Presentations
- on each of the Area Development Frameworks
(the respective Chairs have been invited)
Minutes:
The Housing Market Renewal Team Leader gave a powerpoint presentation setting out the key intervention areas/programme and challenges for each of the 4 ADFs, the consultation strategy and the next steps.
The Chairs/representatives of the 4 ADFs commented on their respective areas. The following was highlighted:-
§ The lack of appropriate meeting places to hold the consultation events
§ The need to engage hard to reach groups
§ The need for action and more emphasis on physical change
§ The need to encourage partner attendance at Steering Groups
§ The need for creative use of consultation methods
§ Aim consultation at established events such as carnivals and galas
§ In the Wath/Swinton ADF in particular, a perception of a sole emphasis on housing and not on the wider regeneration/market renewal
§ Gateway improvements welcomed
§ The need to drive forward related projects not identified in masterplans i.e. one stop shops
It was acknowledged that detailed consultation had not been undertaken as yet. In terms of the balance, more resources were going into Rotherham town centre to build upon the Renaissance Programme and because of it being well ahead in the process. That balance would change as the Programme progressed. In time, the work of other organisations would be consolidated in terms of delivering the Programme.
Agreed:- (1) The contents of the draft masterplans be approved as a basis for wider consultation as outlined in the presentation.
(2) That TSY be requested to hold an event for Chairs of all the South Yorkshire ADF to provide a general overview and understanding of the whole TSY programme.
