BUDGET CONSULTATION
At the end of September 2001 the Council issued its budget consultation document “ A Year of
Opportunity”. The document was issued to over 800 people or groups on the consultation database, 24
responses were received. In addition a forum was held with the Chamber of Commerce on 26th November
2001 to get the views of Salford businesses. The views expressed through both consultation processes are
set out below under the appropriate category.
Crime
1. Concern about the responsiveness of police and their liaison with Housing. Tenant survey
suggested.
2. Fit secure doors to council houses.
3. Increase the use of CCTV
4. Use night patrols to deal with nuisance neighbours.
5. More visible policing
6. Increase expenditure on crime deterrence measures.
7. Provide a children’s play area, playing field and community base at Oakwood Park.
8. Set up a mobile surveillance unit.
9. Improve security measures on Moorfield Close.
10. Increase the use of Anti Social Behaviour Orders
Population Decline
1. Sell land to developers to build homes for sale.
2. Reduce help for Housing Associations
3. Increase operational staff to clean and maintain all areas
4. Standards of cleaning should be consistent across the City.
5. More community representatives should be appointed to steering groups
6. Attitude of civic leaders needs to change. The Council should be more open.
Clean and Healthy City
1. Reintroduce public conveniences.
2. Refuse collection vehicles leave a trail of debris behind when accessing the tip.
3. Problem areas of fly tipping.
4. Planning application to dump spoil will increase pollution.
5. Planning and Environmental services need to work closer together.
6. More frequent street sweeping and quality control inspections.
7. Plant more public trees.
8. More tended green areas should be maintained.
9. Increase cleaning to give a good impression particularly for the Commonwealth Games.
10. Environment needs top be continually assessed and the quality of contractors work appraised.
11. Address derelict buildings and undeveloped sites.
12. Consider funding an initiative with schools to reduce litter and create civic pride.
13. Wage war on litter and the citizens who drop it.
14. Charge for the clinical waste disposal service rather than stopping the service.
Council Tax
1. Use Council facilities for training and expensive hotels like the Marriott.
2. Reduce waste.
3. Trafford get almost everything right yet Salford gets it so wrong.
4. Spend more on the private sector.
3\jbs1611
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
Roads and pavements in the private sector should be given some consideration.
Base Council Tax collection over 12 months rather than 10.
The level of Council Tax is far too high in relation to the services provided.
How can a further increase in Council Tax be justified?
We should not lose money because of population loss.
Get rid of the Area Cost Adjustment.
Social Services and Health
1. Care for the elderly should not be privatised – independent monitoring with teeth is the answer.
2. Do more work with parents and children.
3. Care in the community for the mentally ill does not work.
4. Mobile telephone masts should not be erected in densely populated areas.
5. Prioritise the health, economic, environmental and social well-being of citizens.
6. Protect services for citizens who are most disadvantaged, excluded, marginalized and vulnerable.
7. Increase support for anti-poverty and social inclusion measures.
8. Prioritise children and young people being looked after in care.
9. Invest in the social economy to build its capacity, encourage innovation and support effectiveness.
10. Ensure high quality in services through commissioning.
11. There is no provision for old people in Salford, most of the homes have shut down.
12. Salford is not paying enough to private sector residential homes to care for the elderly.
13. Trafford can afford to pay more to private care homes.
Salford Community Health Council Priorities
Recent work with Salford citizens in various parts of the City suggests that these issues should b given
priority when considering investment:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Reduction of harmful drug and associated problems
Reduction of crime
Reduction of bullying and intimidation
Child care provision
Play and recreational facilities for children and young people
Improving the physical environment
Supporting the development of complementary and alternative therapies
Commonwealth Games and Sport
1. Give nothing, Salford will not get any recognition.
2. It could be cost effective to use the Games to inspire community building.
3. Council should support sports clubs with rent free or subsidised accommodation.
4. Targeted funding of existing organisations can go a long way – without detailed form-filling.
5. It is doubtful if Manchester will share the glory of the Games
Transport and Traffic
1. If you want us to use buses and trams make them regular, late night and cheap.
2. How do people from Irlam and Cadishead travel to The Lowry on public transport?
3. Spend money on specific traffic calming measures.
4. Private businesses are not satisfied with the way sponsorship money for landscaping and traffic
islands has been used.
5. Don’t waste time and money painting roads different colours and painting ridiculous raod
markings.
6. Bus lanes need to be continuous.
7. Roads are continually flooding.
Benefit Fraud
1. Start a claimant system linked to language classes.
Neighbourhood Renewal
2. A large area of land is being used as a tip.
3\jbs1611
3. Houses are losing value due to the ambience of the neighbourhood.
4. The Oakwood Hotel has been allowed to decay – other chains should be encouraged to invest.
5. There is a danger of professional overload in some areas e.g. Ordsall, Langworthy at the expense
of other areas.
Budget Consultation
1. Use the priorities of local people as the major guide to decisions.
2. Increase devolution and control of relevant budgets to service users, carers and citizens.
Youth
1. Improve facilities for youth.
2. Approach kids on the street.
3. If we target the youth the community will fell confident that they can report troublemakers.
Use of Local Contractors
1. Why is it so difficult for Salford Businesses to be approved on the Councils standing list of
contractors?
2. If Salford do wish to partner then it goes both ways.
3. Give local firms an opportunity.
4. Council should assess what businesses are in Salford and what they have to offer the community
5. Focus groups should be arranged to discuss a way forward for businesses in Salford.
Call Centre
1. Staff in the call centre were unable to help a caller.
2. A basic query about the collection of waste bins could not be answered.
