Officer Decisions

Officers exercise delegated decision making powers in respect of both non-executive and executive functions of the Council.

The present Scheme of Delegation from the Leader of the Council, which sets out how executive functions will be discharged, provides for delegated decision making by officers. Appendix 9 of the Constitution sets out the non-executive functions delegated to officers. All executive functions, other than those reserved by Cabinet, may be discharged by officers.

The Chief Executive and Strategic Directors of the Council have established their own sub-schemes of delegation detailing which and how both non-executive and executive functions will be discharged on behalf of the authority.

Decision records for the discharge of functions by officers are published below. These decision records set out the following information:-

Title:

Submission of the Rotherham Integrated Mainline Station Outline Business Case

Decision Maker:

(Including Job Title)

Andrew Bramidge, Strategic Director, Regeneration & Environment

Specific Delegation:

(If any)

Delegation to the Strategic Director, Regeneration and Environment, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Transport

 

Minute number 167 of the Cabinet meeting on 18th March 2024 - Agenda item - Transport Capital Programme 2024/2025 - Rotherham Council: ‘Cabinet delegate authority to the Strategic Director, Regeneration and Environment, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Transport, to submit the completed Rotherham Mainline Station OBC to South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority and the DfT upon conclusion of the final review stages (estimated June 2024).’

 

Brief Description of Decision:

The Council is working with partners to promote the development of a new Gateway (mainline and tram-train) Station in Rotherham; improving local, regional, and national rail connectivity for local people and businesses, offering access to employment and business growth opportunities. The Council has prepared an Outline Business Case (OBC) that, in summary, sets out the designs, costs and benefits for the mainline station and tram train stop.

 

In March 2024, as part of the Transport Capital programme 2024/25 report, Cabinet delegated authority to the Strategic Director, Regeneration and Environment, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Transport, to submit the completed Rotherham Mainline Station OBC to South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) and the Department for Transport (DfT) upon conclusion of the final review stages (estimated June 2024). The purpose of this report is to exercise this delegation and submit the completed OBC.

 

Reasons for the Decision:

Submission and approval of the Outline Business Case will enable the Council to draw down funds from SYMCA to progress to the next stage of the scheme (Full Business Case). This will include detailed design of the Rotherham Gateway Station, which includes the mainline station, tram-train stop and wider station ‘floormat’.

 

 

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

RMBC could consider not submitting the OBC at this time. However, this would negatively impact the critical path of the mainline station development and would carry reputational risk to the Council. It would delay the overall programme for scheme delivery and risk losing CRSTS funds, allocated for the Full Business Case.

 

Conflicts of interest declared by any Executive Member consulted by the decision maker which relates to the decision:

N/A

Dispensations Granted:

(If any)

An exemption is sought for Appendix 1 under Paragraph 3 (Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information)) of Part I of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 is requested, as this report contains information that relating to land in private ownership.

 

It is considered that the public interest in maintaining the exemption would outweigh the public interest in disclosing the information because all such information relating to the land in private ownership should remain confidential in advance of detailed dialogue with the relevant private landowners being established.

03/02/2025 - Town Centre Events Grants - Spring 2025 ref: 1845    Recommendations Approved

We will require a decision on our recommended selection for the Town Centre Event Grants Spring 2025 rounds.


Grants have been advertised and event organisers have completed applications to deliver their own event in All Saints Square or Forge Island. There are 4 grants of £2000 available, one for each Saturday in March. This is the third grant scheme we’ve run, the first was in March 2024 and second was in August 2024. The purpose of these grants is to create more free public events in Rotherham Town Centre, to drive footfall, and to support independent organisers to deliver their own events.


The Events and Town Centre teams have selected 4 for recommendation, based on: quality of application; appropriateness of budget; experience; if it’s suitable for family audiences; accessibility and inclusivity; and to offer a range of creative disciplines and cultural experiences.


We require a decision to be made that our recommendations can be granted, so that we can notify the applicants, offer them the grant and support them to promote and deliver the event.


Funding for the grants has come from UKSPF funding as part of an agreed RMBC Events’ Town Centre Events programme, and requires no RMBC Events budget.

·       Authorisation of grants up to a value of £25000 according to the Council’s criteria for cultural, leisure and events grants. This is derived from Page 31 of the Sub Scheme of Delegation, Strategic Director of Regeneration and Environment.

·       The implementation of any functions associated with any grant/funding regime, including, but not limited to, National Grants/funding, SYMCA funds, Grants & Programmes and European Funding/Grants.  This is derived from Page 22 of the Sub Scheme of Delegation, Strategic Director of Regeneration and Environment.

Decision:

·       Waive the fees and costs associated with Event Application Packs

·       Approve the award of Four grants of £2,000 each to support Town Centre activities

 

Reasons for the Decision:

The decision has been in accordance with the funding agreement relating to the UK Shared Prosperity Fund Grant to support Town Centre Events

 

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

Do Nothing – Event organisation carries a range of costs such as venue hire, marketing, equipment hire, catering and paying performers. In addition, costs associated with Council fees and charges related event application packs for events taking place on Council land can make the cost of hosting event prohibitive. Without support from the Council organisers may not have the means to organise events which stifles talent development in the community and places additional pressure on the available resources within the Council’s events team..

05/02/2025 - Contract Award - Technology Partner ref: 1844    Recommendations Approved

The Council’s assistive technology offer is delivered via its in-house Rothercare service. This is an ‘end to end’ service which manages referrals and triage, installation of equipment, the monitoring and responding to alerts. The service also procures all technical aspects including the hardware and software (alarm receiving centre, digital box/pendant, licences and peripheral technology).

In October 2024 Cabinet approved the implementation of the new technology enabled care delivery model and to progress a competitive procurement process to award a contract on the basis of a 5-year initial term. The contract will include potential extensions for up to 3 years (to be taken in any combination). The new arrangements will commence April 2025.

 

The decision is to award a contract to the successful bidder.

Appendix 9, Section 4C3, of the Council’s Constitution provides that “The Strategic Director of Adult Care, Housing and Public Health is authorised to discharge executive functions through the commissioning and provision of social services for adults and public health services for the whole population and delivery of housing for the Borough, including: (4) Strategic Commissioning; (a) Commissioning”. 

Decision:

Award of contract following a competitive process to Medequip Assistive Technology Ltd as a Technology Partner.  The Technology Partner will deliver the assistive technology elements of the Rothercare Service which include the identification of assistive technology solutions, installation, recycling, disposal and maintenance and procurement of assistive technology equipment.

 

The Cabinet – 14 10 2024

 

Minute Number 60 – Future Rothercare Model

 

Resolved:

 

2. Approve a competitive procurement process and award of contract on the basis of a 5-year initial term. The contract will include potential extensions for up to 3 years (to be taken in any combination). The new arrangements will commence April 2025.

 

The full value of the contract (8 year term) is estimated to be £10,406,168 (Revenue £4,703,320, Capital £5,702,848).

 

Reasons for the Decision:

The Council’s assistive technology offer is delivered via its in-house Rothercare service. This is an ‘end to end’ service which manages referrals and triage, installation of equipment, the monitoring and responding to alerts. The service also procures all technical aspects including the hardware and software (alarm receiving centre, digital box/pendant, licences and peripheral technology).

 

The service is intrinsic to a strength-based approach in supporting people towards independent living. A recent review of the service has identified opportunities to address the operational challenges of the analogue switch off and the remodel of the assistive technology offer.

 

An options appraisal has been completed with an outcome to  recommend a new model be developed where, the assistive technology elements of the service will be undertaken by an independent sector technology partner and Rothercare continue to deliver the core service elements.

 

In October 2024 Cabinet approved the implementation of the new technology enabled care delivery model and to progress a competitive procurement process to award a contract on the basis of a 5-year initial term. The contract will include potential extensions for up to 3 years (to be taken in any combination). The new arrangements will commence April 2025.

 

This is a new provision. The recent competitive procurement process has secured the services of a Technology Partner for an initial term of 5 years with an option to extend for a further three years from April 2025.

 

 

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

Option 1 – (recommended and approved) - A collaborative approach between an independent sector technology partner and Rothercare

Option 2: - Rothercare continues to deliver all elements of the service in-house (not recommended and rejected).

Option 3: Arm’s Length Management Organisation (not recommended and rejected)

Option 4 – A commissioned technology partner delivers all elements (not recommended and rejected).

·       Ulley Country park 

 

To become Rotherham Parks and Countryside on Facebook (and linked Instagram accounts) this would bring us in line with other local authority pages and also allow us to be more active and engaging on social media as capacity to manage a single page effectively is increased across the team.

 

Merger of the Facebook and social media accounts will also increase audience and engagement for the page, and response times would be reduced for private messaging and comments requiring feedback.

 

This merger would also allow for the Trees Service to have a platform to showcase their work and engagement.

31/01/2025 - Doncaster Road, Wath, Speed Limit Extension ref: 1838    Recommendations Approved

To seek approval from the Assistant Director to implement a traffic regulation order.

Effective from: 31/01/2025

RECORD OF OFFICER EXECUTIVE DECISION

 

Date of Decision:

31st January 2025

 

Title:

Doncaster Road, Wath Proposed 30mph extension

Decision Maker:

(Including Job Title)

Simon Moss

Assistant Director, Planning, Regeneration and Transport 

 

Details of Specific Cabinet Delegation

or Delegation contained in the relevant Sub-Scheme of Delegation.

 

To promote, consider objections to and implement Traffic Regulation Orders under the Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

 

Decision:

The key recommendation of the report is to continue with the making of the orders for the proposal.

Reasons for the Decision:

There is a risk that without implementing the proposed speed limit extension to better reflect the road environment, drivers may not reduce their speed to an appropriate level, as they travel along this section of Doncaster Road, with the potential for a collision to increase.

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

Do nothing and keep the existing length of 30mph speed limit as it currently is. 

This option is not being promoted as this would not have the desired effect of improving the road safety environment on this section of Doncaster Road, where there is a proposed new residential development that is currently under construction.

Conflicts of interest declared by any Cabinet Member consulted by the decision maker which relates to the decision:

Title:

Maltby Model Village 20mph zone – Proposed Road humps on Morell Street (Local Neighbourhood Road Safety Scheme – Tranche 1)

 

Decision Maker:

(Including Job Title)

Simon Moss, Assistant Director, Planning, Regeneration and Transport

 

Details of Specific Cabinet Delegation

or Delegation contained in the relevant Sub-Scheme of Delegation.

 

Strategic Director of Regeneration and Environment Sub-Scheme of Delegation - To promote, consider objections to and implement Traffic Regulation Orders under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

Decision:

1.             That the proposals shown on drawing numbered: 126/17/TT571 attached as Appendix 1 are implemented.

2.             Residents are informed of the decision.

 

Reasons for the Decision:

The report considers the outcome of consultations about a proposal to implement a 20mph speed limit including traffic calming features on Morrell Street in Maltby Model Village.

 

The proposal has been developed as part of the Local Neighbourhoods Road Safety (LNRS) project, based on submissions for road safety and traffic management improvements in the Maltby East Ward. This followed receipt of requests from Ward Members, Maltby Town Council and residents.

 

A majority of the responses received supported the proposal.

.

 

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

Do nothing: not recommended.

 

Doing nothing is not recommended as it would not align with the submission made by local ward members to the Local Neighbourhood and Road Safety Scheme fund and would not align with the funders programme (SYMCA).

The proposal also complements the existing 20mph streets to the west of Morrell Street and ensures a consistent speed limit within the area.

Conflicts of interest declared by any Cabinet Member consulted by the decision maker which relates to the decision:

None

Dispensations Granted:

(If any)

It is proposed to install revised road humps on Morrell Street as shown on drawing No 126/17/TT571 attached as Appendix 1, in conjunction with the Maltby Model Village 20mph zone.

Title:

Children’s Capital of Culture Opening Programme and Consultation Process

 

Decision Maker:

(Including Job Title)

Andrew Bramidge, Strategic Director – Regeneration and Environment

 

Specific Delegation:

(If any)

Cabinet Report on Children’s Capital of Culture 29 July 2024 delegated approval of the remaining activities of the Children’s Capital of Culture programme to the Strategic Director of Regeneration and Environment in consultation with the Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Social Inclusion and Neighbourhood Working.

 

Brief Description of Decision:

That the proposed opening season of Children’s Capital Culture is adopted and that the consultation arrangements for the remainder of the Festival year are approved.

 

Reasons for the Decision:

The proposal makes the Children’s Capital of Culture brand and name available to known partners who have been considered by a range of stakeholders, including children and young people and experienced commissioners and producers. This option expands the reach, diversity and creativity of the programme and unlocks significant investment from delivery partners.  The consultation processes set out in section 4 of the accompanying report ensure that the voice and influence of young people is embedded, that stakeholders are involved, that the Council has appropriate oversight and that the Cultural Partnership Board approves the overall programme.

 

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

Do not approve – the programme is delivered through partnership and collaboration with a wide and diverse range of delivery partners. Without the contributions of these partners the programme and its impact would be significantly diminished. The Council cannot deliver a programme of this scale alone.

Brief Description of Decision:

To exercise the delegation to Assistant Director Property & Facilities Services acting as Property Officer (delegated by Assistant Director Planning, Regeneration & Transport) in consultation with the Council’s S151 Officer and the Cabinet Member for Transport, Jobs and the Local Economy to acquire property interests in relation to plot numbers 14 & 15 as shown in Appendix 1.

 

Agreed by

 

Cllr Robert Taylor, Cabinet Member for Transport, Jobs & the Local Economy 15th January 2025

 

and

 

Judith Badger, Strategic Director Finance and Customer Services and S151 Officer 22nd January 2025

Reasons for the Decision:

To enable the purchase of all property required to facilitate the implementation of the Council’s Dinnington Regeneration project which will see improvements to the high street including a new market provision, 6 new retail units, refurbished units and public realm fronting Laughton Road.

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

Option 1: Do nothing.

A ‘do nothing’ option would result in the continued fragmented ownership of the site and prevent the demolition of the block from being undertaken, thus preventing the development of the proposed comprehensive scheme that was approved by Cabinet in August 2023 and has secured the central government ‘Levelling-Up’ investment from the previous Government’s Department of Levelling Up and Communities (DLUHC).

 

This option is not recommended.

 

Option 2: Purchase the headlease according to the Heads of Terms at Appendix 2.

While the Council is willing to pursue its Compulsory Purchase Powers acquisition by negotiation should always be the preferred route for the Council. Terms have been agreed in line with the Council’s appointed agent’s recommendation and within the budget approved at Cabinet.

 

This option is recommended.
