A
And
for
Council
so
just
wanted
to
say
a
few
quick
words
of
thanks
to
Kath
for
her
service
here
at
the
council
over
the
last
seven
or
eight
years,
I
think
if
you're
gonna
pick
seven
or
eight
years
to
be
working
social
care,
the
years
that
covered
two
years
of
covert,
probably
added
more
variety
to
the
role
and
challenge
to
the
role
and
perhaps
at
other
times
so
just
on
behalf
of
also
everybody
here
would
decide
to
say.
Thank
you.
A
A
B
A
Thank
you
othering
late
items.
Normally
it
owns
a
business
to
consider
chair.
Thank
you,
I'll
turn
to
the
board
and
see
if
there's
any
Declarations
of
Interest,
don't
see
any
I'm
gonna
look
item,
five
turn
to
the
minutes
of
the
meeting
held
on
the
14th
of
December
and
check
that
the
board
confirms
they
are
correct
record.
A
Take
it.
The
board
is
happy
with
that.
We've
got
a
slight
adjustment
to
the
order
of
the
papers
and
we're
going
to
take
the
four
papers
under
resources
portfolio
first
so
and
then
move
on
to
adults,
children's
social
care
and
Health
Partnership.
So
councilor
Cooper,
please
item
seven,
we'll
start
with.
C
C
D
So
it's
nice
to
come
back
into
the
the
role
that
I'm
in
here
today,
but
all
of
my
service
has
been
across
West
Yorkshire
in
operational
policing,
particularly
around
neighborhood
policing,
which
I
think
is
quite
personal.
When
we
look
at
the
the
report
today
and
I
think
it's
fair
to
say
that
it
is
an
extremely
challenging
time
for
for
policing.
D
Recently,
we've
have
engaged
in
the
police
uplift
program,
which
has
seen
twenty
thousand
additional
police
officers
recruited
to
get
us
back
up
to
where
we
are
or
where
we
were
in
2010
at
the
start
of
the
the
reduction
numbers
there
so
really
really
positive.
In
that
sense,
we've
got
a
lot
of
new,
enthusiastic
police
officers
coming
into
the
organization
in
June
of
this
year.
D
The
force
will
will
reach
a
landmark
of
exceeding
our
2010
total
police
officer
number,
so
I
think
that's
a
real
positive
going
forward,
and
some
of
some
of
the
other
challenges
that
we've
had
we've
seen.
A
significant
increase
in
recorded
crime
over
the
last
few
years,
particularly
coming
out
of
the
pandemic
in
total,
leads
year
to
day,
has
seen
as
7.6
increase
in
crime.
D
D
Lisa
is
an
extremely
challenging
district
for
policing,
it's
one
of
the
biggest
policing
districts
in
the
country
and
and
and
bigger
than
a
number
of
individual
police
forces
as
well.
So
I
think
we.
We
cannot
underestimate
the
challenge.
I
think
the
report
points
to
some
really
good
progress
going
forward
and
over
the
last
Year,
and
that
gives
us
a
really
good
base
to
go
into
the
new
Financial
year,
with
a
real
focus
on
what's
important
to
our
communities
and
those
priorities.
D
D
As
you
will
no
doubt
imagine,
dealing
with
youth
violence
is
a
is
a
continuing
issue
and
and
a
focus
for
us
going
forward
and
will
be
a
key
part
of
the
work
into
next
year,
but
dealing
then
with
Community
issues
and
engagement,
both
through
the
national
police
race
action
plan,
which
will
be
a
focus
of
work
across
the
district,
but
also
as
well
a
a
reinvestment
and
rebuilding
of
our
neighborhood
policing,
strength
and
structure.
Which
brings
me
right
back
around
to
where
I
started.
D
My
piece
here
around
that
uplift
and
I
am
confident
and
that
the
that
I'll
be
able
to
provide
some
some
really
positive
news
in
the
coming
months.
Around
increasing
resources
in
terms
of
Frontline
policing
across
Leeds.
Just
waiting
for
some
some
clarification
on
that.
But
there
should
be
a
significant
investment
from
the
force
into
my
local
budget,
which
will
then
allow
us
to
recruit
those
officers
over
the
next
12
months
to
come
into
into
policing.
I'll
pause
there.
But
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
for
coming
today.
E
Yes,
Chiefs
of
retention
Welcome
to
our
exec
board,
I.
Think
you'd
accept,
wouldn't
you
that
on
anti-social,
Behavior,
despite
figures
showing
a
decrease
in
recorded
incidents,
most
members
of
the
public,
and
indeed
numerous
members
of
council
would
say.
Well,
that's
not
our
experience
and
that
many
of
us
are
seeing
in
our
own
areas
an
increase
in
various
forms
of
anti-social
Behavior.
Moving
up
as
far
as
carrying
offensive
weapons
and
intimidating
other
members
of
the
public
you'd
like
to
comment
on
that.
D
Yes,
thank
you.
Councilor
Carter,
I.
Think
there's
a
couple
of
points
to
make
here
that
part
of
the
reduction
in
the
numbers
of
anti-social
behavior
is
the
way
in
which
we
record
and
deal
with
some
of
those
offenses,
and
we
are
recording
more
public
order
based
offenses
rather
than
anti-social,
Behavior
offenses.
D
It's
around
that
partnership
approach,
the
Leeds,
anti-social,
Behavior
team
have
really
good
links
and
work
very
very
closely
with
with
with
ourselves
in
West,
Yorkshire
police
and
and
help
to
to
build
that
long-term
problem-solving
situation.
I'm,
certainly
not
sat
here
today
and
and
would
not
do
so
in
in
claiming
that
we
have
eradicated
or
significantly
removed
anti-social
Behavior
as
a
priority
across
the
city.
It
absolutely
is
there
it's
around
getting
that
proportionate,
appropriate
partnership-led
response
to
get
the
best
results
for
communities.
C
It's
actually
brought
about
a
reduction
in
in
terms
of
complaints
around
antisocial,
Behavior,
so
I
think
there
might
be
an
element
around
the
different
way
of
recording
crime,
but
there's
also
an
element
that
actually
we
must
give
some
praise
to
the
partnership
from
Laz
bat
and
the
police
than
others
who
were
working
in
our
city.
Doing
some.
C
You
know
extremely
difficult
work
with
members
of
the
public
and
achieving
some
really
good
results.
For
us.
I
mentioned
the
my
own
mod,
because
I
know
I
know
obviously
so
well
the
work
that
they've
done
there.
But
there
are
other
examples
that
I
talked
about
the
my
introduction,
which
was
around
the
world
cup
with
the
university
and
the
way
that
they've
been
able
to
reduce
the
number
of
complaints
around
noise
and
and
complaints
on
that
that
scale
as
well.
So
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
to
for
context.
E
F
There's
a
there's,
a
significant
investment
in
terms
of
tackling
the
issues,
both
the
issues
that
take
place
locally
and
I'm,
aware
of
particular
issues
taking
place
in
councilor,
Carter's
Ward
itself,
but
also
the
kind
of
the
kind
of
strategic
where
we're
looking
at
some
of
the
issues.
A
good
example
would
be
the
anti-social
use
of
Motor
Vehicles,
for
instance,
and
and
how
that's
really
playing
out
everywhere
there.
G
Chair
just
to
follow
up
those
queries
about
anti-social,
behavior,
neighborhood
policing,
as
was
mentioned
before,
is,
is
an
area
which
is
the
most
appreciated
by
the
taxpayer,
and
the
citizen
and
I
wanted
to
ask
a
question
really
about
our
neighborhood
policing
teams
and
how
they're
structured
and
what
the
effect
might
be
on
crime.
So,
oh
between
December,
2021,
December
2022,
apparently
in
the
Leeds
District,
our
neighborhood
crime,
which
is
theft,
spherical
offenses
and
burglar
Etc,
has
gone
up
by
22
percent.
G
At
the
same
time
since
2015,
the
number
of
pcsos
in
the
Yorkshire
and
Humber
region
covered
by
four
police
forces,
has
gone
down
by
a
third
in
some
forces
like
South
Yorkshire,
it's
gone
down
by
about
60
percent
in
in
the
Humber.
It's
gone
down
by
something
like
50
in
North
Yorkshire,
it's
gone
down
by
around
six
percent,
I
think
and
in
West
Yorkshire,
it's
gone
down
by
13
and
a
half
that's
up
until
2022.
G
this
year's
budget.
Its
savings
are
all
based
in
West
Yorkshire
on
a
vacancy
factor
for
pcsos,
so
that
we're
going
to
be
at
our
lowest
point
in
since
2015
in
terms
of
the
number
of
pcsos
that
are
on
our
streets.
Now
in
this
report,
it
talks
about
the
secret
for
neighborhood,
policing
being
based
on
intelligence
based,
policing
and
I've,
been
told
by
my
permanent
police
officers
on
my
neighborhood
policing
team
that
the
pcsos
are
essential
parts
of
that
team
in
gathering
that
information
on
a
neighborhood
level.
D
Thank
you
for
your
question.
I
think
I
think
there's
a
couple
of
things
that
we
probably
need
to
just
separate
out
here
to
understand
where
we
are
in
policing
terms.
So
I
think.
The
first
point
here
is
that
nationally
the
police
uplift
program
is
is
in
place.
There
is
a
requirement
for
forces
to
recruit
police
officers
to
the
allocations
and
the
numbers
that
that
are
allocated
to
them,
and
that,
in
essence,
is
a
non-negotiable.
We
have
got
to
we've
got
to
meet
those
targets.
D
At
the
same
time,
there
are
also
constraints
on
police
budgets,
both
at
a
national
level,
also
at
a
a
local
level
across
the
county,
and
we
are
being
asked
to
find
reductions
within
those
as
well.
I
would
counter
the
points
around
pcsos
are
being
used
and
singled
out
as
the
method
of
finding
those
reductions.
That
isn't
the
case
at
all.
The
force
is
going
through
a
a
massive
program
of
priority-based
budgeting
to
try
and
work
out
the
most
efficient
and
effective
use
of
our
resources.
D
D
We
have
invested
significantly
in
our
safeguarding
teams
over
the
last
12
months
and
committed
to
get
those
up
to
100
Staffing
because
of
the
the
issues
around
vulnerability,
policing
that
I've
mentioned,
and
as
a
result
of
that,
some
of
our
Team
strengths
across
other
areas
have
been
reduced
and
to
put
officers
into
that
very
important
role.
As
the
new
police
officers
and
police
recruits
come
into
policing.
We
are
starting
to
fill
up
teams
that
have
carried
vacancies
over
the
last
sort
of
12
to
18
months.
D
Neighborhood
policing
is
the
absolute
priority
around
that
and
so
terms
of
pcsos.
It
is
my
intention
to
maintain
the
level
of
pcso
deployment
that
I've
got.
I've
got
a
budget
to
work
to
and
and
those
numbers
will
continue.
I
ICP
csos
as
an
absolute
vital
and
important
part
of
policing
and
I
very
much
the
eyes
and
ears
and
and
information
intelligence
gatherers
of
of
policing
across
the
district.
C
And
again,
just
to
to
add
a
a
little
bit
of
context,
counselor
Galton
seems
to
have
done
his
homework
there
with
some
percentages.
It's
a
pity.
You
didn't
mention
the
one
figure
that
actually
the
West
Yorkshire
police
have
more
pcsos
per
head
of
population
than
most
other
districts
of
policing
and,
as
Steve
said,
it's
not
just
about
the
neighborhood
placing
team
who
are
in
neighborhoods,
but
it's
also
about
the
whole
of
the
policing
model
that
work
on
neighborhood
crime
and
and
I.
Think
to
single
out.
E
Okay,
just
on
that
last
subject,
I'm
sure
I've
no
need
to
remind
you
that
the
the
precept
for
the
police
Authority
the
amount
people
pay
is
going
up
substantially
in
this
coming
year.
We've
all
agreed
to
that.
This
man
was
made
put
under
some
pressure.
I
understand
that
the
precept
setting
meeting
to
give
some
commitments,
some
value
for
money
for
the
extra
money
that
the
council
taxpayers
would
be
paying
and
that
included
beefing
up,
neighborhood
policing
teams
which
she
has
committed
to
is
that
commitment
going
to
be
met.
E
Are
you
happy
that
the
safeguarding
boards
are
as
rigorous
as
they
need
to
be
and
pass
complaints
up
the
chain
when
they
really
need
to
be
whether
it's
violence,
a
risk
to
young
people,
or
indeed,
of
elderly
people
or
people
who
come
under
adult
social
care
and
the
third
question
very
quickly?
It
relates
to
the
Leeds
Festival
assurances
there.
I
have
been
briefed
on
last
year's
Festival
and
I
would
like
some
assurance
that
the
police
are
taking
very
seriously
the
alleged
shortcomings
there
might
have
been
on
safety
issues
at
the
Leeds
Festival.
D
D
So
if
I
can
in
terms
of
the
leads
Festival,
the
police
will
put
a
a
gold
silver
bronze
command
structure
around
that
and
we'll
work
very
closely
with
our
partners
and
the
organizers
to
make
sure
that
that
event
is
running
line
with
national
policing
operations
and
Public
Safety
requirements.
And
and
yes,
the
challenge
will
go
back
in
around
the
the
organization
and
the
the
running
of
that
event.
D
In
terms
of
the
the
arrangements
around
safeguarding
I
am
I
am
comfortable
and
confident
that
we
have
the
structures
in
place
and
that
we're
working
with
our
our
partners
to
work
through
any
issues
that
come
in
the
city.
There
has
been
a
a
significant
investment
of
time,
both
from
the
police
and
our
partners
around
reviewing
those
structures
and
very
much
working
to
make
those
as
effective
and
support
as
they
can
for
victims
across
the
the
the
city.
D
In
terms
of
the
resourcing
plan,
I
mean
the
points
for
the
the
points
around
the
mayor
and
the
challenges
are
probably
something
to
to
to
ask
and
and
and
ask
her
to
clarify
on,
but
in
terms
of
neighborhood
policing.
From
my
point
of
my
own
point
of
view
as
the
Leeds
District
Commander,
it
is
an
absolute
priority
for
me
it
is
a
key
part
of
my
district
structure.
Sure
and
I
spoke
at
the
beginning.
Around
increases
in
police,
resourcing
I
cannot
give
you
those
numbers
today,
because
I
haven't
been
given
them.
D
Yet
it's
still
something
for
consideration
in
terms
of
what
comes
in,
but
a
portion
of
that
resource
when
it
comes
to
me,
will
be
going
into
neighborhood
policing.
My
priority
at
the
moment
around
resourcing
and
Staffing
is
around
building
my
neighborhood
policing
teams
back
up
to
strength
and
with
within
the
last
month.
I've
got
to
a
point
now
where,
in
terms
of
my
inspectors,
I
have
six
permanent
inspectors
in
place
for
each
of
the
six
Naval
policing
teams.
D
I
have
36
sergeants
in
post,
which
is
my
full
compliment
now
and
I
am
currently
running
at
around
85
percent
police
officers
in
those
teams
and
as
I
get
more
and
more
officers
coming
in
through
the
recruitment
process.
They
are
going
into
there
and
getting
us
up
to
up
to
100.
If
the
resourcing
that
I'm
anticipating
comes
then
I
will
be
looking
to
increase
those
numbers
further.
D
C
Thank
you,
leader
and
and
I
think
just
to
offer
some
reassurance
there
to
both
councilor
Galton
and
councilor
Catherine
about
the
continued
commitment
to
work
in
Partnership
with
the
police
and
the
many
other
partners
that
we
work
with
at
Surfer,
Leeds
executive
is,
is
absolutely
from
us.
You've
heard
from
Stephen
you've.
C
Think
the
you
put
the
point
that
you
made
around
Leeds
Festival
I
know
there
has
been
a
lot
of
multi-agency
meetings
this
year
following
the
sad
death
of
an
individual
last
year's
Leeds
Festival,
to
see
how
things
may
well
be
improved
from
a
safety
level,
and
those
meetings
are
still
ongoing.
They
include
Festival
Republic,
who
are
all
Keen
to
ensure
that
we
get
the
right
model
in
place
for
this
year's
Leeds
festival
and
I.
Don't
know
that
that
involvement
is
cross-party
across
with
licensing
as
well.
C
So
I'd
really
like
to
thank
Steve
for
coming
to
the
bar
today
for
answering
questions
that
maybe
have
been
outside
the
sir
for
leads
report
that
we've
had
today
and
just
a
a
gentle
reminder.
Counselor
Carter,
we
relying
our
government
to
fund
our
police
properly.
This
is
work
that
we
do
in
Partnership
together
through
the
council
and
through
others,
to
add
value
to
that.
A
A
C
The
report
seeks
approval
to
proceed
with
phase
two
executive
Bard
already
approved
phase
one,
which
was
on
the
financial
improvements
to
be
made
through
their
car
business
transformation,
and
this
is
phase
two
and
it
seeks
approval
to
spend
eight
million
pounds
funded
through
Capital
receipts
for
the
procurement
and
implementation
of
this
new
system.
I'll
leave
it
there
thanks
later.
Thank.
E
Yes,
it's
very
expensive
but
necessary.
I.
Think
part
of
a
Project's
gonna
cost
eight
million
pounds.
It's
a
lot
of
money
to
get
our
electronic
systems
to
talk
to
each
other,
eight
million
pounds
for
an
electronic
conversation.
It
appears
to
me,
but
it
has
to
be
done
because,
when
6
000
members
of
our
staff
don't
have
access
to
all
the
council
systems
that
it
needs
are
rectifying
and
the
cost
is,
is
significant.
I
am
concerned
that
originally
we
were
con.
E
I
G
G
It
ended
up
costing
them
I
believe
11.4
million
to
rectify
the
damage
that
was
done
by
that
attack,
so
8
million
for
an
authority,
the
size
of
ours
is
actually
sounds
like
a
good
forward
plan
of
investment.
As
long
as
we
can
guarantee
that
what
we
are
bringing
in
is
the
top
end
in
terms
of
fighting
that
Cyber
attack,
so
some
Assurance
would
be
very
welcome.
A
Thank
you
for
you
to
say
we're
targeted
by
cyber
attacks
all
the
time
and
the
issue
is:
are
they
successful
in
what
the
attackers
want
to
do
in
terms
of
disabling
systems,
which
is
way
quite
right,
Council
gold,
you
know
sometimes
to
avoid
the
negative
consequences
for
councils
that
have
been
affected.
Why?
Sometimes
we
need
to
spend
the
money,
because,
let's
not
just
because
we
don't
have
the
negative
implications-
doesn't
mean
that
we're
not
being
targeted
all
the
time
Neil.
Would
you
like
to
come
in
please
yeah.
I
A
couple
of
things
on
this
I
mean
I
mean.
Sadly,
the
the
presence
of
Cyber
attack
does
mean
that
actually
replacement
of
systems
on
a
regular
basis
is
an
inevitability
now,
rather
than
something
which
one
can
choose
to
do.
So
we
used
to
do
something
called
sweat.
The
asset
try
to
keep
things
going
rather
than
spend
money
on
these
things,
but
actually,
when
they
represent
a
security
risk
that
actually
is
clearly
a
false
economy
and
in
both
these
cases
around
payroll
and
the
HR
systems.
I
They
are
going
to
go
out
of
support
with
the
the
movement
when
going
out
of
sport
next
year.
So
inevitably
we
have
to
do
something.
We
have
to
be
very
conscious
of
of
making
sure
that
we
are
absolutely
up
to
date
and
keeping
all
the
patches
going
and
so
forth,
but
actually
the
way
that
we're
going
with
the
finance
workers
working
with
Microsoft
and
working
with
a
such
a
big
supplier.
You
also,
then,
have
some
guarantees
around
the
quality
of
the
security
that
you
can
get
from
that
sort
of
firm.
A
A
J
A
C
Thank
you
later
and
my
last
paper
for
today,
and
it
is
chapter
nine
of
the
financial
monitoring
report
that
comes
to
Executive
Bard,
each
each
time
and
I'd
like
to
report
that
the
projected
overspend
as
improved
by
two
million
pound
from
December's
report,
and
it's
now
at
13
Point,
four
million
pound
we
intend
any
of
spend
will
be
funded
from
the
Strategic
contingency
reserve
and
balances.
So
we
will.
We
do
intend
to
bring
in
a
balanced
budget
at
the
end
of
it.
C
K
Improvement
council
card
is
down
to
the
savings
on
the
debt
budget
in
terms
of
these
two
items
there
one
we're
now
reflecting
the
slippage
in
in
the
capital
program
that
has
sort
of
detailed
in
in
this
report,
and
that
means
there's
a
lower
requirement
for
borrowings
and
that's,
which
is
a
borrowing
Cost
Plus.
Secondly,
we've
also
reviewed
the
MRP
calculation
and
recalculated
that
and
combined
that
improves
the
position
in
terms
of
debt
budget
for
reduced
level
of
spend.
By
about
three
and
a
half
million
pounds.
H
A
Thank
you,
I,
don't
see
any
more
questions,
so
I'll
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
100
and
92
and
I.
Take
it
everybody
it's
up
with
those
recommendations.
It's
great!
Thank
you,
councilor
Coop
and
we're
going
back
now
to
adults,
children,
social
care
and
health,
Partnerships
and
Council
vendors
and
item
six.
Please
Council
of
Anna.
L
Thank
you
to
I'd
just
like
to
welcome
Richard
Jones
who's,
just
joining
us
at
the
table.
Richard's
the
independent
chair
for
the
safeguarding
adults
board,
so
I'm
just
going
to
make
some
really
brief,
introductory
comments
on
the
annual
report
of
the
lead,
safeguarding
adults
board
and
then
I'll
hand
over
to
Richard.
L
So
this
year
we
focused
on
the
board
fairly
extensively,
as
is
reflected
in
the
report
on
making
safeguarding
and
the
language
of
safeguarding
accessible
to
the
diverse
communities
of
Leeds,
and
we've
done
that
through
things
like,
we
had
a
workshop
just
before
Christmas
with
a
number
of
Grassroots
Community
organizations
that
particularly
support
people
from
black
and
minority
ethnic
communities.
So
members
got
to
hear
very
directly
about
people's
lived
experiences
of
safeguarding
from
those
communities
and
there's
also
a
really
fantastic
partnership
with
Advent
the
advocacy
charity
and
Leeds,
particularly
around
supporting
people
with
with
learning
disabilities.
L
So
talk
to
me
hear
my
voice
hear
my
safeguarding
story
is
a
strong
theme
which
permeates
all
all
the
work
of
the
board.
We've
also
been
focusing
extensively
on
self-neglect
and
that's
following
some
reviews
of
serious
incidents
where
self-neglect
was
a
feature.
So
we
have
a
self-neglect
strategy
that
we've
just
launched
for
the
city,
which
is
very
wide,
reaching
it's
a
cross-council
strategy
but
also
brings
and
partners
from
outside
the
council.
L
So,
for
example,
housing
have
been
very
involved
in
that
because
often
housing
workers
might
be
the
only
people
crossing
the
threshold
and
going
into
someone's
home.
So
it's
really
important
that
self-neglect
doesn't
only
sit
with
social
care,
but
it's
a
is
seen
as
a
responsibility
of
the
The,
Wider,
Council
and
also
our
partners.
L
M
You
councilor
banner
and
thank
you
chair,
so
it's
really
good
to
be
back
here
again
for
this
annual
report
and
I.
Think
it's
it's
it's
great!
That
Leeds
wants
to
create
space
in
and
among
all
the
other
kind
of
challenges
that
you
have
to
just
focus
briefly
on
those
most
vulnerable
citizens
in
our
community.
So
what
you
have
before
you
is
our
annual
report
for
2122.
That
sounds
a
long
time
ago
now.
M
M
And
what
we
do
know
clear
really
is
that,
in
the
face
of
those
challenges,
it's
often
the
most
vulnerable,
who
have
the
biggest
hill
to
climb
so
just
quickly
a
comment
about
activity
levels.
So
what
we've
seen
over
the
last
sort
of
five
or
six
years
in
Leeds
is
an
increasing
level
of
concerns
being
raised
across
Partners
third
communities,
voluntary
sector
Partners
too,
to
the
safeguarding
process
and
I.
Think
that
is
a
really
positive
thing.
M
It
Maps
the
trend
nationally,
although
I
think
our
level
of
concerns
grew
by
about
11,
which
is
an
ex
in
excess
of
the
national
pitch,
which
is
about
eight,
and
those
concerns
at
times
will
then
trigger.
What's
called
section,
42
inquiry
an
investigation,
if
you
like
of
the
circumstances
and
the
issues
and
the
risks
and
we've
seen
a
similar
level
of
activity
in
that
area
again
against
the
national
pitcher,
which
has
gone
slightly
up.
M
The
biggest
area
of
concern
focuses
on
issues
around
self-neglect
and
acts
of
a
mission,
and
that
makes
up
nearly
well
well
over
a
third
of
the
the
concerns
that
are
raised
by
people
within
the
city
and
I.
Think
the
final
thing
I'd
say
just
on
activity
is
that
if
you
look
at
outcomes
and
that's
really
what
we've
got
to
be
driven
by,
what
is
the
difference?
We're
making
to
vulnerable
people?
M
Well,
nearly
nine
in
ten
people
will
report
or
will
be
reported
through
a
trusted
friend
or
a
local
trusted
organization
that
they
have
seen
a
reduction,
all
the
elimination
of
the
risks
and
the
concerns
that
they
came
with
into
a
safeguarding
process.
We
are
working
with
four
key
objectives
which
have
been
developed
with
citizens
and
partners.
One
is
and,
and
the
key
one
is
that
with
citizen-led
and
I'm
really
proud
about
the
work.
M
Is
that
issues
around
capacity,
mental
capacity
issues
around
alcohol
and
drug
misuse,
issues
around
multi-agency,
working
hate
crime
and
fire
safety
will
be
core
to
what
it
is.
As
a
partnership,
we
want
to
do
and
finally,
chair
very
quickly
I
just
wanted
to
as
your
independent
chair
to
thank
my
board.
Colleagues,
all
of
us
are
only
as
good
as
the
people
around
us,
so
I'm
really
appreciative
of
the
partnership
work
that
goes
on
across
the
city.
M
The
work
of
individuals
who
Champion
key
elements
of
our
program
and
for
Frontline
staff,
whether
they
be
in
front
the
voluntary
or
the
statutory
sector,
for
their
ongoing
ability
to
rise
to
the
challenge
that
individuals
and
communities
face,
and
a
final
comment
from
me-
is
the
cath
to
thank
her
as
the
Director
of
Adult
Services,
director
of
adults
and
health,
for
your
leadership.
Your
contribution,
your
challenge
and
your
passion.
Because
that's
what
we
need.
A
E
Yes,
thank
thanks.
Richard
and
I'm
sure
you
and
your
board
are
doing
a
very
thorough
job,
but
there's
I've
been
taking
a
specific
interest
in
safeguarding
at
all
levels
of
late
and
I
would
like
to
ask
a
particular
question
about
safeguarding
adult
reviews
and
particularly
about
the
composition
of
your
board
and
more
particularly
the
board
when
it
reviews
a
serious
safeguarding
issue.
There
are
no
politicians
involved
with
that
either.
M
Thank
you
very
much,
councilor
Carter,
so
we
have
a
duty.
One.
Safeguarding
airports
have
only
really
three
kind
of
accountabilities
and
duties
statute
responsibilities,
but
one
is
to
undertake
safeguarding
adult
reviews
where
we,
where
three
criteria
need
to
be
met.
One
is
that
there's
been
significant
injury
or
a
death.
M
Actually,
there
might
well
be
some
interface
working
within
the
NHS
that
needs
to
be
sorted
rather
than
a
whole
system
problem
about
how
all
partners
are
working
together
and
then
we
as
a
board-
and
we
have
a
subgroup
that
undertakes
this
responsibility
for
us
and
you're
right.
It
doesn't
involve
elected
members.
M
Council
of
Anna
is
very
helpfully
a
member
of
our
board
and
brings
the
perspective
as
an
elect,
remember
and
with
her
executive
role
too,
but
that
is
a
subgroup
that
has
a
senior
police
officer,
a
senior
member
of
the
colleagues
in
the
NHS.
It
has
a
senior
member
from
adults
and
health
and
myself
as
a
chair,
and
what
we
do
is
we
discuss.
M
We
decide
whether
or
not
we
feel
the
concern
that's
been
raised
should
actually
move
to
the
next
step,
and
the
next
step
is
to
gain
and
gather
all
the
possible
information
we
can
about
the
case,
and
we
then
come
back
once.
We've
got
all
that
information
to
making
a
decision
as
to
whether
or
not
we
feel
the
criteria
are
met
for
a
safeguarding
adult
review.
Sometimes
they
are,
as
you
you
mentioned
in
the
report.
M
There
were
two
when
we
didn't
feel
that
was
the
case,
but
would
encourage
agencies
to
go
away
and
and
progress
individual
agency
learning
and
if
that's
the
case,
we'll
commission
an
independent
person
to
undertake
that
review
on
our
behalf
and
that
will
then
come
back
to
the
board.
For
agreement
and
for
ensuring
that
the
learning
that's
generated
from
it
makes
a
difference
in
practice.
E
M
Yeah,
yes,
in
a
sense
up
the
chain
is
the
board:
that's
we
we
don't
go.
That's
the
board
ultimately
holds
the
responsibility,
the
accountability
for
making
a
decision
as
to
whether
or
not
to
safeguardian.
Adult
review
should
be
undertaken.
So
what
the
subgroup
does
it
doesn't
have
the
decision
to
undertake
a
review.
What
it
is,
then,
what
it
is
able
to
do
is
to
ensure
that
we
gather
the
information.
M
We
do
the
scoping
piece
and
then
we
go
back
to
the
board
once
all
that
information
has
been
available
with
a
recommendation
as
to
whether
or
not
we
feel
we
should
progress,
a
safeguarding
adult
review
or
we
shouldn't,
and
then
that
is
a
whole
board
decision
involving
all
all
the
partners
that
sit
around
that
board
table.
Councilor,
Carter
I,
hope
that's
clear.
Yeah
thank.
N
N
I
also
wanted
to
commend
the
work
on
equality
and
diversity
and
hope
that
that
you
know
continues
into
the
future,
and
you
know,
I
think
it's
critical
in
a
city
like
ours
that
we
have
that
sort
of
fine
grain
and
not
all
with
the
big.
You
know,
National
systems
that
we're
often
dealing
with
and
National
policies
in
a
big
city
like
ours,
with
big
organizations
like
ours,
that
person-centered
approach
and
ability
to
adapt
to
different
communities
needs
is
not
always
something
that
happens
naturally.
A
Thank
you,
Tom
I,
don't
see
somebody
else
wanting
to
comment
on
this
report,
so
I'll
move
to
the
recommendations
on
page
23
and
24
and
I.
Take
it
everybody's
happy
with
those
recommendations
and
thank
you
for
coming
along
Richard.
We
appreciate
your
time
moving
on
the
agenda.
Now
we're
going
to
my
portfolio
the
leaders
portfolio.
The
first
item:
11
is
in
three
parts,
which
is
the
budget
papers
through
refer
to
full
Council.
A
A
K
Subsequent
to
that
this
week,
and
after
publication
of
this
document,
we
got
the
final
local
government
Finance
settlement,
which
was
consistent
with
the
assumptions
in
here,
albeit
on
on
two
particular
areas.
Firstly,
with
regard
to
the
services
Grant
in
terms
of
the
after
an
allocation
of
a
sort
of
a
contingency
for
the
final
settlement
from
government
is
the
council
will
be
in
receipt
of
a
further
253
000
pounds
in
23
24,
and
the
intention
is
that
is
contributing
towards
the
Strategic
contingency
reserve.
K
Secondly,
in
terms
of
the
Surplus
on
the
business
rates,
Levy
account.
This
is
for
terrible
authorities
to
fund
what
contingency
against
sort
of
the
funding
the
sort
of
safety
net
the
Surplus
on
that
has
been
allocated
to
local
authorities
and
Leeds
will
receive
1.3
million
pounds
that
will
be
receivable
in
The
Current
financial
year.
Hopefully
we'll
help
with
that
overspend
that
we
reflected
on
on
the
previous
paper
and
the
next
Financial
Health
Report.
K
To
this
board
will
reflect
that
in
in
the
figures
and
then,
secondly,
can
I
take
you
in
Martin's
example
of
of
fessing
up
in
terms
of
the
the
report
that
we've
got
just
in
terms
of
on
section
three
page
241
in
terms
of
the
budget
gaps
that
we
have
for
24,
25
and
25
26,
and
those
gaps
should
be
43
million
pounds
and
28.7
million
respectively,
not
48
and
26.7,
and
that
detail
is
correct
within
the
appendix
one
is
just
on
the
cover
report,
so
it'll
be
notified
minutes.
Please.
Thank
you.
K
A
The
paper
sets
out
our
our
step
forwards,
there's
a
useful
diagram
that
shows
the
timeline
moving
forward
about
how
we
will
take
forward
our
our
response
to
the
peer
review.
I
think
we
were
all
very
pleased
with
the
conclusions
it
drew
but
recognize
their
areas
that
it
brought
into
brought
to
our
attention
where
further
work
was
needed.
A
So
this
report
sets
out
the
future
actions
and
that
this
that
the
action
plan
will
also
be
going
to
the
strategy
and
resources
scrutiny
board
as
well
in
the
future
steps.
So
with
that
I
take
it,
everybody
is
happy
with
the
recommendations
on
page
611
612,
so
we'll
move
on
to
item
13
and
we're
on
to
council
Hayden's
papers.
Please.
O
Thank
you
very
much
chair,
so
item
number
13
is
the
initial
public
consultation
on
the
proposed
scope
of
Leeds
local
plan
2040..
So
this
is
a
scoping
document
on
the
second
local
Plan
update
updating
policies
not
included
in
local
Plan
update,
one
which
is
called
is
known
as
your
city,
your
neighborhood,
your
planet.
So
this
is
the
Leeds
local
plan
2040..
This
consultation
marks
the
start
of
the
engagement
stage
of
the
Leeds
local
plan
2040
and
helps
decide
what
should
be
included
within
the
scope
of
the
of
the
update.
O
E
Is
what
it
is
it's
a
consultation
paper
all
I
want
is
an
assurance
that
we
will
widely
consult
and
that
we
were
Mighty
carefully
the
volume
of
responses
and
take
appropriate
action
as
we
go
along.
If
we
are
not
getting
the
level
of
consultation
responses,
we
are,
we
ought
to
be
seeing
on
what
will
be
an
extremely
important
and
serious
piece
of
work
going
forward
that
members
of
the
public
should
be
kept
informed
of
as
much
as
humanly
possible.
O
P
Yeah
thanks
counselor
Carter,
just
just
to
bring
executive
board
up
to
date
with
our
statement
of
community
involvement,
which
was
adopted
last
year.
That
sets
out
for
the
first
time
for
the
council
and
actually,
unusually,
for
a
local
Authority
specific
indicators
around
Gathering
views
of
people
and
three
of
those
indicators
are
relevant.
The
first
is
to
get
a
response
from
all
communities
across
Leeds.
P
G
So
it
meant
that
you
didn't
know
exactly
what
the
sentiment
was
for
the
role
of
town
and
District
centers
going
forward,
and
it
seemed
to
focus
most
necessarily
on
commercial
and
business
use,
as
opposed
to
the
potential
of
our
town,
District
centers,
and
the
way
that
they've
changed
in
terms
of
being
social
hubs
and
deliverers
of
health
and
well-being
outcomes,
not
just
about
shops
and
houses.
So
I
look
forward
to
that
being
clarified
and
developed
further.
P
Yeah
thanks
Council
for
Golden.
It
certainly
isn't
an
intention
to
to
restrict
the
uses
within
Town
centers.
We
need
to
think
about
their
their
role
moving
forward
and
certainly
welcome
sort
of
a
focus
on
cultural
and
social
activities
within
our
local
and
town
centers.
So
we'll
make
sure
that
we
flag
that
up
as
we
move
through
the
consultation.
O
You
just
to
reitate
that
this
is
a
scoping
document.
This
is
not
so
of
what
we'll
go
into
the
the
consultation
which,
as
you
quite
rightly
says,
will
take
a
considerable
amount
of
time
and
then,
a
few
years
before
we
get
to
the
finished
document,
so
there'll
be
plenty
of
scope
and
there's
nothing
there
in
that
paragraph,
to
restrict
anything,
because
what
we're
inviting
is
people
to
feed
into
the
scoping
document
to
tell
us
what
they
want
to
be
consulted
on
further.
A
O
So
there's
lots
going
on
and
there's
still
lots
to
do.
However,
I
do
want
to
know
that
funding
remains
uncertain.
There's
a
high
Reliance
on
variable
government
grants
and
competitive
bidding
processes
which
don't
lend
doesn't
lend
itself
to
long-term
planning
and
to
achieving
those
aims
that
we
have
those
ambitious
aims
that
we
have
in
a
timely
way,
so
I'll
leave
it
there.
E
It's
we're
setting
out
where
we
are
with
a
number
of
a
number
of
schemes,
but
I
would
like
some
additional
work.
Doing
and
I
entirely
accept
the
carbon
reduction
need
for
carbon
reduction
and
the
targets,
but
I
have
to
say
I.
Do
wonder
what
the
effect
of
a
lot
of
schemes
going
on
at
once?
Sometimes
to
the
man,
the
man
in
the
street.
J
Yeah,
thank
you.
Chair
I
mean
in
terms
of
football
councilor.
Carter
football
in
23
is
actually
increased
quite
significantly
to
date,
so
that
that
is
really
encouraging
in
terms
of
the
numbers
that
are
coming
through.
No
it
no.
It
is,
and
also
that's
being
confirmed
by
the
by
the
retailers
as
well
in
the
city
center,
who
are
confirming
a
significant
uplift
on
where
it
on
where
it
was
with
regard
to
the
planning,
I
think
there's
two
aspects
there.
J
We
then
also
do
a
lot
of
work
in
terms
of
making
sure
that,
notwithstanding
that
last
point,
the
work
is
planned
in
as
in
as
in
as
good
a
way
as
we
can
and
we'd
have
regards
to
the
interdependencies
of
different
what
different
works.
But
what
we
can't
allow
for
is
some
of
those
things
that
are
outside
of
our
control,
such
as
rail
strikes
such
as
emergency
works
on
the
highway
that
utility
providers
have
to
have
to
bring
forward,
and
that
that
does
create
a
challenge.
For
us.
Q
R
A
G
Thanks
chair,
I,
just
I,
wasn't
sure
if
I'd
missed
it
somewhere,
but
there
is
reference
to
20-minute
neighborhoods
in
terms
of
them
being
a
positive
concept
that
the
council
is
interested
in.
Can
you
demonstrate
in
this
plan
what
you're
going
to
do
to
implement
20-minute
neighborhoods
within
neighborhoods.
O
I
think
you're,
referring
to
local
Plan
update,
one
which
talks
about
is
being
consulted
on
over
the
last
few
months,
and
that's
not
this
document,
and
this
document
is
the
leads
transport
strategy,
action
plan,
annual
update
and
what
we've
been
doing.
Yeah
so
20
minute
neighborhoods
have
been
consulted
on
in
local
Plan
update
one,
your
planet,
your
city,
your
life
and
those
things,
and
not
in
this
document.
Here.
G
Yes,
well,
hopefully,
I
assumed
you
had
joined
up
thinking
in
the
council
and
that
one
strategy
document
would
speak
to
another
strategy
document.
And
if
you
were
interested
in
20-minute
neighborhoods,
you
don't
need
to
go
out
to
consultation
to
discuss
what
is
it?
You
need
to
have
some
idea
about
how
you
might
want
to
implement
it
as
part
of
your
transport
plan,
instead
of
just
thinking
of
it
as
some
kind
of
asset
investment
strategy.
O
Yeah,
quite
likely,
would
you
like
me
to
use
my
teacher
voice
right
so
this
they
do
talk
to
each
other.
That's
why
I
love
my
portfolio
because
they
all
talk
to
each
talk
to
each
other
20
number
minute.
Neighborhoods
is
a
concept.
It's
a
very
positive
concept.
Where,
where
you
live,
you
should
be
able
to
access
everything
you
need
within
20
minutes,
walk
so
and
that's
doctors,
schools,
shops,
libraries,
everything
like
that.
It's
not
necessarily
a
transport
strategy.
O
Now
where
transport
speaks
to
that
policy,
is
making
it
easier
for
people
to
cycle
and
walk
and
not
get
you
know
maimed
on
the
roads
and
not
have
to
use
their
car.
Although
you
know
car
is
needed
for
certain
Journeys
and
and
that's
why
all
this
transport
working
is
going
into
in
terms
of
public
transport,
cycling
and
walking
and
making
it
our
neighborhoods
much
more
pleasant
places
to
live,
work
and
play,
but
I
can
bring
in
Gary
to
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
more.
Thank
you.
S
Please
Gary
thank
you,
councilor
Hayden,
just
to
expand
on
what
councilor
Hayden's
just
said
there
in
the
version
of
this
report
next
year,
I
would
expect
to
see
further
details
around
this
particular
area
of
work.
There
are
there's
been
ongoing
discussions
with
councilor
Hayden
and
councilor
Carlyle
about
healthier
streets
and
how
we
might
roll
out
some
of
the
concepts
that
have
been
talked
about
here
and
so
I
would
expect
this
annual
plan
next
year
to
cover
that
off
so
watch
this
space.
N
A
O
O
O
So
therefore,
we
weren't
digging
up
the
road
numerous
times
and
that
took
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
content,
iteration
and
thinking
and
legal
processes,
and
but
was
done
really
really
well.
So
just
a
huge
thank
you
and-
and
it
just
shows
that
we
in
leads,
can
deliver
and
deliver
well
and
I.
Look
forward
to
the
government
recognizing
that
with
extra
funding
in
the
future.
G
But
thanks
to
the
inflation
review,
which
was
signed
off
by
you,
both
of
those
schemes
have
had
Millions
taken
out
of
them.
So,
for
instance,
the
one
that's
going
through
my
patch,
which
is
the
a639
scheme,
has
had
seven
million
pounds
taken
off
it
so
that
it
can
be
spent
on
the
city
center
schemes,
which
are
overheating
and
costing
more
than
you
expected.
O
You
chair
sorry
for
jumping
in
too
quickly
there
I
will
bring
Gary
in
with
the
the
the
details,
but
the
corridor
scheme
that
you're
referring
to
is
one
with
Wakefield
and
there
were
inflationary
pressures.
It
wasn't
just
me
that
signed
that
off,
because
it
was
with
Wakefield
and
West
Yorkshire
combined
Authority
and
the
mayor
Tracy,
braben
and
I'm
not
blaming
her.
It
was
done
in
consultation
and
it
was
a
West
Yorkshire
wide
decision
over
a
number
of
schemes.
O
S
As
a
report
outlines,
there
was
money
moving
from
various
budget
headings,
but
obviously
the
point
that
councilor
golton
is
making
is
that
works.
Just
did
not
take
place
in
Roswell
at
all,
so
I
would
just
need
to
double
check
that,
and
if
that's
an
error
in
the
report,
then
obviously
we
apologize
for
that.
But
as
I
say,
some
money
was
moved
around
from
various
budgets
to
allow
progress
to
be
made
in
terms
of
the
a639
scheme.
A
A
E
I
reluctant
to
defend
councilor
Galton,
but
you
sent
out
the
list
of
schemes.
The
email
came
in
your
name
that
were
being
suggested
to
wika
from
the
Leeds
part
that
would
have
to
have
the
funding
reduced
or
cut
back
altogether
came
from
you
now
I'm
used
to
you
blaming
everybody
Under
the
Sun,
usually
the
government
for
everything.
But
when
you
start
blaming
the
mayor,
there's
plenty
of
blame
her
for
get
it
right.
O
Carter
Casa
did
because
I
was
asked
to.
We
were
asked
to
review
because
inflation's
at
such
a
rampant
level
that
we
can't
haven't
got
the
money
in
the
pot,
so
we
had
to
review
and
from
Leeds
and
and
all
across
West
Yorkshire.
We
were
asked
to
review
our
schemes
and
that's
my
role
and
that's
my
job
and
that's
exactly
what
I
did
I
am
taking
responsibility.
O
I
councilor
Carlson
said
well:
I
signed
off,
no
I
didn't
sign
it
off.
I
said
these
are
the
schemes
that
we
are
having
problems
financing
and
these
are
our
suggestions
to
reduce
the
the
costing
of
because
of
inflation's
at
10
and
even
more
in
construct
in
the
construction
world.
So
we
were
asked
a
question.
I
suggested
this
list
along
with
Gary,
with
of
we
were,
which
we
were
asked
to
do.
O
O
A
A
Galton
I'm
going
to
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
this
report
on
page
on
page
I'm,
not
laughing
counselor,
Carter
I'm,
going
to
turn
to
the
I'm.
Turning
to
the
recommendations
on
page
880,
seven
of
this
report
and
do
everybody
except
those
I
take
it,
everybody
does
so
we'll
go
move
on
to
councilor
Harlan's
papers
in
item
16.
Please.
T
Thank
you
chair,
follow
that,
so
this
report
presents
our
refreshed
and
enhanced
approach
to
equality,
diversity
and
inclusion,
including
a
vision
statement,
an
action
plan
developed
two
movers
or
per
gear
on
this
agenda.
It
reflects
an
increasing
awareness
in
society
around
equality.
The
last
decade
has
seen
this
city
and
the
country.
It
fits
a
range
of
challenges,
from
austerity
to
brexit
covered
to
the
current
cost
of
living
crisis,
and
the
impact
of
this
has
often
been
felt
most
by
those
communities
already
marginalized.
T
The
city
is
also
get
an
increasingly
diverse,
as
seen
by
the
early
returns
from
the
last
year's
census
and
citizens.
Expectations
on
this
agenda
are
increasing
13
years
since
the
equality
act
2010
was
passed,
people
are
expecting
more
and
faster
progress
to
address
and
remove
discrimination
to
ensure
everyone
in
society
has
the
same
opportunities
to
thrive.
T
Our
legal
duties
under
the
equality
act
2010
are
to
eliminate
unlawful
discrimination,
Advance
equality
of
opportunity
and
Foster
good
relations
between
those
who
shared
sorry
share,
a
protected
characteristic
and
those
who
don't.
But
we
believe
we
have
a
leadership
role
in
Leeds
and
that
we
should
do
more
and
will
do
more
than
this,
and
the
statement
and
action
plan
reflect
this.
T
We've
consulted
with
and
received
support
from
equality,
lead
members,
the
equality
assembly
and
equality
hubs,
equality,
staff
networks,
the
corporate
and
direct
equality
boards,
trade
unions
and
the
freedom
to
speak
up
Guardian.
The
West
Yorkshire
compound
Authority
equality
lead
and
the
safer
and
stronger
communities
team,
extended
leadership.
Team
I'd
like
to
thank
all
of
them
for
their
valuable
feedback
and
support.
T
This
paper
was
due
to
come
to
exec
Bard.
Some
months
ago,
but
because
of
the
initial
consultation
feedback,
we
deferred
it,
and
it's
taken
us
about
nine
months
to
get
here
that
I
do
think
it
was
worth
the
work
and
was
right
to
take
all
the
feedback
we
rece
received
into
consideration
before
finalizing
it.
T
It's
important
to
stress
that
the
work
of
this
paper
supports,
rather
than
replaces
our
existing
equality,
diversity
and
inclusion
work,
including
our
equality
and
diversity
policy.
We
call
it
Improvement
priorities
and
annual
report.
Nonetheless,
we're
joining
up
this
new
approach
to
the
existing
work,
as
there
are
five
specific
priorities
across
each
three
strands,
which
will
formally
be
reported
against
in
our
annual
equality
reports.
T
T
A
A
U
Thank
you.
Thank
you
chair.
The
report
provides
an
update
on
the
approach
being
taken
to
tackle
dumping
and
mold
issues.
They
aimed
the
reporters
provide
an
assurance
that
robust
measures
are
in
place
to
deal
with
the
issue
and
that
the
safety
residency
is
being
a
problem
properly
prioritized.
The
council
has
taken
up
a
proactive
approach
to
dumping
a
mold
for
some
time.
However,
this
report
sets
out
the
council
as
introduced
further
productive
makers,
ability
to
sponsor
the
housing
of
the
ombudsman's
report
about
light
on
dumping
mold.
U
What
changes
have
been
put
in
place
since
these
events,
including
a
revised
Governor's
arrangements
with
dump
and
mold
prevention
board,
to
oversee
the
orbital
dump
and
mold
strategy,
the
formation
of
a
dedicated
team
to
respond
to
tenants,
dumping
more
reports
directly
from
tenants
and
an
improve
their
sport
to
tenants
in
fuel
poverty
who
are
less
able
to
heat
and
ventilate
their
homes?
Once
the
report
focuses
in
Maine
on
dumping
molding
Council
homes,
it
also
highlights
the
council's
responsibility
for
enforcing
against
landlords
in
private
rented
sector
whose
homes
contain
dampen
mold
hazards.
U
The
report
sets
out
that,
despite
the
recent
instruction
by
Secretary
of
State
for
leveling
up
housing
communities
for
local
authorities
to
do
more
to
address
dumping
mold
in
private
rented
homes,
the
council's
enforcement
approach
already
goes
over
and
above
the
existing
statutory
Duty
I'll
just
stop.
There
I
think
the
report
is
fairly
explanatory
and
includes
quite
a
bit
information
happy
to
take
any
comments
or
questions
share.
Thank.
E
So
well,
it's
very
sorry,
particularly
to
the
person
who
lives
in
the
property,
so
some
assurances
that
there
are
no
cases
that
we
know
of
like
this
of
category
one
damp
and
I
would
like
the
director
to
explain
to
me
exactly
our
role
in
the
private
rented
sector
Does.
It
include
housing
associations
because
they
are
now
big
landlords
in
the
city
and
I
think
we
need
to
move
at
some
speed
on
on
this
I
mean
over
the
years
we've
heard
the
excuse
over
and
over
again
it's
lifestyle.
It's
this!
E
It's
that
it's
opens
the
windows
and
presumably
freeze
to
death,
and-
and
now
we've
got
right
down
to
it
at
long
last
chronic
damp
and
mole
ringing
with
it
all
the
health
issues.
It
undoubtedly
does
wherever
in
whatever
sort
of
house
it's
in
and
I
I
would
like
to
see
some
action
and
action
quickly.
Now,
when
the
Ombudsman
and
I
take
it
chief
executive,
you
read
the
ombudsman's
press
release,
it's
not
a
happy
tale
and
I
would
expect
now
to
have
reports
back
here
on
a
regular
basis
as
to
the
action
not
we're.
E
Thinking
about
this
we've
got
people
doing
this
that
and
the
other
action
on
these
properties,
because
they
aren't
just
in
the
council's
care
to
be
fair.
They
are
not
just
in
the
council's
care.
I
am
worried
greatly
about
some
in
the
private
renting
sector
when
I
see
ones
up
to
up
to
let
around
the
city
center
or
just
on
the
immediate
outskirts
and
I'll
go
past
them
and
I.
E
V
This
Tech
has
far
too
long
to
address
that
issue
and
we
accept
the
finders
of
the
Ombudsman
and
we've
certainly
learned
from
that
in
terms
of
what
we're
doing
around
freezing
damper
molding
our
properties
I
think
the
paper
highlights
a
number
of
the
things
that
we
picked
up
on,
but
just
to
give
some
Assurance
to
everybody.
We
put
significant
additional
resources
into
the
team,
but
it's
not
just
that.
We've
created
a
specific
team
within
housing
management,
but
we're
actually
trying
to
get
much
wider
than
that.
V
So
we
trained
are
we
in
the
process
of
training,
all
our
staff
that
go
into
our
properties
to
make
sure
that
they
can
identify
issues
that
I'm
promoted
feedback?
That's
not
just
the
repairs
team,
but
it's
much
wider
than
that.
So
it's
housing
management,
it's
housing
officers,
it's
health
and
housing
staff.
Everybody
we
expect
who
goes
into
a
property
will
be
able
to
address
it.
V
I
know
you
mentioned
lifestyle
B
not
being
a
factor
in
terms
of
dump
and
mold,
and
we
accept
that
recommendation.
But
some
of
the
challenges
that
some
of
our
tenants
have
got
around
condensation,
which
can
lead
to
damper
mold
in
a
number
of
our
properties,
is
the
inability
to
heat
their
homes,
and
that
is
a
direct
Factor.
R
Thank
you,
Housing
Association,
under
the
Housing
Act,
is
the
same
as
any
other
land
private
landlord.
We
have
powers
to
serve
notice
if
we
need
to,
and
we
have
powers
to
prosecute
if
you
need
to
in
certain
instances
we
have
undertaken.
All
the
inspections
of
properties
belonging
to
certain
housing
associations
are
part
of
wider
area
agendas.
So
when
we've
done
the
work
we've
done
in
hold
back
offices
in
the
private
rental
team
have
also
inspected
not
just
our
properties
but
those
belonging
to
housing
associations
to
make
sure
they
meet
the
minimum
standards
required.
N
N
I
think
the
housing
Ombudsman
mod
generally
has
become
more
proactive
and
I
would
I
would
reflect
that.
This
is
an
individual
case
that
we've
been
you
know,
rightly
identified
for,
but
we
haven't
been
in
the
situation
that
some
other
others
have
been,
where
it's
been
a
a
large,
a
much
much
larger
number
of
of
challenges
that
they've
had
in
complaints
that
they've
had
so
just
to
give.
You
reassurance
that
we're
absolutely
taking
that
seriously.
N
I
was
pleased
to
once
we
obviously
we
had
the
the
tragic
case
over
in
the
Northwest
and
once
something
like
that
happens.
Obviously
you
you
immediately
get
concerned
about
your
own
organization
and
once
I'd
asked
the
question,
the
team
had
already
responded
to
all
the
accepted
all
the
ombudsman's
recommendations
from
a
previous
report
on
dampen
mold
and
had
a
a
group
set
up
already
under
you
know,
councilor
of
fake
to
make
sure
that
that
was
being
taken
forward.
So
I
was
encouraged
by
that,
but
I
would
be
realistic
about
this.
N
We're
a
huge
City.
We've
got
large
numbers
of
private
rented,
as
you've
pointed
out,
and
we
we'd
like
to
have
more
ability
and
resource
to
be
able
to
tackle
that
we
do
what
we
can
within
the
resource.
That's
available
with
the
within
the
regulatory
framework
that's
available,
and
the
national
changes
that
have
recently
taken
place
are
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
V
R
G
Chair,
it's
associated
with
paragraph
nine
and
paragraph
30
a
and
it's
to
do
with
the
capacity
to
respond
to
the
strategy
which
is
being
set
out
here,
and
the
biggest
issue
seems
to
be
the
amount
of
people
in
the
industry
that
you
can
call
upon
to
do
the
Redemptive
work
in
properties.
So
it
says
that
there
is
something
that
you're
doing
in
terms
of
review
current
working
procedures
in
order
to
create
additional
capacity
through
improved
efficiency.
G
V
V
I
mentioned
in
the
paper
that
we've
already
created
the
damper
mold
team.
One
of
the
things
that
I'm
looking
at
is
to
increase
the
numbers
of
trade
surveyors
I've
got
within
that
team,
so
that
we
can
send
them
out
on
site
quickly
and
action
these
issues.
The
other
point
that
we're
trying
to
allude
to
in
the
report
that
it's
not
just
the
surveyors
going
out
and
highlighting
areas
of
damp
within
our
social
housing
stock,
and
it
is
housing
offices.
It
is
people
going
out
and
do
gas
servicing
it's
it's.
V
The
whole
team
is
bought
into
this
and
being
able
to
quickly
and
efficiently
identify
and
refer
those
those
issues
back
and
I.
Think
once
we're
at
that
that
stage
we'll
have
a
better
grip
on
the
problem
at
hand.
Just
in
terms
of
the
the
number
of
inquiries
that
come
into
this
service,
it's
less
than
three
percent
of
our
stock
at
this
moment
that
we're
dealing
with
that
have
got
issues
of
damp
and
mold.
We
are
aware
of
a
couple
of
property
types
that
are
more
likely
to
see
some
of
these
issues.
V
You'll
be
aware.
We've
in
the
last
few
months,
we
brought
a
paper
to
bar
to
get
permission
to
redevelop
some
of
our
stock
and
that's
something
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
over
the
next
year
as
well,
where
it's
clear
that
it's
not
financially
viable
to
continue
improving
these
properties,
a
potential
look
at
doing
something
different.
U
Yeah,
just
to
reassure
the
board
that
you
know
the
councilor
I
think
Carter
pointed
out
how
to
do
any
account.
The
housing
account
is
being
fed.
So
all
the
rents
we
collect
all
the
money
comes
in
actually
goes
back
invested
back
into.
We
have
got
a
very
ambitious
Capital
program,
85
million
for
next
year,
we're
putting
that,
like
Jed,
said
another
five
million
into
repairs
and
maintenance
to
deal
with
the
issue
of
dump
involved,
which
we
take
extremely
seriously.
U
We
also
I
think
encouraging,
through
the
social
media
through
newsletters,
we're
encouraging
all
our
tens
and
residents
to
report
the
cases
to
us
I
think
it
is
a
challenge
when
it
comes
to
private
sector,
because
until
people
come
to
us,
then
it's
very
difficult
to
kind
of
go
and
inspect
every
property.
But
we
are
again
encouraging,
try
and
get
the
information
out
there
that
if
there
is
a
problem
contact
us
because
our
property
will
go
out
and
rectify
it
as
soon
as
possible.
U
A
Q
Thank
you
leader,
so
this
is
the
Leeds
kogo,
open
market,
future
opportunities,
consultation
response
and
next
steps.
Members
will
remember:
we
brought
this
to
exact
board
in
December
and
where
we
agreed
to
go
out
to
consultation
for
the
potential
introduction
of
a
new
container
food
beverage
and
entertainment
offer
on
the
open
market
before
I.
Q
Q
Now,
since
2011.,
there
was
a
14
million
refurb
of
the
market
back
in
2016,
with
an
additional
million
invested
in
repairs
in
2019
1.4
million
of
rent
concessions
through
the
pandemic
and
we're
going
through
a
current
round
of
repairs
to
the
block
shops
for
10
million
pounds.
That's
on
top
of
support.
We've
done
bringing
new
events
into
the
market,
social
media
training
for
Traders
to
get
more
and
more
more
and
more
customers
in
and
actually
we
spoke
about
football
in
exact
board
early
today.
Q
Actually
post-pandemic
football
in
the
market
recovered
faster
than
football
in
the
city
center
I've
been
in
the
past
few
weeks
to
speak
to
a
lot
of
Traders
about
this,
and
it's
been
absolutely
heaving.
Lately,
it's
great
to
see.
Obviously,
we
we
welcomed
a
Royal
Highness
Princess
of
Wales
to
the
market.
A
couple
of
weeks
ago
she
was
launching
her
shaping
us
campaign
and
chose
leads
as
somewhere
as
we've
got.
Obviously
such
a
a
good
track
record
with
children's
services.
Q
As
I
said,
I've
been
out
to
speak
to
Traders,
my
myself
to
to,
as
there
is
varying
opinions
from
Traders
as
as
would
have
been
expected
and
with
with
any
consultation
with
the
market
and
and
to
reassure
them
that,
as
this
progresses,
some
of
the
details
still
hasn't
been
done,
and
that
will
be
done
in
full
consultation
with
them.
Things
like
the
exact
positioning
of
of
units
and
and
such
like,
I
think
just
generally
on
the
market.
Q
It
is
really
important
that
we
that
we
ensure
that
the
future
of
the
market
for
the
traditional
Market
customer
as
it
were,
while
also
recognizing
that
there
are
fewer,
often
so,
to
secure
the
long-term
future
of
the
market.
It
is
vital
we
bring
in
bring
in
more
people
more
trade,
new
customers
in
terms
of
occupancy
at
the
level
the
the
current
food
court
is
at
100
occupancy.
Q
The
indoor
market
I
think
is
at
around
94
occupancy
the
outdoor
Market
quite
a
bit
lower
at
about
40
percent
and
that's
reflected
across
the
country
and
outdoor
markets
everywhere.
So,
even
with
these
changes,
it
will
pull
the
outdoor
Traders
together
to
give
it
a
good
full
feeling,
and
we
will
still
be
one
of
the
largest
outdoor
markets
in
the
country.
E
A
Q
Q
It
is
probably
worth
highlighting
those
three
schools:
we've
talked
about
reducing
birth
rate
and
leads
over
recent
years
and
in
this
report
includes
the
reduction
of
patterns
of
three
primary
school
is
one
of
which
in
councilor
galton's
Ward
from
60
to
45,
and
those
are
all
majorities
in
favor
on
consultations
with
those
governing
body
sporting,
so
I'd,
of
course
like
to
thank
those
governing
bodies
for
for
working
with
us
as
we
adapt
to
the
changing
landscape
of
leads,
but
I
will
leave
it
there
for
introductory
remarks.
Thank.
A
You
any
comments:
nope,
okay,
I
shall
turn
to
the
recommendations
and
take
it
bodies
happy
with
those
that's
great.
So
we've
come
to
the
end
of
the
public
papers.
This
meeting
we've
got
one
pink
paper
undertake
so
I'll
thank
those
members
of
the
public
for
attending
and
see
if
leading,
that
you've
got
a
new
manager
during
the
shortbread
see
if
anybody's
been
appointed.
Thank
you.
Everybody.
