



There are 162 projects managed by the Council, the voluntary sector
and other statutory organisations which become time expired in
2006/07, drawing on total funds of £29,205,985.
15 projects will come to a natural end during this period and 20 have
identified further funding. The total value of these projects is
£1,065,038.
Of the remaining 127 projects 88 are managed by Salford City Council
to a value of £25,930,452 either in whole or in part through external
sources.
£10,244,043 of this is not time expired in 2006/07, leaving £15,686,409
as the amount of time expired funding that will need to be replaced or
managed out.
This report provides information on the 127 projects that are without any
confirmed funding at the moment and specifically on the 88 that are Council
managed.
3 Time Expired Activity
Of the 127 projects currently without confirmed funding 88 of these are
managed by the City Council, while a further 23 are managed by the voluntary
sector and 16 by other statutory agencies. (A full list of all the projects can be

The following table demonstrates that these 88 projects currently draw on a

Although some funding sources will still be available beyond March 2006, at
present we have limited certainty of how much funding will be available and in
some cases the criteria for allocation.








Children’s Fund - £2.7m is confirmed for 05/08. A decision will be made
on what projects to fund by September at the latest.
European Structural Funds – Talks are ongoing between the UK
Government and the European Commission and at present no new
sources of funding can be confirmed to cover the period 2007-13.
GONW – Currently pays for Positive Action for Young People and
future allocations are unknown.
HMRF - funding will be limited to capital activity during the next phase
of funding from April 2006 with very little or none available to spend on
revenue activity.
NRF - There are indications that the NRF resources available will be
lower than previous allocations, which may have implications for the
City Council’s budget. The above table shows that during the current
financial year £5,807,814 worth of Neighbourhood Renewal Funding
contributes to mainstream (base budget) activity, principally in
Community and Social Services and Education and Leisure.
NDC – Have an indicative programme of £10m for 06/07 which may
not be confirmed until March 2006.
Teenage Pregnancy Local Implementation Grant - From April 2006 the
specific Teenage Pregnancy LIG will no longer be ring-fenced and £158,000
will form part of SCC settlement.
Sure Start Plus (Teenage Pregnancy) - Local programmes are expected
to evaluate elements of their programmes for funding by mainstream after
2006.
Appendix B gives further details on when we can expect this picture to
become clearer.
4 Staffing
Work is currently being undertaken in conjunction with departmental
accountants and HR to identify the number of staff who are funded through
time expired activity. Information is being collected around the posts affected
to assess the full potential impact of reduced funding. In some cases this task
will be more difficult as external funding is offsetting mainstream base budget
and individual staff cannot be identified against external funding. Where
necessary therefore it is intended to estimate the number of staff who could
be affected by time expired funding.
Under our HR Strategy those employees on fixed term contracts which are
coming to an end will be assisted by both management and Directorate's HR
team through the redeployment process and helped to obtain other posts
within the City Council. Some employees may have substantive posts to
return to and this process will also be facilitated. However those employees
who are unable to obtain a post prior to the end of their contract will be
entitled to a redundancy payment if they have the requisite service (two
years). The information obtained through our current work will be used to
establish the financial implications of such a situation.
5 Next Steps
Proformas are currently being completed on all the projects listed identifying
succession strategies and project/service performance. This will inform an
evaluation process and assist in the prioritisation of activity for future funding.
Projects which identify future funding as sources come online over the course
of the coming months will be removed from the schedule and future reports
will reflect this accordingly. The time expiry reports are constantly evolving
and the information presented here represents the picture as of 21 st July
2005.
The information presented here will form the basis of discussions at the next
meeting of Directors on 28th July. Following this we will be taking the report to
the Regeneration Initiatives Officer Working Group and Cabinet Working
Group on 8th and 22nd August respectively.
