A
Good
afternoon
and
welcome
to
btp
council's
arsenal
leader
sessions
used
to
be
called
facebook
live,
but
we're
now
across
all
of
our
all
of
our
platforms,
so
welcome
to
anybody
joining
us
on
facebook,
youtube,
linkedin,
twitter,
etc.
And
please
ask
your
please
ask
your
questions
as
we
go.
Today's
session
is
one
of
our
hour-long
sessions.
We've
been
trying
to
introduce
some
themed
sessions,
so
we
go
into
a
bit
more
detail
in
a
specific
area,
and
last
friday
we
published
what
we
expect
to
be.
A
We
hope
to
be,
and
the
budget
for
the
for
the
for
the
next
12
months,
starting
starting
from
april.
So
specific
questions
today
around
you
know
what
we're
proposing
in
the
budget
and
what
that's
ultimately
going
to
go
to
going
to
do.
I've
got
a
couple
of
people
with
me
today.
Later
I've
got
phil
broadhead
who's,
the
deputy
leader
of
the
council
and
adam
richins,
who
is
our
director
of
finance?
So
we
should
have
enough
people
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
like.
A
So
please
please
fire
away
before
we
do
that
and
what
I'm
going
to
do
is,
as
we
always
do,
is
do
a
quick
run
through
of
our
code
situation,
still
very
important
to
sort
of
update
people
on
that.
Every
every
couple
of
weeks
really
quite
good
news
in
in
the
last
in
the
last
two
weeks,
so
our
numbers
have
fallen
down
and
fallen
quite
significantly,
reflecting
the
national
picture.
A
So,
within
the
last
seven
day
period
they've
gone
down
about
30
percent,
so
we've
got
the
last
the
numbers
I
saw
we
around
about
790
people
per
100
thousand
and
that's
gone
down,
like
I
said
first
30
percent
at
the
previous
height
that
was
over
900
and
actually
back
over
a
year
ago,
and
it
had
been
as
much
as
1500
in
the
last
few
weeks
as
we
saw
the
omicron
variant
really
go
through.
A
So
that's
coming
down
rapidly
now
and
also
we've
had
about
a
similar
reduction
in
hospitalization,
so
hospitalization
now
is
down
at
65
compared
to
95.
We
had,
I
think,
last
time
I
shared
those
numbers.
Still,
you
know
massively
high
transmission.
So,
let's
you
know,
we
need
to
try
and
do
the
things
we
can
about
ventilation,
etcetera.
So
please,
you
know,
and
you
know
those
hand,
washing
etcetera.
A
So,
please,
you
know
the
main
thing
we
can
do
is
get
vaccinated
so
for
those
who
are
really
strong
over
90
of
people
first
and
second
doses,
a
huge
amount,
that's
gone
through
with
the
with
the
third
dose,
but
still
opportunity
to
get
that
number
higher.
So
whether
you
haven't
had
a
vaccine
yet
or
you're
looking
to
do
your
top
up
really
important
to
to
look
at
it
as
we
go
back
effectively
into
our
plan,
a
measures
with
plan
b
being
cancelled
in
in
the
next
week.
Okay,
great!
A
So
so,
thank
you
very
much
for
that.
What
I'll
do
now
is
I'll.
We've
got
a
few
slides
which
the
team
are
going
to
going
to
run
through
which
I'll
talk
to
talk
to
just
literally
just
a
couple
of
minutes
to
give
some
of
the
the
main
points
around
the
budget
proposals.
These
are
online.
A
The
full
budget
report
is
online
which
throughout
today,
we'll
be
putting
links
up
to
where
people
can
can
access
that
and
also
hopefully
in
in
the
chat
bar
chat
bar
as
well,
then
I'll
introduce
adam
and
er
and
and
phil,
and
then
we'll
you
know,
get
into
your
questions.
So
hopefully
we'll
have
enough
time
today.
So
if
we
could
get
to
get
to
the
next,
the
next
slide,
please.
So
as
a
as
a
very
you
know
overview.
We
are
this
budget.
A
We're
proposing,
puts
a
significant
amount
of
extra
investment
into
children's
services
and
our
adult
services.
So
it's
absolutely
designed
to
be
a
people's
budget
for
those
people
who
who
need
it.
We're
also
trying
to
make
sure
we're
investing
a
significant
amount
in
the
community
in
general
and-
and
you
know,
I
think
it's
it's
well
known-
that
the
budget
situation
in
local
government
is
is
tough.
You
know,
so.
We've
got
significant.
B
A
Costs
going
up
in
terms
of
children
and
children
and
adults,
but
we
need
to
support,
but
at
a
time
when
you
know
council
tax
raising
is
is
capped
and
his
position
of
this
administration.
Is
you
know
our
our
conservative
administration
that
we
don't
want
to
look
to
council
tax
to
fund
extra
services?
We
appreciate
there's
a
cost
of
living
challenge
at
the
moment,
high
inflation,
so
we're
trying
very
much
to
make
sure
it's
a
sustainable
future
both
for
the
council
and
also
for
for
the
public.
A
So
this
also
is
a
first
year
we're
looking
at
a
an
mtfp,
a
medium-term
financial
plan.
So
it's
our
budget
for
the
next
five
years
and
what
it
does
is
it
largely
gets
to
balance
in
that
five
year
period.
There's
still
some
challenges
ahead,
but
we've
come
from
a
situation
where
we've
had
significant
deficits
and
we're
now
closing
that
gap,
and
we
believe
that
over
the
course
of
the
next
five
year
period,
we
can
actually
continue
to
close
and
close
that
gap.
A
So
we
believe
what
we're
doing
is
a
bit
more
financially
resilient
for
the
future
as
well,
while
we're
not
losing
sight
of
the
fact
that
we're
trying
to
deliver
on
our
big
plan
of
creating
an
absolutely
world-class
city
region
across
bournemouth,
christchurch
and
paul
we've
got
everything
we
need,
and
you
know
all
the
ingredients.
So
let's
really
push
forward
and
make
sure
we're
investing
where
we
can.
Okay,
so
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
on
some
of
the
numbers
now,
so
we
go
to
the
next
slide.
A
Yeah
so
we've
I've
talked
about
this
at
a
high
level,
but
across
adults
and
children
that's
24
million
over
24
million
pounds
that
is
being
ring,
fenced
and
dedicated
to
vulnerable
children.
Our
education
system,
as
well,
as
you
know,
adults,
adults
in
need,
need
of
our
support.
A
One
of
the
things
we're
doing
you
know
outside
of
that
pure
you
know
now,
people
agenda,
we've,
we've
launching
a
20
million
pounds,
investment
in
a
green
futures
fund
aimed
at
tackling
climate
change
head-on
and
supporting
us
to
be
carbon
neutral
by
2030.
A
Bringing
forward
a
huge
investment
into
making
sure
we
are
actually
going
to
be
delivering
on
our
climate
emergency
that
we
as
a
council
have
accepted.
We
are
going
to
attend
ball
of
christchurch
and
paul
as
the
tenth
largest
council
in
the
country
we're
going
to
start
to
lead
nationally
in
terms
of
some
of
our
our
investment
in
in
in
the
green
infrastructure
as
well.
So
that's
20
million
pounds
purely
our
discretion
to
be
to
be
investing
in
in
in
the
climate,
and
you
know
we've
then
five
million
pounds
again.
A
You
know,
I
think
a
lot
of
people
have
seen
the
success
of
things
like
festival
coast
lives.
If
you
haven't
seen
that
please
look
out
for
it
coming
up
this
summer,
a
real
range
of
events
to
build
a
real
vibrant
place
and
putting
more
money
into
that
more
money
to
arts
and
culture.
We
talked
about
our
big
plan,
regeneration
opportunities.
There
says
further
investment
in
into
regeneration
really.
A
Crucially,
we've
also
talked
about
both
delivering
a
high
standard
of
cleanliness
and
and
safety,
so
cleaner,
greener,
safer
and
and
leveling
up
across
of
our
our
connotation
as
well.
So
we've
known
that
for
years,
christchurch
has
had
a
lack
of
investment
in
in
in
street
cleaning
when
it's
compared
to
other
parts
of
the
bcp
connotations
are
bought
from
paul,
so
we're
leveling
up
the
the
investment
in
christchurch
people
should
start
to
really
see
that
see.
A
A
Of
those
those
areas
because
we've
said
continually,
we
need
to
make
sure
people
can
be
absolutely
proud
of
their
town,
centers,
proud
of
where
they
live
and
there's
a
lot.
You
know,
we've
been
we've
done
a
lot,
a
lot
of
investment
in
over
the
last
18
months.
There's
a
huge
amount.
Further
to
go,
we
haven't
landed
where
we
need
to
be
on
that.
A
So
it's
an
extra
8.2
million
pounds
for
clean
and
green
and
safe
there's
summer
reading
readiness
and
also
we're
we're
launching
something
called
a
pothole
pothole
patrol
and
the
state
of
our
roads
aren't
good
enough
and
we
need
to
be
more
active
in
terms
of
how
we're
going
to
be
addressing
that.
So
in
all
of
that
pride
of
place
element-
and
we
saw
what
happened
on
the
beaches-
you
know
18
months
ago-
it
was
a
previous
administration.
We
put
a
significant
amount,
more
funding
and
delivered.
I
think
everybody
would
say
a
more
organized.
A
You
know,
summer
last
year
we
were
repeating
that
that
investment
going
forward
as
well.
So
please
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
literally
one
more
minute,
and
then
we
will
be
getting
getting
into
the
questions
but
wanted
to
do
this.
This
introduction
back
to
the
pride
message
we've
had
a
over
20
over
20
increase
in
people
contacting
us
since
pre-pandemic
since
november
19
is
a
figure
we've
used
it
for,
and
our
customer
services
capacity
hasn't
kept
up
with
that.
A
So
what
we're
addressing
that
we're
saying
as
we're
moving
towards
our
transformation
program
of
making
sure
anybody
can
contact
the
council
digitally
if
they
want
to,
but
those
to
create
more
space
for
those
who
want
to
still
phone
up
or
go
in
to
see
somebody,
and
while
we're
getting
to
that,
you
know,
through
our
investment
in
systems,
we're
putting
an
extra
million
and
a
half
pounds
in
over
the
next
year
in
terms
of
improving
the
customer
service
offer.
A
A
Yeah
and
how
and
and
this
I
think
this
is
really
an
interesting
point
here,
because
it's
you
know
how
we've
been
able
to
fund
this,
so
we
are-
and
I've
talked
in
this
slide
in
a
minute
about
you
know:
we've
not
wanted
to
fund
all
this
through
through
council
tax,
but
I've
come
on
to
that.
What
we've
managed
to
do
and
what
we've
looked
at
is
hopefully
again
it
to
be
quite
innovative.
A
So,
as
a
council,
we
own
a
huge
amount
of
some
land
buildings
assets,
you
know
effectively,
so
what
we've?
What
we
wanted
to
do
was
to
you
know,
make
use
of
those
more
commercially
rather
than
and
just
sell
off
assets.
A
So
we've
got
a
transformation
program
which
balances
our
budget
over
the
five
year
period,
but
and
it
will
ultimately
be
making
40
to
50
million
pounds
of
savings
every
year
continuing,
but
we
needed
to
fund
that
and
the
previous
administration
were
looking
to
fund
that
through
capital
receipts,
I.e,
selling
and
selling
our
assets.
We
don't
think.
I
don't
think
that
it's
right
for
councils
to
be
to
be
selling
our
assets.
We
need
to
be
accumulating
more
assets.
A
So
for
future
generations
can
at
the
very
least,
have
us
that
inherit
the
assets
we've
got,
we're
gonna
go
further
than
that.
So
what
we've
managed
to
do
is
to
look
at
our
assets
and
we
will
be
bringing
in
a
a
a
a
refinancing,
effective
capital
receipt
for
our
looking
at
our
beach
huts
effectively,
so
where
we
can
keep
ownership
of
those
within
the
council.
A
So
we're
going
to
sell
them
to
a
council,
a
company
100
owned
by
the
council
to
generate
a
54
million
pound
receipt,
which
will
then
invest
across
our
our
transformation
program
to
be
saving
in
the
region.
50
million
pounds
a
year
every
every
year,
so
we're
stopping
a
far
sale
of
our
council
assets
and
we're
just
using
and
financing
our
current
assets
differently
to
fund
to
fund
this
program,
and
then
I
think
we
go
onto
a
slide
about
council
tax.
A
Yes,
great,
thank
you!
So,
as
I've
said
before,
we
are
absolutely
committed
to
not
going
back
to
the
the
taxpayer
to
fund
our
investments
in
our
services.
What
we've
done
is
we've
looked
at
our
assets
to
bring
money
in.
I
have
54
million
pounds,
I've
just
talked
about
and
that
allows
us
to
put
counselors
up
as
significantly.
B
A
Than
other
authorities
across
the
country
are
doing
so
so
last
year
we
put
council
tax
up
by
an
average
of
one
point:
five
five
percent
and
we
harmonized
across
the
connervations
as
a
first
time
bomb
of
christchurch
and
paul
at
the
same
level
of
council
tax,
an
average
increase
of
1.55.
A
That
was
the
second
lowest
council
tax
rise
in
the
country.
So,
at
a
time
when
most
people
putting
council
tax
up
five
percent
or
four
point
nine
nine
percent-
we
put
it
at
one
point:
five:
five
percent
and
that
saved
seven
point
three
million
pounds
last
year
from
money
that
would
have
been
collected
from
from
from
residents
and
and
hasn't
been
so
there's
seven
point:
three
million
pounds
more
in
people's
pockets
because
of
that
decision
last
year.
A
We're
we're
doing
that
again
this
year
in
the
fact
that
what
we're
doing
we're
having
a
there's
two
parts
of
council
tax,
there's
the
main
main
core
council
tax,
which
we're
allowed
to
raise
by
1.99
we're
not
doing
that
this
year.
So
we're
delivering
a
council
tax
free.
So
zero
percent
rise
on
that
council
tax,
and
that
equates
to
four
point.
Four
million
and
then
the
second
part
is
the
adult
social
care
precept
which
will
be
which
will
be
going
up
at
least
four
percent.
A
So
look
out
on
your
accounts
tax
bills.
You
can
see
council
tax,
freeze,
adult
social
care,
presets
you'll
have
in
the
police
precept
and
then,
depending
on
where
you
are
in
the
congregation,
the
precept
you
pay
for
town
councils,
but
you
clearly
see
that
the
council
tax
element
has
has
been
frozen
so
collectively
over
two
years.
That
means
there's
an
extra
11.7
million
pounds
in
the
pockets
of
our
residents
than
other
other
comparative
places.
Nationally
who've
been
putting
council
attacks
up
for
maximum
they've,
been
allowed
to
okay.
A
A
As
I
said,
we've
got
adam
richards
who's,
our
director
of
finance,
who
is
here
as
when
we
need
him
and
has
has
the
statutory
responsibility
for
for
for
our
budget
as
well,
so
we'll
be
able
to
help
on
any
technical
questions
and
what
I
might
do
now
actually
phil.
Can
I
just
introduce
you
phil
broadhead's,
the
deputy
leader
of
the
council,
so
you
know
anything.
You
would
like
to
say
well
before
we
get
into
the
the
questions.
B
Well,
next
year,
I
think
we've
covered
most
of
the
points,
but
I
think
just
to
underline
you
know
you
mentioned
earlier
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
tough
year
for
a
lot
of
people.
We've
got
the
cost
of
living,
which
is
still
increasing
for
a
lot
of
people.
We've
got
the
energy
costs,
which
are
you
know,
kind
of
coming
out
of
nowhere
and
kind
of
looming
over
us.
B
So
we
believe
we
are
the
only
council,
one
of
the
only
councils,
certainly
of
our
size
in
the
country
that
will
be
delivering
that
council
tax
freeze
for
the
council
tax
base,
which,
as
you've
seen
is,
is
11
million
pounds
kept
in
people's
people's
pockets
over
the
last
two
years,
and
I
think
that's
a
really
positive
thing
that
we're
trying
to
do,
but
that
doesn't
mean
we're
not
investing
and
and
again
every
single
area
which
the
council
controls
we're
putting.
B
You
know
huge
amounts
more
money
into
25
million
pounds
into
our
most
vulnerable
children
than
adult
services.
We
put
a
few
extra
investments
into
things
that
we
thought
were
important
last
year,
which
is
about
five
million
pounds
and
because
we've
now
unlocked
the
budget
in
this
way,
we're
able
to
put
them
in
into
the
long
term.
So
all
of
those
extra
things
we
put
into
events
to
bounce
back
from
the
pandemic,
and
you
know
extra
money
onto
community
safety
officers.
B
We've
got
more
of
them
than
ever
before,
as
well
as
well
as
that
8.2
million
pounds
of
what
I
kind
of
think
of
as
our
above
and
beyond
fund
areas
where
you
know
we're
good
at,
but
we
want
to
be
absolutely
even
better
on
and
a
lot
of
that
is
going
to
go
down
to
making
sure
that
our
streets,
our
town
centers
in
particular,
are
as
clean
and
safe
as
possible,
so
eight
million
pounds
extra
going
into
them
as
well,
all
the
all
the
while
keeping
council
tax
frozen.
B
So
I
think
it's
a
you
know,
really
positive
message.
I
think
the
final
thing
you
know
there
is
a
bit
a
bit
of
chatter
about
you
know:
how
do
we
fund
this
and
what
choices
do
we
have
to
make
and
and
the
way
that
we
are
doing
it
by
by
looking
at
our
assets
and
trying
to
release
a
value,
I
think
is
absolutely
how
how
people
work
in
their
normal
lives.
B
If
you
want
to
upgrade
your
kitchen
or
you
know,
do
your
wiring
in
your
house,
you
don't
fund
that
by
selling
off
the
end
of
your
garden.
What
you
do
is
you
release
some
of
the
value
in
in
in
your
own
home,
as
a
kind
of
like
a
mortgage
is
exactly
what
we're
trying
to
do
with
the
estate.
B
We
own
hundreds
of
millions,
probably
billions
of
pounds
worth
of
assets
and
the
value
is
locked
in
there,
so
releasing
some
of
that
to
invest
in
now,
I
think,
is
a
really
good
way
of
actually
making
sure
that
we
are
able
to
deliver
that
transformation,
but
keep
money
in
people's
pockets
as
well.
So
we've
got
loads
of
time
today
to
answer
more
specific
questions
on
on
where,
where
we
are
investing
and
where
we're
putting
extra
money,
but
this
is
certainly
the
first
budget.
B
I
can
remember
where
we
are
not
only
freezing
that
core
council
tax,
but
investing
into
all
of
the
things
that
are
important
for
most
people.
A
Okay
phil.
Thank
you
very
much,
that's
great!
So
so,
let's,
let's,
let's
kick
into
some
of
those
questions
now,
thanks
for
the
ones
already
coming
in,
let's
go
to!
First
of
all,
actually
we
talked
about
it
a
bit
but
mandy
dryden
as
a
question
at
one
o'clock
today,
hopefully
there's
a
budget
to
smart
and
clean
up
form
of
town
center.
It's
it's
looking!
It's
looking
shabby
mandy!
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Absolutely
yes!
A
So
when
we
became
an
administration
first
of
october,
nearly
18
months
ago,
now
we
we,
we
had
a
private
place
agenda
at
our
100-day
plan,
so
we
immediately
put
some
money
into
into
into
our
town
centres
that
hasn't
gone
far
enough.
You
know
bluntly,
so
we're
raising
the
bar
again
with
that.
So
there's
specifically
three
million
pounds
going
into
aspects
under
our
clean
agreement
and
safer
over
three
million
pounds:
cleaning
a
safer
agenda.
That's
exactly
going
to
be
doing
things
like
street
cleaning.
A
It's
also
going
to
be
doing
things
like
there's
an
extra
10
this
year.
On
top
of
the
extra
six
of
last
year,
extra
community
safety
officers,
so
resources
we
can
have
to
patrol
and
work
in
town
centres
to
work
with
people
to
to
to
effectively
get
into
a
standard
that
we
can
all.
We
can
all
be
proud
of.
We
work
really
well
with
the
bids
of
business
improvement
districts
and
we
did
a
pilot
last
summer
in
paul
town
center.
A
It
was
the
first
pilot
we
did
and
now
we're
going
to
be
rolling
that
out
for
further.
So
it's
stuff
like
painting
street
furniture,
replacement
of
broken
furniture,
that
type
of
thing
as
well
as
on
and
on
top
of
all
of
the
stuff
we're
doing
around
more
street
cleaning
and
more
more
people
on
antisocial,
behavior,
more
greening
as
as
well
so
so
mandy
so
long
answer
there.
A
But
there's
a
lot
of
work
going
in
that
area,
and
we
agree
with
you
absolutely
categorically
agree
with
you
bournemouth
and
christchurch
and
paul
town,
centers
and
also
our
other
areas.
You
know,
you
know:
we've
got
19,
you
know
centers
effectively,
not
just
not
just
the
three
town
centres.
You.
A
Investment
and
that's
what
this
budget
that's
this
budget
does.
Okay,
let's
have
a
look
at
what
yeah.
So
we've
got
a
question
about.
You
know
listening
to
residents,
one
of
the
reasons
why
we're
doing
this
this
today.
Actually,
I
think
for
the
first
time,
is
to
really
you
know,
give
an
opportunity
to
hear
more
from
residents
as
well
on
the
budget.
So
so
thank
you
for
the
engagement
we
do.
Okay
got
a
question
about
you
know
for
four
percent
rise.
Isn't
isn't
zero
well
really?
A
Clearly
I
just
I
just
come
on
to
that.
So
so,
aydah
absolutely
so
so
there
is
a
adult
social
care
government
ask
us
to
fund
or
ask
adult
social
care
to
be
funded
through
something
called
an
adult
social
care
precept.
A
So
so
we
we're
just
effectively
collecting
that
money
on
behalf
of
government,
and
that
is
the
four
percent
that
stuart's
talking
about,
and
so,
but
what
in
our
core
council
tax
of
the
1.99,
we're
freezing
that
you'd
have
seen
from
the
slide,
which
talked
about
over
11
million
pounds
of
council
tax.
We
haven't
collected
in
the
two
years
so
last
year
and
what
we're
proposing
this
year.
So,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
we
are
pursuing
one
of
the
lowest
council
tax
rise
policies
in
the
country,
so
yeah.
A
Absolutely
I
hear
that
one
other,
but
you
know
it's
a
matter
of
fact
that
you
know
we
are
being
really
aggressive
and
not
letting
the
cost
go
to
council
taxpayers
worth
saying.
A
A
affordable
social
care
preset
will
get
us
in
the
region
of
8.4
million,
is
between
89
million.
It's
you
know
effectively,
so
that
will
be
raised
from
that
we're
putting
20
nearly
25
million
pounds
into
just
people's
services
alone,
so
over
12
million
pounds
into
adults,
adult
services
and
12
million
pounds
again
into
into
children's
services.
So
we
got
government.
We
raised
four
percent,
which
is
eight
million
pounds
on
the
government's
behalf,
we're
investing
nearly
25
million
so
and
that's
ring
fence
for
vulnerable
adults
and
children.
A
So
you
can
see
we're
not
putting
the
the
onus
on
the
council
tax
pair,
okay,.
A
So
justine
hefferin
117
had
a
question
there
and
then
I'll
go
back
up
to
up
to
up
to
the
top.
So
I
haven't
seen
that
question
but
phil.
Perhaps
if
you
could
have
a
look
at
that,
george
starting
that
fair
or
shall
yeah.
B
I
think
this
is
this
is
about
the
the
financing
which
you
know
clearly
drew
you're
you're
better
on
than
I
am,
but
it's
it's
all
about
how
we're
funding
the
the
transformation
program
and
one
of
the
the
ways
that
we're
doing
that
is
looking
at
our
beach
hot
estate
and
essentially
a
setting
of
a
company
which
would
be
fully
owned
by
the
council,
so
that
we
can
then
release
the
money
that
is
currently
in
the
beach
charts
in
order
to
be
able
to
fund
our
transformation
program,
but,
crucially,
not
have
to
send
sell
the
assets
so,
as
you've
said
earlier
on,
drew
if
we
want
to
invest
in
in
making
sure
that
our
council
is
a
fit
for
the
21st
century.
B
That
costs
money.
There's
two
ways
of
doing
that.
The
plan
that
we
inherited
was
to
sell
a
lot
of
the
council
owned
buildings.
We
were
really
committed
not
to
be
able
to
do
that
with
all
of
the
money
that
and
the
value
that
we've
got
in
our
assets.
This
is
a
really
neat
way
of
being
able
to
unlock
them
without
having
to
sell
them.
B
Now
this
this
doesn't
really
on
the
face
of
it
changed,
but
it
doesn't
change
the
ownership
of
these
because
we
will
still
be
owning
the
company
that
essentially
that
buys
them
and
again
what
it
doesn't
do
is
change
the
current
situation
with
the
beach
shots.
So
we
because
we
still
have
control
over
them.
You
know
the
beach
shots
is
one
example.
It
doesn't
mean
that
on
the
ground
you
know
the
the
rents
will
change.
We
will
make
all
of
those
decisions,
as
we
would
in
any
other
year.
B
So
really,
this
is
all
about
just
using
the
the
tools
available
to
us
to
make
sure
that
we
can
invest
in
the
future
without
affecting
services
and
crucially,
without
having
to
sell
off
all
the
family
silver,
which
I
think
is
really
really
important
to
most
people.
A
Just
to
just
to
clarify,
then,
so
you
know
we're
preparing
a
a
list
of
frequently
answered
questions
and
one
of
those
will
say
you
know,
there's
absolutely
no.
You
know
change
effectively
in
terms
of
pricing
structure
or
who's
able
to
get
more,
not
at
this
stage
effectively,
and
it's
still
ultimately
going
to
be
the
council
in
control
of
that
company.
So
again,
again,
no
change
there
I'll
go
to
a
question.
I've
already
answered
one
from
mandy
dryden,
but
I'll
touch
on
it
briefly.
A
Another
question
at
107
any
plans
for
tackling
the
homeless
situation
so
mandy.
That's.
We
answered
a
question
around
cleaning,
green
and
safer
and
town
centres,
an
extra
investment
in
in
there.
One
of
the
things
we've
also
done
is
there's
over
a
hundred
thousand
pounds
being
targeted
to
the
health
hub
effectively
for
and
that's
targeted
at
homeless
people
and
it's
the
first
of
its
kind
in
bournemouth
town
centre.
So
that's
a
place
where
we
get
and
we
just
literally
received
heads
of
terms
about
buying
that
asset
as
well.
A
So
so
we
wanted
to
create
a
place
in
the
town
centre
where
we
were
able
to
bring
all
of
the
agencies
together.
So
that's
our
housing
and
from
the
council,
it's
health
effectively
and
in
a
place
that
and
in
a
way
that
homeless
people
wanted
to
interact
with.
So
we've
been
committed,
anybody
who
is
homeless,
you
know
we're
aware
of
and
we
we
are
trying
desperately
to
place
into
accommodation
and
some
people,
don't
you
know,
want
to
engage
in
in
in
the
way
we
have
done
historically.
A
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
to
create
a
way
where
they
can
engage
differently
and
wrap
around
services
when
they
need
them
when
they're
able
we're
in
a
position
to
respond
to
them.
So
we
put
a
hundred
thousand
pounds
in
this
budget
into
into
fact
the
health
hub
and
we're
also
looking
at
buying
that
building
for
our
can't
disclose
for
some,
but
again
multiple
hundreds
of
thousands
of
pounds
of
investment.
So
there
is
significant.
A
A
Their
confidence
and
their
trust,
so
we
can,
we
can
help
them
as
well.
A
Let
me
let
me
have
a
look
now:
let's
see
where
else
we
go
and
by
more
means
phil
adam.
If,
if
there's
anything
you
want
to
our
coming
on
specifically,
please
please
do
okay
cctv,
so
rowena
ross
109..
So
thank
you
very
much
on
budgetbook
we
spent
on
up-to-date
cctv,
so
we
feel
safer,
absolutely
yeah
categorically.
I
don't
have
the
the
specific
detail
to
hand
but
as
part
of
our
investment
into
cleaning.
A
Done
two
things
on
cctv:
we've
enabled
much
more
cctv
and
investment
in
cctv,
but
then
the
really
important
p
is
then
putting
people
operatives
in
front
of
it.
So
it
can
be
responsive.
So
it's
not
just
a
recording.
It's
there
as
a
tool
for
us,
so
so
that
there
is
this
budget
absolutely
drives
down
and
delivers
on
what
you're,
what
you're
asking
for
there
for
ruiner
we'll
just
touch
on
you
know.
We've
also
got
a
significant
investment
in
our
summer
response.
A
One
of
the
things
that
worked
fantastically
well
last
year-
and
you
know
we
were
really
fortunate
in
our
partnership
with
other
agencies
to
be
able
to
put
in
was
our
what
it's
called
a
mac.
So
I
think
multi-agency
commands
center
effectively,
and
so
that
was
able
to
put
all
of
the
people
responding
in
the
same
room
cctv.
You
know
availability
as
well,
so
we
were
able
to
you
know.
A
Cross-Partner
agencies
respond
on
something
that
worked
really
well
on
the
summer
in
the
summer,
sponsor
one
we're
doing
that
again,
but
it's
also
giving
us
more
confidence
effectively.
We
can
see
the
benefit
of
investing
in
cctv
and
and
cctv
operatives.
So
hopefully
answer
your
question:
rowena
and
I'll
now
look
down
fine,
okay,.
A
Okay,
so
bridget
barnes
has
asked
the
question
in
terms
of
the
the
cycle
lanes.
I
think
it's
an
important
distinction
just
just
to
make
it
brilliant.
Thanks
for
your
comments,
we
obviously
got
quite
interesting
debate
across
the
connervation
on
on
cycle
lanes
needs
to
be
clear
that
the
our
transforming
cities
fund
program
is
a
100
million
pound
capital
program,
which
is
around
about
80
million
pounds
of
government
money
and
20
million
pounds
of
local
authority
money,
and
that
is
across
a
long
period
in
this
budget.
A
This
is
separate
to
that.
So
so
we
are
not
able
to
use
that
money
to
invest
in
in
in
services.
So
that's
money
given
to
us
by
government
to
invest
in
in
local
infrastructure
cycle
lanes,
so
it
cannot
be
used
for
any
other
purposes.
So
I
just
need
to
make
the
clear
decision
money
being
spent
on
on
cycle
lanes
is:
is
largely
national
money,
it's
capital
money,
it
can't
be
invested
in
in
in
services.
So
what
we're
talking
about
today
is
different
from
that.
A
Hopefully
there
was
an
explanation
in
that
that
was
that
was
helpful.
Okay,
I'm
gonna
have
a
look,
a
question
now
from
john
twitching
on
the
green
futures
fund
and
then
sorry,
I'm
holding
over
questions
phil.
So
if
there's
anything
else
you'd
like
to
coming
on,
please
please
do
please
do
come
in,
but
let
me
do
the
futures
fund.
B
A
Yeah,
so
so
john,
thank
you
very
much
for
that.
I
just
do
a
little
bit
in
terms
of
the
the
climate
investment
we
put
in
effectively.
So
again,
we've
been
in
administration
for
under
18
months
now,
but
what
we
inherited
was,
you
know,
really
quite
limited,
I
think,
that's
fair
to
say,
budget
in
terms
of
climate.
A
There
was
an
ambition
to
put,
I
believe,
240
000
pounds
in,
but
that
had
been
effectively
taken
out
because
of
the
the
the
50
million
funding
gap
and
the
other
administration
had,
and
until
that
was
resolved,
they
weren't
going
to
put
it
back
in
what
we
were
able
to
do
was
to
go
in
and
put
that
money
back
in
look
at
how
we
finance
the
council
differently,
we
put
an
extra
when
we
doubled
it
effectively.
A
So
in
we
put
forward
480
thousand
pounds,
that's
about
the
people
who
who
will
be
doing
this
work
will
be
leading
us
through
this
there's
no
point
having
people
telling
you
what
to
do
and
came
up
with
great
ideas
if
you
haven't
got
any
ability
to
effectively
fund
some
of
the
some
of
the
changes.
You
know
that
they
would
like
to
make
so
we
thought
it
was
fundamental
to
make
sure
if
we're
serious.
It
was
really
serious
about.
You
know,
climate
neutrality
and
you
know
trying
to
lead
the
country
on
on.
A
You
know
on
some
of
these
things.
Then
we
need
to
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
is,
and
we've
done
that.
So
you
know
we,
you
know
it's
about.
You
know
a
real
investment,
your
question,
more
specifically
john,
was
you
know
how
we
will.
You
know
you
know
prioritize
project
projects
and
we're
really
interested
in
in
in
here.
We
want
to
make
this
very
community-led
piece
of
work,
so
by
all
means
we
want
it.
A
We
want
ideas
and
suggestions
from
the
community
is
a
20
million
pound
fund
at
our
discretion
to
invest
in
its
capital
effectively.
So
it's
you
know
by
that.
That
means
stuff
you
can
kick
and
touch
and
see
rather
than
rather
than
people
time,
but
it's
20
million
pounds
available.
We've
got
a
art
like
I
said.
Our
enhanced
team
who
are
looking
to
you
know,
come
up
with
solutions
and
ideas
and
to
spend
that
money,
but
we
massively
want
to
engage
the
community
in
that
as
well.
A
So
anybody
with
any
ideas
we
can
make
a
difference
to
that
we
can
make
decisions,
decisions
quickly.
I
think
there's
anything
you
wanted
to
say
on
the
climate
situation
you
know
generally
or
or
that
money.
While
I
look
for
some
other
well.
B
Just
to
say
I
mean
you
know
we
lost
this
time.
Last
year
we
launched
our
our
futures
fund,
which
was
in
and
of
itself
really
innovative
at
the
time,
50
million
pounds
of
money.
That
was
our
money
to
be
able
to
spend
on
our
priorities
so
not
having
to
go
to
government
with
a
begging
bowl
not
having
to
make
sure
that
it
was
a
you
know,
purely
business
case-based
decision,
there's
a
lot
of
the
the
funding
things
that
the
council
have
to
do
and
that's
really
opened
up
some.
B
B
So
you
know
improving
our
streets,
we're
looking
at
proposals,
for
you
know
some
of
our
our
promenades
in
you
know
the
more
kind
of
coastal
locations
and
again
that
regeneration
agenda
that
we've
got
particularly
in
pool
to
making
sure
that
we
have
as
many
toilets
as
possible
and
a
really
great
public
realm
around
porky.
All
of
that
stuff
we've
been
able
to
do
a
20
million
pound
green
futures
fund
is
building
on
that,
but
actually
going
even
further
on
our
climate
agenda.
B
So
I
don't
know
any
other
council
in
the
country
that
is
committing.
You
know
20
million
pounds
to
taking
climate
change
really
seriously,
but
also
looking
at
things
that
are
actually
going
to
make
a
difference.
There's
a
bit
of
a
tendency
in
the
climate
agenda
to
go
for
token
or
more
kind
of
ideologically
driven
solutions.
What
we're
really
looking
for
are
things
that
we
can
invest
in
that
are
going
to
really
change.
The
situation
on
the
ground
are
going
to
cut
carbon
that
are
going
to
make
a
real
difference
to
climate
change.
B
So
you
know:
20
million
pounds
is
quite
a
lot
of
money
to
be
able
to
go
into
that.
As
you
said,
drew
we've
now
got
the
staff
in
place
to
be
able
to
facilitate
that
and,
as
drew
said,
if
you've
got
ideas
of
things
that
you
think
we
can
invest
in
to
help
protect
the
climate
in
the
long
term
by
all
means
feed
them
in
because
now
is
the
time
that
we
can
actually
get
stuff
done
in
the
climate
agenda.
Arena
brilliant.
A
Thanks
phil,
I'm
gonna
bring
on
one
other
question:
it's
it's
it's
about
boscom
and
boston,
regeneration
effectively.
The
question
from
gary
sherbourne
at
1
13.
more
about
specific
projects,
but
I
thought
it
might
be
an
opportunity.
There
might
be
something
in
that
to
answer,
but
let's
talk
about
some
of
the
regen,
I
know
we've
got
the
towns
fund
and
also
our
extra
regen
working
in
boston.
So
perhaps
we
could
just
just
talk
about
boston
regen
for
a
moment.
B
Yeah
so
I
mean
boscom's
another
area
of
kind
of
huge
extra
effort.
At
the
moment,
we've
been
really
fortunate
in
getting
you
know
over
20
million
pounds
from
government
as
part
of
the
the
town's
fund
deal
to
put
into
directly
into
boston.
B
We've
got
really
big
plans
there,
as
part
of
that
that
will
be
looking
at
replacing
the
sovereign
center
with
you
know,
a
completely
refurbished
new
kind
of
town
center
to
to
to
boscam
also
looking
at
how
the
boscom
high
street
connects
to
the
seafront
so
including
boston,
gardens,
including
you
know,
a
number
of
other
parks
that
we've
got
around
there,
because
regeneration
isn't
just
about
pretty
buildings.
Quite
often
it's
about
the
community
as
well.
B
One
of
the
other
really
innovative
things
that
we're
doing
is
looking
at
the
the
royal
arcade
in
boston,
which
is
absolutely
beautiful,
architectural
building.
Looking
at
trying
to
acquire
that,
you
know
completely
refurbishing
it,
but
already
we've
got
businesses
going
into
there.
Now
we've
got
our
new
kind
of
innovation
hub,
which
is
opening
up
shortly,
which
is
bringing
you
know,
really
kind
of
on
the
cost.
Digital
businesses,
because
boscom
is
already
a
digital
hub.
So,
yes,
you
know.
I
know
the
question
mentioned
eu
funds
in
the
past.
B
We've
now
had
a
lot
of
that
replaced
by
government
spending
and
we're
also
exploring
how
we
can
leverage
that
money
that
we're
getting
from
government
to
go
even
further.
So
you
know
huge
plans
for
boscom.
What
I
love
about
the
boston
towns
fund.
Is
it's
a
proper
community
effort?
The
town's
fund
project?
Has
you
know
everyone
from
jeff
mosten
from
the
afc
bournemouth
on
the
board,
but
community
representatives
shop
owners
all
coming
together
to
really
improve
boscom.
So
we've
got
that
huge
cast
in
cash
injection.
B
B
All
the
way
through
to
pokestown
station
you'll
have
seen
the
money
that
we've
just
agreed
at
the
last
full
council
into
a
huge
upgrade
of
pokestown
station
as
well,
including
new
lifts
to
make
it
accessible
after
you
know,
20
30
years,
so
an
area
of
huge
priority
and
again
the
extra
investment
we're
putting
in
this
budget
helps
us
to
underpin
to
actually
get
that
stuff
done
on
the
ground.
A
A
couple
of
couple
quick
questions,
I'll
I'll
just
answer
we're
not
just
looking
at
sort
of
positive
stuff.
A
It's
a
couple
of
people
have
said
you
know
we're
effectively
keep
talking
about
the
previous
administration
effectively,
and
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
fair
to
because
effectively,
you
know
we
did
come
in
at
a
time
still
right
in
the
middle
of
a
covered
pandemic,
but
we
looked
at
we've
completely
changed
the
funding
and
financing
of
the
council
and
we've
been
able
to
come
forward
and
say
it's
not
good
enough,
just
because
you're
in
a
time
of
crisis,
not
to
not
to
work
out
how
to
invest
in
people
and
invest
in
a
great
place
effectively.
A
So
you
know
there
is
a
real,
clear,
clear
choice.
We
had
a
completely
different
strategy
and
we
were
delivering
on
it.
So
we
can
prioritize.
You
know
things
like
children,
investment,
adults,
investment
at
clean
and
green
and
safe
we've
talked
about.
We
said
in
opposition
that
you
know
we
needed
to
bring
in
our
children
were
suffering
and
we
needed
to
bring
in
you
know
the
catch-up
fund
effectively
that
was
rejected
by
the
previous
administration.
We
immediately
did
it
effectively
so.
A
Done
differently,
a
lot
of
good
stuff
was
done
by
that
and
then
one
other
question
you
know,
and
I
just
where
was
it
it's
about
my
our
pay
effectively
so
lee
atkins
117,
the
leader
of
deputy
they're,
getting
paid
stupid
money
to
ignore
the
residents
well
done
well
lee
thanks
very
much
for
your
comment,
one,
I
think
very
much
we're
not
ignoring
residents,
but
also
I
just
you
know
what
I
get
paid
to
do.
This
right
is
effectively
it's
an
eighteen
thousand
pound
year
allowance.
A
It
was
thirty
thousand,
but
it
was,
but
I
gave
up
forty
percent
of
that
and
my
entire
cabinet
gave
up
an
extra
ten
percent
as
well,
so
so
so
lee.
Thank
you
just
to
just
to
give
some
clarity
to
that
got
a
question
a
bit
later,
on
from
claire
hutton,
122.,
really
really
important
question
about
children's
social
care
and
really
needs
more
money.
Families
being
left
with
with
little
support
children
with
disabilities,
leaving
in
other
teams.
That's
overstretched.
B
A
You
know
look,
we've
got
to
be
got
to
be,
you
know
straight,
so
we
put
in
a
significant
amount
of
money
last
year
into
children's
services
and
I've.
I've
got
my
number
and
I'll
deliver
it
in
a
minute,
but
effectively
over
two
years,
there's
over
20
million
pounds
which
is,
and
so
we've
moved
it
from
from.
I
believe
it
was
a
60
million
investment
to
over
80..
So
so
we
we've
massively
put
extra
investment
over
12
million
pounds
in
this
budget.
A
So
it's
money
it
hasn't
been
spent,
yet
it's
gonna
be
spent
next
year.
It's
what
we're
talking
about
so
the
largest
outside
of
the
20
million
pound
capital
green
fund
is
over
12
million
pounds
investing
in
our
children's
services
because
claire,
we
think
you're
right.
We
think
there
needs
to
be
further
investment.
We've
made
sure
that
children
is
absolutely
the
number
one
priority
of
his
of
his
council
and
we
are
going
to
effectively
some
a
huge
amount
of
good
work.
A
Is
it's
done
in
that
area,
but
we
need
to
support
the
teams
with
more.
A
More
for
the
first
time,
certainly
in
my
memory-
certainly
more
money
events
going
into
children's
services
as
a
rise
than
adults
effectively,
so
we're
putting
in
you
know
a
significant
amount
of
money
in
a
time
when
we're
trying
to
also
do
that
without
taking
money
from
from
council
taxpayers
to
to
do
that.
Okay,
let
me
just
have
a
look.
What
else
we
want
to
put
in
we've
got
a
john
twitching
at
112.;
sorry,
actually
alex
skecher
131,
let's,
let's,
let's
go
to
that
one!
I'm
sorry!
A
I've
just
found
a
number
effectively.
It
was
seven
and
a
half
million
pounds
of
investment
into
children's
services
last
year
and
it's
over
12
million
pounds
this
year
so
collectively
gets
to
a
20
million
pound
investment
over
over
two
years.
But
if
we
could
now
go
to
alex
skecher's
question
at
131,
please.
B
Particularly
around
the
budget,
but
it's
something
that's
quite
close
to
you
and
I
because
this
is
actually
in
our
in
our
ward,
and
this
is
potential
developments
coming
forward
for
a
private
hospital
on
highmore
farm
in
talbot
heath
and
asking
us
what
what
our
thoughts
are.
I
think
it's
fair
to
say
alex-
and
you
have
heard
me
on
talking
about
this
on
on
the
radio
this
morning.
B
This
is
a
proposal
that
hasn't
come
through
formally,
yet
we
heard
about
it
on
facebook
alongside
you,
it
is
in
an
area
that
has
already
been
identified
in
the
previous
pool
local
plan
for
development,
so
on
the
face
of
it,
development
there
has
been.
You
know
planned
for
some
time,
but
it's
only
just
coming
to
fruition.
What
that
could
be,
I
think,
needless
to
say,
I
won't
speak
for
drew
he
can
come
in,
but
we've
got
some
some
concerns
about
what
we've
seen.
You
know
particularly
the
extent
of
the
the
development.
B
I
think
there
are
plans
for
a
four-story
car
park
which,
in
this
very
delicate
location,
would
clearly
not
be
right.
It
is
worth
saying
this
isn't
about
tall
talbot
heath.
This
is
the
current
farm,
that's
already
there,
but
you
know
I
do
think
there
could
be
a
solution
and
what
we're
looking
at,
exploring
with
the
landowners
there
that
that
farm,
that
is
there
is,
is
kind
of
a
part
of
the
local
community
and
whether
there
was
a
way
to
to
look
at
trying
to
protect
that
in
the
future.
B
So
we
will
be
exploring
first
of
all,
if
those
proposals
come
forward,
are
they
right?
Are
they?
Are
they
too
big?
Are
they?
Are
they
going
to
be
relevant
for
the
the
residents
and
make
sure
that
we
speak
up
on
behalf
of
that?
Secondly,
look
at
some
innovative
ways,
whether
you
know,
because
there
are
urban
farms
all
around
the
country
that
work
and
become
more
of
a
community
asset,
wouldn't
that
be
fabulous
to
kind
of
retain
that
in
some
form.
The
final
point
is
around
biodiversity.
B
This
is
a
really
really
sensitive
ecological
area
and
biodiversity
is
really
really
important.
Particularly
here
we
are
one
of
the
first
councils
in
the
country
to
be
embedding
a
brand
new
policy
around
increasing
biodiversity
net
gain
into
planning
policy,
and
that
will
be
coming
into
fruition
shortly,
and
this
will
certainly
be
one
of
the
areas
that
want
to
see
that
embedded.
That's
all
about
making
sure
that
we,
you
want
to
see
an
on-site
increase
in
biodiversity
by
10
over
a
long
period
over
30
years
before
any
development
is
allowed
to
take
place.
B
So
you
know
rather
than
development,
going
up
and
making
biodiversity
worse,
that
the
new
natural
government
legislation
doesn't
come
in
for
two
years.
We're
getting
ahead
of
that
and
doing
it
now
making
sure
that
any
development
actually
makes
biodiversity
better
rather
than
worse.
And
nowhere
is
there
a
more
important
area
than
here
so
close
to
the
heath
and
right
in
the
middle
of
our
world
as
well.
B
So
you
know,
thanks
for
your
question,
alex
we're
absolutely
all
over
this,
we'll
be
looking
at
any
planning
application
if
it
comes
in
we're
also
going
to
explore
creative
solutions
on
how
we
can
potentially
look
at
trying
to
not
just
increase
biodiversity,
but
maybe
even
look
at
the
future
of
that
farm.
You
know
for
a
more
long-term
basis,
yeah.
A
Thanks
bill
and
alex
thanks
for
your
question,
you
referenced,
you
know
I
did
live
locally
and
up
until
quite
recently
and
just
absolutely
share
phil's
phil
sentiment.
You
know,
I
know
how
important
that
area
is
to
to
people
locally,
and
I'm
really,
you
know
nervous
about
any
future
development.
There
we're
starting
a
really
good
dialogue.
Now
with
the
talk.
A
That
is
trust,
and
you
know
we
have
those
aspirations
to
to
protect
and
enhance
what
is
there
and
actually,
if
we
can
make
it,
make
it
better
and
make
it
more
so
we're
committed
as
a
council
in
terms
of
having
that
dialogue
to
say
what
we
can
do
and
where
we
we
can
step
up.
I
think
we
need
to
look
and
say
as
well
talk
about
village
trust,
look,
they're,
very
charitable
organizations,
so
we
know
that
they
want
to
build.
You
know
they
invest
over
a
million
pounds
a
year
locally.
A
So
you
know
we
want
to
support
them,
but
but
we
need
to,
but
we
need
to
build
some
confidence
with
them
to
make
sure
what
they're
coming
up
with
can
actually
work
for
local
residents
and
feels
absolutely
right
about
the
the
urban
farm
concept
as
well
and
extending
that
so
because
you
know
it's
absolutely
amazing,
through
the
last
lock
down
every
day,
walked
across
the
heath
with
my
children
and
seeing
the
animals.
There
was
a
meds
so,
and
I
think
we
all
know
how
important
you
know
through
the
last
18
months.
A
It's
been
getting
outside
you
know
and
and
and
and
sort
of
enjoying,
what's
around
us.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
the
question
I'm
going
to
just
touch.
I
know
we
took.
We've
talked
about
it
before,
but
let's
go
into
a
bit
more
detail
because
charlton
lathari
has
asked
a
question
in
terms
of
money
to
buy
the
beach
huts
and
public
assets.
What
are
you
borrowing
the
money
from?
A
How
much
is
it
going
to
cost
us
the
services
debt
and
then
it
when
it
needs
to
be
paid
paid
back
so
effectively?
So
we
haven't
take
a
step
back
here.
We
have
a
choice
here,
so
so
we've
identified
a
transformation
program.
You
know
it's
all
about
putting
bcp
council
three
councils
together
a
three
organizations
together
and
by
doing
that,
you
can
make
them
more
efficient,
but
that
costs
money
to
do
to
work
out
how
to
do
it
properly.
A
So
we've
got
a
transformation
program
that
we
was
looking
at
costing
us
40
million
pounds
across
the
the
life
of
it
effectively
and
but
what
it
will
deliver
for
us
is
40
to
50
million
pounds
worth
of
savings
every
year.
So
you
know
so,
for
if
you
spend
four
pounds,
you'll
get
four
to
five
pounds
back
every
year
and
you
only
have
to
spend
the
initial
four
pounds
you
know
once
it
makes
absolutely
sense.
A
It
was
at
the
heart
of
what
putting
bournemouth
christchurch
and
paul
councils
together
much
more
efficient,
which
means
we
can
do
the
all
the
investment
and
millions
and
millions
of
pounds
of
investment
we're
talking
about
without
having
to
you
know,
raise
rate
council
taxes
higher.
So
we
have
a
choice
really
if
we
want
to
do
that,
one!
A
Yes,
we
do,
how
are
we
going
to
pay
for
it
and
what
we
inherited
was
a
plan
to
use
effectively
half
capital
receipts,
so
so
selling
assets
permanently
selling
assets
and
the
other
half
was
normal
revenue
money
which
we
we
can.
We've
now
been
able
to
release
into
the
budget
to
spend
on
things
like
the
12
and
over
12
million
pounds
of
investment
in
children's
services
this
year,
et
cetera.
So
so,
what's
so
effective
what
we've?
A
What
we've
said
is:
let's
look
at
how
else
we
can
fund
this
so
we're
using
one
of
our
assets
and
we're
absolutely
categorically
not
looking
at
selling
anything.
We
want
to
make
sure
our
children
inherit
more
of
an
asset
base
and
we
have
and
we
change
that
policy.
So
the
the
debt
you're
talking
about
is
a
third
party
debt,
so
other
banks
or
financial
institutions
will
effectively
primarily
put
that
money
in
there's
more
detail
in
in
in
the
paper.
A
It's
the
plan
is
over
20
year
period,
effectively
that
will
be
paid
back
over
20
years
by
the
income
from
the
beat
charts,
so
not
changing
anything
in
terms
of
the
the
beach
occupies
seeing
any
difference
because
of
that
transaction.
There
is
a
part
actually
where
this
enables
us
to
invest
more
money
in
in
the
beat
charts
and
and
also
on
our
sea
front
as
well.
So
so
actually
the
only
change
people
are
going
to
see
is
actually
more
investment
in
in
the
huts.
A
But
that's
not
what
this
questions
question
is
about
yeah,
so
you
know,
and
also
it's
a
very
you
know
we
have
a
a
really
strong
ability,
you
know
and
we're
very
financially
stable
institution.
A
A
Of
debt,
but
then
there's
a
massive
cost
to
not
investing
and
to
deliver
50
million
pounds
a
year
of
savings
every
year
and
also
not
on
releasing
money
to
put
into
our
services
so
charleston.
Hopefully
that
was
you
know.
This
is
a
technical
piece
and
so
apologies,
if,
if
any
of
that's
too
technical,
but
the
crux
there
is-
we
want
to
invest
in
the
council,
we're
doing
that.
It's
going
to
make
it
more
efficient,
great!
It's
going
to
save
40
to
50
pounds
a
year,
our
time
we're
doing
it.
A
We
want
to
be
investing
in
our
place
in
our
in
our
people
and
that's
and
that's
what
we're
doing
we're
doing
as
well
and-
and
the
third
part
is
we're
adamant
that
this
council
is
going
to
be
leaving
future
generations
with
more
assets.
We're
not
we're
stopping
the
fire
sale
of
assets
for
that.
We
talked
about
in
opposition
and
effectively
inherited
to
fund
from
this
program.
So
hopefully
that's
of
of
of
some
use
and
the
people
won't
mind
us
going
and
talking
about
that.
That
again.
B
Well,
we're
on
that
subject
one
more
point
to
underline
about
what
what
actually,
because
it's
quite
a
complicated
and
kind
of
technical
piece
of
accountancy
more
than
anything
else,
but
the
the
impact
of
what
that
means
on
on
real
people.
I
think
can't
be
understated.
You
know
we've
been
talking
here
about
a
budget
that
is
putting
more
money
into
all
of
our
services
than
than
pretty
much
any
council
in
the
country
and
certainly
anything
that
the
bcp
or
proceeding
councils
have
done
for
some
time.
B
Christchurch
council
taxpayers
now
are
on
average
in
a
band
paying
about
260
pounds
per
year,
less
than
if
bcb
hadn't
have
come
into
being
so
put
put
that
over
the
course
of
the
the
council
by
by
next
year,
when
the
elections
are,
each
household
in
christchurch
will
be
1
000
pounds
roughly
better
off,
have
paid
1
000
less
in
council
tax
because
of
all
the
efficiency
savings
we're
doing
as
part
of
this
program
and
also
the
financial
resilience
that
we're
doing
so.
B
That's
what
difference
this
reel
make
now
we
do
have
other
options.
We
could
just
keep
putting
council
tucks
up
by
the
maximum,
but
in
this
environment
it
just
seems
sensible
to
try
and
keep
as
much
money
into
people's
pockets
as
possible
and
then,
finally,
just
to
underline
that
financial
credibility,
one
of
the
things
that
we're
also
doing
you
know,
quite
unusually,
for
local
councils
we're
actually
putting
more
money
into
our
reserves
as
well.
B
So
we've
got
our
own
earmarked
reserve
section,
which
is
our
kind
of
rainy
day
fund,
and
actually
this
year,
alongside
freezing
council
tax
alongside
you
know,
all
of
this
investment
we're
doing
in
services,
we're
also
increasing
our
reserves,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
compared
to
other
councils,
we're
at
least
at
the
midpoint,
if
not
higher-
and
this
puts
us
as
a
as
one
of
the
more
higher
reserve
level
councils
for
our
competitors
in
the
country.
So,
council
tax
freeze
investment
like
never
before
a
thousand
pounds.
B
You
know
better
off
just
in
christchurch
and
more
money
into
our
reserves.
So
you
know,
I
think,
talking
about
financial
credibility.
You
probably
can't
get
much
stronger
than
that.
I
think
you
know
we're
really
proud
of
what
we've
been
able
to
unlock
on
that.
A
Yeah
yeah,
thank
you
thanks
for
it
really
helpful
and
to
to
put
that
across
so
say.
You
know,
and
I
think
it's
in
over
the
five
year
period
as
well,
we're
getting
to
a
level
point
or
towards
a
level
point
which
means
it's
good
financial
credibility
and
it's
across
that
five-year
period
that
we're
moving
the
the
year
marked
reserves
up
to
about
about
middle
point
and
then,
hopefully,
above
in
that
period
as
well.
A
So
hopefully
that's,
I
hope,
that's
helpful
and
certainly
what
we
talked
about
in
terms
of
fiscal
prudence
and
financial
prudence.
I've
got
a
question
from
jude
tuffin,
just
really
138,
just
a
brief
one,
and
I
think
it's
a
reasonable
question
to
answer
so
dude.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
it
we're
talking
about
bringing
a
20
million
pound
futures
fund
for
climate,
a
green
futures
fund
for
the
climate.
If
people
will
be
sort
of
speculating
about
what
we're
intending
to
spend
now
on,
I
can
say:
dude.
A
You
know
that
there
is
no,
you
know
no
plan
at
all
around
around
wind
farm,
but
that's
on
our
table.
It's
certainly
not
something
we're
looking
at
in.
In
that
instance,
we
don't
feel
we
need
to
in.
In
the
first
instance,
there
are
a
myriad.
A
Ways
we
can,
we
can
spend
money,
you
know
and
there's
a
significant
number
of
solar
farms.
You
know
and
opportunities
we're
looking
at,
but
there's
very
other
investments
as
well.
A
Quick
answer,
but
hopefully
hopefully
that
was
that
was
helpful.
Okay,
let
me
see
what
else
we've
got:
okay,
okay,
so
lucy
allen's
gonna
be
talking
about
the
142
lighting
on
a
section
of
the
prom
at
canvas.
Branson
beach
be
part
of
the
transformation
sequence
strategy
lucy.
I
think.
B
A
Really
really
interesting
question
we're
currently
looking
at
our
seafood
strategy,
which
I
know
you've
you
you've,
I
believe
in
one
of
your
roles,
you've
been
commenting
on,
which
is
really
helpful.
We.
A
You
know,
we've
got
a
big
plan
and
we've
got
a
50
million
power
futures
fund,
which
is
helping
us
unlock
some
of
it
and
one
of
the
five
key
elements
of
the
big
plan
is
seafront,
we're
trying
to
make
sure
there's
more
investment
going
into
the
seafront.
We're
doing
that
in
a
number
of
ways,
we're
doing
that
in
terms
of
pop-ups
we're
in
conversations
with
people
like
rock
water
coming
in
and
investing
in
in
the
area
as
well.
A
So
what
we
now
need
to
do
is
to
work
out
what
what
else
we
do
so
we
put
you
know
we
put
hundreds
of
thousand
pounds
into
into
toilets,
we're
going
further
on
toilets
in
the
seafront.
We
put
some
investment
into
barbecue,
so
people
can
have
three
barbecues
on
the
seafront
and
now
we're
looking
at
what's
next.
So,
although
there's
nothing,
you
know
immediate
about
that
lighting
section,
because
I
appreciate
it,
it's
different
between
paul
and
what
was
historic,
bournemouth.
A
You
know
we
in
our
futures
fund
that
there's
things
now
about
electrification
of
the
prom
across
the
prom
effectively
to
support
all
of
that
as
well.
So
we
are,
I
can
say
quite
clearly:
we
are
looking
at
it
lucy
and
now
we're
you
know
over
the
next
six
to
12
months.
A
We'll
have
a
really
clear
plan
about
what
my
extra
extra
investment
is
is
going
to
be,
and
actually
you
know,
and
lucy's
next
question
actually
was
about
the
thank
you
for
your
efforts
to
keep
the
prompt,
clear
of
sand,
yeah
and
lucy
so
that
particularly
in
the
budget
we've
talked
about
slides
earlier
on.
That's
in
our
summer
response
effectively,
so
we
didn't
have
money
two
years
ago
to
make
the
level
of
sound
clearance
that
we
did.
A
We
put
it
in
this
year,
needs
it
because
otherwise
people
really
can't
you
know,
can't
use
it
and
it
needs
to
look.
If
it's
going
to
look
world-class,
we
need
to
make
sure
we
we
look
after
the
sound
of
it.
So
I
appreciate
your
your
your
comments
there
for
lucy,
okay,
I'll
just
have
a
look
at
some
other
questions.
Mandy
patricia's
asked
a
question
at
1.47.
Why
are
people
still
freezing
on
the
streets?
Plenty
of
empty
shops
could
could
be
adopted
mandy?
We
did.
A
We
talked
about
this
briefly
earlier
on,
so
let
me
just
come
come
back
on
this!
Anybody
who
wants
to
coming
off
the
streets
we
absolutely
categorically
will
will
home
and
house.
So,
let's
just
be
really
clear.
B
A
That
it
is
a
hugely
complex
area.
You
know
very
often
some
significant
substance
abuse.
You
know
issues
mental
health
problems.
So
what
we
need
to
do
mandy
is
it's
not
just
enough.
It
hasn't
been
enough
and
it's
not
good
enough,
but
that
isn't
enough,
but
to
just
go
and
say:
look
you
know
please.
This
is
how
you
can
engage
with
us
and
and
have
a
house
at
home
effectively.
A
So
what
we've
done
is
we
put
over
a
hundred
thousand
pounds
ongoing
every
year
in
this
budget
into
the
into
the
health
hub
that
we're
looking
to
set
up
in
bourbon
town
center
and
and
then
and
also
the
capital
investment
in
buying
it
that
we'll
be
doing?
And
so
we
are
trying
really
hard
to
do
to
follow
the
government
and
what
they've
done
around
extra
investment
in
into
homeless.
A
So
it's
not
a
case
of
needing
more
more
buildings
and
we,
you
know
we're
able
to
house
and
home
people
it's
about
finding
ways
to
build
trust
with
them
and
engage
with
them,
because
we've
got
to
have
high
standards
of
ambition
for,
for
you
know,
people
who
are
vulnerable
and
sleeping
on
the
streets
and
also
we
could
have
higher
ambition
for,
for
you
know
what
that
looks
like
makes
our
town
centers
look
like
as
well,
so
it's
trying
to
get
that
balance
right,
mandy,
so,
hopefully
that
that
that
helps
there
is.
A
There
is
extra
investment
this
year
in
this
budget
going
into
it.
I
think.
B
It's
also
worth
just
pointing
out:
it's
it's
a
huge
cross-party,
correct,
sorry,
cross
partner
agency
work
on
this
as
well.
So
we've
got
our
partners,
saint
mongers,
who
are
our
main
partners
that
help
us
with
those
you
know,
unfortunately
stuff
to
find
themselves
rough
sleeping.
We
work
really
closely
with
the
police.
You
know
we
have
people
going
out
at
four
five
o'clock
every
morning
to
deal
with
the
people
that
are
out
there.
B
That
we
know
are
there
that
are
refusing
to
come
in
and
are
very
kind
of
slowly
slowly,
gently
gently
approach
to
try
and
deal
with
some
of
the
issues
that
are
making
them
choose
to
stay
out
there.
So
it
is
a
really
complicated
situation.
You
can
see
the
number
on
the
screen
below,
which
is
for
our
partner
st.
So
if
you
see
anybody,
I'm
sure
they're
aware
of
them,
but
you
never
know
it's
always
worth
touching
base
with
them.
B
The
other
point
I
think
it's
worth
saying-
and
this
is
not
a
flippant
comment
at
all,
but
we
do
do
regular
checks,
independent
checks
or
how
many
rough
sleepers
we
have
on
the
streets
and
at
our
most
recent
counts.
We
are
now.
I
think
the
lowest
we've
been
for
for
many
many
many
years,
so
tremendous
amount
of
work
has
been
done.
There
are,
you
know,
by
all
accounts,
fewer
rough
sleepers
on
the
streets
than
then
certainly
at
their
peak,
but
you
know
for
quite
a
long
time
now.
B
The
problem
is
those
that
are.
There
are
in
very,
very
visual
spots
as
well,
but
you
know
tremendous
amount
of
amount
of
work
has
been
done,
but,
as
drew's
pointed
out,
these
are
often
very
complicated
situations
and
that's
why
it's
really
important
that
if
you
know
of
a
roster
but
report
them
to
the
st
mungo's
number
so
that
the
very
least
they're
on
their
their
radar-
because
quite
often
it
is
a
you
know-
a
longer
period
that
it
takes
to
make
sure
that
we
get
some
of
these
people
off.
B
Meanwhile,
what
you
don't
see
is
all
the
work
that
goes
on
into
the
bigger
problem
of
homelessness
of
people
that
find
themselves
without
a
home,
and
you
know
very
few
people
find
themselves
in
a
rough
sleeping
position
and
we've
got
you
know
amazing
teams,
and
only
in
the
last
week
as
an
example,
we've
just
approved
a
new
development
on
on
herbert
avenue,
which
takes
some
of
those
people
that
are
struggling
to
find
themselves
a
home,
a
new
development.
That's
going
over
there,
it's
passive
house
standards.
So
it's
you
know,
meeting
our
eco
credentials
as
well.
B
You
know
to
take
again
dozens
of
people
and
put
them
into
longer
term
accommodation,
because
quite
often
it's
not
just
about
quick
fix,
it's
about
making
sure
that
then
we're
not
just
giving
them
a
roof
over
their
heads,
but
we're
giving
people
that
are
struggling.
You
know
a
path
out
and
a
path
to
a
more
long-term
sustainable
future.
So
we
put
hundreds
of
millions
of
pounds
into
that
through
that
and
our
seascape
homes
buying
homes,
specifically
for
people
that
find
themselves
in
the
homeless
situation,
so
loads
of
work
going
on.
But
it's
really
important.
A
Great
phil,
thank
you
and
let's
just
do
one
more
question
about
homelessness.
You
know,
while
we've
got
it
dawn,
cox
I'll,
be
I'll,
be
ready
to
agree
one
brief,
149.
dawn,
you're,
absolutely
right
again
about
you,
know:
people
just
becoming
homeless,
pre
homeless
effectively.
So
that's
again,
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
want
this
and
the
evidence
says
we
need
this
health
hub
this
this
multi-agency
team,
and
so
it's
not
just
directly
about
people
who
are
already
on
the
streets.
A
What
we
find
before
that
is
often
a
lot
of
you
know,
sofa
surfing
or
you
know,
technically
homeless.
So
we
need
to
find
a
way
of
all
partners
in
the
same
place.
At
the
same
time,
being.
A
Pre
somebody
ending
up
on
the
streets
and
and
also
while
they
are
so
it's
a
very
much
door,
what
we're
talking
about
with
the
health
hub
and
that
real
investment
there
is
about
putting
all
those
people
in
one
place
to
to
support
that.
So
thank
you
dawn
for
your
quick
for
your
question
got
something
from
youtube.
Bob's
blobby
at
151
been
no
bins
in
more
done,
but
thank
you
very
much
for
that.
A
What
would
you
just
pop
up
my
email
address:
drew.mellow
bcpcouncil.gov,
dot
uk
so,
but
by
means,
if
you
could,
if
you
could
actually
give
me
your
details
on
that,
we'll
we'll
come
back
to
you
with
an
answer
so
through
our
clean
agreement,
safe
piece
of
work,
we're
doing
a
lot
of
investment
talked
about
it
before
in
more
bins.
Just
look
at
the
sea
front.
There's
literally,
you
know
a
huge
amount,
more
capacity
and
we've
done
that
in
a
lot
of
our
town
centres
as
well.
A
If
there's
a
specific
problem
in
mordor,
I
don't
have
that
detail
to
hand,
but
we
will
look
into
it
and-
and
they
come
back
to
you
so
by
all
means.
Please
do
email
drew.miller
at
bcpcouncil.gov
dot
uk.
Is
there
any
specific
problems
that
one
absolutely,
but
any
other
specific
problems
as
well
I'll,
be
really
really
happy
to
to
look
that
up
for
you.
We've
only
got
a
couple
of
minutes
left
now,
so
we
have
to
draw
it
to
a
relative
relative,
close,
okay,
fine.
A
So
what
I
might
do
now
is,
if
I
just
do
a
quick
sort
of
so
thank
you
so
much
you
know.
Well,
you
know
I
just
go
through
the
top
of
the
budget
again
effectively.
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
invest
massively
around
people.
So
that's
a
record
investment
going
into
children's
and
adults
services,
sort
of
vulnerable
people
in
in
our
community.
It's
a
climate
budget
because
we
put
20
million
pounds.
A
You
know,
which
is
a
huge
amount
of
capital
money
made
it
available
to
you
know
for
climate
and
climate
investment.
You
know-
and
it's
done
in
a
time
of
where
we
really
didn't
know
that
there's
a
squeeze
on
people's
in
expenditure,
so
we've
done
it
with
effectively
one
of
the
lowest
over
the
last
two
years.
Council
tax
rises
in
the
in
the
country.
A
So
that
over
11
million
pounds
of
council
tax
we
haven't
collected
over
the
two
years,
that
means
there
is
more
in
in
in
residence
pockets
and
we're
going
to
keep
trying
to
do
that.
We're
going
to
make
sure
we
make
the
best
use
of
our
assets
so
that
so
we
can
start
keeping
a
low
tax
on
one
of
the
lower
tax
councils
in
in
the
country.
A
We're
doing
that
at
a
time
where
we're
giving
a
you
know
we're
projecting
over
five
years,
some
real
good
levels
of
financial
sustainability
for
the
council
there.
You
know,
there's
still
challenges
in
that,
but
we,
but
we
believe
we're
we're
addressing
them
and
phil
mentioned
before
we.
You
know
we
are
putting
extra
money
into
our
own
earmarked
reserves.
So
let's
be
really
clear
about
that.
A
You're
worried
about
we've
actually
been
able
to
release
quite
a
lot
of
that
which
is
which
is
great
because
of
the
financial
sustainability
we're
moving
into
and
what
we
are
doing.
We're
then
moving
up
our
unearmarked
reserves,
basically
our
as
phil
called
it
rainy
day
fund
and
what
we
inherited
was
actually
sort
of
below
average
in
terms
of
other
councils
and
we're
moving
that
over
a
five-year
period
to
the
median
and
an
above
point
is
very
much
our
our
aspiration.
B
A
Let
me
just
see
if
there's
anything
else,
we
wanted
to
talk
about
fixing
the
potholes.
We've
got
a
question
that
just
come
in
from
jeanette
about
fixing
potholes.
So
again,
I
talked
earlier
on
about
some
of
the
money
coming
from
on
cycle
lanes.
A
Isn't
money
that
we're
effectively
investing
as
money
coming
down
from
government
to
us,
but
we
can't
spend
it
on
other
things
we
are,
but
we
can't
what
we
have
to
fix
is
potholes
and
that's
our
and
when,
in
this
budget,
puts
in
an
extra
600
000
pounds
which
is
part
of
an
extra
8.2
million
pound,
one-off
investment
across
22-23.
So
there's
significant.
B
A
Money
going
into
potholes
it's
going
to
be
called
pothole
patrol,
so
look
look
out
for
that.
We
want
it
to
be
over
and
above
what
we're
already
doing
so
we'd
be
more
responsive,
so
we're
looking
at
different
ways.
We
can
engage
and
engage
on
that.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
questions
of
a
huge
amount
we
didn't
get
through
through
all
of
them
I'll.
What
I'll
do
now
is
is
thank
still
and
adam
very
much
for
for
their
support
and
adam,
and
his
finance
team
have
done
a
huge
amount
of
work
across
the
last
18
months
throughout
the
pandemic.
A
To
deliver
you
know,
award-winning
or
actually
certainly
award
a
definitely
got
some
award
categories
around
getting
that
support
out
to
to
businesses,
so
we're
trying
to
lead
the
way
in
that
we've
got
a
fantastic
team.
That's
delivered
that
phil.
A
Would
like
to
say
before,
before
we
close
out,
we
would
just
want
to
slightly
run
over.
B
It's
the
highlights
again,
isn't
it?
You
know,
I
don't
think,
there's
any
not
that
we
want
to
peacock
too
much
drew,
but
you
know
I
don't
think
there
is
anywhere
else
in
the
country.
That's
delivering
a
core
council
tax
freeze
and
the
level
of
investment.
We
are
25
million
in
our
first
vulnerable,
eight
million
in
new
priorities,
five
million.
Embedding
the
other
priorities.
B
You
know
an
extra
in-year
fund
to
make
sure
that
we
can
pick
up
the
phones
better.
You
know,
I
think,
that's
a
really
important
one
as
well.
All
the
while
you
know
increasing
our
under
miami
preserves
as
well
so
watch
out
for
your
counter
tax
bill.
You
will
see
that
freeze
and
our
aim
as
ever
is
to
keep
making
sure
that
we
improve
services
and
keep
as
much
money
in
people's
pockets
as
possible.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Everybody!
Everybody.
We've
got
two
weeks
time.
We've
got
next
one
of
his
sessions
and
very
much
look
forward
to
it.
We've
really
liked
doing
these
themed
sessions.
I
think
this
we
get
some
great
feedback
from
them,
so
by
all
means
give
us
any
comments
on
what
you'd
like
to
look
at
next.
Hopefully,
this
budget
one
was
useful.
So
thank
you.
Everybody
cheers.
