Localism Strategy
Last updated
Foreword
I am pleased to introduce our Localism Strategy, which sets out how we will take forward our commitment to the principles of localism.
This is a fantastic opportunity to bring services closer to communities and can give real purpose to the work of town and parish councillors.
We want to share our thinking and engage in an ongoing conversation with organisations and partners about how together we can continue making localism work in Wyre Forest.
Over the last five years, we have been actively working with town and parish councils and other local organisations to develop ways in which we can support them to take ownership of assets or services and we are very proud of what has been achieved so far but we want to take this further.
We are committed to a ‘can-do’ approach. As demands on local government continue to grow, Government funding to Wyre Forest District Council has unfortunately been reducing. Through the localism agenda we hope to enhance the Council’s financial resilience, safeguarding services and facilities that are vital and beneficial to the community.
Without working closely with our town and parish councils and other local organisations we are unlikely to be able to do this.
Councillor Helen Dyke, Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure and Community Protection
Local context
Wyre Forest is a district in the north of the county of Worcestershire. The district has a population of over 100,000 and consists of three towns and large areas of rural countryside.
Kidderminster is the largest of the three towns with a population of over 55,000 residents. Stourport-on-Severn is located on the confluence of the rivers Severn and Stour. It has a population of around 20,000. Bewdley has a population of around 10,000 and is located on the western bank of the River Severn.
The district has three Town Councils – Bewdley, Kidderminster and Stourport-onSevern and nine parish councils – Broome, Chaddesley Corbett, Churchill and Blakedown, Kidderminster Foreign, Rock, Rushock, Stone, Upper Arley and Woverley and Cookley.
The Town and Parish Councils can raise money locally through an annual precept to provide services in their local community.
There are legal limits on the services local councils can deliver but those with the General Power of Competence have more flexibility.
Appendix One: The Discretionary Powers of Parish and Town Councils.
Local delivery of services in Wyre Forest
Communities across Wyre Forest have different needs. It is important that services, particularly community based services, should be delivered based on local need, by town or parish councils or other organisations suited to local delivery.
As budget pressures grow, funding for community based services will reduce or even end. We need to ensure, where appropriate, that each asset and service is transferred to the town council, parish council or other appropriate organisation that can act as the best long term guardian. Our Localism Strategy offers these organisations the opportunity to take on services so they can continue for the benefit of the community. Often these organisations can deliver local services more efficiently and economically than we can.
Wherever possible, our preferred option is that assets and services are transferred and that the identified organisation takes on full responsibility for managing and delivering those assets and services. However, we would still consider transferring assets on a partial transfer basis, such as leasehold.
Over the last five years we have encouraged town and parish councils and other local organisations to work in partnership with us. As a result we have already transferred a number of assets and services to town and parish councils and other appropriate organisations. See Appendix Two.
How will we achieve this?
- Putting robust processes in place to implement the Localism Act 2011.
- Building on existing work with town and parish councils and other local organisations.
- Taking the existing agreements with town and parish councils even further.
- Sharing best practice and celebrating success.
How will we know if we have been successful?
- The assets and services continue on a financially viable footing
- There is more local control over assets and services
- The District Council’s base budget for service delivery will be lower and savings achieved.
- The local impact of service reductions will be minimised, savings targets will be achieved and services will continue, tailored to meet local needs and resources.
How will we deliver the Localism Strategy?
Everyone at Wyre Forest District Council has a part to play in delivering localism. This includes Members, portfolio holders and officers. Officers will work closely with the Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure and Community Protection, who is the lead for the Localism agenda, including asset transfers and relations with town and parish councils.
Financial Support
We are prepared to provide financial support to town, parish councils and other local organisations to enable assets and services to be transferred to them. These include, but are not limited to maintaining open spaces, play areas, litter picking, bin emptying and taking responsibility for facilities. We strongly support transfer where any ongoing cost to Wyre Forest District Council will be significantly lower as a result.
Through our Localism Fund we will support the transfer of assets and services. We are open and willing to discuss with town, parish councils and other local organisations incentivising and pump priming initiatives to facilitate the efficient transfer of assets and services.
Town and parish councils are encouraged to levy precepts to support the transfer of
assets and services.
Community Grants Fund
The Localism Fund also has a separate community grants fund, which is open to community groups and local organisations through an application process. Find out more about the Community Grants Fund.
Principles of asset and service transfers
We recognise that town and parish councils across the district are keen to develop their activities and deliver more local services. This is their opportunity to play an even more significant role in their local community.
Wyre Forest District Council will respond to the priorities and ambitions of the local area and not impose anything from the top down. If a town or parish council does not want to take on any assets or services then it will not be compelled to. However it must be recognised that services could be reduced or stopped if an alternative model of delivery cannot be implemented.
These principles also apply to other sorts of local organisations who are interested in
the transfer of assets and services and are in a position to take them on.
We intend to adhere to the following broad principles when negotiating the transfer of assets and services.
- A town or parish council or other appropriate organisation proposing a transfer of asset and services must have been in existence and functioning effectively for at least a year (this means that they are engaging widely in the community, managing their finances well and being inclusive and open in their approach).
- Assets and services considered for a transfer must be things that a town, parish council or another organisation can legally provide.
- We will consider all requests received and will give reasons if there are any assets or services which we do not consider appropriate for transfer.
- Proposals can include joint service delivery and management arrangements as well as a full transfer of services. They can be made by a collaboration of more than one town or parish council or other local organisations.
- Services considered for a transfer of management must be capable of being delivered at the scale proposed, either through the town or parish council or other organisation’s own resources or through a management arrangement with us.
- Proposals should demonstrate that the service will be provided at broadly the same or better standard than previously provided by us.
- The town or parish council or other local organisation will have to demonstrate a sound business case for all proposals, including the management and other resources that will be put in place to demonstrate the capacity to manage the asset independently and to put the asset to good use for the community.
The process for agreeing a local asset and service transfer deal
We will identify a single point of contact who will work with the Leader and Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure and Community Protection. All relevant Cabinet Members will be consulted during negotiation of a deal and all final deals will be signed off by the Cabinet.
Suggested methods to deal with Section 106 contributions
Public open space, outdoor amenity space and children’s play space
It is the intention that all Section 106 contributions for public open space, outdoor amenity space and children’s play space derived from developments within the boundaries of Bewdley, Kidderminster and Stourport-on-Severn would be passed to the relevant town council.
If the proposed use of a contribution needed to be decided before planning permission was granted, it would be decided by the town council as part of negotiations with the developer on the application; in any other case, the town council would have full discretion about how such section 106 contributions would be used.
This would come into effect for all planning permissions granted with effect from 1 April 2020, subject to services being transferred or in the process of being transferred to the respective town council.
Community Facilities
It is the intention that all Section 106 contributions for community facilities derived from developments within the boundaries of Bewdley, Kidderminster and Stourport-on-Severn
would be passed to the town council.
If the proposed use of a contribution needed to be decided before planning permission was granted, it would be decided by the town council as part of negotiations with the developer on the application; in any other case, the town council would have full discretion about how such Section 106 contributions would be used.
This would come into effect for all planning permissions granted with effect from 1 April 2020, subject to services being transferred or in the process of being transferred to the respective town council.
Risk
It is recognised that the process of transferring assets or services to third parties is not without risk. The level of competence, financial stability and sustainability of third party organisations are key factors in any negotiations. It is also the case that the process can take time especially in building trust between us and interested parties.
List of Assets and Services
We are prepared to discuss the transfer of any of our assets and services. However, there is a preferred list of assets and services that will be considered for transfer.
