as
well
I'm
going
to
turn
to
the
items
at
the
top
of
the
agenda
and
the
first
one
is
the
first
one
is.
This
worked
brilliantly
went
in
rehearsal
this
morning.
A
Appeals
chair
the
first
one
is
appeals
against
refusal
of
inspections
of
document.
Thank

A
Thank

Channel.
Thank
you
and
I'll
turn
to
the
board
to
see
if
there's
any
Declarations
of
interest,
I
don't
see

turn
to
item
five
and
minutes
to
confirm
the
minutes
of
the
meeting
from
the
21st
of
September
were
correct.
A
Everybody's
happy
with
those
that's
great
we're
on
to
our
first
portfolio,
which
is
Council
Cooper,
please
and
item
six.
E
Thank
you
leader,
and
the
first
of
my
items
is
the
monthly
reporting
of
the
Financial
Health
monitoring
of
the
organization
and
as
last
month,
obviously
we
were
reporting
some
some
issues
around
overspend
within
the
organization
on
the
budget
that
we
set
back
in
February
I
agreed
to
bring
further
detail
to
this
executive
Bard
on
the
action
that
we're
taking
to
bring
those
director
of
spends
back
into
balance
by
the
end
of
the
year.
E
So
the
report
does
have
some
of
those
detail
that
we've
got
all
that
we've
worked
on
already
and
at
the
next
executive
board
and
following
ones
I'll
continue
to
bring
further
updates
on
on
that
work.
There
is
the
report
does
project
another
spend
of
just
over
20
million
pounds
in
the
director
pressures,
which
are
detailed
within
the
report,
and
the
budget
also
still
assumes
the
savings
that
we
set
out.
E
E
It's
not
just
in
Leeds
that
we're
we're
experiencing
Financial
pressures,
but
it's
it's
certainly
nationally,
and
the
organizations
and
public
bodies
are
under
such
Financial
pressure
at
the
moment
really
to
the
items
that
are
acting
as
mostly
at
the
moment
are
the
costs
of
energy,
of
the
inflationary
rate
that
I
understand
has
increased
again
this
morning
to
10.1
percent
and
the
pay
award,
which
was
we
didn't
budget
for
all
of
that
pay
award,
if,
indeed,
it
is
accepted
by
the
members
of
of
our
staff,
so
I'll
leave
it
there
for
now
later
and
take
questions.
D
Thank
you
just
on
the
obviously
Children
and
Families,
as
ever,
a
huge
pressure
that
we
see
that
there's
reference
in
terms
of
savings
on
Little
Owls
nurseries.
Is
there
a
a
time
scale
when
those
proposals
are
going
to
come
forward
in
more
detail.
E
You
chair
and
we're
currently
working
with
the
director
and
looking
at
the
proposals
around
the
Little
Owls.
It
will
be
coming
depending
it'll
be
coming
to
Executive
Board
in
November
or
December,
and
but
it
will
be
before
Christmas
on
the
proposals
around
them.
Thank
you.
E
Just
to
add
to
what
Victoria
said,
I
thought
it
was
important
actually
that
we
brought
the
proposed
savings
to
this
Executive
Board
in
terms
of
the
Financial
Health
monitoring.
Even
if
we're
waiting
for
some
of
the
detail
around
timing
and
other
matters
as
well,
because
executive
board
members
did
Express
the
need
to
see
them
at
the
earliest
possible
point.
So
I
think
we've
done
that.
We've
we've
brought
it
early
enough
so
that
you
know
it.
We
are
being
transparent
about
what
we're
looking
at.
F
Yes,
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
follow
up.
That
sentiment
is
agreed
that
what
has
come
forward
is
very
useful
in
terms
of
the
level
of
detail,
that's
been
offered,
and
it
should
all
go
well
for
the
savings
proposals
that
come
from
the
different
departments
in
December
in
particular,
I.
Think
it's
really
encouraging
that,
given
all
the
different
departments
in
the
councils,
different
responsibilities
have
pressures
of
Their
Own.
F
They
are
now
handing
out
their
professional
expertise
to
other
parts
of
the
council
where
their
savings
priorities
might
be
in
an
area
which
isn't
one
of
their
natural
strengths,
such
as
the
expansion
of
the
Residential
Care
aspect
for
us
here
in
Leeds
for
the
children
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
that
report
coming
forward,
showing
how
the
development
department
has
enabled
delivery
of
that
to
be
progressed
thanks,
chair.
E
Well,
thanks
for
acknowledging
the
work,
that's
happening
across
Council
to
actually
try
and
and
deal
and
Tackle,
with
the
problem
that
we're
facing
in
in
such
difficult
Financial,
challenging
circumstances
and
I
just
like
to
say
thanks
to
the
directors
and
their
teams,
for
the
work
that
they
are
progressing
around,
trying
to
bring
in
a
balanced
budget
by
the
end
of
the
year
and
also
looking
at
next
year's,
really
difficult.
E
A
B
Please
yeah
I
was
just
gonna,
reinforce
the
point
that
the
the
paper
in
cancer
Cooper
have
made
around
this
affecting
the
the
whole
sector
and
having
been
recently
been
in
Regional
and
National
meetings.
B
I
think
the
pressures
that
we're
experiencing
are
very
consistent
across
I
think
particularly
cities
and
urban
areas,
but
actually
across
the
whole
sector,
and
it's
one
that
we're
trying
to
work
together
on.
You
know
across
across
parties
through
the
LGA
and
also
through
the
networks
that
we've
got
to
make
sure
that
the
decisions
that
have
been
made
in
the
next
few
weeks
nationally
take
into
account
the
the
challenges
that
you
know.
The
sector
has
got
generally
so
I
thought
it
was
worth
just
re,
reiterating
that
and
reinforcing
it.
A
E
Thank
you
chair.
The
next
item
is
also
on
the
organization's
finances,
but
looking
further
forward
to
to
next
year
and
indeed
the
medium
term
financial
plan.
E
E
E
Under
the
consultation
framework,
the
report
notes
the
increase
in
the
budget
gap
of
26.5
million
to
150
million
pounds
over
the
next
three
years
that
was
published
in
September's
medium-term
Financial
strategy.
More
than
half
of
this
is
relating
to
next
year's
budget.
E
E
And
they
are
also
detailed
within
the
report
on
the
appendices
that
you
see
with
spoken
to
scrutiny,
chairs
and
they've
also
agreed,
as
we've
done
for
the
last
couple
of
years
to
have
working
groups
set
up
working
groups
to
review
all
of
the
savings
proposals
relevant
to
them
following
the
publication
of
the
exact
broad
papers
and
I.
I.
E
Think
that
dates
and
times
are
yet
to
be
confirmed
on
that,
but
suffice
to
say
that
we're
working
with
scrutiny
and
been
as
as
as
open
and
transparent
as
we
can
around
these
proposals
and
difficult
savings
proposals.
That
may
well
come
not
just
today,
but
in
the
for
in
the
next
coming
months
that
we
will
have
to
look
at
with
such
a
gap.
Financial
gap
facing
us
foreign.
F
Thanks
chair
I
just
wondered
if
there
had
been
any
risk
assessment
done
at
the
level
of
the
Leeds
city
council,
corporate
body,
potentially
eating
itself
by
the
amount
of
savings
proposals
here
that
involve
basically
raising
internal
charges
from
one
Department
of
the
council
to
another
or
between
Leed
City
Council,
unless
you
actually
combined
Authority
and
and
that
the
actual
sum
gain
is
just
less
Public
Services
being
delivered
because
they
become
too
costly
for
each
department
to
deliver.
F
So
that's
the
first
question
and
the
second
one
is
the
street
lighting
consumption
saving
in
the
development
departments.
F
Proposals
I'd
like
a
little
bit
more
detail
now,
if
that's
okay,
chair
because
I
know
that
I
would
have
thought
that
the
Energy
savings
would
have
been
Incorporated
within
budgets,
but
it
feels
like
they're
coming
in
as
a
bit
of
a
windfall,
and
it
really
is
good
news
if,
with
all
of
the
price
increases
that
we've
got
at
the
moment
for
electricity,
that
we're
still
able
to
have
a
nice
surprise
in
terms
of
the
costs
for
lighting
our
streaks.
So
a
bit
more
detail
will
be
useful.
Thanks,
chair.
E
Shall
I
take
the
first
one
on
Martin's?
Take
the
second
one,
so
the
first
one
around
the
internal
charges.
They
are
all
reviewed
to
ensure
that
we're
still
achieving
value
for
money,
but
it
is
reasonable
that
we
do
recharge
on
the
increases
from
pay
and
price
inflation
and,
as
would
do
any
private
sector
organization.
So
it
is
reasonable
that
we
do
that
to
reflect
the
true
cost
of
those
Services.
Thank
you.
C
Yeah,
thank
you
chair
so
I
mean
members
will
recall
that
we
brought
a
business
case
forward
in
terms
of
transferring
to
LED
lights
across
our
street
lighting
portfolio
that
had
a
forecast
level
of
savings
within
it.
This
represents
the
final
year
and
we
know
from
the
previous
years
what
that
has
meant
in
terms
of
consumption.
So
that's
why
we're
able
to
bring
forward
that
extra
additional
forecast
of
190
000
as
we
complete
that
led
transition
in
the
final
year.
C
F
As
a
supplementary,
so
I
would
have
thought
that,
given
the
increase
in
the
price
of
electricity
that
we
would
have
been
getting
less
profit,
do
you
see
what
I
mean
because
we're
still
going
to
consume
the
same
amount
of
electricity,
but
it
was
on
a
much
lower
price
when
the
profits
were
calculated
in
the
original
proposal.
So
I'm
surprised
that
it's
stayed
the
same
then.
C
Yeah
so
that
I
mean
I
can
get
you
a
detailed
note
on
that,
for
if
you
want
to
examine
it
further
Council
golton,
but
this
relates
to
the
forecast
reduction
in
consumption
as
a
consequence
of
the
LEDs
and
that
they
are
more
efficient
in
terms
of
the
energy
that
they
utilize.
So
is
that
forecast
that
it
Council.
D
Yeah
thanks
two
questions.
First
of
all,
have
we
done
anything
to
quantify
the
cost
of
absenteeism
across
the
council
and
and
if
so,
what
is
it
and
in
terms
of
the
proposals?
I
know,
there's
there's
other
directors
Yet
to
Come
forward,
but
just
on
cities
of
development,
clearly
making
Savings
in
demand.
Led
directorates
is
difficult
enough,
but
obviously
City
development
is
the
the
income
generation
side
for
Council.
G
We
have
done
some
work
on
quantifying
costs
which
I
don't
have
to
hand,
but
I
can
I
can
and
share
later
the
the
absence
does
kind
of
fall
in
in
different
categories,
I
suppose,
and
that's
actually
in
certain
areas.
G
It
has
to
be
covered
by
overtime
and
agency,
where
actually
Staffing
levels
have
to
be
maintained
and
then
another
areas.
Obviously
it
tends
to
be
absorbed
by
other
staff
who
actually
are
present.
So
there's
a
there's,
a
some
actual
cost
which
we
are
putting
out
which
which
we
can
quantify
fairly
easily.
The
other
one
is
a
productivity
cost
which
is
which
is
less
I,
suppose
easily
quantifiable.
But
we
can
give
you
an
indication
of
how
Trends
have
gone
and,
over
the
last
couple
of
years,.
B
Tom,
please,
the
the
point
about
City
development,
I
think
is
a
you
know,
is
one
of
the
central.
B
B
Appropriate
house
building
in
the
city
means
that
over
a
long
period
we
get
an
increase
in
council
tax
base
and
we
get
an
increase
in
business
rates
based
as
well
and
Martin's
Department
sort
of
supports
that
from
a
council
perspective,
and
it's
important
that
we
you
know,
we
recognize
that
and
that
that
continues
more
particularly,
we
do
get
in
right
into
the
detail
with
Victoria's
help
of
you
know
where
there
are
Income
generating
elements
of
what
the
council
does.
B
We
have
tried
very
hard
to
protect
that
and
to
recognize
that
it's
a
false
economy,
as
you
say,
to
cut
that
back
too
much,
but
the
the
brick
wall
is
feels
like
it's.
You
know
it
it
it's.
It
feels
as
hard
as
it
has
done
in
terms
of
making
those
balances
between
the
demand
pressures
and
the
and
the
economic
ones,
and
we
just
will.
That
goes
back
to
the
point
about.
B
You
know
where
the
overall
settlement
lands-
and
you
know
the
the
flexibility
that
we
have
when
we
set
the
budget
later
in
the
year,
but
we're
doing
everything
that
we
can
I
think
to
to
strike
that
balance
in
the
right
way
and
and
look
at
the
net
budget.
E
Yeah
thanks
and
thanks
to
officers
for
answering
some
of
that,
but
I
I
do
feel
I
need
to
come
in
at
this
point
and
and
just
say
that
to
add
to
our
Tom
said
about
it
feeling
the
hardest.
E
E
We
are
we've
already
accumulatively
had
2.3
billion
pounds
taken
out
of
our
car
budget
and
it
gets
to
a
point
where,
where
there
is
no
more
fat
to
cut,
there
is
no
more
fat
in
public
service
at
Leeds
city
council
to
cook,
because
we've
been
suffering
austerity
and
a
loss
of
proper
funding
for
public
service
and
local
authorities
for
over
12
years
now,
and
that's
a
choice
that
this
government
made
back
in
2010
and
that
has
continued
under
whoever
is
dressed
up
as
prime
minister.
E
At
this
time
or
whoever
you
know
those
prime
ministers
have
been.
They
have
continued
to
cut
Public
Services,
not
just
local
Authority,
but
all
other
public
bodies
as
well:
West
Yorkshire
police,
for
instance,
the
funding
impacts
they've
had
on
Cuts
as
well
West
Yorkshire
fire.
We
could
go.
We
could
go
on
and
on
but
ourselves
as
an
organization
lead
city,
council,
2.3
billion
pound
taken
out
of
the
purse.
Well,
I'd
say:
we've
hit
the
wall
already.
A
E
Thank
you
later
item.
Eight
is
the
Leeds
digital
Lead
City
digital
strategy.
E
E
It
has
been
written
for
this
city
perspective,
as
opposed
to
a
council
one
with
the
objective
of
encouraging
other
key
players
to
contribute
to
its
delivery.
Firstly,
the
strategy
focuses
on
the
getting
the
digital
foundations
right
in
data
management
and
use
connectivity
and
infrastructure,
digital
inclusion,
digital
skills,
digital
and
data
ethics.
E
F
Thanks
chair,
it's
it's
a
very
good
paper
and
it
highlights
what
the
benefits
are
to
make
sure
that
as
many
of
the
lead
citizens
are
digitally
cognizant
I
come
from
a
generation
which
either
really
gets
it
or
really
doesn't
and
I'm
afraid
I'm
in
the
really
doesn't
category
and
I
need
enabling,
quite
often
on
the
on
on
my
digital
equipment,
but
one
of
the
things
I
do
recognize
as
I
look
at
these
different
strategies,
whether
it's
here
or
at
West
George,
combined
Authority
as
well,
is
we
keep
talking
about
how
digital
is
the
future?
F
How
it's
going
to
be
one
of
the
key
areas
where
we
will
build
our
economy
and
where
we
need
to
enable
it
to
happen
in
terms
of
providing
the
Innovation
district,
for
instance,
that's
all
about
a
digital
and
whatever,
but
whenever
I
visit
a
digital
company
that
is
meant
to
be
the
future,
it
always
appears
to
me
to
be
quite
middle
class
and
of
a
certain
diversity
quotient.
Shall
we
say
so
I
appreciate
that
the
delivery
of
health
is
much
better
delivered
through
making
sure
that
people
can
access
apps
so
that
we
can.
F
They
can
control
their
own
help
and
there's
a
lot
of
that
in
here.
What
I'd
like
to
see
more
of
is
how
we
take
our
theories
about
inclusive
growth
and
turn
it
into
reality
in
terms
of
us
having
assurance
that
our
digital
Focus
also
brings
benefits
to
not
just
people
coming
into
the
city,
because
they
think
it's
digitally
very
well
connected,
but
also
for
those
people
already
in
the
city
to
be
able
to
make
their
living
in
the
digital
world
and
I
didn't
see
that
in
this
paper,
but
it
might
be
somewhere
else.
A
G
Please
maybe
come
on
pause
and
then
maybe
ask
Martin
or
Eve
I
think
was
at
the
back
to
say
something
as
well
about
the
skill
side
of
things
and
times
very
good
view,
so
I
think
on
the
digital
inclusion
in
terms
of
the
public.
We
do
actually
have
a
dedicated
team
that
done
lots
of
work,
award-winning
work
to
actually
bring
people
to
digital
who
would
otherwise
not
be
able
to
afford
it
or
not.
G
Have
the
skills
to
actually
use
it,
and
you
know
I
think
that's
been,
you
know,
award-winning
of
parts
and
and
we
want
to
kind
of
continue
with
that,
because
I
don't
think
the
answer
is
to
avoid
a
digital
but
to
actually
bring
people
to
it.
But
on
the
school
side,
I
think
we
we've
also
been
doing
a
lot
of
work
with
in
terms
of
forming
academies
and
ways
through
for
people
to
enter
into
digital,
who
would
previously
maybe
not
fit
through
the
profile
that
you've
talked
about
before.
H
So
hello,
my
name
is
I'm
chief
officer
for
culture
and
economy,
just
we,
we
launched
recently
our
future
Talent
plan,
which
is
our
approach
to
making
sure
that
we
support
people
and
businesses
in
Leeds
with
the
right
skills
to
to
thrive
going
forwards,
and
there
was
a
big
element
of
that
related
to
digital
digital
skills
and
off
the
back
of
that,
we've
been
doing
a
huge
amount
of
work
to
showcase
the
opportunities
that
exist
in
the
digital
sector
to
those
that
are
not
already
in
the
sector.
H
So
we
ran
our
first
digital
careers
festival
at
the
beginning
of
September,
which
included
a
number
of
community-based
events
right
across
the
city,
but
a
major
event
that
Leeds
Arena
around
700
1700
people
attended,
and
we
had
great
support
from
the
sector
for
that,
because
the
sector
actually
wants
to
diversify
their
Workforce
as
well,
and
we
intend
to
continue
to
work
with
them.
In
relation
to
that,
that's
off
the
back
of
some
work.
H
We
also
did
last
year
where
we
did
some
research
into
racial
diversity
in
the
digital
sector
in
the
city
as
well
again,
using
a
partnership
approach
with
businesses
in
the
city
and
driving
that
forwards
and
using
our
convening
power
as
a
council
to
drive
that
and
then,
of
course,
it's
not
just
about
working
in
the
sector.
It's
about
being
able
to
found
a
business
and
kind
of
take
the
opportunity
to
exist
in
that
space
as
well.
So
the
work
that
we're
doing
around
our
Innovation
ecosystem.
H
We
have
an
explicit
object
if
in
that,
to
try
and
ensure
that
we
work
to
remove
the
barriers
to
entry
for
high
potential
entrepreneurs,
because
they're
typically
about
not
having
access
to
finance
not
being
connected
into
the
right
places
to
be
able
to
found
a
business
and
the
only
way
you
can
remove
those
barriers
is
basically
systematically
trying
to
remove
them
over
time
through
all
the
interventions
that
you
make
into
the
Innovation
ecosystem.
And
we
do
that
through
every
kind
of
aspect
that
we
that
that
we
do
design
into
the
business
support.
We
provide.
A
D
Thank
you
thanks.
Chad
I
can
reassure
counselor
Gordon,
having
spoken
to
people
who
work
in
the
sector,
they're,
not
all
hoodie
wearing
middle
class
techies,
and
when
you
do
speak
to
them.
One
of
the
things
they
will
say
about
reports
such
as
this
is
18
months
is
not
a
long
time
to
deliver
something
like
this
so
terms
of
expectation
management.
D
We
should
probably
keep
that
in
in
mind
and
and
just
a
comment
chair
really
on
full
fiber
to
get
to
90
of
coverage
by
2026
is
a
a
great
Target
unless
you're
the
10,
who
don't
have
it
and
those
people
typically
are
in
the
the
rural
areas
that
surround
surround
the
city.
D
So
often
you've
got
a
problem
where
people
after
covered
moved
back
homes,
they're
working
from
home
longer,
so
they
can't
innovate
properly
without
that
technology
and,
of
course,
if
you
are
in
a
disadvantaged
community
and
there's
those
areas
in
order
to
access
a
lot
of
connectivity
these
days
as
well,
you
really
need
that
full
fiber.
So
as
we
roll
out
5G
I
think
we're
really
ought
to
look
at
whether
we
we
do
an
outside-in
approach
rather
than
inside
out.
D
Birmingham
combined
Authority
are
really
well
ahead
with
this
now
and
so,
as
we
look
to
the
5G
rule
out,
I
really
do
think
we
ought
to
be
looking
at
those
areas
left
out.
First,
as
we
move
towards
the
city
center.
A
Thank
you.
Councilor
Stevenson,
as
I
represent
the
world
next
to
yours,
I'm,
well,
aware
of
both
of
the
issues
and
some
of
the
imaginative
solutions
that
we
have
come
up
with
for
some
more
isolated
communities
around
using
things
like
microwave
links
and
whatnot,
as
well
as
cabled
infrastructure,
of
course,
and
I.
Think
we'll
probably
a
fine
City
like
Birmingham
is
I
think
we've
got
a
little
bit
more
of
a
rural
area
in
our
area
to
cover
than
Birmingham.
A
And,
of
course
it's
not
just
having
looked
at
this
in
the
past.
It's
not
just
rural
areas
that
suffer
poor
connectivity
to
full
fiber
Broadband.
Some
of
our
high-rise
social
housing
again
is
is,
is
not
often
well
served.
We've
had
we've
got
projects
in
place
to
make
sure
people
in
in
social
housing
in
the
city
as
well
have
access
to
fiber
and
also
the
other
area.
That's
particularly
particularly
challenging
is
regenerated
Brownfield
sites.
A
Quite
often,
internet
infrastructure
is
based
on
historic
phone
connections
and
areas
that
were
very
industrial,
don't
have
great
connectivity.
So
it's
all
areas
we've
been
working
on
closely
on
that
one.
A
If
anybody
else
wants
to
come
on
unless
great,
if
there's
no
further
questions,
I
will
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
78
and
I'll.
Take
it.
The
board
is
happy
with
those.
Thank
you.
So
we'll
now
move
on
to
item
nine,
please
Council
Cooper.
E
Thank
you
leader,
and
the
last
paper
in
my
section
of
the
executive
board
today
follows
on
from
the
theme
of
of
digital
really
and
Lead
City
digital
strategy,
and
it's
a
report
around
the
car
business
transformation
program
which
aims
to
transform
Finance
procurement,
HR
and
payroll
activities.
E
The
car
business
transformation
program
will
be
funded
from
Capital
receipts,
which
cannot
be
used
to
cover
Frontline
Revenue
costs.
Around
50
of
the
costs
are
covering
the
salaries
of
existing
staff,
who
have
been
deployed
to
work
on
this
program
phase.
One
of
the
delivery
will
be
to
replace
the
finance
system.
The
current
Finance
system
has
to
be
replaced
because
it
does
not
have
a
viable
path
for
upgrade,
is
highlighted
by
external
auditor
Auditors
as
needing
replacing
and
does
not
have
the
required
Financial
functionality
that
we
need
internally.
E
That
needs
developing
and
it
has
lower
levels
of
support
as
well.
So
so
that's
the
the
main
things
I
wanted
to
pull
out
of
the
car
business
transformation
paper
chair.
Thank
you,
foreign.
F
Thanks
chair,
as
I
pointed
out
earlier,
I'm,
not
the
greatest
Arbiter
of
digital
Solutions.
So
my
main
concern
on
this
one
was
understanding
the
value
for
money
and
10
million.
Quid
is
a
lot
and
even
more
concerning,
of
course,
was
that
it's
going
to
be
paid
for
out
of
capital
receipts
which
tend
to
be
generated
all
over
the
city
in
terms
of
things
being
sold
off
by
the
council.
So
we
need
to
make
sure
that
the
benefit
is
felt
everywhere.
F
So
one
of
the
things
I
did
do
chair
is
talk
to
some
senior
officers
about
their
experience
of
the
current
Finance
system.
Considering
that
we
have
a
very
acute
focus
on
managing
Finance
at
the
moment,
thanks
to
the
economic
environment
and
I
was
told
in
no
uncertain
terms
how
ridiculously
dysfunctional
the
system
is
in
enabling
people
to
manage
their
budgets
within
departments
without
some
very
serious
workarounds,
for
instance.
A
Thank
you
Council
golden.
If
there's
no
more
comments
on
this
paper,
I'll
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
121
and
I.
Take
it
everybody's
happy
with
those
it's
a
great
thanks,
councilor
Cooper
and
we're
on
to
Council
of
fixed
papers.
Please
item
10.
I
Yeah,
this
paper
recommends
that
five
high-rise
housing
block
across
two
sides,
namely
alternate
Heights
and
gifting
Gates,
emptied
ready
for
Demolition
and
site
clearance
to
enable
new,
modern
housing
development.
I
The
five
blocks
are
of
large
Panel
System
construction
were
built
in
1960s,
the
background
section
of
on
page
two
kind
of
explains
and
gives
an
overview
of
the
construction
type
age
and
condition
of
the
blocks
concerned.
We've
actually
carried
out
option
appraisals
and
and
considered
the
the
cost
for
of
refurbishing
the
blocks
or
Demolition
and
cycling
to
allow
for
new,
modern
housing
to
be
built.
I
Given
the
nature,
scale
and
net
length
of
the
works
structural
Works
in
what
what
options
would
require
residents
to
move
out
of
the
blocks,
creating
new
modern
housing
on
the
sites
would
be
lower
cost
and
lower
risk
than
refurbishment.
It's
therefore
proposed
that
all
residents
of
the
block
side,
we
house
the
buildings,
emptied
and
subsequently
demolished
ready
for
development
for
new
modern
housing.
I
We've
actually
carried
out
a
very
positive
resident
engagement
sessions
by
mid-september
when
the
report
was
actually
written,
we've
consulted
about
three
three
quarters
of
the
residents
and
the
Fairly
positive.
Most
of
them
and
everyone
all
the
tenants
will
be-
will
be
offered
Friday,
Monday
and
direct
status
and
they'll
be
given
a
home
loss,
compensation
and
disturbance
payments
which
currently
I
think
are
legally
amounts
to
7
800
pounds.
I
There
are
three
owner
occupier
resolders
who
will
be
offered
to
buy
back
their
properties,
the
total
cost
to
deliver
the
proposal
activities
estimated
at
5.3
million
for
for
refurbishment.
The
indicative
cost
is
approximately
113
billion,
which
averages
about
26
million
per
block,
whereas
on
on
the
other
side,
if
we're
to
redevelop
that
would
cost
us
about
100
million,
which
amounts
to
about
20
million
per
block
I'll
I'll.
Stop
then
I'll
take
any
comments
or
question
on
this
stage.
Yeah,
okay,.
D
Yeah
thanks
chair,
I
I
am
I
know
the
all
Woodly
members
have
been
working
hard
with
accounts
in
the
community
to
to
to
solve
this
issue
as
well,
and
there
is
support
in
the
community.
I
think
the
only
comment
we'd
make
is.
D
The
grant
is
clearly
quite
welcome
to
those
tenants
who
gives
them
other
options
as
well,
but
the
the
priority
Asda
to
sort
of
raises
a
few
eyebrows,
I'm
I'm
sure
councilor
goldton,
might
wish
to
say
something
about
the
experience
of
his
residents,
who
were
offered
priority
a
or
elsewhere
at
the
Sugar
Hill
close
their
experience.
Because
my
experience
from
case
cases
I
do
as
a
counselor
is
I.
Think
the
wasting
list
of
priority
is
about
six
months.
So
you
know.
D
Is
it
the
case
that
these
tenants
are
going
to
be
giving
a
sort
of
higher
priority
to
get
above
those
who
are
already
in
priority
air?
Or
where
do
they
sit
in
the
in
the
waiting
list
of
everybody
else
in
the
city
who's?
Whose
promise
here.
J
Thank
you,
counselor
yeah.
Normally,
somebody
would
get
banned
there
for
a
particular
property
type
and
then,
depending
on
the
supply
and
demand
in
the
city,
they
could
be
waiting
a
couple
of
years
before
they're
a
house.
What
we're
doing
with
these
residents
should
this
be
agreed
to
their
it's
award
boundary
and
direct
alert,
and
we
will
then
have
a
team
that
will
work
with
the
individuals
to
assist
them
through
directs
on
management
moves
as
the
Sun
Signs
referred
to,
so
that
we
could
help
them
move
out
as
quickly
as
possible.
J
We
don't
ideally
want
to
have.
We
don't
want
this
to
take
more
than
two
years
to
empty
the
blocks.
It's
an
entirety
and
we
don't
really
want
odd
individuals
left
in
there
as
well.
So
we're
also
looking
at
trying
to
work
with
residents
to
face
some
of
the
allocations
in
there,
so
that
we're
trying
to,
for
example,
remove
a
floor
at
a
time
in
there
so
that
we
don't
have
people
left
suffering
from
vandalism
or
any
social
behavior,
or
anything
like
that.
I
F
Thanks
chair
two
questions,
really
the
first
one
is
you've
mentioned
how
demolition
of
the
blocks
and
rebuilding
a
development
would
cost
a
hundred
million,
whereas
refurbishment
would
cost
130
million
I'd
like
to
understand
what
it
is
that
makes
it
30
million
pounds
more
expensive
to
refurbish,
given
that
for
most
buildings
according
to
our
our
own
philosophy,
we
should
try
and
reuse
before
we
get
rid
of
and
replace,
and
that
that
brings
me
back
to
the
proposal
for
the
Demolition
and
replacement,
because
I
wanted
to
understand
what
the
difference
would
be
between
retention
and
refurbishment
and
Demolition
and
rebuild,
because
I
would
have
thought
that
the
carbon
footprint
would
be
bigger
in
terms
of
taking
forward
a
demolition
and
rebuilding
on
site
rather
than
refurbing.
F
What
was
there
and
when
I
looked
at
the
section
that
talked
about
zero
carbon,
which
is
paragraph
30
on
page
165
.?
It
talks
about
how
the
carbon
footprint
will
be
measured
by
what
will
happen
during
the
proposed
demolition,
where
the
site
energy
consumption
will
be
measured
in
terms
of
liters
of
fuel
used
and
potable
water
consumption
arising
from
the
use
of
plant,
which
isn't
quite
the
same
thing
as
measuring
the
carbon
footprint
of
complete
demolition
of
five
huge
buildings
and
re
in
in
statement
through
new
development.
F
J
A
couple
of
points
there
I
think
your
first
point,
counselor
was
around
the
the
estimated
cost
that
we
provided
in
the
report:
130
million
to
refurb
and
approximately
100
million
to
redevelop
the
site.
The
construction
of
the
sites,
the
large
Panel
System
blocks-
requires
some
expensive,
concrete
work
to
building
a
block
switch
which
focuses
on
a
rather
large
chunk
of
that
amount.
J
We
we
are
confident
that
we
can
demolish
and
rebuild
a
much
lower
cost
than
that.
The
examples
that
I've,
given
that
we
get
to
the
approximate
130
million
charges.
Well,
they
mainly
focus
on
the
fabric
of
the
building
and
the
services,
but
they
would
also
potentially
be
additional
costs
to
keep
the
blocks
decent,
such
as
kitchens
and
bathrooms
that
are
included
in
there
as
well,
so
that
that's
a
conservative
cost
as
well
that
we've
provided
in
terms
of
the
your
question
around
zero
carbon.
J
D
J
My
I'm
I'm
committed
at
the
moment
so
at
least
replace
the
units
on
a
one
by
one
basis.
There
is
detail
in
the
report
that
we're
also
looking
to
take
down
some
garages
which
will
widen
the
Footwear
that's
available
for
us
and
hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
increase
the
numbers
there.
It
is
beneficial
for
us
if
we
can
increase
the
numbers,
because
any
additional
properties
were
build
over
and
above
the
300
would
be
able
to
obtain
homes.
England
grant
funding
to
do
that.
J
A
Thank
you.
Are
there
any
more
comments
on
this
paper?
I,
don't
see
anybody
wanting
to
come
in
so
I
shall
cancel
gong.
Please
I
was
just
about
to
come
to
the
recommendation.
So
does
the?
If
there's
no
further
comments,
does
the
board
support
the
paper?
I
note
Council
Galton
reserves,
his
position.
A
I
take
everybody
else
is
happy
great.
Okay.
We
shall
thank
you,
councilor,
rafik
and
we'll
move
on
to
item
11.
Please
counselor,
then
thank.
K
You
chair,
so
my
first
paper
is
on
adult
social
care
charging.
It's
the
update.
We
said
we'd
bring
to
exec
boards
after
the
meeting
in
December
2021,
where
we
agreed
that
as
part
of
the
council's
response
to
its
funding
precious,
we
would
remove
the
subsidy
provided
to
clients
through
two
to
one
home
care
provision
and
that
we
would
also
remove
the
maximum
assessed
contribution
which
at
that
point,
was
kept
at
492
pounds.
K
So
it
was
reported
that
a
possible
increase
in
client
income
of
4
billion
could
be
delivered
from
this
action,
but
that
was
very
heavily
caffeated
because
it
was
based
on
the
cost
of
care
packages
and
not
individuals
resources,
because
many
people
hadn't
been
financially
assessed
to
see
what
they
could
afford
to
pay.
So
as
individual
Financial
datas
have
become
clearer,
a
revised
figure
of
3.2
million
has
been
calculated,
and
this
has
also
been
impacted
by
people
leaving
the
service.
For
example,
some
people
have
moved
into
Residential
Care.
K
Some
people
have
sadly
passed
away
and
we've
also
had
new
entrants
into
the
service.
The
caveat
still
applies
in
that,
while
people
have
been
individually
financially
assessed,
we
don't
know
at
what
point
that
funding
will
diminish
to
the
extent
that
people
are
then
entitled
to
further
Council
support
and
also
the
care
cap
and
the
changes
to
financial
thresholds
will
impact
upon
the
impact.
That's
recoverable.
However,
the
shortfall
in
income
is
not
a
financial
pressure
because,
because
of
the
caveats
and
the
unknowns,
we
actually
budgeted
to
receive
2.4
million
from
the
exercise.
K
So
the
financial
plan
has
been
delivered
and
will
continue
to
contribute
to
sustaining
adult
social
care
and
Leeds.
The
process
in
response
to
public
consultation
was
that
we
phased
in
the
approach,
so
people
paid
their
additional
amounts
25
after
three
months,
then
another
25
and
then
the
full
amount.
After
nine
months.
The
paper
notes
that
there's
a
national
minimum
income
guarantee
for
all
clients,
so
nobody
should
be
paying
more
than
they
can
afford.
K
No
care
was
reduced
without
either
social
or
an
OT
review
and
Kath,
as
the
Director
has
the
discretion
to
waive
charges
or
services
or
contributions.
If
it's
judged
that
it
will
cause
severe
financial
hardship
so
where
care
has
been
has
been
reduced
through
a
review
process,
that's
provided
a
financial
benefit
to
the
individual
and
and
the
council
we'd
originally
thought
that
266
individuals
will
be
impacted
and
the
actual
number
was
199,
plus
55
news
service
users.
We
thought
208
people
would
be
impacted
by
the
change
to
two
to
one
carers.
It
was
216.
K
K
I'll
leave
my
comments
there.
Thank
you
chair
and
Catherine.
John,
Crowther
and
I
are
here
to
answer
questions.
If
people
have
them.
Thank
you.
D
I
think
as
we
were,
the
opposition
group
has
made
its
objections
to
this.
Some
aspects
of
this
known
previously
and
I
think
they
that
they
remain,
as
as
it
is
specifically
around
the
one
carer
and
two
carer
change,
I
think
there's
no
beating
about
the
bush.
We
view
this
as
a
disability
tax,
the
more
help
you
need,
the
more
disadvantaged
you
are
by
this
change
with
an
aging
population.
D
It's
not
just
the
people
you're
affecting
today
the
numbers
just
given
that
are
impacted.
It's
those
in
future
as
well.
So
I
think
we've
made
our
our
views
clear
previously
and
there's
no
change
there.
Chair.
K
Just
to
be
really
clear
in
case
Council,
Stevenson
didn't
affiliate,
hear
this
when
I
first
said
it,
people
who
had
direct
payments
were
always
paying
for
the
number
of
carers
that
they
needed,
removing
this
for
people
who
we
organize
care
for,
remove
that
inequity
and
we're
also
very
clear
that
it
is
not
in
any
way
in
breach
of
equality's
legislation.
Thank
you.
A
K
Thank
you.
So
this
is
the
report
of
the
child
poverty
strategy
Thrive.
This
is
a
twice
yearly
report
that
we
bring
to
exec
board
and
it
should
be
read
alongside
the
communities
paper
on
the
cost
of
living
crisis
and
we've
taken
care
not
to
duplicate
that
paper
and
for
this
one
to
focus
on
issues
directly
relating
to
child
poverty.
K
However,
both
papers
do
feel
very
timely,
given
that
we've
had
news
today
that
inflation
is
at
its
highest
rate
for
40
years.
This
paper
specifically
documents
the
ongoing
scourge
of
child
poverty
affecting
24
of
children
in
Leeds
or
just
over
36
500
children,
and
this
figure
will
of
course
become
higher
as
we
go
into
winter.
The
reduction
in
the
20
pound
weekly
at
uplifting
Universal
Credit,
is
again
referenced
as
it
has
been
in
previous
papers
because
it
is
attributed
as
being
such
a
significant
factor
in
plunging
families
into
poverty.
K
The
round
Chief
Foundation
estimated
that
this
one
change
alone
caused
an
additional
200,
000
families
to
go
into
poverty
and,
as
I've
said
here
before,
poverty
and
child
poverty,
is
such
a
stark
concrete
example
of
the
importance
of
national
policy.
Child
poverty
has
risen
as
a
direct
result
of
12
Years
of
austerity
and
cruel
cuts
to
welfare
benefits
like
the
benefits
cap,
like
not
getting
child
benefit
for
more
than
two
children,
which
are
decisions,
they
are
choices
that
have
been
made
and
directly
impact
on
Children
and
Families.
K
There
is
also
a
reference
in
this
paper
to
deductions
from
benefits,
which
is
happening
to
a
lot
of
families,
usually
to
pay
back
some
kind
of
loan
to
benefits,
and
it's
one
of
the
main
reasons
given
for
people
approaching
food
banks
and
there's
been
a
cross-party
attempt
to
stop
this
practice
of
deducting
money
from
benefits,
but
it
was
defeated
by
the
government.
We
are
also,
of
course,
now
facing
the
possibility
of
benefits
not
rising
in
line
with
inflation
and
again,
there
is
cross-party
campaigning
about
this.
K
This
paper
in
references
to
increased
demand
locally
and
nationally,
which
is
placed
on
children's
social
care.
As
a
direct
result
of
the
rise
in
child
poverty,
there
is
a
well-researched
link
between
being
in
poverty
and
being
in
need
of
children's
social
care
support
and
between
poverty
and
being
taken
into
care
because
of
the
extreme
pressure
that
that
families
are
placed
under.
K
K
And
there
is,
of
course
the
incredible
work
of
communities
which
will
be
is
further
developed
in
Council
Harlan's
paper
such
as
the
Heat
and
eat
Cafe
spaces
being
set
up
in
my
ward
and
similar
spaces
across
the
city,
which
we
will
increasingly
need
to
support
families
as
we
go
into
Winter.
Thank
you,
chair.
F
Yes,
thanks,
Jeff
I,
don't
think
anyone
doubts
the
awful
predicament
that
is
faced
by
a
lot
of
people
working
in
children's
services
in
the
face
of
the
worsening
economic
environment.
F
But
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
a
couple
of
Statistics
that
are
in
here,
because
I
have
over
the
years
complain
about
this
report.
In
that
it's
very
good
at
Gathering
statistics
and
saying
this
is
how
it
is.
But
it's
not
very
good
at
saying
this
is
what
we're
going
to
do,
but
in
the
very
first
paragraph
it
talks
about
how
there
are
36
and
a
half
thousand
children
currently
living
in
poverty
in
the
city
and
then
two
paragraphs
down.
F
It
talks
about
how
there
are
1,
306
Children,
looked
after
in
the
city
and
one
of
the
things
that
we've
always
made
a
point
of
as
a
as
a
party
on
the
council
is
pointing
out
how
we
should
always
look
after
those
1306
that
are
in
care.
F
But
we
should
never
forget
about
the
36
and
a
half
thousand
children
that
are
behind
them
and
that
whenever
the
council
overspends
in
some
areas,
then
there
are
going
to
be
consequences
in
others,
and
one
of
the
key
issues
that
this
report
highlights
for
me
is
that
there
is
going
to
be
a
lot
more
problems
coming
our
way
if
we're
not
able
to
get
in
early
and
do
preventative
action
in
our
neighborhoods
for
those
36
and
a
half
thousand
children
that
there
are
out
there
that
are
at
risk
through
being
in
Greater
poverty
as
we
go
forward
and
that's
why
we
are
so
very
keen
to
ensure
that
our
investor
save
projects
in
making
sure.
F
For
instance,
we
have
enough
of
our
own
residential
care.
So
we're
not
paying
two
or
three
times
the
rate
to
send
our
children
elsewhere
is
achieved
at
PACE,
and
it's
just
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
now
to
give
context
to
what
some
people
might
think
is
just
continuing
continual
complaint
from
our
side.
But
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
it's
consistent
and
it's
driven
by
a
particular
need,
which
is
we
shouldn't,
always
be.
K
I
I,
don't
think
Leeds
City
Council
in
any
way
could
possibly
be
accused
of
neglecting
children
or
of
not
investing
in
preventative
work.
It
is
the
absolute
Cornerstone
you
know,
of
children's
services
practicing
Leeds,
it's
how
we've
achieved
our
outstanding
rating.
It's
how
we've
brought
down
safely
the
number
of
children
looked
after
and
while
that
number
has
crept
up
over
the
last
year,
or
so
it
is
still
lower
than
it
significantly
lower
per
10
000
than
it
was
when
we
were
rated
inadequate.
You
know,
we've
still
got
all
our
children's
centers.
K
We've
still
got
our
early
health
support,
we've
still
got
to
use
service,
and
that
is
about
keeping
children
out
of
care,
which
quite
rightly
you've
highlighted.
You
know
it's
a
very
is
it
you
know
it
takes
a
lot
of
resource,
but
also
the
outcomes
for
children
in
care
are
not
good,
and
that
is
why
we've
invested
hugely
and
continue
to
in
prevention,
where
other
councils
have
cut
preventative
Services,
because
that's
how
we
get
better
outcomes
for
children.
Thank
you.
D
I
just
want
to
pick
up
on
on
one
of
those
other
prevents
to
points
there's
education's
mentioned,
partly
in
the
report,
mainly
around
neet
activity
and
and
uifs,
but
I
think
it
were
helpful
to
see
more
on
actual
actual
impact
of
educational
attainments
and
the
works.
That's
going
on
across
the
city
in
areas
of
of
disadvantage.
D
Even
in
in
constrained
Economic
Times.
There
are
some
fantastic
educational
institutions
across
the
city,
working
hard
on
on
Earth's
disadvantage
and
having
real
success
and,
and
although
the
short-term
instruments
of
the
state
have
been
discussed,
of
course,
one
of
the
the
longer
term
instruments
that's
most
effective
for
helping
people
out
of
poverty
is
to
upskill
them
and
help
them
enter
a
global
Marketplace
and
within
that
some
of
the
great
Partnerships
that
are
going
on
between
the
private
sector
and
education.
D
Student
in
the
city,
I
think
I
mentioned
before
the
boot
repair
company
down
in
South
Leeds,
which
are
in
partnership
with
local
primary
schools
to
provide
opportunities
for
parents
to
work
around
school
hours,
so
actually
helping
people
and
move
off
of
Universal
Credit
and
into
work
by
flexible
work,
Arrangements
and
I.
Think,
as
we
look
at
this
for
next
year,
it
would
be
good
to
see
how
some
of
those
Partnerships
are
can
be
reflected
in
terms
of
outcomes.
In
reports
like
this.
L
Council
Stevenson
I
think
you're
right
that
our
educational
institutions
across
the
city
do
an
incredible
job,
but
how
it
links
to
some
of
the
elements
in
the
child.
Poverty
report
I
think
when
we
look
at
the
additional
things
that
teachers
and
School
staff
are
having
to
undertake.
Teachers
are
having
to
act
as
social
workers.
L
A
I
think
it's
worth
saying
as
well
as
well
as
school
funding,
obviously
at
the
adult
education
budget
for
people
looking
for
skills
training
later
in
life.
Again
that's
running
about
50
of
the
value
it
was
a
few
years
ago
per
learner,
so
the
cuts
are
hitting
right
across
the
education
system.
A
K
K
While
this
is
a
budget
pressure,
it
is
absolutely
necessary
that
we
pay
this
Foster
carers
alongside
families
across
the
country
are
struggling
under
the
weight
of
the
cost
of
living
crisis.
We've
not
reviewed
Foster
Carefree
since
2014,
and
we
must
remain
competitive.
We've
always
been
either
the
highest
payer
or
the
second
highest
payer
in
the
region
for
foster
carers,
and
this
is
how
we've
recruited
and
retained
Foster
carers,
and
we
Benchmark
well
against
other
authorities
in
the
amount
we
spend
on
Independent,
fostering
agencies
and
external
residential
placements
in
the
private
sector.
K
If
we
are
not
a
high
payer
in
the
region,
we
risk
losing
Foster
carers
to
neighboring
authorities,
especially
if
they're
on
the
borders
69
of
children
in
Leeds
are
looked
after
in
Leeds
by
by
our
foster
carers
compared
to
48
nationally.
But
we
want
that
figure
to
be
even
higher.
K
You
will
all
be
familiar
with
the
debate
that
is
Raging
in
the
children's
social
care
sector
at
the
moment.
With
regard
to
the
absolutely
obscene
profits,
some
private
sector
providers
are
making.
It
is
a
disgrace
that
there
is
a
market
in
our
most
vulnerable
children,
and
this
is
placing
such
a
strain
on
local
Authority
budgets.
K
The
most
important
reason
for
needing
to
keep
our
loyal
skilled,
experienced
Foster
carers
is
that
foster
care
provides
the
best
outcomes
for
children.
However,
it
is
also
the
most
economically
advantageous
way
of
caring
for
our
looked
after
children.
Whilst
this
paper
represents
a
budget
pressure,
the
risk
of
not
adequately
paying
on
Foster
carers
is
that
they
leave
us
to
work
in
ifas
or
other
authorities,
or
they
leave
foster
care
altogether,
that
that's
probably
the
biggest
risk,
and
it's
outlined
in
the
survey
that
you
saw
that
nationally,
around
50
of
foster
careers
are
thinking
of
leaving.
K
It's
also
not
an
exaggeration
to
say
that
the
two
million
that
this
will
cost
is
what
you
can
pay
for
a
few
placements.
You
know,
figures
of
quarter
of
a
million
to
a
million
per
child
per
year
are
being
quoted
to
authorities
across
the
country.
K
It's
really
really
important
that
I
looked
after
children
do
not
miss
out
on
events
like
prom
and
that
Foster
farmers
are
able
to
provide
foster
children
with
the
same
experience
that
their
birth
children
may
be
having
and
that
we
would
want
for
all
our
children
again.
This
part
of
the
policy
hasn't
been
updated
since
2014,
so
this
is
an
update
which
aims
to
provide
equity
and
consistency.
K
So
up
to
this
point,
if
you
take
a
third
fourth,
fifth,
child
people
were
getting
50
of
the
fee
that
you'd
get
for
a
first
and
second
child,
and
that
means
that
Foster
carers
were
financially
disincentivized
and
disadvantaged
if
they
chose
to
take
three
four
or
five
children,
and
we
really
want
people
to
take
multiple
children,
partly
because
we
have
desperate
need
for
placements,
but
also
because,
really
importantly,
it's
a
way
of
keeping
sibling
groups
together.
K
Obviously,
we
need
to
look
at
other
budget
savings,
because
this
is
a
budget
pressure
not
budgeted
for,
although
it
is
in
the
11
million
that
was
referenced
in
councilor
Cooper's
paper
earlier,
and
also
that
paper
outlined
the
you
know
the
the
work
that
we're
doing
at
PACE
to
recoup
some
of
those.
You
know
that
in-ear
overspent,
okay,
thank
you,
chair.
A
D
Yeah
thanks
Jack
I,
think,
given
that
there
hasn't
this
hasn't
been
reviewed
properly
for
so
long
now
by
the
council.
I
can
entirely
understand
why
Foster
carers
I've
been
asking
for
it's
to
be
reviewed
and
I
know
in
those
negotiations.
There
was
some
requests
actually
for
more
quarterly
reviews
on
the
pricing
around
the
the
year
and
I
do
think,
although
it
might
make
the
headline
budgeting
more
difficult
for
us.
D
There's,
probably
something
in
that
in
that
we
don't
know
at
present
what
prices
are
going
to
be
in
a
year's
time
or
indeed,
three
months
time,
but
equally
that
means
they
could
go
up
and
they
could
come
down
and
if
you
look
at
wholesale
International
Energy
prices,
for
example,
and
the
energy
price
guarantee
and
all
those
factors
within
it,
there's
so
much
volatility
within
the
impact
on
household
finances
that
the
idea
of
of
reviews
is
probably
one
worth
looking
at
and
on.
D
The
aspect
of
of
removing
the
deduction
for
a
third
foster
child
I
think
it's
to
put
it
into
context.
D
It's
probably
worth
noticing
that,
if
you've
got
if
you're
a
foster
a
family
with
two
children
between
11
and
15
and
you're,
a
tier
four
Foster
carer,
then
at
present,
if
you
take
a
third
child,
the
total
fees
you
receives
the
household
is,
is
59
000
pounds
of
which
twenty
twenty
thousand
is
that
that
is
tax
exempt
the
the
difference
you're
you're
making
here
removing
the
reduction
for
third
chart,
increases
that
to
seventy
thousand
pounds,
and
so
I
think
the
opposition
group
would
would
suggest
that
actually
a
policy,
that's
more
consistent,
for
example,
with
child
benefit
in
those
deduction
which
are
less
than
50.
D
It's
about
a
33
reduction
would
probably
want
given
the
financial
constraints
of
this,
that
we
would
probably
suggest
that
you
looked
at
before.
Jumping
to
to
this
proposal.
K
I'm
a
bit
of
speech,
to
be
honest
by
by
those
last
comments,
I
mean
it
is
a
it's
a
really
important
principle
that
people
are
not
disadvantaged
or
disincentivized
if
they
choose
to
take
more
than
two
children,
although
obviously
our
response
is
completely
consistent
with
the
fact
that
your
government
remove
child
benefit
for
if
people
have
to
have
more
than
two
birth
children.
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
as
well
that
the
complexity
of
children
continues
to
increase
and
most
Foster
carers
do
not
have
another
job.
K
Their
life
is
foster
care
and
they
are
caring
for
some
of
the
most
vulnerable
children
in
this
city,
who
are
survivors
of
early
life,
trauma,
abuse
or
neglect,
which
is
why
children
get
brought
into
care
and
that
we
really
need
to
respect
Foster
cameras
as
the
experienced
skilled,
knowledgeable
professionals
that
they
are,
and
we
need
to
pay
them
a
fee
that
recognizes
that
and
meets
the
cost
of
the
fantastic
job
that
they
do
24
hours
a
day
and
having
children.
You
know
in
their
lives
as
part
of
their
family.
K
Lee
to
suggest
we've
jumped
to
this
as
well
is
really
insulting.
This
paper
is
the
result
of
months
of
work
by
officers
By,
the
Fantastic
Foster
Care
Community
violates
foster
care,
Association,
we've
benchmarked
against
other
authorities
and
against
ifas,
and
we
feel
that
what
we're
presenting
to
you
is
what
we
need
to
pay
to
retain
our
loyal
skilled,
experienced
Foster
carers,
who
have
been
with
us
through
the
last
few
years
and
Beyond
in
many
cases
for
decades.
You
know
this
is
what
we
believe.
K
F
Thanks
chair
Council
of
Anna
earlier
talked
about
the
obscene
prophets
that
some
private
sector
care
bodies
achieve
well.
The
only
way
that
those
companies
are
able
to
achieve
them
is
if
they
have
a
captive
audience,
and
this
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
need
to
ensure
that
where
we
can,
we
have
our
own
carers
that
we
can
retain,
which
and
councilman
has
already
pointed
that
out
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
making
sure
they
have
a
decent
standard
of
living
is
necessary.
And
that's
why
I'll
be
supporting
this.
F
But
there
are
some
other
elements
as
well,
which
we
need
to
look
into
too.
So,
in
our
Financial
monitoring
report,
we
were
told
that
there
was
an
unexpected
increase
in
care
costs,
because
some
children
are
being
placed
with
carers
who
are
level
four,
whereas
I
think
the
level
of
care
that
they
needed
was
level.
F
Two
I
wasn't
sure
if
I
got
that
adequately
explained,
but
it
implied
to
me
that
we're
very
good
at
retaining
people
at
the
higher
end
of
our
foster
carer
skills
set,
but
maybe
not
so
good
at
attracting
newcomers
that
start
at
a
lower
level
where
a
lot
of
our
need
is
for
the
children
that
come
into
our
care.
So
I
hope
that
this
uplift
in
fees
will
enable
that
to
happen,
because
it's
not
mentioned
here
about
the
complexity
within
Foster
Foster
carer
cohorts.
F
It
just
talks
about
the
complexity
of
children,
so
it'd
be
good
to
get
that
kind
of
detail
potentially
and
then
hopefully,
those
obscene
profits
that
Council
Dino
is
talking
about,
will
be
less
achievable
because
people
like
her
won't
be
beholden
to
have
to
go
to
those
people,
because
we
haven't
got
enough
of
our
own
and
one
of
the
reasons
why
they
have
such
obscene
profits
is
because
they
also
provide
extra
benefits
for
the
carers
that
come
under
onto
their
books
to
try
and
ensure
that
they
retain
them.
F
So
I
I
hope
that
the
continuing
conversation
with
the
Foster
cares
Association
continues
to
ensure
that
we
are
as
competitive
with
others.
This
paper
by
the
way
does
not
let
us
know
how
competitive
we
are
with
others.
Council
lavena
talked
about
how
we're
up
there
in
the
top
quartile,
but
when
I
tried
to
compare
the
rates
that
we
were
hoping
to
give
to
our
carers
here,
with
the
rates
that
others
charge,
I
couldn't
actually
get
it
from
the
papers
that
were
given
to
us
and
there's
pages
and
pages
of
it.
F
There
I
would
have
thought
that
would
be
quite
useful
information
to
have,
in
terms
of
that
comparator,
to
see
how
we
stack
up
against
local
authorities
and
the
local
independent
sector,
because
when
she
talks
about
the
independent
sector,
not
all
of
the
independent
sector
actually
ask
for
obscene
profits,
and
we
should
be
working
perhaps
even
more
closely
with
parts
of
the
independent
sector
that
are
more
reasonable
and
less
associated
with
multinational
corporations
and
Associated
more
with,
for
instance,
the
third
sector.
J
Thank
you,
leader,
I,
wanted
to
address
the
point
made
by
councilor
Galton,
because
I
think
he
was
referring
to
the
350
000
projected
overspend
on
external
residential,
which
reflected
in
the
earlier
paper.
J
So
at
the
start
of
the
year,
when
we
make
an
assumption
about
the
total
cost
of
In-House
Foster
carers,
we
base
it
on
an
assumption
as
to
how
many
will
be
level
two,
how
many
will
be
level
three
and
how
many
will
be
level
four
and
then
factor
in
the
number
of
young
people
that
we
think
will
be
in
foster
care.
J
What's
actually
happened
during
the
course
of
the
year
is
that
more
Foster
carers
have
progressed
through
the
payment,
the
skills
model
and
are
now
at
the
higher
end
of
that.
So
there
are
in
fact,
more
three
and
four
level,
three
and
level
four
Foster
carers
that
were
included
in
the
original
budget
assumption.
J
So
it's
not
the
case
that
that
350
is
because
we've
got
children
that
would
require
a
level
two
Foster
Career
be
replaced
with
a
level
for
Foster
carer.
It's
just
because
of
the
the
mix
of
the
assumptions
when
we
do
the
budget.
At
the
start
of
the
year.
K
Yeah
Council
galton's
right
that
we
want
to
be
spending
less
money
in
the
private
sector
and
that's
why
we've
got
our
investor
safe
proposals
around
creating
level
five
Foster
carers
and
creating
more
small
children's
homes.
Both
proposals
will
bring
children
back
to
later
are
currently
in
expensive
external
residential
placements.
I
mean
I
disagree
with
councilor
golden
about
working
with
the
private
sector
at
all,
because
in
my
view,
nobody
should
be
making
a
profit
out
of
vulnerable
children.
K
Unfortunately,
the
competition
and
markets
Authority
review
of
the
market,
which
was
part
of
the
independent
review
of
social
care,
had
the
teeth
taken
out
of
it,
and
they
made
the
comment
that
the
market
needed
reforming,
whereas
I
think
most
people
working
in
this
area
think
it
should
not
be
a
market.
K
Moving
on
to
the
point
about
level
four
Foster
carers
to
build
on
what
Tim
said,
we
want
as
many
of
our
foster
carers
as
possible
to
become
level
four
carers.
Should
they
wish
to
do
so
because
to
achieve
level
four,
you
have
to
demonstrate
significant
experience,
knowledge,
skill
and
training
and
in
terms
of
how
children
are
placed
the
matching
process
is
about.
K
Obviously,
the
needs
of
the
child,
the
experience
of
the
Foster
carer,
some
Foster
careers
specialize
in
particular
areas
like
detox
babies,
teenagers,
just
children
with
disabilities,
we're
also
looking
at
the
cultural
needs
of
the
child,
the
matching
with
other
children
in
the
household.
If
a
child
has
particularly
complex
needs
and
behaviors
that
challenge,
then
obviously
they
will
need
a
specialist
experience,
Foster
carer
and,
as
I
just
referred
to
we're,
creating
a
level
five
of
foster
carers.
K
However,
the
matching
isn't
as
reductive
as
might
be
suggested
in
what
counselor
girls
and
saying
that
you
say
you
know:
you're
a
level
two
child
you're,
a
level
three
child.
K
As
I
said
earlier,
all
I
looked
after
children
are
survivors
of
trauma
and
you
know
that
their
early
needs
haven't
been
met
and
they
all
require
skilled
care
and
we've
got
a
lot
of
level
four
carers,
because
we
encourage
our
carers
to
develop
their
skills
and
knowledge
to
be
able
to
care
for
children.
Who've
been
profoundly
impacted
by
early
life
trauma.
K
So
you
know,
as
I
said
earlier,
for
many
Foster
carers
this
this
is
their
life.
They
don't
have
other
work,
they're
very
specialist.
In
what
they
do-
and
you
know
foster
care
is-
is
a
really
skilled
profession
and
we
want
our
foster
close
to
be
the
best
they
can
be,
so
we
will
always
encourage
them
to
get
to
that
level.
Four.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councilor
Bennett.
Are
there
any
old
comments
on
this
paper?
I,
don't
see
anybody
so
I'm
going
to
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
to
page
246
and
I.
Take
it
the
bodies
happy
with
this
paper.
That's
great,
we'll
move
on
to
thank
you,
councilor
Vena
and
we'll
move
on
to
counter
prize
papers
in
item
14.
Please.
L
Thank
you
leader,
so
this
is
the
UK
shared
Prosperity
fund,
which
is
intended
to
replace
the
esif,
which
is
the
European
structural
investment
fund.
It's
a
new
fund
which
replaces
it
following
Britain's
exit
from
the
European
Union,
and
so
this
paper
is
to
seek
executive
board
approval
of
the
priorities
outlined
in
delegates
authority
to
accept
funding
and
to
authorize
year
one
procurement.
L
We
have
three
key
investment
priorities
in
this,
so
people
and
skills
with
a
focus
on
core
skills
and
addressing
levels
of
adult
numeracy
and
economic
inactivity,
sport
for
business,
including
targeted
support
for
small
to
me,
medium-sized
businesses
and
thirdly,
to
look
at
local
communities
in
place
with
targeted
improvements
to
the
built
and
natural
environment.
L
Obviously
we'll
be,
we
will
be
using
the
money
we
receive
and
to
tackle
all
of
these
things,
Council
Galton
I
know
last
time
this
came
to
executive
board,
we
didn't
have
the
figures
and
you
were
interested
in
those.
So
it's
worth
updating
executive
order.
The
funding
allocation
for
West
Yorkshire
is
80
and
a
half
million.
Now,
comparing
that
to
the
last
esif
funding,
which
was
a
paper
brought
in
December
2020
and
the
funding
available
for
that
program
was
worth
304
million
across
West
Yorkshire.
L
So
even
though
it's
a
replacement
fund
for
esith,
the
government
have
decided
to
give
us
76.3
percent
less
than
the
fund.
It's
replacing.
Thank
you.
F
But
thanks
chair
I
know
that
quite
a
lot
of
the
money
is
being
retained
within
westwatch
combine
Authority,
but
aspects
of
it
are
being
given
to
us
and
in
the
paper
it
talks
about
how
the
council
spelled
out
what
its
high
level
priorities
were
for
the
money
that
it
had
available
to
it
and
I've
had
a
look
in
the
paper.
They
are
very
high
level.
F
When
do
we
get
to
know
what
the
specifics
look
like
in
terms
of
how
different
communities
can
access
the
money
in
the
different
spending
areas
and
then,
secondly,
in
paragraph
29,
it
talks
about
an
MP
engagement
group
and
I'm,
just
making
sure
that
the
administration
isn't
having
a
closer
relationship
with
MPS
than
with
the
councilors
as
well
within
the
local
Authority,
in
terms
of
shaping
how
that
money
might
be
spent
in
different
constituencies
and
then
third,
one
sorry
chair
is
in
the
original
paper.
F
It
did
talk
about
how
there
were
jobs
at
risk
if
the
shared
Prosperity
fund
was
less
than
expected,
but
there's
no
reference
to
it
here
now.
Does
that
mean
that
those
jobs
are
now
secure.
A
Thank
you.
I
can
help
with
question
two
of
three:
the
combined
Authority
organized
and
MP
engagement
group,
as
required
by
the
government
and
I
believe
the
MP
for
Huddersfield,
attended
that
meeting
I'll
ask
Council
prayer
about
the
other
questions.
Please.
L
In
terms
of
the
they're
breaking
up
the
money,
so
30
million
of
80
million
is
going
to
local
authorities,
of
which
Leeds
is
receiving
just
over
nine.
The
rest
of
the
money
will
be
delivered
specifically
by
weiker
that
came
out
in
a
combined
Authority
paper.
That's
only
just
come
out,
that's
how
the
tables
aren't
in
here
I'll
pass
over
to
Eve,
we'll
answer
the
rest.
H
Let's
counselor
Pryor
and
thanks
for
the
question,
councilor
Galton,
just
on
the
on
the:
when
will
communities
no
point
so
the
way
that
UK
SPF
is
being
administered
means
that
when
we
get
confirmation
of
the
investment
fund
being
approved
for
West
Yorkshire,
the
spend
will
have
to
take
place
in
this
financial
year
before
the
end
of
March
and
and
then
and
in
future
Financial
years
again.
H
It'll
have
to
be
done
in
in
year,
which
is
which
is
the
main
difference
for
the
European
funding,
and
that
means
that
we
in
in
this
coming
fun
in
the
financial
year
that
we're
in
we
will
be
able
to
kind
of
give
detail
around
our
approaches
as
soon
as
we
get
a
confirmation
from
government
at
the
end
of
this
month
or
beginning
of
next
around
the
detail.
But
we're
working
on
a
range
of
areas
including,
for
example,
building
on
digital
inclusion.
H
100
digital
leads
with
Community
the
communities
team
in
the
council
and
where
initiatives
are
already
rolling
where
that
money
can
easily
be
spent
within
year
and
capitalize
capitalized
on
that
meet
all
of
the
criteria
of
UK
SPF.
Our
local
Council
Council
strategy
for
leads
and
then
all
of
the
criteria
for
the
West
Yorkshire
investment
plan
and
National
strategy.
F
Just
for
clarity,
chair
I
was
just
wondering
how
that
9
million
might
divide
up
into
the
different
headings
so,
for
instance,
I'm
particularly
interested
in
the
about
place,
because
that
assumed
that
there
might
be
some
Town
Center
investment,
but
it'd
be
good
to
know.
What
proportion
is
going
to
What
proportion
of
the
different
headings.
H
H
So
it's
not
going
to
be
the
same
as
the
leveling
up
fund
bidding,
for
example,
which
will
be
there
to
support
large,
capital-based
projects,
and
since
they
announced
the
UK
SPF,
they
have
announced
the
rural
England
Prosperity
fund,
which
is
just
Capital,
which
is
targeted
predominantly
to
replace
the
it's
a
domestic
successor
for
the
leader
program
and
the
European
agricultural
fund,
and
that
is
capital,
and
that
is
focused
at
businesses,
primarily
in
rural
in
rural
settings
and
the
deadline
for
the
submission
for
that
is
the
30th
of
November
from
the
West
George
combined
Authority.
A
D
As
well,
of
course,
that
are
going
in
in
terms
of
investment
at
the
minute
across
the
region,
but
I
think
not
wanting
to
well.
2016
was
a
hell
of
a
long
time
ago,
and
but
the
thing
we
will
all
recall
is
that
for
some
people,
the
the
argument
was
always
that
they
couldn't
see
the
physical
value
in
how
their
money
was
being
spent
through
these
pops.
D
So
in
terms
of
the
like,
the
skills
work,
for
example,
which
is
incredibly
welcome,
have
we
done
any
sort
of
projection
and
calculation
on
if
we
pop
9.3
million
in
what
do
we
expected
to
get
within
five
years
in
terms
of
value-added
into
the
economy
and
and
ultimately
into
people's
pockets?.
H
Okay,
so
so,
just
just
for
the
avoidance
of
doubt,
the
way
that
the
money
is
being
split
between
the
West
Yorkshire
administration
of
the
UK
share,
Prosperity
fund
and
Leeds
administration
of
it
is
that
they
are
pooling
around
30
pooling
30
million
of
the
80
million
to
be
enlisted
by
local
authorities,
and
that
primarily,
is
to
be
focused
on
pillar
one
around
community
and
place
with
the
with
a
freedom
to
be
able
to
use
some
of
that
money
on
the
other
two
pillars.
H
But
the
majority
of
that
that
money
on
those
two
pillars
being
administered
at
the
regional
level.
So
so
in
terms
of
kind
of
you
asking
sorry,
I've
lost
my
thread
around
the
question.
You
asked
in
explaining
that
complexity.
Sorry,
counselor
the
value
Tori.
D
H
So
so,
I
think
what
what
three
means,
because
you
focused
on
skills
originally
in
the
question
you
asked
and
the
skills
component
is
predominantly
covered
through
one
of
the
other
two
pillars.
Hence
the
explanation
about
the
money
being
retained
by
the
combined
Authority.
H
Each
of
the
local
authorities
have
had
to
do
a
business
justification
through
to
the
combined
Authority
setting
out
what
we're
investing
in
and
why
and
that's
been
through
the
combined
authorities
process,
and
we
will
then
have
to
report
on
that
back
to
them
to
to
give
all
of
the
data
out
back
in
terms
of
the
positioning.
I.
Couldn't
tell
you
whether
we've
done
that
over
a
five-year
period
or
not
without
double
checking.
L
Yeah
councilor
Stevenson's
right
the
the
remit
of
the
UK
SPF.
It
doesn't
marry
up
exactly
with
what
esif
used
to
covered.
In
fact,
SBF
covers
a
wider
range
of
things.
So
not
only
is
the
government
reduced
the
money
by
76,
the
remaining
23.7
we've
got
left
actually
is
there
to
cover
even
more
than
esif
did
previously.
A
L
Thank
you.
So
this
is
the
destination
marketing
and
international
relations
plan.
This
report
seeks
approval
of
the
plan
up
until
2025..
It
sets
out
our
objectives
to
build
leaders
profile
as
a
global
City
to
promote
the
city
internationally
as
an
area
of
best
practice
around
where
our
strengths
lie
and
also
to
identify
and
develop
key
sectors
in
the
market,
so
I'll
leave
it
there
in
terms
of
introductory
comments
and
welcome
any
questions.
Thank.
D
Chair
in
in
reference
to
the
conferencing
facilities
as
a
destination,
I
think
anyone
who
has
had
the
this
pleasure
of
being
sent
on
three-day
work
conferences
across
the
UK
or
no
that
actually
what
attracts
businesses
and
events
in
is
the
Collective
of
obviously
a
large
Arena
conferencing
facilities
and
high-end
hotels
as
well.
D
C
Well,
I'll
just
say:
I
think,
there's
a
comment
well
made.
Council,
Lewis
and
I
mean
members
will
know
that
in
a
general
sense,
we've
done
good
work
in
terms
of
strengthening
the
hotel
coverage
in
the
city,
most
recently
with
the
sale
of
the
final
plot
on
Sovereign
Square
for
a
Hyatt
brand,
which
is
a
very
good
quality.
International
business
class
hotel.
But
there's
more
to
do
and
I
would
recognize
the
common
that
councilor
Stevenson
raises.
F
I
was
going
to
ask
the
question:
given
the
demise
of
Welcome
to
Yorkshire
and
the
Resonance
of
the
Yorkshire
brand
do.
Are
we
going
to
do
any
marketing
on
a
Yorkshire
level
which
would
imply
that
we
work
with
other
local
authorities
or
as
a
leads
destination
marketing
operation?
Will
we
be
ourselves
taking
ownership
of
the
term
Yorkshire
as
in
our
marketing,
because
I
think
that
would
be
a
good
idea?
H
So,
since
welcome
to
Yorkshire
went
into
Administration,
the
Chief
Executives
of
Yorkshire
have
been
undertaking
a
review
of
what
we
want
to
do
next.
But
the
outcome
of
that
review
is
not
yet
in
the
public
domain.
H
But
yes,
Yorkshire
is
recognized
as
a
really
powerful
brand
and
in
the
meantime,
while
we
determine
what
the
best
way
forward
is
on
a
regional
Regional
level,
the
visit
leads
Team
Works,
really
proactively,
with
Partners
right
across
the
region.
So
we
work
really
proactively
with
visit
your
and
make
it
York
who
we've
worked
with
for
a
long
time
and
but
also
with
Partners
in
West
Yorkshire
in
Bradford,
for
example,
have
set
up
recently
their
own
destination
marketing
function,
and
we
work
like
really
closely
to
to
ensure
that
we're
aligned
together.
B
Yeah
just
to
reinforce
that
I
think
you
know
the
the
I
think
the
leads
and
Yorkshire
brands
are
very
complementary
and
part
of
our
Advantage
I.
Think
as
a
city,
that's
slightly
different
to
other
cities
that
sit
within
car
cities
that
sit
within
major
conservations
is
that
we
are
surrounded
actually
within
our
own
boundary.
As
we've
said
with
this
beautiful
countryside-
and
you
know
great
on
on
you
know
two
national
parks
on
our
doorstep,
so
I
think
we
will
continue
to
do
that.
I.
B
Think
the
that
the
consideration
of
the
welcome
to
your
what
happens
after
welcome
to
Yorkshire
as
Eve
says,
is,
is
an
active
discussion
at
the
moment,
and
it's
in
the
context
of
you
know
a
situation
where
we
need
to
be
working
not
just
with
councils
in
the
public
sector,
but
the
private
sector
as
well
and
come
up
with
something
that
will
allow
us
to
collaborate
moving
forward
and
yeah.
B
That's
due
to
go
to
the
Yorkshire
leaders
board
in
the
next
couple
of
months
and
we'll
know
more
after
that,
but
I
think
there's
definitely
a
desire
by
everybody
to
continue
collaborating.
The
question
is:
how
do
we
do
that
within
the
Ross
resources
available
and
new
government
policy
after
the
Dubai
review,
and
and
that's
what
I'll
be
decided
to
thank.
A
M
And
the
reason
it's
coming
from
my
directorate
is
a
very
strong
emphasis
on
carbon
reduction
of
our
food
that
we
consume
and
that
we
produce
in
leaves
that
we
sell
in
leads
and-
and
this
is
a
strategy
for
the
whole
city-
not
just
the
council
and
developed
with
Partners
from
across
the
food
system
in
Leeds,
and
it
includes
and
I
want
to
thank
those
Partners
ranging
from
the
University
of
Leeds
to
local
producers
such
as
meanwood
Valley
Farm
and
to
the
third
sector,
principally
food
food
name,
that
food
share
and
and
their
work
in
reducing
food
waste
and
developing
this
strategy
with
us,
and
also
like
to
be
able
to
think
big.
M
Thank
you
to
the
children
in
our
schools,
who
were
very
early
to
work
on
the
food
that
they
consume,
and
especially
the
carbon
footprint
and
and
reducing
that.
So
thank
you
to
all
the
teachers
and
kitchen
staff
and
children
that
worked
on
worked
on
this
strategy
as
well.
I'll
leave
it
there.
Thank
you,
chair.
F
Thanks
chair,
fair
and
interest
vice
president
of
the
Leeds
allotment
Federation,
so
local
food
growing
is
something
we
think
is
very
important.
But,
however,
we
do
appreciate
that
what
allotment
is
deliver
doesn't
make
a
huge
amount
of
difference
in
terms
of
locally
grown
produce
in
terms
of
the
percentage,
which
is
why
I
was
interested
in
the
report
chair
that
it
says
that
49
of
the
calories
we
consume
in
the
city
are
from
within
the
city
and
I
thought.
F
Actually
that
sounds
like
quite
a
lot,
considering
that
we're
quite
a
big
urban
area,
and
you
would
have
thought
that
most
people
eat
a
lot
of
bread
and
therefore
are
we
really
producing
that
much
wheat,
so
I
think
it
would
be
really
useful
to
get
behind
some
of
the
statistics,
because
what
it
says?
How
do
we
know
that
we're
being
successful
that
says?
F
Well,
there
will
be
some
slas
that
people
can
work
to,
but
it
doesn't
say
what
they
are
gonna
be
and
in
the
future,
our
food
security
means
having
a
proper
strategic
look
at
how
our
Countryside
is
working
alongside
the
urban
parts
of
our
city
district,
and
we
look
at
how
that
looks
like
in
terms
of
product
productivity
for
food
and
potentially
areas
of
conflict
when
it
comes
to
productivity
of
sustainable
energy,
and
hopefully
we
can
get
the
people
of
Leeds
excited
about
local
food
production,
not
just
thinking
about
it,
as
you
know,
allotments
and
the
odd
apple
tree,
but
actually
about
Market
gardening
and
employment
opportunities
for
people
in
Leeds
themselves.
K
Yeah,
so
just
to
explain
the
statistics,
so
the
University
of
Leeds
did
a
study
and
looked
at
everything
that
was
consumed
in
the
city
in
terms
of
calories
and
everything
that
was
produced
in
terms
of
calories.
It's
not
to
say
that
49
of
those
calories
are
consumed.
It's
just
where
the
actual
calorie
figure
matches.
I
haven't
explained
that
very
well.
So
it's
what
it's
generally.
What
we
produce
equates
to
a
figure
and
how
much
we
consume,
but
it
those
calories,
aren't
necessarily
consumed
within
within
the
city.
G
K
Because,
ultimately,
it's
still,
you
know,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we're
never
going
to
be
able
to
produce
things
like
oranges
within
Yorkshire.
So,
ultimately,
we
still
have
a
responsibility
to
produce
the
amount
of
calories
that
we
need
as
a
city
or
a
proportion
towards
that.
And
so
that's
what
we're
monitoring
I
think
there's
a
conversation
about.
You
know
the
variety
of
products
that
we
produce
and
that's
where
we're
starting
to
get
more
into
conversations
with
people
at
National,
Farmers,
Union
and
listening
to
what
what
they're
asking
for
but
I,
think
you've
got.
K
You've
got
to
start
with
the
data
that
you've
got
available,
and
that
is
one
of
the
challenges
at
the
moment
with
the
food
system.
Actually,
we
do
have
limited
data,
and
so
that
is
something
we've
got
available
in
its
starting
point.
M
Also,
you
know
our
food
producers
do
sell
to
other
people
than
people
in
Leeds.
You
know
they
do
sell
nationally
and
internationally
so,
and
we
don't
want
to
stop
them
doing
that,
but
we
are
committed
to
buying
as
locally
as
possible
as
a
council
so
that
we
are
supporting
local
producers,
but,
as
Polly
says,
we
there's
there's
absolutely
no
way.
We
can
reduce
all
the
food
that
we
need
or
we
consume
at
the
moment,
and
we
don't
want
them
to
stop
them
selling
elsewhere
as
well.
A
Thank
you.
There
are
more
comments
on
this
paper.
I
will
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
367
and
368
and
I
take
it.
The
board
is
happy
with
those
it's
great
thanks.
So
we're
now
on
to
the
communities,
portfolio
and
I'm,
going
to
ask
Council
prayer
to
introduce
item
17
the
cost
of
living
update
report.
Please.
L
Thank
you,
so
this
is
under
councilor
Holland's
portfolio
and
on
the
cost
of
living.
This
paper
updates
executive
board
on
developments
and
addressing
the
cost
of
living
crisis.
Since
the
previous
report
on
this
subject
was
presented
at
July's
meeting.
Obviously,
since
July
the
situation
on
the
cost
of
living
has
deteriorated
even
further
from
its
already
quite
difficult
to
position,
and
that
goes
from
the
rising
cost
of
gas
and
electricity
to
the
former
Chancellor's
mini
budget,
causing
a
collapse
in
the
pound
rocketing
mortgage
payments
and
as
well
as
rising
inflation.
L
So
this
report
details
services
such
as
the
local
welfare
support
scheme,
who
are
already
at
winter
demand
levels
and
those
are
likely
to
increase
further.
The
paper
also
details
actions.
We
are
taking
as
a
council
to
mitigate
against
some
of
the
worst
successes
of
this
crisis,
so
this
includes
launching
a
network
of
warm
spaces,
the
increasing
number
of
people
facing
Fuel
and
energy
poverty
and
I
believe
that
went
online
yesterday.
L
So
at
the
moment,
22
of
the
Leeds
population
is
living
in
relative
poverty
and
that's
24
of
children
living
in
the
city
which
councilor
Vena
detailed
in
in
her
report.
On
on
specifically
child
poverty,
the
number
of
Universal
Credit
claimants
has
more
than
doubled,
since
February,
2020
and
I
know
that
the
government
is
seeking
to
to
withdraw
some
of
this
support
for
our
local
welfare
support
scheme,
and
this
supports
residents
experiencing
financial
hardship
in
an
emergency
or
crisis.
This
is
under
huge
pressure.
L
L
L
F
I
think
there's
been
a
lot
of
comment
already.
All
that
I
will
say
is
that
what
other
difficulties
we've
got
as
a
council?
We
definitely
are
all
in
this
together
in
terms
of
there's
a
big
wider
issue
out
there
in
the
city
and
I
think
as
councils.
We
should
recognize
that
our
Council
employees
are
in
a
particularly
significant
Place
to
try
and
make
a
difference
and
that
that
work
is
appreciated.
D
Yeah
thanks,
there's
no
point
latibility
on
on
the
seriousness
of
the
situation
that
we're
in
globally
and
nationally
and
here
in
Leeds,
with
the
with
the
economy
and
I.
Think
actually,
one
of
the
things
that
we
really
need
to
be
clear
and
honest
with
our
citizens
about
is
the
the
causes
and
the
expectations
as
well.
And
of
course
it
is
Global
inflation
as
a
result
of
what's
going
on
in
Ukraine
in
terms
of
the
energy
Supply
and
and
also
the
impact
of
the
U.S
fed.
Increasing
interest
rates.
D
D
All
these
external
pressures
are
important,
because
I
think
we
can't
fix
everything
here
in
Leeds,
as
we've
already
said
on
our
own
and
we're
going
to
need
some
support
from
national
government,
some
more
support
and
also
working
globally
and
I.
Think,
on
the
on
the
points
of
the
paragraph
for
10
I,
think
it's
very
important
that
we
may
send
a
very
clear
message
to
a
residents
in
the
city
that
their
the
energy
price
guarantee
is
in
place
this
winter.
D
We
don't
want
to
give
any
confusion
to
Residents
that
that
is
the
case
and
I.
Think
as
we
do
that
we
ought
to
remind
all
of
ourselves
that
it
was
only
a
few
weeks
ago
that
TV
pundits
were
warning
households
that
they
were
expecting.
D
Energy
price
rises
above
6
000
pounds
which
was
clearly
not
sustainable,
and
so
the
energy
price
guarantee
is
very
welcome
this
winter,
ensuring
that
it
gives
support
to
to
households
alongside
all
of
the
the
grants
that
have
been
appeared
out
as
well,
to
of
varying
amounts
to
to
households.
D
So
I
don't
want
to
cause
any
com.
Confusion
from
today
in
terms
of
what's
been
offered,
the
price
guarantee
is
in
place
this
winter
and
households
in
the
city
will
benefit
from
that
and,
of
course,
it's
costly.
It's
the
largest
proportion
of
the
financial
package
and
I
think
a
lesson
politically
for
us
all.
D
In
the
the
times,
we're
in
at
present
is
that
you
know
the
decisions
that
are
taken
in
terms
of
finances
do
have
an
impact
on
the
the
market
and
one
of
the
the
problems
for
politicians
of
the
future,
whoever
they
may
be
or,
however,
quick
those
leaders.
D
The
leadership
change
will
be
is
that
where
we
are,
in
a
sense
all
in
the
same
boat,
in
what
councilor
golton
describes,
because
any
any
future
government's
going
to
find
itself
in
a
very
the
same
situation
in
terms
of
its
ability
to
borrow
and
the
reaction
from
that.
So
welcoming
the
items
in
the
reporter
chair
and
especially
the
items
like
the
price
guarantee,
that's
giving
support
to
people
directly
this
winter.
L
Thank
you,
chair,
I,
think
some
of
councilor
Stevenson's
first
points
I'm,
not
really
interested
in
getting
in
into
a
debate
of
of
why
this
isn't
the
government's
fault,
but
on
the
energy
price
guarantee
I.
Think
it's
worth
noting
that
even
with
where
the
guarantee
is
that
still
fixes
price
at
Double,
what
they
were
last
year
and
I,
don't
think
residents
are
confused
about
how
much
they
are
paying
for
that.
L
E
Yes,
thank
you
leader
for
allowing
me
to
come
in
on
this
item
and
and
I.
Don't
think
that
the
citizens
of
Leeds
need
any
clarification
or
to
learn
any
lessons
from
Council
Stevens
and
today,
given
some
of
his
comments
earlier
in
executive
Bard
around
how
we
fund
children,
who
are
looked
after
in
this
city
through
Foster
carers,
I
think
your
idea
that
the
price
guarantee
is
in
place
for
winter,
maybe
a
little
delusional
because
we
don't
know
what's
going
to
happen
tomorrow.
E
Do
we
we
and,
as
we
already
heard,
the
price
guarantee
was
in
place
for
two
years,
all
of
a
sudden,
it's
not
in
place
for
two
years.
It's
in
place
for
six
months.
Can
we
believe
that
who
knows?
Let's
wait
and
see
what
happens
tomorrow?
Shall
we
I
think
another
thing
that
used
it
we're
all
in
the
same
bar?
Well,
I
beg
to
differ
with
you
on
that
one
councilor
Stevenson,
because
I
know
that
many
of
my
residents
are
certainly
not
in
the
same
boat
as
many
of
the
conservative
party.
E
Mps
are
indeed
some
of
the
conservative
party
councilors
in
this
place.
I,
don't
know
whether
you've
seen
any
news
recently
or
whether
you
have
averted
your
eyes,
given
the
the
failings
of
your
own
government
right
before
our
eyes.
It's
like
watching
a
car
crash
that
don't
stop,
but
my
residents
are
in
fear
of
how
they
are
going
to
pay
one
for
food
on
the
table
right
now
today
today,
can
they
feed
their
children
coming
home
from
school
two?
E
Will
they
be
able
to
afford
their
energy
costs
so
to
hate
their
homes
for
them
their
families
and
their
children
and
and
three
how
they
are
going
to
continue
to
work
numerous
jobs,
numerous
jobs
more
than
one
trying
to
keep
a
roof
over
their
head,
given
they
rise
in
mortgage
interest
rates
that
we've
seen
and
the
inflationary
costs
on
everything
else.
I'd
like
to
ask
you
this
councilor
Stevenson.
Have
you
any
idea
what
the
cost
of
a
loaf
of
bread
is
at
the
moment
the
average
cost.
E
D
Thank
you,
typical
response,
counselor
Cooper,
I
think.
The
point
that
was
being
made
earlier
was
that
resident
of
the
city
right
now
want
to
know
what
help
is
being
delivered
for
them
from
the
government
and
from
this
Council
right
now
to
help
with
many
of
the
situations
that
you've
just
described,
which
are
a
result
not
of
anything.
That's
happened
here
in
Leeds.
D
Anything
that's
happened
nationally,
but
because
President
Putin
has
gone
on
aborrunt
war
in
Ukraine,
which
is
causing
the
well
well,
it
is
I'm
afraid,
and
if
you
look
globally,
it
is
that
you
know
the
point.
I
was
going
to
make
sure
in
terms
of
how
we
react
as
a
city
is.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we
aren't
confusing
messages
and
that's
the
point
I
was
making
earlier
about
the
the
price
guarantee
that's
in
place
for
people
and
I.
D
Think
we
need
to
make
sure
that
all
of
our
comms
this
this
winter
work
in
line
with
all
the
different
government
agencies
across
the
city
to
ensure
that
people
know
how
to
access.
For
example,
some
of
the
support
being
offered
by
a
central
government
to
assist
and
to
ensure
that
people
are
on
the
right
systems
and
that's
the
original
point,
I
made
and
I
think
it's
a
point
that
taking
the
politics
out
of
the
situation
we
could
all
we
could
all
align
to
and
on
the
politics
there's.
D
The
labor
party
has
had
exactly
the
same
agreement
and
approach
to
everything
that
was
in
the
budget
measures.
There
was
nothing
different.
There
was
nothing
different
in
that.
The
priority
now
is
to
make
sure
that
citizens
in
in
the
city
know
what
support
is
being
offered
to
them
and
I
would
hope
that
everybody
across
this
council
could
work
together
to
serve
our
constituents
in
that
respect.
L
I
think
we
will
be
doing
our
own
comms
as
a
council.
We
will
not
be
aligning
our
Cons
with
the
governments,
given
the
government's
comms
seem
to
change
on
frankly,
an
hourly
basis,
and
as
this
this
meeting
started
two
hours
ago,
I
actually
don't
even
know
what
the
government
position
on
a
lot
of
this
is
right.
Now
we
can,
we
can
check
once
the
meeting's
finished.
I
Yeah
I
mean
I,
don't
know
where
to
start
with
this,
because
you
know
there
are
some
Global
factors
and
issues,
but
you
know,
if
you
look,
if
you
compare
the
UK
economy
with
Europe,
for
instance.
Well,
we
are,
our
economies
is
actually
going
to
decline
and
that's
not
to
nothing
to
do
with
Ukraine.
This
is
about
management
of
iconomy,
and
that
is
actually
we've
well.
The
government
have
actually
is
to
blame,
has
messed
it
up
talking
about
help?
Well,
we
need
the
help.
Now
we
actually
into
winter.
Now
we
need
that
help
from
government.
I
If
you,
if
you
go
to
some
of
the
communities,
I
represent
and
councilor
Arif
and-
and
you
know,
Council
up
higher
and
and
many
others
here,
you'll
find
that
I
mean
about
12
years
of
austerity
and
it's
been
difficult
but
believe
me,
you've,
people
are,
you
know
when
it
comes
to
finances.
People
are
hunt
them
out
this
energy
issue
and
inflation
I've
actually
brought
people
to
their
knees,
and
we
need
to
fix
that.
We
need
to
fix
that.
F
Thanks
chair,
I
I
did
try
and
be
non-political
I'm
a
bit
more
cohesive
in
terms
of
the
message
earlier,
but
I
just
want
to
emphasize
the
term
We're
All
in
This
Together,
of
course,
was
made
worse
historically
by
the
fact
that,
obviously,
some
people
are
better
off
than
others
and
therefore
better
able
to
face
challenges
when
they
happen,
especially
Financial
ones
affecting
their
family.
F
F
They
want
to
make
sure
that
their
neighbors
and
their
friends
who
might
find
themselves
in
a
worsening
position
that
they're
able
to
give
some
kind
of
practical
help
and
I
know
that
we've
got
in
this
paper
talk
about
having
warm
Banks
and
whatever,
and
that's
where
our
community
hubs
are
associated,
that
we
can
do
so.
F
I
just
want
to
ensure
that
there's
also
behind
that
an
understanding
within
the
department
that
it
should
respond
positively,
where
possible,
to
community
initiatives
which
might
not
be
on
their
own
agenda
in
terms
of
how
the
council
corporately
wants
to
respond
for
the
needs
of
citizens.
F
But
it
should
be
receptive
to
how
communities
themselves
can
come
forward
with
ideas
that
can
make
a
really
big
difference,
because
from
what
I've
seen
the
evidence
in
my
own
patch,
for
instance,
it's
about
people
working
together
without
really
the
council
to
to
set
up
a
a
platform
for
them
to
do
it.
F
It
just
needs
to
be
amenable
to
helping
them
to
get
on
with
what
they
do
and
I
I
would
hope
that
coming
out
of
this
paper,
with
the
greater
understanding
of
the
need
that
that
there
is
there
that
we
can
all
Step
Up
and
ensure
that
every
Community
is
able
to
deal
with
and
help
themselves
going
forward,
because
to
get
a
little
bit
political
they're
not
getting
much
help
from
the
top
at
the
moment.
F
In
terms
of
the
dysfunction
and
that's
why
I'm
hoping
we
can
bring
this
discussion
to
a
a
draw
there.
A
Thank
you,
I
think
myself
and
councilor
Harland
have
been
having
exactly
that
in
the
world
we
represent,
which
is
one
of
33
in
the
city,
we've
been
having
exactly
those
discussions
about
how
people
can
support
each
other
during
the
circumstances.
We're
in
and
I
do
think
that
is
a
positive
point
to
make
and
I'm
sure
in
the
other
32
worlds
in
the
cities.
A
Those
discussions
are
happening.
Councilor
Cooper,
please.
E
Well,
I
do
thank
councilor
Galton
for
his
positive
comments
around
that,
and,
actually
is
you
know,
suggestions
around
communities
helping
each
other,
which
is,
of
course,
what
they're
having
to
do
out
of
need.
E
E
Soup
and
bread
free
to
anybody
who
needs
to
and
to
get
warm
and
to
have
some
soup
and
some
bread
in
my
community
I
know
that
at
times
certain
times
of
the
year,
yeah
some
of
you
and
your
colleagues
are
often
into
my
temple,
news
and
Ward.
You
know
so
I'd
invite
you
to
see
the
other
side
of
it
and
just
to
say
exactly
how
that
local
community
comes
together
to
help
each
other,
as
counselor
Galton
suggested.
E
There
I
think
on
your
other
point
about
councilor
Stevenson
about
out
this,
all
being
the
fault
of
outside
things
happening.
There
is
an
element
of
of
of
what's
happening
globally.
That's
impacted
us
in
nationally,
through
financial
reasons
and
and
others
as
well
and
and
and
you're
quite
right
to
say
about
Ukrainian,
the
energy
and
and
everything
else,
but
they
can't.
E
You
cannot
hide
away
from
the
fact
that
the
government,
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
made
policy
that
the
markets
and
the
economy
didn't
like
the
bank
of
it
crashed
the
economy
and
the
bank
of
England
had
to
come
in
and
save
the
government's
day.
The
bacon
of
the
day
I've
got
to
say,
and
they
did
that
for
a
limited
time.
E
They
did
it
for
a
limited
time
until
the
government
could
get
its
act
together
and
you
turn
on
those
economic
policies
and
put
in
place
an
idea
of
going
forward
with
you
turning
on
all
of
those
policies.
So
please
don't
hide
away
from
the
facts
that
are
before
us.
A
Thank
you.
Are
there
any
more
comments
on
this
paper?
Okay,
I'll
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
417
and
as
Council
Pryor
said
when
he
introduced
the
paper.
Obviously,
some
of
the
government
schemes
that
are
set
out
in
the
paper
have
been
withdrawn
since
the
paper
was
published,
so
we're
noting
that
is
about
Happy,
with
the
recommendations.
A
Great.
Thank
you,
I'm,
going
to
move
on
to
item
18,
which
is
the
annual
update
on
migration
activity
in
Leeds
and
I'll.
Ask
Paul
money
to
introduce
this
paper.
Please.
C
Thanks
thanks
chair
yeah,
Paul
money,
chief
officer
in
the
surfer,
stronger
communities
team
at
Leeds
city
council,
presenting
this
paper
on
behalf
of
of
councilor
councilor
Harland.
C
This
report
to
Executive
Board
is
actually
the
sixth
annual
update
report
on
migration
in
Leeds
and
previously
all
the
annual
update
reports
to
Executive
Board
over
over
those
recent
years,
I've
tended
to
highlight
emerging
issues
globally
and
the
impacts
that
we
are
experiencing
at
a
local
level,
and
this
year's
report
continues
that
Trend
and
provides
an
overview
of
several
pertinent
issues,
including
the
migration
related
consequences
from
the
inversion
of
Ukraine
by
Russia,
whereby
local
authorities
across
the
country
are
working
to
deliver
the
homes
for
Ukraine
scheme
and
indeed
working
with
a
large
number
of
sponsors
across
the
city
in
Leeds
who
have
kindly
offered
their
homes
to
Ukrainian
refugees
under
this
particular
scheme.
C
This
is
quite
a
dynamic
situation
in
Leeds
we
have
around
and
about
400
such
sponsors,
offering
that
hospitality
and
we
have
around
about
780
individuals
from
Ukraine
who
have
intimated
an
intention
to
come
to

act
2022,
where
various
elements
of
that
legislation
are
coming
to
into
force
in
recent
months,
and
we
continue
to
work
in
Partnership
nationally,
regionally
with
our
colleagues
in

Yorkshire
and
locally
to
better
understand
the
implications

The

highlights
the

that
we're
taking

Thank
you.
A
Okay,
well,
thank
you,
Paul
for
bringing
the
report
to
us.
I
will
and
your
comments
on
it.
I
will
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
439
and
I.
Take
it.
The
board
is
happy
with
those
recommendations.
That's
great!
Thank
you
and
we'll
move
on
to
item
19,
the
anti-muslim
Prejudice
paper
on
the
last
Council
Cooper
to
introduce
this
one.
Please
thank.
E
You
chair
and
I've,
been
introducing
this
on
behalf
of
councilor
Hall
and
who
can't
be
with
us
today
and
I
know
she's
done
an
awful
a
lot
of
work
on
this
agenda,
both
with
myself
and
the
the
teams
in
communities
and
Community
safety
around
this
work.
E
You'll
see
for
yourselves
the
detail
in
the
report
around
asking
for
a
definition
of
anti-muslim
prejudice
and
and
the
reasons
why
we're
taking
a
really
local
approach
here
here
in
Leeds,
and
we
did
something
very
similar
when
we
looked
at
the
I
HRA
definition
for
anti-Semitism
and
we
consulted
with
the
Jewish
community
and
others
around
what
they
would
like
to
see
in
terms
of
that
definition
and
therefore,
any
action
plans
and
work
that
took
place
after
after
the
definition
and
we've
done
the
same
here
with
the
work
around
anti-muslim,
Prejudice
or
Moss,
sometimes
not
also
known
as
islamophobia
in
the
city.
E
We
have
consulted
really
widely
on
this
this
matter
and
that
had
some
great
responses.
I've
got
to
say
from
one
of
the
from
the
survey
that
we
sent
out.
It
was
during
the
time
of
lockdown
down
and
and
where
many
services
and
people
were
focusing
on
how
to
to
deal
with
the
issues
of
the
lockdown
and
the
pandemic
and
other
crises
as
well.
E
So
we
had
a
great
response
on
the
surveys
around
that
and-
and
it
was
really
clear
from
some
of
the
surveys
that
came
back-
that
there's
much
work-
that
we
need
to
do
to
tackle
the
issue
of
anti-muslim
prejudice
and
the
way
some
of
our
citizens
and
residents
fail
and
are
experience
in
life
because
of
it.
So
this
paper
really
sets
out
in
front
of
us
how
we
would
approach
that
and
to
be
able
to
do
that
on
paragraph
15
of
the
main
report
is
the
definition
itself.
E
I'd
really
suggests
that
except
Von
members
take
a
look
at
that
definition.
As
I've
said,
we've
worked
really
widely
with
the
Council
of
mosques
with
the
young
Muslim
Foundation,
with
our
other
counterparts
in
Bradford
as
well
on
this
issue
and
and
and
have
ended
up
with
the
suggestion.
That's
in
front
of
you
today
and
I'd
really
recommend
executive
board
approve
it.
H
Thank
you
chair
and,
whilst
parts
of
this
paper
it
there
is
a
it's
sobering
to
read,
but
it's
not
entirely
surprising.
As
somebody
who
comes
from
the
Muslim
faith,
I
welcome
the
paper.
I
know
a
lot
of
people.
A
lot
of
Muslims
in
the
city
will
also
welcome
the
people
and
I
want
to
thank
councilor,
Harland
and
yourself
counselor,
Cooper
and
the
officers
and
for
the
work
and
the
engagement
that
they
have
done
within
the
community.
H
I
look
forward
to
the
action
plan
that
and
and
looking
forward
to
the
work
we
do
to
tackle
the
Scrooge.
That
is
islamophobia
in
the
city.
Thank
you.
D
Yeah,
following
on
from
that
I
mean
you,
one
would
hope.
You'd
never
need
a
policy
like
this,
but
sadly
we
do
and
I
think
it's
right
that,
having
followed
on
from
the
the
adoption
of
the
ihra
definition,
this
is
the
the
right,
the
right
step.
D
I,
suppose
you
would
you
would
you
would
sort
of
want
one
policy
that
covers
all
forms
of
some
discrimination,
but
the
nature
of
discourse
in
the
extremes
today
is
that
you
can't
so
I
guess
the
next
stage
on
this
is
to
also
look
at
other
first
as
well,
and
look
at
how
we
can
address
some
of
the
racing
towards,
for
example,
hindrance
communities
in
the
city
as
well,
and
you'll
continue
to
have
cross-party
support
on
that.
I
Thanks
leader,
I
also
welcome
the
paper
and
I
think
given
the
rising
sort
of
hate
crime
against,
particularly
some
of
the
wonderful
members
of
of
the
community
I
think
this
is
this
is
welcomed.
I
I
think
I
think
islamophobia
since
still
there's,
as
many
people
out
there
to
understand
what
what
that
sort
of
stands
for.
What
does
that
mean?
So
this
is
very
obvious.
You
know
the
definition
and
I
hope
you
know.
This
is
just
a
one
big
step
in
the
right
direction.
There's
obviously
a
lot
work
to
be
done,
but
commend
the
work
done
by
councilor
hall
and
then
councilor
Cooper
before
that
in
in
the
officers
in
terms
of
getting
thus
far
and
taking
as
a
to
this
stage.
Thank
you
thank.
F
Thanks
chair
well,
when
I
was
reading,
the
paper
I
found
it
difficult
to
understand
what
the
difference
was
between
islamophobia
and
anti-muslim.
Prejudice
and
I
had
to
explain
to
me
and
they're,
not
I've,
sort
of
realized,
but
it's
less
important
about
how
I
feel
about
the
term
and
for
those
people
that
are
directly
affected
by
the
issue
and
reading
some
of
the
statistics
in
some
of
the
survey
stuff.
F
That's
here
it's
worrying
because
you
like
to
think
that
a
lot
of
the
problem
that
you
thought
was
there,
isn't
there
anymore
and
I
think
that
might
be
reflected
in
one
of
the
statistics
here
which
says
31
of
non-muslim
respondents
connected
to
the
council
were
less
than
moderately
concerned
about
anti-muslim
hatred
compared
to
three-quarters
of
Muslim.
Respondents
related
to
the
council
that
were
very
concerned
and
I.
Think
that's
the
issue.
Isn't
it
it's
for
us
to
recognize
that
as
people
who
are
responsible
so
I'm
happy
to
support
the
paper.
E
Thank
you
and
and
I
think
you
know
that
there
may
be.
You
know
some
understanding
needed
in
terms
of
why
the
rationale
around
why
we
looked
at
the
term
anti-muslim
Prejudice.
Of
course
it
came
from
you
know.
People
who
responded
in
the
survey
around
islamophobia
is
is
really
around
the
religious
aspect
of
racism
in
terms
of
their
religion.
Activities
and
anti-muslim
Prejudice,
of
course,
is
gives
it
a
much
wider
scope.
E
So
actually
it
looks
at
you
know
a
wider
area
of
their
lives,
not
just
around
the
the
faith
that
they're
may
be
undertaking
at
the
time.
So
you
know
access
to
services,
employment,
housing,
all
of
those
types
of
things
you
know
that
are
relevant
as
well:
I
I,
it's
really
awful
Isn't
it.
E
When
you,
you
have
to
say
that
you
need
a
policy
like
this
to
protect
people
within
your
own
city,
because
it
shouldn't
be
happening
in
this
day
and
age,
but
unfortunately,
it's
on
the
increase,
every
type
of
of
hate
crime
characteristic
is
on
the
increase
at
the
moment,
and
so
as
a
a
local
Authority.
E
We
need
to
ensure
that
we're
you
know
making
sure
that
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
protect
our
citizens
and
actually
set
a
good
example
for
other
organizations
to
follow
and
to
work
with
us
as
well
in
Partnership
around
all
of
that
work.
We
are
undertaking
and
from
the
point
that
you
made
Council
Stevenson
about.
Actually
what
do
we?
What
are
we
doing
in
terms
of
a
people
who
are
you
know
suffering
from
our
experience
in
this?
E
You
know
we're
doing
much
work.
There's
the
hair,
cram
strategic
board.
That's
undertaking
a
lot
of
work
in
different
areas
and,
of
course
we
have
to
prioritize.
E
You
know
which
piece
of
work
we
take
first
and
second
and
third,
and
so
on,
and
there's
also
the
race
for
equality
Bard,
which
I
chair
as
well,
which
is
not
just
cross
Council
working
with
directors
and
and
their
teams,
but
actually
it's
across
organizations
within
the
city
as
well.
So
Health,
you
know,
are
involved
in
that
as
our
West
Yorkshire
police,
as
our
Crown
prosecution,
Services.
E
Many
other
organizations
that
are
involved
in
in
that
work
to
try
and
and
tackle
the
worst
scourges
we
have
around
inequality
and
take
crime.
A
Thank
you,
councilor
Cooper.
Does
anybody
else
want
to
come
in
on
this
item?
I,
don't
see
anybody
else
want
to
come
in
so
I'll
just
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
498
and
doing
so.
Thank
that
everybody
who's
worked
as
Council
Harland
and
the
officers
who've
worked
on
bringing
this
paper
forward
and
I.
Take
it
from
this
country.
Guitar
to
everybody
is
in
support
of
the
recommendations.
A
That's
great!
Thank
you.
So
that
brings
us
to
the
end
of
the
public
part
of
the
meeting,
so
I'll
thank
everybody
for
attending
and
then
we'll
move
into
the
private
session.
Thank
you.
