The Capital and Asset Pathfinder programme was set up by the Government last year to look at how public sector land and property are managed and used.
Hampshire County Council is in the first wave of councils to pursue this project. Tom Horwood, Executive Director, East Hampshire District Council and Havant Borough Council
Challenges – the national context
Aim: to test how a customer-centric and place-based approach to asset management and capital investment could improve local outcomes and generate significant savings
Opportunities – rationalise, reduce costs (potentially £35bn nationally)
Constraints:
– existing assets, located as per evolving need over a century
– vast range of services – delivery arrangements (and customer intelligence) separated from asset management and capital investment
– savings should not be made to the detriment of service quality

Understand Community Needs
What are they?
How will they change over the
next decade?
Shape Service Delivery
What structure of public sector
services is required to meet these needs
and trends?
Re-profile the public estate
How can the combined asset
portfolio be reshaped to support
these services?
Linking Customers with Services and Assets
Hampshire CC has developed a methodology based around a series of workshops with public sector partners that they tested in Winchester and Basingstoke last year.
Their approach identified substantial savings if public sector organisations could come together and rethink how they use their assets,
taking account of customer need and joining up their approach. Tom Horwood, Executive Director, East Hampshire District Council and Havant Borough Council

worked particularly well
We spent a morning together learning about each organisation’s strategies and challenges for the coming years, pored over paper and electronic maps, and
started to understand exactly where our various assets sit, how they relate to each other and what customer demand might look like in the future.

Exploring customer demand: Service priorities and needs
New EHDC / HBC Corporate Strategies 2012-17 and 2012-13 budgets
Take account of customer insight, economic trends, government policy and input from colleagues
Debated publicly with councillors at scrutiny meetingsand with residents at Community Forum
Provide a robust framework for future decisions about service delivery and resource allocation, around the three strategic themes
Recognise that public sector has to change how it functions in response to community as well asgovernment expectation if it is to be sustainable
We are at the vanguard of this change in Hampshire
Will be used as the basis for our service business plans, which – for the first time – will look ahead three years, rather than one
This way of thinking is embedded in our two councils’ draft Corporate Strategies in the priority themes of economic growth, financial sustainability and public service excellence. Tom Horwood, Executive Director, East Hampshire District Council and Havant Borough Council
Havant's Public Service Plaza
Delivering better public services…an innovative change to the way that local authority services
work together to provide the best possible service to the public
…first phase opened October 2011, giving residents easy access to a variety of council and voluntary sector services in one location
A shared community space The atrium – an ideal meeting place,
with free wireless internet access, four terminals for public use and vending machines for snacks / drinks
Event suite – available to organisations, community groups and individuals
The principle is very simple... exemplified by success of Havant’s Public Service Plaza, initiated by HBC a few years ago and enthusiastically supported by Hampshire CC.

Havant's Public Service Plaza
Savings for taxpayers Building 35-40% more energy-efficient per m2
+ space-sharing (+300 staff in Phase 2)
> reduced running costs
Streamlined ways of staff working to save money and time
Co-locating services (HBC and HCC)
> fewer staff and resident journeys
> reduced travel costs / carbon footprint
Estimated savings of £100,000 pa + reduced CO2 emissions
Buildings no longer occupied to be sold
The principle is very simple... exemplified by success of Havant’s Public Service Plaza, initiated by HBC a few years ago and enthusiastically supported by Hampshire CC.
Tom Horwood, Executive Director, East Hampshire District Council and Havant Borough Council
What Next for Hampshire?
...a really interesting and demanding session, which we will build on at the next workshop
...exactly the sort of inter-agency discussion that we need to be having if we are going to deliver sustainable and successful services in the future.
