been a significant shift to home adaptations and supported moves to smaller manageable properties enabling independence from residential 
care options over the last 6 months. 
2. Development of Bungalows at Lowfield Green is continuing with these 
being in the first phase of the development to be completed. These homes are now being advertised for sale with bids only being accepted from those with an age or mobility related reason for requiring a bungalow in the first month. To ensure that older and disabled residents are able to take the time and have the opportunity to view and purchase without extensive competition initially.

timetable, subject to any further COVID delays the contractor is reporting that the building will be complete and ready for occupation in early September.

tenants who will be returning to Lincoln Court.

## Project Title York Central

Reporting period August 2020 
Description York Central is a key strategic development site for economic growth and housing delivery for the city.  The majority of the land is in the ownership of Network Rail and Homes England.  CYC have a role to play in de-risking the site and accelerating delivery with public sector partners.  In recent months, the site and the opportunity it presents have been positioned at all levels of Government as a priority site for support to enable delivery of locally-led regeneration and development schemes.  The capacity for the site to contribute to the achievement of the local plan housing targets is also a key consideration. Overall status this period (Aug)

## Project Title Castle Gateway Reporting Period August 2020 Description

City of York Council (CYC) are one of the principal land owners in the area around Piccadilly, the Eye of York, St George's Field and the Foss Basin. This area is being referred to as the "Castle Gateway" and many parts of the area are underused, semi derelict or of poor quality. Many of the properties are for sale or owned by investors and there is a risk that the area will continue to be blighted or that important sites will be developed in a piecemeal manner. The area is urgently in need of a fresh vision to improve the locality and create a socially and economically sustainable future. As the principal landowner, CYC will be instrumental in delivering a joined-up regeneration of the area which will maximise social and economic benefits for the City.

COVID_19 - The impact of COVID_19 continues to be seen in a number of the Castle Gateway work streams, with many of the Major Projects and Regeneration Team supporting the economic recovery of the city. 

Delivery Strategy - The procurement of construction partners for the delivery of phase one, St George's Field and Castle Mills, is still on hold as the pause at a corporate level of all non essential procurement continues, the impact of the review of the project delivery strategy and decision as to how to proceed is being considered. A report is to be brought back to Executive in the summer of 2020, setting out the proposed delivery model for 17-21 Piccadilly, and the business case and funding strategy for phase two of the masterplan - the new public realm to replace Castle Car Park. This remains on track, however when it will be considered by Executive will depend on the ongoing impact of COVID_19. 

Castle Mills and St George's Field - In response to a number of statutory consultees, updated planning documents and drawings are being prepared. These respond to the comments made by statutory consultees including the Environment Agency, Yorkshire Water and City of York Council technical officers. Officers will continue to respond to any further comments relating to the planning applications and will work with planning officers to resolve any issues to ensure the successful achievement of planning permission. 

17-21 Piccadilly - The feasibility design work for 17-21 Piccadilly is being costed to inform a decision as to whether the council should proceed with development or dispose to the market to deliver. This work is led by the project team consultants including the architect and cost consultant. 

West Yorkshire Transport Fund - Work continues to progress on the funding bid to outline and full business case stages, led by the council's consultants WSP. 

Tower Gardens - A Draft Open Brief for Tower Gardens to be used for consultation has been written pulling together information gathered from the previous three years of work on the My Castle Gateway engagement. The draft open brief will be published for consultation in August, the timescales of this is driven in part by the availability of a small pot of section 106 money from nearby development in the city which must be spent by October 2020. The feedback from the consultation will inform an overarching design for the scheme, identifying elements that can be delivered by the Section 106 funding. 

Castle Gateway events - Due to Covid 19, the Cbeebies roadshow event is no longer taking place on Castle Car Park in September 2020, and will likely be delayed until early 2021. 

Delivery Strategy - A report reviewing the delivery strategy for phase 1, will be prepared for consideration by the Executive in the coming months, this will take in to account the impact of COVID_19 and include the decision as to how to proceed with the procurement of contractors. 

Castle Mills and St George's Field - Officers will continue to respond to any further comments relating to the planning applications and will work with planning officers to resolve any issues to ensure the successful achievement of planning permission. All updated planning documents to be submitted to planning for consideration. 

17-21 Piccadilly - The costed feasibility design for 17-21 Piccadilly will be considered in the delivery strategy. 

Tower Gardens - Tower Gardens Draft Open Brief will be launched for consultation. 

Reports to 
The Executive sponsor for the Castle Gateway is the Leader of the Council in his remit as Executive Member for Finance and Performance. The Executive have approved a whole series of recommendations over the 
last three years to advance the project, with delivery of these being the responsibility of the Castle Gateway 
Working Group. This working group was established in January 2017 and serves as the project board and meets on a monthly basis. It is chaired by the Director for Economy and Place, and the wider interests of the council are represented by the Assistant Directors for Regeneration and Asset Management; Planning and Sustainable Development; and Transport, Highways and the Environment. The group also has Heads of Service for legal, finance and property. The working group is the key interface point with wider stakeholders, with the project manager and Assistant Director for Regeneration and Asset Management chairing the Castle Gateway Advisory Group (which consists of key stakeholders and principal custodians of 

the city) and the My Castle Gateway public engagement partnership. The interests of the formal partnership with York Museums Trust will also be represented by the same individuals and outcomes and decisions fed back in to the working group. The Castle Gateway project manager has defined expenditure levels under the Council's Contract Procedure Rules. Any decisions that are outside the remit of previous recommendations from the Executive are taken to the appropriate decision making route as set out by the council's governance and decision making framework. Dependent on the nature and scope of the issue this may be an officer decision, Executive Member decision, or require a full Executive decision.

## Project Title Local Plan Reporting Period August 2020 Description

The 'Local Plan' is a citywide plan which sets the overall planning vision and the spatial land use strategy for the city. It provides a portfolio of both housing and employments sites for at least a 15 year period and will set the Green Belt boundaries for York. In addition it incorporates both policies and approaches to set the context for development management decisions. Effectively, it sets out the opportunities and policies on what will or will not be permitted and where, including new homes and businesses.  
The Local Plan must be accompanied by an infrastructure delivery plan setting out the Council's approach to strategic infrastructure and its funding. 

All housing and employments sites included must be viable and deliverable this is directly linked to future approaches to planning gain i.e. CiL and S106. In response to both the Council resolution in autumn 2014, and the changed national and local context, officers have initiated or a series of work streams to inform the next stages of plan production. This relates to housing need, economic growth and the related need for employment land, and detailed site assessments. The production of the plan has to be in accordance with statute and national guidance. This includes a legal requirement to work with neighbouring authorities. It also means that the plan must be subject to Sustainability and Environmental Assessments. It will also ultimately be subject to an independent examination by a government inspector.

Explanation 
Current status 

Appointed planning inspectors have completed phase 1 of the examination of York's Local Plan. The initial hearing sessions took place at York Racecourse from 10th to 18th December. 

More information about the hearings is available to view at: www.york.gov.uk/localplanexamination The Local Plan sets strategic priorities for the whole city and forms the basis for planning decisions; it must be reviewed at regular intervals to be kept up to date. The first phase hearing sessions covered the strategic principal matters identified by the inspectors including: 

 legal compliance  housing need and  the York Green Belt. 
The inspectors took into account the comments submitted to-date, as far as they related to soundness considerations such as whether the plan is justified, effective and consistent with national policy. 

 
The Forward Planning Team are currently completing a number of 
'Homework' items requested by the inspectors' for their consideration in conjunction with the Phase 1 hearing sessions. The majority of this is now submitted. Officers are prioritising the completion of outstanding work. The Inspectors wrote to CYC on 12 June 20 outlining their conclusions in relation to the first phase examination hearing sessions. Focus of the letter was on the Green Belt approach, which was in general conformity with the saved RSS policies. However concerns were raised regarding the GB methodology used to assess the inner boundaries. Three options of how to proceed were presented by the inspectors. Officers sent an initial letter on 22 June 20 welcoming the conclusions thus far and setting out their intention to seeks to justify the boundaries through clarification of the evidence base. 

Following the release of the 2018 based sub-national Household Projections, the Inspectors wrote to the council on 9 July 2020 asking whether this would lead to a material change in York's proposed housing requirement. The Council have commissioned technical advice from consultants and will respond in due course. 

Future outlook Following the receipt of technical evidence from consultants regarding the 2018 sub-national Household Projections, the Council will consider its position in relation to the Inspectors question of whether there is a meaningful change in York's housing requirement, as previously discussed at Phase 1 hearings. Further responses to the Inspectors will relate to other outstanding matters. Phase 2 hearing sessions on the remainder of the Plan will be requested by the Inspector who set the timetable for future sessions to discuss their outstanding matters, issues and questions. The timing is dependent on their consideration of further work to be submitted by the Council.

## All Of The Above Is Delayed Due To Covid Restrictions On Gatherings, Sports Events, Workforce And Materials Supply. Site Is Working On A Vastly Reduced Workforce Due To Most Major Companies Withdrawing Their Employees To Home Working. Materials Supply Is Also Vastly Restricted Due To Suppliers Not Having Stocks, Reduction In Workforce, Unable To Source Certain Specific Supplies. Factory And Production Centres Being Closed Or Working On Greatly Reduced Staff Numbers And Therefore Greatly Reduced Output. Site Continues With Snagging, Small Items That Can Be Done And M&E Testing And Commissioning Are Almost Complete. All Sports Testing And Licensing Activities Have Stopped Due To Covid Restrictions On Gatherings And Events. Awaiting Government Confirmation Of Lifting Restrictions On Events And Also An Improvement In The Supply Chain. Buildings Should Be Complete And Commissioned End Of August 2020. Sporting Restrictions And Public Gatherings Will Need To Be Lifted For Test Events. At Present This Appears It May Be Possible From October 2020 Onwards, However, Is Still To Be Clarified By The Government And The National Sports Safety Authorities.

## Project Title The Guildhall Reporting Period August 2020

Description City of York Council vacated the Guildhall in April 2013, moving to West Offices as part of the Admin Accommodation programme, in order to make approx. £1m pa savings. An evaluation of potential future uses had already been undertaken, and following further feasibility work and review a decision on the Future of the complex was taken by Executive in October 2015.  Approval was granted for detailed project development work to secure the future of the Guildhall as a serviced office venue; with virtual office and business club facilities, maximising the benefits of the different spaces within the complex, its heritage appeal, and also ensuring ongoing council use and public access in a mixed use development.

## Project Title Outer Ring Road (A1237) Reporting Period August 2020 Description

This project combines the previously separate schemes - YORR roundabout upgrades & YORR dualling (phase 1).  This project has already delivered an upgrade of the Wetherby Road roundabout in 2018/19 to the new standard 3 lane approaches and 2 lane exits on the A1237.  This project will continue by upgrading the stretch of the A1237 to dual carriageway standard between the A19 junction and Little Hopgrove junction, including the upgrade of the 5 roundabouts on this stretch to the standard already set by the Wetherby Road upgrade.  This project will increase the capacity of the ring road, particularly of the roundabouts being upgraded, to reduce orbital and radial journey times.  The A1237 roundabout at Great North Way will also be improved as part of this project (although this lies outside the stretch which is to be dualled).

## Project Title Centre Of Excellence (The Beehive) Reporting Period August 2020 Description

City of York Council with its partners are planning to:  

a. Deliver a feasibility study to explore the opportunities and benefits of 
building a Specialist Disabled Children Short Break Facility in York.  
b. To expand the Family Intensive Rapid Support Team (FIRST) to 
incorporate a therapeutic short break residential element and to explore the opportunities and benefits of increasing the service offer to neighbouring Local Authorities across the region. 
The project is part of the wider development of services for disabled children and young people across the city and provides the council with an opportunity to:  

 Invest capital in developing a 'Disability Centre of Excellence' which has 
the potential to be a leader in innovative practice both regionally and nationally. 
 Make York Home for more disabled children and young people by 
reducing out of Area placements. 
 Develop and invest in service provision in order to generate future savings 
and income generating potential.  
 Deliver better outcomes for disabled children and young people including 
those with the most complex needs.  
FIRST is a specialist Clinical Psychology led service that supports families with children/ young people who have a learning disability, autism and the most complex behavioural needs. FIRST provides intensive assessment and intervention for children and their family at the point of potential placement breakdown. The proposed Specialist Disabled Children Short Break Facility would potentially incorporate and replace the short break residential provision currently provided at The Glen and Glen House.

The need to provide sufficient school places for current and future residents is a key statutory duty of CYC and will build an educational infrastructure for the city by forecasting likely demand and supply of school places over the medium term (until 2022/23). The aims of this project are to identify where and when additional school places will be required, and work with central government and the school community to provide places in good or outstanding schools. 

CYC is provided with some 'Basic Need' funding from central government for this purpose and will need to ensure that this and other sources of funding are used to best effect in those areas of greatest need, and to ensure that all educational provision is sustainable in the longer term, working with the school community. The project represents a significant priority for City of York council in delivering educational opportunities for residents.

Status 
Explanation 
Future Basic Need funding is likely to be very limited and housing 
developer contributions may not meet the expected requirements for 
educational infrastructure across all sites.  This is being addressed 
through the Local Plan required infrastructure process, but these 
requirements exceed any current capital for the costs. 

## Current Status **Capacity**

 Work has taken place this period to analyse areas in the city where there 
is surplus capacity and effective ways in which this can be addressed. 

## Communication

 There has been continued communication with developers of some 
proposed and forthcoming housing sites and with those officers overseeing the draft Local Plan and future infrastructure plan for the city, as well as with the impacted MATs. 
 Communication is also ongoing to discuss solutions to address the 
pressures around secondary school place requirements in the south east of the city, with work progressing. 
 Although outside the scope of this project, construction work continues in 
the east of the city to increase the number of secondary school places available. 

## **Data Modelling**

 Reporting of feedback from SCAP 2019 will now be presented to the 
YSAB School Organisation sub-group. It has been necessary to postpone plans to hold the first meeting of this sub-group until the new school term. 

## Forecasting

 The forecasting process has continued to be updated this period in 
preparation for the production of new forecasts, with the latest housing data having now been received from colleagues overseeing the draft Local Plan and future infrastructure plan. 

## Policy

 Information pertaining to the proposed update to primary and secondary 
pupil yields, the introduction of a specialist educational needs pupil yield and the formal approval of an operational capacity and minimum clawback period has been presented to DMT. This will be reassessed in the near future and work has continued this period to prepare for this. 
 A school services Covid 19 risk register is being monitored to stay aware 
of potential risks that might affect school places as a result of the global pandemic and the necessary work continues to be undertaken. 
The main focus of this period: 

## **Capacity**

 Feedback net capacity assessments for the final identified school - once 
a visit to site is allowed. 

## Communication

 Continued engagement with local schools and academy trusts to gather 
their views and identify any potential plans about how they could assist in providing for future need; this will now take place in part through the formation of a YSAB School Organisation sub-group. 
 Continue communication regarding the planning and construction work 
taking place to address secondary school place requirements in the Secondary Planning Area - East York. 
 Continue to liaise regarding the proposal to address secondary school 
place requirements in the Secondary Planning Area - South East York. 
 Continue to move forward proposals to address the secondary school 
place requirements in the Secondary Planning Area - West York. 

## Data Modelling

 Business Intelligence to complete an internal audit of the forecasting 
process. 

## Forecasting

 Develop the primary and secondary forecasting models.  Continue to monitor school in-year admission requests to explore any 
changes seen in net migration as a result of the global pandemic. 
 Update forecasts with revised information regarding housing trajectories 
and the subsequent expected pupil yields. 
 Map housing data to catchment areas for primary and secondary 
forecasts. 

## Policy

 Continue work to update the Viability Assessment to determine the 
impact of alternative pupil yields. 
 Complete work to determine an appropriate pupil yield for the 16 - 19 
age range. 
 Continue work to work to identify necessary changes to catchments in 
preparation for inclusion in the 2022/23 Admissions Consultation. 

## Project Plan

 Further develop, communicate and agree the project plan.

The programme continues in the first stage of implementation, in configuration. The go-live date still indicatively set for Monday 23rd November 2020 but the programme status moved to Red due to COVID affecting workshops, supplier, and configuration. Once a new programme manager is identified, they are to work with board stakeholders to identify activity that remains to be completed and construct a new timeline. Technical challenges have been identified around configuration of all modules, and integration with Total Mobile which are being worked through. 

## Overall Progress Since Last Board In June

The programme team continue to complete as much configuration activity as possible with our supplier using remote configuration sessions with consultants and subject matter experts. At the end of July 2020 approximately 70% of configuration activity was completed on the Supplier side of the project, but less than 50% on the CYC configuration side. 

## Programme Manager

An external recruitment will take place as soon as possible. 

 Continued detailed configuration planning and activity. 
 Testing and Training Strategy and Plan development and sign-off.  Starting to test completed modules in User Acceptance Testing.  Replacement of Housing ICT Programme Manager.  Development of Total Mobile process maps and user stories.  Development of core business processes to support testing plan.

## Project Title Parking Review Reporting Period August 2020 Description

This project is to research, procure and implement a new parking back office system to replace the current system that is now out of date.  In turn this new system will help to bring around a change in how parking is managed and how our customers interact with us by taking forward a customer self service system, such as the purchasing of parking permits and dealing with PCNs (Penalty Charge Notices). 

Historically there have been a number of issues relating to the delivery of the Parking Services back office system due to issues with the supplier. Motivation for this approach is also brought about by the fact that more than 25% of footfall in the customer centre is for parking related matters. This has been attributed to complex policy, under performing IT systems and associated processes and lack of available on-line services for customers. There is an opportunity to resolve a number of issues with this change project with the delivery of an ICT back office system to deliver this change and as the catalyst to support the development of a new parking strategy and technological roadmap for the next 10+ years in line with the Local Plan and Local Transport Plan 4. As part of this project the Council ICT team are looking into how this system could interface with existing CYC systems, such as FMS and CRM but looking forward, how these systems can interface with other systems such as parking machines and the wider Smart City work the Council is taking forward (STEP).

While the above statement is still valid WSP seem confident we may be able to stick to the schedule for the UAT stage and an autumn implementation but this remains to be seen.   

- 
The Exec Member Decision session has been moved and condensed into one session on 10th August, this means the outstanding Exec Member report is still be be decided upon that in turn creates some impacts on the project and various changes to policy. 
- 
The delay in signing the contract and DSA has caused up to 5 weeks 
delay for the WSP team. 
 Resolved the sticking points with the Data Sharing Agreement through 
discussions with CYC and WSP Legal contacts.  
 Resolved issues that were linked to Android automatic updates and 
WSP's Mobi Control upgrade. 
 Pay Point Quote was signed off and meetings have been put in place 
across early August to discuss hooking this up to Taranto. 
 UAT Training took place W/C 6th July to prepare staff for UAT testing.  Kick started conversations with WSP on how Civica will hook up to 
Taranto to allow payments for PCN's and Permits through the portal and back office. 
 Explored cost and received a quote from WSP for new CEO printers and 
support. 
 Managed to cancel 2 of the original change requests based on seeing 
the system in action and finding a process that would work. 
 Now the DSA has been amended and signed work can begin on data 
migration for the first two weeks of August and then configuration can begin the 2nd half of August. 
 Continue to work through the handheld testing with Kiosk mode and then 
purchase the 25 devices. 
 Transport decision session on 11th August.  Discuss the scope for phase two of the project with internal team and 
then WSP. 
 Receive quote from WSP to alter the configuration of the resident's 
vehicle checker web application to allow workflow items to be sent via email for out of hours reports. 
 Working through training logistics with Customer Services to roll out the 
training across 21 CSR's. 
 The only risk since the last Verto report would be the following however, 
this has been resolved in the last week. Follow up conversations are now in progress to discuss what caused this 5 week delay and how we can 
avoid it happening again but also how WSP can provide extra support to make up for lost time: -    There was a risk that if CYC and WSP cannot come to an agreement on the signing of the Data Sharing Agreement before the end of July we would lose our resource not only on data migration but also configuration. The person carrying out data migration has been re booked in for the first two weeks of August and then the config is booked in from the 20th August. This means we won't get a fully configured system until end of August/early September making the December go live date very tight.

## Project Title Inclusion Review Reporting Period August 2020 Description

The purpose of the inclusion review will be to ensure that The Local Authority and School Community work together to maximise the opportunity for early intervention and prevention and to improve the outcomes of children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The review will examine the current configuration of services and the use of funding to support SEND to ensure that there is greater clarity and accountability around the use and impact of resources. The pressures on the High Needs funding block within the designated schools grant (DSG) means that there are accelerating financial pressures in meeting the needs of children and young people with SEND. A key purpose of the Inclusion Review is ensuring that the pressures on High Needs funding are being managed effectively whilst ensuring that the local authority is able to deliver its statutory duties articulated in the Children and Families Act, 2014 and the SEND code of practice.

## Project Title Be Independent Reporting Period August 2020 Description

Be Independent (BI) is the provider of the Council's community alarm and equipment service.  This includes a 24 hour response service, assessment and installation of equipment, telecare and assistive technology services. These services play a key role in supporting better outcomes for individuals either in their own homes, supported living or in residential and nursing homes across the City. The aim is to prevent, reduce or delay the need for care, enabling people to be as independent as possible.  Previously provided in-house, the service was externalised in 
2014 and the Council supported the establishment of a social enterprise in the form of a Community Interest Company (CIC) to deliver the service. In June 2018 the Executive agreed to the transfer of Be Independent service back to the Council and the direct management of Health, Housing & Adult Social Care. All assets and liabilities will be transferred from Be Independent to the City of York Council and staff transfers will be agreed under TUPE. Following the transfer which was completed in August 2018, an operational review of the service has commenced to understand its core functions, purpose, strengths and areas for improvement to ensure that it is sustainable. Whilst the overarching vision for the service will be coproduced in line with the Council's vision, a 3 month IT scoping project has been commissioned to review the systems/processes currently in use as this is a key priority to move the service forward. Be Independent needs to have a robust IT infrastructure in line with CYC protocols to enhance and grow the business, and improve the customer experience of this Community Equipment & Response Service. By utilising the latest technology (GDPR compliant), workers will become agile and customers will have a seamless service from all teams including Business Support, Response, Assessment and Control Teams, where an overburden on paperwork is phased out. IT aims to integrate different software systems used for call handling, stock management and financing linked to a service manager with comprehensive performance reporting tools. Streamlining software systems and providing teams with the appropriate hardware (with internet connection) is a primary focus in order for the teams to perform efficiently and effectively.  This will improve the use of resources, develop capacity and ensure a strength based approach can be implemented in the future.

Scope 
Status 
Explanation 
Due to the current COVID19 situation, staff have been mobilised with laptops to continue to work from home where possible. New business processes have been put in place to avoid social contact where possible, as well as adaptations to taking payments. A new call handling software 
solution will be the focus of the project moving forward to enable a fully mobile workforce. 
Cost Status 
Explanation 
50% of the initial set up fee has been paid as a deposit for the new call handling platform provider in order to commit resources from their team to this project. The balance will be paid upon project completion, and the monthly cost will be invoiced once the system is fully live. The cost of SIP trunk rental set up has also been paid, and from the 13th of July will be charged for the line rentals of the lines / channels. Once the information on repurposing existing kit is confirmed, the costs of kit for the control room operators will be confirmed. Thin clients will be provided as a FOC interim solution for control room operators working from home to reduce cost.  
 
Tasks & 
Milestones 
- 
The main focus of the project is to replace the call handling system to enable a mobile workforce in line with the vision and direction of the service area, to ensure it is future proof and fit for purpose.

## Project Title Procurement Of Msa And Strategic Engagement Technology Partner Reporting Period August 2020 Description

To develop a specification, procure and appoint a technology provider to deliver the City of York Council's (CYC) essential managed network services arrangements (MSA) this includes connectivity, voice and data services. CYC's current MSA contract expires following an extension period, on 31 August 2020.  The contract is currently worth £2million per year and the new contract is likely to run for at least a minimum of 10 years. 

The procurement process was approved by Executive in November 2017, and progressed proper in April 2019 after the appointment of commercial procurement partners to support internal capacity, with the view to develop an Invitation to Tender for both CYC and Harrogate Borough Council.  The scope of the review then changed in July 2019 to proceed to meet CYC requirements only, due to a change in Harrogate's local circumstances. There is continuing good relationships between the two councils and a shared management team. The new provider will be a strategic technical delivery partner enabling CYC to achieve its strategy for the delivery of digital services to its residents, businesses and partners. Progress of the original project to date includes documenting the requirements of both councils and production of a draft ITT.  The changing scope of the procurement has allowed a pause in proceedings to allow for the following: 

 A review of work done to date and a revision of the scope of the project.  Bringing the project in line with Council's All About Projects approach  Addressing of known risk as per independent legal and technical advice 
commissioned given the time taken to date and learning from recent procurement practice elsewhere. 
The aim of this revised project is to recommence the procurement with a robust approach and assurance that the Council can secure the best MSA going forward given changed scope and lessons learned.

## Project Title Hyperhubs Reporting Period August 2020 Description

Hyper Hubs are an innovative combination of solar energy harvesting and storage with electric vehicle charging points, reducing the reliance of electric vehicles on the UK electricity grid and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.  By providing Hyper Hubs at Poppleton and Monks Cross Park and Ride sites, we aim to increase the use of electric vehicles for journeys in and to York, providing eight private vehicle charging points at each site.  
By providing Hyper Hubs at Poppleton and Monks Cross Park and Ride sites, a solar canopy would be erected over approximately 100 parking spaces, providing space for 1,400 m2 of solar panels.  This canopy is an elevated structure - essentially a roof below which cars can still park - with solar panels on the top.  Adjacent to the canopy, but not on land currently used for parking, there would be an energy storage facility - a battery. At each site there would also be eight charging points for electric vehicles. Electricity generated by the solar panels would be used to hyper charge vehicles plugged in to the charging points.  Electricity not used immediately would be stored in the battery.  When the battery is full, this electricity could be fed into the national grid. The solar canopies would use the free space immediately above the vehicles to harvest solar energy to the site.  Batteries would then store the electricity, providing it either to hyper charge electric vehicles when plugged in, or feeding it into the UK electricity grid. 

The electric vehicle infrastructure element of the project is to purchase and install the DC 'hyper' charging points (faster than current 'rapid' charge speed points at 50kW) which will supply the energy to the vehicles. These will be installed in a Hub of eight car bays which can supply up to 150kW power output per car, with a typical charging session taking 10-20 minutes.  By way of comparison, a typical home charging point takes around eight hours to charge an electric vehicle.

Milestones 
Status 
Explanation 
 
Project Milestones are being assessed to account for delays caused by COVID-19 and the Poppleton bar test centre. Our approach is to 
continue with desktop based work which can be progressed during the current movement restrictions. We will develop a robust construction plan with a flexible start date which will begin once the covid-19 situation allows. We will phase the construction works, concentrating on delivering Monks Cross first. 
Risk Status 
Explanation 
Risks updated to reflect most significant current risks to the project. 
Issues 
Status 
Explanation 
Poppleton Bar Park & Ride will be used as a COVID-19 super testing 
centre for an estimated 6 months. We aim to gain limited site access to perform technical surveys which are essential to completing the detailed design work. 

Preparations to start work at Monks Cross are complete, pending acceptance of the lease amendments which are currently being reviewed. Electrical design at Poppleton Bar has been revised after it has emerged that the maximum grid connection we can obtain is lower than anticipated. The new design manages power for the whole site, including the bus charging facilities, terminal building and car park lighting. The Battery Energy Storage System will be used to manage peak loads which exceed the sites 398kW capacity. 

 Completion of lease amendments for both sites. 
 Technical surveys begin at Monks Cross.  Development of comms package and branding. 

Reports to 
The project will report to the Transport board. This is an internal board that is chaired by the Assistant Director for Transport, Highways and Environment. The members also include the Head of Transport, who acts as the City of York Council client for the project and the Head of Programmes, who is responsible for the delivery of projects within the Economy and Place Directorate. The Project Manager will report to the Sustainable Transport Manager (who reports to the Head of Transport) and will be held to account for delivery by the Head of Programmes, who will also 

provide Project assurance. Finance also are members of the board to provide any technical input.

Project has been reviewed, post COVID-19 with the working group meeting to review programme milestones for the next 18 months, recognising that constant 'monitor and adapt' approach will be needed as we recover from the epidemic. Acceptance that a risk workshop led by Veritua will be fundamental in analysing the impact of COVID-19 as this programme of work will have new risks and opportunities. The long list of site options for Clifton and Acomb library is well developed, but requires further work to complete the high level options appraisal, before selecting the best sites for initial feasibility studies. 

Work has also been done to understand the current site development opportunity at Acomb, as this was the very first 'Explore Centre' which represents the future library vision so any other site would be naturally compared against it.  The results of this work clearly demonstrate the range of possible expansion on the current site.  In terms of the existing Clifton library site, a work package has not been considered to look at its possible expansion as site expansion possibilities are very limited and the current building in not fit for purpose. 

 The next period will see the ongoing development of the site options 
appraisal and validation of the appraisal by the whole project team, prior to start focussing on which sites have potential to reach a short list for feasibility studies. 
 The risk workshop run by Veritua will be completed by the first week 
in September. 

Reports to 
A programme board made up from senior officers from both Explore and the Council will lead the Programme, reporting will follow the corporate project management approach.

## Project Title Pay On Exit Reporting Period August 2020

Working with YorkBID, this project will see the implementation of Pay on Exit technology at Piccadilly Car Park that will allow users to pay upon exiting the car park rather than the traditional pay and display method currently in use.  A Pay on Exit system is in place at Marygate, however it frequently suffers major faults; therefore the Pay on Exit systems at Marygate will be reviewed and, if required, replaced. In addition cashless system is desired by both CYC and YorkBID.  The feasibility study will review and consider a cashless payment system and, if appropriate, this project will see the implementation such payment system at both Marygate and Piccadilly. Finally, the user experience at Piccadilly is to be enhanced in order to improve user satisfaction and occupancy levels. The £430,000 budget is sourced via: £330k through Corporate (£180k 2019/2020 budget and £150k 2020/2021 budget) and £100k through YorkBID.
