103/19 Notes and Outcome of the LEP Away Day – 1st July 2019

The Notes of the LEP Away Day held on 1st July 2019 were submitted. Sarah Middleton highlighted the recommendations that had arose from the discussion groups. The Climate Emergency

The LEP Board was recommended to:

➢ Exploit the concentration of automotive businesses and expertise in

the area to pilot a new diesel scrappage scheme to encourage the use of electric and hybrid vehicles;

Agenda Item 3

3

➢ Work with councils, schools, businesses and other partners to raise

awareness about the climate emergency and action that can be taken individually and collectively to address it;

➢ Promote the adoption of good practice across the Black Country on

the contribution of planning guidelines and policies;

➢ Use its contacts in Whitehall to secure government action to support

this approach. She advised that the Agenda contained the Climate Change Evidence pack for the Black Country to commence the conversation and that further reports would follow. Confidence The LEP Board was recommended to: ➢ Improve the way in which the strengths and successes of the Black

Country economy are communicated in order to encourage: ➢ Inward investment, new starts and indigenous growth; ➢ More deployment of capital spend within existing businesses; ➢ People to see the area as a great place to live and work. ➢ A one-page narrative which everybody could use as a core script; ➢ The production of more industry case studies; ➢ Mobilising the private sector voice more effectively. She advised that reports would be submitted to future meetings. The next big thing The LEP Board was recommended to convene a commission of national (and potentially international) experts to help shape a programme of activity to establish the Black Country as an investable location using a focus on improved health and wellbeing to grow the business base and revitalise the area’s town centres with technological and digital innovation at the core. She advised that reports would be submitted to future meetings. Social Mobility The LEP Board was recommended to:

Agenda Item 3

4

➢ Encourage the pooling of data and networks to identify gaps and

opportunities – for example lack of BAME participation in apprenticeships, parental perceptions of the value of apprenticeships (compared with degrees) and the needs of children in care and offenders;

➢ Work with employers, employees and schools to maximise

opportunities – for example, enabling and incentivising small businesses to participate, lobbying for more flexible use of the apprenticeship levy.

The WMCA The business board members agreed to work with the four Black Country Councils to ensure that a strong, coherent and compelling Black Country voice was articulated in WMCA discussions and decision-making. The LEP board was recommended to communicate to the WMCA its expectation that the authority will: ➢ Make better use of the expertise available in the LEPs and

constituent councils; ➢ Integrate its activities more closely with the those of the LEPs and

councils working in the spirit of principles such as “one team” and “no surprises”.

Agreed that the Notes of the LEP Away Day held on 1st July 2019 be received and confirmed as a correct record

104/19 Policy Update

➢ Public Accounts Committee Report The meeting was advised that the focus of the Public Accounts Committee was primarily related to the Department and how they captured each LEPs’ performance. It was noted that as well as extensive dashboards on funding streams to include Local Growth Fund, Enterprise Zones and Land and Property Investment Fund, that the LEP attended all four local authority scrutiny committees, at least once during each municipal year. The issue of overlapping boundaries still required to be resolved.

Agenda Item 3

5

➢ LEP Network The LEP Network had an evolving approach and was establishing formal peer reviews, with the Black Country paired with Cheshire and Warrington LEP and updates on this approach would be submitted to future meetings. The Chair advised that there was a meeting of WM LEP Chairs on 23rd July 2019 and he would report back to the next meeting. ➢ LEP Women Leaders

Cllr. Yvonne Davies referenced the 150 senior women business

leaders and entrepreneurs and asked what the ethnicity breakdown of

the attendees was. It was agreed to provide this.

➢ Black Country EIU Statistics

• Experimental Statistics: Sub-Regional Fuel Poverty in England, 2019 (2017 data) The meeting was advised that 66,000 people across the Black Country were living in fuel poverty, which was higher than the national average. There were a number of actions seeking to address this, one of which was the work being undertaken on Energy Capital. Chris Handy highlighted the incidence of excess winter deaths and that some people, whilst “asset rich” as a homeowner were “savings poor”. Tom Westley highlighted that within the Energy Capital work stream consideration was being given to tackle fuel poverty. Councillor Yvonne Davies highlighted the issues of insufficient finances and inadequate homes, and there was potential to reduce fuel costs by addressing issues with the home. The Chair suggested that the local authorities should share information of what was working, as it appeared that Dudley MBC were having some success. There was then the question of what the LEP could do to support a shared approach. Sarah Middleton highlighted that through the Garden City

Agenda Item 3

approach, consideration was given to retro-fitting existing housing, although this would require a bigger investment.

• Homes England Housing Statistics: 1 April 2018 – 31 March 2019 The report detailed the number of housing starts and housing completions during 2018 -19.

• Enterprise Research Centre Benchmarking Local Innovation 2019 Reference was made to the Innovation Index and it was noted that the Black Country had improved its ranking across most of the innovation indicators utilised in the study and now was in the top 10 of all LEPs in five categories: product/service innovation, process innovation, collaboration, marketing innovation and new methods of work organisation. For the latter, the study ranked the Black Country as ranked number 1 of all LEPs. Ninder Johal asked what factors had led to improvements and what factors had had a negative impact. Cllr Yvonne Davies asked for a breakdown on the size of employers.

• Black Country Mid-Year Population Estimates It was noted that the Black Country population was growing and in 2018 was 1.19m residents, an increase of 0.6% from 2017. The Black Country LEP also had one of the youngest populations with 21.2% being between 0-15 years of age. Sarah Middleton advised the LEP that work was being done to feed in views of young people into the Board.

• Black Country CO2 Emissions Estimates – 2017 It was noted that there was a more detailed report on Climate Change later on the agenda.

• State of the Region 2019 The Black Country Economic Intelligence Unit had produced the State of the Region on behalf of the West Midlands Combined Authority, using statistics centred around the

* Post January 2019 appointment – new term of office Assurance Framework rules apply Sarah Middleton advised that the next paper to come back to the Board would detail the programme of succession, especially in relation to the role of the Chair, and would consider the potential impact of the LEP Review. The Chair advised that the terms of office going forward could be synchronised with the local government elections and thus if some members wished to end their term of office earlier this would provide some transition for incoming members. Paul Brown commented that whilst the main board may require change there were various sub-groups on which members were active participants, to include as Chairs, which could provide continuity in those work areas. It was commented that a lot of people and associated experience would be going at once and Cllr. Adrian Andrew stated that mitigation should be undertaken to try and alleviate the impact, as this would be better for the LEP and for the business community. The Chair stated that whilst not minimising the impact, if a staged recruitment was undertaken going forward, this would make the transition easier over time.

Agreed that the LEP Board: -

1) Note the remaining term of offices of private sector Board Members; and

106/19 Black Country LEP Board Recruitment Update The Board received an update on the latest recruitment campaign in line with the National Assurance Framework (NAF) (V3 – January 2019), which states: ‘Improve the gender balance and representation of those with protected characteristics on boards with an aim that women make up at least one third of Local Enterprise Partnership boards by 2020 with an expectation for equal representation by 2023, and ensuring all Local Enterprise Partnership boards are representative of the businesses and communities they serve’. It was noted that steps would be taken in relation to succession planning for the BC LEP Board Chair, whose term of office expires in September 2020. The meeting was advised that Kevin Davis of The Vine Trust had joined the Board and that a positive recruitment campaign had been undertaken to improve the gender balance of the Board, with 12 applications having been received. This would necessitate the establishment of meetings of the Nominations Committee with the aim to undertaking recruitment in September/October 2019. The meeting was advised that following discussions Cllr. Yvonne Davies had agreed to be the Board’s Diversity Champion and that a further report would be submitted in September on measures to be taken to enhance the LEP’s engagement with young people.

She suggested that either the M6 Toll be removed or tolls should be introduced elsewhere to manage and ease the situation. Tom Westley welcomed the statistics and suggested that they be monitored more regularly. Cllr.

110/19 Measuring Impact 2019/20

The meeting was advised that monitoring and evaluation were critical elements in the development and the delivery of the Black Country Strategic Economic Plan. The Black Country approach was the development of an effective M&E plan:

a) The vision lead strategy (the BCSEP) sets out the strategic objectives for the area and a set of indicators to measure these form the basis of the Performance Management Framework.

b) The Black Country Performance Management Framework (PMF), provides a clear framework to monitor progress and the economic changes required to achieve our 30-year vision and the ambitions across the twelve programmes in our Strategic Economic Plan. The PMF is composed of a selection of strategic headline indicators, which measure the impact of the various programme’s areas of the BC SEP. These indicators cover a range of theme areas including economic, fiscal, social and environmental impacts. The PMF will provide a framework against which BC success can be measured, both across strategic programmes and in individual projects. The ambitions are based on an agreed vision led economic future for the area underpinned by extensive modelling work undertaken using the Oxford Economic model.

c) The Assurance Framework is aligned to the strategic objectives and the business case templates will show the links to the objectives and quantify the related outputs.

d) Logic Chains Pathways will be used to evaluate the impact of the investment from outputs to outcomes and the impact on the strategic objectives for the area.

e) Robust, proportional evaluation of all activity. Evaluation will be proportionate and targeted with a robust and systematic approach across the Black Country. Evaluation will take place at project level and at overall programme level.

Introduction

1. Following the publication of Strengthened Local Enterprise Partnerships (the

Review) Cities and Local Growth Unit (CLGU) are introducing a Mid-Year

Review session with each LEP. As outlined in the Review, the aim is to

enhance the existing annual assurance process. Following consultation, it has

been agreed that this meeting will focus on delivery and strategic impact

whilst still discussing governance. It also provides a forum for CLGU to

highlight any concerns with senior LEP officials.

2. The Mid-Year Review will act as a key milestone in the annual assurance

process, and a formal way by which CLGU and each LEP meets during the

year to discuss achievements and progress. It should also allow for full and

frank discussion on how the LEP and CLGU can ensure they are in the best

place ahead of Annual Performance Reviews.

3. The Mid-Year review will provide the opportunity to:

a) Reflect on progress from the Annual Performance Review meeting

from 2018-19;

b) Discuss progress on Delivery Plans and Improvement Plans (where

applicable);

c) Allow for a more timely discussion on delivery data from the preceding

year;

d) Showcase the progress to-date on delivery of strategic economic

objectives and programmes;

e) Reflect on the LEP’s current position and highlight to Government any

barriers they are encountering, and

f) Look forward to the major milestones, projects and challenges

expected in 2020-21.

4. The Mid-Year Review takes place in the context of on-going and trusted

dialogue between CLGU and LEPs. Performance issues ought to be surfaced

and dealt with in real time, so that the Mid-Year Review and Annual

Performance Review does not include any surprises for either LEPs or the

Cities and Local Growth Unit.

5. It is intended that the introduction of a Mid-Year Review will improve the

Annual Review Process, by enabling more consistent messaging and

expectations through early discussion between CLGU and the LEP.

6. This guidance sets out the process for the 2019-20 LEP Mid-Year Review.

4

Mid-Year Review meeting

7. The Mid-Year Review meetings should take place between mid-August and

the end of September 2019.

8. The review should cover the themes of governance, delivery and strategic

impact.

9. The governance theme should include discussions on LEP Review

Implementation, including the establishment (if applicable) and operation of

scrutiny arrangements and what scrutiny the LEP has undergone, as well as

the outcome of compliance checks. Further any related milestones from the

Improvement Plan/deep dive (if applicable) should be discussed.

10. The delivery theme should discuss as a minimum the 2018-19 LGF delivery

data returns focusing on LGF spend and forecast for the programme and any

high-risk projects and the LEP’s Delivery Plan. Further any related milestones

from the Improvement Plan/deep dive (if applicable) should be discussed.

11. The strategic impact theme should discuss Local Industrial Strategy (LIS)

development and implementation as well as stakeholder engagement. Further

any related milestones from the Improvement Plan/deep dive (if applicable)

should be discussed.

12. This year, LEPs are not expected to prepare any additional evidence for their

Mid-Year Review, however; they should come prepared to discuss progress

towards achieving milestones and/or actions of any Improvement Plan, as

well as the three themes.

13. The review will be led by CLGU, it will consist of a formal meeting chaired by

a representative of CLGU. It is expected that as a minimum the Chief

Executive and Programme Manager from the LEP would be present. It is also

suggested that the appropriate person from the Accountable Body with the

day-to-day working relationship with the LEP is present, this may not

necessarily be the S.151 officer.

14. The agenda for the meeting will be set locally by the CLGU Area Lead in

discussion with the LEP.

15. Information that will be discussed at the Mid-Year Review will include:

a) 2018-19 Annual Performance Review letter and minutes;

b) 2019-20 LEP Delivery Plans;

c) Local Growth Fund delivery data;

d) LEP progress on implementing the LEP review requirements;

5

e) Compliance check outcomes;

f) LEP progress towards achieving publication of or progress on

implementing and delivering their Local Industrial Strategy; and

g) Improvement Plans & deep dive reports (where applicable).

16. The Mid-Year Review meeting will be the formal review point for all

Improvement Plans.

17. Following the Mid-Year Review a formal note will be agreed, this should be

circulated and discussed at the LEP Board.

18. For the avoidance of doubt, matters that develop between the Mid-Year

Review and the Annual Performance Review will be taken into consideration

at the Annual Performance Review.

Freedom of Information

19. Please note that the Cities and Local Growth Unit is bound by the Freedom of

Information Act and may have to disclose contents of this document on

request.

Forward Look

20. As mentioned above the Mid-Year review forms part of the Annual Assurance

Process. The next milestone in this process will be the Annual Performance

Review Meetings. These meetings are expected to be held between

December 2019 and January 2020. Further guidance on these meetings will

be published over the coming months.

Agenda Item 5

Black Country Local Enterprise Partnership Board

20th August 2019

Social Mobility and Inclusive growth

1. Purpose of Report

1.1 The Black Country Local Enterprise Partnership at the LEP Away Day considered the theme of

social mobility and inclusive growth. With a focus on social innovation, and social enterprise and

their contribution to inclusive growth, and mobility, consequently this paper seeks to respond in

headline to the partnership’s ambition for the region’s economic growth to be inclusive for all its

population. 2. Recommendations

That the LEP Board: -

2.1. Nominate Kevin Davis as the Lead BCLEP Member on social mobility, and inclusive growth. 2.2. In support of the Member, establish a social mobility, and inclusive growth forum to facilitate lead

agency outcomes towards a more inclusive economy across the region.

2.3. In support of the partnership’s ambition, encourage specifically, the growth of the social economy through the work of a BCLEP Social Enterprise Task Force. Note proposed approach to establishing a Social Enterprise Taskforce.

2.4. Support the draft next steps set out in the paper;

3. Report Detail

3.1. The BC LEP’s Social Mobility and Inclusion Growth (SMIG) Forum’s agenda is cross-cutting, and will link into the West Midlands Combined Authority social inclusion agenda, which is committed to driving a model of inclusive growth for the region that benefits all of its residents. This means being bold about the scope and pace of growth, enshrined in our commitment to an uptick of GVA per head of 5% above the national average by 2030. They have asked that other public bodies across the West Midlands adopt this approach and this report represents the first steps for the BC LEP to commit to the model.

3.2. Ambitious social metrics (such as a closing of the healthy life expectancy gap) are embedded

within our Strategic Economic Plan, and the BC LEP is committed to producing a Implementation Plan for the WM Local Industrial Strategy. SMIG will support this ambition.

SMIG is therefore about exploring areas where the LEP can generate a better social and economic value that would be of mutual benefit. We will also ensure that the Taskforce is identifying areas where the LEP adds value to the work that is already happening.

We will seek to ensure this balance through appropriate public sector representation on the SMIG, as well as incorporating any steer the LEP board is minded to give.

The Vine Trust has a wealth of experience in the social enterprise sector and it would be appropriate for Kevin Davis, Board Member to lead on this agenda.

3.3. Through SMIG, The BCLEP recognises the role that social enterprise will play in advancing social

mobility and inclusive growth. The “social economy” covers different types of organisations united

by a clear social purpose – including the voluntary and community sector, social enterprises

and charities. The BCLEP will therefore support the creation and sustainability of social enterprise

right across our area of operation. We will do this through the creation of a number of strategic

Social Enterprise Zones in each local authority.

3.4. BCLEP Social Enterprise Taskforce (SET). The outcome of the WMCA’s Social Economy

Taskforce have established that there is scope with strategic support, for the size of the social

enterprise sector to grow. The WMCA have adopted the following recommendations;

1. Boost the collective identity of social enterprise by strengthening and growing its

platforms.

2. Develop a collaborative, ten-year business case for social enterprise business support

3. WMCA Office of Data & Analytics to develop and disseminate a consistent approach for

data collection on social enterprises.

4. WMCA will use its convening role to encourage all regional public sector bodies and

publicly-funded projects to spend at least 5% of their commissioning and procurement

budget with social enterprise.

5. WMCA to support a campaign to encourage closer links between social enterprises and

the wider private sector.

6. Work with social finance and investment partners to assess gaps, barriers, and improvements that could boost the impact of social investment, as well as increasing demand. The BCLEP will establish SET to explore the implementation of the adopted recommendations in our region.

3.5. The agenda is cross-cutting, and there will be a need to work with our social enterprise

partners to make sure we are aligning with their views on the appropriate role and purpose

of social economy organisations.

3.8 Work will be undertaken to recruit to SMIG and SET from partners – local authorities, social enterprise organisations, government etc

3.9 A further report will be submitted once the SMIG and SET are established. 4. Financial Implications

4.1. At present there are no financial implications arising from this report although it is

acknowledged that some support will be required, whether this is directly through the LEP or via partner organisations and this will be reported to a future meeting.

5. Legal Implications

5.1. There are no legal implications within this report.

6. Risk Management

6.1. There are no Key risks identified.

7. Equality Implications

7.1. There are no Equality implications identified. Sarah Middleton

Agenda Item 8a


20th August 2019

Black Country Strategic Economic Plan – Local Growth Deal

Changes to the Growth Deal Programme – Approval of the 2018/19 Year End

Spend


1.1 To request that the LEP Board approve the expenditure and output profiles for the Growth

Deal projects in line with 2018/19 year-end project claims and proposed change requests.

2. Recommendations

2.1. That the LEP Board:

2.2. Approves of the current position of the Growth Deal Projects, reflecting all changes to the

Programme (Funding and Outputs) throughout the year and, to maximise the 2018/19

Growth Deal allocation expenditure, requests approval for various changes detailed in

attachment 1 of the report.

3. Report Detail

3.1. The report details the current position of all Growth Deal Projects, reflecting all changes to

the Programme (Funding and Outputs) which have been considered and approved by the

LEP Board and Joint Committee throughout the year, plus some additional changes that

have been reported since the last LEP Board meeting (22nd July 2019).

3.2. Following the closure of the 2018-19 financial year a number of change requests have

submitted for LEP and Joint Committee approval. These include slippage of funding into

2019-20 and in some cases, a reduction in the overall funding amount due to project cost

savings, see attachment 1. The project expenditure and output profiles have been closely

monitored by the PMO and the Accountable Body over the course of the programme. This

has informed the PMO’s Growth Deal Dashboards as well as the Accountable Body’s claims

and committed expenditure forecasts which have continued to be presented to monthly

2

board meetings, to inform the latest forecast as well as the over/under utilisation of Grant

Funding.

3.3. The final year position for LEP Board and Joint Committee approved projects is profiled

below. The spend target for 2018/19 has been achieved with the final figure being finalised

at £19,53m.

15/16 16/17 17/18 18/19 19/20 20/21 TOTAL

£29,950,000 £45,951,957 £31,384,296 £19,527,429 £41,578,507 £39,313,965 £208,056,154

*It is to be noted that this figure is based on the project claims paid out by the Accountable Body.

3.4. As the programme is approaching its final 18 months, the Accountable Body and the PMO,

with guidance from BEIS, have undertaken a thorough risk analysis exercise of all projects

which has resulted in a number of actions taken to ensure the programme is fully committed

and able to achieve spend and output targets. A list of criteria was agreed and applied to

assess all projects, such criteria included state aid eligibility and Black Country Joint

Committee approval. In addition to this, any ear marked funding has now been removed

from the programme.

3.5. Transport remains the largest risk within the programme, with the spend vs allocated

funding closely monitored to date. A number of development and access projects are

nearing completion and are expected to close in the coming months. Any unallocated

transport funds have been reduced and assigned to a number of smaller schemes. It is

expected that any unallocated transport funding will be fully committed in 2019/20. Major

schemes such as M6 Junction 10 are expected to start late 2019/20.

3.6. Output targets are tabled below with the current forecast and actual figures delivered to

date. Jobs Created and Learner Assist numbers continue to exceed the projected target,

with the Apprenticeship figures having been included in the Jobs Created total. Delivery of

high quality Commercial Floorspace has been very successful to date through the Local

Growth deal fund, again targets are expected to be over-achieved. Business Assist

numbers are relatively low compared to other outputs; work is on-going to drive forward

improvement on these figures.

Total Forecast Outputs

Actual 4,327 704 407 78,324

*Includes direct and indirect outputs as well as outputs until 2025

*Outputs are subject to validation by the Accountable body

3.7. Delivery of residential schemes, to meet ambitious housing targets, has been a challenge

for the LEP, however recent discussions with BEIS and knowledge sharing with other LEPs

have provided valuable insight into how Housing outcomes can be captured. All initiatives

led by the BC LEP such as Site Investigation funding and the Garden City panel have

provided Housing and residential led type outcomes that can be included and counted

towards the targets for the Local Growth Deal, this is to be confirmed in writing by BEIS

colleagues.

3.8. The BC LEP has been supportive of private and public sector applicants coming forward for

Site Investigation funding and it is expected that all funded Site Investigations will complete

before the end of the year. Analysis of all site investigations and development funding is

underway, with the Accountable Body assessing all contingent liabilities. There is potential

that should any funding not be capitalised before the end of the programme, there may be

clawback for a number of projects.

3.9. A number of skills capital projects have been funded through the Local Growth Fund and

have been successful in their project delivery as well providing a high-quality educational

offering to the region. The Elite Centre for Manufacturing Skills (EMCS) has been

completed, launching four successful locations including the Springfield Hub, with the final

project snagging to be completed before the end of 2019. Dudley College completed the

CABtech project in 2017-18 and continue to deliver skilled apprenticeships with the funds

awarded and drawn down. It has been agreed to remove the revenue match funding for

Dudley College from the project as an output but keeping all the original outputs such as

apprenticeships and learner assists.


4

4.1. The costs associated with this development work and the delivery of projects that form part

of the Local Growth Deal are covered by allocations from government associated with this

programme.


5.1. The Grant Agreements are being prepared by the Accountable Body (Walsall Council) and

will include all conditions passed onto the LEP by Government, together with all terms,

conditions, performance measures and sanctions as required by the approvals/conditions

received from Government or approved by the LEP Board or the Joint Committee. Where

Grant Agreements have been completed by the Council and the Grantee, these will be

varied using the agreed change process – that Grant Agreement Schedules are revised

and re-issued to Grantees at the beginning of the new financial year, with all changes from

this year-end report, and those approved throughout the year but not formalised by a

separate Deed of Variation, included.

6. Risk Management

6.1. Risk is being managed through the on-going assessment of individual projects and their

ability to deliver the required spending profiles and outcomes for the programme as required

or agreed with Government and set into place by the LEP Board or the Joint Committee.


7.1. None at time of drafting.

Agenda Item 8b Black Country Local Enterprise Partnership Board

20th August 2019

Black Country Strategic Economic Plan – Growth Deal

Project Approval Recommendation: Ultra-Low EV Transport Development

Funding (SEPPL143)


1.1 To request that the LEP Board approve the Ultra-low EV Transport Development project

from within the Growth Deal Programme.

2. Recommendation


2.2. Approves the Accountable Body for the Growth Deal (Walsall Council) to proceed to a Grant

Agreement with Wolverhampton City Council to deliver the Local Growth Fund (LGF)

funded elements of the Ultra-low EV Transport Development Funding – with delivery to

commence in the 2019/20 financial year.

3. Report Detail

3.1. A summary of the proposed project is detailed below:

Ultra-low EV Transport Development Funding Project - £130,000 in 2019/20

Funding Breakdown 2019/20 2020/21 Total

LEP Funding £130,000 £0 £130,000

Applicants own funds £30,000 £0 £30,000

TOTAL £160,000 £0 £160,000

3.2. The UK’s transportation sector is responsible for 27% of the nation’s carbon emissions, 90%

of which come from road transport. Since the introduction of the 2008 climate change act

which binds the UK to 80% reduction in carbon emissions based on pre-1990 levels,

2

transportation carbon emissions have increased, whilst other sectors have made significant

reductions.

3.3. Public health impacts have economic costs associated through increased health care costs

and loss of productivity which, left unaddressed, will continue to grow as the national

population increases, further exacerbating the problem. EU directives as well as national

law, require that the government addresses the air pollution in urban centres, and ensure

levels are kept in compliance with the law.

3.4. Ultra-low emissions vehicles (ULEV) are at the heart of the government’s ambitions to

decarbonise the economy and form a major part within the industrial strategy linking clean

growth and future mobility objectives together. ULEVs are considered as a cornerstone by

which significant progress in carbon reduction and air quality improvements can be made,

in line with decarbonisation of the UK’s energy mix.

3.5. The West Midlands strategic transport document, Movement for Growth, indicates the need

to decarbonise transport by promoting the use of ULEV’s to deliver on two key

environmental policies:

• ENV1 - To significantly improve the quality of the local environment in the West

Midlands Metropolitan Area.

• ENV2 - To help tackle climate change by ensuring large decreases in greenhouse

gas emissions from the West Midlands Metropolitan Area.

3.6. Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) are working closely with the West Midlands Combined

Authority (WMCA) and constituent local authorities to develop a West Midlands ULEV

strategy. The wider West Midlands region is a centre for research and manufacturing in the

automotive industry and promotion of ULEV’s has significant potential to contribute to the

local economy.

3.7. In order to address these constraints and meet national policy objectives around climate

change and local air pollution, City of Wolverhampton Council are working in collaboration

across the Black Country to deliver a sub-regional wide Ultra Low emission vehicle

programme that supports locally aligned objectives as established in the Black Country

Core Strategy and individual council plans. The programme’s overarching focus is to

support the accelerated carbon reduction across the Black Country faster than the nationally

defined targets and maximise the air quality potential of the area to achieve optimum public

3

health benefits. Thus, the primary output of the programme is to accelerate the uptake of

Ultra low emission vehicles across the area and across all sectors.

3.8. This bid will help to support the development costs for the initial phases of the programme

as well support the full business case development to support an application for larger

funding opportunities via other funding bodies, such as central government, the WMCA and

through European Grants. These larger bids will be instrumental in delivering physical

capital assets in the form of charging and energy infrastructure as well as smart innovation

projects that will help to strengthen local economies.


4.1. There All the costs associated with this proposal form part of the LGF Programme and will

be covered by allocations from the government with this programme. This includes use of

any interest accrued by the Accountable Body to cover costs associated with the delivery

of Accountable Body functions, as approved by its (Walsall Council) Cabinet on 29th October

2014.


5.1. The appropriate Grant Agreements are in place and will be utilised by the Accountable Body

(Walsall Council), and include all conditions passed onto the LEP by Government, together

with all terms, conditions, performance measures and sanctions as required by the

approvals/conditions received from Government or approved by the LEP Board or the Joint

Committee.

6. Risk Management

6.1. Risk will be managed through the on-going monitoring of individual projects and their ability

to deliver the required spending profiles and outcomes for the programme as required or

agreed with Government and set into place by the LEP Board and the Joint Committee.

3.2. Performance Through People (PTP) Training Ltd are a private training provider based in

Walsall Town centre who have an excellent track record of providing high quality training to

companies throughout the Midlands for over forty years. They have a strong track record of

working with employers across a range of industries and are graded as ‘Outstanding’ by

Ofsted for their partnership engagement. Building upon the success of previous Local

Growth Deal funded projects (Fab Kit and the IT Academy) there is a need for further

investment in their IT and Digital skills offering.

3.3. The recent apprenticeship reforms are having a negative impact on apprenticeship starts

nationally, especially with SME’s and large employers struggling to spend their levy funds,

the IT and Digital programme at PTP will offer the flexibility and confidence to customers

that training programmes can be customised to their needs and requirements. Over 50 levy

companies will be supported, as a result of the project investment, and encouraged to

engage more and utilise more of their funds more efficiently. The investment will allow the

applicant to increase the amount of digital skills that they offer to the Black Country and

recruit additional staff to deliver a high-quality range of bite size courses.

3.4. BEIS have previously allowed apprenticeships to be included in the ‘jobs created’ output

category, which would ensure that the output target is met. However, should the national

downturn in apprenticeship figures have a negative impact on the Black Country, it would

be considered prudent to support the private training providers who are ‘bucking the trend’

and still delivering the much-needed apprenticeship figures required by the programme.

The full impact of the change in appetite for apprenticeships is to be evaluated by the BC

LEP and reported to board members however feedback from the colleges and the

universities (including Coventry and Warwickshire institutions) indicates that the impact will

be significant.

3.5. Outputs to be delivered from this project:

3.6. Business Assists have been a challenging output for the programme to achieve with various

applicants advising that the criteria set out by government have been difficult to meet. PTP

Training Ltd are one of the few applicants who have been delivering this output consistently

via previously funded projects. Supporting this project will ensure that this output is achieved

before the Growth Deal is due to close and would contribute towards a successful evaluation

of the overall programme.

Growth Deal 1,2 & 3 Funding Profile

Issue Impact Description RAG Action

Growth Deal 3 – Funding Profile & Outputs

The £55.05m GD3 profile was radically reprofiled during March 2017 resulting in £26.52m of the award being profiled into 20/21. This presents a range of challenges for the programme, not only with managing the Cashflow to the new profile but delivering the target Outputs consistent with the new funding profile.

BEIS have now confirmed that outputs can be counted until 2024/25. Funding profiles discussion currently on-going.

Limited capacity to support Pipeline Development & delivery of Transport Schemes

Currently, there is insufficient resource to develop and deliver all of the schemes listed within the programme over a 10 year period.

Transport Director is re-directing Growth Deal funds to support development of major schemes.

Summary – BLACK COUNTRY PIPELINE

PROJECT PIPELINE

COMMENTARY

➢ The pipeline is now consolidated listing of all the priority bids for Black Country Wide support and will tap into a range of funding opportunities;

➢ Land and Property Investment Funds 17/18 +➢ Growth Deal 3 17/18 +➢ Transport Majors➢ Other opportunities as they arise

➢ The PMO continue to update the pipeline; working collaboratively with each of the councils, the colleges and the University to further refine thetimeline of when Grant support will be needed for Strategic Priority schemes.

➢ This profile of potential Grant bids linked to LEP Funded SI and Development activity presently being undertaken with potential Delivery timeframes identified as working towards is shown overleaf

➢ This will facilitate the development of a schedule of Grant funding requirements, specific to prioritised schemes, that can be supported as Growth Deal 3 and Land and Property Investment Fund and any other Grant Funding opportunities become available.

➢ Councils are now developing Business Cases for their strategic priority schemes.

Issue Impact Description RAG Resolution

Limited capacity to support Pipeline Development & delivery of Projects

Limited resources in Local Authorities to support project development and subsequent project delivery will impact Black Country economic growth in future years.

Black Country Joint Committee approval has been awarded to capitalise proposition development work - £8.9m to 2021. Each Local Authority will be requested to identify, for the 2015/16, 2016/17 and 2017/18 financial years, any revenue funding that could become available as a result of this capital allocation to form a Black Country Proposition Funding Pot that can be used to underwrite speculative capital expenditure.

Limited capacity to support Pipeline Development & delivery of Transport Schemes

Limited transport resources in Local Authorities to support project development and subsequent project delivery would impact Black Country ability to take advantage of emerging transport scheme funding opportunities.

Black Country Transport Director is urgently developing a range of innovative responses to help secure funding for priority Black Country transport schemes.

Apologies: Chris Handy.

113/19 Declarations of Interest

Tom Westley declared his non-pecuniary interest in Dudley College, Minute No. 129/19 and advised that he would take no part in the consideration or voting thereon.

114/19 Minutes

The Minutes of the meeting held on the 3rd July 2019 were submitted.

Agenda Item 10

2

Agreed that the minutes of the meeting held on 3rd July 2019 be received and confirmed as a correct record.

Part A - Land and Property Investment Fund (LPIF)

115/19 Update on Forecast utilisation of £53m LPIF allocation

The meeting was advised that the outcome of the remaining £97m was awaited and that the WMCA had recruited someone to evaluate the progress on the £53m against agreed outputs.

Lindsey Flynn queried if the WMCA would share the report and the Chair advised that the LEP Board should receive an update on the £53m, with a view to brief Leaders through officers.

Ninder Johal advised that he had raised the issue of the £97m at the WMCA Board where the Mayor had advised that it should be deployed as rapidly as possible. Whilst this had been captured on the webcast, he noted that it had not been captured in the minute.

The Chair commented that it was possible the local authorities could cashflow certain projects if the timing of the release of the funding was guaranteed.

Agreed 1) That the Group note the progress of the LEP approved schemes;

and 2) That the Group request sight of the WMCA review of the £53m

schemes and their associated outputs.

116/19 Change Request – Phoenix 10

The meeting was reminded of the application in respect of Phoenix 10 and noted that one of the agreed outcomes had been to provide 57,575 sq.m of floor space.

Based on the current investment figures BC LEP is providing 79% of the overall cost while Home England’s contribution amounts to 21%. The final split can only be calculated once final investment in the project is known. As such, BC LEP approval was sought for the principle of any future business rate surplus being shared on a proportional basis, noting the current estimation of the split. It should be noted that HE is committed to providing its investment to the project regardless of the total

Agenda Item 10

3

investment provided by the BC LEP and will not seek to reduce this contribution should the contractor’s costs be below the current estimates. It was agreed that should a surplus in business rates receipts be generated from the Phoenix 10 site, only at the expiry of the Enterprise Zone on 31 March 2038, then this would to be split between Homes England and the Black Country LEP, in proportion to the final investment made by both parties to the project.

The Group were also asked to consider the approach to the apportionment of project outputs, such that the total constructed employment floorspace is split between Homes England and Black Country LEP, in proportion to final investment in the project and to note that the only direct output of the scheme was land remediated and that the outcomes of the project were currently indicative at this stage and would be determined once occupiers of the development had been identified.

Agreed that the LEP Board be recommended to approve the Change request for the Phoenix 10 project, as detailed in the report

117/19 Note on Heath Town Regeneration Scheme

The meeting was advised that that Wolverhampton City Council had made considerable progress on the revised Full Business Case which was with the assessors for Due Diligence. It was anticipated that the report would eb submitted in September.

Agreed that the update be noted.

118/19 LPIF Dashboard

The LPIF Dashboard was presented and it was noted that currently £10,147,749 had been paid out to projects.

It was noted that: -

• the Music Institute were on site with completion expected at the

year end.

• Dudley Brownfield Land – 72 houses had been completed.

• Goscote Lane, The Cracker and Narrowboat Way Site

Investigation had all completed.

Agenda Item 10

4

• Heath Town, as reported full business case was with the

assessors.

Agreed that the LPIF Dashboards and associated update be noted.

Part B – Local Growth Fund

Black Country Strategic Economic Plan – Growing Places Fund

119/19 Utilisation of Growing Places Fund to date

Members were advised that £5.4m was available for reinvestment following the receipt of loan and interest repayments.

Agreed that the Group note the update.

120/19 New Project Bid – YMCA Cleveland

Road

Members were advised that the assessors felt the project would be better funded through a loan rather than through grant, as there would revenue generating opportunities on the site.

The YMCA site was referenced in West Bromwich and it was suggested that the scheme could mirror the scheme adopted for that project. The FSG members were advised of the project detail and whilst noting the merits of the project it was noted that the project would provide marketable assets, therefore the funding should be loan not grant.

It was commented that if the project was unable to proceed on a solely loan basis, that it be considered for a mix of grant and loan.

Agreed: - 1) that the consideration of the YMCA Cleveland update be deferred;

and

2) that officers hold further discussions with the applicant on the terms

outlined above and report back to the September meeting.

Agenda Item 10

5

121/19 City Learning Quarter – Bilston Campus

Members were advised that currently BEIS were reviewing the College and the Board were asked to consider an application for funding for a site investigation.

A discussion ensued regarding the project and it was noted that there was a need to see the full business case to be assured of the viability of the project.

Agreed that consideration be deferred for receipt of the full business case.

Black Country Strategic Economic Plan - Growth Deal Report to Funding Sub Group

122/19 Forecast utilisation of £19.53m Growth Deal Funds in 2018/19 Programme

The Group were provided with an update and noted on the funding allocation of £19.53m for 2018/19.


123/19 Commitment of the Growth Deal Funds from 2018/19 to 2020/21

The latest programme forecast was submitted.

Agreed that the Commitment of the Growth Deal Funds from 2018/19 to 2020/21 be noted.

124/19 Transport – Ultra-low EV Transport Development Funding

The meeting was advised that the City of Wolverhampton Council were working in collaboration across the Black Country to deliver a sub-regional wide Ultra Low emission vehicle programme that supported locally aligned objectives, as established in the Black Country Core Strategy and individual council plans. The programme’s overarching focus was to support the accelerated carbon reduction across the Black Country faster than the nationally defined targets and maximise the air quality potential of the area to achieve optimum public health benefits. Thus, the primary output of the programme was to accelerate the uptake of Ultra low emission vehicles across the area and across all sectors.

Agenda Item 10

6

The City of Wolverhampton was seeking £130,000 from Growth Deal to support this initiative.

Agreed that the LEP Board be recommended to approve the Accountable Body for the Growth Deal (Walsall Council) to proceed to a Grant Agreement with Wolverhampton City Council to deliver the Local Growth Fund (LGF) funded elements of the Ultra-low EV Transport Development Funding – with delivery to commence in the 2019/20 financial year.

125/19 Growing Priority Sectors

It was noted that AIB Foods Ltd had declined their grant.


126/19 Growth Deal Bids for consideration – IT & Digital Skills & Innovation

Members were advised that an application had been received for £68,162.50 from PTP Training Ltd to deliver IT & Digital skills training to 50 plus levy companies.

It was noted that Outputs appeared to be high especially on Businesses Assisted and Apprenticeships.

Whilst supportive of the project Members were of the view that the company should review their potential outcomes and currently these may not be achieved which would require “clawback” to be implemented.

Agreed that the PMO undertake further discussions with the applicants and report to members outside of the meeting.

127/19 Growth Deal 2018-19 Year End Changes

The meeting was advised that following the closure of the 2018-19 financial year a number of change requests had been submitted for LEP and Joint Committee approval. These include slippage of funding into 2019-20 and in some cases, a reduction in the overall funding amount due to project cost savings, see appendix to minutes. The project expenditure and output profiles had been closely monitored by the PMO and the Accountable Body over the course of the programme. This has informed the PMO’s Growth Deal Dashboards as well as the

Agenda Item 10

7

Accountable Body’s claims and committed expenditure forecasts which have continued to be presented to monthly board meetings, to inform the latest forecast as well as the over/under utilisation of Grant Funding.

The final year position for LEP Board and Joint Committee approved projects is profiled below. The spend target for 2018/19 has been achieved with the final figure being finalised at £19,530,000.

As the programme approached the final 18 months, the Accountable Body and the PMO, with guidance from BEIS, had undertaken a thorough risk analysis exercise of all projects which had resulted in a number of actions taken to ensure the programme is fully committed and able to achieve spend and output targets. A list of criteria was agreed and applied to assess all projects, such criteria included state aid eligibility and Black Country Joint Committee approval. In addition to this, any earmarked funding has now been removed from the programme.

Agreed that the LEP Board be recommended to approve the changes to the Local Growth Fund for 2018-19 financial year end, as detailed in the table appended to the minutes.

128/19 Dashboards

The following Dashboards were submitted: –

• In-flight

• Future Years

• Pipeline

• Growing Places


Agreed that the contents of the Dashboards be noted.

Dudley MBC Project Updates

129/19 Very Light Rail (VLR) Main Scheme

Members discussed the merits of the project with input from Dudley MBC attendees and identified funding streams for the VLR Main Scheme going forward.

Agenda Item 10

8

Agreed that the LEP Board be recommended to: - 1) Approve funding for the track element of the VLR Project to the

sum of £3.7m from the Growing Places Fund, part of the Growth Deal Fund, subject to confirmation of the associated management costs breakdown;

2) Approve the use of the Enterprise Zone Fund, subject to an accurate appraisal of available funds, for the VLR Innovation Centre element of the Project; and

3) Confirm to the European Regional Development Fund Team, the approval of funding and commitment of the LEP to the project.

(NB - Post meeting note: DMBC have confirmed that the overall Professional fees payable from the LEP funding are £2,848,631 with £679,534 of this being assigned to the track element of the project.)

130/19 Dudley College – Institute of Technology (IOT)

Lowell Williams advised that contracts were imminent for the Governments £18m contribution to build the IOT, this was predicated on the LEP’s match funding element, the bulk of which would be to purchase equipment to fit out the facility.

Agreed 1) that the current position in relation to Dudley IOT be noted; and

2) that the VLR project be the subject of weekly briefings to Dudley

MBC management team.

131/19 Project Change Request – Dudley Castle

Members were advised that the Dudley Castle Hill project (Castle Hill Vison: Car Park) was selected for approval in November 2013 for £300,000 Growing Places Funding for the provision of circa 600 space car and coach park to support the development of the Castle Hill visitor attractions.

The original lease plan did not take into account the land requirements of Metro in the longer term and more recently the decision to relocate the planned Tipton Road metro stop to Station Drive/Castle Hill. Dudley Council have been undertaking a piece of work with Urban Design and the small triangle of land (indicated on the plan provided for board members) which was proposed to lease to the Zoo, was now

Agenda Item 10

9

where the metro would run in addition to providing access to pedestrians, cyclists, cars, taxis and coaches in a very small area.

The Change request relates to the small piece of land – which was never part of the main deal of delivering car/coach parking spaces, which Dudley Council now considers prudent to hold onto for all the reasons above, and to subsequently take out of the lease agreement with the Zoo.

Members were advised that discussions had been held with the CEO of Dudley Zoo, and he was happy to proceed on this basis.

Agreed that the change request in respect of the amendment relating to the parcel of land be approved.

132/19 Date of Next Meetings

The dates of future meetings were noted and it was

Agreed that the next FSG note that the next meeting would be held on 4th September 2019.
