We wanted to hear about the thoughts and experiences of those families that currently use transport paid for by North East Lincolnshire Council as part of our review of Children’s Transport Services.

Survey closed 22 July 2022.

The outcome of the consultation highlighted that the main themes of what was working well, were around the child getting to school/college on time, friendly, reliable and understanding transport staff, with a good relationship being built up and being kept informed by the driver/escort on what is going on. The areas that parents/carers would like to see change included wanting the same driver, staff to be trained on simple medical needs (e.g., inhalers), more flexibility and some parents would like their child to go on the bus. The outcome of the consultation work was fed back to the service area for consideration and referenced in the cabinet report of 21 December 2022 (paragraph 1.3) on Post 16 SEND Transport.

HemingwayDesign and G L Hearn have been appointed by North East Lincolnshire Council to develop a visionary masterplan for Cleethorpes.

We have undertaken a detailed programme of engagement with the community and stakeholders that has underpinned the masterplan, providing a basis for the delivery of improvements to Cleethorpes.

Here are the results. Cleethorpes Final Survey Analysis (PDF)

The masterplan is now heading into the democratic process at the Council. You can view the masterplan on our democracy website Tourism and Visitor Economy Scrutiny Panel.

This survey closed in May 2022.

In April 2021, the Government said a grant of £125 million should be paid to local authorities, to enable delivery of the new statutory duty within the Domestic Abuse Act 2021.

It is important that a local strategy is developed, in partnership, to understand how we will meet this new duty, and to develop a plan of improvements for victims of domestic abuse and their children.

We asked for your views and comments to help inform this strategy and the next steps.

Last autumn we asked people to tell us about how they use community pharmacies in North East Lincolnshire. Because of the ongoing pandemic, we also wanted to know if COVID restrictions and concerns about catching COVID had changed the way people were using pharmacy services.

More than 500 people took part and helped us to understand a lot about what people use pharmacies for, how they choose the pharmacies they use, when they visit and what the experience is like for them.

We used these results, along with a wide range of other information, to write a document called the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA). This is still a draft document and we would like people to comment on it before it is published.

Documents like this are used by the NHS to help decide which NHS funded services need to be provided by local community pharmacies.  The PNA will help make sure current services meet the needs of people living in the borough and what any future needs there might be.

We wanted to make sure the draft document makes sense to people and reflects their experiences of using pharmacies in North East Lincolnshire.

We also asked professionals who either work in pharmacies or work with patients, service users and members of the public to comment on the draft PNA.

Using the findings from this consultation, the engagement last autumn, and from other feedback, a final PNA for North East Lincolnshire will be published 1 October 2022.

Survey closed 11 September.

Survey closed 12 March 2022.

We asked you to tell us how you think the car park should look, about alternative sites for coaches and HGVs to park, and any improvements and additions you would like to see.

A single-storey extension to the existing car park will increase the number of spaces from 65 to 339, with bigger parking bays and electric vehicle charging points. It will also provide several other benefits to the resort:

  • Ease congestion in the main resort of Cleethorpes, particularly around the seafront area during the summer months
  • Provide a safer environment in and around Cleethorpes seafront, with fewer cars and buses driving through the centre
  • Cleaner air with fewer vehicles travelling and waiting around as visitors try to find a parking bay
  • Remove pressure from surrounding residential streets

Better lighting and CCTV will be introduced as part of the Park Mark Safer Parking Scheme, and improved, clearer signs to the car park will ensure it’s well-used by visitors.

Residents in Scartho and Waltham were encouraged to take part in a public consultation on plans to build two new primary schools.

The schools, which would provide much-needed school places for children aged 4 to 11, will be built on land off Matthew Telford Park in Scartho and on the land known as ‘Sunningdale’ in Waltham.

The plans for the two new schools were approved by the Council’s Cabinet in March 2022 and are expected to go through the formal planning application process in the coming months. We will then be seeking permission to begin construction around spring and summer 2023.

The consultation closed on 12 October 2022.

We asked you about the renewal of public space protection orders (PSPOs) in key public areas. They allow us to put restrictions in specific areas such as town centres, parks and beaches.

It’s important that no child is left out or left behind because of any difficulties with speaking, understanding, or communicating.

Results will be published hear when they are ready.

North East Lincolnshire is home to thousands of current and ex-serving men and women and their families from across the armed forces.
  
As part of our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant and together with other key public and private sector organisations, we are constantly seeking ways to strengthen those existing partnerships and help the local armed forces community. 

The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise by the nation ensuring that those who serve or who have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, are treated fairly, and will not be disadvantaged in accessing public services due to their military service.
 
While good procedures and initiatives have been put in place by service providers, locally and nationally, we wish to be reassured that no member of the Armed Forces Community is suffering any disadvantage in accessing public services.

North East Lincolnshire Council is seeking to increase awareness of the Covenant in key areas, while retaining, and improving, the ability of local service providers to honour the Covenant in the best way to suit local needs.

Bus Back Better 2021

The Government published its Bus Back Better, National Bus Strategy for England in March 2021. Within this document there was a requirement for local authorities within England to prepare and publish Bus Service Improvement Plans (BSIPs).

The Government are expecting BSIPs to cover bus priority infrastructure and other infrastructure, bus fares, bus service support, marketing and zero emission buses.

The End of Life fast track scheme: The application time needs to be reducedThe application time from start to finish will be reviewed as part of the implementation
The policy will only be effective if it backed up by innovative and efficient assessors & implementers.The council, NLaG, Navigo and CCG are working in close partnership (i.e. regarding housing options and dementia friendly adaptations) to ensure that innovative options are available which will streamline the whole process, and make use of pre-existing assessors/implementers who are “on board” with changing the way the processes are run to achieve better and faster results.
People living with dementia should receive sufficient support and care at home to meet their needs.It is recognised that Dementia friendly home assistance would be most helpful to those with dementia if put in place earlier in the dementia journey, and therefore there is a focus on ensuring those in this position can access the benefits of this discretionary DFG element easily
Get new property developers to include more disabled properties in their developments so less need to be adapted – this will build the stock of properties for disabled people to move to.There are planned adaptation works to a selection of properties proposed in future housing development. This will ensure highly sort after, fully adapted properties are available within the market. This will provide flexibility and ensure higher need service users have improved housing options. In addition, innovative funding is being used to adapt social housing stock in line with a pilot for this policy. This is to ensure those who are most vulnerable on the home choice links register and have a need for an adapted property will have appropriate housing options available.

North East Lincolnshire Council, the Police and NHS North East Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group (the organisation that plans and buys NHS services for local people) launched Our Place Our Future, a survey for residents in North East Lincolnshire.

We asked residents to help us to understand how it feels to live and work in our area, the services that you use and the activities you undertake. This will help us to measure where you feel things are improving or getting worse, and understand how we can work better with you to tackle challenges and make the most of arising opportunities.

The core results of the consultation are below. We intend to feedback further when we can to comment on where we have used the results to inform decisions and change.
