Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council Governance, Resources and Strategy Committee on Wednesday the 6th April 2023 at 6.30pm in the Council Chamber at Craigavon Civic and Conference Centre.
B
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Welcome
to
hybrid
meeting
of
the
governor's
resources
and
strategy
committee
can
I
ask
everyone
to
please
mute
their
microphones
at
all
time
unless
and
valid
to
speak
by
myself.
For
those
of
you
who
are
physically
on
the
kinds
of
chamber
this
evening.
Can
I
please
remind
you
that
when
you're
speaking
into
your
microphone,
you
need
to
wait
until
you
see
yourself
on
the
screens,
so
the
live.
Feed
can
pick
up
your
comments.
B
If
you
speak
before
your
images
projected
there
was
listing
on
the
live,
feed
or,
if
I
assume
will
not
hear
anything.
You
say
this
is
obviously
particularly
important
in
the
case
of
a
vote
being
required.
Moving.
First,
apologies.
I
have
apologies
from
current
sir
Lavery
and
counselor
Johnson.
Are
there
any
more
that
members
want
to
counselor
hahim.
C
B
D
D
We
will,
of
course,
take
members
through
all
of
these
plans
in
much
more
detail
engine
whenever
the
new
committees
are
up
and
running
again
and
they
will
set
the
context
for
the
future
work
plans
of
the
committeeism
and
of
the
Departments
within
the
council,
as
well.
Also
included
in
the
report
is
a
high
level
summary
diagram
of
the
transformation
program
and
the
project
management
approach,
that's
being
taken
to
that
as
well,
which
is
also
clearly
a
really
essential
and
key
piece
of
work.
D
That
departments
will
be
taking
forward
over
the
next
period
as
well.
So
members,
clearly
quite
quite
a
lot
of
information
in
the
document
happy
to
take
any
questions
at
this
stage,
but
at
several
members
reference,
and
if
you
have
any
questions
about
any
of
the
business
plans,
please
don't
hesitate
to
contact
any
of
the
heads
of
Department
involved
for
anything
specific.
Thank
you,
chair.
E
But
our
officers
put
a
lot
of
time
and
effort
into
making
that
as
a
tremendous
event.
Last
night,
Sega
Hotel
looked
spectacularly
well
congratulate
all
of
the
the
winners
that
that
took
place,
but,
more
importantly,
those
that
organized
the
event
have
to
be
totally
congratulated.
And
I.
Don't
want
this
next
bit
to
take
away
from
that.
But
whilst
I
was
sitting
at
the
table
with
the
Sports,
Forum
and
and
others,
they
actually
raised
their
disappointment
with
me
as
to
why
we
couldn't
be
using
the
Civic
Center.
E
They
said
in
the
past
that
the
food
has
been
excellent,
not
that
there
was
anything
wrong
with
the
single
Hotel
want
to
make
that
very
clear,
but
they
said
the
service,
the
food.
Every
attention
to
detail
from
all
of
the
staff
is
is
excellent
and
the
first
protocol
they
went
to
was
our
Civic
Center
and
what
happened?
E
They
weren't
able
to
use
it
and
did
a
little
bit
of
Investigation
about
it,
and
it
turns
out
that
we
can't
get
staff
and
while
stud
was
very
disappointing
for
that
one
event,
if
we
can't
get
it
for
that
particular
event,
how
many
more
events
are
we
within
that
our
Civic
building
not
being
able
to
cater
for
and
and
sure,
I
think
that's
something
we
need
to
be
really
looking
at
I
mean?
Is
it
a
matter
of?
E
E
But
what
I
would
like
brought
back
is
Sharon
if
it's
possible
or
whoever's
responsible,
for
that
is
how
many
we
have
turned
away
due
to
lack
of
Staffing,
and
you
know
how
many
events
we
have
turned
away
because
we
can't
cater
for
that,
and
so
that's
something
I
would
like
to
say
brought
I'm,
not
sure
chair.
Maybe
your
advice
there
as
to
what,
where
that
could
be
brought
to
and
because
I
don't
want
it
set
and
I,
maybe
not
be
back
again
in
June.
B
You
thank
you
for
that,
and
you
make
a
very
valid
point:
Council
Hensley
everybody
is
going
to
ask
I
think
it
was
in
December
as
what
the
usage
was
of
the
building
and
I
think
it
is
important
that
officers
go
away
and
come
back
and
tell
us
how
many
people
have
been
turned
away,
because
we
should
be
showcasing
this
building
for
an
event
like
last
night
and
that's
no
reference
to
the
excellent
work
with
Siegel
hotel.
But
this
is
a
Civic
headquarters
and
I
think
we
need
to
maybe
officers.
F
Yes
sure
thank
you
for
letting
me
in
on
I.
Think.
The
first
thing
I
would
want
to
say
would
be
to
completely
agree
with
what
country
tensia
said
in
terms
of
the
winners
and
so
on,
at
the
fabulous
and
found
that
was
on
last
night
in
terms
of
the
sports
awards.
Well
done,
everyone
well
done
all
involved,
but
sure
I
would
have
to
say.
I
mean
I.
F
Haven't
listened
to
my
colleagues
contribution
a
few
moments
ago,
I'm
shocked
that
you
know
that
the
State
of
Affairs
has
a
risen
where
we
can't
hold
major
events
like
this
and
I
mean
it
seems
to
me
that
in
2019
I
think
we
held
the
Junior
sports
awards
in
the
mayor's
Hall,
absolutely
full
crowd,
and
so
on
so
I
suppose.
My
question
is:
what
has
changed?
Who
has
lost
the
focus?
You
know
just
what
has
happened
and
sure
I
would
totally
agree
in
terms
of
what
you
said.
F
We
should
be
Showcase
in
this
building
and
I
know
in
the
course
of
my
duties
as
the
deputy
mirror.
I
mean
I
have
people
in
here
virtually
every
week,
different
groups
and
they
they
think
it
is
a
fantastic
building.
I'm
sure
we
are
losing.
We
are
missing
an
opportunity
here,
and
you
know
we
hear
much
of
the
revenue
possession
of
this
organization.
B
Okay,
it
has
been
proposed
by
kind
skirt,
Hensley
segment
yourself,
that
further
information
is
brought
back
to
members
or
back
to
this
Committee
in
relation
to
this
item,
happy
to
leave
it
at
that
agreed.
Thank
you
moving
on
then,
to
agenda
item
four
report
from
head
of
strategy
and
performance
and
Martina
McNulty
is
going
to
take
us
through
4.1.
G
Thank
you
chair
good
evening,
members
members.
This
is
one
of
the
regular
policy
screening
reports
and
attached
as
a
report
for
April
23,
which
includes
policies
screened
and
are
published
on
the
council's
website
between
January
and
March
23
and
their
sex
policies
included
in
the
report
happy
to
take
any
questions,
but
it
does
require
a
decision
to
approve.
Thank
you.
B
B
C
Thank
you,
chair
yeah,
both
4.2
and
4.3.
Council
continues
to
be
committed
to
domestic
abuse,
is
unacceptable
and
everybody's
right
to
live
here
from
free
fear
from
fear
of
abuse
item
4.2
is
a
10-year
strategy
to
replace
the
existing
one,
and
it's
for
approval
council's
been
involved
in
the
consultation
around
this
and
and
working
parties
to
to
set
out
the
details
of
it.
You'll
see
in
the
report.
C
There
are
four
key
strands:
partnership
for
prevention,
support,
Justice
it
outcomes
listed
at
page
21
within
the
document
and
principal
Council
supports
all
of
the
pillars
and
the
outcomes
within
the
strategy
which
will
then
be
said
out
in
a
series
of
action
plans
yearly.
So
the
request,
as
the
council
would
approve
4.2,
which
is
a
10-year
domestic
abuse
and
sexual
violence
strategy.
C
B
E
I
Speak
yes,
no
I
know
I'm
happy
I'm
having
to
post
that
on
I
want
to
apologize
for
not
being
in
the
chamber
this
evening,
but
happy
to
propose.
I've
spoke
to
Gary
Scott
a
number
of
times
and
happy
to
speak
to
him
again.
If
needs
to
be.
This
is
very,
very,
very
much
required
very
much
required
and
happy
to
see
this
going
through.
Thank
you.
C
In
the
same
way
they
can
Avail
of
in
criminal
proceedings
there
are
there
are.
There
are
a
list
of
containers
and
Dr
list
of
of
circumstances,
ranging
from
reports
to
housing,
executive
details,
domestically
support
organizations,
counseling
notes,
councilor.
Basically,
Council
position
is
and
I'm
asking
the
council
to
prove
this,
that
that
cross-examination
should
apply.
But
there's
any
underlying
element
for
massive
abuse,
as
domestic
abuse
is
pervasive
and
that
in
and
of
itself
would
prevent
anybody
from
freely
being
able
to
talk
about
it.
So
it
should.
I
Yes,
chair,
thank
you
for
letting
me
in
thank
you
Gary
for
presenting
this
to
us
this
evening.
It's
a
very
midi
document,
which
it
should
be
it's
a
very
difficult
document
to
read
which
it
should
be
for
all
of
us
and
thank
you
for
bringing
it
to
us
and
giving
us
this
chance
to
go
through
I'm
happy
to
propose
this
chair
because
I
know
that's
what
you're
looking
to
get
the
thing
moved
on
and
I'll
not
linger,
but
anyone.
I
D
B
H
Thank
you
chair
and
evening
members.
Yes,
5.1
is
our
monthly
responses
to
external
consultation
documents
and
attached
as
appendix
one
is
a
published
and
presented
to
committee
for
consideration
this
month's
consultation
responses.
In
addition,
this
month,
appendix
2
is
a
letter
which
was
received
from
fermana
Noma
District
Council
ask
an
ABC
Council
to
respond
positively
to
a
current
consultation
on
the
Southwest
acute
Hospital.
H
The
decision
was
taken
at
committee
last
month
to
note
that
that
consultation,
rather
than
respond
to
it,
but
if
members
are
minded
to
change
the
decision
on
that
the
closing
date
for
response
is
the
10th
of
April
and
I
would
suggest
that
we
do
so
in
form
of
a
ladder
of
support.
So
I'm
asking
for
members
consideration
on
the
recommendations
to
approve
the
consultation
schedule
for
this
one
month
as
appendix
one
and
four
members
consideration
of
the
letter
from
from
Anonymous
Council
as
appendix
2.

agreed.
Thank

In
accordance
with
scheduled
sex
of
the
Local
Government
Act,
we
will
now
be

council.
This
means
that
we'll
be
turning
off
the
public
feed
of
the
meeting.
This
will
be
returned
when
the

restarted.
