D
D
We
have
a
very
packed
agenda
tonight
and
I
just
want
to
try
to
get
through
it
all
as
quickly
as
we
possibly
can
members
just
before.
We
make
a
start.
If
I
can
just
take
a
few
moments
to
pass
on
our
condolences
as
a
counsel
to
counselor
Flaherty's
mother-in-law
and
she
passed
away
after
a
lengthy
illness
and
to
her
and
her
husband
Wayne.
We
want
to
pass
on
our
sincere
sympathies
to
them,
even
though
it
has
been
a
lengthy
illness.
E
Thank
you,
Lord
mayor
and
before
I
begin
can
I
be
associated
with
your
sympathies
to
counselor
and
her
family
on
the
person
of
her
mother-in-law.
Yes,
Lord
mayor
just
in
recent
days,
a
Canon
John
mccagny
has
passed
away.
Cannon
John
was
a
minister
at
St,
Mark's
Church
of
Ireland
in
Irma
for
23
years,
and
he's
remembered
with
immense
affection
by
the
people
of
his
adopted
City.
E
D
F
Thanks,

then
Declarations

Anyone

prior
to

the
housing
executive,

and

okay.
J
D
Okay,
thank
you,
counselor
died.
Anybody
else,
I,
don't
see
any
more
lights
or
indication
online.
So
members
I'm
going
to
hand
over
to.
Let
me
see
who
we
have
here
tonight
from
the
housing
executive
attending
in
person.
We
have
grania
if
you
can
just
indicate
grania,
yes,
John
and
Sinead,
and
members
you've
all
received
this
presentation
in
advance.
So
the
housing
executive
are
aware
that
there's
a
heavy
schedule
tonight
and
that
there
is
going
to
be
a
10-minute
presentation.
Is
it
your
self
Granite
is
starting
off
yes
and
grania.
I
will
notify
you.
D
K
K
Just
to
start
on
the
numbers
and
I
suppose
I
always
say
housing
is
about
numbers,
so
in
terms
of
the
this
particular
Council
area
and
then
and
and
the
number
of
households
and
84
just
over
84
000
households
across
the
borough
and
and
so
our
responsibility
in
terms
of
providing
public
services
to
those
households.
I'll
talk
you
through,
but
also
the
housing
executive,
as
you
know,
is
a
public
landlord.
So
we
manage
just
over
7
300
homes
locally
and
the
scale
of
of
work.
K
Whether
it's,
for
example,
the
retrofit
program
when
I
was
here
last
year.
We
talked
about
that
program
and
that
has
been
very
successful
locally
in
helping
to
create
more
energy,
efficient
homes
and
right
through
to
homelessness,
Services,
affordable,
warmth
and
and
a
range
of
other
programs,
including
supporting
people
which
is
the
housing
support
services.
So
helping
people
to
live
independently
in
their
in
their
homes.
K
We're
we're
also
very
focused
on
ensuring
that
that
investment
in
supporting
people
stays
as
high
as
we
can
possibly
keep
it.
There's
still
a
gap
between
demand
and
supply
for
Housing
Services
housing,
Support
Services.
You
will
know
that
I'm
sure
you
you
hear
that
regularly
and
but
we're
working
very
hard
to
maintain
that
and,
of
course,
and
I'll
come
on
to
it,
and
the
need
for
a
focus
on
homelessness
services
and
temporary
accommodation.
Provision.
K
I
just
want
to
touch
on
those
two
programs,
affordable,
warmth
and
a
really
really
important
program,
and
that
last
year,
a
spend
of
about
16
million
across
Northern
Ireland
and,
as
you'll
see
just
1.85
million
invested
in
342
properties.
That's
a
really
important
program
and
I'm
delighted
that
that
Capital
spend
will
continue
this
year
and,
however,
the
boiler
replacement
scheme
we
bid
and
for
funding
for
that
to
the
department
we
were
unsuccessful.
K
K
So
since
the
pandemic,
the
pandemic
meant
that
a
number
of
people
who
had
informal
sharing
arrangements
and
those
sharing
Arrangements
came
to
an
end
very,
very
quickly
when
the
pandemic
hit,
and
that
meant
that
the
number
of
temporary
accommodation
placements
across
Northern
Ireland
went
from
about
3
000
to
about
nine
thousand
a
year
in
about
a
two-year
period.
So
a
really
really
dramatic
increase
in
the
scale
and
nature
of
temporary
combination
that
has
continued
to
grow.
K
So
we
are
now
seeing
larger
numbers
of
people
coming
to
us
because
they're
losing
tenancies
in
the
private
rental
sector
and
that's
either,
because
landlords
are
leaving
the
sector
or
rents
are
becoming
too
high.
And
so
we
have
a
perfect
storm
in
terms
of
a
housing
need
and
the
need
for
temporary
combination.
I
just
thought,
I'd
show
you
just
some
of
the
figures
that
we
are
spending
and
we'll
spend
this
year
and
last
year
on
temporary
accommodation
Provisions.
So
last
year
we
spent
about
600
000
on
temporary
coming
station
locally.
K
That's
a
really
unusual
figure
for
this
Council
area.
We
would
not
normally
be
in
the
need
to
to
lease
as
much
temper
accommodation
as
we
are
and-
and
you
can
see
the
budget
figures
for
Northern
Ireland
more
generally
and
again,
happy
to
discuss
that
further
under
questions
on
a
more
on
a
more
positive
note,
I
have
to
say,
alongside
that
working
closely
with
yourselves
as
the
planning
Authority
I
have
to
say,
we've
seen
a
much
more
active
program
of
new
builds.
K
So
right
now,
at
the
end
of
the
year
we
have
exceeded
the
number
of
starts
Against,
The,
Five-Year
Plan
program.
So
that's
good
news
and
for
this
Council
area,
it's
very
good
news
for
people
on
the
waiting
list
and
I
think
it's
Testament
to
our
partnership
as
the
housing
authority
and
the
planning
Authority
and
at
the
end
of
March,
there
were
99
new
social
homes
under
construction.
K
But
you
can
see
the
level
of
housing
needs.
We
need
to
keep
going
and
we
need
that
program
to
continue
and
I'm
very
happy.
And
our
colleagues
are
here
to
talk
about
the
work
that
we're
doing
locally
to
ensure
we
do
that,
but
really
really
pleased
to
see
that
we've
exceeded
and
collectively
exceeded.
K
Otherwise
we
may,
we
would
have
had
to
close
it
towards
the
end
of
this
calendar
year
to
new
applications.
So
I'm
happy
to
take
questions
on
that,
but
some
of
you
will
be
asked
around
discretionary
housing
payments
and
please
do
send
members
of
the
public
to
us
if
they
have
any
questions
at
all.
In
relation
to
dhp
final,
a
couple
of
slides,
Lord
mayor
on
those
housing
challenges
that
we
are
collectively
facing,
as
I
said,
very
large
numbers
of
placements
and
temporary
accommodation.
K
That
won't
be
a
surprise
to
some
of
you.
But
what
is
really
worrying
is
our
level
of
Reliance
on
non-standard
accommodation,
so
in
other
words,
hotels
and
bed
and
breakfasts,
and
to
be
really
really
clear.
Nobody
in
the
housing
executive
wants
to
be
placing
people
in
hotels
and
bed
and
breakfast:
that's
that's
not
our
job.
As
housing
professionals.
We
want
to
be
placing
people
in
the
right
homes
and
suitable
accommodation.
K
We
will
only
do
that
in
exceptional
circumstances,
where
there
is
no
no
other
accommodation
available,
but
you
can
see
the
scale
of
need
and
that
is
coming
our
way.
I
I
hope
we
will
be
able
to
work
through
that.
We
have
a
number
of
options
coming
through
and
we
certainly
have
increased
our
supply
of
temporary
accommodation
over
the
last
number
of
years,
but
happy
to
take
questions
on
that
and
you
have
questions
I'm
sure
on
our
plan
program.
Our
investment
program
I'm
happy
to
just
take
that
at
the
end,
in
the
interest
of
time.
K
So
I
think
final
points
from
us
are.
You
know
there
are
a
number
of
opportunities
and
the
fact
that
we've
invested
heavily
in
retrofit
programs
and
is
a
really
good
news
story
for
people
locally
who
are
facing
into
the
winter
and
much
more
focused
on
Energy
Efficiency,
which
I'm
really
pleased
to
see.
We
have
started
250
million
pounds
worth
of
new
works,
and
this
Autumn
and
again
that
gives
us
now
an
opportunity
to
eat
into
some
of
that
backlog
that
has
been
built
up
since
the
pandemic.
K
So
that's
very
good
news
and
it's
a
competitive
environment
now
for
the
construction
industry,
so
that
it
bodes
well
for
contractors
locally,
but
also
subcontractors
and
that's
a
very
good
news
story.
So
look
I'll
finish
there
in
the
interest
of
time
and
giving
everyone
the
opportunity
to
to
ask
questions.
My
colleagues
John
McCartney,
who
you'll
know
and
Sinead
Collins,
are
here
as
well.
So
thank
you.
Lordmer.
L
Thank
you
Lord
mayor
and
thank
you
grania
for
your
presentation.
Indeed,
it
was
a
heck
of
a
lot
of
information.
You
went
through
very
very
quickly,
so
thank
you.
So
I'll
start
with
the
positives
as
I
say
them
I
think,
firstly
Sinead
and
John
and
protector.
Thank
you
for
all
your
work
over
the
past
year
and
I
know.
L
I
think
there
was
a
very
successful
fun
day
actually
recently
that
that
the
housing
exactly
supported
on
the
Lord
mayor,
attended
in
North
Bergen
so
again,
working
with
the
community
has
been
very,
very
positive.
That
being
said,
I
think
our
our
presentation
tonight,
certainly
in
respect
to
North
Logan
in
particular,
the
area
that
I
would
represent
the
social
housing
need
I
think
every
single
year
when
this
Hep
report
comes
to
the
council.
North
organ
is
at
the
top
of
the
top
of
the
charts
on
the
summer.
L
We
don't
want
to
be,
and
that
being
said,
I
know
from
from
speaking
to
yourself
you
needed
and
different
people
over
the
years.
It's
not
straightforward.
There
are
no
simple
answers,
but
I
would
like
some
information
about
any
plans
you
have
or
any
thoughts
you
have
regarding
the
high
numbers.
I
mean
248,
probably
isn't
well,
it
isn't
a
true
reflection,
because
the
amount
of
people
who
just
feel
they
can't
even
apply
because
there's
just
no
point
and
housing
I
mean
I'm
pressing.
The
converted.
L
L
I
suppose
it
sticks
out
is
a
sore
thumb
and
the
array
where
there
is
such
a
high
socialized
needle
I,
don't
particularly
need
you
to
speak
on
that
one
because
it
is
privately
owned
and
I
would
just
like
your
thoughts
on
how
you
would
approach
Dylan
the
the
high
social
housing
need
in
that
area.
Thank
you.
K
That
said,
you
can
do
the
numbers
and
you
can
see
the
Gap
that
exists,
so
we
will
continue
to
first
of
all
make
a
case
through
our
strategy.
Housing
assessment,
we'll
undertake
needs
assessments
where
we
can.
We
work
very
closely
with
associations
to
encourage
them
to
bring
land
forward
and
any
anything
else
that
we
can
do
either
as
a
landlord
ourselves
or
as
a
strategic,
Housing
Authority.
We
certainly
will
do
so
we're
not
taking
our
eyes
off
this.
This
remains
an
absolute
priority.
Sinead
is
there
anything
you'd
like
to
add
that
are
obviously
from
no.
M
Just
to
add
that
North
Logan
is
a
scenario
of
priority
for
us.
Obviously
it's
the
area
of
the
the
house
need
across
this
Council
area.
As
you
said,
The
Five-Year
projected
needed.
March
2023
is
248
units
and
6K
applicants
in
the
wait
list.
403
and
housing
stress
nearly
301
allocations
over
the
past
year.
M
But
in
addition
to
the
proposals
we've
received-
and
we
are
also
Jada
under
Tech-
aside
investigation
study
for
North
Lurgan
next
year,
which
will
focus
on
all
available
lands
across
that
area
and
any
possible
development
opportunities
that
we
can
encourage
housing
associations
to
Tech
up
and,
as
Grande
said,
we
will
publish
and
highlight
that
need
in
the
commission
perspectives
and
also
just
continue
to
highlight
the
skill
of
the
need
with
Council
planners
and
as
they
put
together.
Their
the
draft
plan
strategy
in
the
new
local
development
plan.
That'll
be
hugely
important
as
well.
H
Thank
you,
Nord
Martin.
Thank
you,
Rhonda
for
your
report.
I.
Just
a
couple
of
things
just
wanted
to
ask
about.
You
mentioned
there
at
the
end
of
the
new
contracts
being
issued
today
and
252
million
I
think
it's
somewhere
and
there
isn't
a
9000
bathrooms,
five
thousand
kittens
and
six
and
a
half
thousand
Windows
across
which
is
fantastic.
But
already
today
for
iPhone
rang
a
couple
of
times
with
people
wondering
when
will
that
transfer
Elliot
here?
Do
you
have
any
idea
of
many
homes?
H
K
Yes,
so
yeah,
so
the
the
announcement
today
of
252
million
is
really
welcome.
It
follows
an
18
months
to
two
year
period
of
I
mean
really
unprecedented
inflation,
as
we
all
know,
and
last
year
we
took
a
really
difficult
decision
to
allow
10
contractors
to
walk
away
from
contracts,
and
the
reason
that
was
difficult
was
because
there
were
contractors
who
were
legally
Bound
by
those
contracts
to
deliver
them
some
of
the
contracts.
K
Some
of
the
works
were
on
site,
and
you
know
the
recommendation
we
made
I
made
to
the
board,
which
the
board
accepted
was
not
to
pursue
those
contractors
in
the
courts.
Quite
frankly,
if
we'd
done
that,
we'd
be
doing
that,
instead
of
doing
what
we're
doing
now,
which
is
re-tandering
the
work
and
but
it
has
meant
the
new
works
are
more
expensive
and
because
we
effectively
have
now
had
to
make
up
the
difference
in
terms
of
meeting
the
the
cost
of
new
works.
I
still
think
it's
worth
it.
K
It
was
the
right
decision
for
tenants,
I,
think
tenants,
wouldn't
have
supported
quite
frankly,
further
delays,
because
we've
already
had
the
pandemic
to
respond
to
so
what
we,
when
we
put
our
program
together,
we
look
at.
We
take
a
worst
first
approach.
In
other
words,
we
look
at
those
homes
most
in
need
of
investment
and
then
that
we
build
that
program
up
from
the
most
local
level.
So
every
local
manager
will
speak
to
our
program
teams
and
we'll
put
that
and
we'll
put
that
together.
K
So
I'll
probably
ask
John
just
to
comment
a
little
bit
on
the
on
on
on
local
programs
here,
but
just
to
say
every
Focus
that
we
will
put.
You
know
everything
that
we
can
possibly
do
this
year
in
terms
of
eating
into
backlog,
because
what
I
don't
want
to
do
is
leave
just
because
those
numbers
are
so
big.
252
million
is
a
huge
amount
of
money
and
I've
been
very
clear
today
that
this
will
not
eat
into
old
backlog.
You
know
we
have
a
huge
investment
need
in
our
stock.
K
N
Okay,
I
I
I
can
give
a
few
of
the
local
figures
here.
Two
of
the
the
big
ones
are
bkr,
which
is
your
bathroom
kitchen
and
rewire.
So
there's
going
to
be
three
schemes
in
the
next
in
the
financial
year
of
230
units
and
there's
a
bathroom
scheme
under
the
same
contract
with
83
units,
so
that
will
be
starting
very,
very
quickly,
then
they'll
be
rolled
out
and
then
there'll
be
other
programs
and
schemes
in
the
subsequent
years.
But
that's
test
start
then
making
that
enrolled
immediately
and
quickly
all
the
screams
we
have.
N
We
have
Hayden
contracts
that
will
will
be
going
on.
We
have
doors
progressing,
we
have
ECM
schemes,
are
that's
external
works,
there's
a
bit
of
a
delay
with
them,
because
there
was
a
number
of
just
procurement
issues,
but
that's
being
given
priority
on
that
procurement.
So
it
is
so.
We
would
hope
to
have
a
number
of
procurement
contracts
out
around
the
ECM
works
as
well
very,
very
quickly.
O
N
I'm
familiar
with
Chestnut,
please
yes,
but
the
demolition
of
that
has
just
just
been
approved.
So,
as
you
know,
before
any
demolition,
there's
a
lot
of
additional
working
is
going
to
place.
You
to
address
Services,
make
sure
they're
disconnected
they're
asbestos
Jackson.
That's
that's
all
to
be
done
so
I'm,
aware
of
the
condition
of
the
man
that
they've
got
quite
dilapidated
and
they're
nice
or
on
what
what
would
be
a
main
arterial
route.
So
approval
has
now
been
been
given
to
proceed
with
the
Demolition.
P
Thank
you,
Lord
mayor
and,
like
others,
just
want
to
start
off
by
thanking
all
the
local
staff
right
across
the
board.
I've
always
been
very
helpful
in
progressing,
but
the
casework
data
resolving
issues
or,
if
they're
not
able
to
sort,
they
might
provide
information
background
unless
you,
what
you
know,
result
resolves
tensions
and
things
like
that.
P
Unfortunately,
you
know
every
year
when
the
Northern
Ireland
housing
executive,
present
the
council
and
raise
the
issue
of
the
growing
amount
of
paramilitary
paraphernalia
on
their
properties
in
the
bar
on
Lurgan
in
particular.
Unfortunately,
that
growth
was
continued.
Such
flags,
facades
and
murals
caused
detrimental
harm
to
Residents
and
the
continued
lack
of
action
on
the
removal
only
in
Bowling
those
who
seek
to
Mark
territory
and
control
communities.
P
K
Thank
you.
So,
if
I
give
a
general
comment
and
then
John
can
cover
him
with
the
the
action
we've
taken
locally,
I
suppose
just
to
put
on
the
record
and
be
very
clear
from
my
point
of
view
as
a
public
official
and
as
somebody
who
runs
a
public
landlord,
you
know
any
activity
that
is
harming
our
tenants
is
something
that
we
take
and
The
Wider
Community
is
something
that
we
take
very
very
seriously.
K
We
do
that
as
a
landlord
I
am
on
a
day
and
daily
basis
and
I'm,
also
very,
very
clear
of
my
obligations
and
the
obligations
of
our
organization
in
relation
to
how
we
manage
the
properties
that
were
that
were
responsible
for
and
The
Wider
spaces
around
those
properties.
It
is
an
area
of
absolute
priority
for
the
organization,
and
we
are
also
very
conscious
of
our
obligations
under
the
good
relations
duty
of
of
the
Northern
Ireland
act
and
we're
also
very
conscious
of
our
of
our
wider
legal
obligations.
K
N
We're
familiar
that
there
was
a
number
of
local
incidents
that
got
high.
Prominence,
certainly
wasn't
reflective
of
the
local
communities
and
in
which
that
happened.
But
we
engage
on
a
number
of
levels.
We
have
a
good
relations
officer
who
works
on
on
the
ground
with
the
various
communities
we
are.
We
have
a
community
structure
that
we
engage
with
various
communities
involved
and
in
a
number
of
cases,
are
within
area
we
have
taken
and
we
have
engaged
to
AIDS,
which
is
an
independent
body
which
again
works
with
communities.
N
What
works
with
them
in
terms
of
where
they're
at
engages
with
the
issues
and
the
various
agencies
within
the
local
community.
So
that
is
all
going
on
in
in
the
background.
Sometimes
it
can
be
two
steps
forward
and
three
steps
back,
so
it
can,
but
we're
committed
to
working
with
communities
trying
to
ensure
that
that
their
safe
communities
that
people
can
can
live
and
thrive
in
and
that
work
will
continue
a
lot
with
those
go
on
and
and
the
background
on
scene.
But
it
is
going
on.
Q
Thank
you
very
much,
Madam
Lord.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
the
presentation.
It
was
just
sorry.
Could
you
give
me
some
information
on
the
I
see
the
the
affordable
worth
home
scheme
has
now
moved
on
to
the
housing
executive?
It's
wondering,
could
you
explain
sort
of
what
additional
measures
that
these
are
going
to
bring
to
the
table
and
indeed
across
Northern
Ireland,
but
obviously
they're
going
to
know
what
sort
of
ABC
council
is
going
to
sort
of
get
in
terms
of
finances
and
what
just
an
overall
picture
please
thank
you.
K
Thank
you
very
happy
to
comment
on
that.
So
the
affordable
warmth
scheme
up
to
last
month
effectively
was
a
scheme
that
was
run
jointly
between
councils
and
the
northern
housing
executive
and
essentially
how
it
worked
was
that
applicants
would
come
to
councils
and
councils
would
commence
the
application
and
would
refer
that
application
across
to
the
housing
executive.
K
We
would
take
it
from
there
and
so
on
and
do
the
assessment
and
of
the
home
and
the
department
for
communities
took
the
decision
and
to
turn
this
into
a
single
provider
scheme
so
to
reduce
first
of
all
the
targeting.
So
it
was
an
area-based
approach,
so
targeted
to
specific
types
of
properties
in
specific
areas
where
people
were
most
likely
to
be
fuel
poorer,
so
they
reduced
the
targeting
and
they
took
the
decision
then
that
the
housing
executive
would
have
overall
responsibility.
K
So
from
the
first
point
of
contact
from
the
applicant
right
through
to
the
completion
of
of
its
game
and
we've
taken
that
on
at
the
request
of
the
department
and
we'll
haven't
quite
quickly,
I
think
a
number
of
issues
arose
I
think
most
like
mostly
down
to
Capital
requirements.
So
this
is
a
very
tough
year
in
terms
of
budget,
so
we
were
asked
to
take
that
on
by
the
department
in
terms
of
what
it
means
for
clients.
I
think.
K
In
the
longer
term,
but
just
to
give
an
example,
I
mean
we
are
getting
hundreds
of
calls
on
a
daily
basis
from
households
who
are
interested
in
affordable
warmth.
We
have,
as
you
know
and
I'm
very
happy
to
furnish
you
with
more
information.
We
have
an
independent
energy
advice
service
in
the
housing
executive,
so
anybody
any
member
of
the
public
who
has
need
for
energy
advice
can
call
us.
We
have
energy
advisors
working
really
hard
and
really
effectively
we're
going
into
the
winter
period
And.
K
This
is
a
pressured
fund
and
I'm
grateful
for
your
question
and
as
I
say,
I
hope
at
the
end
of
this.
The
customer
will
still
see
this
as
a
seamless
application
process
and,
though
I
think
both
our
organizations,
councils
and
the
housing
exactly
have
to
move
quickly.
To
respond
to
quite
quite
a
change.
K
So
yeah,
so
no
it's
it's
a
self-referral!
Now
to
the
housing
executive
directly
but
and
again
I
mean
you
know,
I
think
very,
very
happy
and
I
hope
we
have.
We
have
done
this
anyway,
but
I'm
happy
to
follow
up
if
you've,
if
you'd
like
to
encourage
anyone
to
contact
the
energy
advice
service,
we're
very
pleased
to
to
receive
them.
But
no
it's
a
it's
an
end.
It's
in
each
individual
applicant
there
has
to
refer
themselves
essentially
come
forward
to
us.
Yeah,
okay,.
D
All
right,
grania,
John
and
Sinead
can
I.
Thank
you
again
for
coming
in
and
I
mean
it's
a
huge
remit
and
there's
so
many
questions
that
but
I
mean
members
know
they
have
the
contact
numbers
and
we
can
contact
you
directly.
So
thank
you
again
for
for
coming
in
and
for
all
of
that
information.
Okay,
members,
agenda
item,
5.1
committee
minutes
of
the
environmental
services
could
all
counselor
hockey
and
are
you
content
to
propose
that
and
Alderman
Barry?
Are
you
content
to?
Second?
A
Yes,
thank
you
for
letting
me
in
on
this
under
es
2312
and
as
concerning
Brown
bins,
I'm
I'm,
not
sure
other
members,
but
certainly
very
few
constituents
have
approached
me
asking
for
replacement
Brian
bins
over
the
summer
there,
and
the
issue
seems
to
be
that
they're,
cracking
or
splitting
and
this
results
and
how
soldiers
receiving
our
will
not
empty
anymore
type
of
notice
until
there's
a
replacement,
God
and
I
I.
Suppose
my
ask
is
that
officers
could
bring
a
report
who
the
next
as
committee
on
this
issue,
I
suppose
you
know?
D
D
G
D
D
O
D
Thank
you
and
members,
just
in
case
you're,
wondering
we'll
be
picking
up
later
under
agenda
item
six
for
decisions
and
also
then,
additionally,
under
confidential,
and
for
the
rest
of
that
that
particular
committee,
so
Moving
On,
We're
content
with
that
members.
Yes,
on
an
agreement.
Okay,
thank
you!
So
we're
moving
on
now
to
agenda
item
number
four
Economic
Development
counselor,
Kevin
Savage.
Yes,
your
lights
on!
Thank
you.
S
Yeah
happy
with
accuracy
and
that's
Lord
know
if
you
want
to
agree
that
I
just
have
a
moderate
reason
possible:
yep,
Amazon
edr66-2023
and
it's
in
relation
to
the
Centenary
Stones
now
I
know.
The
committee
have
made
a
recommendation.
The
council
but
I'm
just
not
sure
that
it's
the
right
recommendation.
S
I,
don't
like
to
do
this,
but
I
want
to
look
at
it
again
and
have
the
council
consider
and
the
decision
that
we
made
and
just
simply
Repose
Lord
mayor
that
I'm
sure
the
numbers
have
read:
read
the
minutes
and
read
the
discussions
that
took
place
in
terms
of
what
was
agreed
and
I.
Don't
think
it's
probably
the
right
way
forward.
So
I
just
want
to
propose
that
we
go
ahead
with
option.
200
ask
members
to
reconsider
because
I
think
option
two
years
was
the
out
of
the
Committees
the
cleanest
way
to
do
this.
S
This
has
been
in
discussions
for
some
three
years
now
and
it'll
be
good
to
see
the
next
days
done,
but
I
think
option
Tuesday
when
you
were
probably
to
move
it
forward
and
within
that
recommendation
that
we
afford
officers
and
a
bit
of
flexibility
within
the
areas
within
the
times
and
Villages
of
whereabouts.
The
placement
of
the
stones
actually
goes,
but
at
least
we
can
maybe
do
that
through
the
working
group
and,
for
example,
if
that's,
if
that's
an
order,
ordinary,
propose
a
reconsider
and
go
with
option
to
you.
P
Thank
you,
Lord
mayor
I'm,
not
coming
on
the
third
dot
proposal.
As
mentioned
at
committee,
there's
there's
difficulties
with
option
two,
even
as
outlined
by
officers.
There
will
be
equality
impact
regarding
option.
Two
has
been
said:
it's
been
spoken
about
for
a
long
time,
I
think
officers,
recommendation
committee
option
for
about
the
three
Civic
sites
and
then
put
it
out
for
to
the
community
to
select
the
rest
of
the
sites
seems
to
be
the
appropriate
option.
P
D
Members
I
sense
we're
not
in
agreement,
then
just
based
on
what
kinds
the
library
has
said.
So
it
was
agreed
within
the
minutes
of
option.
Three
counselor
Baxter
has
proposed
seconded
by
Alderman
Barry
option
two,
so
I'm
assuming
we're
not
in
agreement.
No
we're,
not!
Okay
members
rights
recorded
vote;
okay,
yep,
so
members
I'm
going
to
try
to
do
this
without
coming
back
to
me
to
call
you
in
because
we've
only
got
two
I
might
content
to
do
that.
You
don't
be
calling
everybody
in
looking
at
the
screen.
D
I
O
S
U
N
J
H
D
I
X
T
E
A
Z
G
F
D
Q
Q
It's
absolutely
fantastic
that
we're
getting
all
these
different
groups
set
up,
but
I
I
believe
that
they
should
also
intertwine
with
the
counselors,
because
we're
the
ones
who
are
getting
the
phone
calls
on
a
Saturday
night
on
the
Friday
night
regarding
of
the
social
behavior.
So
my
proposal
would
be
that
we
form
part
of
that,
as
the
dear
members
for
each
area
can
also
be
involved,
or
at
least
invaded
to
those
working
groups,
because,
as
I
said,
we're
the
ones
that
are
getting
that
in
the
neck
from
members
of
the
public.
Q
O
D
I
D
Okay,
members
is
there's
been
a
proposal
on
a
second,
or
did
you
get
Genie
Clarity
on
what
the
proposal
was
Carol,
all
good,
okay
members,
anyone
in
disagreement
with
that?
No
okay,
so
we're
all
in
agreement
with
that
Alderman
a
bar
and
Alderman
Burns.
Okay,
thank
you,
members,
any
other
items
before
we
move
on.
Okay,
thank
you
for
that
and
item
agenda
item
is
5.5,
so
counselor
Michael
and
counselor
Kyle
moutry.
Could
you
possibly
for
the
accuracy
of
minutes?
Thank
you.
Just
call
you
in.
X
AA
AA
I
mean
the
most
of
the
targets
failed
to
have
been
hit,
and
a
lot
of
the
reasoning
given
is
around
the
fact
that
there's
no
designator
customer
relations
officer
and
other
staff
vacancies
now
some
of
the
very
most
basic
stuff
hasn't
been
attended
to
within
this
report,
and
this
is
about
front
facing
with
the
customers
that
use
our
facilities
across
the
borough.
I
mean
you
can
fully
resonate
with
them.
AA
Whenever
you
find
people
are
coming
to
you
in
relation
to
the
facility,
we
have
across
the
road
here
and
they
can't
get
anybody
to
answer
the
phone
and
that's
a
continual
issue,
all
the
time,
but
can
I
ask,
are
the
possessions
now
filled
or
when
are
they
going
to
be
filled?
And
when
is
this
going
to
be
a
priority
for
the
repairs
in
this
Borough.
G
U
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
Alderman
maytree.
Yes,
we
I
suppose
at
the
point
in
time
that
that
report
was
written.
It
was
at
the
end
of
year,
so
it
was
at
the
end
of
the
financial
year
and
since
that
a
number
of
these
actions
have
moved
on.
I
think
there's
also
an
issue
around
until
you
have
completely
finished
off
on
the
actions.
They
remain
as
a
red
as
opposed
to
moving
into
green,
so
they
are
most
of
those
were
substantively
moved
forward
and
but
I'm
content
to
pick
up
individual
issues
with
you
separately.
D
Thank
you,
Charlene
content
with
that
Alderman
my
treat
okay,
folks,
any
other
I,
don't
see
any
other
lights
on.
So
we're
happy
enough
to
move
on
members
agenda
item
5.6
I
just
need
a
proposer
and
a
secondary.
There
was
actually
no
recommendations
in
this,
so
it's
just
for
the
accuracy
of
the
minutes
and
that's
Alderman
bar
and
Alderman
Canada.
You
can
under
foreign.
D
C
D
D
Okay,
yeah
well
well
noted.
Okay,
thank
you,
members,
any
other,
as
she's
raised
content
to
move
on.
Okay,
yeah.
Thank
you
all
right
agenda
item
six
there
and
chief
Executives
report
and
the
first
item
for
decision
was
actually
Neil's
going
to
present
this
I'm
assuming
the
chamber
are
online,
not
sure
where
you
are
tonight.
Oh,
it's
online,
okay,
Nate
I'm,
going
to
to
call
you
in.
We
did
make
a
start
on
this
one
and
that's
whenever
we
had
technical
difficulties.
So
it's
over
to
you
again
just.
T
Okay,
thank
you
Lauren
mayor.
Thank
you.
Members
in
November,
2020
Council
approved
the
public
consultation
of
the
draft
change
in
places
policy.
The
final
policy
was
drafted
and
attached
an
appended
as
appendix
one
for
approval.
It's
now
recommended
that
members
approved
the
change
in
places
policy.
V
D
U
Thank
you,
chair
and
good
evening
members.
You
will
have
in
front
of
you
an
updated
service
level
agreement
for
local
government
resilience.
This
is
an
SLA
between
this
console
and
the
other
10
councils,
as
we
are
the
employer
Council
for
the
service.
This
Arrangement
has
been
in
place
since
2019.
However,
some
Amendments
have
been
made
to
the
SLA.
That's
in
order
to
enhance
and
strengthen
the
agreement
for
us
as
the
host
Council,
the
SLA
ensures
greater
Clarity
on
the
role
of
the
resilience
team
and
that
ensures
that
emergency
preparedness
is
enhanced
and
optimized.
U
D
It
really
isn't
that
complex.
Thank
you,
counselor
Alexander
and
thank
you
counselor
Evans.
Thank
you
very
much.
Members
agenda.
Item
number
seven
may
not
be
as
difficult
it's
just
a
proposer
and
a
secondary
for
the
schedule
of
documents
requiring
corporate
sale
7.1
to
7.5
can
we
propose
in
second
ozone
block.
Thank
you
counselor.
Her.
D
D
Just
let
me
check
members
here:
I
have
it
on
the
military.
Sorry,
members,
that's
just
a
mirror.
So
Ryan
have
a
seat.
My
apologies!
It
was
only
seven
minutes
here.
It's
just
gone.
We
got
confused
here.
Okay,
no
problem
at
all
right
notice,
emotion,
8.1
and
I
will
hand
over
now
to
counselor
Ferguson.
B
But
thank
you
Lord
mayor
tonight,
I'm
asking
my
colleagues
in
the
chamber
to
support
my
motion
on
the
re-prioritization
of
the
A1
through
safety
upgrades.
As
you
will
all
be
aware,
in
a
recent
letter
to
this
chamber,
we
were
informed
of
a
reprioritization
of
the
phase
two
upgrades
by
the
department
for
infrastructure.
The
public
have
waited
much
too
long
in
this
project
to
be
completed.
B
B
A
public
inquiry
was
held
in
2020
and
the
inspector
of
the
public
inquiry.
Kevin
Chambers
recommended
that
the
Improvement
scheme
be
expedited
as
quickly
as
possible.
He
said,
and
I
quote
a
busy
roadway
of
such
strategic
importance
will
always
be
prone
to
the
occurrence
of
serious
accidents,
but
the
serious
and
fatal
accident
statistics
for
this
road
show
that
the
proposed
improvements
are
an
urgent
requirement.
B
As
a
result,
in
January
21,
the
van
infrastructure
Minister
Nicola
Malin,
announced
that
the
phase
two
Road
Improvement
should
progress.
In
fact,
when
the
Newry
bypass
was
opened
in
2010,
the
phase
two
upgrades
were
already
in
planning
then,
but
yet
13
years
later,
despite
the
public
inquiry
and
previous
ministerial
approval,
we
Face
continued
delays
and,
unfortunately,
a
reprioritation,
a
re-prioritization
of
this
much
needed
route.
B
This
journey
has
been
an
emotional
roller
coaster
for
those
who
have
lost
family
and
friends
and
for
those
who
passionately
campaign
to
improve
this
road
so
that
no
other
family
has
to
face
losing
a
loved
one.
Let's
just
remind
ourselves
of
the
phase
2
safety
improvements.
It
would
see
all
gaps
in
central
reservations,
closed
between
Hillsborough
and
brickland,
four
new
flyovers
and
the
prevention
of
right
turns
from
more
than
20
side
roads.
The
completion
of
this
work
will
save
lives
and
done
sooner
would
have
saved
lives
already
lost
on
this
stretch
of
road.
B
The
economic
potential
of
their
throat
hasn't
been
fully
explored
due
to
the
lack
of
investment
and
vision.
The
Department's
response
to
the
public
inquiry
estimated
an
economic
return
with
a
benefit
to
cost
ratio
of
2.1,
representing
a
significant
contribution
to
gva,
given
the
high
Capital
costs
of
infrastructure
investment,
the
progression
of
this
road
would
unlock
economic
potential
for
our
Borough
and
accelerate
our
potential
as
a
growth
Corridor,
with
good
access
to
the
A
and
M1.
B
B
I
would
ask
that
my
colleagues
in
this
chamber
support
my
motion
to
recognize
the
urgent
need
for
infrastructure
upgrades
the
strong
public
sentiment
that
exists
for
improvements
and
the
public
frustration
at
years
of
delay
together.
I
would
like
us
to
show
Collective
leadership
in
this
issue
and
lead
the
local
government
charge
to
represent
the
views
of
our
residents.
Improved
safety
on
this
route
will
save
lives.
Thank
you,
Lord
mayor.
D
Thank
you,
conster
Ferguson,
and
just
for
the
accuracy
of
the
minutes,
Council
Ferguson.
Would
it
be
possible
for
you
to
email
that
that
you've
read
out
to
Carol,
but
it
was
quite
detailed
and
it'll
be
much
easier
for
her
to
do.
The
minutes
is
that
okay,
thank
you.
Counselor
Johnston
you're,
going
to
be
the
seconder.
W
Thank
you
Lord
Mark.
Remember
this
motion
is
about
insurance.
We
do
not
lose
sight
of
the
importance
of
road
safety
along
one
of
the
most
significant
and
busiest
roads
in
Northern
Ireland.
The
Strategic
importance
of
the
A1
cannot
be
overstated.
It
is
a
major
cross-border
Corridor
on
this
island
on
a
key
transport
link
for
many
people
living
in
rural
areas,
particularly
around
my
own
area
of
flagon
River
with
many
years
in
the
road
for
their
daily
community.
W
Road
Safety
should
be
a
number
one
priority
for
our
executive
and
for
the
Department
for
infrastructure.
The
proposed
closing
of
gaps
along
there,
one
the
introduction
of
a
continuous
Central
Reserve
safety
barrier
and
the
building
of
new
grades
separator
Junctions
will
undoubtedly
enhance
Road
Safety
along
their
one.
Not
only
that,
but
the
proposed
building
of
Park
and
Ride
facilities
will
make
public
transport
a
more
accessible
and
suitable
alternative
for
residents
within
ABC
and
surrounding
the
areas.
This
will
not
only
lessen
congestion
but
also
help
with
environmental
targets.
W
W
That
is
why
we
are
calling
for
the
phase
two
upgrades
to
be
implemented
as
soon
as
an
executive
is
restored
and
funding
can
be
released.
This
is
a
cross-council
issue
that
affects
all
of
us
and
the
constituents
that
we
represent
and
we
want
to
see
the
Airborne
cfd
improvements
starter
as
soon
as
possible.
Thank
you.
Lordmer.
E
G
E
Him
read
what
she
has
said:
having
lost
her
song
card
along
with
many
others
around.
That
would
be
camped
but
feel
an
anger
and
disappointment
that
families
have
to
come
before
or
imagine
to
the
public
and
tell
of
their
story
and
yet,
and
we
still
have
an
inability
in
this
part
of
the
world
to
get
a
project
like
this
over
the
lane.
It
is
imperative
that
it
happens
and
it
happens
as
soon
as
possible
and,
as
I
said
I'd
like
to
support
both
the
the
words
and
the
sentiments
of
the
motion.
R
And
Johnson
for
bringing
forward's
emotion,
the
figures
mentioned
by
counselor
Ferguson,
very
Stark
in
terms
of
accidents
and
fatalities.
You
know
yesterday's
last
month
and
I
think
we
all
came
at
the
conclusion
that
it
was
very
disappointing.
This
work
is
now
more
or
less
putting
a
long
finger
and
we
all
know
how
dangerously
everyone
is.
It's
a
road
as
I
said
last
month
that
I
tried
to
avoid
using
it's.
It's
just
an
author
wrote
on
the
the
fatalities
on
it.
R
H
But
that
hasn't
been
the
case
for
many
on
that
road.
So
we
do
want
to
put
our
sympathies
with
them
at
this
time
and
it's
something
that
I
think
it's
sad
to
see
that
this
progress
has
not
been
me
in
this
project.
This
is
certainly
something
that
it's
not
due
to
a
lack
of
political
will
with
I
think
all
parties
are
agreed
on
that
the
substance
needs
to
be
on
this
road.
So
we
do
support
this
motion
tonight.
We
want
to
thank
those
who
have
brought
us.
Thank
you.
Lordmer.
I
Thank
you,
Lord
mayor
and
I
certainly
support
this
motion
coming
forward.
I
had
have
been
campaigning
on
this
road
for
almost
28
years
now
it
has
been
a
serious
issue
rate
from
then,
and
we
were
fortunate
to
get
the
flyovers
and
the
underpasses
a
number
of
years
ago
and
it
did
help
reduce
the
accidents
at
certain
Junctions
I.
Think
it
really
is
disappointing
that
this
has
been
stopped
for
now.
I
Maybe
if
there
is
a
government
up
and
running,
we
may
get
it
reprior
prioritized,
which
is
something
that
we
do
need,
there's
what
30
40
000
Vehicles
use
it
every
day
and
it's
it's
like
a
Motorway,
but
unfortunately
there's
too
many
crossover
points
has
has
been
noted
here.
So
I
would
certainly
support
the
motion.
Okay,.
D
B
Thank
you
Lord
mayor
and
thank
you
for
the
support
around
the
chamber
from
councilor
hand
and
councilor
Savage,
Alderman,
Greenfield,
Alderman,
Burns
and
your
respective
parties.
We
are
all
in
agreement
that
this
is
a
extremely
important
issue
that
has
been
empowering
for
a
very
long
time
and
I.
Think
the
collective
effort
from
ABC
council
tonight
is
something
that
I'm
very
proud
of
and
I
hope
that
every
member
in
this
chamber
can
be
proud
of
that.
B
D
Y
And
thank
you
very
much.
Lord
mayor,
I'm,
sure
you're
not
surprised
to
see
this
one
on
the
minute.
It's
a
very
timely
issue,
it's
a
very,
very
hard
to
escape
from
from
the
minute
it's
everywhere
and
it's
a
serious
concern.
So
I'm
calling
on
colleagues
here
in
the
chamber
tonight
to
support
me
in
this
motion
that
we're
calling
on
this
console
to
form
working
group
or
kosari,
calling
on
the
local
government
Association
to
immediately
I'll
stress
the
word
immediately.
Y
In
order
to
hold
these
departments
and
agency
is
accountable
for
the
development
of
a
Time
bind
and
targeted
strategy
to
address
the
prayer,
water
quality
and,
in
particular,
the
impact
of
the
toxic
green
algae.
That's
a
fact
in
lochner
that
impact
also
is
on
the
environment,
the
Resonance
of
the
lock
businesses
and
recreational
users.
Y
D
X
X
C
Thank
you,
Lord
Mur,
and
thank
you
to
councilor,
mccomball,
Walker
and
counselor
for
bringing
this
motion
to
full
Council
of
segment.
This
is
such
an
important
issue
and
it's
something
that
honestly
more
people
need
to
be
talking
about
and
that
people
need
to
be
taken
seriously
situation
in
lochner
and
then
the
waterways
around
this
country.
Quite
frankly,
it's
not
in
short
of
a
Public
Health
crisis,
and
we
must
act
swiftly
to
deal
with
the
problem
that
we're
faced
with
I
think
we
need
to
start
by
making
one
thing
very
clear
as
well.
C
We
refer
to
it
as
blue
green
algae.
It
is,
in
fact
highly
toxic
cyanobacteria
and
it's
been
allowed
to
spread
at
an
alarming
rate
with
new,
meaningful
intervention.
It's
choking
the
lake
that
lies
at
the
heart
of
this
country.
It's
impacting
our
drinking
water,
it's
killing,
wildlife
and
damaging
the
environment,
and
it's
without
a
doubt
halving
and
will
continue
to
have
here
in
public
in
the
future.
C
This
problem
has
been
born
of
ignorance
and
neglect
for
decades
and,
as
such,
we'll
take
radical
steps
with
a
collaborative
effort
from
multiple
agencies
to
even
begin
solving
the
problem.
We
cannot
set
idle
and
hope
that
someone
will
deal
with
this
issue
any
longer
as
a
council,
we
need
to
be
proactive,
we
need
to
be
in
the
front
foot
and
we
need
to
make
sure
other
Council
areas
and
government
agencies
are
taking
this
issue
seriously.
C
I've
spoken
to
campaigners,
fishermen,
swimmers
and
constituents
in
the
borough,
and
there
is
deep
concern
that
we
are
watching
lochner
die
before
our
very
own
eyes.
In
ABC.
We
have
a
duty
to
make
sure
that
people
in
this
Borough
who
use
our
Council
amenities,
are
protected
and
are
safe.
This
is
why,
last
month,
I
called
for
a
report
under
the
impact
of
this
blue
green
algae
on
our
Council
premises.
So
we
as
a
council
can
better
understand
the
issue
and
we
can
ensure
that
the
public
in
our
area
are
safe.
C
One
thing
that
is
clear
from
this
is
that
the
current
strategy
and
the
current
framework
we
have
in
place
is
not
sufficient.
It's
just
not
working.
Polluters
carry
on
pollutant
and
the
problem
gets
worse
year
after
year
after
year,
we
need
independent
regulation
and
we
need
significantly
harsher
fans
and
punishments
for
rule
Breakers.
As
I've
already
said,
the
existence
of
the
existing
systems
and
policies
have
proved
themselves
to
be
inadequate
and
not
fit
for
purpose
in
resulting
situation.
C
We
now
find
ourselves
in
this
is
why
I'm
seeking
to
also
add
an
amendment
to
this
motion
of
councilor,
mcconville,
Walker
and
counselor
permit.
My
Amendment
would
be
as
follows.
This
Council
also
supports
the
creation
of
an
independent,
Environmental,
Protection
Agency
at
such
a
time
when
the
ni
executive
is
back
up
and
running.
This
independent
agency
would
act
as
an
independent
regulator
to
ensure
compliance
with
environmental
law.
Thank
you.
D
G
Y
D
C
D
D
Counselor
Alexander,
could
you
email
that
to
Wendy
now
you
please,
and
my
understanding
is
the
answer
to
that-
is
no
just
while
we're
waiting
for
counselor
Alexander
to
email
that
to
one
day
counselor.
My
understanding
is
that
there's
a
few
extra
things
that
you
had
added
on
when
you
were
seconding
so
I'm
just
wondering
was
that
and
was
that
supposed
to
be
or
I'm
just
because
it's
changing
the
notice
of
motion
the
wording
on
that
or
is
it?
D
G
D
G
D
Right,
counselor,
you
see
you've
indicated.
Perhaps
is
it
on
this
point?
It's
just
we're
leading
we're
needing
Clarity
on
what
councilor
Alexander
is
proposing
on
this
amendment,
because
it's
not
in
our
gift
to
be
able
to
do
this
right,
so
I'm
going
to
call
Consular
Lottery
and
if
it's
on
the
same
point,
thank
you.
P
Thank
you
Lord
mayor
and,
unfortunately
thank
you
to
all
the
speakers.
Councilman
combo,
Walker
and
Country
Mountain
for
bringing
us
a
very
important
motion
forward
and
I'm
going
to
Alexander
for
his
remarks.
I'm
happy
to
set
the
second
of
as
well,
but
just
just
on
the
point
of
what
we
can
and
can't
do.
We
can
certainly
Lobby
or
encourage
things
you
know
with
emotional
on
A1.
We
can't
create
throughout
ourselves.
In
this
Borough
or
I'll,
say
we
say:
we've
already
got
the
job
done
a
long
time
ago.
P
You
know
we're
calling
for
the
Environmental
Protection
Agency.
So
like
a
new
decade,
new
approaches,
I
understand
great
Bell
parties
sooner
implemented
the
better,
and
you
only
have
to
take
a
look
at
the
bank,
sir,
for
the
last
name
and
so
on
to
see
what
has
been
mentioned.
You
know
by
Contour
model
and
Country
Alexander.
What
we're
doing
now
he's
not
good
enough
when
we
need
a
bit
more
proactive
action,
I
think
am
I
just
calling
for
you
know
that
independent
Environmental
Protection
Agency,
to
be
set
up
whenever
the
exact
is
back
up
enrollment.
P
G
D
Z
See,
thank
you
Lord
Mur.
Listen.
It
probably
comes
as
no
surprise
that
a
Crossing
these
benches
we're
appalled,
but
what
we've
seen
unfolden
in
in
Loch,
nay
over
this
last
week's
weeks
and
months,
because
we
could
say
that
the
locks
Jewel
and
the
crane
of
this
Council,
and
certainly
this
the
South
Shore
anyway
for
sure
and
to
see
what
has
happened
is
is
awful
and
some
of
us
have
witnessed
it
in
person
and
we've
seen
some
of
the
photos
and
video
footage
and
so
on.
Z
What
do
we
say
as
well
as
as
we've
listened
to
the
experts,
it
seems
to
have
been
The
Perfect
Storm,
as
it
were
in
terms
of
the
weather,
early
season,
water
temperature
and
the
invasive
muscles,
the
zebra
mussels
as
well.
That,
ironically,
seem
to
be
cleaning
the
water
which
is
causing
causing
some
of
the
problems
as
well,
but
also
suppose
the
nitrates
has
been
referred
to
and
and
so
on
and
suppose.
D
Account
we
can
only
check
one
Amendment
at
the
time:
okay,
I'm
just
I'm,
getting
it
that
that's
it
all.
We
can
deal
with
at
the
time
so
members
if
you're
content
we're
going
to
take
a
time
into
German
and
then
councilman
Congo
Walker.
You
can
have
a
chat
with
counselor
Alexander,
okay
members
and
those
that
are
zooming
in
we're
just
going
to
take
a
short
Amendment.
So.
D
That's
great,
thank
you
for
that.
Okay,
members.
Now
that
has
become
the
new
substantive
motion
all
right,
but
we
also
know-
and
we
all
agreed
with
that-
do
we
we're
not
okay
right,
we're
not
I,
know
the
counselor.
Mcelrath
wants
to
come
in
with
another
Amendment,
but
is
that?
Is
that
the
do
you
not
agree
with
this
amendment
done?

Thank
you,
Lord
Meryl
make
this
quick
I'm
just
noticing
times
taken
on.
It
was
just
really
to
thank
you
for
thank
you
very
much
to
my
alliance
colleague
here
beside
me
for
your
detailed
contribution
and
I
Echo
the
sentiments
of
kinds
of
Alexandra
of
kind.
Sir
magarath.
He
also
pointed
out
hi
Dara.
The
situation
is
and
pointed
to
the
urgency
of
addressing
this
issue
and
just
to
say
thank
you
for
your
support.
I
think
everyone's
generally,
on
the
same
page,
so
I
thought
it
is
an
issue
that
needs
to
be
addressed.

As
members
will
know,
this
Council
as
a
partner
Council
within
east
border
region
and
EBR,
is
currently
the
the
lead
partner,
along
with
other
local
authorities
in
Scotland
and
the
Republic
of
Ireland,
in
an
initiative
which
is
currently
ruling
out
new
electric
vehicle
charging
points
throughout
the
Region's
mentioned,
our
ABC
Council
area
should
have
been
the
recipient
of
a
number
of
new
charging
points.
Sadly,
a
lack
of
electricity
credit
capacity
within
our
Council
array
has
resulted
in
our
Borough.
A
Getting
no
new
points
under
this
new
initiative
and
I
would
have
to
say
that
despite
the
Valiant
efforts
of
our
Council
officers
and
I
would
pay
a
tribute
to
all
that
they
have
done
behind
the
scenes
on
this.
It
just
wasn't
possible
in
terms
of
the
capacity
that
is
within
the
Grid
in
arbora
reputationally,
Lord
myrrh.
