Halton Council has managed to make savings in the library service without having to close any of its four static libraries.A consultation into the reduction of opening hours of libraries in Runcorn and Widnes took place as part of an in-depth review of the library service to find cost-savings.

More than 1,000 people responded to a questionnaire, with 83% supporting the Council’s preferred option of maintaining 85% of current opening hours, bringing a saving of £400,000.

Hundreds of comments and suggestions were made and these are all being looked at over the coming months, so respondents can be assured their views are being considered. Subjects included the use of the café in Widnes Library, charges and fines, and events. In the new year, the Council will be exploring how todevelop an e-Book service as part of the ongoing modernisation of library services, and how to improve the homedelivery service to people who are housebound or in sheltered housing or care homes. Improvements to outreach services include new desktop computers at Upton Community Centre, Widnes.

Infant pupils in Halton have been enjoying free schoolmeals since the start of the autumn term. All state-funded schools in England now have to offer a free meal to all children in Reception to Year Two under the Universal Infant Free School Meals policy.

Local authorities received Government funding to upgrade school kitchens andequipment and recruit staff to ensure schools were ready to provide the meals. Halton Council started planning over a year ago, carrying out an audit of all schoolkitchens. The authority received around £420,000 for the work required and, whereverpossible, used this to lever in additional funds from schools who wanted to use thisopportunity to upgrade their individual kitchens/dining rooms. Around 80 new dinner staff were also appointed, and schools introduced variousmeasures including longer or staggered lunch breaks.Cllr Phil Harris, the Council’s Executive Board member for school meals, said the Councilwas well-prepared for the new initiative: "Despite the big increase in numbers, theschool meals were delivered from the first day back at school without any difficulty andthat is a credit to the workforce who provide the service. Halton has one of the bestschool meals service in the country and this is another example of how well it performs."

The annual flu campaign is beingdriven by NHS Halton ClinicalCommissioning Group (CCG) (thelocal NHS organisationresponsible for commissioninghospital and community services)and Halton Borough Council’sPublic Health team in a bid toreduce hospital admissionsattributed to flu.

Flu is a highly infectious disease withsymptoms that come on verysuddenly. Healthy individuals usuallyrecover in two to seven days but forsome, the disease can lead tohospitalisation, permanent disabilityor even death.Those considered most at risk and inneed of the vaccine include pregnantwomen who can suffer from seriouscomplications such as pneumonia,miscarriage or having a baby toosoon as a result of flu. People whohave a long-term health condition,even one that is well managed arealso at increased risk ofcomplications as a result of flu.Dr Cliff Richards, local GP and Chair,NHS Halton CCG said: “Although themajority of people will recover fromflu in a few days with bed-rest anddrinking fluids, if you have a long-term health condition, even one thatis well managed, or you arepregnant, you are at greater risk ofsevere complications if you catch flu.“We don’t want anyone to becomeneedlessly ill this winter from flu. Ifyou are eligible for a flu jab, pleasemake an appointment with your GP -it’s simple, free and gives you peace

of mind that you’re protected for thewinter months.” Cllr Marie Wright, Halton BoroughCouncil’s Executive Board memberfor Health and Wellbeing, says: “Theflu jab is free and available to anyonein the high risk category. Flu can beextremely dangerous, especially ifyou are one of those people in thathigh risk category, so please take theopportunity to protect yourself."Dr Ifeoma Onyia, Consultant in PublicHealth (Halton Borough Council)added: “The flu vaccine changesevery year to fight the latest strainsof flu, so it’s critical for eligiblepeople to be vaccinated every singleyear. “If you are in an at risk group you are11 times more likely to die from fluthan someone who is not in an atrisk group. Don’t put off getting theflu vaccination; if you’re eligible get itnow. It’s free because you need it.”

www.haltonccg.nhs.ukFor more information

Don’t delay gettingthe flu jab

Patients who are eligible for the flu jab are being encouragednot to delay making an appointment with their GP.

difficulties, including bronchitis or emphysema

- Kidney disease- Lowered immunity due to disease

or treatment (such as steroid medication or cancer treatment)

- Liver disease- Had a stroke or a transient

Police improve public response service

Cheshire Constabulary has reviewed the way it responds tocalls from the public to deliver the best possible service.When Assistant Chief Constable Mark Roberts was appointed in July, one of his first tasks was to look at the service the Constabulary provides to those contacting police for assistance in relation toemergency and non-emergency incidents.

ACC Roberts said: “We are making a strong commitment to respond to all emergencies within 15 minutes and as a result we are getting to people faster when they really need us.“The improvements are about us working more effectively from the moment a member of the publiccalls, until the officer arrives. It is about intelligently understanding our demand and organisingourselves to meet it in the most efficient way possible. By continuing to do this we will continue toimprove.”It was found that by changing the way the Constabulary interacts with the public, it could find a solutionboth timely and convenient. Now, the Constabulary offers appointments for non-emergency call-outs,such as victim care, witness interviews and raising general concerns.ACC Roberts continued: “The introduction of appointments into the response service has allowed us tofurther improve our service to the public. They have told us that they want to see us at a time that isconvenient for them, and we need to meet their expectations. If they want to see an officer, then underour ‘we’ll come to you’ commitment, we will visit them.”The appointments system works by having set ‘blocks’ of available time allocated in advance. When amember of the public requests an appointment they are logged on to a calendar for frontline officers tomanage.ACC Roberts added: “The system for appointments is working well across the Force and has beenreceived with praise by members of the public.”If you wish to speak to an officer, please contact the non-emergency 101 number.

Our role as your local councillorLocal councils are run by elected councillors who arevoted for by local people. Councillors (often called members) are responsible for makingdecisions on behalf of the community about local services, like rubbishcollection and leisure facilities, and agreeing budgets and Council Taxcharges.

Representing you and your communityCouncillors are elected by the local community and are there to represent your views. Each councillor represents an area, called a ward. InHalton we have 56 elected members, covering 21 wards. Each councillorrepresents around 5500 voters, he or she will know their area well and inmany cases will actually live within the ward.

The work of a councillor includes holding surgeries to help local people, supporting local organisations, campaigning on local issues, anddeveloping links with all parts of the community.

Councillors are not paid a salary or wages, but they are entitled to allowances and expenses to cover some of the costs of carrying out theirpublic duties. They are not council employees. The elected councillors(members) provide the policies, and then paid employees (council officers)put them into practice.
