    2. Nine localities Herefordshire Public Services - HPS (Council and PCT) and its public sector partners have been developing a common approach to localities Nine localities have been identified to help us structure service delivery closer to our communities and address local needs This approach was endorsed by the Herefordshire Partnership and Herefordshire Council Cabinet

    3. Locality areas It was decided that the nine localities should be built up from Civil Parish Boundaries as they have the most clear linkage to local communities and: Are consistent through time Can be matched to a high degree to Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs) Can be used for analysis purposes Are already used by other partners

    5. Different tiers The nine localities have a different asset base and a different service delivery role: Tier one Rural areas (Weobley, Golden Valley and Mortimer), serving the needs of their immediate customers (residents, businesses) Tier two Market towns; serving the needs of their customers, as well as those of the rural areas surrounding them Tier three Hereford City; providing a broad range of facilities and serving both the needs of its customers as well as those of the county and beyond

    6. Service delivery implications In terms of service delivery, all parts of HPS are required to demonstrate how their staff structures relate to the nine areas Those services with linkages between them will have clear interfaces in their local delivery arrangements Services within localities will work closer together to deliver more efficient services Service delivery implications In terms of service delivery, all parts of HPS are required to demonstrate how their staff structures relate to the nine areas Those services with linkages between them will have clear interfaces in their local delivery arrangements Services within localities will work closer together to deliver more efficient services

    7. Locality Strategy The Locality Strategy sets out our vision and objectives for locality working within the county Strengthened community leadership Services meeting the needs of communities Joined up local services Working in partnership with empowered communities Feedback from ward members, parish councils and other partners was clear: Concerns about new tier of bureaucracy and the role of elected politicians In addition to HPS, there has been representation on the group from Police, Fire, Voluntary Sector and JobCentre Plus we have also worked with the HMRC and the Ambulance Trust In addition to HPS, there has been representation on the group from Police, Fire, Voluntary Sector and JobCentre Plus we have also worked with the HMRC and the Ambulance Trust

    8. Roll out of locality working Profiles have been produced for each of the areas to inform the implementation of the Strategy The original proposals for the development of Locality Based Partnerships have been refined to take into account the feedback received The approach proposed acknowledges the role of ward members as community leaders and is flexible, recognising that one size does not fit all

    9. Locality working This new way of working will be supported through existing staff/resources and each of the localities will be supported by Senior Managers who will have a key role in: Organising local members briefings (based on the localities) Locality lead officers will have the role of managing relationships with other organisations Local members will have a key role in managing the interface with Parish Councils

    10. Locality lead officers

    11. Locality working Current tasks for locality lead officers are to: Meet with local ward members Develop an understanding of the locality Begin to map key issues Identify key partners (community, service professionals) Local members will be asked to engage with Parish Councils over preferred arrangements in their areas
