Thank
you
very
much,
councilor
leaks.
We
should
begin
a
new
season
here
in
Basingstoke.
I
just
want
to
reflect
on
what
those
words
behind
councilor
leagues
actually
mean.
What
does
it
mean
to
be
steadfast
in
service
now,
if
you're
newly
elected
and
perhaps
wondering
how
you're
going
to
live
up
to
that,
I
want
to
reassure
you
that
a
bunch
of
Misfits
who
formed
the
early
church
were
completely
dysfunctional.
B
For
example,
Jesus
chose
James
and
John,
who
are
called
the
sons
of
thunder,
not
because
they
were
good
at
forecasting
the
weather,
but
because
they
had
anger
issues.
He
chose
Simon
Peter,
who
was
frequently
wrong,
but
never
in
doubt
and
I
expect.
You
know
people
like
that
very
irritating
people
and
he
chose
Andrew.
Who
was
perfect.
You
never
hear
anything
bad
about
Andrew
again
very
irritating.
B
B
This
wasn't
the
beautiful
people,
but
this
was
a
ragtag
bunch
of
Misfits,
with
different
personalities
and
different
politics
who
managed
to
form
an
organization
that
many
of
our
laws
today
are
based
on
and
an
organization
that
continues
to
change
the
course
of
world
history.
So
how
do
they
do
it?
Well,
Jesus
tells
them
through
service.
They
become
servant
leaders
because
it's
only
in
that
humility
that
they
demonstrate
their
Authority
and
on
the
night
before
his
death,
he
gives
them
one
command.
He
tells
on
the
secret
of
service,
and
it's
simply
this
love
one.
B
B
B
B
Loving
Lord,
you
call
us
to
love
one
another,
as
you
have
loved
us,
keep
us
steadfast
in
that
service
to
love
one
another,
and
the
communities
in
this
Borough
help
us
to
use
the
gifts
you
give
us
for
the
people
that
need
us
help
us
to
see
their
need
and
reach
out.
Beyond
ourselves,
our
institutions
to
the
very
margins
of
society.
D
A
Second
year
by
the
deputy,
all
in
favor,
please
show
I,
agree.
Okay,
announcements
can
I,
welcome
all
new
councilors
and
all
councilors
who
are
who
are
returning
and
hope
that
you
have
an
enjoyable
time
and
managed
to
succeed
in
what
you
wish
to
do.
But
thank
you
and
I
have
one
more
announce
that
I'm
moving
items,
14
and
15.
A
A
G
Good
evening,
Mr
Mayor
and
good
luck
to
you
during
your
time
as
mayor
I'd
like
to
congratulate
Berkeley
Parish
Council
in
my
ward
of
ebbingar,
on
being
the
first
in
the
borough
to
update
its
neighborhood
plan
with
the
threat
of
unwanted
speculative
development
about
it
shows
foresight
to
extend
the
protection
of
the
existing
plan
for
another
two
years,
while
also
incorporating
important
modifications
such
as
the
new
berclair
design
code.
I
hope
that
government
proposals
to
extend
the
life
of
current
neighborhood
plans
from
two
to
five
years
will
be
passed
into
legislation
soon.
H
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
I
highly
recommend
all
the
work
done
by
the
the
local
community
to
review
the
Berkeley
neighborhood
plan
and
congratulate
them
on
being
the
First
Parish
in
the
borough
to
update
their
plan
and
I,
hope
and
I'm.
Sure
Council
will
continue
to
work
with
the
local
community
to
shape
the
development
of
their
area
and
neighborhood
in
future.
Thank
you.
I
Mr
Mayor
I
Rise
to
congratulate
the
community
of
Berkeley
for
their
hard
work
in
delivering
an
update
and
a
modification
to
their
neighborhood
plan.
This
Administration
has
made
huge
strides
forward
on
neighborhood
planning,
delivering
a
record
number
of
neighborhood
plans
across
the
length
and
breadth
of
this
Borough,
but
we
could
not
do
this
without
the
enormous
efforts
of
our
parishes
and
our
communities.
I
Berkeley
is
a
national
Exemplar
in
neighborhood
planning.
To
my
knowledge,
no
Parish
anywhere
in
the
country
has
delivered
a
modification
update
to
their
neighborhood
plan.
Richard
Carro
and
his
team
on
Berkeley
Parish
Council
are
to
be
congratulated
for
their
Sterling
efforts.
I'm
pleased
to
have
played
my
part
in
supporting
Berkeley
to
reach
this
point.
I
Our
policy
as
an
Administration
is
to
empower
communities
to
decide
where
development
should
go,
so
we
get
the
right
homes
in
the
right
places.
These
neighborhood
plans
help
communities
defend
against
unwanted
and
speculative
developments.
Indeed,
that
protection
may
be
absolutely
vital
if
Paul
Harvey
that
house
builder's
friends
comes
in
as
leader
at
the
end
of
this
evening.
Thank
you,
Mr
Matt,.
A

A
H
H
Results
which
was
87.282
held
on
on
the
on
4th
May,
and
this
plan
would
be
used
alongside
the
local
plan
and
the
national
planning
policy
guidance
to
determine
the
the
shaping
up
of
their
neighborhood,
and
this
is
the
14th
neighborhood
plan
that,
as
an
authority,
we
have
managed
to
work
with
the
authority,
the
communities
and
achieved
so
I.
Congratulate
them
and
I
can't
wait
to
celebrate
them
at
the
mayor's
party.
Soon.
Thank
you
are.
G
So
I'm
delighted
to
speak
in
support
of
the
adoption
of
this
neighborhood
development
plan,
the
fourth
in
evingar.
It
completes
a
determined
and
vigorous
journey
by
the
Steering
group
and
its
supporters,
beginning
only
just
over
two
years
ago,
given
the
complexity
of
the
technical
planning
issues
and
the
need
to
ensure
local
community
input
and
support
for
the
emerging
plan,
that
is
no
small
feat.
I
congratulate
the
unpaid
volunteers
who
reflect
the
strong
sense
of
community
in
the
parish.
G
G
It
should
also
be
a
ball
walk
against
further
massive
and
inappropriate
proposed
speculative
Housing
Development,
threatening
this
community
at
this
time,
as
the
neighborhood
plan
shows.
It
is,
however,
a
community
that
is
prepared
to
accept
suitable
new
housing
to
meet
its
own
needs
for
the
future.
Well
done
for
all
those
who
have
worked
so
hard.
I
Mr
Mayor
I'm
pleased
to
Second
this
neighborhood
plan
as
board
member
for
evanga
I
Rise,
to
offer
my
sincere
thanks
and
enormous
congratulations
to
the
community
of
etchenswell
sidlington
and
Bishops
green
for
nape
delivering
this
neighborhood
plan.
I
know
it's
been
a
long
and
exhausting
Journey
for
Marion
Dane
and
her
colleagues
on
the
parish
council
and
on
the
steering
group.
I
The
community
in
edin
as
well,
is
played
by
unsustainable
and
unsuitable
large
housing
proposals,
particularly
in
Bishop's
green
I'm,
proud
to
have
supported
this
neighborhood
plan,
which
will
provide
an
additional
layer
of
protection
to
help
each
Essence.
Well.
Sidminton
and
Bishop
screen
resist
unsustainable
development,
particularly
that
proposed
at
College
cops
Fields.
This
neighborhood
plan
will
be
all
the
more
essential
if
Paul
Harvey,
consider
who
consistently
pushed
for
house
building
Beyond
local
needs
was
last
in
office.
J
A
F
K
A
A
A
L
Thank
you,
Mr
Mia,
I'm
sure
it'll
be
of
no
surprise
to
members
that
I
oppose
this
motion.
However,
if
you'll
entertain
me
for
a
few
minutes,
I'll
try
to
explain
why
I
absolutely
understand
that
opposition
counselors
want
to
give
the
Tories
a
bloody
nose.
I
get
that,
however,
I
ask
you
to
think
of
our
residents.
Residents
are
clear
that
they
want
this.
L
I
ask
you
to
think
of
our
residents.
Residents
are
clear
that
they
want
to
slow
down
house
building
so
that
our
local
services
and
infrastructure
can
catch
up.
Councilor
Harvey
is
not
the
individual
to
slow
down
house
building.
Councilor
Harvey
led
the
previous
Coalition
Administration,
who
asked
the
labor
government
of
the
day
for
the
highest
possible
levels
of
house
building
creating
many
of
the
problems
we
are
left
tackling
today.
L
Through
our
local
plan
process,
councilor
Harvey
put
Basingstoke
forward
as
a
diamond
for
growth
in
the
Southeast
plan
and
no
matter
how
much
councilor
cubitt
tries
to
shift
the
blame.
Basingstoke
has
growth
rates
nearly
double
the
national
figures,
because
councilor
Harvey
wanted
to
pursue
large-scale
growth
and,
as
counselors,
are
all
well
aware
of
our
housing
number
requirements
today
are
calculated
using
that
population
growth.
We
are
stuck
in
a
Perpetual
cycle
where
ill-informed
actions
taken
in
2006
have
a
direct
impact
on
what
we
all
have
to
deal
with.
Let's
not
make
it
worse.
L
By
giving
the
arsonist
back
their
matches,
we
all
have
a
council
plan
and
a
budget
that
was
agreed
by
members
of
this
Council
that
gained
cross-party
support.
That
is
the
start
of
an
approach
to
working
together,
we're
not
asking
opposition
counselors
to
get
into
bed
with
us,
but
by
God.
Look
at
the
bedfellows
councilor
Harvey
is
asking
you
to
keep
labor
councilors
are
being
asked
to
support
a
party
made
up
of
those
who
walked
away
from
your
own
values.
I
understand
the
concept
of
The
Prodigal
Son,
but
this
is
more
a
hostile
takeover.
L
Rather
than
return
to
the
fold.
You're
being
asked
to
support
a
party
whose
counselors
have
accused
your
constituency,
labor
party
of
Being
Bad
actors,
your
parliamentary
candidate
as
being
unethical
parachuted
in
and
veiled
accusations
of
misogyny
thrown
against
them.
Liberal
Democrats
are
being
asked
to
support
an
individual
who
ran
attack
campaigns
against
councilor
Kevin
James.
M
You
Mr
Mayor,
just
as
a
point
of
order.
It
is
normal
in
this
chamber
for
councilors
to
speak
through
the
mayor
and
not
to
other
councilors,
and
therefore
I
would
like
the
counselor
concern
to
adhere
to
the
Norms
of
this
chamber,
to
speak
to
you
and
not
in
an
aggressive
manner
to
other
members
of
the
chamber.
L
I
certainly
can
Mr,
Mayor
and
and
I've
certainly
pertured,
that
the
accusation
of
aggression
certainly
not
certainly
not
coming
from
this
end,
however,
let's
start
again,
liberal
Democrats
are
being
asked
to
support
an
individual
who
ran
some
appalling
attack
campaigns
against
councilor
Gavin
James.
Some
years
previously,
I
understand
it's
politics,
I'm
sure
we
all
appreciate
there's
a
bit
of
rough
and
tumble
to
it.
However,
our
residents
deserve
better
than
to
be
subject
to
the
whims
of
simmering
discontent.
L
L
I
actually
find
him
very
personable,
but
I
do
question
his
judgment.
I.
Remember
after
giving
my
maiden
speech
and
counsel,
he
made
a
comment
that
I
was
the
Donald
Trump
of
basingstop
politics,
a
negative
connotation
if
there
was
ever
one
in
which
I
don't
associate
myself
with.
It
is
quite
unfortunate,
then
that
he
has
welcomed
into
his
little
group
The
One
basingstop
councilor,
who
has
previous
for
cheerleading
for
their
foresight.
U.S
president,
even
the
business
talk,
Gazette
called
them
out
for
their
rampant,
tweeting
and
support
of
Donald
Trump.
L
However,
as
councilor
cubitt
said
at
the
time,
I
suppose
we
are
all
entitled
to
freedom
of
speech
or
freedom
to
tweet.
In
her
case
I'm,
going
to
finish
Now
by
asking
my
fellow
counselors
to
think
about
what
we
are
elected
for
is
to
do.
We
can
do
for
our
residents,
look
at
that
grouping
of
individuals
and
ask
yourself
if
you
can
see
them
working
together
for
the
betterment
of
our
residents
as
much
as
I'd
love,
to
see
councilor
Harvey
trying
to
manage
counselors,
Cuba
and
Howard
Sorrel
in
the
same
group.
L
I
mean
I
think
I
personally
rather
organize
a
choir
of
cats.
The
cats
may
actually
harmonize
occasionally
the
still
a
line
from
the
Deputy
Prime
Minister
that
the
holy
the
philan
Holly
of
Basingstoke
politics.
However,
hopefully
you
do
see
my
point:
our
residents
deserve
a
stable,
Administration,
absolutely
one
which
takes
consideration
of
all
opinions,
but
that
is
not
what
councilor
Harvey
offers.
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
foreign.
E
E
We
should
consider
the
pieces
of
work
which
were
created
by
the
ability
and
the
importance
of
all
of
us
listening
and
working
on
those
wide
views
that
we
have
in
this
chamber.
The
budget
this
February
had
more
votes,
supporting
it
than
any
other.
In
recent
history,
we've
had
unanimous
votes
to
challenge
the
standard
method,
calculating
care,
housing
need,
Mr,
Mayor
and
many
other
important
debates
in
our
committees
and
informal
meetings.
E
We
have
started
work
with
our
local
NHS
Partners
to
secure
that
future.
For
our
Borough
we
are
working
on
reducing
patient
waiting
times
improving
health
services.
So
we
have
worked
on
that
Focus
to
deliver,
hopefully
an
urgent
treatment
center,
a
community
Diagnostic
Center
in
our
town.
We
are
focused
on
doing
everything
in
our
power
to
deliver
a
brand
new
General
Hospital
for
base
in
state
and
North
Hampshire
slowing
down
the
number
of
houses
being
built
because
our
infrastructure,
including
our
health,
needs
to
catch
up
with
the
eye-watering
levels
of
growth
and
our
local
Authority
neighboring.
E
Colleagues
across
the
southeast
need
to
do
much
much
more
to
do
their
bit
in
delivering
homes
for
their
residents.
We
can
no
longer
be
solely
responsible
for
solving
the
housing
crisis,
starting
the
consultation
conversation
with
our
residents
now
to
ensure
that
we
have
their
views
and
their
support
for
a
draft
local
plan.
E
E
Our
plan
includes
growing
the
number
and
size
of
nature
recovery
areas
in
every
Ward
Greening,
our
boroughs,
energy,
by
creating
a
significant
amount
of
our
own
renewable
energy
on
Brownfield
sites,
converting
buildings
with
large
roofs
to
renewable
energy
power
stations
with
solar
panels.
The
studies
have
been
done.
The
team
is
being
recruited
to
help
everybody
apply
for
that
funding
and
make
it
a
reality.
E
E
We
have
a
Renaissance.
Yes,
there
are
Renaissance
for
arts
and
culture
based
around
our
basinstoke
Festival
in
this
Borough
and
our
anchor
cultural
organizations
with
the
new
cultural
compact
only
recently
being
quoted
by
a
long-standed,
long-standing
Arts
individual
as
the
best
opportunity
we
have
ever
had
for
arts
in
this
Borough.
E
We
can't
forget
the
impressive
Improvement
plans
for
the
aqua
drone,
the
Leisure
Park,
the
Town
Center,
which
have
been
given
a
resounding
vote
of
support
with
the
interest
from
Great
Wolf
resorts.
In
their
view,
when
I
ask
them,
why
basinstoke
they
said
we
can
only
think
of
positives.
We
can't
think
of
a
single
negative.
E
The
same
level
of
positiveness
is
true
from
the
work
focused
on
bringing
a
University
campus
or
hopefully,
fingers
cost
trust.
Maybe
two
one
minute:
University
campus,
two
Basingstoke
much
of
this
work
is
new
and
exciting
and
we
hope
everyone
in
this
chamber
can
get
behind
it.
We
can
do
all
of
this,
whilst
balancing
our
books
and
retaining
the
lowest
council
tax
in
Hampshire.
Don't
delay
that
work.
Colleagues,
we
have
a
council
plan,
it's
fully
funded
and
budgeted
I
respectfully
and
humbly.
Ask
you
to
reject
this
motion.
Thank
you.
Mr
Mayor.
I
I
think
it
will
still
sorry
yeah.
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
Let
us
be
clear
what
is
going
on
tonight.
The
basing
Stoke
and
Dean
Independents
have
gathered
together
a
cabal
of
high
tax
left-wing
activists,
none
of
whom
want
the
right
to
govern
on
their
own.
They
hope
to
remove
a
conservative
Administration,
which
removed,
which
achieved
by
Farm
or
seats
and
more
votes.
No
one
Grove
voted
for
their
grubby
deal,
delivered
in
a
back
room.
I
It's
time
to
call
out
the
Basingstoke
and
Dean
Independence
for
what
they
are.
Hypocrites.
Independent
candidates
fought
the
elections
on
a
false
prospectus.
They
lied
to
voters
selling
themselves
as
cuddly
Community
Champions,
who
would
stand
up
against
High
house
building,
but
they
are
labor
members
by
another
name,
completely
committed
to
excessive
house
building
in
our
villages.
I
Worst
of
all,
a
Paul
Harvey
Coalition
would
be
totally
in
Hawk
to
a
high
tax,
Pro
house
building
labor
party.
His
administration
would
be
100
in
the
pockets
of
Labor
and
there's
not
a
thing
he
could
achieve.
Without
bending
the
knee
in
facing
Stoke
and
Dean.
We
see
that
voting
Independence
lets
in
labor.
I
We
see
that
liberal
lets
in
labor
I
fear
for
my
Villages
I
fear
what
this
labor-led
Coalition
of
chaos
would
impose
on
our
communities
when
Harvey
was
last
leader
of
this
Council,
he
instigated
the
diamond
for
growth,
actively
infighting
excessive
housing
developments
far
beyond
our
local
needs,
setting
us
on
a
trajectory
that
we
have
struggled
to
get
away
from
our
difficulties
with
the
local
plan.
Mr
Mayor
derive
entirely
from
his
lies
and
his
failure.
A
A
M
A
I
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mr
Mayor,
I'm
I'm,
very
willing
to
tone
down.
If
that
is
the
view
of
of
your
yourself
now,
let's
be
clear.
This
I
fear
what
this
labor-led
Coalition
of
chaos
will
do
to
Basingstoke
in
Wales.
Where
we
see
what
happens
when
labor
has
control,
they
hike
taxes,
they
are
anti-motorist
and
they
threaten
to
remove
the
single
occupier
discount
on
council
tax
that
protects
widows
and
young
people
in
our
communities.
But
there
is
a
brighter
way.
There
is
a
better
way.
I
It
is
to
back
this
conservative
Administration,
which
has
a
bright
plan,
a
long-term
plan
for
our
communities.
When
the
cost
of
living
hits
Basingstoke
conservatives
provided
Millions
to
our
vulnerable
residents
through
our
cost
of
living
fund
for
young
people.
We
have
provided
Innovative
own
home
loans.
We
have
delivered
more
affordable
housing
than
any
other
District
Council
in
Hampshire.
We
brought
rough
sleeping
on
our
streets
down
to
zero
and
we
have
developed
a
plan
to
invest
in
and
regenerate
our
emergency
shelter
at
May
Place
house.
I
O
O
But
what
isn't
good
is
this
opportunistic
power
grab
by
three
minority
groups
that
are
separate
groups
for
a
reason
they
are
diametrically
opposed?
Politically
we
have
members
of
the
BDI
that
left
labor
because
they
couldn't
agree
politically.
We
have
the
Liberals
that
wanted
to
increase
our
portion
of
the
council
tax
during
this
period,
where
the
cost
of
living
is
on
everyone's
Minds
I'm
concerned
that
this
three-way
chaotic,
Rainbow
Coalition
will
affect
due
process
delaying
key
policies
through
infighting
and
indecision
and
I'm
concerned
that
getting
lnr
status
for
old
downward
and
park
will
be
delayed.
O
I'm
concerned
through
this
fragmented
power
grab
that
house
building
across
the
borough
won't
be
slowed
down
and
our
local
infrastructure,
GP
Services
Dental
surgeries
will
be
further
burdened
from
the
Decades
of
overbuilding
that
we've
had
to
endure,
and
it
is
for
these
reasons.
I
will
be
voting
against
the
motion
to
remove
our
leader.
Thank
you.
Mr
Mayor,.
G
On
the
motion
before
us.
My
interest
has
for
good
reasons,
turn
towards
how
labor
counselors
will
vote.
Tori
I
acknowledge
respectfully.
That
labor
is
generally
the
alternative,
serious
party
to
us,
so
I'm
curious
as
to
how
labor
counselors
will
vote
tonight.
Are
you
really
going
to
enter
into
a
coalition
or
prop
up
BDI
lived
in
a
BDI
lib
Dem
Administration?
G
Are
you
really
putting
your
party's
Fortunes
in
the
hands
of
the
lib
Dem
comedy
troupe
and
the
BDI
all
sorts
with
their
assortment
of
ex-torus,
including
those
who
continue
to
be
conservative
party
members
and
an
ex-labor
group
leader
and
other
labor
councilors,
who
walked
away
from
their
party
when
it
should
have
been
able
to
count
on
their
loyalty
at
a
difficult
time?
It
doesn't
suggest
that
loyalty
and
Trust
Will
Survive
for
long
once
the
difficult
decisions
and
there
will
be
difficult
decisions
are
required.
G
Does
it
if
you
do
back
a
coalition
tonight,
you
will
own
that
decision
in
the
months
ahead
before
this
unsound
vessel
falls
apart
because
of
his
inherent
divisions
and
contradictions.
Your
candidate
for
MP,
David
Lawrence,
says
your
decision
is
above
his
pay
grade.
Really
it
won't
be
for
long
Mr
Lawrence.
Once
the
chickens
come
home
to
roost
and
local
people
can
see
what
voting
labor
means
at
the
borough
level.
No
wonder
it
is
reported
that
councilor
McCormack
is
struggling
to
understand
why
newly
elected
by
his
residence,
he
has
just
been
voted
out
as
group
leader.
P
P
P
P
Something
they
also
aren't
happy
with
is
how
bazen,
slope
and
Dean
has
become
a
developers
playground.
While
the
waiting
list
for
housing
has
grown
under
the
conservative
Administration,
we
have
seen
developers
build
houses
for
the
market
whenever
and
wherever
they
see
fit
due
to
a
lack
of
a
five
years.
Land
Supply.
This
won't
help
residents
of
our
Borough,
whilst
many
of
the
party
opposite
complained
about
historical
decisions
taken
before
they
were
in
power.
P
It's
incumbent
on
me
to
ask
them:
where
was
their
concern
when
it
mattered
most
they've
had
17
years
in
administration,
yet
failed
to
protect
and
invest
in
new
schools
in
New
doctors
surgeries
in
the
infrastructure
that
we
so
desperately
need.
Nor
did
they
campaign
or
demand
change
in
the
law
up
until
they
realize
that
the
residents
of
basinstoke
and
Dean
were
fed
up
with
it.
They've
had
the
opportunity
to
do
so
considering
they
are
in
control
of
natural
politics.
P
P
All
I'd
also
remind
members
that
it
wasn't
this
side
of
the
chamber
who
tried
to
block
many
down
from
even
being
in
the
local
plan
many
years
ago
and
then
wasting
public
funds
trying
to
fight
a
high
court
judgment
on
the
decision.
Over
17
years
we
have
seen
Things
Fall
Apart.
Under
the
conservatives,
we
have
seen
multiple
Master
plans
for
the
top
of
town,
but
rather
than
seeing
an
improvement,
we
are
seeing
a
decline.
P
We
have
seen
Master
plans
that
aren't
Master
plans
and
we've
seen
the
ideas
dry
up,
I
believe
now,
more
than
ever,
we
need
to
work
together
on
a
shared
vision
for
the
future.
One
I
hope
will
be
open,
transparent
and
benefit.
Those
that
we
represent
is
a
momentous
occasion
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
the
new
cabinet
and
a
wider
coalition
to
bring
about
a
new
dawn
for
our
Borough.
This
Borough
deserves
better.
It
deserves
a
change
and
I
wholeheartedly
support
this
motion.
Thank
you.
N
You
might
not
like
to
hear
this,
but
I
will
continue
to
play
the
ball
of
policy
rather
than
the
player
making.
The
point
I
think
that
is
for
better
discourse
in
this
place
and
I
believe
it
is,
is
the
right
action
in
this
Civic
year,
I
was
delighted
to
see
a
truly
green
policy
written
into
this
motion.
The
recycling
of
councilor
Harvey
as
as
a
leader
was
a
a
brief
move.
Shall
we
say,
but
it
is,
but
it
is
our
fault
that
we
are
here.
N
N
N
For
my
part,
in
that
I
apologize,
my
leadership
did
not
provide
all
the
things
I
had
hoped
for
when
I
became
leader,
but
my
replacement
said
all
things
will
change
when
he
became
leader
and
he
was
right,
we
managed
to
lose
a
12-seat
majority
and
I.
Don't
think
that
is
particularly
funny
because
it
has
left
this
Borough
without
clear
Direction
on
where
to
go.
N
N
N
I
will
hand
over
reluctantly
to
that
group
beside
you,
whatever
you
make
of
of
it,
but
Paul.
Keep
this
in
your
mind,
keep
your
promises,
for
we
will
provide
the
scrutiny
required
to
make
sure
that
you
do,
but
more
than
that,
the
Judgment
of
the
people
of
this
Borough
will
come
in
11
months
time
and
I
promise
you,
if
you,
if
you
feel
like
you,
failed
before
you
will
be
judged
by
them
and
you
will
be
out
of
power
with
only
a
short
period
of
time
as
leader
I
think.
N
It
is
important
that
we
who
didn't
win
the
majority
of
seats,
take
that
moment
to
to
reflect
what
we
could
do
better
I
think
we
will
be
a
better
opposition
for
having
had
a
period
of
time
in
administration
and
I
I,
genuinely
believe
that
all
of
us
should
try
our
desperately
Harvest
to
do
what
is
right
for
our
residents,
whether
they
be
in
a
liberal
world,
a
big
EI
award,
a
conservative
one.
We
are
required
to
do
what
is
right
for
the
people
of
Beijing
stock.
Indeed,
thank.
D
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
We
have
been
told
quite
forcibly
that
we
have
a
responsibility
to
look
after
the
interests
of
our
residents.
I
have
spent
quite
a
few
weeks
agonizing
about
how
I
can
best
achieve
that
Duty
towards
my
residence.
I've,
sadly
recently
come
to
the
conclusion,
the
unfortunate
and
depressing
conclusion
in
order
to
achieve
that,
I
have
to
move
over
to
this
side
of
the
chamber
and
that's
what
I've
done
and
I
will
be
supporting
this
motion.
Thank
you.
Q
You
Mr
Mayor,
well
I,
just
want
to
bring
to
everyone's
attention
that
the
use
of
the
word
lie
is
unacceptable
in
this
chamber
and
that's
I
see
it
as
a
clear
breach
of
the
code
of
conduct,
Clause
4
general
principles
of
Council
of
conduct,
as
highlighted
by
councilor
Cubit.
You
have
to
treat
people
with
respect
and
customer
practice
in
this
chamber
before
now,
or
even
in
a
committee
meeting
was,
if
you
accused
another
Council
of
lying,
you
were
rejected
from
the
chamber.
Q
L
L
Q
Q
Q
Sure
that's
the
subject
close
to
the
hearts.
Mr
Mayor
of
quite
a
few
people
on
this
side
of
the
chamber
as
well.
We
see
today
water
companies
in
the
national
press.
What
has
this
Administration
or
indignatory
government
done
to
protect
the
communities
and
the
countryside?
Nothing,
and
that's
just
one
of
many
instances
of
failure.
The
Town
Center's
been
mentioned.
The
football
club,
the
ice
rink
you've
done
nothing.
Your
time
is
up.
Thank
you.
J
F
You
Mr
Mayor
I've,
listened
closely
to
debate
this
evening,
I'm
sure
we
all
have
and
we
have
a
clear
choice
in
front
of
us
I
thank
the
chamber
for
the
debate.
Despite
its
content,
let
us
make
the
vote,
let
us
decide
and
let
us
move
forward.
As
councilor
Gavin
James
quite
rightly
says.
As
54
members,
we
represent
our
residents
all
to
the
very
best
of
our
ability.
We
now
have
a
choice
to
make
for
our
future.
A
A
F
Do
Mr
Mayor?
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mr
Mayor
Beijing,
so
can
Dean
has
been
a
one-party
State
for
the
last
17
years
today
that
changes
people
have
voted
for
better.
They
have
given
us
their
trust
and
we
will
strive
to
repay
it.
This
is
a
new
chapter
in
our
town
and
Borough,
a
new
chapter
that
brings
with
it
a
new
Administration.
An
Administration
I,
am
proud
to
lead
with
my
colleagues
jointly
together
for
the
whole
of
arbora.
F
F
That
proves
a
point
really
that
this
blurry
does
deserve
better.
If
all
you
have
to
justify
your
17
years
in
power
is
the
kind
of
attacks
on
both
social
media
and
in
this
chamber,
but
I'm
sorry
that
speaks
volumes,
that's
the
kind
of
politics
we
want
to
change
and
I
call
you
out
for
the
bullies
that
you
are.
This
has
got
to
stop.
F
F
F
We
accept
the
opportunity
to
serve
and
we
will
honor
that
trust.
It
is
a
great
responsibility
which
we
understand
and
respect.
We
are
determined
to
restore
people's
faith
in
local
democracy
in
what
their
Council
does
to
better.
Our
Bora
enrich
people's
lives,
offer
hope
and
leadership
in
a
difficult
time.
As
the
page
now
turns,
and
we
look
to
the
future
I
thank
councilor
minisbound
for
his
service
to
the
bullet.
F
F
There
is
so
much
to
be
done
and
Our
intention
is
to
get
down
to
the
work
of
making
Basingstoke
and
Dean
a
better
place
for
everyone
to
run
a
council
that
is
inclusive,
open
and
welcoming
to
seek
a
can-do
approach
to
the
people's
issues,
to
holding
trust
to
people's
finances
and
to
put
them
to
good
use,
delivering
the
priorities
from
the
Leisure
Park
to
the
town
center
from
Council
housing
to
climate
change,
in
the
ecological
emergency
to
the
local
plan
and
the
cost
of
living
crisis.
We
have
a
shared
agenda,
one
that
unites
us.
F
We
embrace
the
challenges
because
we
respect
the
responsibility
to
deliver.
That
is
far
more
that
unites
us
and
divides
us,
and
the
quality
of
our
action
and
words
in
this
place
and
for
our
residents
is
to
put
that
Unity
at
the
Forefront
of
our
work.
Let
us
not
be
distracted
by
division
and
silly
politics,
let's
rise
above
that
and
really
deliver
the
change
that
people
actually
voted
for.
F
Our
cabinet
is
full
of
talent
and
ambition,
and
we
will
work
to
unlock
the
potential
of
our
Borough.
I
am
pleased
to
announce
my
colleague,
councilor
Gavin
James.
As
co-leader
and
finance
and
property
portfolio
holder,
he
is
also
Deputy
leader
designate
I'm
pleased
to
announce
councilor,
Kerry
Morrow
will
be
leading
the
sports,
Leisure
and
culture
portfolio.
F
Councilor
Chris
Tomlin
will
lead
the
climate
and
ecological
emergency
portfolio.
Councilor
John
McKay
will
lead
the
community's
Partnerships
and
inclusion
portfolio.
Council
Laura
James
will
lead
the
resident
services
and
housing
portfolio.
Councilor
Andy
kuznetsko
will
lead
the
strategic
planning
and
infrastructure
portfolio
and
Council.
Only
Cubit
will
lead
the
major
projects
and
regeneration
portfolio.
F
We
have
shaped
our
cabinet
portfolios
to
match
the
challenge,
but
make
no
mistake.
Unlike
the
old
regime,
we
will
be
an
administration
of
more
than
just
the
executive.
We
will
make
more
announcements
shortly,
but
I
thank
the
old
cabinet
for
their
service,
as
they
now
leave
their
roles.
We
hold
true
to
the
values
and
principles
we
share.
Our
Focus
will
be
basing
Stoke
and
Dean.
Our
mission
is
to
make
the
borough
better
in
every
way
we
can.
Our
policies
are
clear.
Our
approach
is
to
engage
and
be
inclusive,
We
Stand
United.

Why

bear
in

you
have
to
be

Deputy
leader,
so
I,
don't
really
there's
not
been
much
of

election
once
we've
had
the
first
election,
so
I
don't
know
if

can
