix 1 are notional/indicative potential project costs and that no budget has been allocated to specific projects. • The Community Board Local Development Programme highlights the council’s commitment to community led neighbourhood regeneration.
Page 3
• Prioritisation work has been undertaken taking account of the allocated budgets and criteria to schedule project delivery of the current holding over the five-year budget cycle. These priorities may change as projects develop and clearer costs become available. • Where feasibility checks have identified that the project is not viable, the recommendation within Appendix 1 is to delete such projects from the list moving forward. 2.2.1 Current Delivery Challenges Delivery of the Local Development Programme has faced a number of challenges during the current financial year due to a range of external factors. These can be summarised broadly into the following 3 categories. Cost Inflation Cost inflation is being experienced across all projects in relation to material supply and labour. Raw materials such as timber, steel, bitmac surfacing and play area safety surfacing have seen price rises of over 60% due to a combination of factors including Brexit, Covid 19 impacts and an increase in petroleum costs due to the war in Ukraine. Project budgets are being revised and reprofiled to ensure successful delivery but this impacts on project led times. Labour Shortages There is currently a shortage of suitable installers for play area projects. This has led to a greatly increased lead in time for projects. Whilst previously we would have anticipated a site start approximately 6-8 weeks from contract award, this has new extended to 4-6 months. The uncertainty around installer availability has made it difficult to estimate project timelines and we continue to work with suppliers to manage this. Market Capacity and Demand Due to the current Scottish Government funding relating to play area upgrades, there is a greatly increased demand across all local authorities to secure contracts relating to this. This has led to the market being unable to cope with the demand and becoming selective in which tenders they bid for. The direct impact for our authority is that multiple play area sites which were tendered in 2022 received zero bids and could not progress. To address this, budgets were reprofiled and sites have been grouped together in larger lots to make the contract more attractive to the market. We do not anticipate a short- term improvement in this situation and as such, will continue to look at our tender structure and process to ensure we continue to deliver sites which meet our communities’ aspirations. 3. Measures of success 3.1 Projects delivered within agreed timescales taking into account all relevant factors and budgetary considerations. 3.2 Local communities involved from the earliest stage in the development of project designs and delivery and are generally satisfied with the outcome. 3.3 People in communities whose voices are seldom heard are engaged in putting forward/influencing projects within their community. 3.4 The governance role of the Community Boards is consolidated in terms of project development, approvals and monitoring processes.

Yes ☒ No ☐ If Yes, please provide a brief summary of the impact? The LDP is discussed widely with community groups and local consultation will be communicated as required. In conjunction with local communities, a communications approach will ensure that projects are promoted positively. 5.9 Risk impact Is there a risk impact? Yes ☒ No ☐ If Yes, please provide a brief summary of the key risks and potential impacts, highlighting where the risk(s) are assessed and recorded (e.g. Corporate or Service or Project Risk Registers), and how they are managed? There are no significant financial risks which have been identified at this stage in the financial year, however this will continue to be closely monitored. Some projects may not proceed as a result of e.g., community consultation or site investigations and outstanding budgets will be re-allocated to other projects which will be reported to a future Community Board. It should be acknowledged that there are nationwide challenges in relation to supply of materials and there is also an impact on material costs leading to potentially higher contract costs which could impact on delivery of projects.
