A
The
messenger
Muhammad
peace
and
blessings
be
upon
him
said
the
believer
is
friendly
and
befriended,
for
there
is
no
goodness
in
the
one
who
is
neither
friendly
or
befriended,
and
he
said
the
best
of
people
are
those
who
are
the
most
beneficial
to
people.
The
best
of
people
are
those
who
are
the
most
beneficial
to
people.
A
My
friends,
we
were
not
created
for
bigotry
and
vengeance.
We
were
not
created
to
dominate
or
oppress
one
another
God
says
in
the
Quran.
Indeed,
we
created
you
from
a
single
male
and
female
and
made
you
into
Nations
and
tribes
so
that
you
may
know
one
another
so
that
you
may
get
to
know
one
another.
A
We
pray
that
the
voices
of
racism
and
xenophobia
that
seek
to
divide
all
of
us
around
drowned
out
by
the
voices
that
say
you
will
not
pit
us
against
one
another
and
we
choose
today
to
live
by
the
hope
that
God
has
instilled
in
US,
not
by
the
fears
that
others
manufacture
like
amongst
us,
and
we
pray
to
God
the
one
God
of
Noah,
Abraham,
Moses
and
Jesus
and
Muhammad,
and
us
all
for
one
basing
stoke
one
Great
Britain
and
one
world
I
mean.
Thank
you.

Many
of
you
know:
I
I
have
a
guest
in
my
home
and
she
celebrated
her
21st
birthday
away
from
home
on
Sunday
and
I
just
wanted
to
share
what
appears
on
my
phone
and
her
phone
on
a
daily
basis,
which
is
not
only
her
country
people's
thanks
for
everything
that
we've
done
as
a
United
Kingdom,
but
it's
also
a
request
for
more
help.
Nearly
every
day,
I
get
one
or
two
texts
from
people
who
know
my
number
from
where
it's
published
all
over
the
Ukraine
to
say
they
need
more
people
to
host.
C
We
also
have
hosts,
who
have,
for
whatever
circumstance
has
been
unable
to
continue
the
hosting.
So
we
are
also
rematching
as
a
local
Authority.
Those
people
who
need
new
sponsors
so
I
think
I
would
just
put
that
plea
out
there.
It
has
been
a
year
and-
and
we
have
also
seen
the
horrific
scenes
of
that
that
have
been
happening
in
turkey
and
Syria-
that
will
also
impact
our
residents,
but
just
offering
that
support,
and
we
have
been
overwhelmed
by
that
support
with
our
residents.
C
We
are
currently
hosting
180
households
from
Ukraine
in
this
Borough
we
have
rehomed
another
15..
We
are
have
worked
really
hard
with
our
partners
and
I'm
sure
we
will
talk
a
lot
about
the
cost
of
living
tonight
and
that
does
have
an
impact
on
all
of
our
residents,
but
there
are
also
varying
degrees
of
impact
on
there,
and
we
have
quite
a
lot
of
residents
where
that
impact
is
much
closer
to
home
and
much
more
traumatic.
C
So
it
comes
as
no
surprise
that,
when,
as
a
new
leader
which
is
I
was
appointed
on
the
28th
of
February
last
year,
when
we've
been
building
a
new
council
plan,
a
new
budget,
it's
been
important
that
we
focus
as
a
council.
What
our
residents
would
want
from
us-
and
that
is
our
help-
are
helped
to
help
them
enjoy
living
here
in
the
borough.
Our
help
to
help
them
protect
what
they
love
about
living
here
and
our
help
to
help
them
provide
for
us
to
provide
consistently
good
quality
services
that
they
can
rely
on
together.
C
The
council
plan
and
budget
set
out
both
what
we
will
prioritize,
but
also
how
we
will
achieve
it.
This
plan
and
budget
also
helps
residents
with
the
pressures
of
the
cost
of
living
by
freezing
our
element
of
the
council,
tax,
freezing
car
parking
charges
and
not
increasing
the
fees
for
garden
Waste
Services.
C
We
can
do
all
of
this
whilst
remaining
debt,
free
and
balancing
the
budget
for
the
next
two
years.
It
also
helps
with
assistance
for
food
and
energy
costs
for
those
on
the
lowest
of
incomes
and
most
in
need
of
our
support.
It
helps
with
grants
for
the
voluntary
sector
Community
groups.
It
helps
with
vulnerable
Arts
organizations
that
are
essential
to
the
borough.
We've
created
our
first
cultural
Compact
and
it's
been
set
up
with
an
additional
level
of
funding,
which
equates
to
300
000
for
the
next
two
years
to
support
those
important
cultural
organizations
and
activities.
C
The
plan
and
budget
helped
to
protect
the
environment
and,
more
importantly,
help
others
to
do
what
they
can
do
to
help
too.
We
have
a
new
green
team
which
will
be
out
and
about
working
with
residents
to
help
them
do
what
they
can
to
reduce
their
impact
on
the
planet
and
save
money.
At
the
same
time,
we
will
start
the
biggest
conversation
this
borough
has
ever
had
about
New
Recycling
services
and
how
we
can
all
act
responsibly
around
the
waste
that
we
create
and
what
happens
to
it.
C
We
can
do
all
of
the
things
that
are
articulated
in
the
council
plan,
whilst
not
increasing
our
council
tax,
so
we
have
also
planned
to
invest
in
key
areas
that
will
make
a
visible
difference
to
residents,
in
addition
to
investing
in
increasing
pressing
priorities
like
the
environment,
we're
also
investing
in
Frontline
services
to
ensure
that
they
are
improved
with
investment
in
the
planning
and
development
team,
environmental,
health,
Team
and
in
the
grounds
maintenance,
team
and
planning's
key.
Isn't
it
many
of
our
district
colleagues?
C
It's
really
one
of
the
few
things
that
they
can
afford
to
do,
and
we
can
afford
to
do
much
more,
but
it's
really
important
when
it
comes
to
planning
that
we
acknowledge,
which
we
have
done
in
this
chamber,
whether
it
be
for
full
Council
or
whether
it
be
for
eph,
but
actually
the
growth
this
borough
has.
Experience,
has
had
a
significant
Demand
on
our
public
services
that
burgeoning
growth
has
been
going
on
for
over
the
last
50
years.
C
These
Public
Services
have
shown
those
Growing
Pains
and
we've
seen
that
even
in
this
week's
basal
stick
Gazette.
So
it's
really
important
that
we
can
now
start
putting
into
practice
some
of
those
changes
that
have
been
long
promised
when
it
comes
to
creating
a
new
local
plan
that
we
can
plan
for
that
consultation
process.
To
make
sure
what
has
been
discussed
in
this
chamber
is
exactly
what
our
residents
want
us
to
do,
so
that
we
can
develop
the
number
of
houses
and
homes
that
we
need
to
create.
C
C
Our
strong
financial
position
allows
us
to
reduce
the
pressure
on
residents
and
invest
in
priority
areas.
At
the
same
time,
I
am
immensely
grateful
for
the
cross-party
support
for
the
overwhelming
majority
of
the
budget,
and
the
council
plan
and
I
would
also
like
to
thank
all
those
who
participated
in
the
plan's
creation.
It
is
a
plan
that
has
involved
residents.
It
is
a
plan
that,
in
its
creation,
has
involved
valued
partners
and
it's
a
plan
that
has
also
involved
businesses,
Who,
deliver
and
partner,
with
much
of
what's
in
there
with
us
to
be
delivered.
C
E
The
truth
is,
we
all
have
more
in
common
than
divisors.
That
is
such
a
powerful
statement,
particularly
when
we
talk
about
Ukraine
and
I.
Think
the
worst
of
value,
I
will
say
from
the
start
talking
about
the
budget
and
the
council
plan
that
it
is
not
our
budget
and
is
not
our
council
plan
and
we
do
have
and
would
have
differing
priorities
driven
from
a
differing
perspective.
E
It's
not
that
you
are
wrong
and
we
are
right.
There
are
good
ideas
on
all
sides
of
this
chamber.
The
difference
is
the
kind
of
politics
that
unlocks
that
potential,
the
council
plan
and
the
budget
need
to
be
far
more
ambitious
for
our
residents.
This
Council
needs
to
focus
on
the
services
we
provide
people's
needs
and
their
aspirations
simply
vesting
power
in
the
hands
inside
the
hands
of
his
group.
One
group
does
not
reflect
the
people's
desire
for
change
or
fulfill
their
aspirations.
E
We
should
be
humbled
to
be
elected
by
the
people
of
albera.
Their
faith
in
us
needs
to
be
restored
by
the
actions
we
take
and
the
way
we
conduct
our
politics.
It's
about
the
opportunity
to
serve
to
offer
a
vision,
combined
of
ideas
and
talent
from
across
the
community,
not
simply
from
inside
this
chamber.
E
The
best
value
of
leadership
is
to
galvanize,
to
see
the
extraordinary
potential
of
people
and
to
hold
that
as
a
value
that
drives.
You
I
believe
that
the
very
best
of
our
blur
is
yet
to
come.
People
want
good
paying
jobs,
they
want
to
live
in
homes
they
could
afford,
send
their
children
to
good
local
schools,
have
much
better
local
doctors
surgeries
run
by
the
NHS,
which
should
be
properly
funded
and
supported
the
quality
in
places
in
which
people
live
matters
the
need
we
have
to
breathe
clean
air
enjoy
our
local
environment
matters.
E
We
have
in
our
hands
the
power
to
shape
that
future.
If
we
truly
hold
to
the
value
of
seizing
the
opportunity
to
serve
leveling
up,
the
in
Vogue
phrase
is
essential
in
bayesians
token
Dean,
whether
we
call
it
regeneration
or
social
justice.
We
must
hear
that
voice
calling
for
more
from
us,
so
many
people
cannot
afford
their
mortgages
or
rent
anymore.
Their
jobs
are
not
paying
enough
for
them
to
cope.
People
are
relying
on
food
Parcels,
there
are
cues
at
our
food
banks
and
they
have
grown.
People
are
choosing
between
Heating
and
eating.
E
It
is
real.
It
is
in
our
Borough,
it
is
a
genuine
need,
the
unjustified
inflation
busting
Energy
prices
are
crippling,
so
many
people,
and
yet
those
same
companies
who
are
making
billions
in
Windfall
profits
do
little
to
help
our
transformation
from
carbon,
polluting
fossil
fuels
or
help
people
with
programs
of
insulation
or
new
technology
to
reduce
their
costs.
E
E
That's
just
too
far
off.
It's
flushing,
this
crisis
in
our
Rivers
Downstream
and
meanwhile
those
same
water
companies
who
are
making
millions
in
profits
are
not
investing
in
the
infrastructure
we
need
and
the
governments
are
letting
them
carry
on
dumping
sewage
in
our
chalk
streams
for
the
next
15
years.
E
Let's
be
honest,
people
are
feeling
badly
let
down
by
national
politics.
After
the
revolving
door
of
governments
and
ministers,
you
could
hardly
blame
them
for
losing
faith
with
politics.
Democracy,
as
we
know
it
is
being
challenged
everywhere.
You
look
even
in
local
government.
We,
as
elected
representatives,
have
such
a
responsibility
to
step
up
and
be
accounting
to
restore
that
faith.
The
government
has
created
a
whole
new,
unelected
state
which
controls
crucial
aspects
of
our
community
life
and
the
communities
themselves
have
no
say
no
influence,
no
control
over
these
decisions.
They
lack
control
over
planning.
E
It's
just
one
example
of
this
top-down
culture.
This
is
a
government
that
cares
less
about
democracy
than
about
power.
That
cares
less
about
people
than
political
dogma
and
infighting
that
cares
less
about
fairness
and
Justice
than
about
defending
their
own
interests
and
the
interests
of
Their
Own
benefactors.
No
wonder
people
feel
disillusioned
with
politics.
No
wonder
they
feel
dismayed
and
disappointed,
no
one
that
I
feel
disgusted
with
the
government.
E
That
is
what
undermines
people's
faith
in
politics
and
it
washes
ashore
in
local
government,
because
here
in
local
government,
people
also
feel
rightly
angry
at
a
council
leadership
that
has
failed
consistently
on
every
major
project
is
being
responsible
for
the
fact
that
many
down
has
not
been
delivered
is
having
a
huge
impact.
The
annual
monitoring
report
tells
us
that
only
1
210
homes
are
predicted
to
be
built
on
many
down
up
to
2029.
E
That
is
a
shocking
failure,
and
the
council
plan
doesn't
even
mention
many
down.
It's
been
airbrushed
out.
The
high
court
judge
told
the
council
to
develop
many
now,
all
of
it
we
held
the
transfer
of
council
housing
stock
referendum
in
the
early
90s,
and
people
were
promised
that
many
down
would
deliver
new
Council
housing.
E
They
voted
by
the
narrowest
of
margins
to
tell
their
Council
house
homes
to
housing
associations
on
the
conservative
promise
of
new
Council
homes
being
delivered
with
the
money.
Many
down
was
bought
for
the
express
purpose
of
development,
and
none
of
our
communities
would
now
have
to
suffer
speculative
development
if
it
was
being
delivered,
as
promised.
Every
village
that
feels
the
pressure
of
development
every
community
in
our
Borough,
that
is
facing
speculative
development
can
point
to
the
conservatives
games
that
have
been
played
over
many
down
over
many
years.
E
People
need
hope
more
than
ever,
but
they
need
to
see
action,
making
that
hope
come
true,
using
our
resources
to
make
a
difference
to
them
and
their
families.
We
are
a
very
lucky
Council.
We
have
sound
finances,
they
have
been
managed
for
decades
by
those
who
put
the
people's
interests.
First,
recent
Investments
have
led
us
to
question
the
soundness
of
the
decisions
being
made
with
the
people's
money.
E
No,
we
have
a
duty
to
put
that
money
to
good
use
to
deliver
a
plan
today
that
will
shape
tomorrow,
protect
that
Nest
Egg,
yes
for
all
the
future
Generations,
but
also
invest
now
to
help
that
future
become
a
reality
and
also
address
today's
problems
with
Vigor
and
intent.
Not
a
gesture,
not
some
warm
words,
but
a
deep
and
meaningful
program
of
change
in
our
Borough.
It
is
easy
to
settle
back
and
rest
on
a
sound
Finance
argument
saying.
E
Well,
we
can't
do
that
because
we
just
can't
risk
it
always
finding
excuses
that
would
be
coveting
power
for
power's
sake.
I
say
we
have
a
bigger
Duty.
We're
often
told
that
we
are
just
a
Borough
Council.
Well
we're
far
more
than
that,
we
always
have
been.
We
have
the
ability
to
unlock
the
potential
of
the
private
and
public
sector.
E
We
can
Galvanize
our
wider
Community
to
work
with
us
collectively
in
a
way
that
creates
the
change
that
people
are
crying
out
for
so
many
people
see
climate
change
as
a
cost
that
must
be
born
today
for
a
benefit
that
they
will
never
see.
That
time
has
passed.
If
we
don't
change
and
quickly
the
damage
we
are
doing
will
visit
itself
in
our
lifetimes.
It
isn't
in
some
distant
future
anymore,
so
the
app
to
act
now
for
all
our
futures,
the
time
first
passed
for
any
delay
offsetting
our
responsibilities
is
not
the
answer.
E
It's
a
get
out
of
jail
card
to
admit
failure.
Now,
if
we
are
saying
that
we
cannot
meet
the
targets
demanded
of
us,
let
us
have
the
honesty
to
say
so.
If
we
have
wasted
the
last
three
years,
then
letters
say
so.
If
we've
not
been
going
fast
enough
to
affect
the
change,
that's
needed
again,
let
us
say
so,
but
for
goodness
sake,
let's
level
with
future
Generations
that
we've
failed
them.
E
Instead
of
trying
to
offset
the
problem
to
somebody
else,
the
future
is
in
our
hands,
quite
literally
as
never
before
and
I,
genuinely
believe
that
our
children
will
never
forgive
us
if
we
leave
them
the
legacy
of
climate
change
on
the
scale
that
is
now
predicted.
Now
I
recognize
the
steps
the
council
is
wanting
to
take
on
housing
on
transport,
on
energy,
on
changing
our
way
of
life,
we
have
got
to
see
more
action
as
well
as
good
words.
E
We
need
to
be
enabled
to
enable
the
building
of
truly
affordable
homes
that
meet
local
people's
needs.
We
want
to
set
up
a
council
owned
housing
company
to
deliver
Council
housing
with
partners
that
buy
in
to
our
vision
of
good
places
to
live.
We
want
to
deliver
zero
carbon
homes
using
modular
design
and
work
up
products
that
meet
local
housing
need.
We
want
the
council
to
lead
and
shape
housing
development
in
this
Borough.
We
want
to
tackle
the
crisis
that
our
families
are
facing,
living
in
Flats
with
a
livability
code.
E
We
want
to
see
a
regeneration
program
created
planned
for
the
next
30
Years
to
begin
to
address
the
stock
issues
that
many
of
our
communities
are
now
facing,
and
that
means
forming
a
very
active
and
coordinated
partnership
with
our
housing
associations,
combining
Capital
programs
and
giving
certainty
to
people
from
across
Umbra.
We
want
to
reserve
budget
set
up
to
allow
an
annually
renewed
program
of
investment
in
the
physical
fabric
of
our
communities.
Again,
this
could
involve
pooling
resources
from
organizations
and
land
ownerships.
E
We
want
to
plan
to
insulate
more
homes
across
the
borough,
working
with
Vivid
and
Sovereign,
on
a
program
of
insulation,
costed
and
funded
for
social
housing.
We
want
to
power
our
business
parks
with
on-site
renewable
energy.
We
want
to
explore
setting
up
a
community
energy
Cooperative
that
residents
and
benefits
that
are
businesses
could
benefit
from.
E
We
want
to
empower
localism
with
local
development
forums
where
developers
are
held
accountable.
We
want
our
Green
Space
is
protected
and
enhanced
to
encourage
all
to
have
access.
We
would
not
charge
people
to
park
to
enjoy
our
public
open
spaces.
We
want
to
adopt
and
adapt
best
practice
to
deliver
the
best
policies
on
both
the
ecological
and
climate
emergency.
We
want
to
launch
a
biodiversity
audit
of
our
Borough
and
follow
it
with
action
plans
for
the
natural
world,
supported
by
a
panel
of
local
experts.
E
We
want
to
roll
out
a
program
of
rewilding
supporting
our
local
farmers
to
turn
on
youth
agricultural
land
into
habitat,
supporting
our
communities
to
identify
rewilding
opportunities
in
their
area.
We
want
to
introduce
a
supermarket
partnership
where
Plastics
that
County
Council
won't
recycle
get
recycled.
E
We
want
to
see
better
recycling,
as
the
leader
has
already
alluded,
to
better
recycling
options
for
everyone
and
from
what
we
do
for
our
small
business
Community
to
drive
our
economy
on
skills
and
opportunity
to
listening
to
the
voice
of
business
when
they
tell
us
they
are
struggling
and
need
our
help.
We
need
to
be
the
champion
of
innovation,
pushing
a
new
science
park
at
the
basing
spoken
team.
E
We
stand
for
investment,
long-term
investment
in
the
productive
capacity
of
our
local
economy,
investment
in
the
people
in
their
skills,
investments
in
technology
and
Innovation
investment
in
our
communities
and
in
the
infrastructure
that
underpins
our
Boris,
proper
Prosperity.
Our
strategy,
one
that
looks
to
the
future,
is
a
strategy
that
Embraces
changes
taking
place
in
the
world
of
the
work
strategy
for
a
modern
labor
force
and
a
modern
business
environment.
E
It's
a
strategy
that
has
to
put
the
skills
and
talents
of
all
of
our
people
at
the
heart
of
an
economic
program
for
the
whole
of
the
borough,
from
Desiring
a
world-class
Leisure
Park
to
delivering
our
aspiration
working
in
partnership
with
providers
and
new
ones.
We
should
want
the
very
best
for
our
Borough
from
our
Leisure
Park
and
as
for
the
Town
Center,
a
strategy
of
renewing
retail
and
Leisure
in
the
Town
Center,
creating
public
space
empowering
Community
uses
linking
it
to
Beijing
view
in
the
Leisure
Park,
so
it
isn't
done
in
isolation.
E
We
want
no
cramming
of
flats
no
development
over
full
stories.
How
we've
got
design
design
a
design
code
of
quality
agreed.
We
want
to
think
about
the
London
Square
concept,
where
you
green,
a
town
center
and
give
identity
through
Innovative
design
that
blends
our
Leisure
retail
and
Community
uses
with
real
quality
architecture.
Something
Our,
Town
Center
is
crying
out,
for
these
are
just
a
few
of
the
ideas
and
policies
that
we
have
and
would
want
to
see.
E
You
will
all
have
others
and
it's
how
we
can
work
together
and
finding
the
common
ground,
and
we
can
realize
the
desire
we
all
have
to
transform
our
town
and
Borough
all
right.
We
don't
agree
with
the
council
plan
on
the
budget
is
currently
shaped
or
written,
but
we
do
believe
we
can
do
better
as
independent
councilors.
We
believe
in
the
common
good,
the
basing
token
Dean
Council
has
a
responsibility
to
be
better
to
meet
the
needs,
Ambitions
and
aspirations
of
the
people
of
arbora
We
Believe.
E
D
D
But
don't
worry
the
borough
saved
you
all
10p
a
week,
even
if
you're
a
millionaire
big
deal,
people
are
seeing
their
bills
triple,
they
can't
afford
to
insulate
their
homes,
they'd
be
better
off
they
could
we
need
to
help
them
do
that.
We
need
to
get
the
government
to
put
money
behind
that
it's
in
our
long-term
future
we're
seeing
climate
catastrophe
emerging.
Now
we
are
leaving
it
very
late,
save
the
world.
D
We
need
targeted
help
for
people,
which
is
why
I'm
happy
to
see
that
there
are
amendments
before
us
tonight
to
place
another
one
million
pound
funding
on
the
cost
of
living,
support
taken
from
the
medium
to
risk
Reserve
and
as
the
government's
price
guarantee
cap.
It
is
due
to
go
up
to
three
thousand
pound
from
April.
This
will
be
needed
more
than
ever.
D
We're
also
falling
behind
in
our
commitment
to
make
this
a
carbon
neutral
Borough.
It's
not
really
so
much.
We've
set
ourselves
a
mission
impossible
Target,
it's
not
down
to
us
to
decide.
When
we
go
count,
the
neutral
things
are
taking
their
own
course.
We
are
seeing
the
effects
of
climate
on
our
Borough
as
we
are
in
our
country
in
The
Wider
world.
D
The
longer
we
leave
it
the
more
expensive
it
will
be
in
terms
of
insurance
payouts
for
things
like
flood
damage
and
wind
damage.
These
are
things
that
we've
paid
for
and
not
got.
We've
got
skyrocketing
builds
with
private
companies
that
are
making
obscene
profits
and
that's
not
doing
our
residents
any
service
at
all.
D
We've
been
so
much
better
positioned
if
our
residents
didn't
have
to
rely
so
much
on
fossil
fuels,
but
I'm
really
pleased
to
see
an
amendment
before
us
tonight
to
place
another
one
million
pound
in
the
climate
change
Reserve
again
to
be
taken
from
the
medium
term
risk
Reserve.
What
is
the
risk?
Reserve
we're
saving
money
for
a
rainy
day,
the
rain's
pouring
the
roof's
leaking.
We
need
to
act
now.
D
F
Good
evening
Mr
bear
and
can
I
start
by
thanking
the
officers
of
this
Council
for
the
amazing
work.
They've
done
in
all
the
paperwork
we've
got
before
us
tonight.
That's
been
changing
hourly
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks,
but
indeed
the
book
we
have,
whilst
I'd
like
a
bit
more
detail,
actually
there's
an
awful
lot
of
work
that
goes
into
that
and
I'm
grateful
for
the
officers
of
the
time,
effort
and
commitment.
F
It's
particularly
difficult,
of
course,
to
do
that
when
there
is
no
long
time
long-term
formula
funding
for
local
government,
it's
still
under
review,
it
has
been
since
I,
don't
know
when
it
seems
to
be
permanent,
which
is
very
frustrating
it'd,
be
nice
to
have
three
years
and
be
able
to
look
three
years
into
the
future
in
knowing
what
government's
got
on
the
tracks.
But
we
don't
have
that
luxury
and
it's
worth
exploring.
Why,
before
we
go
on
to
local
matters,
the
events
of
the
last
12
months,
because
I
don't
know
you
may
have
missed
it.
F
F
It
came
as
a
surprise
to
pretty
much
no
one
that
Boris
Johnson
turned
out
to
be
unfit
to
be
prime
minister
now
I
was
going
to
do
an
A
to
Z
of
his
failings,
but
I
appreciate
it's
quite
a
long
agenda,
so
I
thought
I'll
just
hone
in
on
one
letter
and
as
he's
a
man
who
spent
his
career
taking
the
pee
I'll
go
with
the
p
..
But
where
do
you
start
with
our
Parliament
pierogian
PM,
who
started
his
Premiership
as
the
MP
purger
protecting
pretty
Patel
from
the
bullying
scandal?
F
Trying
to
change
the
rules
to
defend
his
old
pal
Patterson?
Then
there
was
the
PPE
contracts.
Then
there
was
a
party
gate
and
pincer
which
turned
out
to
be
the
Clincher.
At
least
he
wasn't
the
MP
in
Parliament
watching
porn.
This
left
the
conservatives
to
get
rid
of
him.
He
left
to
leave
a
new
leader
to
puzzle
over
the
protocol
problem.
He
leaves
behind.
F
F
She
did
achieve
growth,
growth,
growth,
the
deficit
grew
the
size
of
the
UK
debt
grew
interest,
rates,
grew
and
eventually,
I.
Think
she
understood
that
once
inflation
was
a
higher
percentage
and
her
approval
ratings,
it
was
time
to
go
literally.
No
one
argued
that
she
should
stay
as
it
was
the
will
of
the
membership
they
planned
nope.
The
Tories
started
planning
for
a
second
vote.
Another
idea,
you
made
a
mistake,
but
she
does
leave
a
legacy.
The
Kremlin
is
not
known
for
humor,
but
it's
tweeted.
F
F
In
just
a
few
months
we
went
from
the
PM
that
people
used
to
want
so
the
PM
the
Tories
wanted
to
the
PM.
Nobody
wanted
now.
Normally
new
Prime
Ministers
promise
a
cabinet
full
of
all
the
talents.
Richie
sunac
went
one
step
further,
a
cabinet
of
all
the
talents
and
none.
How
else
can
you
explain?
Gavin,
Williamson
and
Dominic
Raab
locally
things
haven't
been
that
much
better.
F
The
cabinet
Pretender
is,
but
actually
it's
not
within
this
document.
You've
got
survey
results.
75
percent
of
people
are
happy
with
the
council.
Flick
back
to
2019
80
were
happy
with
the
council.
Our
scores
for
value
for
money
is
down
and
feeling
informed
has
collapsed.
Our
worst
score
in
2019
was
feeling
able
to
influence
decisions.
We've
stopped
asking
that
one
there's
a
clear
pattern
of
decline.
F
So
when
you
got
to
the
council
plan,
I
thought
it
might
be
a
bit
of
a
waste
of
time
really
because,
as
a
council,
we're
really
good
at
agreeing
plans
and
strategies,
but
they
rarely
seem
to
deliver.
Take
the
local
plan
review
in
2019
now,
there's
a
legal
requirement
to
review
your
council
plan
every
five
years.
Five
years.
F
We
struggle
to
review
it
in
five
years
with
the
land
Supply
deficit
developers
are
in
control,
leaving
us
in
a
unique
position
of
being
a
planning
Authority
with
no
plan
and
no
Authority,
and
the
conservative
failure
is
felt
like
by
others
like
the
residents
of
kingscliff,
who
gave
up
their
free
time
to
create
a
neighborhood
plan
that
would
enhance
the
area,
not
damage
it.
That
would
meet
their
needs.
The
Tory
failure
leaves
them
threatens
by
far
larger
developments
than
the
community
can
sustain.
F
We
have
a
medi-down
strategy.
Now
the
medidown
strategy
tells
us
that
you
would
have
recently
had
to
get
out
the
official
mayoral
hard
hats
to
go
and
stand
outside
the
1500th
home
built
and,
in
the
background,
would
have
been
the
Village
Center
emerging
from
the
ground.
We
are,
in
fact
1500
build
homes
and
a
Village
Center
short.
F
We
are
unbelievably
eight
years
behind
a
schedule
we
wrote
eight
years
ago.
There
are
rumors
of
a
Facebook
campaign
to
change
the
name
of
many
down
to
Neverland
because
it
never
grows
up
on
the
Leisure
Park.
He
was
decided
to
keep
what
we
already
had
replaced
the
aqua
drone.
We
always
planned
and
hope
other
providers
fancy
the
gaps
that
have
always
existed
and
the
Leisure
Park
helps
underline
another
decline
within
the
council
in
preparation
for
the
budget.
Eight
years
ago,
I
asked
how
much
the
council
had
spent
on
consultants.
F
In
the
last
five
years,
I
had
to
wait
four
hours
for
a
response
in
October
I
asked
how
much
had
been
spent
on
Consultants
on
just
the
Leisure
Park
I
had
to
wait
four
months
for
a
response
this
week.
The
response
finally
arrived
so
this
week,
I
know
now.
Some
members
may
want
to
write
this
down
for
their
election
material.
Possibly
don't
get
your
pen,
but
the
actual
cost
to
the
Council
of
the
last
10
years.
To
achieve
pretty
much,
nothing
was
930
714
pounds.
F
Also
this
year,
I
got
to
read
the
third
Town
Center
master
plan
we've
paid
for
since
I
became
a
counselor.
The
first
two
were
filled
with
unviable,
unrealistic
and
undelibable
ideas.
After
a
couple
of
years
of
nothing
happening,
increased
residence
comments
on
the
state
of
the
town
center
and
then
we'd
repeat
the
process.
F
The
problem
the
strategy
fell
apart
almost
immediately
because
the
parking
strategy
came
along
and
what
the
parking
strategy
tells
us
about.
Central
car
park
is
the
sloping
Topography
of
the
site
and
access
requirements
means
proposals
for
alternative
uses,
or
developments
are
limited
and
costly.
Now
these
contradicted
papers
were
approved
by
the
same
cabinet.
They
were
approved
six
minutes
apart,
which
makes
you
wonder
why
cabinet?
Maybe
you
know
why
cabinet
is
so
short.
F
F
You'll
remember
there
was
a
time
when
visitors,
visitors
to
the
town
would
reach
Easter
roundabouts
and
they
would
see
dancing
fountains
and
a
low-level
waterfall.
It
was
a
connection
between
the
Fantastic
Festival
place
and
the
once
brilliant
East
drop
park.
It
also
connected
modern
bays
in
Stoke
to
our
past.
When
a
canal
run
through
the
town,
it
was
created
when
we
cared
the
waterfalls
stopped
working.
Many
years
ago,
The
Fountains
have
taken
years
out
too
it's
more
evidence
of
Decline
and
decline.
F
The
utility
boxes
that
cover
that
are
covered
in
graffiti
across
the
town
we
used
to
chase
companies.
We
used
to
hassle
them
a
lot
to
get
them
cleaned.
We
don't
seem
to
bother,
but
there
is
a
good
new
story,
an
idea
of
what
we
can
achieve
when
we
really
try.
A
few
years
ago,
I
was
talking
to
a
council
officer
and
I
was
asking
whether
we
could
do
anything
about
these
ugly,
green
idiot
magnets.
We
call
utility
boxes
turning
them
into
street
art.
F
The
utility
companies
agreed
also
contributed
towards
it,
and
those
boxes
in
the
town
center
walk
through
the
town
center
still
encourage
you
to
go
to
town.
They
look
amazing,
some,
not
my
taste
style
but
they're
a
talking
point,
but
they
look
fantastic.
It
shows
what
we
can
do
when
we
put
a
bit
of
effort
into
things,
but
unfortunately
that's
not
always
the
case.
F
If
you
walk
outside
this
building,
we've
gone
from
the
local
plans
to
the
tiny
go
outside
this
building
head
towards
the
orphan
burial,
Park
Gates,
and
on
the
left,
you'll
see
a
low
wall.
There's
a
big
chunk
missing
from
that
wall
been
missing
for
four
years:
nothing's
happened:
lots
of
people
must
walk
past
it.
Maybe
we
just
stop
caring.
Maybe
we
just
haven't
got
resources
to
deal
with
it,
so
whether
it's
leaves
piling
up
entadly
or
graffiti
lining
our
streets.
We
seem
to
have
been
in
Decline.
F
Hopefully,
if
all
the
Amendments
go
through,
we
will
have
a
budget
that
we
can
get
all
get
behind,
because,
unfortunately,
the
decline
has
to
stop
and
Council
of
balance.
Introduction
was
somewhat
I
think
best
intentions,
but
it's
like
he
misses
all
the
problems
that
we
have
as
a
Borough
I
look
forward
to
the
rest
of
the
debate
around
the
Amendments,
because
hopefully
we
could
end
up
with
the
best
budget
we've
produced
for
many
many
years.
Thank
you.
G
Yes,
good
evening,
Mr,
Mayor
and
councilors.
Firstly,
I'd
want
to
thank
our
outstanding
Finance
team
for
again
delivering
such
comprehensive
budget
plans
and
inputting
significant
last
minute
changes
so
well,
and
that's
where
my
agreement
with
councilor
Gavin
James
James,
is
probably
going
to
end
I.
Thank
also
the
benefits
team
for
the
extra
hours
they
put
in
to
ensure
emergency
payments
have
got
to
Residents
without
delay.
G
So
now
we
know
it
tonight.
It's
the
liberal
Democrats
who
want
to
increase
council
tax
showing
their
true
left-wing
colors
residents,
should
know
that
councilor
McCormack's
labor
group
would
really
like
to
raise
your
council
tax,
but
not
this
time.
It
is
clear
from
his
public
statements
that
the
labor
group
leader
is
against
freezing
council
tax.
He
says
quite
rightly
that
ours
is
but
a
small
part
of
total
council
tax.
G
Councilman
McCormack
has
a
problem
with
this
Council
investing
in
property
most
recently
buying
the
Premier
Inn
has
upset
him.
He
says
it
is
the
reason
we
are
not
increasing.
Council
tax
council
tax
this
year
because
of
the
rent
we
will
receive
absolutely
right
and
the
great
thing
is
we
should
receive
that
rent
next
year
and
into
the
future.
That's
the
whole
point
so
again,
I'm
happy
to
make
the
case
for
investing
where
that
produces
income
that
we
can
then
spend
on
residents
rather
than
the
labor
approach
of
spend
it
all
today
and
forget
about
tomorrow.
G
Councilman
McCormack
is
big
on
ambition,
but
has
rather
negative
and
gloomy
view
of
the
prospects
of
this
town.
Worryingly,
he's
he's
often
it
is
often
ambition,
uninfluenced
by
inconvenient
evidence
given
the
chance.
He
would
be
writing
big
Council
checks
for
snow
domes,
aquadromes
with
double-length
swimming
pools
and
new
football
stadiums
and
ice
rinks
that
heat
swimming
pools,
or
is
it
the
other
way
round,
or
is
it
both?
G
We
are
one
group
of
conservatives
who
have
not
forgotten
the
need
to
spend
wisely
save
live
within
our
means
and
invest
for
the
future.
In
that
way,
I'm
glad
to
publicly
distinguish
myself
and
my
party
from
the
other
parties.
My
congratulate
councilor
Harvey
on
presenting
such
a
clear,
coherent
budget
statement.
There
are
Parts.
You
won't
be
surprised
to
hear
that
I
disagree
with,
but
what
is
most
remarkable
is
that
he
can
present
his
group
as
having
agreed
policy
positions
when
I
suspect.
G
We've
heard
tonight
from
Gavin
councilor,
Gavin
James,
true
to
form
he
offers
a
comedic
diversion
from
the
serious
business
of
politics
in
this
Borough.
At
the
last
minute.
The
lib
Dems
have
come
up
with
their
own
budget
proposal
to
raise
council
tax
by
the
maximum
of
just
under
five
percent,
and
they
want
to
allocate
the
money
on
concessions
for
buses,
which
I
thought
were
Hampshire's
responsibility,
but
the
exact
details
will
be
thought
up
later.
G
I
rest,
my
case,
you
have
one
minute,
despite
all
of
the
shocks
we've
had
to
deal
with
recently,
we
have
weathered
the
storm
well,
as
this
budget
shows,
and
this
is
because
we
know
how
to
manage
the
finances
of
this
Council
and
reap
the
benefits
of
our
property
portfolio.
This
enables
us
to
invest
in
more
and
better
Services
compared
to
our
original
budget
for
services
in
22
23
of
33.5
Million.
By
the
end
of
2027,
we
are
forecasting
net
expenditure
of
43.15
million,
an
increase
of
28
percent
over
four
years
and
28
more
full-time
employees.
G
Strong
sound
finances
also
power,
a
big
Capital
program
of
an
investment.
We
plan
to
invest
over
111
million
on
projects
over
the
next
four
years,
and
there
is
a
commitment
from
the
administration
to
build
a
new
acrodome
that
will
cost
in
the
order
of
40
million.
So
I
commend
this
mtfs
and
budget
2
Council
setting
out
a
clear
program
of
expenditure
and
investment
for
the
next
four
years
and
delivering
a
balanced
budget
for
the
two
years
ahead.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
Mayor
I'm
pleased
to
report
quite
a
lot
of
discussion.
That's
happened
about
coming
to
some
common
agreement
with
this
first
amendment
in
summary,
and
it
is
laid
out
on
the
paperwork.
What
this
first
amendment
does
is
make
puts
an
additional
one
million
pounds
into
the
cost
of
living
alleviation
funds.
We
have
already
had
one
million
pounds
in
the
cost
of
living
alleviation
funds.
C
A
fund
that
was
created
by
the
conservative
administration
of
this
Borough
I
am
pleased
to
report
that
actually,
we've
supported
I
think
it's
just
under
1
300
households
so
far
and
delivered
just
over
800
000
pounds
worth
of
the
current
one
million.
So
it
is
significant
that
we
are
able
and
have
the
finances
to
be
able
to
assist
our
residents
with
funding,
whether
that
funding
supports
food
or
energy
costs.
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
C
D
Yes,
Mr
Mayor
I'm
I'm
happy
to
have
second.
This
amendment
and
I
was
very
interested
to
hear
the
seconding
of
the
original
budget
trying
to
shoot
down
arguments
in
Flames
when
I've
been
drafting
these
amendments,
and
why
is
it
that
we've
got
such
a
great
budget
if
we're
having
to
amend
it
and
the
council
Leaders
Moving
in
Amendment?
Thank
you.
B
H
I
just
want
to
say
a
few
words
about
getting
these
areas
done.
It's
quite
interesting.
All
this
investment,
but
I've
never
seen
it
in
any
of
the
any
of
the
worlds.
I've
represented
I've
been
promised
for
years,
represented
Buckskin
for
years.
Regeneration
never
happened,
but
no
worries
going
to
South
Elm
in
particular,
it
needs
regeneration.
We
all
talk
the
talk
over
there,
but
nothing
ever
happens.
We're
talking
about
the
Leisure
Park.
H
I
I
But
if
you're
a
carer
own
carer's
allowance
or
if
you're
receiving
industrial
payment,
injury
payments
you're
not-
and
there
are
many
people
that
have
carers
allowance
who
have
carers
allowance
for
looking
after
children
or
elderly
and
sometimes
receiving
two
payments
relating
to
two
children.
So
we
have
people
in
our
world
that
have
not
received
this
payment.
So
I
urge
you
to
look
at
that
again
and
also
when
the
changes
took
place
last
time
around.
B
C
I,
probably
would
just
take
the
opportunity
just
to
confirm
a
lot
of
what
councilor
James
has
requested,
that
a
lot
of
that
is
already
in
place
and
I.
Think
if
members
aren't
aware
in
the
chamber,
they
should
be
aware
that,
of
course,
we
do
regularly
look
at
who's
applying
what
the
qualifying
criteria
are,
so
that
it
is,
if
you
like,
quite
flexible
as
far
as
as
it
moves
forwards
and
also
once
the
year
is
up
for
others
to
reapply
so
just
to
make
sure
we're
all
clear
on
that
Mr.
Thank
you.
B
B
F
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
I,
I,
just
will
start
by
correcting
councilor
Isaac,
something
we
all
have
to
do
regularly.
The
County
Council
are
responsible
for
subsidizing
bus
routes,
not
individual
tickets
in
this
motion
is
about,
or
amendment
is
about
that.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
talk
about
the
cost
of
living
crisis.
F
We
have
lots
of
schemes,
we've
seen
schemes
last
year,
talking
about
helping
people
with
food
and
and
fuel
costs,
and,
of
course,
now
we've
hopefully
got
a
more
flexibility
in
the
scheme
that
we
have
coming
forward
this
year.
However,
it
is
very
apparent
that
the
cost
of
living
crisis
doesn't
just
hit
those
at
the
bottom
below
that
sort
of
Band
of
pay.
Essential
workers
keep
Basingstoke
moving.
They
are
the
people
that
are
going
to
the
supermarkets
tonight
to
fill
them
up
for
the
morning.
F
They're
the
people
who
service
our
coffee
they're
the
people
who
keep
our
hospitals
clean.
They
are
very
important
people
and
often
they
don't
get
any
benefits.
Their
wages
didn't
go
up
by
10.
They
are
on
quite
a
low
and
modest
income.
Now,
at
the
moment,
a
mega
Rider
costs
20
pounds
that
will
get
you
to
work,
but
it
obviously
means
that
a
lot
of
your
money
is
gone
on
that
Mega
Ride
a
ticket
we
could
potentially
and
I
don't
know.
We'd
have
to
work
with
Stagecoach.
Look
to
reduce
that
cost.
F
F
Now
it
doesn't
matter
whether
you're
wealthy
enough
to
not
suffer
from
the
cost
of
living
crisis
or
so
poor
that
you
are
very
much
stuck
in
it.
10P
will
not
make
a
difference,
but
you
know
what,
if
you're
working
hard
on
a
low
income
and
you
get
to
work
and
you're
saving
500
pounds
because
we're
subsidizing
your
mega
Rider.
That
makes
a
big
difference
and
that's
really
what
this
is
about.
We've
got
Council
of
this
bounds
and
here's
10p
little
change,
small
change
or
you
can
have
a
big
difference
with
this
amendment.
F
I
also
and
I
get
to
know
that
I,
don't
counselor
Morrow
keeps
dragging
me
out
to
King's
clear
it's
my
second
home
now,
I,
quite
like
it
out
there
and
you
know,
cost
of
living
happens
out
there.
Now
in
the
town,
I'm
quite
lucky,
I
can
walk
to
Tesco's
I
can
walk
to
Sainsbury's
Iceland
waitrose
I
can
shop
the
bargains
at
night,
I
can
nip
over
to
Audi
a
little,
so
I
can
save
money
if
I
need
to.
F
If
you
live
in
Kingsley
you've
got
to
come
into
town
to
do
that.
There
isn't
a
supermarket
there's,
no
direct
Kings
clear
to
tadley
Route
either
for
the
access
the
facilities
entadly.
The
problem
is,
if
you
come
to
town,
to
save
six
quid
on
your
shopping
and
your
bus
fare
is
going
to
cost
you
about
eight
quid
to
get
there
and
back,
but
it's
a
gift
of
or
even
more,
if
you'll
bring
children
with
you
I
know
it's
two
quid
at
the
moment,
but
that's
not
blasting
forever.
F
Then
you
can't
avoid
the
high
cost
of
local
shops
or
you've
got
to
pay
to
travel
in
so
the
cost
of
living
affects
everyone.
So
we
could
look
at
discounts
where
people
could
get
to
town,
perhaps
a
couple
of
trips
a
month
very
cheaply.
We
can
look
at
all
the
ideas
and
options,
but
it
would
actually
help
people
really
help.
People
10p
is
not
helping
anybody
and
if
you
think
it
is,
then
you
need
to
get
out
and
knock
on
a
few
more
doors.
F
The
next
thing
is,
we
do
have
a
climate
training
strategy
and
it's
important
that
we
actually
put
policies
in
place
to
support
that.
We
also
have
a
clean
air
strategy.
We
should
put
policies
in
place
to
support
them
now,
if
reducing
bus
costs
for
certain
people
meant
that
some
people
who
currently
drive
because
the
bus
seems
to
be
too
expensive,
switched
to
the
bus,
it
could
make
a
real
difference.
If
200
people
switched
from
the
car
to
the
bus,
that's
200
trips
to
work,
200,
ships,
home
from
work,
that's
400,
ships
a
day.
F
That's
a
thousand
trips!
No,
it's
not
2
000
trips
a
week.
So
it's
checking
my
maths
at
the
spirit
is
uncomfortable.
There's
2,
000
trips
a
week,
that's
just
over
a
hundred
thousand
car
trips
a
year.
How
many
CO2
emissions
with
that
save
you
have
just
under
woman?
How
many
particulates
would
no
longer
be
going
into
our
atmosphere,
so
we
could
achieve
clean
air.
We
could
achieve
climate
change,
we
could
address
the
cost
of
living
now.
This
is
set
up
for
the
next
two
years.
F
It
may
not
work
I
totally
accept
that,
but
we
have
an
opportunity
this
year.
If
we're
not
having
to
raise
council
tax
to
fund.
What's
already
in
the
budget,
we
can
do
more
for
our
residents,
a
small
amount
I'm
asking
for
for
10p.
If
we
can
help
many
people
through
the
cost
of
living
crisis,
we
can
help
with
climate
change
clean
up
the
air
quality.
It's
worth
it
if,
in
two
years
time
it
hasn't
worked.
F
B
J
G
Yes,
Mr
Mayor.
My
objection
to
this
is
one
of
principle.
Really
it
may
be
a
small
amount,
but
it's
the
principle
of
tax
increases
and
I
think
that
many
of
our
residents
would
welcome
this
Council,
taking
a
stand
in
not
increasing
the
tax
and
I.
Think
it's
a
point
also
that
we
don't.
We
shouldn't
always
think
that
we
know
how
best
to
spend
people's
money
and
particularly
in
an
instance
where
a
scheme
has
been
dreamed
up
at
the
last
minute
to
provide
concessionary
bus
fares.
K
Thank
you,
Mr
man
I
just
on
councilor
James's
point
about
kingsclair.
If
he
understood
anything
about
small
villages,
he
would
understand
that
local
people
enjoy
using
local
stores
and
in
kingsclair
we
have
the
benefit
of
a
butchers.
We
have
Swan
Street
stores,
providing
everything
through
the
pandemic
when
people
didn't
have
or
didn't
want
to
go
on
buses-
and
we
have
a
very
important
chemist.
These
things
are
really
vital
and
so
to
dismiss
it
that
they
can't
go
to
a
supermarket.
K
Well,
they
can't
go
to
a
supermarket,
because
actually
the
Liberals
didn't
support
the
Liberals
in
tablet.
They
were
against
it,
but
thankfully
that
thankfully
we
managed
to
get
it
through.
I
helped
on
the
appeal.
I
didn't
see
any
liberals
helping
on
that
appeal.
They
didn't
turn
up
for
when
the
inspector
was
examining
West
berkshire's
decision
to
refuse
it.
K
L
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
I
I
would
like
to
Echo.
Other
people
have
said
about
the
detail
in
the
budget.
Thank
you.
It's
remarkable
I've
done
a
job
similar
to
Susan
in
the
past,
and
I've
never
had
the
benefit
of
so
much
detail,
but
what
it
does
allow
me
to
do
is
to
look
at
a
budget
holistically
and
there's
just
a
few
things.
L
I
want
to
draw
to
all
members
attention
just
before
just
and
it
just
ask
you
to
just
think
before
you
vote,
because
I
think
you
know
on
the
face
of
it
not
raising
council
tax
is,
is
great,
great
news,
everyone's
everyone's
happy
with
that.
But
I
think
that
there's
just
a
few
numbers
in
here
I
want
to
draw
attention
to
and
I
just
think
we
should
think
carefully.
So
this
medium-term
financial
strategy
has
a
deficit
in
years.
Three
and
four.
L
So
there's
some
detail
there
about
the
inflation
assumptions,
but
I
just
want
to
draw
your
attention
to
the
primary
one,
which
is
that
this
budget,
this
medium-term
financial
strategy,
assumes
that
inflation
is
two
percent.
Now
last
time,
I
checked
the
office
of
national
statistics
said
that
CPI
inflation
was
10.1
in
January.
L
So
what
happens
if
inflation
is
higher,
which
it
is
and
stays
higher,
which
we
don't
know
but
which
we
expect?
Perhaps
so
so
the
risk
register
says
the
likelihood
of
this
assumption.
Being
wrong
is
significant,
which
means
there's
50
to
85
percent
chance
that
this
estimate
will
be
wrong.
It
then
goes
on
to
say
that,
what's
the
impact
of
that,
if
it's
wrong-
and
at
the
moment
it
says
it's
marginal,
which
means
that
it's
less
than
less
than
three
million
quid
is
marginal.
L
L
If
inflation
stays
at
8.3
percent
throughout
it
doesn't
have
to
be
throughout
the
life
of
the
budget.
If
it's
early
on
in
the
budget,
it
will
have
a
knock-on
effect
for
the
following
years.
Then
it
moves
into
catastrophic
okay,
which
means
a
loss
of
income
of
10
million
pounds
or
more
so
holistically.
L
When
we
look
at
this
budget,
we
just
need
to
think
about
what
are
we
giving
up
we're
giving
up
a
permanent
right
under
the
legislation
to
raise
money,
to
invest
in
services
and
or
property
or
hotels
for
our
residents
and
councilor
Isaac
points
out
with
part
of
his
speech
that
he's
quite
happy
to
invest
in
hotels
and
generate
a
decent
return
for
for
residents,
so
that
we
don't
have
to
raise
council
tax
as
much?
Let
me
just
show
you
the
other
side
of
that
coin.
L
L
You
have
one
minute,
but
then
keep
that
350
000
pounds
in
perpetuity
and
there's
a
formula
to
work
out.
The
value
of
that
and
the
value
of
that
350
000
pounds
in
perpetuity
is
17.5
million
pounds
think
about
what
we
could
do
with
17.5
million
pounds.
I've
got
a
couple
of
ideas
for
you:
we
could
have
an
Olympic
pool
on
the
Leisure
Park
right
and
create
a
drawer
for
this
Borough.
We
could
even
build
more
than
I
believe
one
stand.
L
Possibly
two
stands
on
a
community
football
pitch,
so
I
say
that
this
Council,
this
Administration,
has
elected
not
to
raise
council
tax
because
it's
a
cheap,
five
pound
buying
of
votes
on
leaflets
in
April,
whereas
we
I'm
here
for
the
long
term,
I
hope
I'm
here
for
the
long
term
and
I
want
to
invest
in
the
future
of
Basingstoke
and
I.
Just
think
that
we
need
to
put
this
budget
doesn't
put
the
people's
interests
first
and
I
support
the
raising
council
tax
I,
don't
necessarily
support
spending
it
on
Megabus,
but
I.
L
M
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
wasn't
going
to
speak,
but
believe
it
or
not.
Somebody
has
just
said
something
that
made
me
quite
cross,
so
I
will
address
the
concerns
that
were
raised.
Firstly,
I.
Don't
think
anyone
is
suggesting
that
local
shops
shouldn't
be
used
and
I
certainly
don't
think
that
people
should
think
that
this
is
aimed
to
prevent
people
having
good
businesses
in
any
Village,
including
Kingston.
However,
council
ratican
is
incorrect.
That
liberal
Democrats
entirely
did
not
support
Lidl.
M
M
M
It
is
also
to
attend
all
the
other
things
all
the
Delights
that
are
available
in
the
center
of
Basingstoke,
which
are
not
available
to
those
of
us
who
live
out
in
the
rural
six
even
internally.
So
I
would
say.
Please
support
this
amendment
because
we
can
do
something
with
that
money.
It
might
not
be
exactly
as
we
say,
because
we
said
we
will
look
at
it,
but
don't
dismiss
it
out
of
hand
and
I
agree
fully
with
the
comments
made.
M
M
An
awful
lot
of
us
have
got
a
lot
of
experience,
a
lot
of
skills,
either
from
business
or
from
things
that
we
do,
and
if
you
use
some
of
those
skills,
perhaps
you
wouldn't
be
coming
forward
with
ideas
that
can
be
dismissed
has
to
be
wait
till
we
get
here
before
they
get
dismissed.
I.
Ask
you
to
support
the
amendment.
Thank
you.
N
Thank
you.
Mr
Mia
and
I
recognize
councilor,
slimmons
expertise.
She
reminds
us
of
it
on
a
regular
basis.
I
have
to
admit
I'm
fairly
shell-shocked.
Listening
to
the
opposition
today,
I
do
have
some
work
that
I
had
prepared
to
speak
to,
however
I
don't
want
to
go
too
far
off
script
and
I.
Never
thought
I'd
be
sitting
here.
Listening
to
the
liberal
democrats,
advocating
for
increasing
the
tax
burden
on
our
residents
during
a
cost
of
living
crisis.
Let's
be
absolutely
clear
here.
N
The
council
tax
freeze
will
result
in
our
residents
having
one
of
the
lowest
rates
of
council
tax
in
the
southeast
of
England,
let
alone
Hampshire.
A
quick,
quick
message
to
councilor
James
as
well.
I
do
think
Council
Gavin
James
might
need
to
check.
He's
picked
up
the
right
speech
before
he
leaves
the
house
next
time:
more
Borough
Council
unless
third
place
lived
in
parliamentary
candidate,
please
a
bit
of
advice
for
councilor
James
from
a
new
councilor
spend
less
time
on
the
pantomime
Dam
material.
N
Do
your
job
as
a
word,
counselor
get
the
Memorial
Park
well
fixed
in
your
word,
listening
to
opposition
counselors.
They
criticize
this
administration's
investment
strategy.
Let
me
list
some
examples
of
our
property
investment
strategy.
Mr
Mayor.
These
are
investments
made
from
2017
onwards,
Armstrong
Road
returns
of
13
Bell
Road
returns
of
17
list,
the
road
returns
of
8.1
percent
Mr
Mayor,
the
bank
of
England
base
rate
at
the
end
of
March
2022
was
not
0.75
percent.
N
This
Council
was
achieving
an
investment
return
on
our
future
investment
strategy
of
7.4
I'd
suggest
that's
a
very
good
rate
of
return
compared
to
the
base
rate.
Let
us
all
be
under
No
Illusion.
This
administration's
prudent
financial
management
have
resulted
in
as
being
able
to
absorb
some
of
the
cost
of
living
impact
to
all
of
our
residents,
as
well
as
continuing
to
deliver
targeted
cost
of
living
support
packages
to
those
most
that
need.
This
Administration
has
delivered
the
cost
of
living
assistance
fund,
providing
a
million
pound
worth
of
Support.
N
B
C
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
just
want
to
clear
up
a
couple
of
points
because
it
is
always
great
having
lots
and
lots
of
experts
in
the
chamber.
Isn't
it
I
just
wanted
to
pick
up
the
point
about
assumptions
I
think
in
other
Pages
you'll
find
that
it
clearly
states
that
energy
contract
and
pay
inflation
are
separately
addressed
in
the
budget
and
most
other
inflation
will
impact
on
Capital
schemes.
Also,
when
we
start
talking
about
Capital
schemes,
they
make
significant
assumptions
about
inflation
costs.
C
So
that's
really
important
to
pick
up
as
far
as
those
of
us
who
are
technically
minded
as
far
as
the
financial
paperwork.
Speaking
specifically
to
this
amendment
I
think
we're
conflating
two
issues
here:
Mr
Mayor,
we
have
a
climate
change
Reserve,
it's
absolutely
here
to
achieve
much
of
what
has
been
discussed
as
far
as
those
initiatives
and
are
focused
for
clean
air
and
for
reducing
carbon
emissions.
C
Our
council
plan
very
much
talks
about
working
with
Partners.
We've
talked
about
Hampshire
County
Council.
We
should
talk
about
Stagecoach.
We
should
talk
about
our
reserves.
Our
reserves
are
there
with
climate
change
to
leverage
other
people's
money.
I
would
rather
agree
with
our
climate
chair
of
change
objectives
that
we
spend
other
people's
money
first
and
we
use
a
small
element
of
ours
which
is
already
in
the
climate
Reserve
to
ensure
that
they
are
encouraged
and
encouraged
to
do
it
first
in
basins
token
Dean.
Thank
you.
Mr
Mayor,.
O
Thank
you,
I
feel
cancer.
Ratigan
has
spoken
well
for
local
businesses
in
Kingston
and
and
the
residents,
but
unfortunately
we
have
to
represent
all
the
residents
in
an
award
and
I've
knocked
on
doors
in
Kings,
clear
and
it's
there's
places
that
I
do
have
deprivation
and
these
these
areas
they
not
only
missed
the
bus
service
they
once
had,
but
also
in
this
cost
of
living
crisis,
they're
failing
to
to
afford
to
use
bus
that
they
do
have
so
I.
They
simply
can't
afford
the
butchers.
You
know,
entadly.
O
B
P
You
very
much
Mr
Mayor
I,
just
want
to
say
I'm,
very
conflicted
on
this
Amendment
on
the
one
level.
I
completely
agree
with
cancer.
Basham
I
think
his
Point's
very
well
made
on
the
other.
I
do
believe
that
buses
are
the
responsibility
of
the
county
and
Council.
James,
obviously,
is
also
a
double
Hatter
and
he
represents
the
county
and,
whilst
I
completely
agree
that
we've
got
massive
problems
in
very
poor
provision
of
buses
in
our
Borough.
P
I
understand
are
extremely
high
because
on
secondary
property
portfolio
Investments,
what
you
have
is
you
have
you
go
chasing
high
yield,
but
the
capital
depreciation
of
that
original
investment
doesn't
hold.
It
goes
down.
So
the
interesting
question
for
all
of
us
in
this
chamber
is
councilorize
that
might
very
well
have
hit
those
staggering
yields
when
he
invested
that
35
million,
when
he
was
only
given
permission
for
30.
But
what
will
be
the
end
value
of
that
30
million?
P
P
One
other
thing
that
I
just
wanted
to
say
in
in
in
in
response
to
this
amendment
is,
whilst
it's
laudable,
it's
County
Council
eyes
had
also
made
a
very
peculiar
statement
because
he
said
I
represent
the
party
that
reduces
tax
well,
the
reality
is
when
the
County
Council
part
of
our
council
tax
goes
up
by
five
percent.
I
do
have
to
remind
you,
Council,
Isaac,
that
they
are
a
conservative
dominated
Council.
P
So
when
our
residents
receive
their
Council
bill,
it
will
not
be
reduced
because
of
in
the
small
section
because
of
this
no
overall
control,
conservative
Council
they
will
be
receiving
a
real
increase
in
their
council
tax
this
year
because
of
a
conservative,
LED
County
Council,
who
are
incapable
of
delivering
us
proper
bus
services
and
a
whole
lot
of
other
things.
Finally,
councilor
Basha
made
a
reference
to
this
deficit
in
2025,
2026
and
I.
Just
wanted
a
flag
that
that's
a
little
Nuance.
P
You
might
not
know,
because
you've
had
been
here
very
long
and
it's
a
bug
bear
of
mine
I've
had
to
deal
with
casarizer
and
his
crew
for
many
years
over
this.
It's
not
a
criticism
of
the
officers
at
all,
but
every
year
for
the
last
I,
don't
know
how
many
years
this
Administration
has
said.
Oh
it's
awful
we've
got
a
terrible
deficit
going
forward.
P
We've
got
increase
the
tax
by
five
percent
because
the
government
isn't
going
to
give
us
any
new
homes
bonus
next
year
and
guess
what
every
year
we've
received,
New
Hampshire
bonus,
it
might
have
been
reducing,
but
we've
received
new
homes
bonus.
So
the
project,
if
you
look
at
the
predictions
every
year
and
then
you
look
at
the
actual
receipt
they
bear
no
resemblance
to
each
other.
So
what
happens
in
the
year
that
Council
bash
was
talking
about
2025?
P
That's
when
our
officers
have
made
an
assumption
that
the
government
is
not
going
to
give
us
any
money.
Well,
I'm
telling
you
that,
irrespective
of
which
government's
going
to
be
in
power,
that
is
a
little
accounting
game,
because
if
it's
not
new
homes
bonus,
it
will
be
something
else.
It
might
be
less,
but
it
will
be
something
else
and
therefore
it
is
not
an
accurate
reflection
of
where
our
true
accounts
will
be
in
two
years
time.
Thank
you
very
much,
foreign.
B
J
You
they
say
Mr
Mayor,
that
the
best
ideas
can
be
explained
very
quickly,
because
the
strength
of
the
idea
can
speak
for
itself
and
I.
Think
we've
got
the
case
here
so
I'm
going
to
be
brief
for
just
10p.
We
can
support
our
most
financially
vulnerable
residents,
who
are
struggling
with
the
high
cost
of
fuel.
We
can
reduce
traffic
across
our
Borough
and
we
can
help
to
tackle
our
climate
emergency.
We've
got
a
proposal
in
front
of
us
that
can
make
a
big
difference
for
residents
from
very
little
additional
cost.
J
F
James
to
someone
that's
actually
fine,
Mr
Murphy
a
very
confusing
evening.
First
of
all,
I
just
need
to
do.
I've
got
to
correct
counselor
eyes.
Again,
it's
getting
boring
right.
Let
me
explain:
we
had
a
medium
term
Financial
strategy
last
year
and
it
said
that
this
year
we
would
increase
council
tax
by
five
pounds
and
you
voted
for
it
now.
If
you
go
back
two
years,
we
had
a
medium-term
financial
strategy.
F
That
said,
council
tax
have
got
five
pound
this
year
or,
and
you
voted
for
it
in
fact
three
years
ago,
I
think
it
also
indicated
the
occurring
around
500
and
you
voted
for
it.
So
what
I'm
suggesting
is
we
carry
on
for
the
thing
that
you
voted
for
three
times
so
I
don't
know:
what's
happened
in
the
last
12
months?
F
Maybe
you've
got
a
bit
more
confused,
but
certainly
it
just
seems
very
odd
that
you
say
you're
against
council
tax
increases,
particularly
this
increase
that
you've
voted
four
more
times
than
I
have
because
I've
host
all
those
budgets,
Council
Cuba,
is
absolutely
right.
County
Council
today
agreed
an
increase
of
69
pounds.
It's
going
obviously
no
pounds
and
the
conservative,
police
and
crime
commissioner
I
believe
is
12
pound,
but
I
bought
the
wrong
laptop.
So
I
can't
double
check
that,
so
both
conservative
bodies
are
putting
council
tax
up.
F
I
mean
done
nothing
against
local
shops,
local
businesses,
in
fact,
my
world's
full
of
them
I'm
not
against
local
businesses
and
I
hope
they
encourage
them
to
thrive.
In
fact,
it
might
be
good
for
them
to
get
on
the
bus
and
get
supplies
maybe,
but
what
I
do
think
is
that
choice
is
a
wonderful
thing
now,
once
upon
a
time
the
conservatives
believed
in
choice
and
people
having
Choice.
F
Obviously
it's
different
now
in
the
strange
Republic
that
you're
trying
to
create
out
there,
but
yeah
I
believe
in
choice
and
customer
consumer
choice,
and
they
can
travel
to
a
variety
of
businesses
I'm
not
quite
sure
what
we're
trying
to
create,
but
nothing
against
local
businesses.
I
will
visit
the
butchers
next
time,
I'm
in
to
get
my
tofu.
Thank
you.
B
B
C
H
B
B
R
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
The
council
has
a
long
tradition
of
providing
significant
investment
to
the
voluntary
and
charitable
sector
in
the
borough.
Members
will
note
the
additional
grants
opposite
Post
in
the
papers
to
support
planned
increase
activity
related
to
new
grants,
starting
in
the
next
fiscal
year,
we've
undertaken
a
review
of
our
community
and
voluntary
sector
funding,
which
has
helped
us
identify
improvements
and
changes.
We
can
make
to
ensure
that
our
investment
effectively
achieves
the
best
outcomes
for
our
residents,
as
well
as
supporting
the
voluntary
sector.
R
These
are
very
challenging
times
for
us
all,
with
massive
increases
in
Energy
prices
and
the
cost
of
borrowing
which
have
heavily
impacted
on
household
budgets,
with
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
communities.
Hardest
hit.
I
was
pleased
that
this
Administration
allocated
one
million
pounds
to
assist
households
on
low
incomes
as
the
cost
of
living
assistance
grant.
Nearly
900
000
pounds
has
been
allocated
and
I
welcome.
R
The
proposal
to
extend
this
grant
with
a
further
million
of
funding
next
year
as
the
portfolio
holder
for
communities
I,
am
pleased
that
the
planned
reduction
in
Borough
Community
grants
in
2324
has
been
scrapped
and,
yes,
I
did
vote
for
that.
But
things
have
changed
and
I
think
now
is
not
the
time
to
reduce
our
support
to
voluntary
and
charitable
groups
which
provide
vital
services
and
are
also
severely
challenged
with
increased
operating
costs.
R
Councilor
John,
Isaac
and
I
have
therefore
worked
with
cabinet
colleagues
and
officers
to
create
the
proposed
Community
infrastructure
fund,
so
that
organizations
can
invest
in
their
premises
for
the
benefit
of
people
using
their
services,
increasing
their
income
and
making
environmental
improvements.
This
will
provide
2.2
million
of
funding
over
the
next
four
years
with
three
hundred
thousand
available
in
2324.
R
These
grants
are
all,
in
addition
to
other
financial
support
available
from
County
and
National
initiatives.
We
are
fortunate
that
our
sound
financial
management
of
council
resources
enables
us
to
offer
higher
values
of
community
grants
than
other
similar
size
councils
are
set
out
in
the
papers.
The
council
has
also
been
allocated
one
million
pounds
over
the
next
three
years
from
the
national
UK
shared
Prosperity
fund
and
430
000
pounds
over
the
next
two
years
from
the
rural
England
Prosperity
fund.
R
These
are
a
welcome
mix
of
Revenue
and
capital
grants
from
the
government's
leveling
up
initiative,
focusing
on
community
needs
and
infrastructure,
employment,
culture
and
tourism
and
climate
change.
I
am
therefore
delighted
to
be
supporting
the
proposed
medium-term
Financial
strategy
and
budget
update
report.
Thank
you.
S
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
I'm,
very
proud
of
facing
steak
and
Dean's
Borough
council's
historical
and
Current
financial
record.
We
provide
excellent
value
for
money
and
ensure
services
are
delivered
and
run
to
a
high
standard
with
the
cost
of
living.
Rising.
Now
is
the
time
more
than
ever,
for
the
council
to
step
up
to
support
residents.
S
One
of
these
many
things
we
are
offering
is
a
council
tax
freeze.
We
say
we
offer
value
for
money
and
the
facts
certainly
support
our
bold
statement
at
the
end
of
2022.
We
have
the
13th
lowest
rate
of
council
tax
in
the
Southeast,
and
the
fifth
lowest
in
Hampshire
are
position
and
record
May
improve
in
the
next
financial
year,
because
of
us
being
one
of
the
only
five
councils
nationally
who
are
freezing
their
part
of
the
council
tax.
S
Our
residents
may
ask
or
be
concerned
that
this
freeze
will
result
in
slipping
standards
and
lowest
levels,
lower
levels
of
service.
This
will
not
happen
as
we
know
how
to
deliver
high
standards
and
keep
the
cost
for
our
residents
low.
This
has
been
proven
by
us,
as
we
are
currently
listed
as
the
second
highest
spend
on
public
services
per
head
in
the
south
east
in
the
southeast
of
England.
We
can
therefore
confirm
the
high
levels
of
quality
services
we
are
providing
will
be
maintained
under
this
conservative
Administration
and
therefore
I
support
this
budget.
Thank
you.
P
P
The
theme
throughout
all
these
previous
plans
were
to
protect
our
environment,
improve
our
residence
quality
of
life,
supporting
those
who
need
it,
regenerating
priorities,
residential
areas
including
south
ham,
Buckskin,
winklebury
and
Northern.
Protecting
and
restoring
and
reconnecting
and
expanding
biodiversity,
improving
water
quality,
improving
our
landscape,
improving
our
air
quality,
improving
the
top
of
town
value
and
improve
our
cultural
offerings
by
improving
and
supporting
sporting
opportunities,
supporting
the
wonderful
Anvil,
regenerating
the
Leisure
Park,
regenerating
basing
view
building
a
first
class
development
on
many
dance,
safeguarding
our
local
distinctiveness,
etc,
etc,
etc.
P
Now,
even
our
approved
local
plan
required
us
to
improve
and
protect
our
precious
short
Rivers.
The
problem
with
the
council
plan
which
informs
the
budget
is
that
it
is
way
less
than
we've
ever
promised
before
it
Rose
back
from
all
of
the
previous
commitments
made
by
this
conservative
Administration,
and
it
now
says
that
we
will
endeavor
to
try
and
encourage
or
enable
with
others,
and
it
also
says
we
will
deliver
ourselves
or
take
a
lead
coordinating
and
if
I
go
through
the
action
plans
of
the
plan
which
informs
the
budget.
P
It
seems
that
a
cynic
might
think
that
those
which
we
have
to
deliver
have
already
been
met
and
those
which
we
are
have
failed
to
deliver.
Over
the
past
16
years
we've
been
under
when
we've
been
under
this
Administration
are
suddenly
the
responsibility
of
community
groups
and
environment
groups,
so
I'm
very
worried
about
this
budget
being
informed
by
a
plan
that,
frankly,
I
think,
is
a
shocking
example
of
transferring
of
accountability
to
others,
and
not
to
this
Administration
and
I
say.
P
Shame
on
this
conservative
Administration
for
are
trying
to
absolve
yourself
of
the
responsibilities
that
you
have
promised
our
residents
for
the
last
16
years.
You
have
failed
to
deliver
the
Leisure
Park.
You
have
failed
to
build
one
house
on
many
down.
Your
delays
have
caused
planning
in
this
Borough
to
be
like
the
wild
west.
As
we
have
no
five-year
housing
support,
you
have
failed
to
regenerate
buck
skin
you're
fail
to
regenerate
winklebury,
south
ham
or
Northern.
You
have
failed
to
deliver
in
basing
view
you
have
failed
to
revitalize
the
top
of
town.
P
You
have
failed
to
stop
inappropriate
development.
You
have
failed
to
engender
the
environment
or
to
support
a
good
positive
environment
for
the
festival
place.
We
have
a
lot
of
problems
in
Festival
place.
We
still
don't
have
5G
I,
don't
think
we
still
don't
have
any
place
making
changes
at
the
railway
station.
Even
though
we
spent
hundreds
of
thousands
of
pounds
on
Consultants
employed
by
cancer
Isaac
to
change
the
welcome
regard
for
our
visitors
that
are
coming
to
our
town.
Not
one
thing
has
been
done
at
the
railway
station
right.
P
You
have
to
support
and
stop
the
destruction
of
the
cameras
football
site.
You
have
failed
to
implement
your
sporting
strategy
pledges
2016-2025..
In
fact,
over
these
past
16
years,
you
have
tragically
failed
on
so
many
opportunities
and
and
I
repeat.
It
is
a
Litany
of
abject
failure
on
your
part,
so
this
budget,
which
is
predicated
on
a
on
a
plan
which,
quite
frankly,
on
your
track
record,
isn't
going
to
be
implemented.
P
P
So
and
I
just
want
to
finally
highlight
the
accounts,
because
this
is
really
important
because
because
this
Administration
have
changed
the
the
the
the
the
council
plan,
they're
not
going
to
have
to
show
this
nice
little
chart.
That's
in
the
accounts
that
are
having
been
I,
don't
think
they've
been
formulated,
but
anyway
there's
a
lot
of
downward
trajectory.
So
there's
damage
trajectory
and
delivery
of
all
of
our
key
services.
I,
don't
know
whether
any
of
your
residents
have
problems
with
planning,
but
my
residents
surely
have
a
lot
of
problems
with
planning.
P
I,
don't
know
whether
a
lot
of
your
residents
have
a
lot
of
problems
with
a
number
of
these
issues,
but
it's
red
red
across
the
board,
and
we
won't
get
that
comparison
going
forward.
So
Mr,
Mayor,
I'm,
really
sorry
but
I,
don't
have
any
faith
in
the
competence
of
this
Administration
I.
Don't
have
any
faith
in
them
delivering
the
castle
plan
and
since
the
budget
is
supposed
to
be
informed
by
this
Council
player,
I
don't
have
any
faith
in
them
delivering.
Thank
you.
I
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
before
this
Administration
Pats
themselves,
on
the
back
in
relation
to
the
voluntary
sector,
can
I
just
bring
to
your
attention
the
community
Furniture
project
at
the
moment,
I'm
not
sure
the
details.
I
didn't
actually
bring
the
detail
with
me
tonight,
because
I
didn't
think
I'd
stand
up
and
speak,
but
I
was
so
appalled
by
what
I
was
hearing
on
the
other
side
of
the
chamber.
Tonight
we
have
an
organization
that
I
think
it's
paying
about
48
000
pounds
in
rent.
Historically,
it
used
to
be
a
peppercorn
rent.
I
At
the
same
time,
they're
doing
the
work
of
this
Council
they're,
actually
recycling
our
white
goods
and
picking
up
our
white
goods
and
as
well
as
they
are
stopping
and
I,
don't
know
the
facts.
But
what
I
will
do
is
I
will
send
everybody
an
email
of
how
much
is
actually
being
stopped
from
going
into
landfill,
it's
enormous
as
to
what
they
do
and
what
is
being
achieved
and,
at
the
same
time,
at
Christmas.
I
They
set
up
a
grotto
to
give
presents
to
families
that
couldn't
afford
Christmas
and
they
supported
600
families
with
presents
and
what
they
did
is.
They
gave
one
major
big
present,
a
medium
present
and
lots
a
little
and
at
the
same
time
they
actually
supported
those
families
to
actually
wrap
those
presents,
and
it
was
exceptional
and
there
was
lots
of
tears
and
lots
of
thank
yous
but
they're
an
amazing
project
and
we
don't
support
them,
we're
not
doing
anything
to
support
them.
It's
shameful,
absolutely
shameful
that
we
are
charging
them
a
rent.
I
We
should
not
be
doing
that
and
at
the
same
time,
we've
got
the
cab
that
if
you
look
at
their
annual
report
and
I
went
to
the
to
actually
listen
to
their
annual
report.
This
year
around,
there
were
500
calls
that
are
not
answered
in
Basingstoke
in
a
week
because
they
don't
have
the
capacity
to
do
that.
We're
not
supporting
them
with
any
additional
money
and
we're
actually
squeezing
them
out,
and
so
we
should
be
doing
more.
T
Service
delivery
is
at
the
core
of
what
we
do
as
a
Borough
Council,
and
we
remain
committed
to
continuing
to
provide
good
quality
services
for
our
residents.
The
inclusion
of
a
new
resident
services
director
as
part
of
the
budget
when
enable
additional
senior
capacity
to
lead
on
the
continued
development
and
Improvement
of
our
Frontline
services
to
residents.
T
T
Whilst
we
have
continued
to
see
challenges
with
our
waste
collection
service
over
the
last
year,
thanks
to
the
dedication
of
our
hard-working
officer
team,
we
have
seen
significant
Improvement
in
recent
months
with
a
noticeable
stabilization
of
the
service.
The
work
to
continue
holding
our
contract
to
account
and
ensuring
residents
receive
a
good
quality
service
continues.
T
The
last
12
months
has
also
seen
a
significant
program
of
Works
delivered
for
the
aquadrome.
Ensuring
residents
can
continue
to
enjoy
and
use
the
Leisure
water
facilities.
We
also
continue
to
work
hard
with
the
service
provider
to
ensure
that
the
facility
is
well
maintained
and
residents
have
a
good
quality
experience
when
they
choose
to
visit
our
Leisure
facilities.
We
will
also
continue
to
see
investment
in
facilities
such
as
tadley
Health
Center,
which
is
much
needed
in
the
near
future.
T
Street,
cleanliness
and
grounds
maintenance
continues
to
be
a
priority
for
both
us
and
residents.
We
are
committed
to
ensuring
that
Basingstoke
continues
to
be
a
place.
That
residents
can
feel
proud
of.
This
last
year
saw
significant
improvement
in
our
approach
to
grass
cutting
learning
from
some
of
the
challenges
in
previous
years,
which
we
will
be
bringing
forward
again
into
this
forthcoming
Council
year.
We
also
have
a
significant
climate
challenge
ahead
of
us,
which
is
why
it's
so
important.
T
Through
our
service
delivery,
we
remain
intently
focused
on
how
we
can
best
shape
and
deliver
our
services
to
ensure
we
deliver
good
quality
services
for
residents,
while
striving
to
up
to
our
ambitious
targets
of
carbon
neutrality
and
finally,
Mr
Mayor
residents
must
remain
at
the
center
and
front
of
mind
when
it
comes
to
Service
delivery,
and
our
decision
should
remain
focused
on
providing
the
best
possible
services
for
them.
As
part
of
our
commitment
to
Residents,
we
will
be
delivering
a
new
customer
experience
strategy
coming
later
this
year.
T
The
first
time
in
summary,
Mr
Mayor
I,
will
be
supporting
the
budget
this
evening,
which
underpins
all
the
services
we
deliver
for
our
residents.
Our
residents
tell
us
they
are
proud
of
where
they
live,
and
by
supporting
this
budget,
we
will
ensure
that
Basingstoke
and
Dean
continues
to
be
a
place
where
we
and
our
residents
can
continue
to
be
proud
to
call
our
home.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
very
much,
Mr
Mayor.
Suffice
to
say
how
do
I
summarize
a
lot
of
what
what's
been
said.
I
think
how
I
would
summarize
it
is
a
moment
of
reflection,
a
moment
of
reflection.
We've
been
talking
about
a
year.
Haven't
we
it's
been
a
year
for
me
as
a
council
leader
and
very
much
looking
at
the
the
budget,
and
the
council
plan
was
a
process
of
reflection
and
looking
at
what
has
been
achieved,
what
some
of
the
Ambitions
that
perhaps
haven't
been
achieved
yet.
C
We
had
a
peer
review
team
who
do
what
you
and
I
do
sit
in
council
chambers
from
different
parties,
sit
amongst
us
and
say,
if
only
in
their
Authority,
they
could
have
the
ambition
and
the
track
record
of
delivery
that
we
have
had
that
shouldn't
contain
curtail
our
ambition,
but
actually,
interestingly,
they
thought
we
tried
too
hard
to
achieve
too
much
this
plan
and
this
budget
says
no.
We
will
set
out
what
we
want
to
achieve
and
we
will
put
our
elbows
to
the
grindstone
to
make
sure
we
deliver
it.
So
Mr
Mayor.
C
We
have
these
three
priorities.
We
have
a
plan
that
delivers
and
a
budget
where
we
can
ensure
that
we
can
deliver
those
priorities,
so
people
do
enjoy
and
are
happy
living
in
our
Borough,
where
we
can
protect
and
ensure
that
environment
flourishes
that
we
can
provide
and
continue
to
provide
good
quality
services
that
are
improving
and
that
we're
clear
about
our
ambition,
our
plan
and
our
future
resources
so
that
we
deliver.
Thank
you.
B
U
U
So
I
went
looking
for
the
data
from
this
resonance
survey
from
July
last
year
and
I
couldn't
find
it
Mr
Mayor,
it's
not
on
the
not
on
the
system.
Anywhere
I
mean
how
can
we
pass
judgment
on
those
statistics
when
we
can't
find
the
data
anywhere
on
on
the
council,
ether
anywhere
I
want
to
know
the
demographics
of
that
statistics
and
I
wanted
to
know
the
ward
split
down
as
well
so
I'd
like
to
guarantee
from
the
council
leader
that
he
would
give
that
information
to
all
councilors.
U
So
I
like
that
commitment.
So
we
can
now
go
back
to
the
council
plan
itself,
there's
actually
no
kpis.
In
this
council
plan.
You
have
to
go
back
to
the
the
cabinet
meeting
of
the
7th
of
February
to
actually
find
the
kpis,
so
you're
not
really
making
it
easy
and
accessible
for
counselors
to
understand
the
data
behind
this
council
plan.
U
So
you
talk
on
back
to
the
council
plan.
Again
we
talk
about
regeneration,
South,
Hammond
Buckskin.
It
says
the
objection.
The
objection
is
to
have
a
vision
statement
by
2024,
so
no
kpis
for
south
ham
and
Buckskin
regeneration,
the
the
two
most
deprived
Awards
in
the
whole
Borough
just
a
vision
statement.
This
is
embarrassing,
Mr
Mayor
and
it's
shameful
and
there's
also
no
mention
of
regeneration
in
this
plan
about
winkleberry
I
mean
after
17
years
of
historian,
ministration
we've
had
no
significant
regeneration
in
the
borough.
U
I
mean
councils
of
our
older
age
can
remember
the
previous
administration
that
we
actually
done.
Oakridge
Bishops
green
poply.
You
can
just
just
rolls
off
the
tongue
all
these.
These
marvelous
things
regenerated
in
the
previous
administration
done,
and
you
now
go
on
to
the
the
kpis.
You
say
you
want
to
improve
recycling
again.
U
There's
no
Baseline
figures
on
these
kpis
I
mean
how
can
you
what
what
were
you
measuring
against
I
mean?
Is
that
coming
into
a
business
that
would
be
just
thrown
out?
We
say
we
want
to
increase
recycling
in
the
next
couple
of
years.
But
what
is
the
Baseline
figure
now,
and
it
also
mentions
Household
Glass
with
Collections
and
in
the
in
these
kpis
they're,
actually
going
downwards
of
the
percentage
in
the
next
three
years.
So
I
don't
understand
that
an
electrical
charging
points
as
well
in
in
the
town.
U
What
is
it
now?
I
mean?
How
can
we
have
these
targets
and
you
have
a
deprivation
Target,
where
this
council
is
going
to
generate
initiatives
to
help
a
thousand
people,
but
how
many
people
we
are
helping?
Now
we
helping
fifteen
hundred
two
thousand,
we
just
don't
know
so
all
these
kpis
just
don't
have
any
Baseline
figures
and
it's
just
not
good
enough,
Mr
Mayor
and
it
all
this
needs
adding,
and
we
we
talk
about
deprivation
in
in
this
Borough
I
mean
at
the
end
of
last
year.
U
U
Deprivation
increased
actually
since
2015,
sorry
and
one
area
is
now
in
the
highest
20
percent
in
the
whole
of
the
country.
This
correlates
with
austerity.
So
access
to
healthcare
is
now
very
difficult.
Now
at
Gillies,
you
have
to
wait
five
weeks,
I,
remember
back
in
the
the
Blair
government
days
with
the
Daily
Mail
was
complaining.
We
had
to
wait
three
days
it's
five
weeks.
We
have
no.
We
have
less
police
officers
now
than
2010.
U
We
have
drug
dealing
on
our
streets
because
it's
uncontrolled,
we
have
a
sure
start
that
was
closed
several
years
ago
in
self-harm,
thus
limiting
the
options
for
child
care
and
we've
had
massive
cuts
to
our
services
and
we're
now
paying
more
taxes
than
we
have
ever
before.
If
you
could
wind
up,
please.
B
U
Is
it
says,
oh
these,
the
Tories
are
the
party
of
no
taxation
we're
paying
the
highest
taxation
in
this
we've
ever
paid
in
our
whole
lives
since,
since
the
Second
World
War,
so
I've
got
plenty
more
to
go
on,
but
I
won't
be
supporting
this.
This
council
plan,
because
it's
lacking
in
any
detail
it's
all
over
the
place
of
his
data,
and
it
has
no
plans
for
regeneration
and
tackling
inequality
in
this
Borough.
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.

A
quick

shows
that
health

housing
feature
in
both
what
makes
an
area
a
great
place
to
live,
and
what's
most
in
need
of
improvement.
So
these
are
key
areas
of
improved.
We
need
to
do
with
basal
Stone.
We
know
what
our
problems
are
housed
and
we
don't
have
enough
of
it.
We
don't
have

we're

cleanliness,
including

the

satisfaction
with

D
Well
I'm,
not
satisfied
with
the
state
of
some
of
our
streets,
and
none
of
my
residents
don't
get
me
wrong.
Our
cleaning
teams
do
a
tremendous
job,
but
public
has
issues
with
the
letter
Stone
around
our
Borough
and
they're,
not
particularly
Discerning
as
to
who
owns
the
land
or
where
it
is.
They
see
it
on
our
busiest
highways.
They
see
it
on
This,
Ring
Road.
They
see
it
on
the
slip
Road
off
the
M3
at
Junction
six.
It
gives
a
really
Grim
advertisement
that
you're
entering
Basingstoke.
D
D
D
Services
that
we
could
lose
and
we'd
have
to
go
to
Winchester
settlement,
a
third
our
size,
so
have
the
sort
of
things
that
we
currently
enjoy
at
Basingstoke,
which
is
a
great
hospital.
It's
just
suffering
from
a
really
serious
maintenance
backlog,
as
the
hasten
to
add,
is
a
lot
of
our
social
housing.
D
The
front
page
is
set
today
says
the
new
Chim
surgery
isn't
going
to
happen,
and
those
of
us
involved
with
winklebury
region
know
that
it's
being
shown
short
on
its
regeneration
proposals
as
well
and
I,
say
there
is
two
reasons
why
we're
in
the
mess
we're
in
the
first
one
is
13
years,
the
Tory
government
and
the
second
one
is
17
years
of
Tory
Council.
Thank
you.
Q
Thank
you,
Mr
May
I'm
pleased
to
seek
support
for
this
council
plan
before
us
this
evening
and
recommend
its
adoption.
I
wish
to
take
this
time
to
highlight
the
important
work
being
done
to
continue
to
prioritize
tackling
the
climate
change.
Basin
soaking
Dean
is
leading
the
way
in
this
area.
The
recent
peer
review
commented
on
how
progressed
we
are
and
said
that
the
amount
of
resource
and
actions
in
this
area
is
more
than
any
other
authority
they
have
seen
since
declare.
Q
In
a
climate
emergency
in
2019,
in
which
we
set
ambitious
targets,
we
have
reduced
our
own
emissions
by
two-thirds.
However,
if
we
are
to
be
a
net
zero
carbon
Borough
by
2030,
everyone
needs
to
do
their
bit.
We
as
a
council
take
our
responsibility
seriously
and
will
continue
to
enable
encourage
and
educate
residents
on
what
can
be
done
to
support
the
council
plan.
We
have
allocated
funds
for
a
new
Green
Team
to
make
Basin
so
can
Dean
even
more
green.
This
is
really
exciting.
Q
The
team
will
be
knocking
on
doors
meeting
residents
face
to
face
offering
them
advice
to
help
them
better
understand
how
to
make
a
real
difference.
In
the
fight
against
climate
change,
they
will
provide
advice
on
energy
saving
measures,
signposts
to
support
and
offer
guidance,
including
Grant
applications
and
understanding
utility
bills.
This
will
include
paying
for
epcs
to
enable
people
to
access
grant
funding.
They
will
be
able
to
Target
specific
areas
and
will
be
out
and
about
on
the
ground,
to
advise
on
cutting
admissions
from
travel,
how
to
improve
the
natural
environment
and
reduce
waste.
Q
The
natural
environment
is
also
extremely
important
to
this
Borough,
and
the
council
plan
supports
this.
We
have
declared
an
ecological
emergency.
We
have
invested
heavily
in
a
team
of
dedicated
Rangers
who
assist
in
improving
our
natural
environment.
Working
with
many
volunteers
across
the
borough
and
ongoing
projects
include
carbon
sequestration
and
projects
to
protect
our
chalk
streams.
Q
We
have
been
trial
in
HBO
race
fuel
in
our
mower
fleets
and
are
now
launching
this
in
other
vehicles.
It's
a
priority
to
decarbonize
our
Fleet
of
vehicles
and
we
are
working
with
Circo
to
get
HBO
in
our
waste
lorries.
We
continue
to
work
hard
to
increase
recycling
rates
and
are
working
with
Hampshire
to
board
and
what
can
be
recycled
whilst
ensuring
there
are
sustainable
markets
for
these
products
and
encouraging
the
reduction
of
waste.
In
the
first
place,
we
are
investing
by
employing
a
new
post,
a
new
head
of
climate
change.
Q
We
also
recognized
the
need
to
take
actions
to
improve
EV
charging.
Whilst
we
have
already
installed
a
number
of
new
charging
points,
more
are
needed.
We
have
allocated
funding
to
support
Hampshire
to
roll
out
on
Street
charges
and
we
will
look
to
ensure
new
local
plan
policies,
support
EV
charges
in
the
home
and
are
working
on
a
strategy
thing
together
all
the
threads
of
work
being
done
around
EV
charging.
The
budget
allocates
funds
for
an
EV
charging
Club
to
allow
those
that
don't
use
a
car
all
the
time
to
benefit
from
low
carbon
travel.
Q
The
council's
new
green
identity,
sustainable
Basin
Stoke,
has
launched
to
help
us
engage
with
different
groups
of
residents
to
encourage
joints
and
individual
action
on
climate
emergency.
We
recently
surveyed
local
Town,
Parish,
Council
and
Community
groups,
because
we
want
to
support
and
encourage
them
to
tackle
climate
change
and
based
on
this,
we
have
now
made
additional
support
available
to
help
them
Drive
sustainable,
Behavior
change
within
their
communities.
We
are
launching
a
walk-in
cycling
campaign
to
help
cut
carbon
emissions
in
this
campaign.
Q
Ask
people
to
choose
to
walk
or
cycle
more
often,
especially
if
they
can,
for
particular
for
shorter
Journeys.
We
also
cannot
get
bigger
projects
that
are
all
required,
and
that
is
why
I've
been
working
with
offices
and
cabinets
and
we'll
continue
to
do
so
to
look
to
increase
renewable
energy
generation
in
the
borough,
especially
in
relation
to
wind
and
solar,
which
will
be
needing
the
support
for
planning
policy
that
provides
a
positive
framework
within
which
to
consider
proposals
for
Renewables.
Q
We
have
already
invested
in
and
have
now
began
to
undertake
a
study
of
rooftop
solar
potential
across
the
borough,
which
will
then
allow
for
positive
conversation
with
building
owners
to
encourage
solar
on
their
buildings,
and
so
you
understand
the
scale
of
this.
This
will
mean
assessing
at
least

reaffirms
our
commitment

productive

are
currently

with

on
the
developments
of
a
vision
that
can
be
put
to
local

on
winklebury
councilor
cubis
and
councilor
Watts

that
Winkle

is
somehow
not
a

W
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I'd,
like
to
support
this
council's
council
plan
and
add
up.
I
would
like
to
become
a
couple
of
the
points
on
on
the
plan.
One
is
around
achieving
and
the
adoption
of
the
local
plan
for
our
borrower
to
kite
the
right
type
of
development,
including
a
new,
affordable
homes
to
meet
our
borrowers,
needs
and
local
circumstance
that
responds
to
our
changing
demographics.
So,
just
to
give
you
an
update
on
that
following
eph
committee,
the
council
will
be
responding
to
the
the
current
government.
W
Consultation
on
purpose
changes
to
the
planning
system
and
the
nppf
requesting
the
deletion
of
the
standard
methods,
as
the
starting
point
of
for
determining
housing
need.
So
changes
to
the
system
should
support
local
areas,
calculating
need
calculating
the
housing
requirement
on
an
objective
basis
using
local,
up-to-date
data,
so
we
will
be
augmenting
those
to
the
governor's
consultation,
so
the
modeling
work
on
housing
need
has
been
commissioned
to
enable
the
council
to
consider
a
suitable
housing
number
for
the
local
plan.
W
Moving
forward
further
work,
work
on
constraints
is
also
being
undertaken,
as
it's
the
the
the
completion
of
the
evidence-based
support
that
can
complement
the
regulation
18
consultation
later
this
year,
so
the
forthcoming
consultation
will
help
all
the
stakeholders,
residents
and
all
the
interest
parties
to
shape
the
plan
and
continue
the
conversation
about
developing
the
the
right
plan
suitable
for
the
at
the
borrower
shaped
by
the
residents.
So
that's
one
thing.
W
The
second
point
I
would
like
to
pick
up
on
is
the
the
the
enabling
urban
and
rural
community
communities
to
develop
neighborhood
plans
to
improve
their
local
areas.
So
the
council
continues
proactively
to
work
with
with
communities
in
supporting
the
development
of
the
neighborhood
plants.
At
this
very
meeting
later
today,
the
13th
neighborhood
plan
is
due
to
be
made
so
the
further
extending
the
wide
coverage
of
neighborhood
plans
across
the
borough
to
shape
their
the
local
areas.
B
W
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
a
number
of
other
plans
are
progressing
well,
while
a
growing
number
of
areas
are
now
looking
to
review
and
update
their
existing
neighborhood
plans
to
ensure
they
meet
objectives
into
their
future.
The
council
will
continue
to
support
communities
this
year,
guiding
them
through
any
changes
that
are
made
to
the
planning
system
at
the
national
National
level.
To
support
all
these
key
functions.
W
P
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
Mayor,
just
a
couple
of
things.
I
just
want
to
disabuse
everybody
else.
Firstly,
councilor
Minas
bound
mentioned
the
peer
review
and
I've
gone
through
it
and
I'm
sure
you're
all
very
aware
of
a
little
political
tactic
which
politicians
and
political
parties
use,
which
is
when
they
want
an
answer.
They
instruct
the
presiding
inspector
or
judge,
and
they
give
them
a
very
narrow
scope
and
then
that
narrow
scope
then
delivers
the
result
that
they
they
get.
P
So
I
would
like
to
remind
you
that,
whilst
we're
being
led
to
believe
that
this
peer
review
congratulates
us
on
what
a
wonderful
job
we're
doing,
it
did
nothing
of
the
sort,
because
the
scope
was
to
look
at
the
draft
plan
which
we're
being
asked
to
approve
tonight
to
consider
what.
Whether
our
priorities
were
clear
and
informed
whether
the
council
provides
effective
local
leadership
and
governance
and
culture
Etc
et
cetera.
P
The
process
is
not
designed
to
provide
any
technical
assessment
and
the
peer
team
just
uses
their
experience
to
reflect
on
the
information
presented
to
them
by
the
people
they
met
and
the
central
tenet
of
this
peer
challenge
was
the
draft
council
plan
that
you
guys
have
been
asked
to
approve.
So
it
was
not
about
the
competence
of
this
Administration
in
delivering
all
the
promises
that
they
promised
forever.
The
other
thing
that
kazuminous
band
suggested
was
that
this
was
a
very
intense
plan
that
involved
lots
of
parties
and
I
hope.
P
I
can't
understand
how
we,
as
a
council,
are
incapable
of
getting
more
than
54
people
to
respond
to
something
as
important
as
a
council
plan
that
doesn't
even
need
to
be
Rewritten
until
2024,
but
will
gymnasty
mean
that
the
kpis
are
going
to
be
different,
because
we
won't
be
having
to
look
at
the
previous
results,
because
we
suddenly
miraculously
created
all
these
new
actions
to
be
delivered
by
Community
groups
and
hey.
It's
not
my
thought.
Gov.
P
When
we
don't
meet
the
new
kpis
I
too,
like
counselor
Watts,
looked
a
great
length
for
the
comprehensive
document
which
we
normally
have
78
Pages.
All
we
got
was
headline
I
requested
it
I
haven't
received
it
either.
I
very
much
hope
that
we
do
get
the
78
page,
because
the
only
78
page
on
the
website
is
2019
and
we're
2023
now.
P
Finally,
I
I
would
just
really
like
to
go
back
to
a
point
that
I
touched
on
the
budget
and
why
I
really
have
no
confidence
in
this
capital
and
I
certainly
won't
be
supporting.
It
is
that
over
the
years
since
I've
been
a
cat,
we
have
promised
everything.
We
promise
that
we're
going
to
support
our
culture
and
then
councilmanas
Baron
went
and
removed
the
grant
for
the
Anvil.
P
I
mean
that
is
not
an
Administration
that
supports
the
culture
and
well-being
of
our
residents,
because
culture
is
is
integral
to
the
well-being
of
our
organization.
Then
there
are
so
many
other
examples.
I
I
don't
want
to
bore
you,
but
we've
got
the
Anvil.
We've
got
the
cameras,
which
is
the
catastrophe.
We've
got
even
on
the
headlines.
They're,
not
great
53
of
our
residents.
Export
and
Leisure
Services
they've
got
satisfaction.
I
mean
that's
not
very
high,
is
it
considering?
P
P
X
X
E
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
it's
the
prerogative
of
any
Administration
to
come
forward
with
the
council
plan.
I
get
that
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
office
team
for
supporting
the
administration
in
coming
forward
with
the
council
plan,
because,
as
you
would
support
any
Administration
in
that
regard,
that
is
a
very
important
part
of
the
process
and
it's
a
lot
of
hard
work
that
goes
into
it.
The
point
is
that
it's
a
council
plan
that
is
owned
by
the
administration.
This
is
your
council
plan.
These
are
your
ideas.
These
are
your
policies.
E
And
we
have
this
as
the
best
you
can
offer
the
people
of
Basingstoke
and
deep
I
think
you
can
do
a
lot
better
than
this
on
many
down
on
climate
change,
on
regeneration
on
the
town
center
on
basic
View,
on
our
voluntary
sector
on
planning
yeah.
Where
do
we
want
to
start
you're
telling
us
now
that
everything
in
the
future
is
going
to
be
Rosy
because
of
what
you're
going
to
do
now?
E
You
cannot
deny
the
history
of
what
you
have
been
responsible
for
and
I
respect
that
there
are
many
new
members
on
that
side
of
the
chamber,
and
there
are
many
of
you
that
disagree
on
many
down.
There
are
many
of
you
that
disagree
on
lots
of
things.
You
can't
just
say
that
everything
begins
today
and
it's
going
to
be
Rosy
in
four
or
five
years
time.
It
doesn't
work
like
that.
You
own
your
history
and
you
try
I'm,
sorry,
just
wash
it
away.
You
can't.
It
is
a
part
of
this.
E
That's
why
this
council
plan
or
any
council
plan
has
got
to
address
the
concerns
and
the
issues
that
are
present
today
and
things
like
the
anfield,
the
Leisure
Park
or
the
Town
Center
do
matter
because
you've
been
at
them
for
years
and
we
still
have
got
major
issues
and
yes,
the
pandemic
has
hit
us
hard.
Of
course
it
has.
Yes,
the
economic
issues
have
hit
us
hard
and
you
aren't
responsible
for
that.
E
That's
your
national
government
that
has
screwed
that
up
royally
in
the
past
year,
I
get
that,
but
it's
our
residence
that
are
facing
those
issues
and
those
challenges.
And
yes,
the
cola
fund
has
made
a
difference
and,
yes,
the
housing
associations
are
doing
the
best
they
can
but
they're
failing
in
goodness
knows
how
many
other
areas
too.
We
could
carry
on
in
terms
of
talking
about
your
lovely
ideas
and
the
language
you're
using,
but
it
doesn't
actually
always
relate
to
reality
and
I.
E
Just
wish
you
would
touch
base
with
reality
a
little
bit
more
in
your
council
plan.
So
when
you
talk
about
regeneration,
you
haven't
touched
Buckskin,
you
haven't
touched
south
ham
or
Northern
in
17
years,
and
it
took
you
nearly
16
years
to
come
up
with
winkleberry,
that's
pretty
shocking.
Actually,
we
did
have
a
very
good
record
on
Oak
Ridge
and
a
very
good
record
on
Bishop's
green
I
wish
that
it
carried
on
in
the
administration
that
took
over
and
the
fact
that
it
took
you
17
years
now
to
realize
you
want
to
do
something
about.
E
It
is
pretty
shocking,
I
think
on
regeneration.
That
is
a
serious
issue,
I
think
on
the
economy.
That
is
also
important.
I,
think
our
businesses
are
actually
crying
out
for
far
more
support
from
this
Council
than
they're.
Currently
getting,
and
it's
not
just
about
us,
you
are
quite
right
about
getting
other
people
to
spend
their
money.
E
It's
about
how
we
Galvanize
I'd
use
the
council
plan
to
Galvanize
that
support
for
our
small
business
Community
sector.
Yes,
absolutely
critical
as
other
councils
of
reference,
but
it's
our
big
business
as
well
that
matters
equally
so
holding
them
here,
keeping
them
here
and
giving
them
a
town
center.
They
can
be
proud
of
a
town
center.
Our
communities
can
be
proud
of
amazing
view.
Our
communities
can
be
proud
of,
and
so
on.
I,
just
think.
E
If
you
look
at
the
council
plan,
it's
a
lot
of
words
and
there's
an
awful
lot
of
emphasis
being
placed
in
areas
where
actually
some
more
detail
is
required
to
make
a
council
plan
really
live
and
really
come
to
life,
so
that
people
can
have
confidence
and
feel
it's
got
something
tangible
to
it,
and
it
isn't
just
a
list
of
bullet
points.
It
isn't
just
a
list
of
lines
it
needs
to
have
more
to
it.
Our
Housing
Services,
of
course,
are
really
really
strong
to
be
congratulated.
E
I
But
when
we
were
talking
to
people,
they
said
that
if
there
was
a
charge
that
they
wouldn't
afford,
that
and
and
it's
going
to
impact
on
the
use
of
that
Park
and
it's
an
amazing
part,
but
for
us
to
actually
charge
people
to
access
open
space
that
we
have
is
shocking,
it's
their
space
and
we're
charging
them
to
use
it.
And
at
the
same
time,
if
you
want
to
poo
or
want
a
wee
in
the
Memorial
Park,
where
do
you
go?
You
have
to
go
behind
a
bush
because
we
don't
have
public
toilets.
I
That
is
disgraceful,
absolutely
disgraceful
in
such
a
beautiful
Park
as
Memorial
Park,
and
then,
if
you
like
in
our
Wards,
if
you've
got
equipment
that
is
broken
within
the
park
and
a
lot
of
areas
within
our
world,
there
are
pieces
of
equipment
that
have
broken
there.
Isn't
the
budget
to
actually
repair
that
we've
got
a
15
000
pound
budget
to
repair
broken
equipment?
We've
got
147
Parks
across
the
borough,
so
you
can't
be
caring
for
our
Parks.
If
that's
what
you're
saying?
I
Because
what
happens,
is
they
can't
repair
those
those
pieces
of
equipment?
So
they
cover
them
over?
So
many
parks
within
our
Wards
are
covered
over
because
they
can't
repair
them
and
then
they've
got
the
issue
of
what
are
we
going
to
do
to
regenerate
those
parts?
Because
regeneration
can
be
many
things?
It
doesn't
just
need
to
be
about
the
big
items
it
can
be
about
the
environmental
regeneration
and,
if
you
look
at
that,
there
are
in
within
our
world,
there
are
parks
that
are
not
going
to
be
regenerated
for
over
18
years.
I
They're,
tired,
they're,
lacking
in
equipment,
because
it's
not
been
repaired
and
they
need
to
be
loved.
This
Administration
doesn't
care
about
Parks,
it
doesn't
care
about
open
space,
you
can't
care
about
it,
and
this
is
a
very
poor
and
very
lacking
in
any
ambition.
Council
plan.
It's
a
lot
of
Guff.
It's
a
lot
of
words.
H
Yeah
regeneration,
it's
nice
to
hear
you're
interested.
Now,
it's
only
taken
17
years
for
a
vision.
Yeah
we
a
few
years
ago,
quite
a
few
years
ago,
it
was
talking
about
many
down
and
I
was
actually
representing
Buckskin
at
the
time.
Well,
that
would
be
good,
for
batskin
would
have
plenty
of
money,
we'll
regenerate
it.
Southamp
extension
will
be
the
prime
one.
It's
been
forgotten
now,
suddenly
you're,
not
that
popular
anymore
you're,
suddenly
waking
up
it's
politics,
I'm,
sorry,
you're,
not
living
in
the
real
world.
You
don't
come
around
the
Estates.
H
If
you
want
to
come
around
and
see,
what's
actually
happening
now,
come
around
with
me,
I've
taken
the
director
taking
the
chief
executive
around.
If
you
want
to
know
about
housing
what
the
problems
are
get
get
down
there
come
with
me,
you
might
end
up
with
a
proper
council
plan
and
see
what
green
spaces
we
got
in
South
End,
not
many,
and
how
well
they're
kept
in
places
very
well
in
some
places
other
places
not
as
well.
H
R
R
As
the
research
data
shows
us,
our
population
in
the
borough
has
increased
by
over
10
since
2011..
We
all
know
that
many
of
our
roads
and
local
Services
have
serious
challenges.
Coping
with
this
increase,
however,
satisfaction
levels
remain
very
high,
and
this
is
based
in
a
large
part,
on
people
feeling
safe
in
their
neighborhoods
and
having
access
to
our
beautiful
Open
Spaces.
R
We
also
know
that
the
borough
offers
great
Sports
and
Leisure
facilities,
but
satisfaction
levels
with
these
facilities
are
lower
than
we'd
like
them
to
be.
We
will
refresh
our
playing
pitch
and
facility
strategies
this
year.
Following
the
update
to
our
Leisure
and
recreational
needs
assessment,
we
will
work
with
our
partners
to
improve
access
to
Safe,
walking
and
cycling
routes,
as
well
as
improving
facilities
to
encourage
participation
in
exercise
and
sports.
R
R
K
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
wasn't
going
to
speak
on
this,
but
it's
funny
I
sort
of
agree
with
some
of
what
councilor
Harvey
has
said.
It
is
not.
We
have
not
always
delivered
for
this
color
and
from
what
I
did
wrong
as
a
leader,
I,
say
sorry,
but
my
plea
is
for
us
all
to
look
forward
to
use
this
as
a
framework
to
improve
this
product
and
make
it
a
better
place
for
all
of
us
and
all
of
our
residents.
N
N
Sport
England
produces
statistics
on
number
of
adults
who
arranged
16
plus,
who
are
active
best
performing
District
in
the
southeast
of
England.
Can
you
guess
where
I'm
going
with
this?
It's
us?
We
provide
the
business
stock,
Sports
Center,
the
aqua,
drum
tadler
health
and
Sports
Center
indoor
tennis
center.
We
have
active
life
downgrange
and,
yes,
we
do
have
Planet
ice
and
a
well-performing
football
team
playing
at
the
winkleberry
football
complex.
N
That's
why
this
Borough
punches
above
its
weight
producing
young
athletes
like
Gemma
Finch
recently.
Fourth

the
UK

Tom,

cross
country

N
This
council's
policies
are
why
we
were
able
to
have
160
athletes
turn
up
for
the
business
token
midhands
Athletic
Club
in
their
annual
track
and
field
championships
at
downgrange
last
year
and,
to
conclude,
finally,
if
you
want
to
talk
housing
last
year,
this
Borough
was
the
second
highest
performing
Authority
in
the
southeast
of
England
for
delivery
of
affordable
housing.
That's
a
Target
I
think
we
should
be
proud
of
okay.
Thank
you.
G
G
There's
lots
of
detail
yeah
in
there
and
contrary
to
what
consulate
Cubit
says
it
is
about
working
with
our
partners.
We
can't
do
everything,
it's
unrealistic.
What
we!
What
we're
aiming
to
do
here
is
work
with
people
like
Vivid
and
Sovereign
to
bring
forward
regeneration
in
winklebury
and
south
ham.
That's
how
you
get
that's
how
you
achieve
things
not
not
by
taking
them
on
and
rubbishing
them,
sometimes
I'm
sort
of
wonder
if
we're
occupying
the
same
Borough
when
you
but
I'm
glad
to
see
that
our
residents
don't
agree.
G
G
There's
Beijing
Bayesian
view
is
being
transformed,
as
we've
heard
tonight,
from
councilor
Carr
and
councilor
McIntyre.
What
we've
been
achieving
in
terms
of
housing
delivery,
particularly
affordable
housing
is
fantastic,
our
finances
are
strong
and
they
use
they
and
they
enable
us
and
like
practically
any
Council
across
the
land,
to
bring
forward
new
and
improved
services
for
our
residents
and
because
we've
got
strong
finances.
G
We're
one
of
the
first
councils
in
the
land
to
direct
much-needed
Financial
assistance
to
those
residents
hit
hard
by
the
cost
of
living
through
the
colath
fund
and
on
the
Anvil.
We
have
we're
still
the
major
contributor
to
the
Anvil,
and
if
this,
if
the
capital
programs
approved
this
evening,
we're
about
to
spend
three
million
pounds
on
the
Anvil
doing
repairs,
we're
doing
we're
going
to
be
doing
work
that
frankly,
the
Anvil
should
have
got
around
to
doing.
G
C
Thank
you,
Mr
Mary,
in
danger
of
using
words,
I'm
afraid
and
to
be
based
in
reality,
and
so
what
was
the
reality
check?
What
has
been
the
reality
check
when
this
council
plan
has
been
created?
There
have
been
lots
of
conversations,
I,
think
I've
done
a
little
bit
of
research
as
well
as
councilor
Watson
suggested.
C
I
can't
find
the
resident
survey
on
the
website
either
it
should
be,
and
I
will
commit
to
speak
to
the
officers
to
ensure
that
that
data
is
published,
but
that
wasn't
the
only
place
as
far
as
where
we
started.
It
was
a
good
place
to
start,
because
you
can
get
a
rather
jaded
view
of
our
Borough.
If
you
were
to
listen
to
everything
said
in
this
chamber,
most
of
our
residents
have
a
very
different
View
and
they've
told
us
that
loud
and
clear
public
consultations
are
tricky.
C
One,
isn't
it
because
actually
I
have
some
empathy
with
councilor
cubitt
on
this
one,
because
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time,
Consulting
our
residents
and
if
we
haven't
heard
what
they've
said
by
now,
then
that
is
shame
on
us,
but
actually
we've
also
spent
a
lot
of
time.
Talking
to
all
sorts
of
people
who
see
Yarborough
from
a
different
street
corner,
whether
that's
people
who
look
after
our
most
vulnerable
in
the
public
and
the
voluntary
sector,
or
whether
those
people
who
serve
our
residents
in
their
businesses
and
our
businesses
in
their
businesses.
C
C
To
pick
up
on
the
point
that
cancer
Horizon
mentioned
as
far
as
culture,
we're
also
doing
some
really
really
interesting
things
with
culture.
I
I
absolutely
agree
about
how
wonderful
the
Streets
Alive
project
is
and
look
forward
to
seeing
it
rolled
out
across
different
Wards
in
our
Borough,
but
we
have
also
created
the
cultural
compact,
with
extra
funding
with
some
really
key
Partners,
like
the
Arts
Council.
C
What
did
that
cultural
compact
say
to
me
as
the
council
leader
in
their
very
first
meeting,
so
that
we
understand
what
their
view
of
arts
and
culture
as
a
landscape
is
in
our
Borough?
That
this
is
the
best
opportunity
we
have
ever
had
is
what
they
said
to
me.
So
I
think
we
should
Ponder
on
that
for
a
moment
before
we
poo
poo.
What
is
inside
this
council
plan.
C
In
summary,
what
have
I
heard
from
my
colleagues
who
work
so
hard
as
portfolio
holders
in
the
cabinet
and
my
colleagues
across
the
chamber,
I've
heard
action,
action,
action,
I've,
heard
delivery,
delivery
delivery
not
only
now,
but
also
some
very
specific
actions
for
the
future,
which
is
why
I
encourage
for
the
benefit
of
all
our
residents.
Everybody
in
this
chamber
to
support
this
council
plan.
It
comes
from
our
Borough,
it's
for
our
Borough
and
it's
for
us
to
action.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
G
G
There
has
been
some
a
disappoint,
disappointing
disappointment,
chiefly
in
relation
to
many
of
our
North,
because
infrastructure
funding
has
not
been
as
has
to
be
pushed
out
because
we
have
not
yet
concluded
the
negotiations
on
the
drawdown
of
the
land.
It
is
absolutely
essential
that
we
get
the
right
terms
agreed
in
drawing
down
the
land
if
we're
going
to
be
able
to
ensure
that
we
build
good
quality
homes
with
the
affordable
housing
that
everyone
wants,
and
also
that
will
be
a
viable
scheme.
B
B
D
You
Mr
Mayor
comes
to
the
time
we
might
have
to
move
standing
orders
a
minute,
so
I'm,
proposing
an
amendment
to
the
capital
program
on
parking
and
the
prioritized
residence
parking
scheme
for
carbon
neutral
Borough.
Our
parking
continues
to
be
a
big
problem,
especially
when
considering
we
are
falling
behind
providing
charge
facilities
for
new
electric
car
owners
in
residential
areas.
So
what
we're
proposing
is
a
one
million
pound
addition
to
the
capital
budget,
as
outlined
in
the
order
paper.
Thank
you.
F
The
other
thing
we've
got
to
think
about
is
in
some
of
those
streets
on
the
they've,
been
on
a
pair
of
scheme
for
many
years,
where
we
simply
haven't
been
able
to
plan
for
the
scheme
that
generally
places
very
limited
on
Space,
where
we
can't
put
charging
points
to
narrow
the
pavement
too
much.
Some
of
this
has
got
to
be
start
thinking
about.
Where
are
those
people
going
to
charge
their
cars
and
to
where
locally,
which
district
sensors
should
be
prioritizing
for
those
people,
because
we
do
need
basing
soap
to
go?
J
You
Mr
Mayor.
The
council's
own
independent
survey
found
that
nearly
a
third
of
residence
across
our
Borough
cited
parking
provision
as
one
of
the
local
services
that
was
most
in
need
of
improvement.
It
ranked
behind
only
Road
and
payment
repairs
in
terms
of
its
importance
and
as
we
know,
those
are
the
responsibility
of
Hampshire,
County
Council.
J
We've
built
hundreds
of
new
spaces
in
scores
of
streets
across
our
Borough
over
the
past
few
years,
but
despite
all
of
this
good
work,
I'm
sometimes
felt
left
feeling
slightly
uneasy
when
we
build
these
new
parking
spaces
creating
extra
Bays
so
that
we
can
park
more
of
our
Diesel
and
petrol-powered
vehicles
doesn't
quite
sit
that
comfortably
with
a
climate
emergency
that
we've
declared
as
a
Borough
I'm
sure
that
many
others
in
the
chamber
will
feel
that
way
too.
So
tonight
we've
got
an
opportunity
to
put
that
right
by
expanding
the
PIRA
program.
J
This
extra
investment
from
the
currently
unallocated
capital
reserve,
specifically
the
the
revenue
reserves
for
Capital
purposes,
which
are
currently
standing
at
nearly
18
million
pounds.
So
can
we
afford
to
do
this?
Well,
if
you
look
at
the
section
off
the
section,
151
officers
report
at
the
bottom
of
the
update
and
the
update
to
the
updates,
the
one
with
two
pages
are
printed
there
and
then
you'll
see
that
we
quite
clearly
can
so
there's
nothing
holding
us
back.
So
please
be
bold.
Please
be
ambitious.
J
C
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
Mayor
I
welcome
this
amendment.
If
nothing
else,
it's
moved
the
conversation
forwards
when
I
was
a
portfolio
holder
responsible
for
PIRA
I
was
told
when
I
went
to
one
of
our
committees:
don't
mess
with
any
of
the
criteria.
What
we
are
trying
to
achieve.
So
the
fact
that
we
are
considering
how
it
import,
how
important
it
is
to
not
only
look
at
parking
but
also
ensure
that
we've
got
EV
infrastructure
I'm
completely
supportive
of
the
amendment.
B
K
I'd
like
to
speak
on
the
capital
program,
thank
you.
Mr
Mayor
I'd
like
to
congratulate
the
administration
for
the
time
and
effort
to
pick
out
some
really
great
things
to
invest
in.
We
may
not
agree
on
everything.
That's
in
it,
but
I
think
the
direction
of
travel
is
the
right
one,
but
also
I'd
like
to
speak
for
people
who
can't
speak
for
themselves.
K
Counselor
Carruthers
and
the
deputy
mayor
leaked
are
not
in
the
position
to
speak
for
for
their
Awards.
So
I
would
just
like
to
highlight
how
hard
they
worked
with
the
administration
to
get
that
funding
for
tadley
pool
I
think
it
is
vital
that
an
area
which
seems
to
not
be
in
everyone's
eye
line
gets
the
benefits
of
it.
They
weren't
outside
the
pool
getting
photo
opportunity.
They
were
in
the
cabinet
talking
to
the
administration
to
make
sure
that
the
money
was
in
place.
K
Frost
who's
made
great
efforts
to
ensure
that
the
movable
floor
and
the
air
pump
heating
were
installed
and
were
going
to
get
the
right
amount
of
funding,
but
also
very
quickly,
I'd
like
to
say
that,
yes,
there
is
slippage
on
it,
so
I
hope
to
see
as
we
move
through
this
financial
year,
that
the
Kings
clear,
Village
Club
get
the
energy
efficiencies
that
it
should
do,
and
cancer
Morrow
myself
and
councilor
Frost
will
at
least
be
warm
when
we
go
to
a
kingsclair
parish
council.
Thank
you.

10
million
pound
amounts.
That's
quite
significant
amount
of
money.
Are
we
seriously
looking
at
buying
a
hotel
a
year
for
the
next
five
years?
That's
my
first
question
and
the
second
question
is:
there's
asset
sales
figure
estimate
2020
324
in
place,
277
of
20
million
pounds,
that's
a
lot
of
money.
What
is
that
all
about?
Are
we
selling
something
off
like
the
golf
course
next
to
Leisure
Park,
for
instance?
Thank.
B
B
AA
B
There
anybody
who
doesn't
agree
to
this-
that's
fine.
Thank
you
very
much.
There
is
a
very
specific
reason
for
any
new
councilors
of
why
that
question
is
asked
I
assume
that
the
group
leaders
will
answer
that
question.
If,
if
they're
sauce
within
their
groups
right,
we
move
on
to
something
that's
very
dead
in
my
heart
but
in
mind.
You
probably
know
my
background
within
this
Council
and
it's
councilor
Ganesh
to
propose
the
adoption
of
the
East
Woody
neighborhood
plan.
B
It's
one
of
the
I
just
want
to
just
remind
some
members
who
probably
don't
know
it.
I
I
used
to
be
the
chairman
of
the
board
for
a
hampshire-wide,
affordable
housing
organization.
I.
Did
that
as
during
my
time
as
chair
of
DC
here
and
we
have
been
in
the
lead
in
the
whole
of
the
county
of
Hampshire,
of
actually
making
neighborhood
plans
and
we're
seen
as
to
be
the
leader
as
an
example.
Other
districts
take
us
as
an
example,
and
this
is
yet
another
one.
Cancer.
W
W
Our
Council
will
continue
to
support
their
neighborhood
planning,
which
enables
local
communities
to
have
a
real
say
over
the
future
and
ensure
that
development
meets
their
local
needs
for
their
area.
So
I
cannot
wait
to
join
you
and
congratulate
the
residents
and
parish
council
at
me
as
a
parlor
next
month.
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
B
X
G
This
work
will
have
lasting
effect
and
reflects
well
on
a
strong
Community.
This
neighborhood
plan
will
be
the
boroughs
13th
and,
in
my
ward,
I'm
pleased
and
impressed
that
two
further
neighborhood
plans
are
coming
forward.
Etching
as
well,
Bishops,
green
and
sidmonton
is
about
to
go
to
referendum
and
Highclere
is
making
good
progress,
and
this
is
something
that
will
be
music
to
your
ears,
Mr
Mayor.
G
This
compares
to
10
neighborhood
plans
in
heart
and
seven
in
test
valley,
so
it
is
right
this
that
this
evening,
I
can
mend
our
excellent
planning
team
who
are
who
so
ably
assist
our
local
communities
in
navigating
their
way
through
to
the
Finishing
Line.
With
these
important
neighborhood
plans,
I
know
for
a
fact
that
the
East
Woody
group
were
grateful
for
the
support
and
advice
they
received.
V
Mr
Mayor
and
I
would
like
to
join
my
world
colleagues
councilor
Isaac
and
councilor
Faulkner.
In
welcoming
today's
adoption
of
a
neighborhood
plan
for
East
Woody,
the
new
neighborhood
plan
is
a
testament
to
the
collaborative
spirit
and
resourcefulness
of
the
community
across
East
Woody,
but
we
have
not
reached
this
moment
without
the
determination
and
vision
of
the
Steering
group
and
East
Woody
Parish
Council.
V
V
Moreover,
with
a
neighborhood
plan
in
place,
the
parish
will
receive
a
greater
proportion
of
the
financial
contributions
from
any
new
development
and
will
now
receive
25
of
new
community
infrastructure.
Levy
raised
John
Isaac,
grand
Faulkner
and
I
have
been
pleased
to
support
the
progress
of
this
neighborhood
plan
along
the
way
and
I'm
delighted
to
recommend
its
adoption.
AB
AB
The
draft
plan
went
to
the
examiner
and,
if
you
look
at
page
341
you'll
see
that
there's
a
map
of
east
Woody,
where
the
examiner
transposed
onto
it,
the
solar
nitrate
neutrality,
the
test
that
the
test
River
catchment
area
and
you'll
notice,
the
blue
area
there's
a
very
slight
patch
which
transgresses
into
East
Woody,
which
wasn't
realized
at
the
time.
Now.
That
patch
is
in
fact,
pilot
Hill,
which
is
nearly
900
foot
high
and
I
wish.
The
city
hope
that
there
will
never
be
a
building
stuck
on
the
top
of
pilot
Hill.
AB
In
the
few
view,
number
one
in
this
plan,
which
is
which
is
a
pity,
but
the
examiner
then
sent
the
plan
back
to
the
parish
because,
although
Natural
England
had
said
East
Woody
is
not
part
of
the
solar
nitrate
neutrality
area
because
of
that
little
patch,
they
had
to
go
back
and
do
a
nitrate
mitigation
review
and
then
submit
that
and
that
took
three
months
and
I
fully
expect
it.
With
all
the
other
setbacks.
Over
the
seven
years,
the
team
and
the
parish
councilman
say
we
are
battered
to
death.
AB
W
You
Mr
Mia
enough's,
been
set
by
my
Council
colleagues,
Council
Isaiah
Council,
Carr
and
Faulkner
who's
been
working
throughout
this
process
to
get
this
pass
through
the
residence
and
I'm
pleased.
This
is
the
13th
neighborhood
plan
in
our
Borough,
and
our
planning
policy
team
will
continue
supporting
neighborhood
plans
in
our
localities
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
say
on
how
their
local
or
neighborhood
is
shaped.
Thank
you.
B
AC
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
believe
this
is
my
first
motion
before
Council
and
I
hope
that
it
is
on
a
subject
that
we
can
all
agree
on
I'm,
going
to
split
my
speech
into
two
parts:
the
school
meals
and
then
the
school
uniform
now
I
think
there
are
all
more
than
well
aware
of
the
current
cost
of
living
crisis
that
is
affecting
residents
of
this
Borough
and
the
country.
It's
been
highlighted
many
times
this
evening.
AC
The
inflation
is
around
five
times
higher
than
the
bank
of
England's
Target
rate,
and
the
ons
has
reported
that
many
items
of
food
have
risen
in
price
in
some
cases
by
as
much
as
60
percent.
This
has
led,
according
to
their
research,
to
a
little
over
half
of
people,
reducing
the
amount
they
spend
on
food.
AC
Unfortunately,
as
in
many
cases,
both
of
our
lease
well-off
tend
to
suffer
more,
and
this
shows
with
60
of
people
or
three
or
five
adults
in
deprived
areas,
spending
less
compared
to
44
in
areas
better
off
across
Hampshire,
and
this
doesn't
include
Portsmouth
and
Southampton.
Around
30
000
children
currently
qualify
for
School
Meal,
free
School
meals.
Yet
there
are
met
likely
many
thousands
more
who
are
missing
out
after
the
government
reduced
the
eligibility
criteria
for
earnings
from
16
190
pounds
to
seven
thousand
four
hundred
pounds.
AC
That's
my
opinion
that
every
child,
no
matter
where
they
live,
should
be
able
to
eat
a
to
have
a
healthy
life,
including
having
access
to
a
good
diet.
For
many,
the
school
school
meal
is
the
one
opportunity
to
have
a
healthy,
balanced,
cooked
meal.
In
their
day,
not
eating
sufficiently
can
be
detrimental
in
many
ways,
but
for
children
they
can
have
a
more
significant
impact.
AC
Research
from
around
the
world
has
shown
that
children
who
live
in
food,
insecure
families
are
more
likely
to
suffer
from
educational
losses
and
not
eating
enough
meets
that
a
child
is
likely
unlikely
to
achieve
developmental
goals
or
reach
their
full
potential
at
school.
Food
insecurities
have
also
been
linked
to
Children
suffering
from
anxiety
and
stress.
AC
Investing
in
a
child's
ability
to
eat
a
healthy
meal
is
important
for
the
short
and
long
term,
not
only
from
the
child's
point
of
view,
but
also
from
an
economic
stance.
Improvements
in
the
ability
to
focus
on
learning
and
reducing
absenteeism
would
likely
see
improvements
to
our
educational
attainment
and
a
reduction
in
need
and
costs
to
schools
for
catch-up
programs.
Investing
in
healthy,
nutritious
free,
School
meals
would
likely
see
savings
for
the
NHS
on
dealing
with
the
effects
of
poor
diet.
Malnutrition,
Etc,
in
fact
a
pricewater
who's.
AC
They
also
explored
the
option
of
providing
free,
School
meals
to
all
state
school
children
which
found
the
return
of
investment
in
the
same
time
period
jumped
to
41.3
billion
in
core
benefits.
So,
as
you
can
see,
the
impact
for
providing
free,
School
meals
are,
in
my
humble
opinion,
pretty
huge,
and
this
motion
asks
that
the
government
review
its
criteria
to
help
the
children
of
our
Borough
and
the
country
thrive.
AC
This
act
mandates
schools
to
consider
the
cost
of
school,
uniform
minimize
branded
items
and
to
ensure
items
are
available
from
suppliers
which
have
evidenced
their
value
for
money.
However,
across
many
basing
State
schools,
parents
are
still
expected
to
spend
substantial
amounts
of
money
on
branded
items
of
clothing.
Just.

Despite
there
being
cheaper
unbranded
alternatives,
sometimes
it
feels
that
every
time
I
visit
the
school
supplier
for
my
sun
school,
uniform
I
have
to
consult
with
a
mortgage
advisor
beforehand
to
unlock
the
money
required
to
pay
for
it
all
at
one
local
secondary
school.
There
is
a
requirement
for
pupils
to
wear
school
by
school
branded
Blazers,
which
can
cost
up
to
49
pounds
when
a
reasonable
unbranded
alternative
costs
as
little
as
12
pound.
What
has
this
led
to,
though?
Well?
AC
According
to
studies,
more
than
half
of
parents
across
the
UK
are
buying
second
or
third-hand
items
for
clothing
and
in
Basingstoke
many
schools
themselves
already
acknowledge
the
significant
cost
and
alongside
parents
have
set
up
school
swap
shops
to
exchange
clothes
and
school
supplies
between
each
other.
An
event
put
on
locally
called
operation
back
to
school.
Bezos
saw
50
families
benefit
from
back
to
school
supplies,
but
this
was
only
achieved
through
the
kindness
and
generosity
of
local
people
and
businesses.
AC
Whilst
this
is
welcomed,
it
should
not
be
considered
a
viable
long-term
option
to
solve
the
issues
that
families
face.
Today,
Mr
Mayor
I
decided
to
get
into
becoming
a
counselor,
because
I
wanted
to
help
the
people
of
the
residents
of
my
road
and
the
borough
that
I've
grown
up
in
and
whilst
the
Reco,
the
request
in
the
motion
are
not
extravagant.
They
are
designed
to
help
as
many
residents
of
our
Borough
during
this
cost
of
living
crisis
and
Beyond,
and
hope
that
all
counselors
can
support
these
actions.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
M
Thank
you,
Mr
bear
and
thank
you,
councilor
Lee,
for
providing
all
the
statistics,
so
that
I
didn't
have
to
repeat
all
of
that
again.
I'm
chair
of
Governors
at
Bishops
or
juniors
in
infant
school
and
I
support
everything
that
you've
said.
Our
children
need
to
have
decent
meals,
and
you
might
think
that
places
like
Chadley
and
other
places
haven't
got
much
deprivation.
M
But
actually,
when
we
look
at
the
numbers
of
my
school
that
the
people
who
are
qualifying
for
preschool
meals
and
when
you
tell
people
that
they
only
qualify
if
the
total
household
income
is
less
than
four
seven
thousand
four
hundred
pounds.
How
many
of
you
here
that
is
less
than
we
get
as
an
allowance
for
a
year
for
being
a
counselor.
So
this
is
an
absolute
horror
if
you
like
that,
we
are
not
allowing
children
to
benefit
from
a
very
good
solution
that
was
put
forward
by
the
liberal
Democrats
in
the
Coalition.
M
M
M
I
really
do
think
that
we
ought
to
support
this
motion
and
do
something
that
we
can
anything
we
can
to
try
and
persuade
the
government
to
actually
revisit
the
amount
that
they
actually
limit.
People
to
apply
for,
and
one
only
one
contradiction
that
I
would
like
to
add
or
an
addition
is
that
the
schools
you
can
ask
the
schools
or
you
can
tell
them
about
the
guidance
and
you
can
help
the
countries
to
speak
to
them.
M
We
do
exactly
what
you
say:
we
have
a
swap
shop
and
we
allow
children
to
either
have
a
non-branded
version,
or
if
parents
wish
to
have
a
badge
thrown
on
it,
the
parents
can
buy
it,
but
I
would
certainly
support
the
motion
and
think
we
should
do
everything
we
can
to
make
sure
that
our
children
and
our
boroughs
aren't
going
home
hungry
after
a
day
at
school.
Thank
you.
P
P
I've
recently
become
a
governor
of
a
school
I
was
a
governor
of
Dove
house
many
years
ago
for
about
five
years,
and
we've
got
a
new
head
and
he's
started,
giving
the
students
breakfast
for
free
and
it
has
transformed
their
behaviors
and
we're
talking
about
children
from
more
tricky
issues
already
so
I
I
with
regards
to
the
uniform
I,
also
agree:
it's
much
more
sensible
not
to
have
branded,
but
I.
Think
saying
on
badges
is
not
a
big
ask.
P
L
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
yeah
I
just
want
to
destroy
your
attention
again
to
the
Urban
Health
Report
that
councilor
Lee
referred
to
it's
written
by
PWC,
and
it
says
that
for
every
pound
invested
in
free
School
meals
for
people
on
Universal
Credit,
it
would
generate
one
pound
38
of
direct
benefits
that
excludes
ancillary
benefits,
which
I
won't
bore
you
with
the
detail.
But
and
then
it
goes
on
to
say
that
if
you
did
Universal
School
meals,
it
would
deliver
one
pound
71
of
direct
benefits
for
every
pound
invested.
L
That
sort
of
analysis
really
appeals
to
me.
I
guess:
there's
an
old
joke
isn't
there
about.
If
you
ask
an
accountant
what
number
what's
what's
the
right
answer?
They'll
say
what
numbers
you
want
to
draw
the
curtains
and
close
the
door
and
have
a
conversation
with
you,
but
it's
it's
a
really
compelling
report
and
really
accessible
and
I'd,
encourage
you
to
read
it
I
support
this
motion.
My
kids
wear
school
uniform
the
Western
Canadian
form
they
wear
a
new
uniform.
L
W
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
No
children
should
be
left
out
for
an
opportunity
to
educate
themselves
or
go
to
school
due
to
the
struggle
to
find
a
means
to
pay
for
uniform
or
or
or
meals
during
the
day.
So
I
wholeheartedly
support
the
motion
and
urge
my
colleagues
to
work
with
the
Hampshire
County
Council
who's
responsible
to
provide
all
these
for
our
children.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I'm,
just
to
bring
to
the
attention
of
people
who
may
know
this
already
that
every
London,
Primary
School
pupil
is
going
to
get
free,
School
meals,
the
next
academic
year.
It's
costing
them
130
million
pounds,
but
obviously
there
are
a
lot
more
children
in
London
they're
on
Basingstoke,
around
270
000
primary
school
children
and
it
saves
families
in
London
around
440
pound
per
child
across
the
entire
Academic
Year.
So
if
London
can
do
it,
why
can't
we
thank
you.
E
You
Mr
bear
just
to
try
and
put
this
a
little
bit
in
in
local
context,
actually
I
think
it's
just
an
important,
perhaps
to
reflect
on
on
basis
token
Dean,
as
you're
rightly
pushing
and
I
thank
the
Gazette
for
their
work
last
year
to
highlight
the
issues
in
Basingstoke,
because
if
you
take
the
position
currently
of
child
poverty,
we
are
actually
in
a
period
of
record
child
poverty.
In
this
Borough.
E
According
to
the
department
for
works
and
pensions,
over
4
000
children
are
aged
under
16
living
in
families
with
low
incomes
in
our
bore
at
12
percent
of
all
youngsters
in
the
area
are
living
in
child
poverty.
According
to
the
DWP
figures,
that's
up
from
10.7
percent,
that's
up
from
when
records
began
in
2014
of
eight
percent.
It
is
going
at
the
moment
in
One,
Direction
and
all
right.
E
I
would
also
say
that,
in
the
context
of
the
work
that
The
Gazette
did
investigating
this
issue,
it
was
important
to
raise
the
fact
that
of
those
naught
to
15.,
28
of
them
were
aged
under
five.
Just
think
about
that
28
of
those
children
living
in
child
poverty
in
our
Borough
over
a
thousand
of
them
are
aged
under
five.
That
is
disgusting
and
disgraceful,
and
something
we've
got
to
do
something
about
I
support
the
motion,
because
it's
exactly
what
you're
trying
to
do
and
it
leads
us
on
to
say
so
what
else
do
we
do?
J
You
Mr
Mayor.
This
motion
went
to
the
proposed
back
in
the
December
meeting
I'm
a
local
school
governor
and
I've
sort
of
inspired
by
this
motion.
I
asked
at
a
recent
government
meeting
to
see
how
well
we
were
doing
against
the
the
requirements
of
the
the
guidance
about
across
the
school
uniforms
act.
There
are
three
elements
really
of
this
act
as
far
as
the
school
uniforms
are
concerned,
one
is
to
make
sure
that
you
minimize
as
a
score
the
number
of
unbranded
items
which
we
do
pretty
well
as
a
school.
J
Actually,
we've
sort
of
only
got
two
unbranded
up
two
branded
items.
The
second
element
is
to
have
easily
available
second-hand
uniforms
which
again
we
do
and
then
the
third
element
is
the
evidence
value
for
money
in
terms
of
the
suppliers
that
you
choose
for
the
Branded
items,
and
actually
we
realize
that
as
a
score,
we
could
probably
do
better
on
that
third
and
final
point,
so
we're
now
running
running
a
tender
process
specifically
to
see
if
we
can
find
cheaper
school
uniforms.
So
thank
you
to
the
proposer
and
the
second
for
this
motion.
B
AD
You
Mr
Mayor
I'm
gonna,
keep
it
short
and
sweet
I
think
everyone's
really
already
said
everything
that
needs
to
be
said
about
this.
There
is
one
point
I
wanted
to
raise.
We've
talked
a
lot,
we
do
talk
about
cost
of
living,
it
gets
all
very
much
into
sort
of
and
we've
looked
at
lots
of
accounts
and
we
see
lots
of
figures
on
paper
and
that's
all
very
dry.
AD
I've
just
had
a
quick
look
and
cancer
to
do
a
lot
of
grocery
monitoring,
but
apparently,
in
the
four
weeks
to
January
the
22nd,
the
inflation
food
inflation
is
currently
running
at
16.7
percent,
not
10.1
percent
16.7
percent
and
I
was
talking
to
a
friend
of
mine
and
she
actually
lives.
I
would
say
a
middle
income
family,
you
know
quite
well
off
and
she
we
were
talking
about
shopping
and
what
we
buy,
and
one
thing
she
said
to
me
says
you
know.
AD
Actually
you
start
looking
at
things
on
the
shelves
and
thinking
twice
about
buying
them
and
I'll.
Give
you
an
example
for
one
thing:
I
noticed
courgettes
just
about
courgettes
I
went
into
eye
shop
in
little
Little's
good
value.
They
do
excellent
excellent
prices,
but
I
know
my
shopping
Bill.
There
has
definitely
gone
up
by
about
20
percent
because
yeah
it's
about
a
year
ago
or
so
they're
about
one
pound
and
nine
Pier
kilo.
I
watch
prices
at
the
moment,
they're
about
229.
AD
buy
a
bag
of
fresh
coffee
I
like
a
fresh
coffee
in
the
morning
that
used
to
be
about
three
pounds.
Odd.
That's
now
over
four
pounds,
nearly
five
pounds
butter
butter
people
were
telling
me
about
how
much
butter
costs.
Now
it's
really
going
through
the
roof.
It's
absolutely
ridiculous.
How
much
food
is
and
people
are
having
to
make
those
decisions
and
those
decisions
they're
making
will
impact
the
nutritional
benefit
that
their
children
get.
AD
So
the
other
side
of
this
is
if
children
are
getting
free,
School
meals,
they're,
getting
monitored
and
managed
good
nutritional
benefits
from
a
hot
meal
in
the
day,
and
that,
as
we've
heard
about
the
benefits,
the
financial
benefits,
the
economic
benefits
to
the
country
go
Way,
Beyond,
the
cost
of
actually
just
providing
those
meals.
So
please
support
this
motion.
It
sounds
like
we're
going
to
have
everyone
supporting
it
anyway
and,
as
for
school,
uniform
just
add
on
that
one:
yes,
I
agree:
my
kids
had
secondhand
stuff,
it
was
passed
down.
AD
Don't
you
know,
I
totally
have
no
problem
with
that,
but
again,
there's
no
need
for
things
to
be
expensive
and
priced
that
makes
children
feel
awkward
if
they
feel
they're
looking
shabbier
than
other
people.
The
whole
point
of
uniform
is
a
great
leveler.
It
allows
children
to
feel
part
of
a
community,
it
enables
them
to
look
smart
at
school
and
it
gets
rid
of
all
those
differences
and
levels
the
field
for
everyone.
Thank
you.
AC
AC
Many
people
within
my
party
and
I
think
the
cabinet
have
heard
me
say
a
few
times
about
my
concerns
about
why
I
bother
being
a
counselor
when
it
doesn't
feel
like
I'm,
actually
achieving
anything
to
hear
that
tonight.
Actually,
you
know
reinforces
the
point
as
to
why
I
why
I
bother
now
so
thank
you
very
much
and
and
yeah.
Let's
see
where
we
can
go
from
here.
B
B
I'll
just
remind
everybody
that
the
questions
from
the
members
of
the
Council
on
notice,
the
question
number
two
of
them:
councilor,
slimming
I,
think
I've
now
addressed
and
everybody
in
this
Council.
If
they
have
particular
issues
to
approach
to
the
Democratic
Services
team
and
the
monitoring
officer
will
be
taking
up
one
of
the
other
questions.
B
AA
Q
The
importance
of
play
areas
is
where
I
recognize
and
I
understand.
The
frustration
of
your
local
residents
at
Spencer
park
has
been
partially
fenced
off
as
some
considerable
time
in
the
inconvenience
that
has
been
caused.
Monies
have
now
been
allocated
in
the
capital
program
to
carry
out
Works
to
fix
these
issues.
The
situation
has
been
a
com
of
a
complex
nature
and
has
taken
some
time
to
resolve.
Q
As
a
result
of
this,
many
investigations
had
to
be
carried
out
to
establish
the
cause
of
the
sinking
and
then
when
we
have,
and
then
we
had
to
establish
responsibility
with
our
legal
teams
and
insurers,
we
couldn't
just
accept
responsibility.
We
must
wear
possible
hold
developers
to
account
to
ensure
proper
development
to
avoid
these
things
happening
in
the
future.
C
You
very
much
Mr
Mayor
I'll,
keep
it
short
I
up
and
down
the
country.
I
think
one
of
the
rather
disturbing
impacts
of
the
pandemic
and
lockdown
has
been
what
I
would
call
the
rubbish
litter
explosion
that
we
have
seen
and
I
absolutely
take
our
responsibilities
very
seriously
as
one
of
the
litter
authorities
locally.
But
there
is
also
something
about
encouraging
and
cajoling
our
residents
to
take
responsibility
for
their
left.
C
Their
litter
I
do
think
we
suffer
with
it
specifically
locally
because
we
have
some
very,
very
large
and
significantly
used
a
roads.
There
is
something
about
putting
resource
Focus,
not
only
into
collecting
that
litter
and
enforcing
any
fines
that
are
needed,
but
also
getting
our
residents
to
understand
and
I.
C
Think
very
often
these
are
the
same
residents
that
will
talk
to
us
about
climate
change
about
carbon,
but
actually
perhaps
don't
understand
the
damage
that
litter
does
so
I
absolutely
agree
with
the
spirit
of
the
question:
councilor
ratigan
and
absolutely
will
work
really
closely,
both
with
our
officers
and
the
officers
of
the
County
Council.
But,
of
course,
there
is
also
something
very
important
that
we
consider,
which
of
course,
is
the
risks
involved
on
those
a
roads
when
it
comes
to
the
litter.
Picking.
Thank
you.
M
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
This
question
has
I
inadvert
the
sent
to
the
wrong
person,
but
obviously
the
officers
realize
that
it
should
be
the
cabinet,
member
environment
and
climate
action.
So
I
suggest
to
her
that
when
she
speaks
to
me
that
she
speaks
so
that
I
can
hear
the
answer,
because
I
might
have
a
supplementary.
Thank
you
you,
the
the.
M
However,
I
would
be
very
grateful
for
the
clarification
about
the
number
of
actual
prosecutions
that
we've
managed
to
get
under
the
legislation
that
does
apply
to
us
and
whether
or
not
the
legislation
that
now
has
been
approved
under
the
environment
act,
2012
schedule
12
under
schedule,
1A,
where
there
is
allowed
to
be
fines
for
people
who
pollute
in
certain
areas.
Thank
you.
B
Q
You
Mr
Mayor
I'll,
answer
the
question
that
was
on
the
papers.
The
sign
preferred
to
are
not
available
for
this
Council
to
use
these
fines
can
only
be
issued
by
those
councils
who
have
spent
control
areas
designated
in
the
their
boas.
They
are
a
tool
for
councils
to
respond
to
persons
in
breach
of
the
prohibitions
of
a
smoke
control
area.
Then
our
Bower
has
no
smoke
control
areas.
However.
Q
That
said,
we
do
of
course,
recognize
the
importance
of
tackling
air
pollution
and
the
impact
that
smoke
can
have
on
residents,
and
we
run
a
campaign
each
year
providing
advice
to
people
who
have
wood
burners
on
should
they
would
burn
his
own
set.
Should
they
take
to
minimize
the
impact
of
others
and
provide
useful
information
on
our
website.
In
the
event,
the
council
obtains
evidence
of
air
pollution
issues
or
offenses.
These
will
be
dealt
with
in
line
with
councils
enforcement
policies
and
those
Powers
available
in
the
Environmental
Protection
Act
and
the
Clean
Air
Act.
Q
We
have
not
had
cause
to
prosecute
anyone
in
this
basis
and
the
time
frame
referred
to.
If
anyone
is
seriously
affected
by
smoke
from
domestic
burning,
they
should
contact
the
council's
environmental
health
Team.
The
environmental
health
team
has
always
responded
promptly
and
will
usually
visit
the
location
a
couple
of
times
and
can
work
with
residents
and
write
to
them
to
prevent
the
pollution.
Councilman
did
mention
a
Pacific
matter
which
wasn't
in
the
question,
but
I
was
made
aware
of
and
on
that
occasion
I
know
that
the
environmental
health
Team
were
really
helpful.
Q
They
went
round
to
the
property
they
spoke
to
the
resident
they
wrote
to
the
resident
and
given
those
actions,
the
resident
was
then
aware
of
the
pollution
and
they
haven't
had
any
complaints.
Since
so
our
environmental
health
team
will
work
hard
if
allegations
are
made
to
work
to
educate
residents
and
assist
them
in
tackling
air
pollution.
M
Thank
you
and
thank
you
Council
for
being
clear
about
what
the
response
was,
even
if
it
isn't
in
writing.
I
do
appreciate,
because
I
did
actually
go
and
check
that
this
was
indeed
not
covered
by
us,
because
we
don't
have
any
clean
air
zones
and
obviously
that's
going
to
be
very
disappointing.
When
I
speak
to
my
residents
tomorrow,
having
asked
the
question
and
we'll
go
back
to
them,
because
obviously
they
have
still
have
concerns.
M
Question
is:
will
the
will
the
cabinet
member
and
the
new
officers
that
are
going
to
come
on
the
environment
and
health
Team
actually
consider
whether
or
not
we
ought
to
be
a
clean
air
zone
in
Basingstoke
and
tadley
I
know
they're
not
going
to
give
me
a
reply.
No
Mr
Mayor,
but
I
hope
that
they
can
go
away
and
come
back
with
an
answer.
Thank
you.
Q
We
have
no
smoke
control
areas,
we
have
a
policy
whereby
we
tackle
climate
change
and
if
there
are
people
concerned
about
smoke,
polluting
the
air
they
contact,
the
environmental
health
Team
and
under
the
environmental
Act
and
the
Clean
Air
Act,
we
have
powers
to
do
something
so
I
think
what
we've
got
in
place
at
the
moment
and
I
think
the
situation
Council
slimmerman
referred
to
when
one
of
her
residents
did
make
a
complaint.
Our
environmental
health
officers
were
on
it
doing
things
and
working
with
the
residents
to
sort
things
out
straight
away.
Q
So
I
think
that's
a
congratulations
to
them
and
shows
that
we
do
take
these
issues
seriously
and
if-
and
we
do
have
some
powers
that
can
do
other
stuff.
But
it's
good
that
we
don't
have
smoke
control
areas
in
the
bar
at
the
moment.
We
don't
need
them,
but
a
whole
team
of
people
check
in
and
the
powers
if
we
need
to.

Lovely
I
thank
counselor
jeans
for
her
question.
Sam
has
been
a
powerful
Champion
for
Brookfield
and
Kings
Furlong
on
the
future
of
180
Culver
Road,
following
the
decision
of
DCC
in
2022
and
two
Saints
subsequent
confirmation
that
they
would
not
appeal.
Sam
asked
me
to
investigate
an
alternative,
affordable
homes,
regeneration
proposal.
So,
as
a
result,
officers
from
the
Borough
Council
and
the
county
councils
have
been
working
together
with
Sovereign
on
plans
to
regenerate
the
site
with
a
new,
affordable
housing
scheme.
AE
B
V
Given
the
public
interest
in
180
Cobra
Road
I've
highlighted
to
Sovereign
the
importance
of
engagement
on
these
plans.
The
scheme
has
already
been
presented
to
the
local
War
members,
Council
of
Muhammad
Alani
and
councilor
jeans.
It's
anticipated
that
a
planning
application
will
be
submitted
in
Spring.
Counselors
can
be
assured
that
consultation
with
Culver
Road
residents
will
take
place
prior
to
an
application
being
submitted.

Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
The
question
was
answered
this
morning
in
a
meeting
with
the
chief
chief
executive
and
other
officers
I'd
like
to
thank
them
for
their
time.
Unfortunately,
there
is
no
justification
for
a
judicial
review
in
this
case.
As
a
result
of
this,
sadly
88
hectares
agricultural
land
in
Bramley
will
be
lost
to
an
industrial
development.
Thank
you.
Y
G
G
My
visits
and
meetings
with
you
and
local
people
have
convinced
me
of
the
good
uses
that
the
king's
clear
Community
want
to
bring
to
24
Swan
Street.
In
addition
to
the
splendid
existing
dance
school,
it
is
planned
to
bring
a
report
to
Cabinet
on
March
the
7th
recommending
the
sale
of
the
building
and
providing
for
a
six-month
window
for
the
community
interest
group
to
purchase
at
a
price
discounted
against
open
market
value
because
of
the
clear
social
and
economic
benefits
to
kingsclair.
Y
Y
G
I
do
but
it's
best
left
to
officers
to
discuss
with
a
community
interest
group,
not
for
me
to
be
involved
in.
We
do
have
a
responsibility
as
a
council
to
get
best
value
for
our
assets.
But,
as
I
said
to
you,
there
is
a
significant
social
and
economic
benefit.
I
think
in
this,
and
so
I
really
do
hope
that
terms
can
be
agreed
and
and
and
that
the
the
24th
Swan
Street
becomes
a
community
facility.
AF
Thank
you
Mr.
This
is
a
question
for
the
leader
of
the
council.
Can
the
leader
update
the
Council
on
his
discussions
regarding
the
mooted
Council
Deal
can?
Can
he
reassure
us
that
he
does
not
support
a
single
pan,
Hampshire
Devolution
deal
that
will
cover
the
all
of
the
county
or
which
would
involve
an
elected
leader?
Thank
you.
C
C
C
I
don't
support
the
concept
of
an
elected
leader,
but
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
like
to
see
in
any
developing
proposals
is
and
I
think
it's
really
important.
That
I
put
this
on
record,
that
any
investment
should
have
the
economic
centers
of
Southampton,
Portsmouth
and
Basingstoke
at
its
core
by
Design,
and
that
what
we
all
know
is
acknowledged
that
Basingstoke
and
Dean
Borough
Council
our
best
place
to
lead
on
our
own
geographical
area.
B
B
If
there's
no
other
questions,
that
is
the
end
of
the
agenda
and
I
close
this
meeting
at
10
25
members
can
I.
Thank
you
very
much.
The
budget
council
meeting
is
notorious
in
his
reputation
for
going
for
a
long
time,
but
you
did
it
very
well
tonight
and
we
got
out
at
a
reasonable
time.
Thank
you
very
much
and
see
you
next
month.
