SWINDON BOROUGH COUNCIL AGENDA

Recommendations

Info

A number of respondents used more than one format or made multiple submissions during the consultation period. 75 submissions did not provide either a contact name or a verifiable address. 1.8 Feedback from public meetings: Broadgreen Community Centre, Central Swindon Concern about potential impact on businesses, concern about the Council’s mandate to progress new parishes, general questions about the validity of the process and timeframes. West Swindon Library, West Swindon 46 residents attended. Aren’t there better ways to address the issues? Some of the Council’s resources could work harder than they do currently e.g. operational hours during high season. Concern about unnecessary extra costs in relation to administration and bureaucracy. Who absorbs the costs for facilities accessed by residents generally? Concerns that people cannot afford to pay more and should be given the choice. Will there be a cap on parish precepts? Will businesses contribute? Queries about timeframes and the consultation process. Pinetrees Community Centre, North Central Swindon. 32 residents attended. Why should residents be charged more when services are not up to standard already? Why is so much money being spent on older people and vulnerable people? What is the rationale for not including a small proportion of households into Haydon Wick parish despite sending in submissions to this effect? The Council should have raised the Council tax over the years rather than creating this problem now. Why isn’t there going to be a referendum? Concern about costs of bureaucracy and administration. What consideration is being given to a single parish? Will there be a cap on parish precepts? Lawns Community Centre, Old Town/Lawn 60 residents attended Concerns about how boundaries have been drawn and the rationale for dividing up certain communities. Queries and concerns about liability and maintenance of local facilities and assets. Concern about costs of the town centre. Queries and concerns about validity of the consultation process, timeframes and the lack of community support. Eldene Community Centre – Eldene/Liden 16 residents attended If services provided through Council tax are reducing, is all of this costing us more for less? What has been undertaken to ensure that the parish areas Page 34
proposed such as Central South, are viable? Will parishes have any protection from the Council’s cuts? Concern that consideration must be given to poorer areas where they may be less willingness to participate or to take community action. Some of the new parish areas proposed have masses of green space, has consideration been given to the relative costs across each Parish if they are to look after public open spaces? Shouldn’t Covingham be expanded? Could Parishes be more creative in how they tackle local issues? Will there be a cap on parish precepts? Why isn’t the Council considering one single parish? To what degree are the costs associated with older or vulnerable people being spent on immigrants or asylum seekers and refugees? How will equipment be distributed to parishes? Some feedback that there is support to group Eldene with Nythe and Liden. Analysis of individual responses 1.9 1.10 Coding was applied to redacted, anonymous text with the possibility both that there could be more than one theme per submission and even that a theme could be repeated in that submission 1 . The total number of coded remarks will not equal the total number of responses. The most significant findings are set out in Figure One while all coded responses are listed in Table Two. Members can see the range of comments from those who replied. Given that individual submissions could contain a wide range of views a further breakdown of those who had indicated opposition to creating parishes was undertaken and full details are in Table One below. This additional analysis does indicate that there are still forms of community governance that would be acceptable. 1 Software Used Huang, Ronggui (2014). RQDA: R-based Qualitative Data Analysis.
