A
Good

everybody
welcome
to
the
community
community
community
south
committee
meeting.
Apparently,
we've
just
gone
live
so
everybody
on
the
best
behaviour
right
shall
we
start
with
introductions.
Thank
you.
Just
looking
around
my
name's
counselor
angela
gabriel,
I'm
the
chair
and
one
of
the
councillors
for
beeston
and
holbeck.
D
Amy
beswick,
I'm
a
policy
officer
in
the
chief
executive's
office
attending
with
councillor
dawson
councillor,
elizabeth
nash.
I
represent
hunslet
and
riverside.
A
You
and
there's
also
hard
copies
of
the
agenda
down
there.
The
papers,
if
anybody
wants
a
set-
apologies
for
absence.
E
A
A
A
I'm
thinking
that's
a
no
I'm
looking
at
everybody
good.
Have
we
any
questions
for
the
open
forum.
A
A
G
So
the
committee
is
asked
to
know
that
there's
currently
a
remaining
balance
of
109
and
370
pounds
and
the
world
split
is
as
follows.
So
we've
got
beast
in
and
all
back
31
523
pounds,
one
selecting
riverside,
32,
474
pounds
and
middleton
park
has
got
41
654
pounds
so
that
details
the
well-being
budget
position
and
then,
if
I
can
draw
the
committee's
attention
to
page
17
onwards,
these
are
the
projects
for
consideration
and
approval
and
I
think
I'm
going
to
talk
to
you.
Council,
gabriel.
Yes,.
A
Thank
you.
Could
I
ask
the
members
of
the
public
if
they'd
like
to
take
up
the
empty
seats?
Please
because
I
think
we
want
to
ask
you
some
questions
so
there's
a
seat
next
to
sharon
and
the
library,
lady
and
then
there's
one
at
the
bottom
down
there.
If
you
want
to
so
then,
because
then
we
can
ask
you
there's
two
here:
how
many
people
is
there.
D
A
That's
better!
Thank
you.
The
harriet's
just
gonna
go
get
you
some
cards
because
you
need
a
card
to
slot
in
or
else
you
can't
speak,
no
good,
try
so
we'll
crack
on
and
then
by
time
we
get
to
you
harriet,
we'll
be
back
so
the
first
one
item:
20
is
cotton.
Lamppost
banners.
Are
we
all
okay
with
that
good?
A
Then
21
is
the
lock
keepers
house,
cctv
and
that
is
hunsleton
riverside.
A
And
then
I've
got
item
23,
which
is,
I
think,
the
one
that
we've
got
some
questions.
Oh
sorry,
item
22
is
reestablished
and
this
is
giving
between
beeston
and
holbeck
and
city
and
riverside.
Are
we
all
okay
with
that
good?
Thank
you.
Is
there
any
questions
you
wish
to
ask
the
young
lady
that's
here
today.
I
All
right
there
we
go
winner,
the
so
we
just
found
out
that
we
got
bbc
children
in
need,
funding,
which
is
great,
so
we've
just
we've
been
speaking
with
vip,
and
so
they
work
in
partnership
with
sports
england
and
so
we're
looking
at
them
coming
on
board
to
help
with
that
side
of
the
project.
I
So
that's
very
positive
and
yeah
so
with
yeah,
so
the
other
a
couple
are
still
in
process,
but
those
we've
heard
back
from
youth
music,
we've
we've
received
and
the
leeds
community
foundation
strategic
grant
we've
received
too.
J
Is
that
one
yeah,
so
I'm
kate,
singleton
and
I
work
for
century
scares.
L
I
was
I
raised
the
point.
I
was
particularly
concerned
in
your
bid,
you
directed
girls
to
one
activity,
crafts
and
mental
health
and
the
boys
to
bmx
biking
and
which
I
thought
was
discriminatory
at
worst
and
I'm
very
short-sighted
at
best,
particularly
since
we
just
had
a
girl
win
a
gold
medal
for
bmx
viking
olympics.
So
I
didn't
know
if
that
were
kind
of
a
cut
and
paste
job
from
the
previous
bid,
because
we
all
do
it
or-
or
you
perhaps
needed-
to
rethink
that
approach.
J
So,
yes,
sorry,
I
think
we
didn't
make
it
as
clear
as
we
could
in
the
bid.
So
within
the
activities
then,
for
the
girls
and
for
the
boys
we
do
a
range
of
things
and
within
that
we
do
sports
with
the
girls
as
well.
So
we
just
recently
run
a
bit
of
a
summer
program
where
we
took
girls
to
ls10.
We
took
them
to
leeds
urban
bike
park
and
we
did
football
with
them.
We
did
rugby
and
there's
a
lot
of
enthusiasm
for
that.
J
So
within
our
programme,
and
I
think
where
there's
limited
words,
you
can't
always
go
into
quite
as
much
detail,
but
I
apologize
for
not
making
that
clear,
but
very
much
we're
all
about
making
sure
that
everyone
gets
a
chance
to
do
everything
and
with
the
lads
as
well.
We
focus
on
issues
such
as
mental
health
and
things
as
well.
We
realize
that
for
both
it's
really
important
to
do
both
so
yeah
very
much
that
is
at
the
heart
of
what
we
want
to
do.
So
everybody.
J
B
Yeah
thanks
chair,
obviously
the
the
rice
sessions
for
the
boys
as
we've
got
it
in
the
report.
I
don't
know
if
you've
seen
the
report
are
scattered
around
all
of
inner
south
through
the
venues,
but
the
sessions
for
the
girls
are
all
at
saint
luke's.
J
Yeah,
brilliant
so
within
kind
of
the
wider
work
we
do
as
a
project,
we
have
a
presence
in
a
lot
of
the
kind
of
local
high
schools
to
cover
which
draws
a
lot
from
middleton
and
cove
and
john
charles
miller,
sort
of
area
and
the
reason
the
sessions
at
st
luke's
is
just
because
of
the
facility
being
really
good.
But
we
have
a
mini
bus
which
we
go
and
pick
up.
Young
people
from
different
parts
of
the
city
do
kind
of
detach
an
outreach
at
different
points.
J
We
often
get
kind
of
referrals
coming
to
the
project
from
the
different
schools,
so
we
like,
we
make
sure
that
there's
no
barriers
to
young
people
from
any
part
of
kind
of
the
inner
south
area
coming
just
happens
that
that's
the
facility
that
we
can
use
that
works
well.
J
Yeah,
so
so
we
get
a
lot
of
that
and
we
get
a
lot
of
young
people
they
hear
about
it
and
they
ask.
How
can
we
come?
Can
I
bring
my
friends?
Can
I
bring
my
brothers
and
sisters,
and
so
that
happens
a
lot
where
we
kind
of
publicize
we
sometimes
do
get
families
getting
in
touch.
Saying
I'd
really,
like
my
children
to
be
involved
in
this
so
yeah,
it's
not
just
so.
Schools
might
refer.
Social
work
might
prefer,
but
also
very
much
kind
of
we
have
a
community
presence.
J
L
Happy
to
explain
it
just
just
referring
back
to
councillor
truswell's
point
you'll
pick
people
up
that
strikes
me
as
being
a
logistical
nightmare
only.
I
think
it's
really
positive,
but
it's
it's
coordinating
that.
J
Yeah,
it
is,
it
is
tricky
at
times,
but
like
we
really
like,
we
see
it
as
really
important
to
make
it
accessible
to
people
so
willing
to
kind
of
go
that
extra
mile
to
make
sure
that
people
can
come
if
they
want
to
and
recognizing
that
a
lot
of
families
won't
have
access
to
transport
themselves.
And
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
can
do
that
and
do
whatever
we
can
to
make
it
possible.
M
J
So,
that's,
that's.
Anyone
can
drop
in
and
it's
providing
all
sorts
of
different
support,
so
we
do
with
within
that.
We
would
always
work
with
like
kind
of
local
agencies
so
like
like
drug
and
alcohol
services
and
mental
health
services,
sexual
health
and
kind
of
bring
other
organizations
in
to
make
it
possible
for
young
people
to
access
information
that
they
need
careers,
that
sort
of
thing,
but
it's
not
a
it's,
not
a
school
partnership
or
anything
like
that.
It's
just
out
in
the
community
providing
service.
H
One
of
the
things
we've
been
talking
as
a
group
of
counselors
about
is
the
sustainability
of
funding
projects.
I
mean
so
it's
not
your
this
justice
funding
project
in
particular,
I
guess,
have
you
got
any
vision
on
how
you
would
become
more
sustainable
over
the
medium
term,.
J
Yep,
so
we're
we're
always
looking
for
different
ways
to
bring
funding
into
the
inner
south
leeds
and
we're,
as
a
charity,
really
successful
that
I'm
kind
of
obtaining
funding
from
national,
wider
sources
and
never-
and
I
think,
we've
had
this
conversation
before
never
want
to
be
solely
reliant
on
you
guys,
but
also
want
to
be
able
to
tap
into
it
where
we
see
it
being
useful.
But
we're
committed
to
always
looking
for
opportunities
and
kind
of.
That's
also.
J
The
the
reason
that
we
have
our
charity
shop
as
well,
which
does
bring
in
you'll,
see
the
kind
of
match
funding
is
through
through
that.
Obviously,
it's
been
a
bit
of
a
challenging
year
in
terms
of
having
a
shop
as
you
can
imagine,
but
that
is
still
a
really
successful
premises
which
the
whole
idea
behind
that
is
to
be
kind
of
self-funding
and
not
wholly
reliant
on
grant
funding.
A
A
I'm
sorry
we
can
yeah,
no,
it
says
so.
I'm
so
we're
saying
that's
a
yes
officially
for
that
project.
A
A
A
So
there's
a
supplementary
item,
which
is
a
cotton
lit
in
bloom,
wanting
to
paint
their
utility
boxes
in
cottonley
and
that's
they're
asking
for
two
thousand
pound
holy
from
beeston
and
holbeck.
He
said:
okay
yep!
Thank
you.
A
G
And
okay,
so
I'm
going
to
skip
the
monitoring
information,
but
I
know
elaine
has
given
a
really
good
update
in
terms
of
projects
that
have
been
completed
and
submitted
some
of
their
monitoring.
I
think
there's
one
for
all
three
awards
for
the
inner
south
committee.
So
if
I
can
move
the
committee
onto
page
28,
please,
which
is
details
of
the
well
sorry,
the
youth
activities
fund
position.
G
G
The
total
available
for
spending
the
inner
south
committee,
including
carry
forward
from
the
previous
year,
is
68
534
pounds
and
there's
been
a
total
of
25
870
pounds.
That's
been
allocated
to
project
so
far
and
those
are
listed
in
table
two,
and
that
means
there's
currently
a
remaining
balance
of
42
664
pounds
and
the
balances
for
the
awards
are
as
follows.
So,
based
in
albert
we've
got
14
251.
G
G
So
at
the
last
committee
meeting
on
the
7th
of
july,
the
committee
approved
a
small
grants,
budget
of
six
and
a
half
thousand
pounds,
and
the
remaining
balance
is
five
thousand
and
seventy
seven
pounds
and
it's
as
follows
for
the
following
world.
So
basically
now
we've
got
two
thousand
six
hundred
and
sixty
seven
pounds.
G
G
Easton
and
albeck
approved
2000
middleton
park
approved
500
and
the
remaining
balance
is
as
follows.
So
we've
got
based
in
an
all
back
395
pounds.
A
middleton
park
currently
has
348
pounds
and
then
overleaf.
We've
got
the
capital
budget
for
the
inner
south
committee
and
so
there's
a
capital
budget
of
41
662
pounds
available
to
spend.
There
was
an
injection
of
just
over
19,
000
and,
and
that
was
updated
in
may
of
this
year,
and
the
remaining
balances
are
as
follows.
So,
based
in
orbit,
we've
got
15
ten
pounds.
G
One's
little
riverside,
we've
got
ten
thousand
eight
hundred
and
seventy
seven
pounds
and
middleton
park.
We've
got
thirteen
thousand
eight
hundred
and
twenty
three
pounds
and
then
finally,
we've
got
the
sale
budget,
complete
infrastructure
levy
budget
for
the
inner
south
committee.
G
There's
76
599
pounds
total
payable
to
the
committee
with
28
259
pounds
available
to
spend
and
the
breakdown
is
as
follows.
So
we've
got
beast
in
an
old
back
with
eleven
thousand
two
hundred
and
sixty
eight
one's
little
riverside
dot
of
anything
currently
and
middleton
park
have
got
16
991
pounds
and
if
I
can
just
draw
the
committee's
attention
to
the
final
page,
page
33
and
the
recommendations
that
are
listed
as
part
of
the
finance
report.
D
Yes,
on
page
30,
the
small
grants
awards
in
the
top
top
table
and
riverside
gave
166
pounds
to
irish
arts,
but
I
think
we
gave
it
dependent
on
where
the
venue
was
because
last
time
we
gave
them
a
grant,
they
didn't
perform
where
they
said
they'd
perform
and
performed
on
a
riverboat
which
nobody
knew
anything
about.
A
As
far
as
I
know,
I
think
lynn
replied
to
that
email
and
they
gave
definite
sites
and
we
got
invitations
because
they
did
one
in
crosslats
park
with
irish,
elderly
and
paul
ray
myself
and
gohan
and
andrew
attended
because
they
invited
us
to
the
event.
I
can't
remember
where,
in
your
order,
we're
going
to
do
it
but
I'll
I
will
chase
sling
up.
D
A
A
For
that,
so
we've
got
the
next
item,
you're
going
to
do,
and
I
will
be
calling
on
the
champions
or
the
chairs
just
to
give
a
comment
if
they
want
to
do
on
the
group
that
they
are
sharing.
M
Thank
you
chair.
I
had
a
really
good
meeting
the
handover
meeting
and
andrew
and
len,
and
I
discussed
various
things
going
forward
and
it's
looking
really
good
because
we
are
planning
to
have
a
really
really
big
kind
of
youth
summit
this
year.
Well,
not
this
year.
It's
going
to
happen
in
february
january
february,
depending
on
the
availability
of
of
the
what
of
the
of
the
pavilion
opposite,
the
the
ellen
road
football
stadium.
M
So
that's
the
plan
and
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
keep
you
posted
with
all
the
developments
and
whatever
you
I'm
also
having
a
meeting
with
the
family
subgroups
on
the
16th
of
september.
So
I'll
keep
the
the
the
committee
informed
of
of
what's
happening.
M
We
looked
at
a
couple
of
if
you
like
a
couple
of
subjects
to
to
concentrate
on,
and
one
of
them
was
involving
the
youth
in
terms
of
environmental
issues
and
so
on
and
the
other
one
was
mental
health,
especially
you
know
after
the
pandemic,
especially
youth
and
schools,
going
schooling,
youth
and
kids
are
impacted
by
by
that
as
well
a
lot
social
isolation
and
whatever
you.
So.
M
So
some
positive
role
models
from
various
parts
of
leeds
and
and
beyond
to
to
encourage
our
youth
to
aspire
to
some
of
the
role
models
they
can
look
up
to.
So
that's
that's
what
we've
done
so
far,
but
as
soon
as
we
have
met
and
there's
more
development
on
it,
I'll
keep
updating
the
committee
here.
Thank
you.
If
there's
any
questions
more
than
happy
to
answer.
A
Thank
you,
girl,
kim.
C
Not
a
question
just
a
comment.
I
think
it'd
be
really
used
to
be
useful
to
use
role
models
who
already
work
in
the
community,
and
I
think,
if
you
look
on
page
25,
which
was
the
beast
and
rugby
engagement
project
and
we
actually
received
some
information
from
the
head
teachers
about
how
amazing
and
the
scheme
had
been
and-
and
I
think
michael's
delivered
to
3
400
children
right
across
the
inner
south
and
was
yesterday
I'm
pleased
to
announce,
made
our
foundation
manager
for
huntsville
hawks
and
and
we've
got
tyler
there
as
well.
C
Who's
who's,
working,
the
university
and
we've
got
danielle
from
dynamite
dance
who
started
that
the
dance
school
at
age
16
and
has
brought
it
up
and
one
of
the
young
people
going
to
the
olympics.
And
so
I
think
those
people
really
need
to
be
part
of
that
summit
and
we've
got
contact
numbers.
But
you
go
up.
I
think
that
will
be
really
good.
M
Thanks
a
lot
council
grove
I'll
be
really
appreciative
if
we
can
kind
of
have
that
kind
of
interaction,
it's
good
to
have
role
models
who
are
sort
of
you
know
big
players
on
you
know
rugby
and
football
and
all
sorts
of
other
sports
and
whatever
you,
but
it's
always
better
to
have
that
local
faces
that
people
can
recognize.
So
that
would
be
very
useful.
Thank
you.
A
Councillors,
so
I
think
that
subgroup
is
working
quite
well
at
the
moment.
I
think
it's
a
good
chance
for
councillors
to
see
offices
from
different
departments.
Even
if
it's
on
zoom
at
least
you've
got
an
accountable
person,
so
I
think
that's
working
well
mohammed.
Would
you
like
to
say
something
on
community
safety.
K
Yeah,
just
a
quick
word:
really:
we've
not
met,
as
you
know,
so,
in
terms
of
community
safety
that
has
been
tensioned
some
issues
in
eastern
ill.
Some
serious
violent
issues
and
police
have
obtain
some
extra
special
powers
to
stop
and
search
people
and
vehicle
over
the
weekend.
So
police
are
doing
some
investigations
about
some
serious
incidents,
so
that
was
the
main
concern
on
in
terms
of
community
safety
and
policing
matters
other
than
that
there's
been
no
meeting
and
nothing
changed.
A
B
Could
I
just
make
an
observation:
I
don't
want
to
prompt
a
prolonged
discussion,
but
something
that
we
might
need
to
look
at.
It's
obviously
really
disturbing
that
the
number
of
people
claiming
universal
credit
over
the
last
year
is
almost
doubled
in
assault.
B
What's
even
more
disturbing
from
my
point
of
view
is
that
things
are
going
to
get
dramatically
worse
before
they
get
better
because,
as
the
report
says,
we've
got
the
furlough
scheme
coming
to
an
end,
but
we've
also
got
the
government's
intention
to
claw
back
or
to
end
a
20
uplift
to
universal
credit,
and
I'm
just
wondering
given
that,
given
the
fact
that
we
know
that
food
is
going
up
rapidly,
so
this
food
poverty
continues
to
increase,
we've
got
fuel
poverty.
Fuel
prices
have
gone
up.
B
I
understand
by
about
14
over
the
last
year,
we'll
be
talking
later
about
digital
poverty.
The
fact
that
people
can't
access
the
digital
by
default
society
because
they
can't
afford
the
kit
or
broadband
or
data,
I'm
just
wondering
whether
it's
some
stage
very
quickly.
We,
as
a
community
committee
and
members
in
in
the
south,
can
look
at
what's
available
currently
in
terms
of
supporting
people
now
and
in
the
future,
to
identify
any
gaps
that
we
might
feel
with
well-being
funding.
B
You
know
around
issues
like
advice,
food
banks,
provision
of
digital
facilities
to
people,
support
to
families
the
whole
thing
so
that
we
are
confident
that
we've
either
got
things
in
place
or
we
can
fill
some
of
the
gaps.
Sorry,
I
didn't
mean
to
bang
on
quite
as
long
as
that,
but
I
do
think
it's
absolutely
critical
that
we
we
satisfy
ourselves
we're
doing
all
we
can.
C
Kim
and
during
and
covid
19,
the
third
sector
organizations
organized
a
meeting
that
only
the
third
sector
organizations
attend
to
address,
just
the
things
that
council
trust
has
been
talking
about.
I
think
it
would
be
really
useful
for
us
to
get
an
update
from
that
meeting,
because
from
what
I'm
told
it's
really
valuable
meeting,
they
get
a
lot.
They
achieve
a
lot
of
outcomes
with
it,
but
we
don't
have
a
mapping
of
it
or
we
don't
have
a
mapping
of
that
works.
That
would
be
really
useful
if
we
can
engage
with
them.
A
A
Sorry
I'll
ask
linnel
in
replacement,
because
lynn
hasn't
got
along
with
us
if
we
can
sort
of
have
sort
of
a
mapping
exercise
and
that
can
come
under
health
and
well-being
as
well,
because
we're
doing
that
for
social
cert
work
to
find
out.
As
you
say,
if,
like
we've
got
a
couple
of
food
banks
in
our
world,
I'm
sure
others
have
been,
we've
got
muddy,
money,
buddies
and
that
sort
of
thing.
So,
let's
just
make
sure
we
map
out
what
we've
got
and
then,
as
you
say,
fill
in.
L
A
C
B
J
I
don't
know
if
I'm
allowed
to
speak,
but
if
I
think
it's,
if
it's
the
same
one
that
I've
like
attended,
then
shannaz
hamara
is
quite
key
in.
C
A
A
A
L
Yeah
we
had
our
first
meeting
and
it
was
really
I
thought
was
really
positive
and
useful
and
we
started
to
scope
out
air
terms
of
reference,
be
how
we
will
actually
work
and
and
how
we'll
fit
alongside
the
groups
that
are
already
there,
because
we
don't
want
to
replicate.
We
want
to
supplement
and
increase
value,
so
there's
a
piece
of
work
scoping
what's
available
and
how
we
can
tap
into
it.
L
Andrew
very
kindly
gave
us
a
presentation
on
a
project
he's
been
doing
in
eastern
which
we're
going
to
look
at
and
that's
around
drugs
and
alcohol,
because
that's
an
issue
that
affects
the
entire
world.
Mental
health
was
prominent
in
our
discussions
because
again
it
doesn't
just
affect
our
world.
It
affects
everybody
everywhere.
L
So
when
we
finish
the
scope
in
the
terms
of
reference
lynn-
and
I
are
meeting
next
week,
angela
to
finalize
those
and
then
they'll
be
circulating
to
everybody,
but
I
think
it's
quite
a
positive
piece
of
work
that
we
can
build
on
and
then
we
can
select.
The
partners
select-
that's
perhaps
a
bit,
but
everybody
doesn't
need
to
come
to
every
meeting,
because
that
would
be
a
waste
of
their
time,
so
we
can
select
and
invite
them
as
and
when
appropriate.
Really
so
it's
early
days.
C
C
I
think
it's
really
important
that
sharing
links
up
with
the
corporate
center
so
that
there's
a
strategic
framework
for
us
to
fit
in
and
but
it
would
be
really
good
to
have
that
bottom-up
approach,
because
I
think
andrew,
I
think,
in
his
first
year
raised
dual
diagnosis
in
one
of
the
labour
groups
and
the
fact
that
we're
still
talking
about
it
and
we
need
solutions
for
it
and
means
that
there's
a
bigger
piece
of
work
to
be
done.
So
yeah
really
welcome
the
work.
L
A
G
Thanks
chair,
I
think
we're
almost
there
now,
so
I'm
just
going
to
wrap
it
up
in
terms
of
the
update
report.
So
I
think
lynn
just
wanted
me
to
cover
some
of
the
defib
stuff
that
that
I
know
the
unslate
and
riverside
counselors
have
funded,
but
also
the
middleton
park
councillors,
and
so,
as
everybody
will
be
aware,
there's
been
15
defibs
that
have
been
approved
by
the
committee
to
be
installed
at
various
venues
in
the
onslaught
and
riverside
world.
G
The
good
news
is
that
14
so
far
have
been
completed
and
installed
with
one
final
location,
and
that
is
going
to
be
a
crescent,
grange
high-rise
and
then,
in
terms
of
the
middleton
park,
defibs
two
were
approved
by
middleton
parkward
members
sainsbury's,
which
is
near
middleton
park.
Circus,
has
been
installed,
which
is
good
news.
There's
been
a
named
guardian
appointed
at
the
site,
I'm
waiting
on
the
second
location.
G
My
understanding
is
from
this
report.
It's
going
to
be
an
unselect
delivery
office,
but
that's
still
being
progressed
with
lynn.
I
won't
cover
the
engagement
stuff.
Are
you?
Okay
with
that
counselor
gabriel?
That's
fine.
A
So
then,
on
page
49,
I
think
we're
on
gives
a
bits
of
pub
social
media
that
we've
covered
in
the
area
and
how
we've
covered
it
so
that
that's
just
for
information-
and
I
think
that
rounds
up
that
section
of
the
agenda
has
anybody
got
any
questions.
Have
I
rushed
anybody
or
anybody
feels
that
they've
not
got
anything
no
good.
So
now
we're
on
to
item
10,
which
is
item
10.
Is
it
I'm
just
letting
jane
get
back
to
a
c
okay
over
to
you.
F
Thank
you
chair,
and
it's
really
nice
to
be
back
in
room
six
and
seven.
This
is
the
first
meeting
in
person
that
I've
actually
had
so
please
do
bear
with
me
I'd
like
to
introduce
myself
to
those
of
you
who
aren't
aware,
but
for
my
sins,
I've
taken
over
the
role
as
deputy
exec
board
member
under
the
portfolio
of
councillor
lewis,
the
leader
of
the
council
and
one
of
the
jobs
he's
given
me,
is
to
actually
work
with
officers
to
pull
together
our
new
iteration
of
the
city
plan.
F
So
some
of
us
are
long
enough
in
the
tooth
in
in
the
nicest
possible
way,
looking
around
the
table
to
remember
the
vision
for
leads
and
the
best
council
plan,
which
is
believe
it
or
not
a
decade
old
now.
F
I
think
one
thing
that
has
become
clear,
especially
in
light
of
the
work
we've
done
around
covid,
is
that
leeds
city
council
cannot
do
it
all
alone,
but,
more
importantly,
we
shouldn't
do
it
all
alone.
We
should
work
with
our
third
sector
partners.
We
should
work
with
businesses
and
and
so
on.
There's
an
awful
lot
of
good
examples
of
excellent
work
that
listening
to
some
of
the
things
you've
been
doing
in
your
community
committee.
F
F
Statistics
can
only
go
so
far
and
during
the
process
of
setting
up
my
knowledge
for
the
meetings
going
forward
and
there's
an
awful
lot
to
learn,
I've
got
to
tell
you
so
do
bear
with
me.
I
won't
know
the
answers
to
nearly
half
the
questions
you
want
to
ask,
but
that's
good,
because
it
means
you've
got
the
opportunity,
then,
to
go
out
and
find
the
answers.
F
But
we've
got
76
strategies
in
leeds
that
cover
everything,
including
our
no
doubt
how
to
tie
your
shoelace,
but
we
have
got
an
awful
lot
of
strategies,
but
as
a
team,
we're
going
to
use
existing
engagement,
that's
going
on.
Most
of
us
will
know
that
the
planning
department
are
doing
their
local
plan.
At
the
moment,
we've
got
a
talent
and
skills
plan.
F
F
Is
it
800
000
people
in
leeds
at
the
moment
and
that's
growing
at
a
rate
we're
one
of
the
highest
student
populations
in
the
city,
we're
the
largest
finance
center
outside
london
and
we're
at
the
forefront
of
digital
and
media,
and
obviously
we've
just
had
channel
four
move
into
the
city
as
well.
We're
a
young
city
and
we
do
have
strap
lines,
don't
we
the
best
city
to
grow
up
in
the
best
city
to
grow
old
in
and
so
on,
and
I
know
we'll
be
asking
you
questions
around
those
strap
lines
going
forward.
F
I
think
for
business,
we're
also
the
economic
powerhouse
of
the
region
and
again
statistics
lee's
economy
is
108
higher
or
larger
than
our
favorite
close
neighbor
sheffield
and
it's
177
percent
larger
than
bradford.
F
It's
it's
good
news
for
leads,
but
if
we're
going
to
work
and
we're
going
to
advance
and
get
better,
we
need
to
actually
work
with
our
close
neighbors
as
well
as
a
partnership.
So
the
lep's
important
and
our
business
relationships
are
really
important
because
they
provide
the
jobs
for
our
young
people
and
and
everyone
in
leeds
we've
got
a
low
unemploy
employment
rate,
but,
as
councillor
truswell
has
already
pointed
out,
there's
a
significant
increase,
especially
in
in-work
claims
for
benefits,
and
that's
something
that
I
think
we
need
to
address
as
well.
F
But
we've
also
got
a
good
social
infrastructure.
Our
third
sector,
I
think,
is,
is
the
best
in
the
whole
country
and
the
way
we
engage
and
they
engage
with
us
and
we
work
together
on
projects.
But,
let's
not
fool
ourselves.
We've
got
some
huge
challenges
across
the
city.
24
of
our
children
under
16
live
in
relative
poverty,
and
this
is
where
statistics
don't
tell
you
the
full
picture,
because
that's
actually
36
000
children
in
leeds
live
in
relative
poverty.
F
We've
got
significant
challenges
to
improve
educational
attainment,
but
that
isn't
new.
We've
had
that
for
a
long
time,
and
obviously,
we've
got
the
challenges
around
climate
change
and
how
we
deal
with
that
around
our
green
economy,
our
energy,
our
transport
and
so
on.
The
main
thing
is
to
make
sure
that
no
one
is
left
behind,
but
the
the
key
to
me
and
why
we're
here
to
speak
to
you-
is
that
thing
around
statistics
statistics
can
only
tell
you
a
small
part
of
that
picture.
F
F
So
we
need
to
look
behind
those
statistics
and
use
your
knowledge
of
your
communities
to
actually
put
some
meat
on
the
bones
of
those
statistics
and
tell
us
the
things
that
those
statistics
can't
so
with
with
that,
I
am
going
to
hand
over
to
amy
who's
going
to
run
through
the
slides
and
then
hopefully
we'll
we'll
have
a
conversation
with
you.
But
this
is
not
the
end.
We
want
you
to
actually
go
away
and
think
about
this.
We
want
to
have
other
conversations
with
you
when
you've
gone
away
and
had
a
think
about
it.
A
A
A
And
also
just
to
let
you
know
that
I
did
put
the
questions
out
to
counsellors.
So
they've
had
time
to
think
of
something
to
ask
you.
D
Yeah,
thank
you.
Okay,
I'll
just
skip
to
the
questions.
Just
one
thing
that
I
did
want
to
add
is
in
terms
of
what
the
plan
is
going
to
look
like
it's.
D
It's
going
to
be
quite
a
sort
of
high
level
strategic
document,
if
you
think
about
the
best
council
plan,
which
is
sort
of
the
headline
overview
and
then,
as
councillor
danson
mentioned
all
of
the
other
strategies
that
we've
got
it's
about
sort
of
bringing
them
together
under
something
overarching
and
and
it's
it's
likely
to
kind
of
keep
that
focus
that
we
have
had
over
the
past
few
years
on
the
three
pillars
of
inclusive
growth,
climate,
emergency
and
health
and
well-being.
We
think
they're
likely
to
remain
parts
of
it.
D
Let's
skip
to
the
questions
right,
so
the
the
discussion
questions,
and
hopefully
you
can
see
them.
The
first
one
is
asking:
what
are
the
big
issues
for
the
city
now
and
over
the
next
10
years,
and
then,
secondly,
if
we
think
a
bit
more
locally,
what
are
the
big
issues
for
the
inner
south
area?
D
And
thirdly,
how
can
local
communities
play
their
part
and
what
are
the
strengths
that
we
can
draw
upon?
And
finally,
the
fourth
question
was
asking
about
this
tagline
that
we've
been
using
for
a
little
while
around
being
the
best
city
and
the
best
council.
Is
that
something
that
we
think
is
still
useful
or
could
it
be
replaced
with
something
else.
H
All
right
thanks,
I'd
like
to
comment,
make
some
comments.
I'm
not
necessarily
answering
your
questions.
I
apologize
and
well
I'm
not
sorry,
so
I'm
going
to
do
it
so.
Firstly,
I
think
that
when,
when
you
talk
about
three
pillars,
I
think
that's
right.
That's
a
good
start,
but
I
also
think
things
like
the
priority
we've
had
for
the
least
well-off
in
our
is
really
important
to
keep
that
strand
going
through,
along
with
a
lot
of
the
things
we've
done.
H
H
I
went
out
recently
with
a
friend
of
mine,
who's,
who's,
disabled
and
I
used
a
mobility
scooter
and
that's
something
that
struck
me:
it's
not
as
easy
to
move
around
the
city
if
you're
not
able-bodied
as
it
could
or
should
be,
and
I
also
think
the
strand
about
developing
the
economy
is-
is
really
important,
because
we
need
more
jobs
that
pay
the
real
living
wage
rather
than
the
government's
living
wage.
H
In
terms
of
other
ideas,
I
think,
in
terms
of
what's
really
important
I'd
say
connectivity
is
massively
important
and
that's
for
everyone,
and
so
that
links
back
to
my
the
point
I
made
about
not
everyone
being
able
to
move
around
as
easily
as
everyone
else,
and
I
think
particularly
for
some
of
our
sort
of
really
less
well-off
areas.
The
connectivity
isn't
there.
So
if
you
think
about
cottingley,
the
buses
in
town
aren't
necessarily
as
good
as
they
could
be.
H
If
you
think
about
holbeck,
the
connectivity
should
be
there,
it's
right
at
the
doorstep
of
town,
but
the
connectivity
isn't
there,
both
physical
infrastructure
for
walking,
cycling,
but
also
the
bus
routes,
and
I
think
realistically,
we
need
to
be
improving
those
walking
and
bus
routes,
as
well
as
the
the
s
the
cycling
cycling
routes.
H
Another
key
theme,
I
think
that
we
should
be
talking
about,
is,
is
well-being
and
we've
talked
about
that
already
in
this
group
and
everywhere
I
go,
we
seem
to
talk
about
well-being,
particularly
at
the
moment,
but
I
think
that's
something
we're
gonna
have
to
really
look
at
in
terms
of,
and
and
also
in
terms
of
loneliness.
I
think
loneliness
is
something
that
is
you
can
be.
H
You
can
feel
lonely
in
a
crowd,
can't
you
and
and
so
getting
over,
that
that
barrier
we
can
all
be
on
zoom
meetings
all
day
long,
but
have
no
one
to
to
talk
to.
If
that
makes
sense,
I
think
that's
a
really
key
element.
You
asked
about
organizations
to
talk
to.
I'm
sure
you've
got
these
on
your
list,
but
I'd
encourage
you
to
talk
to
holbeck
together,
slung
low
theater
company
and
the
mha
communities
in
south
leeds
three
organizations
that
work
with
a
range
of
people
in
my
ward.
A
Okay,
just
to
say
once
we've
heard
from
the
councillors
members
of
the
public
can
contribute
to
this
debate.
If
they
want
to
do
so,
paul.
B
Yeah,
thank
you
chilly.
When
we
talk
about
strategies,
I
just
cast
my
mind
back
a
few
years
when
mrs
truswell,
who
was
put
up
with
mr
truswell
now
for
over
40
years,
gently
suggested
that
I
might
tie
you
up
the
landfill
site
in
which
lots
of
paper
had
accumulated,
and
the
reason
I
say
that
is
because
probably
something
like
half
of
the
redundant
paper
that
I
got
rid
of
contained
the
word
strategy
on
the
front
of
it.
B
To
my
mind,
strategies
are
absolutely
worthless
documents
if
they're
not
backed
up
with
a
very
clear
action
plan
and
time
scales
and
targets
and
ways
of
measuring
them
and
I'll
just
go
through
a
few
of
the
kind
of
issues
that
related
to
me
and
they're.
All
pretty
obvious
one
is
tackling
health
inequalities.
B
B
But
we
do
need
to
have
concrete
action
plans
which
I
hope
will
flow
from
this,
and
I
do
like
the
idea
of
moving
away
from
the
best
council
plan
to
the
best
city
because,
as
you
quite
rightly
said,
we
can
be
a
provider,
we
can
be
an
enabler,
we
can
be
a
partner,
but
we
can't
do
everything
and,
I
think,
best,
city,
sorry
best
council
was
a
bit
of
a
misnomer.
B
One
of
the
other
issues
I
think
we've
got
to
be
more
robust
about
is
meeting
housing
need.
So
I
think
we've
got
a
target
about
house
building
which
I
think
in
terms
of
meeting
housing
need
is
a
worthless
figure.
What
we
want
is
more
affordable,
housing,
more
decent
housing,
both
in
the
public
sector
and
the
private
sector,
and
I
think
you
know
our
plan
has
got
to
be
geared
up
to
that.
B
We've
talked
earlier
about
poverty
and
we
have
an
inclusive
growth
strategy
and
hopefully,
sometime
in
the
very
near
future
that
will
start
to
have
action
plans
that
can
then
be
measured,
and
I
know
that
eve,
roadhouse
and
her
colleagues
are
actually
working
on
how
we
measure
progress
on
inclusive
growth.
I'm
looking
at
things
like
you
know.
B
We
talk
about
full
employment,
well,
not
full
employment,
but
high
employment
rates,
but
in
terms
of
in
the
south,
a
huge
proportion
of
the
people
making
up
that
employment,
in
inverted
commerce,
are
on
low
pay,
they're
part-time
we've
got
women
in
especially
in
our
world,
and
I'm
sure
it's
true
of
everybody
else
who
are
doing
three
or
four
jobs
in
order
to
make
ends
meet
and
to
support
their
families.
We've
got
zero
hours
contracts,
we've
got
bogus
self-employment,
so
we
need
to
find
ways
of
with
partners
of
of
measuring
how
we
tackle
that.
B
So
it's
because
it's
absolutely
crucial-
and
obviously
we
mentioned
climate
change
and
andrew
is
quite
rightly
pointed
to
transport
and
connectivity,
but
it
also
has
major
implications
in
terms
of
climate
change,
and
the
other
thing
for
inner
south
is
air
quality
which
again
dovetails
into
the
whole
issue
of
climate
change
initiative.
So
I
think
we
could
all
bang
on
on
and
on
and
on
and
I'll,
probably
banged
on
long
enough.
Chair.
C
And
thank
you.
Chad,
agree
with
councillor
and
trustworthy
in
terms
of
strategy
that
it's
got
to
be
something
that
we
can
deliver,
so
it
may
be
high
level,
but
we've
got
to
be
able
to
deliver
it
and
people
have
got
to
be
able
to
see
what
we've
delivered
that
makes
a
difference
to
their
lives.
I
think
in
your
first
question:
what
are
the
big
issues
of
leads
now
and
over
the
next
10
years?
C
I
actually
think
it's
that
we're
going
to
have
to
quickly
reimagine
our
city
centers
as
people
don't
come
back
to
offices,
as
retail
has
you
know,
we've
seen
many
retailers.
I
think
it's
about.
Hundreds
of
retailers
have
gone
to
the
wall.
You
know
we've
got
vacant
units,
so
we've
got
interest
industries
that
have
disappeared.
We're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
empty
buildings
within
the
city
centre
which
might
actually
meet
our
housing
need.
If
we
can
work
differently,
I
think
you're,
absolutely
right.
Councillor
dalton
when
you
said
the
council
can't
do
it
all
alone.
C
It's
got
to
be
business
that
we're
working
with,
and
I
know
just
working
on
the
white
road
station
and
to
try
and
get
buses
for
cottingley
that
we've
had
to
work
with
the
private
sector
and
developer
to
deliver
what
we
want
for
our
elected
members
and
I
think
inward
investment
into
leeds
as
we've
we've
been
a
fantastic
city
and
it
is
a
fantastic
city,
if
you
think
back
to
the
years
where
we
had
jo,
you
know
down:
white
soul,
road,
we
had
a
giant
shops
and
we
had
derelict
car
parks
that
were
empty
for
years.
C
The
city
has
transformed-
and
we
should
be
proud
of
that,
but
we
are
a
surge
where
we
probably
need
to
reimagine.
Quite
a
lot
of
of
that.
So
I
think
the
inward
investment
is
really
important.
What
are
the
big
issues
for
the
inner
south
now
and
over
the
next
10
years?
Well,
they're,
probably
the
same
that
they've
always
been,
and
we
probably
need
to
do
something
radically
quite
different
we've.
C
If
you
can
look
at
the
statistics,
but
we
I
think
we
can
all
acknowledge
that
there's
generations
that
have
been
left
behind
over
many
many
years
and
their
self-esteem
not
even
to
come
out
of
the
door.
You
know
and
benefits
whether
we
like
it
or
not,
became
a
lifestyle
choice
for
them
and
we
have
got
a
massive
skill
shortage.
Lots
of
people
in
indiana
south
could
go
into
work
if
they
were
trained
up
if
they
were
given
the
right
help
and
the
right
support.
C
Well,
I
don't
think
the
people
that
built
this
building
will
have
had
all
those
qualifications
that
they
actually
did
have
the
passion
to
want
to
do
with
that
go
into
that
type
of
industry.
So
I
think
in
the
inner
south
we've
got,
we've
got
all
the
problems
that
have
always
been
there.
I'm
not
saying
that
it
hasn't
moved
on,
because
if
you
look
at
the
things
and
the
in
middleton
and
by
the
learning
you
look
at
the
house,
prices
that
are
going
up
and
all
the
things
that
have
been
brought
in
by
the
council.
C
Let's
not
talk
ourselves
down,
we've
done
a
lot
of
good
work
and
brought
a
lot
into
all
the
areas
of
the
inner
south,
but
we
always
knew
that
it
would
be
the
biggest
challenge
and
on
the
inner
staff.
I
think
we
need
to
take
people
with
us
on
the
journey
because
it
says
how
does
how
can
your
local
communities
play
their
part
and
what
strengths
can
they
draw
upon?
Well,
actually,
kovid
has
proved
that
a
lot
of
people
have
had
to
actually
change
their
lives.
They
have
reimagined
their
businesses,
they
turned
into
takeaway
shops.
Overnight.
C
Did
our
local
cafes,
many
of
the
people
who
live
in
our
community
set
up
their
own
businesses
from
home
and
now
have
two
jobs,
so
I
think
they're
quite
capable
of
doing
even
more,
and
I
think
that
it's
not
always
about
money
that
we
talk.
We
should
always
talk
about.
We
should
talk
about
how
to
help
others
thrive
in
terms
of
what
all
the
support
can
we
give
them?
How
can
we
encourage
them?
As
andrew
just
said
earlier,
we've
said
we
can't
keep
funding.
C
So
how
can
we
make
sure
that
all
our
organizations
have
the
right
support,
help
and
are
connected
to
either
business
offered
of
the
third
sector,
organizations
that
make
them
thrive,
and
I
think
the
other,
the
other
thing
that
we've
got
to
do
to
be
the
best
city,
and
it's
really
difficult
and
it's
conversation
we're
having
and
is,
we've
got
to
be
a
zero
cabin
city
and
that's
going
to
be
a
huge
challenge
for
us
to
get
that
model
shift.
C
But
elizabeth
reminded
me
on
a
phone
call
today
that
it
was
her
who
really
pushed
for
stutter
and
pack
and
ride.
It
was
elizabeth
that
wanted
all
the
bus
priority
corridors
and
we're
talking
quite
a
number
of
years
ago,
but
that
will
help
you
know,
get
people
out
of
cars
and
help
people
brave
and
sorry
that
their
chair.
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you.
I
wouldn't
actually
disagree
with
anything.
That's
been
said,
but
again,
if
I
may
just
one
ask
a
question
and
then
make
some
observations,
so
one
I'm
always
kind
of
suspicious
and
I'll
take
real
kind
of
responsibility
for
my
suspiciousness
when
we
talk
about
relative
poverty,
because
I
think
that
term
hides
a
myriad
of
problems.
L
So
if
we're
going
to
actually
tackle
poverty,
particularly
child
problem,
we
need
to
talk
in
absolute
poverty
and
that
then,
that
that
does
expose
what
the
real
issues
are,
because,
obviously
poverty
relative
to
well,
I
don't
have
to
explain
what
relative
poverty
is,
but
it's
it's
kind
of
a
emperor's
new
clause.
Way
of
examining
that
that
statistic.
Sorry,
if
that's
kind.
D
L
Harsh,
but
it's
I've
always
had
that
feeling
about
relative
versus
absolute
poverty,
and
we
talk
about
well-being
in
almost
every
meeting
or
scenario.
I'm
in
and
again
I
think
it's
it's
becoming
almost
a
throwaway
term
that
we
just
throw
into
the
mix,
well-being
and
everybody
will
nod
and
say:
yeah
yeah
we're
all
committed
to
improving
well-being.
I
think
we
really
need
to
drill
down
and
it's
something
that
kind
of
being
involved
in
into
what
that
definition
means,
and
obviously
it
means
a
a
myriad
of
things,
but
out
to
have
an
umbrella
term
of
well-being.
L
That's
like
trying
to
eat
an
elephant.
Isn't
it
so
I'd
like
to
see
some
more
work
around
drilling
down?
What
does
it
actually
mean?
And
with
that
in
mind,
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
needs
to
happen
in
leeds
big
issues
for
leads
and
I'm
sure,
there's
a
whole
raft
of
them.
But
one
of
them
is
that
people
in
in
inner
south,
at
least
the
people
I've
spoken
to
happy
for
others
to
disagree.
They
feel
completely
left
behind.
L
So
they
see
lots
and
lots
of
in
you
were
nodding.
Then
I'm
so
happy
see
lots
of
investment
in
the
city
center,
but
that
doesn't
actually
impact
upon
them,
because
if
you
don't
have
the
money
you're
not
going
to
be
going
to
theater
you're
not
going
to
be
doing
that
and
they
see
that
the
area
they're
living
quite
frankly
becoming
run
down
and
poverty
levels
going
up.
L
L
There's
a
whole
thing,
particularly
in
the
south,
and
I
used
to
manage
job
center
many
years
ago
and
the
problem's
still
the
same.
It's
about
aspiration
and
innovation,
and
I
would
agree
with
with
what
kim
said
about
people
who
want
to
perhaps
work
on
a
building
site
can't
get
the
cscs
card
because
they
don't
have
the
required
skills.
But
to
me,
if
we
get
people
leaving
school
without
the
required
skills,
we
need
to
go
back
to
our
education
system.
L
We
need
to
be
tackling
the
schools
we
need
to
be,
and
I
know
we've
got
the
academy
thing,
but
that's
where
the
problem
is.
Isn't
it
and
there's
a
whole
thing
about
familial
involvement
as
well
so
yeah
when
they
leave?
We
should
be
including
high
quality
traineeships
that
will
lead
to
an
apprenticeship
because
and
elite
council
are
quite
selective.
L
So
we've
left
a
whole
raft
of
young
people
underneath
that
there's
a
lot
of
training
providers
who
are
quite
stupid,
really
and
they're
the
minute
for
the
money
and
those
young
people,
perhaps
don't
get
that
that
good
experience
that
they
should
so,
I
think
traineeships
for
them
they're
a
route
into
that
and
that
can
be
really
heavily
monitored
and
our
clause
just
with
the
thing
about
devolve
funds
and
we
need,
I
think
we
should
consider
doing
things
differently,
because
whenever
there
is
a
funding
round
and
again,
I'm
being
a
bit
out
there
out
a
bit
left-wing,
the
same
people,
the
same
third
sector
people,
the
same
organizations
generally
are
allocated
funding.
L
Are
they
they
win,
commissioned
work,
and
I
know
perhaps
there's
some
comfort
in
going
where
you've
always
gone
or
or
being,
I
think,
there's
a
thing
about.
We
need
to
encourage
a
more
diverse
range
of
people,
because
that's
the
way
forward,
isn't
it
and
that's
the
way
that
we
can
bring
more
people
in
communities?
L
M
Mr
my
I
mean
I
was
so
excited
in
2015
when
we
started
working
on
the
bid
for
leeds
as
capital
of
culture
in
2023.
Unfortunately,
things
kind
of
didn't
quite
work
that
way,
and
we
had
the
brexit.
You
know
in
the
mix
and
unfortunately,
unfortunately,
for
some
we're
out
of
of
europe,
but
that
european
capital
of
culture
dream.
M
I
think,
in
a
way
to
some
people
was
shattered,
but
I'm
really
pleased
that
leeds
is
still
celebrating
2023
as
a
year
of
culture,
which
would
be
you
know
in
a
way,
in
a
way,
a
step
really
forward
to
the
you
know,
to
the
hope
that
leads
is
for
for
the
contemporary
yorkshire
culture
and
and
whatever
you
and
with
all
the
population
and
with
all
the
diversity
and
various
events
such
as
you
know,
one
of
the
biggest
west
indian
carnivals,
where
you
live,
counselor
thousand
you
know
and
so
on,
and
also
we
have
in
in
the
south.
M
M
So
I
would
really
urge
yourself
to
kindly
utilize
all
this
talent
that
we've
got
this
diversity,
that
we've
got
in
our
in
the
inner
south
and
engage
with
some
of
these
organizations
who
could
play
a
very
useful
role
in
terms
of
making
that
year
of
culture,
even
more
colorful
and
even
a
bigger
success.
Thank
you.
A
K
And
then
last
minute,
just
a
quick
one.
My
colleagues
have
touched
some
very
important
points
and
briefly
the
education
meet,
and
this
there's
so
many
children
coming
out
of
schools
without
any
education
and
employment
and
skill,
and
it's
been
going
on
for
years
ever
since
I've
been
a
counselor,
we've
really
not
been
able
to
tackle
it.
So
we've
heard
the
term
two
two-speed
city
we're
all
available,
there's
so
much
prosperity,
but
section
of
communities
are
not
benefiting
from
that
prosperity
and
jeremy
and
you
used
to
sit
on.
K
We
were
part
of
edu
skills
and
trading
for
a
while,
and
that's
when
I
learned
that
to
get
an
apprenticeship
in
any
type
of
building
site,
you
needed
a
level
in
maths
and
english,
no
gcse,
sorry
gcse,
and
you
know
those
people
going
into
a
normal
trade
on
apprenticeship.
It's
so
difficult,
so
those
those
kids
youngsters
are
left
behind
without
any
skill,
without
any
training
without
any
education
and
we've
really
not
been
able
to.
K
It
is
an
educational
issue,
but
it's
part
of
the
city
plan,
so
it's
been
going,
we've
really
not
been
able
to
tackle
it.
That's
all.
I
want
to
say.
A
Right,
I'm
going
to
put
kate
and
joe
out
there.
How
are
they
under
the
thing,
because
both
of
these
work
with
the
very
young
people
that
we're
talking
about
and
I've
been
to
their
groups-
and
some
of
them
will
not
get
jobs
in
the
future
because
they've
just
not
been
educated,
and
I
think
the
most
interesting
thing
that
sharon
said
was
a
lead
city
council.
We
only
taken
for
nvq
level,
three,
what
happens
to
the
ones
and
twos.
A
What,
because,
when
I
was
young,
all
you
had
to
have
to
get
on
a
building
site
was
the
one
ability
to
want
to
work
turn
up
on
time
and
do
the
job.
I
think
we're
getting
a
bit
too
into
qualifications
rather
than
because
something
I'm
dyslexic.
I
didn't
get
a
good
education,
I
haven't
got
many
certificates
and
it
was
through
the
trade
unions
that
I
got
my
education
and,
if
it
hadn't
been
for
that,
I'd
have
just
done
nothing.
A
So
I
think
we've
got
to
really
go
down
to
what
the
kids
need
when
they
lead
school
and
they
need
to
be
doing
nvq
level,
one
two
and
once
they
get
going,
they
will
do
three
four
and
five,
but
the
need,
that's
that
you
can't
jump
in
now.
If
we're
on
a
ship,
you
need
to
start
at
the
beginning
of
the
journey.
So
just
to
give
you
a
bit
of
in
time
there.
That's.
Why
we're
talking
to?
Let
you
have
a
say
so
off.
You
go
okay,.
J
Yeah,
definitely,
I
think,
I'd
agree
with
a
lot
of
what
has
been
said
by
a
lot
of
the
councillors
and
just
actually
picking
up
on
another
point
as
well
in
terms
of
the
accessing
the
city
and
the
investment
in
the
city.
So
we
work
with
a
lot
of
young
people
who
would
just
never
come
to
leeds
city
center
like
that
as
in
and
I
do
a
lot
of
work
around
holbeck.
That's
where
I
live.
J
I
mean
that's
so
close
to
the
city
center,
but
would
they
they
just
wouldn't
go
there
because
of
the
distance
because
of
the
connectivity
that
andrew
was
talking
about,
and
so
I
think
like
there
is
that
disconnect
between,
like
people
feel
like
owning
leads
as
their
city
and
owning
holbeck
as
their
neighborhood.
If
that
makes
sense
and
how
we
kind
of
join
those
things
up
and
yeah
as
councillor
gabriel,
was
speaking
about
the
education,
and
it
feels
like
almost
kind
of
the
lack
of
self-esteem
is
a
massive
thing.
J
Almost
there's
there's
still
the
attitude
for
a
lot
of
the
young
people
that
we
work
with,
which
is,
I
might
come
from
holbeck,
I'm
not
going
to
amount
to
much
and
almost
right
from
the
outset.
There's
kind
of
that.
That's
there
and
a
lack
of
support
to
kind
of
change.
Any
mindset
on
that-
and
I
think,
both
both
myself
and
joe
that's
kind
of
what
we're
passionate
about
doing
kind
of
showing
these
young
people
that
there's
there
is
more
that
there
is
opportunities,
and
actually
they
can
do
these
things.
J
But
it's
just
so.
I
think
those
very
young
people
really
need
to
be
considered
in
any
of
these
plans
because
they
are
the
young
people
who
do
get
left
behind
and
do
get
kind
of
a
raw
deal
sometimes
out
of
these
things,
but
there's
so
much
potential.
I
guess
like
when
what
strengths
can
we
draw
upon,
like
these?
Very
young
people
are
the
strengths
in
in
our
city.
There's
so
much
to
give
they've
got
so
much
creativity,
so
much
passion,
it's
just
channeling
it
in
the
right
thing.
So
yeah.
I
Thanks
kate
and
thank
you
for
the
councils
that
are
shared
because
I
totally
agree
with
a
lot
of
what's
been
said.
I
would
I
would
love
to
give
the
opportunity.
I
would
love
to
delve
into
this
deeper
with
somebody
I've
spent
years.
Looking
at
this,
I
did
my
master's
in
I'll
write
all
the
bits
and
pieces
and
I've
spent
20
years
working
high
in
the
state.
I
Like
we
I
mean
our
young
people
like
like
with
kate
like
I
live
in
beeston,
and
you
know:
we've
had
13
deaths
through
hanging
stabbings
and
just
in
a
one
square
mile
radius.
Just
over
the
last
few
years,
the
majority
of
my
young
people
could
tell
you
what
heroin
smells
like.
They
know
where
the
crap
dens
are,
but
they
cannot
tell
you
the
time
they
can't
read
the
time
on
9
o'clock.
I
You
know
they
are
so
educationally
behind,
but,
like
kate
said,
they
are
full
of
potential
in
terms
of
the
strategy.
From
an
educational
point
of
view,
I
think
there
needs
to
be
a
huge
shift
in
how
we
look
at
that,
and
I
do
think,
there's
some
wonderful
provision
for
young
people
whose
brains
work
in
a
certain
way-
or
you
know,
have
a
a
relative
level
of
stability
at
home,
but
the
majority
of
kids
that
certainly
I
work
with,
and
I
would
take
a
good
guess
that
kate
works
with.
I
I
would
say
that
our
young
people
have
trauma
brains
so
much
like
the
hierarchy
of
muslims
hierarchy
of
needs.
I
believe
there
is
a
hierarchy
of
of
the
brain
and
most
of
our
kids
don't
get
past
the
initial
brainstem
part,
which
gives
them
no
opportunity
to
develop
to
learn
to
grow
in
the
way
that
they
need
to,
and
I
think
our
systems
make
it
worse.
I
I
have
kids
that
are
really
traumatized
at
school
through
being
you
know,
put
in
isolation
through
and
being
restrained
and
then
don't
cope
in
that
environment,
because
at
home
they
are
surrounded
by
drugs,
climate
violence
as
a
standard
day-to-day
norm-
and
you
know
through
covid
we
have
seen-
I
mean
a
number
of
our
parents-
have
got
lost
into
addiction.
You
know,
we've
had
to
play
parts
in
taking,
you
know
helping
to
remove
kids
from
their
families
or-
and
it's
been
a
very,
very
messy
season.
I
I
mean
we
have
worked
every
day
of
it
and
you
know,
because
of
the
nature
of
the
kids
that
we
work
with,
but
I
I
think
that
you
know
our
young
people
generally
and
over
the
last
10
years.
I
think
you
know
our
education
system
and
other
systems
teach
our
teach.
Our
young
people
just
teach
that
you
know
they
are
consider.
They
teach
people
that
we're
consumable
commodities,
and
I
I
fundamentally
disagree
with
that,
and
I
think
that
you
know
we
talk
about
well-being
as
a
city.
I
I
think
the
thing
that
we
need
to
teach
everybody
is
about
innate
value
and
what
that
really
means.
Fundamentally
in
people's
lives
and
because,
as
we
teach
people
that
they're
consumable
commodities,
there's
no
such
thing
as
truth-
divorce
choice
from
responsibility,
we
end
up,
in
my
opinion,
where
we've
ended
up
with
a
huge
bridge
in
you
know,
between
poverty
and
possibility.
I
You
know,
students
from
universities
and
with
the
greatest
of
respect,
I
wouldn't
employ
them,
and
so
they
you
know
they
can
have
the
qualifications,
but
they
don't
have
the
life
experience,
and
I
need
people
on
the
ground
who
understand
what
it
is
like
to
not
be
able
to
have
enough
money
to
eat.
You
know
to
to
know
what
it's
like
to
have.
You
know
the
traumas
that
they've
experienced
as
a
day-to-day
norm
like
our
streets
run
off
drugs.
They
do,
and
you
know
most
of
our
kids
wear
stolen
clothes.
It
is
their
norms.
I
That
is
what
they
know
and
it's
not
because
they're
bad
people
or
bad
parents.
That
is
what
they
grew
up
knowing
and
that's
how
they've
learned
to
survive-
and
you
know,
we've
seen
a
huge
increase
in
drugs
and
crime
and
violence
over
the
last
few
years.
I
mean
I've
lived
in
beeston
for
15
years
and
just
that
you
know
the
amount
of
drug
paraphernalia.
Excuse
me,
human
extreme.
I
You
know,
like
used
contraception,
that
we
have
to
pick
off
the
streets
before
we
can
run
a
session
with
young
people
is
absolutely
disgusting,
and
you
know,
and
even
in
the
ways
of
you
know
my
team.
You
know
some
of
them
are
on
benefits
and
I
only
have
a
small
team
and
but
in
terms
of
you
know,
for
those
that
are
on
benefits
and
work
with
me.
They
lose
60,
odd,
p
of
every
pound.
I
They
earn-
and
I
think,
with
the
greatest
of
respect
that
that
is,
is
disgusting
and
I
think
it's
hugely
demoralizing
for
people
it
doesn't
get
the
systems,
don't
encourage
people
to
go
to
work
and
and
and
they
should-
and
I
I
you
know,
I
think
that
we
need
to
look
at
how
we
strategically
plan
how
to
get
our
kids
onto
apprenticeships,
for
them
to
last
because
hinder
state
is
about
day-to-day
survival,
and
you
know
they
don't
long-term
plan.
Sometimes
it
drives
me
nuts,
but
you
know
what
I
mean
when
you're
trying
to
plan
it.
I
But
if
I
don't
remind
our
young
people
that
we're
doing
stuff,
they
won't
be
there
not
because
they
don't
want
to
be
there.
You
know,
but
because
that's
not
how
they've
been
taught
to
think
and
if
we
don't
bridge
some
of
the
gaps,
I
mean
to
say:
we've
seen
a
massive
deterioration
over
the
last
15
years
in
some
respects
and
don't
get
me
wrong.
I
And
if
we
don't
do
something
we
are
in
trouble
and-
and
I
mean
that
nationally
in
terms
of
as
we
move
things
forward,
and
I
think
you
know
the
ripple
effects
of
that
across
you
know,
well-being
across
you
know
like
ev,
every
every
different
area
I
mean
I
did
my
post-grad
in
counseling
and
psychotherapy
like
there's
so
so
many
areas
of
that
that
are
relevant
to
the
stuff
that
we
do,
but
most
of
our
families
can't
touch
the
side
of
it
and
there
is
a
massive
like
issue
with
housing
and
a
whole
variety
of
other
bits
and
pieces.
I
I
We
are
the
ones
that
can
probably
tell
you
what's
really
going
on
and
because
we
are
the
ones
that
people
will
come
to
and
because
and
with
funding
like
I,
I
hear
what
you're
saying
I
like
regarding
different
bits
and
pieces,
but
I
also
think
that
we
need
to
look
at
how
we
can
strategically
support
stuff
beyond
six
months
beyond
a
year,
because
we
need
stability
and
there
has
to
be
stability
on
the
ground.
You
know
we're
not
going
to
end
up
like
a
10-year
plan
is
great.
I
Do
you
know
what
I
mean
and
but
it's
a
beginning
you
know
when
we're
working
on
the
ground
as
hard
as
we
are
like
a
year
at
a
time
we
don't
know
whether
or
not
we're
going
to
be
there
you're
limited,
and
so
I
think,
there's
lots
of
questions
right
across
the
board
that
I
would
like
to
delve
into
a
lot
deeper.
Thank
you.
A
D
D
The
kind
of
that
role
model
that
that
we
offer
that
we
need
in
place
at
all
times,
so
I
just
want
to
back
you
up
that
100.
A
Thank
you
for
that.
I'm
going
to
cl,
bring
it
to
a
close,
because
I
think
everybody's
had
a
chance
to
have
the
say.
I'd
like
to,
if
you
remember
at
the
beginning,
jane
said
that
the
the
group
are
willing
to
come
out.
So
if
you
want
to
hold
like
a
little
youth
summit
and
let
let
them
the
kids,
you
know
let
them
have
their
say,
because
if
we
don't
start
out
the
kids,
you
know
I'm
I'm
on
my
way
out
as
they
say.
A
F
Just
just
to
finish
off
chair,
then
I
think
it
is
all
around
aspirations
but
aspirations
with
reality.
You
know,
and
and
one
thing
we
do
need
to
build
in
our
young
people.
F
Whatever
the
outcome
is
resilience
because
without
resilience
you
haven't
got
anything
but
our
our
former
director
of
education
hearing
leeds
had
a
saying
he
said
everything
comes
from
everything
everywhere
else,
so
I
mean
I'm
looking
across
at
peter
and
and
your
experiences,
because
the
young
people
who
don't
achieve
at
school
come
out
of
the
system
at
16
or
18,
but
what
got
them
to
where
they
are,
because
we've
got
a
best
start
program.
Healthy
eating
for
mothers
will
actually
be
a
better
outcome
for
the
the
baby.
F
Early
education
will
mean
starting
school
in
a
better
position.
So
it's
it's
at
what
stage
is
that
breaking
down?
And
what
can
we
do
so?
You've
got
the
you're
looking
ahead,
almost
so
you're
dealing
with
the
situation
now
and
the
young
people
that
we've
got
now,
but
a
plan
means
what
are
we
also
looking
at
that?
Can
stop
young
people
getting
into
that
position
so
that
they
come
out
at
age
16
with
life
experience
with
better
qualifications,
with
the
the
situation
that
they
are
to
move
forward?
F
And
it
isn't
it's
young
people
absolutely
great,
but
without
the
businesses,
without
actually
putting
the
the
work
in
working
with
our
businesses
to
actually
take
young
people
on
at
level
one
and
and
accepting
them
and
training
them
up
without
working
with
our
businesses
and
making
sure
we've
got
a
thriving
city
to
do
that
and
it's
it's
how
to
put
all
those
jigsaw
pieces
into
place,
and
it
isn't
all
about
one
group:
it's
about
making
sure
that
every
group
is
supported
and
moves
forward.
F
So
I
think
the
expression
I
used
was
no
one
left
behind
and
I
know
it's
a
big
sort
of
grandiose
thing
to
say,
but
we've
got
to
aim
for
that.
We've
got
to
make
sure
our
older
people
are
looked
after.
F
Our
people
who
are
struggling
mentally
looked
after
make
sure
that
our
businesses
feel
supported
so
that
they
want
to
come
to
leeds,
invest
in
leads,
so
we
can
provide
those
jobs
for
people.
So
it's
it's
it's!
It's
a
really
complicated
thing,
and
sometimes
it
blows
my
mind.
This
sort
of
scale
we're
the
second
biggest
city
outside
london.
It's
a
huge
thing,
but
if
we
get
it
right,
the
benefits
are
going
to
be
phenomenal
for
the
city.
So
we
did
come
here
to
listen.
F
I'm
sorry,
I've
talked
so
long,
but
we're
not
stopping
listening,
get
in
touch
with
us
out
of
the
meeting.
Let's
have
your
thoughts.
If
you
want
us
to
come
to
things
and
go
through
it
and
listen,
then
that's
what
we're
here
to
do,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
do
have
to
come
up
with
a
plan
or
or
a
strata.
I
hate
the
word
strategy,
but
we've
got
to
look
at
something
and
I
say
it's
got
to
be
aspirational.
Otherwise,
why?
Why
are
we
bothering?
A
Oh
you're,
okay.
I
know
we've
overrun
on
this
issue,
but
I
think
it's
so
important
that
everybody
had
to
say
so
that
you
go
away
and
look
at
all
these.
It's
about
fine
balancing
act,
but
the
kids
live
with
chaotic
lives,
because
the
parents
live
chaotic
lives
because
the
grandmothers
live,
chaotic
lives.
You
know
if
you've
got
people
going
out
doing
three
jobs
or
you've
got
your
mother,
that's
out
of
a
red
on
drugs
or
alcohol,
the
kids
and
it's
that
sort
of
looking
at
the
holistic.
How
we
get
the
cycle
to
stop.
A
I
remember
one
woman
saying
to
me
that
she
saw
a
child
and
she
knew
that
their
kids
would
be
niece
and
they
uneven
got
to
puberty
because
she
can
see
that
they're
not
going
to
advance
and
that's
what
we've
got
to
try
and
break
that
cycle.
So
I
shall
get
off
my
hobby
horse
and
stop
now.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
the
next
service
we're
going
to
talk
about
is
libraries
which
I
think
actually
is
part
of
the
solution
so
I'll
hand
over
to
libraries
to
do
your
speech.
So
thank
you
both
for
coming.
E
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
chair
and
thank
you
for
that
introduction
because
I
could
have
put
it
better
myself.
I
would
like
to
say
I
do
think
libraries
have
got
an
important
role
to
play
in
a
lot
of
what
we've
been
talking
about
throughout
this
meeting
today.
E
So
obviously
the
paper's
been
circulated,
and
hopefully
people
have
had
a
chance
to
read
it.
I'm
just
going
to
do
a
few
words
of
introduction.
E
Ostensibly
the
purpose
of
the
report,
as
stated,
is
really
to
update
the
committee
on
what
activity
the
library
service
has
been
engaged
in
during
the
past
18
months
or
so
of
the
pandemic,
but
also
to
update
you
on
the
key
priorities
of
offer.
E
I
was
going
to
say
our
service
recovery
strategy,
but
I
don't
want
to
use
that
word
anymore,
so
service
recovery
plan,
but
but
really.
Equally
importantly,
I
would
like
to
see
this
really
as
the
start
of
a
more
regular
dialogue
about
the
development
of
the
library
service
in
your
area.
E
I
recognize
very
much
and
I'm
really
mindful
of
the
fact
that
the
report
as
it
stands
is
very
much
from
a
city-wide
perspective,
but
what
I
would
like
to
propose
is
that
we
use
this
as
a
starting
point,
and
I
come
back
maybe
around
next
spring,
to
give
you
a
bit
more
of
an
update
with
a
more
of
a
local
flavor,
but
then
come
back
on
a
more
regular
basis
on
an
annual
basis
to
really
talk
about
the
breadth
and
depth
of
provision
in
the
inner
south
area
and
the
take-up
of
those
services.
E
So,
as
I
say,
I
haven't
got
a
further
presentation
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
the
report
line
by
line,
but
just
to
highlight
you
know.
The
report
is
very
much
in
two
halves.
The
first
section
provides
an
overview
of
our
work
during
the
the
pandemic
when
we
transitioned
to
mainly
a
digital
service.
Obviously
we
had
ebooks,
but
our
growth
in
ebook
borrowing
has
really
took
off
and
actually
has
been
sustained,
but
we
also
purchased
new
digital
platforms.
You
can
now
get
any
newspaper
in
the
world.
E
It
is
fantastic
service
and-
and
you
know
what
we've
been
talking
about-
poverty-
it's
it's
about-
that
is
a
real
cost,
saving
that
you
can
get
magazines
and
newspapers
free
from
the
local
library.
You
know
it
is
there
as
a
real
support
people,
but
we've
also
purchased
new
platforms
such
as
niche
academy,
which
basically
provides
tutorials
on
how
to
access
things
digitally
so
a
whole
host
of
services.
We've
got
and
we
also
delivered
a
whole
host
of
online
activities,
including
code
clubs
and
lego
cards,
clubs
for
children
and
families
online.
E
I
think
one
of
the
services
we
did
deliver
that
I
felt
really
passionate
about
was
our
keep
in
touch
project
which,
as
I
outlined
in
the
report,
we
made
contact
with
about
9
000
of
our
library,
customers
and
some
of
those
requested
really
regular
communication.
E
Some
of
them
liked
a
regular
phone
call,
particularly
those
people
who
were
more
isolated,
and
I
think
the
fact
that
we
were
the
local
library
phoning
up
just
to
check
out
how
people
were
doing
really.
Let
them
know
what
was
happening
with
the
library
service.
We
were
then
able
to
sign
post
them
onto
other
services,
but
it
felt
quite
welcoming,
as
opposed
to
being
the
covert
helpline
phoning
or
something
it
just
people
felt
quite
comforted
by
that.
E
But
the
report
then
goes
on
to
continue
with
an
update
about
how
we're
looking
to
develop
and
deliver
our
service
in
the
future,
and
some
of
that
digital
provision
we
started
will
continue,
but
our
priorities
for
our
future
developments
are
very
much
around
the
five
priority
areas
of
economic
recovery,
children
and
young
people,
health
and
well-being,
digital
inclusion
and
learning
and
our
books,
reading
and
culture
agenda,
and
I
think,
they're
all
things
in
one
way
or
another
that
have
come
up
in
the
conversation
during
today's
meeting.
E
So
I
give
a
few
indications
throughout
the
report
of
some
of
the
key
activities
that
we're
going
to
be
starting
to
develop
under
each
of
those
priority
areas.
So,
just
under
economic
recovery,
a
really
important
service
we
deliver.
There
is
our
bipc
service,
business
and
intellectual
property
centre,
which
we
deliver
in
conjunction
with
the
british
library
and
it's
basically
support
for
startup
businesses
and
a
real
strength
of
our
service.
E
Our
business
support
service
in
the
library
is,
we
engage
really
well
with
young
people
with
women
and
with
fame
communities,
and
that
is
something
really
unique,
and
I
think
it's
about
the
accessibility
of
libraries
and
I
think
the
really
exciting
thing
about
that
service
is
we're
working
now
with
our
partners,
our
fellow
library
colleagues
in
west
yorkshire,
but
also
really
exciting,
we're
starting
to
deliver
that
service
in
each
locality
across
leeds.
So
there's
actually
going
to
be
business,
support
on
the
high
street
at
local
libraries
and
that
isn't
always
about
high-end.
E
We're,
not
high-end,
we're
very
much
about
sort
of
small-scale
businesses.
So,
basically
we'll
meet
somebody
who's
good
at
crafting,
and
we
can
say:
have
you
ever
thought
of
selling
that
online
and
we
could
support
them
to
sell
online
and
we
could
support
them
with
basic
digital
skills
around
setting
up
their
business.
So
it's
a
unique
service
and
something
we're
really
keen
to
engage
with
young
people
on
as
well.
E
So
our
children
and
young
people's
services
is
a
real
priority
for
us.
We've
been
busy
over
the
summer
supporting
the
holiday
hunger
programs
and
also
the
summer
reading
challenge,
and
our
focus
from
september
is
going
to
be
very
much
on
our
early
years
offer
so
our
offer
to
babies
and
children,
babies
and
young
children
under
five.
E
I
really
believe
that
is
a
very
important
area
for
us,
because
I
think
I
keep
saying
this,
but
if
we
want
to
keep
young
children
out
of
long-term
poverty
and
out
of
the
criminal
justice
system,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
they
can
read
and
that's
why
I
feel
particularly
passionate
about
that
part
of
our
service
and
outside
today,
at
councillor
gabriel's
request,
we
have
the
story,
bus,
which
is
our
brand
new
story,
bus
which
is
going
to
be
traveling
around
the
city,
sharing
books
and
stories,
but
for
those
children,
age
naught
to
five
and
their
families,
and
you
can
get
a
flavor
of
what
that's
like
and
we're
really
open
to
having
ideas
about
where
that
will
go
and
how
we
can
engage
with
families
with
that
without
service,
health
and
well-being.
E
Again,
something
else
that's
been
mentioned
today.
I
believe
that
libras
play
an
incredibly
important
role
in
supporting
health
and
well-being,
particularly
that
isolation
agenda.
It's
a
place
where
you
can
go,
it's
a
place,
that's
free!
It's
warm!
It's
friendly!
It's
welcoming
and
we
have
a
whole
range
of
activities,
events
and
activities
that
people
can
go
to,
but
you
don't
have
to
go
to
an
event
activity.
E
You
can
sit
and
look
at
them
on
your
own,
or
you
could
actually
start
a
conversation
with
somebody
so
just
ways
that
we
can
start
to
engage
the
community
with
talking
with
each
other,
but
we're
also
looking
to
develop
a
manual
of
activities
that
will
support
with
social
prescribing
and
not
forgetting.
Of
course,
one
of
our
most
important
resources
around
particularly
mental
health
and
well-being
is
our
books.
So
just
six
minutes
reading
is
evidence-based
to
support
relieve
stress
and
anxiety.
E
So
we
often
talk
about
the
importance
of
mindfulness.
I
find
it
quite
difficult
to
do
that
because
I'm
not
sure
if
I've
drifted
off
enough,
but
actually
reading
has
the
same
impact.
You
are
actually
taken
through
the
narrative
of
the
story
to
a
different
place
to
different
characters.
You
can
lose
yourself
in
that
story,
so
I
don't
think
we
do
enough
to
talk
about
the
well-being
impacts
of
reading,
which
is
why
we
want
to
really
encourage
young
children
to
develop
that
habit
as
well.
E
Digital
has
come
up
today.
Digital
inclusion
is
absolutely
the
heart
of
our
offer.
We're
actually
rebranding
our
digital
provision,
digital
121.
We
provide
free
access
to
wi-fi
to
public
access
computers
and
to
ipads
through
our
library
service
and
we're
looking
now
at
refreshing,
our
face-to-face
digital
skills,
support
that
will
be
running
across
the
city
as
well.
E
E
We're
looking
to
roll
out
a
programme
of
reading
friends,
which
is
a
befriending
service
which
is
going
to
really
replace
our
library
at
home
service.
So,
instead
of
a
van
driving
around
the
city,
dropping
off
books
to
those
people
who
are
so
isolated,
they
can't
get
to
a
library
themselves
or
they
don't
have
family
or
friends.
E
We're
looking
to
engage
with
local
members
of
the
community
that,
when
they're
out
and
about
might
just
pick
up
a
library
book
and
drop
it
off
on
the
way
back
and
have
a
conversation
that
might
start
with
reading
that
might.
But
that
might
go
on
to
other
things
so
really
linking
up
those
who
are
isolated
with
other
people
within
the
community.
E
I
feel
a
bit
reluctant
to
mention
how
excited
I
am
about
our
plans
for
central
library,
but
I
am
going
to
mention
it.
But
we've
got
this
hopefully
really
exciting
project
that
we're
bidding
to
arts
council
for
funding,
for
we've
been
invited
to
the
second
stage,
but
actually
just
picking
up
on
what
was
being
said
about
young
people
in
the
areas
not
wanting
to
come
into
the
city.
It's
about
redeveloping
our
music
library
and
that's
about
going
to
be
having
potentially
dj
equipment.
E
It's
going
to
be
having
recording
booths.
It's
a
way
of
really
engaging
young
people
in
music.
Young
people
who
might
in
the
past
have
come
to
the
city
to
go
to
those
music
shops
that
are
no
longer
there,
but
actually
creating
a
focal
point
for
young
people,
but
actually
the
whole
community
of
leads
around
music.
E
So
that's
going
to
be
amazing,
so
we've
just
completed
a
staffing
review
and
we've
aligned
the
new
roles
within
the
structure
according
to
these
service
priorities.
So,
hopefully
I've
given
you
just
a
little
flavor
there.
Sorry,
I
can
talk
a
long
time
about
the
range
of
activity
that
we've
got
coming
up
in
the
next
12
to
18
months.
I'll
just
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you've
got.
E
A
You
it's
always
nice
to
hear
people
who
are
passionate
about
the
subject,
and
I
can
tell
the
libraries
runs
through
your
core.
As
I
was
going
to
say,
the
library
bus
is
coming
about
four
o'clock
as
it
already
here.
I
just
thought
you
should
all
see
what
it
looks
like
and
inside
as
well,
because
we
don't
always
get
it,
and
one
of
the
other
things
that
I
find
quite
good
is
that
we
as
a
council
have
stopped
fining
people
for
not
returning
books.
A
I
know
a
lot
of
people
think
you
know
if
I
borrow
a
book
and
I
keep
it
over
three
or
four
weeks
I'll
never
be
able
to
return
it.
So
we've
stopped
that
so
people
can
come
into
the
library
borrow
a
book
and
if
they
forget
to
bring
it
back
for
six
weeks
or
six
months,
we're
not
gonna
find
you.
The
other
thing
I
like
with
being
dyslexic
is
the
tips
that
you
do
and
the
cds
you
know
storybooks.
A
H
I
thank
you
for
your
presentation
and
your
report.
Just
a
couple
of
questions.
I
I
don't
know
if
you'll
have
these
answers,
because
they're
sort
of
inner
self
specific,
I'm
gonna
just
be
interested
to
know
a
little
bit
about
how
our
take
up
of
the
library
offer
is
for
based
in
holbeck
versus
sort
of
other
areas
of
the
city
and
or
how
many
people
we
get
in,
and
I
guess
just
comment
on
that
question.
H
For
example,
the
there's
an
entrance
on
the
main
street
side
now
and
that
sort
of
thing
I
think,
really
increases
the
number
of
people
who
who
go
in
just
because
it's
a
bit
easier
to
get
into,
and
obviously
I'm
keen
to
see
more
and
people
who
are
who
are
not
natural
readers
who
don't
want
to
read
so
much
in
their
free
time
coming
into
the
library,
because
that's
how
you
engage
people
in
books
is
by
enjoying
books-
and
I
guess
the
other
things
in
my
mind-
are
things
like
the
little
libraries
which
we've
seen
pop
up
all
over
the
place,
which
are,
I
think,
I'm
really
positive
and
then
just
again
on
the
inner
south
bit.
H
The
possibility
of
the
british
library
having
an
a
opening
in
temple
works
is
fantastically
exciting
for
us
as
a
city.
Imagine
it's
quite
exciting
for
the
service
as
well.
Thank
you.
E
So
yeah
the
british
library
start
with
the
last
one
first
yeah,
that's
very
exciting.
For
us,
a
lot
of
my
colleagues
in
other
big
core
cities
are
very
envious.
I
think
that
we've
got
british
library
coming,
but
we
work
really
closely
with
the
british
library,
as
I
say,
the
bipc,
our
business
information
service,
we're
part
of
the
british
libraries
network
of
that.
E
So
we
do
work
with
them
that
we
also
work
with
them
on
a
project
called
living
knowledge
network
and
out
of
that
came
last
a
few
years
ago,
last
year,
a
couple
of
years
ago
now
our
big
harry
potter
exhibition,
which
was
probably
one
of
our
most
exciting
exhibitions,
so
yeah
and
I
think
we've
we've
got
we're
in
a
really
positive
position
to
be
able
to
support
the
british
library.
E
I
like
to
think
that
anyway,
because
we
can
help
them
engage
with
the
community,
so
they
can
come
to
our
local
libraries
in
this
area
to
start
that
engagement
process
with
the
local
community,
because
you
know,
if
you
don't
use
a
local
library,
the
british
library
is
going
to
be
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
off-putting.
I
think
so
how?
How
can
we
broker
that
and
work
with
them?
E
So,
yes,
we
are
working
with
the
british
library
and
I
met
with
their
chief
librarian
via
zoom
not
so
long
ago,
and
we've
started
those
conversations
at
that
at
that
level
as
well.
So
that's
all
good
in
terms
of
use.
I
don't
have
the
the
specific
details
of
that
now,
but
that's
exactly
what
I'm
wanting
to
come
back
to,
so
I
can
give
you
an
update
on
what
your
membership
is
across
the
areas
on
a
library
by
library
basis.
E
What's
the
membership,
what's
the
book
issues
and
how
that
compares
with
other
areas
of
the
city
is
where
I
would
like
to
go
to,
but
also
sort
of
attendance
events
and
feedback
from
events,
but
also
how
schools
are
using
us
through
our
school
library
service.
How
once
we
get
our
schools
visiting
program?
How
many
schools
from
your
areas
are
engaging
with
that?
You
know
the
summer
reading
challenge.
E
A
H
Yeah
thanks
for
that
and
your
point
about
getting
the
local
community
to
the
british
library.
If
it
comes,
it's
really
important,
so
you
heard
kate
earlier
say
that
some
young
people
hadn't
been
outside
of
holbeck,
and
I
guess
where
you
say
albert,
they
don't
mean
all
the
way
to
the
south
bank.
They
mean
really
close
and,
for
example,
the
slung
load
did
a
a
historic
culture,
walk
around
holbeck
and
alan
lane
who's
in
charge
of
said.
Some
families
only
did
half
because
they
said.
H
Oh,
we
don't
go
over
there
because
it's
not
in
our
area,
so
there's
a
real
challenge
there
about
making
the
british
library
part
of
our
community,
and
so
it
feels
like
it's
in
the
community
rather
than
going
there
and
that's
a
connectivity
issue
which
I
think
is
really
big
structural,
one
that
needs
tackling
as
well.
I.
E
Think
it's
about
when
you
go
out
to
those
places,
so
even
with
us
in
the
local
library
going
into
schools
it's
about
what
are
the
hooks
to
get
the
children
back
in
so
for
the
summer
reading
challenge
we
did
bits
of
artwork
that
we
then
sent
a
certificate
home
to
say
it's
on
display
in
your
local
library.
So
how
can
we
get?
What
are
the
hooks
to
get
us?
Get
get
those
families
back
into
the
library
but
yeah.
It's
gonna
be
exciting.
A
M
Thank
you
chair,
a
good
presentation.
I
would
be
really
interested
to
find
out
how
we're
moving
with
times,
because,
obviously
with
kovid
one
positive
thing
that's
come
out
of
this
pandemic
is
that
you
know
we've
progressed
quite
rapidly
in
terms
of
digitalization
agenda.
You
know
lots
of
things
that
we're
supposed
to
take,
maybe
five
to
ten
years.
You
know,
we've
speeded
speeded
it
up
in
a
way,
so
in
terms
of,
for
example,
ebooks,
and
you
know,
sort
of
books
that
you
can
read
online.
M
Does
the
this?
Does
the
library
offer
such
service
as
well,
because
obviously,
kids
now
are
more
reliant
on
their
ipads
and
on
their
computers
and
all
that
so
it'll
be
easier
for
them
to?
E
Yeah,
absolutely,
I
think,
unlike
all
services,
you
know
that
you
know
the
positives.
Are
it's
really
raised
our
game
in
terms
of
our
digital
engagement
offer
we
always
had
ebooks,
but
I
think,
nationally,
across
the
library
services.
The
number
of
the
increase
in
those
issues
has
gone
up
around
170
percent
about
170
nationally,
and
I
think
that
that
that
isn't
tailing
off.
So
I
think,
there's
been
a
much
greater
awareness
of
that
ebook
provision.
But,
as
I
said
before,
it's
not
just
ebooks.
It's
e-audio,
it's
e-magazines,
it's
e-newspapers,
we've
got
so.
E
We've
got
a
whole
plethora
of
comics.
Thank
you.
Katrina,
e-comics
as
well,
so
a
whole
range
of
resources
we've
got
and
not
just
we've,
also
got
for
the
business
program.
We've
got
resources,
databases
that
actually
help
people
learn
how
to
develop
a
business
and
how
to
learn.
You
know
how
to
promote
themselves,
market
information,
niche
academy,
as
I
mentioned
before
niche
academy,
one
of
my
favorites.
This
is
about
like
an
online
tutorial.
E
So
I
think
what
we
need
to
do
is
create
some
a
better
awareness
about
what
the
library
service
has
got
and
what
the
library
service
has
got
to
offer.
So
part
of
our
mission
is
now
getting
out
and
talking
to
people
we've
had
a
program
of
digital
champion
trainings
I
feel
like.
We
need
to
now
need
a
sort
of
program
of
library
champion
trainers
so
that
we
can
create
that
narrative
across
the
city
about
this
is
a
service.
It's
in
your
community.
It's
free!
It's
available.
E
There
is
something
literally
for
everybody,
whether
you're
wanting
to
find
out
about
your
own
family
history,
the
the
history
of
the
city,
the
history
of
your
own
local
community,
whether
you
want
to
oh
we've,
got
a
creator
space.
That's
set
up
in
compton
library,
but
we're
looking
to
have
that
as
a
portable
center
as
well.
So
we've
got
code
on
the
road
that
will
come
out
to
different
libraries,
so
stem
activities
is
something
we
very
much
support,
but
yeah
digital.
M
Yeah
and
just
on
a
positive
note,
thank
you
very
much.
You
just
saved
me
about
250
pounds
because
my
kids
wanted
to
buy
these
comics
and
we
were
just
about
to
buy
the
comics
and
I
said
well,
let's
check
with
the
local
library
and
guess
what
they
had
it.
So
you
saved
person
over
250
pounds.
So
thank
you
for
that.
A
C
And
really
thank
you
because
the
service
has
really
evolved
over
the
years
and
and
you
know
you
bring
a
richness
to
the
communities
and
one
of
the
things
and
I've
actually
used
the
secret
library
to
do
my
family
tree
throughout
lockdown
and
still
engaging
that.
It's
a
super
service,
and
I
just
wanted
to
ask
about
the
structure
and
the
change
in
the
structure
and
because
there's
a
lot
of
quite
senior
posts
there.
And
I
just
want
you
to
confirm
that
the
frontline
teams
will
still
be
in
place
because
they
are
so
valuable
in
our
communities.
E
Yeah,
the
beating
heart
of
the
library
service,
you
know
they're
the
people
that
are
on
the
front
line
when,
when
you
know
you
get
that
new
family
coming
in
to
join
so
they're,
absolutely
essential
to
our
service
and
yes,
the
frontline
is
still
there.
Hopefully
it's
not
too
top-heavy,
but
I
think
what
you
can
see
is:
we've
got
a
lot
of
service
development
initiatives
and
we're
gonna
have
a
plan
for
a
couple
of
years,
and
then
we
can
look
again
about
what
we've
done.
E
Is
we've
created
a
really
flexible
structure
so
as
we
pivoted
our
that
that
structure
came
about
before
the
pandemic,
but
it's
fitted
really
well
with
how
we've
slightly
pivoted
our
service
since
the
pandemic.
So
it's
really
flexible
and
it
gives
us
lots
of
opportunity
to
grow
and
develop
in
the
future.
But
absolutely
the
front
line
they've
got
a
new
name
now:
they're,
not
just
library
assistants.
They
are
library
and
digital
assistants.
So
we've
got
a
real
focus
on
that
digital
agenda.
C
E
That
the
old
fleet
of
mobile
libraries
has
been
completely
renewed.
I
think
we've
got
four
mobile
community
hubs
now
so
they're
mobile
community
hubs,
rather
than
just
mobile
libraries,
we've
got
two
story
buses,
one
of
which
is
outside.
I
don't
know
if
we've
got
sam
or
nelly
out
today.
I
can't
re.
Oh
it's
nelly,
so
we've
got
two
buses:
the
children
named
those
buses
across
the
city
and
we've
got
a
residential
homes.
Bus
as
well
so
yeah
they'll
be
traveling
across
the
city.
E
Yeah
I
mean
there
has
been,
I
don't
know
we
haven't
halfway,
though
no
no
okay.
D
Sorry
you'd
think
after
18
months,
we'd
learned
to
unmute,
wouldn't
you
have
it
not
a
chance?
I
think
it's
worth
mentioning.
The
senior
librarian
posts
are
are
in
the
services
in
the
frontline
services,
so
you'll
see
them
in
the
libraries
as
well.
It's
the
librarians
are
also
in
the
libraries
they'll
be
in
the
areas,
so
they'll
be
the
ones
building
the
relationships
with
the
community.
D
A
So
there's
a
few
practical
things
to
talk
about.
The
date
of
annex
meet
in
is
wednesday,
the
24th
of
november,
and
this
one
will
be
in
middleton
parkward.
So
it's
up
to
the
three
councils
there
to
decide
where
they
want
to
hold
it
and
also
I'd.
Like
sorry,.
D
Chair,
I
just
thought
I'd
raise
them.
At
the
start
time
we've
got
down
as
two
o'clock.
All
other
council
committees
start
at
1
30..
Would
that
be
appropriate
for
this
committee?
I
don't
know
what
other
members
think
it
just
relieves.
The
pressure
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
you
know
get
home
going
to
another
meeting.
A
We
did
the
times
we
we
discussed
the
times
of
the
venues
at
the
last
meeting,
and
I
think
that
was
your
opportunity,
because
now
they've
all
been
published
so
for
next
year,
we'll
try
and
remember,
okay,
so
back
on
some
of
the
practical
things
so
there's
a
copy
of
southlead's
life
at
the
bottom
of
the
table.
If
anybody
wants
to
take
a
coffee-
which
is
our
local
newspaper
that
covers
south
leeds
lynne,
isn't
here
today,
but
she
will
not
attend
another
community
committee.
A
She'll
leave
beside
the
november
meeting
comes
so
I
wanted
it
put
on
record
my
personal
thanks
for
all
the
help
and
support
and
I'm
sure
from
the
rest
of
the
committee,
and
we
just
need
to
record
that
and
then
I'm
sure
we'll
be
able
to
see
her
before
she
leaves
and
then
there's
photographs
with
the
big
check
here
for
the
two
community
organizations.
A
If
any
councils
once
have
the
picture
taken
and
the
buses
out
there
for
anybody
to
go
and
have
a
look
at,
I
thought
it
would
be
better
to
bring
it
here.
So
because
not
all
of
us
see
the
bus,
but
I
thought
it
would
be
an
ideal,
especially
for
like
youth
workers,
you
can
ask
the
bus
to
come
to
your
area,
you
know
so
it
makes
kids
get
used
to
going
on
the
sort
of
thing.
So
thank
you
all
for
coming
today.
I
hope
you
found
it
an
interesting
meeting.
I
have
to
say
I
did.
A
I
think
the
last
two
discussions
we
had
are
very
important
and
I
think
both
the
city
as
a
whole
and
the
libraries
are
one
of
the
most
community,
important
places
that
I
know
and
we're
really
pleased
to
have
a
hubbing
beast
in
it
last.
So,
thank
you
all
for
coming
safe
journey,
home
and
I'll
see.
