Continue to redesign 0-19 Services
starting with ante-natal services this proposal aims to continue our work to target our services at need and to manage demand for more specialist services. Critical to delivery will be the Healthy Child Programme and the work to increase the richness and consistency of the Early Help offer. This approach links to Government Policy and best practice through concentrating on prevention and developing more schools to deliver Early Years, which, in turn saves money and avoids cost.

Regenerating the Borough and Building Up Business

Protect and Develop North Tyneside’s Cultural Offer

Post-2019 Construction Delivery
Throughout 2018/19 the Construction Project has been working to prepare for the return of services for the delivery construction services to both the Housing Revenue Account and the General Fund. This project will continue into 2019/20 as over 400 staff are TUPE’d into the Authority and a re-modelled approach to delivery is implemented in order to reduce cost and grow the business in the future.

For ecological and financial reasons it is imperative that local authorities have long term plans for waste. This proposal aims to establish a 10 year plan to increase recycling and contain the growth of waste costs as well as developing a post 2022 solution for disposal of residual waste.

Delivering our Fees and Charges Policy
The Authority has an agreed Fees and Charges Policy that reflects policy priorities, need and the wider market in which we operate. This proposal will continue our work to regularly review our Fees and Charges.

How we are organised;

Responding to rising complex needs

Leading Sector-led Improvement
North Tyneside has developed a national reputation for the quality of its children’s services, including receiving Partners in Practice status from the Department for Education and the opportunity to deliver sector-led improvement to other authorities in the country. This work will develop a long-term offer for SLI as well as exploring opportunities to provide ad hoc and bespoke support to authorities that seek it from us. This will bring additional income.

A focus on the social care customer experience
