We

that's
great
thanks
and
on
to
the
first
substantive
item
council
of
enemies,
item
six.
D
Thank
you
chair.
This
is
the
latest
update
on
thriving
the
child
poverty
strategy.
It's
a
report.
We
bring
every
six
months,
it's
slightly
out
of
sync,
so
the
la
the
last
report
I
only
brought
in
june,
but
that
was
delayed
from
april,
but
we're
back
in
the
cycle
with
exec
board
and
scrutiny.
So
the
next
report
will
be
in
april
next
year,
so
the
report
outlines
that
pre-pandemic
there
were
just
under
35
000
children
in
leeds
living
in
poverty,
which
was
23
compared
to
18.
D
The
report
outlines
the
fairly
catastrophic
situation
we're
in
now
in
the
autumn,
with
the
20
pound
uplift
on
universal
credit,
ending
at
the
same
time
as
furlough
and
covered
self-isolation
grants
and
the
increase
in
fuel
payments
and
also,
of
course,
people
being
aware.
They've
got
an
additional
ni
levy
from
april.
D
We
do,
of
course,
now
have
the
new
support
grant,
but
it's
widely
seen
by
people
working
in
the
area
of
poverty
and
child
poverty
is
vastly
inadequate.
The
joseph
rowntree
foundation
calculated
that
if
it
was
divided
between
every
family
who've
had
the
20
pounds
removed,
they
would
get
precisely
1
pound
75
each.
D
D
We
have
added
a
new
work
stream
since
covid
as
a
as
a
direct
result
of
covid,
which
is
about
access
to
green
space,
because
it
was
very,
very
much
highlighted
during
the
pandemic
and
during
lockdowns
that
children
had
inequitable
access
to
green
space
and
that
some
of
the
children
living
in
the
areas
of
highest
deprivation
have
the
least
access
to
green
space,
such
as
no
gardens
and
not
being
near
a
park.
D
As
I
say
every
time
I
present
this
report,
we
do
not,
as
a
local
authority,
control
the
levers
to
lift
people
out
of
poverty,
which
is
a
great
frustration
most
of
those
rest
with
central
government.
However,
we
do
have
a
moral
responsibility
to
mitigate
the
impact
of
child
poverty,
and
this
report
is
our
latest
summary
of
how
we're
doing
that.
Thank
you,
chair.
E
Yeah
a
couple
of
points:
there
are
two
case
two
case
to
the
examples
of
outcomes.
Both
both
are
positive
in
terms
of
housing.
You've
touched
on
housing
just
now,
but
to
link
this
with
the
seven
million
pounds
that
we've
been
given
to
help
people
with
code
pressures
over
the
next
few
months.
E
E
There
are
examples
I
think
throughout
leads
of
different
in
some
areas,
greater
than
others
absolutely,
but
that
indicates
that
this
funding
support
should
be
available
on
citywide
basis,
and
I
hope
that
that
I
can
have
some
reassurance
here
today.
That's
that's
going
to
be
the
case
also
the
case
studies
that
you
highlighted,
which
was
actually
success
stories
in
terms
of
housing.
E
It
makes
you
think
that
there
is.
There
is
an
issue
here
that
may
be
much
more
widespread
and
I'd
like
to
know
what
we're
doing
to
ensure
that
we
don't.
However,
positive
two
case
studies
are
that
have
been
resolved.
It
leaves
the
question
in
your
head.
What
about
the
ones
that
we
haven't
touched
where
the
issue
is
very
much
with
us
and
not
with
universal
credit,
because
the
people
simply
weren't
weren't
getting
it
who
would
have
got
it?
That's
the
whole
point,
so
I'd
like
some
reassurance
on
that.
Please.
D
So
selective
licensing
is
a
really
important
project
to
address
that
and
we
still
have
the
income
maximization
project
within
the
housing
workstream,
which
is
about
making
sure
that
people
are
receiving
the
maximum
amount
of
benefits.
They're
entitled
to,
and
various
iterations
of
this
report
have
identified
how
many
thousands
of
pounds
families
have
have
gained,
which
weren't
previously
accessing
that
money.
So
we
still
have
those
projects
on
an
ongoing
basis,
but
someone
might
have
better
detail
on
me
on
how
the
code,
the
latest
iteration
of
the
grants
going
to
be
used.
F
So
the
fund
this
time
has
come
with
some
quite
quite
tight
criteria
around
it,
so
we're
working
through
those.
At
the
moment,
a
fairly
substantial
proportion
is
aimed
at
actually
providing
for
free
school
meals
during
holiday
periods
and
obviously
that
will
apply
across
right
across
the
city.
I
think
we
should
be
in
a
position
with
by
the
end
of
next
week
to
have
poured
it
all
together
about
where
it
will
apply
and
we'll
obviously
be
sharing
that
with.
F
Yes,
thanks
chair,
I,
I
did
have
a
nice
long
briefing
with
children's
services
on
this,
so
I
won't
spend
too
much
time
on
this.
The
we're
very
good
at
measuring
things
in
this
city
and
our
statistical
publishing
is
significant
and
impressive.
F
F
What
concerns
me
is
actually
allied
to
a
point
that
councillor
then
erased,
which
was
that
the
universal
credit
reduction
is
going
to
mean
that
there's
a
much
wider
impact
citywide
on
many
more
families,
some
of
which
are
going
to
experience
what
poverty
means
for
the
first
time
in
in
much
of
their
lifetime
and
it-
and
it
also
refers
to
what
council
veteran
mentioned
about
this
council-
doesn't
control
the
levers
to
lift
people
out
of
poverty.
F
But
I'm
not
sure.
I
completely
agree
with
that,
because
there
are
some
families
in
this
city
which
have
had
consistent
support
from
leed
city
council
over
several
generations,
and
one
of
the
things
that,
hopefully,
we
can
hope
to
demonstrate
as
a
locally
accountable,
politically
accountable
organization,
is
that
we
can
show
impact
from
the
consistency
of
the
services
that
we
offer
up.
F
F
Focus
over
recent
years,
as
we've
looked
at
the
challenges
around
children's
care,
now
that
some
of
those
challenges
are
being
addressed
through
infrastructural
investment
like
new
children's
homes,
there
is
the
opportunity,
perhaps
to
refocus
on
children's
centers
and
enable
them
to
reach
those
families
which
aren't
reached
by
that
very
easy
relationship
that
we
can
have
with
our
own
council
housing
officers,
and
we
might
reach
much
more
of
those
families
more
effectively
and
consistently
through
children's
centers
that
are
in
private,
rented
accommodation
that
are
feeling
the
pinch
even
more
because
they
don't
have
that
level
of
support
from
council
housing
staff.
A
Thank
you,
council
golden
who
wants
to
go
first,
I
can
see
julie
and
councilman
council
venice.
Would
you
like
to
go
first,
please
yeah.
D
Thank
you
for
your
positive
feedback
on
about
our
data,
because
it's
usually
an
area
you're
you're
critical
on.
So
I'm
glad
you
approve
of
the
data
in
this
report,
you're,
absolutely
right
that
the
impact
of
the
20-pound
uplift
being
removed
is
potentially
catastrophic
and
and
yes,
absolutely
will
push
more
families
into
poverty.
Joseph
raunchy
foundation
estimated
an
additional
200
000
families
nationally.
So
that
means
a
significant
number
of
families
and
leads
will
be
pushed
into
poverty
as
a
direct
result
of
that,
and
that's
why
there's
an
additional
appendix
with
this
paper?
D
That's
not
been
in
previous
iterations,
which
refers
to
the
specific
support
that
the
council's
got
in
place.
That
will
be
really
important
over
this
period.
I
mean
it's
a
reality
that
child
poverty
has
increased
over
the
last
10
years.
In
terms
of
your
comment
about,
we
don't
control
the
levers
to
lift
children
out
of
poverty.
Last
year,
the
children's
commissioner
made
a
really
unprecedented
political
intervention
as
a
non-political
role,
when
boris
johnson
tried
to
try
to
state
in
prominence's
questions
that
child
poverty
had
reduced
and
she
actually
came
in
and
said,
that's
absolutely
inaccurate.
D
It's
it's
increased!
That
is
the
reality
that
we
need
really
significant
changes
at
a
national
level
to
reduce
child
poverty
has
happened
under
the
last
labour
administration.
D
There
is
evidence
in
the
report
of
schemes
which
have
been
successful
as
part
of
the
thriving
work
and
which
are
being
replicated
like
the
school
uniform
reuse
schemes,
for
example,
which
are
now
largely
across
the
city
and
have
a
really
positive
impact,
both
in
terms
of
the
climate
emergency,
as
well
as
as
well
as
saving
families,
a
significant
amount
of
money.
I
thought
it
was
a
really
interesting
suggestion
about
children's
centers
and
I'd
be
really
happy
to
include
their
work
in
a
future
report.
D
They're
not
profiled
in
this
report,
but
they're,
absolutely
not
in
any
way
marginalized,
they're,
still
a
really
significant
part
of
our
offer
as
the
directorate,
and
now
that
we're
allowed
out
and
about
again
and
I
get
to
actually
hang
out
with
children
again,
I
have
been
visiting
children's
centers
across
the
city.
I've
been
to
a
lot
now
and
I've
been
to
outer
wards
as
well
as
inner
city
children's
centers,
and
it's
absolutely
the
case
that
they
are
all,
including
in
the
outer
areas,
working
doing
really
significant
work
with
poverty.
D
I
mean
it's
really
harrowing.
Some
of
the
stories
that
I've
heard
particularly
I
went
to
I
went
to
one
in
city
and
riverside
ward
and
the
stories
they
were
telling
me
about
the
conditions
in
private
rented
housing
that
some
families
are
living
in
and
they're.
Just
the
level
of
deprivation
is,
is
horrifying
and
they're
doing
the
most
amazing
advocacy
work
and
the
most
fantastic
campaigning
work
and
supporting
families
to
access
what
they
need
to
survive.
C
Yeah
so
good
afternoon,
julia
longworth,
deputy
director
with
children
and
families-
and
I
suppose
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
councillor
bennett's
point
in
relation
to
children's
centers,
because
they
have
been
and
remain
at
the
heart
of
our
children,
young
people's
plan,
our
strategy
across
the
city.
They
were
really
at
the
forefront
of
our
coverage
response
so
that
local
level,
you
know
children
center
staff,
little
elves
daycare
that
stayed
open
throughout
really
they
know
their
families
and
other
children.
And
you
know
that
remains
the
case.
C
I
think
we
have
also
just
entered
into
a
new
initiative,
a
new
relationship
with
nesta,
and
that
is
really
reimagining
our
early
years.
So
again,
it's
continuing
to
have
that
focus
on
continuous
improvement
within
our
children's
centres
and
across
our
early
years
services
and
within
that
a
real
focus
on
the
andrew
lettison
review,
the
outcome
of
that
in
relation
to
the
development
of
family
and
community
hubs.
So
again,
there's
an
awful
lot
of
innovative
work
taking
place
within
our
children's
centers
and
we'd
be
very
happy
to
share
more
information
on
that
going
forward.
C
You
know
when
we're
hearing
when
we're
reading
about
you
know
a
child
who
has
had
a
new
book
and
they
can't
actually
remember
the
last
time
that
they
had
a
new
book
and
when
we're
hearing
about
children
who
have
received
activity
packs
who
describe
it
feeling
like
christmas,
you
know
when
we
hear
about
a
single
mom,
who
is
on
a
debt
management
plan
who
has
fled
domestic
violence
and
who
reports
that
in
ordinarily,
she
struggles
to
feed
herself
at
the
end
of
the
month,
but
with
the
food
boxes
that
were
provided
and
through
this
scheme.
C
The
fact
that
actually,
that
was
not
the
case
for
her,
and
so
I
absolutely
accept
the
point
about
evaluation.
But
I
think
it's
really
encouraging
when
we
hear
positive
direct
feedback
from
children
and
families
themselves.
E
Yes,
just
two
quick
points.
I
I
accept
largely
what
what's
been
said,
but
I
have
to
say
it's
a
bit
rich.
Really:
we've
just
had
the
the
inspection
report,
which
has
highlighted
a
number
of
serious
omissions.
Let's
say
not
failing,
let's
call
them
emissions
that
you're
now
going
to
rectify,
but
I
can
give
you
I'm
not
going
to
do,
but
I
I
am
prepared
to
give
you
in
writing.
Two
cases
really
harrowing
where
children's
services
have
failed,
the
mothers
completely.
E
So
you
know
it's
not
just
a
wonderfully
rosy
picture
and
if
you
had
a
better
inspection
report,
I
never
wouldn't
have
made
those
comments,
but
you
haven't
so
I
have
because
elected
members
should
all
know
of
cases
in
their
own
wars
that
they've
taken.
Quite
I'm
sorry
to
say,
children's
services
have
not
been
as
as
effective
as
he
should
have
been
and
and,
and
all
you've
done
is
refer
to
the
successes.
But
the
point
I
I
wanted
to
make
till
you
made.
E
Those
comments
was
on
page
27
and
I
agree
with
part
of
it,
but
I
think
as
a
bland
statement
it
it.
It
almost
provokes
some
comment
in
terms
of
what
exactly
it
is
we're
talking
about,
and
you
say:
poverty
can't
just
be
measured
in
terms
of
household
income,
you're
right
it
can't,
but
it
leads.
We
take
a
wider
consideration
alongside
the
statistics.
E
E
Otherwise
I
could
say
to
you-
and
I
will
say
to
you:
does
it
mean
that
the
kid
who
has
a
mobile
phone,
which
doesn't
happen
to
be
the
latest
and
top
of
the
range
and
four
of
his
neighbors,
who
live
in
the
same
sort
of
houses
on
the
same
sort
of
income
and
go
to
the
same
school
house
that
we
should
be
actually
intervening
to
to
use
a
phrase
level
that
up?
And
whilst
I
agree
with
what
you're
saying
to
put
it
in
a
sentence
like
a
paragraph
like
that?
E
D
I
mean
I
mean
we
could
expand
on
it.
It's
because
it
is
absolutely
the
case
that
poverty
is
relative
in
that
people
are
experiencing,
having
a
lot
less
people
around
them,
and
it's
interesting
that
you
use
the
example
of
a
mobile
phone,
because
actually
the
pandemic
has
hugely
demonstrated
differences
in
children's
experience
around
what
technology
they've
had
access
to.
That's
been
a
massive
thing,
and
it's
meant
that
children
are
in
such
different
places
now,
and
inequalities
have
been
magnified
by
who
had
access
to
what
tech
in
their
home
during
lockdowns,
for
example.
D
So
there's
plenty
more,
we
could
say
if
you
wanted
us
to
expand
that
paragraph
and
regarding
the
inspection,
I
just
would
remind
people
that
the
precise
wording
in
the
report
said
there
were
no
areas
of
serious
weakness.
I
said
in
full
council
and
in
scrutiny
and
in
the
press
that
we
completely
accept
the
recommendations
of
the
report
and
we
have
a
really
comprehensive
action
plan
to
get
back
to
where
we
would
want
to
be
when
we
have
a
full
inspection.
Thank
you.
A
If
there's
no
further
comments
on
this
paper,
I'll
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
22
and
I
take
it,
everybody
is
happy
with
those
recommendations.
So
we'll
move
on
to
item
seven,
please
counselor
harland.
G
Thank
you
chair.
It
seems
up
that
this
follows
the
item
referring
to
child
poverty
as
many
of
those
affected
from
our
new
and
emerging
communities.
G
This
is
the
fifth
annual
report
on
migration
to
the
exec
board
and
my
first
as
the
executive
lead
for
this
important
agenda
for
the
city.
As
a
former
member,
I
know
that
councillor
anderson
and
his
scrutiny
board
keeper
watching
brief
on
this,
but
unfortunately
it
slipped
from
the
work
program
this
year.
However,
as
exec
board
member,
I
am
keen
that
this
should
be
on
any
future
work
program.
Should
the
relative
chair
next
year
agree?
G
As
you
are
all
aware,
we
are
seeing
how
quickly
the
migration
agenda
is
changing
at
a
global
level
and
impacting
on
the
uk,
nationally,
regionally
and
locally
at
a
local
level.
We
continue
to
work
with
the
government
and
respond
to
guidance
as
a
compassionate
city.
Leeds
continues
to
be
open
and
welcoming
and
strives
to
protect
and
provide
support
to
those
people
who
are
most
vulnerable
through
partnership
working
with
public
and
third
sector
organizations.
G
G
It's
quite
a
long
report,
but
it
shows
the
depths
and
the
complexity
of
this
work.
Some
of
the
key
headlines
include
changes
to
immigration
policy,
including
hong
kong,
british,
national
overseas
afghans
and
the
new
immigration
plans
that
will
impact
on
asylum
seekers.
This
details
the
various
government
schemes
and
highlights
the
complex
complexities
of
immigration
status.
G
G
E
Yes,
you
made
the
point
about
communication
and
short
notice
things.
I
think
you
have
to
accept.
Let's
take
the
gunny
situation
that
was
completely
beyond
the
government's
control.
President
biden
for
good
or
worse,
pulled
the
rug
out
in
afghanistan,
precipitated
a
humanitarian
crisis
with
people
flooding
to
get
out
of
the
country
and
gave
the
uk
france
and
germany
no
notice
whatever.
E
So
you
know,
I
think
you
need
to
temper
the
lack
of
information
with
the
fact
that
sometimes
our
partners
take
precipitate
action
that
we
could
have
had
a
much
more
ordered,
ordered
migration
of
people
we
needed
to
protect
from
afghanistan
and
that's
entirely
the
fault
of
the
americans.
E
I
would
like
to
to
say,
however,
I
want
to
congratulate,
as
you
have
done,
our
team,
because
I
think
the
work
we've
done
with
the
short
notice
on
afghanistan
has
been
extremely
good,
and
I
have
a
particular
question
on
that
which
is
as
regards
afghani
migrants.
The
families
have
the
all.
E
The
children
who
have
come
to
leads
of
school
age
been
found
places
in
schools
and,
if
so,
you
don't
have
to
say
whereabouts,
but
if
so
I'd
like
to
know
whether
they
have
it,
they
haven't,
and
I
think
that's
really
the.
E
The
final
point
I
want
to
make
apart
from
one
which
is
what
we
haven't
got,
is
any
statistics
about
outward
migration,
not
real
statistics
not,
and
I
would
like
to
see
as
part
of
the
piece
of
work
you
take
forward
and
give
you
a
fair
warning,
you're
going
to
get
asked
this
anyway.
When
you
go
to
scrutiny
what
what
is
the
other
side
of
the
same
coin,
because
it
would
be
very
interesting
to
know
what
outward
migration
has
been,
who
what
demographic
it
has
and
from
what
countries.
A
C
Hello,
leela
young,
head
of
community
relations
and
cohesion
of
the
council.
We
are
currently
working
with
children's
services
in
the
schools,
admissions
team
to
get
all
of
the
children
school
places
in
local
schools.
That's
local
primary
schools
and
local
high
schools.
That's
currently
taking
place
at
the
moment.
F
Chair
a
couple
of
things
really,
and
it's
mostly
to
do
with
housing.
Now
I
believe,
when
I
had
my
briefing
that
you
might
have
been
misquoted
in
a
local
government
information
unit.
F
F
So
I
I
just
wonder
if
we
could
clarify
that
and
then
more
importantly
as
well,
to
look
at
how
we
identify
what
is
appropriate
housing.
So,
for
instance,
the
the
government
had
a
backlog
recently
and
they
were
housing.
F
Asylum
seekers
in
hotels
which
isn't
the
greatest
suitable
accommodation
for
them
and
they're
supposed
to
be
looking
at
providing
more
permanent
accommodation,
which
is
more
appropriate
within
communities,
and
we're
meant
to
be
accessing
accommodation
for
afghan
refugee
families
to
be
housed
within
the
community,
and
then
we're
also
going
to
get
a
paper
later
on
today,
which
talks
about
the
difficulty
when
people
are
displaced
within
the
city
in
terms
of
alternative
accommodation.
F
I'm
referring
to
the
sugar
hill
paper
and
also
the
council
itself
in
terms
of
its
housing.
Growth
strategy
has
relied
very
much
of
late
on
windfall
development
which
is
in
the
city
center
and
doesn't
provide
a
great
degree
of
affordable
accommodation.
F
So
I'm
I'm
just
wondering
how
this
strategy
is
being
taken
forward
in
terms
of
identifying
suitable
housing
which
is
readily
available
when
we
need.
C
Just
following
on
from
councillor
carter's
comments
because
of
the
rapid
evacuation
out
of
afghanistan
has
been
a
huge
volume
of
afghan
citizens.
Who've
arrived
in
the
uk,
the
council
gauntlet
is
right.
C
The
home
office
have
been
using
a
series
of
bridging
accommodation
across
the
country,
some
of
which
includes
hotels,
so
there's
a
bit
of
a
backlog
at
the
moment
in
terms
of
matching
people
in
hotels
to
accommodation
that
is
available
across
the
country,
leeds
as
a
city
and
as
a
council
have
made
a
pledge
that
we
will
accept
so
many
a
defined
amount
of
people
through
the
programme
and,
unfortunately,
while
that
backlog
is
in
place,
there
will
be
a
delay
in
people
accessing
permanent
accommodation
in
terms
of
accommodation
available.
C
We
do
work
closely
with
our
housing
colleagues
and
the
majority
of
housing
that
will
be
made
available
allowed
to
be
in
the
private
rented
sector
or
working
closely
with
them.
The
registered
social
landlord
sector
as
well,
so
that
much
we
were
having
those
conversations
with
migration,
yorkshire
for
our
strategic
migration
partnership
and
with
the
home
office
about
when
that
matching
pledges
to
accommodation
will
start
in
earnest.
Really,
I
think
that
answers
the
question.
A
Great,
if
there's
no
more
comments
on
this
paper,
I
will
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
75
and
obviously
note
the
comments
that
have
been
made
about
this
report
going
to
the
relevant
scrutiny
board,
and
I
see
everybody
is
happy
with
happy
with
those
recommendations
so
we'll
turn
to
item
8,
please
counselor
hayden.
H
Thank
you
chair,
so
my
first
paper
is
the
connecting
leads
transport
strategy
and
action
plan,
and
this
is
I'm
really
I'm
really
pleased
to
be
able
to
present
this
to
executive
board,
and
it
sets
out
our
vision
for
elites
to
be
a
city
where
you
don't
need
a
car,
and
I
was
born
in
the
middle
of
the
1970s
when
we
were
famous
for
being
the
motorway
city
of
the
of
the
north.
H
So
yeah,
it's
been
quite
a
turnaround
for
the
city
in
in
my
lifetime
anyway,
so
we
want
lee's
to
be
somewhere
where
everyone
has
an
affordable,
low-carbon,
healthy
and
accessible
choice
in
how
they
travel,
and
this
report
presents
the
connecting
lead
to
transport
strategy
for
adoption
following
an
extensive
consultation
and
engagement
exercise
undertaken
starting
in
january
2021.
H
So
I
came
to
this
in
february
2021,
so
I'd
like
to
thank
councilman
herron
having
the
vision
to
start
this
and
take
this
forward,
and
it's
been
really
impressive.
The
consultation,
especially
if
you
remember
back
in
january
february,
when
we
were
in
complete,
lockdown
and
and
the
webinars
have
been
really
well
attended
and
watched,
then
later
on
youtube,
etc
and
officers
adapted
incredibly
quickly
to
doing
a
a
large
city
scale.
H
H
A
strategy
also
sets
out
the
overarching
challenges
and
opportunities
facing
leads
and
our
strategic
policy
and
infrastructure
measures
to
achieve
our
vision
and
we've
got
an
action
plan
until
2024,
and
it's
been
developed
with
specific
actions,
policy
and
infrastructure
that
we
are
going
to
develop
to
ensure
work
towards
the
overarching
objectives
of
tackling
climate
change,
delivering
inclusion,
growth
and
the
health
and
well-being
strategy
are
met,
and
you
will
all
you
will
all
be
seeing
some
of
those
infrastructures
already
taken
place,
particularly
love,
cockroach
street,
and
I'm
walking
down
there
to
get
the
bus
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
people
of
leeds
for
their
patience
with
the
ongoing
road
works,
which
will
see
con
exchange.
H
Take
its
pride
of
place
in
a
beautiful
public
realm
that
the
grade
one
status
of
that
beautiful
building
deserves
and
the
redevelopment
of
city
square
that
will
come
forward,
and
I
know
it's
really
really
annoying
when
your
bus
has
to
go
up
to
the
head
row
and
then
down
and
and
when
the
water
bursts,
and
so
what
watch
are
doing
when
there's
road
works
going
on.
H
So
I
really
want
to
thank
people
of
leeds
and
a
huge
thank
you
to
the
highways
and
connecting
leads
team
and
for
all
the
work.
I've
been
hugely
impressed
since
coming
into
this
portfolio
by
the
passion,
the
vision,
the
dedication
and
the
sheer
amount
of
hard
work
that
goes
in
from
everybody
in
the
team,
so
I
just
want
to
say
a
huge
thank
you
to
to
all
of
them
as
well.
Thank
you
I'll
leave
it.
There
check.
E
E
Now
I
have
to
tell
you
that
is
not
my
view
of
success
for
a
consultation
it.
My
view
is
that
people
haven't
taken
any
notice
of
some
of
the
implications
in
this
report
when
they
do
will
be
bouncing
off
the
ceiling,
for
example,
low
carbon
charge,
which
is
explicitly
referenced
with
the
quote.
We
may
need
to
consider
that's
code
for
road
bryson.
E
It's
not
within
the
proposals
in
these
reports,
but
it
is
mentioned
also
given.
I
just
think
you,
you
should
have
waited
perhaps
a
little
longer
before
this
game
before
us,
because
over
and
over
again,
not
least
in
the
leaders
forward,
is
hs2
mentioned
now.
We
all
know
that
we're
going
to
get
well
is
that's
exactly.
E
These
are
those
people
who
don't
want
it,
just
like
the
gentleman's
the
other
side
of
me,
and
there
are
all
sorts
of
implications
around
that
announcement,
which
may
or
may
not
be
greeted
with
pleasure
by
some
people,
but
it
just
seems
to
me
then,
without
we're
setting
up
a
strategy
which
you
know
is
not
going
to
be
achieved
in
the
time
scale
you
have
set.
No
doubt
you've
decided
who
you're
going
to
blame
for
that
already.
E
One
guess-
and
I
have
no
problem
with
the
vision
of
where
we
want
to
get
to
don't
have
a
problem
with
that.
But
I
have
a
problem
with
the
fact
we
have
the
national
government,
the
regional
mayor
and
the
city
council
having
three
different
targets
for
achieving
all
sorts,
so
we're
guaranteed
to
have
one
hell
of
a
model,
and
I
I
I
just
take
the
airport
right.
We've
made
no
decision.
E
Manchester's
airport
is,
what's
it
going
to
grow
by
brought
on
its
present
plans
from
26
million
to
51
million,
and
we
haven't
even
made
a
decision
on
getting
the
terminal
sorted
out.
I
just
I
just
think
that
wonderful
aspirations,
but
when
you
finish
up
with
three
different
plans
for
when
we
achieve
what
something
somewhere
is
doomed
to
have
to
give-
and
I
just
think
we
are
a
2024
target-
is
fine
for
certain
things
you
may
achieve
it,
but
you're
not
going
to
achieve
all
that's
in
this
plan
in
the
attack
out.
E
E
So
it's
time
for
some
straight
talking
and
let's
get
some
realism
into
this
and
as
regards
you
brought
it
up,
not
me
and
I
wasn't
going
to
the
current
hold-ups
I
mean
there
has
to
be,
and
I
feel
sorry
for
highways
engineers
at
the
moment.
I
do
really
because
there's
so
much
going
on
and
all
sorts
of
reasons
why,
but
my
god
it
is
one
heck
of
a
mess,
and
it
isn't
just
in
the
city
center
that
you
alluded
to
over
and
over
again
it's
in
most
of
the
outer
areas
as
well
and
they're.
E
A
Thank
you,
councilor
carter.
I
think
it's
worth
reflecting
the
airport
decision
isn't
with
us
it's
with
the
secretary
of
state
waiting
waiting
for
a
decision,
so
I
don't
think
we
can
be
responsible
for
the
secretary
of
state
and
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
you
know
the
government
is
100
behind
hs2
they've
released
a
very
detailed
group
planning
for
our
area
been
lots
of
speculation.
A
As
far
as
I'm
aware
at
this
point
in
time,
they
intend
to
deliver
the
route
that
was
set
out
by
the
conservative,
lib
dem
coalition
government
in
2013,
and
until
I
hear
otherwise
and
it'll
be
hugely
disappointing.
If
we
do
lose
out
on
a
lot
of
investment,
if
the
same
governing
party
makes
a
different
decision
to
the
one
that
they
did
when
they
launched
hs2,
you
know
that's
going
ahead
and
I
think
it's
right
there.
A
It
is
in
our
strategy
until
any
point
a
decision
is
it's
made,
so
I
think
I
just
wanted
to
make
those
two
points.
I
don't
know,
as
you
referred
to
my
I
don't
know,
council
hayden,
if
you
want
to
add
anything.
H
Yes,
please,
first
of
all,
I'm
not
gonna
apologize
for
being
ambitious.
That's
what
we
do
in
leeds.
That's
what
we've
always
done
in
leeds
we're
going
to
be
ambitious.
That's
why
we've
got
a
target
of
2030
when
other
places,
including
the
government,
have
got
20
50.
H
and
I
dread
to
think
what
the
the
globe
will
be
like
if
we
all
had
the
target
of
2050
in
mind,
so
I'm
not
going
to
apologize
for
you
being
ambitious
for
leads
and
for
the
people
of
leeds
and
in
tackling
the
climate
emergency,
particularly,
we
haven't,
got
any
longer
to
wait
to
bring
this
report.
We
need
to
do
it
now,
and
there
are
many
reasons
and
one
of
the
reasons
that
there's
so
much
going
on
as
you'll
be
quite
aware.
H
Council
carter
is
that
we're
given
very
very
short
time
frames
to
spend
that
money
in
the
city
centre
and
and
in
other
places,
and
so
we
have
to
crack
on-
and
I
just
want
to
thank
it's
not
a
mess.
I
want
to
thank.
I
want
to
thank
each
and
every
one
of
the
team
that
involved
in
and
who
do
take
abuse
from
people
when
they're
doing
their
job
and
they're
working
hard
and
they're
doing
it
under
quite
very
challenging
circumstances,
which
included
a
global
pandemic.
H
I'll
just
remind
you
of
so
in
terms
of
road
user
charging.
Obviously
something
that
the
government
might
introduce
that
that
has
to
be
dis
has
to
be
discussed.
There's
no
plans
as
yet
it's
not
a
as
part
of
our
strategy
and
and
we
as
we
just
await
and
as
far
as
we
know
on
hs2
that
is
happening,
and
the
government
has
spent
a
long
time
planning
that
and
and
we'll
we'll
see
whether
when
it
gets
delivered,
I
mean
councillor.
H
H
We
would
be
in
dereliction
of
our
duty
if
we
did
not
have
a
transport
strategy
for
elite
we're
working
very
very
closely
with
west
yorkshire
partners
and
with
other
west
yorkshire,
local
authorities,
and
particularly
with
the
mayor
and
yes,
they
do
have
different
targets
when
they
come
to
climate
change,
but
in
west
yorkshire
there
is
a
very
strong
feeling
around
the
fact
that
we
need
to
improve
our
transport
and
make
transport
accessible
to
people
affordable
and
give
them
a
low
that
they
have
a
low
carbon
option.
H
H
So
and
and
we
did
cut
and
your
children
were
consulted
as
well
so
and
it's,
but
the
fact
is
that
compared
to
past
consultations,
it
was
it
was
very
successful
and
given
the
challenges
around
that
consultation,
where
we
couldn't
get
out
to
community
committees
in
the
same
way,
we
couldn't
get
out
and
meet
the
public
and
connecting
leads
have
started
that
back
in
the
summer,
having
dropping
sessions
et
cetera,
where
it
was
safe
to
do
so
and
and
and
they
very
much
wanted
to
get
out
and
meet
the
public
as
well.
Thank
you.
E
I
think
you've
just
about
won
the
councillor
of
fake
awards
for
talking
nonsense.
Let's
go
back
to
the
beginning,
which
government
announced
hs2.
E
Coalition
announced
long
before
that,
and
it's
a
meeting
with
the
then
transport
minister,
lord
adonis,
I,
along
with
other
council
leaders,
were
summoned
to
be
told
known
certain
terms.
They
were
going
to
announce
hs2
and
it
was
going
to
go
from
to
birmingham
and
then
to
manchester
and
leeds
would
just
get
a
link
across
the
penins
and
afterwards
the
council
leaders
sat
around
and
they
clicked
when
he
cleared
off
to
wherever
he
goes
still.
E
I
the
the
council
leaders
sat
around
talking
about
it
and
one
labour
leader
of
our
own
name
turned
to
me
and
said:
you've
got
no
chance.
It's
already
decided
it's
going
to
manchester
end
of
story,
then
you're
quite
right.
The
coalition
government
announced
their
own
the
y
root.
So
let
if
you're
going
to
talk
about
the
history
of
things,
get
your
facts
right
first.
E
Secondly,
I
have
not
criticized
the
ambition
of
the
city
at
all,
but
I've
just
said
you
should
put
it
in
perspective
and
when
you
read
this
and
then
you
look
at
everything
else,
that's
going
on.
You
realize
that
to
be
very
unkind,
you
say
you
also.
You
want
to
write
a
paper
that
is
doomed
not
to
be
achieved
now,
I'm
sure
the
officers
have
worked
very
hard
on
this
and
don't
think
that
at
all,
but
that's
what's
going
to
happen
and
then
you're
going
to
say
you've
not
won.
E
A
A
F
Well,
considering
I
usually
get
a
load
of
rolled
eyes
whenever
I
mention
hs
to
executive
board.
I
I
I
want
to
put
a
stop
to
this
particular
discussion,
because
I
think
the
the
autopsy
that
we're
having
on
this
on
this
over
bloated
scheme
is
something
which
is
a
little
bit
precipitative
and
let's
wait
to
see
what
the
final
decision
looks
like
I'd,
rather
concentrate
on
what
we
can
control
locally,
and
I
disagree
with
councillor
carter
and
I
agree
with
councillor
hayden
in
that.
F
F
My
problem
with
it
is
about
its
deliverability
and
I
don't
think
it's
because
you
know
you
haven't,
got
the
money
and
you're
expecting
somebody
else
to
give
you
the
money
and
you're
going
to
pass
the
blame.
If
you
don't
get
it,
I'm
more
bothered
about
actually
how
the
entire
city
gets
involved
in
this,
because
it's
alright
having
a
transport
plan.
F
But
there's
no
point
if
it's
just
a
transport
plan
for
transport
planners
and
their
mates
to
discuss
and
all
of
the
examples
that
were
given
by
councillor
hayden
earlier
were
primarily
around
public
transport,
public
realm
improvements
in
leed
city
center,
and
that
was
a
result
of
an
economic
model
which
identified
leed
city
center
as
the
primary
economic
driver
for
the
region
of
mind
for
our
own
city.
However,
we've
had,
as
has
been
pointed
out,
a
covered
epidemic
since
then.
F
I'm
not
sure
this
report
actually
reflects
the
different
way
of
working
that
people
have
these
days,
the
greater
realization
that
homeworking
and
spending
most
of
your
nine
to
five
day
within
the
environment
within
which
you
live
as
opposed
to
somewhere
that
you
commute
to
is
just
as
important
these
days.
The
report
refers
to
15
minute
neighborhoods,
but
are
we
really
in
a
position
to
actually
do
any
work
on
understanding?
What
a
15-minute
neighborhood
looks
for
all
the
different
communities
that
are
in
our
city?
F
We
don't-
and
one
of
the
problems
we
have
at
the
moment,
is
that
our
highway
section
have
the
capacity
and
the
resources
to
deliver
a
very
high
level.
Strategic
document
like
this,
but
one
thing
that
they
don't
have,
is
the
ability
to
respond
to
the
needs
of
the
vast
majority
of
the
communities
of
this
city
and
their
own
transport
ambitions
for
their
own
neighborhoods.
F
I
would
really
like
to
have
seen
in
this
document
a
commitment
to,
for
instance,
thinking
shall
we
have
a
transport
plan
for
every
ward
in
this
city
so
that
everyone
at
least
thinks
that
they've
had
some
kind
of
contribution
to
the
overall
plan
that
we've
got
for
leads,
and
unfortunately,
the
transport
ski
team
that
we
have
don't
have
the
capacity
to
deliver
that
they
said
themselves.
They
are
overworked
with
working
on
schemes
in
leed
city
centre
and
delivering
the
expectations
from
planning
applications,
which
also
tend
to
be
delivered
in
the
city
centre.
F
We
really
need
to
get
a
fair
deal
for
those
communities
on
the
outskirts
of
the
city,
and
if
we
could
commit
to
delivering
a
transport
plan
for
each
ward,
it
would
make
a
huge
difference
to
achieving
some
of
those
areas
which
were
highlighted
in
the
plan
that
the
consultations
said
were
of
importance.
And
if
I
remember
rightly
because
I
I
haven't
got
my
code
in
my
ipad,
there
we
go,
they
were
talking
about
disability
access
and
what
else
were
they?
There
was
another
two,
oh
I'll,
get
there
eventually.
F
Oh
any
road,
all
of
those
issues
will
come
out
of
local
transport
planning
and
in
terms
of
the
consultation
itself,.
F
So
I
think
we
do
have
to
recognize
that,
even
when
we've
actually
got
people
to
the
platform
that
we
want
to
engage
with
them
in
terms
of
having
a
conversation
about
transport,
we
were
so
prescriptive
about
the
questions
that
we
wanted
to
ask
that
the
vast
majority
of
them
just
switched
off
immediately
and
left
the
site
without
actually
putting
any
kind
of
contribution
on
there.
We
really
do
need
to
think
about
having
real
conversations
and
not
just
online
transactions
with
the
people
that
we're
supposed
to
be
doing
this
public
investment
for.
H
Well,
they
did,
and
it
says
in
the
report
visit
all
the
community
committees
in
the
city
that
was
obviously
online
as
well
because
of
the
pandemic.
H
I
don't
know
about
you,
but
I've,
I've
clicked
on
things
and
been
very
interested
and
then
not
actually
taken
the
time
to
make
to
make
written
comments
on
something.
So
the
fact
that
nineteen
thousand
people
were
engaged,
you
know
actually
read
the
report
and
there's
all
kinds
of
data
to
say
how
much
they
read,
how
much
each
person
read
or
engaged
in
and
all
that
sort
of
thing
is
actually
really
really
positive,
and
maybe
they
were
all
like
really
happy
with
it.
H
So
as
for
being
ambitious,
we
have
criticism
that
we're
not
ambitious
enough
from
certain
sectors
that
would
like
to
see
us
go
far
further
in
especially
in
terms
of
tackling
the
climate
emergency.
H
Yes,
we're
all
elected
as
councillors
and
the
people
work
for
the
council
because
they
want
to
the
best
and
they
want
to
engage
with
the
people
of
leeds.
We
haven't
been
able
to
do
that
as
we
normally
would
do,
and
we
go
about
four
years.
Four
years,
council,
lewis
and
you'll
remember
to
the
transport
conversation
where
we
did
have
those
conversations
in
community
committees
in
a
room
talking
about
you
know,
bus
services
and
what
was
very
much
in
people's
local
communities.
H
It's
called
connecting
leeds,
it's
not
just
for
the
city
centre,
and
it's
and
in
here
we
talk
about
15,
minute
neighborhoods,
but
we're
talking
about
connecting
communities
to
each
other,
so
not
just
to
the
city
centre
and
connecting
people
within
that
community
as
well.
So
as
it
says
in
paragraph
72,
the
strategy
objectives
between
shortsight,
walk,
cycling
and
walking
are
the
first
choice
for
the
shortest
journeys.
H
But
you
want
it
to
be
cycling
and
walking
to
be
the
first
choice
in
those
short
journeys
and
we've
seen
the
strategy
and
the
psychopaths
connecting
up
to
to
castleford
from
from
the
the
outer
areas
and
of
of
leads
all
those
communities
and
we've
we've
seen
in
leeds
the
in
east,
leeds
the
trial
of
the
trail
of
the
flexi
bus,
which
is
not
a
bendy
bus,
which
you
know
my
dad
thought.
How
was
a
bendy
bus
going
to
get
up
night's
way?
But
it's
not
it's
a
mini
bus.
H
You
know
it's
very
difficult
to
get
from
even
from
if
you
live
in
east
end
park,
or
particularly,
if
you
live
near
me
in
coulson
or
holton
to
saint
james
is
hospital,
for
example,
and
you
can
book
on
this
bus
up
to
an
hour
before
your
journey
and
it
will
take
you
there
or
to
the
fabulous
park
at
temple.
H
Museum-
and
you
know
we're
seeing
a
really
great
uptake
with
that,
and
I
would
like
to
see
that
all
over
lead
with
you
know
people
being
able
to
connect
to
their
family
friends,
to
school,
to
health
services,
to
leisure
and
to
everything
that
this
fabulous
city
has
to
offer
I'll
leave
it
there
before
I
go
on
too
much.
Thank
you.
A
B
If
I
could
make
a
few
comments,
please,
firstly
thank
you
particularly
to
councillor
hayden
and
others
for
positive
comments
that
have
been
made
today,
particularly
about
the
efforts
of
the
team
in
challenging
circumstances.
That's
very
much
appreciated
and
I
will
paul-
and
I
will
certainly
pass
that
on
to
the
teams
involved-
consultation.
Some
comments
made
around
consultations.
B
I've
seen
these
type
of
consultations
before
at
at
this
local
level
and
also
at
west
yorkshire
level,
and
I
think
the
the
level
of
response
is
indicative
of
those
in
the
past,
probably
better,
certainly
given
the
circumstances,
but
perhaps
most
importantly,
that
the
outputs
and
outcomes
are
very
much
in
line
with
those
previous
consultations
as
well,
so
they're
very
much
telling
us
the
same
sorts
of
things,
which
is
reassuring,
but
it
is
very
much
the
case
that
we
want
to
carry
on
with
engagement
and
consultations
with
the
communities,
and
the
connecting
leads
brand
that
has
been
produced
in
recent
years
is
something
we
do
want
to
continue
using
the
commonplace
platform,
which
has
been
a
huge
benefit
in
terms
of
getting
our
our
consultations
out
and
getting
feedback,
and
indeed
that's
been
recognized
by
national
awards
that
we've
we've
received
on
the
back
of
that
and
other
authorities
contacting
us
to
ask
us
how
we
do
it.
B
I
think
it
was
councillor
galton
that
made
the
point
about
that.
This
is
not
a
document
for
highways
and
transportation
staff
and
their
friends,
and
I
I
absolutely
agree
with
that.
This
is
about
particularly
elements
of
vision,
zero
and
issues
like
that.
We
need
every
party
every
partner,
every
business,
every
resident
of
leeds
every
manufacturer,
just
everybody
playing
their
part
because
we're
not
going
to
achieve
what
we've
set
out
in
this
document
if
it
is
just
left
to
highways
and
transportation
policy.
B
Colleagues,
that
is
the
step
change
that
we're
looking
for
as
part
of
this
document
in
terms
of
the
sort
of
local
narrative.
Absolutely
this
is
a
strategy.
There
are
plenty
of
hooks
in
the
action
plan.
That's
attached
to
this,
where
we
want
to
do
more
in
the
localities
and
in
local
communities,
particularly
around
healthier
streets
and,
and
certainly
the
next
stage
through.
B
I
could
pick
up
on
other
points,
but
in
terms
of
the
the
works
that
are
ongoing
at
the
moment
that
we
we
do
about
or
we
we
facilitate
about
900
temporary
road
closures
a
year
and
and
25
000
street
openings
every
year.
It's
a
massive
amount
of
work
that
is
coordinated
across
the
city.
It's
not
just
our
work,
it's
developers,
utilities
and
the
emergency
work
that
has
to
take
place.
B
E
We
preface
this
by
saying
I
have
a
very
high
regard
for
our
highways
department
and
the
staff.
What
remains
of
them
my
complaint
really
is
that
there
is
insufficient
resource
and
bear
in
mind
most
of
these
capital
schemes.
You
should
have
costed
officer
time
to
them.
Therefore,
we
should
not
be
seeing
this
inability
to
get
anything
moving
at
more
than
a
snail's
pace
in
terms
of
well
all
areas
of
these,
but
particularly
outer
areas.
E
When
you
refer
to
step
change,
I
mean
that
presupposes,
of
course,
that
up
to
now,
we've
totally
ignored
all
the
people
that
you've
referred
to
the
businesses,
the
individuals
and
this
that
the
other,
if
it's
a
step
change,
but
it
wasn't
happening
before
so
before.
Today
we
were
ignoring
everybody,
and
really
people
may
well
feel
that's
the
case.
I
don't
necessarily
subscribe
to
that.
Let
me
say,
but
the
implication
is
quite
clear:.
E
E
Well,
you're,
not
getting
away
with
that
sorry,
and
we
come
back
to
the
the
issue
of
capacity
and
the
inability
of
the
department
now
to
tackle
issues,
and
let's
face
it,
you
have
just
communicated
with
all
members
of
the
council
virtually
apologizing
for
the
fact
that
you
and
you
are
overworked-
and
I
don't
feel
I
said
I
felt
sorry
for
the
pressure
that
your
staff
was
under
and-
and
I
am
but
at
the
end
of
the
day-
we're
under
huge
pressure
in
our
awards.
E
B
Yeah,
thank
you
for
your
comments
about
high
regard
to
the
highway
service.
I'll,
certainly
pass
that
on
council
carter.
Thank
you.
The
capacity
one
is
an
ongoing
issue
and
yes,
I've
just
written
to
all
the
the
councillors
about
the
level
of
work.
We've
we've
got
at
the
moment.
Some
of
the
programs
of
work
are
coming
to
an
end
and
that
will
see
a
shift
of
that
resource
into
areas
of
work
be
quite
right.
B
The
level
of
demand
outstrips
supply
and
it
is
about
prioritization,
and
those
will
be
conversations
that
I'll
have
with
our
executive
member
and
the
director
about
how
we
progress
from
here.
But
we
are
recruiting
and
we've
been
very
successful
as
a
service
in
terms
of
taking
on
apprenticeships
and
trainees,
and
we'll
continue
to
do
that.
The
step
change
point.
B
I
think
it's
what
the
point
is
trying
to
get
across
is
that
sometimes
it
feels
like
it's
trying
to
get
everybody
to
own
the
sort
of
policies
and
strategies
that
we
have,
rather
than
relying
on
a
service
coming
in
and
doing
a
particular
scheme
and
the
best
example
I
I
usually
give
is
around
safer
routes
to
school.
B
Where,
if
you
have
a
local
champion,
sometimes
like
a
head
teacher,
you
know
we
we
can
put
in
all
the
sort
of
comms
and
measures
you
liking
to
persuade
people
to
leave
their
cars
at
home.
But
when
you
have
a
local
champion
that
isn't
anything
to
do
with
highways
and
transportation
that
drives
that
local
enthusiasm
and
commitment
to
see
a
change
locally
and
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
get
at.
But
it
can't
be
down
to
the
service
and
the
number
of
people
that
we've
got
to
drive
that
completely.
B
A
Thank
you
gary.
I
don't
see
any
more
comments
on
this
paper,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
113,
I
see
everybody's
happy
with
oh
solaire
agreed
and
move
on
to
item
nine.
Please
councillor
hayden.
H
Thank
you
leader.
This
is
part
the
housing
estate
redevelopment
at
sugar
hill
close
and
wordsworth
thrive,
olton,
so
it
this
report
provides
details
on
how
the
council
is
responding
to
issues
arising
from
the
proposed
redevelopment
of
the
privately
owned
housing
estate,
sugar,
hill,
close
and
wordsworth
drive
in
both
of
them
in
alton.
H
The
history
of
sugar,
hill
and
wordsworth
drive
has
also
set
out
on
the
report,
and,
and
I
think
I
hope
that
the
report
does
reflect
the
awful
uncertainty
and
fear
that
the
tenants
have
and
are
still
experiencing
and
have
done
for
several
years.
H
I
have
yet
to
meet
in
person
and
the
the
tenants
in
sugar
hill,
and
I
look
forward
to
doing
so-
is
that
when
we
very
soon
when
we
meet
and
set
up
a
attendance
forum-
and
so
I'd
like
to
thank
councillors,
cooper
and
lewis
for
all
that
and
meeting
the
ten
tenants
over
the
over
the
years
and
and
council
and
during
the
pandemic
as
well,
when
it
was
very
difficult
to
meet
in
doors
when
we
weren't
allowed
to
meet
indoors
and
they
went
to
meet
tenants
and
gardens,
etc.
H
So
I'm
I'm
confident
that
we
have
a
plan
going
forward
for
very
good
reasons
that
is
confidential
at
the
moment
and
but
I'm
confident
it
will
see
an
increased
number
of
affordable
housing
above
anything
that
is
stated
in
in
planning
and
that
high
quality,
affordable
housing
will
be
in
this
in
this
site
and
we'll
do
everything
we
can
to
help
keep
this
community
together
over
there
over
the
long
term
I'll
leave
it
there
chair
and
taking
the
questions.
Thank
you.
E
E
I
I
think
the
council,
in
spelling
out
why
it
can't
intervene
with
those
properties
is
the
only
way
forward,
but
I
think
we
may
have
to
look
at
being
much
more
flexible
about
the
housing
opportunities
for
the
people
who
will
be
displaced.
I'd
like
to
hear
a
bit
more
about
about
that,
but
anyone
who's
been
here
for
a
lot
of
time.
At
all
knows
about
the
history
of
the
airy.
E
Houses
knows
that
there
was
a
lead
solution
provided
by
in
the
time
of
council
arthur
miller,
and
it
all
looked
very
good
and
from
the
outside.
It
doesn't
look
very
good,
but
it
was
essentially
only
an
external
cladding
of
a
problem
that
is
still
there
and
ultimately
will
come
back
to
haunt
us
in
other
forms.
E
But
to
stick
to
this,
I
just
want
to
hear
more
about
how
we
intend
to
help
the
individuals
who,
through
no
fault
of
their
own,
will
be
evicted
because
they
will
there's.
No,
you
can't
use
any
other
word
for
it
than
evicted
now.
E
A
Thank
you,
councillor,
carter,
gerard,
I
don't
come
into
that
point.
I
know.
Sadly,
we
as
a
count
as
you
referred
councillor
carter.
We
all
get
these
section.
31
no
fault
evictions
in
our
case
work
all
the
time
and
george
gerard
when
he
comes
in
with
update
executives
on
how
many
receive
a
year,
but
sadly
we're
experienced
in
dealing
with
section
31
rejections
in
the
council.
John.
Do
you
like
to
come
in?
Please.
I
I
Is
it
working
now?
Yes,
thank
you
just
in
terms
of
section
21
notices,
the
number
that
we
get
in
leads,
I
mean
over
the
pandemic
and
because
of
the
restrictions
on
being
able
to
evict
private
tenants,
we
didn't
get
as
many
of
the
previous
12
months.
We
got
just
over
700,
but
the
year
prior
to
that,
we've
got
just
over
a
thousand
customers
come
to
us,
and
I've
been
served
with
a
section
21
and
facing
eviction.
I
So
dealing
with
these
customers
castle
is
something
that
that
we're
very
used
to
in
terms
of
how
we're
looking
to
help
these.
Well,
we
we're
committed
to
work
with
the
housing
association
and
to
frame
a
local
election
policy
which
will
give
preference
to
the
people
that
displaced
from
that
stare
and
that
that
will
give
them
significant
chances
to
acquire
some
of
the
new
homes
because
they
won't
have
to
compete
against
other
people
in
the
area,
but
obviously
there's
the
period
between
them
losing
the
homes
and
then
getting
the
new
homes.
I
And
what
can
we
do
there?
Well,
we
we
committed
to
work
with
the
individuals,
assess
them,
give
them
the
relevant
information
in
terms
of
the
priority
or
potentially
direct,
let
status
on
our
waiting
list,
but
council
of
golton's
very
much
aware
there
isn't
too
much
availability
of
social
housing
stock
within
the
world.
I
Last
year
we
turned
over
about
108
units
and
I've
already
got
128
people
within
the
world
are
already
classes
banned
here
within
our
urgent
housing
need
group,
and
a
number
of
those
properties
won't
potentially
be
suitable
for
the
people
of
the
sugar
hill
estate
as
well.
They
might
not
be
the
right
size,
so
we'll
be
supporting
them
in
terms
of
linking
them
up
with
private
landlords
that
can
help
that
will
be
a
challenge
within
the
war,
particularly
when
you
look
at
the
local
housing
allowance
of
that
ward.
I
The
rent,
sorry
for
that
ward,
tends
to
be
more
than
the
local
housing
allowance
that
will
create
challenges
for
us,
but
we
do
on
on
average,
fine
people
homes
around
about
50
a
month
just
over
in
the
private
rented
team
that
we've
got
so
we're
confident.
We
can
work
with
the
individuals
and
find
them
somewhere
else
to
live
if
that's
needed.
While
the
work
for
the
new
homes
be
built
and
then
they
can
bid
for
those
through
the
local
weapons
policy
and
get
that
preference
that
I've
talked
about.
F
This
paper
will
be
a
real
disappointment
to
the
residents
that
live
on
that
estate
and
it's
primarily
because
there
is
such
a
missed
opportunity.
I
know
that
the
there
are
people
on
that
side
of
the
table
that
often
use
the
phrase.
Those
with
the
broader
shoulder
should
bear
the
greatest
burden
and
when
it
comes
to
the
delivery
of
affordable
housing
and
the
access
to
the
finance
to
deliver
housing
on
scale,
it
is
leed.
City
council,
which
is
the
primary
deliverer
of
that
in
this
city.
F
As
a
an
issue
of
people
and
their
needs
and
more
of
an
issue
of
an
asset
management
question,
because
the
primary
fault
in
terms
of
getting
the
solution
that
the
residents
want
is
because
this
council
has
decided
that
in
its
housing
growth
strategy,
that
it
would
prefer
to
have
new,
build
housing
on
purpose-built
estates
and
that
if
it
buys
back
council
housing
that
it's
the
housing
type
that
they
prefer,
even
though
this
particular
housing
type
is
already
within
the
council's
housing
portfolio.
F
And
that
is
the
key
issue
at
hand
here-
and
this
has
been
going
on
for
around
five
years.
And
if
the
council
had
actually
made
that
decision
and
said
it's
because
it's
the
wrong
kind
of
house.
I'm
sorry
to
you
as
residents.
But
it's
just
the
wrong
kind
of
house.
For
us.
They
could
have
at
least
perhaps
made
a
plan
to
deliver
enough
houses
of
the
variety
that
they
do
like
to
have
been
delivered
through
their
housing
growth
strategy.
F
F
It
actually
involves
them
being
starting
a
new
life
somewhere
else
for
the
next
two
years
before
it
becomes
convenient
enough
for
the
council
to
provide
them
with
an
affordable
home
in
the
format
in
which
the
council
prefers,
and
I
think
that's
a
real
indictment
in
terms
of
how
this
council
looks
at
the
theme
that
it
used
to
mention
all
the
time.
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
still
actually
there
for
the
council,
which
is
strong
economy,
compassionate
city,
because
the
compassion
element
in
this
paper
seems
to
be
a
little
amiss.
A
Thank
you,
council
golden.
I
was
hoping.
Obviously
you
will
not
be
supporting
40
brand
new,
affordable
houses
for
residents.
In
your
ward,
we'll
note
that
hoping
we
may
have
heard
what
you've
achieved
in
the
20
years
as
a
councillor
for
rothwell
ward,
to
help
with
the
community,
including
the
six
years
your
party
ran
the
council.
We've
not
heard
that.
A
So
we
will
note
will
note
those
comments
as
we
take
forward,
and
certainly
I
know
from
having
met
the
residents
that
this
isn't
the
response
that
they
want
and
they
will
be
disappointed
and
nobody,
I
think
from
our
administration
will
shy
away
from
that.
But
clearly
we
have
a
deliverable
plan
with
the
investment
available
for
brand
new,
affordable
houses
on
that
site,
and
I
think
that
is
a
compassionate
response
and
one
as
we
look
at
our
growth
of
affordable
housing
across
the
city
when
we
would
stand
by.
E
E
I'm
not
going
to
query
could
have
been
taken
a
great
deal
earlier
and
a
conclusion
could
have
been
reached
a
great
deal
earlier.
Nevertheless,
stick
to
what
I
said
previously,
I
was,
I
was
pleased
for
the
well.
No,
I
I
understand
the
reassurance
I
was
given.
Okay,
whether
it
goes
far
enough
is
another
matter.
E
E
We
have
known
for
quite
a
long
time,
and
you
know
we
could
have
been
thinking
about
making
some
sort
of
provision
that
would
that
would
help
them
in
particular,
and
ultimately,
the
city
in
term
and-
and
you
are
the
provider
of
rented
accommodation-
and
I
do
think
there's
some
merit
there
for
in
the
in
in
that
comment,
but
we
are
where
we
are
and
and
and
you've
come
to
a
recommendation
that
I
think
you
couldn't
do
avoid
it.
Quite
frankly,
whether
it
could
have
been
dealt
with
in
another
way
earlier,
the
answer
is
probably
yes.
E
It
could
indeed,
at
the
debate
we
had
about
this
in
the
council
chamber,
points
were
raised
about
how
issues
of
this
sort
could
be
dealt
with
in
the
future.
Maybe
should
have
been
dealt
with
in
this
case
and
we
go
back
to
the
thing
about
having
a
housing
company
and
a
vehicle
for
providing
housing
for
rent.
Now,
I
still
think
you've
dropped
your
feet
appallingly
in
that
respect
and
something
like
that
would
undoubtedly
have
addressed
the
problem.
We've
got
here
or
could
have
done,
but
simple
fact
is
it
can't
we?
E
We
have
to
reach
a
conclusion
and
it
it's
been
left
too
late
to
reach
any
other
conclusion.
I
appreciate
why
stewart
makes
the
comments
he
makes
leave
that
at
that,
but
I
think
given
where
we
are
now,
then
we
have
to
pass
this
paper,
but
I
would
would
urge
you
to
continue
to
look
at
anything.
We
can
do
to
mitigate
the
awful
situation
these
people
are
faced
with
it's
not
a
situation.
I'd
like
to
be
faced
with
basically
being
told.
E
Well,
you
know
you're
going
to
be
moved
out
of
the
place,
maybe
where
you've
been
born
and
off
you
go.
But
it's
not
really
acceptable
and
I
wonder
if
the
site
owners
understand
the
liability
and
responsibility
they
have
because
looking
at
some
of
the
points
that
were
raised
and
the
email
it
was
sent,
it
looks
to
have
been
an
element
of
the
ball
being
dropped
well
and
truly
here
and
the
the
owners
of
the
site
not
behaving
particularly
well.
I
have
to
say.
A
A
Can
can
speak
for
themselves?
You
know,
we've
all
seen
the
the
planning
process
and
again
recognized
planning
is
separate
from
housing
in
terms
of
the
policy
it's
effective
here
and
obviously
the
decision
by
a
government
appointed
inspector
to
overturn
the
council
decision
earlier
this
year.
I
don't
think
anybody
until
eviction
notices
arrived
through
people's
letterboxes
on
this
estate
in
july
there
was
no
indication
of
the
time
scales
that
the
site
owners
were
operating
to
them.
A
Quite
clearly,
we've
got
this
response
that
we
have
canceled
would
like
to
come
in.
Please.
J
Yeah
yeah,
if
I
can,
because
I'm
sure,
as
exec
board
members
know,
this
has
been
under
my
previous
portfolio
as
well,
and
I've
had
a
lot
of
involvement
in
this
in
this
issue,
and
I
would
just
like
to
point
out
that
a
lot
of
work
did
go
on
earlier
around
speaking
to
the
residents
of
sugar
hill
right
from
the
very
beginning,
when
we
first
were
made
aware
that
the
of
the
planning
application
that
the
landowners
wanted
to
put
in
and
of
our
housing
officers
went
out
knocked
on.
J
All
their
doors
spoke
to
the
tenants
that
wanted
to
speak
to
housing,
about
alternative
housing
options
and
an
availability
should
they
have
wanted
us.
Some
people
did
take
us
up
on
that.
You
know
and
we
were
able
to
to
assist
some
of
them
then,
and
that
offer
has
been
ongoing
throughout
the
time
that
we
have
been
dealing
with
this
issue.
J
You
know
I
I
have
to
say
that
you
know
the
the
residents
have
have
really
been
through
a
very
difficult
time
through
through,
through
all
of
the
the
process
that
they've
had
to
undergo.
So
the
planning
application,
the
the
appeal
and
that
and
then
the
the
eviction
notices
that
have
that
have
dropped
as
well.
You
know,
but
I
would
stand
behind
what
officers
of
this
council
and
indeed
executive
board
members
and
leaders
have
done.
J
You
know
to
try
and
assist
in
the
best
way
we
possibly
could
given.
This
was
a
private
private
land
with
a
private
owner
with
their
own
agenda
of
how
they
wanted
to
take
it
this
forward.
I
think
that
we've
got
pink
papers
to
discuss
later.
You
know
that
are
not
for
public
access
at
the
moment.
That
should
hopefully
give
some
relief
to
to
some
of
those
residents.
J
They
want
the
properties
to
be
refurbished
and
stay
how
they
are,
and
this
is
not
the
solution-
that's
going
to
deliver
that,
but
I'm
hoping
that
that
that
pink
paper,
when
it
does
become
public
knowledge,
will
give
those
residents
some
comfort
in
the
fact
that
we
have
been
you
know
behind
the
scenes
and
trying
to
get
a
solution
so
that
they
can
all
have
an
affordable
home
within
that
area.
A
A
Apologize
I'd
switch
microphones
there,
so
I'm
turning
to
the
recommendation
notice
that
one
of
the
recommendations
is
that
this
comes
back
to
executive
board.
I'm
turning
noted
council
golton's
comments.
I
don't
see
any
other
objections,
so
we've
agreed
those
recommendations
and
we'll
when
it
comes
back,
will
it
contain
more
faced
with
this?
A
Yes,
we
can
cover.
Yes,
we'll
cover
information
like
that.
Like
say,
as
you
know,
many
insurance
you
can
give
people
facing
a
section.
21
eviction
notice,
okay,
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
item,
which
is
item
10,
which
is
under
my
portfolio,
and
this
is
the
shaping
our
best
city
ambition
paper.
I'll,
give
a
very
brief
introduction
to
this
paper.
A
In
the
past,
we've
had
the
best
council
plan,
which
has
been
under
my
portfolio
for
the
last
five
years
and
an
excellent
piece
of
work
to
say
so
myself,
but
what
I
think
we
recognize
during
the
pandemic
is
actually
we
achieve
a
lot
in
this
city,
not
just
by
what
we
do
as
a
council
ourselves,
but
also
the
work
we've
done
with
partners.
That's
a
a
real,
that's
something
that
we've
learned,
and
so
this
paper
will
start
the
process
instead
of
having
the
best
council
plan
this
year.
A
We'll
have
a
best
city
ambition
and
it's
not
just
about
changing
the
word.
It
is
about
including
partners
and
the
rest
of
the
city
in
what
we
hope
to
achieve.
As
a
paper
sets
out,
we
need
to
there's
a
very
big
process
point
that
we
need
to
agree
to
change
our
budget
and
policy
framework,
and
this
paper
requests
that
and
clearly
the
initial
proposals
will
come
forward
in
for
what
the
contents
once
we've
got
the
process
sorted
out
today.
A
What
the
contents
of
our
ambition
with
our
partners
and
everybody
in
the
city
is
but,
like
I
say
this
is
just
setting
the
ball
rolling
today
and
I'll.
Ask
if
there's
any
comments
on
this
paper.
A
I
don't
say
council
golden,
please.
F
Thanks
chair,
as
I
mentioned
prior
to
the
meeting,
I
have
had
a
sustained
discussion
on
this
paper
and
for
me
I
I
can
sometimes
just
get
a
little
jaded
when
we
get
yet
another
high-level
strategic
document
which
talks
about
the
principles
in
which
we
take
decisions,
and
then
you
find
that
some
decisions
get
taken
that
just
ignore
much
of
those
principles
which
are
mentioned
in
strategic
documents,
but
for
this
particular
one.
F
But
at
least
it
was
something
that
we
could
look
at
and
think
that's
the
direction
we
want
to
go
in
and
that's
where
we
hope
to
have
the
creativity
of
the
city
focused
on
and
one
of
the
things
that
I'd
like
to
see
about
this
paper
in
the
future
is
at
the
moment
it
is
primarily
about
trying
to
concert
action
between
strategic
anchor
partners
in
the
city.
You
know
the
council,
the
nhs
and
the
universities,
the
usual
partners
that
we've
already
had.
F
But
I
think
more
importantly,
is
I
want
to
see
in
the
future
a
prescription
as
to
how
we
actually
involve
the
vast
majority
of
the
people
of
the
city
in
our
ambition
going
forward
and
that
they
are
actually
active
participants
within
it
and
that
that
takes
place
at
a
community
level
and
not
just
by
involvement
in
consultation
projects
and
so
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
Thank
you,
chair.
A
A
I
can't
remember
what
was
called,
but
it's
the
one
that
led
to
the
development
of
the
district
heating
scheme,
clearly
cave
as
a
clearly
gave
us
a
really
positive
outcome
where
we
could
sort
of
match
our
climate
ambitions,
infrastructure,
delivery,
housing
and
the
private
sector,
so
that
I
would
I
would
give
as
a
from
the
breakthrough
project
days
as
a
as
a
good
example
of
of
of
the
kind
of
delivery.
One
and-
and
you
know
like
I
say
I
think
you
had
some
very
within
there-
were
some
constructive
comments.
A
This
is
very
much
started
this
very
much
a
process
about
how
we
started
and
I
think
some
of
the
things
we
can
pick
up
as
we
develop
moving
forwards
like
to
come
in
council
cars
yeah.
Yes,.
E
E
Seemed
to
be
saying:
well,
this
best
council
plan
before
haven't
really
worked,
and
it
was
very
much
top
down
and
very
belatedly
you're,
now
setting
out
a
plan
which,
if
you
stick
to
it,
may
have
a
lot
more
buy-in
and
a
lot
more
people
prepared
to
actually
engage
with
the
council
and
deliver
on
people's
priorities
and
not
the
council.
As
I
said,
council
vanities
and
I'll
leave
it
at
that
and
we'll
see
how
you
progress
this
and
we
shall
watch
it
very
closely
and
not
for
the
first
time
today,
which
is
quite
unusual.
E
I
agree
with
councillor
galton
and
so
you'll
be
judged
by
the
level
of
engagement,
not
only
with
the
general
public
in
all
areas
of
this
city,
but
by,
I
think,
councils
of
all
parties,
because
we
all
know
over
the
last
few
years
we've
had
a
growing
number
of
concerns
and
complaints
about
exactly
who
we
were
supposed
to
be
serving,
and
it's
certainly
not
ourselves,
and
I
hope
that
this
is
the
start
of
a
completely
new
strategy
and
and
then
we're
closer
to
that
and
say
it's
quite
obvious.
E
What
it
is
it's
owning
up
to
failures
over
the
past
five
six
seven
years,
and
that
doesn't
mean
to
say
there
weren't
some
some
successes
because
there
were,
but
it
is
that
that's
exactly
what
it
is.
It's
a
redirectioning
of
where
the
council
should
be
going,
and
at
the
moment
it
looks
as
though
we
might
all
be
able
to
get
on
board
and
support
a
lot
of
what
we're
trying
to
achieve.
A
Again,
a
bit
like
council
galton,
I
think
there
was
some
helpful
comments
in
there
and
some
and
some
less
helpful
some
some,
you
know
less
helpful
comments
as
well.
I
do
think
we
can't-
and
I
wouldn't
want
to
ignore
that
the
way
we've
worked
as
an
organization
with
others
in
the
city
and
with
people
in
the
city
has
changed
dramatically
over
the
last
18
years,
18
months
or
whatnot.
Since
the.
A
Since
the
first
lockdown
was
in
the
first
lockdown
was
introduced,
and
I
think
if
we
didn't
reflect
that
in
the
way
we
moved
forward,
I
think
would
be
a
miss
and
and
that's
what
this
strategy
is
about.
It's
not
saying
that
things
are
done
wrong.
It's
just
that.
We've
had
such
a
dramatic
set
of
events
that
things
have
changed.
We
do
need
to
do
that,
so
I
will
take
that
as
a
constructive
endorsement.
Counselor
carter,
I'm
gonna
before
we
all
fall
out,
I'm
gonna
turn
to
the
I'm.
A
I'm
gonna
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
439,
which
I
think
everybody
has
everybody
has
agreed
with,
and
we'll
move
on
to
your
papers.
Council
cooper,
please.
J
Yes,
thank
you
leader.
My
first
paper
is
the
gambling
act.
2005
statement
of
licensing
policy
executive
board
members
will
recall
this
from
our
last
executive
board,
where
the
report
came
forward
on
the
findings
of
the
consultation
around
reviewing
this
policy.
J
The
policy
has
to
be
reviewed
every
three
years
and
it's
now
been
back
to
scrutiny
board
with
no
further
comments
for
us
executive
board
at
this
point
of
time,
and
we
are
now
asked
to
approve
it
the
next
stage
it
will
go
to
full
council
for
adoption
at
the
full
council
I'll
leave
it
there
chair.
E
One
particular
issue
which
I
want
to
raise
and
get
some
reassurance
on.
Apparently,
a
gambling
commission
compliance
assessment
way
back
in
2019
revealed.
E
That
an
organization
has
failed
to
effectively
implement
its
anti-laundering
and
safer
gambling
policies
and
that
they
went
on
then
to
find
a
particular
company
he's
going
on
half
a
million
quid.
The
council
only
found
out
through
a
press
release.
E
I
think
the
licensing
committee
needs
to
investigate,
if
necessary,
in
camera
as
a
matter
of
some
urgency
and
make
sure
that
we
are
that
our
licensing
committee
and
our
compliance
regime
are
fully
aware
of
any
incidents
like
this,
and
if
it
means
us
taking
it
up
directly
with
the
gambling
commission,
then
we
should
am.
I
am
I
correct
in
what
I
have
just
said.
J
J
you're,
quite
correct
in
that.
I
think
that
it's,
it's
notable
that
that
we
weren't
alerted
to
it
by
either
the
company
themselves
or
the
gambling
commission
and-
and
I
think
that
you
know,
I
have
already
taken
steps
to
ensure
that
conversations
and
communication
is
had
with
the
gambling
commission
and
the
company
to
ensure
that
in
future
that
there
is
a
protocol.
That
is
that
actually
we
are
made
aware
of
any
breaches
or
indiscretions.
J
There
are
anything
that
we
need
to
be
made
aware
about
as
a
licensing
authority
dealing
with
these
different
companies
in
the
city
who
hold
licenses
for
gambling.
So
I
can
give
you
some
reassurance
that
we
are
on
to
it.
I'm
happy
to
pick
it
up
with
you
after
executive
board,
if
you
want
and
and
ensure
that
you're
fully
briefed
as
to
where
we're
at
at
this
present
time
with
it
as
well.
J
I
can't
give
you
that
here,
because
we
haven't
got
an
officer
in
attendance
council
look
out,
so
that's
all
check.
E
That's
some
reassurance,
obviously
very
worrying
and
talk
about
money
laundering,
because
having
knows
whose
money
is
being
laundered
and
what,
for
particularly
at
the
present
time
and
the
only
insurance
I'd
like
from
you
now
here,
is
that
the
licensing
committee
members
will
be
fully
briefed
about
this,
so
that
they
are
aware
of
what's
happened
and
that
they
can
hopefully
strengthen
their
position
and
make
sure
making
sure
that
they
are
fully
informed
and
a
private
briefing
that
on
all
of
the
matters
would
be
very
welcome.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you.
I
don't
see
any
more
indications
to
speak,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
five,
four
five
and
I
see
everybody's
happy
with
those.
So
they
are
agreed
and
we'll
move
to
item
twelve
police
council
cooper.
J
So
item
12
is
the
financial
health
monitoring
for
month
five
of
this
year.
I
think
just
a
couple
of
of
points
to
make
on
this
one
that
we
have
got
some
covid
related
overspend
within
this
year,
but
we
are
hopefully
to
be
able
to
achieve
a
balanced
budget
at
the
end
of
the
year
and
in
fact,
it's
important
that
we
do.
Otherwise.
J
We
will
take
forward
other
pressures
next
year
that
we
can
far
do
without
I've
got
to
say
it's
been
an
extremely
challenging
year,
not
only
and
because
of
the
impact
of
corvid
on
the
financial
situation
of
the
council,
but
actually
we're
still
trying
to
achieve
the
56
million
pound
in
savings
during
this
year
as
well.
So
I'll
leave
it
there.
For
now,
chair.
E
Yes,
just
to
turn
to
the
the
levels
of
overspend
which,
fortunately,
for
us
being
largely
offset
by
what
is
currently
only
one
off
money
that
we've
got
from
the
government
in
terms
of
the
cohen
protection
money,
which
is
what
25
million
pounds,
but
I
want
to
go
back
and
hope
that
to
get
some
sensible
comments,
I'd
like
this
executive
board
to
have
a
report
on
the
waste
collection
situation
because
it
doesn't
seem
to
have
improved
at
all
since
the
debate
in
council.
E
I
think
I've
had
five
emails
so
far
today
about
missed
collections
and
we
need
to
give
our
constituents
some
reassurance
now.
I
understand
why
the
pressures
financially
are
are
there
and
I
understand
that
there
may
indeed
be
a
greater
presentation
of
waste,
both
green
and
black,
but
not
to
the
not
that
can't
be
properly
addressed.
E
If
we
were
actually
suggesting
that
there
was
now
over
presentation
of
brown
bean
waste,
it
makes
no
sense,
and
rather
than
getting
to
a
spot
on
a
world
tour
with
councillor
rafiq.
I
would
like
him
to
commit
to
bringing
a
report
on
the
overspend
situation
and
what
rectification
measures
are
being
taken
as
regards
the
refuse
collection
service,
because
when
it
comes
to
next
year-
and
this
council
puts
council
tax
up
again-
which
it
will
now,
some
residents
are
going
to
say,
hang
on
a
second,
you
don't
even
have
to
add.
E
I
think
this
exec
board
can
expect
to
have
a
proper
paper
and
explanation,
but
more
particularly
category
think
a
plan
of
how
we're
going
to
go
forward
and
get
this
job
sorted
out.
Otherwise
we're
going
to
have
an
overspend
next
year
and
hopefully
there'll
be
no
kobe
died
behind,
says
he,
as
I
say
hopefully
but,
but
I
think
you
know,
the
exec
board
deserves
a
proper
explanation
and
I've
tried
to
keep
this
conversation
relatively
polite,
because
I
don't
necessarily
think
largely
bargaining,
like
the
only
council,
serves
any
purpose
at
all.
E
A
Thank
you,
council
carter.
When
I
heard
on
the
media
this
morning,
we
might
be
into
winter
plan
b
already.
K
Yeah
thanks,
I
mean
that
council
carter,
yeah,
okay,
well
gonna,
go.
I
K
Yeah,
well,
I'm
not
really
sure
where
you're
taking
the
discussion
on
one
hand,
you're
saying
you're
talking
about
it,
overspent
clearly,
there's
been,
you
know
extra
tonnages
across
the
three
different.
You
know
the
pin
streams,
black
green
and
and
brown
during
the
since
the
start
of
the
pandemic.
Obviously
more
people
are
are
working
from
home,
more
packaging
because
more
people
are
ordering
online
and
of
course,
people.
K
You
know,
we've
had
a
relatively
good
weather
as
well
with
coupled
with
d
leafing,
but
on
top
of
that,
obviously,
in
terms
of
priority,
the
green
and
black
beans
are
prioritized.
If
we
are,
you
know
obviously
short
on
a
couple
on
a
particular
day.
K
Then
it's
the
brown
bins
tend
to
be,
you
know,
and
hence,
if
you
you
know,
and
I'm
I'm
proud
to
say
in
city
and
I'm
an
e
forum
that
we
do
have
one
of
the
best
brown
bin
and
the
biggest
anywhere
in
the
country
and
free
of
charge
as
well-
and
I
I
mentioned
that
in
full
council-
and
I
can
say
this
about
the
neighboring
bradford
or
birmingham
or
many
others
where
they're
sort
of
you
know.
K
For
instance,
birmingham
only
collects
fifty
thousand
beans
brown
bin
collections
every
week
we
do
two
hundred
and
ten
thousand
out
of
three
hundred
fifty
seven
thousand
properties
birmingham's
got
over
four
hundred
thousand
properties
and
they
do
fifty
thousand.
So
you
know
there
are
obviously
clearly
challenges
10
to
15
percent
in
terms
of
extra
presentation,
which
is
not
just
the
cost
of
extra
crew
and
staffing,
but
the
cost
of
disposing
of
that
waste
as
well,
which
why
we've
got
the
oversight,
I'm
more
than
happy.
K
If
you
got
any
emails
to
forward
to
me
if
there
is
particularly
a
particular
issue
in
your
ward
to
do
that,
we
did
have
issues
coupled
with
the
you
know
the
freedom
day,
and
you
know
the
lifting
of
the
distributions,
particularly
in
july
and
august.
The
problem
has
been
much
better,
although
I
think
a
couple
of
days
yesterday
and
today-
and
you
know-
we've
had
issues
where
staff
not
being
able
to
do
all
the
time
or
we
have
some
stuff
being
off.
K
So
you
know
you
do
get
those,
but
generally
since
the
start
of
september,
it's
been
relatively
good,
we're
not
the
only
ones
you've
seen.
I
think
there's
about
three
or
four
councils
around
the
country
where
actually
staff
are
going
on
strikes
or
concerning
that,
and
you
know,
I
agree
that
it's
not
that
perfect,
but
in
the
midst
of
all
things
and
how
other
how
we
compare
with
other
local
authorities,
it
is
one
of
the
best
in
the
country,
and
I
can
assure
you
that
I
can
give
you
the
suspect,
as
well.
E
A
K
E
E
K
Yeah,
so
we
could
look
at
the
the
overspend
and
all
that
I
think
I
think
that
needs
to
be
factored
in.
We
need
to
see
obviously
how
it
pans
out
going
to
next
year,
because
we
don't
know
how
many
people
would
be
still
be
working
from
home,
but
that's
something
I
think
we
need
to
factor
in.
We
need
to
be
factored
into
budget
rather
than
showing
us
an
overspend.
You
know,
year
and
year
out
so
yeah
we'll
we're
happy
to
do.
E
J
I
could
just
bring
this
back
to
the
finances,
which
is
what
what
the
what
what
the
the
the
paper
is
and
and
around
the
overspend
that
you
raised,
chancellor
carter
in
in
waste
and-
and
we
have
already
got
some
some
plans
to
to
cover
that
overspend
with
some
of
the
funding
that
we've
had
around
covered
related
funding
from
from
the
government
as
well.
J
So
we
we
do
have
plans
to
ensure
that
we
do
balance
at
the
end
of
the
year
and
and
some
of
those
funding
will
be
used
for
for
the
waste
or
overspend
as
well.
J
I
mean
councillor
fakers
explained
how
difficult
a
year
it's
been
with
the
you
know,
presentation
of
west,
and
it's
had
an
impact
on
on
the
ability
to
collect
it
in
a
timely
way,
and
not
only
that,
but
we've
got
staff
who
have
been
affected
needed
to
self-isolate
and
also
have
been
suffering
from
covered
themselves
as
well.
So
I
think
in
difficult
circumstances,
things
are
running
along
quite
well.
E
What
I'm
saying
is
there
seems
to
be
a
lack
in
management
of
a
proper
plan
to
recover
the
situation
financially
and
practically,
and
most
of
my
constituents
who
complained
to
me
of
late
have
been
more
than
reasonable
in
terms
of
understanding
people
being
ill
and
not
being
able
to
do
around
it's
the
lack
of
any
sort
of
proper
plan.
There
seems
to
be
to
recover
the
situation
and
both
financially
and
and
practically,
and
I
think,
there's
an
exact
word.
E
A
I
think
I'm
trying
to
address
this
in
the
tone
that
you
you
started
as
counselor
carter's.
Clearly
when
we
set
the
budget
back
in
february,
when
we
were
all
sat
at
home,
I
don't
think
we
even
back
in
february
thought
even
by
this
time
of
the
year,
we'd
still
be
dealing
with
covert,
but
we
only
are
on
the
effects
that
and
we
are
so
I
think
it's
again.
A
I
don't
see
any
more
comments
on
this
paper,
so
I
will
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
617..
A
I
see
everybody's
agrees
with
those,
so
we
will
close
the
public
part
of
the
meeting
and
move
into
the
confidential
section.
Thank
you
and
I'll
say
thank
you
to
everybody
for
attending.
