Looked-after children in Inverclyde 'twice as likely to be put into residential care'
'LOOKED-AFTER children' in Inverclyde are twice as likely to find themselves placed into residential care than in other areas of the country, a new report has revealed. Many of those children - who are in the care of their local authority - have to be placed in residential settings away from Inverclyde because there aren't enough places for them locally. But Inverclyde social work chiefs have revealed that they plan to spend £350,000 a year on boosting foster carer numbers in the area so that more looked-after children can remain within Inverclyde. The plans are being put forward as part of a major redesign of the service, after officials reported a massive increase in the cost of looking after children who are being cared for by the authority. Under the plans, the Inverclyde health and social care partnership (HSCP) will increase the weekly payments made to foster carers by £50 per child, to £350. Kate Rocks' report reveals plans to increase payments made to foster care families in Inverclyde to £350 per child per week - a rise of £50. (Image: Inverclyde HSCP) The figures, contained in a report for the Inverclyde integrated joint board (IJB), which oversees the HSCP's work, are based on five new fostering households being registered in the area. The report, written by the HSCP's chief officer, Kate Rocks, reveals that in the last two years, the number of looked-after children from Inverclyde who are cared for in settings outside the local authority area has doubled, from eight in 2022 to 16 last year. The overall cost of those non-local residential care placements, which can range from £250,000 to £350,000 per child per year, has soared to £5.5 million - an issue highlighted as a major cost pressure in the last budget. The annual cost of an external foster care placement is £64,000 - more than double that of a place within Inverclyde. The number of foster care households in the area fell from 34 in May 2020 to only 20 last year - a drop of 41 per cent. The number of foster care households in Inverclyde has fallen from 34 in May 2020 to a current figure of just 20. (Image: The report also reveals that 81 per cent of children in Inverclyde are looked after at home with family, against a national rate of 89 per cent. In her report, Ms Rocks states: "Inverclyde HSCP values the experience and support our existing foster carers provide to our children and recognises that to ensure that we grow and develop our services we need to retain our existing foster carers too. "Our ambition is also to attract new local fostering households for our children and young people that maintains relationships, friendships and connections within Inverclyde." The £350,000 would come from three years' additional funding from Inverclyde Council for children's services in the area, previously committed as part of the council's 2025-26 budget process. Members of the IJB will consider the report on June 23.

Controversial plan to build 'incongruous' houses in Lakeland village refused
A CONTENTIOUS proposal to build three houses in a Lake District Village has been refused. Permission has been denied by the Lake District National Park Authority to build three one-bedroomed two-storey houses in Eskdale Green. Outline approval in principle for the scheme was granted in 2020 on appeal, but the Development Control Committee has rejected an application to approve the plan for the development, due to it's 'incongruous' design, mass and volume. The site in question is an undeveloped piece of land to the rear of properties along Randlehow and Smithy Brow Lane, on the eastern fringe of the village. The decision report states: 'The dwellings would be built into the topography of the site, which rises steeply to the north, resulting in the development appearing as single storey from the north, but two storeys from the public right of way to the south. 'Despite the use of roughcast render and a slate roof, the proposals would be of a non-traditional character and appearance with large, full height glazed openings, integral garages, modern doors and a balcony across the entire south elevation, facing towards the public right of way. The proposed street scene facing south (Image: Anything Drawn Architectural Ltd) 'The proposals would therefore fail to contribute to local distinctiveness and due to their massing and scale would appear as an incongruous form of development, detracting from the character and appearance of the area. 'This harm to the visual amenity of the surrounding area would be experienced in close range views from the adjacent public right of way.' The report addresses public concerns that the size of the houses would facilitate conversion into more than one bedroom.

The report also stated that the development as proposed could 'not realistically be implemented' without obstructing a public right of way, and would therefore be unacceptable in this regard. The report concluded: 'The proposed development, by reason of its design, volume and massing would fail to achieve design excellence or reinforce the importance of local distinctiveness. 'Furthermore, the proposals would obstruct a public right of way, harming the amenity of users of the public footpath.'

Bright young things in Bolton shine as they voice their thoughts on AI
The voice of Bolton's young people is being heard and respected. Primary school children debated the hot topic of AI at the annual Junior Speaks competition, organised and sponsored by the Bolton with Le Moors Rotary Club. Held at The Oaks Primary School in Sharples, pupils from primary schools across Bolton discuss 'Generative AI is transforming life as we knows it'. Rotarian Andrew Harbot Taylor said: "Before a live audience and a panel of three judges from the Rotary Club, students from several local primary schools presented their views with clarity, passion, and intelligence. READ MORE: A big thank you from Turton and Bolton-le-Moors Rotary Clubs for Christmas Appeal support Bolton's primary schools Key Stage 2 performance released Turton Rotary Club's duck race sees special honour for woman "The standard of speeches was exceptionally high, making it a challenging task for the judges to select a winner. "After much deliberation, Yaya Kalam from The Oaks School was crowned the winner, delivering his entire speech flawlessly from memory — an impressive feat that left the audience in awe. "Two equally commendable runner-up spots were awarded to speakers Aisha Khan and Moiz Ahmed from Heathfield School, whose insightful takes on the evolving role of AI highlighted the depth of understanding among these young minds." The event was hosted by Mr Harbot-Taylor, Chair of the Rotary's Satellite Group — a sub-group of the Bolton with Le Moors Rotary Club, s created to engage younger members and help sustain vital community initiatives such as Junior Speaks. He said: "This year's Junior Speaks event not only showcased the incredible talent of local students but also highlighted the vital role of community groups like the Rotary in nurturing the next generation of thinkers and leaders. "The Rotary Club, renowned for its dedication to service above self, supports a wide range of community, youth, and international projects. The Satellite Club recognises the busy lives and work commitments of modern professionals. It meets just once every six weeks, with sessions alternating between in-person and virtual to ensure accessibility and flexibility for all members. "Interested in getting involved?
