Minutes RESIDENTS' SERVICES SELECT COMMITTEE 6 November 2025 Meeting held at Committee Members Present: Councillors Wayne Bridges (Chair), Kishan Bhatt, Darran Davies, Ekta Gohil, Scott Farley, Kamal Preet Kaur (Opposition Lead) and Elizabeth Garelick Officers Present: Steve Austin (Traffic, Parking, Road Safety and School Travel Team Manager) Daniel Ferrer (Licensing Team Manager) Andy Goodwin (Head of Strategic Finance) Julia Johnson (Director of Planning and Strategic Growth) Ian Kavanagh (Head of Business Intelligence) Dan Kennedy (Corporate Director of Residents Services) Freddie Mohammed (Parking Representations and Appeals Manager) Bernard Ofori-Atta (Head of Finance - Residents' Services) Liz Penny (Democratic Services Officer) Jas Rattu (Parking Infrastructure Manager) Andrew Tebbutt (Planning Obligations Team Leader) Richard Webb (Director of Community Safety & Enforcement) 112. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE (Agenda Item 1) Apologies were received from Councillor Peter Smallwood with Councillor Kishan Bhatt substituting. 113. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST IN MATTERS COMING BEFORE THIS MEETING (Agenda Item 2) There were no declarations of interest. 114. TO RECEIVE THE MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING (Agenda Item 3) RESOLVED: That the minutes of the meeting dated 9 September 2025 be agreed as an accurate record. 115. TO CONFIRM THAT THE ITEMS OF BUSINESS MARKED AS PART I WILL BE CONSIDERED IN PUBLIC AND THOSE MARKED PART II WILL BE CONSIDERED IN PRIVATE (Agenda Item 4) It was confirmed that all items of business were marked Part I and would be considered in public. 116. BUDGET AND SPENDING REPORT (Agenda Item 5) Dan Kennedy, Corporate Director of Residents’ Services, presented the Month 5 budget monitoring report, noting that the information had been drawn from the Cabinet report which was already in the public domain. It was stated that the Residents’ Services Directorate showed an £8.8 million overspend at Month 5, primarily due to temporary accommodation pressures amounting to £6.5 million. Additional pressures included underachievement of income from p arking charges and the green waste subscription service, where the £2.5 million target was forecasted to achieve £1.6 million. The Housing Revenue Account was reported as breaking even. Councillors queried the underperformance of parking income and whether this could be attributed to post -pandemic behavioural changes or pricing issues, as well as the availability of data to distinguish the causes. It was confirmed that significant work had been undertaken to strengthen data analysis, including detailed mo nitoring of car park payment machine usage. While charges were considered competitive compared to other boroughs, it was noted that it remained too early to confirm the reasons. Patterns of usage were being examined to inform proposals for the forthcoming budget. Councillors enquired whether forecasts had accounted for potential income tax increases referenced in national budget speculation. Officers confirmed that predicting the effect on residents’ spending patterns —and consequently on Council income streams—was challenging. However, cost -of-living and wider socioeconomic impacts were being considered as part of the budget build for Cabinet consultation in December. Councillors questioned why the purchase of 400 houses had not reduced temporary accommodation figures and whether this was linked to arrivals from the Chagos Islands. It was explained that demand had risen sharply, with 40 households presenting as UK nationals in one month, equating to over 150 individuals requiring support. Leased properties intended to reduce costs had either been delayed or offered at unaffordable prices, limiting supply. Negotiations continued, but these properties had been removed from forecasts until viable agreements were secured. Members asked why the Council was not g enerating income from commercial trade waste when private companies were profiting. It was reported that competitors undercut Council prices and exploited published fees by offering special deals. A more agile pricing strategy was under review to ensure co mpetitiveness. It was confirmed that commercial trade waste did generate income for the Council; however, the income was falling short of the target. Councillors sought clarification on whether the report covered data up to September and raised concerns a bout unclear language in reports, noting previous commitments to improve transparency. Officers confirmed that the report covered August and welcomed feedback to enhance clarity in future reports. Councillors queried why Table 1 appeared to add costs unde r “management action.” It was explained that managers reviewed budgets at their level, with subsequent adjustments made by senior officers based on add itional information. These adjustments were aggregated, and detailed breakdowns could be provided if required. The Select Committee questioned the £7.3 million overspend in planning, housing and growth, noting that Heathrow -related pressures could not account for the full variance. Officers responded that arrivals through Heathrow had spiked significantly si nce July 2024. UK nationals arriving without meeting habitual residency requirements required extended support, creating substantial costs. Government funding covered only the first ten days, leaving the Council to fund accommodation and essentials for weeks. In response to questions about unchanged figures between February and March despite reported spikes, it was explained that the data represented net positions, which varied monthly depending on admissions, departures, and alternative housing solutions. Councillors asked about contingency plans if providers exited the market following the introduction of price caps on nightly placements. Officers rep orted successful implementation of the cap by August, with most providers agreeing to reduced rates. It was noted that a few had withdrawn, but others had filled the gap. Negotiations continued to ensure security and quality for both parties. Members sought clarification on the use of £1 million of capital receipts for transformation activity. It was confirmed that capital receipts from asset disposals could be used under government regulations to fund transformation projects that generated savings. Officers explained that the Council drew from a reserve built up over years, rather than linking specific disposals to individual projects. On the subject of trade waste, the Select Committee asked whether the Council was obliged to provide the service and whether it represented value for money. It was clarified that the service generated £1.3 million in 2024/25 a nd remained profitable, though targets were under pressure. Operating costs were marginal, making the service financially beneficial. Councillors aske d about collaborations to reduce housing costs. Officers described lobbying efforts for fair government f unding and collaborative procurement schemes across London to standardise rates and prevent boroughs from competing and inflating prices. Members were informed that the strategy agreed in February had achieved reductions in new placements, averaging 55 pe r month compared to 62 last year, against a target of 50. Progress had been made on increasing private rented sector properties and implementing rate caps. Challenges remained due to persistent demand and difficulties securing affordable leased accommodation. Councillors queried the £0.8 million shortfall in green waste subscription income and whether consultation results had predicted this. It was explained that setting accurate targets for new initiatives was challenging. Benchmarking had been used, and achieving £1.6 million income partway through the year was considered a success. The scheme would remain under review. Members expressed concern that savings appeared to result from vacancies or reduced operational activities such as repairs and caretakin g. In response it was confirmed that vacancy details could be provided, and that underspends in repairs reflected reduced need due to investment in property improvements, such as boiler replacements. It was highlighted that v acancies were managed carefully , with temporary redeployment used to address short-term demand spikes. RESOLVED: That the Select Committee noted the 2025/26 Month 5 budget monitoring position. 117. ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT (Agenda Item 6) Ian Kavanagh, Head of Busin ess Intelligence, and Julia Johnson, Director of Planning and Sustainable Growth, were in attendance to respond to Members’ questions and requests for clarification in relation to the information in the report included in the agenda pack. A question was a sked by the Committee about whether the figure of 245 new Council properties represented a net figure after accounting for Right to Buy losses. It was clarified that the figure referred to gross new acquisitions. It was noted that a significant spike in Ri ght to Buy applications had occurred when discounts were reduced, similar to trends experienced by other local authorities. It was explained that it was difficult to determine how many applications would ultimately convert. Concerns were raised by Members about underreporting of fly-tipping incidents and the inability of operatives to record data effectively. A query was made regarding measures to captu re accurate data. In response, it was confirmed that reporting had been promoted through communication ch annels, including social media and newsletters. Officers acknowledged increasing pressure from fly -tipping and outlined actions such as responsive collection services, bulky waste collection, and targeted engagement in hotspot areas. It was emphasised that outreach to residents in flats and provision of accessible disposal sites were part of a blended approach. Further concerns were expressed about recu rring fly-tipping despite action days and about contamination of recycling leading to waste being dispose d of as general refuse. A question was also raised by Councillors regarding the proportion of contaminated recycling within household waste. It was stated that figures would need to be obtained and reported back to the Committee. The Committee enquired ab out audits of resident services datasets, error rates, and remediation plans. Officers explained that specific figures were not available at the meeting, but data quality reporting and processes such as standardisation and normalisation were in place to improve accuracy. Members raised queries regarding the decline in service requests and whether this reflected positive outcomes, as feedback from residents suggested otherwise. It was reported that new sweepers had been introduced to address weed control an d detritus quickly, and positive feedback had been received regarding their deployment. Clarification was sought on the meaning of “refreshing” the lo cal plan and justification for associated costs. It was explained that a statutory review was required ev ery five years, and a full review had commenced. The process involved consultations, evidence gathering, housing need assessments, employment land analysis, site identification, and a green belt review, which accounted for the budget allocation. With regard to the increase in ASB reports, Councillors enquired whether this reflected improved reporting or worsening conditions. It was confirmed that growth was largely due to easier reporting via online tools. It was noted that ASB encompassed a broad range of issues, and approximately half of reported cases were actionable. Further queries were raised by the Committee in relation to engagement with housing associations. It was explained that liaison occurred on a case -by-case basis, with social landlords expected to take the lead in resolving issues. Members sought further clarification regarding IT system readiness for integration and how residents would access information. It was stated that existing systems captured most required data, and no major issues were anticipated. Future changes would depend on finalised metrics. It was confirmed that data would be made freely available and efforts would be made to present information transparently. Councillors queried whether businesses attending the Hillingdon T ake Off conference had been consulted on regeneration plans. It was reported that an investor conference had been held, and programmes funded through t he UK Shared Prosperity Fund had supported local business engagement. Initiatives included town centre pr ojects, an innovation hub, and development of an economic growth plan. Further questions were raised about collaboration with Heathrow. It was confirmed that a roundtable summit had been organised to align resources with local priorities. Members queried how Hillingdon’s recycling rates compared to London averages and strategies for improvement. It was reported that recycling rates had continued to increase, supported by initiatives such as food waste segregation and campaigns to reduce household waste. With regards to fly tipping, a query was raised about plans to enhance enforcement through CCTV and AI. It was confirmed that mobile cameras were deployed in hotspots, but identification challenges remained. It was assured that robust evidence was pursued and enforcement action taken where possible. A question was asked by the Select Committee Members about the cost -benefit analysis of opting for cleani ng services to reduce contamination. It was agreed that further information on contamination rates and mi tigation measures would be provided to the Committee. In response to Members concerns regarding the difficulty for residents to report waste - related ASB accurately , i t was confirmed that a new reporting system with photo upload, geolocation, and AI classi fication was being introduced to improve analytics and ease of reporting. RESOLVED: That the Select Committee: 1. Noted the Annual Performance Report fo r 2024/25, as attached in Appendix 1; and 2. Noted that the report w ould be presented to full Council in No vember alongside the Annual Performance Report. 118. REVIEW OF FOOTWAY PARKING IN PRIORITY AREAS (PHASE 1): WITNESS SESSION 1 (Agenda Item 7) Richard Webb (Director of Community Safety and Enforcement), Steve Austin (Traffic, Parking, Ro ad Safety and School Travel Team Manager), Freddie Mohammed (Parking Representations and Appeals Manager) and Jas Rattu (Parking Infrastructure Manager) were in attendance to present the report and respond to Members’ questions and requests for clarification. The Traffic, Parking, Road Safety and School Travel Team Manager thanked Members for the list of roads identified for phase one review and explained that officers had undertaken initial observations: For Botwell Common Road, Hayes, Members heard tha t most issues appeared to be between Botwell Lane and Badgers Close, where the majority of footway parking occurred. Officers had also observed some fo otway parking in other parts of the road but noted that the lay -bys along Botwell Common Road were genera lly full and were not managed through a permit system. In respect of Clifton Gardens, Hillingdon, it was explained that the road contained numerous dropped kerbs, and from observations, residents tended to park across their own dropped kerbs during the evening due to limited space between them. The Traffic, Parking, Road Safety and School Travel Team Manager noted that formalising a scheme in this road would remove this option and severely reduce capacity, estimating that only six to ten spaces might remain if a footway parking scheme were introduced. Regarding Windsor Avenue, Hillingdon, the Traffic, Parking, Road Safety and School Travel Team Manager referred to a previous consultation, noting that the response rate had been 31%, with 30% of respondents supporting a formalised footway parking scheme and 70% opposing it. He suggested that unless attitudes had changed significantly, similar results would likely be obtained again. For Ryefield Avenue, Hillingdon, Members were informed that, while it might be possible to formalise footway parking near Long Lane, the complexity increased further along the road due to numerous dropped kerbs and the presence of a shopping parade where parking was already managed. Members were informed that Colham Green Road, Brunel, could be removed from the list of roads as controlled parking had been implemented along its length, eliminating footway parking issues. Simil arly, Windsor Close in Northwood had a successful parking management scheme in place, and residents were encouraging the Council to extend its operating times. With regards to Wood End Green Road, Hayes, it was explained that there were significant lengths of single and double yellow lines. The Officer noted that many issues related to illegal parking on foo tways and grass verges behind these lines, which was not permitted, and suggested that some residents knowingly parked unlawfully. Finally, the Traffic, Parking, Road Safety and School Travel Team Manager addressed North Road, West Drayton, stating that officers had developed a parking management scheme for the northern section between Porters Way and Thornton Avenue following a petition from residents. This scheme was ready for implementation once funding was identified. However, south of Thornton Avenue, residents were strongly opposed to any formalisation of parking, whether on the footway or through a management scheme. Members referred to a recen t petition for Clifton Gardens and requested that its progress be monitored. They recalled the Windsor Av enue consultation from approximately ten to twelve years ago, noting that confusion among residents about the difference between formalised parking and permit schemes had likely influenced objections. Councillors suggested reviewing the consultation materi al to ensure clarity that no paid service was proposed. They also queried whether the parking management schemes for Col ham Green Road and Windsor Clos e had been implemented recently. It was confirmed that both had been in place for some years and an amend ed definitive list was included in the agenda. The Committee expressed concern that the previous list had categorised these roads incorrectly, indicating a need for officers to review and update lists regularly. Members suggested that Nine Elms Avenue be considered in place of Col ham Green Road, citing recent pavement resurfacing followed by residents parking on the new surface. The y highlighted that th e last review of Nine Elms Avenue had been in November 1990 and suggested that the Committee consider add ing it to the list. Officers acknowledged the historic nature of the decision and agreed that the matter could be revisited. Councillors raised safety concerns on W ood End Green Road, particularly near the school and allotments, describing dangerous behav iour by parents parking on pavements and even forcing pedestrians to move. The y opposed any formalised footway parking in this area on safety grounds. Officers assured the Select Committee that enforcement applied behind yellow lines and confirmed there wa s no intention to formalise footway parking in hazardous areas. It was explained that some drivers knowingly parked illegally and dangerously, which enforcement teams continued to address. Further questions focused on complaint handling and the Council’s responsiveness. Members asked how many complaints were required before a review was triggered and whether petitions were necessary. The Traffic, Parkin g, Road Safety and School Travel Team Manager clarified that a single complaint would be sufficient if it related to a road safety issue, but wider changes such as introducing formal schemes required evidence of community support to reassure the Cabinet Member. He noted that the Council received between 200 and 250 requests for road safety matters annually, which did not always result in new restrictions but could lead to other measures such as white bar markings across dropped kerbs. The discussion then t urned to suspended enforcement. Councillors asked for clarification of this term and whether vehicles par ked fully on pavements in such roads would receive a penalty. Officers explained that enforcement could be carried out where vehicles were parked outside marked areas or contrary to signage, but informal schemes without signs or lines created exemptions fo r entire roads, making enforcement challenging. In Windsor Avenue, for example, if the location was not exempt, enforcement would apply, but exemptions typically allowed two wheels on the footway. Councillors questioned whether increased enforcement could resolve issues and asked if all calls to the enforcement hotline were logged. Officers confirmed that calls were logged but details of complaints were not routinely recorded, acknowledging a gap in intelligence gathering. They agreed to review processes t o capture more detailed data, including trends in roads where enforcement was limited. Members asked about the impact of changes on bus routes. Office rs confirmed that they held regular liaison meetings with emergency services, bus operators, and Transport for London, and acted promptly when bus routes were affected by parking issues. They cited a recent example on Station Road where temporary measures were introduced to maintain bus flow while legal processes for double yellow lines were completed. Accessibility considerations were raised, with Councillors asking when the Council’s Accessibility Officer would be involved and whether feedback would be r eported to the Committee. Officers agreed to consult the Accessibility Officer and consider site visits where necessary, noting that some roads might not present accessibility issues due to wide footways, but others could require attention. Members suggested that engagement with schools, GP surgeries, and Chambers of Commerce should also be considered, partic ularly for roads near schools such as Windsor Avenue, where Oak Farm School had previously raised concerns about enforcement near zebra crossings. Councillors requested updated ward boundary information to assist with the review. Officers confirmed they w ould work with GIS colleagues to provide this, although it might require manual processes. Officers concluded by reminding members to encourage residents to submit petitions if they wished to see formalised footway parking schemes introduced, whether with permits or without. RESOLVED: That the Residents’ Services Select Committee note d the evidence heard at the witness session and sought clarification as necessary in the context of its review of Footway Parking in Priority Areas. 119. DRAFT COMMUNITY SAFETY STRATEGY (Agenda Item 8) Richard Webb, Director of Community Safety and Enforcement, was in attendance to respond to Members’ questions and requests for clarification in respect of the Draft Community Safety Strategy. Members began b y asking when the Integrated Offender Management (IOM) Coordinator would be appointed and what governance procedures would apply if recruitment were de layed. It was explained that this had been discussed recently and funding for the post was being consider ed. It was confirmed that the role was recognised as essential to enable integrated work with the management board. Probation services were reviewing operational details and practices elsewhere, and a proposal would be brought to the next Safer Hillingdon Partnership meeting alongside other elements of the strategy and delivery plan. The Director of Community Safety and Enforcement noted that funding constraints would limit the ability to deliver some areas, but ambitions were being set where strengthening was required. Councillors then referred to a recent Safer Neighbourhood Team meeting at which suggestions had been made about improving lighting in certain roads and alleyways. They asked whether such measures could be included in the strategy to create s afer spaces. The Director of Community Safety and Enforcement responded that requests for lighting and alleyway improvements were received regularly th rough resident feedback and petitions. However, these were often problematic due to issues such as privacy, light intrusion, and costs associated with maintaining mirrors, which were frequently damaged and required replacement. Barriers to prevent cycling in alleyways could also restrict accessibility. It was explained that the delivery plan included the establishment of the Hillingdon Enforcement Safety Panel, a new group tasked with identifying locations where safety risks existed and improvements could b e made. Resident requests would be referred to this group for consideration. The Officer added that the A nti-Social Behaviour Team currently reviewed such requests, but the new approach would provide a stronger, partnership -based response, although not all requests could be satisfied. The Committee raised a further point regarding green spaces, suggesting th at the possibility of locking them should be reconsidered due to concerns about drug -related issues. The Officer acknowledged this and confirmed that t he matter would be referred back to the Cabinet Member, noting that the decision to unlock green spaces h ad been made earlier in the year for various reasons. Councillors then queried the proposed panels —the Hillingdon Enforcement Safety Panel and the IOM panel —asking what hard targets would apply to each, such as hotspot resolution times, reduction in repea t victimisation, or reoffending rates, and what baseline measures would be used. It was explained that a new performance framework for anti -social beha viour was being developed, partly driven by requirements from the social housing regulator. This framewor k would include indicators such as the speed of risk assessment for cases, satisfaction surveys, and resolution times. It was confirmed that this work was in progress and that the Committee would receive details in the next ASB update, including the indica tors being collected and performance against them, which would represent an improvement on previous arrangements. Regarding the IOM panel, it was stated that targets had not yet been developed because the panel had not commenced, but they would be probatio n- focused and linked to reducing reoffending, which was a statutory duty. The Officer emphasised that success would be measured by the effectiveness of approaches to reducing reoffending. Members referred to recent announcements by the Mayor of London abo ut cutting 1,700 police officer posts and closing front counters across London, leaving only two operating 24 hours a day. They asked what impact these changes might have on the community safety strategy and whether the implications for residents had been considered. In response, it was confirmed that the matter had been discussed at the Safer Hillingdon Partnership. While the changes did not directly affect the strategy, the Partnership aimed to maintain a clear public strategy reflecting resident prioriti es and data. The Officer noted that the police were a key partner and that questions would be asked about the local impact of reductions. Although unab le to speak on behalf of the police, the Director of Community Safety and Enforcement stated that discuss ions indicated efforts were being made to avoid impacts on frontline policing. Any significant changes would be monitored through partnership data and police reports at each meeting to understand practical outcomes. The Select Committee commented on the n eed for clearer performance measures, observing that outputs in the strategy lacked definition and were difficult to measure. Councillors suggested lin king outputs to specific reviews, such as the anti -social behaviour review, to clarify what measurements were being used. In response, it was confirmed that the partnership would have a delivery plan containing specific measures, which would be presented to the Committee as part of six -monthly performance reviews and police updates. These measures would not a ppear in the strategy itself but would be developed and agreed by the partnership and reviewed regularly. Finally, Members asked whether the Anti-Social Behaviour priority in the Strategy could include specific provisions for tower blocks, as these were m ajor locations for such behaviour. They highlighted issues arising when partial closure orders expired, allowing problems to return quickly, and suggested that processes be put in place to enable back-to-back applications for closure orders to prevent recu rrence. Officers agreed that this was an important point and confirmed that tower blocks and similar communal areas would be reflected in the strategy as a particular focus. The Chair concluded by referring members to the recommendation that the Select Committee review the draft community safety strategy and provide comments for consideration before final approval by Cabinet. The Chair proposed liaising with the Labour lead outside the meeting to draft comments through Democratic Services, subject to members’ agreement. RESOLVED: That the Residents’ Services Select Committee: 1. reviewed the draft Community Safety Strategy for the Borough; and 2. delegated the drafting of any comments for the consideration of Cabinet to Democratic Services in conjunction with the Chair and in consultation with the Labour Lead. 120. INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING STATEMENT (Agenda Item 9) Julia Johnson, Director of Planning and Sustainable Growth, and Andrew Tebbutt, Planning Obligations Team Leader, were in attendanc e to respond to Members’ questions and requests for clarification in respect of the Infrastructure Funding Statement. Councillors began by asking whe ther the Council was on target to secure all monies due within the required timeframe, emphasising the im portance of avoiding any lapse and ensuring funds were available when needed. The Director of Planning and Sustainable Growth confirmed that monthly meetings were held with the team to review outstanding payments and that a process was in place with legal services to pursue unpaid monies. It was explained that an annual review was conducted through the starts and completions exercise using Council Tax da ta to identify completed developments, which was then compared against obligations. Monitoring occurred monthly to ensure developers reported commencement and compliance with payment requirements. Members sought reassurance that funds were being spent appropriately and within deadlines to prevent lapses. It was confirmed that a list was maintained for all it ems approaching the 18-month deadline and that a monthly infrastructure meeting reviewed these proactively. It was stated that no funds had lapsed rece ntly, although there had been close cases involving health projects where collaboration with the NHS was required. In some instances, extensions were requested from developers to avoid issues. The Select Committee asked about the proportion of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) receipts transferred to the Greater London Authority or Transport for London, requesting either a percentage or approximate figure. Members also queried whether the Council could retain a greater share locally or whether this was d etermined nationally. It was explained that the Council acted as the charging and collecting authority un der legislation, retaining an administrative fee of 4%, with the remainder remitted to the Mayor for transport infrastructure. The officer undertook to provide precise figures from the report and confirmed that the 4% fee was the maximum permitted under regulations. A further question concerned progress on updating the system for recording Section 106 contributions and expenditure, which had been discu ssed at previous meetings. Councillors asked how far back the review had gone and what remained outstandi ng. It was reported that all current expenditure and receipts were now processed through the system and detailed in the appendix to the Infrastructure Funding Statement. However, historic data was still being migrated from paper files, with progress dependent on team capacity. It was explained that priority was given to securing new monies and spending funds, with backlog reconciliation undertaken as res ources allowed. Most categories had been reconciled, but the system was not yet a single definitive sourc e, as spreadsheets were still used for overall positions. Members expressed disappointment at the lack of significant progress, noting that the Committee had discussed this issue for several years. They stressed the importance of understanding the origin of Section 106 monies, the developments generating them, and the projects funded. Officers responded that the appendix listed receipts and expenditure for the current year, although presented by address rather than scheme. The Committee reiterated that the promised database should enable clear identification of contributions by development and corresponding expenditure. In response it was clarified that data for schemes delivered in the last three to four years could likely be produced, but the statutory re port followed a national standard and did not include that level of detail. Additional data could be provided outside the report if required. Members observed that heavily developed areas did not appear to benefit visibly from CIL or Section 106 expenditu re, leading to perceptions that funds were not reinvested locally. It was explained that CIL spending was determined annually by Cabinet and that the report set out the total receipts and allocations. Officers noted that most CIL expenditure had been direc ted to the West Drayton Leisure Centre and acknowledged the point about demonstrating tangible improvements linked to developments. They agreed to cons ider how presentation could better illustrate the relationship between contributions and local benefits, including whether agreed improvements had been delivered. RESOLVED: That the Residents’ Services Select Committee: 1. Noted the contents of the Infrastructure Funding Statement 2024-2025; and 2. delegated the drafting of any comments for the consideration of Cabinet to Democratic Services in conjunction with the Chair and in consultation with the Labour Lead. 121. STATEMENT OF LICENSING POLICY (Agenda Item 10) Daniel Ferrer, Licensing Team Manager, was in attendance to respond to Members’ questions and requests for clarification in relation to the Statement of Licensing Policy. In response to Members’ requests for an update on the status of the consultation, it was explained that the consultation had closed on Monday after a six -week perio d. Initially, seven comments had been received, but this number had increased to ten. A full report was scheduled to be presented to Cabinet on 18 Dece mber. Among the responses, three had come from responsible authorities: the anti -social behaviour team, t he food health and safety team, and the immigration team. These responses primarily sought clarification on contact details and provided helpful guidance. The remaining seven responses had been submitted through the survey, which had been managed in collaboration with the customer engagement team. It was noted that some comments highlighted unclear information and possible technical issues with accessing details. Resident concerns largely focused on enforcement, echoing themes previously discussed in the Licensing Committee. It was confirmed that the enforcement section of the licensing policy had remained unchanged, as had the provisions on processing and fees. Proactive and risk -weighted inspections continued to be carried out, and complaints or referrals from responsible authorities were addressed promptly. The Committee commended the quality of the report, acknowledging the effort invested and praisin g the inclusion of modern clauses such as the “Ask Angela” initiative. Councillors also welcomed the inco rporation of the agent of change principle, explaining that developers, rather than long -standing pubs, should bear responsibility for soundproofing when new developments were built nearby. The Licensing Team Manager expressed appreciation for these commen ts and explained that the licensing taskforce, established by the government, had encouraged modernisation. Members were informed confirmed that both t he Ask Angela initiative and the agent of change principle were specifically mentioned in national recomm endations, and the Council aimed to remain aligned with best practice and other boroughs undertaking similar reviews. Councillors enquired how the level of response compared to previous consultations. It was stated that engagement appeared slightly better than before, noting that earlier consultations had sometimes attracted only two comments from responsible authorities. The Licensing Team Manager cred ited improvements to the involvement of the customer engagement and web teams, which had enhanced accessi bility and produced charts for inclusion as annexes in the Cabinet report. He emphasised a desire for greater engagement and reiterated that all comments were valued and would inform changes to the licensing policy where appropriate. Councillors observed that efforts to promote the consultation had been visible on social media and queried whether similar promotion had occurred elsewhere. It was confirmed that outreach had extended to stakeholders, responsible authorities, and neighbouring boroughs, stressing that the legal process was an essential component of consultation. Additional detail had been provided in areas such as safeguarding children to ensure clarity for the licensing trade, residents, and Committee Members. It was explained that practical so lutions had been incorporated based on issues encountered over the past five years, including closer consideration of planning matters, which had previously been excluded from licensing discussions. The Select Committee asked whether any collaboration had taken place with the Community Safety department or Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNT), given their operational role. It was confirmed that such engagement had occurred, noting that priorities identified in community safety strategies —such as tackling violen ce against women and girls—had influenced the inclusion of measures addressing spiking and the Ask Angela initiative. The Licensing Team Manager emphas ised that the licensing policy had not been developed in isolation but worked in conjunction with other strategies, including Public Space Protection Orders. Members suggested that engagement could be increased by sharing information at upcoming SNT meetings and encouraging attendees to participate. The Officer welcomed this suggestion and acknowledged that, with a fully staffed team of nine officers, there was scope for greater direct engagement. The Committee concluded by commending the inclusion of new provisions on issues such as drink spiking, third -party contractors, and overrates. The Chair expressed satisfaction with the thoroughness of the report and the positive reception of the consultation, congratulating the officers on their work. RESOLVED: That the Committee consider ed the revisions to the Statement of Licensing Policy. 122. FORWARD PLAN (Agenda Item 11) RESOLVED: That the Residents’ Services Select Committee note d the Cabinet Forward Plan. 123.

Members reiterated their request for a site visit to the Borough’s Civic Amenity Sites. With regard to fly-tipping, the Committee also suggested a visit with the cage vans. RESOLVED: That the Residents’ Services Select Committee considered the Work Programme report and agreed any amendments. . The meeting, which commenced at 7.00 pm, closed at 9.04 pm.

CRIME AND DISORDER SCRUTINY: SAFER HILLINGDON PARTNERSHIP PERFORMANCE UPDATE (Agenda Item 5) Chief Inspector Ben Wright of the Metropolitan Police, Richard Webb, Director of Community Safety and Enforcement, and Janice Noble, Head of Safer Communities and Vulnerabilities were in attendance to provide an overview of the report and answer Members’ questions. It was noted that Jan Noble had recently joined the Council and led work on the Community Safety Partnership. A new Community Safety Strategy had been developed and had provisionally been agreed at the last Saf er Hillingdon Partnership meeting. The next steps included Cabinet approval and public consultation. Members heard that several working groups had been formed to address place -based crime and safety issues, and a new Integrated Offender Panel was being developed under probation leadership. Chief Inspector Wright reported significant pressure on the police due to public demonstrations and budget cuts, resulting in staff reductions. Despite these challenges, it was reported that local progress had been made : the homicide rate was zero for the year, and reductions had been seen in youth violence, burglary, vehicle theft, and shoplifting. Robbery and related crimes remained a concern but were lower than in other London areas. Members enquired how the £450 million funding gap affected residents and whether neighbourhood officers were being lost due to budget reallocations. Chief Inspector Ben Wright explained that neighbourhood officers were generally ring - fenced and protected due to their importance. However, budget cuts had reduced staff numbers, creating a high -pressure environment. The organisation faced complex restructuring challenges and required more funding to meet demand. Councillors expressed concern that Hillingdon residents were being left behin d as resources were diverted to central London. In response the Chief Inspector stated that decisions were based on risk prioritisation. Despite challenges, efficiencies had been achieved through organisational changes and resilient teams. The focus remained on balancing resources with demand. The Committee asked whether local demonstrations would be prioritised over central London events. In response, Members heard that risk analysis guided resource allocation. If credible intelligence indicated a need fo r increased presence in Hillingdon, it would be factored into broader resourcing decisions. With regard to Project Vigilant, Members enquired whether this was ongoing and what outcomes had been achieved. The Chief Inspector confirmed that the project was ongoing and a key priority. The organisation had strengthened public protection teams and conducted regular engagement events and operations. Arrests were typically made during these operations, and efforts were continuous. The Committee asked about plans to support residents without digital access or transport following the closure of Hayes Police Station front counter. In reply, it was explained that the closure was due to funding gaps. The decision was not finalised, and feedback was being considered. Att endance at the station averaged four crime reports per day, prompting further review. Members noted that other functions such as bail reporting and advice were also handled at the station. The Chief Inspector agreed and emphasised the importance of suppo rting vulnerable individuals. He confirmed that other technical functions were also performed at the station. With regard to crime statistics and reporting, Members requested statistics on motor vehicle crime, shoplifting, drug -related crime, and serious yo uth violence. The Chief Inspector did not have the figures to hand but committed to including them in the next Select Committee report. Councillors sought further clarification regarding officer allocation per ward and coverage during absences. It was c onfirmed that most wards had two PCs, with some having more based on crime data. PCSO numbers were increasing. It was reported that the force was at full complement, and retention had improved. The Committee raised concerns about residents not reporting low -level crime due to perceived inaction. In response, the Chief Inspector explained that volume crime was addressed through intelligence gathering rather than individual investigations. Reporting helped build intelligence to target offenders. Members suggested that councillors and community leaders could be used to promote positive news stories. The Chief Inspector agreed and noted the launch of Met Engage, which had high resident uptake. Budget cuts had affected media staffing, but efforts were ongoing to improve communication. Councillors expressed concern that Hillingdon residents were losing out due to both station closures and resource diversion. The Chief Inspector acknowledged the concern and confirmed that feedback had been shared. It was recognis ed that the organisation faced difficult choices due to funding shortfalls. Members asked about resident sign -ups to Met Engage following the transition from OWL. The Chief Inspector reported approximately 8,000 members, with monthly growth of 1,000. Engagement was being promoted across wards. Councillors sought further information in respect of attendance at monitoring groups and stop and search statistics. It was noted that groups were small and rotated. Approximately 3,000 stop and searches occurred an nually, with a 36% positive outcome rate. In response to further questions about youth involvement in advisory and neighbourhood boards, Members were informed that regular youth representation and quarterly informal meetings were held, which provided valuable perspectives. With regard to the Licensing Team restructure at the Metropolitan Police, Members asked whether this posed risks to local licensing enforcement. It was confirmed that licensing remained a priority. A pod -based system was being considere d, and efforts were being made to retain experienced staff. Councillors requested an update on the promised reopening of Uxbridge front counter. The Chief Inspector stated that the matter predated his tenure and there was no current plan to reopen the station. In response to queries regarding diversity and cultural improvements within the Met, especially regarding stop and search, the Chief Inspector highlighted internal reforms, increased representation, and improved professional standards. It was confir med that stop and search was monitored, with positive feedback and low complaint rates. The Committee asked about the strength of the partnership between the Metropolitan Police and the Council. In response, the Chief Inspector reported strong collaboration , regular communication, and shared goals. Members heard that improvements were ongoing. With regard to stations closures, Councillors sought reassurance as to whether this affected bail compliance. Chief Inspector Ben Wright acknowledged the risk and confirmed it was part of ongoing decision-making. Final plans were pending. The Committee highlighted concerns regarding low public trust due to perceived leniency in sanctions. It was explained that the police were not responsible for sentencing. However, i t was noted that the criminal justice system faced challenges, and broader reforms were needed. Members raised concerns about learning from past station closures and promoting good news to improve engagement. In response, it was confirmed that processes would be developed once decisions were finalised. Met Engage provided data to track engagement, and efforts were being made to ensure even coverage across the Borough. RESOLVED: That the Select Committee noted the contents of the report and asked questions in order to clarify matters of concern or interest in the Borough. 107. BUDGET AND SPENDING REPORT (Agenda Item 6) Dan Kennedy - Corporate Director of Residents’ Services, Matt Davis – Director, Strategic & Operational Finance, Ceri L amoureux – Head of Finance, Bernard Ofori - Atta – Head of Finance, Julia Johnson – Director of Planning & Sustainable Growth and Gary Penticost – Director of Operational Assets were in attendance to present the report and answer Members’ questions. Members sought clarification regarding the £1 million shortfall in garden waste charging and enquired whether it was due to low uptake, operational delays, or pricing strategy. In reply, officers explained that the scheme had only been running for two months following a July consultation. The shortfall was due to the delayed start. Uptake was expected to increase in autumn. It was noted that the scheme offered better value than other boroughs, with lower subscription costs and weekly collections for most of the year. Councillors requested a breakdown of the £1.4 million savings carried forward into 2025/26. Officers directed attention to Table 7, which included a “brought forward” column detailing items such as the £260K for developing the commercial trade waste service. They apologised for the lack of clarity in the report text. Members sought further clarification as to how Heathrow contributed to the £6.1 million pressure from temporary accommodation and homelessness. It was explained that national housing press ures were compounded locally by Heathrow -related demand. The Home Office placed asylum seekers in hotels near Heathrow, leading to disproportionate homeless presentations. Additional unfunded responsibilities included housing UK nationals returning to th e country, who were ineligible for welfare benefits during their residency qualification period. The Committee asked whether asylum seekers were treated differently under the homelessness policy. In reply, officers confirmed that all policies were applied consistently. However, the Council had to intervene where vulnerabilities existed, regardless of status. Councillors raised concerns about the clarity of the budget presentation and the use of outdated data (Month 2). Officers explained the structure of Table 2, including definitions of approved budget, underlying forecast, earmarked reserves, provisions, and transformation capitalisation. They clarified that Month 2 data was the latest validated set approved by Cabinet, with Period 4 data pending sign-off. Members enquired what proportion of the £1.4 million savings were structural versus one-off, and how confident the Council was in achieving them. In response, officers committed to providing a breakdown in the future. They gave an example of the commercial trade waste service, which had struggled to meet targets due to competitor pricing. It was confirmed that a new approach was being developed to improve uptake. Members sought further clarity regarding contingency plans for red -rated items. Officers explained that budget leads were accountable and did not have permission to overspend. Mitigations included cost controls, recruitment reviews, and alternative delivery methods. Colleagues provided examples of income uplifts, fast -track planning services, and asset utilisation (e.g., NHS tenancy in the Civic Centre). The Committee sought confirmation of the number of people housed in temporary accommodation and the cost per day. It was reported that approximately 1,500 households were currently in temporary a ccommodation, with around 750 –800 requiring subsidy. The average net cost was £50K per night, which was lower than other London boroughs. It was estimated that, of the 1,500 households, approximately 10-15% were refugees. Officers committed to provide mo re precise figures in the future. In response to further questions from Members, officers estimated a shortfall of £5 million annually for asylum seeker -related costs, with additional unfunded costs for UK nationals. Councillors enquired why fees and charge s appeared in the red column of Table 7. It was explained that some income targets were unachievable due to consultation requirements or market realities. A full review of the parking revenue account was underway to reset targets. In response to Members ’ questions regarding the £50K income target from filming and efforts to grow the industry, officers confirmed that the target had been achieved. It was noted that the communications team was actively promoting the Borough to filming companies through industry connections. The Committee asked about the timeline and scope of the parking income review. In response, officers stated that the review would conclude in time for December Cabinet proposals. It would be analytical and market -informed, with options t o adjust or phase targets. Members enquired whether there were early signs explaining income shortfalls. Officers responded that a root -and-branch analysis was needed. A parking strategy was being developed to align with the Council’s corporate plan. In response to further questioning from the Committee regarding refugees and asylum seekers, it was clarified that asylum seekers were housed by the Home Office. Once their claim had been determined, responsibility transferred to the Council. At the request of Members, it was agreed that clearer language would be used in future reports to avoid ambiguity. Officers committed to improving clarity in future updates. Councillors asked how transformation resources had been applied to waste services. It was explained that the funding supported the garden waste scheme, including tags and caps for identifying paid subscriptions. RESOLVED: That the Select Committee: 1. Noted the 2024/25 outturn position; and 2. Noted the 2025/26 Month 2 budget monitoring position 108. ABANDONED VEHICLES (Agenda Item 7) Joanne Howells - Service Manager, Antisocial Behaviour Team and Stephanie Waterford – Head of Public Protection and Enforcement were in attendance to answer Members’ questions in relation to the Abandoned Vehicles report. Noting that, between October 2024 and July 2025, the ASB Team had only issued 3 FPNs for wilful abandonment of vehicles on a public highway, Members enquired why this number was so low. In response, it was confirmed that the low number c ould be attributed to enforcement challenges in terms of evidence. Members heard that DVLA delays did not cause enforcement issues. The Committee enquired how Hillingdon’s enforcement figures compared to those of other local authorities. Officers noted tha t other local authorities faced similar challenges. It was agreed that enforcement benchmarking data against other local authorities would be sourced and circulated to the Committee via Democratic Services. In response to Members’ questions regarding t he use of ANPR cameras, the Committee was informed that Hillingdon did not utilise ANPR in relation to stationery abandoned vehicles. However, it was confirmed that the ANPR system was used to log vehicles that moved around the Borough. Members sought further clarification as to the percentage of the cost for removing vans or vehicles which was covered by the Council. In response, officers confirmed that the majority of the cost was covered by the West London Waste Authority. The Council operated a contra ct with them, and contractors removed vehicles on behalf of Hillingdon Council and other boroughs across Greater London. Members were informed that, when vehicle owners came forward, they bore the cost of storage and removal, which contractors recovered directly. For vehicles recovered but not collected, the Council was responsible for storage and destruction costs. Councillors asked whether there was active patrolling across the Borough to identify abandoned vehicles, such as those with weeds growing unde rneath them, and enquired whether there was any collaboration with the police to identify stolen vehicles. Officers confirmed that, in the past six months, 351 cases had been assigned to officers, with 236 site visits conducted. Officers inspected vehicles, took photographs, and made the necessary enquiries. The Council worked with local police teams who checked whether vehicles were stolen and took appropriate action. Members heard that stolen vehicles were not removed by the Council. Regarding vehicles p arked on private land, the Committee was advised that, if the landowner objected to removal within 15 days, the Council could not proceed with removal. In cases where there was an environmental hazard, such as someone living in the vehicle or a rat infestati on, it was confirmed that the vehicle could not be removed under abandoned vehicle legislation. However, the Council could pursue removal under Environmental Protection and statutory nuisance legislation. In response to their questions regarding the ave rage officer time spent investigating a suspected abandoned vehicle case, Members were informed that the time varied and was difficult to quantify without a time -motion study. The process included site visits, DVLA checks, correspondence with registered owne rs, and coordination with contractors. Officers sometimes needed to revisit sites multiple times due to objections or removal issues. The Committee heard that over 600 misdirected cases had been triaged by the front-door team, which did not meet the definition of abandoned vehicles. These included vehicles that were taxed or had valid MOTs. The triage process was very resource intensive. In respect of data on suspected abandoned vehicles linked to Heathrow travellers, officers stated that such cases were s creened out as nuisance parking and not processed as abandoned vehicles. The Council did not collect data on whether vehicles belonged to holiday travellers. Members sought further clarity as to what percentage of removed vehicles were not collected. It was confirmed that, in the past six months, 87 vehicles had been removed. Only two had been claimed by registered owners, and 57 had been destroyed. Councillors enquired whether there had been an increase in abandoned vehicles since the introduction of ULE Z in London. Officers agreed to provide before -and-after figures following the meeting. With regard to “surrender your car” initiatives to help residents dispose of vehicles, it was noted that no such initiatives were run by the Council. However, Govern ment scrappage schemes existed at the national or London-wide level. The Committee sought further information regarding the removal of HGV trailers in areas like Springfield Road. Officers emphasised that the Council was aware of the issue. Removal was comp licated due to size and occupancy. It was confirmed that several cases were currently open relating to Springfield Road. With regard to other hotspots for trailers, Members were informed that data collection was underway to identify such areas and enable proactive enforcement. In response to Members’ queries regarding staffing, it was noted that the six officers who dealt with abandoned vehicles also covered a wide range of other issues including fly-tipping, littering, highway obstructions, and overgrown hedges. It was noted that abandoned vehicles were among the top three categories of service requests. It was further confirmed that enforcement responsibilities were split between LBH -employed staff and contracted services. On -street enforcement was cont racted out. The Council had six street enforcement officers and two senior investigators for complex cases. Further to their questions regarding the removal of vehicles on private land , Members were informed that, if a landowner objected during the 15 -day n otice period, the Council was not at liberty to remove the vehicle in question. However, in cases where there was an environmental hazard, the Council would use alternative legislation such as Environmental Protection to address the issue. In respect of the rollout of the Love Clean Streets app it was highlighted that the Council was working with digital and intelligence teams to develop process maps and configurations. No fixed start date was committed, but an indicative go -live for the first stage was around November 2025. It was confirmed that the decision to engage with the app had been made by the Council’s digital and intelligence team. The app was part of a broader solution to improve issue reporting across services. RESOLVED: That the Residents’ Services Select Committee noted the content of the report. 109. PROPOSED REVIEW OF FOOTWAY PARKING IN PRIORITY AREAS (PHASE 1) (Agenda Item 8) Democratic Services introduced the item and outlined the proposal to initiate a review of footw ay parking within the Borough. It was reported that this proposal had been agreed in principle by Councillors Bridges and Farley during prior discussions. Given the extensive list of roads, it was deemed impractical to review them all, therefore, the r eview would focus on selecting approximately 20 roads where specific issues had already been reported by residents or identified by Ward Councillors. Councillors were invited to suggest additional roads from the list that they considered priority areas. It w as noted that the intention was to complete the review within the current municipal year, acknowledging the limited time available. Councillor Bridges added that the approach would be phased, beginning with a small number of roads. Emphasis would be pla ced on reviewing roads that had been suspended for several decades, some dating back to the 1980s. It was considered that the continued designation of these roads as “pending review” was inappropriate and required urgent attention. It was noted that the sele cted roads would be primarily located in areas of economic activity, such as shopping districts, where effective schemes could support economic growth. It was confirmed that some suggestions for review items, such as funfairs, were being addressed inte rnally and therefore deferred, while others had been added to the Committee’s work programme as information items for future scrutiny. With regard to the Footway Parking review, Members emphasised the importance of ensuring a fair geographical spread across the Borough to obtain a representative understanding. The Committee noted that there might be a higher concentration of suspended roads in the southern part of the Borough, but a balanced approach could be achieved, particularly in areas with shopping facilities. Councillors queried the timeframe for the review, referencing a proposed site visit mentioned on page 34 of the report, scheduled for December. Councillors highlighted that certain estates within the Borough had been constructed during periods t hat did not accommodate on-street parking, which had led to pavement parking arrangements. Members stressed the importance of formalising these arrangements and understanding their legitimacy and requested clarity on how the list would be agreed upon, particularly in relation to areas with historical infrastructure constraints. The Committee cautioned against an overly rigid equal split, which could result in the exclusion of significant roads —such as long roads near schools in the north —that had been susp ended. It was suggested that one option would be to use the Borough’s gritting map, as a model to identify priority roads for the review. It was agreed that the list should remain precise but focusing on road length and strategic importance was recommended. Councillors referred to a school safety review conducted in July 2024, which had included presentations from schools and residents concerning pavement parking near educational establishments. They recommended revisiting that review to identify any relevant roads. It was agreed that Democratic Services would reach out to relevant officers to obtain a suggested list of roads. This list could then be compared with the current proposals before seeking further input from councillors. RESOLVED: That the Co mmittee agreed to embark upon Footway Parking in Priority Areas (Phase 1) as their next review topic and agreed the draft Terms of Reference, scope of review and review structure as set out in the scoping report. 110. FORWARD PLAN (Agenda Item 9) Councillor Scott Farley requested further information in respect of two items on the Forward Plan – the Out of Hours service and HMOs. It was agreed that Democratic Services would follow up on this and revert to Cllr Farley directly. RESOLVED: That the Forward Plan be noted. 111. WORK PROGRAMME (Agenda Item 10) Democratic Services reminded Members that they had been invited to attend a financial scrutiny training session on 10 September from 18:00 hours. The training session would be held on Teams. RESOLVED: That the Work Programme be noted. The meeting, which commenced at 7.00 pm, closed at 9.04 pm. These are the minutes of the above meeting. For more information on any of the resolutions please contact Liz Penny, Democratic Services Officer on epenny@hillingdon.gov.uk. Circulation of these minutes is to Councillors, officers, the press and members of the public.

116. Budget and Spending Report PDF 350 KB
Dan Kennedy, Corporate Director of Residents’ Services, presented the Month 5 budget monitoring report, noting that the information had been drawn from the Cabinet report which was already in the public domain. It was stated that the Residents’ Services Directorate showed an £8.8 million overspend at Month 5, primarily due to temporary accommodation pressures amounting to £6.5 million. Additional pressures included underachievement of income from parking charges and the green waste subscription service, where the £2.5 million target was forecasted to achieve £1.6 million. The Housing Revenue Account was reported as breaking even. Councillors queried the underperformance of parking income and whether this could be attributed to post-pandemic behavioural changes or pricing issues, as well as the availability of data to distinguish the causes. It was confirmed that significant work had been undertaken to strengthen data analysis, including detailed monitoring of car park payment machine usage. While charges were considered competitive compared to other boroughs, it was noted that it remained too early to confirm the reasons. Patterns of usage were being examined to inform proposals for the forthcoming budget. Councillors enquired whether forecasts had accounted for potential income tax increases referenced in national budget speculation. Officers confirmed that predicting the effect on residents’ spending patterns—and consequently on Council income streams—was challenging. However, cost-of-living and wider socioeconomic impacts were being considered as part of the budget build for Cabinet consultation in December. Councillors questioned why the purchase of 400 houses had not reduced temporary accommodation figures and whether this was linked to arrivals from the Chagos Islands. It was explained that demand had risen sharply, with 40 households presenting as UK nationals in one month, equating to over 150 individuals requiring support. Leased properties intended to reduce costs had either been delayed or offered at unaffordable prices, limiting supply. Negotiations continued, but these properties had been removed from forecasts until viable agreements were secured. Members asked why the Council was not generating income from commercial trade waste when private companies were profiting. It was reported that competitors undercut Council prices and exploited published fees by offering special deals. A more agile pricing strategy was under review to ensure competitiveness. It was confirmed that commercial trade waste did generate income for the Council; however, the income was falling short of the target. Councillors sought clarification on whether the report covered data up to September and raised concerns about unclear language in reports, noting previous commitments to improve transparency. Officers confirmed that the report covered August and welcomed feedback to enhance clarity in future reports. Councillors queried why Table 1 appeared to add costs under “management action.” It was explained that managers reviewed budgets at their level, with subsequent adjustments made by senior officers based on additional information. These adjustments were aggregated, and detailed breakdowns could be provided if required. The Select Committee questioned the £7.3 million overspend in planning, housing and growth, noting that Heathrow-related pressures could not account for the full variance. Officers responded that arrivals through Heathrow had spiked ... view the full minutes text for item 116.

Residents’ Services Select Committee - 6 November 2025 Classification: Public BUDGET & SPENDING REPORT – SELECT COMMITTEE MONITORING Committee name Residents’ Services Select Committee Corporate Director(s) responsible Dan Kennedy, Corporate Director of Residents’ Services Papers with report N/A Ward All RECOMMENDATION That the Select Committee: 1. Notes the 2025/26 Month 5 budget monitoring position HEADLINES This monitoring report provides an update on the 2025/26 Month 5 budget position relevant to the Select Committee. Corporate Directors, supported by their Head of Finance, will attend the meeting to provide further details and clarifications. GENERAL FUND 2025/26 MONTH 5 BUDGET MONITORING POSITION As at Month 5 Service Operating Budgets that fall within Resident’s Services are forecasting a net overspend of £8.8m against normal operating activities, a £2.1m adverse movement from Month 4. Table 1 provides an overview of the Residents’ Committee’s Month 5 budget monitoring position by portfolio. It includes adjustments made to the forecast for Earmarked Reserves, Provisions and Transformation Capitalisation. Table 2 provides a detailed breakdown of the Residents’ Committee’s outturn by service area. Community & Environment are forecasting a pressure of £ 1.5m by the end of the ye ar, representing a favourable movement of £0.5m from Month 4. £1.7m of this relates to income, the largest driver for which is the forecast shortfall against the Garden Waste s ubscription fee of £0.8m, with further pressures across other income streams including the delivery of the Trade Waste income target rolled forward into 2025/26. There is a shortfall in rolled forward Pay and Display machines parking income by £0.8m but this is offset by higher-than-expected On- Street income of £0.4m. The underspend against expenditure is largely driven by staff vacancies being held to support the position where possible. Planning, Housing & Growth are reporting a net overspend of £7.3m, representing an adverse movement of £2.6m from Month 4. The overspend is dr iven by a gross expenditure pressure of £1 6.5m offset by additional income of £ 9.2m. The gross pressure is largely driven by temporary accommodation and homelessness support press ures. This reflects a national pressure, but with Hillingdon particularly impacted by Heathrow having a material impact on local supply and demand economics. The additional income is linked to the same driver whereby the additional demand for temporary acc ommodation attracts Housing Benefit Subsidy payments and grant funding where applicable. The movement in this area is wholly driven by this pressure, with further risks reported in the summary of this report, particularly Residents’ Services Select Committee - 6 November 2025 Classification: Public relating to the arrival of UK nationals needing homeless support. The reported position includes a net drawdown of (£544k) from Earmarked Reserves to support the following activity: (£130k) for Ward budgets , (£52k) for a Fleet compensation claim, (£193k) for the Hillingdon Local Plan, (£30k) for the West London Waste Plan and (£23 6k) has been drawdown from the Homeless Prevention Reserves for specific roles in Homelessness. These have been netted down by a contribution to the Textiles Surplus Reserve of £2k and a contribution to the Strategic Planning reserve of £52k. With Transformation activity underway to deliver against the Council’s saving programme, the position within Residents’ services is predicated on using £1.0m of capital receipts to fund implementation costs in line with the Government’s guidance. The savings requirement for 2025/26 is £9.9m, this position has been supplemented by a further £1.6m of prior year savings carried forward into 2025/26, resulting in an overall programme of £11.5m savings being deliverable in year. This is shown in table 3. As of Month 5, £5.4m (47%) of the savings and interventions are being recorded as banked or on track for delivery, with a further £ 2.4m (21%) being at initial stages of delivery. In addition, £ 3.3m (29%) are being reported as having potential challenges in delivery, with alternative delivery methods being considered in -year where appropriate . A further £ 0.4m of savings (3%) are now considered to be undeliverable and will need to be written out of the Council’s budget from 2026/27. The full £0.4m relates to the brought forward balance from the prior year. Where savings are at risk of not being delivered in full during 2025/26, the associated pressures have been factored into the monitoring position with compensating actions being implemented where possible to offset these pressures. RISKS & MITIGATIONS The main financial risk identified in Month 5 for Residents Services remains in the high cost of short - term temporary accommodation and high demand from homeless families. Within the Homeless Service, there is therefore a programme to significantly manage demand and move service users to more cost - effective accommodation and cheaper housing supply as mitigation. Another area of financial risk for Residents services is reduced income from some aspects of parking services. Mitigation of this is through a programme of review to assess reasons for the dr op in income and actions reduce costs of the service. Housing Revenue Account (HRA) As at 25/26 Month 5 the HRA showed a breakeven position with an underspend in Operational Asset activities including repairs, caretaking and grounds maintenance. This was countered by overspends on Housing Tenancy services. This has led to a forecast overspend on operating budgets of £0.86m which is absorbed within the Capital Financing. There are mitigations in process to reduce relevant overspends in operating budgets. HRA Savings are in the process of being realised . However, this is dependent on reductions in expenditure in General Fund support functions. This would then mean a reduction in Recharges to the HRA of £1.0m. The extent of these savings is therefore being closely monitored in conjunction with support service managers. Residents’ Services Select Committee - 6 November 2025 Classification: Public PERFORMANCE DATA N/A RESIDENT BENEFIT Regular monitoring of financial performance ensures that spending and savings targets are met, which supports the efficient delivery of services to residents. B y closely tracking expenditure and identifying variances, the council can take timely corrective actions to address overspending and mitigate risks. This also enhances public transparency and accountability, providing residents with confidence that their Council is managing finances prudently and prioritising their needs. Overall, regular monitoring supports safeguarding the Council's finances and the delivery of quality services to residents. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS This is primarily a finance report and the implications are set out in the main body of the report above. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS There are no direct legal implications arising from regular monitoring of the council’s finances by select committees. Democratic Services advise that effective ove rview and scrutiny arrangements require access to the information under the Committee’s purview and, in accordance with the 2024 Statutory Scrutiny Guidance, such information includes finance and risk information from the Council, and its partners where relevant.

Ian Kavanagh, Head of Business Intelligence, and Julia Johnson, Director of Planning and Sustainable Growth, were in attendance to respond to Members’ questions and requests for clarification in relation to the information in the report included in the agenda pack. A question was asked by the Committee about whether the figure of 245 new Council properties represented a net figure after accounting for Right to Buy losses. It was clarified that the figure referred to gross new acquisitions. It was noted that a significant spike in Right to Buy applications had occurred when discounts were reduced, similar to trends experienced by other local authorities. It was explained that it was difficult to determine how many applications would ultimately convert. Concerns were raised by Members about underreporting of fly-tipping incidents and the inability of operatives to record data effectively. A query was made regarding measures to capture accurate data. In response, it was confirmed that reporting had been promoted through communication channels, including social media and newsletters. Officers acknowledged increasing pressure from fly-tipping and outlined actions such as responsive collection services, bulky waste collection, and targeted engagement in hotspot areas. It was emphasised that outreach to residents in flats and provision of accessible disposal sites were part of a blended approach. Further concerns were expressed about recurring fly-tipping despite action days and about contamination of recycling leading to waste being disposed of as general refuse. A question was also raised by Councillors regarding the proportion of contaminated recycling within household waste. It was stated that figures would need to be obtained and reported back to the Committee. The Committee enquired about audits of resident services datasets, error rates, and remediation plans. Officers explained that specific figures were not available at the meeting, but data quality reporting and processes such as standardisation and normalisation were in place to improve accuracy. Members raised queries regarding the decline in service requests and whether this reflected positive outcomes, as feedback from residents suggested otherwise. It was reported that new sweepers had been introduced to address weed control and detritus quickly, and positive feedback had been received regarding their deployment. Clarification was sought on the meaning of “refreshing” the local plan and justification for associated costs. It was explained that a statutory review was required every five years, and a full review had commenced. The process involved consultations, evidence gathering, housing need assessments, employment land analysis, site identification, and a green belt review, which accounted for the budget allocation. With regard to the increase in ASB reports, Councillors enquired whether this reflected improved reporting or worsening conditions. It was confirmed that growth was largely due to easier reporting via online tools. It was noted that ASB encompassed a broad range of issues, and approximately half of reported cases were actionable. Further queries were raised by the Committee in relation to engagement with housing associations. It was explained that liaison occurred on a case-by-case basis, with social landlords expected to take the lead in resolving issues. Members ... view the full minutes text for item 117.

Residents’ Services Select Committee – 6 November 2025 Classification: Public Annual Performance Report 2024/25 Committee name Residents’ Services Select Committee Officer reporting Ian Kavanagh, Head of Business Intelligence Papers with report Appendix 1 – Annual Performance Report 2024/25 Ward All HEADLINES This report presents Council’s Annual Performance for 2024/25. It outlines the performance cycle and shows corporate performance for 2024/25 across the Residents Services. Performance management is a critical function in local government, enabling councils to use data- driven insights to improve outcomes for residents. It supports accountability—both internally and externally—by demonstrating how public services respond to lo cal needs and ensure value for money. The Council’s performance framework is aligned with the Hillingdon Council Strategy and incorporates a suite of reports accessible to services, senior management, the Corporate Management Team, and Cabinet. This annual report draws on key performance indicators and monitoring data to assess progress against strategic objectives. Where applicable, it includes the most recent data available, including pre-2024/25 benchmarks. Notably, the report integrates future indicato rs from the newly introduced Local Government Outcomes Framework (LGOF), which defines 15 priority outcomes and 115 measures —most of which are statutory and allow for regional and national comparison. Hillingdon will contribute to the development of the LG OF ahead of its formal launch in April 2026 and will assimilate its measures into the Council’s performance management framework. Following Cabinet’s consideration of this Annual Report, all 4 select committees have scheduled consideration of this on their work programme in November to enable the monitoring of the performance of services within their respective remits. This ensures the Council can discharge its overview and scrutiny responsibilities effectively. RECOMMENDATIONS That the Select Committee: 1. Notes t he Annual Performance Report for 2024/25, as attached in Appendix 1; 2. Notes that the report will be presented to full Council in November alongside the Annual Performance Report for information and provide any comments as necessary. Residents’ Services Select Committee – 6 November 2025 Classification: Public SUPPORTING INFORMATION 1. Performance management is about using data to drive evidence -based decision making to challenge current ways of working and service delivery models. It is an important tool for local government to take responsibility for its own performance and for the pu blic and national governments to hold local service providers to account, ensuring they respond to local needs and that public money is being spent wisely. 2. Performance management includes a range of processes and methods to identify shared goals and various measurements of progress towards these. Closely aligned to the concept of governance it ensures arrangements are in place so an authority’s objectives can be achieved. 3. Within Hillingdon performance is aligned to the Council Strategy, where a suite of performance reports is available to services, senior management teams, the Corporate Management Team (CMT), and the Leader and Cabinet. Monthly reports are presented to CMT and action logs completed. 4. This annual report uses key performance indicators and monitoring data to show performance on key services for Financial Year 2024/25 (or in some cases, the latest data available as well as pre-financial year 2024/25). 5. The Annual Performance Report for 2024/25 presents a detailed and transparent account of how Hillingdon Council is performing across its core service areas, with a clear emphasis on putting residents first. The report reflects a council that is actively responding to significant challenges—rising demand, financial pressures, and evolving community needs —while maintaining a strong commitment to service quality, accountability, and resident wellbeing. Residents Services 6. As is the case across many London boroughs, Hillingdon continues to face substantial challenges due to rising demand from homeless households. Since 2022/23, the borough has experienced a more than 50% increase in homelessness presentations, with the unit cost of interim accommodation rising by over 30% annually. These pressures are driven by market conditions including high property purchase and rental costs, compounded by Hillingdon’s role as a port authority, which contributes to a relatively higher level of need. 7. Social housing providers are also facing competing demands, particularly the need to improve the condition of existing stock, which is diverting resources away from expanding affordable housing supply. This lack of affordable, good-quality housing—across both public and private sectors—is placing considerable strain on the Council’s finances and its ability to meet statutory responsibilities. It also risks negatively impacting residents’ health, wellbeing, and educational outcomes. 8. Since April 2023, the number of residents approaching th e Council due to the threat of homelessness has doubled. In response, a series of targeted actions are being implemented Residents’ Services Select Committee – 6 November 2025 Classification: Public under the Temporary Accommodation Strategy, approved by Cabinet in February 2025, to improve outcomes during 2025/26. These include: a. Increasing proactive homelessness prevention efforts with landlords to reduce presentations by 25 placements per month. b. Introducing a price cap for all nightly charged temporary accommodation placements. c. Securing 100 new leases for temporary accommodation use. d. Expanding the supply of private rented accommodation by 25 units, bringing the total to 349 units for general fund placements. e. Increasing the availability of social rented homes for homeless households, including the delivery of 245 new council properties in 2025/26. 9. Over the past year, the Directorate has strengthened delivery across key areas aligned to the Council’s corporate plan ambitions—particularly around sustainability, affordable housing, and a thriving local economy. 10. Highways maintenance continues to outperform London averages, with well -managed street works and an expanding network of EV charging points supporting greener travel and effective traffic management. 11. Housing delivery remains a priority, with over 400 new homes com pleted and further developments underway, including regeneration schemes at Hayes Town Centre, the Former RAF Uxbridge site, and Grays Road, where early resident consultation has been completed. These efforts are expanding the borough’s housing stock to meet growing demand. 12. Planning and Building Control services remain robust, ensuring safe and well -designed developments. The Local Plan is currently being refreshed, and the Directorate is actively engaging with local businesses to drive inward investment a nd economic growth. Initiatives such as the Hillingdon Takes Off conference, supported by UK Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF) resources, have brought together over 100 businesses to explore new opportunities for jobs, skills, and apprenticeships. 13. Housing repa irs and maintenance have also improved, with over 3,000 repairs completed across council-owned dwellings, contributing to safer, healthier homes and earning a C2 rating in the recent housing inspection. PERFORMANCE DATA Performance data is included throughout the report. RESIDENT BENEFIT This report enables residents, communities, and service users to understand how well services are performing, ensuring transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement in meeting local needs. Residents’ Services Select Committee – 6 November 2025 Classification: Public FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS There are no direct financial implications to the Council associated with the recommendations in this report.

London Borough Of Hillingdon Performance Report 2024/25 (Appendix 1) Leader of the Council: Cllr Ian Edwards For councils, performance management uses data to drive evidence-based decision making, challenging current ways of working and service delivery models. Our digital transformation investment has made this report efficient. It helps local government take responsibility for its performance and allows our residents to hold us to account, ensuring we are meeting local needs and spending their money wisely. Performance management involves setting shared goals and measuring progress towards them. It ensures governance arrangements are in place to achieve an authority's objectives. In Hillingdon, performance is aligned with the Council Strategy, providing performance reports to services, senior management teams, the Corporate Management Team, and the Leader and Cabinet. This annual report uses key performance indicators and monitoring data to show the performance of key services for the financial year 2024/25. Where possible, we have benchmarked these against comparable authorities Cabinet Member: Cllr Steve Tuckwell Portfolio: Planning, Housing and Growth Safe and strong communities A thriving economy Thriving, healthy households Our commitments to residents Corporate Director: Dan Kennedy, Residents Services As with many boroughs in London, high levels of demand from homeless households is a significant risk and challenge for the local authority. In line with the London picture, demand from homeless households in Hillingdon remains high and has increased by more than 50% since 2022/23. The unit cost of interim accommodation is rising by more than 30% per year. The rise in homelessness is due to the changing market conditions, the high purchase cost of homes and high rental costs combined with the borough being a port authority with the associated infrastructure which leads to Hillingdon experiencing a higher relative level of need than many other boroughs. The competing demands on social housing providers to improve the condition of their existing homes is also re-directing resources away from providing new affordable housing supply. The lack of affordable housing is putting significant pressure on the council's finances and ability to meet its statutory responsibilities in this area. Insufficient supply of affordable good quality housing in both the private and public sector can lead to a detrimental impact on the health, wellbeing and educational attainment of residents. The total approaches to the council from residents threatened with homelessness remains high and has doubled since April 2023. A number of actions are in place to improve the situation over the course of 2025/26 as part of the Temporary Accommodation Strategy approved by Cabinet in February 2025. This includes: - increasing proactive, homeless prevention actions with those evicting, to reduce levels of homeless presentations (reduce by 25 placements per month) - implementing a price cap for all temporary accommodation nightly charged placements - securing 100 new leases for use as temporary accommodation in 2025/26 - increasing the supply of private rented accommodation by 25 units (total =349 units in 2025/26 for general fund placements) - increasing the supply of social rented homes available to homeless households, to include delivery of 245new council properties in 2025/26. yr Corporate Director: Dan Kennedy, Residents Services To maintain our corporate plan ambitions for sustainability, good quality affordable homes for our residents and maintaining a strong local economy, we have improved many areas of business within the Residents Services Directorate over the last year. Our highways maintenance is one of the best across London with many of our roads being maintained to higher than the London average. We are also increasing the level of EV charging points across the borough as well as effectively managing our street works to ensure effective traffic management during our repairs. We have delivered over 400 new homes for the borough in the last year with more scheduled for delivery this year. Our regenerations schemes at Hayes Town Centre and the Former RAF Uxbridge site are progressing well with the first phases of the Hayes Regeneration scheme scheduled for completion later this year. Our Grays Road development is also progressing with first stages of consultation with local residentscompleted earlier this year. This level of new acquisitions and built homes ensures we are growing ourhousing stock to meet the demands for housing across Hillingdon. Our Planning and Building Control teams are continuing to deliver effective services across the borough and seek to enforce planning and building control breaches across Hillingdon to ensure we live in safe and well-designed buildings. We are currently refreshing our Local Plan for Hillingdon as well as actively working with our local businesses to promote inward investment and economic growth initiatives; these will support more local jobs, provide greater opportunities for local businesses to grow and the delivery of opportunities for enhanced skills and apprenticeship opportunities through our UK SPF funding initiatives including our recent conference at the Battle of Britain Bunker, Hillingdon Takes Off where we saw over 100 local and regional businesses come together to share our local experiences of working to deliver new initiatives across Hillingdon. Our Housing repairs and maintenance of council stock is improving creating good quality homes which are safe and comfortable for our residents increasing their general health, safety and wellbeing within their homes. This last year completing over 3,000 repairs across our council owned dwellings culminating in a good C2 rating from our recent housing inspection. The number of households in temporary accommodation has continued to rise steadily since mid-2023, breaching the initial 1,300 target in early 2024 and peaking at 1,426 in January 2025. Figures have since plateaued, but remain significantly above target, with 1,423 recorded in March 2025. Alongside this, the number of households staying in temporary accommodation for over six months (lower slide) has exceeded the target of 1,050 since March 2024. This group peaked at 1,147 in October 2024 and remains persistently high, indicating growing challenges in moving people on to settled housing. The continued rise in both overall usage and duration reflects sustained pressure on housing supply and limited exit pathways from temporary accommodation. Planning, Housing and Growth The number of households currently occupying temporary accommodation. When a household approaches us at risk of homelessness, we have a duty to help them. If attempts to prevent homelessness are unsuccessful, we place the household into temporary accommodation. This is the number of new residents who are asking for support that are at risk of being homeless leading to increases in temporary accommodation spend. The number of new homelessness presentations has shown a significant increase over the two-year period. In April 2023, there were 297 new cases, rising sharply to a peak of 721 in February 2025. Most months in the 2024/25 financial year recorded higher figures than the same months in the previous year, indicating a year-on-year upward trend. This suggests increasing pressure on housing and support services, particularly during the winter months, where figures were consistently above 600. Planning, Housing and Growth The cost of paid accommodation and the number of high-cost tenancies continued to increase in 2024/25. This is largely due to increasing demand and the rising cost of renting accommodation from private landlords and that cost has been offset by the council using more of its own properties for temporary accommodation. We have also introduced a new policy to cap nightly costs, and we are already seeing the benefits of both initiatives in 2025/26. Planning, Housing and Growth Overall, the number of children living in temporary accommodation placed by Hillingdon is below the London average. Planning, Housing and Growth As of March 2025, there were 76 new people sleeping rough over the month (67%, compared to 36% in London and 32% in England). 34% of those sleeping rough had left asylum support in the last 85 days – compared to 7% in London and 4% in England; the high number of placements of asylum seekers and subsequent high eviction rates from hotels, by the Home Office in the borough, has contributed to higher levels of rough sleeping in the borough.

A timely manner is statutory defined as within eight weeks or unless an application is subject to Environmental Impact Assessment, in which case a 16- week period applies, for all minor applications. Minor includes: dwellings, general industry / storage and warehousing, offices, light industry, retail and services, traveller caravan pitches and other developments. Building Control, Housing and Growth This is the percentage of all major development planning applications (PAs) whether or not they have a Planning Performance Agreement (PPAs), Extension of Time (EoT) and/or Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), determined in a timely manner, each financial year. A timely manner is statutory defined as within 13 weeks or unless an application is subject to Environmental Impact Assessment, in which case a 16-week period applies, for all major applications. Major includes the same categories as Minor but also public service infrastructure developments. Building Control, Housing and Growth Cabinet Member: Cllr Jonathan Bianco Portfolio: Corporate Services and Property Safe and strong communities A digital-enabled, modern, well-run council Our commitments to residents yur Corporate Director: Dan Kennedy, Residents Services To maintain our corporate plan ambitions for sustainability, good quality affordable homes for our residents and maintaining a strong local economy, we have improved many areas of business within the Residents Services Directorate over the last year. We have delivered over 400 new homes for the borough in the last year with more scheduled for delivery this year. Our regenerations schemes at Hayes Town Centre and the Former RAF Uxbridge site are progressing well with the first phases of the Hayes Regeneration scheme scheduled for completion later this year. Our Grays Road development is also progressing with first stages of consultation with local residentscompleted earlier this year. This level of new acquisitions and built homes ensures we are growing our housing stock to meet the demands for housing across Hillingdon. Our capital programmes across the borough are building new homes, a new leisure centre and many new facilities across Hillingdon. Our Housing repairs and maintenance of council stock is improving creating good quality homes which are safe and comfortable for our residents increasing their general health, safety and wellbeing within their homes. This last year we completed over 3,000 repairs across our council owned dwellings culminating in a good C2 rating from our recent housing inspection. These initiatives ensure our assets are kept to a high standard of maintenance and efficiency which in turn assist our residents to control increases in energy costs. We are currently reviewing our assets to ensure we utilise our corporate estate efficiently and have introduced decarbonisation initiatives in a number of our corporate buildings including the Civic Centre. We have also carried out extensive refurbishment works to many properties across the borough and this year have seen the new library and registrars' offices open to the public with the new Jubilee Leisure Centre opening shortly. Our capital works programme is also ensuring we are improving our schools with many new facilities. We are also working hard to ensure our property lettings are increasing the council's ability to raise income for residents whilst also supporting community groups to continue to use our assets to support local initiatives across the borough. This year we have managed to work in partnership with other providers to keep the Beck Theatre and re-open the Uxbridge Golf course. The number of properties acquired by Hillingdon Council which includes new builds and acquisitions to housing stock. By the end of the financial year, the council significantly exceeded its target of increasing housing stock by 300 properties, contributing to a more sustainable and secure supply of homes for local residents. This growth reflects the council’s continued investment in addressing housing need across the borough. Corporate Services and Property – New Builds and Acquisitions Each month, more than 3,000 repair requests are logged. Emergency job volumes have remained stable, while routine repairs have fluctuated slightly. Despite this, overall repair completion rates have steadily improved, meaning more issues are being resolved on time. This improvement helps ensure that homes remain safe, functional, and comfortable. A more reliable repair service also means residents experience fewer delays and less stress, with reduced need for repeated follow-ups. Homes and Communities – Repairs The top graph looks at the number of jobs that have been logged that are either classed as emergency or routine. Emergency jobs require either next day or out of hours attendance. Routine jobs are up to 90 working days depending on the severity. The bottom graph looks at overall jobs completed. The top graph shows the number of responsive repairs completed for every 1,000 properties. This is used to measure the average core demand (Target Line) placed on the sector. Based on this the sector's average is 295. The bottom graph also looks at responsive repairs completed on time but as a percentage and the target for this is 89%. Since September 2024, Hillingdon has consistently achieved the target of responsive repairs completed within the required timescales each month which means most residents can now expect a more dependable and timely repairs service. Homes and Communities - Repairs Cabinet Member: Cllr Eddie Lavery Portfolio: Community and Environment Our commitments to residents Safe and strong communities A green and sustainable borough Corporate Director: Dan Kennedy, Residents Services Hillingdon has a high volume of green spaces and areas of outstanding natural beauty to enjoy, and it is good to see that service requests for green spaces and parks have reduced this last year compared to previous years. We are continuing to enhance various areas through our Chrysalis programme of improvements and alsoworking hard to keep the many miles of parks looking good across the borough for our residents to continue to enjoy. Weed overgrowth continues to be a high priority for residents although our service requests are down compared to last year along with request relating to tree maintenance. Whilst we are slightly above the London average for household waste tonnage collection last year we are seeing a reduction in the levels of tonnage this year for the first half of the year. Looking at the wider waste recycling initiatives across the borough, we are one of the top performing boroughs across London for dry recycling and we are trialling new initiatives and campaigns every month to improve our overall recycling figures across the borough. These initiatives include new trials to help boost recycling rates across flats. Our fly tipping figures across London show us to be mid-table in terms of reported fly tips. We continue to promote our trade waste services which bring invaluable income into the council to help reduce overall waste costs. New initiatives this year and next will be looking to review the way we recycling our waste in the future. Feeling safe and secure in their homes and communities is important to our residents. With this in mind, our Safer Hillingdon Partnership brings together all key partners to set and lead the local community safety strategy to prevent crime and anti-social behaviour (ASB) in the borough. Overall, crime levels in Hillingdon are lower than average across London but confidence in policing, as measured through the Public Attitude Survey, has reduced during the last 12 to 18 months for a number of measures. The Metropolitan Police are implementing their Local Plan to boost public confidence in policing.Across the borough, ASB rates are increasing, and are higher than average for London boroughs – targeted, joined up prevention work across the council'sfrontline teams and 'community action days' are being delivered this year to help reduce levels of ASB referrals. Hillingdon's library service, including the mobile library, continues to remain a popular and valued service by residents with one in every three adults in the borough visiting a library – considerably higher than the average for London. The implementation of Hillingdon's Library Strategy continues to develop and evolve the contribution the service makes to our communities. Community and Environment – Green spaces Fewer service requests about green spaces suggest improvements are making a real impact. This chart shows a year-on-year reduction in service requests related to green spaces—such as overgrowth, weeds, grass cutting, and parks. Most requests this year focused on overgrowth and weeds, but the overall decline points to more effective maintenance and positive outcomes for residents. By targeting the most common issues and listening to community feedback, the council has reduced new reports and helped keep parks and green areas cleaner, better maintained, and more enjoyable for everyone. Community and Environment – Trees Fewer tree-related service requests suggest positive progress in local tree management. This chart shows a year-on-year decline in service requests about trees—covering issues like branches, tree health, and roots. Most requests this year focused on branches and health, with fewer concerns about roots. The overall reduction in reports indicates that the council’s proactive approach is working assisted by an updated tree policy. By targeting the most common issues, the council has improved response and maintenance— helping to keep Hillingdon’s trees healthy, safe, and enjoyable for all. Everyone deserves to feel safe in their community. This chart shows monthly anti-social behaviour (ASB) cases reported in 2024/25. Despite seasonal ups and downs, case numbers stayed consistently high—averaging 600 per month. Sharing this data keeps residents informed, fosters transparency, and empowers targeted community action to tackle persistent issues. ASB rates have steadily increased from January 2023 to March 2025. Throughout this period, Hillingdon consistently recorded higher rates than the London average. While both areas saw fluctuations, the overall trend points to a sustained rise in incidents—with the gap between Hillingdon and London remaining stable. Community and Environment – Anti-social Behaviour Everyone deserves to feel secure in their community. This chart shows monthly recorded crime volumes for the 2024/25 financial year. While figures fluctuated month to month, overall crime levels remained high— averaging 6,000 incidents a month. Sharing this data raises awareness, promotes accountability, and supports evidence-based crime prevention strategies. This chart compares 12-month rolling crime rates in Hillingdon and the London average since January 2023. Hillingdon consistently reported lower crime rates than London, though both areas followed a similar, relatively stable pattern over time. Despite minor monthly fluctuations, crime levels in both areas remained high— highlighting the ongoing need for sustained prevention efforts and active community engagement. Community and Environment - Crime Household waste levels impact both the environment and local services. This chart shows total household waste collected by each London borough in 2023/24. Hillingdon, highlighted in red, generated just over 100,000 tonnes—placing it mid - range among boroughs but slightly above the London average. Higher waste volumes suggest greater environmental pressure and increased demand on local infrastructure. Reducing waste through recycling, reusing, and mindful consumption is key to keeping Hillingdon cleaner, greener, and more sustainable. Community and Environment – Household waste (tonnes) Recycling performance is key to reducing environmental impact and waste disposal costs. This chart shows the percentage of household waste sent for dry recycling (excluding composting) by each London borough in 2023/24. Hillingdon, marked in red, recycled just under 20%—below the London average and in the lower half of boroughs. To improve recycling rates and reduce contamination, Hillingdon is trialling new recycling bins in selected flat blocks, supported by targeted education to encourage correct usage. This initiative, alongside community events, features in Hillingdon People, marketing campaigns, and direct communications, aims to raise awareness, foster better habits, and boost both the quality and quantity of recyclable materials collected Community and Environment – Dry recycling Our composting performance is helping reduce emissions and protecting natural resources. This chart shows the percentage of household waste sent for composting— such as food and garden waste—across London boroughs in 2023/24. Hillingdon, highlighted in red, composted just under 19% of its household waste, placing it among the top-performing boroughs and above the London average. Only a few boroughs achieved higher rates, with most sending significantly less organic waste for composting. Hillingdon’s strong performance in this area supports a cleaner, greener borough by cutting emissions and making better use of natural resources. Community and Environment – Composted waste Fly-tipping is a complex issue influenced by multiple local factors. This chart shows the total number of fly-tipping incidents reported by London boroughs in 2023/24. Figures can be shaped by population density, housing types, commuter routes, public reporting behaviour, and how rigorously incidents are identified and recorded. Variations may also reflect differences in crew training and the use of technology to capture incidents. For these reasons, boroughs should not be judged as ‘good’ or ‘poor’ performers based solely on incident numbers. A more nuanced understanding is essential for effective response and prevention. Community and Environment – Fly-tipping Library visits reflect good community engagement and access to local services. This chart shows the percentage of adults who visited a public library building, mobile library, or outreach service in person during leisure time over the past 12 months. Digital engagement is excluded. Data from the Participation Survey (covering adults aged 16+ in England) shows that 37.1% of adults in Hillingdon visited a library in 2023/24— well above the averages for London (29.8%) and England (25%). This strong performance highlights the value of accessible, in-person library services in supporting learning, wellbeing, and community connection. Community and Environment – Library visits Concluding comments The Annual Performance Report for 2024/25 provides a transparent account of Hillingdon Council's performance across core service areas, emphasizing putting residents first. The council is addressing significant challenges such as rising demand, financial pressures, and evolving community needs while maintaining a commitment to service quality, accountability, and resident wellbeing. In housing and homelessness, the council faces unprecedented demand, with record highs in temporary accommodation usage and homelessness presentations. To address this, Hillingdon has implemented targeted interventions, including increasing housing supply, introducing cost controls, and expanding prevention efforts to reduce reliance on temporary accommodation and improve outcomes for vulnerable households. Community and environmental services show positive trends in green space and tree maintenance, library engagement, and waste composting. However, challenges remain in recycling rates. Crime and ASB rates are high but stable, and public confidence in policing has declined, highlighting the need for continued community engagement and transparency. Financially, the council operates under considerable strain due to reduced central funding, inflationary pressures, and demand-led costs. Risk management processes have been strengthened, and counter fraud efforts have delivered significant recoveries. Overall, the report demonstrates Hillingdon's commitment to continuous improvement, resident-centred service delivery, and strategic resilience. The council’s data-driven approach, investment in transformation, and focus on outcomes position it to navigate the road ahead with purpose and clear objectives. Moving forward The Local Government Outcomes Framework (LGOF) is a new national system that will help councils across the country measure and improve the way they deliver services for residents. Due to launch in April 2026, the LGOF aims to create a clearer and more consistent picture of how well councils are supporting their communities by focusing on results that matter most to local people. What is the LGOF? The LGOF sets out 15 priority outcomes, such as health, housing, community safety, education, and the local environment supported by 115 individual measures. The vast majority of these are statutory indicators, meaning councils already collect and report this information to government. By bringing this data together in one place, the framework allows councils to see how they compare with others regionally and nationally, helping to identify areas for improvement and share what works. The LGOF isn’t just about collecting data; it’s designed to promote a culture of data-driven self-improvement and encourage councils to learn from each other. This should lead to better decision-making, more effective services, and improved outcomes for residents. What does it mean for Hillingdon? Hillingdon will contribute to the development of the LGOF as it takes shape over the next year, sharing our experience and helping to shape the final framework. Once it goes live, we will align our annual reporting and performance management to the LGOF’s outcomes and measures, ensuring residents and stakeholders can see how Hillingdon is performing in all key areas. Most of the information needed for the LGOF will come from statutory data returns that are already published. However, this also highlights the importance of having accurate and high-quality data in our systems. As part of our preparations, we will be prioritising improvements to data quality and carrying out audits in key service areas, so our reporting is reliable and reflects the real picture for our residents. By working towards the LGOF, Hillingdon is committed to being transparent about our performance, learning from best practice, and driving continuous improvement, helping us to deliver better services and outcomes for everyone in the borough.

118. Review of Footway Parking in Priority Areas (Phase 1): Witness Session 1 PDF 233 KB
Richard Webb (Director of Community Safety and Enforcement), Steve Austin (Traffic, Parking, Road Safety and School Travel Team Manager), Freddie Mohammed (Parking Representations and Appeals Manager) and Jas Rattu (Parking Infrastructure Manager) were in attendance to present the report and respond to Members’ questions and requests for clarification. The Traffic, Parking, Road Safety and School Travel Team Manager thanked Members for the list of roads identified for phase one review and explained that officers had undertaken initial observations: For Botwell Common Road, Hayes, Members heard that most issues appeared to be between Botwell Lane and Badgers Close, where the majority of footway parking occurred. Officers had also observed some footway parking in other parts of the road but noted that the lay-bys along Botwell Common Road were generally full and were not managed through a permit system. In respect of Clifton Gardens, Hillingdon, it was explained that the road contained numerous dropped kerbs, and from observations, residents tended to park across their own dropped kerbs during the evening due to limited space between them. The Traffic, Parking, Road Safety and School Travel Team Manager noted that formalising a scheme in this road would remove this option and severely reduce capacity, estimating that only six to ten spaces might remain if a footway parking scheme were introduced. Regarding Windsor Avenue, Hillingdon, the Traffic, Parking, Road Safety and School Travel Team Manager referred to a previous consultation, noting that the response rate had been 31%, with 30% of respondents supporting a formalised footway parking scheme and 70% opposing it. He suggested that unless attitudes had changed significantly, similar results would likely be obtained again. For Ryefield Avenue, Hillingdon, Members were informed that, while it might be possible to formalise footway parking near Long Lane, the complexity increased further along the road due to numerous dropped kerbs and the presence of a shopping parade where parking was already managed. Members were informed that Colham Green Road, Brunel, could be removed from the list of roads as controlled parking had been implemented along its length, eliminating footway parking issues. Similarly, Windsor Close in Northwood had a successful parking management scheme in place, and residents were encouraging the Council to extend its operating times. With regards to Wood End Green Road, Hayes, it was explained that there were significant lengths of single and double yellow lines. The Officer noted that many issues related to illegal parking on footways and grass verges behind these lines, which was not permitted, and suggested that some residents knowingly parked unlawfully. Finally, the Traffic, Parking, Road Safety and School Travel Team Manager addressed North Road, West Drayton, stating that officers had developed a parking management scheme for the northern section between Porters Way and Thornton Avenue following a petition from residents. This scheme was ready for implementation once funding was identified. However, south of Thornton Avenue, residents were strongly opposed to any formalisation of parking, whether on the footway or through a management scheme. Members referred to a recent petition ... view the full minutes text for item 118.

Page 1 DRAFT SCOPING REPORT Major Review Working Title A Review of Footway Parking in Priority Areas (Phase 1) Committee Residents’ Services Select Committee Review Year 2025/2026 OBJECTIVES Aim of Review To undertake a focused review of footway parking arrangements on a small number of priority roads in Hillingdon, particularly near schools, GP surgeries and shopping parades, where accessibility concerns have been raised. The review will assess signage, enforcement, and practical improvements to support pedestrian access and safety. Terms of Reference 1. To review footway parking arrangements on a small number of priority roads near schools, GP surgeries and shopping parades, and those with known accessibility concerns for pedestrians, including roads where parking enforcement is currently suspended. 2. To check the clarity and adequacy of signage and information for residents and visitors. 3. To examine how enforcement currently operates on these roads, including those with suspended enforcement, and identify any gaps or inconsistencies. 4. To consider simple, practical improvements such as better signage, clearer mapping, and digital tools to support enforcement. 5. To look at good practice from other London boroughs. 6. To make initial recommendations to Cabinet on how to improve safety, accessibility and enforcement in these priority locations, establishing a policy framework for any wider review of this across the Borough in the future. BACKGROUND Footway parking in Hillingdon has evolved over decades, with over 400 roads historically exempted from enforcement. Many of these exemptions were informal or temporary, often lacking compliant signage or markings. While some roads have formal schemes, others rely on informal, self-managed arrangements. This has led to Page 2 inconsistent enforcement, accessibility challenges for pedestrians, and confusion for residents and visitors. Scope This Phase 1 review will focus on a small number of priority roads with known accessibility issues. It will assess the clarity of signage, the impact on pedestrian access, and the effectiveness of current enforcement. The review will also consider practical improvements and examples of good practice from other boroughs. Known Issues • Inconsistent or unclear signage in exempted roads. • Accessibility challenges for pedestrians, especially those with mobility or visual impairments. • Enforcement gaps and confusion over legal status of informal schemes. • Resident resistance to formal schemes due to potential loss of parking capacity. • Damage to footways, verges, and street furniture from inappropriate parking. Role of Residents • Residents shape footway parking policy through: • Petitions and Consultations – requesting changes or opposing schemes. • Exemption Requests – leading to suspended enforcement in many roads. • Feedback on Physical Changes – e.g., verge removal or parking schemes. • Neighbourly Agreements – informal self-policing in exempted roads. • Accessibility Lobbying – especially for mobility and vision needs. • Participation in Reviews – such as the 2016 study of exemptions. Connected matters • Parking strategy and enforcement policy. • Resident engagement and complaints. • Digital transformation and service accessibility. Legislative context • Greater London Council (General Powers) Act 1974, s.15 – London-wide ban on footway parking, with borough power to grant exemptions. • Traffic Management Act 2004 (Part 6) – framework for civil parking enforcement. • Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 – powers for Traffic/Parking Orders that formalise exemptions and schemes. Page 3 • Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 – standards for lawful signage and markings. • Highways Act 1835 s.72 and related provisions – offence of driving on the footway (police enforced). • Other police- enforced provisions: Highways Act 1980 s.137, Town Police Clauses Act 1847 s.28, and Construction & Use Regs 1986 reg.103. • Road Traffic Act 1988 s.19 – HGV restrictions on verges/footways. EVIDENCE GATHERING Core intelligence required: • List of roads with formal and informal footway parking arrangements (see Appendix 1) – this will need to be narrowed down to a small number of priority areas. Councillor input will be useful in this. • Resident and Ward Councillor feedback, complaints, and petitions. • Site visits to assess signage, accessibility, and parking behaviour - suspended zones with high complaint volumes. • Enforcement data (PCNs issued, appeals, cancellations). • Examples of good practice from other London boroughs. Cabinet Members & Services relevant to this review • Cabinet Member for Community & Environment / Cabinet Member for Planning, Housing & Growth. • Parking Services and Enforcement Team. • Highways and Transportation Team. • Legal Services (for compliance and enforcement powers). Potential Witnesses and Site Visits • Officers from Parking Enforcement, Highways, and Legal Services. • Local residents and Ward Councillors. • Representatives from schools, GP surgeries, and local businesses. • Site visits to priority roads with known issues. Lines of Enquiry • Specific lines of enquiry will be worked up prior to witness sessions.  REVIEW PLANNER Proposed timeframe & milestones for the review: Page 4 Meeting Date Action Purpose / theme Witnesses / officers attending 9 September 2025 Agree Scoping Report Define scope and objectives / understand the core issues Democratic Services Transportation Officer 6 November 2025 Witness Session 1 Current enforcement and suspension practices Richard Webb / Freddie Mohammed / Jas Rattu / David Knowles December 2025 Site Visit Review signage and specific suspended zones Committee Members 8 January 2026 Witness Session 2 Resident and business impact Best practice and innovation Communications, Local Residents, Business Representatives 18 February 2026 Debrief and emerging findings To discuss key findings and identify potential recommendations Democratic Services 10 March 2026 Approval of draft final report Proposals – agree recommendations and final draft report to Cabinet Committee Members 22 April 2026 Final Report to Cabinet Cabinet Members Resource Requirements No financial assessment required at scoping stage. Any recommendations with budget implications will be discussed with Cabinet Members and the Leader. Equalities Impact The review will promote equitable access to footways and ensure that enforcement practices do not disadvantage vulnerable residents. No formal Equalities Impact Assessment is required at this stage. Scrutiny Benefit • Driving improvement and modernisation. • Supporting accessibility and safety for all residents. • Providing evidence-based recommendations to Cabinet. Page 5 • Demonstrating effective scrutiny and resident engagement. Author of Scoping Report Liz Penny Date 1 September 2025 David Knowles, May 2025 Page15 Roads in Hillingdon exempted from Footway Parking Enforcement based on resolutions made by the Council at the time (see dates in table below). Locations Exempt from Footway Parking Enforcement (except where there are waiting restrictions or stopping prohibitions) Generally , the Council's criteria for footway parking are as follows12: - Vehicles must park at least 15 metres from any junction. - Vehicles must park with only two wheels on the footway and leave at least 1.5 metres width of clear footway for pedestrians to walk along. - Any goods vehicle parked on the footway must have an unladen weight of 1525kg or less. - Parking is permitted on tarmac areas but not on grass verges or on paving slabs. It shoul d be noted that there are some exceptions to these criteria which are detailed in the table below. A key probl em is that these arrangements were brokered between the Council and the residents of the time; both may changed considerably in the years that ensued. Furthermore, in common with the tenet of much formal parking and traffic legislation, a visitor to an area cannot be expected to be aware of these arrangements. 13 Street Date scheme approved14 Ward (old ward names) Comments Acacia Avenue, Hayes 16-Nov-99 Townfield Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Acorn Grove, Ruislip 10-Sep-97 South Ruislip Enforcement suspended ON THE GRASS AREA ONLY pending installation of formal scheme Adelphi Crescent 06-Jun-89 Charville Formal scheme with signs and lines Adrian Close, Harefield 23-Sep-98 Harefield Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Aintree Close, Hayes 15-Jul-98 Yiewsley Formal scheme with signs and lines Aldenham Drive, Hayes 18-Oct-95 Brunel Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Almond Avenue, Ickenham 26-Feb-98 Ickenham Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Almond Avenue, West Drayton 26-Feb-98 West Drayton Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Andover Close, Uxbridge 02-Apr-96 Uxbridge South Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Appledore Avenue, Ruislip 01-Nov-89 Cavendish Formal scheme with signs and lines Arundel Road, Uxbridge 04-Oct-05 Uxbridge South Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Ash Grove, Harefield 01-Nov-89 Harefield Formal scheme with signs and lines 12 See also 1987 papers attached at Appendix B 13 The Human Rights Act 1998 and its relationship to parking regulations in the UK, particularly regarding private parking companies, is a complex issue with multiple layers. While the Act does not directly regulate private parking enforcement, it can be invoked to challenge practices deemed ‘unfair’ or ‘unreasonable’. The Act ensures compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights, which includes rights to fair trials and freedom from disproportionate interference with property. The context here is that a stranger to the local area cannot be expected to know, by osmosis, what conditions have been locally agreed without clear information. 14 Links to original reports where available via the hyperlinks David Knowles, May 2025 Page16 Street Date scheme approved14 Ward (old ward names) Comments Ash Grove, Hayes 08-Nov-90 Botwell Formal scheme with signs and lines Ashby Way, Sipson 26-Feb-98 Heathrow Villages Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Ashford Avenue, Hayes 16-Nov-99 Yeading Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Ashley Road, Uxbridge 04-Oct-05 Uxbridge South Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Attlee Road, Hayes 05-Dec-96 Barnhill Formal scheme with signs and lines Avenue Close, West Drayton 18-Aug-05 West Drayton Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Balmoral Drive, Barnhill Ward 01-Nov-89 Barnhill Formal scheme with signs and lines Balmoral Drive, Charville Ward 01-Nov-89 Charville Formal scheme with signs and lines Barnhill Road, Hayes 01-Jun-89 Barnhill Formal scheme with signs and lines Barnstaple Road, South Ruislip 12-Mar-96 Cavendish Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Barrington Drive, Harefield 20-Sep-04 Harefield Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Baxter Close, Hillingdon 16-Nov-99 Hillingdon East Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Beatrice Close, Eastcote 09-Sep-99 Northwood Hills Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Bedford Avenue, Hayes 01-Nov-89 Barnhill Formal scheme with signs and lines Belmore Avenue, Hayes 01-Nov-89 Barnhill Formal scheme with signs and lines Belmore Parade, Hayes 12-Aug-97 Barnhill Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Berkeley Road, Hillingdon 16-Nov-99 Hillingdon East Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Berwick Avenue, Hayes 23-Sep-98 Yeading Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Bevin Road, Hayes 19-Sep-96 Barnhill Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Birch Avenue, Yiewsley 01-Oct-88 Yiewsley Formal scheme with signs and lines Bishops Road, Hayes 09-Sep-99 Botwell Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Blackpool Gardens, Hayes 16-Nov-99 Charville Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Blackthorn Avenue, West Drayton 13-Nov-97 West Drayton Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Blandford Waye, Hayes 06-Jan-89 Yeading Formal scheme with signs and lines Blossom Way, West Drayton 06-Jan-89 Heathrow Villages Formal scheme with signs and lines Bondfield Avenue, Hayes 05-Jun-00 Barnhill Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Botwell Common Road 22-Nov-01 Botwell Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme on north side of the road only Botwell Crescent, Hayes 09-Sep-99 Botwell Enforcement suspended pending installation of formal scheme Bradenham Road, Hayes 01-Nov-89 Charville Formal scheme with signs and lines Brampton Road, Hillingdon 20-Jun-94 Hillingdon East Enforcement suspended for the whole of the road David Knowles, May 2025 Page17 Street Date scheme approved14 Ward (old ward names) Comments Breakspear Road South, Ickenham 11-May-05 Ickenham Enforcement suspended outside NOS. 2 TO 16 ONLY pending installation of formal scheme.

Richard Webb, Director of Community Safety and Enforcement, was in attendance to respond to Members’ questions and requests for clarification in respect of the Draft Community Safety Strategy. Members began by asking when the Integrated Offender Management (IOM) Coordinator would be appointed and what governance procedures would apply if recruitment were delayed. It was explained that this had been discussed recently and funding for the post was being considered. It was confirmed that the role was recognised as essential to enable integrated work with the management board. Probation services were reviewing operational details and practices elsewhere, and a proposal would be brought to the next Safer Hillingdon Partnership meeting alongside other elements of the strategy and delivery plan. The Director of Community Safety and Enforcement noted that funding constraints would limit the ability to deliver some areas, but ambitions were being set where strengthening was required. Councillors then referred to a recent Safer Neighbourhood Team meeting at which suggestions had been made about improving lighting in certain roads and alleyways. They asked whether such measures could be included in the strategy to create safer spaces. The Director of Community Safety and Enforcement responded that requests for lighting and alleyway improvements were received regularly through resident feedback and petitions. However, these were often problematic due to issues such as privacy, light intrusion, and costs associated with maintaining mirrors, which were frequently damaged and required replacement. Barriers to prevent cycling in alleyways could also restrict accessibility. It was explained that the delivery plan included the establishment of the Hillingdon Enforcement Safety Panel, a new group tasked with identifying locations where safety risks existed and improvements could be made. Resident requests would be referred to this group for consideration. The Officer added that the Anti-Social Behaviour Team currently reviewed such requests, but the new approach would provide a stronger, partnership-based response, although not all requests could be satisfied. The Committee raised a further point regarding green spaces, suggesting that the possibility of locking them should be reconsidered due to concerns about drug-related issues. The Officer acknowledged this and confirmed that the matter would be referred back to the Cabinet Member, noting that the decision to unlock green spaces had been made earlier in the year for various reasons. Councillors then queried the proposed panels—the Hillingdon Enforcement Safety Panel and the IOM panel—asking what hard targets would apply to each, such as hotspot resolution times, reduction in repeat victimisation, or reoffending rates, and what baseline measures would be used. It was explained that a new performance framework for anti-social behaviour was being developed, partly driven by requirements from the social housing regulator. This framework would include indicators such as the speed of risk assessment for cases, satisfaction surveys, and resolution times. It was confirmed that this work was in progress and that the Committee would receive details in the next ASB update, including the indicators being collected and performance against them, which would represent an improvement on previous arrangements. Regarding the IOM panel, it ... view the full minutes text for item 119.

Residents’ Services Select Committee – 6 November 2025 Classification: Public RESIDENTS’ SERVICES SELECT COMMITTEE – SAFER HILLINGDON PARTNERSHIP REPORT Committee name Residents’ Services Select Committee Officer reporting Richard Webb, Director of Community Safety and Enforcement Papers with report Appendix A – Safer Hillingdon Partnership Draft Community Safety Strategy Ward All HEADLINES As part of its statutory responsibility to undertake crime and disorder scrutiny, this report provides the Residents’ Services Select Committee with an opportunity to review and comment on the draft Community Safety Strategy for the Borough. RECOMMENDATION That the Residents’ Services Select Committee reviews the draft Community Safety Strategy for the Borough and comments on any matters it would like considered as this Strategy is finalised for approval by the Council. SUPPORTING INFORMATION The Residents’ Services Select Committee acts as a Crime an d Disorder Committee as defined in the Crime and Disorder (Overview and Scrutiny) Regulations 2009 and carries out the bi -annual scrutiny of decisions made, or other action taken, in connection with the discharge by the responsible authorities of their crime and disorder functions. The Community Safety Strategy is a policy framework document – one of the Council’s key strategies - thereby its adoption follows a specified process as set out in the Council’s Constitution. The indicative timetable for this is set out below: Cabinet consideration of consultation draft 23 October 2025 Consultation period 6 weeks Select Committee consideration 6 November 2025 Final draft to Cabinet post-consultation 15 January 2026 Full Council consideration / adoption 26 February 2026 Policy framework documents agreed by Full Council set out the overall strategic framework in which the Cabinet then operates and makes decisions consistent with it. Witnesses Richard Webb, Director of Community Safety and Enforcement and Janice Noble, Head of Safer Communities and Vulnerabilities for Hillingdon Council, will attend the meeting to answer questions relating to the draft Community Safety Strategy. 1. Residents’ Services Select Committee – 6 November 2025 Classification: Public Supporting information The Safer Hillingdon Partnership met on 29th July 2025. At this meeting the Partnership reviewed and approved a draft Community Safety Strategy for the Borough. As the statutory community safety partnership for Hillingdon, the partnership is required to have a community safety strategy which sets out the community safety priorities and the partnership arrangements for working together to reduce crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour in the area. To prepare this strategy and determine local priorities, a strategic assessment was undertaken and considered by the partnership. This assessment profiled crime and anti-social behaviour levels and trends in recent years. In addition, a public survey was undertaken to provide insight into community perceptions of crime and anti -social behaviour and to seek resident and business views on the priorities for the partnership. Key data from the assessment and survey is included in the draft strategy. The draft strategy is included in Appendix A of this paper for the committee to review. The strategy has been approved for consultation by the Council’s Cabinet and will progress for approval by Full Council once the public consultation has concluded, as required by the Council’s Constitution. To ensure that officers are focussing activity on the priorities set out in the Community Safety Strategy, a partnership delivery plan is being developed . The delivery plan will serve as the operational framework for implementing the priorities outlined within the Community Safety Strategy. Each of the key themes withi n the plan will be assigned a Senior Responsible Officer (SRO ). The plan will define the specific actions, timescales and responsibilities required to deliver against the priorities, while providing a structured mechanism for monitoring progress. The delivery plan will also track and evaluate outcomes, ensuring a clear and demonstrable linkage between the strategic objectives set out in Community Safety Strategy and the measurable improvements achieved within our communities. The progres s against the delivery plan will be monitored through the Safer Hillingdon Partnership on a quarterly basis providing transparency, accountability and the opportunity for corrective action where necessary. To support the work on the delivery plan, officers will be introducing two main panels. The first is the Hillingdon Enforcement Safety Panel and the second is Integrated Offender Management Panel. The Hillingdon Enforc ement Safety Panel (HESP) is a multi -agency meeting where stakeholders across the community safety partnership will meet to discuss and resolve complex, high-risk issues, which include a range of place -based risks relating to anti -social behaviour, environmental, waste, and community safety . The panel will be an operational meeting which will feed into the Safer Hillingdon Partnership. The purpose of the meeting is to:  Share information about specific hot spots or high-risk areas.  Increase public safety, whether by early intervention or enforcement.  Problem solve and agree a set of action s to address any environmental issues and put measures in place to increase safety and reduce the risk in specific places whilst ensuring a focus on supporting victims. The second panel is the Integrated Offender Management Pane l (IOM). Th is panel will lead on overseeing partnership activities and service delivery aimed at reducing reoffending by adults (18+), to include those in transition from youth to adult services and the Integrated Offender Management cohort. The IOM Panel aims to understand and address the vulnerability and/or multiple complex Residents’ Services Select Committee – 6 November 2025 Classification: Public needs of people who have offended or are at risk of offending and repeat offending whilst also utilising evidence to understand the causes an d drivers of offending behaviour . It will seek to enhance our existing prevention and early intervention approaches and influence local approaches to reduce crime and make positive change. By introducing the new IOM panel, we will strengthen existing governance and enable more detailed conversations on a key priority area for crime reduction in Hillingdon. It will oversee effective delivery of outcomes with the probation service, Department of Work and Pensions, Mental Health Services and local authority partners. The panel will ensure resources are used efficiently by continually seeking to identify opportunities to align activity with other partnership arrangements across Hillingdon and will feed into the Safer Hillingdon Partnership on a quarterly basis for oversight. The new IOM panel will be introduced once capacity for a coordination resource has been identified. BACKGROUND PAPERS: Cabinet 23 October 2025 – Consideration of Draft Community Safety Strategy

www.hillingdon.gov.uk Hillingdon Community Safety Strategy 2025-2029 DRAFT - Appendix A Contents Foreword by Portfolio Holder 3 Introduction to the Community Safety Strategy 4 Hillingdon Borough (Crime and Disorder highlights and what the communities say) 6 Priority 1 – Safer Neighbourhoods 8 Priority 2 – Violence against Women and Girls 10 Priority 3 – Serious Violence 12 Priority 4 – Preventing Harm and Safeguarding Communities 14 Glossary ? Foreword We are pleased to introduce the Safer Hillingdon Partnership strategy that sets out the priorities for 2025-2028. This strategy forms part of a suite of strategies that ensures Hillingdon residents can enjoy life and fulfil their potential. The Safer Hillingdon Partnership brings together the London Borough of Hillingdon, the Metropolitan Police, National Probation Service, London Fire Brigade, the Integrated Care Board, the Safer Neighbourhood Board, and other stakeholders to collectively work together on local Crime and Disorder challenges. This strategy is based upon the findings of a Strategic Needs Assessment and consultation with the public by means of a Crime and Disorder survey. This survey will be repeated annually to ensure we keep track of public opinion and their views of crime and disorder . We know that community safety issues are changing and becoming more complex, influenced by regional, national, and international developments. We also recognise the emerging challenges of social media that influences all of us, with a need for community safety to adapt in respect of such challenges as well as the opportunities presented by technological developments such as AI. This strategy sets a direction but is designed to be agile and responsive. Its success is dependent upon the commitment and partnership that will maintain Hillingdon as one of London’s safest boroughs. Cllr Eddie Lavery Cabinet Member for Community and Environment 2 3 Under The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 each statutory Community Safety Partnership is required to produce a Community Safety Strategy. This strategy outlines Safer Hillingdon Partnership’s (the Community Safety Partnership for Hillingdon) three-year plan on how we will work to ensuring Hillingdon remains one of the safest boroughs in London. The Safer Hillingdon Partnership is responsible for this strategy through a multi- agency approach and is accountable for its effective implementation. To ensure that the priorities in this strategy are implemented, several workstreams will be established which will report back to the main group. The strategy will be support by a Community Safety Delivery Plan and there will be workstreams in the plan for each priority. Progress will be monitored through quarterly reporting at the Safer Hillingdon Partnership to deliver the best possible outcomes for our residents. Our partnership model cuts across all our community safety priorities and activity will range from working together on targeted initiatives, to information sharing between partners. Working with our residents, communities, local businesses and all our stakeholders will be instrumental in keeping the people of Hillingdon safe from crime and repeat victimisation. In addition, the Safer Hillingdon Partnership has a duty to reduce Serious Violence which was introduced by the Police Crime Sentencing and Courts Act 2022. The Duty requires specified authorities to work together to prevent and reduce serious violence, including identifying the kinds of serious violence that occur in the area and the causes of that violence. Work to deliver against this duty will encompass several other key priorities such as tackling Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG). The strategy will be reviewed on a yearly basis by the Safer Hillingdon Partnership in line with our governance processes. Introduction to the Hillingdon Community Safety Strategy Our priorities The priorities identified by the Partnership are subject to annual review and are listed below. There are inter- relationships between these priorities and all community safety challenges. We will work closely with our Local Safeguarding Partnerships to address not only these priorities, but also to tackle the factors that lead to children and adults being risk and to protect the most vulnerable. Safer Neighbourhoods This priority looks at the types of crime and anti-social behaviour that are most concerning to residents. We will tackle neighbourhood crime issues across the borough as well as focusing on areas of greatest need including localities with elevated levels of crime. We will problem solve long standing issues and be agile to local crime demands, seeking to reduce crime, ASB and improve people’s confidence and feelings of safety. Violence Against Women and Girls VAWG is a having a huge impact on victims, their children, the economy, health services and the criminal justice system. We recognise VAWG is a complex issue with multiple underlying causes including gender inequality, power imbalances and entrenched cultural expectations. The Safer Hillingdon Partnership will work collaboratively to pursue perpetrators of VAWG, support victims and survivors, raise public awareness of available services, and build confidence in accessing them. We will address the environmental and situational factors that contribute to women and girls not feeling safe in our borough. We will work to achieve the necessary cultural changes, as well as ensuring support to those at risk or who survive, and seeking to change harmful attitudes of men and hold perpetrators to account. Our definition includes domestic abuse, acknowledging that men can also be victims and recognising its complex and varied forms. Serious Violence Serious violence, including knife crime, is complex in nature, with multiple linked drivers that include social media, county lines and gangs. We recognise there is not a ‘quick fix’ to the challenge, but a necessity to drive long term change through engagement with young people, securing changes in attitudes and views, whilst also robustly tackling those who perpetrate such acts. We will collaborate with communities, places of education and partners to reduce serious violence and its damaging impact on community confidence and cohesion Preventing Harm and Safeguarding Communities Self-Initiated Terrorism (S-IT) remains the primary terrorist threat in London, driven by both Islamist and extreme right-wing ideologies. Much of this activity involves online dissemination of extremist content, with a growing number of young people self-radicalising. We will strengthen early intervention, disrupt extremist activity, and provide tailored support for vulnerable individuals, including those with mental health conditions or neurodiverse needs. A hate crime is defined as ‘Any criminal offence which is perceived by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by hostility or prejudice based on a person’s race or perceived race; religion or perceived religion; sexual orientation or perceived sexual orientation; disability or perceived disability 4 5 and any crime motivated by hostility or prejudice against a person who is transgender or perceived to be transgender’. Hate crime can have a profound impact on victims’ physical and mental well-being and instil fear across entire communities. Targeted individuals may feel unsafe, unwelcome, and vulnerable to further harm, while affected groups often face broader social and economic disadvantages. We are committed to preventing hate crime, supporting victims, and fostering safer , more inclusive communities. Modern Slavery is a hidden challenge in Hillingdon, taking forms such as sexual exploitation, domestic servitude, forced labour , and criminal exploitation. While not unique to the borough, local concerns include anti-social behaviour linked to the sex industry, exploitation of young people in gangs and serious violence, and the use of properties for criminal purposes, including cuckooing. We are committed to identifying and disrupting all forms of exploitation, protecting victims, and working in partnership to reduce associated harms. Hillingdon borough To determine priority areas of focus, the partnership considers information from a variety of sources that are brought together in a strategic needs assessment. This information includes the legislative framework within which we currently operate, and forthcoming legislation proposed by the government together with statistical information including demographic information on the population and crime data from the police. Below summarises some of the statistical information that has informed this strategy. Population Information The current population of Hillingdon is 319,018, an increase of 2.6% since 2022. Hillingdon has a younger population (aged 0-18) than London and England. There are higher levels of diversity in the south of the borough with wards in the south seeing higher levels of residents from Asian, Black, and mixed heritage. Wards in the south of the borough have higher levels of residents aged under 25 (Uxbridge and Colham & Cowley wards have higher rates due to university accommodation), and higher proportions of females aged under 25 years. Whilst there are differences between the north and south of the borough there are also noticeable differences within the wards in these areas. Wards in the south have higher levels of overcrowding, with up to 20% of households having fewer bedrooms than required (1 or 2 or less than needed). Wards in the south have higher proportions of households with six or more residents. Household size, 2021 0 1000 2000 3000 6 people 7 people 8+ people  North wards  South wards The top concerns from the Hillingdon 2025 Crime and Disorder Survey are: Domestic Burglary Drug Dealing Knife Crime Theft - shoplifting Anti Social Behaviour Crime Levels A Strategic Needs Assessment reports changes in reported crime levels that have been affected by boundary changes and crime recording systems changes. Below shows the direction of reported crime in the year 2024 versus 2023, with the highest crime by volume at the top and lowest volume at the bottom of the table. s All victim- based crime s Violence without injury t Domestic Abuse s Other Theft s Shoplifting t Violence with injury s All crime Non victim based t Theft from a vehicle s Criminal Damage s Theft of / or unauthorised taking of a vehicle s Theft from the person s Burglary residential t Public Alarm or Distress t Domestic Abuse – Violence with injury s Possession of Drugs s Theft Person – mobile phone s Robbery of Personal Property s Sexual Offences t Hate Crime t Racist and Religious Crime s Trafficking of Drugs t Racist Crime The voice of Children and Young People (CYP) CYP through a variety of workshops and survey work expressed concern about knife crime, gangs, and social media. They spoke openly about areas they feel unsafe which also included public transport. They spoke about the need for cleaner environments, more CCTV, knife bins. They expressed a desire to improve trust with the police, social care, and teachers. 6 7 Priority 1: Safer Neighbourhoods and perception of Crime Safer Neighbourhoods includes crimes that include acquisitive crimes such as theft-shoplifting and burglary as well as anti-social behaviour . These crimes tend to be high volume and may affect whole communities, but also negatively impact on individuals. 1. What we will achieve: • Reduced incidents of anti-social behaviour and acquisitive crime. • Communities that feel safer , through use of CCTV and partnership alliances. • A balanced, tiered approach to preventing neighbourhood crime by: - Delivering universal prevention advice and awareness to the wider community. - Implementing targeted interventions for individuals at risk of becoming victims or perpetrators. - Providing intensive support for those at the highest risk Whole- Population Prevention • Carry out public facing prevention and awareness activities. • Implement community-led safety initiatives to empower residents to take a more active role. • Build upon the active Neighbourhood Watch scheme and develop alternative means of communication where NHW is not a preferred medium. • Address environmental factors contributing to crime, such as poor street lighting. • Make effective use of public space and mobile CCTV to prevent, deter and detect crime. • Address environmental factors such as poor lighting, environmental crime such as fly-tipping and littering. • Identified crime hotspots will be managed through the Hillingdon Enforcement and Safety Panel (HESP) and monthly precision crime fighting meeting with police partners. • Collaborate with partners and planning to develop long term aspiration and Visions for Hayes and Uxbridge Town Centre Targeted Early Intervention • Pilot innovative technology solutions, such as AI-enhanced CCTV, for crime prevention and detection. • Make effective use of the borough Public Spaces Protection Order • Adopt problem solving approaches to counterterrorism in terms of focusing on victims, offenders, location and time. • Address the emerging challenges confronting business of theft-shoplifting through partnership prevention initiatives and tackling identified repeat offenders Intensive Support and Risk Management • Ensure clear pathways and support for the most vulnerable to crime and disorder . • Develop the success of the CMARAC to address the vulnerability and risk associated with complex/high demand ASB and crime problems. • Make use of injunctions and the powers conferred through legislation to partially and fully close individual premises and tower blocks. • Ensure the judicious use of legislation in relation to individuals such as CBOs Perpetrators • Identify, deter , and disrupt prolific offenders, ensuring there is an effective approach to Integrated Offender Management (IOM) via introduction of a Reduction of Re-offending Board. • Ensure that vulnerabilities and risk factors of offenders are understood (E.g. substance misuse), and that appropriate support is available/signposted Continuous Improvement • Improve data-driven approaches to identify and address crime hotspots proactively. • Ensure the voice of the community is captured and informs priorities and activities Governance • Collaborate with police and partners to deliver an effective Precision Crime Fighting meeting to robustly address emerging crime and ASB challenges. 3.

Perpetrators • Identify repeat perpetrators and those who present the highest risk, seek to understand their vulnerabilities to provide appropriate support, but disrupt their behaviour and hold them to account. • Provide support for perpetrators who want to change their behaviours and evaluation of this support to identify what works. • Where required in response to identified risks, ensure whole systems partnership approach through ‘serious harm prevention’ meetings. • Identify, deter , and disrupt prolific offenders, ensuring there is an effective approach to Integrated Offender Management (IOM) via introduction of a Reduction of Re-offending Board. Continuous Improvement • Ensure that all homicides and near misses are subject to swift learning exercises focusing on the commission of violent acts. • Seek to ensure the voice of ‘young people’ informs strategy and delivery in the future, supporting the development of forums such as the Hayes Youth Forum (HYF). Governance • Implement a serious violence forum to oversee progress in respect of the serious violence strategy. • Collaborate with police and partners to deliver an effective Precision Crime Fighting meeting to robustly address emerging crime and ASB challenges 2. To action this priority, we will: 12 13 14 15 Priority 4: Preventing Harm and Safeguarding Communities The main terrorist threat to the UK and London is Self-Initiated Terrorism (S-IT), which is unpredictable and often ideologically driven, especially by Islamist extremism. Right-wing extremism also contributes, fuelled by grievances like racism and anti-establishment views. Online radicalisation is rising, especially among youth with increasing CT cases involving individuals with ASD or mental health issues. Hate crime harms victims’ well-being, spreads fear in communities, and makes targeted groups feel unsafe and unwelcome. It can also lead to wider social and economic impacts.

Julia Johnson, Director of Planning and Sustainable Growth, and Andrew Tebbutt, Planning Obligations Team Leader, were in attendance to respond to Members’ questions and requests for clarification in respect of the Infrastructure Funding Statement. Councillors began by asking whether the Council was on target to secure all monies due within the required timeframe, emphasising the importance of avoiding any lapse and ensuring funds were available when needed. The Director of Planning and Sustainable Growth confirmed that monthly meetings were held with the team to review outstanding payments and that a process was in place with legal services to pursue unpaid monies. It was explained that an annual review was conducted through the starts and completions exercise using Council Tax data to identify completed developments, which was then compared against obligations. Monitoring occurred monthly to ensure developers reported commencement and compliance with payment requirements. Members sought reassurance that funds were being spent appropriately and within deadlines to prevent lapses. It was confirmed that a list was maintained for all items approaching the 18-month deadline and that a monthly infrastructure meeting reviewed these proactively. It was stated that no funds had lapsed recently, although there had been close cases involving health projects where collaboration with the NHS was required. In some instances, extensions were requested from developers to avoid issues. The Select Committee asked about the proportion of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) receipts transferred to the Greater London Authority or Transport for London, requesting either a percentage or approximate figure. Members also queried whether the Council could retain a greater share locally or whether this was determined nationally. It was explained that the Council acted as the charging and collecting authority under legislation, retaining an administrative fee of 4%, with the remainder remitted to the Mayor for transport infrastructure. The officer undertook to provide precise figures from the report and confirmed that the 4% fee was the maximum permitted under regulations. A further question concerned progress on updating the system for recording Section 106 contributions and expenditure, which had been discussed at previous meetings. Councillors asked how far back the review had gone and what remained outstanding. It was reported that all current expenditure and receipts were now processed through the system and detailed in the appendix to the Infrastructure Funding Statement. However, historic data was still being migrated from paper files, with progress dependent on team capacity. It was explained that priority was given to securing new monies and spending funds, with backlog reconciliation undertaken as resources allowed. Most categories had been reconciled, but the system was not yet a single definitive source, as spreadsheets were still used for overall positions. Members expressed disappointment at the lack of significant progress, noting that the Committee had discussed this issue for several years. They stressed the importance of understanding the origin of Section 106 monies, the developments generating them, and the projects funded. Officers responded that the appendix listed receipts and expenditure for the current year, although presented by address rather than scheme. ... view the full minutes text for item 120.

Residents’ Services Select Committee – 6 November 2025 Classification – Public Infrastructure Funding Statement 2024-2025 Committee name 0BResidents’ Services Select Committee Officer reporting Andrew Tebbutt Papers with report Statutory Infrastructure Funding Statement 2024-2025 Ward All HEADLINES The Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS) reports information outlining how funding from developer contributions has been collected, allocated and spent to support infrastructure delivery across the Borough in the previous financial year (2024/25). RECOMMENDATIONS That the Select Committee: 1. Notes the contents of the Infrastructure Funding Statement 2024-2025; 2. Provides any comments, if necessary, to Cabinet who will consider this at its meeting on 18 December 2025. SUPPORTING INFORMATION What is an Infrastructure Fund Statement? An Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS) outlines how developer contributions , via the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and Section 106 (S106) agreements , have been collected, allocated, and spent to support infrastructure delivery across the London Borough of Hillingdon. Local planning authorities in England are required to produce an Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS) annually under Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Regulations. This legal obligation applies to any authority that issues CIL liability notices or receives c ontributions through Section 106 agreements. The IFS must be published by 31 December each year and must report on the previous financial year. Its purpose is to ensure transparency and accountability in how developer contributions are collected and spent, covering both CIL and Section 106 planning obligations. What is the Community Infrastructure Levy The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a mandatory charge applied per square metre to new developments in the London Borough of Hillingdon that create one or more new dwellings or over 100 square metres of floorspace. It is set through a Charging Schedule and is payable upon commencement of development. Unlike Section 106 obligations, CIL is non -negotiable and is used to fund infrastructure projects acro ss the Borough, with the spend split into strategic, Residents’ Services Select Committee – 6 November 2025 Classification – Public neighbourhood and administrative expenditure. What is Mayoral Community Infrastructure Levy Mayoral CIL (MCIL) is a similar charge set by the Mayor of London and applied to most new developments across Greater London. It was introduced in 2012 to help finance the Elizabeth Line (Crossrail) and continues to be used to repay debt from that project. In Hillingdon, the Council acts only as the collecting authority, retaining a 4% administration fee, while the remaining funds are transferred to Transport for London (TfL). What are Section 106 Planning Agreements Section 106 (s106) planning agreements are legal agreements made between local authorities and developers as part of the planning permission process. They are used to mitigate the impact of new development on the local community and infrastructure. While CIL is a fixed charge, s106 agreements are negotiated and can include obligations such as affordable housing, local road improvements, or contributions to education and healthcare services. They are particularly used for site-specific mitigation that cannot be addressed through CIL alone. PERFORMANCE DATA Please see the following summarised key data from the IFS 2024/2025 which is attached as an Appendix in full to this report. Further information and commentary are included within the IFS. It has been split into the following three sections:  Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)  Mayor Community Infrastructure Levy (MCIL)  S106 Planning Obligations Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Item 1: Hillingdon CIL Receipts 2024/25 HCIL Income 2024/25 (£) Strategic HCIL (80%) 589,108.07 Neighbourhood HCIL (15%) 110,457.76 Total HCIL admin (5%) 36,819.25 TOTAL HCIL 736,385.09 Residents’ Services Select Committee – 6 November 2025 Classification – Public Item 2: Hillingdon CIL Receipts Previous Financial Years Item 3: Total Hillingdon CIL Expenditure Total Hillingdon CIL Expenditure Total (£) Strategic CIL Platinum Jubilee Leisure Centre 331,246.87 Chrysalis Programme 252,181.39 Total Strategic CIL Expenditure 583,428.26 Neighbourhood CIL Chrysalis Programme 110,457.76 Total Neighbourhood CIL Expenditure 110,457.76 Total HCIL Infrastructure Financing (SCIL + NCIL) 699,565.84 Administration Fee (5%) 36,819.24 Total Hillingdon CIL Expenditure 24/25 730,705.28 Total Hillingdon CIL Receipts 24/25 736,385.09 HCIL not used & Retained (Carried forward to 2025/26) 5,679.81 £- £1,000,000 £2,000,000 £3,000,000 £4,000,000 £5,000,000 £6,000,000 2021/22 2022/23 2023/24 2024/25 HCIL Income by Financial Year Strategic HCIL (80%) Neighbourhood HCIL (15%) Total HCIL admin (5%) Residents’ Services Select Committee – 6 November 2025 Classification – Public Mayor Community Infrastructure Levy (MCIL) Item 4: Mayoral CIL Receipts and Retained Admin Fees MCIL Receipts Amount collected (£) Amount Paid to TFL (£) Admin 4% (£) Q1 79,968.29 76,769.56 3,198.73 Q2 136,784.84 131,313.47 5,471.37 Q3 261,669.77 251,203.00 10,466.77 Q4 88,546.87 85,005.01 3,541.86 Totals 566,969.77 544,291.04 22,678.73 S106 Planning Obligations Item 5: S106 Financial Balances S106 Balances Outturn for the Year 2024/25: (£) Opening S106 Balance 1st April 2024 28,959,000 Total income for the year 2024/251 5,095,000 Total Expenditure for the year 2024/25 5,029,000 Closing S106 Balance 31st March 2025 29,025,000 Interest accrued in 2024/25 258,000 S106 Monitoring Fees 227,000 1 For the purposes of establishing the balance the S106 monitoring fees and interest accrued are removed.

As noted below, the publication of an annual IFS is a legal requirement for any local planning authority that utilises CIL or Section 106 planning obligations to secure new infrastructure. Ensuring that growth in the borough is supported by appropriate investment in local infrastructure is critical to enhancing the quality of life for residents. Residents’ Services Select Committee – 6 November 2025 Classification – Public By directing funding from development contributions, it enables the delivery of facilities and services that meet community needs and improve access to essential amenities. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS) covers the previous financial year and therefore notes the Councils decisions that are already made. No cost implications or new decisions arise from this report. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The requirement to publish an Infrastructure Funding Statement is set out in Regulation 121A of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Regulations 2010 (as amended) , and Part 11 of the Planning Act 2008 . All local planning authorities that i ssue a CIL liability notice or enter into Section 106 planning obligations during a reporting year to publish an IFS at least annually. BACKGROUND PAPERS NIL

The report concludes with commentary on future spend priorities. 1.3 This report consists of the following sections: • Section 2: Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) • Section 3: Section 106 Planning Agreements (S106) • Section 4: Appendices including supporting data for the overall figures Page | 4 SECTION 2: COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY (CIL) INTRODUCTION 2.1 CIL is a levy (chargeable per square metre) on developments which create one new dwelling or create over a 100 square metres of new floorspace. Any charging authority which wishes to charge CIL must produce a Charging Schedule which is subject to independent examination. The purpose of the Charging Schedule is to set out the charges which will apply to different use types. Unlike S106 planning obligations which are negotiated, the rate of CIL payable on a particular type of development is mandatory. CIL payment is due on the commencement of development works. Liabilities of over £250k are payable by instalments and can be paid across more than one financial year. 2.2 More information, including regular updates, about CIL in the London Borough of Hillingdon can be found here: Community Infrastructure Levy - Hillingdon Council 2.3 There are two types of CIL charged in Hillingdon • London Borough of Hillingdon CIL (HCIL) • Mayoral CIL (MCIL). Page | 5 TYPES OF CI L HILLINGDON CIL CHARGING SCHEDULE (HCIL) 2.4 Hillingdon’s CIL (HCIL) was introduced in August 2014. HCIL is a variable charge that applies to specific development types namely residential, offices, hotels, industrial storage and large format retail outside of town centres. In accordance with the CIL Regulation 121C, Hillingdon’s CIL charges are subject to indexation which allows the rates to be adjusted to reflect inflation. 2.5 Table 1 provides the figures for the period 1 January 2025 until 31 December 2025. This will shortly be subject to change in line with the Annual CIL Rate Summary as published at the follow: Community Infrastructure Levy - Hillingdon Council London Borough of Hillingdon CIL Charging rates until 31 December 2025 Table 1 Use Type Charging Schedule Rate 2014 (per sq.m.) Rate including Indexation 2026 (per sq.m.) Large format retail development (A1) greater than 1,000 sq. m, outside of designated town centres £215.00 £215 x 391 / 237 = £354.70 Offices (B1) £35.00 £35.00 x 391 / 237 = £57.74 Hotels (C1) £40.00 £40.00 x 391 / 237 = £65.99 Residential Dwelling Houses (C3) £95.00 £95.00 x 391 / 237 = £156.73 Industrial (B8) £5.00 £5.00 x 391 / 237 = £8.25 All other uses £0.00 £0.00 x 391 / 237 = £0.00 N.B. Rates have been rounded to 2 decimal places so CIL liabilities may differ slightly when calculating using the formula as set out in the CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended). MAYORAL CIL CHARGING SCHEDULE (MCIL) 2.6 Mayoral CIL (MCIL) is a standard charge that applies to most new development across Greater London. It was introduced in 2012 to help finance the Elizabeth Line (Crossrail) and will continue to repay its financing. The GLA has until 31 March 2043 to service this debt. Page | 6 2.7 These charges are set by the Mayor of London and are published on the GLA’s website. Hillingdon acts as the collecting authority only for MCIL and retains a 4% administration fee of all MCIL income collected.

The total value of Demand Notices for HCIL issued during the reported period is £2,531,362.55. This figure represents the value of notices issued within the reporting period that remain valid and have not been suspended or replaced by updated notices issued outside of the reporting period. This is the total value of demand notices that were issued during the reporting period and are still valid — meaning they haven’t been cancelled, paused, or replaced by newer notices issued after the reporting period. These may contain surcharges and late payment interest where the Council have taken enforcement action in line with the CIL regulations. 2.10 The total amount of HCIL collected within the reported period totals £736,385.09. Table 2 provides a breakdown of the HCIL by its three spend categories. It also compares the total amount of HCIL collected in the last financial years for comparison. *Percentages are approximate in accordance with the CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended). 2.11 The amount of HCIL collected in 2024/25 has decreased compared to the previous year by over £1.5 million and almost £4.5 million less than in 2021/22. This downward trend reflects the wider downturn in the construction industry and fewer Table 2 HCIL Income 2024/25 (£) 2023/24 (£) 2022/23 (£) 2021/22 (£) Strategic HCIL (80%) £589,108.07 £2,157,406.31 £2,373,680.94 £5,193,333.12 Neighbourhood HCIL (15%) £110,457.76 £404,513.68 £443,168.75 £1,344,117.22 Total HCIL admin (5%*) £36,819.25 £134,837.86 £148,255.27 £327,884.13 TOTAL HCIL £736,385.09 £2,696,757.85 £2,965,104.96 £6,865.334.47 Page | 7 commencements on CIL liable sites. There has also been a slight increase in the number of developments receiving a full affordable housing exemption as those schemes coming forward are largely those supported by affordable housing grants from the GLA. Figure 1 below demonstrates the current decline in HCIL revenue compared to the past four financial years. 2.12 The full list of developments that provided a HCIL receipt in 2024/25 are detailed in Appendix 1. The largest payments were received from the Northwood Commercial Sales/Autocentre redevelopment on Pinner Road, contributing £99,574.43, and 27 Dene Road in Northwood, which contributed £88,741.30. Other notable schemes included the land adjacent to Whiteheath Junior School in Ruislip (£48,909.06), residential development at 5 & 6 Firs Walk in Northwood (£36,083.90) and the Blackmore Way site in Uxbridge (£30,391.58). These developments consist of small and medium scale residential buildings and this is reflected in the smaller overall total received compared to previous financial years.

These funds are currently delivered through both the Council’s Capital Programme and the Chrysalis Programme. 2.14 CIL is split into two main types: • Neighbourhood CIL (NCIL): This portion (15%) is allocated to support local infrastructure projects that benefit the communities where development has taken place. In Hillingdon, NCIL is spent through the Chrysalis Programme, which focuses on community-led improvements such as parks, public spaces, and local facilities. • Strategic CIL (SCIL): This portion (80%) is used for larger, borough-wide infrastructure projects and is delivered through both the Council’s Capital Programme and the Chrysalis Programme, depending on the nature of the project. 2.15 In line with the CIL Regulations, up to 5% of the total CIL monies collected is used to cover the collecting authority’s costs of administering the levy. Page | 9 2.16 A summary of CIL expenditure for the 2024/25 reporting year is provided in Table 3 below. It should be noted that no funds receipted in the previous financial year (2023/24) were carried forward.

Page | 10 STRATEGIC CIL EXPENDITURE 2.17 The strategic portion of Hillingdon’s CIL expenditure is currently put towards the delivery of the Platinum Jubilee Leisure Centre, a major infrastructure project being delivered through the Council’s Capital Programme. This programme forms part of the Council’s Medium- Term Financial Forecast (MTFF), which is approved by Cabinet and outlines capital expenditure, financing, and receipts over a five-year period. 2.18 The leisure centre is one of several strategic infrastructure priorities identified by the Council to meet the needs of residents, improve access to high-quality community facilities, and support health and wellbeing across the borough. Its delivery reflects the Council’s commitment to investing in projects that provide long-term benefits to the wider community. 2.19 Please note that a portion (£252,181.39) of the Strategic CIL expenditure has also been directed towards the Chrysalis Programme, which is covered below and in Appendix 2. NEIGHBOURHOOD CIL (NCIL) EXPENDITURE 2.20 Neighbourhood CIL funded schemes across the borough are currently delivered through the Chrysalis Programme - local bids are submitted and reviewed to ensure that they meet the funding criteria. In 2024/25, £110,457.76 of NCIL collected was spent on the local schemes in the Chrysalis Programme. Please see Appendix 2 for a full breakdown of schemes funded by the Chrysalis Programme. It is important to note that the Chrysalis Programme is not Figure 3 - The Platinum Jubilee Leisure Centre under construction. Figure 4 - Refurbished bandstand at Barra Hall Park example of project formerly undertaken by the Chrysalis Programme Page | 11 solely funded through Neighbourhood CIL. It is made up of various funding sources, including Strategic CIL (£252,181.39 in FY24/25). • More Information on the Chrysalis Programme can be found here: Chrysalis projects - Hillingdon Council MAYORAL CIL INCOME (MCIL) 2.21 In 2024/25, £566,969.77 was collected in the London Borough of Hillingdon on behalf of Transport for London (TfL). These funds are transferred to the Mayor of London following the deduction of 4% administration charge which is retained by the Council. The total admin fee collected by the London Borough of Hillingdon in the financial year 2024/25 was £22,678.73. Appendix 3 provides the list of developments that have provided a MCIL receipt in the relevant period. 2.22 Please find a summary table of the Mayoral CIL for the 2024/25 financial year below: Table 4 MCIL Receipts Amount collected (£) Amount Paid to TFL (£) Admin 4% (£) Q1 79,968.29 76,769.56 3,198.73 Q2 136,784.84 131,313.47 5,471.37 Q3 261,669.77 251,203.00 10,466.77 Q4 88,546.87 85,005.01 3,541.86 Totals 566,969.77 544,291.04 22,678.73 FUTURE CIL SPEND PRIORITIES STRATEGIC CIL 2.23 As noted above, the Council’s strategic CIL receipts have historically been used to fund the new West Drayton Leisure Centre. This was approved as part of the 2024/25 budget. The new West Drayton Leisure Centre is retained within the latest budget for 2025/2026 and will likely require further strategic CIL receipts. 2.24 For the period beyond this project, the Council is currently producing an Infrastructure Development Plan (IDP) related to growth targets within the Development Plan. This work is being undertaken in coordination with a review of both the Local Plan and Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). Any spend will need to Page | 12 be aligned with the definition of strategic infrastructure as set out in the CIL Regulations. NEIGHBOURHOOD CIL 2.25 As noted above, the Council’s neighbourhood CIL receipts have historically been used to part fund the Chrysalis Programme, which is also funded from other sources. 2.26 In the future, the Council will explore an option of funding dedicated Area Regeneration officers to support local community-focused projects and initiatives. The officers will identify local priorities, engage with local stakeholders and residents and will programme manage the delivery of projects and initiatives that support the infrastructure needs of the local area. Additional funding left from NCIL will go towards project delivery subject to sufficient receipts. Page | 13 SECTION 3: SECTION 106 (S106) INTRODUCTION 3.1 S106 agreements are used to mitigate the impact of development and to ensure that Hillingdon’s planning policy requirements, as set out in the Development Plan and Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document are met. S106 obligations include: • Site specific financial contributions for defined purposes such as air quality mitigation or carbon offset payments. • The provision of on-site affordable housing. • Other non-financial obligations including requirements such as construction training and travel plans. More information about planning obligations can be found here: Planning obligations - Hillingdon Council SECTION 106 (S106) AGREEMENTS SIGNED 3.2 During the 2024/25 financial year, a total of 45 new legal agreements were signed to deliver specific financial and non-financial obligations as set out in the relevant planning legal agreements. Of these 45 legal agreements, 9 were variations to existing agreements secured through a Deed of Variation. The list of sites with legal agreements signed in 2024/25 is provided in Appendix 4. 3.3 The 45 legal agreements previously mentioned contained 219 non-financial covenants and 112 financial obligations. The list of non-financial and financial covenants secured in the 2024/25 financial year can be found in Appendix 5 and 6 respectively. 3.4 The total value of new financial planning obligations agreed during the reported year is £7,685,269.41. It should be noted that planning obligations are typically secured with indexation in the agreement, which is normally applied when the money becomes due. Therefore, these sums will change on payment. Some amounts will also be determined in line with a technical study to be reviewed or a trigger point at a future date and therefore are not included within this figure. Page | 14 3.5 Table 5 below shows a breakdown of these contributions as categorised in accordance with the national standardised categories provided in National Planning Practice Guidance for Community Infrastructure Levy (Paragraph: 179). It is recognised that there is potential for a contribution or project to overlap between some of the categories. For the purpose of recording the intended purpose of the contribution or project, in has been recorded under the main intended purpose. Advice has also been followed in terms of categorisation based on guidance from the Planning Advisory Service (PAS): (Infrastructure Funding Statements | Local Government Association). 3.6 The largest category is ‘Other’ and includes contributions towards Air Quality improvements and Carbon Offsetting, which total £2,470,162 and £718,699 respectively.

During this period, the Council received just over £5 million in new S106 contributions and expended a similar amount on eligible projects. As such, the amount of S106 funds held by the Council has grown by a small amount only. Further detail on the contributions received, allocations made, and expenditure incurred is provided in the subsequent sections of this report.

Figures rounded to nearest 1,000. 3.8 It is important to note that the balance of £29,025,000 consists of £9,219,000 that is already allocated towards projects. This figure includes funds that are earmarked for projects that will be delivered by the NHS and security bonds in the event a legal obligation is unfulfilled. Noting the above, the amount available to be allocated towards new projects is £19,046,898 and work has commenced in the financial year 2025/26 to allocate these funds. SECTION 106 FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED 3.9 In the 2024/25 financial year, the Council received a total of £5.32 million in Section 106 financial contributions (including S106 Monitoring Fees), representing an increase from the £4.8 million received in 2023/24. These contributions are again categorised in accordance with the national standardised categories provided in National Planning Practice Guidance for Community Infrastructure Levy (Paragraph: 179). 3.10 Table 7 below provides a summary of the financial contributions received by each infrastructure category: Table 7 S106 Received by Category Amount (£) Affordable housing 287,682.26 Bonds (held or repaid to developers) 40,000.00 Community facilities 13,863.73 Digital infrastructure 0.00 Education 234,745.08 Flood and water management 0.00 Page | 16 Green infrastructure 16,260.14 Health 323,938.71 Highways 1,475,156.17 Land 0.00 Open space and leisure 621,086.59 Section 106 monitoring charges 227,391.46 Transport and travel 117,096.71 Other 1,964,281.24 Total £5,321,502.09 3.11 The largest category is ‘Other’ and includes receipted contributions towards Air Quality improvements and Carbon Offsetting, which total £1,685,314.27 and £115,099.73 3.12 In addition, £258,421.77 of interest accrued from S106 receipts is being held in interest bearing accounts.

The specific items of infrastructure funded and the amounts spent are set out in full in Table 9 below. 3.15 The largest single item of expenditure this year was the decarbonisation of Hillingdon Civic Centre, which included the installation of heat pumps and secondary glazing to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions (See Appendix 8 for Case Study). Other notable items of expenditure included significant investment in the Council’s Affordable Housing Delivery Programme and enhancements to Minet Country Park. A range of public realm and active travel improvements were also delivered across the Borough, including towpath upgrades along the Grand Union Canal (Figure 5), pedestrian and cycle infrastructure on Dawley Road and wayfinding schemes in Yiewsley, West Drayton and Hayes.

Total £5,029,416.52* *Figure subject to rounding as per the Council planning obligations system. Page | 21 3.16 No planning obligation money was spent on repaying borrowed funds or interest during the reported year. This section is included in line with regulatory reporting requirements, which require authorities to disclose any use of planning obligation funds for loan repayments, even if no such expenditure has taken place. 3.17 The amount of planning obligation money spent in respect of administration of planning obligations and monitoring in relation to the delivery of planning obligations during the reported year was £227,391.46. 3.18 In the short term, future spending will be directed by the £9,219,000 of allocations that have already been agreed. This includes £3,845,000 that was allocated this year and is detailed in Table 8. The Council is also producing an Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) which seeks to coordinate infrastructure delivery associated with the strategic growth policies in the Development. This will be published alongside the next public consultation of the Local Plan. Figure 7 - Hillingdon Civic Centre Decarbonisation Project Figure 6 – Minet Country Park Improvements Page | 22 SECTION 106 NON -FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS 3.19 Non-financial obligations refer to mitigation measures secured through Section 106 agreements that are typically delivered directly by the developer, either on-site or off- site. These obligations do not involve financial payments but instead contribute directly to the delivery of infrastructure, services, or community benefits as part of the planning process. 3.20 The types of non-financial obligations negotiated via S106 agreements by the Council include, but are not limited to: • On-site delivery of affordable housing units • Provision of construction training and apprenticeship opportunities • Delivery of highways improvements and public realm enhancements (including specifying works to be carried out via highway agreements) • Implementation of travel plans to promote sustainable transport • Application of parking permit restrictions to manage local parking demand. 3.21 These measures play a vital role in ensuring that development is sustainable, inclusive, and aligned with local priorities.

Page | 23 AFFORDABLE HOUSING 3.22 During the reporting year, affordable housing was secured through a S106 agreement on four schemes. The schemes are shown below: Reference Site Name Low-Cost Rent Intermediate Housing 24843/APP/2022/2403 Tavistock Works (COMAG) Site, West Drayton 14 8 76795/APP/2023/2503 Land at Yiewsley Library and Former Yiewsley Pool, Falling Lane 95 585/APP/2024/1558 Land off Thompson Road and St Luke's Road, Uxbridge 72 12795/APP/2021/1584 Murray Engineering Site, Hayes 5 2 Total 186 10 3.23 During the reporting year, 220 affordable housing units were completed on four different schemes that were secured via S106 agreements. The schemes are shown below: Reference Site Name Low-Cost Rent Intermediate Housing 1331/APP/2019/2314 Former Nestle Factory Site, Hayes 5 109 585/APP/2024/1558 Land Off Thompson Road and St Luke’s Road, Uxbridge 72 43762/APP/2018/396 Former Maple and Poplar Site, Yeading 17 17 Total 94 126 3.24 It should be noted that affordable housing units will also have been secured via other methods during this period that would not have been subject to S106 agreements (e.g. Right to Buy-back) and therefore total overall delivery as reported elsewhere will be higher or different. For example, the Former Maple and Poplar Site secures 17 intermediate rented units, but grant funding secured by the Council has ensured this is being delivered as London Affordable Rent (LAR), which has lower rents. As this report reflects S106 agreements only, this has been kept as 17 intermediate units.

Daniel Ferrer, Licensing Team Manager, was in attendance to respond to Members’ questions and requests for clarification in relation to the Statement of Licensing Policy. In response to Members’ requests for an update on the status of the consultation, it was explained that the consultation had closed on Monday after a six-week period. Initially, seven comments had been received, but this number had increased to ten. A full report was scheduled to be presented to Cabinet on 18 December. Among the responses, three had come from responsible authorities: the anti-social behaviour team, the food health and safety team, and the immigration team. These responses primarily sought clarification on contact details and provided helpful guidance. The remaining seven responses had been submitted through the survey, which had been managed in collaboration with the customer engagement team. It was noted that some comments highlighted unclear information and possible technical issues with accessing details. Resident concerns largely focused on enforcement, echoing themes previously discussed in the Licensing Committee. It was confirmed that the enforcement section of the licensing policy had remained unchanged, as had the provisions on processing and fees. Proactive and risk-weighted inspections continued to be carried out, and complaints or referrals from responsible authorities were addressed promptly. The Committee commended the quality of the report, acknowledging the effort invested and praising the inclusion of modern clauses such as the “Ask Angela” initiative. Councillors also welcomed the incorporation of the agent of change principle, explaining that developers, rather than long-standing pubs, should bear responsibility for soundproofing when new developments were built nearby. The Licensing Team Manager expressed appreciation for these comments and explained that the licensing taskforce, established by the government, had encouraged modernisation. Members were informed confirmed that both the Ask Angela initiative and the agent of change principle were specifically mentioned in national recommendations, and the Council aimed to remain aligned with best practice and other boroughs undertaking similar reviews. Councillors enquired how the level of response compared to previous consultations. It was stated that engagement appeared slightly better than before, noting that earlier consultations had sometimes attracted only two comments from responsible authorities. The Licensing Team Manager credited improvements to the involvement of the customer engagement and web teams, which had enhanced accessibility and produced charts for inclusion as annexes in the Cabinet report. He emphasised a desire for greater engagement and reiterated that all comments were valued and would inform changes to the licensing policy where appropriate. Councillors observed that efforts to promote the consultation had been visible on social media and queried whether similar promotion had occurred elsewhere. It was confirmed that outreach had extended to stakeholders, responsible authorities, and neighbouring boroughs, stressing that the legal process was an essential component of consultation. Additional detail had been provided in areas such as safeguarding children to ensure clarity for the licensing trade, residents, and Committee Members. It was explained that practical solutions had been incorporated based on issues encountered over the past five years, including closer consideration of ... view the full minutes text for item 121.

Introduction & Background 1.1. Hillingdon is the second largest of London’s 33 Boroughs. More than half of Hillingdon's 42 square miles is made up of countryside, including canals, rivers, parks and woodland. It shares its borders with Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hounslow, Ealing, a nd Harrow. In addition to Heathrow Airport, Hillingdon is also home to the RAF airport at RAF Northolt. 1.2. As of 2025, the London Borough of Hillingdon has an approximate population of 304,800 residents. The Borough is made up of a total of 21 Wards which is shown in Appendix H of this Policy. 1.3. The London Borough of Hillingdon is the Licensing Authority under the Licensing Act 2003 and is responsible for the administration and enforcement of the provisions relating to: • Alcohol sales/supplies • Regulated Entertainment • Late Night Refreshment 1.4. The London Borough of Hillingdon currently has approximately 900850 premises authorisations in force and 52004100 personal licences held by individuals. 2. Policy Statement 2.1. The Licensing Authority exercises a range of responsibilities , including helping to develop a thriving food, drink and entertainment economy whilst safeguarding the local community against issues which may arise from licensed premises. 2.2. The London Borough of Hillingdon is required by Section 5 of the Licensing Act 2003 (“the 2003 Act”), to determine and publish a statement of licensing policy at least once every five years. The Licensing Policy will provide the Licensing Authority with the fundamental principles in respect of carrying out its licensing functions. 2.3. The Policy is also intended to inform applicants, residents and other stakeholders about the way in which the Licensing Authority will make decisions and the operating standards expected from licensed premises in accordance with the licensing objectives. 2.4. In determining its policy, the Council will take into account the Secretary of State's Guidance issued under Section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 (last updated on 27th February 2025 24th April 2018). 2.5. In respect of all licensing functions and determination of any licensing policy, the Council has a duty to promote the four licensing objectives: Policy Page 3 • The prevention of crime and disorder; • The protection of children from harm; • The prevention of public nuisance; and • Public safety. Each objective is of equal importance. 2.6. Determining and publishing a statement of its policy is a licensing function and so the Licensing Authority must have regard to the Guidance issued under Section 182 of the 2003 Act. The Licensing Authority may depart from this policy if the individual circumstances of any case merit such a decision in the interests of the promotion of the licensing objectives. However, if this is done then the Licensing Authority shall give full reasons for departing from its policy. 3. Consultation 3.1. In reviewing the Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy, the Council sought observations and comments from the following persons, organisations and groups and their comments have been incorporated into this policy where relevant: • Chief Officer of Police for Hillingdon • London Fire Brigade • Chief Planning Officer • Hillingdon Safeguarding Children Board • Health and Safety Executive and Hillingdon’s Health and Safety Enforcement Team • Public Health • Trading Standards • Enforcing Authority for Public Nuisance (Environmental Protection Team) • Bodies representing holders of current authorisations • Resident's Associations • Ward Members • Hillingdon’s Anti-Social Behaviour Investigations Team • Transport for London (TfL) • The London boroughs of Hounslow, Harrow, Ealing • The borough councils of South Bucks, Three Rivers, Spelthorne, Slough • Hillingdon Arts Council • Individuals who have requested a copy of the draft policy. • Home Office - Immigration Policy Page 4 4. General Principles and the Role of the Licensing Authority 4.1. The role of the Licensing Authority is to ensure control of the licensable activities at licensed premises, qualifying clubs, temporary events and the conduct of the personnel involved with the licensable activities as required under the 2003 Act. 4.2. Conditions attached to the Premises Licences and Club Premises Certificates granted by the Licensing Authority will relate to the licensing objectives and matters over which the Premises Licence Holder or Club Management Committees have direct control. 4.3. The focus will be on the licensed premises and the activities in the vicinity of those premises. Those activities , on licensed premises , that have a direct impact on members of the public living, working or engaged in normal activities in the area , fall within the scope of the licensing regime. 4.4 Anti-social behaviour of patrons in and around a licensed premises and disturbance or nuisance which can be proved to be emanating from particular premises, will be a consideration for the Licensing Authority in its enforcement and decision-making role. 5. Integration of Strategies and avoidance of duplication 5.1. Many people and organisations are involved with, or affected by, the ways in which licensed premises are operated. Most are involved, directly or indirectly, in the promotion of the licensing objectives, particularly those relating to the prevention of cri me and disorder and public nuisance. Amongst the various stakeholders there will be a wide range of strategies that relate to, or are influenced by, the exercise of the Council’s licensing function. 5.2. The Licensing Authority recognises that this Policy does not operate in isolation. The Licensing Authority will seek to integrate its approach with a range of local strategies and initiatives that support the promotion of the licensing objectives and the wider public interest. These include, but are not limited to: • Uxbridge Town Centre Vision – detailing a long term plan for more opportunities for local residents and businesses and to ensure Uxbridge continues to thrive. • Public Spaces Protection Order 2025, May 2025 (PSPO) – addressing anti-social behaviour in designated areas. • Public Health Strategies – reducing alcohol -related harm and promoting community wellbeing. Policy Page 5 • Community Safety and Policing Strategies – tackling crime, disorder, and safeguarding concerns. • Local Planning and Regeneration Frameworks – ensuring consistency between licensing and land use planning. • Youth and Vulnerability Strategies – protecting children and vulnerable adults from harm. The Licensing Authority will work collaboratively with responsible authorities, local partnerships, and community stakeholders to ensure that licensing decisions contribute positively to these wider aims. 5.3. The Licensing Authority recognises the need to avoid, so far as possible, duplication with other regulatory regimes. Some regulations, however, do not cover the unique circumstances of some licensable activities. The Licensing Authority will consider attaching conditions to Premises Licences and Club Premises Certificates where ;: these are appropriate, reasonable and proportionate for the promot ion of the licensing objectives; these are not already provided for in any other legislation ; these are not contained within the applicant’s operating schedule; and if there are relevant representations 5.4. The Licensing Committee will be prepared to accept reports from other relevant departments of the Council regarding the state of the borough. These reports may include contributions from those responsible for the promotion of tourism, cultural development, planning, transport, reduction of crime or anti-social behaviour, community safety, social, and health and community development. This should enable the various agencies or departments with their own strategies, aims and objectives to keep the Licensing Committee aware of the wider picture in pursuance of the licensing objectives. 5.5. Planning and public nuisance legislation carry the highest risk of duplication within the Licensing regime. While licence conditions should not duplicate other statutory provisions, licensing authorities and licensees should be mindful of requirements and responsibilities placed on them by other legislation. Relevant legislation may include the following: • The Gambling Act 2005 • The Environmental Protection Act 1990 • The Noise Act 1996 • The Clean Neighbourhoods and Environmental Act 2005 • The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 • The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 • The Equality Act 2010 • The Immigration Act 2016 • Regulators’ Code under the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 Policy Page 6 Planning 5.6. The licensing function is and should remain distinct from the Planning process. It will be for the planning process to determine land /building use decisions and the marketplace to determine need for particular types of premises/activities. Licensing decisions will be made with regard to the furtherance of the Licensing Objectives with regard to the particular use sought. However, it is strongly recommended that applicants ensure that: • The proposed licensable activities do not contravene planning legislation; and • The hours sought are within the limits authorised by any planning permission. 5.7. Whilst licensing and planning functions are distinct and operate under separate legislative frameworks, licensing committees are not bound by decisions made by planning committees, and vice versa. Nevertheless, in accordance with Government guidance and best practice, the Licensing Authority will seek to engage in constructive dialogue with planning counterparts. This collaborative approach aims to promote consistency in decision - making, particularly in relation to the design of licensed premises and operating hours. 5.8. The Licensing Authority recognises the ‘Agent of Change’ principle. This principle places the responsibility for mitigating the impact of new development on the party introducing the change. For instance, if a residential development is proposed near an existing licensed premises (such as a late-night entertainment premises), it is the responsibility of the developer — not the venue — to ensure that appropriate noise mitigation measures are in place. The Licensing Authority will work closely with the Council’s Planning, Environmental Protection and Anti -Social Behaviour Teams to ensure a joined-up approach to managing noise and other potential conflicts between new developments and existing licensed premises. Applicants for new developments near licensed premises are encouraged to engage early with both planning and licensing authorities to address potential impacts. The Licensing Authority recognises that this principle helps protect the cultural and economic value of established venues while ensuring that new developments are appropriately designed to coexist with their surroundings. Policy Page 7 Enforcing Authority for Public Nuisance 5.9. The Environmental Protection Unit is charged with enforcing regulations relating to Public Nuisance and is also a responsible authority for Public Nuisance matters under the 2003 Act. 5.10. It is accepted that the Licensing Authority will often work hand in hand with the Environmental Protection Unit where nuisance related issues occur at licensed premises. Whilst the Licensing Authority has a duty to uphold the prevention of public nuisance, it should be recognised that this duty will not replace the Licensing Authority’s responsibilities under other legislation. 6. Partnership Working and Initiatives 6.1. The Licensing Authority encourages work between the Licensing Authority, relevant authorities such as Police, Environmental Health, and Trading Standards, and the licence holder themselves in order to solve licensing problems and to promote the licensing objectives. 6.2. Groups representing licence holders are encouraged to participate in their local crime and disorder reduction partnerships, such as Pubwatch schemes. 6.3. The Licensing Authority has a duty to work with all partners in order to deliver the promotion of the licensing objectives. Business Improvement Districts 6.4. The Licensing Authority support and encourage further developments for Business Improvement Districts (BID 's) where partnership arrangements and joint responsibility are formed with local businesses and stakeholders . BID 's can play an important and positive role in discussing and tackling local issues and they have the ability to put forward appropriate schemes that are of benefit to the community. More information on BID’s can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/business-improvement- districts-guidance-and-best-practice Best Bar None 6.5. The Licensing Authority recognise the value of the Best Bar None Scheme in improving standards in the Evening and Night Time Economy. For example, they reduce alcohol related crime and disorder, build positive relationships between the licensed trade, police and local authorities and responsible owners are recognised and able to share good practice with others. Furthermore, they promote the town or city as a safe and vibrant city to go at night and shows a willingness to address alcohol related crime and anti- social behaviour through the promotion of good practice and education. Policy Page 8 More information on Best Bar None can be found at: https://bbnuk.com Purple Flag 6.6. The Licensing Authority acknowledge that that Purple Flag status, an accreditation recognising a well managed night time economy, can bring real benefits which include: • A raised profile and an improved public image for the location • A wider patronage, increased expenditure • Lower crime and anti-social behaviour • A more successful mixed use economy in the longer term More information on Purple Flag can be found at: https://www.atcm.org/purple-flag 7. Environmental Best Practice 7.1. The Licensing Authority recognises the importance of promoting environmental sustainability and encourages licence holders and applicants to adopt environmentally responsible practices. These may include andbut are not limited to: • Reducing single -use plastics, especially in drinkware and packaging • Managing waste responsibly such as implementing recycling and waste separation schemes • Minimising energy and water consumption • Sourcing products locally and sustainably • Carrying out food waste reduction measures 8. Equality Duty 8.1. The Licensing Authority have a public sector equality duty in relation to the following protected characteristics: • Age • Disability • Sex • Gender reassignment • Sexual orientation • Pregnancy and maternity • Race • Religion or belief Commented [AD1]: Marriage and civil partnership is not listed as a relevant protected characteristic for the purposes of s.149 of the Equality Act. Policy Page 9 8.2. Under Section 149 of the Equality Act 20210 (S.149) a Public Authority must, in the exercise of its functions, have due regard to the need to:- (a) eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited under the 2010 Act (b) advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it (c) foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it 8.3. The Licensing Authority has considered the Equality and Diversity issues that may arise from the Policy . The L icensingocal Authority considers that this policy does not raise any concerns with regards to equality and diversity. 9. Immigration Act 9.1. Following the implementation of the Immigration Act 2016, the Licensing Authority will ensure that the “Entitlement to Work” test is checked and scrutinised for Personal Licence Holders and individual Premises Licence Holders, where the Premises Licence permits the sale of alcohol or late night refreshment. 9.2. Where an individual holding a Premises Licence within the Borough ceases to be entitled to work in the United Kingdom on or after 6 th April 2017, the Premises Licence lapses immediately , and will lapse completely unless transferred or an Interim Authority is lodged within 28 days of when the individual’s right to work ended. 9.3. A Personal Licence issued by the Licensing Authority will lapse when an individual is no longer entitled to work in the United Kingdom on or after 6th April 2017. 9.4. The Licensing Authority will work closely with the Home Office Immigration Enforcement (HIOE) as a Responsible Authority. The Licensing Authority will advise the HIOE where applicants have committed immigration offences and furthermore provide the HIOE assistance when entering and carrying out their enforcement duties at licensed premises within the Borough. 9.5. From 1 st July 2021, EEA citizens and their family members are required to demonstrate lawful immigration status in the UK in order to prove their right to work. An EEA passport or national identity card alone is no longer sufficient , as these documents confirm nationality but not immigration status. The Licensing Authority shall ensure that applicants provide appropriate evidence of their right to work in the UK, in line with Home Office requirements applicable to all foreign nationals. Policy Page 10 The Licensing Authority shall treat all applicants in the same way during the application process and shall not discriminate against anyone. The Licensing Authority shall ensure that the process will be carried out in a fair, transparent and consistent way. 10. Modern Day Slavery 10.1. The Licensing Authority acknowledges the implementation of the Modern Day Slavery Act 2015 and will therefore fully take on their responsibilities and statutory duties under the 2015 Act 10.2. This Licensing Authority recognises the role it can play in proactively preventing modern slavery, which includes consideration of:- • Identification and referral of victims during inspections and visits • Reporting and referring for investigation via the National Crime Agency’s national referral mechanism any of its licence holders or managers of premises as a cause for concern • Assisting partners with Ccommunity safety services and disruption activities. 11. Counter- Terrorism 11.1. Applicants for premises licences are encouraged to consider: • Undertaking a terrorism threat risk assessment to ensure that any security related concerns are identified and, appropriate reasonable and proportionate steps are taken to reduce any risks from a terrorist attack, and • Undertaking an ACT security plan, including completion of a preparedness plan, information sharing and training. 11.2. More relevant information and advice regarding counter - terrorism measures can be found on the Protect UK Website: www.protectuk.police.uk 12. Licensing Objectives - The Prevention of Crime and Disorder 12.1. Licensed premises, especially those offering late night/early morning entertainment, alcohol and refreshment, can be a source of crime and disorder. The Licensing Authority will expect operating schedules to satisfactorily address these issues from the des ign of the premises through to the daily operation of the business. Applicants are recommended to seek advice from the Police Licensing Officer and Licensing Authority Officers prior to making any application as early advice can alleviate representations b eing made once an application is Policy Page 11 submitted. Full contact details for both are contained within the Responsible Authorities contact in aAppendix BF. 12.2. Applicants should, where appropriate, take account of local planning and transport policies, and tourism, cultural and crime prevention strategies, when preparing their operating plans and schedules. 12.3. Where a number of premises may be in close proximity it may be difficult to attribute the disorder to patrons of particular premises, however there is a duty on Premises Licence Holders or Club Management Committees to act responsibly to ensure their own customers do not contribute to crime and disorder whilst in their premises and in the vicinity of their premises. 12.4. When addressing crime and disorder, the applicant should identify any particular issues that are likely to affect adversely the promotion of the crime and disorder objective. They should then include in the operating schedule how they will deal with those matters. 12.5. Operating schedules should then show how they will address the issues identified. Further guidance on these measures is contained in Appendix B. 12.6. Applications referred to the Licensing Sub -Committee where relevant representations have been received will be determined on the individual merit of each case. The Licensing Sub -Committee has the power to impose specific conditions when considered appropriate in respect of the Crime and Disorder objective. 12.7. The Council’s Licensing Officers will work closely with the Metropolitan Police Service to ensure licence conditions are met , matters relating to crime and disorder are resolved , and that licensed premises are being operated according to the requirements of the 2003 Act. 12.8. Following the grant of a premises licence, the Metropolitan Police Service, Elected Members and/or interested parties such as local residents and Ward Councillors can apply to the Licensing Author ity for a review of the licence if they consider that the Prevention of Crime and Disorder objective has not been met and are is relevant. 12.9. When making decisions about an application the Licensing Sub - Committee will have regard to the Borough’s Crime Prevention Strategy and any conditions attached to licences or certificates will so far as possible reflect local crime prevention strategies 12.10. High risk or poorly managed premises will be subject to a higher frequency of inspections than low risk and well managed premises. Some of these inspections will be unannounced and conducted whilst the premises are in use for the purpose of the licence. 12.11. In the interest of public order and the prevention of terrorism, the Licensing Authority would expect that for significant events, a Policy Page 12 comprehensive risk assessment is undertaken by premises licence holders to ensure that crime and disorder and public safety matters are identified and addressed. Accordingly, for premises that wish to stage promotions, or events ( see examples set out in Appendix B), the Licensing Authority recommends those applicants address the Risk Assessment and debrief processes in their operating schedule. 12.12. The Licensing Authority strongly encourages applicants to carry out a detailed and thorough risk assessment when carrying out promotions or events. Where the risk assessment identifies significant risks for an event or promotion then the Licensing Authorit y would normally expect the applicant to consult with the Police and the Licensing Authority. 12.13. Personal Licence applicants will have to meet specific standards with regard to their suitability. There are a number of obligations on Personal Licence Holders , including those who are named as Designated Premises Supervisors, the breach of which could mean appearing before the Magistrates Court. 12.14. Spiking — whether through the addition of drugs or alcohol to a person's drink or through other means — is a serious criminal offence and poses significant risks to public safety. The Licensing Authority expect relevant licensed premises such as late -night venues to take proactive steps to prevent and respond to incidents of spiking. These may include: • Staff training to identify signs of spiking and respond appropriately • Clear signage informing patrons about the risks of spiking and encouraging vigilance • Availability of drink covers or testing kits, where appropriate • Robust incident reporting procedures, including liaison with police and local safeguarding teams • Safe spaces or welfare areas for individuals who may be vulnerable or affected Where appropriate and proportionate the Licensing Authority may consider imposing specific conditions to ensure the licensing objectives are being fully promoted. 12.15. The Licensing Authority supports initiatives such as “Ask For Angela” and similar schemes as part of its commitment to promoting the licensing objectives. “Ask for Angela” is a nationally recognised safeguarding initiative that enables individuals who feel unsafe, vulnerable, or threatened in licensed premises to discreetly seek help. By approaching staff and asking for “Angela,” trained personnel are alerte d to provide assistance. This support may include :: escorting the individual to a safe space, contacting venue security or emergency services, Policy Page 13 reuniting them with friends or family and /or arranging safe transport home. The Licensing Authority encourages relevant licences premises to: • Display “Ask For Angela” posters prominently • Ensure staff receive Welfare and Vulnerability Engagement (WAVE) training • Include the scheme in their operating schedules • Maintain clear procedures for recording and responding to safeguarding concerns • The Licensing Authority may consider the adoption of the “Ask for Angela” scheme as a condition of licence where appropriate and proportionate, particularly for venues operating late at night. 13. Licensing Objectives - Public Safety 13.1. The Licensing Act 2003 Act covers a range of premises and activities, including cinemas, concert halls, theatres, nightclubs, public houses, cafes/restaurants and fast food outlets/takeaways. Each of these types of premises present s a mixture of risks to public safety, with many common to most premises and others unique to specific operations. It is essential that premises are constructed or adapted and operated so as to acknowledge and safeguard occupants against these risks. 13.2. The Licensing Authority will expect operating schedules to satisfactorily address these issues and applicants are advised to seek advice from the Borough’s Licensing Officers and the London Fire Brigade (contact details can be found in aAppendix F), before preparing their plans and schedules. Where an applicant identifies an issue relating to public safety (including fire safety) that is not covered by existing legislation, the applicant should identify in their operating schedule the steps that they will take to ensure public safety. Where representations are received and upheld at a hearing, the Licensing Authority will consider attaching conditions to licences and permissions to promote safety. 13.3. Appendix C provides a list of examples of measures to promote Public Safety. 13.4. If relevant representations are received from a Responsible Authority, Elected Members or interested parties the application will be determined by a Licensing Sub-Committee. 13.5. Applications referred to the Licensing Sub-Committee will be determined on the individual merit of each case. The Licensing Sub-Committee have the power to impose specific conditions when considered necessary in respect of the Public Safety objective. Policy Page 14 13.6. Following the grant of a premises licence, the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority, Elected Members and/or the Enforcing Authority within the meaning given by section 18 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and/or interested parties such as local residents and businesses can apply to the Licensing Authori ty for a review of the licence if they consider that the Public Safety objective has not been met. 13.7. The Licensing Authority's Licensing Officers will conduct inspections of licensed premises to ensure that the approved safety standards are being maintained and that licence conditions are being complied with. 13.8. High risk or poorly managed premises will therefore be subject to a higher frequency of inspections than low risk and well managed premises. Some of these inspections will be unannounced and conducted whilst the premises are in use for the purpose of the licence. 13.9. The Council’s Licensing Officers, Fire Safety Officers and Health & Safety Officers will work closely together to resolve matters relating to public safety in licensed premises. 14. Licensing Objectives - The Prevention of Public Nuisance 14.1. Licensing Sub - Committees will be mindful that licensed premises, especially those operating late at night and in the early hours of the morning, can cause a range of nuisances impacting on people living, working or sleeping in the vicinity of the premises. When addressing public nuisance, the applicant should identify any particular issues that are likely to affect adversely the promotion of the licensing objective to prevent public nuisance. They should then include in the operating schedule how they will deal with those matters. The conc erns mainly relate to noise nuisance from within the premises or from the use of any outside areas, light pollution, smoke and noxious smells. This may also include patrons outside a premises and the dispersal of customers. Due regard will be given to the impact these may have and the Licensing Authority will expect operating schedules to satisfactorily address these issues. 14.2. Appendix D provides a list of examples of activities which could give riserelevant issues relating to public nuisance and measures which canconsiderations to be taken made to prevent such nuisance occurring. 14.3. Applicants should give particular consideration to measures to reduce the occurrence of public nuisance associated with accommodating smokers outside the premises , following the introduction of smoke free areas in enclosed or substantially enclosed places. 14.4. In relation to smoking outside licensed premises, it is expected that: Policy Page 15 • Suitable receptacles for customers will be provided and maintained to dispose of cigarette litter in areas used, or likely to be used, for smoking • Licensees will take all reasonable steps to discourage smoking on the public highway close to residential premises, particularly after 10pm. This could include measures such as a ban on customers taking drinks outside on to the public highway, the use of door supervisors, or imposing a time after which re -admissions to the premises will not be permitted • Garden areas are to be cleared at a reasonable time where not doing so could cause nuisance to neighbouring residents. • Appropriate signage is to be displayed prominently at the premises 14.5. Where an application includes provision of a smoking shelter then the Licensing Authority expects the shelter to be situated as far as possible from neighbouring residential premises. 14.6. If relevant representations are received from a Responsible Authority, Elected Members or interested parties, the application will be determined by a Licensing Sub-Committee. 14.7. Applications referred to the Licensing Sub-Committee will be determined on the individual merit of each case. The Licensing Sub-Committee have the power to impose specific conditions when considered necessary in respect of the Prevention of Public Nuisance objective. 14.8. Following the grant of a premises licence, the Council’s Environmental Protection Unit, Elected Members and/or interested parties such as local residents and businesses can apply to the Licensing Authority for review of the licence if they consider that the Prevention of Public Nuisance objective has not been met. 14.9. The Licensing Authority's Licensing Officers will conduct inspections of licensed premises to ensure that the conditions relating to the prevention of public nuisance are being complied with. 14.10. High risk or poorly managed premises will therefore be subject to a higher frequency of inspections than low risk and well managed premises. Some of these inspections will be unannounced and conducted whilst the premises are in use for the purpose of the licence. 14.11. The Council's Licensing Officers and Environmental Protection Officers will work closely with the Council's Anti-Social Behaviour Investigations Team, requesting monitoring visits of specific premises and receiving feedback regarding the witnessing of statutory noise and public nuisance or the breach of licence conditions. Policy Page 16 15. Licensing Objectives - The Protection of Children from Harm 15.1. The Licensing Authority is committed to ensuring that licensed premises operate in a manner that safeguards children from harm. This includes physical, psychological, and moral harm, and extends to concerns such as underage drinking, exposure to adult content, and child sexual exploitation. 15.2. The Licensing Authority believes that it is completely unacceptable to sell alcohol to children. Applicants should demonstrate how they will promote this objective in their operating schedules. Measures may include:: Challenge 25 or similar age verification policies, staff training on safeguarding and identifying vulnerable children, restrictions on access to certain areas or times and clear signage and supervision arrangements. Other considerations can be found in Appendix E of this Policy. 15.3. The Licensing Authority strongly encourages participation in safeguarding initiatives such as: ‘Ask for Angela’, WAVE (Welfare and Vulnerability Engagement) training and reporting and recording concerns to the police or Safeguarding Teams. 15.4. The range of ‘licensed premises’ under the Licensing 2003 Act 2003 is very broad. It includes pubs, cinemas, theatres, restaurants, off licences etc. 15.5. Under the Licensing 2003 Act 2003, unaccompanied children under the age of 16 are not allowed on premises such as public houses which are used exclusively or primarily for the supply of alcohol for consumption on the premises. 15.6. This restriction does not apply to premises such as restaurants and bowling alleys etc. where the supply of alcohol is not the principal use of the premises. However, unaccompanied children under the age of sixteen are not permitted in such premises betw een the hours of midnight and 5 a.m. Admission of children will always be at the discretion of those managing the premises unless specifically prohibited by way of licence conditions. 15.7. Where applicant s are proposing adult entertainment, they must make it clear in their operating schedule about the details of the activity or event and times so that it can be determined when it is not appropriate for children to enter the premises. Applicant should consider the proximity of their premises to schools and youth clubs and ensure that any advertising is not displayed at a time where children are likely to by close by.Applicants and licence holders are encouraged to be mindful of the adult nature of licensed premises and to make adequate provision for the protection of children from harm in their operating schedules . Applicants are advised to contact the Safeguarding Children and Quality Assurance t eam or the Policy Page 17 Licensing Team directly to seek advice prior to submitting their application. 15.8. It is recognised that the Mandatory Conditions attached to premises licences where alcohol is sold/supplied must have in place an age verification scheme. The Licensing Authority would normally expect this scheme to include a challenge for photo identification to all persons who appear to be under the age of 25 years, i.e. 'Challenge 25'. 15.9. If relevant representations are received from a Responsible Authority, Elected Members or interested parties the application will be determined by a Licensing Sub-Committee. 15.10. Applications referred to the Licensing Sub-Committee will be determined on the individual merit of each case. The Licensing Sub-Committee have the power to impose specific conditions when considered necessary in respect of the Protection of Children from Harm objective. 15.11. Following the grant of a premises licence, the Council’s Safeguarding Children and Quality Assurance t eam, Elected Members and/or interested parties such as local residents and businesses can apply to the Licensing Authori ty for a review of the licence if they consider that the Protection of Children from Harm objective has not been met. 15.12. The Licensing Authority's Licensing Officers will conduct inspections of licensed premises to ensure that the conditions relating to the protection of children from harm are being complied with. 15.13. High risk or poorly managed premises will therefore be subject to a higher frequency of inspections than low risk and well managed premises. Some of these inspections will be unannounced and conducted whilst the premises are in use for the purpose of the licence. 15.14. The Licensing Authority will expect that each operator dealing in the sale and supply of alcohol implements a proof of age policy in line with the Mandatory Licence conditions. The Licensing Authority expects premises licence holders to ensure that their staff are adequately trained and in every case where there is any doubt as to whether the customer is aged eighteen or over: operate on a ‘No ID,- No sale’ basis. 15.15. It is expected that all refusals of alcohol shall be recorded by the operator in a Refusal or Incident Log. This Log shou ld be made available for inspection to a Police Officer or authorised officer from the Local Authority when requested to produce it. 15.16. Trading Standards Officers and Police Officers will carry out test purchases of alcohol using young volunteers. Where sales are made, enforcement action will be taken against all responsible persons. Policy Page 18 15.17. The Licensing Authority shall maintain close contact with the police, trading standards and Youth Justice Teams concerning any unlawful sales at premises and reports of consumption of alcohol by minors. Children’s access to cinemas 15.18. The Licensing Authority accepts that the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is the recognised authority in categorising films. It therefore accepts the BBFC classifications with respect of children’s films. The Licensing Authority will expect applicants to include in their operating schedules arrangements for restricting children from viewing age-restricted films classified according to BBFC recommendations. Children and Regulated Entertainment 15.19. There are many kinds of regulated entertainment which are specifically arranged for children, such as plays, concerts, and film shows, some of which may be school based. When it is proposed to present an entertainment specifically for children, then additional safety measures may need to be considered. The Council’s Licensing Officers and the Safeguarding Children and Quality Assurance t eam are able to offer advice and guidance in respect of such presentations and organisers of such events are encouraged to seek such advice. 16. Public Health & Licensing 16.1. The Director of Public Health in Hillingdon is a responsible authority under the Licensing 2003 Act 2003 and may; make representations in respect of premise licence applications and club premise certificates and may also apply to review premise licences and certificates. 16.2. Public Health may hold useful information which may be used by the m to make representations in its their own right or to support representations by other responsible authorities. These representations can potentially be made on the grounds of all four licensing objectives. 16.3. A range of public health issues may relate directly to one or more of the Licensing Objectives; for example, violent assaults, cases of alcohol poisoning at licensed premises, or issues with loud noise emanating from premises. 16.4. Public Health may record data where intoxication of patrons at specific premises has led to accidents and injuries from violence, including those resulting in attendances at emergency departments and the use of ambulance services. Some of these incidents will be reported to the police, but many will not. This information can be relevant to the public safety, public nuisance and crime and disorder objectives. Policy Page 19 16.5. The Licensing Authority recognises the potential for Public Health to participate in the licensing process in relation to the protection of children from harm. This objective concerns the physical safety of children and also their moral and psychological wellbeing. Public Health may present evidence relating to under 18 's alcohol-related emergency department attendance, hospital admissions and underage sales of alcohol linked to a specific premises and their practices. 16.6. The Licensing Authority will work with the Director of Public Health and his their staff in order to identify and utilise relevant public health data within the licensing process. In addition, the Licensing Authority will support the NHS and alcohol charities to raise awareness of the dangers of excess consumption of alcohol.” 17. Licensing Committee 17.1. A Licensing Committee consisting of at least ten, but not more than fifteen Councillors, has been appointed. The Licensing Committee will be kept informed by way of reports from officers on a wide range of matters which may impact on their role. 17.2. The Licensing 2003 Act 2003 dictates that uncontested applications shall be granted and that such applications should be dealt with by specific officers who have been so delegated by the Licensing Authority. 17.3. Whenever relevant representations have been received from Responsible Authorities,; Elected Members and/or Interested Parties in respect of an application, that application will be referred to a Licensing Sub-Committee for determination. 17.4. Although the Licensing Authority welcomes views from all members of the community, Government guidance states that the Council as the Licensing Authority should be aware that the views of vocal minorities should not be allowed to predominate over the general interests of the community that the Licensing Committee represents. 18. Authorisations and Applications 18.1. THhere are a number of authorisations relating to: • Sale/Supply of alcohol • Regulated entertainment • Late Night Refreshment These are:; Premises Licences Policy Page 20 18.2. Any person aged eighteen years or over who is carrying on, or who proposes to carry on, a business that involves the use of premises for licensable activities may apply for a premises licence either on a permanent basis or for a time -limited period. ‘A person’ in this context includes a business or partnership. 18.3. A premises licence lasts indefinitely and may be transferred or varied at any time. 18.4. The premises licence application form and operating schedule should be completed clearly and concisely to reflect the exact nature of the business and how the four licensing objectives will be addressed. All sections of the application form must be completed. Guidance as to what type of information should be included in the operating schedule is given in the Aappendices to this Policy. 18.5. Applications which are incomplete or illegible will be returned to the applicant with an explanation for the return. Reasons may include incomplete or missing forms, incomplete Operating Schedule, the absence of the fee, and/or absence of required plans or insufficient information detailed on the plans, (as required under Section 23 of Tthe Licensing Act 2003 (Premises Licences and Club Premises Certificates) Regulations 2005 ), or Ffor personal licences , also the absence of certificates or photographs. 18.6. Applicants are advised to seek advice from the Council’s Licensing Officers and the Responsible Authorities concerning the licensing requirements for premises and/or licensable activities being applied for prior to completing their operating schedule. Large or unusual events need particular consideration and applicants are advised to consult the Council’s Licensing Officers for guidance and to submit applications as far in advance as possible. When required, the Council’s Licensing Officers will provide all applicants with advice and guidance in respect of completing their application forms and, in particular, how they should address each one of the four licensing objectives in their operating schedules. 18.7. Notwithstanding 1 38.6 above, it is the applicant’s responsibility to complete the application to a satisfactory standard and they should seek professional legal advice as necessary. 18.8. From 31st March 2025, Tthe Licensing Authority will generally treat applications to add “off sales” to “on sales” premises licences as a minor variation application , in particular where the licence holder took advantage of the Business & Planning Act 2020 provision and there has been no adverse impact on the licensing objectives. The Licensing Authority recognises the importance of outdoor hospitality in supporting local businesses and enhancing the vibrancy of public spaces . Pavement licences governed by the permanent regime introduced under the Business & Planning Act Policy Page 21 2020 are separate from premises licence under the Licensing2003 Act 2003 but may interact where alcohol is served outdoors. Licence holders must ensure that the use of outdoor space does not undermine the licensing objectives. The Licensing Authority shall ensure that there is co -ordination and consistency between pavement and premises licensing where applicable. Members Clubs 18.9. Some activities carried out by clubs need to be licensed under the 2003 Act but generally , members clubs are treated differently to proprietary clubs and commercial premises. A club is an organisation where members have joined together for a particular reason, i.e. social, sporting or political, and have combined to buy alcohol in bulk as members of the organisation for supply to members. In order to apply for a Club Premises Certificate, the club needs to be a ‘Qualifying Club’. 18.10. Where there is doubt about the eligibility for a club premises certificate, the Licensing Authority will seek assurances and evidence from applicants that they are a qualifying club for the purposes of the 2003 Act. Such evidence may include membership records, minutes of committee meetings, etc. Temporary Event Notices 18.11. Anyone may give the Licensing Authority a Temporary Event Notice (TEN). This procedure allows people to hold an event involving licensable activities without having to apply for a Premises Licence or Club Premises Certificate. 18.12. The 2003 Act provides a system for the temporary carrying on of any licensable activity outside of the terms of a premises licence or club premises certificate. Under this system no authorisation as such is required from the licensing authority. Instead , a person wishing to hold an event at which such activities are proposed to be carried on (the “premises user”) gives notice to the lLicensing aAuthority of the event. Personal Licences 18.13. To sell alcohol in licensed premises at least one person needs to hold a ‘Personal Licence’ which has been granted by the Licensing Authority where they live. This requirement does not apply to ‘qualifying clubs’. 18.14. In some premises there may be more than one person holding a ‘Personal Licence’ and it is important that one person is named as being in control, this person is called the ‘Designated Premises Supervisor’. The Designated Premises Supervisor is the key person who will usually be responsible for the day- to -day management of the premises. 18.15. There is one exemption from the need for a personal licence holder and ‘Designated Premise Supervisor’ in line with the mandatory requirements of the Licensing 2003 Act, 2003 sections 19(2) and 19(3). That is in the case where a community premises (church, community halls, and village Policy Page 22 halls, etc.) has applied for and been granted an application to disapply these mandatory conditions. 18.16. In determining applications for personal licences, the Licensing Authority will have regard to the guidelines issued by the Secretary of State under section 182 of the Licensing 2003 Act 2003 and any secondary legislation. The promotion of the four licensing objectives applies to the consideration of applications for personal licences equally as it does to applications for premises licences. 19. Representations 19.1. This policy will not seek to exclude any rights enshrined in the 2003 Act or any other legislation for applicants or those making representations against applications. Each application and representation will be treated on its merits taking into account the legislation , the Guidance issued under section 182 of the Licensing 2003 Act 2003 and this policy. 19.2. Representations can be made to the Council, as Licensing Authority, by a ‘Responsible Authority’ or by ‘Interested Parties’ , which include individuals such as residents or bodies such as a residents association, trade associations and other businesses operating. Representations can be made concerning:- • Applications for new premises licences or club premises certificates • Applications to vary premises licences or club premises certificates • Personal licence applications on criminal grounds (only by the Police) 19.3. Responsible Authorities are the public authorities specifically designated under the Licensing 2003 Act 2003 to be consulted on all licence applications and are also entitled to make representations. A full list of Responsible Authorities is attached ats Appendix F. 19.4. The Licensing Authority expect other responsible authorities, where they have concerns, to raise representations that fall within their remit . For instance, where there are concerns of crime and disorder, then the police should submit a representation. 19.5. The Licensing Authority is not generally expected to act as a responsible authority on behalf of other parties such as residents . However, there may be times where the Licensing Authority may feel it is appropriate to do so. For instance, this may be where the relevant responsible authority have failed to take action and the Licensing Authority is aware of relevant grounds to make a representation. 19.6. Where the Licensing Authority does act as a responsible authority and wishes to submit a representation, they may do so by assessing the application, visiting the premises if they feel it is appropriate to do so and Policy Page 23 looking at the potential impact the application will have on the Licensing objectives. In addition, the Licensing Authority shall check the history of the premises, assess the level of confidence it has with management and the compliance with conditions of the licence. 19.7. Each responsible authority has equal standing and may act independently without waiting for representations from any other responsible authority. 19.8. In cases where the Licensing A uthority is also acting as responsible authority, the Licensin g Authority will ensure a separation of responsibilities within the authority to ensure procedural fairness and eliminate conflicts of interest. For example, the Licen sing Authority will distinguish between the licensing case officer with and the officer nominated to act as the responsible authority by allocating clear and distinct functions. 19.9. The Licensing 2003 Act 2003 also permits Elected Members to make representations on their own behalf as well as on behalf of their constituents. Members of the public who are making representations may also request that their Ward Councillor speaks on their behalf at public hearings to determine applications. 19.10. Representations about an application must be made in writing to the Council’s Licensing Team within the statutory time limits . The representation must be relevant to the application and not vexatious or frivolous. 19.11. Written representations include letters and emails. Representations received after the end of the public consultation period cannot legally be accepted and will not be considered by the Licensing Authority. 19.12. Representations must contain:; (a) The name, full address & post code, of the person making them; (b) The reasons for their representation; (c) Which of the four Licensing Objectives the representation relates to, i.e. crime and disorder; public nuisance; public safety; and/or protection of children from harm. Representations which do not meet this requirement may be rejected as being irrelevant or frivolous or vexatious. 19.13. For borderline cases, the Licensing Authority shall give the benefit of doubt will be given to the person making the representation. 19.14. Representations based on ‘Need’ for licensed premises , concerns the commercial demand for another pub, restaurant, off licence or hotel. This is not a matter for the lLicensing Aauthority in discharging its licensing functions. ‘Need’ is a matter for planning committees and for the market. Representations made on the basis of need are likely to be rejected. Policy Page 24 19.15. All valid representations will form part of a committee report that will become a public document. It will be given to the applicant, their agent, responsible authorities, other persons making representations and any other party requesting a copy as well as the Licensing Sub-committee 10 working days prior to the hearing. Anonymous representations will not be accepted. 19.16. Petitions may be submitted as (or as part of) a representation but may not be as informative as individual correspondence and as such may be given less weight when considered by a Licensing Sub-Committee. 19.17. Petitions will only be accepted if on each sheet it clearly shows: • The name and address of the application site, • Reasons for the representation, and • Which of the four Licensing Objectives are relevant. 19.18. Each petitioner must give their name , and full addres s including post code. 19.19. Failure to comply with any of the above requirements could lead to the petition being rejected as a representation. 19.20. The Licensing Authority follows the guidance of the Secretary of State concerning the judgments of representation as being irrelevant, vexatious and frivolous. A representation would be ‘irrelevant’ if it does not relate to the application or to the promotion of the licensing objectives in the context of the application. 19.21. In considering whether or not a representation is’ ‘vexatious or frivolous’ the Licensing Authority must determine whether any ordinary and reasonable person would consider the matter to be vexatious or frivolous. Vexation may arise where, for example, there is a dispute between rival businesses. Frivolous representations would be categorised by a lack of seriousness. 19.22. Where a representation is found to be irrelevant, vexatious or frivolous, the person making it will be informed and that representation will be disregarded. 20. The Role of the Ward Councillor 20.1. Ward Councillors play an important role in the local community. They can make representations in writing and speak at the hearing on behalf of an interested party such as a local resident or local business if specifically requested to do so. They can also make representations as an interested party in their own right (see aAnnex A with regard to Councillors making representations). Policy Page 25 20.2. Ward Councillors may apply for a review of a licence if problems are brought to their attention which justify intervention and relate to the licensing objectives. 20.3. Ward Councillors are informed of all new applications and any application to vary a licence in their ward. Individual Councillors may publicise an application locally in addition to the statutory publicatio n and advertising carried out by the applicant. 20.4. Local residents and businesses may wish to contact their local ward Councillors in respect of a licence application. Details on how to contact Ward Councillors may be obtained from the Council’s Wwebsite. 20.5. Ward Councillors may attend hearings of lLicensing Sub- Committees considering applications and speak on behalf of local residents and businesses, but only if:; • They have made a personal representation; • They have made a representation on behalf of local residents or businesses as ‘community advocates’; or • They have been nominated by (an objector) who cannot attend the hearing or prefers to be represented at the hearing. Note: Where a Ward Councillor makes representations upon an application within their ward , in writing, to the Head of Administrative, Technical and Business Services within the appropriate statutory period of consultation for the application, and this representation has been forwarded to the Licensing Authority, that application shall then be scheduled to be heard by the Licensing Sub -Committee for determination. The Ward Councillor must include in their representations the reasons why they wish the application to be determined by the Sub-Committee and how the application adversely affects the l icensing objectives . [policy clarification added by full Council on 7 September 2017]. 20.6. If a Councillor as a Member of the Licensing Sub-Committee has been involved in campaigning about a particular application, they should declare any such interest and not take part in any lLicensing Ssub- cCommittee hearing considering that application. This does not apply to a wWard Ccouncillor attending a hearing in their capacity following representations, as an interested party or an advocate in support or against a particular application. 21.

Residents’ Services Select Committee – 6 November 2025 Classification: Public CABINET FORWARD PLAN Committee name Residents’ Services Select Committee Officer reporting Liz Penny, Democratic Services Officer Papers with report Appendix A – Latest Forward Plan Ward As shown on the Forward Plan HEADLINES To monitor the Cabinet’s latest Forward Plan which sets out key decisions and other decisions to be taken by the Cabinet collectively and Cabinet Members individually over the coming year. The report sets out the actions available to the Committee. RECOMMENDATION That the Residents’ Services Select Committee notes the Cabinet Forward Plan. SUPPORTING INFORMATION The Cabinet Forward Plan is published monthly, usually around the first or second week of each month. It is a rolling document giving the required public notice of future key decisions to be taken. Should a later edition of the Forward Plan be published after this agenda has been circulated, Democratic Services will update the Committee on any new items or changes at the meeting. As part of its Terms of Reference, each Select Committee should consider the Forward Plan and, if it deems necessary, comment as appropriate to the decision -maker on the items listed which relate to services within its remit. For reference, the Forward Plan helpfully details which Select Committee’s remit covers the relevant future decision item listed. The Select Committee’s monitoring role of the Forward Plan can be undertaken in a variety of ways, including both pre-decision and post-decision scrutiny of the items listed. The provision of advance information on future items listed (potentially also draft reports ) to the Committee in advance will often depend upon a variety of fact ors including timing or feasibility, and ultimately any such request would rest with the relevant Cabinet Member to decide. However, the 2019 Protocol on Overview & Scrutiny and Cabinet Relations (part of the Hillingdon Constitution) does provide guidance to Cabinet Members to:  Actively support the provision of relevant Council information and other requests from the Committee as part of their work programme.  Where feasible, provide opportunities for committees to provide their input on forthcoming executive reports as set out in the Forward Plan to enable wider pre -decision scrutiny (in addition to those statutorily required to come before committees , i.e. policy framework documents – see para. below). As mentioned above, there is both a constitutional and statutory requirement for Select Committees to provide comments on the Cabinet’s draft budget and policy framework proposals after publication. These are automatically scheduled in advance to multi-year work programmes. Residents’ Services Select Committee – 6 November 2025 Classification: Public Therefore, in general, the Committee may consider the following actions on specific items listed on the Forward Plan: Committee action When How 1 To provide specific comments to be included in a future Cabinet or Cabinet Member report on matters within its remit. As part of its pre-decision scrutiny role, this would be where the Committee wishes to provide its influence and views on a particular matter within the formal report to the Cabinet or Cabinet Member before the decision is made. This would usually be where the Committee has previously considered a draft report or the topic in detail, or where it considers it has sufficient information already to provide relevant comments to the decision-maker. These would go within the standard section in every Cabinet or Cabinet Member report called “Select Committee comments”. The Cabinet or Cabinet Member would then consider these as part of any decision they make. 2 To request further information on future reports listed under its remit. As part of its pre-decision scrutiny role, this would be where the Committee wishes to discover more about a matter within its remit that is listed on the Forward Plan. Whilst such advance information can be requested from officers, the Committee should note that information may or may not be available in advance due to various factors, including timescales or the status of the drafting of the report itself and the formulation of final recommendation(s). Ultimately, the provision of any information in advance would be a matter for the Cabinet Member to decide. This would be considered at a subsequent Select Committee meeting. Alternatively, information could be circulated outside the meeting if reporting timescales require this. Upon the provision of any information, the Select Committee may then decide to provide specific comments (as per 1 above). 3 To request the Cabinet Member considers providing a draft of the report, if feasible, for the Select Committee to consider prior to it being considered formally for decision. As part of its pre-decision scrutiny role, this would be where the Committee wishes to provide an early steer or help shape a future report to Cabinet, e.g., on a policy matter. Whilst not the default position, Select Committees do occasionally receive draft versions of Cabinet reports prior to their formal consideration. The provision of such draft reports in advance may depend upon different factors, e.g., the timings required for that decision. Ultimately any request to see a draft report early would need the approval of the relevant Cabinet Member. Democratic Services would contact the relevant Cabinet Member and Officer upon any such request. If agreed, the draft report would be considered at a subsequent Select Committee meeting to provide views and feedback to officers before they finalise it for the Cabinet or Cabinet Member. An opportunity to provide specific comments (as per 1 above) is also possible. 4 To identify a forthcoming report that may merit a post- decision review at a later Select Committee meeting As part of its post-decision scrutiny and broader reviewing role, this would be where the Select Committee may wish to monitor the implementation of a certain Cabinet or Cabinet Member decision listed/taken at a later stage, i.e., to review its effectiveness after a period of 6 months. The Committee should note that this is different to the use of the post-decision scrutiny ‘call-in’ power which seeks to ask the Cabinet or Cabinet Member to formally re-consider a decision up to 5 working days after the decision notice has been issued. This is undertaken via the new Scrutiny Call-in App members of the relevant Select Committee. The Committee would add the matter to its multi-year work programme after a suitable time has elapsed upon the decision expected to be made by the Cabinet or Cabinet Member. Relevant service areas may be best to advise on the most appropriate time to review the matter once the decision is made.
