B
C
C
Can
I
ask
everyone
to
please
meet
your
microphones
at
all
times
unless
and
fail
to
speak
by
myself
for
those
of
you
who
are
physically
in
the
council
chamber
here
tonight.
Can
I
please
remind
you
that,
when
speaking
into
your
microphone,
you
need
to
wait
until
you
see
yourself
on
the
screen,
so
the
live
date
can
pick
up
your
comments.
C
C
Don't
they
don't
see
any
other
okay?
Moving
on,
I
said
janna
item
two
is
determinations
of
interest
and
we'll
take
those
as
the
meeting
progresses.
Okay,.
C
Okay,
members
now
we're
under
again
a
gen
item
number
three
and
a
presentation
from
council
of
trade
unions,
community
wealth
building
and
present
during
the
presentation
with
mr
julie
hart
before
dirty
comes
on.
I
don't
know
why
and
he
has
no
daily
heart,
but
julie
is
a
good
friend
of
mine
and
has
been
over
50
years,
and
I
think
maybe
liam
knows
when
we
are
anywhere,
but
just
don't
be
alarmed
if
julie
maybe
refers
to
me
a
snare.
So
it
was
really
christened
me
that
name
over
50
years
ago.
C
So
he's
allowed
to
answer
so.
D
D
C
Julie,
are
you
happy
enough
to
move
on
until
you
have
30
minutes
presentation
allow
maybe
15
20
minutes
for
questions.
E
Okay,
if
I
can
just
share
my
screen
here.
E
E
All
as
counselor
mike
lindelof
said
my
name's
julie,
hard,
I'm
the
secretary
of
the
craig
album
council
of
trade
unions,
I'm
here
to
talk
to
you
tonight
about
a
community
wealth
building,
and
I
I
will
thank
the
council
for
the
opportunity
to
do
so.
E
I
just
want
to
provide
some
information
regarding
community
wealth
building
its
history,
what
it
means
and,
importantly,
for
us
what
the
council
can
do
in
relation
to
this
area
simply
put
for
council
community
wealth
building
is
defined
as
a
community
wealth
business
is
defining
policy
and
practical
solutions
to
achieving
an
inclusive
economy.
E
So
we've
been
on
the
history
of
community
wealth
building
right
currently
here
it
started
in
cleveland
ohio
when
a
number
of
local
institutions
and
community
activists
came
together
with
the
aim
of
creating
an
alternative
to
the
prevail
and
trickle-down
model
of
economic
development
to
reverse
years
of
increasing
poverty,
inequality
and
the
flight
of
capital
out
of
their
area.
E
When
businesses
closed
or
moved
in
new
locations,
their
focus
was
on
what
was
called
large
anchor
public
and
not-for-profit
institutions
that
hailed
considerable
financial
power
to
persuade
them
to
localize
procurement
spending
and
support
of
greener
local
community
and
worker
owned
businesses.
These
collectively
became
known
as
evergreen
cooperatives.
E
The
council
was
also
able
to
secure
local
pension
fund
investment
of
200
million
pound
in
the
lancashire
area
and
have
laid
the
groundwork
for
a
local
community
bank,
and
this
was
then
taken
on
through
a
world
newm
islington.
But
I
I
want
to
just
maybe
touch
briefly
on
the
issue
around
north
earth
or
council
and
would
encourage
a
council
to
look
at
a
lot
of
the
information
that
north
eastern
council
have
produced
in
this
area.
E
They
currently
have
a
community
well-built
astrology
growing
from
2020
to
2025,
and
it
sets
out
a
detailed
action
plan
on
how
it
intends
to
use
the
economic
beavers
available
to
deliver
resilient,
inclusive
local
economies
with
more
local
employment
on
a
larger
and
more
diverse
business
base,
ensuring
that
wealth
is
locally
owned
and
benefits
local
people.
E
There's
five
basic
principles
that
have
been
set
out
here:
the
first
plural
ownership
of
the
economy.
This
looks
at
promoting
community
and
work
our
own
businesses,
rather
than
just
focusing
on
foreign
direct
investment
or
larger
companies
who
have
a
potential
flight
risk.
E
That
doesn't
mean
that
we
don't
look
at
foreign
direct
investment
or
larger
companies,
but
it
means
focusing
on
on
on
promoting
community
and
worker
owned
businesses
and
in
northern
ireland
there
are
around
8
000
large
businesses
defined
as
businesses
with
more
than
250
employees,
and
while
this
only
accounts
for
around
about
one
percent
of
the
businesses,
it's
39
of
the
employment
and
48
percent
of
the
turnover.
E
And
it's
about
trying
to
look
at
that
money
and
and
to
take
some
of
that
into
local
ownership.
Number
two
is
making
financial
power
work
for
for
local
places.
This
this
looks
a
big
financial
probe
work,
increasing
the
flow
of
investment
within
local
economies
by
harnessing
and
recirculating
the
wealth
that
already
exists,
as
opposed
to
continuously
seeking
to
attract
capital
that
everyone
else
is
after.
This
will
include
promotion
and
support
for
for
mutuals,
credit
unions
and
community
banks
for
employment
and
just
labor
markets.
E
Anger
institutions
have
a
defining
effect
on
the
prospects
of
local
people
and
influence
the
promotion
of
good
practice
on
employers,
paying
the
living
wage
and
building
progression
routes
to
employment
will
improve
local
economies
and
central
government
obviously
have
a
role
in
this.
The
councils
can
also
look
at
issues
around
inward
poverty.
Zero.
Our
contracts,
as
well
as
recruitment
from
hard
to
reach
groups
and
invest
in
in
those
areas
for
the
local
workforce.
E
E
These
could
include
local
smes
and
employee-owned
businesses,
social
enterprises,
cooperatives
and
community
businesses,
and
number
five,
socially
productive
use
of
land
and
property
to
deepen
the
function
and
ownership
of
local
assets
held
by
anchor
institutions,
so
that
financial
and
social
gain
is
harnessed
by
and
for
citizens,
including
extent
community
use
of
public
public
sector
land
facilities.
When
that
clearly
benefits
the
local
communities.
E
So
some
will
transit
out
some
examples
here
in
relation
to
community
wealth
building
within
northern
ireland.
There
are
some
organizations
who
are
heavily
involved
in
this
process.
I've
listed
a
few
down
here
very
quickly.
Trademark
belfast
is
a
social
justice
cooperative
established
in
2001.
E
They
dedicated
the
tagline
sectarianism
and
inequality,
but
has
developed
its
work
to
include
the
promotion
of
cooperatives
and
community
wealth
building
trademark
belfast
are
currently
working
with
the
department
for
social
development
regarding
one
of
the
department's
five-year
strategy,
objectives
to
grow
and
scale,
community
wealth,
building
to
support
economic
recovery
and
the
center
for
local
economic
strategies
and
the
development
trusts,
and
I
have
begun
to
map
out
some
of
the
shifts
in
thinking
and
policy
needed
to
advance
a
community
wealth-built
agenda
and
have
produced
a
number
of
strategy
papers
on
this
issue
and
the
democracy
collaborative
set
up
in
cleveland
set
up
the
cleveland
model
in
the
u.s
and
works
with
organizations
in
northern
ireland
to
promote
community
wealth
building,
and
certainly
there
are
there's
examples
of
organizations
that
the
council
could
look
into
in
more
detail
and
would
assist
it's
thinking
in
with
regards
a
book.
E
Yes,
sorry,
so
my
focus
today
why
why
community
wealth
building
is
is
very
wide-ranging.
My
focus
today
is
on
procurement.
E
The
first
thing
I
would
acknowledge
and
release
to
some
of
the
things
I've
said
earlier
is
that
there
are
financial
limitations
on
northern
ireland
councils,
while
the
councils
in
the
north
are
responsible
for
four
percent
of
public
spend
councils
of
similar
says
in
scotland,
on
wales
account
for
27
of
the
spend
in
their
areas,
while
the
eu
average
for
councils
is
around
about
23
in
the
south,
it's
slightly
higher
than
what
it
is
in
northern
ireland
at
8
percent,
but
we
absolutely
acknowledge
that
there
are
limitations
on
council.
E
However,
that
doesn't
mean
that
council
doesn't
have
some
capacity.
I
want
to
give
some
examples:
just
of
of
of
of
community
wealth,
building
er
er
initiatives
that
have
already
begun
the
first
one.
There
is
in
the
minister
for
finance,
set
up
a
new
procurement
board
with
representatives
from
employer
groups
and
from
the
irs
congress
of
trade
unions.
Following
er
the
board's
recommendation,
the
non-iron
executive
will
introduce
june
2022
new
mandatory
scoring
for
for
social
value
within
public
procurement
contracts.
E
The
northern
iron
housing
executive
has
also
introduced
social
values
into
its
procurement
process,
and
this
commits
the
executive
to
the
promotion
of
social
inclusion
and
equal
opportunity
as
part
of
its
tender
process,
and
they
have
also
they
also
have
conditions
of
contract
such
as
apprenticeships
and
community
enterprise
engagement
within
its
its
tenders.
And
I
I
also
know
that
that
the
I
mean
the
council,
as
part
of
the
the
leisure
center
was
being
built.
The
issue
around
apprenticeship
stores,
part
of
that.
E
So
I
I
do
know
that
council
has
already
taken
initiatives
in
some
of
these
areas,
and
the
housing
executive
has
also
introduced
three
kpis
to
ensure
that
it
both
manages
and
measures
its
social
value
obligations.
So
it's
actively
involved
in
this
process.
It's
not
just
written
down
as
an
objective
and
then
forgot
about
it
actively
engages
manages
and
measures
these
objectives
to
make
sure
that
that's
what's
happening
and,
as
I've
stated
already,
the
department
for
communities
has
said
one
of
the
strategy
objectives
in
his
business
plan
to
grow
community
wealth
building.
E
I
was
engaged
trademark
belfast
to
assist
this
objective,
and
so
what
can
council
do
a?
I
mean?
Firstly,
and
I
want
to
be
clear-
community
wealth
building
is
not
a
rush
to
in-source
services
provided
by
council
that
are
currently
provided
the
council
great
favorite
companies.
Nor
is
it
a
call
for
the
privatization
of
services
that
are
currently
provided
by
council
and
forgotten.
E
A
council
of
trade
unions
believes
that
in-sourcing
is
something
the
council
should
actively
consider
for
all
its
services
and
the
north
ayrshire
council
has
included
in
sourcing
as
part
of
its
community
well-built
and
strategy,
but
that
that
is
really
a
different
argument
for
a
different
need,
and
my
focus
tonight,
as
I
say,
is
all
procurement
and
ensuring
that
rate
payers
get
the
best
value
for
their
rates
and,
while
central
government
said
high-level
procurement
policy
for
councils,
there
is
still
a
lot
of
councils
to
do,
and
we've
said
these
are
just
some
examples
of
what
of
what
day
of
what
council
could
look
at?
E
Introduce
a
community
wealth
building
program
have
community
wealth
building
as
an
objective
for
council,
both
at
a
high
level
and
within
its
policies
and
review.
The
current
council
procurement
policy
select
local
employers
who
have
good
employment
practices
rather
than
just
the
cheapest
employer
who
bids
on
the
standard.
This
will
invest
in
local
employees
and
therefore
will
create
jobs
for
er,
for
repairs
a
commit
that
all
tenders
include
a
condition
that
the
successful
company
will
be
required
to
pay.
E
At
least
the
living
wage
rate
include
minimum
numbers
of
percentage
of
workers
from
the
council
area
to
be
employed
directly
or
indirectly,
as
part
of
the
tender
process
as
part
of
the
implementation
of
the
tender.
Successful
include
additional
score
and
recognition
of
employers
who
employ
staff
from
underrepresented
groups
are
hard
to
reach
groups
such
as
young
people,
people
from
ethnic
backgrounds.
Disabled
acts,
offenders
apprentices.
E
You
know
there
are
a
wide
range
of
different
groups,
sir,
so
we
would
absolutely
urge
the
council
to
take
the
opportunity
to
begin
to
use
your
financial
power
to
invest
locally,
give
ratepayers
value
for
money
and
that
that
the
the
cheapest
option
is
not
always
the
best
option
and
under
to
build
a
procurement
policy
that
supports
local
workers
and
moves
council
towards
a
community
well-built
agenda.
C
Okay,
julie,
thanks
very
much
for
that
and
yes
excellent
presentation
and,
as
you
did
say,
I
know
in
the
past,
within
the
sllc
foreign
contract
clause,
that
was
the
local
business
head
of
it
and
also
where
this
look
we're
going
up
on
the
floor
and
the
the
first
stop
is
a
councilor
kyle,
savage.
G
Thank
you,
chair,
or
should
I
say
smailer,
maybe,
is
better
way
to
call
you
tonight,
but
thank
you
chair
for
that
and
dooley
thanks
very
much
for
your
report
here
tonight
and
suppose.
First
off
you
know,
I
was
asking
you
about
the
workable
program
you
know.
Like
you,
sell
know
what
support
has
been
given
what
this
council
doing
that.
So
that's
a
question.
We
probably
have
to
ask
internally,
you
know
what
are
we
doing?
G
I
you're
back
on
the
procurement
there
back
in
june
2020
we
had
passed.
I
brought
it
forward
and
with
the
support
of
all
the
councillors
that
were
possible,
council
would
source
local.
So
what's
you
know
and
the
difficulty
in
iran
dot
has
been
the
procurement
escapade,
but
now
that
is
starting
to
change
in
stormwind.
So
that's
good
news
for
us
but,
like,
I
suppose,
not
but
we're
ahead
of
you.
G
E
No
look,
I
I,
I
think,
absolutely
look.
We're
aware
that
work
has
been
ongoing
within
the
council
and
you
know,
as
I've
said,
my
focus
tonight
is
is
initially
on
procurement
here,
but
there
is
substantially
more
within
this.
This
suite
of
different
things.
The
different
principles
within
community
welcome.
The
council
could
look
at
this,
for
us
is
the
easiest
place
to
start.
It's
not
easy.
E
E
I
am,
and
I
I
think
for
us
it's
about
making
sure
that
the
tender
process
has
the
conditions
written
into
it
and
it's
it
while
at
the
minute
there's
a
lot
of
language
around
promoting
this
or
supporting
that
it
really
needs
to
be
more
than
that.
It
needs
to
be
written
into
the
contract
where
employers
see
a
benefit
of
saying
well,
actually,
if
they
do
yeah
and
a
do
b,
I
will
be
rewarded
for
that.
So
we're
we
are
rewarding
good
employers.
Good
employers
provide
good
jobs,
but
they
also
provide
good
work.
E
So
the
council
benefits
from
the
quality
of
work
and
the
the
employees
local
employees
benefit
by
having
good
employers
that
will
look
after
them
and
and
pay
them
preferred
weeds
for
that
work,
and-
and
that's
what
the
focus
is
for
us,
and
we
have
seen
and
I'm
not
saying
within
this
council,
we
have
I've
seen
in
other
areas
where
actually
the
cheapest
is
always
the
one
picked,
regardless
of
what
actually
the
quality
of
the
services
or
or
or
people
are
being
shipped
across
country,
and
in
order
to
do
the
work
and
then
ship
back
out
again,
so
local
businesses
don't
get
any
benefit
of
that
as
well.
C
Thanks
julie,
happy
enough
councillor
k,
savage
members
with
three
more
speakers
with
councillor
mackel
councillor,
holland
on
councillor,
nicholson,
we'll
take
those
three
all
after
one
another
and
then
they'll
come
back
and
again
michael.
Please.
H
Yes,
thanks
judy
for
the
presentation,
there's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
good,
sensible
stuff
around
community
wealth
building
and,
as
kell
said,
some
of
the
stuff
around
procurement
councils
already
engaged
with,
I
was
wondering,
have
you
had
any
engagement
with
some
of
the
big
local
employers
likes
of
our
mac,
and
things
like
that?
You
know:
is
there
any
buy-in
or
some
of
these
principals
and
some
of
the
big
employers
in
the
area.
E
F
Holland
yeah
and
thank
you,
sir
and
judy,
thank
you
for
your
your
presentation.
I
I
understand
where
councillor
and
mackerel
is
coming
from
in
terms
of
asking.
You
know
what
engagement
you've
had
from
a
from
larger
employers
in
the
in
the
borough,
but
my
issue
is:
what
can
we
do
as
a
council
to
ensure
that
we
make
as
many
of
your
asks
as
possible
and
in
particular
the
issue
around
the
minimum
living
wage?
F
You
know
there's
going
to
be
issues
such
as
that
that
we
can
write
into
contracts,
okay,
trying
to
say
to
someone
hey,
you
have
to
be
within
so
many
males
of,
or
you
have
to
be
a
repair
or
something
like
that.
It's
probably
going
to
be
a
lot
more
difficult,
but
to
put
quality
over
cost
is
to
me
is
one
thing
we
should
be
pushing
for,
but
also
then
that
we
would
be
writing
into
any
of
our
procurement
exercises.
F
The
issue
around
that
a
living
wage
is
a
must
and,
to
be
honest,
I
wouldn't
want
to
be
associated
with
any
employer,
doing
work
for
council
that
wasn't
paying
their
staff
properly.
So
maybe,
if
a
daily
wise
them
asking
for
your
comment
on
it,
maybe
if
some
of
the
officers
can
come
back
to
us
at
a
point
around
how
we
can
write
some
of
these
asks
into
our
procurement
exercises.
F
C
E
Yes,
just
on
on
the
on
the
question
around
local
local
employers,
we
haven't
done
that
engagement
first,
because
our
our
starting
point
is
with
council
in
the
first
instance,
and
it's
on
the
basis
of
if
it's
about
us
using
the
council's
example
as
a
good
employer
to
go
to
local
businesses
and
say
especially
those
local
businesses
that
engage
with
council
to
say,
look,
there
is
a
benefit
for
you
in
in
in
looking
at
you
know
the
terms
and
conditions
you
have
the
the
jobs
you
offer,
the
weeds
you
pay
that
will
be
rewarded.
E
The
problem
with
some
procurement
processes
is
that
the
good
employer,
the
you
know,
the
issues
around
the
the
the
rate
of
pay,
the
terms
and
conditions
how
how
good
the
employer
is.
That
makes
no
difference
as
part
of
the
procurement
process
and
and
and
good
employers,
don't
always
get
the
benefit
and
therefore
bottom
floors
can
undercut
and
if
you're,
just
looking
at
this
solely
as
a
as
a
financial
exercise,
then
you're
going
to
pick
the
bottom
employer.
The
bottom
floor
generally
means
that
the
employees
aren't
content.
You
know,
there's
no
retention
of
jobs.
E
So
it's
not
just
it's
not
just
a
matter
of
trying
to
follow
money
through
the
people
who
don't
deserve
it
there's
a
whole
package
there
that
can
be
looked
at,
but
our
starting
point
is
with
is
with
the
and
what
has
been
the
example
and
in
those
that
I
have
listed
there,
and
it
has
been
the
look
at
large
public
sector
angst
and
anchor
institutions
in
the
first
instance
and
then
going
out
to
engage
with
the
with
with
private
companies
after
that,
just
in
relation
to
christopher
collins.
E
I
think
one
of
the
things
council
can
do.
I
mean
when
I
talk
about
council
development,
media
wealth
building
program
that
includes
research
analysis,
seeing
where
there's
good
practice
again.
I
would
encourage
you
to
go
and
look
at
the
stuff
that
north
airship
council
has
done.
E
I'm
pressing,
but
I
I
from
a
personal
perspective,
I
was
very
impressed
with
with
the
stuff
that
north
ayrshire
council
has
done
in
relation
to
its
community
wealth,
building
very
rural
area
as
well,
of
course,
a
lot
of
rural
areas
in
scotland,
and
so
you
know
it,
but
it's
about
setting
the
program
up.
E
Of
course
you
can
change
your
your
procurement
to
include
a
sentence
or
our
qualification.
In
fact,
that's
what
the
minister
of
finance
has
committed
the
executive
to
do
as
part
of
the
civil
services,
public
contract
or
public
procurement
process
and
that's
starting
in
june.
The
reason
that
was
started
it
was
was
kicked
back
to
june
was
was
to
give
private
sector
employers
an
opportunity
to
get
to
understand
the
process,
have
an
under
understanding
of
what
was
required
of
them
as
part
of
the
procurement
process
going
forward.
E
So
again,
I'm
not
suggesting
counsel,
you
know,
even
if
there
are
very
good
ideas
or
they
don't
necessarily
need
to
be
done
tomorrow.
I
think
if
council
has
a
program,
has
that
that
the
you
know,
council
takes
an
opportunity
to
do
a
bit
of
research
to
do
some
analysis
around.
What's
there
what
what
is
to
the
benefit
of
this
area
and
what
isn't
and
make
some
decisions
around
that,
then
you
can
move
forward
on
a
stronger
platform.
F
F
Can
I
propose
that
working
with
dooley
and
the
the
local
trade
union
council
that
we
approach
that
council
and
ask
for
a
presentation
or
some
sort
of
feedback
on
how
it
has
worked,
not
just
in
terms
of
the
council
of
procurement
but
as
the
real
thing
about
community
benefit,
and
I
I
propose
that
we
engage
through
daily
or
a
to
the
other
councils
and
get
that
and
get
a
presentation
or
some
sort
of
feedback
and
see
how
it
goes
and
because
it
said,
there's
no
point
in
reinventing
the
wing.
F
C
Thank
you,
council
rohan.
Thank
you
councilman
with
two
more
speakers,
we'll
have
clinton
nicholson
and
then
I'll
take
counselor
pope.
Thank
you.
I
Yeah
thanks
chart
and
and
thanks
to
your
presentation-
and
I
have
to
be
honest-
I
actually
wasn't
sure
what
this
presentation
was
going
to
be
about,
but
look
as
as
you're
in
it
and
I'm
going
through
it.
I
I
have
to
say
I
I
I
fully
understand
where
you're,
where
you're
coming
from
and
and
I
do
understand
why
you've
come
knocking
at
our
door,
because
I've
always
been
a
believer
that
countries
should
be
leaders,
not
followers,
and
we
should
be
setting
the
example
out
there
and
and
and-
and
I
commend
you
for
for
coming
forward
with
this
now.
I
I
suppose
and
I've
been
writing
a
few
notes,
as
as,
as
you
were
speaking
there
and-
and
I
I
have
to
say,
you
know,
I'm
involved
with
a
lot
of
this
type
of
procurement
in
in
my
professional
capacity,
and
I
have
to
say
a
lot
of
this
stuff
is
already
being
done.
So
it's
like
thomas
has
said
we're
not
reinventing
the
wheel
and
I
do
think
it
would
be
useful
to
reach
out
to
the
north
ishara
council
to
sort
of
see
you
know
what
is
best
practice.
I
You
know
because
I
do
believe
that
when,
when
I
think
country
savage
is
already
mentioned
last
june,
there
was
a
notice
of
motion
he
brought
forward,
which
I
seconded,
which
was
really
this.
Would
this
is
what
this
was
about.
It
was
about
recognizing
our
local,
you
know
people
and
on
trying
to
and
build
our
economy
locally,
as
well
as
reaching
out
be
beyond
and
and-
and
you
know,
sort
of,
I
suppose-
building
a
self-worth
out
there
with
it
within
our
communities
which
which
absolutely
I
don't
think
anybody's
going
to
going
to
disagree
with
that.
I
My
question
really
is,
obviously
I
don't
want
to
be
controversial,
but
obviously
we've
left
europe
at
this
stage
and
and
obviously
procurement
was
very
much
driven
by
eu
legislation
which,
which
I
know
in
in
in
my
professional
capacity
it
it
it.
I
It
did
sort
of
mean
that
you
had
to
open
the
the
net
so
to
speak
to
a
wider
range
of
supply
supply
chain,
whereas
this
here
would
be
more
sort
of
a
supply
chain
locally,
which
and
and-
and
I
can
see
you
know,
no-
you
were
building
social,
economic
and
environmental
values
within
within
procurement,
but
did
still
you
see
opportunities
now
you
know,
because
that
red
tape
is,
as
I
see
at
the
minute,
it's
potentially
gone,
and
that
maybe
that
there's
an
opportunity
for
us
that
maybe
wasn't
here
before
chair.
I
You
know
when,
when
when
we
were
in
in
in
europe
and
and
so
eventually
here
what
he,
what
what
he,
what
he
he
thinks
about
like
that
and
he's
done,
any
sort
of
research
on
that
was
the
new
eu
procurement
was
was
quite
a
rigorous
difficult.
You
know
piece
of
legislation
to
work
way
through
each
other,
but
thanks
julie
for
your
presentation
and
as
I
say
it's,
it's
very
very
welcome.
Thank
you.
E
Yeah
very
quickly,
look
how
happy
to,
I
think
look
I
mean,
as
I
give
you
in
the
example.
The
community
wealth
building
really
started
in
the
u.s,
and
it's
not
just
I've
given
some
examples
within
the
uk,
but
it
is,
you
know
it
has
been
introduced
in
other
areas
in
in
america
as
well,
and
the
I
think,
maybe
the
the
I
was
going
to
say
biggest
difficulty.
But
that's
that's.
That's
not
right.
I
think
the
the
one
thing,
rather
than
maybe
whether
it
would
be
westminster
eu
the
impacts
of
brexit.
E
I
I
think
that's
less,
of
an
issue
for
you
than
actually
what
central
government
is,
because
central
government
will
be
keen
to
make
sure
that
is
remain
with
you
know,
within
the
track
of
what
it
sets
out
of
this
policy,
but
its
policies
very
high
level.
There
is,
and
that's
what
I
was
saying
that
you
know
there
is
a
lot
of
scope
there
for
councils
to
look
at
how
they
move
forward
with
this
process.
E
E
I
see
central
government
policy
and
the
issues
around
you
know
the
the
both
the
assembly's
role
and
and
support
and
councils
and
the
likes
of
the
the
central
procurement
director
and
stuff
like
that,
probably
is
more
of
an
issue
more
of
something
that
council
will
probably
have
to
look
to
you
know,
rather
than
their
the
fallout
of
what
happens
with
the
with
leaving
the
eu
and
what
conditions
that
either
adds
or
removes
as
part
of
that
process.
But
I
I
haven't
looked
at
that
in
any
specific
answer.
I
Yeah
thanks
thanks
chair,
I
suppose
I
suppose,
where
I'm
coming
from,
do
they
have
ministers?
If
you,
if
you,
if
you
do,
is
that
you
know
I've
done
work
with
cpd
and
and
obviously
you
know
when
you
go
over
a
certain
value
you
had
advertised
in
the
eu
journal,
you
know,
and-
and
there
was
all
this
type
of
thing
so
you're
waiting
in
that
and
like
I'm
talking
about
contract,
you
know
in
relation
to
sort
of
construction
type
projects
and
and
and
whatever
so
it's
it's
it's
that
and
I
always
thought
it
was
it.
I
It
didn't
make
sense
you
could
put
in
all
the
the
clause
of
the
day.
You
know
by
social
and
and
all
these
things,
but
if
you're
bringing
a
contractor
in
from
france
or
belgium
or
germany
it
did
it
didn't
make
sense
to
me.
You
know
you
bring
them
here.
Northern
ireland
building
we've
got
perfectly
good
contractors
here,
and
it
was
all
to
do
with
this
kind
of
red
tape.
So
I've
been
interested
to
see
what
what
that
means.
You
know
in
relation
to.
Is
it
easier
or
is
it
not
so.
E
If
I
can
just
come
back
just
for
a
very
quick
picture
there-
and
I
I
I
understand
my
background-
is
in
the
public
sector
rather
than
the
private
sector,
and
therefore
I
would
probably
look
at
it,
but
I
I
absolutely
appreciate
the
point
that
you're
being
made
in
relation
to
the
larger
contracts
and
the
issues
around
how
those
are
required
to
be
advertised.
E
I
have
to
say
I
know
that
the
sort
of
bad
social
arrangement
has
been
for
central
government's,
been
looked
after
by
the
strategic
investment
board
and-
and
I
have
to
say
I
haven't
been
overly
impressed.
I've
been
involved
in
issues
around
contracts
within
the
public
sector
and
I
I
just
don't
think
that's
robust
enough
for
that
day,
social
process.
E
I
mean
it
just
it's
the
same
posting
exercise
for
me
and
it's
really
not
much
more
than
that,
and
I,
as
I've
said,
I
think,
council
needs
to
look
at
having
a
very
robust
process
that
that
has
inclusions
into
the
contract
process.
That
gives
commitments
both
commitments
from
council
book
commitments
in
on
the
successful
tender,
rather
than
the
issue
of
just
assisting
their
support,
and
I
think
that's
where
that
lag
is.
But
but
certainly
your
your
point
on
relation
to
to
the
private
sector
is
something
certainly
that
that
we
can
look
into.
C
Thanks
julie
on
behalf
of
councillor
pope
and
then
the
last
is
a
councillor
baxter
council
boat.
Please.
J
Thank
you
very
much
chair
and
thank
you,
as
others
have
said.
I
think
there's
real.
You
know
value
here.
I
guess
I'm.
I
was
involved
for
many
years
of
scottish
procurement,
the
west
of
scotland
hub
as
well,
so
I
think
you're
absolutely
right
to
highlight
the
north
ayrshire
council.
J
I
just
wanted
to
zoom
in
on
apprenticeships
and
young
people.
I
think
this
is
very
important
because
I
remember
the
closes
on
those
particularly
in
scotland
and
on
training
and
really
sort
of
you
know
the
best
practice
and
if
the
council-
and
hopefully
it
will
be
sort
of
leading
you
know
on
this
in
terms
of
the
public
procurement,
I
guess
the
question
is
in
the
wider
is:
what
else
could
the
council
do
to
encourage
this
in
private
procurement
in
the
local
area
as
well?
Really.
E
Yeah,
a
very
good
question,
just
on
your
common
nurse,
your
council.
I've
just
put
a
link
up
on
the
chapter
in
relation
to
the
ursure
council
strategy
that
I
referred
to
running
from
2020
to
2025.,
but
I
I
within
my
job
I
work
full-time
for
trade
union
and
one
of
the
things
that
we've
been
doing
and
within
the
civil
service
is
trying
to
promote
the
issue
of
apprenticeships.
E
To
get
to
have
the
public
sector
look
to
apprenticeships
as
not
only
a
good
way
to
create
jobs
for
young
people
primarily,
but
also
to
to
retain
people.
I
mean
we've
been
working
with,
especially
in
in
ict.
We
have
a
real
problem
in
ict
in
the
civil
service
and
we
help
young
people.
Then
they
stay
a
couple
of
years
and
then
they
move
on
and
when
they
get
some
experience
under
their
belt,
and
it
is
about
trying
to
retain
that
and
and
they
they
they.
E
We
have
actually
found
that
when
we,
when
people
come
in
through
the
apprentice
party
coming
through
the
apprenticeship
scheme,
they
they
they
are
retained
for
significantly
longer
periods
than
people
who
have
maybe
come
out
of
third
level.
Education
straight
into
the
the
civil
service,
you
may
only
stay
a
couple
years
and
then
move
on
maybe
across
to
the
private
sector
or
or
to
to
another
area,
so
we're
very
keen
to
look
at
our
apprentices:
apprenticeships
within
the
public
sector
as
well,
but
within
the
private
sector.
E
Then
I
think
those
employers
then
should
benefit
as
part
of
when
you're
assessing
the
tenders,
those
employers
who
then
benefit
from
that
process,
and
should
be
that
you
know
that
that
commitment
should
be
acknowledged
as
part
of
the
scoring
process.
Now
what
that
does
in
the
longer
term
is
say
to
those
other
employers
who
are
not
offering
apprentices
or
not
offering
jobs
to
people
from
ethnic
backgrounds
are
not
looking
at
those
hard
hard
to
reach
groups.
E
They're
saying
we're
going
to
have
to
start
and
do
that,
because
if
we
don't
do
that,
then
we're
going
to
lose
out
as
part
of
these
contracts
and
therefore
what
it
actually
does.
Is
it
lifts
everybody
up
it
lifts
the
the
policy
from
the
council
is
clear.
The
commitment
from
the
council
is
clear,
but
it
lifts
all
the
employers
up
and
gives
the
employers
a
clear
direction
of
what's
expected
as
part
of
the
procurement
process.
It's
one
of
the
things
that
I
know
we're
continuing
to
argue
with
at
the
at
the
procurement
board.
E
Are
the
ict
use
assistant
general
sagittarium
really
sits
on
the
procurement
board,
and
I
know
that
is
one
of
the
issues
that
that
that
one
is
really
our
own
is
reason
as
part
of
that
process
we're
very
keen
to
to
lift
up
best
practice,
because
the
best
practice
is
rewarded.
Everybody
benefits
from
a
local
community
who
will
benefit
from
it.
Workers
will
have
battlefront
and
council
will
benefit
from
it.
E
So
I'm
one
of
and
one
of
the
very
good
ways
of
doing
that
is
through
the
promotion
of
apprenticeships
and
people
then
get
the
necessary
skills,
and
then
there
is
a
job
at
the
end
of
it
and
look
I
I'm
a
big
fan
of
of
apprentices
as
chrysler
magellan,
maybe
he'll
know
my
son
is
doing
an
apprentice,
an
apprenticeship
during
belfast
at
the
minute.
So
I'm
really
keen
to
see
that
work
and
and
for
young
people
to
get
opportunities
as
part
of
that.
C
J
A
very
good
answer
indeed,
and
it's
really
looking
to
the
long
term,
so
thank
you.
Julie,.
K
Thanks
very
much
for
the
presentation
and
a
couple
things
I
did
pick
up
on
and
what
you
were
saying
there
in
terms
of
employer.
You
talked
about
bad
employers
and
I
think
you
made
reference
to
you
know
bad
employers
who
don't
pay
11
wage.
You
know
women
be
guilty,
sometimes
you're
living
in
a
public
service
bubble,
but
perhaps
be
very
meaningful.
K
We
have
a
lot
of
businesses
here
in
in
quick
avenue
and
irma
and
bomb
bridge
that
have
to
be
able
to
compete
on
a
national
basis
and
indeed
a
uk
way
basis
or
an
all-ireland
basis,
and
you
know
they
have
to
they
have
to
cut
costs
in
certain
places
now
a
living
wage.
Why
would
all
aspire
to
be
able
to
pay
a
living
wage?
That's
not
always
possible
and.
K
Now
in
the
community
and
said,
look
from
tomorrow,
you
have
to
pay
a
living
wage.
A
lot
of
those
businesses
would
go
out
of
business.
I
think
we
need
to
be
mindful
of
that
as
well.
You
know,
at
the
same
time,
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks
we're
going
to
be
striking
the
rate
here.
You
know
if
we
go
down
this
road
as
much
as
we
would
all
like
to.
I
think
we
need
to
remind
you
to
be
a
huge
cost
involved
as
well,
so
we'll
have
to
strike
a
balance
here.
K
Yes,
we're
in
the
public
service,
but
you
know
we're
still
custodians
of
the
real
pairs
money,
so
I
think
we
need
to
show
a
better
balance
there
in
terms
of
how
we
approach
this
so
yeah
really
appreciate,
and
what
you
brought
to
us
tonight
at
all
signs
at
all
sounds
fantastic.
We
need
to
be
mindful
that
there's
businesses
out
there
that
are
struggling,
there's
businesses
that
need
to
compete
on
a
uk
and
on
the
right
basis,
and
I
think
it's
maybe
you
know
a
bit
unfortunate.
K
The
word
that
we're
saying
businesses,
you
don't
pay
11
wage,
calling
a
bottom
player
and
the
counts
are
just
going
to
write
it
under
their
tender.
Now
that
we're
not
gonna,
let
these
companies
you
know
enter
for
for
contracts
because
they're
not
paying
11
wage,
even
though
it's
not
a
legal
requirement
to
do
so.
So
out
of
some
concerns
around
that,
I
think
before
we
look
at
any
of
this.
We
need
to
have
a
full
in-depth
discussion
at
committee
level
or
whatever
on
how
this
is
going
to
impact
us
as
a
council.
K
That's
going
to
impact
the
real
player
and
how
it's
going
to
impact
us
as
a
business,
because
we're
here
to
run
the
business
to
you,
but
look
just
some
of
those
points
I
want
to
put
out-
and
you
know
in
terms
of
the
bottom
player,
but
I'm
just
a
bit
nervous
around
that.
You
know
who
says
that
somebody's
a
bottom
player
and
what
would
constitute
them
being
a
bottom
player
and.
E
E
This
is
ninety,
so
I
mean,
while
there's
clearly
a
difference,
and
you
know
there's
not
a
significant
difference
between
those
at
the
minute,
but
I
absolutely
accept
the
the
point
is,
I
think
one
of
the
things
maybe
two
points
I
would
say
is
that
I'm
making
an
argument
here
for
council
to
look
at
this
to
give
council
options
and
then
obviously
your
point
is
very
well
made.
It
will
then
be
for
council
to
decide
what
it
does.
I
think,
looking
at
a
number
of
different
areas,
I
think
starting
with
russia.
E
Currency
is
a
good
idea.
I
mean
it
is
done.
Certainly,
I
I
believe
it's
done
some
good
work,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
what
urscher,
council
or
north
usher
council
is
doing
will
fit
in
within
this
council,
and
it
is
for
your
sales,
as
you
say,
as
public
representatives
and
custodians
of
the
money
invested
in
these
by
red
painters.
It's
to
make
decisions
around
that,
and
I
agree.
You
know
that
you
can't
be
throwing
money
at
something
regardless
of
what
it
is.
E
You
can't
be
throwing
money
at
something
if
you
don't
have
that
money,
but
this
process
is
not
a
one
year
or
a
two
year
process
for
us.
E
This
is
about
starting
slow
and
building
and
building
over
an
extended
period
of
time,
because
this
is
all
about
investing
for
the
future
and-
and
I
I
think
when
council
starts
to
look
into
the
detail
of
it,
but
there
may
well
be
some
costs
attached
to
it,
but
I
I
don't
believe
that
that
that
they
will
be
significant
if
they're,
taken,
if
you're
looking
at
this
process
in
a
five
or
a
ten
year
program,
rather
than
maybe
on
the
one
or
two
year
program.
E
I
know
that's
very
difficult
in
the
public
sector,
because
budgets
and
finances
are
not
set
in
a
favorite
10-year
plan
and
and
therefore
flexibility
is
required
in
this.
This
this
program
can
be
flexible
in
relation
to
what
counts
through
those
council
has
options
and
counsellors
will
make
decisions
around
those
options.
We
just
believe
there
are
significant
benefits
in
this,
both
from
a
certain
a
a
plan
for
council
moving
forward.
Second,
clear
strategic
objectives
for
council
and
then
for
yourselves
to
look
at
the
detail
of
that.
E
C
C
Okay,
thanks
bye,
okay
members.
Moving
on
to
agenda
item
four
on
its
sorry
council,
baxter.
K
Just
just
a
quick
question:
jer
on
the
presentation,
obviously
no
issues
with
the
presentation
or
indeed,
and
what
christopher
hunden's
asked
for
tonight
as
well.
I
just
wanted
to
ask:
maybe
three
you
each
remember
the
presentation
we
just
had.
Did
we
agree
that,
through
the
last
committee
at
last
month's
meeting,
that
we
would
have
it
that
would
have
a
decimal.
B
Yes,
through
the
chair,
we
received
the
correspondence
back
in
december's
committee
and
then
members
agreed
to
that
committee
to
invite
them
to
come
in
to
give
the
presentation.
B
Thank
you,
chair
and
good
evening
members
item
four
is
in
relation
to
an
update
on
the
agricultural
strategy,
which
is
due
to
be
launched
formally
and
at
the
beginning
of
march,
and
just
advised
members
that
a
significant
amount
of
work
has
been
ongoing
in
relation
to
the
work
in
relation
to
agriculture
and
as
highlighted
it
provides
about
376
million
pound
to
our
local
economy
as
well.
B
We're
also
doing
some
work
as
part
of
the
mid-south
west
region
in
terms
of
demand
study
in
terms
of
agri-food,
and
then
members
will
be
aware
that
recently
sir
peter
candle
anoints
the
independent
strategic
review
of
the
agri-food
sector
as
well,
and
we
will
bring
back
a
report
in
relation
to
that.
Once
we've
had
an
opportunity
to
review
it.
C
Thank
you,
olga
counselor
k,
savage.
Please.
G
Thank
you,
chair
old.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
and
all
the
team
for
the
work
they've
put
into
us.
I
know
it's
been
a
long
hard
slog
and
the
work
that
has
went
into
it
is
second
to
none
and
really
congratulate
the
team
for
what
they
have
done
here
to
bring
this
to
the
fore.
It's
such
an
important
sector
and
the
pressures
that's
facing
it.
We
all
well
and
really
know
what
they
are
and
throughout
and
just
in
our
previous
caller
there
was
talking
about
living
wage.
B
Yes,
kaiser
savage
and
there's
been
a
number
of
officers
right
across
all
the
council.
Who've
been
working
on
this
and
engaging
extensively
out
there
with
our
rural
communities
and
the
farming
organization
and
the
support
agencies
as
well.
C
Thank
you,
olga
content,
kyle.
C
Okay,
thank
you.
It
was
carson
nicholson
and
then
elephant
spears.
I
Obviously,
send
the
thanks
to
all
the
staff.
This
is
such
an
important
piece
of
work,
and
I
don't.
I
don't
think
we
should
underestimate,
because
we're
we're
the
only
council
we're
the
first
council
to
do
this,
because
I've
been
talking
to
other
councils
throughout
northern
ireland
and-
and
they
have
nothing
like
this,
so
it
really
is
great
to
get
at
this
stage
and
and
really
now
is
when
the
you
know
the
work's
going
to
start
and
look
forward
to
this,
obviously
the
launch,
etc
and
obviously
taking
it
forward.
I
I
I
think
we're
recognized
and-
and
they
are
under
pressure
at
the
moment,
there's
various
things
happening
out
there,
be
it
climate
change
bills,
be
it
whatever,
but
as
kyle
says,
there's
a
great
there's,
a
great
saying:
no
farmers,
no
food
and-
and
that
is
a
fact
they
are
there.
They
are
creating
the
food
for
everybody,
and
this
just
outlines
just
the
importance
of
that
industry
and,
of
course,
the
agri-food
industry
as
well.
I
think
we
recognized
in
our
borough
how
important
it
is.
So
I
do
think
this.
I
C
Thank
you,
councillor
nicholson,
alderman
spears.
Please.
M
Mr
chairman,
first
of
all,
I
would
agree
with
the
comments
made
by
both
kailan
councillor
nicholson
in
relation
to
the
work
that
has
been
done
by
the
relevant
officers
that
have
been
involved
in
this.
Yes,
we
are
the
the
first
council,
as
I
understand
it,
in
northern
ireland
that
has
embarked
on
this,
and
it's
a
very
well-known
fact
that
agriculture
and
agri-food
is
the
largest
employer
in
in
northern
ireland,
and
it's
it's
key
to
the
jobs
of
many
many
people.
M
I'm
just
want
to
ask
a
couple
of
questions
in
relation
to
it
and
it's
in
relation
to
the
peter
campbell
review
and
strategic
review
of
the
agri-food
industry,
and
that
has
been
recently
published
and
how
I
mean,
as
country
nicholson
said,
we
have
climate
change
and
all
the
events
that
are
happening
in
the
outside
world,
so
to
speak.
That
are
having
a
knock
on
effect
on
agriculture
and,
to
some
extent
possibly
confidence
in
agriculture,
which
is
is
actually
key.
M
M
I,
as
I
understand
it,
it's
a
fairly
far-reaching
report
and
it
most
likely
delves
into
the
whole
issue
of
of
climate
change
and,
to
some
extent,
what
has
happened
in
recent
days
and
in
stormont
in
terms
of
the
target
of
100
percent
by
2050
is
in
effect
no
doubt
going
to
affect
agriculture
in
a
major
way.
M
So
thanks
to
those
involved,
but
we
have
challenges
ahead
and
those
are
challenges
that,
unless
you
face
them
and
the
agricultural
industry
will
have
to
face
them,
some
of
them
will
be
extremely
difficult
and
hopefully
the
work
that
we
do
here
in
working
with
all
the
partners
in
the
in
the
agri-food
industry.
The
agricultural
industry
will
hopefully
create
pointers
whereby
we
can
help
in
a
in
a
meaningful
way
to
the
sector.
Thank
you,
sir.
B
Thank
you,
oliver
spears
and
as
you've
outlined
as
well.
There
are
a
number
of
government
departments
and
agencies
out
there
already
and
doing
a
lot
of
work
within
agriculture
and
including
dira,
cafre
and
afbay,
and
we've
been
working
closely
with
them
to
ensure
that
this
strategy-
it's
about
how
do
we
take
forward
signposts
into
the
support
programs
that
they
have
to
the
the
data
that
the
farmers
are
actually
producing?
B
How
do
we
utilize
that,
in
the
future
to
help
the
businesses,
but
also
about
how
do
we
help
the
businesses
in
terms
of
sustainability
and
adaptability
as
well?
So
there's
a
significant
amount
of
work
for
us
in
the
in
the
years
ahead,
and
but
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
as
a
council
to
highlight
the
importance
of
agriculture.
C
Thank
you,
oliver,
council,
michael
roth,
please.
A
Thanks
chair,
yeah,
listen,
it's
just
very
briefly
to
echo
the
comments
already
been
made
here
in
relation
to
this.
Thank
you
to
the
team
for
the
work
that
has
went
into
it
as
well.
It's
good
to
see
this
on
the
agenda
tonight.
Our
farmers
have
taken
a
piston
over
this
last
week
or
two
in
relation
to
climate
change
and
so
on.
A
So
it's
good
to
see
that
this
council
is
bringing
forward
a
strategy
that
will
support
our
farmers,
support
our
agree
industry
and
certainly
our
party
will
not
be
found
welcome
as
far
as
our
farming
industry
is
concerned.
So
thank
you
all
in
the
team
and
thanks
for
bringing
this
this
forward
tonight.
B
Thank
you
chair,
and
this
is
relation
to
the
the
presentation
that
we've
just
received
from
julie,
hart
and
members
will
be
aware
that
we've
just
received
a
very
comprehensive
presentation,
which
has
highlighted
areas
that
have
commenced
work
within
community
wealth
and
social
value
opportunity
and,
as
we
emerge
from
cobot
19,
and
we
need
to
look
at
how
do
the
economy
and
the
community
work
closer
together
to
ensure
that
our
area
is
viable
and
we
will
research.
C
L
Thank
you,
chair
and
good
evening.
Members.
Yes,
5.1
is
an
item
for
decision
and
it's
entitled
employability
and
skills
update
on
funding
application.
The
decision
required
it
is
recommended.
The
members
accept
the
letter
of
offer
from
the
department
for
the
community
for
the
economy,
in
support
of
the
armada
band
bridge
and
creighton
labor
market
partnership
for
the
total
value
of
50
000
pounds
across
financial
years,
21,
22
and
22
23.
N
Thank
you
chair,
I'm
very
happy
to
propose
this,
but
when
I
I
see
reference
made
to
the
monthly
virtual
job
first
for
the
next
number
of
months,
I
hope
that
we'll
soon
get
back
to
the
position
where
we
can
have
some
of
these
in
this
fantastic
facility,
we
have
when
we
get
back
to
having
physical
ones
and
bringing
the
companies
in,
because
I
think
at
the
end
of
the
day,
really
the
physical
presence
is
hard
to
beat.
Thank
you.
I
Yeah
look,
I
was
coming
into
a
second,
but
look
anyway
happy
to
support
nikola,
thank
you
and
for
your
hard
work
on
this.
I
think
it's
so
important
that
you
know
there
is
pathways
for
these
younger,
younger
people
and
there's
real
opportunities
out
there
and
we've
talked
with
the
agri-food
sector
and
there
is
other
opportunities
be
attacked,
be
it
green
growth
whatever.
I
So,
hopefully
we
get
the
range
of
of
of
of
companies
that
will
come
forward
and
I
suppose,
on
the
back
of
what
what
they
were
saying,
you
know,
as
in
the
apprentice
schemes
you
know,
would
be
something
to
really
look
at
within
this.
You
know
these
groups
to
consider
taking
on
apprentices.
So
definitely
I'm
happy
to
support
you.
Thank
you.
C
F
Yeah,
thank
you,
hey
chairman,
and
thank
you
nichola
for
the
presentation,
just
in
relation
to
the
the
piece
around
the
hgb
training
and
employment
academy.
I
think
it's
great
to
see
that
we've
had
over
250
applications,
but
I
only
got
45
places,
and
I
know
from
speaking
to
quite
a
few
young
people
who-
and
I
have
to
say
both
male
and
female,
who
had
expressed
an
interest
in
a
in
the
scheme
which
I
think
is
great
I'd,
be
keen
to
see.
F
If
there's
a
way,
we
could
look
at
maybe
expanding
that
program
further
and
seek
if
there
was
additional
funds
to
run,
to
provide
another
45
places,
because
anyone
who's
speaking
to
people
in
the
haulage
industry
and
you
know,
they're
very
getting
it
really
tight
to
get
to
get
drivers,
and
if
this
is
a
way
of
alleviating
that
pressure
locally,
I
think
it's
definitely
something
I'd
be
keen
that
we
could
look
at.
F
So
if
I
could
ask
if
you
could
either
talk
to
the
department
or
even
look
within
ourselves
to
see
a
and
bring
back
a
report
on
how
much
it
would
cost
to
provide
additional
cases,
I
think
it's
something
they'd
be
very,
very
keen
to
see
and
then
maybe
in
due
course,
if
you
could
give
us
a
report
on
the
spread
of
where
the
applications
are
coming
from
and
what
particular
parts
of
the
the
haulage
sector
people
are
interested.
Is
it
food
distribution
or
or
what?
F
But
you
know,
I
think
it's
definitely
a
it's
been
a
very
successful
and
popular
scheme,
and
I
would
hope
that
we
could
expand
that
even
further
with
the
view
to
providing
another
45
places,
because
it's
one
thing
that
the
the
scheme
or
the
the
industry
is
absolutely
crying
out
for
and
that's
more
drivers,
and
if
this
is
a
way
of
opening
that
up,
I
think
it's
definitely
something
that
we
can
do
as
a
practical
is
next
step.
L
Yes,
thank
you
chair
and
chris
rohannon
is
right.
It
is
a
very,
very
huge
need
out
there
amongst
our
residents,
but
also
the
local
employers
as
well,
so
we're
we're
so
glad
that
we
were
able
to
to
bring
forward
this
game
with
45
faces.
L
However,
we
do
know,
as
you
have
rightly
said,
that
that's
only
just
a
drop
in
the
ocean
at
the
moment-
we're
hoping
to
go
back
for
additional
funding
for
the
for
the
year
after
this
one
to
be
able
to
do
more
of
this
and
to
treat
this
almost
as
a
pilot
so
that
we
can
start
to
make
those
tweaks
that
we
can
start
to
review
the
evidence.
F
Chair,
can
I
just
nichola
you
thank
you.
F
L
No
three
three
charts
up
until
the
end
of
march
this
year
and
then
we're
we're
hoping
to
get
more
funding
then
for
the
the
next
year
just
forgot,
which
year
I
was
in
there.
So.
G
Thank
you,
chair,
just
really
reiterate
everything
at
thomas
holland,
councillor,
holland
has
said
there
about
the
hgv
and
we
noticed
last
year
every
time
that
we've
been
lobbied
for
the
problems
that
the
logistics
companies
were
facing
like
and
it's
good
to
see
that
council
have
and
partnership
responded
to
that.
But
again,
there
is
a
massive
need
in
this
sector
and
it's
whatever
we
can
do
to
try
and
run
another
program
or
whatever.
G
Here
you
know
the
number
of
jobs
has
created
through
these
jobs
fairs.
It's
not
possible
to
do
that
like
that,
just
something
I
know
we
have
been
successful
and
sore
and
also
separate
altogether,
but
it's
nothing
to
scrape
the
hand
you
know
to
hold
up
that.
We
have
actually
helped
to
create
so
many
jobs
within
this
area,
and
so
that's
really
where
I'm
coming
from,
but
look
we
need
to
keep
at
it.
Thank
you,
chair.
L
Yes,
thank
you
just
to
come
back
on
that
a
breach
job
fair
that
we
have.
We
know
in
advance
how
many
jobs
the
the
company's
attending
have
on
offer.
So,
yes,
we
have
that
information
and
it's
not
just
the
jobs
and
offers
also,
then
the
support
that
is
provided
by
the
partners
that
are
also
at
those
events
that
are
there
to
support
the
residents
and
the
citizens
who
come
forward
to
those.
G
I'm
just
sure
if
it
could
come
back
will
it
be
good
to
get
that
information.
You
know
that
was
brought
forward
because
it
it
makes
it
worthwhile
that
we
hear
the
feedback
and
that
so
does
you
know-
and
I
think
that's
important,
but
you
know
there's
there's
vacancies
in
every
sector
right
across
and
there's
a
massive
demand.
G
C
L
Thank
you,
chairman
5.2.
It's
about
community
renewal
fund
applications
update,
so
the
decision
required
members
were
requested
to
approve
the
contract
of
agreement
between
council
and
healthcare
analytics
limited
to
deliver
the
southern
region.
Data
innovation
hub
funded
through
the
community
renewal
fund
up
until
june
2022.
C
J
Thank
you
chair.
Yes,
it
was
just
on
item
5.4
urban
center
update
on
the
bambridge
public
realm.
I'm
delighted
to
see
that
procurement
is
ongoing
at
the
moment
with
a
contractor
expected
on
site
in
late
july
22..
J
It
was
just
a
request
to
officers
if
they
could
contact
local
traders
and
notify
them
well
in
advance
of
that
to
minimize
disruption
to
their
businesses.
Thinking
particularly
about
you
know,
utility
services
as
well,
so
it's
a
request
that
they
engage
in
I'm
sure
they
will,
but
just
to
reinforce
that.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
sir.
L
Yes,
absolutely
chair:
the
public
realm
in
band
bridge
is
very,
very
important
to
council
and
to
residents
and
business
as
well,
and
we
know
from
previous
experiences
that
communicating
early
and
often
is
so
important
for
the
businesses
so
that
they
know
when
street
closures
are
happening.
So
they
know
how
deliveries
are
going
to
be
handled
and
how
customers
are
going
to
be
handled
on
lots
of
other
things
as
well.
So
laura
our
town
center
manager
sits
on
that
public
realm
steering
group.
L
So
she
is
the
conduit
between
the
steering
group
and
the
decisions
that
are
being
made
and
the
communications
that
are
being
made
and
the
traders
so
just
to
ratio.
You
kind
of
hope
that
that
connection
has
been
made
and
laura
is
actively
aware
of
her
role
and
is
following
up
on
that.
C
O
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
chair
and
churches
on
5.5,
that's
the
valuation
of
the
christmas
2021
and
if
we
just
firstly
thank
the
authors
and
those
all
involved
for
the
the
feedback,
and
that
received
is
something
that
I
had
asked
that
we
did.
The
good
evaluation
over
them
certainly
would
like
to
see
some
more
feedback
on
it.
But
I
suppose
the
points
that
are
raised
on
it
are
very,
very
relevant
and
it's
good
to
see
that
we
were
on
the
right
track
with
everything
that
we've
done
over
christmas,
even
in
this
time
of
covert.
O
Hopefully,
as
we
progress,
we'll
have
even
more
events,
but
one
of
the
things
out
there
was
about
the
nights
that
we
choose
and
I
do
feel
that's
important,
and
certainly
I
would
reflect
the
feedback
I
received
in
bomb
bridge
on
having
on
the
friday
night
and
just
one
other
point
here.
O
If
I
could
ask
if
some
people
begin
to
one
of
the
other
comments
it's
made
on
is
about
our
christmas
lights
in
some
areas,
and
I
know
talking
to
someone-
we've
been
there
for
a
long
time,
bomb
bridge
and
sooner
or
later,
there's
quite
a
few
complaints
about
some
of
them,
not
working
and
bits
and
pieces,
and
the
team
didn't
work
very
quickly.
Do
that,
but
just
thinking
even
though
there's
a
like
rather
island
there
and
guilford,
someone
has
been
raised
with
quite
a
few
of
the
counters.
O
I
believe
that
about
looking,
if
we
could
do
some
sort
of
study
on
even
the
age
of
some
of
our
likes
this
condition
and
if
we
could
potentially
look
at
investing
in
some
new
stuff
with
this
some
of
the
feedback
that's
coming
through
in
that
report,
which
I
probably
didn't
expect
when
I
seen
it
so
charges.
O
If
I
could
even
propose
that
we
do
have
a
look
at
that,
even
if
some
of
our
lights
are
quite
an
age
and
the
condition
of
them
and
stuff
as
we
move
forward
with
the
potential
of
increasing
new
decks
in
certain
areas.
So
you
could
mention
sure
thank
you.
L
F
I
want
to
place
on
record
may
thanks
to
the
staff
who
have
been
involved
and
and
did
say
that,
because
of
the
year
we
were
in,
I
had
to
do
some
things
different
and
there
was
the
drive-in
movie
nights
and
there
was
a
bit
of
a
blip
and
kiri.
But
look
I
have
to
pay
tribute
to
the
girls
who
were
on
the
scene
on
the
night
and
tried
to
to
get
everything
sorted
on
the
follow-up
activity
since
that.
F
But
I
would
be
keen
that
we
plan
for
the
the
return
of
the
twilight
markets,
particularly
to
the
towns
and
villages
in
in
the
in
the
next
year
and
a
bikini
that
that
is
programmed
at
an
early,
a
point,
but
secondly,
around
the
branding
of
light
of
the
borough.
You
know
in
dwindlesborne
and
castleway
you
go
to
balamina,
it
means
the
same.
F
It's
just
I
I
get
it
the
graphics
and
all
were
fantastic,
that
that's
not
the
issue
to
me,
light
up
the
borough,
it
could
be
anywhere
and
I
think
we
need
to
be
trying
to
be
much
more
specific,
and
I
know
in
previous
years
that
would
have
been
tailored
to
light
up
armor.
I
light
up
bomb
bridge,
let
it
they
poured
it
down
or
lowered
them,
and
I
think
that
sort
of
a
spin
needs
to
be
put
on
it.
But
it's
just
in
terms
of
the
the
branding
or
that
overarching
thing.
F
You
know,
and
I
see
councillor,
barry
norton,
I'm
sure
he's
getting
it
in
the
in
the
air
as
well,
and
I
know
there
was
it
was
investment
and
some
of
the
the
lights
in
previous
years
to
me.
I
actually
see
that
the
the
in
those
towns
where
that
leighton
was
invested
in
there's
less
lights
in
it
there
and
last
christmas.
Maybe
those
ones
was
faulty
or
something
that
that
might
be
in
the
issue.
F
But
as
I
say,
if
you
take
a
look
at
some
of
the
back
streets
and
put
it
down,
there's
more
lights
in
those
than
there
is
in
some
of
our
towns
and
villages,
and
this
isn't
about
saying
right,
you
take
lights
out
a
quarter
down.
This
is
about
saying
right,
there's
other
areas
that
we
also
need
to
invest
in
and
a
bikini
for
a
report
to
be
brought
back
in
an
early
opportunity,
but
look
nick
thanks
very
much
for
the
work,
and
indeed
your
team,
but
also
the
team.
F
In
the
like
of
operational
services,
we
go
out
and
what
today
lights
up
and
take
them
down
and
do
all
that
sort
of
stuff?
That's
it.
It
really
is
appreciated.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
country,
holland.
Do
you
want
to
come
back
and
neglect
to
run
ahead
to
the
next
couple
of
speakers.
L
No,
I
suppose
I
just
wanted
to
echo
councillor
o'hanlon's
views
there
that,
yes,
it
is
a
complete
team
effort
across
council
and
nearly
every
department
is
involved
in
it
and
it
is
a
testament
to
all
the
officers
that
are
able
to
work
together.
I'm
certainly
very
very
happy
to
organize
workshops
early
in
relation
to
branding
and
getting
ideas
from
from
members,
because
you
know
every
every
idea
is
a
good
one
and
sometimes
it's
hard
to
think
of
something
new
around
christmas.
L
C
G
You
yeah
no
necklace
again
a
big
thanks
to
the
team
that
carried
out
the
work
before
christmas.
I
know
they
were
working
on
their
pressure
because
everything
was
landed
at
the
last
moment
on
them
really
to
a
certain
extent,
but
taking
on
some
of
the
points
of
councillor
holland
again
what
he
said
about
light
up
the
borough
and
honestly
failed
to
mention
late
up
to
moore
and
that
all,
but
sure
we're
used
to
that.
No.
G
But
also
there's
a
lot
of
times
the
year
you
laid
it
up
too
well,
keeper
look
anyway
on
that.
Could
I
suggest
that
come
that
we
get
start
talking
with
us
in
may
time.
G
You
know
before
the
summer
time
and
not
you
know
that
we
start
get,
that
we
give
our
staff
a
chance
and
an
opportunity
to
be
well
prepared
this
year,
hopefully,
as
covet,
will
be
well
and
truly
on
the
back
burner
and
that,
but
you
know,
I
think,
we've
got
to
find
a
new
way
of
working
on
all
of
that
going
forward
and
take
the
opportunities
that
arise
from
that
and
you
know,
but
again
the
staff.
It's
not
fair
us,
london,
a
pile
of
work
on
the
staff
on
the
right
for
christmas
to
you
and
they're.
G
D
I
don't
know
they're
saying
you
know
we
need
to
start
talking
and
made,
but
with
all
the
works
that's
going
on
in
our
town
centers,
we
would
need
to
be
making
sure
the
infrastructure
for
christmas
lights
and
all
is
it
installed
now
because,
as
christopher
onward
said,
he
sacrificed
a
proposal
for
when
I
backed
streets
and
poured
it
down.
I
had
met
a
couple
of
years
ago
from
woodhouse
street
which
never
had
the
infrastructure
for
christmas
lights.
I
never
got
it
so.
D
I
know
they're
working,
doing
public
realm
work
down
in
there
at
the
minute
and
just
to
make
sure
that
they
put
the
infrastructure
in
there
when
they're
doing
it.
For
the
christmas
lights,
I'm
gonna
do
it
in
basically
dramur
tundra
ghee.
They
do
it
right
across
the
board
and
they're
when
they
have
the
streets
ripped
up
rather
than
saying,
they're
looking
lights
in
and
they're
saying,
there's
no
infrastructure
there
one
would
detect
the
rip.
D
C
Good
points
councillor
duffy,
thank
you,
members
with
concert,
barry
and
then
finish
over
councilman
nicholson.
Please.
Thank
you
very
much.
Well.
Thank.
P
You
sure
we're
very
brief.
I've
just
wholeheartedly
agreed
with
the
other
councillors
in
relation
to
the
the
drive-in
cinemas
of
a
great
success.
But
one
thing
I
think
that
must
be
mentioned
is
the
consultation
that
our
staff,
who
done
an
exceptional
job,
had
with
the
schools,
the
local
schools,
because
I
know
the
local
primary
schools
and
all
were
very
appreciative
of
the
fact
that
they
were
consulted
in
relation
to
sort
of
you
know
what
felons
the
kids
would
want
to
watch.
P
P
We
obviously
had
tried
that
as
a
pilot
before
covert
hit-
and
there
were
fantastic
success-
yes,
there
could
have
been
tweaks
made,
they
could
have
been
maybe
downsized,
and
you
know
we
could
have
looked
at
a
a
lesser
budget,
but
I
think,
as
counselor
kale
savage
has
said,
let's
start
looking
at
it
now,
because
it's
our
staff,
those
girls
and
chops
who
who
made
christmas,
deliver
for
everybody
this
year
in
previous
years,
they're
the
ones
that
have
to
do
the
work
and
have
to
do
the
work
on
the
ground
and
get
everything
involved
so
think
we
need
to
start
that
sooner
rather
than
later,
and
let's
take
a
look
at
that
and
also
on
the
lights.
P
This
is
something
that
a
is
always
a
bit
of
an
annoyance.
Every
year,
waste
lights
have
been
improved
over
recent
years.
I
don't
think
that's
a
sort
of
a
sit
still.
I
think
we
should
be
looking
at
that
on
a
yearly
or
every
two
years
to
see
how
we
can
make
further
improvements
to
our
lights
across
the
city,
borough,
andre
moore
and
and
that
that
everybody's
catered
for
so
I
think
those
are
something
but,
as
scale
savages
said,
I'm
thomas.
I
Yeah
thanks
sure-
and
I
have
two
questions
nicola
in
in
relation
to
the
the
city
center
identities.
When
is
those
workshops,
the
dates?
When
will
they
be
released?
We're
in
february
now?
Obviously,
people
ask
about
that
and
make
sure
we
get
a
good
turnout
and
a
also
in
relation
to
the
evaluation
of
christmas.
You
know
I
I
I
support
what
others
are
saying
and
it'd
be
good
to
get
together
and
have
a
workshop
to
have
a
discussion,
because
I
do
think
we.
I
It
is
all
a
wee
bit
better
and
we
are
seeing
other
countries
like
lisbon,
all
investing
in
in
in
some
sort
of
light
feature
or
whatever,
which
people
share
over
social
media
and
then
they're
all
going.
Why
don't
we
have
this
and
arbor,
but
look
we're
coming
out
of
cover
has
been
said,
but
the
one
thing
that,
basically,
hopefully
you
know
going
forward
this
year,
things
will
be
a
bit
different,
the
christmas
car
park
in
nicola.
I
I
Unfortunately,
what
happens
a
lot
of
it
happens
in
other
parts
of
our
staff
park
in
the
free
car
parking,
and
so
it's
not
available
for
visitors
to
the
borough,
and
it's
just
something
that
I
would
like
to
maybe
investigate
a
bit
more
throughout
the
border.
Is
it?
Is
it
a
normal
problem?
Does
it
happen
elsewhere?
I
know
it's
very
difficult
how
to
stop
it.
I
have
no
idea
because
it
it's
kind
of
like
you
know
it's
there.
I
You
know
open
for
you
know
what
for
for,
for
everyone
but
and
like,
and
I
spoke
to
staff,
and
I
said
well
tell
your
staff
to
you
know
park,
you
know
and
leave
the
spaces
free
and
then
the
argument
back
is
but
look.
They
have
to
walk
to
their
cars
in
the
winter's
evening
and
it's
dark
and
blah
blah
blah.
So
look
it's
something
that
we,
when
we
look
at
to
make
sure
it's
more
more
successful
that
we
don't
have.
You
know,
sort
of
some
businesses
sort
of,
because
I
do
think
it's
it's
beneficial.
I
L
Okay,
I'm
getting
the
note
from
the
chair
to
come
back
some
sort
of
an
answer
to
this
one
and
I'll
attempt
to
do
the
best
that
I
can
and
yes,
there's
a
number
of
points
that
members
have
raised,
and
hopefully
I've
taken
a
note
of
most
of
them
I'll
go
to
first
of
all
christmas
car
parking,
because
this
is
the
the
one
that
was
raised
last
there
and
you're
right.
The
idea
of
staff
parking
and
in
areas
where
perhaps
businesses
would
like
their
customers
to
park
is
something
that
is
very
wide.
L
I
think
it's
northern
ireland
wide
and
all
of
those
things,
so
maybe
one
of
the
things
that
we
should
look
at
and
and
to
look
at
with
the
bpa,
the
business
partnership
alliance
and
the
chambers
and
the
city
centre
management,
there's
some
sort
of
a
joint
message
to
all
the
businesses
across
the
border.
Some
sort
of
a
joint
campaign
to
say
look
a
key
event
like
this.
L
Interestingly
enough,
I
was
looking
at
some
of
the
results
that
were
coming
back
from
the
car
parking
and
what
people
thought
about
it
and
over
80
percent
of
businesses
that
responded
to
the
survey
said.
Yes,
they
welcomed
the
pre-car
parking
that
council
was
provided,
but
I
understand
your
point
completely
that
unless
customers
are
able
to
use
it,
there's
no
benefit
really
to
the
businesses.
L
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
can
look
at
and
progress
progresses,
maybe
that
joint
message
with
the
bpa,
the
chambers
and
the
city
centre
management
that
might
help
in
that
regard.
L
In
relation
to
christmas,
I
agree
with
members
it's
time
to
start
looking
at
christmas
as
soon
as
as
possible,
and
maybe
one
of
the
things
to
do
is
to
look
at
starting
a
another
working
group,
but
really
for
me
to
start
to
break
down
the
work
streams
that
need
to
flow
together.
L
Looking
at
lights,
infrastructure
and
investment
events,
markets,
key
messaging
and
branding
and
direct
mentioned
trees.
But
there
may
be
other
things
as
well
so
start
to
maybe
organize
some
of
those
meetings
so
that
by
the
time,
we're
ready
to
operate
that
that
there
are
no
surprises
in
there
and
that
we're
we're
all
working
together
as
a
council
with
our
key
partners
as
well
and
in
terms
of
the
urban
center
identities.
I
know
that
work
is.
We
are
very
keen
to
get
that
underway.
L
So
I
will
let
you
know
and
members
all
know
when
those
workshops
have
been
agreed
on
the
dates
with
those
okay.
C
Thank
you,
nichola
mummers,
there's
a
few
more
lights
on,
but
there's
three
more
speakers
and
that's
the
end
of
the
discussion
of
country
greenfield
first
olive
and
anderson
and
then
almond
migrate
to
finish
off
so
three
more
speakers,
and
that
said
country.
Please
thank.
O
O
But
could
I
just
highlight
sure
that
in
the
past
we
did
quite
a
few
movies
shown
in
solitude
park
and
bomb
bridge
in
the
late
sort
of
autumn
time
coming
in
and
they
were
very
successful
and
just
I
know,
with
coven
stuff,
things
happened
up
the
last
year,
so
they
just
put
that
reminder
tonight
just
that
we
could
plan
for
these
again
for
that
practices,
and
certainly
the
idea
of
even
getting
the
schools
involved
even
for
the
likes
of
those
nights,
I
think,
are
very
worthwhile
in
the
working
community
by
end,
so
everybody
just
raised
her.
C
Thank
you
councillor
greenfield
snowden,
alderman
anderson.
Please.
Q
Thank
you
for
letting
me
in.
Can
I
also
thank
nicola
on
her
team
and
also
right
across
the
departments
for
the
the
team
effort
in
the
lighting
up
of
the
of
the
borough
just
passed,
and
it's
good
to
know.
Maybe
we're
moving
to
a
situation
for
our
goal
just
to
have
discussions
at
an
early
stage.
Q
Maybe
in
past
years,
if
I
ever
remember,
there
was
maybe
money
put
into
the
budgets
to
allow
for
a
certain
level
of
new
lighting
to
have
more
sure
up
the
christmas
lighting
to
know
what
the
budget
will
be.
We're
coming
up
the
setting
yet
shortly
and
we
need
to
look
if
there's
going
to
be
sufficient
funds
in
there
to
to
maybe
bring
better
lights
to.
We
all
have
our
pad
areas
coming
from
where
we
are.
Q
We
look
at
all
the
different
streets,
but
I
think
that
needs
looked
at
before
we
move
into
how
put
lighting
we
can
put
right
around
the
borough
and
I
think
we
need
to
have
a
a
a
good
look
at
that
to
ensure
that
we
have
enough
lighting
and
if
the
funds
are
available
going
forward.
So
that's
just
a
few
points.
I
want
to
make
that
good.
N
Thank
you
chair.
I
didn't
intend
to
come
in,
but,
as
the
meeting
went
on,
I
thought
there
were
just
a
few
things.
I
want
to
make
a
few
brief
comments
on
when
we
have
the
opportunity
in
relation
to
driving
movies
and
it's
great
to
hear
they
were
very
successful
and
whenever
it
didn't
work
in
kyrie,
I
knew
council
officers
did
go.
The
second
mail
provide
hammers
and
first
played
them
out.
N
That
was
an
excellent
gesture
to
the
people
that
were
let
down
in
the
night,
but
there's
also
an
indication
that
the
check-up
wasn't
complete,
that
the
tickets
were
free
and
people
didn't
take
them
well.
N
Lots
of
people
didn't
take
up
their
tickets,
the
they
pre-booked
online,
maybe
six
tickets,
but
didn't
turn
up
because
they
were
free.
So
we
would
suggest
just
a
nominal
fee
might
be
enough.
I've
seen
that's
done
on
another
council
and
seems
to
have
helped
there
in
relation
to
free
parking
and
councillor
nicholson's
comments.
N
N
Obviously
I
think
this
year
is
different,
because
the
spend
local
card
of
100
pounds
helped
and
I've
spoken
a
lot
of
drapers
fashion,
shops,
etc.
Who
said
they
really
benefited
in
their
own
up
to
christmas
and
it
made
a
big
difference
to
them
and
what
could
have
been
a
very
difficult
period
in
relation
to
the
christmas
lighting
around
the
different
parts
of
the
borough
town
cities,
hamlets
villages
or
wherever
you
know,
people
can't
be
left
out
totally,
but
at
the
same
time
we
need
a
way
better
reality
around
us.
N
Smaller
places
get
a
proportionately
lower
percentage,
but
get
something
at
least
and
again
I
would
encourage
officers
maybe
to
talk
to
other
councils
to
see
if
they
can
learn
how
it's
handled,
because
this
comes
up
year
in
year
out
in
this
kind,
so
they
know
that
different
places
didn't
get
or
it
wasn't
up
to
standard.
So
you
know
an
audit
of
the
lighting
could
help
us
along
that
road,
and
then
you
know
get
something:
that's
population
based
and
really
that
that's
all
I
want
to
say,
but
you
know
generally.
N
C
Thank
you,
oliven
nicholas
anything.
You
want
to
come
in
there.
Okay!
Thank
you.
Members.
That's
item
number.
Five
all
finished
we're
moving
on
to
agenda
number,
six
on
its
the
head
of
tourism
and
its
brand
want
to
take
this
report
to
the
brand.
R
Thank
you,
chair
and
good
evening.
Members
and
6.1
is
a
tourism
update
generally
and
the
introduction
to
the
report
and
outlines,
obviously
the
ongoing
difficult
trading
conditions
that
the
the
the
tourism
hospitality
businesses
are
experiencing,
and
we
continue
to
work
really
closely
with
them
to
try
and
work
out
how
we
can
best
modify
what
we're
doing
to
respond
to
those
needs.
R
So
the
report
before
members
is
even
related
to
that,
but
I
think
you
know
to
start
with
a
real
positive
and
in
2022,
obviously
the
good
news
story
in
tourism
in
northern
ireland
in
ireland
in
the
uk
probably
last
week
and
was
the
opening
of
the
game
of
thrones
tour
and
at
bomb
bridge,
and
there
was
huge
international
media
and
tour
operator
interests
and
in
in
the
events
of
the
world,
those
media
events
on
the
wednesday.
R
And
so
the
recommendation
specific
to
this
report
before
members
is,
it
is
recommended
that
members
agree
the
approach
to
upcoming
tourism,
sectoral
support
activity
and
accept
the
funding
letter
of
offer
of
up
to
20
250
pounds
from
tourism,
northern
ireland
for
the
spring
22
destination
marketing
champion.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
bran
counselor
kevin
savage.
Please.
S
Thank
you,
sir,
and
thank
you
for
your
report
brown.
I
notice
in
the
service
level
agreement
there's
a
plan
to
bring
selected
influencers
down
and
treat
them
to
the
best
there
is,
I
know,
there's
been
a
bit
of
a
kickback
recently
in
relation
to
influencers
and
the
perception
that
they're
getting
something
for
nothing
and
that
they're
coming
into
places
and
then
maybe
highlighting
that
on
their
social
media
feeds
and
there's,
there's
no
tangible
benefits
to
to
the
the
place
where
they're
visiting
in
this
case
the
borough.
S
Can
you
tell
us
a
bit
more
about
the
implants
bran
or
is
it
still
at
a
very
early
stage,
or
you
know
I'll
just
be
interested
in
your
thoughts?
In
relation
to
that,
thank
you,
chair.
I
Yeah
thanks
sharon,
and
thanks
fan
for
your
report
and
and
chairman
I'm
happy
to
propose
the
recommendation
that
that's
on
the
report-
and
I
want
to
just
sort
of
echo
band's
comments
that
you
know
the
opening
of
the
game
of
thrones
cheer
this
week
was
was
massive,
that
we
saw
the
wide
sort
of
you
know
pr
that
it
got
right
across
the
world
and
to
get
some
of
the
you
know.
I
The
the
the
the
actors
here,
ron,
stark
and
zombie
and
and
others
to
attend
was
was
was
a
big
coup
as
well
and
shows
you
how
highly
you
know
are
regarding
this,
this,
as
as
part
of
their
branding
and
going
forward.
So
look
I
I
want
to
pay
a
tribute
to
you
and,
and
obviously
all
all
the
the
tourism
department,
because
I
know
you
were
a
major
part
of
of
putting
the
shoulder
to
the
wheel
to
get
this
one.
I
You
know
on
and
on
open
and-
and
I
think
that
needs
to
be
be
recognized,
because
I
do
think
I
I
always
say
this
every
time
I
I
met
a
guy
one
time
at
a
dinner.
He
he
was
the
mayor
of
watford
and
they
they
had
got
harry
potter
land.
When
I
turned
around,
I
said
to
him,
we
were
getting
game
of
thrones
says
you
have
no
idea
what
you're
getting
he
says.
I
This
is
going,
it's
going
to
be
phenomenal,
it's
going
to
transform
your
borough
and
hopefully
we'll
see
that
over
the
coming
months
and
and
and
and
the
years
so
look
I
would
share
country
savage's
sort
of
issue
about
social
influencers,
but
unfortunately
that's
the.
I
Seem
to
be
through
whether
it
be
instagram
or
or
or
whatever
social
media
platform.
These
people
are
becoming
more
and
more
a
a
a
a
thing,
and-
and-
and
I
would
I
wouldn't-
but
I
wouldn't
they
do-
promote
the
you
know
across
social
media,
the
facility,
the
area
and
all
that
they're
being
involved
in
them.
Personally,
maybe
they're
not
really
that
worried
about
it,
but
you
know
yourself,
it
does
get
the
message
out
there
and
it
is.
I
C
Thank
you
councillor.
Oliver
moody,
please.
N
Thank
you
chair
and
I'm
very
happy
to
second
the
proposal.
I
I
congratulate
bran
and
his
department
on
the
work
that
they
have
done
and
are
currently
on
undertaking.
But
can
I
just
make
a
suggestion
here
and
I
don't
want
a
bounce
brand
tonight.
I
don't
expect
an
answer,
but
maybe
some
consideration.
We've
given
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
people
haven't
been
able
to
visit
our
museums
within
the
borough
and
we
do
have
quite
a
number
of
museums
and
there
are
a
lot
of
artifacts.
N
R
C
O
Chair
and
certainly
supportive
of
councillor
alderman
between
suggesting
their
brand
and
before
that
report
come
back,
but
just
a
bit
more
according
to
cambra,
thanks
to
you
and
your
team
around
the
game
of
thrones
here,
and
especially
even
I
think,
the
involvement
has
been
great
between
the
town
center
and
the
actual
meetings
has
been
done.
The
task
force
for
the
the
town
centre
meetings
are
monthly.
O
I
think
this
has
been
a
great
thing
for
making
sure
that
the
town
centre
and
those
in
business
there
are
part
of
the
whole
journey
of
game
of
thrones,
and
I
know
it
has
been
very
much
appreciated.
I
think,
a
completely
different
atmosphere
and
feel
their
brand,
certainly
credit
to
yourself
and
the
team
who
have
made
that
happen
on
the
game
of
thrones,
who
came
aboard
you've
nearly
bring
them
to
the
meetings
monthly
and
certainly
has
been
a
benefit
to
all
of
us
to
understand.
O
C
R
R
We
now
know
that
on
the
week
commencing
the
21st
of
march,
we
will
know
if
we've
been
shortlisted
down
to
the
last
three
cities
and
following
that,
then
the
judges
would
would
visit
mid-april
and
probably
the
week
commenced
in
the
18th
of
april,
so
we're
starting
to
get
a
clearer
time
steal
going
ahead.
R
So
this
report
very
much
relates
to
to
really
probably
fears
two
of
the
of
the
project,
so
we
have
a
six-week
window
now
to
really
work
further
on
in
the
detail
of
all
of
the
aspects
that
we've
spoken
about,
and
I
would
just
say
just
a
few
points
to
pull
out
from
members
attention
in
terms
of
engagement.
One
of
the
things
we
are
proposing
to
do
would
be
to
take
abc
and
to
to
westminster
and
then
also
to
try
and
do
an
event
within
stormont
to
release
the
profile
of
abc
utilizing.
R
The
mechanism
of
you
get
city
of
culture,
but
effectively
just
to
bring
this
to
a
wider
agenda.
So
that's
something
we're
suggesting.
We
do
too
need
to
look
at
our
communications
and
branding
again
and
clear
and
the
column
seems
been
working
hard
in
this
regard
and
we're
looking
at
refining
that
over
the
next
period
of
times,
communications
is
going
to
be
key
and
just
to
draw
that
out
as
well
and
and
again
just
an
event
that
we're
proposing
to
do
on
the
back
to
again
continue.
R
So
if
we
know
we
are,
we
are
shortlisted
a
report
will
be
brought
back
with
more
detail
and
we'll
need
a
lot
more
conversation
on
that
and
that
may
need
you
know
a
number
of
of
conversations
and
to
make
sure
we've
got
that
right,
because
that's
a
big
fundamental
part
of
that
so
and
so
it's
recommended
that
members
endorse
the
the
forward
work
plan.
Thank
you,
chair.
C
Thank
you
bran
and
just
about
six
weeks
ahead
of
us,
alderman
or
sorry,
counselor
nicholson.
Please.
I
You
have
to
on
thanks
bram
and
you're
on
and
you're
right
sure,
it's
it's
it's
a
mass
of
six
weeks
ahead
of
us
and
and
and
obviously
we've
all
everything
crossed
for
the
next
next
period.
Hopefully
we'll
get
through
to
the
next
stage.
I'm
happy
to
propose
sure
the
the
recommendation.
I
I
think
it
is
important
that
we
do
really
you
know,
sort
of
keep
the
the
the
wheel
turning
and
keep
the
visibility
and
keep
ourselves
to
the
floor,
both
from
the
northern
arm
level
and
and
obviously
uk
wide,
because,
as
I
say,
this
is
a
massive
opportunity
for
our
our
our
borough
and
our
city.
You
know
going
forward
and
and
again
bran.
I
We
understand
that
this
is
like
new
ground
for
for
for
all
of
us
in
in
relation
to
what
we're,
what
we're,
putting
together
and
and
and
and
obviously
we're
all
sort
of
praying
and
fingers
crossed
that
we
get
through
to
the
next
stage,
and-
and
I
know
that
the
work
that
you
guys
have
done
will
be
the
reason
we
get
through
that
next
stage
and
hopefully
go
ahead
and
become
the
the
the
civilian
culture,
but
just
pass
on
the
thanks,
bran
to
all
the
staff
and
and
and
keep
up
the
good
work.
