0:02:20 - Agenda Item 01 - Questions and replies
A
Groups
have
have
submitted
their
questions
in
priority
order
and
I
will
take
the
questions
on
a
rotating
basis
and
try
to
ensure
that
each
group
receives
roughly
equal
share
of
the
time
available,
so
be
clear.
Councillors
can
ask
max
the
maximum
of
two
supplementary
questions.
If
you
have
submitted
to
people.
If
you
have
submitted
to
questions
you,
can
you
may
ask
both
of
your
supplementary
questions
on
just
one
of
the
topics
or
one
to
one
of
each?
B
Thank
you.
My
lord
mayor
I
saw
and
thank
you
for
the
answer.
It
occurs
to
me
that
you
know
regarding
the
student
accommodation
that
the
local
plan
was
agreed
in
2011
and
I.
Don't
recall
they
were
being
in
charge
in
2011,
so
who
actually
made
the
decision
to
move
push
all
the
student
accommodation
into
the
center
into
the
sense
of
personal
and
actually
create
a
you
know.
Almost
a
student
ghetto
in
the
middle
of
the
city.
C
Well,
I
guess
that
would
have
been
political
leadership
and
Kevin
I
remember
at
the
time,
but
we
what
we
lost
that
I
can't
Anita
says
it
was
him
but
I'm.
What
I
would
say
is
this
is
something
that
we
take
seriously.
You
know
quite
famously
with
our
with
our
approach
to
housing.
What
we've
talked
about
is
not
just
building
homes
but
building
communities
and
building
balanced
communities.
C
B
Okay,
second,
questions
regarding
business
rates
for
student
accommodation,
disappointed
the
D
CLG
aren't
interested
in
addressing
this,
because
obviously,
students
take
up
a
lot
of
resource
in
the
city
and
then,
if
their
accommodation
pays
nothing
in
the
companies
we're
making
a
huge
lot
of
money
at
student
accommodation
pay
no
business
rates.
That's
that's
a
bit
of
a
drain.
B
C
I
mean
this
is
again.
This
was
a
conversation
that
didn't
that
did
happen
when
I
met
with
some
of
the
Russell
Group
just
recently,
and
what
we
all
recognized
the
massive
benefits
that
universities
bring
to
a
place.
We
need
to
work
out
the
nature
that
benefit
and
every
benefit
has
a
cost
to
it
as
well.
So
we
need
to
take
all
that
into
account,
and
the
university's
been
very
positive
about
about
engaging
in
that
conversation,
but
we
are,
we
did.
We
have
raised
this
and
again
raised
it
again
with
the
core
cities.
C
Actually
as
it's
something
that
we
all
it's
a
challenge
that
we
all
need
to
take
on
growing
population
austerity.
How
do
we
meet
the
needs
of
our
populations
with
growing
student
numbers?
Take
taking
up
a
share
of
our
city?
How
do
we
balance
all
those
things
out?
So
it
is
something
that's
being
pursued
and
actually
within
our
own
area,
it's
something
again
that
Tim
Warren
in
Barth
has
been
very
vocal
about
as
well,
so
I
think
we'll
we'll
look
at
it
as
a
combined
authority
area.
Also.
D
Thank
you
very
much,
my
lord
mayor,
thank
you
for
the
responses
it
succinct.
Definitely,
mr.
mayor
can
I
ask
obviously
if
8
million
of
sill
has
been
of
the
as
we
know
when
still
is
paid,
85
percent
of
it
is
retained
century
to
spend
on
strategic
projects.
Now
eight
million
obviously
involves
a
large
combination
of
that
85
percent.
How
much
extra
is
available
for
strategics
expenditure
on
strategic
projects.
C
D
Get
some
additional
detail
of
my
second
supplementary
Asst
I
would
like
to
know
how
we
are
proposing
to
use
whatever
is
left,
because
I
am
currently
concerned
that
whenever
a
development
happens
in
our
air,
when
you
stuff
section
106,
you
would
mitigate
transport
wise,
Park,
wise
library,
wise
whatever
else,
but
actually,
if
85
percent
of
that
money
goes
centrally
and
then
just
vanishes,
we
actually
end
up.
Never
mitigating
against
the
developments
are
happen
in
our
communities.
Yeah.
C
Right
well,
we'll
get
we'll
get
them
the
the
exact
detail
on
what
that
process
is
that
we
work
through
existing
and
how
we'd
want
it
adapted
and
developed
as
well.
I
think,
as
we've
expanded
the
value
for
money
on
that
the
arena
as
well,
what
I
would
say
is
it
generally
has
to
mean
value
for
money
as
well,
not
just
a
project
in
isolation
with
its
own
excel
sheet,
but
its
impact
on
the
wider
area
impact
on
our
own
infrastructure
pressures
as
well.
C
E
Thank
you
very
much,
I'm,
not
sure
if
anyone
can
actually
read
any
of
the
answers
up
there,
but
luckily
I've
been
since
copy,
and
you
I
believe
what
you
actually
said
in
your
election
campaign.
Marvin
was
you
wouldn't
impose
any
residents
parking
and
that
you
would
review
the
schemes
and
you've
certainly
been
reviewing
them,
but
no
one's
asking
you
to
impose
them
in
terms
of
what
you've
actually
said.
E
You
don't
answer
the
question
about
what
the
threshold
for
what
you're
now
calling
overwhelming
support
is.
There's
clearly
lots
and
lots
of
it
in
my
ward
in
more
than
one
area,
because
by
more
than
one
other
other
parking
scheme,
and
you
haven't
answered
any
issues
around
financing,
although
you're
the
previous
cabinet
member,
suggested
these
are
self
financing
and
could
be
implemented
with
that
basis.
So
I
think
I.
E
Think
my
question
really
is
that
if,
if
you
actually
want
to
say
no,
please
say
no,
but
if
you
want
to
listen
to
residents
and
see
what
situation
is
now,
please
listen
to
at
least
four
statements
and
read
them.
The
ones
that
have
been
submitted
today,
they're
going
to
be
made
by
residents
from
to
two
different
Ward's,
and
there
are
residents,
in
other
words,
have
similar
feelings
about
the
misery
being
caused
by
uncontrolled
commuter
parking.
E
C
Suggested
motivation,
mine,
which
I
think
is
always
think,
he's
a
bit
of
step
too
far,
but
no
we,
we
I,
made
a
commitment
that
we
wouldn't
extend
residents,
parking
zones
and
I
and
we
wouldn't
put
him
on
there
isn't
and
I
stood
by
that
I
said
if
there's
overwhelming
support,
because
obviously
we
want
to
to
make
space
for
that.
But
likewise
you
know
there's
a
cost
that
comes
with
it.
C
So
you
know
the
two
things
have
to
stack
up:
I
mean
in
your
question:
you
you,
you
suggest
that
I'm,
you
know
making
space
for
counselors
to
engage
in
a
pointless
prototype.
Raas
s1
is
you.
You
have
the
process,
you
know
the
financial
restrictions
on
the
council.
You
know
what
you
do
with
your
time.
If
you
want
to
go
and
campaign
in
your
community
for
a
parking
zone
for
such
a
time
was
when
finances
may
become
available
in
the
future
and
building
that
overwhelming
support,
then
that's
up
there
match
that's
a
decision.
C
C
Wondering
I
can't
one
of
the
accusations
was
I
listened
too
much.
Actually
I
mean
I've,
got
it
all
the
difference,
so
yeah
it
is
not
imposed.
That's
that's!
That's
that's
what
we
were
clear
about,
I
didn't
say:
I
was
going
to
ban
them.
That
would
be.
That
would
be
a
silly
thing
to
say,
but
the
key
thing
we
were
saying
was
in
a
name
of
local
leadership.
C
If
decision
is
going
to
be
made,
it
needs
to
be
made
at
the
local
level
and
if
you're
going
to
advocate
for
a
parking
zone,
then
you
must
advocate
for
it
in
all
your
frosty
and
then
stand
accountable
for
it.
I
think
the
top-down
Center
out
approach
to
parking
zones
is
one
that
that
didn't
sit
very
well
in.
You
know
with
the
city
at
all,
and
it's
not
something
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
both
for
the
results
and
further
for
the
kind
of
tone
and
culture
and
that
it
creates
in
Bristol.
F
Apologies
if
the
mayor's
Kurt
disregard
for
those
new
to
be
at
the
parks
of
meeting
included
except
members
of
the
parks
forum,
even
more
damaging
than
the
repeated
no-shows
of
councillor
Craig
at
quarterly
parks.
Forum
meetings,
which
led
to
the
unanimously
supported
letter
of
complaint
to
councilor
clerk
Craig
in
May.
2017.
C
No
I
mean
this
kind
of
classic
I
got
this,
isn't
just
I,
don't
even
know
what
to
say
to
you
guys
I
mean
if
you
like,
the
sambala
and
Tobias
of
Bristol
politics,
I
mean
it's
just
remarkable.
Did
this
hyperbole
I
did
this
catastrophe,
this
debark
old?
It's
all
this
stuff.
These
descriptions
you
use
it's
not
about.
No
showing
people
are
stretched
all
over
the
place.
I
mean
I'm,
not
running
councillor
Craig's
diary,
I,
don't
mean
sometimes
I
get
obviously
a
lot
of
help
with
mine.
C
We
start
ourselves
as
thinly
and
if
you
go
out
into
the
city
and
proactively
misinterpret
people's
ability
or
inability
to
be
at
meetings
as
somehow
symbolic
of
their
investment
in
the
mock,
the
Democratic
project,
then
I
mean
it
just
it
just
shows
in
to
the
poverty
of
politics
has
been
pushed
on
the
city.
So
for
so
many
years
you
know
in
the
name
of
in
the
name
of
a
headline,
and
it
just
leaves
me
in
a
case
of
despair.
C
C
How
we
work
collective,
is
a
city
to
protect
our
assets
and
develop
them
to
to
service
our
communities,
to
develop
our
communities
and
make
sure
that
the
city
has
a
thriving
future
again.
That
is
one
that
is
not
just
about
council
services
as
essential
as
our,
but
is
about
the
driving
forward
of
the
wider
economy,
which,
incidentally,
I've
never
heard
you
talking
about.
C
C
It
is
very
important,
but
we
yeah
that
we
have
respect
for
our
workforce
and
bringing
the
HR
matters
into
the
public
domain
as
you
had
it's
just
it's
just
been
unprofessional
and
as
of
a
flagrant
disregard
for
the
welfare
of
this
organization
and
what
I
can
say
actually,
which
is
where
the
I'm
sure
you
won't
accept
it,
which
is
which
is
a
truth
that
the
it
damages
the
council's
brand
and
ability
to
recruit
people
to
this
organization.
If
they
are
looking
at
well.
Well,
I'm
glad
you
agree
your
partner,
oh!
C
Thank
you
very
much,
I'm
glad
you
agree
with
that.
You
know
when
people
look
at
which
core
city
to
go
and
working
and
they
think
I
can
go
and
work
in
a
core
city
be
paid
equivalent
amount
or
even
more
and
not
have
to
deal
with
being
users
of
you
with
my
employment
conditions
being
used
as
a
football
in
the
public
domain
by
councillors.
C
You've,
quite
frankly,
should
have
a
bigger
vision
and
that
for
why
they
were
elected,
it
does
impact
on
our
ability
to
recruit
top
class
staff,
and-
and-
and
you
know
this
is
being
fed
back
to
us
right
now
and
more
than
that
Gary.
What
I
point
out
is
that
what
is
fed
back
to
me
by
our
existing
staff
is,
is
that
that
and
I
said
this
to
D
over
night.
What
happens
in
this
chamber
when
our
staff
were
being
used
as
political
footballs?
C
Does
nothing
for
their
ability
to
to
lead
to
take
risks
and
deliver
for
the
for
the
city
of
Brisco
priests,
or
for
the
fear
that
any
failure
is
brought
up
on
ya
and
fair
enough?
Our
issues
need
to
be
discussed,
but
you
have
to
show
an
element
of
discretion
and
wisdom
in
how
you
talk
about
the
work
force
of
this
organization
and
stop
stop
chasing
the
headlines,
have
a
big
vision
for
the
city
and
tell
me
what
you
want
to
get
done.
G
C
C
What
is
they'll
be
an
open
door
to
that
I
mean
one
thing
that
we
are
trying
to
do
is
make
sure
that
we
use
data
as
a
city
much
more
effectively,
not
just
a
city
council
data,
but
city
data
and
and
I
would
suggest
that
one
of
the
things
that
you
could
do
is
come
and
be
minded
of.
The
city
plan
which
is
about
taking
on
that
challenge.
C
We
want
to
be
able
to
say
about
the
city's
air
quality
in
which
year
and
and
all
the
things
that
we
need
to
do
to
deliver
that
enroute,
how
we
measure
it
and
how
we
share
that
with
the
public.
So
the
idea
is
that
that
city
plan
becomes
an
authoritative,
a
city
agreement
that
we
all
collectively
work
into
delivering.
H
C
I
I
thank
thank
Richard
for
his
interest
in
this
issue,
which
I
know
has
been
long-standing
over
many
years.
The
the
answer
is:
absolutely:
yes.
Did
the
housing
management
board
do
that
absolutely
not
certainly
not
in
recent
years?
I,
don't
blame
anybody,
particularly
for
that
I
went
to
three
meetings.
I
So
what
we
want
to
do
is
reinvigorate
resident
involvement
in
our
housing
management,
not
not
to
reduce
it
and
having
the
meeting,
which
I
know
was
great
fun
for
me
to
meet
yourself
and
I,
think
it
was
Tim
and
Charlie
Bolton,
plus
one
tenant
and
one
lease
holder
and
and
be
told
by
the
officers.
What
a
great
job
they
were
doing
was
really
really
invigorating.
It
was
not
involving
tenants
in
the
management
of
the
housing,
so
this
is
something
absolutely
we
want
to
reinvigorate
and
I
would
welcome
your
support
and
help
him
doing
that.
I
H
C
It's
worth
noting
as
well
councillor
D,
we've
we've
actually
within
three
months
of
comment
in.
We
ran
a
very
large
event
in
the
cash
hall
for
tenants
from
across
press
story
a
hundred
or
so
come.
We
did
a
follow
up
to
that
six
months
later
in
in
the
conference
hall
as
well.
So
actually,
our
engagement
with
with
tenants
across
first
always
been
quite
strong,
League
off
the
traps.
Quite
well,
and
obviously,
we've
been
reviewing
the
formal
structures
and
also
I
I'd,
say
there's
a
wider
consulate
wider
context
to
this
as
well.
C
C
These
are
all
the
things
that
lead
to
people
having
a
powerful
voice
in
a
place
in
which
they
live,
and
what
we're
trying
to
drive
forward
in
terms
of
our
infrastructure,
the
profile
we'll
bring
into
Bristol's
economy
and
the
commitment
we've
made
around
education
and
skills
of
mental
health.
All
in
the
name
of
investing
in
social
mobility
and
life
prospects
are
all
absolutely
in
Grint,
integral
to
making
sure
that
people
growing
up
in
city
and
making
a
life
here
have
a
sense
of
purchase.
J
You
Lord
Mayor,
Marvin,
I,
I,
think
I
I
thought
I
might
tempt
you
into
becoming
an
agony
aunt,
but
you
avoided
that
and
you
haven't
really
answered
my
dilemma.
You've
pushed
it
back
to
me
and
fair
point.
I
would
have
a
supplementary
question,
though,
which
is
about
the
number
of
rough
sleepers.
The
last
time
I
saw
a
document
written.
There
were
79
rough
sleepers
and
I
see
now
that
that
you're,
quoting
125
I,
think
also
that
would
support
anecdotal
evidence
that
people
seem
to
feel
that
the
problem
is
getting
worse.
J
C
Mind
I
mean
and
I
appreciate
your
your
comment.
Sir
I
mean
I
minded
of
what
before
I
was
elected.
I
met
a
mare
from
London,
and
he
said
when
he
sat
in
his
office.
They
were
all
loads
of
levers
in
front
of
him,
but
when
he
pulled
on
them
they
founded
that
the
efan
they
weren't
connected
to
anything
and
one
of
the
challenges
about
being
in
political
leadership.
As
there
were
so
many
factors
determining
the
conditions
in
which
we
we
operate.
C
We
can
do
our
bit
and
do
our
best,
but
and
that's
not
absolving
ourselves
a
responsibility,
but
we
think
about
the
complexity
of
the
drivers
of
homelessness.
The
wider
economic
performance,
dwp
mental
health
substance
use.
We
have
a.
We
had
someone
hot-desking
all
upstairs
just
now
from
wild
goose
cafe.
You
know,
as
ghin
was
talking
about
the
challenge
of
people
come
in
to
Bristol,
because
actually
our
service
offer
is
superior
to
that
some
of
the
around
its
surrounding
towns
and
cities.
So
we
do
attract
people
here.
C
People
also
come
here
on
the
way
back
from
festival
season,
which
is
what
some
of
the
the
charities
have
said.
So
let
me
let
me
take
it
on
advice
as
to
in
terms
of
targets
or
like
it's
one
of
those
things.
How
what
point
do
we
describe
the
scale
of
our
service
offer
and
what
we're
committing
to
such
as
the
2.5
million
pounds?
And
at
what
point
do
we
say
that
we're
gonna
be
able
to
guarantee
a
certain
picture
of
Bristol?
C
But
what
I
can
say
is
that
in
the
immediate
term,
what
we
are
doing
is
every
winter.
We
are
committing
I'm,
not
saying
we
achieve
it
every
year,
but
we
started
last
year
to
making
sure
that
anyone
who
has
the
ability
to
accept
help
would
not
have
to
spend
the
night
on
the
street
during
the
coldest
month
and
we're
gearing
up
towards
that
again
for
this
winter,
with
the
whole
collection
of
organizations,
both
council,
voluntary
sector,
faith
groups
and
so
forth.
But
let
me
take
it
on
advice.
C
J
C
It
was
the
voluntary
set
to
groups
that
work
on
this
as
well,
and
obviously
it
comes
against
the
backdrop
where
we're
trying
to
to
build
houses
for
people
as
well,
but
I
know
that
putting
bricks
on
bricks
is
not
the
sole
solution,
because
the
drivers
of
homelessness
are
multifaceted
and
complicated
and
we
need
to
work
coherently
with
justice
system
people
coming
out
prison
mental
health
services
when
you
think
about
people
in
the
military
addiction
services
as
well.
So
you
know
we're
trying
to
we're
trying
to
be
on
a
front
end.
Allah.
K
You
very
much
for
your
responses
to
my
questions.
There's
a
qualified
social
worker
working
with
care
leavers.
The
transition
from
Children's
Services
to
adult
services
can
be
incredibly
difficult.
Can
you
assure
me
that
all
care
leavers
are
supported
to
access
these
services
and
kept
informed
about
what
services
available
to
them?
I.
C
Actually
is
the
review
of
the
health
and
well-being
board
because
again
that
one
of
the
challenges
we've
taken
on
is
that
health
as
a
system,
not
individual
health
providers,
but
health
as
a
system
has
not
been
led
well
in
Bristol,
and
when
we're
talking
about
that,
we're
talking
about
the
transition
between
children's
services,
adult
services,
physical,
mental
health,
commissioning
and
provision,
and
until
we
have
over
to
we're
confident
we
sorted
out
the
system.
I
wouldn't
feel
confident
telling
you
to
every
kid.
C
There
was
a
guaranteed
offer,
but
but
what
I
would
say
is
some
of
the
work
that
Helen
Godwin's
been
doing
is
coming
up
with
a
charter
for
young
people.
These
are
the
things
that
we
commit
to
providing
for
you.
You
might
want
to
reach
out
to
Helen
who's,
been
chatting
and
doing
a
lot
of
work
on
on
children,
comfort,
food,
a
care
system
and
talk
about
how
actually
that
could
be
built
into
that
and
making
sure
that
people
are
dropping
through
through
the
gaps.
C
I
mean
my
reflection
on
on
on
people
who
do
suffer
from
health.
Inequalities
is
often
it
can
be
about
substandard
services
in
all
of
the
moment,
but
often
it's
people
falling
into
the
gaps
in
between
services
and
existing
in
a
limbo
and
not
having
a
social
capital
to
navigate
those
periods
of
service
limbo.
That
compound
the
inequalities
in
health.
People
suffer
through
their
lives.
So
why
don't
you
reach
out
to
Helen
and
have
a
chat
about
how
we
can
strengthening
the
system
offering
to
see.
K
My
question
second
question:
firstly,
thank
you
very
much
for
your
response
and
I
do
feel
really
encouraged
to
see
that
brister's
prepared
to
go
above
and
beyond,
and
us
genuine.
Actually.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Speaking
of
someone
who
had
a
care
leaver
with
him
living
with
me
under
the
supported
lodgings
scheme,
I
know
firsthand
how
tough
it
is
for
young
people
to
find
their
way
in
the
world,
and
a
little
ongoing
support
will
certainly
help.
Can
the
mayor
give
me
some
indication
about
what
this
strategy
might
be
when
the
strategy
might
be
implemented.
L
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
answer,
yeah
just
to
say
that
my
personal
experience
of
Bristol
energy
is
that
my
bill
went
down
to
sixty
percent
of
what
it
was
when
I
changed.
The
Bristol
energy
and
a
another
friend
told
me.
Yes,
a
similar
experience
really
so
I
would
just
say
because
of
the
constraints
on
Bristol
energy,
from
advertising
of
advertising
because
of
competition
law,
it's
not
easy
for
them
to
advertise
in
our
kind
of
outlets.
Children's
centers
and
everything
I
think
it's
really
good.
L
C
Appreciate
Don
I
mean
is
that
the
point
I
think
I'm
sure
I
remember
a
few
capsule
meetings
below
saying
with
the
seven,
the
elected
members,
the
network
of
voluntary
sector
organizations.
In
fact,
I'd
say
what
we've
got
12,000
members
of
the
Labour
Party.
If
you
count
up
all
the
members
of
political
parties
across
the
city,
we
could
organize
switching
days
in
our
wards.
I
might
read
in
line
there
with
what
I'm
allowed
to
encourage
people
to
do
with
their
energy
supply.
C
I
don't
know,
but
these
these
things
could
be
organized
in
community
venues
reaching
out
to
to
neighborhoods
on
the
street
level
or
on
a
community
level
to
make
sure
people
are
in
a
position
to
make
wise
decisions
about
their
their
energy
supplies.
All
I
would
say
is
as
well
and
I
appreciate
you
pointing
out
this
fits
within
two
big
campaigns.
We've
got
going
and
going
on
in
the
city
as
well
that
are
absolutely
interrelated
and
essential.
C
One
is
that
we
have
launched
this
campaign
now
to
end
fuel
poverty
in
Bristol
and
again,
it's
not
just
about
wearing
a
badge
and
make
it
a
statement
it's
about.
How
do
we
actually
deliver
that
25,000
homes,
twenty-five
thousand
households
gonna,
be
cold,
this
winter
absolute
City
commitment
to
tackling
that
is
essential,
and
we
know
that
people
are
faced
with
that
decision,
do
I
heat
or
do
I
eat
and
at
the
same
time,
just
a
few.
C
A
couple
of
months
ago
we
had
the
launch
of
the
The
Hunger
a
campaign
to
end
hunger
in
the
city,
with
some
of
our
fantastic
councillors
from
Bristol
and
and
some
of
the
local
based
organizations,
as
well
as
part
of
feed
Britain.
Now
we
have
feed
Bristol.
Tackling
those
two
drives
will
be
absolutely
essential
to
making
this
a
much
more
Justin
and
fair
city
to
live
in,
and
any
councillors
are
more
than
welcome
to
come
and
join
and
be
a
part
of
that.
A
M
C
Well,
I'm
working
in
sensitive
areas
at
the
moment,
there's
the
desire
to
obviously
the
the
challenge
we
face
on
an
ongoing
basis
as
you'll
be
aware
of
working
with
a
democratic
institution
dealing
with
commercially
sensitive
material.
So
you
know
what
we
have
to
do
is
is
trade
those
tight
ropes
all
the
time,
but
certainly
from
my
perspective,
as
soon
as
we
are
able
to
shave,
is
to
share
information
in
a
safe
way
that
won't
harm
the
city
or
harm
the
ability
Council
to
get
things
done
and
I
will.
M
N
Yep,
thank
you.
Some
interesting
in
detail
answers
there.
So
thanks
for
those,
however
I,
don't
think
you've,
specifically
arts
answered
my
question
one,
but
reading
between
the
lines,
I
think
what
you're
saying
is
that
the
answer
is
no.
The
council
doesn't
have
a
policy
specifically
on
public
rights
in
the
pseudo
public
spaces.
Is
that
right.
N
C
Can
we
can
talk
about
what
we
do
in
response
to
that?
That's
not
a
problem,
but
you
know
we
can
certainly
with
you
know,
with
the
planning
we're
doing
around
our
spatial
plan
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
with
Tom
and
master
plan
in
the
city
right
now
and
access
to
public
space.
We
can
take
that
into
account
and
you'd
be
welcome
to
be
part
of
that
group.
O
They
could
all
map
and
thank
you
for
your
responses.
I
have
a
supplementary
I,
never
shrink
away
from
making
a
decision
which
your
answer
seems
to
suggest.
I
was
but
I'm
not
prepared
to
make
a
decision
on
fanciful
information
and
lack
of
information
and
no
information
at
all,
given
during
a
consultation
period
to
my
residents
and
when
I
asked
officers
how
this
was
to
be
accommodated
and
would
there
be
review
so
I
could
make
a
decision
and
then
we
could
review
it.
They
told
me
that
you
had
said
there
were
no
reviews.
O
C
O
O
C
Yeah
we
we're
not
planning
to
roll
out
further
reviews,
because
we've
reviewed
all
the
parking
zones
already
that's
what
that's.
What
we
did
all
counselors
with
a
parking
zone
in
their
area
had
the
opportunity
to
review
it
and
reshape
it
in
line
with
what
they
felt
their
their
community
needed
in
line
with
our
ability
to
to
pay
for
the
changes
that
are
being
asked
for
so
there
aren't
by
definition,
those
reviews
have
been
done.
C
There
are
no
more
to
be
had
now
going
back
to
catch
to
the
Firdos
point
point
earlier
on
and
if
you
can
amass
overwhelming
support
and
it
can
be
afforded
and
it
fits
within
the
time
to
to
have
them
it
brought
in
in
areas
in
which
they
are
not.
Then
that's
that's
on
the
table,
but
we've
reviewed
them
all.
So
there's
no
need
for
me
to
to
decree
anything
as
though
you
know
I'm
not
holding
a
position.
You
know
there's
lots
of
imagery
around
that,
and
necessarily
but
I.
Don't
I.
P
C
Certainly
got
be
within
the
model,
and
this
is
again.
This
is
one
of
the
areas
in
which
government
are
encouraging
us
and
actually
I.
Think
you
know
from
my
point,
is
when
I'm
talking
to
government
about
one
in
two
get
some
of
our
big
infrastructure
funded.
One
of
the
first
questions
is
gonna,
be
what
have
you
already
done?
You
know
I'm
just
bobbling,
just
pitching
up
the
government's
own
pay
for
it.
What
have
you
already
done?
P
C
I
well,
I,
think
I,
think
Transport,
like
housing
and
health.
Well,
then,
put
it
this
way
ran
the
markets
can
be
useful,
but
not
everywhere.
The
markets
need
to
be
in
their
place,
and
you
have
to
look
at
some
things
as
though
they
are
a
public,
essential,
I.
Think
education
is
a
public
essential
that
we
need
to
guarantee
an
offer
on,
and
the
government
is
absolutely
essential
in
that
health
is
a
is
a
public
essential
and
we
need
government
to
guarantee
essential
that
can't
be
left
to
the
market.
C
I
will
suggest
that
housing
is
another
area
that
stripped
into
that
now.
We've
known
that
the
market
is
not
delivered,
housings
not
delivered
communities,
it's
not
delivered
settled
cities
and
actually
leaving
housing
solely
up
to
the
free
market,
as
we
have
so
so
far
with
this
you
know,
purging
of
public
housing
has
left
us
in
a
precarious
situation
in
which
our
economic
development
is
now
not
sustainable,
because
our
economic
growth
by
definition,
drives
up
house
prices
and
drives
gentrification
undermines
the
very
opportunity
to
house
the
workforces
that
are
needed
for
the
economy.
C
I
think
Transport
tips
into
that
when
you
think
about
connectivity
when
you
think
about
the
impact
on
air
quality,
can
you
think
about
culture?
So
I
think
it's
a
bold
move,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
profit
money
can't
come
into
a
partnership
with
it.
We
have
to
look
at
what
those
models
models
involved
at
the
local
level.
I
want
to
get
things
done
and
working
with
government
work
with
private
sets.
Q
Thank
you
within
your
answer.
You've
cited
that
there
are
a
few
different
organizations
who
seem
to
be
also
administering
this
or
trying
to
carry
out
this
project
and
I
think
there
may
be
some
confusion
there,
because
it's
my
understanding
that
the
city
of
sanctuary
has
not
received
funds
from
the
controlling
migration
fund
itself,
so
that
that's
something
I'd
like
you
to
look
into
I'm,
also
interested
to
know.
Are
there
KPIs
in
relation
to
the
number
of
British
rough
sleepers
that
but
I'd
like
you
to
be
removed?
Okay,.
G
Q
Then
further
to
that,
your
answer
only
touches
on
the
rough
sleeper
element
and
I'd
like
to
get
some
reassurances
around.
Also,
the
rogue
landlord
element
of
the
fund,
and
also
you
seem
to
the
council-
is
distancing
itself
from
immigration
enforcement
on
this
and,
of
course,
you've
talked
about
us
being
a
city
of
sanctuary
that
it
doesn't
impinge
on
that
status,
but
I'd
like
reassurance
that
if
we
do
have
any
cases
that
do
seem
to
do
that,
whether
we
could
review
our
collaboration
here
with
the
home
office.
C
Q
Q
C
Q
C
So
when
I,
when
this
first
came
up
and
I
would
say,
don't
believe,
will
you
read
in
the
paper
as
well
and
we
can
come
to
that
in
a
minute
when
this
first
came
up
and
not
and
I
made
and
I
called
in
and
saw
absolute
assurance
that
our
officers
would
not
be
behaving
in
a
way
like
g4s
or
colluding?
You
know
in
this
kind
of
you
know,
oppressive.
C
You
know
aggressive
activity
to
check
people
out,
so
the
branding
the
imagery
you
know
it
feeds
those
people
who
want
to
portray
themselves
as
the
revolutionaries,
but
it's
not
actually
the
way.
It's
working
and
I
had
a
long
chat,
wid
forward
and
said
what's
going
on
here.
What's
your
perspective,
there's
a
couple
of
things:
one
is
the
I
got
a
text
from
him
on
my
other
phone,
upstairs
certainly
I'll
get
money.
Secondly,
I
actually
went
out
with
the
streetwise
team
to
see
what
they
do.
C
The
two
people
that
were
there
had
the
story
told
about
them
in
the
paper.
Again,
it
wasn't
a
straightforward,
I
think,
there's
another
story
about
a
homeless
person.
That's
not
as
straightforward
as
it
was
initially
in
the
papers
of
the
day.
One
of
them
actually
is
a
council
tenant
and
has
a
property,
but
only
spends
one
night,
every
two
weeks
in
that
property.
So
actually
the
team
are
saying
what
benefits?
Should
you
be
it
and
it
is
it
an?
It
is
an
assertive
outreach,
but
these
are
the
benefits
you
should
be
receiving.
C
Are
you
getting
them
and
we
have
a
responsibility
with
with
a
housing
crisis
to
to
weigh
up
like
you
know,
what's
going
on
in
people's
lives,
we
have
people
who
would
like
that
flat.
There
is
empty
most
of
time
because
someone's
living
on
the
streets
up
in
Bedminster
up
in
Clifton,
so
this
is
these-
are
the
kind
of
complexities
around
this
that
are
not
being
brought
out
in
the
piece.
C
Okay,
I'll
have
a
look.
I
love
a
look
around
it
around
the
Cape
guys,
but
I'm
saying
there
was
a
lot
of
imagery
and
branding
around
this
program
that
wasn't
wasn't
particularly
accurate.
So
we've
saw
absolute
assurance
that
were
acting
in
line
with
a
city
exactly
because
that
was
mentioned
and
because
they
quoted
someone
from
city,
exactly
I
said
it
undermined
it.
That
was
the
first
assurance
I
saw
and
I
went
out
with
a
team
to
look
at
it,
but
we
do
need
to
know
at
what's
going
on
here.
We're.
C
Let
me
just
say
one
other
thing
about
about
homelessness
as
well,
so
we've
done
a
lot
of
work.
Obviously,
we've
made
a
big
priority
around
housing
and
homes
and
homelessness
as
well,
that
one
of
that
one
of
the
things
that
one
of
the
leading
homelessness
Charities
in
a
city
have
said
to
me
is
sometimes
the
best
thing
you
can
do
to
someone
who
is
vulnerable
on
your
streets
is
say:
where
are
your
family?
Where
do
they
live?
Let
me
get
you
back
to
your.
Let
me
get
you
back
to
your
family.
C
While
someone
is
on
the
street
with
no
social
capital
with
no
support,
they
are
vulnerable
to
exploitation,
be
that
sexual
or
slave
labour,
getting
them
back
to
their
social
network
is
essential.
Now
that
could
mean
supporting
people
to
go
back
to
their
family
in
Leeds.
It
could
be,
as
one
of
the
stories
is,
supporting
them
to
get
back
to
their
family
in
Lisbon,
where
their
brother
was
waiting
for
him
at
the
airport.
Would
rehab
services
on
tap
where
they
could
begin
to
rebuild
their
lives
that
wasn't
going
to
happen
on
the
streets
of
Bristol.
Q
C
We'll
get
we'll
get
we'll
get
more
detail
to
you
on
that
and
all
your
life,
but
please
don't
I,
know
I,
noticed
some
comments.
You
made
again
the
thing
that
forward
said
was-
and
you
can
check
this
with
him-
that
the
way
this
service
was
talked
about
could
deter
very
vulnerable
people
from
engaging
with
services
that
will
actually
give
them
a
pathway
out
their
vulnerability.
R
You
Lord
Mayor
supplementary
to
question
one
on
the
moving
of
the
Metro
bus
route
and
I'm
a
bit
disappointed
by
this
question.
It
looks
as
if
you're
hiding
behind
officers,
I
thought
I
thought.
You
know
you're
very
much
about
political
leadership
and
ownership.
The
team
have
said
they've
been
ordered
to
move
the
Metro
bus
route.
So
can
I
simply
ask
you
who
has
given
that
order.
Yeah.
C
I'll
find
out
specific
name
for
you.
Tim
I
mean
I,
like
the
kind
of
it
was
a
two-step.
You
put,
you
claim
to
lead
and
you're
not
involved
in
all
the
detail.
I'm
not
involved
in
all
the
detail,
and
you
know
being
a
experienced
political
leader
in
a
city
yourself.
You'll
know
that
some
of
the
technical
aspects
you
have
to
have
the
expert
soon,
but
we'll
get
the
name
for
you.
No
problem.
Thank.
C
R
S
Just
I
wanted
to
come
back
with,
with
800
new
homes
being
built
shortly
and
Lockleys.
Our
community
development
team
are
really
trying
hard
to
get
a
vibrant
kind
of
community
around
games
per
square,
as
you
say
in
your
question
and
they're
already
planning
for
library
space
in
the
new
development.
But
the
problem
is
that
we
have
to
somehow
get
from
where
we
are
now
to
that
future
time
and
and
keep
a
library
search
service
alive
in
Lockleys
estate
area
and
the
Lockleys
library
actually
has
no
future.
S
What
I'd
like
to
ask
is
whether
Estella
and
myself
could
meet
with
a
library
team
and
perhaps
Sasha
to
discuss
how
these
community's
resources
could
be
adapted
to
the
individual
communities
according
to
their
needs,
because
we
know
that
they,
the
voluntary
organizations,
are
going
to
need
more
help
than
is
currently
available,
but
they
may
be
able
to
do
more
if
they
get
a
bit
more
support.
So
I'd
like
to
request
that
meeting,
if
possible,.
C
Absolutely
I
mean
welcome
to
meet
with
councillor
Craig
and
the
library,
team
and
I
think
that
again,
why
value
as
as
local
councillors,
as
well
as
helping
make
that
connectivity
into
that
social
capital,
those
social
networks
that
are
in
the
area?
Obviously
I
have
a
friend
up
there
as
well
in
Dave
Jill,
who
actually
said
that
he
was
he
for
some
time
has
really
been
in
stood
in
the
library
service
as
an
offer,
and
maybe
looking
at
the
library
with
some
computer
access
and
job
and
financial
support
as
well.
C
A
T
Thank
you,
Lord
Mayor
I
was
going
to
congratulate
Marvin
on
the
direction
of
travel,
but,
as
he's
already
told
us,
he
has
no
involvement
in
the
detail.
I
shall
perhaps
direct
that
congratulations.
Our
councillor
Chaney
instead,
but
the
question
I
would
like
to
ask:
is
those
payments
listed?
Are
you
able
to
assure
me
that
all
those
payments
are
in
line
with
the
appropriate
pay
policy,
as
approved
by
full
council?
It
was
operating
at
the
time
those
payments
were
made.
Jeff.
C
C
The
case
we're
acting
in
line
we're
acting
in
line
with
our
you
know
our
policy
and
what
we're
actually
doing
is
bringing
some
real
rigour
to
the
organization's
finances.
As
you
know,
it's
been
a
very
challenging
challenging
introduction
catch
their
trainee
I'm.
What
I'm
not
gonna,
do
still
a
funder.
He
has
been
phenomenal
in
coming
in
in
a
role
and
was
bringing
a
lot
of
credibility,
we're
getting
our
plaudits
from
the
LGA
and
outside
bodies
as
well,
so
yeah,
I'm,
very
confident,
but
actually
in
terms
of
those
internal
processes.
C
That
mean
that
we
don't
end
up
in
a
crisis
of
finance,
governance
and
culture
that
we
and
we
inherited.
That
will
we'll
avoid
those
going
into
the
future.
That
doesn't
mean
we
don't
need
to
be
in
constant
review.
I
do
think
they're
all
gonna
be
challenges
around
pay
as
they
relate
to
our
ability
to
recruit
the
kind
of
staff
that
are
gonna
be
able
to
manage
the
billion
the
the
multi-billion
pound
lines
of
investment
that
we're
trying
to
try
to
recruit
to
the
city,
but
confident
that
we're
getting
on
top
of
all
our
internal
processes.
T
Thinking
on
my
second
supplementary,
though
I'm
not
quite
sure
how
I
caused
offense,
then
because
I
was
trying
to
pass
a
compliment
but
whatever
what?
What
I?
What
I
would
like
to
have
clarified
and
I
do
not
expect
that
to
be
now
and
I
realize
it
will
need
some
some
investigation,
but
I
would
like
to
know
of
the
hundred
and
one
agency
workers
in
July
17
how
many
of
those
are
on
a
day
rate
of
600
pounds
a
day
or
more
I'm.
A
E
Thank
you
Lord,
my
yes
I'm
sure.
Most
of
us
don't
want
the
cuts
forced
on
the
city
by
austerity
which
you
refer
to
and
nevertheless
the
theme
of
your
budget
is
empowerment
and
what
I
drew
attention
to
was
the
fact
that
taking
away
Community,
Grants,
taking
away
Community
Development
and
asking
people
to
take
on
more
in
their
locality,
removing
removing
the
means
that
enable
them
to
to
achieve
more.
E
At
a
time
of
less
funding,
it's
going
to
be
very,
very
difficult,
and
you
have
a
feeling
you've
conflated,
the
concept
of
asset
based
Community
Development,
which
is
actually
about
supporting
people
in
their
strengths,
with
community
asset
transfer,
which
is
asking
people
to
take
on
or
letting
people
take
on,
the
management
of
a
community
facility
which
actually
needs
people
to
be
supported,
and
it
probably
needs
grants.
It
needs
community
development
work.
E
It
needs
the
empowerment
to
be
backed
up
by
some
substance
and
I'm
concerned
that
that
you
aren't
offering
any
support
by
reducing
the
work
that
is
being
done
on
asset
based,
Community
Development,
which
is
the
public
health
work
and
the
community
development
budget.
They're
both
proposed
to
be
cut
in
the
budget
in
the
budget,
and
so
are
the
grants
that
community
groups
gain
confidence
from
so
are
we
are
we
not?
Are
you
asking
people
to
do
an
awful
lot
more
with
an
awful
lot
less
by
taking
away
this
support?
That's
actually
available?
C
That
was
the
warning
that
came
out
of
the
black
radical
is
have
been
in
96,
these
which
I'm
sure
you'd
be
interested
in
reading
about
in
a
night
you
know
in
the
United
States
moving
from
segregation
and
Jim
Crow
into
that
pursuit
of
what
does
it
mean
to
be
politically
and
economically
powered?
Clearly,
there
needed
to
be
some
restitution
to
make
up
for
the
political
and
economic
deficits
which
meant
which
meant
interventions.
C
Well,
actually,
the
pathway
to
genuine
empowerment
was
not
going
to
be
led
by
the
federal
government.
So
there
was,
there
are
some.
There
are.
Some
things
that
we
have
to
take
into
account
is
some
nuance
within
there,
but
what
I
would
also
say
is
the
reason
we
continue
to
talk
about.
Empowerment
is
not
because
we
agree,
because
clearly
we
think
this
is
a
problem
when
we
say
there's
a
cost
of
the
cuts.
C
I
was
talking
to
my
own
shadow,
Dee
seulji
Minister
today
and
saying
the
government
has
not
really
taken
any
account
at
the
cost
of
the
cuts,
and
you
go
in
there
long
chat
about
this.
But
we
are
not
the
only
organization
in
the
city
that
shaped
Bristol
if
we've
entered
into
the
master
planning
of
Temple
Meads.
C
If
we
manage
to
get
temple
needs
to
go
ahead
and
if
we
managed,
which
would
be
a
couple
hundred
million
pounds
of
development,
and
we
managed
to
line
up
local
labor
and
local
businesses
to
be
at
the
front
end
of
getting
those
jobs
in
those
contracts
that
will
empower
people
there'll,
be
a
steady
supply
of
good
jobs.
If
we
do
manage
to
go
ahead
and
all
the
feasibility
study
stack
up
around
the
underground,
that
would
be
a
steady
supply
of
local
jobs
that
be
income,
decent
jobs.
C
That
and
we'll
work
with
the
unions
to
make
sure
that
that's
the
case
that
will
be
empowerment,
city
council
services
are
part,
are
one
lever
among
many
hundreds
that
shape
life
in
Bristol,
as
are
the
National
Health
Service,
and
the
way
they
contract,
as
are
the
voluntary
sector
organisations,
criminal
justice
system.
So
when
I
talked
about
the
city
plan
before
we're
here
on,
what
we're
talking
about
is
how
we
move
beyond
the
myopic
belief
that
everything
in
a
city
begins
and
ends
with
the
City
Council.
A
C
There's
an
absolute
impact
of
austerity.
We
said
we
can't
do
this
without
people
being
impacted,
but
what
I
would
say
on
our
on
our
budget
proposals.
We're
putting
out
is
we've
taken
them.
We've
taken
as
many
savers
as
we
can
from
internal
efficiencies.
What
I
don't
mind
and
you'll
be
welcome
to
contribute
to
it,
we're
in
the
process
of
trying
to
source
new
money.
There's
a
church
is.
