Wards affected: Bow East; Bromley North; Lansbury; Mile End; Poplar; Shadwell; Spitalfields & Banglatown; Stepney Green; Whitechapel;
Notice of proposed decision first published: 21/07/2016
This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.
Reason for urgency:
Approval has been received for the Integrated Youth and Community Service’s interim delivery model to commence from July 2016. As part of the interim delivery model it is intended that additional youth activity will be commissioned into those wards which no longer have direct delivery from a local authority run youth centre. In order to ensure that commissioned youth activity can commence from September 2016 [or as soon as possible thereafter] a Mayor’s decision is required to approve the tender of the Contract which has a value of up to £1,000,000;
The methodology used to determine the ward level gaps was an analysis of youth anti-social behaviour hot spots and 13 to 19 year population data;
If the Integrated Youth and Community Service waited to submit a report to commission this Contract until the next Cabinet Commissioning report this would delay implementation of the Contract until November/December 2016.
Commissioningd youth activity in the wards will mitigate ASB
Decision due: Not before 1st Aug 16 by Mayor's Executive Decision Making
Lead member: Deputy Mayor and Cabinet Member for Education and Children's Services
Department: Children and Culture
