SERVICE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
|
2017/2018 000
|
|
The Citys Young Workforce
Providing more opportunities for our young people, especially our most vulnerable, is a key element of our plans for the future, therefore we propose to allocate one off funding to directly resource and/or match fund the creation of a further 50 opportunities for young people in the Council and the wider Dundee Partnership over the next two years.
Executive Director of City Development and Head of Human Resources and Business Support are remitted to bring forward a report detailing proposals.
|
250
|
|
Dundeecom
This project has the potential to be central to the establishment of a new large-scale industry which will provide a range of job opportunities at all skill levels and ensure that this area becomes the go to location for decommissioning solutions for the North Sea and for decommissioning expertise throughout the oil and gas producing world.
Forth Ports and the Council will jointly share the operating costs of Dundeecom which include the recruitment of a high profile industry leader to champion the Port of Dundee as Scotlands Decommissioning capital.
Executive Director of City Development is remitted to bring forward a report detailing proposals.
|
100
|
|
Tourism Growth - Festivals and Events
Tourism is a vital part of our local economy and the opportunities for growth and jobs in this sector is increasing, with Festivals and Events playing an important role in promoting the growth of tourism in the City and the wider Tay Cities area. To maximise the positive economic impacts that the opening of the V&A Museum, the UNESCO City of Design agenda and Dundee's bid to become the European Capital of Culture in 2023, etc can bring to the City additional one off funding is to be allocated to the Festivals and Events Fund.
|
120
|
|
Fairness Sounding Board
The Dundee Partnership working in collaboration with Faith in the Community will establish a body in Dundee based on the Poverty Truth Commission model so that people with experience of poverty can speak out, tackle stigma and push for change to public services. Additional funding of 60,000 has been allocated to this project from the Scottish Government and we are contributing initial funding of 20,000 over the next two years.
|
20
|
|
Fairness and Equality in Schools
As part of our commitment to fairness and equality in schools we will freeze the cost of school meals and increase our school clothing grants from the current level of 81 to 100 for 2017/2018. This requires additional funding of 120,000 and increases expenditure to a total of 625,000. This is amongst the highest in Scotland.
|
120
|
|
Discretionary Housing Payments
To support more vulnerable households and mitigate the effects of the UK Governments Welfare Reform additional Discretionary Housing Payment (DHP) funding of 100,000 will be provided, increasing the Councils budget provision to 250,000.
|
100
|
|
Community Regeneration Funds
The community regeneration forums make a direct and significant contribution to reducing inequalities and building stronger communities by supporting local groups and facilities to offer services and responses to community issues. This gives communities greater influence and control over resources and is the basis of the Scottish Governments desire to see councils committing to the principle of participatory budgeting. We are therefore increasing the funding available from 847,000 to 1 million for one year (2017/2018), this will enable forums to consider further action to implement the recommendations of the Fairness Commission.
An additional 10,000 will be allocated to each of the Broughty Ferry and West End wards, with the remainder being allocated on a pro rata basis between the remaining wards.
Remit to the Chief Executive to bring forward a report detailing proposals.
|
153
|
|
Support for Small Businesses
One off funding of 135,000 to be established to develop a scheme to support new and existing small businesses who are experiencing financial hardship to enable them to sustain their businesses within the City.
Remit to the Executive Director of Corporate Services to bring forward a report detailing proposals.
|
135
|
|
Delayed Discharge
Neighbourhood Services and Dundee Health & Social Care Partnership continue to work collaboratively to increase the availability of housing for adults who require additional support to maintain their tenancies. The scale and pace of developments have a direct effect on the number of admissions to, and delays within, hospital. Additional revenue funding is proposed to enable officers to more quickly build capacity through the Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP).
Remit to the Executive Director of Neighbourhood Services and Chief Officer of Dundee Health & Social Care Partnership to bring forward a report detailing proposals.
|
300
|
|
Youth Investment Fund
The Youth Council are very keen on becoming more involved in participatory budgeting, it is proposed that the current budget (Youth Investment Fund), be increased by 16,000. This would create a total fund of 25,000, for young people to have control over and be able to spend it based on criteria set by them.
Remit to the Executive Director of Neighbourhood Services to bring forward a report detailing proposals.
|
16
|
|
Community Infrastructure Fund
Funding of 509,000 will be used to create a pilot Community Infrastructure Fund which will be managed locally and directed towards locally agreed priorities of a revenue nature for roads, parking, footways and other local infrastructure. Together with the proposals around capital funding, this will result in a total Community Infrastructure Fund of 1.2m and will allow a mix of revenue and capital works to be undertaken. This is part of the Council's continued commitment to working with citizens across the city on participatory budgeting, and is complementary to the current 1m proposal for local regeneration funds.
