A

Thank

to
confirm
chair
there'd,
be
no
appeals
received.
C
C
Late
items,
yes,
chair
with
your
agreement,
a
report
entitled
update
on
the
coronavirus
pandemic
response
and
recovery
plan
has
been
circulated
to
board
members
and
published
for
consideration
as
agenda
item
seven.
Today.
A
And
item
four:
does
any
member
have
disclosable
pecuniary
interested
today.
D
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
item
five.
Can
we
agree
that
the
minute
so
the
previous
meeting,
or
an
accurate
record
of
that
meeting.
A
Okay,
take
silence
as
a
yes
and
just
before
we
start
the
meeting.
Could
I
offer
my
congratulations
to
leeds
united,
a
really
major
achievement
for
the
team
for
the
club,
but
also
for
the
city.
A
I
think
all
of
us
recognize
what
we've
been
missing
for
the
last
16
years
and
really
delighted
that,
through
the
the
different
matches
that
were
played
over
the
weekend,
that
not
only
have
we
gained
promotion
but
we're
also
champions
of
the
league,
which
is
a
great
testament
to
the
the
work
that
they've
done
over
the
the
past
year.
A
We
had
a
very
just
disappointing
end
of
season
last
last
year,
but
it
really
is
a
great
achievement
and
really
very
proud
of
the
players,
but
also
of
the
elsa,
the
manager
who
has
really
held
them
together
in
such
a
magnificent
way
this
season.
So
we
look
forward
to
to
watching
their
success
on
the
returns.
The
premiership.
A
With
that,
could
we
hand
over
to
councillor
cooper,
who
is
going
to
take
us
into
item
six
in
her
portfolio
and
will
be
welcoming
our
guests
to
the
meeting,
but
I'd
just
like
to
say
to
jason
and
paul
a
real
welcome
to
the
meeting
and
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you
have
been
doing
on
this
subject.
So,
if
I
could
hand
over
to
councillor
cooper,
please.
E
Yes,
thanks
leader,
and
could
I
welcome
professor
jason
roach
to
the
executive
board
meeting
this
afternoon,
who
is
the
professor
who's
conducted
the
independent
review
into
the
managed
approach?
E
E
But
I
just
wanted
to
say
really
that
we
committed
to
the
residents
and
the
community
of
holbeck
to
conduct
an
independent
review
now,
and
so
I'm
really
pleased
to
bring
the
outcome
of
that
independent
review
to
executive
board
for
its
consideration
this
afternoon
and
I'm
sure
I'll
answer
questions
once
professor
roach
and
paul
have
given
their
their
their
pieces
about
the
independent
review.
So
paul
can
I
hand
over
to
you
now
first
to
introduce
the
context
of
the
independent
review.
Please.
F
Yeah
thanks
very
much
councillor,
cooper
and
good
afternoon.
Everybody
so
before
I
hand
over
to
to
jason
I'll
just
provide
a
little
bit
of
context
as
a
reminder
of
where
we
currently
are
with
the
managed
approach.
F
Street
sex
work
has
been
taking
place,
as
many
of
you
know
in
the
whole
back
area
of
the
city
for
probably
the
last
20
years
or
so,
the
managed
approach
was
introduced
in
2014
and
it
is
in
essence,
I
suppose,
a
multi-urgency
partnership
that
features
resources
from
from
safer
leads
from
western
russia
police
from
the
wider
sort
of
council,
including
the
anti-social
behaviour
team,
our
cctv
capability
street
cleansing
housing,
colleagues,
health
colleagues
and
also
commissioned
services,
particularly
those
that
work
to
assist
sex
workers
with
their
range
of
complex
needs
and
supporters.
F
In
terms
of
doing
that,
the
resources
all
work
together
in
a
in
a
managed
way
via
governance
arrangements
at
the
different
levels
and
you'll
all
be
familiar
with
the
gold
silver
bronze
levels,
but
all
appropriately
resourced,
regularly
attending
and
supported
by
very
robust
weekly
tasking
arrangements
holding
holding
the
partnership
to
to
account
as
best
we
can.
F
The
issues
associated
with
street
sex
work
are
many,
many
unfair,
ed,
some
some
obvious,
particularly
obvious
to
local,
to
the
local
community
and
some
not
so
obvious
in
summer.
In
summary,
certainly
before
we
introduced
the
managed
approach,
we
were
experiencing
significant
problems
with
women
feeling
ostracized,
particularly
those
involved
in
street
sex
working
which
created
issues
for
us
in
terms
of
engaging
with
them
and
supporting
them
with
their.
F
What
are
very
often
very
complex
needs.
Other
issues
were
the
lack
of
confidence
of
the
street
sex
workers,
reporting
incidents
and
issues
to
the
police,
which
had
the
consequence
of
of
creating
some
additional
problems.
We
had
very
low
rates
of
women
reporting
being
victimized.
F
We
had
very
low
rates
of
intelligence,
meaning
that
as
a
city,
we
had
some
real
challenges,
even
understanding
and
assessing
the
extent
of
the
problem,
and
there
are
other
associated
associated
issues
that
we
know.
We
need
to
be
able
to
challenge
so,
for
instance,
the
issue
of
of
organized
crime
and
the
impact
that
can
have
on
the
issues.
F
So
the
managed
approach
has
evolved
over
over
a
period
of
years
and
in
essence,
the
the
review
that
I'll
introduce
jason
to
talk
about
in
a
second
we'll
talk
about
what
they
have
found
in
the
last
12
months
or
so
in
terms
of
the
procurement
exercise
and
the
task
of
procuring
professor
roche
and
his
team.
F
If
we
just
remind
those
on
the
call
on
the
14th
of
november,
2018
council
asked
for
a
review
of
the
managed
approach
to
be
conducted
and
the
tender
specification
was
developed
which
was
contributed
to
by
all
the
professionals
working
on
the
on
the
arrangements,
but
also
by
community
representation
and
also
representation
from
the
street.
Sex
working
cohort.
F
The
panel
assessed
the
the
two
organizations
and,
as
as
you
now
know,
huddersfield
university
emerged
as
the
unanimous
preferred
bidder
and
they
were
appointed
to
undertake
the
review
and
perhaps
at
that
point
I'll,
pause
and
and
offer
jason
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
the
review,
his
methodology
and
obviously,
some
of
the
key
findings
and
recommendations
that
have
come
from
it.
So
over
to
you,
jason.
C
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
paul
and
thank
you
councillor
cooper,
but
can
I
just
say
it
was
a
team
effort.
It
wasn't
all
me,
don't
get
me
wrong.
I
was
the
best
thing
in
it,
but
it
was
very
much
a
team
effort,
the
team
comprised
of
three
professors
and
three
senior
lecturers
in
criminology
and
policing,
which
is
quite
unheard
of
for
a
bid
of
less
than
about
for
a
job
of
less
than
about
a
million
pounds.
C
So
you
may
not
be
able
to
say
kind
of
the
very
often
that
you
got
a
good
deal,
but
you've
got
a
really
good
deal
out
of
this
one.
I
won't.
I
won't
keep
you
too
long,
because
I
know
you've
got
a
long
busy
meeting
so
I'll,
just
sort
of
very
quickly
go
through
some
of
the
main
points
and
some
of
the
main
findings.
C
It
was
easy
in
a
sense,
this
job
was
was
easier
than
others
in
that
we
were
given
quite
tight
objectives,
names
to
evaluate
to
look
at
to
review.
That
doesn't
happen
very
often
so
this
one
was,
you
know
it.
This
was
really
good,
so
we
knew
exactly
what
it
was
that
we
should
be
looking
at
and
they
hadn't
essentially
changed
from
what
we
could
see
from
the
beginning
of
the
managed
approach
in
2014.
C
So
we
were
asked
to
assess
the
progress
made
against
these
three
objectives,
which
was
one
to
reduce
the
prevalence
of
street-based
sex
working
in
leeds.
The
second
one
was
to
reduce
the
problems
caused
by
on-street
sex
working
to
residents
and
businesses,
which
currently
suffer
from
such
nuisance,
and
the
third
one
was
to
better
engage
with
street
sex
workers
to
improve
their
safety
and
health
with
a
view
to
enabling
them
to
exit
this
way
of
life.
C
We're
also
asked
to
look
at
to
seek
and
understand
the
views
will
ride
a
range
of
stakeholders,
including
residents,
businesses,
sex
workers
themselves
and
professionals
that
are
involved
in
supporting
the
managed
approach
and
the
police,
and,
unlike
some
government
sort
of
reviews,
we
were
asked
to
make
some
recommendations,
and
so
we
have
so
I'll
come
to
them
in
due
course
methodological
approach.
C
Well,
as
you
can
imagine
it,
you
can't
just
send
out
a
survey
or
stop
three
people
on
the
street
and
then
say
look
what
we
found
that
we'd
had
to
be
quite
extensive,
so
we
had
to
use
lots
of
different
types
of
research
methods
which
I
won't
bore
you
with
the
ins
and
outs
of
them.
Firstly,
we
used
focus
groups
and
we
did
five
focus
groups.
C
Three
of
them
were
resident
orientated
and
two
of
them
were
professionals
and
police
orientated
that
comprised
of
in
total,
approximately
30
people
in
those
across
those
residents
and
and
core
residents
and
professional
groups,
etc.
We
also
interviewed
we
conducted
30,
individual
interviews
with
professionals,
police
residents,
representatives,
etc
and
12
on
women
on
street
sex
workers
as
well,
which
we're
quite
proud
of
getting
their
trust
enough
for
them
to
take
part
in
this.
We
also
attended
well
list.
C
I
did
mostly
listening
world
sessions,
which
I'm
sure
you're
familiar
with,
so
won't
go
into
into
what
they
were
and
took
data
from
those
observations,
etcetera.
We
had
data
from
the
dedicated
line,
which
is
the
dedicated
police
line
involved
in
policing
the
managed
approach.
C
So
we
looked
at
what
complaints
had
come
in
and
what
people
had,
what
the
police
had
done,
etc,
etc,
and
then
other
data
that
was
given
to
us
of
varying
qualities
from
sort
of
safer
leads
police
data
down
to
voice
of
holbeck
data
to
save
our
eyes
day
to
day
survey
that
was
done
at
ingram
road
school
with
parents.
C
So
a
mixed
bag
is
what
I'm
trying
to
to
is
the
picture
I'm
trying
to
paint
about
lots
of
methods,
lots
of
data,
all
sort
of
you
know
going
into
the
mix
of
what
we
found
when
we
analyzed
it
and
and
forming
the
basis
of
of
what
we
think
you
know
what
the
represent,
what
the
recommendations
are
so.
C
If
I
was
to
summarize
the
key
findings,
which
I'm
I'm
doing
on
a
seems
to
be
a
regular
basis
and
they're
getting
smaller
and
smaller,
the
summer
is
now
so
I
must
be,
I
must
be
getting
better
at
it.
The
m8
is
when
it
was
brought
in,
was
quite
a
revolutionary
and
quite
a
radical
approach
to
the
policing
in
particular
of
on-street
sex
work
and
the
problems
associated
with
it
before
that,
and
this
goes
for
the
rest
of
the
country,
not
just
in
the
leeds
area.
It
was
very
much
about
enforcement.
C
There's
an
enforcement-led
approach.
It
was
about
arresting
people,
finding
people
which,
ironically
many
of
the
women
that
were
sex
workers
when
they
got
fined,
had
to
go
out
more
to
pay
the
fine,
the
costs
of
the
fine,
and
so
it
was
counter-productive
and
up
to
2014,
as
paul
said
reports
and
complaints
by
residents
and
by
local
business
people,
it
were
going
up.
So
something
had
to
be
done.
C
Hence
this
this
approach
of
looking
at
it
from
almost
an
adult
protection
type
of
perspective,
where
you
know
helping
supporting
the
women
involved
to
exit
or
to
be
able
to
leave
a
bit
of
position
to
stand
a
bit
a
chance
of
leaving
what
they
were
doing
in
terms
of
on
street
sex
working
and
minimising
the
effects
on
on
the
community.
C
Yes,
since
and
I'll
throw
this
in,
it
has,
since
we
said
in
the
report,
it
has
since
kind
of
been
adopted
not
as
the
model
for
the
for
the
other
43
forces
around
the
country,
but
it's
certainly
its
approach
in
the
sense
of
supporting
on
the
street
sex
workers
and
trying
to
help
them
exit.
It
certainly
has
kind
of
influenced
many
of
the
other
approaches.
Well,
many
of
the
other
attempts
by
police
to
minimize
the
problems,
so
it
kind
of
forged
the
wave.
C
If
you
like,
it's
also
there's
other
things.
I
mean
we
found
that
in
general,
the
problems
have
been
reduced.
The
complaints
by
residents
have
reduced,
particularly
in
the
last
18
months
to
two
years.
C
We
also
found
that
the
residents
and
safer
leads,
in
particular
the
police,
had
come
together
a
lot
more
about
this
much
more
of
a
community-based
problem,
and
now
you
know
the
solution
lies
with
the
community
as
well,
so
that
was
progressed
as
as
well,
maybe
still
a
little
bit
more
to
go,
but
the
you
know
it's
it's
light
years
away
from
where
it
was
pre-2014.
C
The
listening
world
sessions
have
kind
of
done
have
had
a
good
effect
on
bringing
you
know,
groups
of
people
together,
there's
no
two
sides
in
this.
We
learned
that
immediately
it's
about
58
different
sides.
It's
about
bringing
all
these
people
together,
on-street
sex
workers
that
we
spoke
to
spoke
very
highly,
of
the
managed
approach
to
the
some
of
them
that
we
quote
in
the
report
was
saying
it
basically
saved
their
lives.
C
Many
of
the
professionals,
in
fact,
all
the
professionals
and
police
that
we
talked
to
said
it
significantly
improved
their
jobs
and
their
support
and
that
they
knew
where
the
women
are
now,
but
they
know
where
they
are.
They
have
a
good
relationship
with
them
and
they
know
that
they
can
put
in
coordinated
and
joined
up
packages
in
which
to
support
them.
C
Resourcing
of
the
mma
has
improved
exponentially
since
its
introduction
in
2014,
particularly
since
2016
and
2018,
and
with
its
dedicated
policing
team
since
2016,
but
fully
kind
of
resourced
in
2018
at
the
back
end
of
2018
and
the
dedicated
line
for
reporting
on
street
sex
work.
There
is
nothing
no
other
area
in
leeds
that
has
a
direct
line
like
that
to
the
police
to
report
things.
C
Another
kind
of
positive
was
that
there's
been
we
identified,
and
this
came
from
the
women
themselves
and
from
born
out
in
in
the
police
data
as
well.
That
there's
been
a
steady
increase
in
the
reporting
of
crimes
by
on
the
street
sex
workers
that
are
committed
against
them
before
2014
there's
hardly
anything
mentioned,
and
we
know
that
it's
one
of
the
most
dangerous
things
you
could
possibly
think
about
doing
and
being
engaged
in
the
beginning
to
it.
C
You
know
the
recent
term
times
have
begun
to
you
know,
report
crimes,
that
of
which
they're
the
victims
of
as
well.
We
also
were
asked
to
look
at
well
what
else
is
going
on
in
the
country?
Is
there
anything
like
the
managed
approach?
Is
there
other
alternatives
that
are
happening?
We
also
looked
at
the
literature
research
literature
which
you
know
didn't
take
very
long,
because
there
isn't
much
on
this,
specifically
the
policing
of
on
street
sex
working
and
what
we
did
find
different
models.
C
If
you
like
you'll,
hear
models
like
the
nordic
model
mentioned,
etc
they
they
fit
within
a
different
legal
framework
and
a
different
policing
approach,
they're
totally
different
to
leeds
and
the
uk.
So
we
didn't
find
much
utility
from
them
to
be
quite
honest,
and
when
I
did
ask
the
mpcc
lead
the
chief
police
officer
who
has
in
his
portfolio
sex
working-
and
I
asked
him
to
send
an
email
around
for
me
to
the
43
forces
asking
what
was
going
on.
C
We
only
got
eight
replies
and
I
don't
think
that
for
one
minute
is
that
nobody's
doing
anything
in
the
other
forces.
It's
just.
We
only
got
eight
replies
and
what
was
coming
back
was
very
much
like
the
managed
approach.
However,
saying
that
I'll
say
that
now
one
of
the
things
we
did
find
is
that
whatever
approach
you
take
to
to
trying
to
reduce
the
problems
of
on-street
sex
working,
it
has
to
fit
within
the
context
of
the
area
of
the
place
of
the
history
that
you're
trying
to
reduce
those
problems.
C
In
and
I'll
give
you
an
example.
Liverpool
merseyside
and
hull
have
tried
a
similar
approach
and
they've
tried
to
create
a
managed
area,
some
still
referred
to
as
a
zone,
but
a
managed
area.
It
didn't
work
because
the
on
the
street
sex
trade
wouldn't
move
to
those
places
yeah.
I
think
that,
what's
you
know,
helped
most
in
the
managed
approach
in
in
holbeck
and
leeds
was
that
it
was
there
geographically
beforehand
yeah
there
was
no
moving
involved.
C
Okay,
so
I
will
very
quickly
I've
already
talked
longer
than
I
had
planned
to
the
mma.
Our
review
actually
raised
various
questions
so
I'll
go
through
the
questions
that
it
raised,
offer
some
kind
of
answers
to
it
and
then
very
quickly,
I'll
talk
about
the
recommendations
that
relate
to
it,
but
you
all
have
the
report,
so
I
I
won't
teach
anyone
to
suck
eggs
should
the
ma
continue
is
a
big
question.
C
Well,
overwhelmingly:
we've
found
yes
and
the
people
we
spoke
to
and
we
spoke
to
all
sorts
of
people,
residents,
group
leaders
etc.
Overwhelmingly.
The
answer
was
yes,
it
needs
to
change
in
some
ways,
and
you
know
agreement
on
changes
wasn't
the
same.
It
wasn't
as
unequivocal
as
yes,
it
should
stay
by
any
means,
but
generally
people
could
see
no
other
alternative.
C
That
would
that
promise
to
be
more
effective
than
the
managed
approach
yeah
in
in
holbeck
and
leeds,
but
it
was
going
back
to
what
paul
said
before
the
ma
needs
to
continue
to
be
fluid
enough
to
be
able
to
adapt
to
whatever
comes
it's
its
way.
We
finished
data
collection
one
week
before
covid
19
lockdowns,
basically,
which
could
completely
change
the
game,
at
least
temporarily,
maybe
slightly
forever.
C
So
I'm
talking
about
you
know
what
I'm
talking
about
funnies
before
that,
but
things
like
that
do
come
along
and
development
of
the
south
bank
is
happening.
How
is
that
going
to
affect
the
managed
approach,
etc?
These
things
need
to
be
thought
out,
hopefully
in
advance
less
reaction
and
more
sort
of
proactive.
C
The
second
one
was:
does
the
ma
succeed
enough
for
the
aim
of
better
engaging
with
street
on
street
sex
workers
to
improve
their
safety
and
health
with
a
view
to
enabling
them
to
exit
that
way
of
life
and
to
justify
current
funding
levels
was
a
big
question.
We
were
you
know
that
was
asked
unequivocally.
C
Professionals,
police
and
many
of
the
residents
in
fact
said.
Well,
yes,
the
sex
workers
themselves,
of
course
yeah
it
does,
and
that
was
unequivocal.
What
does
the
ma
strategic
aim
of
reducing
the
prevalence
of
street-based
sex
working
actually
refer
to?
We
got
confused
about
that,
and
so
does
everybody
else?
What
do
we
mean
by
prevalence?
Do
we
just
need
about
the
numbers
of
women
that
are
working?
Do
we
mean
the
number
of
hours
that
the
women
are
working?
C
C
We
also
asked
the
question:
was
it
time
for
holbeck
the
community,
not
necessarily
the
community
representatives
that
we
spoke
to,
but
the
community
itself
to
share
some
sort
of
responsibility
for
the
mma,
so
they've
come
a
long
way.
Yeah
and
they've
moved
a
long
way
and
say
for
these
in
the
camps,
when
the
police
have
moved
a
long
way
come
together,
should
they
actually
have
more
responsibility
for
that,
for
example,
in
what
it
might
metaphors
what
we
might
change
to
or
react
to
to
be
in
in
the
future?
C
So
having
a
say
about
kind
of
where
the
man-made
may
go?
Having
said
that,
it's
fluid,
and
it's
you
know
it.
It
will
change
that
led
to
the
recommendation.
That
should
perhaps
be
a
fully
representative
again,
I
know
that's
an
ambiguous
term
I'll
leave
that
for
you
who
to
grapple
with
a
future
planning
group,
so
it
wasn't
just
reacting
to
things
but
actually
seeing
what
was
on
the
horizon.
Then
this
group
would
then
make
scenario
planning
about
what
may
or
may
not
be
the
most
feasible
cause
of
action.
C
Should
things
change
and
they
will
change,
particularly
the
area.
May
change.
For
example,
as
I
said
before,
that's
gonna
have
an
effect,
maybe
squeezing
effect
on
on
the
what
is
currently
the
managed
approach
area,
maybe
in
an
independent
chair.
C
I'm
not
sure
if
you
find
an
independent
chair
on
this
on
this
issue,
and
I
think
there
is
anyone,
but
if
you
could,
then
that
might
help
to
again
bring
the
groups
together,
particularly
in
this
future
group,
so
that
you
know
everybody
feels
that
they
kind
of
got
the
same
input
and
having
an
annual
performance
review,
not
to
the
degree
that
we've
reviewed
it,
but
having
something
each
year
to
monitor
the
performance
of
the
managed
approach
that
isn't
just
based
on
police
calls
for
data,
but
also
on
people's
experiences
of
it.
C
One
thing
we
did
pick
up,
and
this
is
a
wider
issue-
it
isn't
just
about
the
managed
approach,
although
it's
you
know
it's
part
of
this,
is
is
about
women
in
general
that
we
spoke
to
women
residents
that
were
were
felt,
didn't,
feel
very
safe
and
particularly
those
were
children
felt
intimidated,
particularly
by
men,
usually
who
thought
it
quite
funny
that
they're
in
holbeck
to
actually
you
know
proposition
anybody
any
woman
that
they
see
out
of
the
car
window.
C
For
example,
we
picked
that
up
time
and
time
again
a
need,
perhaps
for
something
about
respecting
holbeck
and
respecting
all
women
in
holbeck.
C
Not,
you
know
not
just
relating
to
the
managed
approach,
and
we
also
suggested
that
I'm
not
sure
if
this
is
going
to
work
having
last
weekend
of
the
weekend
before,
but
a
more
coordinated
and
and
partnership
approach
to
the
media
around
and
the
media
stories
around
the
managed
approach
around
holbeck,
in
particular
some
of
the
kids
that
we
spoke
to
at
one
of
the
listening
well
meetings,
we're
very
sympathetic
and
empathetic
to
the
to
the
on-street
world
because,
as
are
the
wonderful
people
of
hobbit,
many
have
nobody
said
that
anything.
C
You
know
any
support
should
be
pulled
and
taken
away
from
from
the
from
the
women,
but
the
the
young
children
said
that
they
thought
it
was
quite
embarrassing.
Each
time
if
somebody
googled
holbeck,
the
first
10
hits
that
come
up
relate
to
the
managed
approach
in
their
elector
on
street
sex
work
and
they
would
really
like,
if
holbeck
the
good
things
of
holbeck
would
dilute
this
kind
of
this
kind
of
image.
C
If
you
like,
I
mean-
and
that's
quite
naive
that
you
you
know-
I
don't
know-
we'd
have
to
do
to
knock
them
out
the
top
ten
and
put
what
you
want
on
the
top
ten.
It
would
take
a
lot
of
time
and
a
lot
of
downloaded.
I
would
imagine,
but
you
know
this
needs
to
for
a
positive
side
of
of
holbeck
and
the
holbeck
community.
You
know
you
know
to
kind
of
to
dilute
the
the
kind
of
the
salacious
kind
of
misreporting
of
a
red
light
zone.
C
That
is
happening
as
we
speak
now
in
the
press,
and
it's
clearly
kind
of
you
know
not
true
on
many
levels.
Okay
right
is
that
okay.
E
Yeah
thanks
thanks
for
that
jason
and,
of
course,
please
pass
on
our
thanks
to
the
rest
of
your
team
for
conducting
the
review
as
well.
So
as
jason's
outlined
the
outcome
of
main
outcomes,
I
know
I
didn't
have
time
to
go
into
much
detail,
but
we're
happy
to
do
that
with
any
member
of
executive
board.
E
That
would
want
to
do
so,
but
yeah
just
to
say
that
we
will
be
going
through
each
of
jason's
and
his
team's
recommendations
line
by
line
to
assess
what
what
needs
to
be
done
on
each
of
those
recommendations
and
reporting
that
back
through
safer,
leads
and,
of
course,
to
executive
board
as
well.
So
I'll
leave
it
there
for
now
chair
until
we
go
to
questions.
A
Okay,
thank
you
councillor
cooper.
Can
I
open
it
up
for
questions
please,
sir
zakata
first,
have
you
got
anything
you'd
like
to
say
or
to
ask.
G
Yes,
as
you
would
expect
chair
I'll
start
by
echoing
your
congratulations
to
leeds
united
one
of
those
football
fans
who
wants
to
see
as
many
west
yorkshire
teams
in
the
premier
league
as
possible,
and
it's
somewhat
ironic
that
it
was
huddersfield
town
meeting
west
bromwich
albion,
that
insured
leads
would
indeed
be
promoted
and
and
you're
right.
G
G
G
So
it's
interesting,
isn't
it
that
it's
huddersfield
university
that
you
have
sought
to
try
and
bail
you
out
of
this
particular
spot
that
you're
in
and
jason
said
that
financially
we
got
a
good
deal
and
I'm
not
going
to
question
that
for
a
minute.
However,
what
I
would
say
is
the
overriding
question.
To
my
mind
is
how
the
residents
of
holbeck
got
a
good
deal.
G
I
shall
not
be
voting
I'll.
Ask
a
number
of
questions
as
I
go
along,
but
I
won't
be
voting
in
favor
of
this,
because
we
are
still
awaiting
the
community
response
exercise
carried
out
by
listening
well
part
of
the
voice
for
holbeck,
which
apparently
have
engaged
with
500
plus
residents,
not
30
and
also
with
local
businesses,
and
one
thing
that
has
astonished
me
about
this
report
is
the
very
small
number
of
people
who've
participated
now,
don't
doubt
for
one
minute
the
hard
work
that's
been
done.
G
Neither
do
I
doubt
that
it's
a
very
complicated
and
difficult
series
of
issues
that
need
to
be
addressed,
but
it
does
surprise
me-
and
I
would
like
to
see
exactly
what
the
listening
well
report
will
bring
forward,
and
one
point
to
quite
the
first
question
I
want
to
ask
is:
is
it
correct
that,
when
this
exercise
is
being
undertaken
by
the
council,
residents
were
told
that
if
the
managed
area
was
to
end
extra
policing
and
litter
patrols
would
end
as
well,
and
I
would
like
a
direct
answer
to
that-
please,
because,
obviously,
and
quite
clearly,
if
that
was
the
case,
then
it
may
well
have
an
undue
influence
on
the
way
people
respond.
G
Secondly,
there
is
a
successful
model,
I
believe
in
ipswich,
and
yet,
despite
the
various
engagements
have
been
with
all
sorts
of
organizations
outside
of
the
city
of
leeds,
we
appear
not
to
have
had
any
discussion
with
the
people
responsible
for
the
ipswich
scheme,
and
that
seems
to
be
well.
Maybe
they
refused.
I
don't
know,
jason
or
paul
will
surely
be
be
able
to
answer
that,
but
it
seems
to
me
to
be
something.
That's
that
that's
missing.
G
What
I
can
also
only
refer
to
as
a
spin,
I
don't
think
that
the
residents
of
holbeck
will
thank
us
for.
G
A
spin
exercise
about
holbeck
now
holbeck,
in
my
view,
is
an
area
that
is
improving
in
many
areas
no
end,
and
we
want
to
see
it
do
so,
and
counselor
compiler.
You
will
recall
that
when
we
discussed
the
some
of
the
much
improved
housing
stock
in
the
area,
I
I
made
it
very
clear
that
I
was
supportive
of
much
further
in
financial
investment
there
to
complete
the
job
and
hopefully,
as
we
receive
we're
going
to
be
recipients.
I
think
of
more
government
assistance
in
housing
regeneration
that
job
will
be
undertaken.
G
But
I
really-
and
I
understand
why
we
want
to
be
promoting
the
positive
aspects
of
holbeck.
But
if
it's
done
as
a
spin
exercise
to
try
and
paper
over
the
massive
differences
of
opinion,
then
I
think
we're
we're.
The
people
of
holbeck
would
have
a
right
to
think
we
were
taking
them
for
fools
and
they
are
far
from
being
fools.
G
They
know
precisely
what's
going
on
in
their
own
area,
and
I
think
they
have
a
right
to
something
better
than
that
sort
of
pr
and
media
strategy,
and
that's
precisely
what
it's
referred
to
as
and
actually
it's
not
particularly
typical
of
what
you
would
normally
say,
and
I
think
it's
a
a
mistake
that
it's
it's
gone
in
in
fairness
to
jason.
G
He
seemed
to
accept
that
that
that
was
a
very
a
very
provocative
message
for
people
who
are
feeling
intimidated
like
the
young
women
with
children
who
he
correctly
identified
as
being
concerned.
G
I
remain,
I
have
to
say,
extremely
disquieted
by
the
work
so
far.
I
don't
think
it
is
complete
until
we
hear
from
a
much
larger
section
of
the
holbeck
residents
and,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
their
voices
that
we
need
to
be
listening
to
as
well
as,
of
course,
putting
everything
in
place
that
we
can
to
support
and
help
the
women
concerned
and
and
they're
clearly
obvious
different
faceted
problems.
G
E
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that
julie.
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
give
you
a
direct
answer
to
the
direct
question
that
you
asked
councillor
and
the
residents
of
holbeck
have
not
been
told,
not
in
my
presence
or
to
my
knowledge
that
that
resource
wouldn't
be
there.
If
there
wasn't
a
managed
approach,
I've
got
to
say
that
the
area
wouldn't
be
cleaned
and
wouldn't
be
policed.
That
has
not
been
told
to
the
residents.
E
Well,
events
and
I've
attended
a
lot
of
meetings
prior
to
covert,
of
course,
with
local
residents
in
holbeck
about
this
issue,
as
well
as
many
other
issues
that
people
in
holbeck
are
dealing
with
well
and,
and
they
show
great
community
spirit,
I've
got
to
say
wonderful
coming
together,
even
though
they
have
differences
of
opinion
sometimes,
and
they
do
have
differences
opinion,
and
we
have
to
recognize
that
and
acknowledge
that,
and
I
think
that
the
part
of
the
report
that
jason
talks
about
a
communications
strategy
is
to
recognize
all
of
that
depth
community
and
their
opinions
and
their
feelings
about
how
they
feel
about
their
local
area
and
not
just
about
the
managed
approach
actually
to
look
at
a
bit
wider
than
that.
E
I
too,
I'm
also
looking
forward
to
the
results
from
the
listening
well
events
because,
as
I've
said,
I've
attended
a
lot
of
them.
So
I'd
like
to
see
you
know
what
the
what's
the
outcome
of
the
analysis
of
those
events
that
I've
attended-
and
I
know
james
rogers-
has
attended
and
paul
money's
offended.
E
Also,
as
professor
roach
said,
he
and
his
team
attended
a
number
of
those
as
part
of
the
research
that
they've
undertaken
as
well.
I
have
actually
met
people
from
ipswich
about
the
the
the
project
that
you
talked
about
happened
in
ipswich,
but
I'll
leave
jason
to
answer
that
one,
because
he
did
a
lot
more
research
into
that.
So
I'm
sure
he
can
respond
to
that
and
paul
as
well.
I
think
I've
covered
all
the
points
that
I
wanted
to
cover
encounter
councillor
carter.
E
If
I
can
pass
over
to
paul
and
jason,
please.
F
That's
councillor
cooper,
obviously
from
my
policing
experience,
I'm
very
familiar
with
the
approaches
to
this
this
issue
nationally
and
and
was
familiar
with
the
issues
that
took
place
down
in
ipswich
some
years
ago.
Perhaps
I
do
know
that
jason
and
his
researchers
looked
at
this
in
some
detail
and
bearing
in
mind
their
independence.
F
Perhaps
if
I
offered
jason
an
opportunity
just
to
comment
on
the
ipswich
model,
if,
indeed
such
a
thing
exists,
and
then
any
questions
that
issue
from
that
we
could
we
could
come
back.
So
if
that's
okay
to
you,
jason.
C
Okay,
thanks
paul
yeah,
the
ipswich
model
is
a
bit
of
a
myth.
Really
that's
what
we
found
even
talking
to
cops
at
ipswich.
You
know
last
year,
the
if
you
read
the
review
of
the
evaluation
of
the
ipswich
approach,
which
was
published
several
years
ago.
You'll
see
that
it's
you
know
it's
not
all
about.
It,
wasn't
all
about
arresting
curb
crawlers.
There
are
also
support
packages
going
in
there
to
support
the
women
there
was
various
plus
it
was
on.
C
The
back
of
a
serial
murderer
had
been
terrorizing
the
place
in
ipswich.
There
were
lots
of
different
things
coming
together,
and
yet
I
constantly
hear
of
one
ex-cop
in
particular,
who
goes
on.
It
was
just
about
arresting
people.
If
you
look
at
it,
it
wasn't
at
all
yeah.
It
is,
and
I
spoke
to
suffolk
police
who
said
that
it's
still
there
there
is
still
on
street
sex
working,
it
hasn't
gone
yeah.
It
might
have
gone
away
for
a
little
while
been
displaced,
but
it's
gone
back
again,
so
you
know
it's.
C
You
know
I've
spoken
to
this
about
this
with
loads,
but
there
is
no
evidence,
okay,
that
that
actually
works
over.
Here
and
in
fact
it
was
the
model
that
was
that
was
used
prior
to
2014,
arresting
everybody,
you
know
and
and
all
people
will
get
now
for
soliciting
is
a
fine.
You
know
in
in
in
sort
of
nordic
countries,
particularly
in
sweden
and
norway
selling
sexes
against
the
law.
So
you
will
go
to
you
know
you
will
get
a
sentence.
C
You
will
get
a
much
stiffer
punishment,
it's
a
totally
different
operation,
totally
different
legal
system,
and
I
and
I
urge
people-
and
I
mean,
if
you
want
me
to-
I-
could
send
you
a
link
to
the
review
of
the
ipswich
model.
If
you
like,
and
you
will,
you
will
see
that
it
isn't,
you
know
the
myth
around
it,
it
just
doesn't
it
doesn't
measure
up
and
if
I
can
come
back
at
you,
I
quite
like
I'm,
not
a
politician,
so
I'm
taking
my
little,
you
know
my
little
chance
here.
C
We
sent
out
1950
links
to
our
survey.
Okay,
our
online
survey
1950
households
in
holbeck,
okay,
in
the
two
major
at
just
before
christmas.
C
C
We
also
had
a
drop
in
night
at
the
holbeck
on
the
6th
of
january,
where
we
had
hard
copies
of
the
survey
for
people
that
weren't
online
or
didn't
want
to
go
in
online,
and
we
also
had
laptops
and
tablets
that
they
could
fill
one
in
if
they
didn't
have
the
means
to
do
so.
Yeah.
That
was
fine.
C
I
roped
in
my
own
son
to
help
because
I
thought
we
were
going
to
get
inundated
with
people.
We
got.
Eight
people
turn
up.
Okay.
We
then-
and
this
is
what
the
point
I'm
making.
We
then
asked
for
the
help
of
various
groups
in
holbeck
voice
of
holbeck
save
our
eyes.
C
If
we
could
put
some
details
about
the
survey
and
an
email
address
for
people,
their
500
members,
whatever
their
600
members
to
contact
us
so
that
we
could
then
give
them
a
code
in
which
to
complete
the
survey
yeah
and
the
danger
was
then
that
we
got
overrun,
we
could
have
thousands
of
people
yeah,
but
we
didn't.
We
only
got
another
30
odd.
C
So
these
great
big
bases
of
you
know
that
of
of
residents
out
there
that
you
know
that
that
are
purported
to
to
be
support
or
not
non-supported
ema
or
don't
like
any
of
it.
We
tried
our
damnedest
to
try
and
tap
into
these
people
and
they
and
we
just
didn't
get
any
any.
You
know
the
response
was
poor
and-
and
you
know
so,
I
I
was
actually
wishing
with
the
listening.
Well
meetings,
many
of
them.
So
I
I
too
welcome
what
they've
found,
because
the
data
that
I
collected
is
already
fed
into
the
report.
A
Okay,
andrew,
do
you.
G
Jason,
I
I
was
not
suggesting
that
any
one
part
of
the
ipswich
plan
was
better
than
the
others,
and
you
yourself
admitted
that
prosecuting
offending
men
was
only
part
of
it
and
it
went
along
with
a
whole
series
of
support
packages
for
the
women
involved
and
indeed
for
local
residents.
So
crystal
clear
nobody,
nobody
has
answered
yet
why
we
had
such
a
poor
response
from
local
businesses,
and
I
would
like
that
answering
please.
G
C
Well,
if
you
read,
if
you
read
the
bit
about
businesses,
you
will
see
again
we
we
tried
to
move
heaven
and
earth
in
order
to
get
businesses
involved.
Yeah
and
you
will
see
well.
Actually
I
have
to
take
it
out
to
redact
it,
but
you
will
see
that
there
is
in
there.
There
is
a
chart
that
the
reasons
given
for
why
businesses
yeah
didn't
want
to
get
involved.
Many
of
them.
C
I
had
two
phd
students
ringing
up
72
bit
local
businesses
in
holbeck
to
ask
them
about
the
managed
approach
to
take
part
in
a
survey
or,
if
they'd,
rather
to
take
part
in
a
small
focus
group.
You
will
see
that
the
vast
majority
of
them
that
answered
either
said
well,
it's
not
for
me
to
answer
police
phone
back
next
week
when
the
boss
is
here
which
we
did
and
there
was
no,
they
didn't
want
to
take
part
or,
may
you
know
a
fair
percentage,
weren't
interested
and
said
it
wasn't
a
problem.
C
So
why
would
they
want
to
take
part?
There's
also
a
lot
of
survey
fatigue
in
in
in
holbeck
because
they
keep
getting
asked.
You
know
to
complete
surveys,
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
so
that
that
brought
that
born
in
as
well
yeah.
We
couldn't
even
get
a
focus
group
of
businesses
together
and
again
we
opened
ourselves
up.
We
could
have
been
inundated
with
people
that
wanted
to
talk
to
us.
I
mean
we
were
giving
them
the
chance,
but
they
didn't
come
forward.
So
you
know
again
in
answer
to
your
question.
C
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
thank
you
very
much
for
those
very
full
responses.
I'm
conscious
of
to
have
to
ask
councillor
goldson
if
you
would
like
to
come
in.
H
Thanks
chair
well,
one
of
the
interesting
parts
of
this
paper
law
leader,
is
that
counselor
carter
talks
about
how
he's
not
going
to
support
the
paper,
but
actually
we're
not
asked
as
members
of
the
executive
board
to
actually
make
a
decision,
and
it
seems
like
the
majority
of
decisions
which
are
happening
around
this
managed
zone
are
not
something
which
is
subject
to
the
accountability
of
elected
members
on
the
council.
H
It's
more
about
professionals
who
are
working
within
the
services
that
are
responding
to
the
problem
within
the
safer
leads
executive
partnership,
and
I
do
think
there
is
a
problem
there
in
terms
of
that
political
accountability,
because,
as
I
said
here,
we're
only
able
to
note
the
report
not
to
actually
act
on
any
recommendations.
Ourselves
saying
that
it's
a
very
thoughtful
piece
of
work.
H
H
Is
you
don't
want
it
to
be
something
which
is
in
place
forever,
because,
hopefully
one
of
the
measures
of
success
is
the
reducing
number
of
women
that
rely
on
this
as
an
income
to
support
their
families
and
the
reducing
number
of
women
that
are
subject
to
addiction
and
the
manipulation
of
organized
crime.
That
was
mentioned
earlier
to
force
them
into
putting
themselves
in
danger.
H
Ever
all
that
we
can
do
is,
as
is
pointed
out
in
the
report,
be
honest,
recognize
where
the
problem
is
taking
place,
don't
try
and
displace
it,
but
actually
properly
manage
it
to
ensure
that
those
are
subject
to
the
problems,
including
those
that
live
in
the
area,
as
well
as
those
people
that
are
practicing
in
the
area
actually
have
access
to
solutions
and
the
more
discussion
that
there
is
with
the
local
community
the
better-
and,
I
think,
maybe
the
low
correspondence.
That's
happened
in
this
study
if
we're
optimistic.
H
Hopefully
it's
because
most
of
those
people
that
were
asked
to
fill
in
yet
another
survey
actually
thought
well.
I've
got
a
direct
line
into
changing
things
day
by
day
anyway,
with
this
new
dedicated
police
team,
with
the
direct
line
to
officers
with
the
rapid
response
that
we
get
from
the
public
services
to
clearing
up,
and
maybe
that
investment
has
actually
paid
off
in
terms
of
almost
creating
a
normality
for
this,
that
money
zone
to
take
off.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
I
don't
think
you
were
actually
particularly
asking
any
questions,
but
I
think
james
rogers
would
like
to
just
come
in.
B
Yeah,
thank
you,
council
blick.
I
think
there
was
a.
There
was
a
question
there
at
the
beginning
from
council
colton
around
the
recommendations.
It
was
just
to
be
clear
to
members
that,
yes,
at
this
point
in
time,
we
are
just
reported
to
executive
board
the
outcome
of
the
independent
review
that's
been
undertaken.
B
We
will
now
do
further
work,
looking
at
those
recommendations
and
we'll
do
it
through
the
safer
leads
executive
partnership,
because
the
recommendations
will
cover
a
number
of
different
bodies
and
organizations
in
the
city
that
would
need
to
contribute
to
respond
to
those.
But,
as
recommendation
c
says,
within
the
report,
we
will
make
sure
that
executive
board
are
kept
informed
and
updated
on
any
key
decisions
that
are
proposed
so
that
members
can
actually
take
that
democratic
accountability
for
any
changes
that
are
ultimately
implemented,
and
we
will
report
back
in
due
course.
A
Thank
you
councillor
cooper.
Do
you
want
to
bring
the
report
to
the
conclusion.
E
Yes,
can
I
thank
everybody
for
their
comments
on
this,
and
I
think
this
report
actually
coming
to
executive
board
so
soon
after
the
findings
of
the
report,
just
shows
how
open
and
transparent
we
are
being
actually
so
that
people
can
see
what
we're
doing
as
a
council
in
regards
to
the
managed
approach.
E
So
the
community
are
fully
aware
of
what
we're
doing
as
a
as
a
council
and
as
a
safer
leads
partnership
together
in
this
we
well,
we
look
forward
to
the
listening
well
coming
back
and
and
feeding
into
what
they've
found
out
and,
along
with
all
the
other
evidence
that
we
have
gained
from
the
local
community
in
various
ways,
we'll
work
together
on
those
recommendations
and
bring
it
back
to
executive
board
for
your
information
and,
of
course,
your
influence.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Can
I
before
we
just
finally
finish
the
report
just
say
an
enormous
thank
you
to
to
jason
phil,
not
only
for
the
the
work
they've
done,
but
for
coming
on
the
call
today
and
for
giving
us
such
a
full,
a
full
update
on
on
an
incredibly
complex
area.
A
I
I'm
just
very
struck
from
having
talked
to
many
people
in
the
ipswich
area,
for
example
around
the
the
risk
of
measures
that
actually
superficially
can
look
as
though
they're
addressing
particular
problems,
but
actually
from
the
point
of
view
of
the
women,
are
actually
making
them
more
vulnerable
by
displacement,
and
I
think
that's
something
that
all
of
us
are
very
mindful
of
in
this
in
this
very
complex
area
of
work.
A
So
we've
been
asked
to
note
the
comments
of
the
report
and,
as
council
says,
we
recognize
that
this
will
be
coming
back
to
us.
Should
any
changes
in
the
work
we're
doing
be
be
put
forward.
So
with
that,
with
the
exception
of
councillor
carter,
I
I'm
assuming,
can
we
agree
the
recommendations
of
the
report.
G
Chair,
I'm
reserving
my
position
until
the
residence
report
comes
in
and
I'm
waiting
to
see
what
the
residents
say
to
the
answer
I
had
from
councillor
cooper
about
what's
been
said
to
residents
and
what
hasn't.
A
Yes,
okay,
thank
you.
So
moving
on
on
the
agenda,
could
we
move
on
to
item
seven,
which
is
the
update
report
on
the
covert
19
pandemic?
I
just
want
to
say
you
know.
We
deliberately
chose
to
bring
a
separate
report
to
full
council
last
week
to
give,
as
many
members
within
the
time
constraints,
an
opportunity
to
actually
comment
on
the
on
the
work.
A
That's
been
happening
across
the
city
in
the
last
three
to
four
months,
absolutely
extraordinary
response
from
so
many
people
and
through
the
recommendations
of
the
report
we
all
we
agreed
that
we
would
write
as
a
council
to
all
of
our
different
partners
to
express
again
our
gratitude
and
our
appreciation
of
the
the
work
that
has
collectively
taken
part
as
as
our
response
now.
A
Obviously
we
know
that
we
are
still
very
much
in
the
midst
of
the
pandemic
and
whilst
we
we
have
much
more
information
about
where
the
infection
actually
is.
There
remain
concerns
that
we
are
learning
to
live
with
the
virus,
but
until
we
move
forward
to
a
position
where
we
have
a
vaccination.
A
We
you
know
we,
we
will
have
to
still
be
extremely
vigilant
and
make
sure
that
in
all
we
do
we
get
across
and
keep
communicating
the
need
for
people
to
recognize.
They
need
to
keep
safe
and
to
adhere
and
abide
by
the
measures
that
are
put
in
place
in
whichever
circumstances
they
they
find
themselves.
A
A
A
I
think
the
significant
update
for
executive
board
today
is
around
the
the
fact
that
we,
through
our
leads
outbreak
control
board,
which
has
met
twice
now,
and
we
have
produced
our
outbreak
control
plan
and
have
we've
had
a
really
positive
response
across
a
range
of
different
sectors
coming
together
and
really
informing
the
whole
city
of
the
different
circumstances
that
they
found
and
the
opportunity
to
share
best
practice
and
help
us
to
get
on
the
the
front
foot
in
terms
of
preparation
for
the
further
unlocking
of
the
restrictions
as
we
go
through
the
summer
and
into
into
the
the
autumn.
A
So
just
focusing
through
the
work,
obviously
looking
at
the
next
stages
of
recovery
and
obviously
a
real,
concerted
effort
at
city
level,
but
also
at
west
yorkshire
and
feeding
into
the
national
picture.
The
whole
area
around
recovery,
and
that
covers
a
range
of
different
areas.
So
obviously
there's
a
lot
of
focus
on
business
and
the
economy.
A
There
is
and
remains,
concern
that
there
has
been
a
fall
off
of
the
public
press
presenting
to
the
health
service
and
the
knock-on
consequences
that
that's
going
to
have
in
terms
of
their
own
individual
health,
but
also
of
the
ability
of
the
health
service
to
catch
up
with
the
backlog
that
has
been
generated
and
there's
been
a
real
focus,
obviously
across
communities,
but
with
particular
reference
to
education
in
all
settings,
not
just
schools
which
seems
to
get
the
the
vast
majority
of
the
limelight.
A
But
all
education
settings
are
obviously
absolutely
critical
in
terms
of
the
well-being
of
children
and
young
people,
but
also
in
terms
of
how
parents
can
fully
respond
to
the
conditions
of
changes
in
the
in
the
workplace
and
running
through
all
of
this.
A
real
concerted
effort
recognizing
that
communication
is
absolutely
vital,
and
I
think
you
know
we've
seen
on
public
transport,
that
talking
to
transport
operators
there's
still
a.
A
There
is
a
real
reluctance
still
from
the
traveling
public
to
actually
start
to
use
public
transport
again,
even
within
the
safety
measures
that
have
been
brought
in
by
operators,
both
across
rail
and
and
and
bus
operators,
which
is
obviously
going
to
present
enormous
difficulties
for
for
continuing
the
services.
So
some
very
real
and
live
issues
that
we
all
have
to
come
together
and
continue
to
work
on
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
up
the.
A
I
think
the
the
really
excellent
response
that
we've
had
from
council
officers,
but
reaching
out
right
across
all
of
our
partners
across
the
city,
we're
going
to
have
to
keep
this
level
and
pace
of
work.
Continuing
as
we
move
forward.
I
I
would
quite
like
to
hand
over
to
tom.
Obviously
tom
has
been
really
in
the
thick
of
it
down
at
working
in
whites
for
over
the
last.
Is
it
probably
two
months
almost
he's?
A
I
know
he's
coming
to
the
end
of
his
stint
with
whitehall
and
coming
back
to
us
full
time
at
the
end
of
this
week,
which
we
obviously
welcome
very
much
in
leeds.
But
I
do
want
to
pay
tribute
to
tom
on
all
of
our
behalf,
because
I
think
he's
done
an
extraordinary
job
in
actually
explaining
and
supporting
the
work
that
is
done
at
a
local
level,
which
I
have
to
be
honest,
is
not
always
recognized
at
a
national
level
and
not
an
easy
place
to
be.
A
But
I
think,
we've
across
the
family
of
local
government
we've
had
a
really
strong
voice
at
the
center
of
the
discussions
and
we're
very
grateful
for
tom
being
in
a
position
to
be
able
to
do
that,
which
is
reflected.
A
Obviously
on
that
the
whole
of
the
executive
team
who
have
stepped
up
to
make
sure
that
all
of
his
work
in
liters
continued
seamlessly.
So
with
that,
could
I
hand
over
to
tom,
and
just
perhaps
you
could
give
us
a
bit
of
an
update
on
where
we
are,
with
all
of
the
vexed
issues,
around
information,
sharing
data,
etc,
etc.
I
Thanks
thanks
leader
yeah,
and
thank
you
to
everybody
for
the
support
that
I've
had
in
doing
the
the
job
which
is
in
its
final
and
eleventh
week.
So
when
I'm
nearly
nearly
there
and
just
for
for
people
who
may
not
know
as
well.
The
government
have
funded
my
my
work
on
this.
It
hasn't
been
council
tax
payers
paying
for
it
in
in
leeds
which
has
been,
which
has
been
good
as
well.
I
The
the
I
I
was
just
going
to
add
three
points
to
what
council
blake
had
said.
First
of
all,
the
the
the
new
plans
are
really
important
in
putting
in
preventative
work
and
making
sure
that
victoria
and
her
colleagues
in
dph
rolls
throughout
the
region
and
nationally
are
integrating
all
that
work
around
high
risk
settings.
I
The
the
the
work
that's
needed
to
deploy,
testing
and
tracing
capability
and
and
bringing
through
the
data
to
make
sure
that
we
know
what's
happening
in
our
patch
and
what
the
trends
are
and
how
we
can
do
our
best
job.
In
dealing
with
individual
cases.
There
have
been
major
improvements
on
all
those
fronts,
including
funding.
I
That's
been
given
to
these
plans
given
to
us
for
these
plans
and
victoria
and
her
team
are
doing
a
fantastic
job
to
keep
levels
of
infection
as
down
as
as
as
low
as
we
possibly
can
within
the
city,
particularly
at
a
time
when
our
neighbours
have
higher
relative
levels
of
infection
compared
to
other
parts
of
the
country,
so
bradford
and
kerkley's
in
particular,
but
wakefield
and
calderdale
actually,
as
well
with
some
rising
cases,
are
doing
a
really
good
job
themselves
to
keep
infection
levels
down,
but
they
are
higher
than
ours
and
obviously,
with
our
borders
and
our
the
movement
of
people,
as
we
know,
happens
across
administrative
areas.
I
We
we
need
to
remain
as
vigilant
as
possible
and
deal
with
outbreaks
as
quickly
as
possible,
and
the
the
region
is
doing
a
good
job
in
making
sure
that
dphs
and
others
are
working
together
to
to
being
unable
to
work
together.
To
do
that,
and
that
will
continue
to
be
a
a
challenge.
The
the
data
position
is
much
improved
from
when
I
started
the
role
it
is.
I
It
is
now
the
case
that
there'll
be
daily
updates
of
postcode
level,
data
on
positive
cases
and
testing
generally
for
each
dph
coming
through
broken
down
by
postcode,
ethnicity,
gender,
etc,
and
we
hope
to
get
to
a
position
shortly
where
the
actual
data
itself,
with
the
personal
identifiable
data,
the
nhs
reference
is,
is
the
same
when,
in
a
day
when
a
dph
is
dealing
with
it
as
a
as
a
national
public
health,
england,
member
of
staff
is
dealing
with
it
and
I
think
that's
the
last
bit
that
I'm
really
keen
to
get
us
to
the
other
thing
we're
trying
to
do,
because,
although
the
national
system
is
working
pretty
well
and
is
reaching
you
know,
seven
or
eight
out
of
ten
of
people
who
are
getting
tested
and
and
nearly
eight
or
nine
out
of
ten
people
who
are
contacts
and
persuading
them
to
to
isolate
self-isolate.
I
It's
not
getting
200,
and
if
we
can
get
referrals
to
a
local
level
after
say
48
hours
of
trying
with
the
national
system.
We
can
get
those
numbers
up
even
higher,
and
we
also
need
to
make
sure
that
people
who
are
self-isolating
have
the
financial
ability
to
do
so.
So
the
leader
has
been
helping
lead,
a
a
push
from
the
lga
and
others
to
to
make
representations
to
the
treasury
to
help
people
who
are
in
that
situation,
who
might
otherwise
not
self-isolate
and
go
and
work
somewhere
else.
I
Even
if
a
business
premise
is
closed,
so
those
sort
of
issues
are
very
live
and
ones
that
we're
talking
to
the
treasury
about
and,
as
I
say,
we've
made
a
lot
of
progress
on
the
money
on
the
plans
on
data
on
testing
deployment
on
many
other
things,
to
transform
what
has
been
a
very
national
system
into
one
that
has
a
very
strong
local
foundation
to
it,
an
increasingly
influential
local
element
to
it.
I
If
we
have
to
do
all
the
things
we've
been
doing,
but
do
them
in
the
winter
months,
when
the
weather's
bad
and
when
the
nights
draw
in
and
when
people
find
it
even
harder
to
you
know
to
get
out
and
about
at
times,
and
so
the
integration
between
care
homes
and
the
nhs
is
going
to
be
absolutely
vital
and
the
interface
as
people
move
from
one
to
the
other
from
hospital
particularly,
is
going
to
be
something
that
you
know.
I
Council,
childhood
and
council,
blake
and
others
have
have
been
very
strongly
advocating
for
a
very
safe
means
and
a
high
amount
of
testing
taking
place
for
that
to
happen,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
happens
in
the
next
phase.
I
We
also
need
to
have
the
final
thing
I
would
say
is
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
funding
basis
for
the
council
ourselves,
but
also
in
social
care
to
be
able
to
play
those
roles,
and
we
we
I'm
very
grateful
for
the
cross-party
support
that
we've
had
to
make
that
economic
case.
That
financial
case
to
the
treasury-
and
I
think
we'll
need
to
continue
to
do
that
and
we'll
come
on
to
the
finance
paper
later.
A
Okay,
thank
you
before
I
hand
over
for
questions,
can
I
just
say
an
enormous
thank
you
to
victoria
and
her
team
for
for
how
they've
stepped
up
to
the
cross
as
well,
what
a
baptism
of
fire
coming
just
coming
into
post
and
having
to
pick
pick
this
up.
I
don't
know
if
there's
anything
you
want
to
add
at
this
point
victoria.
J
Thank
you,
councillor
blake,
I
guess
just
to
stress
part
of
what
tom's
just
highlighted
in
the
sense
that
we
continue
to
be
incredibly
vigilant
across
the
city
in
terms
of
our
prevention
work.
Our
swift
response
to
outbreaks,
because
we
are
very
conscious
of
neighbouring
authorities
and
cross-border
issues
and
I'd
just
like
to
thank
everybody.
Who's
involved
right
across
the
council
in
the
city,
because
it
is
really,
as
you've
said,
cancer
blake
through
the
outbreak
board
and
through
all
the
arrangements.
We
had
a
true
city
response.
J
So
clearly
we
as
a
team
do
what
we
can,
but
but
but
it
feels
incredibly
strong
because
of
the
engagement
across
the
city.
So
just
to
note
that
the
paper
was
written
at
the
end
of
last
week
and
and
and
the
rates
in
the
paper
were
were
live
at
the
on
the
14th
of
july.
J
So
the
rate
was
6.6
at
the
time
in
in
the
paper
just
just
to
to
share
with
executive
boards
that
there
was
a
slight
increase
in
in
rates
up
to
the
17th
of
july,
and
then
they've
dropped
off
and
up
up
until
today.
So
that's
the
case
for
both
leeds
and
west
yorkshire,
so
we
did
get
up
on
thursday
to
a
rate
of
7.6
and
those
have
fallen
again.
J
Now,
I'm
still
waiting
for
today's
rate
to
come
through,
but
I
have
had
our
daily
briefing
from
test
and
trace,
which
shows
that
we've,
our
rag
rating,
has
turned
green
again
as
a
council
for
the
first
time
in
a
week,
so
there
seemed
to
be
a
slight
sort
of
peak
not
just
for
us
but
but
more
more
prominently
for
west
yorkshire
last
week,
which
was
proved
particularly
challenging,
but
that
feels
much
more
positive
now.
J
So
the
and
I
think,
particularly
with
the
wakefield
situation,
there
was
some
issues
of
leeds
residents
being
affected
by
them:
two
two
outfits
in
wakefield,
so
the
the
leeds
outbreak
situation
and
continues
to
be
relatively
low.
We
continue
to
focus
on
all
of
our
preventative
work
and
proactive
work
with
communities
which
is
key
to
to
the
plan
and,
as
tom
said,
as
we
move
forward
as
lockdown
continues
to
ease
it's
about
being
ready
for
the
next
series
of
challenges.
J
September,
we
know
will
be
challenging
with
the
return
of
schools
and
for
us
at
universities,
as
well
as
the
onset
of
winter,
for
the
health
and
care
system,
so
we'll
continue
to
adapt
the
plan
as
we
move
through
those
those
those
next
challenges.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you
andrew.
G
I
think
first
of
all,
I've
been
extremely
impressed
over
this
past
two
or
three
weeks
with
the
speed
with
which,
through
the
covid
board,
we've
responded
to
outbreaks
or
potential
outbreaks,
and
some
people
listening
to
this
may
think
that
there
haven't
been
any
outbreaks
in
the
or
suspected
outbreaks
in
lees
and,
of
course,
we
know
that
they
have
but
they've
been
responded
to
very
quickly
and
it
would
appear
very
successfully
and
that
I
think,
is
a
reason
for
some
optimism.
G
However,
what
we
all
know
we
can't
face
is
another
lockdown
of
the
economy
of
the
country
and
the
way
we've
had
and
that's
why
these
additional
local
powers
have
now
come
down
to
us,
and
I
think,
there's
one
very
clear
message,
and
that
is
we
want
to
avoid
at
all
costs.
G
Another
total
lockdown,
however,
where
there
is
a
suspected
outbreak,
we
will
act
with
the
powers
we've
been
given
quickly
and
in
a
very
determined
fashion,
because
if
we
want
to
achieve
the
objective
and
make
sure
there's
no
wide
scale
lockdown,
we
have
to
deal
with
the
small
outbreaks
in
a
very
decisive
manner
and
I'm
sure
that's
what
we
will
do
on
the
issue
of
funding.
We're
gonna
we'll
be
coming
to
it
again
shortly.
G
But
I've
been
more
than
happy
to
add
my
six
pennies
as
they
say
to
all
calls
for
as
much
financial
assistance
as
we
can
get
from
government,
and
we
have
had
many
millions
of
pounds
in
all
sorts
of
directions
and
they
are
in
a
the
same
situation
as
leads
only
magnified.
Heaven
knows
how
many
times.
G
Nonetheless,
if
we
are,
as
we
are
expecting
now
to
deal
with
more
and
more
on
a
local
basis,
then
there
are
obviously
financial
implications
and
we
have
to
make
sure
that
that
we
get
the
financial
support
that
we
need.
G
Tom
nick
made
the
point
about
the
onset
of
winter
and
the
need
to
make
sure
that
the
health
service,
when
it
comes
to
discharging
elderly
people
back
into
homes,
does
make
sure
the
right
amount
of
testing
is
is
carried
out
because
that's
going
to
be
where
I
think
the
impact
in
any
event
in
winter
is
always
felt,
and
that
can
be
made
doubly
more
the
case
with
this.
G
It's
interesting
looking
at
the
statistics
about
admissions
and
the
number
of
people
being
now
offered
care
packages
at
home
as
opposed
to
going
into
an
elderly
person's
home.
Now,
that's
all
a
matter
of
us
rebuilding
confidence
in
the
system.
Indeed,
it
is
across
the
piece,
a
question
of
building
confidence,
but
that
can
only
be
done
by
maintaining
absolute
vigilance
in
all
respects
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
message
is
repeated
by
all
of
us.
G
We
had
a
debate
last
week,
not
less
than
a
week
ago
in
the
council
on
kobe,
so
I'll
leave
it
at
that,
but
I
think
I'm
very
thankful
for
the
briefings
that
I
am
receiving.
G
Just
one
point
I
have
to
say
I
look
in
the
media
about
particularly
at
leicester
and
some
of
the
comments
coming
out
of
the
leicester,
local
authority
area.
We
have
had
a
lot
of
the
statistics.
They
seem
to
have
been
unable
to
get
their
hands
on
and
it
astonishes
me
that
that
we
have
been
excellently
briefed
in
every
respect
and
yet
there
seems
to
be
some
areas
that
don't
seem
to
press
the
right,
be
able
to
press
the
right
right
button
on
the
computer.
A
I'm
sure
there
there
might
be
views
around
some
of
this
stuff.
But
if
I
could
pass
on
to
casa
goldson
and
just
ask
if
you
have
anything
you'd
like
to
say
or
ask.
H
Yes,
thanks
to
the
chair.
Well,
I
appreciate
that
the
council
has
been
given
new
powers
now
by
the
government,
but
it's
also
being
given
some
new
problems.
I'm
not
sure
that
it's
good
to
have
powers
if
you're
not
actually
able
to
have
the
tools
to
solve
things
that
come
your
way.
H
So,
for
instance,
I
know
that
our
nightingale
hospital
in
harrogate
is
housed
in
a
conference
center,
and
then
the
government
tells
us
that
they
want
conferences
to
start
resuming
from
late
summer,
and
where
does
that
put
us
in
terms
of
preparation
for
a
second
wave
victoria
eaton
knows
I
have
concerns
of
my
own
as
well
around
taxi
firms
and
how
we
protect
both
drivers
and
passengers,
as
these
are
used
more
heavily,
while
public
transport
is
still
restricted.
H
We
need
to
have
clarification
as
to
what
an
essential
journey
is
on
public
transport,
because
people
aren't
going
on
it
because
they
don't
think
they're
allowed
yet,
and
yet
in
the
next
breath,
it's
supposed
to
be
open
to
anybody
who
wants
to
go
to
work
and
then,
of
course,
there
are
instances
when
the
bubble
bursts.
So,
at
a
time
of
civic
celebration
has
been
referred
to
by
the
leader
and
and
leader
of
the
conservatives.
H
And
we
should
all
be
working
together
to
control
that
situation,
because
you
couldn't
track
and
trace
in
millennium
square
the
other
night
and
I'm
not
sure
that
our
track
and
trace
model
in
terms
of
the
technology
and
the
expectations
of
those
that
we're
contacting
is
actually
putting
us
in
a
good
position
to
confidently
lock
down
locally.
Where
we
need
to-
and
I
just
wondered
if
there
was
any
comment
on
that
from
victoria
or.
A
Tom
tom,
would
you
like
to
come
back
first.
I
I
I
think
I
I
think
that
it's
a
it's
a
balance.
I
think
I
I,
when
I've
been
doing
the
job
nationally,
there
were
different
views
actually
from
the
sector,
about
whether
we
should
get
powers
or
whether
you
know
it
should
be
left
to
government,
and
I
I
think
we
have
to
recognize
that
it's
always
you
know,
I,
I
think
the
the
one
of
the
main
points.
I
I've
always
tried
to
stress,
as
I
know
that
you
and
and
others
the
leader
and
others
have,
is
that
you
can
put
your
best
system
in
place
of
tracking
and
tracing
testing
and
tracing
that
you'd
like,
but
it's
down
to
individuals
to
do
the
right
thing
and
to
to
to
operate
and
act
in
line
with
the
guidance
and
that's
what's
going
to
keep
us
safe
and
that
that
hasn't
changed
and
that
absolutely
needs
to
continue.
I
And
I
you
know,
I
won't
make
any
more
comment
than
that
about
that
that
issue
and
where
we've
been
the
last
few
days.
The
the
second
point,
I
think,
is
that
that
I
think
the
powers
we've
got.
You
know
a
pretty.
I
If
you
look
at
how
many
other
powers
have
been
given
away
to
other
sectors
recently
and
even
to
mayors,
I
think
these
are
the
first
for
a
for
a
long
while,
so
I
feel
quite
pleased
that
we've
managed
to
secure
them
and
I
think
they're
appropriate
as
well
they're,
not
over
the
top,
though
it
basically
makes
it
swifter
and
easier
for
us
for
us
to
act
in
a
way
that
we're
used
to
acting.
But
even
then
the
the
powers
are
a
deterrent
in
a
lot
of
ways.
I
You
don't
really
want
to
have
to
forcibly
close
things
down.
You
want
to
work
with
owners
to
do
the
right
thing
and
get
a
deep
clean
done
so
that
it's
only
temporary
and
and
get
people
self-isolating
so
that
you
can
move
things
on.
So
so
you
know
that's
the
that's
the
basis
of
the
powers
that
we've
got.
I
think
the
national
situation
is.
I
Is
it
you
know
the
wider
powers
if,
if
it
does
get
wider
in
terms
of
community
spread
and
outbreak
and
everything
I
think,
should
sit
in
a
national
framework
and
and
and
but
even
then,
as
in
leicester,
you've
got
to
have
a
very
strong
local
and
national
working
relationship
and
and
that
you
know,
that's
something
that
we've
all
got
to
work
on
as
we
move
forward.
I
I
think
there
are
examples
of
kirkleese,
bradford,
blackburn
and
others
have
worked
very
proactively
and
well
with
the
powers
that
they've
got
and
and
the
communities
they've
got,
and
so
there's
good
practice
out
there
as
well
but
yeah.
I
I
it's
one
to
keep
watching
and
I'd
come
back
to
the
point
I
made
about
the
finances,
the
biggest
risk
to
all
of
this.
Is
the
council
finances
more
generally,
it's
not
individual
powers
or
individual
resources.
A
Okay
victoria
did
you
want
to
come
back
at
all.
J
Yes,
please
just
on
a
few
points
later.
First
of
all,
I
I
think
councillor
galton
raises
a
a
really
key
point
around
the
managing
the
expectations
of
what
we
do
locally,
as
opposed
to
what
happens
nationally
and
regionally,
which
is
is,
is
just
is
proving
to
be.
J
You
know
a
real,
a
real
area
of
focus
for
us
to
continue
to
do
so,
for
example,
and
it
was
mentioned
also
by
councillor
carter
in
terms
of
swift
response
to
outbreaks
locally,
we're
seeing
that
we're
expecting
to
do
we're
expected
to
do
much
more
of
the
heavy
lifting
around
response
to
local
outbreaks.
So
we
need
to
ensure
that,
as
we
set
up
our
local
capacity,
we're
ready
to
do
that,
and
so
that's
one.
That's
one
key
issue.
I
I
think
as
well.
J
The
issue
about
being
proactive
with
some
of
our
key
groups
is
something
we're
really
keen
to
do
locally,
as
well
so
councillor
golton,
as
mentioned
taxi
drivers
as
one
example
we're
we're
really
keen
to
regularly
test
taxi
drivers.
We
would
love
to
do
that
locally.
At
the
moment.
We're
being
asked
to
hang
on
before.
We
do
do
that
because
there
are
four
places
in
the
country
included
bradford
that
is
piloting
the
regular
testing
of
asymptomatic
key
workers,
including
taxi
drivers.
So
again
we
would
be
keen
to
do
that
locally.
J
We
just
have
to
negotiate
that
with
that
with
the
national
pilots,
but-
and
the
point
is
well
recognized
and
I
fully
support
that.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
I
think
we've
we've
given
that
a
a
very
good
airing
and
of
course
this
will
be
continue
to
be
a
standing
item
on
our
agendas
as
we
go
forward
and
come
back
after
august
into
the
start
of
the
the
autumn
and
the
winter
season,
and
I
don't
need
to
say
any
more
about
the
resourcing
because
we're
going
to
go
straight
into
councillor
lewis's
portfolio.
A
But
whenever
I
get
the
opportunity,
I
do
stress
the
point
you
know,
there's
there's
absolutely
no
point
in
having
the
the
powers.
A
If
we
haven't
got
the
local
resource
to
be
able
to
deliver
the
work
that
we
do
and
I
think
it's
one
thing
to
get
the
recognition
from
from
westminster
and
whitehall.
But
really,
I
think
there
needs
to
be
a
much
greater
understanding
of
the
risks
that
are
coming
to
to
us
through
the
financial
situation
in
locally
of
just
how
on
earth.
A
They
expect
us
to
be
able
to
respond
when
asked
to
do
so
as
things
move
forward,
but
with
that,
if
we
could
agree
the
recommendation
of
the
paper
and
acknowledge
the
the
work
across
the
city
in
response
this
far
and
move
on
now
to
councillor
lewis's
portfolio
festival
for
the
financial
health
monitoring
report.
B
Thank
you
leader
and,
like
the
last
report,
they
flow
together
fairly
nicely.
So
quite
a
lot
of
the
comments
have
been
made
on
the
last
report
that
relate
to
this
one,
particularly
around
the
real
urgency,
to
resolve
the
council's
financial
problems
and
stabilize
the
finances.
B
So
we
are
both
able
to
respond
to
the
the
increasing
focus,
as
council
card
said,
on
on
on
outbreak
control
being
based
locally,
but
also
in
the
broader
context
of
our
ability
to
restore
public
services
and
then
to
play
our
part
in
helping
the
economy
recover
and
help
help
things
out
would
be
working
like
transport.
What
whatnot
will
support
that?
What
I
would
say
in
in
again
in
introducing
this
is
a
couple
things.
B
First
of
all,
on
the
table
at
3.4.2
on
page
108
of
the
document
pack,
the
estimated
share
figure
in
there.
We
now
know
that
the
actual
share
is
is
7.8
million,
which
means
that
the
revised
funding
gap
for
this
financial
year
is
now
stands
at
63.9
million
pounds.
And
again,
this
report
sets
out
a
number
of
the
ways
that
we
hope
to.
B
I
hope
to
move
forward
on
that,
both
in
terms
of
if
we
have
to
find
that
the
processes
will
go
through
or
the
work
we're
doing
on
on
central
government.
I
think
leader,
as
tom
mentioned
in
in
his
comments
on
the
last
report,
maybe
as
I've
finished
tom
could
update,
is
on
the
position
with
the
national
government
negotiations
around
this.
I
Yeah,
just
victoria
bradshaw
has
been
in
touch
with
the
officials
who
run
the
national
local
government
finance
program
and
is
we're
in
regular
touch,
as
other
councils
are
about
our
financial
situation.
I
I've
also
spoken
to
senior
mhclg
officials
to
make
sure
that
they're
aware
of
our
our
specific
challenges,
which
are,
as
we've
said
before,
to
do
with
the
the
way
leads
as
a
council's
finances
and
and
grant
and
income
are
structured
and
have
been
over
a
long
period
of
time,
and
there
is
a
recognition
of
that.
I
We,
we
will
be
continuing
those
discussions
throughout
the
the
summer
so
that
we
can
be
in
a
position
to
to
formally
go
to
the
government
if
we
need
to
to
look
at
the
gap
that
still
remains
in
our
finances
for
this
financial
year
before
the
spending
review,
the
treasury,
understandably,
have
we've
been
wanting
to
hold
decisions
about
future
years
for
the
the
spending
review
that's
planned
for
later
in
the
year,
but
many
councils
like
ours
in
the
sector
have
been
making
the
point
about
the
the
welcome
support.
I
I
That's
why
we
need
these
discussions
with
government
and
why
we
will
need
to
I'm
sure
at
some
point
in
the
year,
unless
something
dramatic
happens
and
changes,
we'll
need
to
be
going
back
to
them
to
have
that
conversation
more
directly
and
formally
about
how
we
can
fill
that
gap
between
our
our
budget
and
what
is
what
what
has
been
the
impact
of
covid
on
leads
specifically
over
the
last
few
few
months,
so
we'll
obviously
be
keeping
exec
board
completely
updated
on
that
and,
as
I
said
before,
the
the
cross-party
approach
to
these
issues
makes
it
much
more
compelling
for
government
to
listen
to
us.
A
Okay,
thank
you
tom.
I
don't
know
if
victor,
if
you
want
to
come
in
now
or
if
you
want
to
wait
and
see
what
questions
we've
got
I'll,
wait
to
see
what
questions
we've
got.
That's
okay,
council,
blake.
G
Yes
and
I'll
stay
in
exactly
the
same,
measured
tones
that
have
been
used
so
far.
If
and
when
it
comes
to
taking
very
difficult
decisions,
I'm
sure
there
will
be
a
parting
of
the
ways
on
some
of
them,
but
at
the
moment
that's
not
the
case,
and
I
think
it's
essential
that
those
of
us
who
can
put
some
input
into
whitehall
and
the
treasury
do
so
to
support
the
council's
position.
G
It
is
true
to
say
that
leeds
has
some
issues
that
other
authorities
don't
have,
as
thomas
said.
Historically,
some
rightly
some
wrongly,
but
nevertheless
it's
it's
imperative.
We
get
the
extra
support
and
I
had
an
a
a
first-class
briefing
from
victoria
last
week,
and
all
I
would
say
is
that
we
need
to
at
least
for
the
time
being,
maintain
the
all
parties
approach.
G
What
I
don't
want
to
find
is
that
I
am
saying
one
thing
and
then
it's
undermined
in
another
direction
and
as
long
as
I
get
the
assurance
that
I'm
going
to
be
kept
fully
in
the
loop
from
the
council's
end,
not
just
the
government's
end.
That's
great,
because
we
need
to
work
together
to
secure
the
future
of
the
council's
finances.
A
Okay,
thank
you
councillor.
Galton,
do
you
want
to
come
in.
H
Yes,
chair
just
to
just
to
add
that
everyone
appreciates
that
the
council
is
in
an
odious
position
in
terms
of
having
to
commit
to
spending
up
front
and
relying
on
the
good
faith
of
the
government
to
compensate
where
appropriate,
but
that
some
services,
just
through
the
fact
that
the
income
that
the
council
has
relied
on
in
the
past
and
has
developed
over
the
years
as
an
extra
way
of
keeping
council
tax
down.
Just
isn't
there
anymore.
H
And
this
isn't
the
time
for
any
political
shenanigans
to
happen
and
for
anyone
to
try
and
get
any
kind
of
advantage
over
difficult
decisions
being
made.
And
we
will
play
our
part
as
colleagues
on
the
council
when
the
administration
looks
at
individual
areas
of
spend
and
where
we
might
need
to
draw
our
reins
in
this
year
in
the
hope
that
they
can
be
expanded
again
in
years
afterwards.
A
Okay,
thank
you
councillors.
Do
you
want
to
draw
the
paper
to
conclusion.
B
Thank
you
leader,
and
I
welcome
the
comments
from
council
carter
and
galton
and
just
give
that
assurance.
It's
a
it's
an
ever-changing
picture
in
terms
of
the
the
resources
available
and
and
the
position
we're
in,
but
I
can
no
question.
I
can
give
the
assurance
that
council
carter
asked
for
that
will
keep
all
group
leaders
in
touch
with
the
position
run
and
we
welcome
the
cross
party
work
at
this
stage.
Like
tom
said.
B
I
think
it
gives
us
a
really
strong
position
with
the
government
to
continue
that
and
we'll
certainly
play
our
part
in
making
all
that
information
available.
A
Thank
you.
Can
I
just
also
add
that
we've
had
expressions
of
real
support
from
our
partners
across
the
city
in
this
as
well,
and
I
think,
the
more
the
more
voices
that
we
can
actually
get
working
with
us
on
this
and
the
the
better.
I
think,
there's
a
an
enormous
recognition
of
the
contribution
that
the
council
makes
in
so
many
different
areas
that
that
we
really
can't
afford
to
to
lose
so
with
them.
With
those
comments,
can
we
agree
that
can.
A
L
K
Yeah,
so
it's
it's
really
just
to
emphasize
to
members
really
that
I
think
this.
These
estimates
are
very
much
estimates
and
they're
based
on
so
many
assumptions
that
you
need
to
kind
of
bear
that
in
mind,
and
I
think
figures
will
fluctuate
from
month
to
month.
That's
why
it's
important
to
to
keep
such
a
close
eye
on
it.
K
I
I
expect
actually,
next
month
there
to
be
quite
a
significant
variation
which
which
will
which
will
improve
some
of
the
situation,
but
then,
equally,
we
will
see
how
things
like
the
restarting
of
sports
centers
go
and
what
sort
of
income
we
get
so
there
are.
There
are
great
uncertainties
in
this
year's
budget
in
a
way
that
we've
never
had
before,
and
I
think
just
members
need
to
be
aware
of
that.
Rather
than
taking
the
figure
as
as
something
which
is
which
is
gospels.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Your
comments
are
noted.
So
so
with
that,
can
we
agree
the
recommendations
and
move
on
to
councillor's
second
paper.
Please.
B
Thank
you
leader.
This
is
the
capital
programme
update.
I
think
the
important
point
I
would
highlight
is
this
is
one
of
the
areas
where
we
have
restricted
further
spending.
Whilst
we
are
reviewing
our
finances,
it
sets
out
in
the
paperless
terms
where
we
are
allowing
whether
it's
health
and
safety
covered
nineteen
related
spend
or
those
capital
programs
where
we
receive
external
income
and
grants,
or
we
are
currently
committed
to
delivering
them.
B
There's
quite
a
useful
table
table
one
which
sets
out
the
breakdown
of
the
sources
of
funding
for
the
capital
programme
to
show
actually
a
great
deal
of
it
is
is,
is
funded
in
in
in
different
ways.
Finally,
we've
been
asked:
we've
been
asked
to
agree
the
schemes
on
under
the
recommendations
and
again
it
sets
out
for
all
of
them.
B
A
Okay,
thank
you.
James
council
carter,.
G
G
I
I
was
conscious
that
when
we
agreed
as
an
executive
board
to
go
ahead
with
that
scheme,
it
was
before
the
government
announcement
and
we
therefore
did
so
at
our
own
risk,
or
should
I
say,
the
taxpayers
risk
and
I'd
like
to
know
how
that
announcement
of
that
we're
going
to
get
the
21
million
and
indeed
at
the
additional
1.3
million
for
natural
flood
defense
work
impacts
upon
the
capital
programme.
G
G
The
complete
picture
here
is
the
progress
on
capital
receipts
and
the
disposal
of
surplus
assets
and
how
we
intend
to
then
use
those
receipts
to
help
our
financial
situation
in
the
short
medium
term
and
I'd
like
to
think
we
can
have
that
sort
of
information
long
before
the
crucial
round
of
meetings
in
september.
A
Victoria,
do
you
want
to
come
in?
Thank
you,
council
blake,
and
the
funding
that
we
received
regarding
the
flood
alleviation
scheme
means
that
now
that
we're
not.
M
Going
at
risk
with
the
scheme
so
we'll
be
able
to
progress
it
and
without
the
risk
that
we
wouldn't
get
that
funding
in
there.
But
I
have
to
to
borrow
to
fund
that
so
it
takes
away
that
risk
from
the
capital
programme.
So
we
can
progress.
M
F
Yeah
I
can
do
victoria.
I
mean
members
will
recall
that,
because
of
the
need
to
progress
the
flood
alleviation
scheme
at
pace,
we
split
it
into
into
two
parts.
So
there
was
the
element
that
delivered
100
year,
protection,
which
has
a
capital
value
of
about
87
million
pounds
and
that
started
on
site
in
january,
and
then
within
that
we
had
a
variation
where
the
second
element
of
that,
which
is
the
flood
attenuation
further
upstream
and
enhanced
natural
flood
management,
could
be
varied
into
that
contract.
F
If
that
funding
came
forward,
so
there
was
about
23
and
a
half
million
pounds
of
funding
requested
and,
as
councillor
carter
rightly
points
out,
the
government
announced
that
a
funding
of
21
million
pounds
for
the
core
scheme
and
a
further
1.32
million
pounds
for
the
natural
flood
management,
so
that
provides
a
very
large
part
of
that
funding.
That
was
outstanding.
That
will
now
allow
us
to
move
forward
with
confidence
with
the
element
that
provides
flood
protection
of
one
in
one
in
200
years
from
the
entirety
of
the
flood
alleviation
works
that
we've
brought
forward.
F
A
You
I
think,
it's
fair
to
say
that
there
is
still
some
work
to
do
to
make
sure
that
we
secure
that
funding
in
terms
of
the
business
plan,
but
very
much
as
we
said
last
week.
It
is
welcome
and
it
is
the
result
of
an
impressive
campaign
from
across
the
across
the
city
cross
party,
with
mps
as
well
as
the
council,
and
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
protection
that
we
know
that
the
corridor
really
does
need,
and
we
all
know
that
we
saw
it
in
last
winter.
A
Although
it
didn't
actually
come
to
a
crisis
situation.
The
levels
did
get
very
very
high
over
the
last
winter.
So
we
can
expect
repeats
of
the
the
flooding
that
we've
had
in
recent
years.
But
we
are
conscious
that
there
is
more
work
to
do
to
make
sure
we
absolutely
nail
it
down.
F
Yeah,
the
the
the
the
fine
wording
in
the
in
the
press
statement.
Council
blake,
was
that
the
announcement
is
subject
to
death
and
treasury
sign
off.
So
that's
the
process
that
we're
going
through
but,
as
you
say
it
is,
it
is
a
very
big
step
forward
in
terms
of
where
we
were.
A
Okay,
any
further
comments:
council
lewis,
or
are
you
happy
to
move
on.
B
Thank
you
just
on
council
carter's
comment
about
asics.
It
says
like
many
of
the
financial
aspects,
it's
a
a
much
changing
picture,
we'll
be
happy
to
make
sure
that
a
briefing
is
provided
leader
and
councillor
carter.
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
your
support
to
both
council
council
galton
for
the
that
we
know
the
difficult
work
that
we're
going
to
have
to
do
over
the
next
few
months.
A
L
Thank
you.
I'm
pleased
to
be
presenting
to
you
executive
board,
the
latest
phase
of
district
heating
network
roll
out
in
leeds,
so
this
is
low.
Carbon
energy
from
waste
using
energy
from
the
city's
refuse
had
the
energy
from
waste
plants.
That's
already
been
connected
to
around
950
council
high-rise
blocks,
sorry
950
flats
in
those
high-rise
blocks
and
public
buildings
include
seeing
leeds
play
house
and
currently
being
connected
up
to
the
civic
hall
amongst
the
buildings
of
the
city
centre.
L
L
The
program
not
only
is
supporting
low
carbon
energy
efficiency,
but
also
supporting
the
expansion
of
the
superfast
broadband
rollout
in
the
city,
as
the
telecommunications
pipelines
are
also
put
down
at
the
same
time
as
the
district's
heating
pipes.
So
recommendations
are
to
executive
boards
to
when
we
get
secured
funding
from
the
bay's
h
net
funding,
which
is
the
heat
networks.
L
Investments
project
just
injects
that,
alongside
some
capital,
borrowing
visual
borrowing
to
deliver
this
phase
working
in
a
partnership
with
businesses
down
there
as
part
of
commercial
agreements
with
them,
that's
still
being
drawn
up
and
it'll,
be
a
council
special
purpose
vehicle
that
will
receive
that
funding
and
then
be
working
in
partnership
with
vital
energy
and
arab
to
roll.
The
scheme
out.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Councillor
carter.
G
Can
you
clarify
for
me
how
much
the
council
is
going
to
borrow
that
is
unsupported.
G
Thirdly,
can
I
have
an
assurance
that
we
will
not
sign
any
agreement
until
vast
tint,
which
is,
I
think
part
of
ikea-
is
actually
con
contractually
committed
to
building
their
new
building?
G
In
leeds
now
came
on
board,
it's
my
understanding
that
they
originally
sought
to
go
on
their
own,
the
nhs
and,
on
this
particular
occasion
it's
not.
D
G
Worked
out
as
they
would
have
liked
and
clearly
is
a
big
benefit
to
us
if
they
were
to
join
in
our
scheme.
Thank
you.
L
That's
right
most
of
the
questions
there
were.
It
was
very
interesting,
should.
K
We're
cutting
out
at
various
points,
but
I
think
the
the
I
think
grasp
the
main
point,
which
is
to
say
that,
as
part
of
the
recommendations,
it's
saying
delegate
a
responsibility
to
only
invest
once
a
suitable
commercial
agreement
has
been
reached.
So
we
we
won't
we're
going
to
be
committing
something
like
3.8
million
pounds.
But
it's
going
to
be
on
the
basis
that
we
know
that
vastin
are
going
forward.
K
We
can
go
into
the
details
of
the
risk
assessment
more
and
in
in
the
pinks,
but
I
I
I'm
also
happy
to
commit
to
some
of
the
amazing,
with
opposition
leaders
in
advance
of
signing
off
the
agreement,
to
show
that
we've
got
sufficient
guarantees
before
we
go
forward,
but
clearly
what
it
does.
What
it
is
doing
and
in
this
public
part
of
the
paper
is
opening
up
a
huge
opportunity
for
us
in
the
south
bank
of
the
city
to
develop
all
the
new
housing
connected
to,
and
also
just
by
way
of
explaining.
K
A
F
Well,
my
understanding
council
blake
and
I
can
clarify
this
for
members,
but
they're
have
ownership
owned
by
the
family,
but
it's
a
completely
separate
company
that
I
think
is
registered.
A
L
A
Okay,
thank
you
with
those
comments,
then,
and
obviously
further
discussion.
The
pink
papers
can
we
agree
the
recommendations
before
us
and
with
that,
could
we
move
on
to
your
second
item.
Please
counsel.
L
Her
thank
you.
So.
This
second
item
is
around
improving
public
transport
access
and
active
travel
in
that
will
connect
communities
across
the
city.
So
eight
wards
covered
in
these
schemes
they'll
create
new
or
upgraded
facilities
for
bus
transport,
users,
travel
information,
real
time,
travel,
information
for
people,
enhancing
connections
between
public
transport
hubs,
schools,
communities
and
improving,
walking
and
recycling
they're
fully
funded
through
the
dft's
public
transport
program,
and
the
plan
is
to
begin
construction
of
the
schemes
this
summer
with
completion
by
summer
2021
there's
a
breakdown
of
seven
schemes.
L
Eight
health
awards
with
a
range
of
schemes
covering,
for
instance,
improvements
to
the
the
bus,
the
connections
from
new
pudsey
station
to
communities
in
pudsey
to
walking
and
cycling
links
through
center
through
lincoln
green,
which
also.
L
Do
schemes
that
will
include
the
linking
of
loft
house,
robin
hood
through
rothwell
up
to
ruffle
country
park
and
the
communities
again
and
quite
isolated
in
my
order
through
to
middleton,
so
there's
a
range
of
different
schemes
there
and
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
For
now,
I'm
sure
there'll
be.
A
Questions,
thank
you
there's
a
bit
of
banging
going
on.
I
don't
know
if
anyone
needs
to
mute
their
phone,
if
I
could
ask
how's
the
carter
first,
if
you
have
any
questions.
G
Yes,
thank
you,
chad.
No,
not
many.
I
just
want
to
make
a
point
on
the
proposal
which
actually
does
slightly
impinge
into
carving
fastly
ward,
but
the
punchy
members
have
raised
with
me
that
they
have
not
been
briefed,
but
I
have
had
an
undertaking
from
officers
involved
with
the
scheme
apologizing
for
that
and
of
undertaking
to
make
sure
they
get
to
proper
briefing
before
they
suddenly
find
people
on
site
and
residents,
undoubtedly
raising
issues.
G
If
you
split
this
up
equally
across
the
schemes,
it's
a
million
pounds
of
scheme-
I
realize
it's
from
the
ltp,
but
have
we
done
any
research
into
the
financial
breakdowns
of
these
schemes
post
covered?
These
were
all
schemes
as
far
as
I'm
aware
that
were
drawn
up
prior
to
covid,
we're
not
afraid-
and
that's
obviously
affects
public
transport
more
than
it
would
walking
and
cycling
ways.
So
I
suppose
it's
those
that
I'm
focusing
on
how
they
have
the
financial
costings
been
revisited
in
the
light
of
what's
happened
with
public
transport.
F
Yeah
we'll
pick
up
on
the
local
councillor's
point.
Apologies
for
that
not
quite
sure,
what's
happened
there,
but
I'm
sure
nick
and
the
team
will
just
pick
that
up
in
terms
of
implementation
and
the
cost,
as
with
all
schemes,
we'll
revisit
them.
As
we
get
closer
to
implementation.
F
Covid
19
has
had
some
impact
on
some
of
our
schemes,
but
touchwood
contractors
are
working
very
closely
with
us
on
how
we
can
mitigate
these
impacts
and
keep
costs
down.
So
I
think
it
will
be
part
of
an
ongoing
process,
but
we
have.
We
do
have
nick
on
the
line
whether
he
wants
to
just
make
any
additional
comments.
F
Yes,
thank
you
gary
just
to
respond
on
the
putty
members.
C
C
F
Issue
that
we
discussed
with
councillor
city
last
week
was
actually
about
them
being
kept
up
to
date,
rather
than
engaging
with
them.
Subsequently,
we've
apologized
about
that.
We've
provided
councillors
today
and
his
colleagues
with
a
full
briefing
and
we'll
continue
to
do
so
throughout
the
delivery
process
in
terms
of
the
cost
evaluation
as
a
result
of
covid,
I've
actually
got
a
meeting,
let's
say,
meeting
a
call
with
colleagues
at
the
combined
authority
tomorrow
morning
to
go
to
discuss
such
a
thing
and
we'll
continue
to
look
at
it
as
the
situation
changes.
F
Obviously
it's
quite
it's
quite
fluid
at
the
moment,
and
we
found
that
with
the
city
connect
project,
we're
actually
being
able
to
deliver
it
quicker
and
slightly
cheaper.
So
hopefully
the
corvid
situation
will
allow
us
to
do
the
same
through
the
transport
hubs,
but
we'll
continue
to
monitor
the
situation
throughout
the
delivery
process.
A
Thank
you,
council
galton.
H
Yes,
thanks,
chair
somewhat
similar
to
councillor
carter's
comments
about
pudsey.
H
We,
as
local
councillors
were
concerned
that
the
cycle
way
that
was
proposed
for
our
ward
appeared
out
of
nowhere,
because
it
had
never
actually
been
identified
by
the
community
or
by
councillors
as
a
priority
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
it
appears
in
a
transport
plan.
That's
been
brought
up
supposedly
for
our
benefit,
I'm
I
can
assure
councillor
carter
as
well
that
the
average
of
schemes
might
be
a
middle,
a
million
each,
but
the
scheme
that's
going
through
our
world
is
only
170
000
pounds.
H
So
it's
not
exactly
equitable
distribution
to
be
positive,
it's
good
that
transport
hubs
associated
with
district
town
centres
are
being
recognized
and
that
different
creative
solutions
are
being
sought
for
them.
So,
for
instance,
the
scheme
that
is
going
in
in
pudsey
in
terms
of
connecting
up
a
train
station
which
is
separated
from
the
town
center
by
a
very
major
road,
actually
corresponds
very
similarly
with
the
situation
in
rothwell
ward,
where
rothwell
town
centre
is
separated
from
woodlesfoot
train
station
and
there's
a
great
big
dual
carriageway
going
through
the
middle.
H
H
But
yes,
there
is
a
little
bit
of
a
a
disconnect
between
how
schemes
are
identified
in
the
first
place
before
they
are
presented
to
the
public,
which
they're
meant
to
be
serving,
because
if
we
had
chosen
to
have
a
200
000
cycling
investment
scheme,
it
wouldn't
be
where
it
is
now,
because
there
already
are
cycle
paths,
and
all
this
does
is
basically
stick
a
load
of
tarmac
on
top
to
make
them
bit
wider.
So,
yes
involve
communities
a
little
bit
more
and
you'll
get
even
more
out
of
these
schemes.
A
Okay,
councilman
harren.
Do
you
want
to
come
back
on
that.
L
Yes,
I'm
very
happy
to
come
back
on
that,
so
the
cycle
schemes
were
set
out
in
the
cycling
starts
here
program,
so
they've
been
in
that
some
time,
certainly
arsene.
Robin
hoodworld
members
are
very
pleased
to
be
seeing
the
rothwell
greenway,
which
is
a
an
off-road
route.
That's
basically
a
bit
of
a
dirt
track.
L
Frankly,
most
of
the
way,
massively
enhanced,
with
the
three
meter
wide
all
weather
surface
and
improved
crossings
which
are
currently
not
there
for
the
side
rays
that
join
it
and
also
lighting
through
so
you've
got
underpass
under
the
a61
and
their
underpasses
through
the
motorway
at
the
points
through
from
east
arsenal
and
thought
through
to
middleton,
all
of
which
will
encourage
cycling
to
be
continued
for
children
and
families
getting
to
school
and
that
basically
would
not
want
to
be
using
those
facilities.
L
Otherwise,
so
certainly
it
may
not
have
been
as
well
received
by
rockford
world
members
as
it
was
by
the
public
that
were
consulted
in
both
my
ward
and
in
rothwell
precovered
public
events
that
we
held,
but
it
was
also
supported
by
all
of
the
arsenal,
robin
hood
ward
members.
So-
and
I
don't
know
with
the
the
hudson
schemer
officers-
obviously
answered
that
the
rest
of
the
schemes.
There
was
only
a
few
issues
with
the
middleton
park
scheme.
A
Wards,
thank
you.
Yes,
we
we've
decided
to
go
for
a
more
spread
out
benefit
rather
than
a
concentrated
one
in
my
award.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Okay,
with
that,
can
we
agree
the
recommendations
of
the
report.
A
Thank
you
and
move
forward,
then
onto
the
final
portfolio,
councillor
prior
for
item
12.
N
Thank
you
chair,
so
my
first
paper
is
the
ombudsman
report.
So
this
is
the
second
time
this
ombudsman
report
has
come
to
executive
board.
So
no
members
will
be
familiar
with
it.
It
last
came
in
september.
N
N
G
Yes,
just
one
comment:
obviously
it
was
a
sad
sorry
tale,
particularly
for
the
people
involved.
I
just
want
one
reassurance,
and
that
is
that
we
will
request
that
scrutiny.
Ask
for
progress
reports
on
the
action
plan
as
appropriate.
A
To
come
back
with
no
and
move
on
to
your
final
report,
the
final
report
of
the
day.
N
Thank
you
chair.
So
this
is
the
annual
standards
report,
which
we've
reformatted
a
bit
for
this
year,
and
so
we
can
offer
a
clear
evaluation
of
data
and
direction
of
travel.
We
can
also
demonstrate
how
a
lot
of
the
work
we're
taking
to
improve
things
further
aligned
with
the
3a
strategy,
although
of
course
the
three-year
strategy
was
only
implemented
from
july
19..
I
wasn't
planning
on
going
for
everything
line
by
line
in
this
report.
You'll
be
pleased
to
hear
so.
N
I
just
wanted
to
pick
out
a
few
key
points
so
going
straight
into
the
report.
The
attainment
data
which
I'm
afraid
my
version
or
it
doesn't
have
page
numbers,
but
it's
very
early
on
in
the
report
itself,
shows
that
leads
to
be
trending,
equal
or
upwards
in
22
of
the
26
measures
listed.
N
I
do
think
this
is
a
clear
demonstration
of
how
leeds
is
improving
attainment-wise
over
time.
I
think
it
is
clear
to
say
as
well
that
the
data
nationally
is
improving
too,
but
further
tables,
just
after
then
actually
demonstrate
quite
clearly.
The
lead
is
improving
at
a
faster
rate
than
the
rest
of
the
country,
and
so,
if
we
look
at
the
key
stage,
1
data,
for
example,
tables
5
through
10.
N
So,
for
example,
the
our
percentage
reaching
the
accepted
standards
in
reading
teaching
assessments
has
improved
by
five
points
compared
to
national
improvement
by
one
the
percentage
reached
reaching
the
expected
standard
writing
teacher
assessment
in
lead
by
nine
points
compared
to
an
improvement
of
four
nationally
and
key
stage.
Two
has
a
pattern:
that's
very
similar
of
improving
faster
than
national,
and
so
this
isn't
to
say,
of
course,
that
there's
not
further
to
go.
N
Of
course
it's
not,
but
we
have
a
clear
and
positive
trajectory
of
making
sustained
improvements,
and
the
report
goes
into
detail
about
the
number
of
programs
and
initiatives
being
undertaken
to
ensure
that
not
only
does
this
progress
continue,
but
we
focus
on
specific
areas
such
as
right,
such
as
writing,
which
I
think
is
a
good
example
of
somewhere,
which
does
continue
to
need
additional
support
in
terms
of
progress.
Eight
scores,
which
is
a
measure
which
looks
at
the
the
progress
the
pupil
has
made
in
their
secondary
education.
N
It
compares
what
the
pupil
achieved
in
the
eight
subjects
included
in
their
attainment
eight
score
and
compares
this
to
what
the
pupil
would
have
been
expected
to
achieve.
Given
their
key
stage,
two
results.
So
in
2019,
leader's
progress,
8
score
was
0.03
compared
to
a
national
progress,
8
score
of
negative
0.03,
which
does
mean
that
leeds
children
in
terms
of
improvement
have
outperformed
their
national
counterparts.
N
Now
there
is
still
a
gap
for
our
disadvantaged
students,
and
this
is
something
we're
looking
to
focus
on,
but
it
is
worth
looking
that
on
their
progress,
eight
scores
again
leaders
disadvantaged
pupils,
who's
got
higher
than
the
national
progress.
Eight
score
for
disadvantaged
pupils,
in
terms
of
I
thought,
it'd
be
useful
as
well
to
talk
briefly
about
how
the
this
report
will
go
forward
in
coming
years.
N
Obviously
exams
this
year
have
been
cancelled,
so
I
just
wanted
to
speak
very
briefly
on
how
grades
are
going
to
be
issued
for
pupils
finishing
this
year,
so
for
gcse's
asma
levels
along
with
vocational
technical
qualifications,
the
schools
will
be
asked
to
send
the
example
two
pieces
of
information
for
each
of
their
students,
subjects
based
on
what
they
know,
the
people's
work
and
achievements.
N
They
will
send
the
assessment
centre
the
grade.
They
believe
the
people
most
likely
to
get
if
the
learning
teaching
and
exams
have
all
taken
place
as
usual
and
for
each
subject
a
list
of
students
in
the
school
taking
that
subject
listed
by
grade
and
performance
in
order,
so
schools
aren't
required
to
use
or
set
any
additional
work.
N
Now
for
this
grade,
it
will
only
take
into
account
progress
made
before
schools
closed,
so
potentially
not
to
disadvantage
students
who
have
had
a
more
difficult
lockdown
experience,
and
this
should
mean
that
results
can
be
standardized
and
that
people
shouldn't
suffer
if
any
individual
school
is
more
generous
or
harsh.
When
making
those
judgments,
this,
hopefully
will
mean
that
the
final
grades
well,
this
may
mean
that
the
final
grades
are
may
differ
slightly
to
ones
the
school
send
in.
N
Although
young
people
shouldn't
be
seeing
the
ones
that
the
schools
have
submitted,
those
should
remain
confidential
and
then
those
grades
received
this
summer
will
look
the
same
as
previous
years.
We'll
have
the
equal
status
for
universities,
colleges,
employers,
but
I
think
it's
worth
taking
that
into
account
for
when
we
come
to
next
year's
annual
standards
report,
because
we
don't,
we
don't
really
know
yet
how
that's
going
to
land.
Just
before
I
finish,
I
do
think
it's
also
worth
highlighting
and
actually
welcoming
the
recent
guidance
from
government
on
off-roading.
N
N
So
I
understand
this
guidance
will
be
coming
to
all
schools
and
expressly
asking
partners
to
continue
to
reinforce
the
message
of
quite
how
inappropriate
and
actually
damaging
to
young
people
off
rolling
can
be
I'll
leave
it
there
now,
but
obviously
there's
a
huge
amount
of
data
so
I'll.
Take
any
questions.
G
Yes,
chad,
just
one
that
was
a
very
thorough
resume.
I
wanted
a
better
word
and,
unlike
councillor
prior,
I
welcome
the
new
guidance
from
government
on
very
important
issues
that
we've
affected
young
people
more
dramatically
than
perhaps
we
might
know
post
coving.
G
I
want
to
acquire
ask
a
question
on
the
uptake
of
children
and
is
it
from
two
onwards.
Provision
which
I
understand
nationally
is
extremely
high,
but
in
leeds
is
not
so
high
down
at
66.
67
percent.
G
Are
there
particular
reasons
for
that,
and
if
there
are,
what
are
we
doing
to
try
and
get
over
those
obstacles
because
it
just
seemed
to
be
it's
quite
a
massive
disparity.
A
Council
banner,
are
you
able
to
pick
this
up?
I.
G
Written
a
written
response
would
do
it's
quite
complicated
chair,
but
the
the
the
discrepancy
between
nationally,
which
is
in
the
90
and
leads
at
the
60
67,
is
huge,
and
so
I
would
prefer
really
a
written
response.
So
I
can
get
the
thing
in
proper
context.
M
I
can
respond,
I
can
make
some
initial
comments
and
then
sal
might
want
to
come
in
and
also
of
course,
we
can
provide
a
more
detailed
written
response.
This
was
picked
up
when
we
had
the
earlier
peer
review.
Last
summer
we
looked
at
our
early
years
outcomes
and
those
other
core
cities,
and
we
had
some
contact
with
newcastle
because
they
have
ex.
M
I
think
they
have
almost
100
uptake
of
two-year-old
places
and,
as
you've
said,
council
of
carter,
we
have
in
the
60s,
so
we
have
actually
started
using
methods
that
they
use
to
attract
parents,
particularly
first
to
two-year-old
places.
We
had
quite
a
dry
letter
that
would
go
out
previously,
whereas
they
have
much
more
interesting
ways
of
getting
new
parents
in
they
have
like
a
golden
ticket
scheme
where
they
send
it
out,
making
it
look
like
a
much
more
attractive
offer,
and
then
we've
got
the
3a
strategy
as
well,
which
feeds
into
that.
M
But
I
don't
know
if
sal
wants
to
add
anything,
but
then
we
would
be
happy
to
get
a
more
detailed
response
of
what
we're
doing
to
increase
two-year-old
places,
though
of
course
some
of
this
has
been
disrupted
by
the
pandemic.
D
It's
so
just
to
add
that
I'm
happy
to
provide
a
detailed
written
response.
We
have
been
working
on
targeting
those
eligible,
but
not
taking
the
two
year
off
to
your
both
in
ways
that
counselor
ben
has
described,
but
also
some
quite
pragmatic
and
practical
examples
of
how
families
who
aren't
taking
up
their
free
entitlement.
D
So
I
I'm
happy
to
write
to
you
on
that
basis,
but
just
to
assure
you
that
it
is
a
detailed
part
of
the
plans
that
we've
got
around
this.
A
Can
I
can
I
just
say
that
it's
important
on
this
sort
of
issue
that
we
compare
ourselves
with
our
peers
and
that
we,
you
know
it
that
we're
comparing
light
with
light,
but
can
I
give
you
some
personal
feedback?
A
The
the
golden
ticket
idea
has
gone
down
incredibly
well,
and
providers
are
very
depressed
and
they've
had
families
coming
in
holding
the
golden
ticket,
and
it
really
has,
I
think,
made
a
real
difference
actually,
and
it
is
that
really
that
real,
positive
and
personal
engagement
with
families
that,
I
think
is
exactly
the
approach
that
we
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
really
do
reach
the
the
really
most
vulnerable
families
as
well,
and
I
think
there
there
are
issues
on
there
in
terms
of
it.
A
You
know
been
quite
a
step
for
two-year-olds
from
some
communities
to
to
go
into
more
formal
settings,
which,
I
think
is
all
part
of
the
understand.
This
isn't
a
new
phenomenon
by
any
means.
It's
one.
That's
been
going
gone
back
for
quite
some
time,
so
thank
you
for
different
approaches
for
a
very
difficult
area.
M
Yes,
in
the
peer
review,
we
did
compare
ourselves
to
other
core
cities
and
that
approach
was
taken
from
newcastle
and
I
wasn't
sure
it
would
work.
Actually
it
just
sounded
like
a
bit
gimmicky,
but
actually
it
has.
It
has
had
a
really
fantastic
uptick.
I
think
what
we
sent
out
before
was
a
dry
boring.
M
I
didn't
make
it
sound
that
great
taking
up
your
two-year-old
offer
and
actually
to
present
it
something
you're
incredibly
lucky
to
have
that's
this
amazing
golden
opportunity
has
actually
really
worked
and,
and
newcastle
do
have
almost
100
attendance
using
that
approach.
100
take
up
at
2
years
old,
so
hopefully
we'll
get
our
figures
up
there
as
well.
Thank
you.
H
Thanks
chair:
well,
I
I
wish
you
every
look
as
well
in
terms
of
getting
your
numbers
up
as
well.
I
have
to
say
I
heard
about
the
golden
ticket
and
I
just
cringed
a
little
bit,
because
I
thought
it
was
just
well
another
pr
response
to
something
which
is
pretty
serious
and
ingrained,
but
if
it
works,
it
works,
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
the
statistics
that
show
that
that
intervention
has
has
got
more
kids
into
early
years
provision
the
issue
around
comparison
with
others.
It
is.
H
It
seems
that
our
improvement
is
predicated
on
the
national
average
going
down,
so
we've
had
a
little
bit
of
a
windfall
there.
H
H
Also,
of
course,
in
the
background
due
to
covid
a
lot
of
our
child
care
facilities
in
the
city,
whether
they
be
public
or
private,
are
under
extreme
pressure
and
they're.
One
of
the
few
parts
of
the
economy,
which
hasn't
seen
a
comprehensive
response
from
government,
and
I
just
wanted
to
know
what
the
council
is
hoping
to
do
to
support
those
organizations
to
to
maintain
the
services
that
they
offer
for
parents
for
children
at
the
very
earlier
stage
of
development,
which
is,
of
course,
the
most
important
for
their
lifetime
chances.
H
M
Yeah
I'd
like
to
come
back
on
the
issue
around
funding
for
early
years,
if
that's
okay,
leader
and
then
also
comments
about
income
generation
locally.
So
early
years,
funding
has
been
a
massive,
been
highlighted
during
this
crisis.
I
mean
first
of
all,
the
government
did
a
u-turn
several
weeks
into
the
crisis
where
they
changed
the
rules
about
what
early
years
providers
were
entitled
to.
After
everyone
had
done
all
their
financial
and
staffing
planning.
M
It
was
already
a
really
precarious
effect,
financially
and
nationally.
There
is
an
expectation
that
a
lot
of
providers
won't
reopen
and
will
have
a
significant
sufficiency
issue.
The
sectors
describe
themselves
as
the
forgotten
sector
guidance
for
opening
earlier
settings
to
more
children
from
the
first
of
june
came
out
eight
days
after
the
guidance
for
schools
and
they've
missed
out
on
all
funding
the
catch-up
funding.
M
That's
been
offered
to
schools,
post-16
education,
so
in
terms
of
what
we're
doing
locally
to
support
early
years,
I'm
having
regular
zoom
calls
with
senior
officers
from
the
directorate
with
early
years
providers
and
then,
in
addition
to
that,
there
are
weekly
broad
meetings
taking
place
one
for
child
minders.
One
for
group
settings
and
one
for
wrap
around
care
and
the
providers
have
fed
back
incredibly
positively
about
that.
M
They've
been
really
keen
to
have
those
meetings
and
they've
been
really
clear
that
they
don't
feel
neglected
locally
and
they
feel
very
supported,
and
we
don't
actually
anticipate
a
sufficiency
issue
locally.
We
have
been
able
to
provide
the
support
that
those
providers
there's
a
huge
amount
of
lobbying
going
on
nationally
about
early
years
funding.
The
sector
itself
is
doing
a
lot
councillor.
Blake
is
you
know
in
her
role
as
the
chair
of
the
lga's
board
for
children
and
families.
M
Tulip
sadiq
is
the
other
minister
and
the
children's
commissioner,
as
well
as
a
number
of
big
children's
charities
like
bernardo's
and
the
children's
society
in
terms
of
income
generation
of
our
own
children's
centers
earlier
a
little
owl
settings.
It's
really
interesting.
We
don't.
Actually
we
don't
actually
provide
those
settings
with
making
a
profit
as
the
as
the
purpose
of
doing
that
we
provide.
We
pay
our
staff
a
living
wage,
there's
a
good
career
structure
and
the
focus
is
very
much
about
about
providing
high
quality
child
care,
primarily
in
the
most
deprived
areas.
M
Our
early
year,
our
little
owl
settings
came
out
of
the
short
start
program,
so
by
definition
they're
in
the
most
deprived
areas
of
the
city.
So
you
don't
have
in
many
of
them
lots
of
fee
paying
parents
and
that's
absolutely
right-
that's
absolutely
what
we
would
want
to
do
and
where
we
would
want
to
provide
excellent
early
years
provision.
M
This
is
a
really
big
issue
coming
out
of
of
the
pandemical
coming
out
of
the
first
stage
of
it,
because
we
really
need
a
thriving
early
years
sector.
We
need
it
for
children's
development
and
for
their
readiness
for
learning,
but
we
also
need
it
as
a
key
plank
of
the
economy
and
it
will
particularly
affect
women
trying
to
continue
working
if
we
don't
have
really
good
early
years
provision
and
we
don't
have
adequately
funded
early
years.
D
Just
to
say
that
you
know,
I
appreciate
councillor
galton's
point
around
where
we
are
ranked,
particularly
in
relation
to
the
gld
schools-
I
I
presume
you're
referring
to
now,
and
that
has
slightly
improved
this
year,
but
it
also
predates
these
results
pre-date
our
three-year
strategy
in
our
early
years
plan
that
we've
got
in
place
at
the
moment.
D
If
you
look
at
the
elg
scars
the
early
learning
goals,
that's
measured
across
17
different
indicators,
and
there
are
in
some
of
those
measures
we
do
really
well
in
needs
com,
and
in
some
of
them
we
do
fairly
poorly
and
the
ones
that
we
don't
perform
as
well,
in
tend
to
be
around
literacy
and
numeracy,
and
that's
why
we've
had
more
of
a
focus
on
those
issues
over
the
over
the
last
year
or
18
months.
D
So
our
strategy
around
leads
a
year
of
reading
and
the
work
that
we've
done
with
the
book.
Trust
is
entirely
about
getting
children,
young
people,
families,
communities,
reading
much
better.
D
I
guess
some
of
the
challenges
in
some
of
our
communities
are
about
the
level
of
disadvantage
that
those
communities
face,
but
also
the
fact
that
many
of
those
communities
are
the
population
is
growing
and
many
of
those
children
have
english
as
an
additional
language
and
what
we
do
see
reflected
in
the
annual
standard
report,
I
think,
is
that
whilst
there
are
those
gaps
there
and
we,
we
will
continue
to
work
tirelessly
to
improve
them.
D
Actually,
when
you
go
through
then
go
through
the
key
stages
through
to
key
stage
four,
we
see,
as
councilor
pryor
pointed
out
quite
a
significant
amount
of
catch
up
on
progress,
so
that
we
are
much
more
in
line
with
national
and
certainly
better
than
many
of
the
core
cities.
I
think
we
will
continue
to
concentrate
on
that
early
years,
part
of
the
world,
because
actually,
if
we
can
improve
that
further
and
children
make
the
same
sort
of
progress
through
the
other
key
stages,
then
we'll
see
quite
significant
improvement.
A
Okay,
I
think
we're
touching
also
on
a
massive
area
of
debate
about
appropriate
measurements
of
children
at
that
keyhole,
that
in
that
area
as
well,
aren't
we
it's
it's
always
a
very
interesting
area
of
discussion
and
debate
from
the
professionals
working
with
very
young
children
and
how
how
best
to
make
sure
they're
ready
to
move
forward
to
learn
when
they
go
on
into
school
and
beyond
any
further
comments
consciousness
crossed
over
both
portfolios
and
council
prayer.
Do
you
want
to
come
back
just
to
finish
off
the
report.
N
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So,
with
those
final
comments,
can
we
agree
the
recommendations
of
the
final
report,
and
that
brings
the
public
part
of
our
meeting
to
a
close.
So
can
I
just
ask
that
everyone
does
take
seriously
the
need
to
take
something
of
a
break
over
the
next
few
weeks.
A
Over
the
summer
it
has
been
an
incredibly
intense
period
for
everyone
going
forward
and
we're
going
to
have
to
be
make
sure
that
we're
fully
charged
recharged
by
the
autumn
to
really
pick
up
the
the
ongoing
and
major
issues
that
are
facing
us
all
and
again,
thanks
to
everyone
for
the
work
that
you've
been
doing
over
the
last
three
to
four
months
of
unprecedented
nature.
A
We
have
to
actually
come
out
of
this
meeting
and
re-enter
the
the
private
part
of
the
meeting.
So
if
I
could
ask
you
all
to
do
that
I'll
see
you
in
a
moment
in
the
next
next
meeting.
Thank
you.
