Fulham Palace Road Corridor Scheme - Section 3

nerissa.harrison@lbhf.gov.uk (Transport and Technical Services) — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 00:00:20 +0000

[Closed on 3 December 2012]

In February 2011 the council launched its "Get H&F Moving" campaign and introduced plans to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion at the junction of Fulham Palace Road and Hammersmith Gyratory. This was successfully implemented in March 2012.

Following on from this scheme we are pleased to inform you that the council has secured further funding from Transport for London (TfL) to improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety along the Fulham Palace Road and Fulham High Street corridor.

Consultation regarding Section 1 and Section 2 of the corridor, between Talgarth Road and Fulham Road, was undertaken in September 2012. This consultation regards Section 3 of the corridor between Fulham Road and Putney Bridge Approach.

Aaron.Cahill@lbhf.gov.uk (Finance and Corporate Services) — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 00:00:03 +0000

[Closed on 18 March 2013]

The Council intends to introduce a Local Lettings Plan for the Old Oak Common area of the borough. This will primarily affect new social lettings opportunities that arise from homes that are owned and managed by Old Oak Common Housing Association, part of the Family Mosaic Group. The intention is to introduce greater flexibility to the re-letting of homes in the Old Oak Common to help giver greater priority to those making a community contribution (including working households). The Council also wants to help reduce overcrowding amongst residents living in the Old Oak Common area as well.

The Local Lettings Plan Consultation Draft is provided as a PDF attachment to this survey. We also welcome your answers to a number of questions on the Local Lettings Plan, which you can access by clicking on the Online Survey link below.

Council Tax Support Consultation

benefits@lbhf.gov.uk (Finance and Corporate Services) — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 00:00:06 +0100

[Closed on 15 October 2012]

Introduction

At present, if someone within the borough requires assistance with paying their council tax, they can apply for council tax benefit.

From April 2013 the Government is abolishing the current national Council Tax Benefit (CTB) scheme and all councils have to replace it with their own local scheme called Council Tax Support (CTS).

The government will provide funding for this scheme less 10% of the current cost. Current indications are that this will reduce funding by approximately £1 million in Hammersmith and Fulham.

Hammersmith and Fulham’s Proposals

The Council has the option of reducing the Council Tax Support it offers to some claimants or it can decide to absorb the cost itself. The Council is proposing to absorb the cost of the changes and implement a scheme that ensures nobody is worse off.

The Council is consulting with residents from 16 August 2012 to 15 October 2012 to find out their views to this approach.

A final decision, based on the responses to the consultation, will be made by the council’s cabinet on 14 January 2013 and the scheme will be adopted on 1 April 2013.

A broad outline of the draft scheme is available on our website.

Visit www.lbhf.gov.uk/counciltaxsupportscheme

We are proposing that the scheme will run on the same lines as the current council tax benefit scheme so for full details of the scheme, please see the current regulations at:

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2006/215/contents/made

Who will be affected

The government have prescribed that within our scheme, we must ensure that no pensioner is worse off.

This means, that if we were to pass the cost on to those currently claiming council tax benefit, we would need to collect the additional debt from working age claimants only.

Within Hammersmith and Fulham, there are approximately 5,500 claimants of pension age. This means that the remaining 14,500 claimants would have to absorb the cost – which would mean these low income households have an additional bill of about £110.00 per year.

It is the council’s view that it will be too problematic recovering this debt and it is for this reason that it is proposing not to pass this burden on to this section of the community.

Therefore, no claimants are affected if the council takes the approach it is proposing.

Edward Woods Community Centre Consultation

cit@lbhf.gov.uk (Adult Social Care) — Thu, 23 May 2013 00:00:21 +0100

[Closed on 22 May 2013]

Like councils across the country, Hammersmith & Fulham Council is working hard in this tough financial climate to safeguard our limited budget. We therefore have to look closely at all council buildings and investigate any that are not cost-effective and poor value-for-money. The Edward Woods Community Centre is a great asset to the community and we have been looking at ways to make it more sustainable. In the past the centre has heavily relied on short term and occasional bookings and we wanted to find a way to generate a more reliable and regular income.

A proposed solution is to maximise on the office space, finding a compatible organisation who would be interested in taking a long lease for office space, whilst allowing the activity space to remain available to the local community.

Hammersmith and Fulham Action on Disability (HAFAD) need re-housing and would be interested in relocating to the community centre on this basis. HAFAD delivers a range of services to disabled people including 1-2-1 advice, support services and group activities. HAFAD is keen to work with the local community to develop new opportunities and services. More information about HAFAD can be found on their website: www.hafad.org.uk

For the building to be able to accommodate HAFAD and still meet the needs of the community, there will need to be some structural changes made to the community centre. The main hall, café, crèche, outside space and multi-purpose activity rooms will remain, although some may move location, and they will continue to be hired on the same basis as before. The majority of the work is to make the most of previously under-used storage and office space, to make necessary repairs, improve accessibility and, it is hoped, to make the café area more viable. Proposed plans are available on request or can be viewed at an open day at Edward Woods Community Centre on Tuesday 21st May 4 - 6pm, when you can also meet with HAFAD, architects and council officers to ask any questions.

If approved, building works would be proposed to take place after April 2014 to be completed by autumn 2014. It is planned for the community centre to remain open and for there to be as little disruption as possible.

We are therefore seeking views, particularly from community centre hirers, users, local residents and stakeholders on the proposed changes to the Edward Woods Community Centre. We look forward to hearing from you.

Housing Strategy Consultations - Short Version

lbhf.gov.uk@citizenspace.com (Finance and Corporate Services) — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:55:08 +0000

[Closed on 26 July 2012]

Thank you for coming to the short version of the Housing Strategy Consultations. If you would like to comment on the full version please click here: Housing Strategy Consultations (Full)

The full Housing Strategy Documents can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.

Introduction from Councillor Andrew Johnson, Cabinet Member for Housing, London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham.

We are seeking your views on fundamental changes proposed by Hammersmith & Fulham Council to its approach to affordable housing. Chief amongst these are changes to the way we prioritise affordable housing for prospective new tenants and introducing fixed term tenancies.

Our over-arching approach is set out in the Draft Housing Strategy. This short document sets out in straightforward terms what the Council is seeking to achieve and why. Our three objectives are to:

Deliver major economic and housing growth
Tackle economic and social polarisation
Manage a better, streamlined council housing service

Crosscutting each of these objectives is our continuing commitment to Building a Housing Ladder of Opportunity, with affordable home ownership at its centre. Our:

Draft Housing Allocation Scheme sets out our proposals to give higher housing priority to working households and high priority for applicants with a five year local connection

Draft Tenancy Strategy sets out our commitment to fixed term tenancies, with older people and people with special housing and/or health needs still being eligible for secure tenancies

Draft Homelessness Strategy sets out our continuing commitment to meeting our statutory obligations through accommodation available both in the borough and outside it. For existing Council tenants, apart from our commitment to improving the services they receive, very little will change in respect of their existing tenancy rights.

Your comments will help the council to shape plans for the way that it manages its housing approach and its own limited housing stock over the coming years. The new proposals areaimed at rewarding hard working residents with a long local connection to the borough, who make a positive contribution to the community.

This council wants to give people a ‘hand up and not a hand out’.The council fundamentally believes that social housing should be platform for aspiration which enables progression into other forms of housing, such as low cost home ownership, rather than destination in its own right.

Residents and other interested parties may question why we are proposing such radical changes in what are economically challenging times. Our response is a simple one: if we are serious about building strong, mixed and sustainable communities that help drive economic growth and community cohesion, we need to be radical in our approach. This approach includes giving greater priority to people seeking for affordable housing who are contributing to the economy and the wider community.

This consultation is split into four distinct sections so that you can comment on each of the major facets that make up the proposed new approach.

I would like to thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this consultation. Your comments are invaluable as we work to adopt a new regime that is truly responsive to the needs of the borough’s current and future residents.

Yours faithfully,

Cllr Andrew Johnson,

Cabinet Member for Housing
Hammersmith & Fulham Council

Statement of Gambling Policy Review 2012 - Consultation

The Gambling Act 2005 requires a licensing authority to review and re-publish its gambling policy every three years. As part of this process we are consulting local residents and other stakeholders.

It is felt that although our policy has worked well over the last 3 years there are elements of it which could be improved and / or refined.

We value your views and would therefore be grateful if you could use the questionnaire below to feed them back to us. We ask when making comments that you specifically refer to the paragraph numbers in our policy so that we can easily identify what aspect of the policy your comments relate to.

Many of the questions concern suggested amendments to the policy (attached below) which have been highlighted in red. For this reason you may find it beneficial to have the revised policy open at the same you are working through the questionnaire.

There is a general comments section at the end of the questionnaire if you wish to make other non specific comments on the policy.

In order to be considered all comments must be received by:

5 pm on the 23^th July 2012

[Closed on 11 June 2012]

Statement of Licensing Policy Review 2012 - Consultation

The Licensing Act 2003 requires the Licensing Authority to publish a statement of licensing policy. This policy should be used as a guide in decison making with regard to licensing matters.

Recent changes to the Licensing Act 2003, which came into effect at the end of April 2012, have meant that the Council's current statement of licensing policy is factually incorrect in a number of areas.

In light of these changes the entire policy has now been reviewed and updated. Any changes made to the policy are purely technical rather than changes to the principles of the policy.

An amended version of the policy is attached below. Any additions to the wording of the policy have been highlighted in red and any areas which are to be deleted have been shown as crossed through.

A shorter, three week consultation, has been proposed for these amendments due to the need to update the policy as quickly as possible.

We value your views and would therefore be grateful if you could use the comments box on the next page to let us know what your thoughts are on the changes.

In order to be considered all comments must be received by:

5 pm on the 11^th June 2012

The purpose of this consultation is to obtain first hand suggestions and recommendations from residents on what elements of their neighbourhoods require improvements.

Fulham Road / Wansdown Place – Pedestrian Crossing Facilities

clayton.wong@lbhf.gov.uk (Transport and Technical Services) — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 00:00:07 +0000

[Closed on 10 December 2012]

Dear Sir / Madam,

In 2010 Transport for London (TfL) have reviewed all 6000 traffic signal installations in London and have identified four sites within the Borough that they considered can be removed. The Puffin crossing at Wansdown Place is one of the four sites identified and last year we carried out a similar consultation which resulted in the removal of a pelican crossing in Shepherd’s Bush area.

The plan attached shows this crossing and its close proximity to the Puffin crossing outside Fulham Broadway.

Our surveys show that, the crossing outside Fulham Broadway shopping centre is used more and has a better safety record than the crossing at Wansdown Place. It would seem that the crossing could be removed without causing inconvenience to pedestrian movement over Fulham Road.

I would like to hear your opinion on the proposal to remove the pelican crossing at Wansdown Place. We believe the benefits of this proposal are;

• A simplified road layout and increased driver compliance.
• A reduction in annual operational and maintenance costs.
• Less static queuing traffic on Fulham Road resulting in better air quality through reduced CO2 and other emissions.
• A reduction on street clutter providing an improved walking environment.

This opportunity to review the removal of crossing facilities has arisen from TfL. The cost of any amendments to the crossings, regardless of the results of this consultation, shall be subsequent from TfL budgets.

Earls Court & West Kensington Local Lettings Plan

michael.gallagher@lbhf.gov.uk (Finance and Corporate Services) — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 00:00:30 +0100

[Closed on 11 April 2013]

This consultation exercise is seeking your views on the Draft Earls Court and West Kensington Local Lettings Plan. We have sent you a paper copy of this document in the post. You can also open a copy of the document on this webpage. When completing your responses to the questions that we ask, we suggest that you have a copy of the document to hand to refer to.

There has been considerable discussion and debate about the decision to include the West Kensington and Gibbs Green Estates in the wider Earls Court and West Kensington regeneration scheme. As you will know, the decision has now been made to include the estates in the scheme and the Council has signed the Conditional Land Sale Agreement with the developer. This will involve the eventual sale of the land on which the estates are built to Capital Counties – in order to facilitate the regeneration of the area. The Council will need to achieve ‘vacant possession’ of the estates on a phased basis. This means you will need to move home. It is our intention that you have to move home only once. The Local Lettings Plan Consultation Draft sets out how the Council intends to rehouse all eligible tenants.

For most eligible tenants, your new home will be on Seagrave Road or on the Earls Court and West Kensington development itself. The first new replacement homes will be provided on the Seagrave Road site. The developer has planning permission to build 808 homes on this site, 200 of which will be replacement homes for eligible residents. A number of eligible tenants may wish to have an alternative housing option and we will work with them where possible to achieve a satisfactory outcome.

The first 150 of these homes on Seagrave Road are expected to be ready for occupation in 2015/16. This will enable the start of the first phase of the final Local Lettings Plan. Please note, that no decision has been made on who will be allocated homes at Seagrave Road.

Once Seagrave Road is complete and residents have been rehoused to this phase, the next phase will follow. The re-housing of the estate will be carried out in stages (phases). There are no set timescales for the development process, but it is anticipated that the phasing will happen over a 10-20year period.

The questions in this survey follow the section numbering in the Local Lettings Plan document. This Local Lettings Plan consultation draft centres on how we intend to help you move home.

Some sections of the document set out the background of the scheme, for example, Section 1. ‘Summary’; Section 2 ‘Background’; and Section 3 ‘Vision’. Section 4 ‘Key Commitments’ repeats the commitments we have already given to tenants. We have not asked questions about these sections but if you have any points you wish to raise, please do so.

We have focused our questions on what, we believe to be, the key issues for tenants that is, Sections 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 & 15 of the document which deal with, the phasing and reprovision of homes and general rules and conditions.

Parking Consultation - Controlled Parking Zones B & C

parkingpolicies@lbhf.gov.uk (Transport and Technical Services) — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 00:00:29 +0000

[Closed on 24 February 2012]

This consultation is intended to allow residents and businesses of Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs) B and C the opportunity to opt for the same controls that are currently operating in Zone CC.

The Council has received representations from residents of CPZs B and C requesting that their current controls of Monday – Friday, 9am - 6pm, be extended to be the same as the controls that exist in the adjoining Zone CC. This is in order to alleviate the perceived Westfield related parking stress in CPZs B and C.

Following the Western Extension of the Congestion Charge zone in 2007 and the opening of Westfield Shopping Centre in 2008, CPZ CC was introduced immediately adjacent to Shepherd’s Bush Green on its South side. Zone CC has parking controls of Monday - Sunday, 9am to 8pm, with a 2 hour maximum stay period for Pay & Display visitors. Residents' visitors can park free of charge on Sundays by activating the Smart Visitor Permit.

The Council therefore wants to hear from you as to your preferences by Friday 24 February 2012.

A map of the boroughs Controlled Parking Zones (including Zones B, C and CC) along with details of parking controls is provided here:

Borough CPZ map

Advantage of the proposed changes

Helps to discourage Westfield shoppers from parking in local streets, which means more spaces are available for permit holders and their visitors (who can park for longer than the 2 hours maximum stay with the SMART Visitor Permit).

Disadvantage of the proposed changes

Residents’ visitors will have to pay to park for longer periods.

Could you be a Resident Reviewer?

Gary.Wilson@rbkc.gov.uk (Finance and Corporate Services) — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:55:10 +0000

[Closed on 12 October 2012]

The Council is on the lookout for residents who are interested in becoming mystery shoppers ("Resident Reviewers"). Residents will be rewarded with up to £40 of high street gift vouchers for taking part in each mystery shopping exercise.

Feedback from residents is vital in helping the council improve its services. The council already conducts an annual satisfaction survey (see the link below) as well as specific consultations on services and policies.

Mystery shoppers will look at services from the unique perspective of the customer and will help build a detailed understanding of what works, what can be improved and what needs to change in order to best meet residents' needs.

Mystery shopping exercises involve people giving their feedback on a particular service or facility. This may include:

Visiting the Council’s libraries, parks or reception points
Telephoning the parking department
Assessing standards of street cleanliness

In order to be a Resident Reviewer you must live in H&F and be able to take part in various scripted interactions with council services in person, by telephone, or occasionally by email.

Resident feedback will be used and reported anonymously by the council but from time to time we may invite residents to come together as a group to discuss their experience of services.

If this interests you, please see the attached frequently asked questions sheet and complete the online application below by 12 October 2012. We will contact you to explain what will happen next.

chris.welsh@lbhf.gov.uk (Environment, Leisure and Resident Services) — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:55:06 +0000

[Results expected 17 November 2012]

We are seeking your views about how to improve Wormholt Park. The council, along with the local community group, the Friends of Wormholt Park, are working on plans to regenerate this park and have started to produce initial ideas.

The park has over the years fallen into a state of disrepair. With so many areas of the park needing considerable investment, a design for the whole park is now required.

The aim of this stage of the refurbishment of the park is to decide a design that all users have contributed to.

It is hoped that construction works will begin in 2014.

Introduction from Councillor Andrew Johnson, Cabinet Member for Housing, London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham.

Deliver major economic and housing growth
Tackle economic and social polarisation
Manage a better, streamlined council housing service

Crosscutting each of these objectives is our continuing commitment to Building a Housing Ladder of Opportunity, with affordable home ownership at its centre. Our:

Draft Housing Allocation Scheme sets out our proposals to give higher housing priority to working households and high priority for applicants with a five year local connection

Draft Tenancy Strategy sets out our commitment to fixed term tenancies, with older people and people with special housing and/or health needs still being eligible for secure tenancies

This consultation is split into four distinct sections so that you can comment on each of the major facets that make up the proposed new approach.

Yours faithfully,

Cllr Andrew Johnson,

Cabinet Member for Housing
Hammersmith & Fulham Council

Ravenscourt Gardens 20mph limit

clayton.wong@lbhf.gov.uk (Transport and Technical Services) — Sun, 26 May 2013 00:00:25 +0100

[Closed on 25 May 2013]

The Council is planning to carry out transport and streetscape improvements in the Ravenscourt Gardens with the main focus being the introduction of a 20mph speed limit in the area. The Ravenscourt Gardens Resident Association has previously raised concerns about speeding traffic but wanted minimal traffic calming features.

The proposal is for a 20mph limit which will cover the entire Ravenscourt Gardens and Ravenscourt Park starting north of Hamlet Gardens. Please see the attached map for the extent of the proposed 20mph speed limit.

The difference between a 20mph limit and a 20mph zone is that a 20 mph zone requires traffic calming devices to legally support it whereas a 20 mph speed limit is an area where the 20 mph limit is supported solely by signage.

Other transport and streetscape improvements proposed in Ravenscourt Gardens include:

Accessibility improvements, including de-cluttering by replacing the existing guard railing opposite Ravenscourt Square with new Streetsmart "Hammersmith" bollards. Additional bollards will be installed at areas where pavements have been damaged by vehicles mounting the footway. As highlighted in the attached plan, other areas of footway, drop kerbs and crossovers will be improved.

Vehicles activated signs (Speed Indicator Displays) are to be installed for a 6 months period at two locations indicated on the attached plan - one for eastbound traffic and one for westbound traffic.
