North Lanarkshire Council Report People and Communities Committee Does this report require to be approved? ☒ Yes ☐ No Ref SP/MC Date 22/08/22 Community Board Local Development Programme From Stephen Penman, Head of Strategic Communication E-mail penmanste@northlan.gov.uk costellom@northlan.gov.uk Telephone 07725289559 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 People and Communities Committee: (1) recognises progress with the remaining 2021/22 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) recognises the revised project reporting format which indicates projects under development, projects seeking approval and projects which are in the delivery stage (Appendix 1) (3) recognise the capital budget allocated to the LDP for each Community Board area for the next five financial years (Appendix 2); (4) approves amendments to existing projects and further project proposals and project criteria; (5) is aware of changes to the project proposal process to ensure projects are developed to a viable stage prior to seeking approval and that further progress on the current and proposed projects will be reported to future meetings of the Community Boards. 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

1. 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 and Empowerment Committee before proceeding beyond the in-principle/ conceptual stage. Further approvals will now be sought through the People and 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 proposal forms 2.2.1 Currently all project proposals are approved in principle at the Community Board prior to the main development work being undertaken. This can lead to an extensive list of projects awaiting delivery some of which do not always proceed in a timely fashion. On occasion, approved projects are subsequently deemed not feasible and are then removed from the reporting list. 2.2.2 Project proposal forms should now be completed with support from the Community Partnership Team local officers. This will allow earlier criteria and feasibility checks to be carried out. The expectation is that a project proposer will work with the Community Partnership Team to develop the project proposal to a suitable stage prior to seeking Community Board approval. This will ensure all approved projects can proceed to delivery at the appropriate time. 2.2.3 Where potential projects are raised at a Community Board or received as an enquiry, local officers will make initial contact with the proposer to discuss the project and outline the information required at the initial stage. 2.2.4 Where required, initial engagement and consultation will be carried out to evidence project support prior to seeking approval. This engagement will support the development of an initial design specification which can be passed to the projects team for delivery. The expectation is that a project proposer will work with the Community Partnership Team to ensure that projects remain reflective of local needs and demands and are fit for purpose. 2.2.5 The additional development work carried out prior to seeking Community Board approval will strengthen the project delivery process by ensuring that only viable projects are brought forward for approval. In addition, a more robust project proposal process will allow for more efficient project delivery by allowing the project team to focus on the delivery element rather than the development stage. 2.2.6 Advice support and expert knowledge will continue to be made available at all stages of the process to ensure we deliver the best value and best outcomes possible through the local development Programme. 2.3 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. • At the Community Board meetings held in the first quarter of 2022, each of the Community Boards agreed and approved in principle projects that should now be prioritised and moved forward for delivery based on budget availability, project feasibility and evidence of local support to deliver a range of projects across each Community Board Area. • 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
Page 4
budget cycle. These priorities may change as projects develop and clearer costs become available. • Project proposal forms have been completed retrospectively for all approved projects and will continue to be completed for any further potential projects. 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. • In future, project proposal forms will be developed to a stage which can evidence feasibility, criteria eligibility and local support prior to being put forward for approval. This is to ensure that approved projects can be successfully delivered within the Local Development Programme. The Community Partnership Team will provide support to all project proposers to collate the relevant information and complete the proposal form. 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. 4.

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.
