A
Okay,
good
evening,
everybody
I
am
going
to
start
the
meeting
so
good
evening
and
welcome
to
this
meeting
of
the
Worthing
joint
strategic
subcommittee.
It
is
very
nice
to
see
you
all.
Thank
you
for
turning
out
on
this
lovely
November
evening,
I'm
going
to
read
the
health
and
safety
announcement
as
per
usual.
There's
no
fire
alarm
plan
during
the
meeting.
So
if
it
does
sound,
please
leave
by
the
nearest
exit
go
to
the
assembly
point
which
is
at
the
front
of
the
museum
in
Chapel
Road.
A
A
A
No,
okay,
no
worries.
We
will
move
on
items
raised
under
urgency.
Provision
I
haven't
been
advised
of
any
urgent
items
of
business
to
be
considered
at
this
evening's
meeting.
Oh
we're
flying
through
this
now,
okay.
So
we're
going
to
come
to
the
first
substantive
agenda
item
of
the
evening,
which
is
the
corporate
debt
policy
and
supporting
the
most
vulnerable
so
could
I
ask
our
cabinet
member
for
Citizen
Services
councilor
Emma
table
Taylor
to
introduce
the
report
before
us.
Please
thanks.
A
B
You
chair
so
yes
this
evening.
I
just
want
to
give
you
an
overview
really
of
the
the
corporate
debt
policy,
assuming
that
papers
have
been
made
publicly
available
and
so
perhaps
have
been
read,
but
I
want
to
draw
out
the
most
important
aspects.
So,
as
part
of
this
administration's
response
to
the
cost
of
living
crisis,
we've
formed
an
ethical
debt
working
group
to
basically
shine
a
spotlight
on
our
existing
collection
processes
and
to
look
for
ways
to
proactively
Target
financial
support
for
our
citizens
most
in
need.
B
B
The
proactive
pilot
highlighted
the
benefits
of
early
identification
and
support,
so
900
residents
were
contacted
using
outbound
calls
of
which
350
were
successfully
reached
and
250
of
those
who
wanted
our
help
were
successfully
supported
through
this
approach.
B
B
Conversations
are
so
much
more
important
than
what
you
could
ever
understand
just
from
sort
of
financially
profiling.
Someone
when
you
come
to
understand
that
maybe
the
money's
there
but
they've
not
got
the
mental
or
physical
health
capacity
to
be
able
to
to
allocate
the
funds
at
the
right
times
or
maybe
they're
genuinely
struggling
and
in
need
of
financial
support,
or
perhaps
there's
other
really
serious
issues
going
on
within
their
home.
B
So
I'll
just
end
by
thanking
very
much
the
officers
that
and
all
their
hard
work
that's
gone
into.
Putting
this
report
together
and
ask
if
anybody
has
any
questions.
C
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you,
councilor
Taylor,
for
your
presentation
and
endorse
your
comments.
The
officers
for
the
continued
work
they're
doing
on
the
proactive
program,
but
Council
Cooper
is
the
questions
really
for
you.
This
policy
sets
out
a
framework
for
debt
recovery
and
support
and
I
understand
that
and
support
that.
But
I
must
come
back
again
in
the
report
to
the
financial
cost
proposals.
Having
read
in
the
reporting
details,
I'm
sure,
you've
observed
at
paragraph
6.1,
the
report
States
there's
no
direct
Financial,
Risk
or
implications
or
Financial
Risk.
It's
at
paragraph
3.6.
C
It
clearly
states
that
this
policy,
which
that
goes
on
to
support
the
proactive
project,
including
implementation
of
ethical
debt,
will
be
funded
through
an
application
to
the
share
Prosperity
fund.
Now,
as
we
all
know,
the
amount
offered
to
worthy
through
the
share
Prosperity
fund
is
a
maximum
of
one
million
pound,
none
of
which
is
guaranteed
and
has
to
be
bid
for
for
the
luhc.
A
Thank
you,
counselor
Jenkins
I'm,
just
going
to
ask
councilor
if
she
wants
to
ask
us
it
answers.
It
is
her
report,
but
if
not
I'm
happy
to
take
it
no
problem,
so
the
shared
Prosperity
fund,
we
are
well.
We
have
had
numerous
conversations
about
the
shared
Prosperity
fund
and
you're,
absolutely
right
that
it
is
a
maximum
of
a
million
pounds
and
we're
looking
at
the
best
way
that
we
can
spend
that
and
you'll
be
unsurprised
to
hear
that
it
looks
like
our
cost
of
living.
A
C
A
C
A
So,
just
once
more
Council
Jenkins
the
maximum
bit
of
a
million
pounds,
we
are
looking
at
where
we
can
get
the
most
value
for
our
money
and
we
are
looking
within
our
cost
of
living
emergency
plan,
which
is,
as
you
know,
comprehensive
and
looking
across
a
myriad
of
issues.
But
we
feel
that
if
we
put
that
one
million
pounds
within
that
project-
and
there
are
different
aspects
of
that-
that
we
will
get
the
most
value
for
our
communities,
we
will
of
course
share
the
details.
C
A
E
That's
what
I
say,
as
somebody
who's
been
involved
with
the
officers
under
cost
of
living,
emergency
work
and
working
very
closely
with
our
three
cabinet
members
and
councilor.
So,
first
of
all,
councilor
Taylor
Who's,
leading
on
Citizen
Services,
Council
of
Warlow
for
Community
wellbeing
and
councilor
Suleman
for
the
climate
emergency.
A
lot
of
work
has
gone
on
behind
the
scenes.
There's
been
a
lot
of
conversations
as
to
how
to
make
that
money.
E
Reach
residents
needs
the
best
we're
planning
as
best
we
can
within
the
knowledge
that
we
have,
and
so
we're
not
able
to
give
that
information.
But
as
soon
as
we
are,
and
we
have
confirmation
from
the
government
we'll
definitely
make
it
public
but
suffice
to
say,
the
priority
is
really
putting
that
money
towards
the
residents
who
are
most
in
need
and
I
can
reassure
residents
that
a
lot
of
planning
and
a
lot
of
thinking
has
gone
behind
that
and
as
soon
as
we're
able
to
make
that
public,
we
will.
A
Thanks
councilor
Walker
any
further
comments:
Council
Wells.
F
Thank
you
yeah
just
to
say
that
I'm
so
glad
for
the
work
that
you've
that
you've
achieved
collaboratively.
It's
refreshing
and
it's
going
to
be
so
reassuring.
It
is
the
right
approach
at
such
an
economically
stressful
time,
for
so
so
many
people
at
the
very
start
of
the
winter
season.
So
thank
you.
A
Thanks
councilor
Wells
any
further
comments.
Okay,
so
we
are
asked
to
do
two
things.
One
approved
the
corporate
debt
policy
and
support
the
proposed
ethical
approach
to
debt
recovery
and
two
request:
an
update
report
in
six
months
outlining
the
changes
that
have
been
made
to
practices,
process
and
systems
in
support
of
a
more
proactive
and
holistic
way
of
working
do
I
have
a
proposal
for
the
recommendations
in
the
report.
A
A
All
those
against
and
any
abstentions.
No
so
the
proposal
is
carried
many
thanks
for
that.
Okay,
so
we're
going
to
move
on
to
item
number
six,
which
is
reconsideration
of
the
locally
determined
100
one
month,
council
tax
discount
in
respect
of
unoccupied
and
substantially
unfurnished
properties,
councilor
Taylor,
as
our
cabinet
member
for
Citizen
Services,
could
I
ask
you
to
introduce
your
second
report
of
the
evening.
Please.
B
Thank
you,
yeah
I
went
I,
won't
repeat
that
mouthful
of
a
title,
but
just
to
to
lay
some
background
here
then.
So,
since
the
first
of
April
2013,
local
authorities
have
been
able
to
amend
the
period
when
no
council
tax
is
payable
in
respect
of
any
properties
that
are
unoccupied
and
substantially
unfurnished.
B
From
the
1st
of
April
2020
Ada
District
Council
decided
to
abolish
the
100
discount
for
a
maximum
period
of
one
month,
but
Worthing
Borough
Council
decided
to
retain,
and
this
report
essentially
invites
Worthing
members
to
reconsider
this
decision
in
support
of
our
administration's
aims
to
improve
housing
Supply
by
reducing
periods
of
vacancy,
and
on
this
basis,
the
report
asked
to
undertake
a
public
consultation.
B
So,
as
a
snapshot
was
taken
in
October
22
just
last
month,
it
showed
38
properties
qualifying
for
the
100
council
tax
discount.
B
So
for
the
current
Financial
year,
as
we
we
all
understand
for
the
council
tax,
only
12.41
of
the
total
value
of
our
council
tax
actually
comes
to
the
borough,
so
abolishing
the
one-month
discount
it.
It
only
results
in
a
really
modest
projection
in
additional
outcome.
B
For
the
Council
of
approximately
seven
and
a
half
thousand
per
annum,
but
whilst
the
financial
gain
to
the
council
is
really
modest,
as
we've
already
mentioned,
it's
really
important
that
we
encourage
that
Council,
taxpay
and
landlords
bring
their
properties
back
into
Supply
as
quickly
as
possible
to
to
improve
the
availability
of
housing
Supply
in
our
town.
B
We
we
are
experiencing
a
housing
crisis
and
the
fact
that
it
would
so
much
simplify
the
administration
process
and
bring
us
in
line
with
our
partner,
Council,
Ada
and
and
similarly
to
note
that
the
Chichester
Horsham
mid
Sussex
and
Brighton.
They
also
don't
offer
this
discount.
So
for
all
of
those
reasons,
I'd
bring
this
and
thanks
again
so
much
to
the
officers
for
all
their
hard
work,
and
this
one
was
really
fast
and
Sarah
for
making
sure
the
numbers
all
stacked
up.
A
I
can't
see
any
questions,
so
the
item
is
now
open
to
debate
with
any
of
the
committee
like
to
offer
any
comments.
E
Just
to
say,
I
think
this
is
also
to
thank
the
officers
of
the
report,
but
also
to
acknowledge
that,
as
well
as
the
the
the
excellent
work
that's
gone
in
from
offices
and
from
councilor
Taylor
herself,
but
also
to
acknowledge
councilor
Margaret
Howard,
who
has
been
integral
in
kind
of
pushing
this
forward
for
a
couple
of
years.
So
I
just
want
to
say
Obviously
thanks
to
the
officers
and
Council
the
table,
but
also
to
councilor
Howard
for
her
really
hard
work
and
research.
On
this.
A
Okay,
in
that
case,
Council
Taylor,
You've,
Already,
read
out
recommendations,
so
I'll
just
say
again
very
quickly,
just
for
the
record
that
we're
asked
to
one
request:
a
public
consultation
be
conducted
in
respect
to
the
local
discount
for
unoccupied
and
unfurnished
properties,
with
a
view
to
amending
the
period
where
no
council
tax
is
pay
livable
and
to
delegate
authority
to
the
head
of
revenues
and
benefits
in
consultation
with
a
Cabinet
member
for
Citizen
Services
to
finalize
the
consultation
content
with
the
results
and
any
recommendations
to
be
reported
back
to
a
future
meeting
of
this
subcommittee.
A
Do
I
have
a
proposal
for
the
recommendations,
please.
Thank
you.
Councilor
Taylor
do
I
have
a
second
for
the
recommendations.
Thank
you,
councilor
Wells,
and
could
I
request
a
vote
by
way
of
show
of
hands
all
those
in
favor
marvelous
any
against
the
record,
any
abstentions,
lovely
okay.
The
proposal
is
carried
so
a
Jen's
item
seven.
Now
this
is
carbon
emissions
for
2021-22
and
this
is
covered
by
our
cabinet
member
for
climate
emergency.
Unfortunately,
councilor
Selman
is
not
well
tonight
and
she
has
been
able
to
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
A
Thank
you
and
she
has
been
able
to
send
us
some
notes
on
the
report
and
and
councilor
Wells
I
think
is
going
to
present
her
notes
and
and
then,
if
there
are
questions.
Obviously,
if
we're
able
to
answer
them,
then
we
will,
if
not,
we
will
take
them
forward
for
Council
settlement
to
respond
to.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Councilor
Wells.
F
Thank
you
chair.
Yes,
as
as
we
know,
Council
Silman
is
sadly
absent
this
evening.
So
on
her
behalf,
I've
been
asked
to
read
her
statement
to
introduce
the
carbon
emissions
report
this
this
paper
reports
the
progress
towards
the
Adrian
Worthing
council's
carbon
neutral
Target
for
2030..
It
is
the
third
report
of
its
kind
and
shows
that
CO2
emissions
have
increased.
That
is
because
monitoring
of
emissions
for
2021
2022
is
more
accurate.
Currently,
emissions
in
Worthing
and
Ada
are
not
reported
separately
only
scope,
one
and
two
emissions
are
taken
into
the
council's
calculations.
F
These
are
emissions
produced
directly
by
councils
through
their
consumption
of
gas
and
electricity
in
vehicle
Fleet
scope.
3
emissions
are
those
produced
by
activities
carried
out
by
people
in
the
supply
chains
of
businesses
contracted
by
the
council
to
carry
out
services
and
projects.
These
emissions
are
not
yet
included
in
the
calculations.
F
Co2
should
more
accurately
be
referred
to
as
global
warming
gases,
because
CO2
is
shorthand
for
six
greenhouse
gases,
whose
emissions
are
trapped
in
the
Earth's
atmosphere,
causing
the
planet
to
warm
up
a
10
annual
reduction
in
global
warming.
Gas
emissions
is
required
to
meet
the
2030
Target,
but
some
years
will
see
a
lower
reduction
than
others
as
projects
come
to
fruition.
The
graph
includes
5.5
illustrates
the
anticipated
route
to
meet
the
council's
targets.
Works
have
been
done
in
Worthing
and
Aida
to
make
Council
buildings
more
energy
efficient.
F
A
C
Thank
you
chair,
thank
you,
councilor
Wells
and
obviously
thanks
to
councilor
Silverman
and
wish
her
well
for
her
speedy
recovery.
It's
obviously
good
to
see
the
progress,
that's
being
made
and
clearly
more
work
being
done
and
to
be
done.
But
my
question
relates
to
indirect
gray
missions
and
indeed
it's
really
heartening
to
hear
councilor
sillman's
read
words
there
to
hope
to
accelerate
progress
to
2030..
C
So
there's
been
a
displacement
which
may
well
give
a
false
impression
in
the
work
and
Savings
in
the
missions
that
we're
achieving,
can
I
ask
through
Council
of
Wells
or
a
self-counselor
Cooper.
When
do
you
intend
to
start
measuring
scope,
3
missions,
those
associated
with
Worthing
or
Adrian
worthy
and
staff
who
are
using
fuels?
Water
in
their
home,
where
research
shows
that
this
has
caused
an
increase
of
emissions
from
those
private
dwellings
and
indeed
the
use
of
Their
Own
Private
cars.
A
G
G
G
Three,
it's
obviously
significant
significantly
different
sort
of
challenge
which
takes
us
into
the
more
influencing
than
Direct
Control.
So
that's
very
much
about
looking
at
our
contracts
and
we've
recently
developed
a
detailed
contracts
register
in
terms
of
our
procurement
and
and
contracts,
so
that
that
can
allow
us,
then
to
start
to
look
at
who
we're
Contracting
with
and
systematically
seek
opportunities
to
review
that
to
this
purpose
when
it
comes
to
emissions
from
the
home,
councilor
Jenkins
is
absolutely
right
again.
G
This
is
very
much
about
us
understanding
what
what
role
we
can
play
in
influencing
some
of
the
government
schemes
that
allow
people
to
to
decarbonize
their
homes,
so
absolutely
Scopes,
one
two
and
three
are
key,
but
it
was
a
very
conscious
decision
to
focus
our
attention
and
our
time
on
these
big
systemic
issues
that
we
had
Direct
control
over
to
start
with
and
we're
now
in
a
position
where
we
can
move,
move
and
open
up
into
scope.
Three.
A
A
Okay,
so
I
will
just
say
in
lieu
of
cancer,
film
and
bean
here
that
we
are.
She
was
very
pleased
obviously,
to
see
the
report
coming
forward
and
we
are
all
wholeheartedly
behind
all
the
great
weather
that's
been
going
on,
and
we
will
of
course
be
looking
to
accelerate
as
quickly
as
we
can,
but
we
appreciate
all
the
work
that's
gone
in
so
many
thanks.
A
Okay,
so
the
we
are
asked
to
Note
One,
the

A
Do
I
have
a
proposal
for
the
recommendations
in
the
reports.
Please.
Thank
you.
Councilor
Wells
do
I
have
a
seconder.
Thank
you.
Councilor
Turley
and
kit
I
request
a
vote
by
way
of
a
show
of
hands
all
those
in
favor,
and
that's
all
six
of
us
so
I'm
going
to
take
there's
no
against
no
abstentions,
because
that's
everybody.
So
the
proposal
is
carried.
Many
thanks.
Okay,
agendum
item
8
is
delivering
an
alternative,
Bike
Share
Network-
and
this
is
me
so
I
apologize.
A
You
just
have
to
listen
to
my
voice
for
a
few
more
minutes
again
and
then
I'll
be
quiet.
So
this
is
the
proposal
to
expand
the
current
bike
scheme
that
we
have
in
Worthing
across
to
our
neighboring
area
of
ADA,
and-
and
this
is
a
revised
proposal
that
it's
due
to
financial
pressures
that
we're
now
facing.
A
So
we
did
have
an
original
proposal,
which
was
a
procurement
with
Brighton
and
Hove
Council
that
had
a
cost
of
830
000
pounds
as
a
capital
expenditure
cost
across
Adrian
Worthing
and
then
a
sort
of
anticipated
annual
subsidy
of
just
shy
of
150
000
pounds.
Now,
unfortunately,
as
we
are
all
too
aware,
our
financial
circumstances
have
changed
since
that
initial
proposal
was
put
forward
and
I.
A
Think
at
this
point
we
have
to
say
it's
all
credit
to
the
officers
that
they
went
away
and
looked
for
an
alternative,
because
we
are
absolutely
committed
in
Worthing
to
doing
everything
we
can
to
help
people
to
use
active
transport
and
sustainable
travel
wherever
possible.
So
I
think
we'd
better
put
on
record
here
that
the
officers
really
did
sort
of
think
outside
the
box
and
very
creatively
in
order
to
make
sure
that
we
could
expand
the
scheme
that
we
had
and
to
work
with
our
colleagues
over
in
Ada,
as
opposed
to
just
scrapping
it
completely.
A
We
do
need
to
undertake
a
procurement
exercise
now,
as
the
existing
operator
and
the
contract
ends
in
December,
2022
and
but
the
finances
for
this
scheme
that
have
been
looked
at
over
five
years
and
apologies.
I
hope
this
is
the
right
number
for
you
in
your
report.
But
in
my
report
it
was
page
54,
there's
a
table
that
shows
the
finances
and
looking
at
the
income
and
expenditure
over
those
five
years.
A
The
cost
to
the
Council
of
this
scheme
is
actually
it's
cost
neutral,
and
that
is
down
to
the
grant
that
is
available
and
the
sponsorship
that
it's
anticipated
that
we
will
be
able
to
bring
in.
So
essentially,
the
scheme
is
going
to
pay
for
itself
over
those
five
years,
which
is
a
great
thing
given
the
current
Financial
Outlook
and
the
fact
that
we
will
actually
be
able
to
provide
increased
bike
access
to
our
residents.
A
I
should
say
that
the
financial
estimates
are
conservative
estimates
here,
so
it
may
well
be
that,
and
there
is
some
Surplus
income
and
that
this
can
be.
We
would
like
this
to
be
invested
back
into
the
scheme
to
development
to
develop
this
scheme,
particularly
in
areas
such
as
e-bikes.
So
obviously,
at
the
moment
as
I
say,
we've
got
pedal
bikes
for
those
of
us
that
do
have
pedal
bikes,
sometimes
look
at
electric
bikes.
They
call
they
look
exciting
so
and
I
think
the
way
that
active
travel
is
going.
A
So,
in
summary,
I
think
the
officers
have
done
a
superlative
job
here
they
have
taken
what
was
potentially
a
dead
end
for
us
and
turned
it
into
something.
Really
positive
and
I
know
speaking
to
Ada
colleagues
that
they
are
also
supportive
of
expanding
out
into
Ada,
and
we
welcome
the
scheme.
We
will,
of
course
be
monitoring
it
to
see
how
the
uptake
goes.
We
will
be
working
with
local
businesses.
A
A
No
questions
just
the
rain
coming
down.
Okay,
so
perhaps
not
great
cycling,
weather
no
good
for
ducks.
Okay.
So
now
I've
asked.
If
there
are
any
questions,
would
anybody
like
to
comment
on
the
report
at
all
all
quiet
Okay?
So
let's
move
to
the
the
recommendations,
so
we
agree.
A
Councilor
wealth.
Thank
you
very
much.
Do
I
have
a
second
for
the
report.
Councilor
Walker.
Thank
you
very
much.
Kids
I
request
a
vote
by
way
of
a
show
of
hands.
All
those
in
favor
I
think
that's
a
unanimous
fantastic.
Thank
you
very
much
agenda's
item
nine
Worthing
local
plan,
counseling
the
cave
as
our
cabinet
member
for
regeneration.
Could
you
introduce
this
report
for
us?
Please.
H
Thank
you
chair
as
the
as
the
rain
is
coming
down
so
I'm
delighted
to
to
present
this
report
tonight
and
for
members
of
the
public
watching.
This
is
a
big
deal
the.
Hopefully,
this
will
begin
the
process
of
seeing
the
adoption
of
the
local
plan
I'd
like
to
begin
please
buy
and
requesting.
This
is.
H
This
is
noted
in
the
minutes,
specifically
for
placing
on
thanks
Facebooking
on
record
my
thanks
to
my
predecessors
in
the
regenerative
regeneration
role,
so
Nikki
Waite
and
Cal
State,
Kevin,
Jenkins
who's.
H
Obviously
here
tonight
so
I'd
just
like
to
thank
them
for
all
their
hard
work
over
the
years
on
this
extremely
important
piece
of
work
also
like
to
thank
Paul
high
as
well
for
his
work
as
the
chair
of
planning
and
everything
he
did
to
enable
scrutiny
of
the
local
plan
over
the
last
couple
of
years
as
well.
Obviously,
I
would
like
to
thank
all
the
officers
for
their
hard
work,
particularly
Ian
Moody
and
James
Appleton
as
well.
This
has
been
somewhat
of
an
odyssey.
H
It's
been
more
than
six
years
in
the
making
lots
of
work,
lots
of
preparation,
evidence,
Gathering
and
engagement,
and
we
are,
we
are
almost
there
now.
This
report
obviously
sets
out
the
steps
that
we
must
undertake
now
to
see
the
local
plan
formally
adopted.
H
It
follows
a
comprehensive
process
of
examination
by
the
planning
inspector
and
he
has
concluded
that
the
plan
as
modified
is
sound
and
is
legally
compliant
important
to
note,
particularly
the
inspectors
endorsement
of
the
council's
spatial
strategy,
which
allocates
sustainable
sites
for
development,
whilst
also
protecting
our
most
valued
and
sensitive
areas
in
the
borough.
Now,
obviously,
that
has
applications
for
areas
local
green
gaps
such
as
chat
small
farm.
So
this
will
supersede
all
our
previous
plans
and
policies
that
have
developed
over
the
years
within
the
borough.
H
So,
overall,
the
steps
now
to
undertake
the
adoption
of
our
local
plan
is
excellent
news
and,
as
I
said,
I
I
put
on
thanks
my
put
on
record
my
thanks
to
everyone.
Who's
who's
taken
part.
Everyone's
worked
extraordinarily
hard
over
this.
The
the
scrutiny
has
been
robust
throughout
the
throughout
the
six
years
over
six
years.
I
believe
that
this
has
taken
and
I
welcome
it
and
I
welcome
any
questions
and
yeah.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Chair.
A
Thanks
Council
McCabe
yeah,
that
is,
it
is
a
thing,
isn't
it
after
six
years?
That's
a
long
time.
So,
my
goodness,
what
a
thing
are
there?
Any
questions
for
councilman
cave,
councilor,
Jenkins.
C
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you,
Council
McKay,
for
your
comments
and
that
they're
warmly
received
I
endorse
your
comments
yeah
six
years,
but
as
an
adoption
at
full,
Council,
councilor
Cooper.
It
starts
again
on
that
Monday
morning,
the
next
six
years
of
planning,
for
it
all
really
interesting.
Picking
up
on
what
council
McCabe
said
about
the
spatial
strategy
and
the
green
Gap
and
I
think
the
other
local
plan
is
really
welcome.
C
We
fought
off
with
the
evidence
in
this
local
plan,
the
checksmore
farm
development,
the
chatsmore
farmer
pill
and
really
it's
just
a
quick
question
for
you,
councilor
Cooper,
as
I
made
linked
into
the
local
plan
linked
into
Jacksonville
Farm
linked
into
the
green
Gap.
You
were
asked
a
question
that
lasts
for
Council,
whether
you'd
approach
Persimmon
in
relation
to
try
and
purchase
in
that
land.
You
advise
the
council
and
the
public
you'd
receive
legal
advice.
Not
to
do
so.
Don't
dispute
that.
C
A
Thanks
Council
Jenkins,
so
I'll
have
to
go
back
and
look
at
my
exact
words,
I
think
I
said:
I'd
received
advice
from
officers,
not
specifically
legal
advice,
but
I'll
have
a
look
at
that,
and
so
that
would
be
have
been
in
the
form
of
meetings.
I
can
have
a
look
see
if
there
are
any
specific
emails
around.
Obviously
there
are
you
know,
issues
around
confidentiality,
but
of
course,
if
I'm
able
to
make
anything
written
available
to
you,
then
of
course
I
will.
C
A
No
okay,
lovely!
So
could
I
ask?
Are
there
any
comments?
I'm
going
to
open
up
for
debate,
yeah
account
Dr
how
I
need
counselor,
then
goodness
me?
No,
it's
got
more
sense.
Dr
Howe
go
for
it.
D
Got
to
have
stood
up
to
examination
and
to
have
done
the
professional
job
that
the
team
has
done
is
really
unusual.
I
am
the
Envy
of
Chief
Executives
for
this
kind
of
this
kind
of
quality
report
and
I
wanted
to
put
on
record
my
thanks
and
and
also
to
to
acknowledge
what
a
tremendous
sort
of
tremendous
amount
of
work.
This
is.
Thank
you
James.
You
and
your
team
should
be
really
proud.
A
Absolutely
and
we
Echo
that
100
doctor,
how
are
there
any
other
comments
from
the
team?
No
okay,
so
there
are
a
few
recommendations
here
so
bear
with
me.
So
we
are
asked
to

Councilor

okay,
could
I
request
a
vote
by
way
of
a
show
of
hands
all
those
in
favor,
and
that
is
once
again
unanimous.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Okay
agenda
item.
10
is
referral
of
motion
on
notice
from
Worthing,
Borough
Council.
So
could
I
ask
councilor
John
Rosa
to
introduce
the
motion
before
us?
Please
thank
you.
Councilor
Rosa
yep.
Wherever
you
would
like
to
sit
all
yours.
I
Never
get
used
to
these
things.
Thank
you,
chair
in
the
1780s
Benjamin
Franklin,
famously
said
that
only
two
things
were
certain
in
life,
and
that
was
death
and
taxes,
I'm,
not
sure.
If
he
was
the
same
person,
it
was
the
same
person
who's
added
to
that
that
some
people
prefer
death.
As
it
only
happens
once
foreign
says,
some
people
tend
to
see
taxation
as
a
burden
to
be
avoided
at
all
costs,
wherever
possible.
I
I
I
Three
to
ensure
ir35
has
implemented
robustly
and
contract
workers,
pay
fair
share
of
their
employment
taxes;
four
not
to
not
use
offshore
vehicles
for
the
purchase
of
random
property,
especially
where
this
leads
to
reduced
payments
of
stamp
Duty

to
undertake
due
diligence
to
ensure
that
not-for-profit
structures
are
not
being
used
inappropriately
by
suppliers
as
an
artificial
device
to
reduce
the

to
demand
Clarity
on
the
ultimate

of

and

and
their
Consolidated

position.
A
Thanks
very
much
councilor
Rosa
did
you
want
to
say
anything
else
or
are
you
is
that
is
that
concluded
your
presentation,
beautiful
short
and
sweet?
Thank
you
very
much
and
in
that
case
I'm
going
to
open
it
up.
Are
there
any
questions
from
the
committee
for
councilor
Rosa.
A
So
I
have
one
counselor,
Rosa
I,
think
it's
an
absolutely
excellent
motion.
You'll
become
surprised
to
hear
and
and
I
can
see,
that
we've
got
nine
resolutions
that
we
can
consider.
Is
there
anything
else
that
you
think
that's
not
in
here
that
we
think
you
think
we
should
consider
as
well
or
do
you
think
this
is
a
pretty
comprehensive
list.
I
A
Thank
you,
councilor
Rosa
I
think
that's
a
fair
point
as
well.
Okay,
so
if
there
aren't
any
further
questions,
could
I
ask
the
committee
if
there
are
any
comments
or
anything
they'd
like
to
contribute
councilor
Taylor
yeah.
B
Thank
you,
councilor
Rosa,
for
bringing
this
I
know
that
a
number
of
us
actually
were
receiving
sort
of
casework,
related
emails
from
residents,
and
so
on
one
hand,
you
could
argue
that
this
issue
is
so
way
above
a
Borough
level,
but
it
affects
every
single
one
of
us
and
clearly
our
residents
feel
quite
passionately
about
it
and
I
think
the
type
of
council
that
we're
establishing
ourselves
to
be
and
our
belief
in
the
importance
of
community
wealth
building
is,
is
also
very
much
in
in
recognition
of
the
importance
that
we
only
encourage
practices
that
are
fair
and
and
what
you're
describing
and
the
way
you're
describing
being
able
to
pay
taxes
is
very
much
a
privilege
afforded
to
those
who,
by
Grace,
have
good
health
that
enables
them
to
do
so
and
so
I.
B
A
You
yeah
thanks
councilor
Taylor,
and
that
reminds
me
actually
of
our
vision,
which
I
know
councilor
Rosa
can
state
in
his
sleep
that
we
are
trying
to
make
Worthing
the
fairest
greenest
coastal
town
in
the
UK.
So
thank
you
very
much
councilor
Rosa
for
for
bringing
this
further
comments.
Councilor
Walker.
E
Yeah
just
to
kind
of
support
what
councilor
Taylor
said,
first
of
all,
to
thank
councilor,
Rosa
and
councilor
Silverman
for
bringing
this
forward.
This
is
this
is
especially
now
in
times
where
the
the
finance
is
available
for
councils
and
the
finances
available
for
people
and
residents
and
Worthing
are
so
stretched.
I
think
it's
absolutely
fundamental
that
we
start
to
look
at
fairness
in
all
tax
practices,
national
and
local.
E
If
you
look
at
the
fair
tax
website,
you'll
see,
the
statistics
are
laid
out
to
how
important
emotion
like
this
is:
17.5
percent
of
UK
public
procurement
contracts
worth
something
like
40
billion
were
won
by
businesses,
with
connections
to
a
tax
haven
over
the
last
five
years
up
until
2019.
We
know
that
the
public
support
this
nationally
66
believe
that
government
and
local
councils
should
consider
a
company's
ethics
and
how
they
pay
their
tax.
E
So
so,
what's
really
important
about
this
is
not
just
that
it
chimes
with
our
values,
not
just
that
it
links
in
with
the
broader
economic
context,
but
actually
the
public
support
this.
This
is
the
to
something
residents
recognize
as
being
an
inherently
Fair
practice
so
going
forward.
I
think
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
seeing
the
way
our
officers
and
our
counselors
can
work
to
make
sure
that
we
that
we
demonstrate
these
nine
principles,
because
I
think
they're
absolutely
fundamentally
important
in
making
sure
that
Worthing's
a
fair
place.
So
thank
you
very
much.
I
A
Thanks
counciloraser
very
fair
point:
okay,
so
if
there
are
no
further
comments
Grand,
then
we
are
asked
to
consider
and
determine
the
motion.
So
we
are
asked
to
either
support
the
motion
and
determine
how
further
work
is
carried
out
or
reject.
The
motion
so
do
I
ask
do
I,
have
a
proposal
to
support
the
motion.
A
Councilor
Turley
do
I
have
a
secondary
to
support
the
motion.
Councilor
tetler
could
I
request
a
vote
on
that
proposal
by
where
the
show
of
hands.
A
So
excellent,
so
we
support
the
motion
and
in
terms
of
determining
how
further
work
is
carried
out,
could
I
suggest
that
we
ask
for
a
report
as
to
where
we
are
currently
with
all
nine
of
these
areas
that
have
been
outlined
and
then
come
back
because
I
understand
that
some
of
this
work
might
actually
already
be
under
being
undertaken
by
our
Council,
which
is
fantastic,
and
then
we
can
identify
gaps
where
we
can
sort
of
work
further
there
and
can
I
just
take
advice.
A
Does
that
report
come
back
here
or
does
it
go
to
full?
Council
comes
back
here.
Lovely,
so
is
that
all
right
committee,
if
we
ask
for
that
and
can
I
ask
for
a
reasonable
timeline
for
that
not
right
now
excellent
tomorrow
is
fine.
Okay,
so.
D
A
Tax
Okay
so
cancel
it
early.
There
we
go
councilor
Turley
is
our
cabinet
lead
for
resources,
Community
wealth
building
and
fair
tax,
excellent,
so
Council
Telly
will
take
it
forward
with
his
officers
and
Mr
Brewer
smiling
away
there
excellent
all
right,
that's
lovely,
so
Council
Italia,
Mr
bro.
We
look
forward
to
receiving
that
report.
Amongst
all
the
other
work.
I
know
you
have
to
do,
but
it's
incredibly
important.
Thank
you
very
much,
councilor
Rosa.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
tonight.
