Your LEAP into successThe new Local Enterprise and Apprenticeship Platform(LEAP) was launched at Plumpton College by Cllr RobBlackman, cabinet member for business, economicdevelopment and tourism. This is a new initiative to helplocal people into apprenticeships or start new businesses.

As part of the launch a number of speakers shared theirexperiences to highlight the benefits of LEAP.

Jacqui Simes of Action in Rural Sussex (AIRS) said “Taking on anapprentice is good for everyone. Our apprentice is learning arange of new skills whilst bringing a fresh perspective and energyto the workplace that helps create a positive workingenvironment.”

Natalie Hassan of Lulu Nannies told us “LEAP recognises thatsome people, although out of work, have the drive and readinessto start up their own business. I would not be where I am today ifit weren’t for a local business initiative similar to LEAP.”

A vital conversationCllr Rob Blackman said “I urge people to think about how theycan utilise LEAP to grow their business and help drive economicrecovery through employing apprentices and offering workplacements.”

UN International Women’s Day has beencelebrated on 8 March each year since 1913,and is now an official holiday in 27 countries.This year’s theme is “A promise is apromise: time for action to end violenceagainst women”.

In Lewes District, we support the White RibbonCampaign (WRC), and have pledged never tocommit, condone or remain silent aboutviolence against women.

International Women’s Day also provides anopportunity to celebrate the achievements ofwomen, and to challenge remaining barriers toequality. For instance, the Government aims toincrease the proportion of women MPs(currently 22%) and FTSE 100 Directors(13%). Notable Sussex women include SophiaJex-Blake, pioneering doctor, Dame Clara ButtDBE, opera singer and Angela Carter, novelist.www.internationalwomensday.com

Thanks to everyone who took part in thediscussions and consultation about nationalchanges to Council Tax Benefit.

After listening to you we worked hard to comeup with a solution that could help incentivisepeople to work.

The Council Tax Benefit scheme is changingfrom 1 April 2013 and the following changeshave been agreed:

We will increase the work incentive for peoplewho start full-time work from a one week rebateto 8 weeks, regardless of how much they earnin the new job. Second adult rebate to workingage claimants will disappear. Council TaxReduction payment to any working age claimantwho is not entitled to at least £5 support perweek will stop. We will increase the amountdeducted from Council Tax Reduction awardedto a working age applicant if they live with aperson who is over 18, not their partner and notpaying rent.

Pensioners are not affected by the changes andthe level of their Council Tax Reduction willcontinue to be set by Central Government.

How to claim the new reduction:If you currently receive Council Tax Benefit youwill automatically be moved to the new scheme.The amount of reduction you receive may bedifferent and we will write to you in March toconfirm.

You must continue to report any changes in yourcircumstances. If you think you may be entitledto a reduction contact us immediately on01273 484186,email: benefit@lewes.gov.ukwww.lewes.gov.uk

Complete a claim form and supportingevidence. Any reduction is shown as a credit onyour council tax bill. You must still pay yourcouncil tax whilst a decision on your claim ismade.

This is just the scheme for one year - we willcontinue to work on a scheme with residents tounderstand their needs and come up withinnovative solutions, so please watch this spacefor regular updates!

Clinical Waste Collections

The cost to the council tax payer to clearlitter from the roads of Sussex hascontinued to increase year on year. Some ofthe waste cleared from central reservationsand verges comes from commercial wastecarrier vehicles transporting waste betweensites.

Last year all registered business in LewesDistrict, employed in the transportation of wasteon the roads of Sussex were written to andvisited by Street Services Enforcement. Theywere reminded of their duty of care to makesure that waste is managed properly, disposedof safely and does not pollute the environment.The penalties for a breach of the Duty of Careoffence include a fine of up to £5,000.

Our Waste Inspector recently saw a wastetransfer vehicle travelling in front. The vehiclewas carrying a skip with a load which appearedto be mainly of hardcore. The skip had a poorlyfitting net over the top. As the vehicle continuedits journey some plastic bottles and severalpieces of paper blew from the skip onto theverges. The offence of littering was reported tothe enforcement team who then issued apenalty notice for £50. The company admittedthe offence of littering and paid the fixed penaltyticket.

For more information please contact RobinFuller, Street Services Investigator
