A
A
Good
evening
and
welcome
to
this
meeting
of
ADA
District
Council,
this
meeting
is
being
live
streamed
and
for
the
sound
to
be
picked
up.
Members
must
make
sure
their
microphone
is
turned
on.
Before
speaking
now,
I'm
going
to
read
out
the
health
and
safety
announcement,
there
is
no
fire
alarm
planned
during
this
meeting.
Therefore,
if
the
fire
alarm
sounds,
please
leave
by
the
nearest
exit
and
go
to
the
assembly
point,
do
not
stop
to
collect
belongings,
do
not
use
the
lift.
A
The
assembly
point
is
the
car
park
here
at
the
Shoreham
Center.
Please
remain
at
the
assembly
point
until
the
Vise.
It
is
safe
to
return
to
the
building.
Any
persons
with
mobility
issues
must
head
to
the
nearest
stairwell
and
await
further
instructions.
Thank
you
now
item.
One
on
the
agenda
is
apologies
for
absence.
I
have
received
apologies
from
counselors
flower
and
councilor
slumen.
Are
there
any
other?
Apologies,
counselor
Mansfield.
A
B
On
councilor
v,
Barton.
A
C
D
Thank
you
chair
on
one
of
the
executive
reports.
It
talks
about
the
the
grants
for
community
Transport
grants
and
I
am
chair
of
seat
of
ABA
and
we
applied
for
a
community
Grant.
Thank.
A
A
E
F
Well,
thank
you
very
much,
as
you
know,
there's
a
lot
going
on
on
South
Baker
State
at
the
moment,
and
we've
commissioned
faith
on
Farrell
Thames,
the
fft
one
of
the
leading
design
specification
procurement
for
this
program
that
we're
calling
the
interim
Works
program
and
that's
for
the
Southwick.
F
They
have
also
commissioned
a
structural
survey
for
the
balconies,
because
apparently
they
are
not
in
very
good
condition
either,
and
this
will
potentially
be
a
significant
cost
to
the
program.
So
what
we
have
to
do
is
balance
this
up,
because
if
we
start
amassing
unreasonable,
leaseholder
contributions,
then
this
will
cause
even
further
problems.
F
F
But
I
will
emphasize
again
that
there
is
an
active
consultation
going
on
at
the
Southwick
at
the
moment
and
all
of
the
all
of
this
information
would
be
available
to
the
leaseholders
and
the
tenants
whenever
they
request
them.
Thank
you.
E
I
do
I
mean
just
to
confirm,
then
that
no
Works
have
actually
started
as
yet.
I
have
to
advise
you
councilor
Aubry,
that
it
is
a
bleak
and
terrible
situation.
It's
been
the
aided
homes,
tenant
I
can
send
you
heartbreaking
case
histories,
but
what
it
actually
means
to
be
a
tenant
or
a
leaseholder.
Under
your
Administration,
there
have
been
years
of
neglect,
botch,
repairs
and
complete
lack
of
attention
to
these
properties.
E
It
must
break
our
officers
Hearts,
who
are
entirely
unable
to
carry
out
their
duties
with
integrity
and
proper
care.
How
is
your
Administration
planning
to
provide
Ada
homes,
tenants
and
leaseholds
the
standard
of
service
they
deserve
and
pay
for
and
enable
officers
to
perform
their
duties
with
care,
decency
and
Humanity.
F
I
I
thought
I'd
just
gone
through
what
the
officers
are
preparing
to
do.
I
talk
quite
regularly
with
the
officers
on
these
matters
and,
as
I
said
this,
the
company
that
we've
got
in
the
fft.
They
are
now
doing
the
structural
surveys
and
just
listed
the
number
of
priorities
that
they're
going
to
have
Southwick
As
We
Know.
F
F
G
A
H
H
C
E
It
can
take
a
very
long
time
to
get
repairs
to
the
flats
and
buildings
in
Southwick,
and
sometimes
the
work
carried
out
is
not
good
enough
or
doesn't
fix
the
problem,
and
we
have
to
get
people
back
in
to
fix
it.
It
can
be
really
stressful
when
we
have
to
complain
and
wait
again,
who
is
responsible
for
checking
the
quality
of
the
work
on
the
estate
and
what
is
done
to
make
sure
that
the
people
they
pay
to
do
the
work
are
doing
a
good
job.
F
Thank
you
very
much
again.
Mr
chairman.
Firstly,
I
must
say
I'm.
Sorry,
if
there's
been
any
delay
or
work,
that's
not
being
done
properly,
the
the
officers
should
be
should
have
been
contacted
and
if
they
haven't
responded,
that
is
when
you
come
and
ask
me.
F
F
Ada
has
done
10,
442
repairs,
that's
in
six
months
and
after
each
repair,
the
tenant
or
the
leaseholder
has
sent
a
survey
to
find
out
how
they
felt
about
the
repair
and
what
they
think
Ada
could
do
to
improve
it,
and
I
would
encourage
everyone
who
has
a
repair
done
to
please
respond
to
that
survey
of
the
repairs
of
the
surveys
who
have
been
answered.
F
Well,
following
the
pause
in
the
plan,
Capital
works
of
some
of
the
blocks
on
the
Southwick
estate.
A
dedicated
survey
has
been
working
with
the
repair
services
and
the
residents
to
ensure
that
essential
repairs
are
carried
out.
I
note
your
point
about
the
repairs
not
being
totally
resolved,
probably
on
the
first
or
the
second
visit
reason
being
and
I've
said
it
before
the
buildings
in
the
Southwick
estate,
like
a
lot
of
our
buildings,
are
very
old,
while
the
consultation
is
going
on.
F
We
are
about
to
start
an
interim
Major
Works
project,
which
I
mentioned
earlier
on
some
of
the
buildings
in
the
estate
to
ensure
that
they
remain
safe
and
safe
to
live
in,
but
I
cannot
emphasize
again,
please
when,
when
work
is
done,
if
you're
not
satisfied
with
the
work
complain
to
Ada
tell
them
that
you're
not
satisfied
with
the
work,
if
they
don't
do
anything.
That
is
what
I'm
here
for
tell
me
that
I
will
be
on
to
the
head
of
housing
straight
away.
Thank
you.
H
Just
one
thing:
when
there
was
a
storm
last
year,
the
shape
moves
through
a
red
light
off
and
when
I
I
had
to
come
to
the
council
to
tell
them
the
scaffolding
had
been
put
up,
they
didn't
even
know.
There's
no
communication,
they
didn't
even
know
it'd
be
put
up
before
the
work
was
done.
I
Today
and
hopefully
after
today,
we're
gonna
get
things
done,
counselor
Opera!
Thank
you
so
much
so.
My
question
to
you
is
today
I've
noted
that
in
the
Ada
cancer
website
that
several
essential
Publications
they
are
currently
being
updated.
It's
been
updated
for
quite
a
while,
so
I've,
currently
I've
noticed
that
so
one
of
them
specifically,
is
a
is
a
customer
Charter,
the
tenants,
Compact
and
the
tennis
handbook.
I
F
Remember
now,
yes,
well,
but
I'll
say
the
documents
that
you
referred
to,
you're
absolutely
right.
They
are
all
now
under
major
review
and
the
the
officers
the
are
well
aware
of
the
problems,
and
but
two
years
ago
we
engaged
tipas
the
tenant
engagement
experts
to
work
with
us
and
Resident
groups
to
create
the
new
Resident
engagement
strategy.
We
we
got
a
draft
document
going,
but
then
what
happened?
F
All
the
tenants
and
groups
that
were
in
it
fell
out,
so
we
didn't
get
any
any
further
on
it,
but
we
intend
to
review
the
draft
strategy
of
the
documents
such
also
the
ones
who
didn't
mention
on
there
was
the
well
the
tenants
handbook.
I
F
And
all
of
these
items
will
be
bought
to
the
residence
groups.
We
now
have
a
very
strong
leaseholders
group
and
we
have
the
the
sheltered
housing
group
and
we're
still
working
to
get
the
tenants,
Forum
up
and
running
and
once
those
are
all
done,
then
we
will
get
the
documents
out
and
revised
and
all
the
tenants
will
be
made
aware
of
them.
The
tenants
will
just
be
given
them.
The
tenants
will
have
consultation
as
to
what
goes
into
them
as
well
to
ensure
that
it's
all
fair
on
both
sides.
F
I
That's
very
important.
Thank
you
ever
so
much
and
I
have
another
question.
So,
in
the
absence
of
these
three
most
important
documents
policies,
what
are
the
plans
in
terms
of
apply,
how
how
will
Services
be
applied
and
monitored,
because,
obviously
these
are
most
important
documents,
especially
if
tenants
are
actually
struggling
and
they're
going
through
all
these
issues
we're
talking
about
people,
some
people
who
are
actually
facing
issues
whereby
they
are
illiterate
and
they
need
to
be
updated
of
what's
going
on
within
the
console.
F
Once
the
documents
are
in
place,
if
the
tenants
or
the
leaseholders
have
any
questions
whatsoever,
they
are
to
get
hold
of
the
head
of
housing
or
the
tenancy
services.
That
is.
That
is
the
way
to
deal
with
it
once
it
goes
to
the
tenancy
Services.
If
the
resident
or
the
leaseholder
is
not
happy
with
what
the
tenancy
Services
say
or
then
they
they
there's
a
there's
a
way
out.
They,
as
I,
said
before.
Please
let
me
know
yeah.
A
Thank
you
well
done.
We
now
have
Mr
Richard
Allen,
asking
you
a
question
for
councilor
Emma
Evans.
J
Good
evening,
a
large
part
of
the
Ador
Estuary
is
protected
under
the
status
of
a
site
of
special
scientific
interest,
a
very
high
National
level
of
protection
in
England.
What
is
the
council
doing
to
ensure
the
activities
of
residents?
Visitors
and
developers
are
not
damaging
or
degrading
the
triple
SI,
for
example,
through
allocation
of
section
106
monies
from
developers
to
Aid
or
estuary
Improvement
projects.
K
H
K
But
further
on
in
the
meeting,
there'll
be
more
so
with
those
section,
106
money
that
doesn't
fall
under
me,
but
as
I
I'm
I'm
reliably
informed,
it
can
only
be
used
currently
to
mitigate
the
direct
impact
so
such
as
the
Western
Harbor
arm,
and
that's
where
funding
has
been
allocated
to
the
pad
Farm
restoration
project
with
the
environment
act
as
I
understand
it.
K
When
that
comes
into
Force,
we
can
use
that
to
inform
the
local
plan,
that's
under
review
currently,
and
it
will
mean
that
that
will
maximize
all
the
opportunities
for
using
the
section
106
money
in
the
Estuary
to
protect
it
with
the
with
the
area
that
we're
talking
about
I
mean
there's
lots
of
wading
Birds.
There.
H
K
I'm
getting
feedback
that
there's
some
dogs
that
have
been
disturbing
them.
You
know
where
they're
not
on.
G
I
K
Things
we
have
just
gone
through
the
pspas
which
the
public
space
protection
orders
where
it
means
that
people
have
to
get
their
dogs
on
leads
at
the
moment.
We
only
have
that
they
have
to
be
under
control.
So
as
long
as
they've
got
good
recall,
they
can
be
there,
but
they
shouldn't
also
be
on
the
sssi.
So
if
there
are
more
reports,
then
that
will
be
fed
into
the
information
about
the
pspas,
and
that
would
be
something
we
will
look
at.
The
other
thing
is
borders,
the
sups.
You
know
they're
everywhere
now
and
The
Kayaks.
K
They
need
areas
to
be
able
to
access
the
river
safely
and
without
disturbing
the
SSI,
and
that's
also
being
worked
on.
Currently,
it's
obviously
Aida
outdoor
activities,
Center,
the
the
slipway
there
is
the
public
open
access
slipway.
So
there
is
an
access
point
there,
but
we
need
more.
You
know
we
need
to
arrange
with
the
kayak
Club
Etc
to.
L
K
J
And
perhaps
just
an
additional
comment:
don't
think
it's
so
much
of
a
question,
but
there
is
a
lot
of
access
to
the
Estuary,
and
rightly
so.
It's
for
every
people,
but
many
of
those
special
features
which
give
it
the
site
a
special
scientific
interest,
protection
like
wading
Birds,
the
rich
Mudflats,
the
estering
plants
that
do
need
protecting
and
that
you
walk
along
longer
potential
Gem
of
a
natural
area
within
our
community.
There
are
zero
signs
for
it.
J
People
create
their
own
unofficial
access
points,
so
you
get
multiple
unofficial
access
points
and
we
could
all
just
help
it
by
having
a
few
official
access
points
in
having
a
few
signs.
Just
reminding
people
talk
about
dogs,
yes,
there
can
be
a
problem.
A
lot
of
it
is
just
unwitting
people
throw
the
ball
fighter,
loves
to
chase
out
there,
we're
totally
unaware
of
the
the
damage
and
disturbance
and
just
a
little
bit
more
raising
of
awareness
through
signage
Etc.
Very
little
money
could
really
help.
M
Good
evening,
everybody,
my
question
is
to
Aubry
what
is
the
progress
on
the
recruitment
process
of
the
resident
engagement
officer,
as
reported
in
the
last
four
Council
and
just
in
July
2022?
M
Is
this
officer
in
place
yet
the
reason
that
I'm
asking
this
question
because
I've
emailed
various
people
asking
including
our
housing
officer
at
her
request
if
it
was
possible
to
have
the
meeting
place
again
for
our
residence
associations,
which
we
wanted
to
start
out
later
this
month,
I've
also
carpeting
Catherine
Howe
last
week
a
week
actually
two
weeks
ago,
now
asking
for
this
information
and
if
it
was
possible
for
us
to
be
able
to
have
access
to
the
meeting
place
and
yeah
we're
still
waiting.
F
The
short
answer
to
whether
we
have
an
engagement
officer
is
no
no
bones
about
it,
but
with
regard
to
the
Improvement
of
Resident
engagement,
it's
one
of
the
key
factors
of
for
Ada
and
the
officers.
A
new
job
description
has
been
written,
assessed
and
graded.
F
F
Yeah
I
I,
well,
I,
don't
think
you
you
did
anything
to
me
on.
M
F
Right,
but
on
on
the
a
matter
of
the
engagement
officer,
that
process
is
in
place
and
hopefully,
by
next
year
we
early
next
year,
we
will
have
one
thank.
M
You,
okay,
well
I,
look
forward
to
that.
Okay.
My
second
question:
if
you
have
the
ongoing
issues,
if
it
has
maintenance
in
my
block
alone
in
Fishers
game,
I
have
asked
no
less
than
30
times
in
the
last
nine
years
for
our
communal
doorway,
which
is
also
security
door
to
be
repaired,
the
maintenance
guys
have
been
out
numerous
times
and
have
told
me
flat
face
that
it
cannot
be
repaired.
It
now
sits
four
to
five
inches
open,
constantly
24
hours
a
day
365
days
of
the
year.
M
In
view
of
the
insulation
issue
that
obviously
we're
all
facing
this
year,
I
would
like
that
door
to
be
repaired,
I've
emailed
in
again,
including
Catherine
in
the
last
email
that
I
sent
out
no
less
than
20
times
this
year
alone
and
still
we're
waiting
that
security
door.
We
pay
for
out
of
our
rent,
it's
included
in
our
rent
and
it's
a
service
that
this
Council
are
constantly
letting
us
down
on.
M
I'll
hasten
to
add
that
when
it's
wet
the
door
sticks
and
if
there's
a
fire
inside,
we
actually
can't
get
out
so
I'd.
Imagine
that
that
comes
Under,
Fire
regulations
as
well
and
since
you're
being
so
hot
on
them
this
year.
It
might
be
a
good
idea
to
actually
get
somebody
down
to
repair
the
door.
Please.
F
With
regard
to
the
security
door,
thank
you
I
I
I'm,
not
aware
of
this,
but
I
think.
F
Our
repairs
and
department
is
aware
of
it,
then
that
is
something
I
will
follow
up
Friday
tomorrow,
with
with
Mark
Sophie.
Thank.
C
I
think
you've
had
your
questions.
Thank
you.
A
N
Hello:
everyone,
hello,
Emma
hi,
so
my
question
is
about
green
spaces
and
I've
got
a
supplementary
question,
which
is
perhaps
even
more
important
than
the
first
question
I'm
asking.
But
there
you
go
so
I'd
like
to
commend
this
Council
for
the
recent
call
for
green
sites
in
our
area.
This
was
welcomed
by
local
residents
and
many
of
us
completed
submissions
by
February
2022.
N
N
So
can
you
update
us
on
what
your
current
progress
is
with
this
green
sites
work
and
how
many
responses?
You've
received
how
they're
being
collated
and
what
the
final
map
will
be
when
it's
published
and
when
it's
going
to
be
published,
it
would
be
great
to
get
a
timeline
to
help
us
understand
what
the
next
steps
are
and
when
we,
as
residents
will
be
able
to
find
out
about
this
great
green
map
of
ADA,
so
that
we
can
come
together
across
parties
to
preserve
the
few
precious
green
spaces.
N
K
Thank
you.
So
this
is
all
part
of
the
local
plan
review,
which
is
actually
cancer,
nucleus's
bag.
So
I'm
going
to
hand
over
to
him
in
a
minute,
but
just
to
say
that
so
the
caller
to
Green
science
was
part
of
the
local
plan
review.
We've
had
over
50
submissions,
they're
doing
initial
assessments
now
so
someone's
going
to
have
a
timeline
for
you.
Hopefully.
K
If
it's
not
tonight,
then
I'll
find
out,
thank
you.
It
says,
site
suitable
will
then
proceed
through
the
local
plan
process
because
it's
part
all
part
of
the
review.
Okay,
then
it
will
all
come
out
I'm
guessing
at
the
same
time,
that's
the
local
plan
slightly
more
appropriately
styling
boxes.
Yeah
from
bereavement
says
yes,.
N
N
N
P
N
Brilliant
and
I
do
think
this
is,
is
even
more
important,
potentially
so
Adrian
wedding,
Council
acts
of
the
Protectors
of
tomorrow
for
our
children
and
grandchildren.
So
what
provision
is
being
made
to
create
significant
and
actually
that's
the
key
word
here:
new
green
spaces
in
the
western
Harbor,
and
how
is
this
area
of
ADA,
which
is
set
for
huge
amounts
of
development,
and
that's
already
happening
right
now,
being
mapped
in
advance
to
ensure
the
adequate
provision
for
nature
for
people
and
for
for
wildlife,
which
needs
safe,
green
corridors
for
its
survival.
P
A
bit
more
sense
to
sort
of
to
do
a
bit
of
a
double
x
on
it.
So,
just
to
answer
your
question
relation
to
your
the
first
part
of
the
question
about
the
local
plan,
yeah.
N
P
P
We
expect
the
first
meeting
of
the
working
group
to
take
place
within
the
next
couple
of
weeks,
and
so
we
will
get
the
local
plan
review
underway
very
quickly
now
and
then
that
will
probably
trip
into
the
early
part
of
next
year,
but
we
would
want
to
get
it
complete
as
soon
as
we
possibly
can.
Okay,
all
right.
So
that's
now
just
about
to
start
that
process.
In
the
answers
to
the
question
of
time,
scales
on
on
the
local
plan.
P
Okay,
now
I'm
sure
you're,
aware
of
just
intimated,
we've
already
started
a
review
of
the
western
Harbor
art
yeah,
and
that
brief
for
the
review
went
to
the
planning
committee
on
the
3rd
of
October.
P
This
includes
an
element
relating
to
place
making
and
that
will
include
assessment
of
potential
options
for
delivering
open
space
on
site
and
also
resulting
implications
of
that
now.
I've
had
several
meetings
with
local
residence
groups
and
I've
got
more
to
follow.
I've
listened
to
feedback
from
them,
and
the
review
that
we've
instigated
will
be
looking
at
opportunities
to
provide
open
spaces
and
we
will
and
we
do
work
with
developers
as
and
when
they
bring
their
applications
to
us.
P
We've
also
appointed
now
a
project
officer
who
I
hope
will
help
help
us
to
shape
the
Western
Harbor
arm
and
future
development
that
comes
forward
now.
However,
I
want
to
be
honest
with
you
about
your
word:
significant
new
green
spaces
along
the
western
Harbor
on,
because
I
think
it
does
need
to
be
noted
that
opportunities
will
naturally
be
very
limited
by
the
constraints
of
the
site.
P
P
So
there
are,
there
are
other
aspects
that
will
play
into
this.
The
Shoreham
Harbor
joint
area
action
plan
did
acknowledge
that
not
all
open
space
requirements
would
be
capable
of
being
met
on
site
and
in
that
situation,
appropriate
alternative
provision
or
contributions
towards
off-site
provision
would
be
sought
and,
as
you
will
be
aware,
we
do
agree
section,
106.
P
agreements
with
all
developers
that
come
forward
with
their
applications,
and
we
then
need
to
plan
our
open
space.
We
want
to
try
and
shape
the
Western
Harbor
arm
moving
forward
so
that
we
can
be
more
creative
with,
what's
still
to
come
through,
yes,
and
hopefully
rely
on
on
Lower
density,
but
I'm
not
promising
you
anything
that
we,
you
know
we
can't.
We
can't
keep,
because
it
is,
as
I
say,
a
site
that
has
constraints.
A
Thank
you
absolutely
I'll
be
done.
We're
working
on
that
I'm
sure
you
can
meet
afterwards
right.
We've
actually
reached
the
30
minute
limit,
but
only
just
so
I'm
going
to
allow
one
more
question
which
is
Reverend
grant
for
counselor
Borum.
There
are
three
more
questions
which
will
be
out
of
time.
They
will
be
added
to
the
minutes
of
this
meeting
and
published
on
the
council
website,
so
Reverend
Grant.
Would
you
like
to
come
forward?
Q
May
I
just
start
with
a
recent
post
on
our
Facebook
page
of
Shoreham
and
Ada
Community
Food
Bank
posted
by
one
of
our
volunteers.
Q
Friday
saw
our
highest
previous
number
of
Family
household
support
of
36
completely
overtaken
in
all.
We
provided
food
and
Provisions
for
46
households,
40
visiting
clients
and
six
home
deliveries.
This
exceeds
all
other
numbers,
even
those
we
supported
during
the
height
of
the
pandemic.
A
monthly
figures
tell
a
similar
story
during
September.
In
all,
we
supported
160
households
with
food
and
Provisions.
29
of
these
were
home
deliveries
to
some
of
the
most
vulnerable
folk.
This
provided
for
397
individuals,
125
of
whom
were
children.
As
we
look
to
Winter.
These
numbers
can
only
increase.
Q
Q
Shoreham
manado,
Community,
Food
Bank
is
only
one
of
five
food
banks
in
the
Ada
District,
providing
food
Parcels
for
households
that
cannot
afford
to
buy
food.
Ada
Community
Cafe
also
provides
hot
meals
once
a
week
serving
30
to
40
people.
Numbers
are
increasing.
Now
and
services,
often
held
together
by
volunteers,
are
being
stretched
to
Breaking
Point
we're
also
seeing
a
change
in
the
frequency
of
use
of
our
services.
Q
Q
This
is
not
sustainable
and
puts
services
at
risk
of
closure.
How
does
the
council
support
people
through
this
cost
of
living
crisis
that
goes
beyond
the
25
000
pounds
offered
already,
which
is
a
mere
sticking
plaster
and
from
my
experience
nowhere
near
enough
to
address
the
issue.
If
we
fail
to
support
our
neighbors
with
food,
Fuel
and
housing,
this
will
cost
the
council
significantly
more
money
in
the
near
future
and
have
ramifications
for
many
years
to
come.
Q
Q
We
know
already
about
the
proactive
work
and
the
preventative
approach,
but
the
need
is
now,
as
this
is
an
emergency.
Will
you
please
transfer
at
least
a
hundred
thousand
pounds
and,
as
I'm
being
told,
also
matching
Worthing
Council
in
financial
resources
from
your
reserve
funds
into
your
emergency
fund
for
food
support.
R
Reverend
Grant.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
question
and
the
introduction
to
the
question
chairman
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
supporting
and
allowing
us
to
have
time
to
discuss
this
really
important
matter.
Thank
you
very
much
chairman.
Thank
you.
Council
inflation
and
its
impact
and
the
cost
of
living
is
affecting
every
resident
in
Ada.
R
R
There's
no
current
plan
to
release
funding
from
reserves
recognizing
this
would
only
provide
a
short-term
solution
to
the
National
cost
of
living
crisis,
which
is
not
financially
stateable
in
what
is
assessed
as
an
enduring
challenge,
in
other
words,
Ada
District
Council
does
not
have
the
tax
base
to
underwrite
the
activities
of
the
food
banks
in
Ada.
Indeed,
this
was
demonstrated
by
the
support
the
council
received
during
the
covid
pandemic
due
to
such
a
funds
being
transferred
to
us
as
confront
various
other
funds.
So
this
all
came
this.
R
All
of
this
help
came
from
central
government
in
respect
of
Worthing
Borough
Council,
that
100
000
pounds
is
actually
comp
funding
they
received
on
the
pandemic,
which
they
have
re-labeled
as
help
for
the
cost
of
living.
75
000
pounds
of
that
is
going
to
help
low-income
households
pay
their
council
tax
bill
and
25
000
pounds
is
going
to
food
help.
The
food
banks
now
I'm,
not
quite
sure
where
that
is
going.
R
This
does
not
mean,
though,
that
we're
doing
anything
and
nothing
at
all.
We
are
well
aware
of
the
impact
of
the
current
economic
events
and
the
vast
majority
of
households
in
Ada
and,
in
particular
those
on
Lower
incomes.
We
have
published
the
Ada
cost
of
living
road
map
and
a
food
action
plan
to
support
ongoing
activity
in
the
wider
Community
Partnerships
to
seek
system
driven
Solutions,
and
this
is
where
we
can
make
a
difference,
and
we
do
have
the
resources
to
do
that.
R
We're
currently
looking
at
how
crowdfunding
initiatives
May
provide
a
platform
for
donation
to
food
groups,
ensure
effective
food
distribution
channels
to
reduce
food
waste
as
part
of
our
food
roadmap
work,
as
well
as
seeking
to
maximize
access
to
Grants
such
that
the
household
support
fund
and
ensuring
our
residents
are
receiving
all
the
entitlements
available
to
support
them
in
this
difficult
time.
I'm
very
happy
to
discuss
this
matter
with
you
after
the
council
meeting
at
a
time
of
your
choosing
to
discuss
further.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Q
I
I
do
and
I
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
it.
It
really
does
feel
like
19th
century
a
vicar
coming
on
behalf
of
the
poor
of
his
Parish,
to
ask
the
Lord
of
The
Manor
for
some
relief
for
the
poor
of
their
area
poor
of
their
Parish,
and
it
seems
that
this
is
where
we
are
at
now
with
the
cost
of
living
crisis.
That's
where
we
have
come
to
now
and
it's
an
emergency
that
needs
help.
Q
Now
we
really
and
the
food
banks
are
stretched,
they're
really
struggling
to
manage
to
to
get
enough
donations
in.
We
need
help
now
and
please
do
consider.
I
would
like
to
ask
that,
even
if
that
funding
is
not
available,
is
there
any
way
else
to
help
the
food
banks,
because
when
they
go,
then
there's
that
emergency
line
is
gone?
Thank
you,
counselor,.
R
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much,
I'm,
not
sure
whether
the
question
there
but
I
I,
do
fully
understand
your
your
points.
First
of
all,
I
can't
see
any
Lords
and
manners
here
at
all
on
both
parties
across
the
road
on
both
on
both
parties.
Here
we've
got
people
on
Universal
Credit
and
striving
on
both
on
in
all
political
parties.
So
this
is
a
community
issue.
If
there
is
a
law
of
the
matter,
please
introduce
them
because
I
don't
know
who
they
are
blocking
your
battery's
nail
Flats
anyway.
R
They
there
have
been
lots
of
Articles,
particularly
by
the
Trussell
trust
and
and
which,
which
is
highlighted
to
the
government,
the
impact
that
the
cost
of
living
inflation
is
having.
That
is
where
the
funding
needs
to
come.
We
are
brilliant
at
Distributing
it
the
officers
and
and
the
accountants.
Here
we
really
know
our
community
as
well
as
soon
as
we
get
those
funds
from
the
government.
We
can
distribute
them
quickly
and
effectively
to
the
people
that
really
need
them.
That
is
where
that
is
the
scale.
R
We
have
six
pounds:
11
Pence
per
band,
D
household,
going
to
this
Council
per
week,
six
pounds
11
a
week,
so
that
is
why
we
don't
have
the
tax
base,
but
that's
why
we're
supporting
the
trustal
trust,
which
and
all
the
other
reports
that
are
going
through
government
at
the
moment,
so
they
fully
understand
what
is
going
on
in
our
communities.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Chairman.
A
Thank
you
councilor
forum
and
thank
you
Reverend
Grant,
one
thing:
I.
A
One
thing
I've
been
hearing
all
week
on
budgets
is
the
problem
with
taking
money
out
of
reserves.
Is
you
can
only
do
it
once
so
that
is
the
problem
with
taking
money
from
reserves
for
an
ongoing
problem.
It's
there
for
one-off
events
right.
We
move
now,
I'm,
sorry
that
we
couldn't
get
to
the
next
three
questions
and
they
will
be
published
in
the
minutes
when
they
go
on
to
the
council's
website,
plus
the
answers
given
so
we're
a
little
bit
behind
so
item
number
four
is
confirmation
of
minutes
before
us?
A
B
A
People
in
the
public
gallery
people
in
the
public
Gallery.
Thank
you.
We
are
we.
You
are
here
to
witness
the
Democratic
process,
not
to
debate
it
at
the
back.
This
is
not
like
gogglebox
the
people
that
you're
talking
about
can
hear
and
we
mustn't
cheer
or
clap
or
jeer.
What's
going
on
from
now
on,
I
I
think
it
was
all
right
during
questions
where
you
were
supporting
members
of
the
public
asking
questions,
but
from
now
on,
if
you
could
allow
the
Democratic
process
to
continue
without
interruption.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Now
this
is
the
Ada
CHMS
announcements.
Firstly,
I
have
to
announce
the
sad
death
of
former
councilor
Richard
woolgar,
and
there
are
two
other
matters.
I
would
like
to
speak
about.
However,
there
are,
they
are
the
most
important
announcements
I
have
made
as
chairman.
Those
matters
are
the
death
of
her
majesty,
the
queen
and
succession
of
King
Charles
III.
A
A
A
We
must
now
look
forward
to
embracing
the
reign
of
our
new
King
Charles
III,
who,
in
his
accession
speech,
create
paid
great
respect
to
his
mother
Queen
Elizabeth
saying
my
mother's
Reign
was
unequaled
in
its
duration,
its
dedication
and
its
devotion,
even
as
we
grieve.
We
give
thanks
to
this
most
faithful
life,
I
I'm
now
asking
those
present
to
please
stand
in
silence
for
one
minute
to
show
respect
to
our
late
Queen
Elizabeth
and
the
former
councilor
Richard
woolgar.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
God
saved
the
king.
A
S
S
I,
don't
know
what
pastures
new
he's
got
going
on
to,
but
we've
spent
a
very
enjoyable
summer
on
people
were
sitting
in
public
gardens
and
things
like
that.
There's
a
little
Merry
band
that
was
entertaining
job.
Someone
reviewing
the
Constitution
with
him.
A
You
leader,
as
one
of
those
people
enjoying
that
rewriting
of
the
Constitution
I.
Second,
that
pleasure
cabinet
members.
Do
you
have
any
announcements,
no
chief
executive?
Do
you
have
any
announcements?
Thank
you
item
number
six
is
items
raised
under
urgency.
Provisions
there
are
no
urgent
items,
so
we
are
now
going
to
move
on
to
item
number
seven,
which
is
going
to
be
a
bit
of
a
double
Act
by
me
on
my
own.
The
council
will
now
consider
the
recommendations
printed
in
the
agenda
pack.
A
Counselors
have
had
the
opportunity
to
read
the
reports
and
recommendations
and
the
first
recommendations
are
from
The
Joint
governance
committee
and
they
will
be
presented
by
the
chair
of
joint
governance,
which
is
me
so
I
am
here
to
present
the
recommendation
from
the
committee
meeting
held
on
the
28th
of
July
2022,
making
provision
for
an
audit
committee
with
independent,
non-voting,
co-opted
members.
I
move
the
recommendations
located
on
page
five
of
the
separately
distributed
pack.
Do
I,
have
a
seconder.
A
Councilor
Bridges
has
seconded
the
motion
haven't
been
seconded.
The
motion
is
now
open
for
full
debate.
T
Thank
you,
Cher
I
was
unfortunately
unable
to
attend
this
government's
meeting.
So
I
would
just
like
to
clarify
who
will
be
the
two
independent
co-opted
persons?
Will
they
they
be
the
independent
Cooperative
persons
that
we
already
know,
or
will
there
be
a
different
mechanism
for
selecting
them?
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
there's
your
answer.
Do
I
have
any
other
questions
with
regard.
Could
you
turn
off
your
microphone
cast
a
crisp?
Thank
you
right,
well,
I
think
having
been
debated,
we
will
now
put
that
to
the
vote.
All
those
in
favor.
A
A
The
Joint
governance
committee
on
the
27th
of
September,
2022,
modernizing
and
updating
the
council's
Constitution
I
am
here
to
present
the
recommendations
from
the
committee
meeting
held
on
the
27th
September
2022
I
move
the
recommendation
located
on
page
8
of
the
separate
separately
distributed
pack
and
that
the
new
Constitution
be
implemented
from
the
first
of
November
2022
to
allow
the
Constitution
to
be
checked,
formatted
and
published
on
the
website,
also
to
stop
the
Constitution
being
adopted
immediately.
So
we
have
to
have
a
meeting
where
the
Constitution
changes
halfway
through
do
I
have
a
secondary.
A
That's
counts:
councilor,
Tony
bellisis.
A
Thank
you.
I
understand,
there's
going
to
be
a
proposed
amendment
to
this
item.
Councilor
Borum.
What
is
the
proposed
amendment.
R
Thank
you
very
much.
Chairman
can
I
just
confirm
that
everybody
has
this
amendment
in
front
of
them,
or
would
they
like
to
hear
that
my
daughter
tones
again
to
read
it
out
I.
A
You
just
wait
a
moment:
I
think
we'll
get
the
Democratic
Services
officer
to
distribute
copies.
A
S
A
J
G
R
Thank
you.
I
had
proposed
an
amendment
that
the
paragraphs
in
the
security
procedure
was
the
state
of
the
following
the
chair
of
the
overview
and
security
committee
joint
overview.
Excluding
committee
shall
be
appointed
by
the
council.
The
council,
the
chair,
will
first
be
offered
to
a
member
of
a
political
party
that
does
not
form
part
of
the
administration
or
an
ungroup
member,
with
the
vice
chair
being
drawn
from
any
other
political
group.
R
A
S
R
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
The
reason
for
this
amendment
is
as
follows.
We
have
looked
at
statutory
guidance
for
this
particular
position.
R
R
R
It
is
not
to
mark,
but
it
is
all
the
decisions
of
any
security
committee
are
taken
by
a
vote,
not
by
the
chair,
the
issue
that
we
have
got
particularly
with
wording
at
the
moment
and
I.
This
could
happen
to
any.
A
combination
of
political
parties
is
that
if
we
adopt
these
words
and
the
wording,
a
conservative
party
decide
not
to
chair
the
meeting.
R
Then,
as
we
have
seen
this
year,
labor
have
decided
that
they
will
chair
the
the
to
ask
if
we
need
a
then
decide
to
put
the
original
words
in
offer
it
to
labor.
Labor
could
accept
that
we
will
then
have
a
labor
chair
from
Worthing
and
we'll
have
a
labor
chair
from
Ada,
and
that
is
politically
unacceptable,
given
Where
We
Are.
R
V
Thank
you,
chairman
foreign
yeah,
I,
guess
that
we
preempted
this
was
going
to
be
an
amendment,
and
so
therefore
I
have
actually
provided.
I
have
actually
got
some
preparation.
V
You
know
our
opinion
on
this
I
mean
I
sat
on
the
working.
Let
me
just
start
actually
from
the
working
group.
It's
fair
to
say
it
was
a
very
worthy
and
useful
working
group
and
actually
the
best
that
I've
sat
on
since
becoming
a
counselor
and
I've
watched
this
go
to
to
Joss
and
listen
to
the
excellent
through
a
debate
at
jgc
joint
governance
and
both
these
committees
concluded
that
he
would
support
all
the
recommendations,
including
including
this,
which
is
attempted
to
be
amended
now.
You
do
know
our
opinion
on
this.
V
It
is
to
follow
the
guidance
from
the
center
of
scrutiny
and
governance
that
the
selection
of
the
chair
of
scrutiny
should
be
offered
to
the
main
opposition,
and
we
are
told
that
this
Arrangement
happens
in
50
of
councils,
whilst
20
councils
allocate
chairships
proportionally
according
to
political
balance.
V
I
would
add
to
this
that
more
finely
political
balance
councils
as
this
one
is
the
more
the
guidance
should
apply.
The
reality
is
this:
when
it
comes
to
selecting
committee
chairs,
there
are
10
conservatives
and
13
opposition
members
to
pick
one,
and
you
routinely
select
from
your
group
now
I
appreciate.
That
is
your
prerogative.
I
totally
understand
that
I've
listened
to
councilor
borum's,
View,
that
this
recommendation
isn't
for
councils
that
have
shared
services
and
a
joint
security
committee.
But
this
isn't.
This
is
a
technicality
I!
Think
it's
a
bogus
argument.
V
Ada
chooses
a
chair
and
Wortham
chooses
a
chair.
Whatever
the
outcome
of
the
joint
Arrangements,
it
isn't
really
a
concern
and
certainly
not
concern
as
long
as
we
have
the
same
arrangements
with
Worthing
Borough
Council
on
Tuesday
that
Council
committed
to
this
change
unanimously
right
across
a
council,
so
I
would
expect
when
it
comes
to
them.
Selecting
a
chair
for
next
year.
The
conservatives
will
actually
accept.
V
Nevertheless,
Ada
should
follow
suit
to
allow
smooth
operation
for
our
shared
officers.
Anyway,
as
you
understand,
the
scrutiny
function
is
about,
it
will
be
split
into
two
OS
committees.
We
know
that
we've
had
we've
discussed
that
and
the
individual
Council
matters
will
be
taken
at
those
individual
committees,
so
it
makes
it
largely
a
redundant
argument
and
I
know
that
I
listen
to
councilor
Don
as
well,
and
he
wants
to
impress
on
us
that
that
we
are
currently
have
an
independent
chair
and
therefore
nothing
should
change.
V
V
Now
I
don't
wish
to
to
produce
any
of
the
chairing
of
council
loader
a
chair
that
this
group,
the
labor
group,
voted
to
install
several
years
ago
before
you
actually
did
it,
or
indeed
the
good
work
done
and
carried
out
by
josk
over
the
years.
But
without
doubt
the
majority
party,
installing
their
own
choice
of
chair,
won't
be
perceived
as
an
impartial
decision
by
the
public
and
that's
what
is
important
here.
V
V
You
may
disagree
with
this
change,
but
some
of
your
members
on
your
conservative
group
agree
with
us
and
it
would
be
a
shame
to
see
their
independent
opinions
ignored
by
a
whipping
operation.
The
actor
whipping
on
this
itself
would
be
a
contravention
of
the
recommendations
of
the
center
at
the
governance
of
scrutiny.
V
Additionally,
I
I
would
like
a
recorded
vote
if
that's
possible.
Okay,.
A
Counselor
Arnold
I
knew
you'd.
Do
it
right?
Have
you
been
proposed
and
seconded?
We
are
now
putting
that
motion
immediately
to
the
vote.
This
is
whether
we
will
have
a
recorded
vote.
All
those
in
favor.
G
W
Thank
you,
chair
I
was
one
of
the
members
on
the
on
the
working
group
as
well.
Well,
subbing.
Every
week
it
was,
it
was
a
lot
of
fun.
I
think
this
was
the
one
thing
we
we
had
some
disagreement
on
and
had
many
many
meetings
on
so
I
just
want
to
be
clear
to
the
to
the
audience
and
everybody
here
who
might
not
be
fully
up
to
speed
with
the
machinations
of
the
joint
overview
and
discretion.
He
working
group.
W
Basically,
our
Administration
want
to
choose
who
want
the
right
to
choose
who
scrutinizes
them,
where
good
practice
tells
local
authorities
that
it
should
always
go
to
be
offered
first
to
the
opposition
to
the
main
opposition.
W
We
all
need
a
critical
friend.
We
all
need
to
be
scrutinized
by
by
somebody
who
has
different
views
to
us.
W
We
can't
scrutinize
ourselves
and
to
try
and
reserve
the
right
to
scrutinize
yourself
is
just
such
a
bad
look
really
so
for
the
first
few
years
that
I
was
a
counselor
we
had
you
know
Tory
Administration
and
a
Tory
chair
of
of
josk
and
year
after
year
we
asked
that
the
Council
follow
best
practice
on
this
and
for
a
while
we
suggested
even
just
having
an
independent
chair
and
eventually
they
went
for
it.
But
for
a
long
time
we
had
a
Tory
chair.
W
Now,
we've
talked
about
this
at
length
in
the
Constitutional
working
groups,
all
but
two
of
us
agreed.
We
talked
about
it
at
joint
overview
in
scrutiny
at
length.
We
all
agreed
I.
Think
and
all
the
conservatives
agreed
that
it's
it's
not
a
good
look.
It's
not
a
good
thing
to
scrutinize
yourself
to
have
your
mates
who
you're
choosing
to
scrutinize
you.
It
just
doesn't
look
good
and
we
talked
about
it
during
governance,
and
only
two
councilors
that
are
here
were
against
that.
W
The
only
reason
councilor
Borum,
that
we
might
end
up
with
two
labor
chairs
in
this
scenario,
is
because,
when
labor
took
Worthing,
Borough
Council,
the
first
thing
they
did
was
offer
the
chair
to
the
main
opposition.
They
offered
this
conservatives
the
chair
and
they
refused
so
labor
ended
up
taking
the
chair,
but
we
did
the
right
thing.
W
T
Thank
you
chair,
since
I
am
not
part
of
either
the
conservative
or
the
labor
group
I
feel
I'm
able
to
speak
as
an
independent
voice.
On
this
it
was
a
really
was
a
great
privilege
to
be
part
of
the
Constitution
working
group
over
the
summer.
So
I
would
like
to
thank
Jeff
Wilde
and
everyone
else
participating
in
that
this
was
the
thorniest
issue.
This
was
the
issue
that
we
got
stuck
on
now.
T
We've
talked
about
it
at
length
in
the
summer
and
then
we
talked
about
it
really
at
Great
length
at
the
governance
meeting
recently
and
from
the
outsider's
point
of
view
from
someone
who's
not
part
of
one
of
the
main
two
groups,
it
seems
obvious
that
you
offer
the
chair
of
the
scrutiny
committee
to
the
main
opposition.
You
offer
it
to
them,
it
doesn't
mean
they
can
accept
it.
It
doesn't
mean
that
they're,
you
know
you
say
a
wigger
we'd
like
this
counselor
to
do
it.
T
You
offer
it
to
them
now
they
might
be
in
a
situation.
For
example,
we
have
cancer,
loader
who's,
doing
a
very
fine
job
of
just
at
the
moment,
who
isn't
part
of
the
main
opposition
group,
but
is
providing
an
excellent
service.
So
the
main
opposition
group
may
say:
oh
no,
we
think
Council
odor
will
be
excellent
in
this
position,
for
example.
So
I
don't
think
this
is
about
Party
politics.
This
is
about
getting
out
of
group.
Think
now
it's
really
important
to
look
at
reflect
on
yourself.
T
Are
you
following
along
because
you've
been
whipped
into
it?
Are
you
doing
what
you've
been
told?
Have
you
been
sent
an
email
saying?
Oh,
this
is
how
we're
going
to
vote
on
this.
This
is
how
we
think
about
it,
or
are
you
thinking
for
yourself?
I
am
sure
all
that
most
of
the
people
in
this
room,
including
the
audience,
agree
that
it
is
good
to
have
someone
who
has
a
different
perspective,
scrutinizing
whoever
is
in
the
administration.
T
Okay,
it's
really
important
that
someone
from
outside
in
I'm
going
to
get
this,
hopefully
get
this
right,
Casper
weinberger's,
unknown
loans.
You
need
somebody
from
outside
of
your
group
who
doesn't
think
the
same
thoughts
as
you
who
comes
with
different
perspectives.
That's
really
valuable,
which
is
why,
whatever
group
is
in
control.
The
leader
of
the
scrutiny
group
should
be
someone
with
a
different
perspective.
A
You
councilor
Evans.
K
Just
just
to
reassure
you
I
am
the
group
work.
I
haven't
sat
on
anyone
I
haven't
pushed
anyone
into
doing
anything.
I.
Y
Been
here
a
while
now
that
I'm
quite
new
towards
this
but
I'm,
just
using
my
independent
brain
to
work
out
what
I
should
say
Just
moment
in
time,
I've
got
nothing
to
do
with
my
political
but
beliefs.
You
is
purely
what
I
think
now.
Y
Y
My
only
other
thing
I
would
like
to
add
is
that
the
chair
is
chairing
a
meeting
and
not
deciding
an
outcome.
The
outcome
is
decided
by
the
vote
that
takes
place
in
that
meeting.
So
all
the
arguments
that
I've
heard
so
far
in
that
respect,
in
my
opinion,
should
not
even
have
been
raised
because
it
shouldn't
be
necessary
to
raise
them.
A
Thank
you,
councilor
Watts,.
Z
Thank
you,
I
was
also
on
the
same
group.
The
same
group
I
think
it's
disingenuous
to
suggest
that
the
chair
has
no
influence.
Yeah
Luke
has
no
influence.
The
chair
obviously
does
have
some
influence.
Obviously
doesn't
it
doesn't
affect
the
vote,
but
it's
an
important
role
and
in
fact
the
first
paragraph
doesn't
say
that
the
chair
will
be
selected
from
the
ruling
party.
It
says
that
the
chair
will
be
first
offered
to
a
member
of
a
political
group
that
does
not
form
part
of
the
administration.
Z
I
think
it's
very
important
for
balance
and
it
does
look
like
you're
marketing
your
own
homework.
What
have
whatever
councilor
Forum
has
argued.
Otherwise,
it's
just
a
rubber
stamping
exercise.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you
very
much
chair
I'm,
not
going
to
go
over
too
much
of
the
ground.
The
stuff
that's
already
been
said,
but
again
was
on
the
working
group
here
and
I
and
I
would
Echo
what
my
all
of
my
colleagues
say.
It
was
one
of
the
best
working
groups,
I've
ever
been
I've
ever
been
on.
D
There
was
intelligent
debate
and
on
this
particular
item
we
were
talking
I
think
we
dedicated
something
like
four
four
and
a
half
hours
over
the
varying
of
either
working
group,
as
well
as
the
conversations
that
went
on
at
jgc
and
josk
and
maybe
even
five
hours
and
at
josk.
It
was
a
unanimous
vote
that
everyone
wanted
these
recommendations
to
go
forward,
including
this
one
and
at
jgc.
We
spent
again
about
another
two
hours
on
this
subject,
so
it
is.
D
It
is
frustrating
in
some
ways
that
here
we
are
again
and
we
are
defacing
this
item
again
and
I
also
feel
that
there's
a
slight
disservice
to
the
officers
who
who
had
to
sit
through
those
hours
and
hours
and
hours
for
allow
us
to
ignore
some
of
those
recommendations
that
came
up
with
the
majority
and
try
and
cycle
back
on
these
now.
I
want
to
talk
about
the
impartiality
of
chairs,
because
I
will
tell
you
in
an
experience
that
chairs
are
very
important
for
the
scrutinizing
and
the
impartiality
and
the
Democracy.
D
D
They
are
part
of
that
decision
as
to
whether
that
scrutiny
takes
place
and
comes
on
to
the
work
record,
and
there
was
an
occasion
where
a
working
group
had
not
adequately
a
decision
was
taken
to
remove
the
request
of
a
public
public
scrutiny,
request
over
the
environment
and
I
think
that
was
handled
badly
because
actually
I
think
that
should
have
been
allowed
to
come
to
a
working
group.
So
I
want
you
to
give
that
as
an
indication
that
actually
not
all
chairs,
sometimes
times,
work
with
that
impartiality
in
mind.
D
So
I
want
to
sum
up
by
saying
that
actually,
the
scenario
that
councilor
Borum
gave
was
actually
one
in
a
million
that
that
scenario
will
come
up
is
that
you
would
have
the
same
chair
taking
place
for
each
josk
and
I
just
want
to
say
for
the
for
the
respect
of
people's
time,
for
the
recommendations
and
for
those
the
group
and
for
jgc
and
Josh
who
made
those
recommendations
and
for
the
officer's
time,
I
think
we
should
adhere
that
and
we
should
respect
it.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
chairman
I'm
I'm
touched
that
counselor
Helen
has
has
mentioned
me
and
already
preempted
the
fact
that
I
am
going
to
suggest
that
this
Council
has
a
history
of
appointing
independent
chairpersons
to
ask,
and
just
because
we
do
and
Council
of
stoneforth.
Whilst
you
might
like
to
think
it
was
your
group
that
persuaded
us
to
do
that.
We've
had
an
independent
chairman
prior
to
your
election
to
this
Council,
so
we're
not
opposed
to
Independent
chairman
of
the
Council
of
the
committee.
B
Indeed,
we
appoint
independent
chairman
to
the
committee
in
some
cases,
for
many
of
the
reasons
that
were
discussed
at
the
working
group
I'm
sure.
However,
it
seems
that
our
main
opposition
group
want
this
counselor
to
be
independent,
provided
it's
one
of
their
independence
and
that's
not
acceptable
chairman.
It's
quite
clearly
an
independent
should
be
an
independent,
so
we're
very
happy
with
the
decision
that
we
make
to
appoint
independent
chairman
to
that
committee
on
the
on
the
point
that
we
should
be
following
Worthing,
because
it
makes
everything
a
lot
easier.
B
Well,
forgive
me
if
I've
just
mentioned
that
the
residents
of
ADA
are
not
happy
to
be
part
of
a
Joint
Council
with
Worthing
I'm,
very
proud
that
this
council
is
separate
from
Worthing
and
I
have
no
intention
of
following
what
they
want
to
do
in
Worthing
here
so
which
bit
do
we
follow?
Do
we
follow
the
75
000
pounds?
The
earlier
we
heard
much
volunteer
help
for
communities
with
their
food
which,
which
your
group
in
Worthing
has
snaffled
back
75
grand
of
that
hundred
thousand
pounds
much
vaunted
snaffled
back
to
paid
council
tax.
B
A
B
I
have
no
intention
of
following
them
with
the
five
pound
minimum
charge
for
council
tax.
The
Worthing
of
held
on
to
notwithstanding
the
fact
I
seem
for
a
member
of
meeting
where
it
was.
It
was
agreed
that
that
was
going
to
be
going,
but
that
was
retained
so
I'm
not
going
to
follow
worthy
I'm.
Very
happy
with
the
independent
chairman
that
we
have
appointed
to
this
committee.
I'm
extremely
happy
that
councilor
loader
is
an
extremely
competent
chair
of
that
committee
and
I
see
no
reason
why
we
should
impose
why
we
should
impose.
A
A
P
Well,
it
was
to
be
fair.
There's
not
many
people
do
get
too
close
to
it.
So
I'll
I'll
accept
it.
It's
fine
I'll,
keep
it
very
short
and
sweet.
Everyone
seems
to
be
commenting
whether
they
remember
the
working
group
or
not.
I
wasn't
just
for
just
in
case
anyone's
interested,
but
councilor.
Arnold
quite
rightly
mentioned
that
impartiality
of
this
chair
was
vitally
important.
P
A
I
have
to
say
that
when
I
say
neoclius
to
Siri,
it
calls
you
so
now.
Would
anybody
else
like
to
speak
before
I
offer
accounts
to
stand
forth?
You
have
already
spoken.
A
S
Yeah.
We
had
fun
summer
fun
summer
doing
this
didn't
we.
This
was
the
sticking
point
all
the
way
through
I've
had
certain
councils
saying
we'll
vote
on
it
tonight,
not
realizing
that
working
groups.
You
don't
vote
on.
S
It's
carried
on
through
its
journey
and
it
we
had
a
quite
a
little
bumpy
interlude
joints,
strategic
Committee
in
Worthing,
which
was
resolved
by
the
chief
executive
sort
of
Standards,
stepping
in
and
saying
she'd
find
out
certain
facts
and
get
them
sent
to
me
and
the
leader
of
Worthing
and
just
for
interest.
I
have
in
front
of
me
the
briefly
note
sent
to
me
by
our
monitoring
officer,
Mr
Wilde,
about
the
matter
as
requested
by
the
chief
executive
and
it
states
that
it
is
important.
S
S
It's
for
unitary
authorities,
nothing
to
do
with
normal
districts,
let
alone
two
districts
and
buyers
working
together,
and
it
does
actually
go
on
to
say
which
I
find
it
found
very
interesting
that
political
cheering
is
entirely
at
the
discretion
of
the
majority
party
majority
parties
can,
if
they
wish
Reserve
all
committee
chairs
and
vice
chairmanships
to
themselves.
This
is
the
case
in
about
50
percent
of
the
councils
in
Britain
in
England,
so
all
we've
heard
about
best
practice
and
everybody
else
does.
It
is
not
very
accurate
and
at
that
point.
A
R
A
Thank
you,
councilor
Purim
I'm,
going
to
have
the
last
word
just
to
sum
up,
my
own
opinion
is
that
we
should
not
have
positive
discrimination
in
matters
such
as
this,
because
it
limits
the
ability
to
recruit
the
most
able
candidate,
whichever
party
they
might
be
in
I.
Think
we
have
the
most
able
candidate
at
the
moment,
cheering
josk
and
it
happens
to
be
councilor
loader.
A
It
could
just
as
easily
have
been
somebody
from
the
labor
group
or
somebody
from
the
conservative
group
and
to
put
a
restriction
on
that.
I
think
would
be
wrong
and
I
think
what
we
have
here
is
an
advisory
body
who
recommend
the
wording
that
we
wish
to
be
replaced
and
we
have
the
statutory
guidance
that
recommends
the
wording
in
this
amendment
and
I
spent
a
solid
day
reading
the
lot.
A
C
L
Thank
you
chair,
so
member,
when
I
read
out
your
name,
can
you
just
please
say
for
against
or
abstain?
L
L
L
Chair
the
results
are
14
4
10
against
M1
abstention,
so
the
amendment
is
carried.
Thank
you
very
much.
We.
A
Are
now
going
to
open
the
debate
on
the
Constitution
as
amended,
so
would
anybody
now
the
clock
rewinds
so
that
we
can
now
debate
again
but
I
don't
think
we
should
be
debating
this
particular
amendment
when
we
consider
the
Constitution
you
can,
if
you
want
I'm,
not
going
to
try
and
stifle
the
debate.
So
would
anybody
like
to
comment.
A
It
gives
me
great
pleasure,
as
I
have
worked
with
all
of
these
people,
to
introduce
the
motion
conferment
of
honorary
alderman
to
councilor
Brian,
bogus
and
Council
of
former
councilor
Brian
Boggess
and
former
councilor
Jeff
howett
and
older
women
to
former
councilor
Lisa
McKinney
and
Debbie
Kennard.
A
So
the
I
moved
the
recommendation
located
on
page
nine
of
the
SEC
of
the
separately
distributed
pack,
do
I,
have
a
seconder,
councilor,
Cowan
haven't
been
proposed
and
seconded.
The
motion
is
now
open
to
full
debate.
O
To
have
knowledge
of
all
four
and
they're
all
very
worthy
I,
obviously
have
very
special
knowledge
of
councilor
Lisa
McKinney
and
her
commitment
to
Shoreham
Beach.
She
was
a
counselor
for
16
years.
One
of
Lisa's
favorite
comments
is
that
she
fought
like
Fury.
Anyone
who
knows
Lisa
will
know
that
that
sums
up
the
essence
of
somebody
that
was
very
short
in
stature,
but
was
possibly
one
of
the
largest
personalities
that
I've
ever
known
her
commitment
and
her
passion
and
her
sheer
gritted
determination.
O
Some
might
call
bloody
mindedness,
and
she
would
take
that
as
a
compliment,
because
she
was
she
stuck
to
her
guns
and
she
fought
for
what
she
believed
in
and
I
think
her
commitment
to
public
service
was
unparalleled,
really
and
I.
Doubt
we'll
ever
see
the
like
again,
so
I'm
very
pleased
that
she's
been
put
forward
for
this
honor
and
she's
also
very
touched.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
A
S
G
S
A
D
Thank
you,
chair
and
I
wanted
to
say
really
a
big
thanks
to
Catherine
Howe
and
her
team
for
for
creating
this
plan.
It's
it's
very
comprehensive.
D
So
thank
you
and
what
I
wanted
to
also
talk
about
is
that
I
I'm,
with
very
interested
with
the
the
sort
of
the
three
values
that
sit
behind
the
plan,
the
resilience
and
making
the
best
of
Finance
resources
and
the
investing
of
the
people
and
the
fact
that
it
talks
about
adaptability
is
the
second
one
and
finding
creative
and
effective
ways
to
meeting
challenging
needs
and
that
the
participation
and
putting
people
at
the
heart
of
decision
making
services.
D
So
a
part
of
that
plan
talks
about
how
staff
engagement
so
and
and
in
terms
of
creation
of
the
plan.
It
would
be
really
wonderful
over
the
next
sort
of
three
to
four
five
months
be
talking
about
how
employers
are
continuously
engaged,
how
that
engagement
plan
went
with
them
to
create
that
plan
and
how
they're
made
to
feel
involved
and
invested.
So,
as
we
all
know,
plans
are
brilliant,
but
it
takes
the
staff
to
make
it
happen.
So
I
would
be
really
interested
to
hear
more
about
that
in
the
future.
A
You
councilor
Arnold
councilor
Borum,.
R
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
very
much
for
playing
and
GPS.
Thank
you
very
much
as
as
the
leader
we'll
say
in
a
minute,
I'm
sure
he
will
say
it
is
readable
and
understandable.
So
thank
you
so
so
much.
It
is
also
Slimmer
than
the
other
volumes
we've
had
to
work
through
in
the
past.
I
agree
with
councilor
Arnold,
I
I
think
this
is
a
brilliant
step
forward.
R
It
not
only
is
it
closer
to
our
officers
delivering
these
vital
services
to
the
community,
but
is
it
also
closer
to
our
communities
and
I?
Think
getting
everybody
particularly
at
the
moment
when
we're
all
under
such
pressure
and
stress,
through
all
sorts
of
different
reasons,
I
think
the
community
working
closer
together
makes
for
a
stronger,
a
more
resilient
community
and
with
a
a
cabinet
title
of
community
and
well-being
I
can't
help,
but
but
but
agree
with
this
plan.
Thank
you.
Thank.
W
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Chair
I
also
want
to
speak
to
the
language
of
this
plan.
I.
Remember
speaking,
one
of
my
first
Council
meetings
about
the
the
then
corporate
plan
and
I
asked
who's.
W
This
sort
of
corporate
document
supposed
to
be
for
our
previous
document,
I
I,
mentioned
at
the
time,
was
a
document
for
academics
or
think
tanks
interested
in
local
government
and
as
that
it
was
pretty
good,
but
it
wasn't
a
good
corporate
plan
for
staff
and
it
wasn't
a
good
corporate
plan
for
residents
and
and
really
nobody
understood
a
word.
A
good
corporate
plan
is,
for
everyone
and
I
think
you've
really
hit
the
nail
on
the
head
with
this
one.
Thank
you.
A
So,
as
nobody
else
has
raised
their
hand,
councilor
Parkin,
would
you
like
to
reply.
S
A
Thank
you
so
having
been
proposed
and
seconded
and
debated,
this
item
is
now
being
recommendations.
Are
please
indicate
by
a
show
of
hands
whether
you're
in
favor,
all
those
in
favor.
A
V
You
chairman,
I,
just
wanted
to
just
refer
to
I
think
it's
4.2
regarding
the
total
Investments.
The
fact
that
there
is
a
reduction
in
Investments
I
think
it's
500
000
pound
in
Ada
I
can
quite
understand
it.
Considering
the
financial
pressures
the
council
is
under
is
a
pragmatic
decision.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
where
that
what
would
where
that
found
a
thousand
pound
ago,
what
would
be
what
will
be
dropped
if
anything
be
dropped?
What,
where
would
that
reduction
would
come?
Is
there
any
indication.
V
V
B
Done
I'm
just
going
to
provide
some
clarification,
if
that's
all
right,
so
so
that's
the
wrong
report.
So
this
is
the
strategy.
The
actual
where
the
money
is
going
to
be
spent
will
come
later
in
the
early
in
the
new
year
once
the
budget
rounds
have
been
gone
through
and
the
numbers
have
been
properly
worked
out
so
they're
a
bit
premature,
I
was
going
to
go
in
in
February,
maybe.
A
Thank
you,
councilor
Dunn
I
was
slightly
worried.
People
would
be
reluctant
to
raise
their
hands
now,
but
would
anybody
else
like
to
say
anything
in
this
debate?
Councilor,
Arnold,
very
brave.
D
Thank
you,
chair
and
I.
Just
see
my
comment
or
a
little
bit
of
layout,
and
so
it's
I
was
going
to
ask
I
know
that's
difficult,
because
Sarah
goby
and
her
team
aren't
here
today
but
and
I
was
just
going
to
make
a
general
point
and
a
bit
of
feedback
on
the
layout
of
the
report.
D
If
that's
okay
and
really
it's
a
really
brilliant
report-
and
it's
very
insightful,
but
what
I
was
wondering-
is
that
sometimes
it's
very
it's
a
little
difficult
to
read
and
compare
some
of
the
the
layout
in
terms
of
the
figures,
so
I'm
wondering
if
we
could
have
a
little
bit
of
feedback
here.
So
a
general
comment
on
layout
of
the
2013
statutory
guidance
on
local
government
Investments
suggests
that
the
councilors
and
the
public
to
understand
risk
exposure.
That
councils
could
could
State
a
loan
to
value
ratios,
Within,
financial
reporting,
feedback
and
I.
D
Think
that
would
be
really
helpful
for
us
to
us
to
ascertain
some
of
the
risk.
A
lot
more
so
I
wanted
that
little
bit
of
feedback
could
go
back.
Also,
on
page
18,
it
states
that
Ada's
investments
in
one
column
are
over
five
years.
The
next
one
is
One
Financial
year
next
column
is
One
Financial
year
and
the
next
column
after
that
states
future
years,
which
gives
no
actual
period
so
just
that
little
bit
of
feedback
that
helped
us
to
understand
the
Investments
and
the
Strategic
investment
portfolio.
D
What
we're
doing
at
a
light-for-like
basis,
we
can
compare
eggs
with
eggs,
and
one
thing
that
I
also
wanted
to
say
was
that
we
welcomed
that
the
capital
prioritization
for
the
Strategic
investment
plan
is
they
are
now
going
to
look
at
investing
locally,
which
is
which
is
fantastic,
and
we
really
look
forward
to
hearing
some
of
the
feedback
of
where
some
of
that
investment
plan
has
been
invested
around
in
in
the
Ada
area.
I
think
that's
fantastic
and
we
really
give
good
credit
to
that.
D
The
other
thing
that
I
did
want
to
note,
though,
is
also
something
else
of
of
good
Praise
Is,
that
the
Strategic
investment
plan
model
and
an
appendix
to
the
capital
prioritization
model.
What
I?
What
jumped
out
to
me
is
that
you're
going
to
put
more
points,
scored
towards
investment,
where
the
council
will
improve
equalities,
particularly
around
the
disability,
Discrimination
Act,
as
well
five
additional
points
to
capital
projects
in
those
those
areas.
D
When
you
look
at
the
considerations,
so
we
look
forward
to
hearing
how
those
local
Investments
come
through
that
meet
this
criteria
as
well.
Of
course,
meeting
the
other
return
on
investment
criteria
noted
in
the
capital
prioritization
model,
and
one
other
thing
that
I
also
wanted
to
know
is
and
and
it's
you're
gonna
have
to
forgive
me
because
you
know
this
is
something
that
I
mentioned
quite
a
bit
return
on
capital
investment
and
it
talks
about
two
percent
return
in
the
capital
investment
plan.
And
that's
when
we'll
we
will
invest
and
I
know.
D
We
have
some
long-term
Investments
that
already
have
already
secured
low
interest
rates,
which
is
great,
but
with
any
new
products
coming
on
board
to
invest
in
and
when
interest
rates
in
6.2
you
talk
of
interest
rates
being
five
percent.
Do
we
have
concerns
and
I
would
love
to
hear
how
we
might
overcome
some
of
those
concerns
with
those
kind
of
levels
of
interest
rates,
we're
looking
at
and
offsetting
those.
Thank
you.
A
As
I
said,
this
isn't
question
time,
but
thank
you.
You
may
get
answers
you
may
not.
Would
anybody
else
like
to
join
in
the
debate?
A
Thank
you,
Castle
parking.
Would
you
like
to
reply.
S
Only
as
much
to
say
a
simple
reason:
muskogee's
not
here
tonight,
is
that
officers
aren't
allowed
to
speak
for
councils
anyway
and
during
the
because
the
amount
of
work
they're
having
to
do
and
the
pressure
they're
under
I
for
one
and
I
I
hope
the
leader
were
things
following
suit,
are
minimizing
the
amount
of
Officer
attendance
at
meetings,
because
otherwise
we're
just
going
to
burn
them
out.
S
S
Know
the
chief
executive
officers
also
wants
to
be
here
so
okay,
Mr
Wilde
says
he
doesn't
trust
us,
but
anyway,
no
that's
all
seriousness.
You
know
we've
got
to
watch
out.
We
don't
burn
them
out.
So
that's
why
they're
not
here
any
of
those
questions
get
onto
this
goby.
You
know
I
can
answer
the
one
about
the
up
to
25
and
then
the
just
a
year
that
it's
because
this
is
the
23-26.
S
So
that's
why
it's
ending
for
26
as
it
were,
but
you
know
I
must
admit.
I've
never
had
trouble
with
her.
S
And
having
had
other
Chief
Financial
officers,
I
can
assure
you
one
of
the
things
I
mean
Miss
go,
we
used
to
work
for
Ada
and
then
she
left
and
went
to
work
for
Worthing,
because
I
offered
her
more
money.
It's
before
we
were
working
together
and
we
had
Finance
offices,
I
mean
it
could
have
been
in
hieroglyphics
their
reports.
You
know
oh
and
it
was
worth
joining
with
Worthing
just
to
get
her
back.
You
know
inviting
a
report.
S
A
A
It
gives
me
Comfort,
so
you
are
now
voting
on
the
recommendations
on
page
13
of
your
separately
distributed
pack
all
those
in
favor.
A
H
A
T
This
is
relating
to
councilor
Evans,
saying
earlier
that
there
would
be
an
opportunity
to
come
back
and
talk
more
about
this,
and
then
some
of
the
questions
didn't
get
asked
so
I
wonder
if
we
could
have
a
discussion
about
the
need
for
slightly
extended
pspo
areas
and
when
that
could
take
place.
This
is
a
I
know.
It's
not
going
to
be
a
question.
It's
not
going
to
be
a
question
or
a
debate.
No,
it's
not
a
question,
though.
T
S
Only
yeah
I
mean
this
is
the
the
particular
one
here
was
including
the
fence
off
area
in
the
meat
playing
grounds,
but
yeah
I
mean
they
are
on
joint
strategics
agenda
watch
out
then,
if
you've
got
anything
particular
come
along
and
join
in,
especially
now
as
it's,
it
would
be
just
be
joint
strategic,
Ada
subcommittee,
one
which
means
there's
six
of
us
Mr
Hillman.
If
he
doesn't,
he
started
starting.
S
It
was
very
here
tonight,
but
it
was
a
bit
rough
weather
that
night
thing
and
he
said
I'm
watching
on
the
Telly.
Didn't
you
yeah
so,
and
we
missed
him
because
he
phoned
me
up
and
said
no
I'm
fine,
but
yes,
no
you're
more
than
welcome
to
come
along.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councilor
Parkin,
we'll
now
have
a
vote
by
a
show
of
hands.
You
are
voting
on
the
recommendation
on
page
16
of
your
separately
distributed
pack
all
those
in
favor.
A
D
U
U
U
A
I'll
give
you
that
one
and
then
we'll
have
a
break,
so
we're
going
on
to
item
number
eight
after
that
medical
emergency,
so
reporter
of
the
leader
on
decisions
taken
by
the
executive,
they
completely
updated
report
is
detailed
in
the
separately
circulated
pack.
A
A
A
Yeah,
sorry,
sorry
when
the
leader
remembers
have
finished
so
go.
Thank.
S
You
thank
you
yeah.
Thank
you.
Chairman
I
haven't
got
anything,
but
my
my
colleague,
the
cabinet
member
for
environment
I
think
no
no
you're
an
indicating
all
right.
Okay,
then
yeah
after
the
next
bit
go.
A
T
Thank
you,
chair
I
would
like
clarification.
Cabinet
member
for
environment
Leisure
jaw008
on
page
17,
a
waste
and
street
cleaning
vehicle
Replacements
moving
to
an
ultra
low
emission
Fleet.
T
Could
you
please
expand
on
what
this
means
is
this,
for
example,
working
with
H2
green
at
the
port
on
the
hydrogen
Fleet?
Thank
you.
Councilor.
C
K
I
think
we're
probably
not
at
that
stage
yet,
however,
we're
getting
there,
we
did
try
an
electric
bin
Lorry,
not
a
success
when
it
broke
down,
but
no
I
think
the
team
are
probably
best
suited
to
maybe
get
you
a
very
technical
answer
that
I'm
sure
you
will
enjoy.
That
would
be
yeah.
Thank
you.
Thank.
S
It's
something
I've
done,
but
it's
not
here.
We
put
in
a
bid
last
week
to
government
for
funding
a
large
number
which
would
go
to
the
the
port
for
the.
S
G
A
I've
got
it
here,
so
it's
item
10,
isn't
it
so
item
nine
is,
is
before
the
council
is
a
report
by
the
head
of
paid
service
beginning
on
page
17.,
the
council
is
recommended
to
designate
Joanne
Lee
as
the
council's
monitoring
officer
with
effect
from
28th
of
October
2022.
Do
I
have
a
proposal
for
this
item.
Councilor
parking
do
I,
have
a
seconder
councilor
loader
having
been
seconded.
The
item
is
now
open
to
full
debate.
A
Well,
there's
no
one's
got
anything
to
say:
I
think
this
is
fabulous,
we've
all
worked
with
her
and
she
does
a
great
job
and
I'm
sure
she
will
continue
to
do
so.
A
A
Yes,
so
I
think
because
everyone
seems
to
be
getting
very
fidgety,
we
will
have
a
break
until
nine
o'clock
by
that
clock
up
there,
which
is
I,
think
five
minutes
slow.
So
nine
minutes.
Thank
you
see
you
back
here.
A
A
All
right
so
we're
going
to
go
on
to
you've,
got
a
kid
and
sweet
members
questioning
time
just
to
show
I'm,
impartial,
remember's
question
time
under
Council
procedure,
rule
12..
There
are
30
minutes
for
public
question
time.
I
have
received
12
questions
under
this
item.
Questions
will
be
taken
on
rotation
as
set
out
in
the
Constitution,
so
rotation
one
is
councilor
Cowan
to
councilor
Carson
Aubry.
V
Thank
you,
chair,
okay,
so
this
is
to
council
Albury
it's
about
the
so
the
Queen's
green
canopy
initiative
is
taking
place
in
Ada
District,
but
it
seems
that,
with
the
exclusion
of
lamb
belonging
to
Ada
homes,
I
have
been
informed
that
ADA
Holmes
has
no
can
carry
out
no
planting,
as
it
requires
an
urban
Ranger
to
carry
out
public
consultation,
engagement
and
landscape
design.
F
Oh,
thank
you
Mr
chairman
I,
think
councilman
Cowan
has
probably
had
the
answer
to
this
already
I
think
when
he
had
his
meeting
with
Peppa
from
our
parks
and
four
shores,
because
the
current
arrangement
with
the
councils,
parks
and
foresurance
team
does
not
include
consultation
with
engagement
with
residents,
but
I'll
be
happy
to
tell
him
that
this
is
now
under
review
as
well.
A
AA
Chair
Council
Aubry
what
the
current
numbers
of
households
awaiting
social
housing
by
Band
the
current
number
of
void,
tenancies,
what
new
housing
stock
has
been
agreed
and
when
will
this
be
available?.
F
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman,
it's
it's
available
to
any
counselor
anytime.
They
want.
All
they
have
to
do
is
call
the
head
of
Housing
and
he
will
tell
them
how
many
vacancies
where
they
are
the
whole
lot.
Okay,
the
head
of
housing
will
tell
you,
but,
as
you've
asked,
we
currently
have
824
residents
on
the
housing
register,
but
you
may
like
to
note
that
six
years
ago
we
had
1
400
on
the
housing
register,
but
the
number
is
we
got
it
down.
F
It
went
down
about
740,
but
it's
gradually
creeping
back
up
now
and
we
know
the
reason
why
you
did
ask
about
the
num
the
bands
Etc.
Do
you
want
me
to
go
through
it
here,
or
would
you
like
me
to
send
you
the
for
yourself?
What
shall
I
go
through
with
with
it
here
now
with
you.
F
Here:
oh
yes,
please!
Yes!
Yes,
sir!
No
problem!
Okay!
Well,
the
the
chart
goes
like
this.
You've
got
bed
sizes
that
are
needed.
The
number
from
one
to
five
the
bed
size
is
needed.
Then
we've
got
a
b
c
d
and
the
total
okay,
so
for
bed,
size
is
needed
for
one
bedroom
in
band
a
we
have
87.
F
for
four
bedrooms
band:
a
two
band:
B12
band
C,
eight
Bandy,
five,
total
of
27.
F
F
Currently,
there
are
about
a
hundred
void
properties,
most
of
which
require
significant
work
to
ensure
that
they
comply
with
a
level
standard,
while
some
are
earmarked
for
temporary
decant
of
residents
for
the
ongoing
inner
rooms
project
and
we're
finding
now
that
when
properties
become
vacant,
sometimes
we're
not
told
the
planet
just
moves
out,
and
the
neighbors
have
to
tell
us
that
the
property
is
awakened
and
we
find
these
properties
in
absolutely
deplorable
condition.
F
They're
usually
being
stripped
to
all
some
of
the
something
of
that
nature,
and
this
is
the
tenants
that
have
just
gone
out
and
not
told
us
so.
Consequently,
what
we're
doing
is
to
get
these
properties
back
up
to
standard.
It
is
taking
a
long
time
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
tenants
that
go
back
in
have
a
decent
property.
So
they've
been
put
back
in
to
a
very
decent
standard
so
that
the
tenants
going
back
in
won't
have
any
problems
at
all.
F
What
used
to
happen
was
that
the
tenants
would
move
in
and
then
Ada
would
do
the
work
while
they
were
there.
But
of
course
that's
that
that
didn't
work
at
all,
because
the
tenants
were
totally
complaining
about
having
workmen
around
all
of
the
time,
so
that
that
is
the
number
of
voids
that
we
have
and
we've
got
a
company
in
to
help
with
this,
because
it
was
too
much
work
for
our
maintenance
Crews.
F
So
we've
got
a
company
in
who
are
working
solely
on
getting
the
voids
back
up
to
date
and,
as
I
said
earlier,
the
voids
that
are
there
when
they
come
back
up
to
par.
Some
of
them
are
being
held
back
because
of
the
inner
rooms
project
as
well.
For
those
of
you
who
don't
know
the
inner
rooms
is
where
you
had
to
go
through
the
kitchen
to
get
out
of
your
bedroom
and
it's
a
fire
hazard,
and
we
have
been
told
by
central
government
that
we
have
to
do
this.
F
It's
not
a
choice
that
we
made.
There
was
central
government
saying
you
will
do
this
or
else
I
think
some
of
the
councilors
have
been
to
see
these
in
the
rooms
and
I,
don't
know
what
the
result
of
that
was,
but
I've
been
seeing
up.
A
number
of
them
and
I
was
very
impressed
with
them
myself.
F
A
Well,
you've
gone
over
your
five
minutes
to
respond.
Oh,
could
you
pun.
A
F
A

you.

The
cost
of
living
crisis,
fueled
by
high
energy
prices,
what's
the
council
doing
to
inform,
educate
and
assist
homeowners,
tenants
and
businesses
about
energy
saving
measures
which
will
be
of

and
also

These
include

and
Grant

R
Thank
you
very
much
chairman
and
thank
you
very
much.
Council
chin
for
the
question.
We've
got
a
comprehensive
range
of
support
for
residents
affected
by
the
cost
of
living
situation
accessible
from
the
front
front
page
of
our

In
addition,
we
have
produced
a
count:
cost

leaflet,
available,
digitally
which
includes
energy
and
fuel
related
signposting.
We
are
currently
working

A

was
recently
sent
out
to

includes

A
D
Thank
you,
chair
at
July's
joined
everyone's
scrutiny
committee.
A
recommendation
was
put
forward
regards
Southern
water
and
lobbying
them
to
investigate
more
feasible,
houseboat
connection
fees
as
in
a
more
reasonably
priced.
How
has
this
progressed?
Please
I
think
foreign.
K
K
Those
houseboat
owners
to
I
would
say
do
the
right
thing
and
next
they
did
have
the
opportunity
some
years
ago,
if
you
remember
to
get
connected,
when
the
tidal
walls
went
in
at
a
vastly
reduced
rate
as
I
understand
it,
that
would
be
offered
to
you
or
I
to
in
the
same
situation.
So
I
hope
this
time
that
that
a
solution
is
found
for
us
all.
D
You
thank
you.
How
this
will
progress,
I,
think
I,
guess
the
question
is:
it
was
more
about
the
feasibility
for
the
original
cost
they
were
asking
for
because
they
were
asking
for.
Was
it
8
20K,
you
know
per
property,
you
know
per
per
houseboat,
so
I
think
it
wasn't
always
about
doing
the
right
thing.
It
was
just
about
that
cost
limitation.
So
if
it
was
interesting
to
know
if
they
can
they've
come
up
with
any
new
cost
analysis
around
that.
Thank
you.
K
I
guess
I
would
say:
Southern
water
would
probably
need
to
answer
that
as
I'm
guessing
it's
then
you
know
working
with
the
home
houseboat
owners
to
find
a
solution
that
number
one
they
can
afford.
But
you
know
Southern
water
and
not
a
charity
and
I'm
sure
they
will
need
to
recoup
the
costs
that
it's
going
to
cost
them.
So
yeah.
A
Thank
you,
councilor
Evans.
We
have
councilor
Shin
to
ask
councilor
Evans
a
question
now.
AA
Council
Evans
you're
responsible
for
highways
liaison.
AA
AA
K
K
Councilor
Forum
in
particular,
is
doing
everything
he
can
to
kick
them
to
into
a
little
bit
more
proactive
action,
I
guess
from
a
personal
perspective,
I
would
like
to
see
the
town
safe
at
all
users,
whether
they're
on
foot
Cycles,
you
know
I
think
encouraging.
Active
travel
is
incredibly
important.
I'm
not
100,
sold
on
cycle
Lane
idea.
I
think
we
need
to
get
those
hgvs
off
the
off
Ultra
and
Roads
off
the
High
Street.
K
AA
Yeah
I'm
pleased
to
hear
I'm
gonna
agree
with
all
your
other
points
about
other
areas
of
pressure
and
concern,
but
I
go
back
to
the
point.
This
is
a
lead
part
of
our
Ada
District,
Council,
cycling
and
walking
policy.
A
primary
route,
in
addition
to
being
an
ADA
District,
councilor
you're,
a
West
Sussex
County
Council.
AA
Relating
to
our
duties
as
well,
will
you
need
a
district
councilor?
Will
you
meet
as
an
ADA
District
Council
with
other
Ada
district
councilors
from
the
Shoreham
area,
whose
Wards
include
upper
Shoreham
Road
with
relevant
officers
and
political
people
who
hold
political
responsibility
for
decision
making
at
West
Sussex
and
discuss
how
this
Aid
a
policy
can
be
pursued
with
more
vigor.
K
K
Group
example,
you
know,
because
you
have
to
listen
to
both
sides
of
the
argument.
Don't
we
so
yeah
I'm
sure
you
could
be
included
as
well
in
those
meetings.
Thank.
X
Thank
you,
since
the
1st
of
October
2022
landlords
are
required
by
law
to
have
installed
carbon
monoxide
detectors
in
properties
which
have
fixed
combustion
appliances.
X
If
a
new
contract
hasn't
been
drawn
up,
there'll
be
considerable
delay
before
works
even
start.
How?
How
are
you
able
to
ensure
the
safety
of
the
residents
in
these
in
these
homes?.
X
And
and
sorry
that
wasn't
that
that's
part
of
my
question,
but
it
wasn't
printed
here
and
I,
also
would
like
some
idea
of
the
time
scale
of
how
long
it
will
take
once
we
find
a
contractor.
F
Thank
you
very
much.
I
I
was
this
afternoon
I'm
on
the
phone
for
quite
some
time
with
the
head
of
housing
regarding
this
matter
and
you're
quite
right
that
there
will
be
delay
until
a
contract
is
actually
appointed
and
I
have
been
assured
by
the
head
of
Housing
and
I.
Accept
that
all
tenants
without
electric
carbon.
F
I'm
going
to
read
this
so
I
get
it
right.
Monoxide
detector
will
be
provided
with
a
battery
operated
one
initially,
and
that
will
start.
F
He
said
shortly.
I
I
pushed
him
for
a
better
one,
but
that
was
all
he
would
admit
to
at
the
time
and
I
I
would
like
to
I
myself.
Have
a
battery
operated
one
and
I
think
they're
very
effective
and
I
think
it's
important
with
our
fire
issues
that
we
have
and
all
that's
been
expected
of
us
that
these
will
be
done
very
very
shortly.
A
Council
Aubry:
can
you
turn
off
your
microphone?
Sorry.
X
I
was
I
would
like
to
ask
two
about
the
people
who
are
going
to
struggle
to
keep
these
battery
battery-powered
detectors.
Is
that
going
to
be
a
problem
for
people
who
are
perhaps
elderly
disabled
have
other
things
that
are
going
to
make
life
difficult
anyway
and
will
perhaps
make
the
maintenance
of
these
difficult
and
also
what
about
the
voids?
Will
the
voids
have
to
wait?
Will
that
be
another
thing
that
will
happen
with
the
boys
that
are
being
maintained
being
upgraded?
Will
they
then
have
to
have
the
will?
X
F
F
A
Thank
you,
councilor
Aubry.
Now
we
have
councilor
crisp
with
a
question
for
counselor
Nicklaus.
T
Thank
you
chair
in
the
the
this
question
is
really
about
the
local
plan,
which
you've
already
heard
about
a
bit
today
in
section
4.92
of
the
local
plan
as
written
in
2017.
It
states
that
a
green
infrastructure
SPD,
which
is
a
supplementary
planning
document,
will
be
produced
in
order
to
provide
a
holistic
approach
to
the
provision
of
green
infrastructure
and
maximize
the
many
benefits
that
green
infrastructure
brings.
T
We're
unable
to
find
any
evidence
of
this
document.
Children
and
I
have
both
looked.
It
is
necessary
for
this
to
be
produced
before
finalizing
the
2022
or
possibly,
as
we
know
here,
2023
revision
of
the
Alp.
Can
you
give
us
an
implication?
Please
councilor
Nicholas
of
the
stage
at
the
green
infrastructure
policy
has
reached
and
when
it
will
be
presented
to
this
Council
and
the
public.
Thank
you.
P
Thank
you
Council
crisp,
and
that
was
a
cracking
pronunciation
of
the
surname.
Thank
you.
P
So,
okay
I'm
afraid
I
I,
Can't,
Tell,
You
Why,
one
hasn't
already
been
produced,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
we
are
still
intending
to
produce
the
green
infrastructure.
Spd
and
work
on
a
strategy
covering
Adrian
Worthing
was
started.
Mapping
of
our
green
spaces
has
been
undertaken,
I
think
reference
was
made
to
that
by
cancer
Evans.
P
In
response
to
a
question
to
remember
the
public
earlier
and
and
again
it's
a
little
bit
more
repetition
here
because,
as
you
already
mentioned,
we're
talking
about
the
vision
of
the
local
plan,
but
this
work
will
now
pick
up
pace
following
the
adoption
of
the
new
local
plan
for
Worthing,
which
also
commits
to
Preparing
such
a
strategy.
P
As
you'll
be
aware,
the
new
local
plan
working
group
has
now
been
set
up,
so
we
have
our
eight
members
that
will
be
adjoining
that
group
and
as
I
say,
we
I
expect
really
the
first
meeting
of
that
to
be
within
the
next
10
to
14
days.
I
hope
it
went
much
longer
than
that,
so
I
mean
and
one
of
its
I
think
one
of
its
early
tasks
will
be
reviewing
outstanding
studies
like
this.
P
As
part
of
the
review
of
the
local
local
plan,
whilst
the
strategy
still
needs
to
be
pulled
together,
various
strands
of
work
have
been
undertaken
across
the
district,
including
nature,
restoration
products
on
our
parks
and
Gardens
and,
of
course,
some
fantastic
work.
Progressing
on
the
two
large
sites
purchased
at
pad
farm
and
new
salts
farm
and
I.
A
Thank
you.
Oh
just
got
time
we're
on
rotation,
five,
it's
councilor
stainforth
for
councilor
Albury,.
W
Councilor
Aubry
councilors
are
all
Keen
that
the
council
reduced
the
number
of
empty
Council
homes.
You've
mentioned.
We
have
a
hundred
and
improve
the
void.
Turnaround.
Time,
pardon
sorry.
W
They
have
asked
and
have
repeatedly
been
promised
in
various
meetings,
a
regular
report
on
empty
properties.
Indeed,
as
you
know,
avoids
officer
centers
a
report
in
May
saying
here's
your
weekly
report
and
we
got
the
one
we've.
Can
the
executive
member
now
undertake
to
put
that
in
action
before
the
month
is
out.
F
F
The
again
today,
I
was
on
the
phone
for
some
time
with
the
head
of
Housing
and
the
the
answer
that
I've
got
to
my
question
to
him
was
housing
currently
has
some
challenges
with
its
I.T
system.
They
are
working
hard
to
ensure
they
will
provide
monthly
reports,
especially
to
the
jlsc
group
working
group.
W
W
I
think
the
the
last
conversation
we
had
in
a
meeting
where,
where
the
head
of
housing
promised
the
report
we
negotiated
and
I
suggested
that
we
have
it
monthly
and
not
weekly
I
think
that's
perfectly.
Reasonable
offices
must
have
this
data
to
work
from
to
be
able
to
do
the
work
effectively.
So
this
data
must
exist
and
we
don't
care
what
form
it
comes
in.
We
just
want
the
data
on
a
regular
basis
on
a
month,
ideally
a
monthly
basis.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
This
probably
will
be
the
last
question
which
is
councilor
crisp.
T
AB
Two
seconds
left
so,
given
that
many
Aida
homes
tenants,
are
struggling
to
pay
their
energy
bills
and
with
the
government's
Energy
bill
support
scheme
now
in
tatters,
water
remedial
work.
Is
the
council
undertaking
to
improve
insulation
in
properties
particularly
prone
to
heat
loss
so
I'm
my
supplementary
was
going
to
be.
We
know
where
we
know
the
kind
of
properties
we've
we've
had
building
we've
had
building
surveys.
AB
We
know
that
there
are
many
of
our
properties
that
have
drafty
and
leaky
Windows
ill-fitting
Doors
holes
in
walls
on.
Obviously
this
is
a.
This
is
a
big
concern
not
just
for
us,
but
obviously
for
that
for
them
to
try
and
make
sure
that
they
stay
warm
this
winter.
So
my
second
question
my
supplementary
question
is:
can
you
please
ask
if
those
properties
that
we
know
about
that?
Have
these
problems?
Can
they
please
be
prioritized
as
a
matter
of
urgency?
Thank
you.
A
Cancer
Aubry:
can
you
refrain
from
defending
a
Majesty's
government
and
simply
answer
the
question
about
insulation?
Thank
you.
F
Mr
chairman
you've
taken
the
bait
out
of
me
all
right
with
regard
to
the
properties
and
I
I,
say
again:
Adis
properties
are
very
old,
they
have
problems
with
their
Windows,
they
have
problems
with
their
doors
and
some
of
them
have
problems
with
the
double
skinned
walls
as
well.
We
all
know
this
and
what
I'll
say
on
this
I
I
shall
not
be
too
detailed
on
it.
But
I'll
just
say
this:
the
council
is
working
to
ensure
its
homes
are
energy
efficient.
F
Once
we
get
these
energy
performance
certificates,
we
can
apply
to
central
government
for
funds
to
stop
or
help
with
the
problems
that
we've
got
and
that
that
is
one
of
the
main
things
that
is
going
on
at
the
moment,
but
we
have
done
a
lot
already
with
regard
to
Chadwell
court,
for
instance,
we've
just
put
in
new
ground
Source
heat
pumps
there
for
them,
and
all
of
the
the
flats
have
been
have
new
new
devices
for
heating.
F
The
capital
investment
plan
in
our
stock
for
next
financial
year
includes
roofs,
windows
and
door
projects
which
will
improve
Energy,
Efficiency
and
heat
loss,
but
I
think
getting
these
EPC
certificates
and
getting
extra
funding
is
the
key
to
the
whole
matter.
Thank
you.
AB
AB
A
You
we
have
run
out
of
time
and
there's
only
one
more
question:
I'll
look
at
the
leader
to
see
if
he
wants
to
go
ahead.
Nope
all
right!
We're
now
sorry
about
that.
We
will
now
move
on
to
I've,
got
things
in
the
wrong
order
on
my
sheet
just
to
make
life
difficult.
A
Here
we
go
so
we're
now
on
item
11.
emotional
notice

been
submitted
