B
Thank
you
and
good
afternoon
everybody
and
welcome
to
the
april
meeting
of
the
executive
board,
which
is
the
last
one
I
believe
will
be
holding
in
this
format.
So
thank
you
to
everybody
who
is
watching
this
meeting
who's,
not
part
of
the
meeting
and
we'll
be
starting
the
agenda
now.
So
I'm
going
to
item
one
to
see
if
there
are
any
appeals
against
refusal
of
inspection
of
documents.
A
Thank
you,
chair
appeals
to
confirm
no
appeals
against
refusal
of
inspection
of
documents
have
been
received
for
today's
meeting.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
chair
with
your
agreement.
Since
the
publication
of
the
agenda
board,
members
have
been
provided
with
a
reporting
appendices
entitled
update
on
the
coronavirus
pandemic
response
and
recovery
plan
for
consideration
as
agenda
item
10,
and
also
a
supplementary
appendix
4
to
item
six,
which
is
the
leads
cover
19
vaccine
health
inequalities
plan
for
consideration.
As
part
of
that
agenda
item.
B
I
don't
see
any
indications
item
five.
Are
we
all
happy
to
confirm
the
minutes
of
the
meeting
held
on
the
17th
of
march?
B
I'm
going
to
take
it
everybody's
happy
with
those?
Thank
you
so
we're
on
to
the
first
item
on
the
agenda,
which
is
the
health
and
well-being
portfolio.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
council
salma
arif
to
introduce
this
paper.
Please.
C
C
The
heart
of
the
plan
is
really
the
principle
that
no
one
is
left
behind.
The
approach
is
not
about
the
numbers
of
people
vaccinated.
It's
about
ensuring
that
we
reach
these
those
most
at
risk
of
severe
illness
and
death
from
corvid,
and
to
ensure
that
the
vaccine
has
the
greatest
impact.
Public
health
has
been
working
in
partnership
with
primary
care
networks
from
the
most
deprived
areas
of
the
city
to
develop
a
bespoke
health
inequalities
plans
to
respond
to
community
needs.
C
This
work
is
being
driven
by
local
insight,
working
with
communities
and
ensuring
that
we
are
listening
to
what
people
are
telling
us.
This
has
resulted
in
some
some
good
practice.
Examples
of
pcn
led
targeted
work
to
to
develop
community
outreach,
offer
to
increase
vaccination
uptake.
Just
some
examples
that
I
want
to
to
pick
out
are
the
dropping
clinics
in
bilal
center
and
infinity
center,
supported
by
pcn
staff
and
and
community
leaders.
I
was
there
this
morning.
C
The
clinics
are
seeing
numbers
increasing
on,
on
literally
a
weekly
basis,
I've
seen
from
the
very
beginning
and
how
in
confidence
within
these
communities
has
grown
and
people
are
walking
in
and
getting
the
job
key.
I
think
the
key
element
from
my
perspective
really
an
observation
is
that
it
is
a
trusted
community
center,
it's
in
the
heart
of
the
community,
so
that's
that's
crucial.
C
I'm
also
pleasing
from
the
exec
board
that
we
have
vaccinated
50
of
our
adult
population,
a
significant
milestone
for
the
city
again,
a
testament
to
our
city
and
the
efforts
of
every
single
individual
and
be
it
from
local
volunteers,
the
security
guards
any
chess,
local
pcn
council
officers,
local
partners
and
community
leaders
and,
of
course,
our
residents
across
the
city.
Thank.
B
You
thank
you
and
that's
great
news
about
the
vaccination
numbers
now.
I've
been
to
with
council
harlan
to
see
one
of
our
local
vaccination
centers
and
also
to
visit
ellen
dallin
road
facility,
and
it's
really
impressive.
The
way
everybody
in
the
health
service,
volunteers
and
other
agencies
are
all
working
together
to
make
this
happen,
and
I
look
forward
to
when
under
45
the
calls
forward.
I
look
forward
to
having
the
vaccine
myself.
D
Yes,
thank
you
by
and
large
welcome
the
paper.
It's
very
positive.
I
want
to
just
mention
one
particular
area,
and
that
is
elderly
members
of
bme
communities
who
are
still
taking
up
the
vaccine
to
a
lesser
degree
than
people
of
the
same
age
in
the
white
community,
but
but
the
younger
generations
in
the
pa.
Me
communities
are
beginning
to
take
up
the
vaccines.
D
The
need
to
have
the
vaccine,
because
it
seems
to
me,
if
there's
some
skepticism
about
authority,
then
to
get
younger
members
of
the
community
different
communities
who
have
had
the
vaccine
to
persuade
older
relatives
who
are
probably
more
vulnerable
and
who
will
probably,
if
they
resist
getting
the
vaccine,
not
only
get
curvied
themselves
but
pass
it
to
other
people.
I
think
I'd
like
to
know
what
especially
we're
doing
in
that
respect.
Please.
B
C
C
It
is
certainly
something
that
was
recognized
and
I
think
originally
there
was
the
hesitancy,
but
what
we're
seeing
is
with
the
provision
of
of
bilal
center
now
being
extended,
with
the
provision
of
infancy
center
there
and
local
community
leaders
playing
a
role
and
we've
got
the
local,
imams
and
and
and
other
leaders
that
are
encouraging
the
vaccination
I
am
seeing
or
and
what
I'm
anecdotally
hearing
there
is
a
shift
that
is
happening
and
there's
various
different
reasons
why
people
were
originally
hesitant.
C
But
actually,
if
you
look
at
the
numbers,
the
numbers
have
started
to
narrow
down.
I
think,
from
our
perspective
is
just
to
keep
up
with
that
work,
and,
and
the
key
thing
is,
it
needs
to
be
accessible
and
walking
into
the
centers.
It's
also
important
that
we've
got
people
that
are
bilingual
as
well.
That
can
have
conversation,
so
we
might
have
some
people
that
are
not
originally
sure
about
getting
the
vaccination,
who
can
walk
and
get
the
information
that
they
need,
and
but
I
do,
I
think,
you're
you're
right
in
identifying.
C
E
Thank
you,
councillor,
arief
and
thanks
councillor
carter,
for
the
question
which
I
do
agree
is
a
really
important
one.
I
think
that
this
is
something
in
terms
of
uptake
of
vaccinations
with
particular
commute
communities
that
obviously
has
been
heightened
through
covid,
but
has
been
the
same
for
the
vaccinations.
So,
for
example,
the
flu
flew
up
taking
key
groups
is
a
a
perennial
challenge
for
us.
E
So
in
terms
of
the
scale
of
this
being
new
with
covid,
it
is
absolutely
but
the
the
the
the
the
issue
is
not
new,
so
that
this
will
need
to
be
an
ongoing
long-term
challenge.
For
us.
It's
not.
This
is
not
a
quick
fix
over
the
next
few
months.
We'll
need
to
continue
to
build
in
this
issue
into
our
longer
term
approach,
not
just
for
covid
and
whatever
boost
has
come
in
the
autumn,
but
also
for
flu
and
other
vaccinations
going
forward.
E
I
think
specifically
to
add
to
what
council
iris
already
said.
Absolutely
it's
about
understanding
the
different
reasons
why
people
are
less
confident
to
come
forward.
Some
people
just
want
to
wait
and
see,
and
and
wait
for
other
family
members
to
have
it
before.
They're
convinced
the
that
we're
doing
some
very
specific
work
with
gp
practices
around
a
better
conversations
program,
so
they
don't
just
offer
the
vaccine
once
and
then,
if
it's
not
uptaken,
there's
no
follow-up,
but
about
about
having
high
quality
conversations
to
understand
and
answer
people's
questions
properly.
E
So
there's
some
there's
some
training
and
support
we're
doing
for
gp
practices
to
have
those
better
conversations
with
people
who
are
initially
hesitant.
So
that's
one
key
area
that
we'll
continue
as
a
council
to
do.
I
think
that
the
next,
what
one
of
the
other
strands
of
work
is
around
the
recruitment
of
community
champions
so
as
well
as
family
members,
and
we
have
got
a
community
champions
programme
for
other
trusted
people
within
communities
to
talk
with
people
from
their
own
communities.
E
So
that's
a
program
we've
set
up
and
we'll
continue
alongside
the
roving
provision,
etc.
So
and
not
to
say
it's
simple
and
easy
and
short
term,
but
we
will
continue
to
to
do
all
of
those
things
councilor
carton.
But
thank
you
for
the
question.
B
Thank
you
for
those
responses,
and
certainly
I
think
we
all
agree
the
importance
of
making
sure
that,
as
a
vaccine
is
rolled
out,
nobody's
left
behind
in
the
programme
so
that
we
know
the
virus
is
going
to
be
around
for
a
while,
and
we
don't
want
people
to
be
missing
out
and
affected
by
illness
in
the
months
and
and
years
ahead.
F
F
Well,
I'm
not
aware
of
being
involved
in
that
conversation,
and
I
just
wanted
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about
that,
so
that
the
district
centers
which
are
mentioned
in
there
can
also
be
incorporated
in
it,
because
we
need
to
build
back
better
after
covid
and
obviously
we
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
is
involved
as
possible
and
then
on
the
7.7
paragraph.
It
talks
about
a
third
of
a
million
quid
being
given
to
the
council
from
the
arts
council
for
cultural
recovery.
B
B
One
thank
you
you're
very
kind,
councillor
dalton.
Do
you
have
any
questions
on
the
health
inequalities
paper?
No
a
job
well
done!
Thank
you.
Okay,
thank
you.
If
nobody
else
has
any
questions
on
this
paper,
I'm
turning
to
the
recommendations,
and
is
everybody
happy
to
approve
the
recommendations,
I'm
going
to
take
it
that
everybody
is
and
we
will
now
move
on
to
counselor,
helen
hayden's
papers
and
item
seven,
please
and
the
levelling
up
fund.
G
Thank
you,
councillor
lewis,
so
this
is
they're
responding
to
the
levering
up
fund,
which
many
of
you
will
have
remembered.
It's
only
last
month
that
in
march
and
the
march
budget,
the
government
announced
the
release
of
several
funds
to
support
economic
growth
and
social
transition.
Following
the
country's
exit
from
the
european
union.
G
The
leveling
up
fund
is
to
invest
in
infrastructure
that
improves
everyday
life
across
the
uk,
including
regenerating
town
centres
and
high
streets,
upgrading
local
transports
and
in
transport
and
investing
in
cultural
and
heritage
assets.
G
The
report
sets
out
this
report
if
it
sets
out
proposals
for
how
the
council
will
respond
to
the
government's
leveling
up
fund,
there's
a
very
tight
time
frame,
but
there
is
potentially
up
to
160
million
pounds
available
to
the
city
through
the
leveling
up
fund,
subject
to
success
through
the
competitive
bidding
process
and
with
revenue
being
made
available
to
the
council
for
resources
to
support
developing
feeds
for
future
rounds
of
the
lfu
l.
G
U
f,
sorry,
which
sounds
a
bit
like
leeds
united,
so
I'll,
keep
saying,
leveling
up
exact
so
here
today
to
asks
who
support
the
approach
to
the
leveling
up
fund
and
and
agree
to
consider
proposals
in
the
future
before
the
deadline
prior
to
the
deadline
of
18th
of
june
2021,
I
mean
it's,
it's
a
very
tight
deadline,
so
this
is
a
paper
that
kind
of
that
sets
out
our
proposals
to
how
we
are
going
to
bid
then,
on
that
june
18th
deadline.
Thank
you,
leader,.
B
Thank
you,
councillor,
hayden
and
and
we'll
come
into
the
recommendations
later,
but
we
will,
as
a
timetable,
falls
between
this
exec
board
and
elected
board
meeting.
We
will
come
back
together
to
agree
our
final
bits.
I
can
see
council
carter
indicating
to
speak.
Please.
D
Yes,
thank
you
obviously
welcome
the
opportunity
to
bid
for
substantial
amounts
of
money
from
the
government
one
or
two
issues.
It
is
a
tight
time
scale.
I
I
accept
that,
but
nevertheless
it
has
to
be
realized
and
there's
a
lot
at
stake.
D
I'm
very
concerned
that
there
may
be
undue
haste
to
pull
out
plans
that
officers
have
had
under
wraps
for
years
and
lobbed
them
in.
I
think
it
is
worth
reminding
everybody
that
these
schemes
will
need
ward,
member
and
member
of
parliament
support
and,
whilst
I
agree
with
the
extra
indeed,
it's
essential
the
extra
exec
board
meeting
to
deal
with
the
proposals.
D
What
discussions
are
being
proposed
with
ward
members
of
all
parties
and
with
members
of
parliament,
of
both
my
party
and
yours,
because
there
doesn't
seem
to
be
any
suggestions
in
here
of
that
and
without
the
support
we
are
going
to
be
doomed
to
failure,
which
would
be
a
tragedy.
G
I
can
assure
you
that
we
will
be
looking
to
speak
with
all
the
mps
of
the,
in
fact,
in
terms
of
members
of
parliament,
if
you,
if
we,
if
we
consider
the
the
government's
proposals
and
how
we
fit
the
criteria,
then
it
needs
to
be
each
member
of
parliament
needs
to
be
involved
in
those
discussions
and
it
needs
to
be
one
now.
We
weren't
sure
when
it
first
came
out,
whether
it
be
one
project
per
ward,
actually
in
that
in
that
constituency.
G
Sorry
that
isn't
the
case,
but
there
will
be
seven
and
we
are
working
with
wakefield
as
well,
because
one
of
the
constituencies
is
not
just
a
lease
constituency.
It's
a
weight
field
constituency.
So
those
conversations
are
already
taking
place
as
award
members.
Then
it
would
be
I'm
to
be,
if
I'm
perfectly
honest
in
terms
of
the
time
scales
in
terms
of
getting
each
member
award.
Member
involvement
in
that
would
be
very,
very
difficult.
G
Sorry
and
it
would
be
very,
very
difficult,
and
but
definitely
I
would
always
seek
to
consult
with
everyone
as
to
what's
happening
on,
but
in
terms
of
the
members
of
parliament.
It's
already
happening
in
terms
of
speaking
to
wakefield
in
terms
of
looking
at
the
difference
constituency
and
then,
when
we
come
up,
come
up
with
proposals,
I'm
very
keen
not
to
just
have
and
because
of
the
time
frame
there
will
be.
G
I
quite
understand
your
concern
that
council
carter,
that
there
will
be
what
we
might
refer
to
shovel
ready
project
that
we
just
propose
to
the
government
to
to
fund.
G
However,
this
is
really
quite
a
broader
range
than
that,
especially
with
the
cultural
and
heritage
supports
with
that,
and
I'm
really
keen
to
go
out
to
as
many
people
as
possible
in
terms
of
elected
members
to
see
what
is
in
there
in
different
parts
of
the
city
and
and
make
sure
and
really
make
sure
that
we
try
and
get
equity
across
the
city
coming
from
you
know,
and
now
kind
of
a
ward
that
spans
both
the
inner
and
the
outer
parts
of
the
of
the
city.
G
I'm
really
keen
that
it's
equitable
across
across
the
city
and
and
that
there's
a
range
of
projects,
it's
not
just
transport
kind
of
stroke,
highways
ones
as
well.
I
hope
that
helps.
D
I
would
it
council
haydn
it's
essential
that
this
consultation
takes
place
as
a
matter
of
urgency
and
it's
not
the
best
time
in
the
world
because
local
elections,
as
we
all
are
aware,
but
it
is
essential
that
these
discussions
take
place
because,
as
I've
said
before,
if
ward
members
find
things
forced
it
off
on
them
that
they
have
little
support
for,
then
they
will
object.
And
those
objections
will
be
noted
by
the
government
and
nobody
wants
to
see
lead
city
council
fail
in
getting
its
share
of
this
money.
D
B
Will
thorpe
is
coming?
I
think
I
would
agree
with
you
about
the
importance
about
getting
everybody
involved,
putting
these
bids
together,
as
potentially
a
huge
amount
of
money
available,
and
we
don't
want
to
give
the
government
reasons
not
to
grant
it
to
us.
I
mean
likewise,
as
I
think
everybody
who's
spoken
has
accepted.
B
The
timetables
are
incredibly
short
on
this
and
we
do
want
to
make
sure.
Like
I
said
by
the
time
we
come
to
executive
board
to
discuss
this.
We
do
have
a
a
good
set
of
proposals
and
one
that
everybody
is
engaged
in.
I
can
see.
Martin
farrington
you've
got
your
hand
up
you'd
like
to
come
in.
Please
yeah.
I
Yeah,
thank
you
councillor,
so
I
mean,
I
think,
it's
building
on
what
what
you
were
saying
there
and
you
know
I
mean
I
would
just
agree
with
you
councillor
carter,
that
yes,
the
time's
a
time
that
the
warden
member
consultation
has
to
take
place,
and
we
recognize
that.
I
think
I
think
just
to
explain
in
the
paper.
I
We
make
a
positive
recommendation
in
terms
of
liaising
and
consulting
with
mps,
because,
unusually
in
bidding
realms,
that's
how
the
the
leveling
up
fund
has
has
sort
of
been
put
together.
So
I
think
it's
probably
a
case
of
not
that
we're
not
going
to
consult
with
board
members
because
we
will,
but
what
we
are
going
to
do
also
in
response
to
the
specific
requirements
of
the
leveling
up
fund
is
engage
as
required
with
the
mps.
That
is
a
challenge,
but
it's
a
challenge
that
was
going
to
have
to
rise
to
councillor
carter.
B
That's
helped.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Martin.
Thank
you,
councillor
carter.
I
want
to
bring
tommen
at
this
point.
Council
golden
then
I'll,
come
come
to
you
please
so
tom.
Would
you
like
to
come
in.
J
Yeah
just
to
reinforce,
I
think
what
council
hadn't
said.
I
think
the
challenge
that
we've
got
is
that
we
there's
there's
a
need
for
a
sequencing
here
and,
as
has
been
said,
it's
it's
a
sort
of
the
shovel
ready
element
of
it.
In
inverted.
Commas
is
important,
so
the
what
we
can't
do
is
is
consult
in
that
short
period.
Every
word,
member
about
every
single
project
that
might
end
up
in
this
fund
over
a
three
year
period.
J
What
we
can
do
is
make
sure
that
we
we
do
that
where
there
are
projects
that
may
move
forward
in
the
first
tranche
and
that's
where
we
need
to
work
cross-party
and
work
to
get
our
tactics
right
so
that
we've
got
mps
behind
the
bids.
We've
got
ward
members
behind
the
bids
and
we
put
something
forward
that
that
works
for
everybody.
So
but
it
is
that
sequencing
point
I
think,
which
absolutely
rightly
said
we
we
won't
be
able
to
do
all
of
this
straight
away.
That's
that's
the
issue.
B
F
Well,
it's
it's.
The
tensions
that
have
all
been
expressed
by
everybody
here
are
understandable,
because
it
feels
like
we're
going
back
to
the
bad
old
days
of
the
government
running
municipal
beauty
contests
for
local
authorities
to
bid
in
to
find
out
what
scheme
looks
best
to
the
minister
in
charge
at
the
time
and
the
problem
with
those
schemes.
Is
that
a
lot
of
the
time
they
were
finite
and
those
at
the
front
of
the
queue
got
a
good
bite
at
the
money?
F
And
then
eventually,
it
ran
out
before
those
at
the
back
of
the
queue
could
have
access
to
it,
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
should
be
enabled
through
the
local
process,
if
it
can't
be
guaranteed
through
the
national
one,
is
that
the
leveling
up
fund
does
exactly
that
and
that
each
constituency
in
the
city
has
equal
access
to
the
money.
F
They
might
not
all
be
able
to
get
it
in
the
first
round,
but
we
should
be
planning
going
forward
to
ensure
that
every
constituency
has
some
curation
of
what
could
be
achieved
for
their
area.
F
And
I
think
we
also
need
to
have
a
look
at
how
our
communities
section
is
organized,
because
I
think
there
needs
to
be
a
lot
more
forward
planning
going
forward
in
terms
of
transport
planning
for
neighborhoods
for
town
center
development
in
neighborhoods,
so
that
each
area
has
at
least
an
outlying
plan
that
can
then
be
built
upon
when
these
pots
of
money
appear
from
the
government
and
have
to
be
responded
to
in
very
short
time
scales.
F
Because
it's
only
through
that
pre-preparedness
that
we'll
be
able
to
ensure
that
we
can
get
every
part
of
the
city
getting
some
benefit.
From
schemes
like
these
and-
and
I
would
really
like
to
see
a
paper
come
forward
where
that
can
be
achieved,
because
that
would
be
a
really
vital
link
between
the
work
which
is
done
in
martin
farrington's
development
department
and
what
hopes
to
be
achieved
on
a
social
equality
level.
From
this
kind
of
societal
investment.
B
I
It
was
just
to
provide
some
context
to
councillor
dalton's
question
about
the
amount
per
constituency
or
local
authority,
whilst
it's
not
for
eliteity
council
to
determine
how
much
each
constituency
receives
the.
If
you
just
look
at
the
public
figures
and
the
maths
there's
4.8
billion
of
funding
available,
if
one
were
to
to
divide
that
equally
across
every
parliamentary
constituency,
that
would
equal
7.3
million
pounds
per
constituency.
I
If
you
took
a
different
view
and
said,
how
does
that
equate
to
an
equal
distribution
across
the
123
priority?
One
local
authorities
of
what
of
which
leads
is
one
that
would
equate
to
39
million
pounds.
So
how
that
then
plays
out
in
terms
of
different
bids
is
is
a
matter
for
government,
but
just
on
the
basis
of
the
maths,
as
they
present
themselves
that
that's
how
they
average
out
councillors.
J
Thank
you
leader.
I
was
just
going
to
make
the
point
that,
of
course,
this
isn't
the
only
funding
stream
that
we
may
benefit
from
as
a
city
for
the
next
few
years,
and
this
is
in
some
ways
alongside
the
the
towns
fund,
where
we've
been
successful
in
marley,
and
we
have
the
shared
prosperity
fund,
which
is
the
sort
of
other
element.
J
That's
what
you
might
call
the
repatriated
european
funding,
where
I
think
that's
where
the
piece
of
work
we've
got
to
do,
can
not
just
hit
this
one
funding
stream,
but
make
sure
that
we're
within
all
of
them
and
that
the
the
whole
city
benefits
from
that.
And
that
may
be.
When
martin
comes
to
answer
council
golden's
question
originally
about
the
paper
to
come.
That
might
be
where
we
might
be
able
to
help
with
the
the
work
that's
going
on.
Looking
at
the
local
and
district
centers
district
centers
and
the
city
centre,
work.
B
Thank
you
thank
you
tom,
and,
I
think
there's
both
in
terms
of
the
short
term
objectives
of
getting
as
many
bids
in
which
will
hopefully
be
as
successful,
and
I
I
do
agree
with
council
golden
that
perhaps
some
longer
term.
The
government
should
allow
us
a
longer-term
approach
to
that,
but
we
are
where
we
are
and
having
taking
this
forward,
I
think,
is
taking
it
forward.
We
do
need
to
get
that
approach
to
recognize
just
the
nature
of
our
district.
B
No
I'm
going
to
okay,
I'm
going
to
turn
to
the
recommendations
and
I'll.
I
will
take
it
that
everybody
is
happy
with
the
recommendations
and
we'll
move
on
to
your
next
paper.
Please
counselor
hayden
item8.
G
Thank
you
very
much,
so
this
is
really
exciting
paper
and
it's
a
proposed
greater
green
projects,
and
this
is
a
progress
update.
G
So
this
is
an
update
on
the
progress
of
the
greater
green
infrastructure
projects
following
the
successful
bid
by
later
council
to
the
government's
getting
building
fund,
and
we
really
welcome
these.
This
investment
by
the
government-
and
this
was
we
were
awarded
this
in
september
2020
and
subsequent
full
full
business
case
approval
at
wika
investment
committee
in
february
of
this
year.
G
So
it's
notably
around
the
the
meadow
lane
green
space,
sovereign
street
bridge
and
crown
point
road
calming
and
greening.
G
So
it's
really
exciting
projects
of
doing
exactly
what
it
says
on
the
tin
of
turning
the
city
center
and
in
particular,
quite
traditionally
quite
industrial
and
parts
of
the
city
centre
into
this
green
space,
and
hopefully,
meadow
lane
will,
in
the
future,
live
up
to
its
to
its
name.
G
There
was,
there
must
have
been
a
meadow
there
at
some
point
and
for
it
to
be
called
meadow
lane,
and
it
will
unlock
that
kind
of
the
area
of
the
city
to
more
people
living
there
to
enjoying
green
space
to
the
economic
growth
in
that
part
of
the
city
as
well.
So
I
present
this
paper
to
the
the
board
and
us
to
note
the
progress
approve
and
the
design
proposals
to
allow
for
progression
of
the
screen
at
the
next
phase
of
the
detailed
and
technical
design.
Thank
you.
D
D
D
Whether
these
designs
have
taken
into
account
the
effect
of
covid
on
the
leads
economy,
which
has
been
drastic,
and
I
wouldn't
like
to
think
that
we
are
taking
steps
now
in
haste
that
will
come
back
to
bite
us
later
in
terms
of
the
local
economy,
bouncing
back
the
schemes
in
general
terms,
I'm
supportive
of.
But
I
would
like
answers
to
those
two
questions.
D
One
are:
they
are
the
officers
confident
they
have
taken
into
account,
the
effects
of
and
travel
patterns,
etc
and
two,
whether
we
are
in
control
of
these
initiatives
or
whether
west
yorkshire,
in
whatever
guys,
will
seek
to
extend
its
influence
or
even
alter
things.
B
I
Yeah,
thank
you
chair
in
terms
of
the
covered
question.
First
councilor
carter,
and
I
think
you
you'll
recognize
this-
that
from
the
2008
city
center
conference,
it
was
highlighted
about
the
lack
of
green
space
to
the
south
of
the
city
and
that
the
council
has
therefore
had
a
long-term
ambition
that
to
to
address
that
and
and
as
the
cities
move
forward,
you'll,
be
aware
that
in
the
south
bank,
it's
gone
from
a
position
where
there
were
no
educational
institutions.
I
A
few
years
ago
to
having
the
college
of
building
the
city
center
college.
The
ruth
gorse
academy
we've
seen
the
closure
of
the
carlsberg
site
and
the
aspirations
for
the
city
centre
park
to
really
take
shape.
So
in
terms
of
a
fundamental
principle
of
how
the
south
bank
will
relate
to
the
north
bank
of
the
city
centre
that
that
transition,
particularly
from
the
rail
station
and
making
it
a
walkable
transition
in
a
way
that
one
would
expect
in
a
city
centre
and
promote
cycling
and
walking.
I
In
particular.
I
think
those
in
in
a
sort
of
a
coveted
sense
still
stand
true
and
some
might
argue
even
more
true
as
a
consequence,
and
so
I
I'm
confident
that
the
principles
of
the
proposal
are
still
the
right
one.
If,
if
that
helps
to
answer
in
terms
of
the
west
yorkshire
combined
authority,
the
the
west
georgia
combined
authority
does
administrate
the
funds
that
were
provided
by
government.
They
distribute
that
through
their
appraisal
process,
which,
which
is
a
measure
that
they
have
to
do,
these
bids
have
gone
through.
I
Those
have
paid
these
appraisal
processes,
either
as
outline
bids
and
full
business
cases
or
outline
bids
with
the
full
business
cases
to
take
place.
I
think
in
june.
I
think
I
think,
against
that
that
they're
well
down
the
track
in
terms
of
delivery.
So
I
I
don't
foresee
any
issue
in
terms
of
the
combined
authority
and
the
mayoral
authority
in
the
summer.
I
Changing
that
position
I
mean
I
can't
I
can't
say
whether
somebody
wouldn't,
but
I
think
it
would
be
unusual
for
that
to
be
the
case,
particularly
where
the
funding
as
we've
got,
has
to
sort
of
be
expended
in
a
short
period
of
time,
and
hence
the
reason
for
bringing
it
to
your
attention.
Now.
D
I
Well,
I'm
not
able
to
answer
the
details
of
that
counselor
carter.
What
I
would
say
is
as
a
hypothetical
scenario
I
would
say
it
is
a
very
minimal
risk
and
one
that
I
think
we
would
be
able
to
manage
effectively
so
that
we
suitably
mitigate
it,
given
that
these
are
long-standing
ambitions
that
the
council
and
the
city
is
now
well
placed
to
be
able
to
deliver
and
achieve
the
long-term
legacy
that
they
afford.
G
It
was
actually
going
back
to
the
covered
point
if
I'm,
if
I
may,
if
that's
all
right,
because
I
understand
council
carter
was
talking
about
kind
of
the
the
recovery
from
covered
and
especially
for
economic
terms.
But
I
think
this
is
just
the
right
timing
for
that
expansion
of
green
space
in
the
south
of
the
city
south
of
the
city
center,
because,
as
we
all
I'm
sure,
everybody
on
this
call
has
depended
on
our
green
space
for
the
last
year.
G
I'm
we're
incredibly
lucky
in
in
my
world
of
temple
newton
and
with
our
green
spaces,
and
I
know
that
I
myself
and
my
children
and
all
all
our
community
depended
heavily
on
that.
So
in
order
that
it
should
anything-
and
you
know
have
haven't
been
that
it
does.
G
But
anything
like
this
happen
in
the
future,
then
that
the
people
living
in
around
the
south
of
the
the
river
there
will
have
a
superb
green
space
to
enjoy
so
that
they
can
safely
be
outside
and
not
have
to
be
cooped
up
inside
or
on
major
roads,
etc.
So
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
in
thank.
B
G
B
Counselor
dalton,
thank
you
again
for
being
patient.
Would
you
like
to
come
in
please.
F
Chair,
it
was
really
to
to
follow
up.
The
point
was
made
in
the
last
paper
as
well,
in
that
this
I,
as
I
remember,
was
another
funding
stream,
which
was
very
short
notice,
and
it
wanted
to
have
shovel
ready
schemes
that
the
council
could
have
the
money
associated
with
oh
andra
carter's
shaking
his
head.
B
B
F
Okay
with
technology-
well,
I
just
noticed-
I
just
noticed
chair
that
in
the
introduction
in
the
main
issues,
it
mentioned
the
our
spaces
strategy,
the
south
bank
regeneration
framework,
the
supplementary
planning
document,
lee's
public
transport
infrastructure
program.
So
there
was
a
lot
of
planning
documents
that
could
be
referred
to
to
make
our
case
to
get
our
investment
from
this
plan.
F
But
I
would
like
to
see
a
shift
now
from
the
council
to
recognize
that
some
of
this
very
professional
planning
work,
which
is
being
which
has
been
done
historically
in
the
city
centre,
should
now
be
taken
out
to
some
of
our
communities.
So
they
can
benefit
from
this
kind
of
focus,
and
hopefully
some
of
this
short-term
investment.
That
does
come
quite
often
now
from
the
government.
B
Thank
you,
council
golden,
obviously
people
in
our
part,
the
city
have
benefited
from
this
in
aidan's
nature
reserve,
which
is
a
a
very
professionally
planned
project.
That's
been
underway
and
delivered
over
a
number
of
years
by
the
council.
I
can
see
council
carter
would
like
to
come
in,
so
I'm
going
to
invite
council
carter
to
speak.
Please.
D
Thank
you
yeah
just
for
counseling
councillor
cotton's
benefit,
you
may
not
quite
remember,
but
the
green
space
suggestions
for
the
south
of
the
city
originated
in
the
administration,
which
I
led
along
with
one
of
his
colleagues
and
in
fact,
it's
a
little
smaller
now
than
we
first
suggested.
D
Secondly,
their
money
has
got
already
gone
through
at
the
west
yorkshire
combined
authority,
on
which
he
serves.
I
am
correct
on
numerous
occasions
to
reach
this
stage
so
to
imply
that
it
has
suddenly
dropped
from
the
sky
with
no
notice.
It's
wholly
incorrect.
B
F
B
B
Take
it
no,
so
I'm
moving
to
the
recommendations
and
I
haven't-
I
assume,
everybody's
supportive.
B
That's
great!
Thank
you!
So
we're
gonna
move
on
to
your
final
paper.
Please
counselor
hayden
item
nine.
G
I
do
apologize
for
coming.
It's
me
again,
so
this
is
the
city
center
transformation
and
the
enabling
schemes
around
city
square
and
out
to
the
gyratory,
and
so
this
is
to
facilitate
the
closure
of
city
square
to
through
traffic,
enabled
by
re-routing
the
loop
road
and
and
what
what
is
invisioned
and
it's
really
exciting.
Again.
Is
you
know,
creation
of
this
world-class,
a
world-class
public
space
and
a
rival
gateway
at
the
city
center?
G
So,
if
you
can
imagine
you
know
the
beautiful
queen's
hotel
and
then
come
around
to
the
design
triumph,
that
is
the
majestic,
which
it
just
looks
beautiful
around
to
the
old
post
office
and
imagine
without
those
four
lanes
of
traffic
that
we
all
have
to
negotiate
in
front
of
the
queen's
hotel.
It
would
just
be
a
superb.
G
It
is
already
beautiful,
but
it
will
just
be
a
world-class
and
kind
of
gateway
to
the
city
center
arriving
on
the
train,
or
you
know
and
coming
in
and
and
there
is
leads
in
all
its
glory
laid
out
in
front
of
you.
So
this
is
the
outline
highway
design
concept
for
the
closure
of
city
square
and
its
subsequent
implement
implementation
in
readiness
for
the
agriculture
and
approval
of
the
preliminary
design
and
implementation
of
I'm
the
gyratory
as
presented
and,
and
it
obviously
subject
to
any
planning
conditions
and
details.
G
And
I
just
want
to
add
in
there-
and
it's
very
important
part
of
this
paper
about
the
army
directory
and
the
improvements
there
not
only
to
try
to
enable
city
square,
but
also
to
enable
the
people
in
the
west
of
the
city
and
workly
lower
worldly
to
have
that
connectivity
in
kirksville
and
al
over
and
those
areas
around
there
to
have
that
connectivity
and
to
the
city
center
to
enable
all
different
modes
of
transport
to
to
be
able
to
access
the
city
centre.
So
I'll
leave
it
there.
Council
lewis,
thank
you.
B
F
Thanks
chair
good
thing:
when
people
look
at
city
centre
investment
and
complain
about
it
not
happening
in
their
area,
one
of
the
things
that
sometimes
irks
is
when
some
of
the
money
that
gets
spent
doesn't
actually
work.
Some
of
these
images
have
got
some
lovely
fountains
in
them,
and
this
city
has
not
got
a
really
good
record
on
the
delivery
of
water
features
in
public
spaces.
F
So
can
I
have
some
assurance
that
some
extra
due
diligence
has
happened
in
the
area
to
ensure
that
that
which
is
pictured
can
actually
be
delivered
and
kept
over
the
long
term
and
they're
on
a
more
serious
point
on
the
alma
gyratory,
it's
a
very
difficult
junction
to
actually
make
livable
for
motorists,
let
alone
try
and
involve
other
aspects
of
active
travel
as
well.
F
One
of
the
things
that's
become
apparent
more
recently
with
is
the
issue
around
women
and
how
they
feel
safe
in
the
public
realm
and
how
we
can
respond
to
make
sure
that
that
issue
is
taken
into
consideration
when
we're
making
planning
decisions
and,
as
there's
a
lot
of
active
travel
around
here,
but
it's
also
not
a
very
amenable
environment.
F
In
terms
of
lighting
et
cetera,
have
we
taken
that
into
consideration
in
the
design
of
the
scheme?
Thanks
chair.
G
Oh,
thank
you
in
terms
of
the
technical
planning
I
mean
councillor,
carlill
and
officers
are
doing
incredible,
work
around
active
travel
and
making
it
safe
and
as
for
the
technical,
I'll
I'll
leave
that
to
officers
to
explain
what's
going
in,
but
it
is
all
about
that
connectivity
armageddon
is
a
very
inhospitable
environment,
like
you
say,
even
if
you're
in
a
car,
in
fact,
I
found
it
quite
scary
at
times,
but
and
it
any
other.
This
will
make
huge
improvements.
G
It
it's
not
going
to
be
anything
other
than
it
is
in
the
end,
but
it
will
be
a
hugely
improved
on
on
what
it
is
now
and
we
are
always
taking
into
account
our
active
travel
in
kind
of
all
in
the
various
schemes
around
the
city
center
and
connectivity
to
the
outer
areas
as
well
as
for
the
water
fountains.
Yes,
it's
very
frustrating.
G
Those
are
only
indicative
drawings
though,
and
I
would
love
to
have
fountains
working
and
and
but
there
is
going
to
be
a
design
competition.
So
those
are
just
indicative
drawings
of
what
it
possibly
could
look
like.
We
will
have,
there
is
going
to
be
a
design
competition
and
then
it
will
be
chosen
as
to
which
design
and
it
may
or
may
not
involve
fountains.
B
Thank
you,
council,
hayden,
very
practical.
There
does
anybody
else
want
to
come
in
on
this
item?
I
can
see
gary's
got
his
hand
up
and
then
I'll
come
to
council
car
to
please
so
gary
would
like
to
come
in.
K
Thank
you
leader.
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
what
councillor
hayden
has
just
said,
then
about
the
fountains,
we're
just
as
officers
we're
just
doing
some
interviews
at
the
present
time
for
some
potential
designers
for
city
square.
So
it's
very
much.
K
The
images
that
are
attached
to
the
report
are
indicative
and,
and
the
some
of
the
designs
that
are
coming
forward
do
include
water
features,
and
certainly
we
will
make
it
very
clear
that
if
they
do
come
forward
ultimately
that
adequate
revenue
is
there
to
support
them
in
in
the
long
run.
So
certainly
that's
the
case
on
that,
one
in
terms
of
army,
gyratory,
cyclist
and
walking.
Absolutely
I've
been
on
site
there,
many
times
recently
to
look
at
this
scheme.
It's
very
inhospitable.
K
As
being
said,
it's
very
unpleasant,
but
people
do
walk
and
cycle
through
this
area
now
and
and
just
to
confirm
that
the
designs
that
are
coming
forward
do
do
take
that
into
account
and
try
to
make
it
safer,
certainly
in
terms
of
lighting
natural
landscaping
and
literally
just
making
sure
that
there's
more
visibility
for
all
users
in
the
area
to
aid
security.
So
fundamentally,
yes,
we're
taking
that
into
account
in
the
design.
B
I
Yeah,
I
was
just
to
say
leader
that
I
understand
the
challenge
on
the
fountains
and
it
is
something
that
I've
given
a
lot
of
thought
to
over
recent
years.
So
if
council
of
golden
or
councillor
hayden
want
me
to
apprise
them
of
the
challenges
and
I'll
be
able
to
do
so
outside
of
this
meeting,
and
I
think
in
terms
of
what
council
dalton
says
in
terms
of
the
connections
point,
I
think
it's
a
very
fair
challenge.
I
I
think
I
think
the
the
design
that
has
been
brought
to
executive
board
is
the
current
design.
That
doesn't
mean
it
can't
be
improved
as
it
moves
forward.
If
there's
anything
that
you
know,
councillor
golton
wants
to
bring
forward
as
suggestions
to
how
that
can
be
improved,
and
that
would
be
most
welcome.
B
D
It's
no
problem,
delighted
to
hear
the
comments
about
water
fountains,
a
predecessor
of
yours,
liz
minkin,
of
course,
was
very
keen
on
water
fountains.
We
got
one
in
millennium
square
that
didn't
work
properly
and
we
got
them
down
in
city
square.
They
didn't
work
properly
and
martin
will
harrington
will,
of
course
well
remember
that
we
have
to
shut
them
down
altogether
when
the
conservatives
and
lib
dems
took
over
because
they
were
health
hazard.
D
So
it
isn't
just
a
question
of
that.
What
appears
on
paper
works,
it's
that
what's
happening
on
the
ground,
works
and
works
properly,
and
that
maintenance
and
revenue
costs
are
properly
taken
into
account
because
they
are
incredibly
expensive
to
maintain,
and
they
may
be
very
nice
when
they're
first
installed,
but
they
very
quickly
become
a
drain
on
the
public
purse
and
indeed,
possibly
even
a
health
hazard.
D
D
It's
it's
bad
news
for
any
form
of
transport
as
it
stands,
it's
the
way
I
come
into
leads,
so
I
know
it
well,
you
take
your
life
in
your
hands
in
a
car,
half
the
time
to
safely
negotiate
it,
and
if
that
can
be
improved,
it
is
welcome,
but
just
to
come
on
to
to
city
square.
D
It's
one
of
these
schemes.
That's
long
been
in
someone's
bottom
drawer,
and
it
doesn't
surprise
me
it
comes
out
now,
but
there
are
interesting
points.
I
think
that
need
making
one
key
area
that
needs
to
be
understood,
I
think,
is
how
traffic
is
going
to
get
from
the
south
of
the
city
center
to
the
north,
for
example,
bridgewater
place
to
the
city
call.
D
Now
it's
all
very
well,
and
I
agree
that
we
don't
want
through
traffic
in
the
city
center,
it's
a
destination,
but
it
seems
to
me
we're
risking
putting
a
cork
into
a
bottle
if
we're
not
very
careful,
because
what
we
don't
want
to
do
is
stop
people
genuinely
coming
to
the
city
center,
either
by
train
by
bus
walking
if
they
can
and
more
and
more
people
are
coming
to
live
with
it
near
to
a
city
center
and
by
car.
D
And
it
just
seems
to
me
that,
if
we're
not
very
careful,
we
are
going
to
sacrifice
foot
for
the
civic
center
in
the
city
center
in
a
bid
to
stop
through
traffic.
And
it
would
be
nice
to
think
that
we
can
find
a
way
of
doing
both
to
make
sure
ensuring
that
people
can
visit
leeds
any
form
of
transport,
but
that
they
don't.
D
D
If
we're
directing
traffic
away
from
the
a621
to
armly,
potentially
we're
adding
miles
to
the
journey
that
increases
emissions
and
time
delays
and
congestion.
If
I'm
correct
in
assuming
that,
then
we're
going
to
add
to
pollution,
if
we're
not
very
careful
rather
than
reduce
it,
and
I
I
would
like
that
particularly
addressing.
B
Thank
you,
councillor
carter,
who
would
like
to
answer
those
questions.
Please.
G
G
As
far
as
I
understand
it,
and
I
can
be
corrected
if
you're
in
a
standing,
a
queue
of
traffic,
as
often
as
the
case
on
that
road
going
up
past
the
station
up
into
city
square
and
through
city
square,
it's
pre-pandemic,
it
was,
you
know,
nose
to
tail
most
of
the
time
that
increases
pollution
rather
than
moving
traffic
and
and
at
the
speeds
that
people
go
to
contribute
to
different
levels,
to
pollution
as
well.
G
So
and
in
terms
of
the
air
quality
in
there's
the
carbon
emissions
and
then
there's
air
quality
in
terms
of
air
quality
within
city
square,
and
that
area
it
will
be
vastly
improved
by
no
through
traffic
and
and
if
by
improving,
that
and
and
the
plans
are
to
improve
access
to
active
travel
and
to
bus
and
train.
G
We
also
have
our
fabulous
park
and
rides,
which
are
very,
very
popular
and
and
expanding
as
well.
So
and
as
you
say
quite
rightly,
it's
a
destination
pack,
a
car
at
the
park
and
ride
you
can
charge
your
electric
vehicle
up.
If
you
have
one
and
get
the
bus
will
take
you
very
quickly
into
our
fabulous
city
center,
and
I
don't
know
if
anyone's
got
more
technical
knowledge
than
I
have.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you
leader.
I
think
councillor
hayden's
covered
off
most
of
the
points
actually,
but
probably
just
a
couple
of
additional
ones
to
add
yeah.
I
think
what
we're
talking
about
here
is
trying
to
maximize
movement
capacity.
I
can
put
it
in
those
terms,
so
we're
trying
to
improve
the
lot
for
pedestrians,
cyclists
and
public
transport
users
so
that
they
all
benefit
and
are
able
to
move
in
and
around
the
city
in
a
much
better
way
and
we're
certainly
not
trying
to
ban
or
or
ban
access
into
the
city
center
by
car.
K
There
might
be
slightly
different
routes
that
people
might
have
to
take,
but
if
people
need
to
need
to
access
the
city
center
by
car
for
business
or
other
reasons,
then
they
will
still
be
able
to
do
that
under
these
proposals,
just
a
bit
more
technical
work,
clearly,
there's
a
lot
of
transport
modelling
work
that
will
be
done
to
support
this
and
has
already
been
done
and,
and
that
will
go
through
not
only
wiker
processes,
but
also
the
planning
application
that
we
have
to
follow
here
as
well.
K
B
I
can't
see
anybody
else
indicating
to
speak,
so
I'm
going
to
suggest
that
we
turn
to
the
recommendations
and
ask:
is
everybody
happy
to
support
the
recommendations
and
I'm
going
to
take
it?
That's
a
yes!
B
So
we'll
move
on
to
my
papers
now
and
the
first
one
is
item
10,
the
update
on
the
coronavirus
pandemic
response
and
recovery
plan,
and,
first
of
all,
I
think,
before
speaking
to
this
item,
it's
worth
just
reflecting
that
we
know
that
1
608
people
in
leeds
have
lost
their
lives
due
to
clover
and
I'm
sure
I
speak
for
the
whole
executive
board
and
everybody
here
that
our
thoughts
with
everybody
who's
been
affected
in
in
by
this.
B
The
report
goes
on
to
set
out
some
of
the
some
of
the
up-to-date
information.
At
the
moment,
our
pleasingly
our
infection
rate
is
falling
and
it's
fallen
by
32
over
the
last
week,
which
is
really
positive
for
everyone.
That's
been
involved
in
that
work
so
we're
now,
although
we're
above
the
national
average,
we
are
below
the
yorkshire
and
humber
average.
So
I
think
that's
a
good
news
and
good
news.
B
It's
moving
in
the
right
direction,
since
we
last
met
as
an
executive
board,
we've
moved
through
another
steps
on
the
plan
to
unlock
things
and
unlock
things
with
retail
or
retail
personal
services
and
outdoor
hospitality.
B
Opening
and
we've
worked
to
support
businesses
right
across
the
city
to
do
that
in
a
effective
way
to
get
businesses
back
up
and
running,
but
also
to
do
it
safely
and
putting
resources
into
that.
So
that's
positive
we'll
see
two
further
steps
before
we
meet
again
as
an
executive
board.
So
there's
a
lot
of
information
in
this
report.
We're
asked
to
on
the
recommendations
to
note
the
updated
response
and
recovery
plan
so,
like
so
there's
a
huge
amount
of
information
on
here.
B
So
I
shall
stop
my
introduction
now
and
ask
if
there
are
any
questions
and
I
can
see
council
golden
got
his
hand
up.
First,
we
already
had
a
preview
of
these
questions
council
for
gold.
So
what
would
you
like
to
ask
please.
F
I'd
like
to
refer
to
the
questions
I
made
earlier
chair
just
to
remind
it
is
page
17
and
it's
the
paragraph
7.5
and
7.7
first
referring
to
an
area
of
a
city-wide
conversation
on
the
future
use
of
city
and
local
centres,
and
why
I
haven't
heard
about
it
and
the
second
was
an
arts
grant
about
the
reopening
and
welcoming
back
visitors
and
whether
or
not
that
could
be
incorporated
into
welcoming
back
visitors
across
the
city.
B
Thank
you,
I
mean
clearly
on
7.7
it's
for
our
museum
and
gallery
site,
so
they
are
located
across
the
city.
In
terms
of
the
question
you
had
on
7.5,
who
would
like
to
answer
that
one?
Please.
I
Yeah
I
mean
just
on
the
on
the
first
point
leader.
My
understanding
is
that
the
the
arts
grant
was
to
provide
enhanced,
sound
and
lighting
facilities
for
the
town
hall
and
the
carriage
works
theater,
particularly
to
aid
their
ability
to
then
stream
live
events
during
a
period
of
lockdown,
but
I
can
I
can
get
clarification
on
that
if
it
helps
for
members
in
terms
of
the
the
conversation
again,
I
mean
I
can
clarify
and
look
into
it
further
councillor
golton,
but
I
think
that's
a
consultation
exercise.
I
That's
been
promoted
through
the
council's
website
and
in
terms
of
the
economic
updates
that
have
gone
to
members.
It's
been
flagged
there
and
through
the
outboard
outbreak
control
board.
So
I
think
you
know
that's
how
it's
been
flagged
as
an
opportunity
to
participate
in.
But
if,
if
you
want
a
specific
briefing
on
it,
I'm
quite
happy
to
do
that
and
then
you
can
sort
of
engage
through
that
route
as
well.
If
it's
helpful
to
you,
thank
you,
chair.
B
D
Yes,
first
question
is
to
victoria
eaton,
and
that
is
on
the
situation
at
the
hospitals
at
the
moment
and
actually
it's
a
question
about
resuming
or
speeding
up
the
the
treatments
that
have
been
delayed
because
of
coving
and
what
the
situation
now
is
that
that's
worrying
an
awful
lot
of
people
who've
been,
shall
I
say
their
treatments
have
been
phased
back
or
put
on
hold
because
of
the
covet
situation.
D
So
I'd
like
an
update
on
that
and,
secondly,
I'd
like
an
update
on
the
grant
situation
for
businesses.
D
I
am
told
that
other
adjacent
local
authorities
are
likely
to
have
expended
and
sent
out
all
their
grant
monies
very
very
shortly.
What
is
the
time
scale
for
the
lead
grants
to
be
completed
and
sent
out,
and
I
may
want
to
come
back
on
that.
B
E
Thanks
leader
thanks
councillor
carter,
so
yeah
in
general
terms,
as
you're
aware,
the
situation
in
the
hospital
is
very
much
improved.
The
latest
numbers
we
had
on
impatience
with
covid
was
37
overall
and
five
in
intensive
care,
which
is
a
greatly
improved
picture,
and
we
understand
that
the
hospital
is
still
running
just
one
covet
ward,
which
is
incredibly
positive,
which
frees
up
its
other
capacity
to
tackle
the
backlog
of
other
procedures.
E
It
is
absolutely
the
priority
of
not
just
the
hospital
but
the
rest
of
the
the
nhs
system
to
look
at
the
back
clog,
because
in
primary
care
also
we'll
have
a
huge
backlog
of
people
with
long-term
conditions.
Who've
not
had
health
checks,
some
of
the
public
health
services.
We
commission
in
primary
care,
you
know,
haven't
been
carried
out
to
the
extent
they
would
have
been
so
there's
there's
backlogs
right
across
the
system.
E
I
will
need
to
ask
the
hospital
to
give
a
detailed
update
on
what
what
that's
looking
like
in
terms
of
any
numbers.
They've
got
available
councillor
carter
because
I
I
don't
have
that
information
at
the
moment
and
the
conversations
that
we've
been
part
of
the
moment
is
around
nhs
partners
going
through
people
on
the
waiting
list
across
all
specialties
and
prioritizing
them
across
the
board
with
the
capacity
they've
got.
But
we
don't
have
any
numbers
at
hand
now.
D
B
D
B
And
who
would
like
to
answer
council
carter's
second
question
about
grants?
Please,
martin,
would
you
like
to
come
in.
I
Yeah,
thank
you.
So
I
mean
we've
taken
a
decision,
counselor
carter
that
has
allocated
96
of
the
monies.
So
the
task
now
is
to
manage
that
through
and
distribute
those
sums.
We've
brought
additional
staffing
to
help
us
do
that
and
we
have
trained
them
in
our
financial
management
system
to
support
us
in
that
and
the
current
position
is
that
we're
working
as
quickly
as
we
can
with
all
the
resources
that
we
can
apply
to
meet
the
revised
deadline
that
the
government
brought
forward
to
expand
the
monies
by
the
end
of
june.
I
D
Yes,
I
would
welcome
that
mr
farrington,
please,
because
my
understanding
is
that
other
adjacent
local
authorities
will
indeed
have
expended
their
money
by
the
deadline
at
the
end
of
june,
and
the
businesses
will
have
received
the
grants.
That's
not
the
case
in
leeds
and
I'd
like
that.
Clarifying
please.
B
B
I
think
the
significant
fact
in
this
paper
is
that,
despite
everything
that
happened
in
the
year,
we
are
presenting
a
balanced
position
for
the
budget.
We
know
from
previous
discussions
executive
board
that
has
taken
a
huge
amount
of
work,
including
the
use
of
some
reserves,
but
it
is
really
pleasing
that
we've
got
ourselves
to
this
position
without
needing
external
intervention.
I'd
like
to
place
on
record
my
thanks
for
everybody
on
executive
board
and
officers
who
have
worked
to
get
us
to
this
position.
B
It's
a
a
good
achievement
and
not
one
that
every
council
has
managed
there's
a
a
as
usual
with
the
financial
health
monitoring
reports.
There's
a
huge
amount
of
information
in
the
report.
I
don't
intend
to
say
more
in
introducing
the
paper
but
more
than
happy.
If
anybody
has
any
questions
to
raise
on
this
paper
council
cards,
please.
D
No
questions
on
this
particular
occasion
but
join
you
in
congratulating
victoria,
bradshaw
and
the
whole
of
the
team
and
neil
evans
for
their
work
on
the
council's
budget.
In
what's
been
a
difficult
year,
I
voiced
my
criticism
of
the
council's
budgeting
position
and
our
external
launches
comments.
D
So
in
the
budget
meeting
I
would
repeat
them,
but
we
will
get
to
a
balanced
budget
by
hook
or
by
crook
by
the
end.
The
final
report
on
this
last
year's
budget.
B
B
Take
it
from
silence,
that's
okay!
So
we
now
move
on
to
council
prize
portfolio
and
item
12,
please
counselor.
If
you'd
like
to
introduce
it.
H
Thank
you
leader,
so
this
is
the
outcome
of
the
statutory
notice
on
the
proposal
to
establish
a
resource
provision
at
st
margaret's
cav
from
from
the
september,
and
so
initial
consultation
took
place
on
these
proposals
between
november
20th
and
december
18th
last
year.
These
proposals
are
to
create
a
12th
place,
resource
provision
as
margaret's
for
peoples
with
complex
communication
difficulties
on
the
autistic
spectrum,
and
this
is
an
outstanding
school
and-
and
this
is
in
an
area
where
there
is
real
need
for
these
places.
B
Thank
you
councillor
prior.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
on
this
paper?
There
aren't
so
I'm
going
to
move
to
the
recommendations
and
seek
approval
from
the
board.
I
take
it
from
silence
that
everybody
is
accepting
the
recommendations
so
we're
on
to
our
last
item
item
13,
which
is
a
council
of
any
please.
If
you
could
introduce
paper.
L
Thank
you
leader.
I'm
I'm
really
delighted
to
bring
this
report,
I'm
very
proud
that
leeds
has
maintained
a
youth
service.
Many
authorities
don't
run
youth
services
anymore.
The
youth
service
has
been
decimated
over
the
last
decade
and
it's
been
very
much
a
decision
to
retain
it
in
leeds.
I'm
particularly
delighted
to
bring
this
paper
because
the
last
thing
the
labor
group
did
before
the
pandemic
and
lockdown
was
to
prove
that
this
model,
but
then
code,
happened
and
also
the
financial
situation
that
put
the
council
in.
L
But
during
all
the
discussions
about
budgets,
it
was
a
decision
and
commitment
to
not
cut
funding
out
of
youth
work
before
getting
to
the
point
of
developing
the
model.
There
was
a
long
period
of
consultation
really
over
the
three
years
before
that
with
children,
young
people,
elected
members
providers-
and
there
were
three
very
well
attended
workshops
in
the
summer
of
2019
of
providers
internally
and
externally,
which
very
much
informed
the
model.
L
There's
then
the
enhanced
offer,
which
is
forward
supply
deprivation.
There
are
two
elements
of
that
contracts
of
three
to
five
years,
which
are
for
our
third
sector
providers,
and
that
has
the
flexibility
to
work
with
children
under
the
age
of
11
and
over
the
age
of
17,
and
then
grants
of
one
to
two
years
which
could
be
delivered
by
our
internal
service
or
external
providers
and
that's
for
discrete
time
limited
projects
to
address
specific
issues
as
they
arise.
L
In
addition
to
this,
there's
currently
in
the
process
of
consulting
well
consulting
around
implementation
with
providers
there's
strands
of
work
within
the
model,
around
communications,
a
review
of
buildings,
we
could
use
for
use,
work
and
also
developing
consistent
monitoring
and
evaluation
for
internal
and
external
provisions,
so
that
we've
got
a
consistent
way
of
monitoring
the
efficacy
of
youth
work.
L
The
next
phase
will
be
designing
the
specifications
for
the
external
contracts
which
are
going
to
be
industry
wedges
of
the
city,
and
we
will
be
involving
the
communities
directorate
in
that
and
working
with
them
to
look
at
how
we
can
bring
youth
working
communities
work
closer
together,
which
they
used
to
be
the
youth
work.
Qualification
used
to
be
youth
and
community
work,
and
it
changed
over
the
last
20
years,
but
actually
it
would
be
really
beneficial
to
link
our
youth
work
into
work
like
the
priority
networks.
L
Priority
neighborhoods
work
that
communities
do
so
I'm
very
happy
to
bring
this
paper,
and
I
will
leave
my
introductory
comments
there.
Thank
you
leader,.
B
I
take
it
there,
council
dogs
put
his
hand
up.
Would
you
like
to
come
in
please.
F
Chair,
I
did
have
a
conversation
about
this
with
children's
services
officers,
because
I
I
know
it's
been
said,
no
area
will
lose
out
on
what
they're
currently
getting.
But
if
what
they're
currently
getting
is
not
very
much,
that's
not
much
of
a
consolation
really,
and
this
review
seems
to
have
not
come
to
any
conclusions
which
are
different
to
what
the
status
quo
was
anyway,
except
to
emphasize
that
even
more
funding
should
be
concentrated
in
fewer
areas.
F
I
would
like
to
see
this
relationship
that
councillor
then
talks
about
with
the
communities
section
in
terms
of
enabling
youth
and
community
work,
because
I
think
the
ability
to
engage
young
people
in
outer
areas
of
the
city
is
very
much
disabled
by
the
lack
of
capacity
which
is
there
at
the
very
beginning,
from
youth
services
to
have
time
to
curate
those
kind
of
relationships.
F
But
if
a
model
can
be
found
through
those
conversations
that
counselor
bender
is
talking
about,
then
fair
enough.
But
at
the
moment
I've
got
a
situation
where
the
deprivation
levels
in
wards
are
based
on
individual
super
output
areas
in
terms
of
their
deprivation
index
and
in
my
ward,
the
areas
with
the
highest
deprivation
tend
to
get
cut
in
half,
and
then
those
poorer
communities
are
associated
with
very
high
end,
our
housing,
which
basically
diffuses
the
need
which
is
actually
there
in
those
estates,
and
they
don't
get
the
attention
that
they
require.
F
L
B
L
Like
to
come
back,
thank
you,
as
I
stated
in
my
introduction.
Not
only
is
no
ward
getting
a
reduction,
but
we
do
have
the
enhancement
of
the
life
coach
team,
which
reflects
the
fact
that
we
know
there
is
a
desperate
need,
especially
after
the
pandemic,
for
more
resources
around
children's
mental
health.
But
I'm
not
going
to
apologize
for
directing
resources
where
they
are
most
needed
in
our
wards
of
higher
deprivation.
L
But
we
know
that
there
are
pockets
of
deprivation
in
outer
areas
and
in
areas
that
are
not
considered
areas
of
deprivation,
and
I
would
remind
councillor
gultin
that
you
have
got
the
youth
activities
fund
and
you
have
got
well-being
funding,
which
is
also
funding.
That's
been
protected
and
indeed
increased
in
the
last
few
years,
and
if
you
were
concerned
about
about
areas
within
your
community
committee
area,
you
can
commission
youth
work
as
I
do
in
my
award.
L
B
I
can't
see
anybody
else
wanting
to
come
in,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
to
the
recommendations
and
do
we
all
agree
the
recommendations.
B
I
take
it
that
everybody
is
happy
with
those
recommendations,
so
we've
agreed
item
13,
and
that
brings
us
to
the
end
of
this
executive
board
meeting.
So
thank
you.
Everybody
for
attending
and
we've
got
a
slightly
early
video,
so
we
can
all
run
out
until
the
sun
and
play
out
nicely.
So
thank
you.
Everybody.
