To help cut costs Teignbridge has been discussing sharing ICT services with other local authorities for some time. Initially a partnership with Plymouth City Council, East Devon District Council and Exeter City Council was considered, with the North, East and West Clinical Commissioning Group joining in June this year; this group is known as the Delt Partnership. Scrutiny however showed projected savings were far lower than expected. An alternative partnership involving only district-level councils has also been considered; this includes TDC, Exeter and East Devon. ICT underpins every service the Council offers and in the meantime expenditure on upgrading the existing system will continue because the systems in place at Teignbridge at the moment will become unusable next spring – as I am sure you are aware Windows XP will cease to be supported and government at all levels will only communicate on secure systems. This has been on the cards for some time and yet nothing was done until February this year – now we are to rush into a new partnership with not enough preparation and I suspect no real savings. This year’s delayed voter registration canvass is now underway. You will recall the government had asked all councils to delay the canvass to aid the introduction of Individual Electoral Registration. 16,491 reminders have been posted out to non-responding properties, this is 28% of the total number of properties that received a form in October. The automated services have once again proved popular with over 41% of households confirming their details this way; a 2% increase on last year. The foot canvassers will be going out early in the New Year to visit any remaining non-responding households. It is particularly important that we produce an accurate register on 17 February as not only will it form the basis of the register used for next May’s European elections, it will also be the register used to confirm elector details on the new system of individual electoral registration from 10th June 2014. The 40-strong team of managers and volunteers who helped Teignbridge win the “Devon Games to Inspire” trophy for the first time in a decade has been crowned Teignbridge's Sports Personality of the Year 2013. Their efforts were recognised at the Awards which were held at the Langstone Cliff Hotel in Dawlish Warren on Friday 29th November. Teignbridge achieved five gold medals in the gymnastics, bowls, skateboarding, quick stick hockey and cricket. Silver medals were awarded for boccia (a Paralympic target ball sport where athletes throw, kick or use a ramp to propel a ball onto the court with the aim of getting closest to a 'jack' ball), tennis, Year 9&10 triathlon, High 5 and Year 9&10 table tennis. Bronze medals were given to teams competing in boys’ badminton, Year 5&6 table tennis, netball, BMX and Year 7&8 triathlon. To County matters. Devon is in the top three performing counties in the country when it comes to recycling its waste. With a recycling rate of 55%, it remains slightly behind Oxfordshire and Leicestershire in the recycling league tables. Residents in West Devon have the best recycling rate in the county at 57%, followed closely by Teignbridge (56%) and South Hams (54%). Although rates are high, there is still work to be done to reach Devon’s recycling target of 65% by 2025. Residents in Devon produce 350,000 tonnes of rubbish every year and around 45% of that goes to landfill. This costs £11 Million every year in landfill tax alone which could be spent on other services. Next year communities across Devon will commemorate the contribution and sacrifice that families a century ago gave during World War One. More than 11,000 Devon men and women died in the Great War. Communities will be coming together to discover stories about their shared past. Devon County Council has teamed up with a range of organisations – including the Royal British Legion, City Councils, Torbay Council, 43 Wessex Brigade, the Royal Navy, Exeter University, Devon Museums Group, and local history societies – to co-ordinate community projects across Devon that commemorate the centenary. This is called Devon Remembers, and its focus will initially be on the restoration of public war memorials with £150k being made available. There were an estimated 2,000 memorials created in Devon at the end of the Great War, in local communities, as well as by schools, clubs, churches and even businesses. Organisations responsible for the maintenance of public war memorials can apply for grants of between £750 to £3,000, on condition that they contribute at least 25% of the total cost of the restoration project. The grant will be administered by the Community Council for Devon on behalf of Devon County Council. Devon County Council has launched a campaign to encourage more prospective adopters because there are 33 children in the County waiting to be adopted. Devon Adoption service has children ranging in ages from six months to eight years, including sibling groups, waiting for a loving, safe, permanent home. The service has cut the length of time it takes to approve adoption applications and made the process simpler to encourage more adoptive parents to come forward. Devon Adoption is keen to hear from prospective adopters. There is a new website and dedicated telephone line to help people who want to find out more about adopting, or about becoming an adopter. Devon Adoption has extended opening times for people to drop in and find out more about the process. Devon Adoption social workers will be on hand to assist and provide advice. The number to call for information is 0345 155 1076 and the local office is at Follaton House. The cancellation of the Atlantic Array is "likely" to be just the first of many offshore wind farms shelved as Government policies wage a war of "attrition" on investors, industry experts have warned. The cancellation of the giant project highlights the danger of relying on overseas energy suppliers to make key investments about future power generation. This project would have provided clean carbon free energy to most of the homes in the South West and 200 well paid full time jobs. And finally the 12th November marked one year on from the start of the SDLR – two more years to go . . .
