‘Local Public Service Agreements’ A Resource to Help you Achieve Your HECA Targets John Manton Environmental Management Officer North East Lincolnshire Council
What is a Local Public Service Agreement? • LPSA - licence to innovate, opportunity to secure additional resources in return for agreed increase in activity • A 3 year agreement between the Local Authority and ODPM • LA receives ODPM funding in return for increased performance • Failure to achieve targets may result in LA having to pay pump-prime funding back • Achievement of targets will result in financial reward to the Local Authority
LPSA on Home Energy - NELC • 12 LPSA’s negotiated in North East Lincolnshire including one on Home Energy • Funding • 2 staff for just over 2 years + promotional budget • Targets based on Warm Front & SHEEP activity in NEL • Includes Warm Front referrals, boiler, cavity wall and loft insulation installed measures • Base-line year 2002/3 • Reward
Targets • 2002/3 base-line x 3 years + stretch • Actual NELC targets • Warm Front referrals (5574 - 4012) 10% • SHEEP + Warm Front measures (6407 - 3800) 30% • GJ’s of energy saved 30% • tonnes of CO2 saved 30%
LPSA - considerations • Profile • Council priority, LSP, Community Strategy • Timetable of Events • Thematic or Geographic • Focus on outcomes not inputs • Climate change, decent homes, fuel poverty, SAPs, CO2 • Demonstrate value for money • Base-line data • How achievable are your targets? • Reward money
Presenting Your Case Marc Freedman
Summary • Are human and financial resources the main barriers to you carrying out the volume of activity that would lead to you achieving your HECA targets? • LPSA is one method of securing additional resources to increase the amount of HECA activity undertaken in your area. • Consider: • Profile • ‘Thematic’ or ‘Geographic’ Target • Consider outcomes rather than inputs • Robust Base-line data • Level of previous performance - Are targets achievable? • Consider ‘Turn the Curve’ Model to put forward your arguments • Can reward money be secured to sustain the service established through LPSA’s
