A
Welcome
today,
today's
meeting
can
I,
please
remind
you
that
this
meeting
is
being
webcast.
Please
use
the
microphones.
I
now
need
to
remind
you
of
the
procedural
arrangements
for
the
member
forum,
full
details
of
the
questions
and
the
globe
mess
with,
and
the
mayor's
replies
have
been
circulated
and
will
also
be
displayed
on
the
screen
as
we
work
through
them.
Groups
have
has
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.
A
A
A
B
You
very
much
Jill,
so
health
and
social
care
partners
across
Bristol,
South,
Gloucestershire
and
North
Somerset
have
had
discussions
around
the
impact
of
Western
aney
aney
nighttime
closure
on
A&E
delivery
board
and
urgent
care
forum.
So
there's
been
detailed,
modeling
and
impact
modeling
between
the
three
acute
trusts
and
the
local
CCGs,
and
a
shared
action
plan
is
in
place
which
has
been
agreed
with
NHS
England.
It
has
not
been
presented
any
specific
risks
to
the
local
authority
and
since
the
closure
took
place,
the
number
of
patients
that
have
been
diverted
to
other
trusts.
C
D
Thank
you,
a
man
and
yes,
I,
I
think
what
the
main
thing
I
want
to
just
come
back
on
with.
That
is
that,
although
all
this
modeling
has
taken
place
by
NHS,
England
I
think
we
very
much
need
to
see
the
actual
evidence
over
a
period
of
time
before
any
decision
is
made
regarding
the
future
of
Western
A&E
I
am
a
little
worried
that
they
might
take
this
opportunity
to
make
it
a
permanent
closure.
D
B
Is
I
mean
you'll,
know
Joe,
we've
just
revamped
the
whole
health
and
wellbeing
board
and
yet
that's
to
be
implemented,
but
I
feel
as
a
board.
It
needs
to
take
much
more
proactive,
might
have
a
much
more
proactive
hand
on
the
populations,
health
and
everything
around
it,
including
services
and
external
factors
that
will
impact
on
the
health
of
Bristol's
population
and
our
services
and
the
way
our
city
functions.
So
I
should
think,
that's
perfectly
possible
to
do
we'll,
make
sure
what
I
guess
chased
up.
D
Supplementary
or
my
second
question:
that's:
okay,
just
a
brief
one.
I'd
also.
This
is
in
regard
to
the
difficulty
in
attracting
medical
staff
to
Western
and
other
hospitals
in
the
country.
I
wanted
to
ask
whether
the
mayor
will
do
all
he
can
to
ensure
that
yiyu
national
is
working
in
Bristol's
health
services
will
be
able
to
stay
working
here
and
that
we
continue
to
be
able
to
attract
highly
qualified
medical
staff.
B
We
can
we
can
look
at
that.
I
mean
just
a
about
an
hour
ago.
I
jumped
off
the
train
having
come
back
from
the
cool
cities
in
Manchester,
and
what
is
really
pleasing
is
that,
as
a
network
of
cities,
we
are
taking
a
position
whereby
we
don't
just
produce
technical
documents
and
respond
to
government,
but
we
actually
begin
to
set
our
city's
agenda
and-
and
you
know,
issues
such
as
how
we
make
sure
that
we
get
the
workforce.
E
B
E
B
B
I,
don't
I
can't
talk
to
there's
very
specific
ones
that
you've
just
mentioned,
but
I
have
asked,
because
we've
had
a
number
of
requests
you
and
the
consultations
that
we
do
a
piece
of
a
very
pub
of
publicly
available
work
to
to
tell
the
stories
of
how
libraries
have
been
run
in
other
areas
to
help
people
with
that
option,
which
is
none
of
the
above,
but
here's
another
idea
if
you've
got
some
up
we'd
welcome.
Hearing
from
those
as
well.
Okay,.
E
B
I'm
hoping
it
will
be
easy
to
pull
people
in
our
city
office
gathering
just
the
other
day.
Actually,
we
were
looking
with
that
with
the
team
that
run
our
volunteers
about
helping
the
whole
city
with
more
volunteers.
You
know,
because
we
need
to
sit
you
to
step
up
right
now
because
of
the
challenges
we
face.
So
I
hope
that
our
machinery
around
making
sure
that
people
who
have
time
and
inclination
to
help
the
city
have
all
the
support
they
need.
A
F
I
just
wanted
to
say
well
some
of
the
members
opposite.
We've
actually
organized
a
meeting
tomorrow
with
the
Association
of
yeah
love,
libraries,
but
the
association
of
libraries
and
information
that
the
CEO
can't
attend,
but
he's
sending
a
senior
manager
so
that
we
can
talk
about
other
options.
But
one
of
the
discussions
in
the
discussion
that
I
held
with
mr.
F
Pope
a
couple
of
weeks
ago-
and
some
will
say
otherwise-
but
he
had
said
of
all
of
the
consultations
that
he
had
read
and
contributed
to
ours-
was
one
of
the
best
because
he
said
it
was
quite
clear.
It
didn't
it
didn't.
It
was
clear
to
the
point
that
we
were.
It
was
about
cuts.
We
were
driven
by
cuts
and
I.
Think
the
the
issue
that
I've
been
raising
at
our
consultation
meetings
is
about
in
the
with
the
best
will
in
the
world.
F
We
would
have
liked
to
have
been
in
a
position
where
we
were
driving.
Transformational
change
around
libraries,
but
because
of
that
the
cost
pressures
but
I
think
the
residents
the
citizens
of
Bristol
they've
come
forward
with
some
really
really
interesting
and
good
ideas
and
I've
asked
officers
to
actually
look
and
consider
those
as
part
of
the
process.
So
we
welcome
all
comments
and
hopefully
some
more
suggestions
will
come
out.
Tomorrow's
meeting.
G
Thank
you,
Lord
Mayor,
I'm,
glad
to
see
that
there's
going
to
be
a
consultation
on
the
proposed
cuts
to
the
street
tree
budget.
My
supplementary
czar
I
understand
that
Zurich
is,
or
at
least
was
the
council's
insurer
for
trees,
subsidence
and
damages
to
property
was
Zurich
or,
if
it's
not
them
anymore.
Whoever
the
current
insurer
is
consulted
over
the
decision
to
stop
the
street
tree
maintenance,
I.
B
G
Thank
you,
and
in
that
case
and
I
suspect
you
would
be
able
to
answer
this
on
the
hoof.
But
another
thing
I'd
like
answered
in
that
written
answer
is:
will
the
responsible
offer
officer
warrant
that
the
insurance
remains
valid
to
cover
a
claim
by
a
householder
or
a
wheelchair
user?
For
example?
The
consequence
will
damage
or
injury
from
subsidence
from
a
street
tree
no.
B
H
Thank
you,
Lord
man,
mr.
Merrick
can
I
ask
take
first.
Thank
you
for
your
answer.
It's
very
full
in
your
actually
clearly
states
that
the
budget
are
agreed
in
February
was
to
note
appendix
six
which
had
the
future
year
cuts
in.
In
fact,
what
we
agreed
was
two
notes
appendix
six,
but
we
specifically
agreed
appendix
one,
which
was
the
actual
cuts
for
the
1718
budget,
he's
very
clear
that
council
did
not
agree
any
future
year
budget
cuts.
Yet
the
statement.
H
B
With
the
best
will
in
the
world,
I
checked
checked'
myself,
rather
than
taking
it
from
yourself
counselor
Ken.
Let's
have
a
look,
but
my
sense
is
that
our
consultation
has
been
done
excellently.
Nothing
is
perfect.
I'd
have
my
own
issues
with
the
way
consultations
have
been
done
in
the
city
in
the
past,
including
when
you
guys
are
in
charge,
but
no
I'm
we're
pressing
ahead
and
I,
but
I'll
make
sure
that
we're
as
rigorous
as
we
can
about
all
the
details
in
this
consultation.
H
B
H
Consultations
I
think
that
was
a
good
step,
but
I
do
hope.
You
will
go
back
to
look
at
that,
because
it
is
a
fundamental
difference
to
what
the
consultation
is
saying.
Finally,
on
the
issue,
my
second
question,
which
was
regarding
hen
Grove
in
which
Church
Park
the
library
and
which
church
you
states
that,
in
your
answer,
that
people
can
put
in
other
options,
but
I've
got
to
say
I
think
I
should
pass
on.
H
Everyone
is
very
worried
that,
before
that
lots
of
options
are
closed
down
by
saying
that
we
have
we
have,
we
are
disregarding
the
idea
of
using
volunteers
in
our
libraries
that
very
much
reduces
down
the
options
to
residents
and
I.
Think
some
makes
its
rather
than
a
consultation
to
looking
into
new
ideas
really
of
trying
to
set
one
community
against
another
on
trying
to
save
their
library.
I'm
sure
that
was
not
your
intention,
but
that
is
how
the
consultation
comes
across
them
at
many
of
us.
Thank
you.
Well,.
B
You
can
interpret
the
consultation
like
that
if
you
wish
it's,
certainly
not
my
intention
to
play
off
one
community
against
the
other.
In
fact,
we've
been
very
strong,
even
in
asking
people
to
come
up
with
solutions
to
think
about
the
knock-on
effects
of
championing
individual
causes
within
each
individual
wards,
and
we
had
that
talk
about
that
in
in
in
my
office
with
you
with
yourself
about
that.
So
no,
we
don't
want
to
set
communities
off
against
each
other.
B
What
I
would
say
to
is
you
know
our
consultation
papers
are
part
of
the
way
for
the
city
to
engage
with
City
decision-making
and
by
the
way,
it's
not
just
with
the
City
Council.
But
you
know,
everyone
in
this
chamber
is
a
part
of
that.
You
know
you're
perfectly
at
liberty
to
to
go
into
the
community
to
develop
ideas
and
propositions
and
bring
them
to
me,
and
you
know,
and
to
the
cabinet
lead
and
to
make
the
case.
I
Ok,
supplementary
I'll
just
ask
the
mayor
if
he
agrees
that
were
in
this
situation
because
of
government
policy
on
the
sale
and
restrictions
of
council
house
building
and
also
when
we
regard
to
your
discussions
with
other
core
cities
and
discussions
with
the
relevant
Department
government
department.
Do
you
think
that
the
government
is
now
receptive
to
the
idea
of
reducing
the
restrictions
on
building
and
the
building
of
council
housing
to
replenish
our
stock
that
we
have
to
sell
due
to
right
to
buy?
Well.
B
There
are
many
things
that
happen
in
our
city
that
are
not
within
the
control
of
Bristol
City
Council.
Despite
what
many
people
would
how
many
people
would
like
to
position
themselves
because
it
allows
them
to
to
pursue
the
to
pursue
the
cause,
but
no
I
mean
do
we
have
to
make
our
case
to
government
all
the
time
and
obviously,
with
the
with
the
call
cities?
Last
night,
and
today
we
know
protracted
conversation
around
how
we
better
position
ourselves
to
make
sure
the
voices
of
cities
are
heard.
I
mean
a
classic
example,
is
over
brexit.
B
You
know
we
can
confirm
that
the
Secretary
of
State
has
not
once
proactively,
come
and
spoke
to
any
of
the
core
cities
about
what
we
need
from
the
brexit
negotiations,
which
is
a
which
is
an
absolute
tragedy
which
is
come
an
agreed
amongst
all
of
us.
As
for
governments,
receptiveness
I,
think
that's
that's
an
interesting
one.
I
think
it
sometimes
it's
difficult
to
talk
about
government
as
a
whole,
because
different
ministers
and
different
teams
have
different
cultures
and
different
attitudes.
B
So
you
know
when
we
find
those
good
relationships
that
we
have
to
be
I,
think
that
we
will
be
in
a
better
position
to
gets
things
done,
but
that
doesn't
take
away
from
the
overarching
narrative,
which
is
one
of
this
investment
from
CES.
That
undermines
our
the
the
opportunities
that
we
have
to
invest
in
both
the
human
capital,
the
human
assets
I'm
going
to
call
it
because
I
know
someone
went
online
moaning
about
me
talking
about
human
assets,
but
hey
I'm.
B
Gonna
say
it
again:
if
he's
offended
he's
offended
investing
in
our
human
assets
and
our
physical
assets
in
a
city
as
well,
we
need
that
investment
to
unleash,
but
you'll
see
in
our
green
paper
that
we've
produced
with
the
core
cities
the
green
paper
on
cities.
That's
the
argument,
we're
making
with
a
pro
investment
paper
to
make
sure
that
we're
investing
in
cities
so
that
we
can
get
the
return
from
cities.
J
And
some
concern
about
what
is
going
on
with
our
street
trees
in
Bristol
that
we
all
are
very
much
and
are
so
important
to
air
quality
in
Bristol.
It's.
It
is
a
supplementary,
but
really
it's
more.
It's
a
repetition
of
my
question,
which
I
don't
think
was
answered.
We
have
some
very
well
regarded
tree
officers
who
work
for
Bristol,
City
Council
can
I
ask
why
they.
B
I'm
gonna
find
out
I
need
to
I've,
been
just
jumped
off
the
train
here.
Councillor,
let
me
go
find
mean
it's
a
pretty
supportive.
They,
you
know
when
you
keep
saying
it
becames
to
become
tired,
but
we
do
want
to
have
conversations
with
people.
We
don't
think
any
individual
has
all
the
truth.
No
party
has
all
the
truth.
No
movement
has
all
the
trees
right.
We
know
we
need
to
consult
and
draw
any
expert
easier
to
see.
So
so
let
me
let
me
find
out
what
went
on
there.
B
What
I
would
say,
though,
is
we
do
have
to
Strang
stand
strong
to
the
idea
that
we
have
a
financial
envelope
that
we
have
to
meet
and
if
we
don't
make
a
saving
in
area
a
we
have
to
make
it
an
area.
B
and
and
I'd
not
been
I'm
not
being
flippant
about
this,
but
when
someone
said
do
I
care
about
trees,
I
said
yeah,
but
I
also
care
about
challenges.
Mental
health
I'd
love
to
spend
more
on
that
I
care.
B
J
You'd
welcome
my
party's
input
and
solutions.
Well,
the
one
guidance
I
would
say
because
we're
talking
about
savings
and
we
want
savings
which
are
sustainable,
I,
think
my
concern
here
and
I'm
a
risk
manager
when
I'm
not
in
this
particular
chamber,
is
that
you
might
save
a
few
pounds
this
year,
which
is
important
but
you're,
storing
up
problems
for
the
future.
If
you
cut
the
tree
maintenance
mill
and.
B
I
agree
with
that,
but
I
think
that
that
characterization
of
savings
today
costing
us
money
in
the
future
goes
right
across
the
piece
say:
schools,
you
know
if
we
don't
spend
money
in
our
education
system,
you
know
both
in
terms
of
academic
attainment
and
emotional
health
that
turns
up
as
a
cost
think
about
50
percent
of
lifetime.
Mental
health
problems
start
before
the
age
of
14
of
50
percent.
Those
are
preventable
if
we're
not
providing
families
with
houses.
B
If
we're
not
given
the
support
services
that
help
people,
people
stay
in
houses,
if
we're
not
providing
the
services
that
help
people
increase
their
financial
literacy,
so
they
avoid
debt.
These
turn
up
its
costs
too.
So
saving
money
on
trees
will
cost
us
money.
It's
cutting
up
back
on
public
services
would
cost
us
money
and
it
was
one
of
the
the
papers.
B
I
wrote
when
I
was
in
public
health
and
I
was
shocked
actually
back
in
2011,
when
I
got
back
from
the
US
and
I
asked
one
of
our
public
health
leads
who
works
on
data?
Has
anyone
been
in
touch
with
public
health
and
asked?
What
is
the
cost
of
the
cuts?
What's
the
cost
of
austerity,
we
may
see
make
a
job
that
saved
us
40
thousand
pound,
but
it's
that
if
that
person
ends
up
depressed
down
the
GPS
on
antidepressants
family
falls
apart.
Those
of
other
services
kick
in.
K
Thank
You
mayor,
it's
possible,
I
might've
asked
the
wrong
question,
but
what
I'm
trying
to
get
to
is
it?
It's
a
suppose,
a
level
of
detail
down
from
the
answer
you've
given?
So
it's
more
it's
about
the
precise
process.
So,
for
example,
you
talk
about
councillors,
be
able
to
wear,
demonstrate
widespread
public
support,
so
that
might
mean
51%
might
mean
80%,
you
might
be
people
who
are
asked
or
the
residents
a
whole.
When
we
were
pursuing
this,
we
proposed
a
number
of
streets,
including
extension
job,
an
extension,
but
officers
came
back
and
said.
K
We
can't
have
that
it'd
have
to
be
a
natural
geographic
boundary,
so
be
a
different
area
from
the
ones
we
proposed.
So
I
guess.
My
question
is:
how
do
I
get
to
the
stage
of
having
that
level
of
detail
so
I
know
exactly
the
people
in
the
area
that
I'm
talking
about
in
any
other
area
of
our
PS
area
knows
exactly
what
they've
got
to
do.
Who
do
we
ask?
How
do
we
do
it
to.
B
A
catapult
I
mean
we
spent
a
lot
of
it.
We've
spent
a
lot
of
attention
just
and
undertaking
a
review
of
existing
schemes,
but
we
need
to
do
some
work
on
exactly
what
it
means
to
have
absolutely
endorsement.
I
think
the
principle
I
came
in
was
with
as
you'll
you'll
know,
because
we
talked
about
it,
we're
not
going
to
extend
up.
L
Thank
You
Velma
Thank
You
mayor
for
your
answers.
Would
you
agree
with
me
that
the
Community
Links
part
of
the
consultation
process
has
been
extremely
well
handled
and
actually
asked
questions
and
engages
with
people
which
shows
up
the
rest
of
the
consultation,
which
is
a
staggering
amount
of
lack
of
thought
and
one
single
intimidating
solution,
which
will
certainly
not
get
the
responses
in
the
second
boxes,
which
you
confidently
expect.
You.
B
Trick
well,
are
we
ready
for
it
next
time?
No
well,
thank
you
for
the
compliments
on
the
committee
links
and
obviously,
all
credit
to
an
anon
for
rolling
out
as
well.
I
wouldn't
agree,
it's
a
staggering
a
staggering
failure.
As
you
know,
we've
tried
to
be
frank.
We
have
to
put
something
out
there
remember
in
mind,
it's
a
consultation
and
we
give
people
some
options
to
work
with
I
mean
my
as
a
young
man,
I
think
I
think
I
learnt
you
know.
B
If
you
sit
around
with
a
blank
piece
of
paper
and
ten
people
and
try
and
build
something
bit
by
brick,
it
doesn't
get
done,
someone's
got
to
put
something
on
a
table
and
and
what
we've
done
is
have
our
people
put
something
on
the
table
and
in
fact,
what
I'm
saying
your
people
I
would
just
give
one
warning
I
think
that
we'd
all
push
it
over
and
it's
been
fed
back
to
me.
You
know
we
want
excellence
and
again
the
in
in
response
to
accounts
for
the
sergeant's
point
at
the
moment.
B
One
of
the
reasons
we've
we've
started
to
get
an
open
door
from
some
of
our
a
national
support
and
housing,
for
example,
is
because
they
know
that
we've
been
driven
on
delivery
and
we'll
have
some
more
exciting
news.
Hopefully
next
few
weeks
as
well,
so
we
want
excellence,
we're
not
gonna,
defend
anything,
there's
lack
in
excellence,
but
we
also
have
to
remember
that
we
have
a
workforce
and
we
have
to
make
sure
that
I
know
people
of
sweat
blood
and
tears
over
putting
this
consultation
together.
That's
not
me
hiding
behind
them.
L
Thank
you
for
that.
My
second
supplementary
is,
despite
the
very
full
answer
that
you've,
given
of
all
the
aspects
that
should
really
have
been
considered
in
this
process.
Why
is
it
that
the
documentation,
for
example,
on
libraries,
expressly
removes
the
item
which
you
said
is
important
to
consider,
which
is
volunteering,
which
would
actually
put
all
of
the
other
options
into
some
sort
of
perspective
and
now
has
been
eliminated
in
the
document
commended
by
you
subsequently
commended
by
the
executive
member
as
well?
It's
very
confusing.
Okay.
B
F
Think
that
the
point
that
we're
trying
to
make
in
the
consultation
document
is
that,
in
terms
of
the
use
of
volunteers,
it
we're
equating
that
to
the
running
of
any
statutory
provision.
That's
the
point
that
we're
trying
to
make
in
the
consultation
that
we
will
not
be
using
volunteers
to
run
any
statutory
provision
that
we
deliver
in
the
city.
M
M
I
usually
have
to
report
them
again
and
again
and
I
noticed
a
real,
quick
look
at
the
Web
today,
while
we've
been
in
the
chamber,
there
is
actually
one
still
on
there
from
April
2016,
not
when
I
report
it,
but
it's
still
there
is
this
ongoing
delay
as
a
result
of
the
lack
of
funding
for
this
particular
department,
and
please
can
we
get
it
speeded
up
because
it
is
really
upsetting
residents.
Thank
you.
I.
B
Mean
Brendon,
you
know,
one
of
our
kind
of
flagship
initiatives
has
been
about
cleaning
up
the
city
and
making
sure
and
actually
what
we
called
it
was
clean,
safe
streets
and
litter
doesn't
make
people
feel
good
fly-tipping,
Mesa
place,
feel
unsafe
and
certainly
abandoned
cars
do
as
well
and
again
that
kind
of
abandoned
air
to
it.
So
let's
have
a
look
at
what
we
can
do,
but
there
is,
there
is
I'd,
be
interested
in
a
couple
of
things
as
well.
B
Thinking
around
that,
as
how
do
we
move
upstream
in
this
one
is,
and
maybe
something
we
can.
We
can
talk
about
as
a
chamber
and
come
with
some
ideas,
so
I
imagine
many
abandoned
cars
would
probably
be
stolen.
They
want
to
talk
to
any
poor
conclusions
here.
How
do
we
get
upstream
of
car
theft
working
with
our
young
people
again
talking
about
cost
of
the
cuts?
If
we're
not
providing
extensive
view,
surfaces
and
diversionary
activities
and
good
quality
work
experience
all
the
things
that
we
want
to
spend
money
on.
B
We
end
up
with
a
cost
somewhere
else
in
the
system
so
get
an
upstream.
Others
would
be
essential
because
cleaning
up
the
city
costs
us
a
lot
of
money
that
we
can
be
put
into
much
more
productive
activities.
So
I
welcome
the
chance
of
doing
pursuing
this
one
with
you
and
any
other
councillors,
they'd
like
to
have
a
partner.
A
N
N
B
That's
my
hope.
We
said
it.
Obviously,
we've
had
to
you
know,
adjust
to
the
revealed
financial
situation
we
faced.
That
was
different
to
that
I
understood
we
had
when
I
first
came
in,
but
yeah
I
wanted
delivered
and
I
don't
want
a
spot,
but
did
you
have
any
thoughts
on
a
recycling
center
fee
Safeway.
O
Well,
we
are
the
very
early
stages,
unfortunately,
which
is
not
an
ideal
situation,
but
we
are
trying
to
engage
with
as
many
people
as
we
can
to
make
sure
it's
the
right,
reuse
and
recycling
center
and
I
probably
need
to
have
a
chat
with
you
about
it
actually
Richard.
If
that's
okay
with
all
of
you
as
well
Cheers.
P
Thank
you
very
much
I'm
in
two
minds
how
to
respond
with
her
supplementary
to
your
response.
Marvin,
because
you
said
it's
straightforward,
there's
a
basis
for
making
a
case
that
residents
would
like
or
would
not
like
a
parking
scheme
now
feel
myself
have
had
countless
emails
from
residents
saying
they
need
something
done.
There's
commuter
parking,
it's
causing
accidents,
it's
clogging
up
streets,
it's
a
risk
and
so
on.
We
think
that's
overwhelming
there's
been
virtually
no
negative
suggestions
about
in
skåne
being
introduced
whatsoever
other
than
one
road
about
half
a
mile
from
the
the
area.
P
Where
we're
getting
a
lot
of
emails.
Now
I've
met
with
cancer,
Jude
English
cancer,
Mike
Davis
over
many
months
to
work
out
how
to
progress.
The
scheme
that
you
say
there's
a
basis
for
going
forward
for
making
case.
We
met
with
your
cabinet
member
in
February
or
March
this
year
prior
to
the
reshuffle,
and
he
said
he
had
officers
working
up
the
basis
for
the
test.
The
test,
the
threshold.
Do
residents,
support
a
parking
scheme
or
not.
Can
we
then
work
out
what
kind
of
parking
scene
will
work
for
those
streets
in
for
those
residents?
P
He
said
it
would
take
two
or
three
weeks,
I
believe
in
the
meeting
we
had
with
Mike
Davis,
injured,
English
and
we're
still
waiting
it's
July
now
that
was
February
or
March.
So
what
is
the
test?
What
does
overwhelming
mean
us,
as
Charlie
Bond
said?
Is
it
fifty
one
percent
or
eighty
one
percent
we're
still
waiting,
and
apparently
it
was
being
worked
out
by
officers
back
back
at
the
end
of
winter
before
spring,
really
before
your
reshuffle
so
you've
taken
on
since
then,
where
is
the
test
that
we've
been
talking.
B
So
what
I
would
say
was
I
would
love
things
to
have
for
a
day,
I'd
love
them
to
happen
six
months
ago,
but
what
I
will
share
with
you?
I
won't
give
any
details.
There
were
some
things
that
happened
that
impacted
on
the
capacity
that
I
won't
share
with
you
here,
because
they're
all
very
personal
nature
not
to
me
but
to
people
doing
some
of
that
work.
So
that
meant
that
some
of
the
things
that
we
did
want
to
do
rounding
up
didn't
happen
as
quickly
as
we
would
have
liked
them
to
happen
around
Iran.
B
That
I
said
you
know.
Well,
obviously,
a
lot
of
attention
was
put
towards
what
we
said
we
would
do
was
deliver
a
review
of
the
op-eds,
a
counselor
to
review
of
the
Arby's
Ed's,
but,
as
I
said
to
Charlie,
I
will
go
away
and
now
we're
at
the
end
of
that
process.
Then
we
absolutely
lock
down
a
criteria,
but
it
quite
you
know,
but
clearly
to
me
that
the
old
news
music
around
Arby's
Ed's,
is
it's
led
by
you.
P
We
can
progress
because
we
were
told
there
were
means
for
financing
self
financing
these
Finn,
so
we've
been
holding
them
off
for
about
two
years
since
the
adjacent
scheme
came
in
in
redlund
and
the
year
since
the
adjacent
scheme
in
montpellier
came
so
we've
been
saying
we're
waiting
for
this
test
and
we're
waiting
to
go
forward,
but
we
think
there
would
be
funding.
How
long
do
you
think
realistically
I'm
not
asking
you
to
promise
something
you
can't
deliver,
but
what
is
the
realistic
promise
we
can
now
make
to
them?
So.
B
To
give
you
a
realistic
promise,
I'm
gonna
go
away
and
talk
to
the
team
about
this.
When
I
leave
here,
I
mean
it
won't
escape,
you
know,
is
there
there
are
a
number
of
things
going
on
and
we
do
have
to
prioritize
what
we
do
and
extending
the
RPC
edge.
It's
not
one
of
my
priority
commitments
to
the
city,
even
though
we
do
want
to
listen
to
residents
and
make
their
lives
convenient.
We
also
want
to
build
houses
and
make
sure
we
run
a
decent
consultation
around
our
budget.
B
Rm
TFP
made
sure
that
we're
getting
our
voices
heard
in
London
and
on
the
international
stage
at
the
GPM.
So
it's
just
about
it's
just
about
looking
at
the
capacity
of
the
team
to
get
these
things
done.
As
I
said,
if
we
ate,
if
we
had
limited
number
matter
staff,
we
get
it
all
done
yesterday,
but
we
don't,
but
your
your
concerns.
I.
Take
your
concern
seriously.
I
respect
the
fact
that
you
have
a
relationship
with
your
residents
to
manage
and
you
don't
want
to
seem
like
you're
you're
stringing
them
out
as
well.
B
Q
You
Lord
Mayor.
Firstly,
we
don't
accept
that
as
a
need
for
your
master,
lordship
program
of
libraries
and
we've
provided
alternatives,
but
if
choices
are
to
be
made,
we're
not
just
looking
as
you
suggest,
at
the
actual
amount
of
money
involved,
but
also
the
areas
that
depend
on
a
particular
library
and
those
aren't
just
the
ones
that
immediately
access
it
by
walking.
We
have
good
it's
it's
a
major
shopping
center,
which
is
actually
serviced
by
a
good
massive,
is
partly
to
have
two
local
councillors
and
cover
the.
Q
B
Q
The
answer
suggests
that
it's,
what
comes
in
during
a
consultation
that
will
affect
the
equalities
impact
assessment
judgment
and
yet
the
area
is
surrounded
by
large
numbers
of
multiple
deprivation
areas
and
if
some
of
those
people
who
depend
upon
that
service,
who
probably
won't
access
the
consultation
most
effectively.
So
can
we
take
into
account
the
existing
deprivation
and
not
just
those
who
respond
to
the
consultation.
Q
B
R
Thank
You
Marvin
for
your
vey
detailed
out
zone
for
the
figures
with
the
financial
shortfall
we've
clearly
got
in
mind.
Please
can
you
tell
me
what
you're
doing
with
other
councils,
particularly
the
other
core
cities,
to
challenge
the
inadequate
funding
that
we're
getting
from
central
government,
given
a
billion
pound
bung
to
keep
the
DUP
happy
was
so
easy
for
the
government
to
find.
We
shouldn't
simply
accept
the
loose
change
that
they
seem
to
be
willing
to,
though
anything,
to
be
prepared
to
throw
in
our
direction.
B
Funnily
enough,
this
was
the
hot
topic
of
conversation
with,
of
course,
at
least
yesterday,
but
I
think
there's
there's
an
adjustment.
It
needs
to
happen
and
I
I
think
clearly,
some
of
our
our
differences
along
along
party
lines
but
I
think
one
of
the
interesting
differences
in
politics
at
the
moment
is
that
between
national
government
and
city
government
and
local
regional
government
I
just
think
you
know
it.
Is
this
what
Tim
Tim
Warren
says
to
me?
B
You
know
when
you
get
to
the
local
level,
we
want
to
get
the
stuff
done,
and
sometimes
there
are
more
things
that
put
us
together
in
terms
of
one
in
to
tackle
education.
Inequalities
get
houses
for
people
make
sure
we
have
clean
air.
All
those
things
put
us
together
and
what
a
nose
at
the
virus
apart,
although
we
clearly,
we
will
have
our
differences
as
well.
So
why
I
say
is
you
know
it's
taken
some
time
to
go
on
the
journey.
B
I
think
some
people
after
I
mention
course
at
his
last
last
year
a
number
of
people
are
putting
in
the
papers,
keep
talking
about
course,
cities
I'd.
Imagine
none
of
them
couldn't
even
name
the
chief
exec
or
the
chair,
but
nonetheless
they
keep
citing
it.
We've
been
talking
to
call
cities
building
our
relationships
in
them
over
the
year
until
the
point
where
actually
we
do
have
a
consensus.
B
But
getting
to
the
point
where
you,
where
you
can
talk
to
fellow
cities
about
and
not
all
of
them
or
society,
take
take
part
in
this
with
the
same
enthusiasm
get
into
the
point
where
you
can
talk
to
your
fellow
cities
about
writing
that
paper
together.
Getting
to
the
point
where
you
were
you
organize
the
day
in
London
together
and
maybe
talk
to
your
populations,
it's
not
something!
You
do
and
I'm
not
saying
you
say
this
I'm
just
talking
to
it.
B
It's
not
something
you
do
by
wearing
a
badge,
stamping
your
feet
and
shouting
a
saying
you
want
it
to
happen.
You
know
you
have
to
have
conversations
sometimes
that
are
quiet,
build
the
trust,
building
relationships
and
come
to
a
consensus
on
how
you
want
to
approach
national
government
so
that
all
your
interests
are
taken
into
a
can
and
that's
what
we've
done
over
the
last
few
months
very
quietly.
Well,.
R
That's
good
work
and
thanks
for
that
second,
supplementary
on
question.
Two
is:
please
explain
how
given,
obviously
that
cuts
need
to
chop
losses.
Please
will
explain
how
the
senior
leadership
and
management's
this
council
is
being
streamlined
and
what
I
mean
is
how
many
posts
have
gone
by
grade
and
how
much
money
were
actually
saving
in
this
whole
long
term
process.
As
part
of
that,
can
you
provide?
R
There
cannot
provide
the
economic
and
strategy
strategic
justification
for
any
new
senior
posts
that
have
been
created,
whether
they're,
replacing
or
consolidation
of
posts
that
have
gone
or
whatever,
and
that's
because
that's
particularly
important,
given
the
claims
in
the
Bristol
cable.
Only
today
that
council
executives
are
enjoying
well
the
decent
pay
packages
and
we
can't
have
a
perception
that
austerities
for
some,
but
not
everybody,
yeah.
B
C
Thank
you,
my
lord
Matt
I
think
I'm
a
fourth
or
fifth
on
street
trees.
My
question
one
specifically
spoke
about
air
pollution
and
I'm,
just
wondering
if
you
might
clarify
the
were
there
having
other
cities.
Who've
taken
the
street,
you
maintenance
to
an
extreme
and
just
cut
the
street
trees
down.
Sheffield
springs
to
mind.
That
would
there'll
be
one
of
the
core
cities
you
are
citing
earlier.
C
That
yeah,
we
can
see
where
we
go
whoever's
got
the
next
street
trees,
try
and
get
the
pun
in.
That's
all
I'm
saying
and
obviously,
whenever
the
service
trains
finance
your
envelope,
I
think
you
have
to
present
value
for
money
and
obviously
every
decision
has
to
be
weighed
very
carefully
to
make
sure
that
it
does
deliver.
That.
Will
you
be
releasing
the
no
doubt
study
into
this
provoked
compiled
by
officers
as
to
how
much
money
it
saves
and
what
our
risk
of
litigation
and
costs
might
be.
I'm
sure
that
work
was
done.
S
I
B
T
T
The
the
proportional
representation
has
benefits
and
increasing
engagement,
representation
and
diversity
where
it
has
been
brought
in
a
couple
of
examples:
New
Zealand
more
than
doubled
its
Maori
representation
when
it
brought
in
PR,
changing
from
a
first-past-the-post
system
and
South
Africa
under
a
proportional
system,
elected
twice
as
many
women
as
the
US
Congress
at
its
first
attempt
at
an
election.
So
maybe
it's
something
that
you
could
go
and
find
out
more
about
I'm.
B
More
than
willing
to
have
a
chat
with
you
about
it,
I
think
my
thing
has
been.
You
know:
I
I,
walk
to
work
Dover
day
and
I
saw
a
guy
grew
up
with
Ian.
He
ended
up
in
gang
life,
and
now
he
works
getting
kids
out
of
gangs.
In
fact,
he's
asked
me
and
you'd
be
welcome
to
come
along.
He's
asked
me
to
go
and
meet
some
of
the
gang
members
today
and
just
have
a
bit
of
a
gang
summit.
What
he
didn't
talk
to
me
about
was
a
proportional
representation.
B
You
know
so
III
absolutely
understand,
there's
a
discussion
for
it,
but
III
think
that
you
know
the
way.
Also
does
that
there's
a
real
challenge
to
be
had
which
is
about,
and
in
fact
we're
responsible
for
it
in
this
chamber
and
the
quality
in
tone
and
the
way
we
lead
in
the
way
we
engage
people
in
politics
is
about
how
we
bring
be
a
wider
people
from
a
wider
range
of
backgrounds
into
elected
office
and
and
engaged
in
the
process.
B
My
concern
was,
you
know
if
you
changed
it,
if
you
know
if
you
change
the
vehicle
but
the
same
fuel
in
it.
Well,
that's
not
really
good
image,
isn't
it,
but
you
could
you
could
change
your
container,
but
do
not
know
thanks
for
you,
you
could
change.
You
could
change
the
container,
but
do
nothing
about
what
you
put
into
it,
and
that
would
be
a
real
Chad
for
me
and
in
that
sense
it
wouldn't
for
some
people
it
would.
B
It
would
just
be
a
you
know,
just
a
middle-class
political
discussion,
so
I
don't
want
to
I,
don't
want
to
fall
into
that
I'd
be
interested
to
know
in
New
Zealand.
What
happened
around
that
so
with
the
extent
to
which
they
they
had
discussions
about
reparations
land
redistribution?
You
know
tackling
educational
inequalities
and
all
the
things
that
have
gone
on
with
with
natives
people
being
put
in
a
racial
hierarchy
in
their
countries
of
origin,
but
yeah
I
I'm.
More
than
willing
to
have
that
conversation
with
you
about.
U
B
So
I
do
think
there's
one
other.
What
I
would
like
to
do
is
to
make
sure
it's
accurate
could
come
back
with
a
written
response
to
there's
one
I
want
to
mention,
but
I
don't
want
to
make
an
error
here.
I'm
telling
you
about
all
right.
U
U
B
So
I'm
not
happy
about
it
I.
What
I
would
say
is
there's
many
other
things
going
on
and
I'm
sure
you'd
be
willing
to
put
your
own
time
and
effort
into
making
sure
they're
successful.
You
know
last
week
we
just
graduated
12
people
from
the
city
leadership
program,
high
ability,
aspiration,
kids
from
disadvantaged
backgrounds,
a
number
of
whom
were
from
in
the
care
system
themselves.
In
fact,
one
of
them
was
in
one
of
our
graduates
from
two
years
ago
was
in
the
office.
B
Yesterday
he
was
homeless
as
a
teenager
come
through
the
care
system,
a
young
carer
in
the
mayor's
office,
who's
just
gone
off
to
get
a
job
got
two
job
offers,
because
we
made
an
explicit
commitment
to
that.
You
know
we
launched
this
the
feed
in
Bristol
campaign
to
make
sure
that
no
child
is
hungry
in
a
city.
So
I'm
not
happy
about
this
situation,
but
I
would
hate
anyone
to
leave
with
the
impression
and
we're
not
taking
inequality
and
the
education
of
children
seriously.
B
In
a
city,
we've
got
our
youth
mayor's
going
off
on
an
outward-bound
which
is
all
part
of
character
and
life
in
Richmond.
As
part
of
a
commitment
to
making
sure
that
all
kids
get
a
chance
to
get
outside
the
city,
you'll
no
doubt
be
aware
of
our
commitment
to
make
sure
that
every
child
in
the
city
has
access
to
work
experience
as
well
as
a
key
part
of
intervening
for
social
mobility.
So
there
are
many
other
areas.
B
V
You
my
long
way
first
supplementary
is
if
the
mayor
clarify
whether,
if
the
reports
going
to
take
810
weeks,
does
that
mean
it
will
be
ready
three
months
later
and
kept?
When
will
it
feature
in
his
forward
plan?
The
second
is
a
much
simpler
one,
but
I
just
like
clarification,
because
I'm
losing
touch
a
little
as
to
which
member
of
your
cabinet
is
risk
will
be
responsible
for
dealing
with
this
and
which
member
of
the
senior
leadership
team
and
service
director.
Thank
you.
