We Asked, You Said, We Did

Issues we have consulted on or engaged with people about and the outcomes.

We asked

A consultation was undertaken to collect feedback on the proposal to alter the age range at Long Lawford Primary School from 3-11 to 4-11 from September 2023.  This would allow the nursery provision to be govenor led rather than a maintained nursery class providing creating flexibility in the early years offer

You said

A statutory consultation was undertaken between 5 June and 2 July 2023, during which 5 responses were received. Of the 5 responses, 4 agreed with the proposal and one disagreed.

We did

The outcome of the consultation and recommendation were presented to Cabinet 13 July 2023 and subsequently approved by Cabinet members  - Cabinet report

We asked

WCC consulted on the proposed change in age range at the school from 3-7 to 4-7 from September 2023.  This would enable the nursery provision to be governor led rather than classfied as a maintained nursery class increasing the flexibility of the early years provision offer

You said

A statutory consultation was undertaken between 5 June and 2 July 2023, during which 2 responses were received. Both responders strongly agreed with the proposal

We asked

The Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care System focus is to address waiting times for a neurodevelopmental diagnostic assessment, including autism diagnosis. This includes finding ways to reduce waiting times for an assessment and improve the support available to people who are waiting for an assessment.

Two surveys were developed to seek views of people waiting for an assessment, those diagnosed with autism, and their family and support networks; as well as one for professionals; to find out more about what is working well and what could be improved in diagnostic and support provision.

The 2023 surveys were a repeat of the 2021 ones which were aimed at understanding if any change has been experienced by respondents, as a result of the new Autism Strategy implementation and increased resource targeted at reducing wait times and improving the offer of pre and post diagnostic support.

You said

204 responses were received to the public survey and 102 to the professionals one.

Responses are being analysed which will inform ongoing commissioning activity for the Autism Strategy delivery.

We did

A quantitative analysis of responses was completed. Qualitative feedback including comments made by respondents is being analysed. The responses will inform ongoing commissioning activity for the Autism Strategy delivery.

We asked

Warwickshire County Council with the support of the rail industry is bringing forward plans for Rugby Parkway Station, located approximately 5km South East of Rugby adjacent to the A428 Crick Road at Houlton. Situated on the Northampton Loop of the West Coast Mainline between Rugby Station and Long Buckby Station. Rugby Parkway Station will offer access to the local and national rail network with two trains per hour in each direction.

An application for outline planning permission for Rugby Parkway Station has been submitted; you can view the application on Warwickshire County Council’s planning pages: https://planning.warwickshire.gov.uk/swiftlg/apas/run/WCHVARYLOGIN.display

Prior to the submission of the planning application, Warwickshire County Council undertook a four-week pre-planning public engagement exercise which ran from 23 January 2023 to 20 February 2023. The engagement provided an opportunity for residents, businesses and other stakeholders to find out more about the station project and have their say at an early stage of the design development.

You said

Warwickshire County Council received 388 written responses either through the online Response Form, by e-mail or paper form completed at the drop-in engagement events. Responses received via e-mail or completed on paper copies of the Response Form were manually uploaded to be captured for analysis and reporting purposes.

A significant proportion of respondents (265 – 68%) indicated that they lived in Rugby Borough, 39 lived elsewhere and commute to/via Rugby (10%), 35 lived elsewhere (9%) and the remainder of respondents lived in neighbouring areas/counties.

Consultees were asked to indicate their level of support for the proposals presented. 229 respondents strongly agree/agree with the proposals (59%), 106 strongly disagree/disagree (27%), the remaining respondents are neutral or did not express an opinion.

Responses have been carefully considered by the project team and a report has been produced. Please click on this link to view this.

We did

At this phase of the project development the design of the station is at a very early stage. The submitted application seeks outline planning permission with all matters reserved, except for access to the highway network. All matters other than access to the site from the highway network will be the subject of a subsequent application for reserved matters approval. The reserved matters include the appearance, landscaping, layout, and scale. The plans presented for the public engagement were developed in line with rail industry standards for a station of this type. Much of the detail will be the subject of planning conditions set by the local planning authority, these will need to be discharged by the local planning authority prior to construction/installation.

What happens next

An application for outline planning permission for the station has been submitted to Warwickshire County Council. As at May 2023 a statutory consultation process is underway which will allow residents, businesses and other stakeholders a further opportunity to comment on the proposals prior to determination. You can find view and comment on the application by visiting Warwickshire County Council’s planning pages during the statutory consultation period - https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/commentingonplanning

A Statement of Community Engagement has been submitted as part of the planning application, this describes in more detail the public engagement process and the feedback received.

Future updates on Rugby Parkway Station will continue to be posted to the project’s web page at: https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/major-transport-construction-projects/rugby-parkway-station

We asked

We wished to obtain feedback on our draft Sustainable Futures Strategy and action plan before finalising the document. We considered this important as these issues will affect everyone that lives or works in Warwickshire. We want to ensure our Strategy is focussing on the right things. In particular: 

  • Views on our ambitions and if you think we are ambitious enough 

  • Feedback to help us to understand how to get more residents and other stakeholders involved 

  • How best to collaborate and partner 

  • The suitability of our action plan 

  • Help us to understand if there are any barriers to making progress and, if so, what these are. 

  • Funding and financing 

The method of engagement was though a public survey open from 18th November 2022 to 15th January 2023. This was hosted online although paper copies of survey forms were made available if requested.  

A series of externally facilitated focus groups were held in February 2023.  

The public survey had no specific target audience as we wished to hear from all in Warwickshire, however due to the nature of the questions, this was best suited for people acting as residents.  

The focus groups (7) were split into members from common audiences: Warwickshire based business; care, community, public sector, seldom heard (particularly the young), subject specialists; a residents group recruited through an expression of interest. An additional focus group for Warwickshire County Council Councillors was facilitated by Democratic Services.  

You said

There were 221 responses to the online survey. Of these 82.8% were responding as members of the general public, 5% as Warwickshire County Council employees, 4.5% as representatives of a local community or voluntary sector organisation and 3.2% as an employee of another public sector organisation.

  • 47.6% of 208 respondents thought that the scope of the Sustainable Futures Strategy was ‘about right’, with just over a third (36.5%, n=76) saying that it was ‘not ambitious enough’ and a further 15.9% saying the strategy was too ambitious. 
  • 57.8% of 206 respondents felt that the number of objectives included in the strategy was ‘about right’, with just over a quarter (27.7%) saying there were too many objectives and a further 14.6% saying that there were ‘not enough’ objectives. 
  • When asked ‘What else should we be doing?’. The most frequently mentioned theme was ‘refocus efforts, be more specific’. Other common themes mentioned included support green infrastructures, buildings, and transport; protect biodiversity/ limit waste; and increase collaboration. 
  • When asked ‘What should we stop doing or scale back?’. The most frequently mentioned theme was to shift focus on short-term goals and quick wins. Other themes mentioned included do not remove any objectives; and specific areas to focus on or not focus on. 

Feedback was collected on each of the six sustainable futures themes.

  • Of the six key delivery themes proposed in the strategy Energy (65.4%, n=138), Transport (60.7%, n=128) and ‘Wildlife, our Natural Environment and Biodiversity’ (57.8%, n=122) were the options most likely to feature in respondents’ Top 3 priorities.
  • The ‘Sustainable Communities and Green Economy’ theme was ranked in either 5th or 6th position as a priority out of the six themes by more than half of respondents (53.6%).

Feedback was also collected on our delivery principles.

  • The delivery principles selected as the most important by the highest number of respondents were ‘address climate change and biodiversity justly and equitably’, ‘be innovative in our thinking and lead others on the journey’ and ‘not accept the status quo; we will challenge and inspire’. Each were selected by at least half of respondents.
  • The delivery principle chosen by the least number of respondents as important was ‘share our success and learnings’.

Each theme includes an objective. The following feedback was obtained on these:

  • (Biodiversity) ‘Improve the richness and diversity of Warwickshire’s habitats, wildlife and landscapes’ was the highest rated objective within this delivery theme (rated by 90.0% as very important or important). 
  • (Transport) ‘Provide low emission public transport options to serve Warwickshire’s communities’ was the highest rated objective within this delivery theme (rated by 86.4% as very important or important).  
  • (Built environment) ‘Work in partnership with Warwickshire’s district and boroughs to minimise carbon emissions in existing housing to make sure new housing has net zero emissions’ was the highest rated objective within this delivery theme (rated by 85.5% as very important or important). This was closely followed by ‘Minimise carbon emissions from any new Council buildings that we either build, acquire or lease’ (83.7%). 
  • (Energy) ‘Facilitate the take-up of low carbon energy solutions for residents and communities’ was the highest rated objective within this delivery theme (rated by 80.1% as very important or important). 
  • (Resources, waste and circular economy) Both ‘reduce amount of waste per head going to landfill to near zero by 2050’ and ‘reduce waste from Council buildings’ were the highest rated objectives within this delivery theme (rated by 82.8% % as very important or important). 
  • (Sustainable communities and green economy) ‘Lead by example by procuring sustainably and supporting the development of a localised green economy’ was the highest rated objective within this delivery theme (rated by 81.4% as very important or important). 

We received multiple offers by experts, practitioners, academics and community volunteers to support the Council in refining the Strategy.

Key messages from the focus groups were:

Partnership, engagement and collaboration. A strong willingness in working with the Council to share expertise, knowledge and project experience and ultimately support the Council on the journey of the Strategy. There was some disappointment that engagement on the strategy had not begun earlier, and some have asked if there an opportunity to provide further comment on the draft Strategy. The development and sharing of the strategy has created an opportunity for a more joined up and ambitious approach for WCC to work in partnership with others.

2050 net zero target. Provide more granular breakdown of Warwickshire emissions to allow improved targeting. Not enough interim and long-term targets; The Council should set a ‘high ambition’ emissions target for Warwickshire for 2030.Include a metric for air quality.

Action plan for Warwickshire encompassing our 2050 target. There was an overwhelming response from the focus groups, individual responses, and several in the Councillor session relating to the absence of an area based action plan to meet the ambitions for each of the six themes across Warwickshire. Comments suggested this left the strategy ‘partial’, ‘generally vague’, lacking ‘a pathway to achieving the goals’, with ‘a lack of tangible targets and proper resourcing’ and giving concern as to ‘how we're actually going to achieve it’. “there is too much reliance on offsetting which is inadequate”

Funding: The overwhelming feedback recognises that access to finance will restrict our ability to meet our ambitions and goals. Some in the focus group fed back that bidding for grant money is complex, resource intensive and competitive (a point also made in the recent Mission Zero independent report for HM Government). Some suggested banks and industry have a role to play. Others recommended we bid jointly with others.

Strategy themes: Overall support although a need for relevant targets and frameworks to demonstrate how the goals can be delivered. We identified there may be challenges communicating the joint aims of the sustainable communities and green economy theme to our audience. Food was cited as a major omission and should be considered as a stand-alone theme. Others that climate change adaptation should be included. Also, that a seventh cross-cutting theme could be introduced to capture human capital, pooling knowledge, and bringing experts together.

Communications. It was clear from breakdown of respondents in the survey and the focus group recruitment resulted in disproportionate representation despite best efforts to gather views from all. It was fed back to us that there is work to be done to improve awareness of the strategy. Some members of the focus groups recognise the difficulty of appealing to some groups. These particularly include young people, students, people early in their careers and those with young families. We were also able to gather feedback on preferred communication methods.

Tone and language. One of delivery principles as drafted is ‘emphasise prosperity as a focus for sustainable growth’. This didn’t sit well with some. Additionally, there were reoccurring comments of this nature around the ‘deliver a strategy that is value for money’ principle. In these and similar instances, we will be reviewing how we communicate our approach to delivery.

The complete executive summary of the survey is published here

Key messages were summarised in Section 2 of the Cabinet paper

We did

These findings and feedback will be closely considered in the development of a final Sustainable Futures Strategy due to be presented to Cabinet in November 2023. This will be augmented by additional feedback following a resolution to commence further engagement.

As a result of strong interest and engagement in the Strategy across Warwickshire, coupled with multiple offers to support the Council in refining the Strategy, it was recommended to Cabinet that further engagement be undertaken over the summer.

It was recommended that several theme-based expert panels be established with the specific aim of deriving shared solutions, understanding barriers and initiating collaboration. Taking advantage of these offers would also have the benefit of resulting in a strategy with improved stakeholder buy-in to the strategic aims and partnership actions and a strategy that has been subject to external scrutiny. 

At Cabinet on the 15th June 2023, Councillor Heather Timms, portfolio holder for Environment, Climate & Culture applauded the strong engagement from various groups and the ambition to extend that work further. She gave an overview of the different stakeholder groups involved and the proposed establishment of expert panels to help to further develop this work. The aim was to present the draft strategy to the Overview and Scrutiny Committees in September 2023 before submission to Cabinet in the Autumn.

In resolving the matter, Cabinet:

 1)    Acknowledges the progress made since the approval for engagement of the draft Sustainable Futures Strategy in October 2022 and the stakeholder feedback.

2)    Supports the establishment of theme based expert panels drawn from industry and Warwickshire communities to enable production of a final strategy and action plan; and

3) Requests that the draft strategy be considered by Overview and Scrutiny Committees in September 2023, and the Members’ Climate Emergency Group on 20th September 2023 for comment and any recommendations before consideration of the final Sustainable Futures Strategy and supporting action plan by Cabinet.

 

The Sustainable Futures Strategy Cabinet paper considered on the 15th June 2023 contained the following:

  • Recommendations
  • Section 2: findings from the engagement work
  • Section 7: Recommendations, and timescales

This paper was supported by Appendix 1: summary feedback and reasoning

We asked

A survey was required as part of the project evaluation For Our Spaces to explore place sentiment and to gain an insight into the response to public art interventions beyond social media commentary. (Our Spaces – Warwickshire County Council)

To make best use of this opportunity, the research questions were enhanced to enable responses to inform future projects within the place, projects and partnerships team.

The survey was complementary to the University of Warwick’s Getting Creative with Sustainablity programme. For more information on this click on the links below:

Warwick University - Assessing the social impacts of ‘Our Spaces’

Coventry City of Culture 2021 - Assessing the social impacts of our spaces

You said

Key messages from the survey findings that will be applied to future project design include:

  1. Suggestions to improve the towns
  2. Values and feelings toward art, heritage and community

Information will be shared with local stakeholders including:

  1. good things about the towns
  2. descriptions of the towns where helpful

Other information will be used in the Our Spaces evaluation.

We did

As part of our medium term work plans we will:

  • Develop a plan to communicate findings with stakeholders and other services areas
  • Update Our Spaces project evaluation
  • Consider the usefulness of such projects for public engagement:  the Our Spaces project has allowed the team to develop new connections and new projects. This survey offers legacy benefits for planning future projects.

We asked

Warwickshire County Council undertook a public engagement to the proposed St John’s Junction Improvements scheme in Warwick Town Centre. Engagement took place in November/December 2022; feedback was requested via a public survey, in person drop-in sessions and an online Teams event. These results were reviewed, including open-ended comments and letter/email responses submitted to the council, capturing key themes.

You said

A total of 326 surveys were received, mostly from Warwickshire residents, of whom 55% live in Warwick Town centre.  

The key findings are; 

  • Respondents are broadly supportive of the scheme objectives and agree with the scheme in principle. The feedback demonstrates a strong level of support for improving the area around St. John’s from an active travel, traffic management and environmental perspective, with just under two thirds of respondents either “agreeing” or “strongly agreeing” with the scheme objectives. 

  • However, specific proposals of the scheme attracted a significant amount of negative feedback, particularly concerning the loss of car parking spaces. This may reflect the high level of car travel amongst respondents and level of parking usage at St. John’s. There is also a strong reaction from local shoppers and business owners, with existing concerns over the vitality of the town centre due to a lack of available spaces. Removal of parking, which is already at a premium, was generally not well received.  

  • Many respondents offered suggestions such as better management of existing spaces, rather than reducing the overall number of spaces, would be beneficial and should be explored in more detail. Respondents were broadly supportive of providing a loading bay and more disabled spaces, however there were concerns that these would get abused without proper policing.  

  • Respondents broadly recognise existing issues in the area in regards to congestion, rat running and the premise for reducing car parking and restricting turning movements in/out of the service road. However, many did not believe the scheme would have a material impact on active travel; indeed, key concerns included the mixing of pedestrians and cyclists, local road safety issues and potential loss of pedestrian priority at signalised crossings.  

  • Local residents were also concerned by restricting turning movements onto St Nicholas Church Street from St. John’s service road but also from Smith Street, despite the latter not being included in the proposals. Congestion on Coventry Road and Coten End was raised by a number of respondents, with some thinking that this could get worse with the proposals. The introduction of signalised crossing garnered a mixed response, with a lack of consensus as to whether this would improve or exacerbate traffic flow problems.  

  • Many respondents agreed with improving the look and feel of St. John’s, although some questioned the level of intervention required, due to perceived cost. Some respondents were also concerned by the removal of existing trees in the area. Overall, landscaping interventions were well received by respondents by way of improving the look and feel of the area; however, this may be negated by lack of perceived safety in the area, e.g. by mixing pedestrian and cycling traffic.  

WCC Response

  • Regarding the loss of car parking spaces and management; The current parking spaces are substandard, as they are currently too small. The proposals upgraded the spaces to modern standards making them safer and easier to use. The scheme also provides better provision for cycle parking encouraging alternative modes of travel.  
  • Regarding the material impact on active travel; This scheme is part of an overall programme of works to improve active travel in the area. These schemes will provide safe corridors for active travel users.  
  • Regarding restricting turning movements; The scheme has been modelled and does not have a negative effective on the overall traffic flow within Warwick. This scheme is also part of the wider Warwick Town Centre improvements, with this scheme enabling those future changes to take place.   
  • Regarding the cost of the scheme; WCC believe the benefits to improved look and feel of this area, justify any additional cost to the scheme.   

We did

Next Steps; 

  • Detailed design is underway, with final proposals being shared publicly in due course. 
  • Following detailed design, a procurement exercise will be undertaken and contractor will be appointed. 
  • Once contractor is appointed construction will start, subject to availability of contractor and road space.  

We asked

Our new local transport plan, LTP4, and supporting information were consulted upon for eight weeks from 24 Sep to 20 Nov. The consultation was open to all interested parties.

This followed a previous round of consultation in 2021 on the key themes of Environment, Well-being, Economy and Place which provided the foundation for the development of LTP4.

Running in parallel with the consultations a Citizens Panel was engaged in the evaluation and assessment of LTP4 throughout most of its development.

You said

Just over 300 responses were received on the consultation on the draft LTP4 and these, together with the views of the Citizens Panel, a representative group of 30 Warwickshire residents, have shaped the production of the LTP document.

There has been broad overall support for the key themes of the new LTP: environment, well-being, economy and place. Respondents have placed particular emphasis on wishing to see the new Plan deliver environmental and personal well-being benefits through a range of transport interventions.

Click here to read the full consultation analysis report.

Key themes that emerged from the consultation processes included:

  • improving active travel facilities for walking and cycling to support active lifestyles
  • general improvements in/encouragement to use sustainable (public) transport
  • planning to reduce the reliance on private cars and to enable electrification where possible
  • concerns around the pressures of housing developments and/or increasing populations on the existing transportation network(s)
  • clear and measurable action plan(s) to implement strategies and methods for monitoring progress (success and/or failures)
  • current frustration around implementation and time taken to see progress importance of consultation, engagement and communication with residents and stakeholders throughout the process

We did

The views of the consultation and the Citizens Panel have informed the development of the final LTP4 document.

In response to feedback, next steps are to deliver on the strategic aims of LTP4 through the development of action and monitoring plans. These will provide greater detail both on individual schemes and more general transport interventions. Annual monitoring and reporting will provide evidence of delivery of the new Plan’s overall aim which is to decarbonise transport and provide a modern, sustainable transport network.

We asked

We asked the communities of Warwickshire to share their views on our Prevention, Protection and Response Strategy 2022-27 which is one of the components of our Community Risk Management Plan.

You said

There were a total of 465 respondents to the online survey, and 7 e-mails received containing views and feedback on the Prevention, Protection and Response strategy.

Overall, the strategy was strongly supported by the majority of respondents to the survey.

  • A high proportion of respondents (90.5%) agreed or strongly agreed that we should target our resources to reduce risk.
  • The majority of respondents agreed with the Prevention, Protection and Response priorities; however, it is worth noting that where 90.9% and 90.5% of respondents respectively agreed with the prevention and protection priorities, with regards to the response priorities, 61.7% agreed whilst 32.1% did not agree.
  •  A high proportion of respondents (87.5%) agreed, or strongly agreed, that the service offer would meet their safety needs.
  • A high proportion of respondents (86.1%) agreed that the Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service approach will ensure that the priorities are delivered in the right way.
  •  A high proportion of respondents (79.5%) were satisfied that the strategy will make Warwickshire the best it can be both now and in the future.

For every question, respondents were asked to give a reason for their answer. It is worth noting that a higher proportion of those who disagreed or strongly disagreed with the question elaborated on their response, compared to those who agreed or strongly agreed.

We asked

We undertook three surveys as part of the Coventry and Warwickshire Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA), all of which were targeted within Coventry and Warwickshire:

  • Public Survey – the aim of this survey was to understand the public's usage of pharmacies and identify any public concern or issues with pharmacy access.
  • Pharmacy Survey – the aim of this survey was to understand the services offered by pharmacies in Coventry and Warwickshire. This survey was targeted at pharmacy owners.
  • Formal Consultation – the aim of this survey was to establish if the PNA had accurately reflected the needs of pharmacies within Coventry and Warwickshire. This survey was open to the public but was targeted at the key organisations we needed to consult with.

You said

Public Survey – There were 1,601 responses to the public survey across Coventry and Warwickshire. The key themes from this included:

  • On average, respondents tended to use pharmacies once or twice a month, or once or twice every other month.
  • Respondents were most likely to drive or walk to a pharmacy.
  • It takes most respondents less than 15 minutes to get to their pharmacy.
  • The majority of respondents use the same community pharmacy all of, or most of the time.
  • Efficient and quick service, location of pharmacy, and friendly staff were the top 3 factors most important to respondents in their pharmacy.
  • Between 9am and 1pm on a Saturday was identified as the most convenient time to access community pharmacies.
  • Pharmacists were for some viewed as a positive alternative to making GP appointments.
  • A frequent concern was that prescriptions were not ready for collection or had items out of stock.
  • Respondents observed how busy some of their local pharmacies were and felt there was a lack of capacity.
  • Respondents sometimes reported that when they sought additional health advice as per NHS recommended pathway to self-care, staff including pharmacists were unwilling to offer advice preferring instead to refer to GP services.

Pharmacy Survey – 161 pharmacies out of the 197 in Coventry and Warwickshire responded to the pharmacy survey. The results allowed us to see the provision of a wide range of services, which when analysed showed a good offering of services proportionate to need.

Formal Consultation – 34 people downloaded the PNA as part of this formal consultation, with 5 responding. Whilst the response rate to the formal consultation was low both Health and Wellbeing Boards are happy with the sight and opportunity given during the process for all key stakeholders. Key themes included:

  • The purpose of the PNA has been explained in the document.
  • The PNA reflects the current provision of pharmacy services within the area.
  • Most respondents felt the PNA reflected the needs of the area and there were no gaps in service, with only the End-of-Life Medicines service being highlighted. The issue raised for this service was a concern around lack of provision across the counties.
  • Respondents were happy that the PNA provided information to inform market entry decisions.
  • The PNA provides information to inform how pharmaceutical services may be commissioned in the future.
  • The PNA has provided enough information to inform future pharmaceutical service provisions and plans for pharmacies and dispensing appliance contractors.
  • The majority of respondents agreed that all pharmacy services that need to be highlighted had been highlighted and agreed with the conclusion of the PNA, with only the End-of-Life Medicines service being mentioned here as above.
  • A comment was made regarding a change in Boots Pharmacies opening Times.

We did

Public Survey – following this survey the following actions took place:

  • Maps were included to show drive time, public transport time, and cycling time to community pharmacies. Walk time was also analysed, but a separate map was not produced.
  • A map to show the community pharmacy provision on a Saturday between 9am – 1pm was produced.
  • Taking into consideration the concerns highlighted around prescriptions, access, and capacity, work was done to understand the cause of this which led to the inclusion of a section highlighting the pressures on community pharmacies and how this impacts the customer experience and service quality. This led to recommendations around imbedding community pharmacies in pathways to improve information, and monitoring these pressures moving forward, particularly against the Cost of Living pressures.

Pharmacy Survey – Following this survey the provision of pharmacies was analysed and the conclusion made that there is a good spread of services across the county.

Formal Consultation – following the formal consultation the following was done:

  • Boots opening times were checked and confirmed to be accurate within the PNA.

The Coventry and Warwickshire Community Pharmacy Steering Group was asked to discuss the provision of End-of-Life Medicines. They discussed how commissioners currently have a set number of pharmacies they commission this service to and cannot exceed that number. This is being reviewed, and a supplementary statement to this PNA will be produced should this be changed. A recommendation on End-of-Life Medicines was expanded to reflect this.

The Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment 2022 has now been published. Please click on this link to go to the website page.

We asked

The Service User Survey for current users of domiciliary care; their families, friends and carers; and members of the public sought to capture:

  • views and experiences about the current commissioned domiciliary care provision in Warwickshire (what works well and what could be improved);
  • views about potential future service provision (related to what currently works well and what could be improved).

You said

The level of responses was strong in absolute numbers – 249 responses prior to the closing date.  This represents about 12 percent of current service users.  Responses were received from all districts and boroughs in Warwickshire.

These responses highlighted areas of satisfaction with the current service provision as well as elements which could be improved:

  • 66 percent of responses either strongly agreed or agreed that the service meets the needs of the person receiving care;
  • The single most important issue in receiving a domiciliary care service was to feel safe with the carers.

Concerns identified with the current provision included timeliness of care calls (both in terms of calls being on time and the difference in time between calls) and consistency of carers (service users preferred to have the same care staff coming regularly).

We did

The timeline for the retender has been amended due to a contract extension approval, therefore the new contract will come into force later than anticipated originally.

Survey feedback and comments were analysed and fed-back to senior management in all relevant teams via an evaluation report and presentation at the steering group in October 2022.

The issues identified have been discussed and will be considered as part of the tendering process at all stages.  This includes design of the future service model to see how the strengths of the existing service can be retained and the weaknesses remedied.

We asked

People in Coventry and Warwickshire were invited to have a say on the region's approach to prevent suicide. 

Warwickshire County Council and Coventry City Council are working together with other local organisations and services to create a new joint approach to providing information, services and support across the area to help prevent suicide. 

A new strategy will outline how local organisations and services will work together to achieve the vision that no one in Coventry and Warwickshire ever feels that suicide is their only option. 

Coventry and Warwickshire Suicide Prevention Partnership will use this strategy to make positive change and asked for opinions to ensure the approach will have a positive impact. 

You said

The following different engagement opportunities were made available as part of the development of the Coventry and Warwickshire Suicide Prevention Strategy:

Local strategic partnerships: a number of local partnership boards were engaged with developing the vision and approach for the Suicide Prevention strategy.

Stakeholder workshops: Through a series of workshops, local organisations and services told us that our approach to suicide prevention across Coventry and Warwickshire needs to:  

  • have clear and consistent messaging  
  • raise awareness of suicide prevention within communities and organisations 
  • ensure that people know where to go for the right support at the right time 
  • understand and reflect the reasons that may lead to suicide or suicidal thought 
  • be relevant to all ages and different communities and population groups 
  • target people and groups at higher risk of suicide 
  • involve people with lived experience  
  • provide support to the people who are working with or caring for people who self harm or are at risk of suicide 
  • use the knowledge and experience of existing networks and groups to share best practice  
  • enable the sharing of information to support better joint working and coordination of service delivery 
  • focus on prevention and early intervention to support the emotional wellbeing of people   

Public engagement survey: This engagement process concluded that the strategic vision and priorities were largely consistent with what respondents felt was needed. There was an emphasis on societal risk factors and prevention at the earliest opportunity. Specific themes were identified in relation to:  

  • The need for early intervention and support before crisis is reached 
  • Ensuring that individual needs are at the centre of any intervention, particularly at crisis point 
  • Tackling risk factors that might be a causal factor for suicide  
  • Taking a holistic approach that takes account of the individual and complex nature of suicidal crisis and ideation
  • Coproduction and ensuring that lived experience forms the basis of suicide prevention activity  
  • Funding, service capacity and joined up working locally 
  • Increasing awareness of suicide so that people are better to equipped to identify and support individuals in suicidal crisis 
  • Improving the general wellbeing and resilience of individuals and communities  

We did

Overall, our engagement activities concluded that there was overall agreement with the ambitions and priorities of the new suicide prevention strategy.

A significant amount of rich information was gathered from both organisations and individuals through this process. This will be used to inform the suicide prevention delivery planning process.

Where appropriate, the feedback from the public engagement survey will be reflected in the suicide prevention work programme, with specific actions developed in response to this.

The new Coventry and Warwickshire Suicide Prevention Strategy 2023-2030 was endorsed by both the Coventry and Warwickshire Health and Wellbeing Boards in January 2023. Please click on the links below for more information.

Warwickshire Health and Wellbeing Board: 11 January 2023. (Agenda item 6)

Coventry Health and Wellbeing Board: 23 January 2023. (Agenda item 8)

A further paper was submitted to Warwickshire County Council’s Cabinet in April 2023 to confirm the Council’s approval of the Strategy.

The published version of the Strategy is currently being finalised and will be available on the WCC website once published.  

We asked

Coventry City Council and Warwickshire County Council invited people to take part in this survey to help to inform and shape future local sexual health services.  

The survey focused on gathering feedback to shape the new service focussing on:

  • Reducing health inequalities
  • Expanding availability of services
  • Improving engagement with people with additional and complex needs
  • Increased use of ‘at home’ interventions

The survey was open to everyone, an additional Easy Read survey has been developed and is currently with key organisations.

You said

There were 248 responses, of which 74.2% (184) were answering on behalf of themselves, 23% (57) as professionals and others on behalf of someone else or a group.

A good mix of people from Coventry and boroughs/districts in Warwickshire responded – 27.8% (52) Coventry, 5.3% (10) North Warwickshire Borough, 10.7% (20) Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough, 13.4% (25) Rugby Borough, 15% (28) Stratford-in-Avon District, 26.2% (49) Warwick District. In addition there were other people who responded from somewhere else or preferred not to say.

Of the responses, 47.1% had used services in either of the Local Authority areas, 40.1% have never used services, 5.9% used services in both Local Authority areas, 7% used services outside the Local Authority areas, 19.3% had not needed services, the other percentage covered other options.

Key messages when looking at barriers to accessing services included:

  • Times / days of opening
  • Location of clinics
  • No service nearby
  • Confidentiality
  • Embarrassment
  • Poor previous experience
  • Not feeling understood
  • Other

Additional information was gathered through open text box responses, this gave further insightful information.

We did

The detailed report has been shared with colleagues in Coventry, the information will be used to support the Needs Assessment and be used to ensure the service model section of the Service Specification reflects the needs of the Local Authority residents.

A small number of written responses in the free text boxes have caused concern, these have been taken to the current service providers for immediate action.

All responses will be used in the building of the Service Specification which will become a public document on its completion.

Information will also be used to support the Needs Assessment.

We asked

Warwickshire County Council's Road Safety Education Team conducted this survey to identify current behaviours and attitudes towards active travel, and to learn how and why people walk and cycle, or why they currently don’t.

The aims of the survey were to:

  • Identify barriers to active travel in Warwickshire.
  • Identify appropriate support and resources to encourage and enable active travel in Warwickshire, particularly for journeys 5 miles and under.
  • Identify potential gaps in provision and education in Warwickshire.

The survey was designed to identify how best to support and enable Warwickshire residents to choose active travel as a mode of transport, and shape future educational interventions and campaigns. Responses from the survey will be used to help design a brand-new community campaign (#JustOneJourney) focussing on promoting active travel across Warwickshire, ensuring targeted and effective information and messaging.

The public were encouraged to take part in the survey through Ask Warwickshire and Facebook and Twitter promotion.

You said

The survey received 863 responses from Warwickshire residents, with geographic representation from across Warwickshire. 6.72% were from North Warwickshire, 8.57% Nuneaton and Bedworth, 17.84% Rugby Borough, 41.14% Warwick District and 23.75% Stratford District. 31 responses were from non-Warwickshire residents who regularly visited Warwickshire.

Key information has been calculated from the number of respondents who answered the specific question.

Key statistics highlighted:

  • 41% of respondents use the car to travel to and from work, with only 10% currently walking, 16% by bicycle and 9% using a combination of public transport and active travel. These statistics indicate the importance of promoting commuting by active and sustainable modes and engaging with workplaces and employees.
  • 14% of respondents currently travel by car to visit family/friends for journeys 1 mile and under, and 52% for journeys 5 miles and under.
  • Fewer residents' cycle than walk, with over 40% stating that they do not cycle due to lack of confidence.
  • 77% of respondents strongly agree or agree that walking is convenient for journeys 1 mile and under and 70% that walking is time efficient. Only 10% strongly agree or agree that there is a good level of information about walking routes provided.
  • 44% of respondents strongly agree or agree that cycling is convenient for journeys 5 miles and under. 10% believe that there is a good level of information about cycle routes provided.
  • 89% of respondents would prefer to travel actively for journeys 1 mile and under, and 60% for journeys 5 miles and under.

Key themes included:

  • Recognition of personal responsibility to travel actively and sustainably;
  • A clear understanding of the positive outcomes on health and well-being, environment and financial;
  • Belief that walking for journeys 1 mile and under is an effective use of time;
  • Belief that cycling for journeys 5 miles and under is an effective use of time.

The survey highlighted that for more uptake in walking and cycling in Warwickshire there needs to be:

  • An improved level of information of walking and cycling routes throughout Warwickshire;
  • More accessible route planning;
  • Safer walking and cycling routes;
  • Improved cycle parking;
  • Improved storage.

In addition to quantitative data, qualitative data indicated that there are concerns when walking, which include cyclists on footpaths, vehicles parked on pavements and road users not adhering to the Highway Code.

We did

This survey has helped us learn about Warwickshire residents' attitudes towards active travel and current travel behaviours. The findings from the survey have helped us develop and launch a new Safe and Active Travel website:  https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/warwickshire-safe-active-travel

The website has a variety of information and resources, developed in response to key themes highlighted in the survey. Including:

  • Information about walking and cycling in Warwickshire;
  • Journey planners;
  • Travel plans;
  • Videos and route maps; and
  • Extensive information for Schools, Workplaces and Communities around being more active.

Next Steps:

  • Promote the new Safe and Active Travel website via social media and with schools, workplaces and communities. This will be a one stop for shop for active and sustainable travel in Warwickshire.
  • Develop and refine a community campaign to encourage and promote active travel, ensuring messaging reflects Warwickshire’s needs.
  • Finalise development, deliver and evaluate a pilot behaviour change intervention for workplaces focussing on increasing the number of journeys made actively and sustainably to and from work.

The Road Safety Education Team would like to thank all members of the public who took the time to complete this survey and share their active travel experiences with us.

We asked

We asked for views on the proposal to extend the age range of Brownsover Community Infant School from 3-7 to 3-11 from September 2026. This would allow the School to change from a two form entry (2FE) infant school to a one form entry (1FE) primary school with the school offering year 3 places from September 2026. This would increase the school size by 30 pupil places from 180 places to 210 places.

You said

A total of 78 responses were received. Of the responses received, 60% were in agreement with the proposal, and 40% disagreed with the proposal.

We did

On 14th July 2022 Cabinet reviewed the report and approved the following recommendations:

1.Approves changing the age range at Brownsover Community Infant School from 3 to 7 to 3 to 11 with effect from September 2026

2. Authorises applying to the Office of the Schools Adjudicator in relation to the proposed reduction in the school’s Published Admission Number (PAN) from 60 to 30 from September 2023

3. Approves, subject to the approval of recommendation 1, that £0.965 million is added to the capital programme to deliver the scheme outlined in section 1, funded from Department for Education capital grant and developer funding.

4. Authorises, subject to the approval of recommendation 3, the Strategic Director for Communities in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Education to invite tenders and enter into the appropriate contracts on terms and conditions considered acceptable to the Strategic Director for Resources, to make the necessary funding arrangements for these schemes.

We asked

We carried out engagement to hear from Warwickshire residents and Health and Lifestyle Professionals about different delivery ideas and models for the new physical health service.

The engagement was in relation to:

  • Adult Weight Management
  • Physical Activity
  • Smoking Cessation
  • NHS Health Checks

The aim of the engagement was to learn about future delivery ideas, how best to support Warwickshire residents to lead a healthier lifestyle, and how to ensure smooth referral pathways for Health Professionals.

You said

There were two separate surveys, one for Warwickshire Residents and a second for Health and Lifestyle Professionals. Both surveys took place between 2nd April and 8th May 2022 and was hosted on Warwickshire County Council’s Ask Warwickshire consultation hub.

We received 956 responses in total. With the Health and Lifestyle Professional survey, 48% worked for the NHS Trust. With the Warwickshire resident survey, 53% were from South Warwickshire, 30% Warwickshire North and 17% from Rugby.

Key statistics highlighted the following:

  • 81% of Warwickshire residents and 91% of Health and Lifestyle Professionals stated a “one stop shop” to ensure ease of access to the physical health services available. A one stop shop will consist of one website, one telephone number and email address.
  • 90% of Health and Lifestyle Professionals thought Warwickshire residents should have the ability to self-refer into the new physical health service, alongside continuing with Health Professional referrals.
  • Both Health and Lifestyle Professionals (96%) and Warwickshire residents (78%) stated individuals who are physically inactive (are active for less than 30 minutes a week) and with no long term health condition should receive support in the new service.

Lastly, additional delivery methods need to be considered beyond face to face, such as virtual workshops, online chat functions, and telephone behavioural guidance.

We did

This engagement has provided an understanding of Warwickshire resident’s and Health and Lifestyle Professional’s views and opinions towards differing delivery approaches for the new physical health service. 

The findings from the surveys will help define the new service, such as;

  • Permitting both self referrals and Health Professionals
  • Creating a one stop shop whereby referrals can easily be made into the new service to access weight management, Smoking Cessation or physical activity support.
  • Tailored delivery approaches with a greater emphasize on digital technologies, whilst still delivering face to face workshops.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts and experiences with us.

We asked

Following publication of the Warwickshire Bus Service Improvement Plan in October 2021, a statutory consultation was carried out on the Warwickshire Enhanced Partnership (EP Plan); and Warwickshire EP Scheme 1.

You said

A total of 252 responses to the consultation were received, of which, 231 no. were from the public and 21 no. were from either statutory consultees, County Councillors, local organisations or businesses. The key highlights taken from the analysis of the consultation responses were as follows:

A total of 78.2% of respondents either agreed or strongly agreed with the vision for improving local bus travel in Warwickshire presented in the Warwickshire EP Plan;

A total of 8.8% of respondents either disagreed or strongly disagreed with the vision for improving local bus travel in Warwickshire, with the key themes influencing their response being as follows:

  • The need for further improvements to bus service integration;
  • The need for bus services to be more reliable;
  • The need for improvements to bus information provision at bus stops;
  • The need for closer working links with neighbouring authorities including the West Midlands Combined Authority for those making cross boundary journeys from Warwickshire;
  • Bus travel was too expensive; and o Bus services need to be more frequent

In general, there was a strong level of support for each of the planned measures within EP Plan, i.e., more frequent and reliable bus services, cheaper and easier fares and provide a more comprehensive bus network, which is easier to understand and use.

A total of 64.3% of respondents either agreed or strongly agreed that the draft EP Plan will improve local bus travel in Warwickshire, assuming all the planned measures can be delivered.

A total of 45.4% of the respondents were ‘not sure’ or ‘didn’t know’ whether they were happy that the processes and governance set out were adequate for delivering the EP Plan.

We did

On the 10 March 2022, WCC Cabinet considered a report which included the outcomes of the consultation. A series of recommendations were made in response to the feedback received through the consultation exercise. After receiving feedback from the DfT on the draft Warwickshire EP Plan, County Council officers will seek to include these recommendations when modifying the EP Plan in the phase of the action plan starting after the EP is brought into effect in April.

The recommendations included in the report were as follows:

  • Provide better emphasis and explanation of the vision and measures of the EP to the public;
  • Ensure that details of the EP governance are made clearer;
  • Provide more adequate representation of the public in the governance of the EP;
  • Continue focus on obtaining wider representation of different demographics and from different areas in future consultations;
  • Consider all relevant comments relating to the detail of different measures when developing future EP Schemes, including those received by statutory consultees;
  • An Equalities Impact Assessment should be undertaken on the current and future EP Scheme(s);
  • The Warwickshire Bus Network Review to consider location and times of trip generators;
  • Avoid introducing measures to restrict car use until a viable alternative is in place;
  • Ensure all future documents are easier to read and understand;
  • Continue regular dialogue with neighbouring authorities when developing EP Schemes, and include suggestions in future EP Schemes or a variation to the current EP Scheme;
  • Carefully weigh up the benefits of focusing investment in urban areas vs rural areas when deciding on the programme of improvements, and circulate the reasons for prioritisation of funds to County Councillors;
  • Review the targets for passenger satisfaction in the next revision of the Warwickshire BSIP;
  • Provide more clarity within the next revision of the EP Plan on how the Enhanced Partnership intends to consult users on how well the EP is working;
  • Seek legal advice throughout the development of measures and EP Schemes to ensure compliance with competition law.

After considering the report WCC Cabinet Cabinet made the following decions:

  1. Authorised the Strategic Director for Communities to make the Enhanced Partnership Plan and Scheme by the end of April 2022.
  2. Authorised the Strategic Director for Communities to carry out the appropriate procedures to make the minor modifications to the Scheme mentioned in the report considered.
  3. Authorised the Strategic Director for Communities, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Transport and Planning, to make the further modifications to the Plan and Scheme mentioned in the report having consulted with the Department for Transport (DfT) and undertaken the necessary statutory consultations.
  4. Authorised the Strategic Director for Communities, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Transport and Planning, to submit the drafts of an Enhanced Partnership Scheme 2 and an Enhanced Partnership Scheme 3 to the DfT later in 2022-23 if he considers it appropriate in light of decisions on the award of external funding and negotiations with operators.

We asked

A six-week engagement was held to seek feedback and comments on the draft Coventry and Warwickshire's Living Well with Dementia Strategy. This took place from 21st September to 31st October 2021.

We engaged with people living with dementia, carers, volunteers, the general public and professionals across Coventry and Warwickshire.  A range of ways to give feedback was offered, including through completion of an online survey and through in-person engagement (including one to one conversations, small groups, and larger groups).

We asked people how strongly they agreed or disagreed with the vision for the strategy, and specifically about each of the six priority areas in the strategy. We also asked some additional questions including about support for carers and how easy (or not) it was to understand the strategy.

You said

85 people responded to the survey

253 people with dementia and carers took part in the in-person engagement. This included 38 people with dementia, 84 carers of people with dementia, 131 people involved in mixed groups of people with dementia and carers.

4 emails providing feedback about the strategy were received.

  • In-person engagement: The key message was that people wanted more information on what support is available and how to access it.
  • Feedback highlighted a lack of awareness of available services, with carers often learning about support through word of mouth, emphasising the importance of peer support networks.
  • Survey responses: Many people were in strong agreement or agreement with the Priority areas and objectives (for 5 of the 6 priorities, this was approximately 90% of respondents (range was 87-92%). For Priority Three – Supporting Well – 84% of respondents strongly agreed or agreed with the objectives.

The key themes were that:

  • There needs to be more awareness of support available for carers and people with dementia. Carers should not have to spend time finding out about services.
  • Support needs to be in place early after diagnosis, and support needs to be available evenings and weekends.
  • There needs to be greater reference to the support available to carers throughout the strategy.

The majority of negative comments were in relation to whether there was enough funding to achieve the strategy and that more detail was needed about how the strategy would be achieved.

The engagement reports (one from the survey and one from the in-person engagement) are available in the 'Results updated' section below.

We did

To respond to feedback from the engagement, the strategy will be developed in the following ways:

  • Greater explanation that the strategy is a system wide strategy (e.g., that it involves many different organisations including Local Authority, Health and Voluntary sector)
  • The Vision for the strategy will be further developed so it is less broad.
  • Greater detail about how the strategy will be achieved will be included in the Delivery Plan for the overall strategy.  The Delivery Plan will include objectives for each Priority Area. These objectives will include details about the organisation(s) responsible for achieving them and the timeframes for when work will take place. The Strategy Delivery Plan will be reviewed regularly (at least every six months) and updated annually.
  • Ensure the delivery objectives for Priority Areas link together e.g., the Priority Area for Diagnosis and Support after diagnosis link closely.
  • The Delivery Plan will need to consider equity of dementia services, especially geographically.
  • Although the overall priorities will not change, in each of the Priority Areas small changes will be made to ensure the wording is clearer or the objective is strengthened by adding in further information or clarification.
  • Greater reference to support for carers will be made across the strategy.
  • A statement about funding for the strategy and clarification about the organisation(s) that funds particular services will be included.
  • Clarify that, for several objectives, work is already underway and needs to be built upon.

The next steps will include:

  • Developing the strategy as described above.
  • Taking the revised strategy to several meetings and Boards to seek final approval to publish the strategy.
  • Taking the revised strategy to several key meetings and Boards (these will include a range of organisations such as NHS, local authorities, District and Borough Councils and voluntary sector) to ensure their support for the strategy.
  • Publish a draft Delivery Plan along with the final version of the Strategy

The aim is to publish the strategy in late Spring 2022.

Updates about the Strategy will be provided on Warwickshire's Living Well with Dementia website:  www.warwickshire.gov.uk/dementia
