LGA Public Health Annual Report and
Cost of Living Case Studies Published
The LGA’s eleventh annual public health report 2023: ‘Supporting communities in difficult times’ was published in March and focuses on how councils have responded to the rising cost of living.
The report also includes eight interview-style case studies that demonstrate the strong role that public health has in responding to the cost of living challenges facing communities.
Takeaways from the report are mixed, but the report's authors have high praise for the VCSE sector. Among the report's key messages:
"The voluntary, community and faith sector and their volunteers sprang into action again to help with the rising cost of living. Organisations providing venues are also struggling with higher costs and many councils are providing grants to support their work. The sector is increasingly recognised as a foundational partner in delivery and strategic planning. Strengthening arrangements with the sector was a priority for all areas."

‘Thriving Children’ Grant Funding Awarded to Town and Parish Councils Working with Community Partners
Wem Town Council, Cleobury Mortimer Town Council and Bishop’s Castle Town Council have recently been awarded grant funding from Shropshire Council to support activity for children and families, and applications have just re-opened for further bids.
The remaining pot of ‘thriving children’ grant funding is £110,000, and town councils and parish councils can work with local activity providers to bid for up to £25,000 for additional activity in their communities, to support the health and wellbeing of the children, young people and families.
The project is the result of a collaboration between Shropshire Council and the NHS, with financial input from the Integrated Care Board personalised care funding and public health. In the wake of the pandemic, this funding has been secured with the understanding that Covid-19, and our national response, has left its mark on young people and their communities.
Shropshire Council first opened applications earlier this year, calling on town and parish councils to apply for support with projects that enrich the opportunities for young people in their community and they received a diverse range of applications.
Bishop’s Castle Town Council’s successful bid will support workshops in music and cooking for children between the ages of 8 and 11 years, as well as a youth café for 11 to 16 year olds in partnership with a popular open mic music session that is already held in the town, South Shropshire Youth Forum and Hereford Diocese. A youth forum allowing young people in Bishop’s Castle to voice their experiences directly to the Town Council is also planned.
Cleobury Mortimer Town Council are partnering with South Shropshire Youth Forum and will also offer an active education programme with St Mary’s Youth Project, focusing on climbing for pupils in upper key stage two and their families. The projects aim to promote the importance of keeping healthy and leading active lifestyles.
Wem Town Council have planned a project to help young people to understand their own emotional health and wellbeing with access to a qualified youth worker, touching on subjects such as stress, sleep issues and bullying.
Town councils and parish councils have until Tuesday 2 May 2023 to submit their bids for the remaining money in the ‘thriving children’ grant fund.

Healthwatch Shropshire: Healthwatch Shropshire wants to know about people’s experience of making complaints about their NHS or social care services, not only if people achieved the outcome they sought through the complaint but also their experience of making the complaint, did they feel supported, did they have the information they needed, how they were treated and if they felt listened to. Closing date TBD
Shropshire Council Customer Services Consultation: Shropshire Council is consulting on proposed changes to its Customer Service Centre (CSC) opening times. The Customer Service Centre handles some complex issues for Shropshire’s residents in relation to Adult Social Care, concerns for children, risk of homelessness or financial crisis affecting families. These types of contact from people will always need a skilled adviser and will not be affected by the proposed changes. However many other calls are for the more “generalist” side of Shropshire Council’s CSC and are for relatively simple requests that can be made another way, particularly using online requests. It is the opening hours for these services that form the proposal for change. Closing 23rd April
Please help encourage clients and service users to participate. Here are ways to give feedback:
- Online survey
- If you can’t go online, copies of the consultation are available at the following Shropshire Council libraries; Bayston Hill, Bridgnorth, Church Stretton, Gobowen, Library at the Lantern, Ludlow, Market Drayton, Much Wenlock, Oswestry, Pontesbury, Shrewsbury, Wem and Whitchurch
- At Shropshire Council’s Shropshire Local sites in Ludlow and Shrewsbury
- If you would like the survey in an alternative format, please email TellUs@shropshire.gov.uk to request a copy or call 0345 678 9077 and explain any support you need to allow you to respond.
Please also help spread the word about this consultation! Here are some social media assets for you to use:
Veterans' Health Priority Setting Partnership Survey: Veterans, their friends and family and the healthcare professionals who work with them are sought to answer a short survey. This is being done as part of a Priority Setting Partnership led by veterans, family members, charities and healthcare professionals and supported by the Office for Veterans’ Affairs. The partnership want to hear about areas of veterans’ physical and mental health and wellbeing that need further investigation. This survey will be a crucial influence in deciding what research should be funded in the future to shape healthcare. Closing 30th April
Children in the Early Years (aged 0-4) Stakeholder Survey: Shropshire Council invites you to participate in the first stakeholder engagement survey for Shropshire’s Children, Young People and Families Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) which will focus on Children in the Early Years (aged 0-4). Please share widely across all service areas supporting children and families in Shropshire. Closing 1st May
Housing Floating Support (Sustain) Proposed Changes: Shropshire Council currently contract with a number of support providers to deliver housing-related floating support across the county. These support providers are known collectively as the Sustain Consortium, or ‘Sustain’. The council are reviewing these contracts and will be putting new contracts in place from October 2023. The council propose to change the way that potential service users are referred to floating support and how floating support is allocated. It's important to the council that they hear from service users and stakeholders to help set out requirements for floating support from October. Closing 1st May
Prepayment Meter Experiences Survey: Ofgem and Citizens Advice are launching a national evidence-call to ask energy customers to share their experiences of moving to a prepayment meter (PPM). The eight-week partnership is a key part of Ofgem’s comprehensive market review of prepayment meters and remote switching, to ensure suppliers are meeting their legal obligations in protecting customers. It is calling for the experiences of customers who either have had PPMs installed to recover unpaid bills or those actively choose to use pay-as-you-go to manage their budgets. Closing 4th May
Shrewsbury Public Spaces Protection Order: In accordance with the provisions of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 Shropshire Council is seeking your views and comments on an extension and possible amendment to the ‘Shrewsbury Town Centre Public Spaces Protection Order (No. 1) 2017’ (‘the Shrewsbury PSPO’). The proposal is to enable the Order to continue for a further three years. The current Order will expire on the 31st July unless extended by Shropshire Council. Prohibitions covered by the current order include: (a) urinating/defecating; (b) leaving personal belongings; (c) a wider enabling provision to require a person to stop drinking alcohol and/or hand over alcohol if causing anti-social behaviour; and (d) a wider enabling provision to require a person to leave an area and not to return for 48 hours if causing anti-social behaviour.
Proposed amendments are designed to extend the persons able to enforce the PSPO and a wider range of prohibitions to cover other forms of anti-social behaviour. Please find below a link to the details and attached document which also includes details of the current Order and associated data.
Shropshire Council would welcome any comments you wish to make particularly in response to the questions posed within the consultation covering the proposed extension period, impact of the existing PSPO, and need for amendments. Closing 14th May
Please respond in writing, including the nature of your interest (i.e. VCS group/ organisation, resident etc.) via post or email.
