answer text <p>The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 grants keeper liability for vehicles, allowing landowners and parking operators to pursue the registered keeper of a vehicle for breaches of contract related to parking. Private parking companies must be a member of a trade association if they wish to access DVLA data in order to issue parking charges to vehicle owners. The two parking trade associations, the British Parking Association (BPA) and the International Parking Community (IPC), have their own codes of practice and appeal procedures to which they expect their members to adhere. If a private parking company does not follow these codes responsibly, they risk being banned from accessing DVLA data and will be unable to issue parking charges.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government does not have plans to enact statutory protection for green spaces. We are committed to reducing excessive central reporting burdens on local government. It is for local authorities and local communities to decide how best to manage their local parks and green spaces and how to utilise available funding to best effect.</p><p>The Government recognises the health benefits of parks and urban green spaces. We have invested over £15 million in 2018-19 to support a robust package of new Government initiatives to support the sustainability of green spaces – including £3.75 million on the expansion of the Pocket Parks Plus programme and £9.7 million to ensure local authorities can continue to maintain and develop good quality, accessible parks and green spaces.</p><p>The 25 Year Environment Plan (25YEP) sets out that spending time in the natural environment can improve our mental health and feelings of well-being. Government has committed to actions that seek to help people improve their health and well-being by using green spaces. These commitments include:</p><ul><li>Considering how NHS mental health providers in England could work with environmental voluntary sector organisations to offer mental health therapies</li><li>Establish a cross-government programme that helps health professionals and local authorities to connect more people with nature to support their health and wellbeing.</li></ul><p>Defra, NHS England, Public Health England and Natural England are working together to launch these actions and establish a programme which will deliver the 25YEP mental health commitments.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>We estimate from local authority data returns for the period 2017-18, that there were 584 properties registered as Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) with mandatory licences in Portsmouth; in Southampton we estimate 592; and in Plymouth we estimate there were 695. Since these figures were published the Government has extended mandatory licensing of HMOs to properties of any size, given 5 or more people from 2 or more households. Data on properties licensed since the extension will not be available until local authority data returns for 2018-19 are published in 2020.</p> more like this

answer text <p>HMO licences are issued by the local authority and are valid for up to 5 years. It is the local authority’s responsibility to ensure a licence is granted to a fit and proper landlord. Those landlords that fail to comply with regulations are subject to enforcement action from the local authority. Enforcement guidance has recently been refreshed and published.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Troubled Families Programme is designed to help families with complex needs achieve better outcomes, such as avoiding children being taken into care, by addressing all the underlying problems faced by family members. A single keyworker works with the whole family to agree goals against their problems which can include poor health, drug and alcohol use, domestic abuse, crime, anti-social behaviour, poor school attendance and financial exclusion. When compared to a matched comparison group, the programme was found to have reduced the proportion of children on the programme going into care by a third</p><p><br> However, the safeguarding of children is always the primary concern and there will sometimes be occasions when, despite the support offered to a family, a child has to be taken into care in order to keep them safe. The national evaluation of the Troubled Families Programme shows that approximately 1.7 per cent of children who have been supported by the Troubled Families Programme were in care 19-24 months after they started the programme. Approximately 500,000 children have received support through the Troubled Families Programme, therefore around 8,500 were in care between 19-24 months after the programme began (These figures are estimates and should be treated as indicative only).</p>

answer text <p>Looking at families where programme start and end data is available, we find that on average, families spend approximately 8 months (259 days) on the programme. However, it is worth noting that, because the Troubled Families Programme is designed to provide support which is tailored to each families’ individual needs, the length of time and type of support provided will vary considerably from family to family.</p><p>Some families do leave the programme prematurely; they might disengage or move to another local authority for example. Comprehensive data is not held centrally, but these numbers are tracked locally.</p> more like this
