Pupils to benefitfrom schools cash

More choice, better support

Over 1,100 people inNorth Lincolnshirehave been given morecontrol and independ-

ence through a new way of fund-ing their support services.People are assessed to see

if they qualify for a PersonalBudget, enabling them tochoose and pay for servicesto suit them. This can includeemploying someone as apersonal assistant. The coun-cil has been working withpeople to create solutionsthat are very different from itsusual services, as each indi-vidual needs different sup-port.To help in the process,

Adult Services helped fundOptions 4 U. This group ofdisabled people assiststhose interested in employ-ing Personal Assistants andutilising Personal budgets. Awebsite called ‘Connect toSupport’ is open to anyonewho wants information on so-cial care and includes a Per-sonal Assistant finder.Nicky Merricks is a service

user who has a cash per-sonal budget, a personal as-

sistant, and is a member ofOptions 4 U. She said: “Ithink being able to accessthe information from Connectto Support online has beenof great benefit. There maybe somewhere within NorthLincolnshire that I want to go,maybe the cinema or a show,or a trip out. Being able to or-ganise those things fromhome makes it so much eas-ier, and there are so manythings that you can do with apersonal budget. The more Ilearn about it, the more flexi-ble I realise it is.”If you think you or some-

one you know might benefitfrom a personal budget, visitwww.connecttosupport.com/northlincs, or call Adult Serv-ices on 01724 297979.

Amajor programme of improvements tothe area’s schools will mean more pleas-ant, modern learning environments formany North Lincolnshire pupils.

Council spending plans for the next fouryears commit over £18m to repairing andmaintaining school buildings across the area.That’s in addition to several ongoingschemes and the £27.4m to be spent on theremaining elements of the Building Schoolsfor the Future programme.The new building works include kitchenimprovements, re-wiring, and roofing repairsand replacements - all meaning schools aresafer and more comfortable. Pupils will alsobenefit from projects such as a new play-ground at Scunthorpe CE Primary School,and enlargement of Kirton Lindsey PrimarySchool to meet the growing demand forplaces. Plans are being drawn up to amalga-mate infant and junior schools in Broughton.The council will soon consult local peopleand others affected by these proposals.There are also plans to amalgamate PrioryLane Infant and Junior schools.

The council is replacing outdated tempo-rary buildings at several schools, includingAlkborough, Bowmandale in Barton, and inWroot and New Holland. These new build-ings will provide a modern, integrated andmore energy efficient learning environment.The all-new St Peter and St Paul school inScunthorpe opened recently, and other workwill finish soon at Willoughby Road Primaryto bring together different year groups onone site. An extension at Althorpe andKeadby is nearing completion, with otherwork under way at Holme Valley school inBottesford.
