C03 - Adult Care Transport
This proposal will end the automatic provision of transport for people to access adult social care services. The Council currently provides transport for many people attending adult social care and other community services at a cost of around £1million per year. Journey costs are very high per journey and are heavily subsidised. The Council is not legally required to provide transport for these purposes. Other councils facing similar budget pressures have reduced or... MoreClosed 19 December 2011 -
C04 - Richard St Mental Health Therapy & Well Being Service
This proposal will involve a review of the services provided for people with mental health problems at Richard Street. The overall range of services will be reduced to concentrate on those that meet specific social care needs. It is sometimes difficult to separate health and social care needs, especially for people with mental health problems. However, it is intended that services at Richard Street which are primarily meeting health needs will be discontinued. Fewer staff will be... MoreClosed 19 December 2011 -
C07 - Adult Care Resource Allocation System
The proposal includes the introduction of a system of allocating resources fairly to all Adult Care service users, as personal budgets are rolled out across the service. Over the next year, Adult Care will be issuing many more personal budgets for care services. Eventually all service users will receive a personal budget for their care. The current process is limited to services provided to older people. As other service users with more complex needs are provided with budgets,... MoreClosed 19 December 2011 -
P01 - Introduction of Charges for Bulky Waste Collections
This proposal will introduce charges for the collection of bulky waste items such as beds, mattresses, carpets and chairs. These items are currently removed free of charge. Proposed charges will be £18 for up to three items plus £5 for every additional item. It is anticipated that the charges will generate additional income but will not significantly impact fly tipping. The indicative saving for this proposal is £37,000 As the proposal will affect service users, we have... MoreClosed 19 December 2011 -
C09 - Reshaping of Services within the Youth Offending Team (YOT)
This proposal involves reshaping services within the youth offending team. Due to a reduced demand for some front line and also some support services, we’re proposing to reduce staffing levels. We will also make changes to our use of IT data systems. This will enable us to reduce costs by ceasing to use one of the data recording systems currently in use. The indicative saving for this proposal is £60,000 As the proposal will affect service users, we have undertaken an... MoreClosed 19 December 2011 -
P04 - Review of Street Services
This proposal is to reduce the provision of street services such as street cleansing, grass cutting and litter picking in parks and open spaces. This means less time will be spent on these areas with priority given to maintaining major routes and gateways. The proposed reduction will still meet our statutory responsibilities. The indicative saving for this proposal is £500,000 As the proposal will affect service users, we have undertaken an Equality Impact Assessment to... MoreClosed 19 December 2011 -
PS01 - Internal Library Re-structure and one year only reduction to the book fund
This proposal involves reorganising the library staff and reducing the book fund, which is used to buy books and other stock. The cut to the book fund would be for a one year period only. There will be no change to the opening hours or number of libraries in the borough. When we analysed staff rotas across the borough, we found we could organise them better to cover busy and quiet periods more efficiently and make savings. This proposal means that some libraries would become... MoreClosed 19 December 2011 -
PS02 - Customer Service Centres
This proposal involves moving the Customer Service Centres in Rochdale, Heywood, Milnrow and Middleton to operate from the libraries in those places, and changing the way people access information. People will be able to get information or make basic enquiries by speaking to advisors at the Contact Centre via free phones in the libraries or by phoning up from elsewhere, and via the internet either from home or in libraries. People will also be able to make appointments for more... MoreClosed 19 December 2011 -
PS13 - Youth Service
This proposal will reduce the budget for the Youth Service, including staff, premises costs and diversionary activities. It is proposed to delete vacant posts and reduce operational costs, whilst minimising the impact on frontline services when compared to those being delivered now. We propose to reduce the hours of youth work available per week by 45 or 13.8%. There are no plans to reduce the number of youth centres managed by the Youth Service. The indicative saving for...

PS17 - Joint Health Unit
This proposal stops the contribution from Children’s Services to the Joint Health Unit. This team works with the council and the Primary Care Trust to support work around health policy, strategy and research, to develop better services and more joined-up working across the two organisations to tackle health inequalities. The budget has been underspent for the last two years. The indicative saving for this proposal is £35,000 MoreClosed 19 December 2011 -
