A
Yeah
good
afternoon
everybody
and
welcome
to
the
September
meeting
of
Leeds
Council
executive
board.
I
will
go
through
the
formal
items
at
the
top
of
the
agenda
so
item
one
please
or
any
appeals
against
refusals
of
inspection
of
documents.
B
B
Thanks
chair,
there
are
no
specific
late
items
of
business.
However,
as
board
members
will
be
aware,
this
meeting
has
been
combined
at
short
notice
as
permitted
within
the
council's
executive
and
decision-making
procedure,
rules
due
to
the
unforeseen
events
of
the
national
morning
period
and
the
additional
public
holiday
within
that,
following
the
passing
of
the
Majesty
the
coin
and
in
terms
of
supplementary
information
board,
members
have
received
an
updated
appendix
one
to
item
it,
which
is
the
local
Plan
update
and
an
updated
appendix
3
to
item
16,
which
is
the
Financial
Health
monitoring
report.
A
A
Please
I,
don't
see
anybody
declaring
I'll
move
to
item
five,
which
is
minutes
of
the
meeting
in
July
and
September
and
I'll
check
with
the
board
that
everybody
is
Happy
with
those
items
those
minutes
see,
everybody
is
so
we'll
move
on
to
the
substantive
items
and
I'm
aware
there's
some
members
of
the
public
key
for
item
15,
which
is
a
taxi
and
private
hire
licensing
paper,
so
I'm
going
to
move
that
item
to
the
top
of
the
agenda
and
ask
councilor
Cooper
to
introduce
it.
Please.
C
Thank
you
leader,
and
the
report
before
us
item
15
that
we're
now
looking
at
is
the
taxi
and
private
hire
license
results
of
the
consultation
on
the
suitability
and
minor
motoring
convictions.
C
First
of
all,
I
think
it's
important
to
point
out
that
the
taxing
private
higher
trade
are
vital
to
the
city
and
provide
an
outstanding
service
to
the
people
of
Leeds
and
thousands
of
visitors.
Every
year
over
80
percent
of
current
tax
and
private
higher
licensed
drivers
in
Leeds
have
no
points
on
their
license,
and
the
proposed
change
would
affect
just
over
one
percent
of
current
license
holders.
A
current
level
is
around
70
drivers
out
of
around
five
thousand
license
holders
that
we
have.
C
C
C
Following
a
joint
public
consultation
across
West,
Yorkshire
and
York.
All
authorities
adopted
a
suitability
and
convictions
policy
during
2018-2019
which
determined
whether
drivers
are
safe
and
suitable
or
fit
and
proper
to
hold
a
license
following
representations
from
the
trade
in
early
2020,
the
council
decided
to
pause
this
part
of
the
policy
that
considered
minor
martyr
and
convictions
and
from
a
work
form.
A
working
group
of
counselors
trade
representatives
and
passenger
disability
groups
review
that
part
of
the
policy.
D
Thank
you
chair
to
say
the
licensing
committee
approved
this
is
a
bit
misleading,
because
certainly
my
members
did
not
vote
in
favor
of
it.
I
think
somebody
referred
to
this
paper
as
a
solution
looking
for
a
problem
and
I
think
it
certainly
is
when
you
think
that
these
discussions
have
now
been
going
on
for
over
three
years,
two
separate
consultations,
the
first
of
which
was
flawed
so
badly.
D
D
It
seems
to
me
that
over
the
last
15
years,
the
condition
and
the
suitability
of
private
hire
vehicles
in
Leeds
has
has
advanced
a
light
years,
and
so
now
why,
at
this
stage,
do
we
seem
to
be
singling
out
what
seems
to
be
just
a
small
percentage
of
drivers
which
can
be
dealt
with
in
other
ways
and
I
think
to
to
suggest
as
well
that
cases
will
be
looked
at
by
a
subcommittee
of
counselors
on
the
licensing
committee.
D
Given
the
fact
that
you
have
comprehensively
destroyed
the
the
confidence
of
private
hire,
drivers
in
the
city
council
is
quite
unbelievable.
D
So
I'll
be
frank
with
you
I'd
like
you
to
accept
that
this
paper
goes
to
scrutiny
so
that
officers
and
members
on
licensing
and
on
the
executive
can
be
questioned
by
the
scrutiny
board
and
the
report
from
them
brought
back
to
us
on
this
paper
before
anything
else
happens.
We
can
then
decide
when
scrutiny
have
looked
at
it
independently
and
taken
on
board
the
concerns
being
expressed
by
the
licensing
trade.
Whether
or
not
this
is
suitable
or
not,
and
I.
C
Thank
you,
councilor
Carter,
for
your
comments.
I
think
it's
important
to
let
executive
Bard
and
the
public
who
are
either
in
attendance
of
this
meeting
are
watching
indeed
on
on
the
internet,
that
that
the
reason
that
the
council
are
as
a
licensing
Authority
have
had
to
look
at.
C
This
is
due
to
the
guidance,
the
statutory
guidance
given
by
the
government
in
form
of
the
Department
of
Transport
and
The
Institute
of
Licensing,
in
terms
of
what
they
expect
from
licensing
authorities
to
look
into
when
they
are
determining
whether
a
person
is
indeed
a
fit
and
proper
person
to
hold
a
license.
Now,
the
proposal
before
us
today
executive
board,
actually
would
bring
us
more
in
line
with
other
authorities
in
the
country.
C
It
would
further
bring
us
in
line
with
other
authorities
in
West
Yorkshire,
who
have
already
adopted
that
policy,
as
I
mentioned
earlier
in
2018
and
19
in
full,
without
actually
when
we've
listened
to
the
responses
from
the
consultation
and
some
of
the
concerns
that
the
trade
raised
with
us
that
we
have
adapted
the
sum
of
the
requirements
around
the
seven
points
and
not
to
revoke
at
that
stage.
But
to
look
at
it
at
nine
points:
instead,
licensing
committer
have
already
set.
C
There
is
a
process
within
the
council.
Council
cater.
You
know
well
that
licensing
committee
say
and
make
its
recommendations
to
executive
board,
and
this
scrutiny
committer
is
within
its
own
rights
to
call
in
any
decision
of
of
the
executive
World
should
there
so
wish.
Okay,
I
would
just
like
to
say
actually
that
I
have
engaged
extensively
with
a
trade
throughout
this
consultation
and
and
throughout
the
past
two
years
on
on
a
number
of
matters
that
they
have
brought
to.
C
My
attention
and
I
have
engaged
and
worked
with
them
to
overcome
some
of
those
and
and
I
don't
recognize
the
picture.
You
paint
of
the
trade
in
this
city
having
the
feeling
that
they
do
around
this
policy.
E
Thanks
chair,
I,
think
most
of
the
people
in
Leeds.
E
E
To
tell
you
the
truth
and
I
think
the
suggestion
that
councilor
Carter
puts
forward
that
a
further
clarification
from
people
who
are
less
involved
with
the
day-to-day
running
of
Licensing
would
be
an
opportunity
to
offer
further
perspective,
but
also
potentially
for
councilor
Cooper,
an
element
of
independent
endorsement.
Should
it
go
to
a
scrutiny
board,
so
I'm
I'm
being
moved
towards
councilor
Casa's
suggestion
that
that
would
be
perhaps
the
most
appropriate
de
Newman
to
this
dispute.
D
D
This
issue
is
extremely
serious
and
I
appreciate
that
you
have
put
some
effort
in
and
that
you
have
in
some
respects
been
passed,
a
poison
chalice,
which
you
should
look
to
your
left,
I'm
delighted
to
hear
what
councilor
Goldman
says
and
I
can
tell
you.
You've
got
two
options.
You
can
either
accept
my
suggestion
and
it
goes
to
scrutiny
from
this
board,
or
we
will
request
a
call
in
to
scrutiny.
It's
entirely
up
to
you,
one
way
or
the
other
it's
going
to
screw
today.
A
Thank
you
for
going
back
through
history,
councilor
Carter
I.
Remember
when
this
policy
came
in
art
from
2019,
you
voted
for
it
and
I.
Think
that's
worth
the
board
being
well
aware
that
you
voted
to
bring
in
this
policy
in
2019.
As
did
councilor
Galton
does
I
recall
you
criticize
us
for
not
bringing
us
in
quicker,
so
I
do
think
that
if
we,
if
we're
going
back
through
the
history
lessons,
you
can
shake
your
head.
But
it
is
a
matter
of
record
what
your
position
used
to
be
on
this
and
I.
A
Think
again,
I
would
pay
credit
to
councilor
Cooper
Council
James
Gibson,
the
officers
for
bringing
this
item
and
and
the
time
and
effort
they've
done
on
the
cross
party
licensing
committee
and
through
the
work
with
the
trade
on
this
policy,
to
bring
it
to
the
position
you're
in
you're.
A
Absolutely
right,
as
both
yourself
and
councilor
Cooper
said,
scrutiny
can
happily
look
at
any
item
any
item
they
wish
were
very
proud
in
this
Council
of
the
having
that
scrutiny
process
and
having
scrutiny
boards
that
are
led
by
position
chairs.
As
part
of
that,
and
of
course,
everybody's
very
welcome
to
look
at
this,
but
at
this
point,
I
will
turn
to
the
recommendations
as
they
are
set
out
on
page
1155
in
the
papers
and
see
if
the
board
is
happy
with
those
recommendations.
D
A
A
Carter,
we
always
record
how
people
vote
to
help
people's
memories
when
they
get
a
little,
where
people
get
a
little
Carried
Away
about
what
the
voted
for
in
the
past
right.
Should
we
move
on
to
the
next
item
please
and
Council
lavender.
Please.
F
Yes,
thank
you
chair.
This
paper
is
the
finding
of
the
ombudsman's
public
report
and
I
wanted
to
start
by
saying
it's
many
years
since
the
Ombudsman
published
a
report,
finding
fault
with
Leeds
city
council,
adult
social
care,
so
first
of
all,
I'd
want
to
seek
to
reassure
the
board
members
that
this
is
not
a
regular
occurrence.
The
council
accepts
the
Ombudsman
findings
and
is
written
to
the
Ombudsman
outlining
action
plan
we've
put
in
place
in
responding
to
his
investigation.
F
F
If
a
person
turned
out
to
be
a
self
funder
and
would
therefore
be
charged
at
the
high
a
higher
rate
than
local
Authority
rate,
the
Ombudsman
has
instructed
us
to
Cease
the
practice
of
running
two
contracts
concurrently
until
a
financial
assessment
has
been
completed
and
the
Ombudsman
has
chosen
to
make
this
a
public
report
because
of
the
systemic
issues
highlighted
by
this
case,
which
potentially
apply
to
other
local
authorities
as
well
as
leads
ceasing
running.
Two
contracts
is
likely
to
place
some
challenges
on
Care
Homes,
because
they
will
lose
funding
for
the
weeks.
F
F
However,
all
of
this
will
be
superseded
by
the
incoming
social
care
charging
reforms
coming
in
next
year,
which
allow
all
self-fundors
to
ask
their
local
authority
to
broker
their
care
home
place
at
the
local
Authority
funded
rate.
This
is
also
causing
concern
in
the
provider
sector
and
the
sector
have
been
lobbying
the
government
to
delay
the
introduction
of
these
changes
because
they
anticipate
losing
money
as
a
result,
and
they
may
of
course
attempt
to
put
up
their
local
Authority
rate
considerably.
F
In
response,
the
Ombudsman
report
also
finds
filled
with
the
provider
with
regard
to
some
issues
of
quality
of
provision,
and
so
our
report
outlines
how
the
council
monitors
quality
in
the
independent
Care
Home
sector.
However,
I
would
add
that
much
of
the
timeline
in
this
report
was
at
the
height
of
the
acute
stages
of
the
covid
pandemic,
when
access
to
Care
Homes
was
very
severely
limited,
I
will
leave
my
comments.
There.
Sharing
Cass
and
I
are
happy
to
answer
questions
on
the
report
and
our
response.
Thank
you.
A
D
Can
the
director
of
the
chief
exec
show
me
that
the
measures
to
rectify
the
situation
have
now
been
taken
and
that
we
won't
have
another
such
report
going
at
the
end
of
the
day?
It
is
critical
of
the
council
and
if
the
chair,
if
the
exec
member
wants
to
skate
around
that
I
hope
that
the
director
of
the
chief
exec
do
take
it
seriously.
A
G
Thank
you
leader,
so
this
is
a
consultation
of
the
outcome
of
the
consultation
on
the
proposal
to
establish
a
resource
provision
at
iveson
primary
school.
This
would
cater
for
children
with
additional
needs,
such
as
complex
communication
difficulties
and
autism,
who
require
a
specialist
provision
within
a
mainstream
setting.
The
estimated
Capital
cost
is
half
million
pounds
which
would
come
from
the
high
needs
provision.
Capital
allocation.
There
were
53
responses
to
the
consultation
with
100
in
support
I'll
leave
it
there.
A
H
Thank
you
leader,
a
great
pleasure
in
presenting
this
local
Plan
update
one,
and
these
draft
planning
policies
to
go
out
of
consultation.
They
will
be
critical
in
helping
leads,
reduce
carbon
and
be
more
resilient
to
the
impacts
of
climate
change
and
produce
developments,
of
which
we
can
all
be
proud
developments
which
are
healthier
better
designed,
low,
carb
and
flood
resilient
and
connected
with
their
local
communities.
H
And
this
this
is
an
ambitious
policy,
a
draft
policy,
and
it's
intend
to
go
further
than
government
building
regulations
and
seek
energy,
efficient,
zero
carbon
buildings
and
promote
whole
life.
Zero
carbon
developments.
H
We
need
both
strips
it's
like
I,
say
it's
aspirational,
but
it
is
realistic
and,
and
consultation
has
shown
that
developers
are
willing
and
able
to
put
these
policies
into
action.
We
therefore
propose
revised
design,
green,
making,
green
and
blue
infrastructure
and
20-minute
neighborhood
policies
which
will
seek
to
make
developments
truly
high
quality,
and
it
fits
in
with
the
other
strategies
which
we
are
already
having
placed
in
leads,
such
as
the
transport
and
strategies
so
and
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
the
whole
team
for
the
hard
work
on
this.
H
This
is
quite
a
hefty
document
and
it's
a
really
important
and
as
a
aspirational
but
realistic
document
which
will
see
developments
much
improved
developments
being
built
in
the
future
I'll
leave
it
there
later.
Thank
you.
D
Mean
this
is
a
huge
document
for
consultation,
and
the
key
is
consultation,
hopefully
meaningful
consultation,
because
it
is
hugely
important
as
the
first
update
that
the
majority
of
people
get
the
chance
to
comment
if
they
wish
and
there's
a
variety
of
ways
of
doing
that.
Consultation
recently
participating
in
consultation
on
the
highways
Department
in
connection
with
the
leveling
up
Fund
in
my
part
of
the
world
and
I
have
to
say
the
consultation
has
been
excellent
and
they
particularly
went
to
the
various
different
communities
from
horsforth
through
to
Pudsey.
D
Ensuring
that
people
who
perhaps
were
not
particularly
computer
savvy,
were
able
to
come
along
and
make
their
observations
and
talk
to
officers
who
knew
this
stuff.
And
it's
equally
important.
It's
not
more
important
than
that
is
the
case
with
this
consultation
and
I
am
interested
to
to
know
as
soon
as
possible,
where
values
for
face-to-face
consultation
will
take
place
and
that
we
won't
miss
out
smaller
communities
just
because
they
happen
to
be
smaller
and
that
we
will
do
our
best
to
make
sure
the
majority
of
the
people
in
Leeds.
D
Not
all
of
them
have
the
opportunity
to
pass
their
comments
in
one
form
or
another.
I
appreciate
that
being
able
to
consult
electronically
is
a
godsend,
but
it's
only
a
godsend.
If
we
remember
that
there
are
a
lot
of
people,
particularly
older,
the
older
generation,
the
home,
which
is
not
practical,
and
it's
not
acceptable.
If
the
council
do
not
put
in
place
measures
where
people
all
people
can
contribute,
particularly
on
this
so
I'd
like
some
reassurance
about
that.
The
other
point
I'll
make
is
that
I'd
get
Council.
D
Hayden's
commented
on
on
sustainable
development,
but
too
many
developments
in
Leeds.
At
the
moment
where
we
already
have
some
some
very
encouraging
guidance
in
planning,
but
we
don't
always
make
sure
that
developers
and
I
do
wish
all
developers
were
buying
into
this
and
councilor
Hayden
must
know
they
aren't
that
we
took
a
firmer
line
on
ensuring
that
these
Environmental
Protections
are
actually
put
in
place.
H
Thank
you,
Council
Carter
and
yes,
I'm,
very
proud
of
the
work
that
connecting
Leeds
does
in
consultation
and
I
have
to,
and
so
I
will,
I'm
hoping
that
the
officers
involved
will
have
heard
your
comments
and,
if
not,
I
will
make
sure
that
they're
passed
on
in
the
planning
with
local
Plan
update
one
we've
already
consulted
very
widely
with
the
people
of
Leeds
and
including
children
as
well,
and
officers
have
gone
to
have
a
voice
Council
and
our
children
looked
after
in
order
to
get
their
views
on
the
the
planning
proposals,
because,
as
we
know,
it's
important
to
get
the
views
of
everybody.
H
But
it's
particularly
important
when
we're
talking
about
climate
change
and
the
climate
emergency
that
we
get
the
views
of
children
and
young
people,
because
it's
it's
those
it's
them
that
are
going
to
live
in
these
developments
that
are
going
to
live
in
Leeds
for
decades
after
we
are,
we
are
still
here
and
and
that
they
are
going
to
have
to
live
with
the
future
effects
of
climate
change.
H
So
yes,
I
can
absolutely
give
that
assurance
that
this
will
be
full
consultation
and
it
will
be
we
and
fact
we
went
back
out
to
have
a
look
at
that
consultation
you're
talking
about
in
in
in
the
horsepith
and
broadly
areas,
because
we
were
concerned
that
the
gender
mix
in
terms
of
the
responses
was
not
acceptable.
H
So
went
back
out
again
and
used
different
methods
of
engaging
with
people
and
I
can
absolutely
assure
you
that
that
will
happen
with
this
incredibly
important
document
for
the
future
and
I
just
want
to
again
pass
on
my
thanks
to
those
officers
who
share
their
expertise,
who
you
know
and
spend
the
time
talking
to
people
of
leads
and
in
a
way
that
they
they
can
access,
and
they
do
go
out
their
way
to
do.
H
That,
and
I'm
really
pleased
that
we're
able
to
do
that
now
that
we
can
have
those
face-to-face
encounters
with
with
each
other
in
terms
of
current
policies
and
making
sure
that
I
know
that
the
department
works
extremely
hard
and
it
is
very
difficult,
but
it's
very
difficult
job
to
make
sure
that
Developers
are
sticking
to
the
existing
existing
policies.
H
B
Yeah
I
was
just
gonna
agree
with
councilor
Hayden.
That
I
think
this
point
about
how
we
engage
with
the
the
private
sector
and
the
developers
is,
is
really
important
to
get
the
level
of
delivery
that
we
need
across
the
council
as
bigger
geography,
as
we
have
in
a
way.
B
That
is
consistent
with
our
plan,
which
you
know,
tries
really
hard
to
go
with
the
grain
of
the
the
settlement
pattern
of
the
city
that
everybody
knows
and
loves,
and
you
know,
wants
to
keep
in
place
and
be
consistent
with
that
depends
on
over
a
hundred
live
sites
every
day.
And
that
means
we
are
not.
B
You
know,
beholden,
as
some
places
are
to
you
know
a
handful
of
Developers
for
whether
we're
going
to
achieve
our
objectives
or
not
we're
actually
needing
to
work
in
Partnership
and
getting
people
to
understand
communities
in
a
whole
range
of
different
businesses
and
I
I
think
you
know
most
of
the
time.
B
That
is
that
that
does
work
well,
but
sometimes
it
doesn't,
as
we
know
and
I
know
from
my
emails
has
councilor
Hayden
and
other
members
will
know
as
well
and
I
think
what
we
should
do
is
use
this
opportunity
to
really
try
and
engage,
and
particularly
listen
to
the
the
vast
majority
who
want
to
go
with
the
grain
of
this
and
appreciate
that
actually
to
tackle
climate
change,
you're
going
to
have
to
build
homes
which
are
more
energy
efficient
and
which
are
easier
to
live
in
and
and
lower
cost
to
live
in
and
which
therefore
will
be
easier
to
sell
and
will
hold
their
value
more
as
you
get
the
climate
change
cap
targets
kicking
in
in
the
future.
B
So
there's
an
absolute
rationale
to
this,
which
may
be
10
years
ago.
If
we'd
have
gone
out
with
this
I
think
would
have
got
a
bigger
reaction
from
developers
in
the
private
sector.
I
think
there
is
more
of
a
recognition
now,
but
there
isn't
by
all
of
them
and
I
think
that's
the
dialogue
that
we
need
to
have,
and
you
know
I
think
this
is
a
real
opportunity
to
do
that
with
members
with
communities.
B
Thinking
back
to
when
we
originally
did
the
some
of
the
work
around
the
the
plan,
that's
now
been
delivered
very
successfully
in
many
places
in
most
places
across
the
city.
B
That's
when,
when
you
get
that
dialogue,
when
you
can
really
get
things
to
to
work
for
for
local
communities,
so
I
think
we
should
definitely
have
quite
a
wide
range
in
program
and
not
Silo
in
it
either,
so
that
we
get
a
mix
of
developers,
communities
members
in
different
in
different
places
to
have
so
that
you
can
have
that
dialogue
in
in
those
places
as
well.
E
Thanks
Joe,
what
what
council
cards
have
pointed
out
from
the
very
beginning?
E
This
is
a
huge
agenda
and
it
should
be
recognized
that
a
lot
of
work
has
gone
into
this
from
some
dedicated
officers,
but
I
think
we
really
should
be
emphasizing
us
emphasizing
at
this
stage
that
this
is
a
draft
and
even
as
a
planning
document,
the
the
needs
of
the
people
of
Leeds
are
such
that
I
think
we
might
need
to
have
further
supplementary
strategic
documents
on
top
of
the
formal
planning
guidance
which
is
here
and
I'll
just
give
one
example,
because
I
was
I'll,
declare
an
interest
at
this
point.
E
I
am
currently
vice
president
of
Leeds
allotment
Federation
I
mean
we're
having
our
regular
update
with
the
allotments
section
this
week,
and
the
participants
were
wanting
to
know
how
we'd
got
on
with
contributing
towards
this
planning
document.
And
then
the
officer
said.
Oh,
we
haven't
had
our
meeting
yet
and
then
I
popped
in
and
said
well,
actually,
the
document's
being
discussed
at
executive
board
on
Wednesday,
and
here
is
what
the
food
resilience
paper
says,
and
here
is
what
the
20-minute
neighborhood
paper
says.
E
Think
this
is
one
of
the
key
concerns
for
many
people
in
the
city
in
terms
of
the
planning
document,
says
what
we
would
like
to
retain
and
what
should
be
protected
in
a
planning
application
process,
but
we
also
have
a
further
responsibility
to
ensure
that
what
is
delivered
through
the
planning
process
actually
gets
maintained
and
that
the
community
are
able
to
influence
as
time
goes
by
and
too
often
in
our
private
residential
schemes
that
happen.
E
The
green
space
is
effectively
privatized
with
private
maintenance
companies
overseeing
publicly
accessible
land,
but
nobody
is
able
to
influence
what
happens
on
it.
So
I
think
those
aspects,
for
instance
in
terms
of
the
ownership
of
a
development
which
is
in
our
community,
is
not
something
which
just
happens
at
the
planning
panel
table.
E
It
happens
in
the
Years
following
and
I
think
the
documents
either
this
document
or
further
assisted
documents
need
to
take
that
issue
up
to
ensure
that
we're
not
just
thinking
as
planning
officers
in
looking
at
a
plan
on
a
paper
we're
thinking
about
how
this
develops
over
time.
Thank
you,
chair.
A
D
Yeah
just
to
support
what
councilor
Galt
was
just
saying:
the
Landscaping
of
sites
is
something
quite
dear
to
my
heart:
we've
I
was
Mr
feeding
the
housing.
My
own
world
we've
had
two
pretty
horrendous,
carries
on
with
developers
who
built
the
houses
and
gone,
and
we
we
really
do
need
to
build
this
landscaping
and
management
of
it
into
the
local
plan.
D
In
many
cases,
it's
the
nearest
Green
Space
anybody.
Well,
in
most
cases
the
nearest
Green
Space
residents
will
have
it
needs
properly,
maintaining
and
I'm
told
by
other
colleagues
it's.
This
is
a
common
over
the
city
that
we
just
aren't
getting
the
sort
of
quality
of
landscaping
and
maintenance
of
landscaping.
D
We
ought
to
be
getting,
including
the
provision
of
allotments
and
and
most
allotments,
certainly
in
our
part
of
the
world,
are
over
subscribed
people
on
the
waiting
list,
and
we,
we
really
must
make
sure
we
build
the
sort
of
protections
necessary
into
the
local
plan
and
up
to
press
That's
not
been
the
case.
So
I
do
endorse
what
councilor
gortons
just
said.
H
H
Isn't
it
so
I'm
very
I'm,
very,
very,
very
keen
to
protect
what
we
have,
but
also
to
have
a
look
at
where
we
we
can
get
more
in
the
food
resilience
part
there's
a
lot
of
work
going
on
in
there
in
the
city,
in
partnership
with
Leeds
University
and
under
the
leadership
and
enthusiasm
of
counselor
Abigail,
Marshall
katung
and
my
colleague
Thelma
RF
as
well.
H
Cancer
Arif
there's
a
lot
of
exciting
work
going
on
around
food
resilience
and
and
making
sure
that
our
food
is
low
carbon
as
well,
and
that's
how
I
really
really
enjoy
my
portfolio
because
everything
fits
together.
H
So
allotments
are
incredibly
important
in
that
and
in
terms
of
biodiversity
as
well
and
yes
leave
the
caterpillars
because
they
turn
into
butterflies
and
and
we
need
them
and
they
need
the
kale
Northern
New
councilor,
Lewis
I,
don't
know
if
anybody
any
officers
want
to
come
into
on
the
specifics
of
Adam
or
Martin
want
to
come
in
are
David
into
the
specifics
of
those
protections.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
chair
I
mean
thank
you
for
members
comments,
I
mean
it
is
a
comprehensive
planning
document.
I
know
the
points
that
have
been
raised
about
consultation,
but
just
to
reassure
counselor
Carter.
We
are
preparing
an
engagement
plan
as
part
of
this
strategy
in
terms
of
Engagement
with
communities
across
across
Leeds.
We've
recently
updated
our
statement
of
community
involvement
as
well,
so
that
provides
a
very
useful
framework
to
develop
our
strategies
in
terms
of
policies.
B
I
mean
this
plan
will
need
to
be
accompanied
with
implementation
documents
which
align
other
services
across
the
council
as
well.
There
are
challenges,
though,
in
terms
of
Maintenance,
where
sites
are
privately
maintained.
It's
a
question
of
how
we
can
influence
that
through
the
planning
process,
but
this
document
that's
before
the
board
today,
certainly
strengthens
those
Place
making
and
green
space
policies
that
so
that
should
give
us
great
attraction
in
terms
of
reflecting
the
comments
that
members
have
made.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
David.
Are
there
any
more
comments
on
this
paper?
I?
Take
it
around
so
I'm,
going
to
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
83,
noting
that
we're
going
out
to
consultation
on
these
items
so
I
think
there
will
be
a
lot
more
chance
for
groups
to
get
involved
and
thank
you
for
those
members
that
have
talked
about
groups
that
you'll
be
getting
involved.
So
I'll
turn
to
recommendations
and
check
that
the
board
is
Happy
with
those
that's
great,
we'll
move
on
to
item
nine,
please
councilor
Hayden.
H
Thank
you
chair,
so
this
a
gender
item.
Nine
is
the
least
affordable
housing
growth,
partnership
action
plan
and
it
sets
out
how
the
council
can
optimize
its
role
in
delivery
of
affordable
housing
in
the
city
and
highlights
areas,
potential
policy
change
to
ensure
that
people
of
Leeds
can
Access
housing
that
meet
their
needs,
have
housing
security
and
obtain
positive
life
outcomes.
H
As
a
result,
the
action
plan
highlights
key
areas
for
Focus
for
all
Partners
over
the
next
three
years
in
scaling
up
the
delivery
of
affordable
homes
and
meeting
the
challenges
faced
by
the
sector
and
the
City
report.
It
sets
out
recommendations
to
endorse
the
Leeds,
affordable
housing
growth
partnership
action
plan,
including
the
deployment
of
resources,
to
contribute
to
the
delivery
of
intended
outcomes
and
addresses
the
position
set
out
in
June
2019
in
relation
to
the
establishment
of
a
local
housing
company.
So
I'll
leave
it
there
chair
and
for
any
comments.
D
Just
a
couple
of
points,
first
of
all,
the
three
sites
refer
to
in
here
I
know:
you've
consulted
Ward
members,
fine
particularly
mentioned
Meadow
Lane,
which,
which
I
think
we
Development
Department
conjured
up
out
of
nothing
to
create
a
site.
D
So
that
indicates
I
think
the
fact
that
which
we
are
trying
to
move
these
things
forward
and
I
particularly
asked
to
count
around
us
and,
of
course,
whether
they've
been
consulted
on
Farrow
Lane,
and
he
always
is
very
thorough
and,
of
course-
and
he
said
yes,
he
had-
which
is
great
I've,
come
on
to
the
consultation
on
the
next
paper.
D
The
other
point
I
wanted
to
make
relates
to
the
last
one
really
a
lot
of
they
affordable
housing
is
on
private
sites,
there's
predominantly
private
sides.
So
the
same
thing
is
the
case
with
the
the
tenants
I
was
with
the
owner
occupiers.
If
the
Green
Space
around
the
site
isn't
satisfactory,
it
isn't
satisfactorily
maintained,
look,
there's
going
to
be
a
problem,
and
so
I
I
do
think
that
that
planning
need
to
take
that
very
very
seriously.
Indeed.
D
Another
point
is
who
checks
on
the
registered
providers,
because
I
think
many
members
are
getting
more
complaints
than
used
to
be
the
case
from
constituents
who
are
in
registered
providers.
Houses
in
terms
of
repairs
and
the
like
and
I
would
like
to
know
how
we,
as
a
council,
monitor
the
performance
of
our
registered
providers
of
affordable
housing
because
I
think
it's
going
to
become
as
a
a
growing
issue
as
their
numbers
of
properties
grow.
So
I
would
like
some
assurances
on
that.
Please,
as
well.
A
I
Please
Council
registered
providers.
My
mark
Ireland's
team
leaders
with
the
private
sector
actually
were
you
know
we
were
very
closely
with
the
with
the
registered
providers
as
well
and
where
possible,
you
know.
Occasionally.
You
know
some
casework
comes
to
me
and
we
do
deal
with
it,
but
generally
I.
I
Think
the
the
quality
housing
within
the
registered
you
know
is
is
quite
good,
but
you
know:
I'd
take
Council,
Carter's
point
I,
think
I
think
it
may
be
that
with
corvid
and
with
some
of
the
current
challenges
that
you
know,
people
or
and
occasional
cases
they
are
falling
behind.
But
where
we
are,
you
know
if
there
are
any
casework,
then
pass
it.
I
You
know
in
in
our
Direction
and
we'll
we'll
deal
with
it,
but
generally
I
mean
I'm,
not
aware
that
it's
actually
a
particular
problem
in
in
any
area,
but
on
the
flip
side,
I
think
it
is
quite
possible
that
some
of
the
challenges
that
construction
industry
is
facing
with
the
labor
market
and
the
materials
and
everything
that
you
know
you
know
that
is
a
backlog
of
repairs
as
well.
Yeah,
okay,.
E
Thanks
chair,
as
you
know,
there's
been
a
significant
issue
for
us
locally
in
Rothwell
Ward
about
the
availability
of
affordable
housing
and
how
the
market
has
so
ineffectively
delivered
accommodation
for
the
residents,
for
instance,
at
Sugar
Hill,
and
that's
that's
a
great
example
of
how
we
should
never
leave
affordable
housing
to
be
delivered
simply
through
the
market.
E
E
It
was
very
much
talking
about
algorithms
and
important
Partnerships
with
certain
organizations
and
whatever,
but
I
didn't
actually
get
to
the
word
location
until
about
five
pages
into
the
report,
and
actually
housing
is
all
about
location,
location
and
I,
found
it
very
difficult
as
a
local
councilor
to
navigate
how
I
would
be
able
to
influence
how
affordable
housing
is
delivered
in
the
area.
That
I
am
responsible
for.
E
This
feels
like
a
very
high
level
document,
and
a
particular
interest
to
me
as
well
is
the
issue
the
the
amount
of
space
taken
up
in
this
document,
to
explain
why
the
council
hasn't
taken
forward
a
housing
company
and
because,
as
you
know,
that
this
disappeared
as
a
budget
amendment
in
the
liberal
Democrats
budget
amendment
several
years
back
and
the
conservatives
have
put
it
forward
as
as
an
option
for
a
council
to
take
forward.
E
But
this
document
spends
a
lot
of
time
saying
why
it
can't
do
it,
even
though
you'll
think
about
it
in
the
abstract,
in
the
future,
like
you've
done
for
about
the
past
three
or
four
years,
and
the
biggest
objection
seems
to
be
from
those
registered
providers
which
sort
of
says
to
me:
aren't
they
going
to
be
the
competition
so
they're
going
to
have
an
opinion?
That's
Auntie
housing
company.
Aren't
they
and
remember,
as
I,
think
Council
cattle
was
alluding
to
a
lot
of
these
registered
providers.
E
There's
been
a
lot
of
conglomeration
going
on
over
the
past
few
years
and
very
few
of
these
housing
associations
that
used
to
have
very
local
connections
and
therefore
local
accountability.
Very
few
of
them
are
actually
based
in
our
locality
and
very
often
they
cover.
You
know
the
entirety
of
the
north
of
England
and
it's
very
difficult,
therefore,
once
again
to
get
that
element
of
locality
into
how
we
plan
our
affordable
housing.
E
If
it's
always
high
level
discussions
between
senior
housing
officers
and
Senior
planning
officers
and
Senior
officers
from
Partners
who
don't
actually
live
or
work
in
this
city,.
J
Thank
you,
chair
I
mean
the
complex
Market
issues
in
terms
of
what
councilor
Galton
has
just
just
touched
on
there
I
I
think
in
headline
terms.
What
I'd
say
is,
as
the
report
sets
out,
Leeds
has
been
a
successful
deliverer
of
houses.
J
In
recent
years,
we've
been
in
the
top
three
for
the
last
five
years
and
we
have
delivered
our
Target
number
of
houses
in
three
of
the
last
four
years
we
just
missed
out
in
2020
because
of
the
pandemic,
but
it
I
think
those
results
showing
the
general
strength
of
the
housing
market
in
the
city
on
one
of
those
strengths
is
that
it's
being
delivered
across
a
broad
range
of
areas.
The
city
center
is
currently
vibrant
in
terms
of
the
number
of
residential
units
built
under
construction.
J
The
volume
house
building
Market
is
active,
Brownfield
sites
are
being
regenerated
and
the
registered
providers
are
also
very
active
and
I.
Think
when
you
then
look
at
the
affordable
housing
element,
I
think
at
the
heart
of
this
plan,
that's
before
executive
board.
It
is
a
partnership
and
that
successful
delivery,
both
in
terms
of
affordable
housing
and
general
housing,
is
being
delivered
via
a
partnership
with
registered
providers
with
section
106
Runners,
with
social
housing
being
directly
delivered
by
the
council.
J
In
terms
of
then,
if
the
council
were
minded
to
want
to
set
up
a
specific
company,
that
would
be
the
council
deciding
to
compete
with
its
Partners,
who
are
providing
a
significant
element
of
the
affordable
housing
in
this
city,
and
we
would
be
competing
for
the
same
land
that
they
are
trying
to
acquire
and
I.
Think
it's
a
it's
against.
It's
in
that
context
that
the
conclusions
are
drawn
on
that
point.
D
Sorry
Chad:
what
does
that
matter?
Doesn't
the
competition
in
fact
Ensure?
If
we're
in
control
of
the
competition
we
get
better
houses,
better
Green,
Space,
I
I,
just
don't
think
I'm.
Sorry
Mr
Varian
that
look
you'd
have
to
hang
together
above
councilor
got
one
I've
highlighted
issues
now
about
the
current
social
Provisions.
D
It
seems
to
me,
although
that,
although
that
we're
we're
supporting
some
sort
of
clothes
shop
which
will
not
be
to
the
benefit
of
potential
tenants
and
not
and
I,
think
you
need
to
rethink
this
because
an
element
of
competition
might
keep
the
existing
social
providers
on
the
toes
and
I.
Don't
think
you
should
close
off
the
housing
company,
as
you
have
in
this
paper
and
I.
Just
don't
think
your
answer
holds
water
to
be
frankly,.
J
J
We're
currently,
second,
and
if
and
in
terms
of
the
projection
of
what
we
can
see
coming
forward
last
year,
we
had
an
all-time
high
in
recent
years
of
595,
affordable
houses,
that's
forecast
to
go
to
725
and
with
section
106
that
we
can
forecast
as
well,
that
could
exceed
a
thousand
affordable
homes
in
the
city
that
is
all
being
delivered
in
the
context
of
that
partnership
that
I've
outlined,
and
the
point
that
councilor,
golton
and
councilor
Carter
have
made
is
whether
the
council
wishes
to
compete
with
its
partners,
and
the
question
would
be
would
that
deliver
more
than
the
amount
of
affordable
housing
that
is
being
delivered
through
partnership,
as
set
out
in
this
paper,
and
my
conclusion
would
be
no.
H
There
is
provision
in
this
paper
and
there
will
always
be
Vision
if,
for
a
specific
need,
a
housing
company
to
set
up
a
housing
company
would
address
that
need,
and
competition
also
raises
prices,
and
there
is
a
huge
there
is
a
shortage
of
land
in
this
city,
and
we've
mentioned
allotments
we've
got
tree.
Planting
wanted
to
go
on,
we've
got
other
energy
needs
that
we'll
need
to
there's
huge
competition
for
this
land
for
the
land.
H
Our
our
development
City
development
are
incredibly
good
as
as
Council
Carter's
you
mentioned
at
Conjuring,
Upland
they're
they're,
very
Adept
at
it,
but
there
isn't
a
huge
swathe
of
land
that
that
you
know
we
are.
We
don't
want
to
be
in
a
fight
for
that
land
any
more
than
it
already
is
my
housing
company.
Would
there
would
be
certain
restrictions
as
Martin
has
outlined?
H
We
are
projecting
more
and
more
delivery
of
affordable
housing
through
this
partnership
that
if
we
delivered
it
just
through
a
housing
company
it
would
the
numbers
would
be
restricted.
So
I
would
I
I
this
report's,
advocating
keeping
that
flexibility,
keeping
that
partnership
going
where
we're
all
working
together
to
pre
to
provide
affordable,
decent
energy,
efficient
housing
for
people
in
the
people
of
Leeds
who
desperately
need
it
and
and
if
we
do
it
in
Partnership,
surely
that's
better
than
us
fighting
against
each
other
to
deliver
that
affordable
housing.
A
I,
don't
see
any
I
look
forward
to
further
praise
from
for
our
excellent
delivery
of
affordable
housing
on
the
next
paper
councilor
Galton
and
with
that
I
will
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
710,
I'll
take
everybody's
happy
with
those
and
we'll
move
on
to
item
10.
Please
councilor
Hayden.
H
Thank
you
very
much
leader,
so
this
is
closely
connected
to
the
last
agenda
item
and
the
council
housing
growth
program
and
it's
a
very
positive
report
that
liturgy
council
is
delivering
a
565
homes
acquired
completed
or
in
construction,
and
a
pipeline
of
just
total
interest
over
a
thousand
one
hundred
homes
identified
for
for
delivery.
H
So
as
well
as
this,
it
proposes
the
introduction
of
several
additional
sites
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
program
and
to
confirm
that
subsequent
procurement
and
contract
award
approvals
will
be
made
by
the
director
of
City
development
under
the
existing
scheme
of
Delegation
and
the
sites
are
set
out
in
the
report,
and
people
can
see
that
actually
in
terms
of
the
spread
of
those
sites.
H
It
goes
across
the
city
and
and
I'm
very
proud
of
the
work
that
goes
into
both
officer
and
the
political
level,
ensuring
that
we
are
producing
and
and
building
as
many
Council
houses
that
meets
the
demand
that
we
need,
because
that
demand
is
desperate
and
and
I'm
I'm
really
pleased
to
present
this
report.
Thank
you.
H
I
didn't
say:
I
was
confident
at
all,
and
it's
not
going
to
deliver
all
the
housing,
but
I
said
we're
working
very
hard
and
to
be
to
be
fat
with
the
right
to
buy
and
with
the
fact
that
yeah
we've
lost
so
much
Council
housing.
But
we
are
working
very,
very
hard
to
deliver
the
council
houses
of
people
that
people
need,
but
I
would
happily
build
thousands
more
and
we
need
thousands
more.
But
I
am
not
confident
that
we
are
delivering
all
that.
H
We
need
because
I
know
the
waiting
list
that
councilor
Rafiq
tells
us
about
and
that
our
own
inbox
will
tell
you
and-
and
yours
will
as
well
about
the
the
housing
need
in
the
city.
I
did
not
say
that
I
did
not
use
the
word
confident,
but
I
said
that
we
were
working
very
hard
to
deliver
the
council
house
that
people
desperately
need.
E
Okay,
then
well,
the
problem
is
you
see,
I
I've
had
a
look
at
the
last
paper
and
I'm
looking
at
this
paper
and
I,
don't
see
any
great
urgency
behind
them.
I
in
fact,
I
see
a
great
deal
of
complacency
in
the
face
of
an
affordable
housing
crisis
in
this
city.
E
What
we
said
earlier,
oh
we've,
got
the
second
second
highest
delivery
of
affordable
homes
in
the
country.
Well,
but
the
second
largest
local
Authority.
You
would
expect
that
to
be
the
case,
wouldn't
you
and
then
in
this
particular
paper
as
well.
I
I
have
criticized
from
the
very
beginning
how
the
council
has
been
very
formulaic
about
how
it
delivers
Council
housing
growth
in
the
city
and
how
it
actually
impedes
us
from
delivering
the
maximum
number
that
we
possibly
could,
because
we
want
to
do
it.
E
If
we're
only
going
to
follow
the
one
speed
program
that
we've
got
at
the
moment
laid
out
in
this
paper
and
Sugar
Hill
is
is
a
great
example
to
me
about
how
the
council
will
not
go
away
from
its
formula,
even
when
it
sees
an
opportunity
to
deliver
Council
housing
at
speed
and
I.
E
I
have
to
object
in
this
paper
to,
for
instance,
the
price
per
property
that
we
are
getting
from
the
private
sector.
Is
it
reasonable
to
pay
nearly
300
000
pounds
per
property
for
a
new
Council
house
to
make
sure
that
it's
to
the
highest
spec
possible?
When,
actually,
we
should
be
looking
at
the
best
beneficial
price
to
delivering
the
maximum
number
of
homes
over
the
shortest
possible
period
at
a
decent
level
of
quality
of
construction,
as
opposed
to
the
absolute
best
and
I
think.
E
This
is
where
this
paper
a
sort
of
overlooked,
that
further
commitment
that
we
should
have
to
the
people
of
Leeds,
which
is
to
be
the
major
deliverer
of
affordable
housing
in
the
city
and
for
the.
What
for
the
sites
that
are
mentioned
here,
which
are
being
celebrated
it
for
us?
It's
bittersweet,
because
the
site,
for
instance,
in
Rothwell,
which
is
going
to
get
the
First
new
Council
housing
in
over
three
decades
had
is
at
the
price
of
losing
a
very
valued
social
care
facility
for
older
people.
A
Thank
you
for
highlighting
the
building
more
Council
houses.
When
you
were
running
the
council,
councilor
Galton
I
think
that's
a
useful
talking
about
the
last
three
decades.
That's
a
youthful,
a
useful
picture,
a
useful
piece
of
information.
You've
brought
to
the
debate
around
how
we're
doing
better
than
when
you
were
running
the
council.
Would
anybody
else
like
to
come
back
please
counselor,
officially
and.
I
Just
just
on
that
very
point,
I
think
we
set
a
target
a
few
years
ago,
building
1500
homes
by
2025,
after
which
we've
actually
brought
268
properties
into
our
stock.
We've
got
333
new
Council
properties
currently
in
construction.
A
further
253
are
in
development
and
289
more
being
considered,
so
we
are
kind
of
despite
the
core
with
challenges.
Despite
the
current,
you
know,
challenges
around
construction
costs
and
and
labor
market
issues,
I
think
I
think
it
would
be
doing
it
extremely
well.
I
Yes,
I
we
accept,
you
know,
the
demand
is
much
more
than
than
actually
the
supply,
and
this
is
a
challenge
we
Face
in.
In
the
current
context
and
and
just
going
back
to
the
registered
providers,
I
think
I
think
what
we
do.
What
we
want
in
the
city
is
they
complement
it?
You
know,
as
well
as
what
we
build.
I
They're
they're
building
additional
properties
as
well,
but
the
biggest
Advantage
they
have
compared
to
the
council
is
that
they
are
able
to
access
government
grant
monies
as
well,
whereas
we've
got
to
use
our
monies
from
our
Capital
receipts
and
borrowing
which
isn't
so
I
think
I
think
you
know
we've
got
to
look
at
in
in
that
context
as
well,
but
I
I,
given
obviously
where
we
are
with
with
the
where
you
know
of
what's
happened
over
the
last
few
years
with
kovid
and
and
the
current
issues
I
think
I
think
you've
you've
got.
I
You
know,
Martin's
quite
right
that
we,
when
you
know,
there's
always
a
room
for
improvement,
but
we
are
up
there
in
terms
of
what
we
could
deliver
under
the
circumstances.
D
Yes,
just
the
initial
point
on
the
provision
of
of
more
Council
houses.
It
just
strikes
me
that
this
council
is,
as
in
a
number
of
other
areas,
completely
locked
into
group.
Think
I,
don't
think
we're
anywhere
near
adaptable
enough
or
looking
for
other
ways
of
making
sure
we
hit
the
target,
as
Stewart's
just
said
here
without
the
second
largest
city.
So
you
would
expect
us
to
have
the
second
highest
rate,
and
it
there
just
seems
to
be
a
huge
element
of
complacency
and
I
would
urge
you.
D
D
I
want
to
go
back
to
the
actual
table
and
after
the
first
comment
to
which
I
would
like
a
direct
answer
from
you,
is
that
on
page
776,.
D
You
have
a
site
in
finally,
a
worthley
ward,
interestingly
referred
to
as
old
field
Lane.
Now
you
may
be
aware
that
this
old
field,
Lane
sight
initially
also
included
TV,
Harrison's,
Sports,
ground
and
I.
Ask
you
directly
in
this
meeting.
Were
you
after
you
lost
the
high
court
case
when
two
and
a
half
thousand
people
in
the
area
asked
for
it
to
be
a
Community
Asset,
whether
you
were
still
intent
on
building
on
it?
And
you
said
you
weren't?
D
Is
it
just
the
periphery
of
the
site,
in
which
case
it
would
have
a
huge
impact
on
the
ability
to
maintain
and
keep
the
playing
field
site
as
a
playing
field,
and
I
want
an
answer
and
two
and
a
half
thousand
people
who
signed
a
petition
that
want
an
answer,
including
three
of
your
own
elected
members,
so
to
find
this
still
in
here
and
not
very
clearly
clarified
as
to
what
the
site
is
leads
me
to
believe
that,
yet
again,
you
are
looking
at
ways
of
getting
around
The
public's
wish.
A
Well,
I
miss
somebody's
had
the
weight
of
X
this
morning
with
that
performance,
we'll
be
getting
you
on
the
stage
for
Eurovision,
we'll
be
on
the
stage
with
Eurovision.
Yes,
I
do
know
old
field
player.
Now,
yes,
I
used
to
I'm
one
of
the
people
used
to
play
football
at
a
very
very
long
time
ago,
but
the
it
is
you're
absolutely
right.
There's
been
a
the
high
court
case
about
the
site
and
we're,
of
course,
looking
at
that
at
that
at
the
moment,
like.
D
You
refer
to
a
site
in
my
wall
and
I
have
already
informed
the
writer
of
the
report
and
the
director
that
the
comments
relating
to
the
two
of
the
award
members
have
no
idea
what
the
other
one
said
are
incorrect
about
the
Richmond
house
site,
which,
which
again
was
a
much-loved
Intermediate,
Care,
respite
care
provision
which
was
demolished,
and
we
specifically
said
that
we
were
in
support
of
either
an
extension
to
the
elderly
supported
scheme
at
Dawson's
Corner,
which
this
site
backs
onto
or.
D
Age,
restricted
development
over
55s,
we
did
not
say
General
housing,
reason
being
very
simple:
that
by
freeing
up
having
some
properties
of
a
smaller
nature,
there,
a
number
of
people
who
live
on
the
adjacent
estate
and
elsewhere
in
Pudsey
or
carving
fastly.
If
there
is
a
proper
local,
letting
policy
would
be
able
to
free
up
family
houses
and
we'd
have
two
wins,
and
that
is
not
what
the
report
says.
D
We
said
and
I
have
reminded
the
officers
of
that
and
received
an
apology,
so
I
want
to
make
it
quite
clear
that
what
two
out
of
the
three
members
said
was
exactly
that
that
we
would
like
Extra,
Care,
housing
or
accommodation
for
over
55s,
which
you
would
include
disabled,
adapted
properties
as
well,
and
made
that
very,
very
clear
and,
as
I
say,
I've
received.
The
appropriate
apology
for
I
won't
go
any
further
into
that,
but
this
report
does
not
reflect
what
we
said
so
I
obviously
checked
with
other
Ward
members.
D
G
Sorry
about
that
Jared
tinsel
chief
officer
housing,
yes,
you're,
absolutely
right!
Councilor!
When
we
met,
we
did
the
schools
building
Flats
on
the
site,
specifically
with
a
a
local,
letting
policy
that
would
Rim
around
trying
to
also
help
us
free
up
some
of
the
much
needed
family
Council
houses
within
the
world.
So
we
tend
to
give
preference
to
those
to
move
over
into
those
flats
and
also
we
we've
discussed
either
a
50
or
a
55
year
old
age
preference
in
there
as
well,
and
we're
actually
working
in
partnership
with
colleagues
in
housing
growth.
A
I,
don't
see
anybody
so
I'm
going
to
move
to
the
recommendations
on
page
759
and
I
take
it.
Everybody
is
happy
with
those
that's
great
and
we'll
move
on
to
your
next
item.
Please
councilor
Hayden.
H
H
An
action
plan
has
been
developed
which
details
the
specific
actions,
policy
and
infrastructure.
We
are
going
to
develop
to
ensure
we
work
towards
the
overarching
objectives
to
achieve
our
ambition
as
nobody
killed
our
seriously
injured
on
our
roads
by
2040..
The
leads
safe
roads,
Vision,
zero
25
strategies
sets
out
ambition
and
it's
attachment
for
adoption.
Following
an
extensive
consultation
and
engagement
exercises
between
March
and
April
22..
H
The
strategy
outlines
the
emerging
issues
facing
the
city
and
explains
this
move
away
from
a
target-based
approach
and
towards
a
safe
system
approach,
with
this
emphasis
on
wider
responsibilities
and
the
Five
Pillars
or
themes
that
will
scaffold
our
work
I'm
privileged
to
be
on
the
vision,
zero
board,
West
Yorkshire,
chaired
by
the
deputy
mayor
former
councilor
and
older
woman,
Alison
Lowe,
and
this
is
ambition
held
by
everybody
in
West
Yorkshire
and
on
the
command
Authority
and
I
would
like
to
give.
H
We
had
the
consultation
between
in
a
March
and
April,
but
I
would
just
like
to
recognize
and
thank
the
scrutiny
Bard
under
Council
trustworth.
For
their
work
over
the
last
few
years,
but
particularly
last
year
in
researching
and
hearing
the
evidence
that
underpinned
our
strategy
for
the
vision
for
vision,
zero-
and
you
know
it's-
it's
not
easy.
H
When
you're
hearing
lived
experience
and
from
people
who
have
been
affected
and
families
that
have
been
affected
by
loss
of
life
and
life-changing
injuries
as
a
result
of
collisions
and
I
just
want
to
thank
scrutiny
for
their
work
on
in
this
area.
I'll
leave
it
there.
Jeff.
E
Thanks
chair
I,
think
everybody
supports
this
document
in
terms
of
wanting
to
reduce
as
much
as
possible
fatalities
and
injuries
on
our
City's
streets.
E
My
biggest
issue
with
it,
however,
is
the
ability
to
implement
the
great
Ambitions
that
we
have
in
this
document
in
reality
and
I'm
going
to
go
immediately
to
what
are
the
resource
implications
section
which
begins
at
paragraph
29
on
page
796,
and
it
basically
said
if
you
look
at
item
30,
the
program
will
be
delivered
using
existing
staff
within
the
councils,
highways
and
transportation
team,
with
support
in
the
form
of
expertise
from
Key
partners
and
the
vision
zero
expert
panel
I'd
like
to
know
who
that
is.
E
I
was
assured
when
I
had
a
conversation
about
this
earlier
this
week,
that
there
would
be
someone
from
the
police
reporting
back
on
this
paper.
Is
anybody
here?
E
No
just
Council
officers,
okay,
which
doesn't
really
say
to
me:
it's
got
a
great
deal
of
partnership
involvement
in
it.
So
let's
look
at
some
practicalities.
First
of
all,
it
talks
about
investigate.
Oh
sorry,
I'm
going
to
go
back
to
paragraph
9B,
investigate
a
maximum
speed
limit
of
50
miles
an
hour
on
faster
roads.
This
is
one
of
the
outcomes
of
the
consultation
in
Rothwell.
We
have
a
50
mile,
an
hour
road
that
goes
past.
E
Our
local
park,
which
is
very
well
used-
and
we
put
an
application
in
two
years
ago
to
get
the
speed
limit
reduced
from
50
to
40
to
recognize
the
fact
that
it's
very
well
used,
and
it
would
be
really
useful
if
there
were
less
fast
cars
going
past
the
pedestrians
using
the
park.
That
was
two
years
ago.
We
still
have
yet
to
have
those
signs
changed
from
50
to
40..
E
So,
given
the
earlier
commitment
that
you
will
only
use
your
current
resources
available
in
your
highways
team,
how
soon
do
you
think
you'll
be
able
to
implement
the
suggestions
that
have
come
from
the
public
in
their
consultation
in
terms
of
the
reduction
of
speed
limits
on
certain
roads?
And
then?
Secondly,
can
you
please
tell
us
about
the
20
mile
per
hour,
Zone
expansion,
which
happened
several
years
ago,
which
was
intended
to
also
achieve
greater
safety
on
our
roads?
E
Where
different
to
the
previous
regime,
you
were
able
to
implement
schemes
without
putting
in
infrastructure
like
speed,
bumps
or
whatever,
and
therefore
cover
a
much
wider
area,
because
the
agreement
with
the
police
was
that
these
would
be
non-
sorry,
they
would
be
self-enforced,
basically
just
by
putting
a
20
mile
per
hour
Zone
on
them.
People
would
necessarily
drive
at
20
miles
per
hour
and
that,
therefore,
the
police
wouldn't
be
needed
to
enforce
them.
E
How
much
monitoring
has
taken
place
since
they
were
introduced
to
give
confidence
that
those
streets
are
self-enforced
and
that,
therefore,
the
there
is
no
need
to
introduce
a
infrastructure
or
B
an
enforcement
regime
agreement
with
the
police,
foreign.
K
You
chair
a
number
of
issues
there
if
I'll
try
and
cover
them
all
off.
Apologies
about
the
police
presence.
I
wasn't
personally
aware
of
that.
I
don't
think
Julian
was
either,
but
we
do
work
very
closely
with
the
police
and
there
are
several
matters
that
have
been
on
my
desk
this
morning,
where
we've
had
significant
clicks
involvement
and
support
for
progressing
initiatives
in
advance
of
DFT
guidance.
K
That's
been
reviewed,
we're
pushing
ahead
with
the
police's
support
locally
to
crack
on
with
that
work,
so
very
close
support
with
the
police
in
terms
of
resource
implications,
yeah,
it's
a
good
question
and,
and
perhaps
the
a
key
issue
here,
but
what's
the
the
the
thread?
The
golden
thread
throughout
this
paper
is
that
this
is
not
down
to
the
highway
authority
to
lead
city,
council
highways
and
transportation
service,
because
clearly
it
would
be
impossible.
K
The
the
thread
here
is
that
this
is
down
to
all
of
us
in
this
room,
all
of
our
community,
all
of
our
partners
to
join
together
to
get
behind
this
strategy
and
and
in
various
ways
some
of
it
will
be
physical
infrastructure.
Some
of
it
will
be
enforcement.
Some
of
it
will
be
education
and
persuasion
and
training,
but
to
get
behind
this
strategy
and
in
your
areas
of
responsibility
or
your
areas
of
influence,
to
try
and
persuade
people
to
change
their
behaviors,
and
it
requires
everybody,
not
just
highways
and
transportation
to
do
that.
K
Otherwise,
we
will
fail,
because
we
can't
do
this
on
our
own
and
I
think
that
is
clearly
spelled
out
in
the
report
after
this
hopeful
approval
today,
what
we
intend
to
do
is
to
confirm
work
up
the
action
plans
that
will
be
aligned
to
this
strategy,
and
we
will
then
go
out
to
discussions
with
Ward
members
in
their
communities
and
and
find
ways
and
with
our
partners
to
find
ways
of
moving
this
on,
and
there
will
undoubtedly
be
many
reports
that
will
come
back
to
this
executive
board
for
for
resources,
no
doubt,
and
certainly
for
updates
in
terms
of
a
couple
of
specifics
that
were
raised.
K
I'll
probably
have
to
take
them
away
the
specific
one
about
the
50
to
the
40.
If
that's
a
a
scheme,
that's
in
progress
and
that
we've
agreed
to
the
40
and
it's
a
matter
of
it
not
being
done
then
I'm
more
than
happy
to
pick
it
up.
If
it's
a
request,
that's
been
turned
down
because
it
doesn't
meet
the
national
criteria.
K
Okay,
well,
I'm,
more
than
happy
to
pick
that
up
and
follow
that
up,
20
mile
an
hour
now,
one
I
think
that
was
a
question.
So
we
have
an
agreement
with
the
police
where
we
we
measure
the
existing
speed
of
vehicles
in
that
area.
Before
putting
the
limit
in.
If
it's
at
a
certain
level,
the
signs
can
go
up
on
their
own.
K
If
it's
above
a
certain
level,
we
will
then
put
traffic
calming
in.
We
then
do
monitor
the
performance
of
those,
largely
probably
in
response
to
feedback
from
the
local
community
who
are
concerned
about
their
their
the
speed
of
vehicles
in
that
area
and
and
where
the
the
speed
limits
have
been,
let's
say
marginal
to
to
the
Limit
and
and
we've
just
put
the
signs
up,
but
the
measured
speeds
when
we're
monitoring
are
actually
way
in
excess
of
the
limit.
K
We
will
then
consider
putting
traffic
calming
in
to
allow
that
enforcement
to
take
place.
That's
the
agreement
we
have
within
the
police,
with
the
police
and
I
I've,
certainly
signed
off
reports
in
recent
times,
where
we
we
have
done
some
further
monitoring
of
the
20s
found
that
the
speeds
are
still
high
above
our
cutoff
point,
and
we
are
then
proposing
to
put
traffic
calming
in.
So
there
is
a
clear
line
that
we
we
have
drawn
with
the
police
on
our
approach
to
twenties
I
I,
hope
that
covers
lots
of
the
questions
that.
H
I
just
want
to
support
what
Gary
was
saying
about
this
report
and
the
vision
zero.
It's
a
cultural
change.
This
is
what
we
need
in
order
to
not
look
at
physical
things,
to
stop
people
driving
dangerously
or
too
quickly
and
but
to
have
a
cultural
change
which
has
happened
over
our
driving
over
the
last
few
decades
as
well,
that
our
roads
will
be
safe,
not
safer,
but
they
will
be
safe
and
that's
because
people
behave
in
a
safe
manner.
H
You
know
it's
and-
and
it's
and
it's
all
our
responsibility
to
make
sure
that
everybody
who
uses
the
roads
either
as
a
passenger
or
a
driver
or
as
a
pedestrian
or
any
other
is,
is
safe
on
our
roads
and
it's
all
our
responsibility.
So
I
just
want
to
highlight
and
thank
Gary
for
all
his
work
on
this
as
well.
D
I
can
certainly
give
you
instances
while
ongoing
at
the
moment
with
the
a647,
where
there
was
a
fatality,
not
unexpected
I,
have
to
say,
but
very
tragic
and
we're
still
awaiting
action,
and
for
five
years
a
number
of
us
I'm
not
trying
to
be
clever
about
this.
A
number
of
us,
including
the
police,
have
been
warning
about
it,
and
this
is
the
sort
of
thing
that
undermines
this
sort
of
paper,
so
Mr
Bartlett.
We
have
to
see
action
on
our
part
as
well
as
saying
to
everybody.
You
all
have
a
role
to
play.
K
You
chair
can
I
just
thank
Jillian,
McLeod
and
Lindy
McGarvey.
Next
to
me,
who've
done
a
lot
of
the
groundwork
here.
Council
Hayden,
kindly
directed
those
words
at
me,
but
I
must
congratulate
the
two
either
side
of
me
and
the
team,
because
they've
done
the
hard
yards
here,
I
I.
Thank
you
both
councilors
golton
and
Carter,
for
your
comments,
because
you've
both
expressed
support
for
this,
which
is,
is
good
to
hear
I.
K
Think
you'll
appreciate
as
well
that
virtually
every
piece
of
correspondence,
email
telephone
call
I
take
every
day
starts
off
with.
If
you
don't
take
action
today,
someone
will
be
killed
outside
my
property
and
I
I,
and
the
team
receive
hundreds
and
thousands
of
such
correspondence
each
day.
So
we
we
do
act
within
a
framework.
K
That's
set
nationally
and
obviously
locally
through
through
the
council,
and
we
we
feel
the
tragedies
as
much
as
others
when
they
occur
under
some
very
significant
ones
that
have
occurred
in
in
the
last
week.
Indeed,
over
the
last
weekend,
which
are
very
tragic
in
those
areas
and
I'm
sure
you've
read
about
them
in
the
Press
too,
all
I
can
say
is
that
we
we
will
do
our
utmost
and-
and
we
intend
to
bring
reports
back
to
this
executive
board,
highlighting
progress
or
lack
of
progress
issues.
K
Resources
I
am
currently
chair
of
the
vision,
zero
executive
board,
the
officer
group
with
Julian
Jackson,
just
moving
on
from
Bradford
and
I
sit
on
the
vision,
zero
board
with
councilor
Hayden
chaired
by
Alison
Lowe,
and
we
will
be
bringing
reports
through
to
those
meetings
as
well,
where
there
are
issues
and
and
progress
needs
to
be
stepped
up.
So
this
is
a
significant
shift.
We're
not
saying
this
is
easy.
K
We're
not
saying
we've
got
everything
in
place
by
any
means,
but
we
do
hope
that
we
can
all
move
together,
find
ways
of
working
together
to
make
this
work
and
give
us
the
best
chance
of
it
being
successful.
K
And
when
there
are
issues
and
perhaps
calls
for
funding,
we
can
work
together
to
find
ways
through
that
in
Partnership,
because
this
is
the
right
thing
to
do
in
my
career
that
spans
quite
a
few
years
now
that
I
feel
very
passionate
that
this
is
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
it's
pleasing
to
hear
that
of
the
general
support
today.
H
Just
to
reiterate
an
apologies
for
not
not
say
my
thanks
to
Jillian
and
Lindsay
as
well
the
work
that
goes
into
not
just
but
to
achieving
this
ambition
and
we'll
go
on
for
the
next
few
years
is
it's
astounding
I'd
also
like
to
mention
the
police.
H
They
are
a
key
partner,
very
involved
in
the
vision,
Bit
Zero
Bard,
very
involved
in
webinars,
and
that
preceded
setting
up
and
in
the
consultation-
and
they
are
very,
very
passionate
and
key
partners
and
I'm
very
like
I,
say
very
much
involved
in
this
and
I
want
to
thank
West
Georgia
police
for
I
wasn't
aware
they
were
going
to
be
here
today,
either
and
and
but
they
are
very
actively
involved
in
The
Bard
and
in
try
and
sort
out
in
Partnerships
a
lot
of
these
issues.
Thank
you.
A
H
This
will
be
my
last
paper,
you'll
be
all
delighted
to
hear
and
it's
a
design
and
costume
report,
and
we
propose
a
Redevelopment
of
number
six
to
32
great
George
Street.
So
it
seeks
approval
to
revise
post-pandemic
delivery
structure
of
the
Regeneration
of
George
Street
with
the
city
council,
taking
the
role
of
developer
of
143
bed
Hotel
over
ground
floor
commercial
units
and
proposed
Council
operated,
Leisure
and
well-being
facility.
H
It
is
proposed
that
the
council
adapters
development
manager
for
the
delivery
of
the
project.
The
society
is
ready
to
be
regenerated
and
on
the
bit
on
that
basis,
that
the
council
does
not
wish
to
sell
aside
a
proactive
approach
by
the
council
is
proposed.
H
The
report
seeks
approval
for
an
injection
of
9.26
million
into
the
capital
program
and
authority
to
spend
the
same
and
also
seek
approval
of
the
heads
of
terms
that
have
been
provisionally
agreed
with
the
hotel
operator
and
despite
the
impact
of
the
pandemic
on
retail
and
leisure
activities,
the
city
center
has
seen
positive
change
over
the
last
five
years,
with
the
Regeneration
of
the
Eastgate
quarter
and
the
ongoing
refurbishment
works
of
kerrgate
market
completion
of
the
Victoria
gate,
development,
the
City
College
building
and
the
playhouse
entrance
upgrade
the
proposals
for
the
Redevelopment
of
George
Street
Frontage
and
have
completed
refurbishment
of
the
ground
flower
accommodation
at
Westminster
building
will
continue
to
regenerate
and
enhance
the
area.
A
D
In
please,
just
very
briefly
on
this
paper
before
we
move
on
to
the
the
pink
later
on,
where
I
have
some
questions,
I
think
we
we
gave
assurances
a
few
years
ago
that
it
was.
It
was
our
intention
to
to
re-uh
to
redevelop
this
site
as
soon
as
possible,
so
I'm
pleased
to
see
it
coming
forward.
I
want
some
assurances
later
on
about
under
the
pinks
on
the
gym.
D
E
Thanks
Joe
being
somebody
who's
on
the
markets
board,
I
know
that
the
Traders
have
been
waiting
a
very
long
time
for
this
development
to
come
forward,
as
they
have
suffered
significant
disruption
through
a
lot
of
refurbishment
work,
and
it
was
hoped
that
the
two
areas
of
disruption
could
be
combined
so
as
to
limit
it.
E
A
I
know,
certainly,
my
conversation
with
Traders
are
akin
to
study
scheme.
Go
ahead
so
you're
quite
right.
There,
councilor
Galton,
all
right
and
we'll
have
a
look
at
the
recommendations
on
page
922
and
9-1-1
and
I
check
everybody's
happy
with
those
and
obviously,
we've
got
the
below
the
line
item
to
come
later.
That's
great!
Thank
you.
Council
Hagen,
we're
now
on
to
councilor
Helen's
portfolio
in
item
13.
Please.
G
Thank
you,
leader,
I'm
pleased
to
bring
this
annual
report
for
the
second
time
on
progress
against
our
equality,
Improvement
priorities
to
the
executive
board
for
the
2021-22
period.
G
The
report
attached
appendix
one
provides
some
examples
of
the
positive
work
being
done
across
the
council.
Individual
directorates,
as
you
will
know,
Leeds
is
one
of
the
most
diverse
local
Authority
areas
in
the
country
and
whilst
we
await
further
detailed
information
from
the
2021
consensus
against
protected
characteristics
such
as
race,
religion
and
disability,
we
expect
that
the
city
will
have
continued
to
become
more
diverse.
G
Over
the
last
10
years,
we've
recently
been
undertaking
work
to
draft
a
vision
for
equality,
diversity
and
inclusion
for
the
council
and
have
been
Consulting
on
this
with
a
number
of
groups
and
communities.
We
hope
to
bring
this
to
exec
bar
later
this
year.
This
work
will
underpin
the
priorities
and
equality
and
diversity
policy
that
we
have
already
in
place
and
Will
reinforce
our
commitment
to
this
agenda.
G
G
E
Yes,
thanks
Jeff
there
are.
There
is
a
lot
of
good
work
here,
but
it
is
notable
that
some
departments
are
focusing
on
very
specific
areas
as
part
of
their
priorities,
whereas
other
departments
are
able
to
do
some
heavy
lifting
over
a
broader,
Spectrum
and
I.
Think
it's
something
that
we
can
take
a
look
at
through
the
equality
Champions
group
as
the
year
progresses,
because
we
want
to
encourage
as
much
as
possible
from
the
Departments
and
yes
thank
you.
G
Absolutely
Council
golden
Jeff
and
I
spoke
about
this
yesterday.
We
have
been
a
little
bit
behind
with
our
Champions
program,
but
it
is
coming
to
fruition.
So.
A
Great
thank
you.
I
will
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
1014
I.
Take
it
everybody's
happy
with
those,
and
we
move
on
to
my
paper,
which
is
I
just
found
it
on
my
laptop,
which
is
the
we
anticipate
and
hope
this
is
the
last
covid-19
update
that
we
bring
after
the
last
two
and
a
half
years
of
city
in
the
country
and
people
living
here
have
been
through.
I
won't
say
a
lot
in
introducing
this
paper.
A
It
reviews,
like
I,
say
our
covert
response
over
the
last
two
and
a
half
years
and
obviously
in
in
doing
so.
All
our
thoughts
are
with
those
families
in
Leeds
that
have
lost
people
to
the
virus.
Over
that
time,
the
recommendations
look
at
first
of
all
thanking
Council
staff
and
partners.
Who've
worked
on
the
covert
response.
A
Looking
at
how
we've
talked
about
this
and
we've
talked
about
having
a
city
ambition
about
how
some
of
the
ways
we've
worked
together
as
a
city
during
Coburg,
we
can
take
the
best
of
that
and
look
about
how
we
tackle
challenges
that
are
coming
forward
and
then
obviously
I
think
Council
iPhone's
coming
at
this
point.
It's
a
little
bit
about
how
Although
our
overall
response
and
Recovery
plan
is
coming
to
an
end.
A
There's
we
still
know
that
the
virus
is
present
in
the
city
and
the
work
we're
doing
to
vaccinate
people
on
as
we
move
forward
that
work
certainly
isn't
coming
to
an
end.
Council
Arif
wants
to
come
in.
Please
yeah.
G
Unfortunately,
it's
not
the
end
of
covid,
and
so
we've
got
to
stay
vigilant
and
whilst
it's
it's
good
news
that
the
rates
are
low,
they
are
expected
to
rise
in
the
coming
winter
months,
alongside
with
the
and
a
particular
Rising
flu
case,
so
I
suppose
just
staying
Vigilant
and
making
sure
that
we
can
continue
to
do
the
work
we
need
to
do
with
our
more
vulnerable
residents
and
but
also
to
just
on
record.
My
thanks
to
everybody.
Who's
worked
on
on
the
last
couple
of
years,
and
hopefully
it
is
the
last
paper.
Thank
you.
D
A
comment
to
thank
the
various
officers
who
briefed
me
copiously,
but
it's
been
well
received,
certainly
by
me
and
I,
think
it's
an
abled
elected
members
to
to
reassure
their
constituents
about
what
the
council
was
doing
and
indeed
what
the
government's
been
doing
and,
let's
hope,
you're
right-
and
this
is
the
last
report
but
I
think
the
the
key
word,
as
you
said,
is
Vigilant,
and
we
just
need
to
be
careful
that
we
don't
do
things
that
inflame
the
situation.
D
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I'll
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
1135
and
I.
Take
it.
Everybody
is
Happy
with
those
recommendations,
it's
great
and
we'll
move
on
to
council,
Cooper's
papers
and
item
16.
Please.
C
Thank
you
leader,
and
the
first
item
is
around
the
Financial
Health
monitoring
Farm
on
Far
and
the
paper
set
before
us
and
sets
out
12.1
projected
of
spend
at
this
period
and
and
that
these
are
within
the
direct
pressures.
The
further
proposals
to
mitigate
these
pressures
will
come
to
our
executive
board
in
October
I.
Think
the
report
makes
it
clear
that
any
collection
fund
income
shortfall
also
will
have
an
impact
on
the
revenue
budget
for
next
year.
C
The
report
also
identifies
it's
still
requires
us
to
make
16.5
million
pounds
worth
of
savings
already
in
this
year
and
and
that,
where
it
can,
the
report
does
go
into
some
detail
on
the
increased
inflation
rising
cost
of
living
in
Pay
award
that
have
that
we've
been
able
to
go
into
the
details
so
far
in
this
particular
month.
A
D
D
I
would
like
to
ask
that,
in
view
of
the
announcement
today,
when
Victoria
bradshaws
had
time
to
properly
assimilate
what
that
means,
bearing
in
mind
that
we
have
forward
bought
a
lot
of
our
energy,
so
I'm
not
sure
how
much
the
present
announcement
today
will
help
the
situation,
but
I
think
we
need
to
know
that
before
we
can
properly
pass
judgment
and
obviously
the
pay
award
is
very
concerning
Annie
and
what
it
might
end
up
as
and
what
implications
that
that
would
have
for
services
and
indeed
for
jobs.
D
So
the
sooner
we
know
that
the
better,
and
indeed,
if
there
are
developments
between
now
and
the
next
exec
board
and
I'm
sure
councilor,
got,
would
agree
with
me
here
that
we
need
to
be
briefed
as
quickly
as
possible
on
what
those
implications
are
on
the
on
the
individual
Department
projected
overspans.
The
question
to
Victoria
really
is
what
confidence
has
she
that
these
Irish
bands
can
in
some
measure
be
addressed?
D
And,
secondly,
quite
clearly
will
take
procurement
as
one
area
where
it's
set
out
savings
to
be
delivered
this
year.
They
look
as
though
they
are
not
going
to
be
delivered
and
an
explanation
on
that.
Please,
although
I
do
accept
its
early
early
doors
yet.
L
Thank
you
chair
on
the
first
question
around
how
confident
I
am
about
these
being
addressed.
I
think
at
the
moment
were
working
hard
to
come
up
with
action
plans.
L
They'll
be
reported
to
Executive
Board
in
October
we're
working
against
a
highly
inflation
economy,
and
this
is
having
a
big
impact
on
the
impact
for
services
and
the
demand
for
those
services.
So,
although
we
are
trying
to
forecast
and
looking
at
mitigation-
and
it
is
really
difficult
in
at
the
moment
and
in
this
time,
but
we
will
come
with
robust
action
plans
to
the
next
executive
board,
where
we
can
identify
savings
to
amazing
to
manage
this.
L
There
are
a
number
of
avenues
that
we're
looking
at
at
the
moment
and
one
around
energy
around
how
we
reduce
our
consumption
Etc.
So
we
will
bring
that
through.
Obviously,
it's
early,
we've
only
just
put
the
freeze
on
some
of
the
non-essential
spreads
and
also
on
some
recruitment.
L
So
it's
early
yet
to
see
what
the
impacts
of
that
will
be,
but,
as
I've
said,
we'll
come
back
in
October,
and
but
we
are
in
position
that
this
position
will
be
getting
getting
worse
than
it
is
at
the
moment
and
I
think
we've
just
got
to
keep
a
tight
Reign
on
what
we're
actually
the
expenditure
that
we're
undertaking
and
in
regard
with
procurement
saving.
L
When
we
actually
put
this
saving
into
the
budget
last
year,
we
weren't
experiencing
the
higher
levels
of
inflation
that
we
are
now
so.
The
savings
that
we
were
expecting
through
the
contracts
is
not
being
achievable
due
to
them.
The
costs
of
Goods
services
and
materials
increasing
significantly,
and
what
we
are
doing
around
looking
at
mitigation
is
around
management
of
contracts,
so
again
we'll
be
bringing
something
to
Executive
Board
in
October
around
how
we're
trying
to
mitigate
that
through
robust
management
of
the
contracts.
C
Yeah
also
I
mean
I.
I
would
look
just
like
to
say
that
it
is
a
really
Dynamic
situation
that
we're
in
with
the
climate,
the
financial
climate
and
various
announcements
come
in.
So
we
are,
in,
you
know,
a
a
difficult
situation
that
does
seem
to
mean
that
we
are
gonna.
You
know
be
a
increased
pressures
upon
us
as
a
local
Authority.
C
You
know
due
to
the
various
things
that
you
Outland
yourself,
including
the
the
energy,
the
pay
award
and
and
inflation
rate
costs
within
the
current
climate.
At
the
moment,
I
can
absolutely
assure
you
councilor,
castle
and
counselor
goal
and
that,
because
it
is
so
Dynamic
and
more
than
happy
to
ensure
that
you
are
briefed
at
every
step
of
the
way
the
pay
offer
has
been
made,
but
it
has
not
been
accepted
currently.
So
we
await
the
outcome
from
from
that
offer
soon.
E
Joe
yep
I
think
everyone
appreciates
the
difficult
position
in
terms
of
the
fluidity
of
the
financial
certainties
that
you
have
to
work
with.
E
However,
we
we
did
have
some
assurances
that
there
would
be
some
service
reviews
coming
forward
from
different
departments
which
need
to
take
place
no
matter
what
the
outside
Financial
environment
looks
like
and
I
just
wanted
to
ensure
that,
after
comments
I
made
last
year
at
this
stage
that
the
template
for
the
reporting
of
such
service
reviews
is
going
to
be
consistently
adhered
to.
If,
if
you'll
note,
the
the
service
review
briefing
notes
that
came
from
adults,
Services
were
exemplary,
you
might
not
liked
what
was
in
them,
but
they
were.
A
D
A
A
C
Thank
you,
leader
and
I'm
afraid
happy
about
the
preserved
financial
difficulties
of
the
council
is
a
stretch
for
me,
I
have
to
say,
but
nevertheless,
he'll
continue
with
the
financial
papers
on
the
executive
board
today,
the
next
of
which
is
the
medium-term
financial
strategy,
which
is
a
five-year
strategy
setting
out
the
council's
commitment
to
provide
services
that
meet
the
needs
of
the
people
locally.
The
council
is
financially
resilient,
stable
and
sustainable
for
the
future
and
that
the
use
of
the
resources
protects
from
line
services.
C
So
the
report
does
go
into
some
detail
about
the
estimated
general
fund
budget
Gap
over
the
next
five
years,
which
is
estimated
in
total
of
182.6
million
over
that
five
years,
and
indeed
63.6
million
is
estimated
for
next
year's
budget
as
well.
C
The
the
report
goes
into
detail
around
the
housing
revenue
account
and
provides
a
five-year
estimate
with
regards
to
level
of
resources
available
through
the
dedicated
schools
Grant
as
well,
and
also
a
10-year
Capital
program.
I
shall
leave
it
at
the
leader.
D
Again,
it's
and
it's
not
a
criticism,
let
me
say,
but
it's
it's
a
document
of
his
spots
and
maybes.
Isn't
it
really
because
we
know
the
simple
truth
of
the
matter?
Is
things
are
moving
so
quickly?
We're
not
quite
sure
where
we
are.
However,
I
am
concerned
about
a
couple
of
items.
I
just
want
to
to
raise.
D
First
of
all,
the
capital
program
I
do
want
to
know
the
level
of
capital
we
are
proposing
to
spend,
which
is
unsupported
by
outside
sources.
Either
government
grants
or
other
sources
of
funding
and
I
would
like
that
as
soon
as
possible.
D
D
Certainly
somebody
will
given
that
there
is
a
a
guidance
on
the
level
of
of
rent
increase
that
will
have
an
effect
on
the
housing
revenue
account
and
also
might
have
an
ability
of
indicating
exactly
what
will
be
available
for
spending
on
repairs,
and
there
may
well
be
some
pressure
there,
given
the
fact
that
building
costs
are
arising,
so
I
would
likely
to
Clarity
on
that.
Please.
G
So
the
the
formula
was
CPI
plus
one
percent
I
think
they
are
Consulting
at
the
moment
on
five
six,
seven
percent,
so
it
will
be
three
or
four
percent
less.
A
percent
is
around
about
two
and
a
half
million.
So
I'll
give
you
a
scale
of
the
impact
it
will
have.
G
G
B
Yeah
I
was
just
going
to
make
the
obvious
point
that
the
the
earlier
we
receive
a
settlement
detail
from
the
government,
the
better
for
the
sector
as
a
whole,
because
it
allows
us
to
to
plan
properly
and
to
consult
on
a
on
a
timely
basis
and
and
the
same
with
the
the
pay
situation
as
well
in
terms
of
settlement
there
so
I
think
anything
that
anyone
around
the
table
can
do
to
sort
of
try
and
Achieve
that
as
soon
as
possible
this
year,
it
would
be
really
appreciated
and
really
vital.
B
I
think
that
you
know
we
get
the
recognition
amongst
the
many
other
pressures
to
be
fair
on
you
know,
on
on
the
government,
in
terms
of
who
this
is
hitting
and
the
effect
it's
having
local
government
isn't
exempt
from
that
we're
right
in
the
middle
of
it.
So
yeah.
We
just
need
to
make
that
case.
I
think
collectively.
A
Thank
you,
Tom
and
I
agree
with
that.
I,
don't
see
any
more
comments.
So
do
we
all
agree
the
recommendations
on
page
1220,
six
I
take
everybody.
Does
it's
great
to
move
on
to
item
18?
Please.
C
Thank
you
later.
The
next
report
is
the
health
and
safety
and
well-being,
performance
and
Assurance
report.
This
is
an
annual
report
that
comes
to
executive
board
for
information
and
approval.
C
Things
have
all
been
going
in
the
right
direction,
there's
nothing
to
not
really
of
any
issue.
The
executive
board
need
to
be
made
really
Mara,
where
about
the
in
terms
of
the
accidents
are
less
than
the
previous
years,
and
and
the
claims
against
the
council
are
also
less
for
insurance
purposes.
C
I
think
it's
just
probably
noteworthy
for
exec
Bard
members
actually
for
the
teams
who
have
been
going
out
and
about
during
this
period,
particularly
for
covid,
to
ensure
that
buildings
and
our
employees
were
all
you
know
able
to
work
in
a
safe
environment
and
I
just
want
to
pass
my
thanks
on
to
the
teams
that
were
really
dedicated
and
committed
to
that
thanks
leader.
A
C
Thank
you
and
thank
you
leader
and
my
last
report
as
well
for
today.
So
this
item
19,
is
the
review
of
West
Yorkshire
joint
Services
agreement.
That's
been
brought
before
the
executive
board,
so
the
the
paper
asked
the
executive
board
to
approve
a
refreshed
joint
agreement
for
West
Yorkshire
joint
Services,
it's
some
18
years
since
this
agreed,
the
giant
agreement
has
been
reviewed
and
updated.
So
it's
it's,
it's
quite
needed.
I
would
say
yeah
not
before
tax
could
wear.
C
Sharks
are
for
those
who
aren't
maybe
aware
where
sharks,
Rejoice
Services
is
a
long-standing
shared
service
that
provides
a
range
of
statutory
and
Commercial
Services
far
and
on
behalf
of
the
five
local
councils,
one
of
which
is
Leeds.
So
far,
following
a
review
of
its
governance.
Last
year,
the
Joint
Committee
agreed
to
refresh
and
modernized
the
agreement,
and
that's
the
attached
paper
in
here
today.
Three
other
councils
have
already
approved
this
document
with
calderdale
due
to
do
so
imminently
as
well.
C
I
understand
I
know
that
we've
had
excellent
representation
from
our
members
at
West,
Yorkshire
giant
Services,
with
councilor
Graham
and
councilor
Flynn
in
a
particular
are
really
getting
through
to
the
nitty-gritty
and
the
detail
of
this.
This
agreement,
and-
and
we
are
grateful
for
the
work
that
they
have
undertaken
on
our
behalf,
I-
have
to
say
so
and
due
to
a
lot
of
that
work
that's
taken
place.
The
agreement
is
now
reflects
the
position
that
those
committee
members
and
leads
feel
is
appropriate
for
this
paper.
