To outline the next steps following the recent Youth Provision Review, to ensure a collaborative approach with the third sector and wider partners to achieve the recommendations outlined in the report.

The Executive agreed the recommendation as outlined above namely:

To approve the establishment of a central youth service function within the local authority by 31 May 2023 that will facilitate, coordinate and work collaboratively with the third sector to achieve the recommendations within the report at Appendix 2a, to the Executive report, over the next five to seven years.

To make the Executive aware of and gain support for a Publicly Accessible Trauma (PaCT) First Aid Kits project, which has been endorsed by Blackpool’s Community Safety Partnership.

The Executive agreed the recommendations as outlined above namely:

1. To endorse the rollout of Publicly Accessible Trauma First Aid Kits (PAcT) into publicly accessible locations (town centre/iconic locations) in order to preserve life as a result of injury whether that is on a mass casualty or individual basis, forming part of all measures that are being considered and taken in relation to the Protect and Prepare Duty.

2. To note that the project would also include utilising the Blackpool Teaching Hospitals Emergency Department Navigator Nurses to support training requests from those who host the PAcT First Aid kits or those located nearby.

3. To agree that the Council will contribute £5,400 to the scheme as outlined in Appendix 3a, to the Executive report, from the Emergency Planning budget but also underwrite the scheme up to £25,000 but seek funding from partners within the Community Safety Partnership to mitigate the cost.

To consider objections and whether to confirm a non-immediate Article 4 direction order to remove the permitted development right for demolition of locally listed buildings outside conservation areas and for exterior painting.

The Executive resolved as follows:

1. To note the objections received attached at Appendices 4a and 4b, to the Executive report.

2. To approve the confirmation of the Article 4 direction to remove the permitted development right for demolition and exterior painting of locally listed buildings outside conservation areas given the need to prevent harm to local amenity and planning for the historic built environment.
