Garnock Valley Locality Partnership 6 December 2017

This report relates to an action from the last Locality Partnership meeting: “The Partnership agreed to request a more detailed analysis of unemployment figures by age and gender”.

Garnock Valley Claimant Unemployment Analysis

Introduction

This reports provides a summary of claimant count unemployment for the Garnock Valley

Locality Partnership Area.

While it does provide the only source of small area unemployment data the claimant count

dataset does have limitations especially since the introduction of Universal Credit. Caution

should therefore be used when analysing claimant count data. In particular it should be

noted:

• The Claimant Count measures the number of people claiming benefit principally for the

reason of being unemployed:

o from April 2015, the Claimant Count includes all Universal Credit claimants who

are required to seek work and be available for work, as well as all JSA claimants

o between May 2013 and March 2015, the Claimant Count includes all out of work

Universal Credit claimants as well as all JSA claimants

o between October 1996 and April 2013, the Claimant Count is a count of the

number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA)

• Under Universal Credit a broader span of claimants are required to look for work than

under Jobseeker's Allowance. As Universal Credit Full Service is rolled out in particular

areas, the number of people recorded as being on the Claimant Count is therefore likely

to rise.

• For various reasons female unemployment tends to be undercounted in the claimant

count dataset

The following tables and charts show the number of claimants in the Garnock Valley broken

down by age and gender for the period January 2013 to October 2017.

Main points

• Total unemployment fell until late 2014 since when it has flattened out

• Generally 25-49 year olds account for around 50% of all claimants

• There are roughly the same number of 16-24 year olds unemployed as those aged 50

and over

• Male unemployment follows a similar pattern to total unemployment

• Female unemployment has seen a rise in total unemployment since November 2015 (up

to 200 from 150)

• Female 16-24 unemployment has risen since June 2016 (albeit from a low base) and

now accounts for 30% of all female claimants (up from 18%)

Locality Partnership: Garnock Valley Locality Partnership

Date: 6 December 2017

Subject: Community Investment Fund

Purpose: To advise the Locality Partnership of the funding available to support the delivery

of local priorities

Background: Fair for All

At its budget of 1st March 2017, North Ayrshire Council made a significant investment to take forward the North Ayrshire Fair for All Equality Strategy.

The following investment funds were created:

i. Community Investment Fund;ii. Poverty Challenge Fund;iii. Basic Income Pledge;iv. Participatory Budgeting Grants Fund;v. Additional support for the Financial Inclusion Strategy;vi. Community Food; and

vii. Agreement to use a Participatory Budgeting for existing Grounds Maintenance

budgets.

Community Investment Fund

Purpose:

To support the development of Locality Partnerships by providing localitieswith the opportunity to identify and invest in specific local priorities to developstronger communities.

Approach:

Locality Partnerships (working with local organisations) will bring forwardproposals based on their local priorities. Collaboration between and amongorganisations will be welcomed;

The proposals should address unmet community needs;

The proposals will promote and increase employment, empowerment andvolunteering in localities; and

14

It is expected that the proposals will be game changers in relation to localissues or demands for services.

Funding:

£2.6m will be immediately available for allocation to projects. The approximate allocations (to be confirmed after recruitment of delivery staff) are based on locality populations as follows:

Locality Population Value

Irvine 29% £754,000

Kilwinning 11% £286,000

3 Towns 23% £598,000

Garnock Valley 15% £390,000

North Coast 18% £468,000

Arran 4% £104,000

Next steps:

Projects must emerge through a collaborative process with Elected Membersand Locality Representatives within Locality Partnerships;

Ideas and proposals from groups and organisations should initially bediscussed with members of the Locality Partnership;

Proposals will then be developed collaboratively as part of the LocalityPartnership business, most likely in additional workshops to developproposals;

Proposals will undergo a rigorous assessment process by the LocalityPartnership; and

The Locality Partnerships will make recommendations in relation to theproposed allocation of funds to projects to the Cabinet of North AyrshireCouncil for final approval to allocate the money.

More detail is provided in the attached CIF guidance at Appendix 1.

Options to invite CIF proposals:

Economy & Communities, Finance & Corporate Support, and Legal Services have been consultedand their comments are as follows:

Finance & Corporate SupportFinance cannot comment on the application as no detail is provided as to how the costs have beencalculated – no quotes have been supplied.

Legal:"Any restrictions on membership" has been answered by "must be 60, then 65 plus".The application form is supposed to be completed with the membership details of the organisation, notbe coutured to meet the requirements of the Trust.

I imagine that the group itself does have members who are younger than 65.That is ok.

However, if a bequest is given, the group can only apply the benefit of that Grant to those who are 65years and older and living in the Parish of Dalry.

Perhaps you could have a word with the person completing the form on behalf of the Applicantorganisation?

That is a comment on the application generally.In so far as this particular application is concerned, the detail narrated in the Application appears tosatisfy the criteria of the Trust and so long as the Trustees are satisfied that the Applicant group is "inneed", I am of the view that any Grant will be within the powers of the Trustees to award.

Economy & CommunitiesEconomy and Communities are supportive of this application. The application will benefit olderpeople who are aged 65 and over and should be clearly minuted and advised to the group that theycan only use the funds if awarded to those who are 65 and over and not under.

Social events for older people is very important and reduces social isolation.

Locality Partnership: Garnock Valley Locality Partnership

Date: 6 December 2017

Subject: New Residential Development Adjacent to Auldlea Road, Beith

Purpose: Decide a Street Name for the new development.

Background

The developer of the above site has contacted this department requesting new street names for the development.

The Council has a statutory obligation under the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 to give a name to each new street built within the Council area, and this name, along with street numbers, becomes the postal addresses.

I have consulted all members of the Garnock Valley Locality Partnership. An outline plan of the development and details of suggestions received with Planning comments are available as appendices.

At this stage, the development requires 1 street name.

Key Points for Locality Partnership

Separate documents with street name suggestions and a proposed numbering layout plan are available as appendices.

Action Required by Locality Partnership

Choose new street names for the development.

For more information please contact: Brian McLemon, Assistant Planning Officer, 01294 324767, [email protected]
