Scrutiny of the Cultural Review: Report by Consultants Amion PDF 131 KB Minutes: Context:
Members considered a report which informed the future of key local services – Leisure, Events, Outdoors, Culture and Youth.
Key Issues:
The committee were informed that one of the Council’s priorities included the desire to maintain locally accessible services, which aligned with the wider vision of creating sustainable and resilient communities.
However, due to budget pressures there was increased risk to the continued delivery of non-discretionary local services. Historic operating data and a recent service area review commissioned with Amion Consulting, at a cost of £30,000, identified a need to rationalise the current working model and improve practices within the Culture Service area.
The purpose of the review was for future delivery options and opportunities to be identified.
A piece of work would be undertaken, which would consist of one detailed and comprehensive appraisal of the options relating to providing a sustainable, viable and vital future for Leisure, Events, Culture and Youth. The brief was being developed and would be signed off by the Cabinet Member, it specified that a business strategy emerged which would include all aspects of financial planning, asset considerations, governance, structures and accountability along with a fully-costed business plan.
The review would be undertaken impartially and it was anticipated that it would be finished in readiness for commencement of the first wave of activity in 2016/17 in order to meet the c£400k budget target.
We received a presentation from Amion Consultants.
