Auditor's Annual (VfM) Report on East Sussex County Council 2023/24 from Grant Thornton, External Auditors.
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Made at meeting: 28/01/2025 - Cabinet

Effective from: 04/02/2025
Decision:
46.1 The Cabinet considered
a report by the Chief Finance Officer.
46.2 It was RESOLVED to note the report.
Reason
46.3 The Annual (Value for Money) Report for 2023/24 has identified a significant weakness within Financial Sustainability but has been able to provide assurance around Governance and Improving Economy, Efficiency and Effectiveness.

Cabinet is asked to approve the Conservators of Ashdown Forest’s core budget for 2024/25.
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Made at meeting: 28/01/2025 - Cabinet
Decision published: 28/01/2025
Effective from: 04/02/2025
Decision:
49.1 The Cabinet considered a report by the Chief Operating Officer.
49.2 It was RESOLVED to:
1)
Note the Quarter 2 budget position for the Conservators’
2024/25 Core Budget;
2)
Note the Conservators of Ashdown Forest medium term financial plan;
and
3) Approve the 2025/26 Core Budget.
Reason
49.3 The report sets out the financial position of the Conservators of the Ashdown Forest (COAF) for 2024/25 against the approved budget agreed by the Board of Conservators at their meeting on 20 November 2023 and was presented to Cabinet in January 2024.
49.4 The current 2024/25 Core budget projections indicate that no additional contribution from ESCC will be required.
49.5 The current Countryside Stewardship (CS) budget is forecast to overspend by £25,996 this year. This is less than the budgeted overspend of £131,531 and similar to the previous year. The position reflects the difficulties that have been had securing contractors to undertake works on the forest. The Conservators are developing a three-year forest management plan and new procurement policy to lock in contractors over the coming three years. The deficit will be funded from the CS reserve.
Lead officer: Ian Gutsell

Reason
45.3 This Council has a firm foundation of sound and prudent financial management over many years, endorsed by external assessments. We have taken difficult decisions when we needed to in order to balance the books and make best use of stretched resources. Our robust RPPR process has enabled us to direct spending towards priorities and core services, in particular protecting services for the most vulnerable in our county.
45.4 However, despite this strong record, the scale of the challenge the Council now faces is substantial. The continuing escalation in costs and demand for statutory services, due to factors beyond local control, has not been matched with sufficient increased funding. Despite the action we have taken locally to address pressures wherever we can, there is a very significant deficit and substantial risk in the coming years. There also remains considerable uncertainty about the future funding regime for local government, as well as wider service and structural reforms, and how any changes will impact on the Council.
45.5 There is continued national reliance on raising funding for core pressures, particularly growing demand in social care, through local Council Tax which is unrelated to need and unsustainable. In this context we must again ask local people to contribute more to protect services for the most vulnerable for the future. This recommendation is not made lightly, given the ongoing pressures on household budgets, but it is essential if we are to protect services as far as possible. Support will continue to be available through local Council Tax Support Schemes for those residents eligible and we will continue to work with partners to signpost residents to sources of support with the cost of living, including access to benefits they may be entitled to.
45.6 Even after this contribution, the budget presented for the year ahead relies on delivering significant and difficult savings, which will impact on local people, our staff and partners, and on using further reserves to balance the books, removing this safety net for the future. This is an unsustainable position.
45.7 In this context, and with future funding for local government under review, our lobbying will also be vitally important. We will respond with clarity and with evidence to the Government’s consultations on funding and service reform. We will ensure the hard choices already having to be made, and the impacts these will have on local residents, business and communities, are heard loud and clear. We will continue to work with our local, regional and national partners to highlight the specific needs of East Sussex and to press for fair, sustainable funding that enables us to meet the requirements of our residents for essential support. Until this is delivered our medium term financial position will remain extremely difficult and present significant risk to our ability to meet local needs in the future.

To consider the results of the public consultation on the proposal to align Rother Districts permit structure and tariffs to those currently being used in Eastbourne Borough and Lewes District. Introducing tariffs based on vehicle emissions, with higher emitting vehicles being charged more for permits than those producing less emissions and the proposed increase of pay and display charges to encourage alternative travel modes.
Decision Maker: Lead Member for Transport and Environment
Made at meeting: 27/01/2025 - Lead Member for Transport and Environment
Decision published: 27/01/2025
Effective from: 01/02/2025
Decision:
47.1 The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport together with written comments from Local Members Councillors Clark and Field.
DEICISONS
47.2 The Lead Member RESOLVED to:
(1) Note the response to the public consultation on increasing on-street parking charges and the proposed changes to permit charges;
(2) Approve the proposals to increase on-street parking and permit charges as detailed at Appendix 2 of the report; and
(3) Agree that parking and permit charges across the county will be reviewed annually.
REASONS
47.3 By offering a reduction in the permit charge based on vehicle carbon dioxide emissions, the Council can help to facilitate the uptake of vehicles with cleaner fuels across Rother, Eastbourne, Hastings and Lewes, which in turn will help to reduce pollution in coastal towns and local town centres. Introducing such an incentive will help to achieve key outcomes within the Local Transport Plan 4 (LTP4) focussed on helping to achieve the Council's net-zero ambitions and support the reduction of emissions to improve air quality. The increase as set out in Appendix 2 of the report, will encourage greater use of sustainable modes of transport wherever possible. Using alternative modes of transport will help to reduce vehicle congestion and pollution in the town centres.
47.4 The charges will be reviewed annually to ensure they remain appropriate, in line with the annual review which takes place for all other Civil Parking Enforcement areas.
47.5 Charging at a sufficient level to impact driver behaviour, can bolster the local economy by encouraging a ‘churn’ of visitors and shoppers, rather than spaces being occupied by a single user for a long period of time. The proposals for the on-street parking charges aim to encourage greater use of off-street car parks, reduce the number of vehicles driving on town centre roads searching for parking spaces, and aim to encourage greater use of alternative modes of transport which in turn will reduce harmful emissions and improve air quality. These outcomes will make these towns a more appealing place to work, live and visit and thereby boost the local economy.
47.6 Any future parking surplus, excluding existing commitments, could be used as a further contribution towards the Council’s public transport costs. The investment in these activities is complementary to the objectives of the LTP4 in the provision of sustainable transport which assists in supporting accessibility to key destinations and creating healthy places however, these improvements alone will not enable the change in behaviour that the proposals to parking charges are seeking to achieve.

To consider a petition calling on the County Council to install a speed camera in the vicinity of the zebra crossing in Upperton Road, to monitor traffic travelling towards the town centre.
Decision Maker: Lead Member for Transport and Environment
Made at meeting: 27/01/2025 - Lead Member for Transport and Environment
Decision published: 27/01/2025
Effective from: 01/02/2025
Decision:
46.1 The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport.
46.2 Mr Alan Howlett, the Lead Petitioner for the petition calling on the County Council to install a speed camera in Upperton Road, Eastbourne spoke to highlight safety concerns surrounding the pedestrian crossings on Upperton Road and the benefits of a speed camera if installed within the vicinity of the pedestrian crossings.
DECISIONS
46.3 The Lead Member RESOLVED to advise petitioners that:
(1) The area in the vicinity of the zebra crossing on Upperton Road does not meet the Sussex Safer Roads Partnership criteria for a speed camera; and
(2) The existing speed camera further along Upperton Road, near the Goffs is due to be replaced in 2025.
REASONS
46.4 The site has been assessed against the criteria for a speed camera. The crash history and the causation factors of these crashes at the site for the previous 3-year period mean that the threshold for a speed camera to be considered has not been met.
