| Aims and Objectives | The review of Regeneration has the aim of developing a service that more effectively contributes to and supports the delivery of the Council's and other partners' desired outcomes. The review will consider the structures, processes and interventions, including funded and commissioned services, relating to regeneration activity across the Council. The review is looking at redefining the purpose of regeneration activity within the Council and the role that Regeneration Services should play in terms of supporting and facilitating this work. This will include identifying areas of duplication and overlap across Resources of the Council, with a view to delivering a more cost effective model. The review will use the best practice examples and cost benefit analysis to arrive at the preferred delivery model. |
| Conclusion | The review is proposing to reduce the level of spend on a number of specific projects supported by the Tackling Poverty programme budget. In managing the reductions in contribution the focus will be where possible on reducing overheads and running costs associated with project delivery and by doing things differently. Where there is an impact on service delivery there will require to be a discussion with partners on a re-prioritisation of how the funds are spent, and a focus on funding higher priority areas. Those projects affected will be: Financial Inclusion: Homeless Support Neighbourhood Action Planning Raising Education Attainment and Transition Support Rural Transport Initiatives Financial Inclusion Development Community Engagement Environmental Works The broad ranging affect of this review will have an impact on those living the most deprived areas of South Lanarkshire and this includes vulnerable families and children, young people at risk of negative post school destinations, children of Gypsy Travellers, homeless households affected by welfare reform and those living in rural communities. The review group have given consideration to the balance of reduction in service against the proposed reduction in funding. The focus has therefore been on trying to not directly affect service delivery wherever possible by seeking savings in administrative and supply and material costs. Whilst this will minimise the impact on individuals and specific equality groups there are savings which will have a direct impact on a range of people. |
