Good
evening
members
I'd
like
you
to
I'd,
like
to
introduce
to
you
Mr
naduco
acushku,
who
is
going
to
read
us
thoughts
for
the
day
this
evening.
D
One
of
the
remarkable
things
about
Barca
in
The,
Amazing,
Basin
still
community,
is
that
it
enables
us
to
embrace
and
help
people
in
a
way
we
couldn't
as
individuals
as
Barca.
We
come
together
as
an
association
based
on
a
common
trait
and
Heritage,
although
we
have
a
lot
in
common,
we
are
also
culturally
diverse.
D
D
D
The
popular
thing
that
life
is
always
better
when
we
are
together,
because
there's
so
much
strength
in
unity
prove
that
collaboration
and
integration
are
ingredients
that
will
make
us
strive.
As
a
community,
we
may
have
different
Religion
different
languages
and
different
skin
color,
but
we
belong
to
One
race,
the
human
race.
D
C
I
haven't
run
through
this
before,
but
I
will
tonight
in
case
we've
all
forgotten
the
fire
evacuation
procedures
for
evening
meetings.
There
are
no
fire
alarms
scheduled
for
this
evening.
If
the
fire
alarm
sounds
sounds,
please
evacuate
the
building
and
the
fire
exit
located
to
the
rear
of
the
room,
go
down
the
stairs
and
meet
in
the
very
wet,
more
Memorial
Park
this
evening
and
members.
Please
note
we're
webcasting
tonight,
please
switch
off
or
turn
to
silent.
C
Your
mobile
phones
or
whatever
operators
you're
using
tonight,
start
off
with
apologies
for
absence,
I
have
on
the
agenda
items,
councilor,
Bose,
Council,
Tom,
Carruthers,
Grant
and
councilor
Court
as
being
absent
tonight,
other
any
other
absentees,
Council
Gavin
James,
yes,
Mr.
Apologies
for
councilor.
F
As
well,
councilor
Sam
jeans
just
for
lateness,
Mr
Mayor.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
Minutes
of
the
meeting
held
on
23rd
of
February
I
will
move
that
those
minutes
I'll
be
signed
as
a
correct
record.
The
only
part
of
the
minutes
to
be
discussed
is
their
accuracy.
Are
there
any
comments?
Thank
you
and
I
will
sign
them
after
the
meeting
announcements.
B
This
is
Mr
Mayor,
it
was
a
question
I
had
on
the
minutes.
There
was
a
question.
B
Question
eight
question:
six:
sorry:
on
page
24
of
the
minutes
of
the
minutes,
yeah
portfolio
holder's
answer
states
that
he
presented
to
the
local
Ward
members
of
Council
of
ramalini
and
Council
jeans,
but
no
mention
was
made
of
third
war
councilor
Council
Harold
Sorel.
So
does
that
mean
the
minutes
need
to
be
amended
or
was
Council
housewell
excluded
from
that
war?
Presentation.
C
G
C
You
okay,
understood
if
he
misspoke.
That
means
we
record
the
misspeaking,
so
your
point
is
made,
but
it
will
not
change
the
minute
I'm
happy
to
accept
that.
Thank
you
right
announcements,
I'll
move
on
I've
got
one
announcement
and
it's
as
there's
no
other
time
to
mention
this
before
the
event.
The
event
is
the
coronation.
C
All
members
will
be
aware
that
their
local
communities
and
Parish
councils
and
whomever
can
apply
for
a
coronation.
Grant
six
have
been
applied
for
already
to
the
borough
and
there's
a
small
amount
of
money
available
to
help
them
celebrate
the
king's
cryonation.
C
C
F
C
You
very
much
I
certainly
did
not
anticipate
that,
but
mine
was
a
reasonably
recent
figure,
but
thank
you
so
much
for
that.
Council,
Radigan,
Mr.
J
American
I
asked
that
I
don't
want
to
put
upon
you
and
the
deputy
mayor,
but
would
some
sort
of
borough
photographer
be
useful
to
take
pictures
right
across
the
borough
for
the
coronation,
because
I
think
genuinely
people
would
like
to
see
what's
going
on
in
in
other
in
other
Awards.
C
Certainly
and
I
take
that
on
board.
You'll,
probably
note
that
during
certainly
during
my
year,
photographs
of
anything
that
I
attend
and
even
the
deputy
mayor,
if
he's
standing
in,
we
take
as
many
photographs
as
we
can
with
the
permissions
that
are
necessary
on
occasion
and
we
publicize
them
as
widely
as
we
can
in
the
both
local
press
and
on
the
borough
websites.
C
Of
course,
anything
between
now
and
the
elections.
It's
not
going
to
happen
because
of
further,
but
certainly
in
that
final
week
before
May,
making
we'd
like
to
celebrate
coronation,
and
but
it's
recognizing.
The
communities
is
the
important
thing,
because
people
are
going
to
be
putting
a
lot
of
effort
into
this,
including
my
own
and
I,
want
to
try
and
give
them
some
recognition
in
a
way.
This
will
be.
I
should
think
mainly
on
the
Sunday,
the
7th
of
May
councilor
putty,.
K
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
There
are
some
streets
like
in
Wards.
They
are
going
to
organize
their
own
festivities
for
this
occasion,
and
the
thing
is
that,
but
that
some
of
them
would
require
some
sort
of
funding.
So
how
do
they
really
if
they
are
doing
small
one,
how
they
can
reach
for
the
funding?
It's.
C
Thank
you
very
much
move
on
to
and
I
know
the
deputy
mayor
doesn't.
Does
the
leader
have
anything
to
say
fine?
Thank
you
go
into
question
five.
The
questions
from
sorry
item
number
five
questions
for
members
of
the
public.
There
are
none,
none
have
been
received.
No
petitions
moving
on
to
agenda
number,
seven
resignations
and
appointments
Shake
of
the
head
from
the
leader.
Anybody
else,
group
leaders
nope.
C
Thank
you
very
much.
Move
on
to
agenda
item
number
eight.
This
is
the
pay
policy
statements
and,
as
per
the
usual
I
believe,
the
chief
executive
is
absentencing
himself
as
the
head
of
the
paid
service
and
I
will
move
this
from
the
chair
and
are
there
any
speakers?
C
And
I
will
move
on
not
standing
monitoring
officers
just
left
a
gender
item
and
number
nine
has
been
withdrawn.
C
C
C
M
C
B
Hopefully,
I
won't
need
that
I'm
sure
we're
all
aware
of
the
impacts
of
the
cost
of
living
crisis.
Fuel
poverty
is
defined
as
when
a
household
can't
afford
to
keep
this
home
adequately.
Warm
I
am
dealing
with
an
unprecedented
number
of
housing
cases,
as
I'm
sure
many
of
my
colleagues
here
in
art
as
well.
Tonight.
B
B
B
C
N
Thank
you,
Mr
I'd
like
to
thank
councilors,
McCormick
and
Freeman
for
flagging
up
this
really
important
issue.
We
acknowledge
that
many
people
are
finding
things
tough
at
present
and
recognize
that
some
residents
are
struggling.
I'd
like
to
highlight
a
wide
number
of
actions
that
we
already
taken
to
support
people
living
in
bays
and
soaking
Dean.
At
this
difficult
time.
There
are
also
a
number
of
national
initiatives
and
payments
that
we
have
supplemented
locally.
N
In
addition
to
the
cost
of
living
assistance
scheme
that
we
launched
last
year,
there
are
a
number
of
actions
in
our
adopted
climate
change
strategy
which
seek
not
only
to
reduce
carbon
emissions,
but
support
residents
in
saving
money
through
improved
Energy
Efficiency.
Indeed,
these
and
other
actions
will
be
the
focus
of
our
recently
announced
sixth
strong
Green
Team,
which
will
begin
to
support
communities
from
early
summer
asgard's
financial
support
to
us
wonderful
fuel
poverty.
N
We
already
facilitate
a
number
of
Grants
and
Loans
to
Residents
through
initiatives
such
as
the
green
homes,
Grant,
the
boiler
upgrade
Grant
and
the
Energy
company
obligation
offer
referred
to
Innovation.
These
have
been
in
place
since
before
the
course
of
living
crisis,
and
we
will
continue
to
seek
further
funding
opportunities
as
they
become
available.
Encouraging
residents
to
take
advantage
of
these
opportunities
would
be
a
particular
focus
of
the
green
team
when
they
arrive
supporting
residents
in
making
Grant
applications
signposting
and
hand
holding
them
through
this
important
process.
N
The
council
has
ensured
that
the
housing
element
of
the
household
support
funding,
passported
To
Us
by
Hampshire
County
Council,
has
been
focused
solely
on
assistance
with
energy
and
utility
bills,
with
particular
emphasis
on
where
possible,
on
those
struggling
with
damper
mold
in
their
accommodation.
Our
housing
standards
team
has
taken
a
positive
approach
to
overseeing
and
enforcement.
Enforcing
standards
in
the
private
sector.
N
Market
is
showing
that
private
landlords
maintain
their
properties
with
a
routine
check
of
all
epcs
when
they
undertake
inspections
to
ensure
that
their
homes
meet
the
minimum
standard,
as
well
as
having
the
ability
to
take
enforcement
action.
If
they're,
if
during
the
inspection
officers,
find
there
is
significant
risk
within
the
council,
we
have
established
the
cost
of
living
working
group
chaired
by
the
executive
director
of
corporate
services.
O
Yeah
I'm,
probably
going
to
annoy
a
certain
Gentleman
on
my
left,
because
I'm
going
to
talk
about
experience,
many
people
in
this
Council
will
be
aware
that
citizens
advice
in
chatterley
has
been
doing
advice
sessions
for
members
and
officers
to
be
aware
of
what
citizens
advice
can
do.
O
Citizens
advice
entirely
have
an
energy
advisor
currently
which
was
paid
for
with
a
grant
and
which
will
continue
with
the
cost
of
living
money
that
we
have
received
from
this
Council
I
know
that
this
Council
has
done
a
great
deal
and
I
would
hope
that
this
could
be
supported
across
across
the
the
ventures.
So
I
am
surprised
that
we
haven't
just
got
support
at
the
moment.
O
People
later
Paul
Harvey
has
moving
a
motion
on
child
poverty.
I
think
what
we
have
to
remember,
that
it
isn't
just
children
that
are
poor
in
this
Borough
citizens.
Advice
nationally
have
just
reported
that
50
of
the
people
that
come
to
them
with
debt
are
already
in
a
negative
budget.
So
there
is
absolutely
nothing
that
they
can
do
to
help
them
out
of
debt
because
they
don't
earn
enough
to
be
able
to
pay
their
bills.
O
We
need
to
look
at
things
in
around.
Yes,
we
need
to
improve
the
homes,
but
we
also
need
to
reduce
the
cost
of
energy
that
people
do
have
to
use
if
you're,
old
and
vulnerable
or
ill,
and
you
have
to
have
Heating
in
your
house.
We
have
missed
the
boat
2000
I
got
involved
in
a
greening
campaign
based
in
Petersfield.
O
This
Borough
joins
it
only
a
few
years
ago
that
would
have
been
if
we'd
have
delivered
it
properly.
I've
meant
that
our
houses
were
already
fit
for
purpose
and
the
cost
of
energy
would
have
gone
down.
I'm
an
unpaid
director
of
clever
Community
energy,
the
cost
of
renewal
Renewables
is
not
going
to
go
down
a
great
deal
because
it
is
linked
to
the
gas
and
oil
prices,
and
until
that
link
is
actually
removed,
it
is
going
to
continue
to
stay
at
a
high
level
and
people
cannot
afford
it.
O
People
cannot
afford
to
pay
for
the
energy
that
they
are
using
now
and
obviously
we
do
need
to
get
a
proper
joined
up
strategy
so
that
we
can
actually
deliver
what
people
in
this
Borough
need
and
across
the
country,
and
the
government
need
to
think
about
removing
the
barriers
to
more
renewable
energy.
One
other
thing
and
I'm
going
to
be
political.
O
The
liberal
Democrats
at
their
conference
at
the
weekend,
moved
a
motion
that
they
are
going
to
request
the
general
election
that
we
have
a
basic
guaranteed
income
so
that
everybody
will
have
at
least
enough
money
to
be
able
to
pay
for
their
basics
of
life.
Now,
obviously,
those
Basics
will
need
to
be
decided
in
due
course,
but
I
think
everybody
here
would
believe
that
it
is
only
right
that
people
can
afford
to
eat.
They
can
afford
to
heat
their
homes
and
they
can
afford
to
put
a
roof
over
their
head.
O
More
people
are
coming
to
Citizens
advice
now
than
have
ever
come
before.
Many
are
families
that
are
both
working.
Many
have
never
had
to
seek
help
from
certain
advice
before
and
they
are
coming
now
embarrassed
that
they
having
to
come
along.
Our
food
banks,
as
everyone
know,
are
over
subscribed
with
people
trying
to
find
enough
food.
For
a
week,
our
food
pantry
of
the
people
in
tudley
are
coming
to
the
food
pantry
as
well,
and
these
are
people
who
are
working
I
think
we
need
a
total
rethink.
P
Thank
you,
Mr
Muir
and
I
do
recognize.
Councilor
slimmons
experience
with
the
citizens,
advice,
entadly
and
I
do
respect
her
opinion
and
thank
her
for
the
words
that
she's
given
today
with
regards
to
councilor
McCormick's
motion.
I,
do
welcome
the
motion
and
I
stand
to
add
my
support
to
the
spirit
of
it.
No
one
in
today's
society
should
be
faced
with
a
choice
of
hitting
or
eating.
P
Improving
the
Energy
Efficiency
of
Britain's,
Draft,
Day
homes
and
buildings
is
the
best
way
to
cut
energy
bills
permanently,
while
also
boosting
the
UK's
energy
security
and
reducing
carbon
emissions.
Today's
announcements
will
rightly
prioritize
those
who
need
support
the
most
low-income
households
and
social
housing
I'm
encouraged.
We
have
the
additional
funding
being
provided
from
central
government
and
the
beginnings
of
a
team
who
will
be
focused
on
reaching
out
to
our
most
vulnerable
residents
and
I.
Believe
we
can
work
together
cross-party
to
look
to
do
what
is
best
for
our
residents.
P
I
look
forward
to
hearing
cabinet's
approach
to
approving
the
Energy
Efficiency
of
our
homes
and
protecting
our
residents
from
rising
fuel
bills
and
the
cost
of
living
crisis,
whilst
I
support
the
spirit
of
the
motion.
I
cannot
support
and
vote
for
the
motion,
because
I
believe
the
responsibility
lies
with
others,
but
thank
you
again,
councilman
McCormick
for
bringing
this.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
I
wasn't
going
to
say
much,
but
I
I
do
think
it
is
an
important
issue,
but
and
I
would
like
to
highlight
some
of
the
the
difficulties
in
the
rural
communities
where
the
main
source
of
power
is
not
Maine's
gas,
but
is
oil
and
they
that
poverty
is
endemic.
Of
course,
all
communities,
not
just
here
in
the
town
but
across
the
rural
communities
as
well
I
further
note
that
we
did
have
from
tavri
citizen
advice,
aim
a
benefits.
J
First,
aid
meeting
last
night,
unfortunately,
and
I
look
at
both
sides
of
this
chamber.
There
were
very
few
of
you,
counselors
attending
it
I
think
genuinely.
That
would
have
been
of
benefit
to
you
all
to
understand
what
the
citizens
advice
do,
what
help
they
can
provide
and
what
their
integration
in
dealing
with
fuel
poverty
and
debt,
as
councilman
has
rightly
pointed
out,
because
it
is
important.
A
A
A
Don't
doubt
that
at
all
I
just
think
the
challenge
we're
facing
at
the
moment
is
so
great
and
so
significant
and
so
serious
to
so
many
people
that
unless
we
pass
Motions
like
this,
unless
we
show
the
level
of
commitment
action
not
just
agreeing
to
the
spirit
of
something
but
saying
actually
no
we're
going
to
do
more.
We're
doing
Lots
we're
doing
tremendous
amounts,
but
we're
going
to
do
more.
A
We're
going
to
take
this
further
we're
going
to
take
this
arm
and
listen
to
what
you're
saying,
because
you've
got
direct
case,
work
that
relates
to
the
issues
we're
facing
I.
Think
that's
really
important!
I
get
the
money
that's
been
thrown
at
this
by
government
yeah,
the
1.8
billion
the
2.5
billion.
A
That's
only
going
to
do
115
000
homes
across
the
entire
country.
There
are
four
million
homes
in
Social
rent
in
this
country.
It's
only
going
to
touch
a
hundred
just
over
a
hundred
thousand
of
them.
Yes,
it's
money,
I
get
that!
Yes,
it
will
do
good
for
those
100
000
people
who
have
the
homes
that
need
the
insulation,
but
there
are
millions
more
that
need
to
be
brought
into
this
equation.
Now
we
can't
obviously
in
our
Wards
in
our
Borough,
do
that
alone.
For
our
communities
we
have
to
work
with
our
social
landlords.
A
It's
also
worth
saying
the
1600
social
landlords
across
the
country.
You
split
that
1.8
billion
up
between
local
authorities
and
those
housing
associations,
and
it
isn't
going
to
be
a
lot
of
money
that
they're
each
going
to
get
in
the
context
of
the
social
housing
that
they've
got.
So,
let's
bring
all
that
to
one
side.
I
think
it
brings
us
back
to
what
we
can
do
together.
So,
yes,
that
one
is
on
the
table.
Yes,
we
are
doing
something.
A
The
other
thing
that's
come
up
in
caseworker
was
an
issue.
I
dealt
with
recently
was
the
idea
of
those
prepayment
meters
and
that
isn't
connected
necessarily
directly
to
the
motion.
But
it
is
something
that
many
of
our
residents
have
faced.
The
imposition
of
those
prepayment
meters
by
companies
that
should
not
have
been
doing
it
in
the
first
place
and
the
debt
that's
associated
with
that
and
the
issues
that's
associated
with
that
this
is
so
layered.
You
could
just
cut
this
through
so
many
layers
of
the
issues
that
our
residents
are
facing
so
I
welcome.
A
The
motion
I
welcome
the
spirit
of
the
motion,
but
more
than
that
I
want
the
action
and
I
agree
with
the
action
you're
trying
to
push
forward.
I
just
think
we've
got
to
be
together
stronger
in
the
action
we
take
and
not
just
support
the
spirit
of
something
I
get
it.
But
let's
all
together
go
forward
on
this
and
do
something
about
it.
C
Q
Very
quick
thanks,
Mr
Mayor
for
anyone
who
did
miss
the
course.
Then
citizens
advice.
Do
you
put
these
on
throughout
the
year?
You
can
also
sign
up
to
Eventbrite,
which
is
on
your
mobile
online
and
they
give
stats
throughout
the
year.
So
I've
listened
to
some
of
them,
and
so
just
for
your
information
thanks.
F
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
Mayor,
keep
it
brief.
I'm
sitting
here
with
one
of
our
web
pages
on
our
accounts,
webpage
and
I
can
see
at
least
eight
streams
for
for
funding,
with
mostly
grants,
mostly
for
EPC
ratings
D
or
below
some
for
all
ratings
and
I.
Just
think
we
need
to
be
really
clear.
Don't
we?
There
is
a
lot
of
money
out
there
and
councilor
McIntyre
has
made
it
really
clear
that
there's
more
money
coming
down
the
track.
F
I
think
we
have
to
be
really
focused
on
action
and
I
just
want
to
be
really
clear
that
that's
what
the
green
team
is
focused
on,
because
the
most
important
thing
is.
There
is
no
point
Having
Eight
schemes
on
our
website
if
we
can't
convert
it
to
action
and
energy
efficient
improvements
in
homes
in
our
Borough
and
I
think
we
should
all
be
really
focused
on
supporting
that
supporting
the
Green
Team
and
making
that
action
happen.
Thank
you.
Mr
Mayor.
M
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
should
be
quick.
There
seems
to
be
sort
of
some
sort
of
discrepancy
here,
but
but
with
with
people
saying
they
support
the
spirit
of
the
motion.
They
like
what
we're
saying,
I
think
this
I
would
like
to
commend.
As
as
the
the
motion
says,
we
note
the
good
work
that
this
borough
is
already
doing,
but
there's
more,
we
can
do
and
I
think
what
this
motion
is
seeking
to
do
is
to
say.
M
It's
not
really
more
I
can
say,
I
hope
you
can
support
the
motion
and
the
you
know
you
can
see
that
we're
not
trying
to
denigrate
or
take
away
from
the
work
that
we
already
do,
but
we're
trying
to
say
this
is
great,
but
we
need
to
move
it
forward
and
this
this
motion
does
trying
to
tie
that
up
and
work
on
a
future
strategy
to
complement
what
our
officers
and
this
Borough
are
already
doing.
For
people
who
are
offering
in
fuel
poverty.
B
Thank
you,
Mr
bear
so
yes,
I
too
sense,
I.
Think
there's
a
bit
of
a
disconnect
going
on
here
is
this
motion
isn't
intended
to
criticize
what
the
council's
already
doing,
but
the
problem
that
I've
identified
needs
a
resolution
needs
a
long-term
solution,
which
is
what
this
this
motion
is
aimed
at.
B
B
More
green
I
think
there's
things
that
just
aren't
understood
that
are
underpinning
this
motion.
This
is
why
I
brought
this
motion
front
of
you,
because
it's
painting
the
office
to
me
that,
in
spite
of
what
we're
doing,
we
still
have
people
that
are
in
such
a
bad
position.
They
can't
afford
to
live
because
of
their
fuel
bills
and
that's
in
spite
of
things
like
the
energy
price
guarantee.
That's
in
spite
of
things
like
the
400
pounds
that
the
government
have
put
in
their
bank
account.
B
So
I'm
immensely
grateful
for
the
officers
who've
put
together
an
action
plan
at
very
short
notice,
and
it's
not
just
me.
There
were
counselors
in
other
other
Wards
and
other
parties
that
have
had
similar
things
and
and
other
borrowers
as
well
that
have
get
picked
up
on
this
problem
and
it
is
an
extreme
problem.
We
can't
be
complacent
about
this.
B
That's
why
I
want
you
to
vote
for
this
motion,
because
if
you
don't
the
people
out,
there
aren't
going
to
say
oh
well,
they
supported
the
spirit
of
the
motion,
but
they
can't
support
the
next
emotion.
They'll,
just
think
you
don't
care
about
fuel
poverty,
so
I
would
urge
you
to
support
this
motion.
If
you
spot
the
spirit
of
it,
why
can't
you
spot
the
letter
of
it?
Thank
you.

Q
Q
The
discount
is
based
upon
a
presumption
of
long-term
local,
social,
local,
social,
economical
or
environmental
benefit.
A
Community
Asset
is
a
building
of
or
piece
of
land
that
is
used
to
further
the
social
well-being
or
interests
of
the
local
community.
Currently,
in
the
borough,
we
have
a
community
assets
list.
Q
You
may
recognize
some
of
the
assets
on
the
current
list,
from
which
church
we
have
the
cricket
ground,
Daniel,
Park
and
the
silk
Mill
amongst
others
and
pubs,
such
as
the
Red
House
in
high
clear,
the
red
line
in
Overton,
the
fox
in
North
Fox,
Inn,
North,
Waltham,
the
the
camera
stadium
is
listed,
Overton,
primary
swimming
pool
and
then
in
my
own
Ward
24
Swan
Street,
which
I've
been
campaigning
to
keep
within
the
community
for
approaching
two
years
now.
Q
R
Q
Q
Bathing
soaking
Dean
have
a
large
property
portfolio
to
manage
the
Property
Services
team.
Do
a
great
job
managing
their
financial
side
of
the
portfolio
and
identifying
assets
that
are
under
performing
a
cap
policy
can
run
between
the
Property
Services
and
the
community
team.
It
can
identify
any
beneficial
Community
transfer
options
and
be
open
to
community
approaches.
It's
a
pro.
It
could
be
a
proactive
approach
reaching
out
to
our.
Q
Yeah
reaching
out
and
enabling
our
communities
Milton
Keynes
Council
developed
a
cat
program
back
in
2012
and
have
further
developed
their
policy.
It
includes
the
transfer
of
public
conveniences
to
parish
and
town
councils,
which
is
applicable
to
our
Borough.
A
fair,
clear
and
transparent
policy
would
help
the
negotiations
between
the
borough
and
the
parishes.
Q
Currently
M
Milton
Keynes
have
successfully
transferred
27
assets
from
69
applications.
Moving
cat
applications
are
not
always
accepted,
but
the
successful
cases
do
prove
their
worth
in
my
world.
There's
a
great
opportunity
for
kingsglare
Performing,
Arts,
Youth,
Center
Community
interest
company
to
take
over
24
Swan
Street.
The
future
social
economic
value
of
their
project
to
the
borough
would
far
outweigh
the
low.
Q
The
loss
of
the
capital,
receipt
of
a
private
sale
I've
been
part
of
the
campaign
to
save
24
Sun
Street
since
2021,
so
June
2021
I
feel
that
both
the
borough
and
certainly
the
tenants
would
have
benefited
from
a
cap
policy.
I've
put
it
over
to
the
floor
for
discussion
and
opinions
on
whether
other
councilors
feel
a
cat
policy
would
be
a
good
step.
Thank
you.
E
E
C
J
Thank
you,
Mr,
Mayor
and
I'm
delighted
that
the
administration
have
picked
up
the
Baton
on
this
and
obviously
I
support
a
policy
going
forward.
We
do
have
a
large
property
portfolio
and
it
is
right
that
we
review
how
some
of
that
may
be
moved
to
the
communities
in
the
future.
J
I'm
delighted
that
councilor
Morrow
has
supported
us
on
the
last
two
transfers,
the
one
that
Swan
Street
was
done
before
he
was
a
counselor,
so
he
is
undoubtedly
particularly
efficient
at
this.
So
I
look
forward
to
him,
helping
us
in
in
any
other
way
in
the
future.
So
thank
you,
foreign.
F
I
absolutely
support
this
motion
and
and
supports
the
works
that
Council
tomorrow
and
everybody
else.
Who's
spoken
has
said
very
positively,
but
I
think
there's
also
something
isn't
it
that
we
need
to
ensure
that's
in
the
policy
which
is
we're
very
you
know
we're
in
a
great
position
as
an
authority
you're
having
so
many
Community
assets
and
assets
that
the
council
owns,
that
we
have
different
organizations,
whether
it
be
Charities
or
voluntary
groups
in
Mr,
Mayor
and,
of
course,
I.
Think.
F
Sometimes
we
forget
how
much
those
assets
cost
to
maintain
an
upkeep
and
I.
Think
there's
also
that
reality
that
there
is
a
responsibility
on
us
to
ensuring
that
policy
that
we
give
support
to
those
organizations.
So
they
fully
understand
the
responsibilities
and
liabilities
that
they
could
be
taking
on,
because
I
think
the
worst
thing
that
we
can
do
is
be
very
positive
about
it,
which
I
know
some
local
authorities.
Policies
are
without
being
very
real
about
it
to
say.
F
Actually,
this
is
the
true
cost
of
taking
over
a
Community
Asset
and
therefore,
what
you'll
need
to
do
as
far
as
fundraising
and
financial
planning
to
be
able
to
look
after
it
in
the
future,
because
I
think
the
worst
thing
we
could
end
up
with
is
then
having
to
negotiate
how
we
take
it
back.
Foreign.
S
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
won't
need
to
read
all
of
this,
because
you've
got
policy
coming,
which
is
great.
Thank
you.
S
What
I
would
like
to
do
is
just
say:
I'm
delighted
to
Second
Council,
tomorrow's
motion
this
evening,
I'm
a
big
fan
of
cross-party
collaboration,
I'm,
also
a
big
fan
of
communities
taking
ownership
delivery
local
Services
themselves,
so
this
policy
is
important
to
me.
I
first
became
aware
of
24
Swan
Street
when
I
tried
to
rent
an
office
there
for
my
business
back
in
2019,
I'm
delighted
that
the
dance
school
down
there
and
the
businesses
down
there
have
survived
four
years
of
uncertainty
around
that
building.
S
I
think
that's
remarkable,
especially
off
the
back
of
covid
as
well.
So
I
think
it's
I'm
really
delighted
to
hear
the
policy
coming.
I
I
respect
what
counts.
The
minus
bound
has
said
about
the
costs
of
upkeep
of
the
buildings.
I
think
it's
very
important
I
did
a
bit
of
research
on
it.
I
just
wanted
to
share
with
you
about
how
some
of
this
works.
S
S
He
was
under
the
impression
that
there's
a
there's
an
algorithm,
but
he
didn't
know
what
the
algorithm
was.
So
he
said
that
head
of
Property
Services
might
know
I
went
and
had
a
chat
with
head
of
Property
Services,
who
looked
at
me
blankly
and
said
there
is
no
such
algorithm.
S
So
what
I
also
found
out,
though,
was
that,
whilst
the
council
has
an
obligation
to
achieve
best
value
under
the
Local
Government
Act
there's
also
this
derogation
under
the
general
disposal
order
2003,
which
allows
the
council
to
Discount
a
building
by
up
to
two
million
pounds
for
an
asset
of
community
value,
whether
that's
societal
or
economic
or
environmental
benefits
which,
on
the
face
of
it,
is
great
I
mean
for
24,
Swan,
Street
I,
don't
think
the
building's
worth
two
million
pounds,
it's
probably
worth
less
than
a
million.
S
So
you
know
we're
in
this
position
where
we
could
actually
give
some
of
these
Community
assets
away
to
the
community.
Subject
to
what
councilman
said,
some
sort
of
Robin
Hood
economics
could
be
on
the
horizon.
Who
knows
but
I
think
what's
important
here.
Is
that
there's
no?
From
my
perspective,
there's
and
I
believe
that
that
cabinet
approved
the
sale
recently
I
can't
find
any
details
about
the
discount
other
than
it's
been
delegated
to
officers
to
negotiate.
S
If
that's
correct
or
not,
maybe
someone
can
can
fill
that
in
for
me,
but
I
think
I
really
supported
the
the
motion
to
have
a
policy
and
certainly
to
include
in
that
policy.
S
S
I
know,
that's
a
phenomenally
hard
question,
but
at
the
moment
you
know
we're
in
a
position
where,
if
a
deal
can't
be
done
between
offices
and
the
community
in
Swan
Street
in
six
months
time,
it
goes
to
the
open
market,
and
that
would
be
the
wrong
outcome
and
I
think
everyone
in
this
room
believes
that
would
be
the
wrong
outcome.
S
If
I'm
not
putting
words
in
your
mouth,
so
I
would
just
please
ask
that
the
policy
tries
to
address
how
we
might
quantify
societal
value
and
how
we
make
put
timelines
around
this
stuff
so
that
our
communities
can
really
seize
the
opportunity
when,
when
it
comes
along.
Thank
you
thank.
Q
Well,
this
is
really
good
news.
It's
a
bit
of
a
problem
for
me
because
I
had
a
speech,
but
it's
still
it's
still
applicable.
Some
of
this.
There
is
a
big
difference
between
Community
right
to
buy
and
Community.
Asset
transfer
and
and
Community
right
to
buy
is
a
pretty
preemptive
legal
right
pertaining
to
communities.
It's
a
legal
thing,
it's
not
a
it's,
not
something
we
do
as
a
Borough.
You
know
to
try
and
make
something
happen.
It's
just
what
anyone
can
do.
Q
It's
legal
so
I'm
really
happy
that
you
know
we're
going
to
move
to
a
situation
where
we're
going
to
try
and
work
with
people,
and
one
of
the
things
I
will
have
to
say
is:
communication
is
so
important
in
this
policy
and
hey
kindly
passed
on
this.
There.
Q
Obviously
here
by
locality,
power
to
change
which
really
incredible
great
and
Brilliant
I
already
was
aware
of
it,
but
I
didn't
manage
to
find
the
correct
one
and
it's
all
there
and
you
just
have
a
quick
read
through
it.
It's
it's
really
good.
What
I
have
to
say
on
behalf
of
24
Swan
Street
is
what
we've
heard
tonight.
Q
Isn't
a
reflection
of
what
they've
had
on
the
ground
they've
had
two
years
when
I've
been
known
where
they're
uncertain
about
their
building
his
head
there
right
I've
had
I,
went
to
Kingsley
parish
council
meeting
on
Monday,
where
the
one
of
the
directors
hasn't
slept
for
five
days,
because
she's
still
not
sure
that
our
council
is
going
to
sell
to
them
and
that's
because
it
is
a
six-month
period,
and
you
started
that
six
month
period
without
telling
them
the
price
see
I'm.
Not
that
that's
that's
the
truth.
Q
That's
what
the
people
on
the
ground
are
feeding
and
I've
had
this
for
two
years.
Okay,
so
I'll
leave
it
there
and
I'm
really
happy
that
you're
going
to
come
up
with
a
policy
I
think
it's
a
good
thing
for
the
brother
and
thank
you
cheers.
C
A
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
child
poverty
in
is
increasing
in
our
Borough
over
5
000
children
are
now
living
in
poverty,
according
to
the
charity
Action
for
Children,
but
there
are
many
complex
reasons
why
child
poverty
exists
and
is
increasing,
and
we
need
to
understand
why,
if
we
are
to
better
identify
what
we
can
do
to
make
a
difference,
there
is
a
tremendous
amount
of
good
work
being
done
in
our
communities.
A
It
matters
to
recognize
the
work
but
to
acknowledge,
but
we
also
can
do
far
more
working
with
our
communities
is
also
an
essential
part
of
any
action
we
might
take.
Working
with
our
partners
is
often
the
case
that
we
are
the
ones
who
combine
the
many
moving
Parts
together
so
that
we
multiply
the
good
work
that
is
going
on
in
our
communities
that
we
create
stronger,
coordinated
Partnerships.
That
could
actually
do
that.
More
that
we
want.
A
For
me,
child
poverty
is
something
that
we
should
be
ashamed
of,
and
here
in
Basics
token
Dean
we
have
the
means
to
do
something
about
it.
There
simply
is
no
excuse,
think
of
the
assets
that
we
have
at
our
disposal,
the
community
centers.
The
staff,
the
resources,
the
links
and
partners
we
work
with
our
many
community
centers
can
be
hubs
of
activity.
Indeed,
many
already
are.
They
are
the
focus
points
for
coordinating
Services.
A
They
are
the
islands
of
Hope,
for
so
many
people
linked
to
that
work
of
the
local
churches
and
local
voluntary
Community
groups,
and
we
have
a
patchwork
quilt
and
amazing
things
that
is
happening,
but
it's
our
assets
that
can
unlock
the
answers.
It's
our
assets
that
could
be
the
root
out
of
the
crisis
for
many
people.
A
I
also
think
it's
about
the
way
we
can
work.
We
need
to
challenge
the
usual
approach
to
problem
solving
in
our
community,
which
traditionally
sees
service
providers
and
decision
makers
focus
on
the
problems
of
neighborhoods
and
communities,
without
necessarily
connecting
with
those
communities
to
understand
what
is
already
going
on
and
what
can
be
made
better.
A
The
narratives
that
dominate
the
conversation
about
the
poorest
neighborhoods
in
our
Borough
to
often
find
themes
such
as
anti-social,
Behavior
or
isolation,
crime
rates
or
lower
Health
outcomes,
to
name
a
few
now,
if
we
only
focus
on
the
problems
communities
face,
we
don't
really
ever
expect
those
problems
to
return
I'm,
not
talking
about
simply
plugging
the
gaps
just
because
County
and
other
agencies
have
cut
back
their
services,
and
they
have
we've
got
to
be
about
more
than
that.
We
need
to
be
about
lasting
results.
A
We
need
to
see
The
Wider
picture
to
get
a
better
understanding
so
that
we
talk
about
solutions.
They
are
grounded
in
the
community.
It
cannot
be
about
us
doing
to
communities,
we
have
to
work
with
them
and
be
a
part
of
them
so
that
when
we
do
embeds
itself
and
it
becomes
something
of
the
community-
that's
why
we
have
a
role
here.
That's
why
we
are
best
placed
to
bridge
that
connection.
Think
about
the
questions
we
could
be
asking
ourselves
what
is
best
done
by
those
communities
themselves?
A
Yes,
but
what
is
best
done
by
those
communities
with
support?
What
do
those
communities
need
from
outside?
To
help
them
more
often
than
not,
if
we
take
the
time
to
look,
we
will
find
community-led
initiatives
that
are
already
coming
up
with
solutions
from
within,
but
they're
struggling
for
resources,
they're
Limited
in
scope,
because
other
funding
has
been
pulled
from
them.
Their
resources
are
short
removed
after
a
period
before
they're
really
ready
to
stand
on
their
own
and
many
fall
over.
A
But
we
know
that
we
need
more
if
we're
going
to
make
a
difference
to
these
life,
the
dive
chances
of
these
children
who
are
living
in
poverty,
the
cuts
we
have
seen
over
many
years
to
services
that
did
make
a
difference
that
supported
and
lifted
many
children
out
of
poverty
have
now
left
a
legacy
following
the
cuts.
Those
Services
aren't
there
anymore.
A
A
The
motion
is
that
we
know
the
pandemic
has
had
an
impact.
We
know
the
cost
of
living
crisis
has
had
an
impact.
We
know
those
cuts
to
government
services
have
had
an
impact
on
young
people
and
it's
really
been
a
many
difficult
position
before
all
of
that
happened.
It
was
already
a
difficult
position,
but
that
has
made
things
worse.
A
So
when
you
roll
up
all
those
challenges
that
they
face,
I
hope
you
will
share
the
aspiration
and
support
the
motion
and
bring
your
ideas
to
bear
and
what
we
can
do
together,
working
with
Partners
our
communities
collectively
with
all
those
other
agencies
and
authorities
to
tackle
child
poverty,
because
if
it's
continuing
to
increase
it's
a
disgrace
and
it
has
increased,
that's
why
we
see
the
5000
that
the
action
protect
the
children
charity
referenced
recently
as
being
yet
another
increase
in
our
Borough
and
that's
shameful.
So,
let's
work
together
to
do
something
about
it.
T
Thank
you.
Poverty
is
being
unable
to
afford
the
essentials
it's
about
going
without
is
being
hungry,
it's
being
cold,
it's
being
dirty.
Poverty
is
about
missing
out.
Poverty
is
about
worrying
where
you're
going
to
get
your
next
meal
to
heat
your
home
or
how
to
get
about
poverty
is
about.
Cutting
back,
is
cutting
back
on
food
on
washing
on
new
clothes
on
presents
on
treats
it
stops.
People
joining
in
it
stops
people
taking
part,
it
stops,
people
contributing
to
society.
T
Poverty
is
having
anxiety
around
providing
for
your
family.
Poverty
is
feeling
hopeless
and
seeing
No
Way
Out
poverty
is
feeling
embarrassed
or
getting
angry
at
the
world
and
those
around
you.
Poverty
is
Relentless,
it's
invasive
and
it's
damaging.
Poverty
spreads
through
families
and
relationships.
It
limits
personal
and
economic
growth.
Poverty
damages
us
all.
T
One
aspect
of
this
is
when
children
live
with
poverty.
It
often
leads
to
miss
school
attendance
at
school,
for
pupils
living
with
disadvantage
is
worse
than
for
others.
According
to
the
lse,
over
28
of
primary
and
40
percent
of
secondary
pupils
who
qualified
for
free
School
meals
were
persistently
absent
during
the
21-22
Autumn
term.
T
Now,
although
this
has
got
better
since
the
pandemic
this
year,
individual
trusts
are
reporting
that
half
of
their
poorer
pupils
are
still
persistently
absent.
If
a
child
is
not
at
school,
they
do
not
learn.
Children
living
with
disadvantage
persistently
have
a
lower
attainment
than
those
without
keeping
them
at
a
disadvantage.
T
Now
there
is
some
support
out
there
for
families,
but
it
can
be
fragmented.
It
is
difficult
to
find
out
what
is
available
and
how
it
should
be
accessed
waiting
times
for
cams
and
cuts
to
Children's
Services
at
county
level
mean
we
need
to
work
smarter.
Now,
more
than
ever,
we
need
a
consistent
and
accessible
approach
to
service
provision
across
the
borough.
T
We
need
to
create
an
equitable
environment
for
everyone,
shifting
Focus
to
areas
where
it
is
needed
most.
We
need
to
see
Basingstoke
Council
work
with
all
Partners
to
create
a
seamless
offering
for
our
families,
and
this
must
start
at
the
beginning
of
a
child's
life
and
be
there
to
provide
the
sport
support
when
needed.
T
U
U
U
U
Such
inequality
is
unacceptable
and
we
must
take
urgent
action
to
address
this
Mr
Maya.
It's
not
all
doom
and
gloom.
Looking
at
the
bright
side,
Hampshire
County
Council
of
the
few
councils
in
the
country
there
have
been
awarded
as
an
outstanding
children
services
for
quite
number
of
years
to
put
in
perspective.
They
are
spending
almost
a
billion
pounds
per
year
on
child
and
Children
Services,
which
includes
education
out
of
their
2.2
billion
budget,
which
is
more
than
40
percentage.
This
is
a
line.
U
Share
of
the
com
share
is
given
to
these
children
and,
if
you're,
the
figure
of
almost
40
million
Justice
spending
for
homeschool
transport,
which
is
going
to
estimated
to
increase
to
60
million
in
next
year,
and
they
are
not
backing
away
and
they
are
doing
it.
And
we
are
fortunate
and
with
the
help
of
the
DWP,
it
is
not
stopping
there
and
they
want
to
address
everyone
there.
U
In
summary,
I
fully
support
this
motion,
as
a
double
Hatter
will
continue
to
voice
my
concern
at
the
Hampshire
County
Council
and
I
encourage
my
colleagues
to
join
me
in
supporting
the
motion
until
poverty
as
we
cannot
light
of
children
living
in
poverty.
Early
Child
every
child
deserves
an
equal
opportunity
to
succeed,
regardless
of
their
background
and
situation.

V
Tragically,
child
poverty
is
often
linked
to
higher
risks
of
poor
health,
crime
and
addiction
in
later
life.
So
anything
we
are
able
to
do
to
practically
support
children
and
their
families,
who
are
living
in
poverty
or
to
avoid
poverty,
has
to
be
a
good
thing
for
us
to
do
and
Beijing
so
can
Dean.
There
are
a
range
of
Services
for
Families,
provided
by
Hampshire
County
Council
from
the
honeycomb
Children's
Center.
V
This
is
not
necessarily
accessible
by
all,
so
it
is
complemented
by
services
and
activities
at
community
centers
owned
by
Basingstoke
and
Dean
Borough
Council,
as
well
as
many
other
community
buildings
across
the
borough,
including
Community
Schools,
Village
halls
and
church
Halls.
The
Borough
Council
owns
23
community
centers,
which
are
managed
by
Independent
Community
associations.
V
In
addition
to
this,
both
the
integrated
care
board
and
the
Borough
Council
contributes
to
the
core
costs
for
the
Youth
Counseling
Service
ypi
counseling,
a
charity
providing
mental
health
and
emotional
support
to
young
people
in
the
borough.
We've
also
made
available
targeted
grant
funding
in
the
borough.
The
Cost
of
Living
Community
Fund
has
assisted
local,
not-for-profit
organizations,
providing
support
to
Residents
with
cost
of
living
and
is
about
to
launch
again
a
second
round
with
a
further
95
000
pounds
available.
V
In
addition,
the
council's
cost
of
living
assistance
fund
offers
one-off
payments
to
households
to
help
with
the
rising
cost
of
living.
One
million
of
funding
has
already
been
allocated
to
households
and
we
have
a
further
one
million
of
funding
included
in
the
2324
budget
to
continue
the
scheme
into
the
next
financial
year.
V
Hampshire
County
Council
offers
funding
to
support
families
through
the
household
support
fund
and
holiday
activities
and
food
program.
This
enables
the
provision
of
food
and
fuel
vouchers
to
help
with
housing
costs,
free
holiday
activities
for
children
and
young
people
in
need,
as
well
as
food,
pantries,
Basingstoke
and
Dean
Borough
Council
administers
the
household
support
fund
through
the
allocation
of
food
vouchers
to
those
households
who
are
in
receipt
of
pension,
credit
guarantee,
credit
and
local
council
tax
support.
V
V
Thank
you.
The
partnership
considers
what
support
is
available
and
opportunities
to
collaborate
to
further
develop
local
services
within
the
council.
There
is
a
cost
of
living
working
group
which
considers
the
range
of
support
available
to
Residents,
including
ways
to
keep
people
informed
about
what
help
they
can
access.
V
V
W
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I'll.
Try
to
shorten
my
speech
just
for
the
benefit
of
everyone
else,
but
I
had
had
quite
a
quite
a
speech
going
so
I'm
going
to
give
my
full
support
to
this
motion,
and,
whilst
the
bulk
of
the
motion
regards
children
in
poverty,
I
wanted
to
highlight
just
some
of
the
cuts,
the
effects
of
the
cuts
to
cams
and
Children's
Services
itself.
W
I'd,
like
you
all,
to
cast
your
memories
back
to
around
2016
at
a
time
that
the
conservatives
would
have
spent
a
year
in
power
after
the
power
sharing
with
the
lib
Dems,
and
they
were
starting
to
continue
with
their
their
cuts
to
Services
across
the
board.
It's
around
this
time
that
we
noticed
that
my
eldest
daughter
was
self-harming.
W
We
found
an
endless
wait
for
Cam's
assessment
and
appointments
were
given
depending
on
severity,
with
that
severity
being
from
bad
to
very
bad
and
at
the
time
it
didn't
seem
that
her
needs
were
important
enough.
W
If
we
fast
forward
to
2017
this
lack
of
support
meant
that
things
had
been
bottled
up
for
a
number
of
years
and
she
was
finding
it
very
hard
to
deal
with
her
issues
so
much
so
that
she
actually
tried
to
take
her
own
life
on
numerous
occasions.
W
W
It
wasn't
until
we
were
unable
to
keep
her
safe
in
our
own
home
that
cams
had
to
take
action.
She
was
placed
in
a
unit
on
the
East
Sussex
Kent
border,
about
two
and
a
half
hours
away
from
Basingstoke,
now,
I
consider
myself
one
of
the
lucky
ones
and
considering
the
circumstances
that
we
were
in
at
the
time
my
work
afforded
me
the
ability
to
take
time
off
or
finish
earlier,
but
many
parents
of
children
that
were
in
that
unit
at
the
time
were
just
not
able
to
do
the
same.
W
They
were
traveling
as
far
as
Norwich
to
to
visit
their
children,
and
it
was
just
simply
unaffordable
to
to
travel
all
the
time,
but
my
daughter,
Nina
had
been
there
had
cams
been
provided
the
correct
funding
to
be
able
to
support
her
when
she
needed
it
most
nearly
five
years
on
from
leaving
the
head
the
high
dependency
unit,
you
would
have
thought
that
things
had
got
better
Unfortunately
they
haven't
and
we
need
to
act
now.
W
The
second
example
that
I'd
like
to
raise
pertains
to
the
fact
that
I'm,
the
father
of
a
disabled
daughter
that
attends
a
school
near
Reading,
we've
seen
considerable
cuts
to
Children's
Services
over
the
years
and
I've
seen
a
steady
decline
in
the
services
that
she
is
afforded
from
the
escort
being
cut
to
her
transport,
which
I
pay
nearly
300
pounds
a
month
for
the
the
escort
cut
overnight,
because
it
was
deemed
that
she
didn't
need
it
and
I've
had
to
fight
for
that
to
be
replaced.
W
This
week
alone,
her
transport
has
been
cut
actual
notice,
meaning
that
she
hasn't
had
education
or
I've
had
to
give
up
work
to
travel
all
the
way
to
reading
and
Back
Again,
which
is
about
an
hour
and
a
half
round
trip
to
get
her
the
education
that
she
needs
now.
I,
don't
blame
officers
and
the
the
case
officers
at
HCC,
the
staff.
W
There
are
stretched
beyond
belief
and
without
it
you
know
again,
I
consider
myself
lucky
because
I'm
able
to
support
how
I
work
from
home
and
I
can
you
know,
travel
in,
and
my
work
is
in
a
position
to
allow
me
to
do
so,
but
there
are
thousands
of
children,
many
in
in
winkleberry
down.
That
simply
cannot
do
this
because
of
the
cuts
that
have
been
inflicted
and
because
of
the
poverty
that
they
face,
yeah
less
than
a
minute,
so
I
support
this
motion
and
I
hope
that
other
members
can
do
so.
X
X
I
am
a
community
I
am
a
chair
of
one
of
those
community
centers
a
whole
for
all
and
I
wanted
to
talk
about
some
of
the
positive
work
that
we're
doing
there,
but
also
what
we
could
achieve
and
what
more
we
could
do.
You
know
to
address
some
of
these
needs
and
really
the
gaps
in
services
in
many
of
those
other
community
centers
around
the
borough,
but
also
that
we
need
to
map
what
is
out
there,
a
map.
X
What
is
is
going
well,
which
is
working
and
what
is
not
working
and
where
there
are
gaps
and
what
we
can
do
and
I
suppose
the
action
plan
and
this
strategy
is
that
this
is
what
this
is
about,
that
we
really
need
to
have
an
understanding
what's
going
on,
but
within
the
whole
for
all
we
have
health
visitors.
We
have
the
midwives,
we
also
have
the
cab
on
a
weekly
basis
in
the
hall.
For
all
we
have
a
a
drop.
We
have
a.
X
We
have
a
nursery
in
in
that
Community
Center
as
well
as
that
we
also
and
as
a
low-cost
Nursery.
We
also
have
a
facility
for
people
to
come
and
drop
their
children
and
play
and
which
is
a
very
low
cost
once
a
week,
and
it
works
really
well,
we've
got
a
charity
shop.
We've
got
so
much
going
on,
but
there's
also
so
much
more
that
we
could
do
and
we
would
want
to
do
within
that
community
enter
and
I'm
sure.
X
Looking
at
the
other
facilities
in
our
within
just
in
within
Northern,
we
have
a
community
school,
a
community
building
there.
They
do
some
great
things,
but
they
could
do
more.
We
have
another
Community
Center
within
the
world
that
needs
to
do
a
lot
more.
The
other
issue
really
is
about
community
centers,
and
not
all
of
them
have
managers
now.
Can
we,
if
they
don't
have
a
manager?
Can
they
actually
deliver
some
of
these
services?
X
Do
we
need
to
have
managers
in
place
and
staff
in
place
to
be
able
to
facilitate
the
services
that
we
need
Within
These
community
centers,
but
to
just
for
us
to
reflect
on,
and
we
can
talk
about
some
of
the
great
stuff
that
we're
doing
across
the
borough?
But
it's
not
enough!
Is
it
if,
if
the
ongoing
reality
is
we
see
year
on
year,
the
the
stats
rising
and
there's
more
and
more
children
in
poverty?
X
Y
Thank
you
good
evening.
Thank
you
to
all
the
previous
speakers
under
an
excellent
motion.
Y
Y
Anecdotally,
I
I
had
a
case
of
a
resident
in
Basingstoke
very
recently,
which
would
completely
Echo
what
counselor
Lee's
experiences
are
with
a
child
in
a
very
serious
position,
been
part
of
a
domestic
abuse
case
was
self-harming
and
I
I
I've
been
trying
to
help
them
access
mental
health
support
and
it's
it's
been
an
absolute
Nightmare
and
we
haven't
been
successful
and
just
really
to
Echo
what
council
James
says:
we're
a
very
rich
Council.
We
have
huge
result.
We
seem
to
add
money
to
our
reserves
every
year.
One.
Y
Of
cutting
the
money
to
count
to
amazing
third
sectors
that
do
so
much
in
our
Borough,
we
should
be
adding
and
increasing
the
grants
we
give
to
to
organizations
like
ypi,
amongst
others,
because
they're
all
desperate
to
give
the
support
to
our
young
who
desperately
need
it,
but
they
don't
get
the
support
from
us.
Thank
you.
P
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
bringing
this
motion
much
like
the
previous
motion.
A
wholeheartedly
support
Spirit
the
motion.
However,
unlike
the
previous
motion,
I,
very
much
believe
this
is
in
our
purview
and
as
an
area
where
there's
an
authority,
we
are
empowered
to
make
a
positive
change.
The
cost
of
life
living
crisis
means
many
families
here
in
the
UK
struggle
to
eat.
Third,
poverty
is
a
real
challenge
in
our
country
and
we
need
to
do
something
about
it.
P
I
I
can't
stand
here
and
give
you
the
answer
on
how
we
address
this.
Poverty
crosses
political
and
societal
lines.
However,
I'm
happy
to
stand
here
in
support
of
this
motion
look
forward
to
cross-party
approach
to
come
up
with
an
answer.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
very
much
Council
Harvey
for
a
summer.
Thank.
A
You
Mr
Mayor
and
can
I
thank
everybody
for
the
collaborative
approach
and
the
comments
that
even
passed
in
the
debate
this
evening.
I
think
that's
a
reflection
on
us
in
this
chamber
on
how
seriously
we
do
take
this
issue
and
I
welcome
that
I
when
I
got
involved
in
politics
just
over
30
years
ago.
One
of
the
big
issues
then
was
child
poverty,
massive
issue
and
It
just
strikes
you
how
here
we
are
stood
now
saying:
5
000
children
in
our
Borough
are
in
homes
and
households
living
in
poverty.
A
The
figure
alone
is
scary
enough,
but
think
about
the
context
in
which
that
sense
think
about
the
examples.
The
experiences
that
those
families
and
those
children
are
going
through,
the
way
that
will
affect
their
lives,
the
way
that
will
change
their
lives,
the
life
chances
they
will
not
get
because
of
their
experiences.
You've
all
said
it
this
evening
in
terms
of
the
debate
and
the
experiences
that
we're
sharing.
It
isn't
for
those
people
in
cams
working
in
camps.
A
They
are
great
people,
but
they
haven't
got
the
resources
and
they
haven't
got
a
hope
in
Hell
of
coping
with
the
level
of
workload.
That's
coming
at
them
at
the
moment
in
time.
That's
the
reality
of
where
we're
at
at
this,
and
that
the
situation
is
that
people
in
our
Bora
are
getting
support
and
they
do
get
help
from
a
variety
of
sources.
A
Council
of
Vox
list
was
excellent,
but
it
still
doesn't
scratch
the
surface
of
really
what
we're
dealing
with
the
endemic
issue
of
child
poverty
is
there
and
it
is
really
hurting
so
many
families
and
households.
At
this
moment,
our
23
community
centers
really
could
be
those
islands
of
hope.
We
see
examples
of
it.
A
How
we
then
share
that
best
practice
around
the
borough,
how
we
can
get
those
Services
across
those
community
centers
throughout
our
borough
is
a
real
Challenge
and
something
we
should
take
on
one
of
the
very
best
things
that
was
done
many
years
ago.
The
every
child
matters
program.
The
every
child
matters
agenda-
was
something
that
made
a
genuine
difference.
I
will
forever
in
a
day-
and
this
is
political
points,
the
only
political
points.
I'll
make
when
the
children's
centers
were
shut
down
that
did
so
much
damage
to
those
people.
A
A
We'll
get
you
the
support
on
the
end
of
the
telephone,
rather
than
going
somewhere
with
a
program
that
brought
her
into
contact
with
other
mums
who
were
going
through
the
experience
she
was
going
through
and
the
change
was
that
honeycomb
Center
was
going
to
do
it
all
out
of
bookskin.
Don't
worry,
it'll
all
happen
out
of
there
inside
it.
A
That's
why
I
think
this
is
so
important
and
thank
you
for
your
collaborative
approach
to
this
this
evening
and
I
really
really
hope
that
we
can
all
seize
the
agenda
and
bring
that
figure
down.
I
do
not
want
to
see
5
000
children
living
in
poverty
I
want
that
to
stop.
There
I
need
to
come
down,
and
we
can
do
something
about
that.
Thank
you.
Mr
Mayor.
C
Members
I
sense
once
more
that
there's
agreement
across
the
chamber
are
we
agreed
on
this
motion.
Thank
you,
motions
carried
moved
and
Well
Done
by
the
way,
I
thought
that
last
motion
went
very
well.
C
Gender
item
number
14
questions
from
members
of
the
Council
on
notice.
There
are
nine
of
them.
If
people
would
like
to
read
all
the
words
well,
they
have
the
prerogative
I.
Would
please
I
think
we
can
all
read
and
question
number
one
from
counselor
jeans
to
the
cabinet
member
for
resident
services.
Z
You
can
all
read.
The
importance
of
this
question
is
that
many
of
our
residents
are
incredibly
concerned
about
this
move
to
digitization
from
Hampshire
County
Council,
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
support
our
residents
and
make
sure
that
they
can
receive
the
visitors
that
they
require
to
their
homes
to
take
care
of
their
caring
needs
Etc.
So
if,
if
we
could
really
push
Hampshire
County
Council
to
address
what's
lacking
in
the
new
policy,
that'd
be
great.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
Thank
you
and
thank
you,
Council
jeans,
for
bringing
this
question
forward
this
evening.
Hampshire's
parking
team
are
aware
that
there
will
be
vulnerable
customers
in
all
areas
of
the
county
and
to
assist
with
this
situation
are
introducing
carers
permits
for
both
professional
carers
and
family
members
or
relatives,
which
will
be
free
of
charge.
They
can
request
these
via
my
permit
system,
which
can
then
be
managed
on
behalf
of
the
resident.
There
is
no
limit
on
these
per
properties.
I
So,
if
a
resident
has
six
carers
a
day,
for
example,
each
carer
will
be
able
to
request
a
permit.
This
should
go
live
on
Hampshire's
website
from
the
1st
of
April,
in
recognition
of
the
fact
that
not
all
residents
are
able
to
use
the
Internet
or
telephone
services.
Hampshire
can
issue
paper
paper
permits
in
circum
circumstances
where
they
are
really
needed.
I
I
would
welcome
any
feedback,
counselor
jeans
or
other
counselors
have
from
residents
as
the
updated
scheme
is
rolled
out,
and
if
residents
experience
issues
and
concerns,
we
can,
in
the
future,
consider
adding
a
review
of
on-street
parking
to
an
appropriate
committee
inviting
Hampshire
to
explain
how
the
services
operating
after
first
year.
Thank
you.
L
Thanks
Mr
Mayor
I
am
going
to
read
it
at
the
thousands
of
viewers
of
ours
on
YouTube
I,
appreciate
it
considerable
efforts
and
inputs
of
numerous
volunteers.
Our
residents
across
the
borough
have
contributed
to
the
creation,
examination
and
Adoption
of
neighbor
Appliance
and
communities
across
our
Borough.
These
volunteers
have
given
thousands
of
hours
to
the
scale,
complexity
and
time
needed
to
produce
these
specific
neighborhood
plans.
L
These
communities
were
told
that
neighborhood
plans
would
enable
them
to
determine
how
many
homes
could
be
built
and
where
they
could
be
sighted
within
their
Villages
and
towns
yeah.
Well.
My
question
is:
why
are
we
as
the
local
plan
and
Authority,
allowing
developers
to
override
the
wishes
of
our
residents
who
have
compiled
these
neighborhood
plans?.
C
R
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
Thank
you,
councilor
Phillip
for
the
question
the
council
strongly
Advocates
neighborhood
planning
and
has
actively
supported
the
making
of
16
Plants
in
the
border
to
date.
So
these
are
an
important
part
of
the
planning
framework
determining
the
planning
application
and
have
enabled
communities
to
help
shape
their
the
locality
in
their
areas.
So
I
commend
all
the
work
done
by
the
parish
councils
and
Community
groups
to
do
this
neighborhood
plans
and
update
them
on
a
regular
basis.
R
As
counselors
aware,
the
borrow
currently
lacks
a
five-year
land
supply
of
deliverable
housing
sites
and
the
national
planning
guidance
explicitly
sets
out
that
when
this
is
the
case,
the
policies
relating
to
housing,
delivery
in
local
delivery
in
local
and
neighborhood
plants
are
considered
out
of
date.
So
the
planning
Authority
must
therefore
determine
planning
applications
in
line
with
national
guidance
and
the
title
balance.
So
this
effectively
means
that
schemes
should
be
permitted
unless
the
adverse
impact
outweigh
the
the
benefits
but
non-housing
delivery.
R
Related
policies
in
neighborhood
plants
continue
to
be
used
in
the
determination
of
planning
and
applications,
and
the
plans
continue
to
have
a
planning
way.
So
the
council
is
working
proactively
with
the
development
industry
to
deliver
suitable
sites
which
will
help
towards
restoring
the
land
Supply
position.
The
adopted
local
plan
is
also
being
updated
to
develop
a
robot
strategy
for
meeting
housing
needs
into
the
future.
So
support
continues
to
be
given
to
the
communities
wishing
to
develop
new
plans
and
also
those
reviewing
and
updating
existing
plans.
P
R
Up-To-Date
plans
in
the
borough
which
meet
their
indicative
housing
needs
already
benefit
from
two
years
of
protection
from
the
land.
Supply
position
and
government
is
currently
considering
extending
this
to
five
years
protection.
So.
R
L
Yes,
Mr
Mayor
I
have
nearly
every
board
in
our
Borough
whether
rural
or
Urban,
from
Bishops
Greenwell
Basin
from
clintstone
to
kingsclair
have
suffered
or
under
threat
from
unplanned
speculative
development
caused
by
this
conservative
administration's
abysmal
failure
to
achieve
a
five-year
land
Supply.
Can
the
cabinet
member,
please
inform
the
council
when
we
will
achieve
a
five-year
land
Supply.
R
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
as
I've
just
answered
the
question
earlier.
The
council
has
been
working
to
bring
the
five-year
land
Supply
to
date,
and
we
have
just
been
informed
that
our
foggy
land
Supply
is
up
to
4.7,
so
we
will
be
working
to
make
sure
that
we
get
to
the
point
where
this
one
with
the
speculative
applications
won't
be
an
issue
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
Thank.

A
list
of
areas
that
are
currently
managed
for
biodiversity
Improvement
is
available
on
the
council's
website
at
the
ecological
emergency
web
page,
and
this
does
confirm
that
there
is
a
Biz
in
every
Ward
and
work
is
ongoing
to
help
grow,
that
and
the
diversity
of
Wildlife
and
plants
and
every
Ward
across
the
borough.
The
council
has
taken
active
steps
to
manage,
but
protect,
enhance
and
restore
nature
across
the
borough
in
a
number
of
ways,
in
line
with
its
green
infrastructure
strategy.
N
This
includes
policy
settings
in
the
local
plan,
agreeing
the
ecological
enhancements
as
part
of
plan
and
permission.
Looking
after
areas
of
Green
Space,
Management
plans
and
working
with
partners
and
volunteers,
we
have
the
council's
Rangers
who
work
alongside
Community
groups
and
volunteers,
to
improve
and
enhance
the
diversity
of
plants
and
animals
on
over
300
hectares
of
natural
Green
Space.
Additional
resources
have
been
amazed
that
have
been
made
available
to
this
team
in
the
coming
year
to
enhance
this
service
and
support
a
great
number
of
conservation
groups
and
volunteers.
N
Our
natural
environment
team
also
plays
a
vital
role,
supporting
the
delivery
of
biodiversity
enhancements
and
managing
habitats
across
the
borough,
including
over
80
000
trees,
when
ensuring
ecological
biodiversity
are
taken
into
account
in
decision
making
in
all
Council
departments.
The
new
council
plan
includes
a
commitment
to
develop
a
new
biodiversity
strategy
this
year,
which
will
set
out
how
we
will
seek
to
protect
and
enhance
biodiversity
across
the
borough.
N
Council
teams
work
closely
with
volunteers
throughout
conservation
groups
such
as
natural
Basin
Stoke,
as
well
as
partners,
including
the
Hampshire
and
Isle
of
Wight
Wildlife
trust
through
its
Wilder
Basin
steak
and
Dean
scheme.
We
have
reviewed
many
of
the
many
of
the
boa
maintained
parks
and
we
are
open
to
explore
opportunities
to
further
enhance
biodiversity,
where
there
is
the
potential
to
do
so
taken
into
consideration.
The
value
of
the
potential
gain
maintenance,
access
and
impact
on
the
site's
others
functions
such
as
sports
event,
space
or
other
recreational
uses.
C
AA
You
Mr
Mayor
I'm,
getting
to
him
from
town
and
around
the
borough
is
very
important
to
our
residents.
The
barrier
is
constantly
growing
a
population
due
to
factors
such
as
house
building.
Unfortunately,
our
transport
network
has
a
lot
of
catching
up
to
do
and
many
residents
who
don't
drive
or
rely
on
buses
and
taxis.
AA
It's
come
to
my
and
several
colleagues
attention
that
the
private
hire
companies
are
delivering
a
low
quality
service.
That
is
unacceptable.
Examples
include
a
resident
who
had
to
ask
their
neighbor
to
enjoy
them
to
Southampton
hospital,
so
they
did
not
miss
their
cancer
treatment
appointment.
The
book
car
failed
to
turn
up.
AA
AA
R
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
Thank
you,
Council
Edwards
for
the
question.
I
sympathize,
the
residents
who
has
been
experiencing
these
delays
and
unable
to
book
or
cancellation
from
our
local
taxi
company.
So
I
am
aware
of
the
issues
this
is.
This
is
not
just
for
the
China
Ward,
but
the
the
pretty
much
all
around
the
borough,
including
the
ward
that
I
represent.
R
So
the
licensing
authorities,
not
just
us.
The
all
around
the
country
has
seen
this
issue
postcode
in
terms
of
declining
number
of
drivers.
So
as
a
Bora,
we've
had
315
licensed
drivers,
the
post
of
a
pre-covet
and
it
dropped
drastically,
and
now
we
have
been
steadied
and
we
have
around
sort
of
285
licensed
driver
drivers,
but
the
licensing
licensing
teams
are
currently
processing,
55,
new
Drive
applications
and
there.
R
Therefore,
we
anticipate
that
the
overall
number
of
licensed
drivers
will
increase
above
pre-pandemic
level,
which
should
lead
to
a
noticeable
Improvement
in
the
level
of
service.
Our
licensing
teams
have
been
working
closely
with
the
local
private
hire
operator
to
address
issues
like
driver
shortages.
Next
month
on
17th
April.
The
licensing
committee
will
be
considering
changes
to
the
current
licensing
policy,
which
intended
to
make
it
easier
for
private
hired
drivers
to
obtain
license.
The
licensing
teams
have
also
revised
all
the
application
paperwork
to
simplify
and
clarify
the
process
for
new
applications.
R
So
last
year,
when,
when
I
went
out
to
call
this
portfolio,
I
have
had
these
conversations
with
the
heads
of
service
and
they
have
done
a
bit
of
a
work
around
it
to
find
out.
If
there
is
any
app-based
operators
interested
in
coming
to
the
borough.
But
we've
been
told
that
the
Uber
are
no
longer
keen
on
establishing
new
operating
bases.
They
are
only
sort
of
a
version
of
operating
in
New.
Towns
is
to
sort
of
collaborate
with
another
company
and
operate
locally.
So
they
have.
R
If
you
could
wind
up
please
as
an
option
so
asabor
or
I,
think
we
should
do
everything
to
make
sure
that
we
do
ensure
that
connectivity
and
accessibility
for
our
residents
is
assured.
So
I
will
be
asking
the
officers
not
just
the
solving
the
the
driver
shortage
but
the,
but
we
approach
all
the
app-based
operators
to
Welcome
to
the
borrow
and,
if
there's
a
way
to
find
out
if
they
can
operate
to
address
this
issue.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
supplementary
conservance,
no.
H
Right,
thank
you.
Mr
Mayor
I'll.
Just
do
really
just
emphasize
the
seriousness
of
this
question
this
matter.
Hence
the
very
long
question
so
you'll
be
pleased
to
know
question
as
per
the
order
paper.
F
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
Mayor
I
have
a
technical
answer
to
read,
because
it's
a
planning
matter,
but
actually
fundamentally
I,
think
councilor
dominance
asks
me
a
much
more
in
principle.
Question
that
says
am
I
concerned.
I
think
we
should
all
be
concerned.
Frankly,
we
have
all
sorts
of
Technologies
coming
down
the
track
for
up
to
supposedly
help
us
all
be
more
environmentally
friendly
and
make
sure
we
do
the
right
thing
for
the
planet
and
fun.
F
And
fundamentally,
this
issue
shows
us
that
legislation
has
to
keep
up
technology
moves
really
quickly
and
something
that
could
be
sold
to
us
as
an
enormous
benefit
can
have
some
enormous
unintended
consequences
which
lots
of
people
will
be
looking
for
us
to
protect
them
from
the
legislation.
Doesn't
allow
us
to
do
that
so
do
I
share
Council
autonomous
concerns.
F
Absolutely
it's
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
sent
a
letter
to
the
Secretary
of
State
for
leveling
up
housing
and
communities
and
the
Secretary
of
State
for
the
environment,
food
and
Rural
Affairs
back
in
December
to
support
the
bill
to
put
the
legislative
legislation
in
place
to
make
sure
that
we
did
consult
on
these
planning
applications
for
the
planning
applications
that
are
mentioned.
F
Of
course,
we
do
have
legislation
that
we
have
to
follow
today,
so
it
it's
very
important
that
we
determine
those
planning
applications
in
accordance
with
the
development
plan,
unless
there
are
material,
considerable
considerations
that
indicate
otherwise,
of
course,
I
think
we
should
all
be
aware
of
these
three
sites
that
are
mentioned.
One
was
refused
by
development
control
committee.
The
decision
to
refuse
was
then
appealed
by
the
applicant
and
the
planning
inspectorate
allowed
the
appeal.
We
all
know
how
frustrating
that
can
be,
particularly
if
we
have
significant
concerns.
H
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
Well,
the
supplementary
is
really
would
this
Council.
Would
the
leaders
sanction
us
working
with
Hampshire
fabric
Hampshire
and
the
Isle
of
Wight
Barbara
gay,
given
the
comments
that
they
are
making
it's
a
specific
issue
about
how
we
could
control
some
construction
standards,
not
about
its
bad
news.
We've
had
these
put
through
planning
it's
about
our
ability
just
to
make
things
right
to
avoid
what
could
be
a
potentially
disastrous
environmental
impact.
H
F
Thank
you
very
much,
I
think
fundamentally,
I
think
we'll
need
to
take
some
technical
advice
about
what
the
art
of
the
possible
is.
As
far
as
those
plans,
I'm
sure
everybody,
if
you
haven't
read
it,
you
should
read
it
the
letter
from
Neil
Odin,
the
Chief
Fire
officer
is
truly
scary.
As
far
as
the
choices
should
there
be
a
fire
at
one
of
these
installations,
the
choices
that
fire
service
has.
It
should
worry
us
all.
So
absolutely,
let's
look
at
the
technical
details.
O
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
was
rented
on
the
paper,
but,
in
addition,
could
I
point
out
that
if
the
documents
aren't
available
on
the
public
website,
the
Town
Council
of
which
I'm
a
member
as
a
planning
consultee,
can't
actually
see
what
the
documentation
is
about,
though
it's
important
that
this
is
live
and
available
to
the
public
and
to
other
people
that
require
it
and
otherwise
I'd
be
appreciate.
The
the
answer
to
the
question.
Thank
you
later.
F
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
Mayor.
There
are
several
processes
involved
in
publishing
documents
within
the
online
planning
system.
The
it
solution
manages
this
under
the
direction
of
the
planning
team.
The
planning
team
need
to
ensure
that
all
necessary
steps
for
the
documents
have
been
adhered
to
before
it
can
finally
be
made
available,
including
redacting
the
documents
for
any
sensitive
information.
The
IT
service
have
informed
me
that
there
was
a
recent
issue
with
a
number
of
laptops
within
the
organization,
including
several
staff
in
the
planning
team.
F
This
impacted
their
ability
to
process
the
document
within
the
planning
system
as
quickly
as
they
normally
would
and
is
likely
the
cause
of
delays
and
documents
being
made
available
in
a
timely
matter
manner.
The
IT
service
has
also
tested
the
download
function
and
is
working
as
expected,
and
they
believe
that
this
incident
may
have
been
related
to
a
single
computer.
Not
a
system-wide
incident
I've
been
assured
that
the
issues
relating
to
the
council
laptops
was
a
one-off
and
the
all-impact
laptops
were
operational
within
one
week
with
many
operational
within
a
few
days.
F
The
I-team
are
not
aware
of
any
planning
team
that
has
long-standing
I.T
issues
of
the
nature
described
in
the
question.
However,
they
will
be
investigating
this
further
with
the
planning
team
in
the
coming
days.
They
will
also
look
to
provide
them
with
the
alternative
means
to
access
information.
Should
there
be
any
long
delays
in
the
future
for
staff
I've
also
been
informed
that
staff
can
access
emails
through
the
Webmail
Webmail.
If
everything
else
fails,.
O
I'm
afraid
I
have
a
copy
of
the
email
that
was
sent
to
a
resident
which
actually
contradicts
some
of
that
that,
in
fact,
they
said
that
she'd
been
operating
with
limited
access
onto
the
server
for
a
few
weeks
and
for
now
for
getting
the
opportunity
to
respond
to
a
member
of
the
public.
Who
was
waiting
for
a
response
to
an
application
and
can
I
also
ask
a
question.
I
believe
at
scrutiny
on
Tuesday,
and
there
was
a
sign
of
a
ways
of
working
and
I.
O
N
You
Mr
Mayor,
these
water
fountains
were
installed
over
20
years
ago
to
provide
a
Gateway
into
phase
and
View,
and
the
Town
Center.
The
water
feature
was
switched
on
in
the
spring
and
summer
months,
but
has
been
switched
off
since
2019..
Initially,
this
was
in
line
with
covert
restrictions,
but
this
was
followed
by
issues
including
the
corrosion
of
the
equipment
in
the
park,
room
that
powers,
The
Fountains
and
the
difficulty
of
source
and
replacement
parts.
Given
the
age
of
these
as
I'm
sure
you
are
aware,
The
Fountains
were
designed
to
provide
a
decorative
feature.
N
Only
we
have
two
water
play.
Facilities
for
families
to
enjoy.
One
is
just
a
short
walkway
in
East
York
Park,
where
there
is
a
paddling
pool
which
is
open
in
the
spring
and
summer
months
for
families
to
use
and
a
splash
pad
is
also
available
at
chinon
Park
in
potley.
During
this
time,
a
recent
inspection
has
confirmed
the
significant
amount
of
work
and
costs
that
would
be
involved
in
repairing
and
replacing
these
fountains
as
they
have
reached
the
end
of
their
usable
life.
We
have
therefore
taken
the
decision.
N
It
is
not
cost
effective
to
repair
or
replace
them
is
therefore
provides
us
with
an
opportunity
to
look
at
how
this
area
could
contribute
to
the
Improvement
of
the
environment
in
the
Town
Center
in
the
future,
while
also
supporting
the
council's
climate
change.
Emergency
pledge
is
better
through
our
project
to
create
an
enhanced
green
route
through
parks
and
Open
Spaces.
We
are
exploring
opportunities
to
improve
the
facilities
at
East,
York
Park,
which
includes
water,
play
facilities.
C
AB
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
downhill,
sleep
I'm,
still
going
to
read
it,
but
I'll.
Try
and
pricey
Beijing
fan
battery
planning
application
has
been
fought
with
controversy,
rightly
given
that
nationally,
with
only
100
battery
plants
operating
within
the
UK,
we
have
already
had
a
major
fire
and
there
are
over
three
more
300
more
plants
in
the
pipeline,
four
of
which
are
within
a
few
miles
of
here.
Pre-App
were
approved.
AB
This
is
a
new
technology
that
regulatory
legislation
has
yet
to
catch
up
with.
In
my
view,
it
has
all
the
potential
to
be
the
next
cladding
scandal.
Our
five
Chief
Neil
Odin
says.
Whilst
we
recognize
the
positive
contribution
that
these
types
of
installations
complain
providing
solutions
to
cleaner
energy,
we
remain
concerned
about
the
impact
of
the
chosen
locations
that
could
have
such
a
detrimental
effect
on
the
local
environment
and
important
infrastructure.
AB
AB
A
day
before
the
planning
planning
expired.
A
variation
was
sent
to
council
seeking
numerous
changes.
We
mentioned
that
the
legislation
is
not
caught
up,
but
we
have
discretion
as
a
local
authority
to
decide
on
what
is
a
minor
Amendment
and
what
requires
a
full
new
planning
application.
This
case
has
11
new
documents
detailing
changes.
In
particular,
it
changes
the
footprint
and
area
of
the
red
line
of
the
site.
How
many
more
aspects
does
this
application
need
to
change
before
being
classified
as
a
new
planning
application?
AB
AB
Two
will
the
leader
and
portfolio
holder
personally
review
this
application
and,
finally,
three:
how
are
we
going
to
demonstrate
that
this
council
is
not
legally
and
morally
negligent
when
faced
with
an
environmental
catastrophe
and
danger
to
hospital
patients
to
Residents
and
our
environment?
Thank
you.
C
F
You
there
you
do.
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
Mayor
before
I
respond
as
I
think
it
will
be
technical,
I'm.
Afraid
I
would
just
like
to
put
on
record
my
thanks
to
councilor
tough
who's.
Her
passion
and
commitment
to
this
subject
doesn't
go
amiss
in
certainly
in
my
inbox.
As
far
as
emails
and
the
conversations
that
we
have
as
set
out
in
my
answer
in
the
earlier
question,
I
am,
of
course,
aware
of
the
work
that
Payson
took

Council
attack
has
had
been
doing
lots
of
work
behind
the
scenes
with
de
Maria
and
for
the
granting
of
environmental
permits.
It
is
not
currently
a
statutory
requirement
to
do
so,
but
in
the
meantime,
as
a
matter
of
practice,
this
Council
does
consult
Hampshire,
Fire
and
Rescue
Services
on
all
such
applications.
F
In
relation
to
the
basing
fan
site,
in
particular,
the
matter
regarding
implementation
of
the
original
planning,
permission
is
subject
to
a
current
enforcement
investigation,
which
has
yet
to
be
completed
with
regards
to
the
amended
application
of
the
Beijing
fence
site.
The
scale
and
nature
of
the
application
is
such
that
it
can
be
considered
as
an
amendment
to
the
original
Planning
Commission,
but
the
process
for
the
application
in
relation
to
consultation,
notification
of
residents
and
ultimately
decision
making
is
the
same
as
if
the
application
had
been
made
in
full.
C
AA
You
parents
across
Basingstoke
have
been
disappointed
and
left
stressed
and
anxious
anxious,
since
they
received
confirmation
of
where
their
child
has
been
allocated
a
place
of
secondary
in
school
in
May
in
September.
Sorry,
myself,
councilor,
Miller
and
councilor
Volks
have
received
many
emails,
highlighting
the
issues
parents
and
children
will
face
in
September.
AA
Internet
four-lane
school
have
had
a
temporary
heart
in
their
ground
since
2019,
and
this
will
be
removed
later
this
year.
Why
is
it
there?
It
is
because
there
is
a
huge
Bowl
here
due
to
an
above
average
birth
rate
in
2011
and
2012..
Therefore,
Hampshire
County
Council
new
additional
places
for
secondary
intake
for
2023
would
be
needed.
They
have
failed.
They
have
clearly
failed
to
make
a
provision
for
this.
The
result
is
children
from
chinam
and
Sheffield.
AA
Park
are
going
to
have
to
travel
to
oldworth
school
and
even
further
to
the
clear
which
is
18
miles
away.
Get
into
old
work
would
mean
catching
two
buses
to
complete
the
6.5
mile
Journey,
which
will
take
over
an
hour.
The

has
advised

he
offers
no
after-school
clubs
as
many
students
get
to
school
to
and
from
on
the
bus
as
they
live
so
far
away.
AA
This
will
deprive
our
young
residents
of
opportunities
that
closer
to
home
schools
offer
the
recent
creation
of
new
places
in
Brighton
Hill
Community
School
has
brought
some
positive
change
to
parents,
but
does
not
go
far
enough.
Hampshire
County
Council
are
asking
parents
to
just
follow
the
appeals
process
which
fails
to
address
the
root
cause
of
the
problem.
AA
Can
I,
therefore
ask
the
leader
of
the
council
to
urgently
request
Hampshire
County
council
with
this
year's
Admissions
and
make
the
necessary
changes?
This
could
include
providing
an
appropriate
transport
where
required,
such
as
a
bus,
a
school
bus
from
China
and
Sheffield
Park
to
oldworth.
Thank
you.
F
Council,
thank
you
very
much.
Mr
Mayor
for
your
information
I
have
contacted
the
relevant
officers
at
HCC
regarding
the
position
and
I'm
awaiting
a
response
on
the
status
of
any
reply.
I'm
sure
my
request
has
been
welcomed
by
the
officers
because,
of
course
it
was,
it
was
school
places
that
initially
got
me
into
local
politics.
Personally,
myself,
so
I
have
a
long
and
colorful
history
with
the
officers
when
it
comes
to
strategic
Place
planning
at
the
County
Council
I
will,
of
course,
Council
repres.
Let
you
know
as
soon
as
I
have
an
update.
F
Hampshire
County
Council
are
already
reviewing
the
position
with
schools
and
additional
provision
since
the
the
day
of
the
offer.
I
would
also
just
like
to
thank
because
it's
always
in
the
detail,
isn't
it
for
the
chinam
counselors
for
just
sharing
with
me
the
details
as
far
as
where
the
schools
are
how
far
children
and
parents
will
need
to
travel
and
how
difficult
those
Journeys
will
be.
AA
I
do
thank
you.
Well,
thank
you
leader.
In
the
coming
years,
it's
likely
hundreds
of
new
homes
will
be
built
in
the
east
of
Basingstoke.
We
have
no
local
secondary
school
and
the
catchment
schools
seem
to
be
unable
to
accommodate
for
the
population
as
it
is,
can
you
ask
for
Assurance
and
a
plan
from
Hampshire
County
Council
on
how
they
are
linking
their
projections
of
population
growth
with
the
boroughs
local
plan?
Thank
you.
F
You
very
much
I,
agree
and
and
want
to
suggest
a
meeting
with
Hampshire
Council
Council
to
address
this
issue.
We
spent
a
lot
of
time,
particularly
in
eph
talking
about
the
growth
of
Basingstoke
and
what
those
Growing
Pains
have
been
I.
Think
a
bulgier
shows
what
those
pains
are,
because
an
ordinary
bulgier
in
many
boroughs
wouldn't
be
quite
as
painful
unless
you
have
had
the
growth
that
we
have
had
in
the
past.
F
So
from
the
council's
perspective,
HCC
education
department
are
a
key
stakeholder
in
the
local
plan
process
and
have
been
involved
in
and
directly
fed
into
the
site
assessment
process
for
the
local
Plan
update,
which
considers
relevant
site-related
factors,
including
the
impact
of
development
and
any
infrastructure
constraints
and
any
required
mitigation.
This
looks
at
sites
both
individually
and
cumulatively.
Their
input
will
be
required
throughout
the
process.
As
the
strategy
develops,
any
required
infrastructure
will
be
reflected
in
a
local
plan
site
allocation
policies.
Will
that
be
an
exciting
read?
F
C
That
that's
how
you
get
called
forward,
no
right!
That
concludes
the
council
meeting
before
you
all
rush
off.
This
is
my
last
council
meeting
as
chairing
it
as
a
mayor
until
we
get
to
Mayor
making,
we've
all
got
to
rush
off
and
do
our
election
bet
for
the
next
six
or
seven
weeks.
C
All
I
want
to
do
is
thank
every
member
who's
been
in
this
Council
chamber
during
my
year,
one
or
two
needed
a
slight
bit
of
guidance.
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
I
would
also
like
to
thank
the
the
senior
leadership
team,
because
they've
helped
me
with
guidance
at
the
top
table
here
and
also
Democratic
Services,
who,
if
you
don't
know,
provide
an
awful
lot
of
support
behind
the
scenes.
So
it's
a
big
thank
you
for
me.
It's
a
bit
of
a
wet
night
out.
There
I
hope
it's
eased
off.
