The Foredyke Area Committee was scheduled to consider a range of updates and proposals, including community safety, fire service activities, and the delivery of the Foredyke Area Plan. The committee was also scheduled to discuss potential disposals of historic garden extension leases and updates to traffic regulation order procedures.

Community Safety Update

The committee was scheduled to receive a verbal update on policing and public protection activities within the Foredyke Area. This update was to be provided by the local Inspector from Humberside Police, covering current and outstanding issues. Ward priorities were to be monitored by Area and Neighbourhood Tasking groups, with Neighbourhood Co-ordinators providing updates to Ward Councillors.

Humberside Fire and Rescue Service Update

A verbal update on the activities of Humberside Fire and Rescue Service within the Foredyke Area was scheduled to be presented. The Community Safety Supervisor from the service was expected to provide information on current and outstanding issues. It was proposed that the Community Safety Supervisor would provide quarterly updates for future Area Committee meetings. The report highlighted that North Carr Ward was an area of significant concern, accounting for approximately 30% of all incidents in the committee area, with a substantial increase in deliberate fires involving grassland, refuse, wheelie bins, and vehicles compared to the previous year.

Foredyke Area Plan Delivery – AMBITION 2

The committee was scheduled to discuss Ambition 2 of the Foredyke Area Plan, which focuses on ensuring local residents feel safe in their neighbourhoods and that all agencies work together to reduce crime levels and increase confidence in reporting. The three priorities for this ambition were: identifying hot spot areas and collaborating to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour; working with partners and victims to improve support for domestic abuse; and ensuring the area has accessible, safe, green, and open spaces. Actions agreed at a previous informal meeting included providing details on noise complaint costs, e-bike nuisance reports, and forwarding data and reports to ward councillors.

Foredyke Area Action Delivery Plan

An update on the development of the Foredyke Area Action Delivery Plan was scheduled to be presented. The plan outlines agreed objectives against Ambition 1 (better education and employment opportunities), Ambition 2 (residents feeling safe and reduced crime), and Ambition 3 (improved health and reduced isolation). The plan details objectives, responsible officers, and delivery timelines for various targets, including working with training providers, identifying hot spot areas for anti-social behaviour, and improving support for domestic abuse victims.

Potential Disposal of Six Historic Garden Extension Leases

The committee was scheduled to seek approval from the Trustees of Barbara Robson Playing Fields for a framework to manage the future assignment, renewal, and potential disposal of six historic garden extension leases. These leases were granted over trust land to adjoining residential properties. The report indicated that requests for lease renewals or acquisitions had arisen due to difficulties homeowners faced when selling properties, stemming from title restrictions and diminishing lease terms. The report recommended approving in principle the assignment, renewal, and disposal of the freehold interest in these leased areas, subject to various approvals and consultations.

Objections to Traffic Regulation Orders

The committee was scheduled to consider updating the arrangements for determining objections to Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs). This was in response to the introduction of the Council's six Area Committee structure. It was proposed that for TROs affecting no more than two wards, authority to determine objections would be delegated to the Assistant Director, Major Projects and Infrastructure, in consultation with the relevant Community Manager and Ward Members. This change was intended to ensure a more timely and efficient decision-making process for localised TRO matters.

Housing Performance Update to the end of September 2026

A briefing paper was scheduled to provide members with an update on the Housing team's performance up to the end of September 2026. The update was to include performance across a range of indicators, such as tenant satisfaction, safety compliance, responsive repairs, and income management. The report indicated that Foredyke's overall tenant satisfaction was 66.18%, below the citywide average of 69.39% and the median benchmark of 68.50%.

Community Highstreets Barrow Beat

The committee was scheduled to receive an update on the development of a barrow beat-style cleansing approach. This initiative was designed to respond to engagement outcomes and address community priorities around cleansing, litter, and graffiti in Community Highstreet priority areas. The approach was based on lessons learned from the Stepney High Street Accelerator Pilot Programme, which introduced a dedicated streetcare operative. The proposal included reallocating budget to establish this approach for 12 months, with costs split across 14 identified sites.

Housing Growth and Regeneration Update

A briefing paper was scheduled to provide an update on regeneration and new-build housing opportunities within the North East area. This included information on the Council's Housing Growth Plan, which aims to deliver 840 new Council Homes by 2031, and the Housing Growth Procurement Strategy. The update was to cover progress on lead developer partnerships, the small sites programme, acquisition opportunities, and specialist pilot schemes. Specific sites within the Foredyke Area, such as Wawne View and Snowden Way, were to be discussed.

Foredyke Ward Budgets

The committee was scheduled to be advised of the 2026-27 budget position for the Foredyke Area, including Ward Budgets and available section 106 and Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) monies for each ward. The report detailed the revenue and capital budget allocations for Kingswood, North Carr, Sutton, and West Carr wards, along with summaries of available section 106 and CIL sums. These funds were intended to support local schemes for the betterment of communities, aligning with the Community Plan and Area/Ward Plans.

Barbara Robson Playing Fields

A report was scheduled to provide a financial update on Barbara Robson Playing Fields. The committee, acting as Trustees, was to be presented with the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2026. The report indicated that there was no income or expenditure, with the land value held on the balance sheet. The Council, as trustee, was required to produce financial accounts and submit annual returns to comply with Charity Law.

Resolution List

The committee was scheduled to receive an update on the progress of outstanding resolutions from previous meetings. The Resolution List, categorised by status (Red for pending action, Amber for ongoing/outstanding, and Green for complete/proposed for completion), was to inform members of the progress on various actions.

Work Programme

An update on the Foredyke Committee's Work Programme was scheduled to be presented. This item was to provide members with information on future agenda items and offer an opportunity to suggest new topics for discussion. The programme included regular updates on the Foredyke Area Plan Delivery, Community Safety, Housing Revenue Account budgets, Ward Budgets, and the Barbara Robson Playing Fields. The March meeting was themed around Ambition 3 – Health, focusing on smoking cessation, drug and alcohol treatment, and reducing isolation and obesity.
