B
Good
afternoon
and
thank
thank
you
all
for
joining
our
executive
board
meeting
this
afternoon,
the
last
meeting
of
2020
and
I'm
sure
many
of
us
will
feel
that
we
need
to
come
to
the
end
of
this
year.
It's
been
obviously
the
the
most
extraordinary
year
that
any
of
us
have
ever
experienced,
and
it's
real
testament.
B
Our
commitment
that
we're
here
meeting
on
zoom
and
successfully
getting
through
the
business
in
in
hand
can
I
move
on
to
the
agenda
fully.
Please
and
item
we'll
just
go
through
the
agenda
items.
Please
item
one.
A
Thank
you,
chair
appeals
to
confirm
chair,
there's
been
no
appeals
received
for
today's
meeting.
A
Exempt
information?
Yes
chair:
should
the
board
be
agreeable
appendix
one
to
item
11,
which
is
the
arena
development
plots
clear
pit
lane
and
appendix
3
to
item
19,
which
is
disposal
of
land
located
on
whittleston
green
rothwell
for
extra
care
housing
had
to
be
considered
in
private
and
designated
as
exempt
from
publication.
A
And
then
item
three
chair
items
if
you're
a
if
you're
agreeable
a
report
entitled
update
on
the
coronavirus
pandemic,
has
been
circulated
prior
to
the
meeting
for
consideration
as
agenda
item
7
and
a
report
entitled
update
on
the
council's
preparations
for
the
uk's
exit
from
the
eu
has
been
circulated
prior
to
the
meeting
for
consideration.
A
B
Okay,
thank
you
item
four.
Can
I
ask
if
any
members
have
any
direct
procunary
interest
they
wish
to
declare
I'll
take
silence
as
a
negative.
Thank
you
item
five.
Can
we
approve
the
minutes
of
the
last
meeting
that
are
before
us.
B
Okay,
thank
you.
So
can
we
move
on
to
the
agenda
item
proper
and
obviously
the
is
that
the
time
of
year,
where
we've
we
have
the
draft
budget
before
us?
This
has
been
a
very
quite
protracted
process,
obviously
this
year
because
of
the
extraordinary
situation
that
the
going
through
the
pandemic
has
brought
us
brought
us
into.
B
We,
I
understand,
and
I'm
sure
we'll
get
confirmation
of
this-
that
the
we
will
receive
the
final
settlement
tomorrow.
That's
my
understanding
of
the
situation,
so
we
still
don't
have
the
final
settlement
before
us,
and
many
of
the
proposals
that
have
been
put
before
executive
board
are
and
have
been
subject
to
consultation.
So
there
is
still
quite
a
significant
amount
of
work
to
be
done
in
finally
putting
the
the
reports
together
to
move
to
the
final
budget
settling
meeting
in
february.
B
Can
I
just
take
this
opportunity
of
thanking
victoria
and
her
team.
I
think
they've
done
an
extraordinary
job
in
such
difficult
circumstances,
and
I
know
that
you
still
will
have
a
great
deal
more
to
do
but
sincerely.
Thank
you
for
the
work
that
that
you've
done
this
far
before
I
open
this
up.
I
would
like
to
hand
over
to
council
lewis
to
see
if
there's
any
further
comments
that
he
would
like
to
add
at
this
stage.
C
D
C
Leader,
I
almost
pressed
leave
rather
than
unmute,
which
is,
I
think
all
of
us
have
felt
like
that
during
2020
at
some
point.
Just
to
add
what
you
said
later
and
and-
and
I
would
add
my
thanks
to
comments
about
how
hard
officers
have
worked
not
just
to
deal
with
the
global
pandemic,
two
lockdowns
and
all
the
associated
events,
but
the
timetable
for
setting
our
budget
for
2122
has
remained
as
it
does
for
every
year,
so
that
process
has
taken
place
as
well.
As
this
report
sets
out
this.
C
There
are
some
significant
organizational
change
proposals
as
well
in
in
in
here.
I
think
the
a
couple
of
points,
I
would
add,
is,
first
of
all
again
given
the
light
of
the
year.
This
is
a
draft
budget.
It
doesn't
it
doesn't
at
this
stage
exactly
balance
fully
acknowledge
that
when
we
come
to
february,
we
do
have
to
produce
a
balanced
budget
in
line
with
it.
This
budget
doesn't
doesn't
exactly
balance
at
this
stage,
like
you
say,
we're
waiting
for
a
settlement
and
other
monies.
C
The
second
point
is,
I
think
we
were
all
very
surprised
in
the
spending
statement
that
the
chancellor
made
that
money
for
adult
social
care
that
we
thought
we
were
receiving
as
grant
it
turned
out.
The
chancellor
gave
us
the
option
of
well
withdrew
money.
We
thought
we
were
receiving
as
grant
from
government
and
gave
us
the
option
instead
of
raising
additional
council
tax
in
the
form
of
the
adult
social
care
precept.
C
This
proposal,
the
proposed
budget-
recognizes
that
as
a
factor,
but
it
doesn't
state
our
final
position
on
what
we
will
do
with
that.
We'll
have
to
do
further
work
on
that
to
see
what
we
do,
but
it
is
regretful
that,
given
the
year
that
we
know
many
of
our
residents
have
had,
and
also
the
pressure
on
the
adult
social
care
system
that
the
government
felt
that
adding
more
pressure
on
residents
to
take
pressure
elsewhere
off
the
system
was
a
way
forward.
B
Okay,
thank
you.
Can
I
go
to
councillor
carter?
Do
you
have
any
comments?
I'm
sure
you'll
be
reserving
your
position
on
her.
E
Yeah,
yes,
particularly
so
on
this
occasion,
councillor
blake,
because
it's
it's
more
more
draft
than
it
usually
is
at
this
time
of
year
because
of
the
the
situation
and,
as
somebody
once
famously
said,
tomorrow
is
another
day
and
and
and
tomorrow
seems
to
be
going
to
be
a
very
big
day
in
all
sorts
of
directions,
not
least
the
revenue
support
grant
settlement
announcement,
which
I'm
pleased
is
coming
tomorrow.
E
I
think
there
was
some
concern
it
might
be
delayed
until
the
beginning
of
next
week
and,
of
course,
we've
got
announcements
on
uncovered
restrictions.
E
So
it's
difficult
to
ask
precise
questions,
but
I
want
to
ask
one
or
two
within
this
paper
most
of
the
savings
that
you,
your
administration
have
suggested,
are
included
up
to
press.
Some
of
them,
however,
are
still
out
to
consultation,
one
that
doesn't
appear
in
these
papers
and
council
lewis
has
touched
upon.
It
is
the
fact
you
were
going
to
reduce
by
some
hundreds
of
thousands
of
pounds,
our
support
of
neighborhood
networks
in
adult
social
care.
E
Do
I
take
it,
therefore,
that
is
not
going
ahead
and
that
alternative
sources
of
funding
have
been
identified
just
to
pick
up
council
lewis's
point
about
the
option
that
the
government
have
given
us
on
council
tax.
Nobody,
nobody
wants
to
see.
Council
tax
go
up
unduly,
but
I
do
think
you
know
it's
difficult
to
accept
that.
On
the
one
hand,
the
council
is
always
saying
we
never
have
any
options.
E
We
never
have
the
ability
to
take
decisions
ourselves,
but
when
it
comes
to
being
given
an
option,
we
complain
about
it,
presumably
because
it's
a
painful
set
of
options,
but
I'm
afraid
to
say
painful
options
are
there
for
all
of
us
and
every
level
of
government.
So
to
be
moaning.
That
particular
thing,
I
think,
is
a
bit
a
bit
unfortunate.
So
I'd
like
a
a
particular
answer
on
that.
E
I
also-
and
this
may
seem
minor
to
a
lot
of
people,
but
I
assure
you
it's
not
to
most
local
communities
the
issue
of
community
committee
funding.
Now
we
know
in
these
papers
that
there
is
a
15
reduction
on
well-being
funds
built
in
which
no
doubt
opposition
groups
might
or
might
not
seek
to
reverse.
But
let's
move
on
the
presumption
that
they
are
going
to
be
included.
E
It
becomes
extremely
important,
therefore,
for
sensible
financial
planning
reasons
that
we
find
out
now,
whether
it's
the
intention
of
the
council
to
claw
back
any
underspends
in
well-being
funds,
and
it's
perfectly
obvious.
I
think
why
I'm
saying
that,
faced
with
reductions
next
year,
community
committees
may
be
able
to
stave
off
some
reductions.
E
They
don't
want
to
see
by
use
of
balances,
which
is
something
that
the
council
in
general
itself
does,
but
also
what
we
don't
want
to
see
is
is
unnecessary
money
being
spent
that
be
on
things
that
are
likely
not
to
happen
anyway,
because
of
coving,
so
for
the
sake
of
getting
a
sensible
way
forward
and
assurance
on
that
would
be
extremely
useful.
I
know
that
councilor
cooper
was
challenged
on
this
by
community
meeting
chairs
at
their
recent
meeting
with
her
and
the
non-committal
answer
was
given.
F
B
Okay,
counselors:
do
you
want
to
pick
up
those
items.
C
Thank
you
chair,
I'm
afraid
on
the
last
one
I
I
I
will,
as
councillor
carter
predicted,
be
giving
an
uncommittal
answer.
Clearly
we
do
value
community
committees.
We
were
written
two
in
the
last
few
days
by
councillor
cooper,
indicating
we
were
receiving
more
funds
from
the
covid
related
grant
funding.
The
council
has
received
outside
the
normal
settlement
towards
community
committees.
So
I
think
that
demonstrates
our
commit.
C
Our
commitment
to
council
cars
disappeared
to
our
community
committees,
I'd
like
to
say,
I'm
afraid
I'm
going
to
have
to
be
still
continuing
to
be
non-committal
in
terms
of
the
adult
social
care
precept
like
to
say
it
was
a.
We
have
taken
the
precepts
to
raise
money
for
adult
social
care
in
the
past.
It
was
an
unexpected
item
and
we
do
need
to
consider
our
position
on
that
on
neighborhood
networks.
C
I
believe
the
information
has
been
released,
that
we
are
again
as
a
referred
to
on
on
community
committees,
releasing
money
associated
with
covert
towards
neighborhood
networks.
I
believe
that
information
has
been
released.
I
like
to
say
I
come
back
to
the
point
I
made.
This
is
a
a
more
draft
budget
than
we'd
expect.
It
has
been
an
exceptional.
C
It
has
been
an
exceptional
year
but,
like
you
say,
these
are
steps
we're
taking
and
I
hope
we've
covered
some
of
the
hubble
cup
issues
raised.
Council
carter.
Sorry,
you
disappeared.
I
don't
know
whether
you
heard
my
answer
or
not.
I
did
any
of
it.
E
I
did
hear
I
was
I
was
reading
reading
the
papers,
which
of
course
were
able
to
get
up
on
screen
as
you.
I
hope,
you're
aware.
B
Yeah,
okay,
you
wanted
to
come
back
on
something
else
as
well.
B
All
right,
okay,
thank
you.
Can
I
move
on
to
councillor
galton,
then.
G
Please
thanks
chair,
I'm
I'm
very
interested
in
in
how
this
is
being
discussed
and,
as
you
can
appreciate,
we
are,
of
course,
reserving
our
position.
The
issue
around
councillor
carter,
criticizing
the
council
for
the
issue
around
the
precept.
I
have
to
remind
council
carter.
The
government
is
the
one
that
announced
this
as
billions
of
pounds
of
extra
spending
on
social
care,
but
they
didn't
actually
mention
in
that
announcement
that
actually
it
was
an
option
for
local
authority
to
tax.
G
It
wasn't
for
money
to
actually
be
delivered
from
the
center
and
handed
over,
and
I
think
it's
only
right
that
the
council
should
take
that
taxation
level
seriously.
At
this
point,
however,
through
the
lack
of
certainty
at
this
point
about
what
the
council
is
going
to
do,
it
puts
these
draft
proposals,
which
are
already
quite
vague
in
some
areas,
even
more
vague,
because
the
assumptions
so
far
are
that
the
council
will
take
the
full
precept.
G
And
if
the
council
chooses
not
to
and
to
divide
it
up
across
a
couple
of
years,
then
we
will
be
facing
even
further
cuts,
which
aren't
mentioned
at
all.
In
this
paper,
and
one
of
the
things
I
will
say
is
we
really
do
need
to
perhaps
look
at
the
cross,
departmental
reviews
which
are
also
included
in
the
paper
and
think.
G
G
For
this
to
happen,
given
that
the
document
around
a
new
way
of
working
for
local
government
was
released
by
tom
reardon
and
councillor
wakefield
several
years
ago,
which
advocated
that
kind
of
cross-departmental
structure
to
add
some
kind
of
mechanism
which
would
make
sure
that
decisions
that
we
did
make
were
rounded
decisions
and
that
didn't
cause
undue
harm.
G
Whilst
other
areas
of
this
of
the
city
get
a
higher
level
of
service-
and
I
really
do
think
that
we-
we
need
to
be
looking
at
these
proposals
and
listening
to
the
counselors
that
are
feeding
back
to
you
and
the
groups
are
feeding
back
to
you
in
terms
of
things
like
the
bowling
greens
being
cut
by
50,
even
though
their
value
for
future
health
and
well-being
is
one
which
you
would
hope
to
be.
Achieving
a
hundred
percent
more
each
year
are
short-sighted
and
counterproductive,
and
I
look
forward
to
this
debate
being
taken
further.
G
B
Okay,
thanks
councillors,
I'm
not
sure
if
there's
anything
specific,
you
want
to
pick
up
in
that.
C
Reflecting
on
this
is
the
10th
year
we've
had
to
make
austerity
savings.
I
would
remind
council
golden
that
he
was
in
government
cutting
our
funding
for
the
first
five
of
those
you
might
say
stuart,
but
this
is
serious.
This
is
serious
stuff
and-
and
again
you
know
if,
if
we
had
thought
that
these
decisions
were
easy,
I'm
sure
we'd
have
taken
them
years
ago,
and
I
think
that
reflects
the
seriousness
of
the
position
we're
in
again.
C
B
I
I
would
also
add
that
you
know
going
back
over
the
years.
We
would
never
have
had
this
level
of
scrutiny
of
the
budget
so
early,
and
I
think
that
has
been
a
development
that
that
everyone
should
welcome.
If
I'm
honest,
even
though
the
situation
at
the
moment
is
so
difficult,
and
one
thing
we
know
about
consultation
exercise,
they
very
often
throw
up
some
really
creative
and
and
useful
ideas
of
ways
of
working,
and
it's
a
it-
is
a
way
of
keeping
in
contact
with
the
different
news
groups
around
the
city.
E
Yes,
I
mean
just
on
that
last
point.
You
you're
right
there
and
it
would
be
wrong
to
say
that
the
budget
process
is
not
really
helpful
in
the
way
that
it
gives
time
for
all
councillors
and
more
particularly
members
of
the
public,
to
be
able
to
to
to
comment-
and
I
also
I
should
have
thanked
the
finance
department-
indeed,
all
all
officers
for
the
work
they've
put
in
to
this.
E
But
you
know
I
do
have
to
remind
you
that
it's
only
a
couple
of
weeks
since
our
accountants
grant
thornton
effectively
said
that
we
were
ill-prepared
as
a
council
to
cope
with
kobe
because
of
our
lack
of
reserves
and
debt
position
and
as
we
have
the
lowest
level
of
reserves
of
any
any
of
the
core
cities.
E
E
You
might
like
to
know
judith
that
during
your
tenure
as
leader,
our
council
borrowing
has
just
topped
a
billion
pounds,
a
billion
pounds,
and
that
is
only
the
borrowing
on
which
we
have
to
pay
on
the
capital
program,
rather
that
we
have
to
pay
interest.
E
So,
basically,
every
time
a
child
is
born
in
leeds,
it's
bordering
leed
city,
council,
1,
250
pounds,
and
that's
only
for
the
amount
of
money
you
have
spent
without
the
appropriate
funding
to
go
with
it.
Since
you
became
leader
of
the
council,
so
you
know
when,
when
I
hear
all
the
talk
of
austerity
and
cuts,
I
do
think
we
need
to
look
at
the
way
our
you
have
run
our
finances
in
general
and,
as
stewart
said
for
once,
I
agree
with
him.
There'll
be
more
to
debate
about
this
in
due
course.
B
Thank
you,
I'm
sure
we're
all
looking
forward
to
it
already.
Thank
you,
councillor
carter.
With
those
comments.
Can
we
agree
that
approve
the
recommendations
of
the
papers
for
item
six
and
move
on
to
item
seven,
which
is
a
separate
paper
late
paper
on
the
the
update
of
the
coronavirus
situation
and
and
again
this
is
a
another
situation
which
is
a
very
really
movable
feast.
As
we
know
again.
B
I
do
want
to
start
by
paying
tribute
to
all
council
departments
for
the
extraordinary
effort
that
they
have
put
in
and
when
you
actually
look
at
the
extent
of
the
work,
the
reach
that
we've
had
the
support
that
we've
given
to
the
public
of
leeds
and
the
response
from
the
public
and
from
our
partners
recognizing
the
the
the
work
that
has
been
done
by
the
council.
B
I
think,
is
second
to
none,
and
I
really
do
want
to
pay
tribute
to
to
everyone
for,
for
the
effort
that
has
been
made,
and
this
situation
a
year
ago
could
not
have
been
foreseen
and
the
way
that
the
council
has
stepped
up
and
and
really
taken,
the
the
rightful
community
leadership
role
has
been,
has
been
exemplary.
In
my
view,
it
that
we
we
do
need
opportunities
to
reflect
on
just
what
we
have
achieved.
B
We
are
very
good
at
moving
forward
to
dealing
with
the
next
situation,
but
actually,
I
think,
more
than
any
any
time
we
all
of
us
need
to
be
expressing
our
gratitude
to
the
effort
that
has
gone
in,
and
I
sincerely
hope
that
that
everyone
does
get
the
chance
to
recharge
their
batteries
over
the
holiday
period,
because
many
people
have
not
taken
any
leave
or
their
leave
has
been
severely
interrupted.
B
Since
this,
the
first
case
came,
was
identified
in
luta
in
early
march
earlier
this
this
year.
So
we
are
now
in
a
position
which
we
have.
I
could
only
really
hope
for
a
few
months
ago
that
we
are
in
the
process
of
delivering
vaccines
across
the
city,
and
I
understand
already
over
2
000
people
have
been
received
their
first
in
injection
of
the
two
and
already
when
you're
out
and
about
you
can
hear
people
talking
about
people.
B
They
know
who
have
received
an
invitation
to
go
to
to
to
be
vaccinated,
which
really
does
show
how
how
it
is
being
taken
forward
and
our
health
colleagues
have
are
doing
an
extraordinary
job,
helping
to
get
the
vaccine
out.
And,
of
course,
this
vaccine
is
is
a
particularly
difficult
vaccine
to
to
look
after
and
and
it
needs
very
sensitive
handling.
B
So
I
think
that
makes
the
achievement
even
even
more
extraordinary,
so
we
look
forward
to
rapid
escalation
of
the
doses
of
vaccine
vaccine
being
delivered,
since
we
last
met,
of
course,
we've
seen
a
real
uptick
in
our
localized
tracing
service,
which,
which
we've
all
said
all
the
way
through.
As
you
know,
the
more
local
you
can
get
this.
This
work,
the
better.
B
So
again,
thank
you
to
all
of
the
the
work
that's
been
done
on
the
on
the
front
line
in
this
area
really
working
to
gain
the
confidence
of
of
our
communities
at
this
time.
B
B
We've
certainly
put
a
submission
in
at
the
end
of
last
week
against
the
five
criteria
that
the
government
have
sat
around
this
with
a
a
strong
view
from
ourselves
that
we
feel
or
felt
given
the
circumstances
at
the
end
of
last
week
that
we
were
in
a
strong
position
to
move
forward,
and
we
did
share
that
intention
with
the
other
leaders
across
council
and
received
their
support
for
taking
that
forward.
B
We're
expecting
to
hear
the
results
of
the
deliberations
in
london
probably
tomorrow
morning.
That
is
the
most
likely
scenario
and
we
have
obviously
in
the
past,
been
expecting
announcements
to
be
made
and
they
have
been
delayed.
So
nothing
is
absolutely
set
in
stone
with
them
with
response
to
the
virus
as
we
as
we
know,
but
you
know
that,
obviously,
if
we
do
move
tears,
there
will
be
a
great
deal
of
work
to
continue
to
do
with
the
those
businesses
that
will
be
affected.
B
But
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
listen
in
to
the
prime
minister's
announcements
today
about
the
their
discussions
about
the
christmas
period
from
the
headlines
that
have
been
coming
through.
It
would
appear
they're
not
considering
making
any
changes
to
the
arrangements
that
they've
announced,
but
they
will
be
changing
the
messaging
and
offering
stronger
guidance
to
to
people
out
in
our
communities
as
to
what
how
they
should
operate
over
the
christmas
period
and
we'll
have
to
look
at
that
in
detail.
B
But
I
just
want
to
reassure
all
members
that
we
will
be
doing
everything
we
can,
as
we
have
throughout
the
crisis,
to
keep
all
members
up
to
up
to
to
date
with
the
latest
information
that
we
have
and
I'm
sure
that
we
will
be
continuing
that
over
the
next
two
weeks
with
the
holiday
period
coming
up.
So
before
I
open
it
up.
B
I
don't
know
tom
if
there's
anything
you
want
to
add
at
this
stage,
but
clearly
the
report
reflects
the
enormous
amount
of
work
that
happens
day
on
day,
and
this
is
bringing
it
together
for
the
update
from
the
the
last
month's
worth
of
activity.
But
it
really
is
an
impressive
compilation
of
that.
B
The
far-reaching
work
and
I
haven't
even
talked
about
the
extraordinary
efforts
that
have
been
going
on
through
martin
and
martin's
team
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
we're
getting
the
financial
support
out
to
businesses
where,
as
as
quickly
as
we
possibly
can
and
so
much
more
that
we
could
touch
on
tom.
If
there's
anything,
you
would
like
to
add
at
this
point.
H
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
leader,
yeah,
just
to
say
just
that
we
were.
I
think
this
has
been
the
biggest
test
for
the
council.
H
Certainly
in
my
time,
and
probably
arguably
since
since
the
war
in
terms
of
you
know
the
city
itself
and
the
council
is
that
you
know
the
local
local
authority
concerned
and
and
and
the
reason
that
we've
we've
done
so
well,
is
exactly
what
you've
said,
which
is
the
tremendous
effort
from
people
on
the
ground
and
council
officers
and
members
and
and
the
collaborative
team
spirit
we
have
in
the
city
and
that's
borne
out
with
the
the
vaccine
having
gone
out
since,
as
you
say,
you
know,
since
last
tuesday,
we've
got
over
2
000
it'll
be
3
000
by
the
end
of
today
I
understand
and
20
000.
H
By
the
end
of
the
calendar
year,
people
haven't
had
their
first
jab,
which
is
the
biggest
thing
that
will
make
the
biggest
difference.
We
have
huge
amount
of
work
going
on
through
victoria
and
a
team
on
dealing
with
outbreaks,
closing
them
down,
making
sure
that
they
don't
spread.
The
universities
have
worked
incredibly
well
together
to
close
down
what
was
a
doubling
every
few
days
within
the
student
population
and
within
a
matter
of
three
weeks,
it
was
reduced
down
to
fifteen
cases
per
hundred
thousand
again
testament
to
that
collaborative
work.
H
The
500
pound
self-isolation
payments
have
been
rolling
out
in
large
numbers
to
people
in
the
city,
the
the
business
grants,
as
you
say,
five
and
a
half
thousand
business
grants
have
been
allocated
and
we've
we're
making
sure
that
we
get
business
grants
allocated
to
those
businesses
who've
had
to
close
in
december
before
christmas,
who've
applied
to
us,
so
over
a
thousand
will
get
that
as
well
and
then
finally
just
to
cover,
as
you
say,
the
tiering
issue,
just
just
to
to
reference
the
the
major
amount
of
meetings
that
we
had
and
the
great
respect
and
and
involvement
that
we
and
engagement
that
we
had
with
the
nhs
partners.
H
B
Okay,
thanks
tom
council
carter,
would
you
like
to
comment.
B
E
First
of
all,
echo
my
thanks
to
all
the
staff
in
the
council,
but
also
in
the
nhs,
but
for
the
council.
For
the
moment
people
have
been
putting
in
the
extra
mile
now
for
months
and
you're
right,
a
break
is
needed,
it's
perfectly
obvious,
and
it
the
same
affects
our
constituents.
E
A
lot
of
people
now
showing
significant
signs
of
stress
and
the
whole
country
needs
a
break,
but
it
has
to
be
done
carefully
and
with
proper
consideration,
interesting
that
earlier
this
morning
I
heard
part
of
pmq's
prime
minister's
questions
and
the
prime
minister
actually
singled
out
west
yorkshire
and
other
northern
areas
for
the
way
in
which
we
performed
in
driving
down
the
infections
in
our
areas,
as
opposed
to
to
parts
of
london,
and
indeed
in
wales,
where
the
whole
thing's
been
converging
on
a
catastrophe.
E
So
I
think
there's
recognition
that
that
a
lot
of
very,
very
significant
steps
have
been
taken
as
best
we
can
to
control
the
virus,
and
thanks
does
need
to
go
to
the
people
of
the
city,
and
I
don't
really.
I
really
don't
like
to
see
this
singling
out
of
particular
groups
who
have
perhaps
not
evade
the
rules
as
they
are.
The
vast
majority
of
people
in
leeds
have
taken
this
extremely
seriously
and
I'm
one
of
the
people.
E
As
you
know,
and
as
you
know,
I
also
directly
contacted
two
cabinet
ministers
supporting
the
stands
that
the
council
were
taking
and
moving
to
tier
2..
E
I
think
that
the
case
may
be
slightly
marginal,
but
you
have
to
start
wondering
whether
the
cure
is
gonna
finish
up
being
a
lot
worse
than
the
disease,
and
people
are
showing
all
sorts
of
strain
because
of
the
position
that
that
not
just
the
country
but
half
the
world
it
would
appear,
seems
to
be
struggling
with
and-
and
I
think
that
people
who
choose
to
disobey
and
don't
listen
to
the
messages
are
being
extremely
extremely
foolish
because
we
do
need
to
relax
to
some
degree,
but
that
won't
work.
E
G
Well,
thanks
chair,
I,
I
won't
add
to
the
debate
around
tier
2
and
tier
3
and
guidance
for
people
for
what
to
take,
because
I
I
also
listened
to
question
time
today
and
then
I
and
then
politics
live
afterwards
and
the
different
advice
which
is
coming
out
of
the
different
administrations
across
the
country
but
is
being
broadcast
universally.
I
I'm
not
sure,
is
helping
to
get
the
message
across.
What
I
will
do
is
is
concentrate
perhaps
on
the
bit,
which
is
the
most
hopeful
for
the
general
population
and
that's
around
vaccination.
G
One
of
the
things
that
I
did
notice
as
a
local
counselor
and
a
member
of
our
local
care
partnership
is
that
for
the
vaccination
centers
there
was
a
request
that
went
out
in
terms
of
community
transport
to
enable
some
of
the
prioritized
groups
of
people
to
get
to
the
vaccination
centers
in
the
first
place-
and
I
was
just
thinking
it
didn't
feel
like
it
was
as
organized
as
it
could
be
around
the
transportation
element
and
talking
to
some
of
our
community
transport
providers.
G
I
am
aware,
for
instance,
that
under
the
clean
air
zone,
proposals
for
the
money
which
is
left
behind,
we
are
obviously
enabling
some
of
our
taxi
firms
to
have
their
drivers
have
free
licensing
for
a
year,
and
I
just
wondered
if
it
was
worth
developing
a
partnership
with
those
firms
to
enable
that
transportation
for
vaccination
to
go
perhaps
a
little
bit
more
smoothly.
Thanks
chair.
B
I
don't
know
if
tom
or
victoria
wants
commenter
I
mean.
I
think
everyone
is
hopeful,
that
the
oxford
vaccine
will
be
licensed
by
the
end
of
the
year,
and
I
think
that
will
help
with
accessibility
of
the
different
num
the
locations
where
the
vaccine
can
be
administered,
which
will
be
helpful.
I
I
I
I
don't
know
if
you
either
of
you
want
to
answer
specifically
now,
whether
it's
something
you
want
to
take
away
and
have
a
look
at.
H
I
I'm
sure
we
can
victoria
might
want
to
come
in,
but
I'm
sure
we
can
take
it
away.
I
I
I
would
say
that
this
week
we've
got
three
primary
care
venues,
given
that
given
the
vaccine
out-
and
it's
been
very
successful,
rolling
out
really
quickly
next
in
the
next
few
days,
we'll
have
another
six
and
then
we'll
have
all
19
in
leads
up
and
running
next
week.
H
So
it
will,
you
know,
will
be,
will
be
pretty
well
covered
in
the
in
the
city,
and
we
will
give
the
message
back
and
ask
the
question
that
council,
the
golden
has
raised
as
we
get
the
the
the
thing
ramping
up
even
more
in
the
new
year,
with
the
ma
with
the
larger
vaccination
site,
as
well
as
the
hospital
site.
H
Then
I
think
there
is
a
very
active
piece
of
work
to
do
about
making
sure
that
we
have
good
public
transport
in
place
for
for
people
and
that's
something
that
we're
actually
looking
at
as
well.
So
getting
people
to
and
from
you
know,
these
centers
being
able
to
have
the
vaccine
is
obviously
crucial
and
and
and
there
will
be
a
mobile
service
developed
as
well,
particularly
thinking
of
care
homes.
H
But
that
will
be
available
in
time
for,
for
others
too,
so
that
there
is
a
quite
a
major
program
of
thinking
about
all
of
these
things.
And
I
I
think
it's
probably
important
to
to
to
just
reflect
on
how
it
will
build
up
very
quickly
so
that
by
mid-january
we'll
have
sites
major
sites
running
right
across
the
city
able
to
serve
many.
You
know
all
the
communities
of
the
city,
I
don't
know
if
victoria
wants
to
add
anything
to
that.
I
I
We
we
need
that
and
and
do
everything
around
creative
ways
and
different
ways
of
ensuring
access,
so
part
of
that
maybe
will
be
community
transport,
but,
as
tom
said,
we
really
want
to
be
able
to
take
this
out
to
where
people
are,
as
well
as
expecting
them
to
come
to
vaccination
centers.
So,
as
a
council,
I
think
that
one
of
our
key
roles
is
working
with
nhs
partners,
not
just
to
get
the
numbers
but
to
get
those
numbers
in
the
right
places
and
to
make
sure
we
reach
all
communities.
So
thank
you.
B
Okay,
thank
you.
I'm
sure
I
speak
for
everyone
on
the
call
that
our
plea
to
government
is
that
the
guidance
that
does
come
out
for
around
christmas
and
the
period
ahead
is
consistent
and
I
think
the
difficulty
has
been
away.
B
There
has
been
variation
in
responses
that
have
been
inconsistencies
in
the
guidance
coming
from
different
departments,
different
different
parts
of
government-
and
I
just
repeat
again
our
plea
that
government
really
does
start
listening
more
to
local
government
and
that
they
start
to
respond
to
us
work
with
us
and
respect
us
more
in
in
our
ability
to
deliver
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
and
will
be
ongoing,
regardless
of
the
vaccine
for
for
several
months
to
come.
B
I'm
sure
so
I
think
that's
our
collective
plea
that
it
has
been
difficult
to
find
a
way
forward
and
some
of
the
guidance
coming
forward
that
different
organizations
have
had
to
respond
to
has
been
very
late
coming
in
the
day
and
has
created
created
quite
a
significant
amount
of
of
extra
trauma
for
for
people
on
the
front
line.
But
we
we'll
obviously
keep
everyone
informed
as
soon
as
we
are
aware
of
the
decision
that's
been
made.
B
Normally
it
would
go
to
the
covedo
committee
meeting
meeting
tomorrow,
chad
by
the
prime
minister,
and
then
I'm
sure
will
we,
I
hope,
will
be
informed
directly
as
a
local
authority.
Last
time
it
was
very
unsatisfactory
that
we
got
the
information
from
the
website.
We
weren't
informed
in
advance
of
it
going
into
the
public
domain,
which
made
our
response
really
quite
quite
challenging.
B
But
thank
you
for
the
comments
everyone
has
made
in
support
of
the
work
that
is
going
on
in
the
council
and
across
the
city
and,
let's
make
sure
we
do
everything
possible
to
enable
people
to
keep
doing
that
that
extraordinary
work
on
behalf
of
all
of
the
people
who
live
and
work
in
in
our
great
city.
B
So
with
that,
can
we
approve
the
recommendation
of
the
paper
and
then
we're
moving
on
to
a
second
late
paper
for
obvious
reasons
as
well,
which
is
the
the
paper
around
the
laying
out
the
position
in
terms
of
the
still
ongoing
negotiations
around
the
britain's
exit
from
the
european
union?
We
don't
know
yet
exactly
where
those
negotiations
have
have
reached
there
is.
B
There
are
statements
being
made
by
both
european
representatives
as
well
as
government,
suggesting
that
the
discussions
are
are
continuing,
are
proving
useful,
albeit
in
a
in
a
very
tense
and
difficult
situation,
we're
doing
everything
that
you
could
expect
of
us
to
keep
people
informed,
but
quite
quite
frankly,
I
don't
think
we
really
have
any
more
information
as
a
local
level
than
we
had
when
we
discussed
the
the
matters
before,
but
we're
keeping
a
very
close
contact
with
business
with
our
health
communities
and
all
of
the
sectors
who
who
are
being
affected
or
who
might
be
affected
more
as
we
reach
the
conclusion
of
the
negotiations
tom.
B
Clearly
we
do
have
a
you
know:
situations
around
our
ports
in
and
to
the
east
of
yorkshire
that
have
been
causing
concern,
but
I
don't
know
if
there's
anything
at
this
point
that
you
want
to
add
to
the
the
report.
That's
in
front
of
us.
H
Just
to
say
chair
that
the
obviously
the
fact,
as
we've
said
before
the
fact
that
we
are
we,
we
don't
have
a
major
part
within
our
within
our
geographic
boundary,
and
we
don't
have
a
major
freight
airport.
It
means
that
we
aren't
in
the
if
you
like,
as
much
in
the
front
line
as
other
places
in
the
country,
particularly
kent
would
be
if
there
was
not
to
be
a
deal
struck
and,
and
our
issues
tend
to
be
the
ones
more
at
a
granular
level.
H
In
terms
of
the
number
of
you
know,
helping
people
get
settled
status
of
which,
as
the
paper
says,
there's
now
42
000
applications
have
led
to
just
under
40
000
decisions.
H
H
Dealing
with
covid
and-
and
you
know,
haven't
necessarily
got
the
the
bandwidth
at
the
moment
for
to
think
about
the
full
range
of
issues
around
brexit,
the
the
the
the
issues
around
the
you
know,
the
more
general
ability
of
the
public
and
the
private
sectors
to
respond
after
such
a
difficult
year,
as
has
been
said,
you
know
in
terms
of
emergency
planning,
is,
is
a
challenge,
but
the
probably
the
main
I
get,
I
guess,
concern
that
has
been
raised
is
around
food,
where
what
I
would
say,
having
talked
to
to
asda
in
particular,
is
that
I
think
the
in.
H
In
many
ways
the
the
colbit
situation
has
given
the
supermarkets,
particularly
a
dry,
run
at
what
might
happen
in
terms
of
a
you
know,
an
ordeal
scenario,
so
I
think
they
they
feel
pretty
well
prepared.
Actually
for
for
what
happens
next,
the
the
bigger
issue
will
probably
be
a
more
gradual
in
increasing
potential
increase
in
food
prices,
which
would
obviously
affect
many
people
in
the
city
significantly.
H
But
I
would
finish
by
just
saying
obviously,
we've
always
said:
there
are
opportunities
that
come
from
this
process
and
we
are
working
actively
with
the
core
cities
and
and
and
central
departments
to
think
about
the
you
know,
the
the
post
deal
opportunities
for
international
trade,
in
particular,
we've
had
meetings
with,
with
both
leela
and
dartmouth
to
talk
about
these
issues
and
we'll
you
know
lead
has
always
been
an
international
city
and
will
I'm
sure,
grab
the
opportunity
opportunities
that
arise
with
both
hands
and
we'll
be
doing
that
with
the
with
the
with
the
business
community.
B
Thank
you,
tom
andrew.
Would
you
like
to
comment.
E
Only
really
to
say
we
shall
find
out
in
the
next
few
days.
I
suspect
whether
we've
got
a
deal
or
not
and
until
we
do
know
there's
little
more
to
be
said,
I
think
tom's
resume.
There
was
extremely
balanced
and
and
he's
right,
there's
some
downsides
and
there's
some
opportunities
and
leeds
needs
to
be
prepared
for
both.
B
Thank
you,
council
galton.
G
Thanks
chair,
what
an
opportune
time
for
the
council
to
cancel
its
its
food
waste
collection,
given
that
the
oven
ready
deal
has
been
overcooked.
All
I
can
say
chair
is,
I
hope
to
god.
We
soon
get
some
kind
of
clarity
to
allow
people
just
to
lead
their
lives
with
some
kind
of
certainty
and
for
businesses
to
be
able
to
make
investments
where
they
can,
with
some
kind
of
assuredness
other
than
a
bunch
of
expressions
of
hope
that
we've
seen
worse
than
this
and
we'll
come
out
on
the
other
side.
G
It's
very
serious
and
the
the
brevity
of
the
report
expresses
just
how
much
information
we've
got
to
go
on
in
terms
of
planning
for
the
future,
and
it
is
what
it
is
thanks.
Jeff.
B
Okay,
thank
you
and
don't
think,
there's
anything
more
to
add
at
this
stage,
we'll
all
be
watching
with
great
interest.
Obviously
what
unfolds
over
the
next
few
days,
it
is
of
such
significance
to
all
of
us
so
very
important
few
days
ahead
with
them.
With
those
comments,
can
we
approve
the
recommendations
and
move
on
to
item
nine,
please
this
is
still
still
under
my
portfolio.
B
It's
the
lease
agreement
for
the
leeds
media
center.
We
are
going
to
be
looking
at
this
below
the
line,
I'm
not
sure
martin,
if
there's
anything
particular
that
you'd
like
to
raise
at
this
point
above
the
line.
J
Yeah,
thank
you
councillor
blake.
I
don't
think
there
isn't
a
confidential
appendix
attached
to
this.
As
I
understand
it,
I
don't
know
whether
I.
J
I
think
it's
two
later
items
counselor
blake.
J
Just
in
terms
of
summary,
so
members
consider
a
report
in
july
2019
and
supported
the
investment
of
1.6
million
into
the
leeds
media
center
to
support
its
used
as
managed
workspace,
with
a
focus
on
the
creative
and
digital
sectors.
J
This
funding
was
in
part
based
on
the
principle
of
800
000
pounds
coming
from
the
esif
funding
and
500
000
pounds
of
council
funding
being
repaid
by
the
unity
property
services
limited
who
would
be
the
lead
tenant
for
the
premises
and
now
to
move
that
project
forward.
This
report
seeks
the
principal
agreement
to
the
executive
board
to
a
peppercorn
lease
for
a
period
of
15
years
with
unity
repaying
the
500
000
pounds
of
our
capital
investment
over
the
term
of
the
lease
via
a
separate
agreement.
But
that's
the
essence
of
the
council
like.
B
E
Yeah
very
briefly,
the
only
question
I
have
is
have
we
properly
assessed
the
corporate
risk
to
the
council,
because
we've
got
500
000
pounds
invested
here
and
if
martin
would
rather
deal
with
that
below
the
line,
I'm
happy
to
wait
until
we
do
that.
J
Well,
I
think
that
the
the
in
principle
answer
counselor
carter,
is
that
we
would
go
through
the
same
due
diligence
process
in
terms
of
unity,
property
services
that
we
would
for
any
organisation
and
we'd,
put
the
appropriate
checks
and
balances
in
place
in
terms
of
that
investment,
which
ultimately
is
investment
into
a
council
asset
that
we
are
the
freehold
owner
off.
E
Yeah,
so
so
sorry,
so,
although
we're
clearly
being
extremely
helpful
in
terms
of
keeping
this
moving
forward-
and
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
that-
we
are
not
using
any
less
stringent
assessments
of
the
risk
to
the
council.
E
J
No,
that's
that's
correct
carter.
Thank
you.
G
Sorry
chair,
I
was
looking
at
the
papers.
I
know
that
this
investment
was
enabled
by
significant
european
money
which
we
were
able
to
access
because
we
went
into
the
transition
period
for
two
years.
I
note
that
in
the
last
paper
we
discussed
brexit
and
the
government's
response
to
it.
I
understand
that
their
uk
shared
prosperity
fund,
which
is
meant
to
be
replacing
or
supposedly
even
better
than
the
european
money
we've
had
access
to
this
year.
That's
not
coming
in
until
2022
are
we
able
to
bid
for
stuff
before
then
chair?
G
B
J
Well,
we'll
be
eligible
to
bid
at
the
point
that
they
open
up
that
that
source
of
funding,
I
don't
think
it's
been
opened
as
as
yet
council.
Councillor
blake,
I
mean
this.
This
funding
is
through
the
ecif
fund,
it's
in
the
final
stages
of
the
appraisal
and
we're
expecting
that
to
be
concluded
any
day.
I
think
in
the
interim,
the
the
mechanisms
will
be
things
like
the
gain
share
through
the
combined
authority.
J
B
Right
can
I
take
control
of
this
discussion
and
move
us
forward
to
agreeing
the
recommendations
of
the
paper.
Thank
you
for
your
input,
and
can
we
now
move
on
to
the
resources
portfolio?
Council
lewis,
please.
C
Thank
you
leader,
I'm
just
gonna
have
to
gather
myself
after
council
carter's
comments.
It's
it's
triggered
all
sorts
of
worrying
images.
My
first
paper
is
the
financial
health
monitoring
month,
seven
of
this
year
as
usual.
This
is
a
paper
that
we
receive
every
month
that
sets
out
our
financial
position
against
the
budget
headlines
and
and
as
always,
there
is
the
wealth
of
information
towards
the
end
of
the
paper.
C
I'm
going
to
restrict
myself
in
opening
comments
just
to
the
recommendations
which
are
on
page
two
leading
into
page
three
and
the
two
significant
recommendations
that
are
here
is
that,
first
of
all
that
we
release
the
reserve
held
within
marion
house,
and
the
detail
is
set
out
in
the
paper
later
on
to
contribute
towards
closing
our
covered
funding
gap
for
this
year,
and
the
consequence
of
that
is
the
recommendation
in
b
that
we
or
we
have
withdrawn
our
request
for
a
capitalization
directive
to
the
government,
and
this
means
that,
despite
everything,
we've
dealt
with
as
a
council
this
year
we
can
balance
our
budget
using
our
own
resources.
C
There
is,
there
is
a
a
cost
to
the
council
in
the
years
ahead.
From
drawing
down
the
merion
house
reserve,
but
again
we'd
have
to
be
clear
that,
had
we
been
successful
in
the
capitalization
directive,
there
would
have
been
repayment
costs
for
the
borrowing
that
that
in
incurred.
So
I
think
this
is
a.
It
is
not
a
perfect
situation.
I
don't
think
anybody
would
pretend
it
would
it.
C
It
is,
but
we've
quite
clearly
been
able
to
balance
this
year's
budget
using
our
own
resources,
and
I
think
that
again
is
is
a
good
position
for
the
council
to
be,
and
it
means
there
is
no
longer
any
uncertainty
about
funding
for
this
year's
budget,
and
it
means
that
we
can
continue
to
plan
for
next
year's
budget.
Again,
like
I
said,
without
any
additional
uncertainty.
E
Yeah
all's
been
said
really
that
the
only
question
around
the
I
mean
we
clearly
we
need
the
25
million
reserve,
which
was
reserved
for
a
particular
purpose
to
balance
the
budget
this
year.
E
My
only
question
is
this:
grant
thornton
our
external
auditors,
certainly
as
of
monday,
had
not
signed
this
off
now.
I'd
like
the
good
news
now
that
they
have
signed
it
off,
but
if
they
haven't
signed
it
off
and
they
don't
sign
it
off.
What
happens
then,.
D
Thank
you,
council
blake.
The
external
auditors
are
actually
having
a
we've,
had
a
hot
review
of
our
accounts
and
they
knew
to
double
need
to
send
everything
off
to
the
head
office.
Just
to
get
it
signed
off.
The
risk
is
minimum
that
it
wouldn't
be
signed
off
and
that's
been
following
discussions
with
external
audit.
If
the
very
unlikely
case
was
that
they
didn't
sign
it
off,
it
would
be
classified
as
capital
expenditure
and
therefore
we
would
do
a
switch.
D
So
we
have
got
a
plan
b,
but
obviously
we
would
like
it
to
be
the
accounting
entries
that
we've
we've
put
forward
to
grant
thornton.
So
I
don't
see
that
to
be
a
risk
on
the
out
term
position
for
the
council.
Thank
you,
chair.
B
Okay,
thank
you.
Councillor.
G
Golton
thanks
chair
most
of
my
concerns,
I've
mentioned
month
or
month,
executive
board.
So
I
won't
repeat
myself
again
on
a
more
positive
note.
I
I
I
just
like
to
emphasize
that
the
reason
why
we've
been
able
to
get
towards
a
balanced
position
this
year,
given
all
of
the
rollercoaster
ride
that
we've
had
financially
and
the
assurances
from
central
government
and
and
expectations
that
come
across
as
and
even
the
things
like,
the
super
inflation
rate
for
ppe
at
the
beginning
of
the
year.
G
We
have
actually
managed
to
come
out
of
it
on
the
other
side,
by
the
looks
of
it
through
our
own
local
entrepreneurship,
and
if
it
wasn't
for
that
kind
of
creativity
at
a
local
level
up
and
down
the
country,
I
would
think
the
government
would
be
an
even
bigger
mess
in
terms
of
bailing
out
local
government.
So
I
I
breathe
a
sigh
of
relief
at
this,
but
not
at
any
great
measure
of
reassurance.
C
No,
I
think
that
was
a
compliment
from
councillor
golden
and
I'll,
shall
I
shall
take
it
as
such
an
end
on
that
positive
note.
Thank
you,
leader,.
B
Good,
thank
you.
Can
we
approve
the
recommendations
of
item
10
and
move
on
to
your
next
paper
item
11.
Please.
K
C
It's
relates
to
the
site
surrounding
the
arena
on
clay
pit
on
clay
pit
lane,
and
the
proposal
is
that
we
swap
land
that
we
currently
own
would
land
adjacent
to
the
former
yorkshire
bank
headquarters,
which
would
be
a
which
would
be
done
at
no
net
loss
to
the
council
and
would
give
us
options
in
the
future
to
work
with
future
owners
of
the
yorkshire
bank,
former
yorkshire
bank,
building
in
terms
of
bringing
that
forward
for
more
complimentary
uses
for
the
arena.
C
I
think
again
it's
the
potential
is
greater,
even
though
the
proposal
in
the
paper
is
a
is
a
straightforward
landscape
leader.
I
don't
know
if
martin
farrington
has
anything
to
add
to
that,
and
I
know
we
have
a
a
pink
paper
as
well.
That
comes
with
this
report.
J
Yeah
I
mean
the
the
the
nature
of
the
land
swap
that's
outlined
in
the
paper
council
of
lake.
Is
that
the
plans
on
page
223?
J
We
would
exchange
site
a
that
we
own,
which
would
be
subject
to
suitable
planning
consent
and
in
return
we
would
receive
site
c
and
taken
with
site
b
that
we
own
this
adjacent
to
site
c.
We
would
assemble
a
large
plot
that
could
be
brought
forward
for
complementary
uses
to
the
arena,
which
is
a
proposal
that
we
would
then
secure
through
the
in
principle
for
through
the
principles
that
are
outlined
in
this
paper,
so
that
that's
the
essence
of
it.
In
the
details
in
the
pins
canceled.
B
Thank
you
thanks.
Martin
councillor
carter,.
E
Yes,
chad,
I'm
not
entirely
happy
with
this
and
I'll
say
more
on
the
pink
papers.
When
we
go
into
closed
session,
I
mean
I
understand,
entirely
the
rationale
behind
wanting
to
combine
sites
b
and
c,
because
they
make
a
more
compact
and
and
and
useful
development
plot.
E
But
we
mustn't
lose
the
lose
sight
of
the
fact
that
plot
a
is
in
an
extremely
influential
position
in
terms
of
the
arena,
and
so
I
would,
I
don't
want
to
see
us
lose
total
control
of
site
a
and
what
may
go
on
it,
because
it's
all
right,
saying
that
plots,
b
and
c
would
be
complementary
to
the
arena,
but
plot
a
needs
to
be
complementary
to
the
arena
in
some
way,
shape
or
form,
and
so,
when
we
move
into
the
pink
papers.
E
I
want
some
significant
reassurance
on
that
and
I'll
leave
it
at
that
for
the
moment.
But
it's
yeah
it's
an
interesting
proposition.
We'll
put
it
like
that.
J
I
think
more
about,
I
think
my
comment
council
of
late
would
be
the
the
principle
of
development
of
those
sites
is
outlined
in
the
paper
and
were
considerations
plans
panel
when
the
arena
came
forward
and
there's
a
question
for
us
in
terms
of
if
we
want
to
affect
the
land
swap
that
would
be
dependent
on
a
planning
consent
that
the
council
would
have
to
give
if
it
was
comfortable
with
it
for
any
scheme
proposal
that
came
forward.
B
G
B
Okay,
so
then
can
we
agree
the
recommendations
and
we'll
discuss
below
the
line
and
then
move
on
to
councilman
herron's
portfolio
for
item
12.
The
allocation
is
planned.
Please.
K
K
Airborne
neighbourhood
development
forum
then
submitted
a
legal
challenge
in
relation
to
four
greenbelt
sites
proposed
for
housing
within
their
housing
market
characteristic
area.
On
seven
grounds,
the
high
court
found
that
three
grounds
constituted
areas
of
law
within
the
independence
inspector's
report
and
disordered
that
they
be
resolved.
K
The
three
legal
errors
were
legally
deficient
reasons
in
the
inspectors
report,
just
to
find
the
release
of
the
specific
green
belt
sites
and
an
error
effect
in
the
inspector's
report
related
into
the
increase
in
supply
of
housing,
mainly
in
the
city
centre.
During
the
process,
none
of
the
three
grounds
found
that
the
city
council
itself
proceeded
unlawfully
or
took
a
legally
flawed
approach
to
the
site
allocations
plan.
K
So
the
purpose
of
the
report
today,
that
is,
to
inform
an
executive
board
of
the
work
undertaken
since
the
legal
judgements
relating
to
this
identification's
planned
strategy
challenge
and
the
requirements
for
the
remittance
of
the
site
allocations
plans
to
the
secretary
of
state
following
an
update
of
the
housing
land
supply.
It's
proposed
that
these
37
greenbelt
sites
are
removed
as
allocations
from
the
site
allocations
plan
on
the
basis
that
leeds
now
has
sufficient
land
to
meet
its
housing
needs
to
2028
without
the
need
for
greenbelt's
release.
K
Executive
board
is
asked
to
note
the
resolution
of
development
plans
panel
that
met
last
friday,
asking
us
to
approve
the
main
modifications
to
the
sites
allocations
plan,
which
is
set
out
in
the
lengthy
appendices
reports
deleting
the
sites
as
allocations
and
leaving
them
in
the
green
belts
and
for
public
consultation
with
acceptable
to
begin
in
early
january.
The
consultation
will
be
supported
by
a
background
paper
and
frequently
asked
questions
that
will
help
to
guide
local
people
through
what
is
a
complicated
process.
K
B
E
Yes,
thank
you.
I
have
no
intention
of
going
through
the
whole
debate
of
this
again,
but
suffice
it
to
say
37
sites
that
some
of
us
argue
ought
not
to
be
developed
are
now
anyway
are
now
proposed
to
go
back
in
the
green
belt
following
a
high
court
judgment.
Understand
that
entirely.
E
So
we,
after
six
weeks
and
and
I
think
I
hope,
we'll
see
some
fairly
robust
responses
from
the
council
to
any
developers
who
start
to
try
and
argue
that
these
sites
should
be
put
back
in
the
housing
allocations,
but
are
more
concerned
about
three
or
four
particular
schemes
and
I'm
not
going
to
single
them
out,
but
they're
all
schemes
across
the
city.
E
E
E
There
are
a
couple
of
others
and
I'm
not
going
to
mention
those
by
name,
but
I've
already
raised
them
with
martin
farrington
and
with
martin
elliot
one,
where
there's
a
mixed
use
and
that's
in
outer
east
and
another,
where
it's
specialist,
elderly
people's
accommodation,
but
they
all
have
peculiarities
and
have
had
discussions
between
the
council
with
developers
but
I'll,
be
asking
in
writing
for
clarity
on
those
sites.
E
But
I
would
like
an
answer
on
the
city
college
campus,
because
it's
caused
a
great
deal
of
concern,
quite
understandably
with
local
residents,
that
all
of
a
sudden,
the
site
on
the
surface
had
been
returned
to
the
green
belt
by
a
high
court.
Judge
was
then
judged
to
have
be
suitable
for
housing
by
a
plans
panel
of
elite
city
council.
B
Okay,
should
I
bring
in
martin.
J
On
this
yeah
well,
thank
you
casper
blake,
I
mean
david
feeney
is.
B
B
I
couldn't
see
them
on
my
screen
so
david.
Would
you
like
to
come
in.
A
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you,
martin.
Yes,
just
just
to
clarify
the
position
on
on
this
site,
there's
been
a
planning
application
submitted
to
the
council,
which
has
been
considered
under
very
special
circumstances,
and
the
application
which
hasn't
yet
been
determined
on
the
horseworth
campus
site
was
an
application
for
100,
affordable
housing
scheme,
and
such
a
proposal
is
allowed
for
in
national
planning
guidance
and
the
application
was
sort
of
considered
on
the
merits
in
terms
of
the
exceptions
test
under
the
mppf
within
that
sort
of
particular
case,
so
that
application
is
working
through
the
system.
A
I
understand
that
the
application
hasn't
yet
been
determined.
There
are
still
discussions
underway
regarding
design
matters
in
relation
to
that
site,
but
it
is
permitted
for
the
council
to
consider
applications
under
very
special
circumstances
in
relation
to
the
merits
of
individual
schemes.
A
B
Okay,
thank
you
to
come
back.
A
You
follow
me
yeah,
I
can
respond
chair
if
that
would
be
helpful.
Yes,
please,
my
understanding
is
it
wouldn't
fall,
because
the
application
has
been
considered
on
its
merits
in
relation
to
the
very
special
circumstances,
but
it
would
not
fall
as
a
decision
at
that
point.
E
It
seems
an
extreme
chair,
it
seems
a
very
peculiar
thing
to
me
to
be
advertising
for
general
public
comment
sites
going
back
into
the
green
belt.
That's
the
premise,
and
in
point
of
fact
what
mr
phoenix
saying
is
given
the
behavior
of
the
plans
panel
on
the
application.
They
have
already
seen
that
that
whatever
the
public
says
irrelevant.
B
Well,
presumably,
your
following
planning
guidance,
david.
A
Yes,
on
on
this
point
chair,
the
there
are
are
two
processes
underway
in
parallel:
there's
a
plan
making
process
which
is
described
in
the
report
in
relation
to
the
remitta
of
the
37
sites,
and
in
parallel
with
that,
we've
received
a
planning
application
which
is
being
looked
at
through
the
council's
responsibilities
for
decision
taking.
So
we
are
obliged
to
consider
proposals
which
are
in
front
of
us
and
in
terms
of
this
particular
application.
A
That's
set
out
in
the
report
that
went
to
the
plans
panel,
the
national
planning
framework
does
allow
for
this
form
of
development,
so
that
has
been
set
out
in
the
report
and
the
principle
has
been
accepted
through
that
panel.
The
matters
that
are
outstanding
now
relate
to
issues
in
relation
to
design,
rather
than
the
principle
of
the
development.
B
Okay,
but
perhaps
we
could
we
could
have
that
explanation
in
writing
david.
We.
B
Do
you
know
just
getting
that
real
unders?
So
it's
very
clear
to
members
exactly
how
the
planning
process
works
in
these
particular
circumstances.
That
would
be
helpful.
B
Okay,
thank
you
councillor
galton,
do
you
have
any
comments
that
you'd
like
to
make.
G
Yes,
thanks
chair
a
couple
of
areas
really.
First
of
all,
it's
very
welcome
news
that
the
land,
which
is
sorry
the
the
development
land
which
has
gone
back
into
the
greenbelt,
is
now
confirmed
as
the
council's
preferred
option.
But
it
was,
I
have
to
say,
a
little
bit
of
a
shock
to
those
of
us.
G
Who'd
spent
so
long
having
to
fight
for
that
outcome,
to
be
achieved,
that
the
council
so
very
easily
succumbed
to
agreeing
with
what
many
local
communities
had
been
advocating
for
so
long
and
which
the
council
had
discounted
for
just
as
long,
and
it
raises
two
questions
for
me
and
and
the
first
one
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
the
council
feels
that
it's
able
to
do
so
is
because
of
the
amount
of
development
which
has
occurred,
some
of
which
is
on
sites
that
the
council
identified
for
development,
but
a
lot
of
which
are
actually
on
sites
which
weren't
on
our
allocation
plan,
because
they
already
had
buildings
on
them
and
those
have
been
demolished
and
then
rebuilt
to
provide
housing.
G
Some
of
it
is
student
accommodation
and
if
it's
student
accommodation,
it
means
that
no
affordable
housing
is
associated
with
that
development.
And
if
it's
in
the
city
center
housing
development,
then
only
seven
percent
of
what
is
produced
is
affordable,
housing
and,
more
often
than
not
that
isn't
actually
provided
on
site.
It
is
given
to
the
council
as
a
commuted
sum,
and
I
believe
that
six
of
such
developments
have
delivered
around
about
3.8
million
pounds
worth,
but
that
affordable
housing
can
only
be
delivered
in
the
area
where
the
original
development
is
delivered.
G
So
that's
the
first
question
and
then
the
second
question
is
chair:
has
the
council
become
so
relaxed
about
defending
its
green
belt
housing
growth
sites
due
to
the
portent
of
the
planning
for
the
future
changes
that
the
government
is
bringing
in
where
the
government
will
be
taking
away
spatial
powers
from
local
authorities
and
directing
them
more
centrally
from
westminster?
G
G
What
do
you
think
about
the
status
of
our
green
belt,
given
the
announcement
this
week
that
the
government
is
to
change
its
housing
growth,
algorithms
to
be
focused
more
on
the
biggest
20
cities
in
the
country,
as
opposed
to
where
it
was
originally,
which
was
the
rolling
fields
of
the
south,
east
and
south
west,
and
what
impact
that
could
have
on
us
and
our
housing
targets
and
planning
thanks
chair.
B
There's
quite
a
lot
in
that
and
obviously
it's
a
changing
situation
on
again,
as
many
things
are
at
this
moment
in
time.
I
don't
know
if
martin,
if
you'd
like
to
come
in
at
this
point
or
david
I'll.
B
J
J
It
is
the
case
that,
in
terms
of
how
we
deliver
that
affordable
housing,
we
we
are
in
a
good
place
in
terms
of
some
of
the
developers
in
the
city
centre.
At
the
moment,
you
may
be
aware
that
the
guinness
partnership
as
a
affordable
housing
provider
acquired
the
evans
household
site
and
we're
working
closely
with
them
in
terms
of
the
brownfield
housing
fund
for
the
delivery
of
311,
affordable
housing
houses.
We
should
start
next
year.
J
You
probably
also
recall
that
we
are
bringing
forward
our
own
land
to
deliver
affordable
housing
in
the
city
centre.
So
two
sites
that
are
due
to
go
into
planning
imminently
is
saint
cecilia
street,
which
is
adjacent
to
quarry
quarry
house
and
the
the
development
that's
taking
place
there
and
close
by
the
yorkshire
rider
site
and
combined.
J
They
will
deliver
a
further
120,
affordable
housing
units
and
what
we
will
be
able
to
do.
Picking
up
on
the
3.8
million
of
commuted
sums
that
you
outlined
is
apply.
Those
commuted
sums
to
schemes
like
that
that
will
enable
them
to
go
from
an
80,
affordable,
rent
to
a
social
rent.
So
in
terms
of
increasing
the
affordability
of
those
homes
close
to
the
city
centre
and
then
moving
forward
from
there.
J
Clarion
housing
association
have
recently
bought
the
city
reach
site
on
coastal
road
and
as
the
largest
housing
association
in
the
country,
they
are
keen
to
bring
that
scheme
forward
with
a
level
of
affordable
housing.
That
is
much
more
than
the
seven
percent
policy
compliant
position
and
they're,
looking
initially
to
try
and
achieve
above
30
percent.
Affordable
housing
on
that
site
and
it's
a
site
that
will
promote,
will
will
be
able
to
sustain
quite
a
dense
form
of
development.
J
So,
whilst
the
scheme
hasn't
come
forward
yet
that
would
be
quite
a
sizable
number
of
affordable
units.
So
I
think
you're
right
in
your
general
point
about
seven
percent
being
lower
in
the
city
centre,
but
I
think
we
can
balance
that
against
the
opportunities
that
we
face
with
some
of
the
housing
association
interest
in
the
form
of
clarion
housing,
guinness
partnership
and
our
own
activity
that
we're
bringing
forward
in
the
city
centre.
J
In
terms
of
the
algorithm
point,
councillor
dalton,
you're,
right
that
that
was
announced
through
a
press
release
from
nhclg
through
the
secretary
of
state
by
the
secretary
of
state
this
morning.
At
the
time
that
this
meeting
started.
There
was
no
further
detail
that
we'd
received
on
that.
But
I'm
happy
to
see
if
martin
can
add
anything.
I
Thank
you,
martin
thank
you
leader,
just
just
to
clarify,
in
terms
of
the
the
portfolio
of
housing
opportunities
within
leeds
for
executive
board
members.
This.
This
means
that
between
now
and
up
to
2028,
which
is
the
end
of
the
sap
plan
period,
we've
got
just
over
20
000
homes
within
the
city
centre
and
the
inner
area.
I
But
we
do
have
fifteen
thousand
homes
that
are
within
the
outer
areas
of
leeds
and
they
will
deliver
between
fifteen
and
thirty
five
percent,
affordable
housing.
So
there
still
remains
a
range
of
different
opportunities
within
the
city
council
and
in
terms
of
the
planning
white
paper,
the
council
did
send
a
detailed
response
to
mhclg
on
those
proposals,
but
as
as
yet
counsellor
there's
been
no
further
detail
on
what
those
proposals
mean
and
within
the
the
plan
making
side
of
things
within
the
council.
I
That
is
a
legal
statutory
process
and
it
can't
be
preempted
by
what
might
be
within
national
guidance
we
have
to.
We
are
limited
and
bound
by
what
is
currently
within
statutory
guidance.
B
Thank
you.
I
I,
I
fear
it
would
be
a
useful
exercise
if
we
went
through
the
changes
in
that
guidance
over
the
last
several
years
in
terms
of
their
numbers.
I
I
think
that
I'd
find
that
a
very
helpful
exercise
actually
in
terms
of
what
we've
been
expected
to
do
as
a
city
to
be
quite
fun
and-
and
I
think
the
idea
that
this
has
all
been
down
to
local
activity
needs
to
be
really
blown
out
of
the
water
once
and
for
all.
B
If
I
you
know,
if
I
can
be
so
bold
councillor
carter,
do
you
want
to
come
back
in
before
I've
been
counselling
nor
herrera.
E
Yes,
I
do
if
you
visit
the
ministry
of
housing
and
local
government
website,
you
will
see
the
announcement
from
the
secretary
of
state
which
councillor
gartner
partly
referred
to.
It
runs
for
some
number
of
paragraphs,
and
it
particularly
perhaps
the
most
one
of
the
most
interesting
is
a
reset
of
the
calculations.
E
The
government
does
for
support
for
affordable
housing
being
skewed
towards,
indeed,
housing,
initiatives
skewed
between
london
and
the
south
east
and
the
north,
and
it
proposes
to
alter
that
skewing
to
give
more
support
to
the
20
large
cities,
of
which
leads
is
one,
and
it's
set
out
in
the
in
the
statement
for
all
to
read,
and
it
would
be
useful.
E
E
It
fascinates
me
that
we've
now
got
this
sudden
interest
in
planning
from
councillor
golden
who
seems
to
have
confused
the
consultation
on
this
particular
matter
with
the
consultation
that
has
yet
to
be
reported
back
on
on
planning
delivery,
spatial
strategy
and
the
rest
of
it.
E
The
two
separate
two
separate
things,
but
I
suspect
indeed
I
think
it's
highly
likely
that
today
or
tomorrow
there
will
be
further
clarity
with
ministerial
statements
on
housing
numbers
and,
of
course,
as
as
you're
well
aware,
the
government's
current
housing
methodology
suggests
a
much
lower
housing
number
for
leads
down
the
council's
original
plan
or
its
revised
plan,
and
my
understanding
is
the
council
made
submissions
and
I've
seen
a
copy.
So
I
know
it's
correct,
pointing
out
to
the
government
that
their
algorithm
doesn't
take
into
account
economic
growth.
E
I'm
sure
you
follow
what
I
mean.
I
mean
we
all
along
you've,
justified
your
figures
on
statistics
around
economic
growth,
which
a
lot
of
us
have
disputed.
E
The
economic
growth
figure
is
now
obviously
substantially
less,
but
nevertheless
still
there
and
and
certainly
the
council
in
its
submission,
which
was
not
sent
by
the
way
by
the
development
plan
panel,
but
by
officers.
Presumably,
talking
to
council
mill
herring
made
particular
reference
to
the
need
for
the
government's
algorithm
to
take
into
account
economic
growth,
and,
if
that's
what's
happened,
then
the
numbers,
the
government
numbers
will
go
up.
B
K
I'm
sure
this
isn't
the
final
bit
of
the
debate
that
we'll
be
having
on
this,
but
I
think
that
was
a
very
valiant
effort
from
council
carter
to
shift
responsibility
from
the
governments
to
leads
to
council
what
robert
jerick
announced
today
was
another
amendment
to
the
government's
intended
standard
methodology
for
housing,
which
suggests
that
the
top
20
cities
and
the
north
will
be
leveled
up
by
an
algorithm
working
in
favor
of
more
housing
in
these
areas
in
favor
of
these
areas,
as
opposed
to
torrey
shires
and
the
south
east
of
the
country.
K
There's
no
detail
as
yet,
as
martin
said
about
whether
these
areas
will
be
deliberately
skewed
or
simply
reflects
the
populations
that
we
have.
But
it's
the
fourth
time
in
ten
years
that
the
government
has
fundamentally
changed
the
method
for
calculating
local
housing
needs,
which
is
not
conducive
to
long-term
strategic
planning
and
has
also
made
it
more
difficult
for
the
council
to
set
numbers
and
find
sites
to
deliver
them.
So
I
don't
think
we'll
be
taking
any
lectures
from
council
carter
or
his
government.
K
Although
we
do
wait
with
great
interest
to
see
what
robert
generic's
proposals
actually
mean
for
us,.
B
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
that
summary.
Can
we
agree
the
recommendations
please
for
this
paper?
Can
I
just
give
notice
that
if
we
are
still
carrying
on
with
the
agenda
at
three
o'clock
that
we
take
a
comfort
break
at
three
o'clock
for
five
minutes,
we
do
still
have
some
substantial
items
on
the
agenda
to
get
through
and
moving
on
to
your
next
item
councilman
herron
on
molly.
B
Could
I
take
this
opportunity
to
welcome
gerald
jennings,
who
has
gone
above
and
beyond
and
sat
through
the
executive
board
meeting
this
far?
So
it's
great
to
see
you
on
the
call
gerald,
I
obviously
missed
meeting
you
in
person
over
the
last
few
months,
but
I
know
you've
been
very
active
in
many
areas
as
as
normal,
and
so
can
I
just
thank
you
for
coming
on
the
call
for
this
item
in
your
role
as
chair.
B
I
think,
if
I
could
hand
over
to
councilman
herron,
though,
to
introduce
the
paper
and
then
she'll
hand
over
to
you
for
your
contribution.
Thank
you.
K
K
In
march
2020,
a
report
was
presented
to
executive
board,
outlining
an
approach
to
developing
a
town
investment
plan
and
the
boundary
of
the
area
that
would
be
covered
by
that
we've
established
a
town
deal
board
to
oversee
the
work
to
develop.
An
ambitious
and
visionary
bid
to
present
to
the
government's
towns
fund
supports
the
programme
of
capital
regeneration
projects
in
morley.
K
These
projects
have
the
potential
to
deliver
major,
inclusive
growth,
development
benefits
for
the
town
and
the
wider
local
economy,
and
I'm
delighted
that
we're
joined
today,
as
the
leaders
already
said
by
the
independent
chair
of
the
monotone
deal
board.
General
jennings.
Before
I
hand
over
the
question
board,
is
asked
to
note
the
content
of
the
report
to
agree
the
emerging
vision
for
a
town
investment
plan
in
molly
and
the
priority
objectives
of
the
funding
program
that's
listed
in
it.
K
It's
also
requested
that
the
decision
is
exempt
from
calling,
because
we
have
very
tight
government's
deadlines
to
meet
for
submitting
that
plan
and
then,
if,
if
they
so
get
me
to
do
so,
chair,
if
I
can
hand
over
to
gerald
to
add
to
that
introduction.
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you,
council,
blake
and
council
mulheran
and
good
afternoon
councillors,
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
let
me
say
a
few
words
for
a
few
minutes.
I've
actually
enjoyed
the
last
hour
and
a
half
councillor
listening.
L
L
The
board
have
moved
very
quickly.
I
think
it's
fair
to
say,
to
discuss
the
themes,
the
objectives
and
the
key
strategic
priorities
for
morley,
based
on
the
economic
baseline
research
carried
out
by
mcdonald,
and
I
think,
there's
a
paper
that
you've
all
seen
relating
to
that
work.
We've
had
to
act
with
some
pace
in
progressing
our
thoughts
and
our
discussions
given
the
time
scale
and
the
need
to
submit
the
town
investment
plan
to
government
by
the
31st
of
january
next
year
we
have
been-
and
I
I
just
would
like
to
paint
compliments.
L
Actually
we
have
been
very
ably
advised
by
the
council
officers
and
and
they've
done,
an
excellent
job.
Actually,
it's
I
think
they've
gone
over
and
above,
as
you
referred
to
earlier,
on,
council
of
lake,
so
my
thanks
to
them
for
the
work.
Today's
actually
progress
today
includes
developing
a
draft
vision
for
morley.
L
L
Alongside
that,
we've
developed
a
we've
developed
towards
a
draft
final
town
investment
plan,
which
includes
key
themes,
and
I
think,
as
noted
in
the
report
around
health
and
well-being
around
climate
emergency
around
connectivity
in
its
wider
context,
and
particularly
around
skills
and
education
and
place
making,
and
not
just
in
the
town
center,
but
on
the
outskirts
of
the
town,
and
indeed
through
throughout
the
whole
geography
of
the
town
of
investment
plan
and
just
in
terms
of
the
geography
I
just
like
to
say.
L
I
thought
it
was
very
insightful
in
the
summer
of
this
year
before,
I
actually
joined
the
board
to
extend
the
boundary
of
the
town
investment
plan
to
include
three
of
the
major
economic
assets
at
capitol
park
at
white
rose
office
park
and
at
white
road
shopping
center.
L
I
think
that
was
really
very
helpful
in
putting
the
our
thoughts
together
and
as
a
consequence
of
that,
I've
had
some
very
positive
discussions
with
the
likes
of
david
aspin
at
the
office
park
and
more
recently,
indeed,
yesterday
was
sir
bob
murray
at
capitol
park,
and
both
white
rose
office
park
and
capitol
park
have
ambitious
plans
to
extend
and
develop
out,
and
both
subarb
and
david
aspin
are
really
enthusiastic
about
joining
what
we
intend
on
what
we're
trying
to
do
at
morley,
and
they
want
to
be
an
inherent
and
integral
part
of
our
of
our
future,
and
I
think,
that's
really
plays
into
the
strength
of
what
we're
trying
to
achieve,
and
one
idea
that
we've
had
as
a
result
of
that
and
and
as
a
result
of
speaking
to
some
key
education
providers,
particularly
the
luminate
education
group,
lead
city
college
is
how
we
might
establish
a
skills,
amali
skills
partnership,
both
munro
kay
david
aspin
and
sir
bob
murray,
would
like
to
be
a
part
of
that.
L
The
board
are
very
confident
that
we
are
working
towards
what
will
be
a
compelling
town
investment
plan
and
rebase
morley
and
make
it
fit
for
the
future
over
the
next
five
10
15
20
years
and
and
beyond,
and
we
believe
with
building
a
genuine
consensus
and
collaboration.
The
public
consultation
has
been,
I
think,
exemplary.
L
In
fact,
we
had
over
1
500
responses
from
the
public
in
terms
of
positive
contributions,
albeit
there
would
have
been
one
or
two
negative
ones
in
that
one
500,
but
the
vast
majority
have
been
positive
and
have
validated
the
themes
and
the
objectives
that
the
board
have
been
working
to,
and
I
think
we're
in
good
shape
to
submit
a
plan
by
the
end
of
january
2020,
and
I
will
continue
to
welcome
the
council's
support
for
what
we're
trying
to
achieve
in
morally
for
its
future.
B
Thank
you
that,
through
that
very
interesting
summary
gerald
really
look
forward
to
talking
some
more
about
this
and
the
whole
approach
and
you've
got
you've,
obviously
attracting
some
really
quite
significant
people
into
the
mix.
So
thank
you
for
that
carter
isn't
on
his
screen
at
the
moment,
I'll
go
to
counselor
golden.
If
you'd
like
to
make
any
comment.
First,
council
goldson.
Yes,
thanks.
G
Chair
this
is
a
real
good
news
story
for
morley,
and
the
paper
outlines
some
really
exciting
opportunities
that
are
being
made
available
to
the
town,
and
it's
really
good
to
see
someone
as
well
someone
with
such
a
good
track
record
of
effectively
bringing
together
the
public
and
private
sectors
as
gerald
jennings
chairing
the
board.
So
I
I'm
very
encouraged
by
this
paper.
G
The
only
it's
bittersweet,
though,
because
there
is
a
shadow
over
it
in
terms
of
how
you
end
up
benefiting
from
the
town's
fund
where
it's
effectively
a
ministerial
lottery,
and
it
would
be
really
nice
to
see
this
level
of
focus
being
delivered
a
little
bit
more
universally
across
most
of
the
towns
that
we
have
in
our
area.
That
need
some
help,
and
hopefully
this
can
end
up
being
a
model
which
can
then
deliver
significant
and
multiple
benefits
to
other
parts.
G
So
as
somebody
from
a
town
who
isn't
going
to
benefit
from
25
million
queen
and
all
of
the
stuff
that's
mentioned
in
this
paper,
which
would
go
down
great
in
any
community,
I
I
wish
you
all
the
luck
in
the
world
and-
and
I
look
forward
to
a
time
when
that
level
of
funding
could
be
potentially
multiplied
thanks
chair.
Thank
you.
E
E
Again,
it's
great
news
and-
and
we
we
shouldn't-
be
really
mouthed
about
it.
Of
course,
we'd
love
to
see
this
sort
of
initiative
rolled
out
into
all
the
towns
that
make
up
leeds
instead
of
everything
going
to
the
city
centre.
The
government
has
set
up
this
scheme.
I
think
specifically,
because
so
many
members
of
parliament
representing,
shall
we
call
them
outer
areas
have
said
you
know
we
have
economies
that
could
be
really
boosted
and
local
towns
that
could
be
really
boosted
with
a
scheme
like
this.
E
So
I'm
delighted
that
absolutely
delighted
that
the
people
of
morley
have
come
come
together.
E
They
are
the
ones
who
shape
and
influence
what
happens,
and
this
document
is
is
extremely
encouraging
in
that
respect
and
I've
had,
as
you
would
expect,
discussions
with
elected
representatives
from
the
area
who,
who
are
very,
very
positive
about
the
way
it's
progressing
gerald
you'll,
be
pleased
to
know
that,
because,
as
these
schemes
are
rolled
out,
morley
has
the
opportunity
of
being
a
major
flagship
for
the
for
the
for
the
government's
program
and
the
more
success
it
has
the
better,
because
we
can
learn
from
it
and
hopefully
get
more
of
these
schemes
in
more
of
our
towns
around
leeds.
K
Thank
you
just
think,
it's
very
interesting
to
hear
the
comments
from
catskills
from
council
and
just
also
notes,
councillor
carter's
assurance
that
there'll
be
more
such
schemes
rolled
out
by
his
government
in
the
future,
recognizing
that
they
represent
outer
areas,
and
so
maybe
stuart.
K
Who
knows
ruffle
may
be
lucky
enough
to
be
selected
by
the
minister
next
time,
but
in
the
in
the
meantime,
really
just
wants
to
welcome
the
investment
in
the
elites
districts
that
is
going
to
be
coming
to
morley
thank
gerald
and
the
monotone
deal
board
and
the
officers
that
are
supporting
it
for
the
work
that
they're
doing
and
look
forward,
hopefully
to
a
successful
submission
from
the
town
investment
plan.
B
Thank
you
can
I
can
I
just
thank
you
again
gerald
for
giving
us
your
time.
You're
very
welcome
stay
with
us,
but
we
will
understand
if
you
do
have
other
things
to
go
on
to,
but
all
the
best
wishes
for
the
season
coming
up
so.
B
Can
I
ask
members
to
approve
the
recommendations
of
item
13.
and
I
think
we
can
move
on
to
item
14
now
before
we
have
a
breakage,
a
very
brief
break
at
three
o'clock.
So
we're
moving
on
to
your
next
paper
council
here
in
the
the
connecting
leads
paper
and
I'm
very
pleased
that
nigel
foster
has
been
able
to
join
us
on
the
the
call
today.
B
K
K
The
consultation
draft
outlines
the
key
challenges
and
opportunities
facing
the
city,
our
big
moves
and
the
huge
challenge
we
face
in
meeting
our
carbon
reduction
targets
for
2013.
In
order
to
achieve
our
city-wide
vision,
the
importance
of
this
strategy
cannot
be
overstated,
it's
integral
to
the
delivery
of
our
inclusive
growth
and
health
and
well-being,
strategies
and
our
action
to
tackle
the
climate
emergency.
K
It
sets
out
our
ambition
to
create
a
better
connected
city
where
people
have
a
greater
choice
of
how
they
can
travel
in
low-carbon
ways
in
a
city
where
you
don't
need
a
car,
with
a
vision
that
no
one
is
killed
or
seriously
injured
on
our
roads
by
2040,
as
we
set
out
to
achieve
a
healthier,
greener
and
more
prosperous
leads
like
you
chair,
I'm
very
pleased
to
welcome
nigel
foster,
particularly
as
I
understand
you
had
some
technical
issues
earlier
in
the
day.
K
So
it's
great
that
you're
able
to
join
us
nigel
chairs,
the
expert
panel
that
supports
the
work
we
do
to
draft
the
transport
strategy
for
leads,
and
if
it's
okay
with
you
chair,
is
it
okay
for
me
to
introduce
nigel
to
you?
Yes,
please
do.
F
Good
afternoon,
council
blake
councilman
herron.
Thank
you
for
kind
words.
On
the
introduction,
I
was
asked
to
say
just
a
few
words
about
the
connecting
leads
panel,
the
work
that
it's
been
doing
and
the
review
that
it
has
undertaken
recently
of
the
draft.
The
draft
transport
strategy
for
for
leads,
which
councilman
herrera
mentioned
for
those
who
many
people
on
the
executive
board,
actually
attend
the
panel
meetings.
F
But
for
those
of
you
who
aren't
familiar
with
the
panel
it,
it
comprises
a
range
of
experienced
people
and
senior
people
from
across
acro
across
the
country
and
they
bring
with
them
a
a
wide
range
of
different
experiences
in
in
both
transport
mobility
and
and
in
place
making,
and
they
include
people
who
are
engaged
in
the
local
communities
within
leeds,
such
as
as
mary
naylor
and
jagdeep
passan.
F
But
it's
also
got
very
senior
operating
people
such
as
rob
mcintosh,
who
is
the
managing
director
for
the
eastern
region
at
network
rail
and
also
people
who
are
in
the
academic
community,
such
as
greg
marsden.
Who
is
the
lead
academic
for
the
d-carbonate
program?
That's
been
funded
by
government.
F
That's
bringing
together
researchers
from
the
university
of
leeds
and
lancaster
in
principle,
but
but
with
other
institutions
to
look
at
changes
in
mobility
and
transport
to
achieve
the
low
carbon
and
zero
ambitions
that
not
just
leads
have
but
many
places
across
the
the
uk,
but
also
in
line
with
the
government's
policy
on
climate
change.
F
The
the
panel's
been
now
in
existence
for
about
four
years,
and
it's
done
a
whole
range
of
activities
with
the
council
and
really
supporting
the
gary
bartlett
and
his
team
that
have
been
developing,
not
just
the
strategy
but
delivering
the
lip
tip
program
and
the
panel
initially
was
set
up
to
help
support
the
lip
tip
program
make
sure
we
could
secure
that
money
of
around
174
million
and
and
importantly,
recognizing
that
that's
also
leveraged
in
quite
significant
investment
from
other
organizations,
including
the
private
sector,
and
it
reviewed
the
projects
and
programs
and
the
risks
associated
with
that
because
actually
was
under
a
very
tight
delivery
pro
period
and-
and
that
has,
I
think,
has
been
successful
in
changing.
F
Leads.
We've
not
necessarily
experienced
some
of
the
benefits
because,
as
some
of
those
programs
have
been
implemented,
we've
been
been
in
this
period
of
of
the
coveted
pandemic.
F
It's
also
reviews
specific
challenges
around
future
mobility
and
also
around
the
station,
and
these
have
all
contributed
to
the
transport
strategy
that
councilman
heron
outlined
in
its
review
of
the
transport
strategy.
The
panel
was
very
positive
about
it
and
I
think
it
felt
it
was
ambitious
and
and
was
setting
a
unique
position
for
leeds
in
comparison
to
many
many
other
cities
in
terms
of
that
level
of
ambition
and
how
it
was
integrated.
F
In
particular,
I
think,
as
councilman
herron
said,
with
the
plans
for
inclusive
growth,
the
ambitions
around
climate
change
and
also
how
it
was
going
to
contribute
to
improving
health
and
well-being,
and
it's
been
working
with
the
other
organizations
that
have
been
set
up
in
the
city,
such
as
the
climate
commission
and
the
extended
inclusive
growth
partnership,
to
make
sure
that,
though
those
policies
are
properly
integrated
with
the
with
the
policies
that
are
being
developed
elsewhere
in
the
in
in
in
the
council
and
in
the
city.
F
I
I
think
it
was
also
complementary
about
how
the
council
has
responded
to,
in
the
short
term,
the
immediate
term
to
the
pandemic
and
some
of
the
policies
that
it's
implemented,
particularly
around
walking
and
cycling
in
the
city,
which
I
think
it
found
being
very
encouraging
and
certainly
has
been
used
by
one
of
the
panel
members
who's,
the
head
of
sustrans
in
the
north
of
england
in
their
work.
F
In
other,
you
know
the
cities,
so
I
think
there's
some
very
strong
examples
that
that
that
the
city
have
been
developing
both
within
the
strategy,
but
also
with
its
active
policies
on
the
ground,
and
there
was
strong
support
also
for
the
comprehensive
program
of
engagement.
It's
one
of
the
best
I've
heard
a
lot
and
I
I
like
gerald
have
been
on
the
on
the
call
and
her.
F
You
know
it's
been
a
very
interesting
debate,
one
of
the
things
I've
heard
on
the
call-
and
this
is
exemplified
by
the
work
as
part
of
the
panel
and
also
as
part
of
the
council's
development
of
the
transport
strategies.
It's
engagement
and
communication
during
the
connecting
news
program.
I
I
can
say
from
all
of
my
experience
that
is
one
of
the
best
engagement
and
consultation
programs.
F
I
have
seen
in
transport
both
the
breadth
or
and
reach
of
the
engagement,
but
also
the
the
amount
of
people
that
have
actually
engaged
and
commented
and
contributed
to
the
development
of
this
of
this
draft
strategy.
And
now,
as
councilman
herrera
said,
we
are
going
out
for
further
engagement,
which
the
panel
is
very
keen
to
support
the
council
on,
as
and
as
has
made
offers
as
individuals
and
as
a
group
to
to
do
that
in
in
wrapping
up.
F
I
think
it
it
it's
worth
just
noting
that
the
panel
did
identify
some
areas
that
need
some
further
work
and
strengthening,
and
I
think
that
is
recognized
by
the
council's
transport
team
and
and
also
the
wider
city
development
department
and-
and
these
aren't
by
any
means
failings
at
all.
These
are
just
about
timing
and
and
how
they
can
be
brought
forward
to
strengthen
the
the
the
council's
overall
plan.
One
is
about
how
it
works
on
the
delivery
plan.
F
You
know
that
will
follow
from
the
transport
strategy
because
actually
it's
fine
having
a
strategy,
but
you
need
to
implement
authentic
because
it's
that
change
that
will
make
the
difference.
So
there's
further
work
to
be
done
on
the
on
the
delivery
plan.
I'm
confident
about
that.
F
Given
the
the
approach
that's
been
taken
under
liptip,
because
I
think
that's
been
a
very
successful
program
in
a
very
tight
period,
so
I
think
that's,
that's
certainly
certainly
critical
and
along
along
with
that,
will
be
funding
and
then
two
other
areas
which
I
think
need
further
work,
and
I
think
we
all
recognize
that-
and
it
is,
as
council
blake
has
said,
on
some
of
the
other
items
still
a
bit
of
a
moving
feast
and
that
is
around
strengthening
the
climate
change
action
plan
around
transport,
because
I
think
the
transport
is
a
major
con
contributor
to
carbon
emissions.
F
But
but
you
know,
government
is
still
moving
in
in
terms
of
its
thinking
about
that
and
is
accelerating
itself
some
of
its
own
policies.
So
I
think
that's
a
positive
thing,
so
I
think
we
can
take
advantage
of
that
and
then
a
bit
further
work
on
the
impact
of
the
digital
economy.
I
think,
which
is
perhaps
surprises
a
little
bit
in
terms
of
how
that
has
affected
the
world
of
work,
but
but
also
affected.
F
You
know
the
retail
and
service
economy
in
terms
of
the
number
of
deliveries
that
are
being
made
and
the
travel
and
mobility
choices
that
people
are
making
and
some
of
those
are
quite
fundamental.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
we
get
that
right.
So
one
of
the
advice,
the
advice
from
the
panel
was,
let's
make
sure
that
the
the
transport
strategy
is
flexible
and
if
that's
it,
that's
okay,
I'll
leave
it.
There.
Council
boat.
B
Thank
you
very
much
I'll
hand
over
to
council
carter.
If
there's
any
comments
to
make.
E
Just
just
a
couple,
I
had
a
briefing
last
week
with
wika
for
their
transport
vision
that
goes
to
2014..
E
Now
we
have
this
plan
which
doesn't
go
as
far
into
the
distance
as
that
and
I'd
like
to
know
how
these
two
marry
up,
if
indeed
they
do,
because
as
regards
climate
change
and
achieving
our
carbon
emissions
targets,
we
seem
to
now
have
five
different
targets
for
different
things,
which
may
of
course
be
perfectly
sensible
if
they
all
progress
one
from
another
and
join
up,
but
we've
got
2030,
we've
got
2035,
we've
got
2008,
we've
got
2040
and
2050,
and
look
at
comparing
these
two
documents,
the
one
from
wiki
and
one
from
leeds.
E
I
won't
go
on
in
in
detail
because
these
are
for
consultation
and
we'll
see
what
gets
fed
back,
but
I
do
worry
that
we
all
we
seem
to
be
plowing
on
regardless
and
a
lot
of
the
statistics
we're
using
are
based
on
pre-covered
and
don't
seem
to
accept
that
there
is
going
to
be
a
period
of
time
to
get
back
to
some
level
of
normal
and
maybe
back
to
the
base
figures
that
have
been
used
for
these
calculations.
E
So
so,
yes,
let
we've
got
the
consultation
to
see
what
gets
said.
But
I
would
like
some
reassurance
about
how
joined
up
the
leads
strategy
and
the
west
yorkshire
strategy
is
because,
when
we
move
to
a
mayoral
authority
in
may,
the
mayor
will
have
a
lot
of
the
powers
and
the
money
more
particularly
that
relate
to
the
proposals
in
the
leads
plan
and,
as
I've
always
predicted,
be
careful.
What
you
wish
for.
B
Because
do
you
want
to
come
back
on
that?
Obviously
there
there
was
a
great
deal
of
debate
at
the
beginning
in
terms
of
the
targets
around
climate
emergencies.
It
was
well
recognized.
There
were
different
strategies
in
place
and
that's
why
there
are
some
differences
out
there.
I
don't
think
it's
anything
new
at
all.
K
Thank
you
when
we
declared
our
climate
emergency
in
2019,
and
we
set
our
date
for
2030.
It
was
based
on
scientific
evidence-led
data
and
information
and
advice
from
the
leeds
climate
commission.
K
Clearly
relying
on
expert
advice
there
in
terms
of
the
work
that
we
needed
to
do,
and
we,
as
you
know,
then
adopted
our
road
map
for
delivering
against
those
targets
based
on
the
road
map
set
out
by
the
climate
commission.
So
wiker
subsequently
declared
their
climate
emergency
and
set
a
different
target
day.
2038
again,
they
are
working
again
to
measure
that
against
scientific
evidence,
I've
been
getting
advice
on
how
they
will
do
that.
K
Of
course,
our
work
plays
an
important
contribution
towards
the
overall
west
yorkshire
delivery
and,
of
course,
then
we
know
that
the
government
sets
a
target
date
of
2050,
which
doesn't
really
seem
to
have
sort
of
scientific
evidence
based
that
the
local
and
regional
measures
do
in
terms
of
being
able
to
deliver
meaningfully
to
keep
carbon
reduction
down
within
the
limits
set
out
in
the
paris
agreement.
K
So
clearly
across
west
yorkshire
will
work
very
closely
together,
both
the
combined
authority
and
neighbouring
authority.
K
And
then,
if
we
look
at
mass
transit
and
the
need
to
be
able
to
move
large
numbers
of
people
around
effectively
in
a
low-carbon
way,
then
we
are
very
heavily
dependent
on
west
yorkshire
and
an
incoming
mayor
to
help
us
to
deliver
our
ambitions
around
mass
transit
in
particular,
but
in
the
meantime,
we're
not
resting
on
letting
anybody
else
do
the
work
for
us
clearly
we're
not
seeing
that
happening
from
national
governments,
although
they
have
brought
forward
the
date
by
which
petrol
and
diesel
engine
vehicles
will
stop
being
sold.
K
What
we
are
trying
to
do
is
what
we
can
do
locally,
because
we
are
very
conscious
that
this
is
a
climate
emergency.
It's
not
a
climate,
you
know
do
it
when
you
feel
like
it.
This
is
something
we
are
very
conscious.
We
need
to
be
taking
action
on
now
and
not
going
to
a
later
date,
and
we
know
that
obviously
most
kind
of
powerfully
locally
from
the
impacts
in
our
city.
K
The
boxing
day,
floods
in
2015,
we've
seen
very
painfully
here
in
leeds
what
the
impact
of
climate
change
is.
So
the
report
that's
before
you
today
makes
it
very
very
clear
that
our
ambitions
are
going
to
be
very
challenging
to
meet.
We've
been
open
and
honest
about
that,
and
we're
asking
the
public
to
give
us
their
feedback,
not
only
in
in
terms
of
the
measures,
but
also
if
they
have
other
ideas,
suggestions
that
they
would
like
us
to
consider.
So
I
just
really
leave
leave
it
at
that.
B
You
move
on.
Thank
you,
councillor,
galton,.
G
Thanks
chair
I'll
start
off
positively
as
a
document,
it
reads
really
well
and
as
a
set
of
principles,
it's
really
engaging
yeah
and
I
think
it
highlights
the
priorities
that
not
just
the
council,
the
people
of
leeds,
have
in
terms
of
how
they'd
like
to
move
about
the
city.
So
there's
the
positives.
G
The
issue
is
for
us,
and
this
is
a
perennial
issue
for
us.
How
do
we
make
people
feel
that
this
document
is
actually
owned
by
them
and
basically
that
will
be
bios,
demonstrating
that
it
will
be
something
meaningful
to
them,
and
that
will
be
about
delivery,
and
this
is
where
I
get
worried,
because
nigel
foster
just
mentioned
how
successful
the
leeds
integrated
transport
plan
was,
and
I
can
assure
you
from
outside
of
the
perspective
of
a
highways
officer
and
a
transport
consultant.
G
The
delivery
of
that
program
is
not
successful,
especially
with
the
amount
of
projects
which
aren't
going
to
actually
reach
completion
or
simply
didn't
get
off
the
drawing
board.
And
if
we're
talking
about
taking
forward
things
like
active
travel,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
they're
not
just
amendments
on
a
document.
So,
for
instance,
I'll
give.
You
an
example:
there's
a
scheme
going
through
my
ward,
it's
worth
11
million
quid
and
it's
supposed
to
be
delivering
cycle
and
bus
lanes
to
enable
people
to
get
in
and
out
of
leads
better
through
my
area.
G
And
if
we're
really
going
to
have
that
proper
integration
of
transport
modes
in
our
planning,
we
need
to
take
both
things
as
seriously
as
each
other
and
not
just
see
things
as
infrastructural
investment
programs
they're,
actually
more
than
just
concrete
and
tarmac
to
be
delivered.
They
are
enabling
people
to
leave
different
lives,
and
one
of
the
things
I'd
like
to
see
going
forward
is
how
we
enable
the
public
to
engage
with
this
document
by
talking
about
15-minute
neighborhoods,
which
will
make
it
far
more
real
to
them
and
their
lives
and
where
they
live.
B
Okay,
councilman,
do
you
want
to
come
back
back
and
I
think
nigel
wants
to
comment
as
well.
K
Thank
you.
Yes,
sorry
for
the
slight
instruction
I
had
to
let
the
kids
in
this
ride
home
from
school,
so
I
was
listening
for
all
the
time,
just
in
response
to
councilman's
comments
around
delivery.
First
of
all,
I'd
say
it's
really
important
to
know
that
the
elliptic
program
was
over
programmed
and
that
was
deliberate.
K
So
we
have
now
got
a
number
of
schemes
which
we'll
be
ready
to
deliver
if
we
can
access
further
funding
and
we're
seeking
further
funding
opportunities
to
do
some
of
that
work,
and
it
has
enabled
us,
for
instance,
to
be
able
to
respond
to
other
schemes
of
funding
that
the
government
has
announced
at
short
notice,
quite
quickly
by
having
schemes
that
were
ready
to
be
delivered,
and
I
don't
think
we
should
be
apologizing
for
that.
K
The
thing
that
I
just
like
to
say
in
terms
of
what
you're
referring
to
as
15-minute
neighborhoods
and
20-minute
neighborhoods
might
be
more
realistic
in
some
of
our
communities
where
people
can
walk
cycle
or
access
public
transport
to
meet
their
daily
needs
within
a
20-minute
journey
from
their
homes,
and
that
is
something
that
we
are
looking
at
through
the
local
plan
review
and
building
into
our
update
of
the
local
plan
in
line
with
our
response
to
the
climate
emergency
as
well.
So
I
think
just
those
points
probably
chair
to
respond.
B
F
Just
a
couple
of
quick
points,
I
think
that
some
of
the
points
that
council
bolton
has
made-
I
think,
are
very
valid
and
I
think
the
the
the
the
panel
would
agree
with
them
that
that
we
do
need
to
make
sure
that
we
engage
and
that's
the
purpose
of,
I
think,
as
councilmember
herrera
outlined,
that
the
purpose
of
the
engagement
and
consultation
next
year
is
very
much
to
listen
to
the
public.
F
It's
very
much
determined
about
what
will
be
be
the
sorts
of
behaviors
and
mobility
that
they
need
to
carry
out
their
lives
as
they
said,
and
very
much
whether
it's
15-minute
20-minute
or
a
30-minute
neighborhood.
We're
trying
to
make
sure
that
these
are
developed
around
the
communities
within
within
leeds
not
just
around
the
city
centre
and
some
of
the
discussions
with
the
inclusive,
extended
inclusive
growth.
Partnership
is
very
much
about
that
and
I
know
that
gerald's
gone,
but
certainly
places
like
morley
or
rothwell
or
or
horseforth
in
leeds
they're.
F
All
places
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
are
easily
accessible
and
have
the
right
level
of
mobility
and
just
a
point
that
councillor
carte
carter
made
and
on
the
panel
we
have
the
chair
of
the
transport
committee.
At
the
combine
authority.
We
have
the
managing
director
and
we
have
some
of
the
senior
officers
attend
the
panel
meetings
and
it's
very
much
intended
to
align
the
the
strategy
for
leads
with
the
strategy
for
west
yorkshire
and
they're,
going
out
with
their
connectivity
plans
in
in
the
new
year
as
well.
B
Okay,
thank
you.
Can
I
just
ask
when
we
did
the
big
conversation?
Remember
the
transport
conversation
first
time
round.
We
involved
community
committees
in
the
consultation.
B
F
B
Yes,
of
course
thank
you,
and
can
I
just
say
an
enormous
thank
you,
nigel
for
coming
on
today,
but
also
for
all
of
the
work
that
you've
been
putting
into
this.
It
really
is
intensive
and
I
think
you've
managed
to
draw
a
really
good
group
of
people
around
you
and
it
really
important
that
from
the
from
the
academic
experts,
the
business,
the
sector
and
interest
right
through
to
representatives
from
on
on
the
whole
range
of
inclusive
aspects
that
are
so
important
to
the
work
that
we're
doing.
B
It's
very
impressive.
So
thank
you
for
that,
and
and
as
I
say
for
coming
on
today
and
with
that,
can
I
move
the
recommendations
of
the
paper
and
can
we
just
I
don't
know
how
you're
going
to
do
this
jerry,
but
I'd
just
like
to
give
everyone
a
five
minute:
comfort
break.
If
that's,
okay,.
A
That's
fine
chair,
we
can.
We
can
mute
participants
and
put
a
slide
up
just
to
just
to
reflect
that.
Okay,.
B
Okay,
thank
you.
Are
we
up
and
running
again
yeah
excellent.
Thank
you.
Okay,
thank
you.
Could
we
move
on
straight
away
then
to
item
15,
which
is
councilman
herron's?
Last
paper,
the
white
rose
forest.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you
church.
Before
I
start.
Can
I
point
out:
there's
been
a
misprint
in
section
4.4.1,
which
refers
to
the
council's
commitment
commitments
to
invest
in
tree
planting,
the
figure
should
read:
3.5
million
pounds,
not
1.4
million
pounds,
as
stated
in
the
report,
so
should
be
grateful
if
we
could
record
that
amendment
and
also
to
point
out
that
the
replacements
map
was
circulated
showing
the
woodlands
for
water
at
figure
11
in
appendix
a
so
having
made
those
clarifications.
K
In
response
to
our
declaration
of
the
climate
emergency,
we
have
as
executive
as
executive
board
will
be
aware,
committed
to
planting
50
hectares
of
woodland
every
year
in
leeds
until
2045
on
our
own
council.
Land
members
will
also
be
aware
that
tree
planting
is
well
underway
across
the
city
now,
and
also
that
the
council
has
worked
to
engage
the
public
in
preparations
for
planting
in
future
years
through
the
seed
gathering
initiative
across
public
parks
in
the
city,
with
those
seeds
then
being
grown
at
the
council's
own
atrium
nursery.
K
An
executive
order
requested
to
note
the
content
and
endorse
the
white
rose
forest
strategy
for
leads
and
that
a
professionally
designed
strategy
documents
setting
out
all
of
this
content
will
be
completed
early
in
the
new
year.
B
Okay,
thank
you
councillor
carter.
Are
you
on
the
call
still.
E
Paul
but
the
video
doesn't
seem
to
be
working.
No,
it's
not!
Okay!
We
can
hear
you
good.
Okay,
fine,
I've,
I've
just
been
asked
to
start
the
video
I've
tried
to
and
it
still
doesn't
work.
E
On
the
last
item
about
involvement
of
community
committees,
we've
been
undertaking
around
all
three
wards
in
our
outer
west
committee,
identifying
areas
for
tree
planting
which
have
gone
down
really
well
one
or
two
hiccups,
but
it's
gone
down
really
well,
but
something
that's
been
raised
is
that
community
committees
would
be
quite
well
placed
to
engage
with
small
local
landowners
to
try
and
get
some
additional
tree
planting
on
privately
owned
land,
and
it
seems
to
be
the
the
piece
of
the
jigsaw.
That's
missing.
E
Okay,
big
landowners
are
engaged
in
all
sorts
of
ways,
but
but
not
the
smaller
landowners.
It
seems
to
me
that
there's
a
role
for
community
committees
here
and
I'd
like
to
think
that
at
some
stage,
early
early
doors
in
the
next
schedule
of
community
committees,
we
get
some
proper
briefings
at
the
local
level,
with
suggestions
from
our
officers
as
to
how
we
might
influence
and
engage
with
local
landowners.
K
Got
polly
cook
on
the
call
I'm
assuming
polly,
I
think
she's
just
appeared.
K
D
B
G
Thanks
chair,
yes,
I'd
I'd,
endorse
those
suggestions
from
councillor
carter
and
offer
a
couple
of
other
observations.
Our
interaction
so
far
with
the
tree
planting
has
been
from
suggestions
that
have
come
from
officers,
but
they've
involved
trying
to
plant
on
very
heavily
open
ground.
Sorry
very
heavily
used
open
ground
in
community
parks
and
it
it
felt
like
it
was
a
desktop
exercise
and
could
do
with
a
little
bit
more
community
involvement.
G
So
we're
waiting
for
the
next
tranche
of
suggestions
coming
forward
after
councillors
identified
some
land,
but
also
the
councillors
were
also
interested
in
delivering
street
trees.
And
unfortunately,
the
tree
planting
song,
which
is
sung
by
the
council,
is
very
one
note
and
only
involves
the
planting
of
slips,
and
it
would
be
really
good
if
the
council
could
help
us
curate
a
very
varied
approach
to
tree
planting
across
the
area
and
be
able
to,
for
instance,
deliver
street
tree
planting,
which
would
not
only
help
with
tree
cover
in
urban
areas.
G
But
also,
of
course,
would
help
mean
that
the
maintenance
of
some
of
our
grass
verges
is.
What's
the
word
taken
off
the
schedule,
potentially
any
road,
those
kind
of
flexible
discussions
would
be
appreciated.
E
Okay,
could
I
come
back
in
on
that?
Okay,
because
and
it
links
into
what
stewart's
just
said
and
what
I
said
initially,
I
mean
that's
the
problem.
It
was
a
desktop
exercise,
which
is
why
I
suspect,
in
other
words,
besides
hours,
we
got
complaints
from
residents.
E
E
So
I'm
convinced
it's
been
something
of
a
desktop
desktop
exercise
and
on
the
issue
of
planting
more
mature
trees,
the
way
around
it
is
to
use
106
monies
where
possible,
or
still
still,
even
better,
because
if
you've
got
still
money,
you
could
decide
to
get
more
mature
specimens,
which
would
be
ideal
along
roadsides.
E
And
it's
what
we
were
doing
on
the
ring
road
between
rodley
and
dawson's
corner,
which,
which
is
what
brought
to
mind
the
talking
to
private
landowners,
because
we've
done
our
bit
at
some
thousands
of
pounds
costs
with
fairly
mature
specimens,
which
will
give
great
tree
cover
in
in
the
not
too
distant
future
and
much
before
these
whips
have
established
and
started
to
grow.
E
B
I
think
it's
an
interesting
and
interesting
area.
Isn't
it
because
in
it's
one
of
those
areas
where
everyone
is
in
favor
of
tran
planting
trees,
but
then
there
are
some
very
strong
views
about
where
that
should
actually
take
place,
which
I
think
of
sometimes
take
people
by.
You
know
people
by
surprise,
so
I
think
that
local
consultation
is
is
really
important.
Certainly
we
found
that
in
our
ward
as
well
counselor
a
feat
did
you
want
to
come
back
in
from
a
parks
perspective.
D
Yeah
thanks,
sir
thanks
leader,
ricky
marsden,
has
been
sort
of
over
the
overseeing
some
of
the
work
around.
You
know
the
our
plan
for
the.
E
D
E
Have
come
back
to
us
and
say:
well,
actually,
xyz
site
isn't
suitable.
We
want
to
consider
something
else.
Oh
residents
don't
want
that.
So
we
are
doing
that.
Obviously,.
E
But
that
is
the
that
is.
The
plan
is
to
work
with
board
members
and
local
residents
to
find
way
forward.
I
don't
think
we've
taken
a
single
tree
planting.
C
K
All
right
that
helps
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
counselor
fake
for
clarifying
that
all
board
members
were
notified
and
given
opportunity
to
suggest
alternative
sites
for
tree
planting
in
their
area,
and
I
know
that
in
some
areas
local
councils
took
up
that
opportunity.
K
So,
and
that
is
clearly
something
that
any
council
in
the
city
can
look
to
do
using
the
money
that
they
have
access
to
in
their
local
area
and
just
one
point
really
to
say
that
we
have
been
planting
mature
and
semi-mature
trees
alongside
some
of
the
transport
infrastructure
projects
that
we've
been
delivering
in
the
city,
liptip
that
we
referred
to
earlier
is
going
to
be
substantially
increasing
the
number
of
street
trees
in
the
city
centre
in
particular,
but
we
do
have
examples
as
well
around
the
east,
leeds
orbital
routes
and
elsewhere
in
the
city.
K
B
D
Thank
you
chair,
so
my
first
paper
is
on
the
east
on
esif,
which
is
the
european
structural
investment
fund.
So
in
may
we
submitted
a
bid
to
the
department
for
work
and
pensions
to
deliver
a
program
to
support
job
seekers
in
leeds,
particularly
focusing
on
some
of
those
with
furthest
from
the
library
market
and
those
who
sometimes
need
extra
bit
of
help
to
get
into
employment.
The
council's
committed
to
three
million
pounds
in
match
funding,
hopefully
with
this
with
the
program
starting
in
january.
D
The
report
covers
a
number
of
things
which
include
the
provisional
universal
credit
claimant
figures,
as
well
as
a
general
overview
of
how
employment
and
skills
has
done
over
the
covered
crisis.
I
think
it's
fed
sound
employment.
We
we
started
the
year
in
in
quite
a
strong
position,
but
obviously
like
everywhere
else,
we've
been
hit
by
covered
quite
significantly,
so
this
is
just
one
part
of
how
we
recover
as
a
city.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
councillor
carter.
Any
comments
on
this
paper.
B
D
Thank
you.
So
this
paper
is
outlining
the
proposal
to
create
a
new
purpose-built
facility
to
rehouse
the
vine
for
people
who
know
of
the
vinyl
or
visited
it
it's
in
outing,
kirksville,
ward.
It
was
never
meant
to
be
the
permanent
location
and
there
have
been
issues
with
the
building
over
the
past
few
years.
So
this
is
the
proposal
to
build
something
fit
for
purpose.
D
The
estimated
cost
is
at
10.8
million,
and
actually
this
represents
an
opportunity
for
the
council
to
save
revenue
spending
quite
significantly
by
reducing
our
out
of
area
placements.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you.
Can
we
approve
the
recommendations,
then
thank
you,
councillor,
prairie
and
move
on
to
councillor
vanna,
please,
for
item
18..
Thank.
D
You
chair:
this
is
a
for
information
paper
on
the
leads
practice
model.
The
purpose
of
the
paper
is
to
outline
the
philosophy
and
practice
of
the
directorate,
and
it
focuses
on
a
few
particular
services
to
to
do
that
in
the
current
financial
context.
It
also
outlines
what
we're
trying
to
achieve
and
how
that
framework
will
inform
the
review.
That's
going
to
be
happening
of
early
help,
there's
a
particular
reference
to
restorative
practice
and
the
importance
of
being
family-led
a
trauma-informed
approach
and
being
evident
and
there's
a
reference
to
the
three
planks
of
the
rethink.
D
Formulation
leads
practice,
principles
and
outcome-based
supervision,
and
the
report
demonstrates
the
efficacy
of
the
the
approach,
both
in
terms
of
high
quality
practice,
which
led
to
our
outstanding
status
and
also
financial
cost
savings,
or
particular
references
to
200,
less
children
looked
after
in
the
last
in
the
in
the
last
few
years.
So
I'll
just
make
those
introductory
comments.
Thank
you,
chair.
B
B
That
thank
you,
council,
galton.
B
Okay,
thank
you.
Can
we
agree
the
recommendation
and
move
on
to
the
last
item
on
the
agenda
councillor
cooper,
please.
D
Yeah
thanks
leader
and
this
item
is
about
the
extra
care
proposal
for
rothwell
at
windlesford
green
executive
board.
Members
will
know
that
we've
brought
a
number
of
papers
to
executive
board
about
the
delivery
and
various
packages
packages,
one
and
packages,
two
four
extra
care
schemes
in
the
city.
D
This
proposal
is
the
third
in
package
one
and
it's
expected
to
deliver
62
units
of
accommodation
within
the
scheme
and
and
given
the
earlier
debate
around
affordable
housing.
D
I'm
pleased
to
tell
executive
board
leader
that
this
is
a
hundred
percent
affordable
in
an
outer
area,
and
so
I
would
expect
that
councillor
goldman
council
carter
will
be
extremely
pleased
as
it
way
exceeds
any
planning
policy
requirement
for
affordable
housing
in
that
area,
and
I
think
that
just
to
remind
executive
board
as
well
about
our
vision
for
extra
care
housing,
the
our
vision
is
to
deliver
over
a
thousand
units
of
extra
care
housing
before
2028
and
as
I've
said,
this
is
the
third
one
that
executive,
but
that
I'm
bringing
to
executive
board
for
approval
under
package
one.
D
So
we're
well
underway
with
that
delivery
leader,
I'm
pleased
to
say,
but
there
is
also
we
need
to
discuss
this
further
in
the
pink
papers,
but
I'll
leave
it
there.
For
now,
chair.
E
Yes,
of
course,
councillor
cooper.
We
welcome
this.
Like
the
discussion
we
had
a
little
earlier,
I
would
love
to
see
such
a
scheme
and
in
pudsey
or
cartwheeling
fastly.
There
are
one
or
two
technical
issues
which
I'll
raise
on
the
pink
papers,
but
no,
I
absolutely
welcome
it.
B
Thank
you,
councillor
goldman.
G
Yes,
chair
as
councillor
cooper
mentioned,
this
is
the
third
version
of
what
was
originally
going
to
be
built
at
windlesford,
green
and
originally
it
wasn't
going
to
be
100
affordable.
But
thanks
to
the
amazing
work
of
local
councillors,
the
council
saw
fit
to
make
it
so
thanks
chair.
D
Yes,
thank
you
thanks
for
that
and
and
of
course,
the
efforts
of
local
members
representing
their
community,
I
have
to
say
at
all
times,
but
I'm
extremely
pleased
that
we
at
lee
city
council
and
this
administration
are
able
to
deliver
what
it
is
that
you've
requested,
because
it's
what
we
wanted
to
see
all
along
anyway,
so
a
100,
affordable,
rents,
100,
nomination
rights
to
lead
city
council
as
well.
So
I'm
really
pleased
that
both
councillor
goldman
and
councillor
carter
are
happy
with
that.
B
Okay,
thank
you.
Well,
that's
a
good
note
to
bring
the
executive
board
meeting
of
the
last
one
of
2022..
I
close.
It
just
leaves
me
to
wish
everyone
a
merry
christmas
and
all
the
best
for
an
improving
situation
in
2021.
B
For
the
members
of
the
board.
Please
are
we
staying
on
the
call
jared
will
just
stay
where
we
are
and
we'll
go
off.
The
live,
feed

all
non
eligible
people

The
meeting
is

that.
