Both events are popular with the community. They provide an opportunity for families to enjoy a free day out and provide a boost to footfall in Leyland town centre, with up to 20,000 expecting to attend, which in turn benefits the local economy. With regards to Leyland Festival, this funding would allow the event to remain free for people attending. In the current cost of living crisis this is beneficial for our residents and aligns with our corporate priority of ensuring we have happy and healthy communities. Without a grant agreement in place the council has no oversight of how the funding will be spent or assurance that the events help to deliver corporate strategy priorities. It is South Ribble Borough Council’s 50th year and supporting these events will allow us to provide opportunities in the year for communities to come together and celebrate.

Not providing the grant would mean that the two events cannot be held. Not putting a grant agreement does not provide the council with information on spend and delivery. |

Reasons for decision
|
|
|
|
|
The decision ensures the structure is fit for purpose to deliver the team and service action plans.
The council completes earlier commitments within teams that the service will be reviewed and re-structured, and job evaluation to be undertaken on roles within the teams.
The council is able to transfer all remaining employees in the service to the new terms and conditions.

Other options considered and rejected
|
|
|
|
|
The existing structure could be retained, but this would not reflect the changes in organisational structures and limit the ability of the service to move forward.
Options submitted as part of consultation provided an alternative structure for Active Health. These were considered and a potential option that could be implemented. However they are not taken forward at this time, as the structure suggested will meet the needs of the council and be sustainable over the longer term. |
