“Chalk Media is a rare example of adding value to your business whilst actually reducing your costs. Since we started using a media agency to co-ordinate our modest campaigns over a year ago, we have been able to get much more for our money and explore new ad opportunities. What sets Chalk apart is their untouchable local knowledge and desire to provide a personable service. They helped co-ordinate a launch of a new College campus in Thurrock, using a range of media, and I was very pleased with the results. Nothing is too much to ask and bearing in mind that you are not charged directly for their services, and you get a better rate and save time than by booking space independently, I have absolutely no reservation in recommending them. In fact I already have recommended to my HR department, who now use them exclusively for our recruitment ads – once again saving money and time.!”

Hi Claire

Just wanted to say thank you to you and your team, I have just sat and worked out some figures and since joining you in February we have saved a lot of money especially with the TES! We really appreciate your service and are happy to recommend you. I have forwarded the details of the savings on to the Head of HR and she is extremely happy.

Thanks again

Having previously used another Media company I was skeptical about changing over to Chalk Media as I was concerned about the impact it would have on our current marketing.

I can now say that the move across to Chalk Media was exceptionally smooth, they handled everything and I only had to give my approval of the new ideas and campaigns.

Now having worked alongside Chalk Media for over a year I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to anyone looking to further their business. The turnaround times for designs and printing are extremely speedy and the costs are always very competitive. The design ideas that Chalk Media have implemented to the Grahams group have been exceptional and I look forward to dealing with them in the future.

Chalk Media has been Teddys Bathrooms, Kitchens and Tiles media port of call for the past three years, and we are still very happy with the high quality service they offer. The company based in Ramsden Heath is even local enough for us to pop to should we need to do this.

Another reassuring thing is that Chalk Media keep us up to date with the weekly or monthly advertising we do by regular emails with spread sheets which allows us to budget ahead.

All in all I think Chalk Media is a company that can be used with confidence.

Your CouncillorThere are sixty councillors in the Tendring district and

they make the important decisions for the council such as

where the money is spent, what major projects are set up

and how the council is run.

The Tendring district is split in to 35 smaller areas which

are called wards. Every four years, residents can vote to

chose who they want as the councillor(s) to represent

their ward.

If you have an issue you want raised about services

provided by the Council in your area you can contact your

local councillor and ask him or her to take action.

What Is Tendring District Council? It is a local authority that provides services to around 142,000 residents in a district that covers 130 square miles.

What TDC does sometimes gets confused with the services provided by Essex County Council ( ECC). This is because ECC provides services for the whole of Essex including the Tendring district.

Essex County Council is responsible for services like schools, social services, youth centres and libraries. Whereas Tendring District Council is only responsible for services in the local area such as collecting your rubbish, providing council housing and leisure centres.

spent on District Council Services. The Council Tax is also spent on services

4.18 Meanwhile, EEDA is exploring with both GO East and EP ways to improve efficiency in delivering the Sustainable Communities Plan including the use of common appraisal processes and streamlined documentation. As part of this, the Green Book appraisals for any NGP funded projects will be handled centrally by EEDA-commissioned consultants to a common format agreed with GO East.

4.19 EEDA and CABE have a jointly funded Design Manager who will ensure that projects receive the appropriate CABE input. We should also point out that the sub-region has a long history of design excellence particularly through the use of the Essex and Suffolk Design Guides.

4.20 HGP puts a high priority on delivering affordable housing. HGP will work with partners to deliver the objectives identified by the Regional Housing Strategy, the HGP housing group and individual housing needs studies. Given the Government’s Efficiency Agenda and the Housing Corporation’s drive for economies in procurement, we

understand the importance of developing relationships with the Corporation’s chosen strategic partners.

4.21 HGP will also continue its work as a SREP and lead on the economic strategy for the sub-region with particular emphasis on:• Job creation• Education and training• Tourism• Promotion and marketing

4.22 HGP will undertake a lead role in the sub-region for these activities in the following sectors:• Maritime and logistics• Construction and trade skills• Tourism• Transport and Infrastructure• Wider community investment projects

like EEDA’s Investing in Communities programme

4.23 In addition, HGP will work to ensure delivery by• Gaining buy-in of all major public sector

organizations plus private and voluntary sectors in the sub-region.

• Acting as a policy developer and sounding board on regional initiatives and identifying sub-regional priorities in terms of the RES.

• Working with, and developing the capacity of, LSPs and LDVs in their area.

• Providing input into research, regional observatory, data gathering etc.

4.24 HGP will work closely with East of England International (EEI), the DTI-sponsored international business support agency for the region, in attracting inward investment to the region and in providing international support for local businesses. EEI has particular strengths in a number of sectors relevant to Haven Gateway, notably logistics and communications. Given Haven Gateway’s international transport connections, this is a key relationship in securing economic growth

4.25 Other stakeholders will be engaged either on a project-by-project basis - as they are at present – or at local authority level. This is particularly relevant for the LSPs of which there are (potentially) eight to engage.

4.9 HGP has a planning group made up of planning officers from the local authority partners. This group is responsible for commissioning sub-regional studies, preparing the non-statutory sub-regional framework and ensuring that local development documents are consistent with the overall vision for Haven Gateway. These arrangements have been in place for some time and we have confidence that they are effective.

4.10 The draft sub-regional framework and supporting documents, which they have prepared and commissioned, have been shared with GO East and ODPM.

4.11 In Colchester, the Borough Council and Essex CC have set up the Colchester Renaissance Partnership Board, charged with delivering the regeneration programme for the Borough as a whole and focused on four major projects in the town. Essex has funded a full time project manager for the first project, based at a new joint office. EEDA and GO-East are also involved as

non-voting members of the partnership. The four main projects are:• East Colchester • St Botolph’s• North Colchester• The Garrison

4.12 In Ipswich, Ipswich Borough Council and EEDA have issued the “Ipswich Prospectus” an overarching strategy for growth which identifies four regeneration quarters:• Education Quarter• Waterfront Quarter• Town Centre• Ipswich Village

4.13 Ipswich Borough Council and EEDA will jointly employ a consultant team to be responsible for delivery.

4.14 It is envisaged that more formal partnership arrangements will be established for Ipswich, involving Suffolk County Council and the surrounding districts, in line with the functional urban area identified through the RCE initiative.

4.15 Mid-Suffolk District Council has been invited to become a member of HGP, although it has only five wards around Ipswich included in the designated Haven Gateway area. If Mid-Suffolk decides not to take up formal membership, HGP will liaise with it on issues affecting the Ipswich Housing Area, in particular the “SnOasis” development – the proposed largest indoor winter sports centre in Europe.

4.16 RCE is developing a proposal to set up joint staff sharing and learning initiatives across the network of regional cities including the establishment of a high-level delivery team. Both Colchester and Ipswich, and therefore the HGP can be expected to benefit from this initiative.

4.17 English Partnerships is currently involved in Haven Gateway through the North Colchester project. In 2005, EP decided not to become involved in new areas of activity outside the Growth Areas and the northern Housing Market Renewal areas. We understand that EP has yet to consider whether this will apply to NGPs or not.

Summary Of Objectves And Activities

New Growth Point /// Page 24 New Growth Point /// Page 25

PurposeThe sub-region has never been planned and developed in a co-ordinated fashion in the past and has only recently been formally recognised as a sub-region in the (draft) East of England Plan. This plan sets a challenging agenda for the Gateway up to 2021 and beyond. The purpose of this framework is to provide a planned programme for delivery at a sub regional scale. Whilst it is a non statutory document, it will provide sub regional partners with an agreed strategy and assessment of capacity, phasing and the interventions required to ensure delivery and implementation of sub regional objectives.

The Partnership will consider whether the non statutory document is fit for purpose or whether a statutory framework will be required in due course.

The sub regional strategy is focussed on key delivery themes and does not seek to duplicate other topics covered in national, regional or local guidance. It will be a collective framework providing the basis for the delivery which will inform districts in preparing their local development documents and community plans, the partnership and associated organisations.

Accordingly the strategy will:• provide strategic guidance on the scale,

location and timing of development and associated employment, transport and other infrastructure to 2021 and the necessary delivery mechanisms;

• provide necessary strategic guidance for Local Planning Authorities in preparing Local Development Documents (LDDs) which, together, will provide a clear planning framework for implementing the proposals of the Regional Plan; and

• inform the preparation or reviews of Community Strategies, economic strategies, and housing strategies and other operation plans and policies of bodies responsible for undertaking investment in the public, private and voluntary sectors, including the delivery bodies.

ContentThe sub regional strategy comprises an overarching vision and strategy and key spatial diagram for the whole of the sub area (Part A) and a set of separate statements providing specific guidance (Part B).

Part A – Vision and Strategy

VisionThere is already a strong collective vision for the Gateway: …to deliver a high quality environment for its residents, workers and visitors, by capitalising on its location as a key gateway, realising its potential for significant sustainable growth, addressing its need for economic regeneration, creating an additional focus for growth of hi-tech, knowledge based employment and protecting and enhancing its high quality attractive historical, cultural and natural assets.

(as amended EIP inc. reps)

StrategyThe Gateway will achieve coherence through better communication and a strong collective purpose. It will be much more than the sum of its parts:• the cumulative scale of growth across

the sub-region will make investment more attractive. The size and diversity of employment will increase opportunities to work within the Gateway for all its residents reducing the current level of net out commuting.

• the promotion of the Gateway as an entity will mean that every successive high quality new development and piece of additional infrastructure will raise the profile of the sub-region as a whole.

• the ‘new geography’ of the Gateway will being a stronger sense of place.

• Collaboration of objectives will enable the compatible and complementary development across the sub-region.

Part B - The strategy

Strategy ObjectivesThe objectives of the sub regional strategy are:• to deliver a substantial increase in the

number of new homes provided in parts of the sub-region, meeting needs for affordable housing and a range of types and sizes of housing markets, contributing towards the Government’s sustainable community plan objectives;

• to provide for a commensurate level of economic growth and developing skills in the workforce, particularly in the high tech, academic knowledge based and maritime and logistics sectors;

• to locate development in the main urban areas to support urban renaissance, regeneration of deprived areas, optimising PDL and sustainable patterns of travel;

• to meet existing infrastructure needs and provide for new development by investing in new and improved infrastructure;

• to ensure that development contributes to an improved environment by requiring high standards of design, protecting and enhancing environmental assets and providing green space and related infrastructure;

• to create sustainable communities by ensuring that economic, environmental, social and cultural infrastructure needs are met in step with growth.

Designing out crime

The connections between the six themes

• The Sustainable Community Strategy looks ahead to what the District could look like in 2016 through the actions of the key organisations represented on the Local Strategic Partnership working together.

• Community planning involves a joined-up approach to the so-called “wicked issues” across the district such as crime, health, the environment and deprivation which no one organisation can solve on its own.

• The Tendring Local Strategic Partnership was formed in 1998 and has recently reviewed its organisation and ways of working to ensure that it is fit for purpose. It is the partnership of partnerships in the eyes of the government.

• The Sustainable Community Strategy is based on a number of key inputs including: – The views of the public;

– Evidence about the key characteristics of the District;

– Government policies and guidance the against which the key organisations have to deliver either individually or working together;

– The shape of things to come – external influences most notably climate change which will influence and shape the future policy agenda;

– Ensuring that the partners have a shared understanding of the dynamics of change locally and the direction of travel we want to follow; and

– Focusing on key issues and outcomes – taking actions which will make a real difference to the quality of life of local residents.

• In the future there will be a greater need for community leadership reflecting the different needs of individuals and communities. A “one size fits all” approach will not be appropriate.

• Some of the key interventions will need to recognise that prevention is better than cure and changing attitudes and personal behaviour requires new ways of engaging with the public and actions at an early stage for those at risk of crime, family breakdown or substance abuse.

• The vision has taken into account the opportunities to bring about change in different settings with different audiences and new ways of working together with new sources of finance.

• Part 4 of the document sets out a descriptive vision of what Tendring could be like in 2016. The steps necessary and appropriate milestones to achieve the Partnership’s aspirations have been identified in the proposals.

• There are five Ps to delivery:-

– The six partnership strategic themes set out below which have a geographical dimension in terms of;

– The places where they will be delivered – the communities across the district;

– A population component – the groups they will affect;

– Creating a prosperous economy for the benefit of our residents;

– And looking to Posterity – preserving and enhancing the District for future generations taking all aspects of climate change into account.

The six strategic themes and objectives are:-

Health – the population of the district is able to live longer, healthier lives less limited by long-term illness.

Economic Development – Tendring has a stronger and more dynamic local economy together with a skilled workforce.

Children and Young People – have an equal opportunity for a good start in life.

Crime and Disorder – keeping the district one of the safest parts of the country.

Deprivation – narrowing the gap between the most disadvantaged areas and elsewhere.

Environment – the attractive environment of the district is safeguarded for future generations.

• The actions taken under each theme are mutually reinforcing as the diagram opposite shows.

• For each theme a lead co-ordinating organisation will be identified to develop a three year Action and Delivery Plan with annual delivery plans which will be regularly monitored by the Executive Board of the Local Strategic Partnership and the results reported annually at a Stakeholders and Community Conference.

One-line definitionPlaces where people want to live and work, now and in the future.

DefinitionSustainable communities are places where people want to live and work, now and in the future. They meet the diverse needs of existing and future residents, are sensitive to their environment, and contribute to a high quality of life. They are safe and inclusive, well planned, built and run, and offer equality of opportunity and good services for all.

Components: headlinesSustainable communities are:-• Active, inclusive and safe;• Well run;• Environmentally sensitive;• Well designed and built;• Well connected;• Thriving;• Well served; and• Fair for everyone.

Sustainable communities embody the principles of sustainable development.

They:-• Balance and integrate the social,

economic and environmental components of their community;

• Meet the needs of existing and future generations; and

• Respect the needs of other communities in the wider region or internationally also to make their communities sustainable.

Sustainable communities are diverse, reflecting their local circumstances. There is no standard template to fit them all. But they should be:

(1) ACTIVE, INCLUSIVE AND SAFE – Fair, tolerant and cohesive with a strong local culture and other shared community activitiesSustainable communities offer:-• A sense of community identity and

belonging;• Tolerance, respect and engagement

with people from different cultures, background and beliefs;

• Friendly, co-operative and helpful behaviour in neighbourhoods;

• Opportunities for cultural, leisure, community, sport and other activities, including for children and young people;

• Low levels of crime, drugs and anti-social behaviour with visible, effective and community-friendly policing; and

• Social inclusion and good life chances for all.

(2) WELL-RUN – with effective and inclusive participation, representation and leadershipSustainable communities enjoy:-• Representative, accountable governance

systems which both facilitate strategic, visionary leadership and enable inclusive, active and effective participation by individuals and organisations;

• Effective engagement with the community at neighbourhood level, including capacity building to develop the community’s skills, knowledge and confidence;

• Strong, informed and effective partnerships that lead by example (e.g. government, business, community);

• A strong, inclusive, community and voluntary sector; and

• A sense of civic values, responsibility and pride.

(3) ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE – providing places for people to live that are considerate of the environmentSustainable communities:-• Actively seek to minimise climate change,

including through energy efficiency and the use of renewables

• Protect the environment, by minimising pollution on land, in water and in the air;

• Minimise waste and dispose of it in accordance with current good practice;

• Make efficient use of natural resources, encouraging sustainable production and consumption

• Protect and improve bio-diversity (e.g. wildlife habitats);

• Enable a lifestyle that minimises negative environmental impact and enhances positive impacts (e.g. by creating opportunities for walking and cycling, and reducing noise pollution and dependence on cars); and

• Create cleaner, safer and greener neighbourhoods (e.g. by reducing litter and graffiti, and maintaining pleasant public spaces).
