B
C
B
Thank
you,
the
council
of
prior
any
more
declarations,
council
carter,
please,
yes,.
D
I
need
to
declare
an
other
red
registral
interest.
As
a
trustee
of
the
carving
charity
appointed
to
this
role
by
the
council,
I
have
sought
a
dispensation
to
speak,
but
not
vote
on
items
18
and
19,
and
this
has
been
granted
by
the
chief
executive
in
accordance
with
the
council's
constitutional
arrangements.
B
Just
before
we
move
on
to
the
first
item,
I
will
just
make
a
quick
comment
about
the
running
of
the
meeting
in
room
six
and
seven
because
of
the
covert
situation.
We
will
hold
the
first
hour
and
a
half
of
the
meeting.
Then
we
will
adjourn
for
half
an
hour
whilst
the
room
is
cleaned
and
ventilated
and
then
we'll
come
back
for
a
second
hour
and
a
half
block
of
the
meeting.
So
that's
going
to
be
how
the
meeting
will
run
this
afternoon.
B
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
the
first
substantive
item,
which
is
item
6,
the
arts
at
leeds
five-year
extension,
and
I
will
ask
eve
if
you
would
like
to
introduce
his
paper.
Please.
E
Finally,
there's
been
a
change
of
personnel
in
the
council
in
council
in
terms
of
offices,
so
the
previous
chief
officer
for
culture
and
support
left
in
november
and
the
responsibility
for
grants
moved
under
myself
with
support
from
pam
johnson
and
we
need
to
allow
sufficient
time
to
ensure
that
we
run
a
proper
process
for
an
extended
the
new
new
round
of
grants
and
the
timelines
for
that.
E
This
extension
allows
us
to
do
that
effectively
in
consultation,
full
consultation
with
members
and
so
there's
a
timeline
at
the
back.
That
just
gives
an
indication
of
how
we
will
will
run
this
with
a
review
of
the
cultural
funding
programs
happening
in
january
2022..
E
Two
things
to
underline
this
doesn't
affect
the
council
budget
budget
setting
process,
but
it
does
provide
assurances
to
the
recipients
of
the
grants
that
they
will
be
able
to
continue
their
work
in
the
next
year.
E
And
secondly,
if
you
look
at
the
appendix
you'll
see
that
the
organizations
that
are
supported
through
arts
at
leeds
across
the
whole
of
the
city,
with
work
in
all
wards
and
again,
the
extension
allows
us
to
ensure
that
we
can
work
with
some
of
the
larger
organizations
to
make
sure
that
more
work
is
directed
to
some
of
those
areas
in
the
city
where
there
may
be
less
cultural
activity
at
the
current
time.
So
I
hope
that
provides
a
sufficient
overview.
E
B
Thank
you.
That's
a
really
useful
introduction
and
I
understand
as
well.
The
groups
in
question
provide
employment
for
over
1500,
freelancers
who've,
really
struggled
during
the
cobit
period
as
well
and
have
in
total,
have
brought
in
an
additional
55
million
pounds
of
grant
funding
into
the
into
the
city
pre-code
per
year,
and
I
think
again
it's
important
to
see
that
investment
come
in
on
top
of
our
money.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
on
this
item?
Please?
Yes,
please,
council,
carter,
yeah.
D
Just
just
briefly,
if
I
heard
correctly,
the
decision
to
extend
the
period
of
time
does
not
have
any
budgetary
implications.
In
other
words,
the
budget
still
remains
the
budget
and
can
be
changed
by
the
administration
as
it
needs
to.
D
The
second
point
is,
as
you
are
giving,
I
think
it's
12
million
to
the
city
of
culture
over
this
next
few
years.
Can
I
be
assured,
there's
no
double
counting
in
terms
of
grant
funding
here
and,
if
that's
something
you
need
to
take
away
and
bring
back,
that's
fine,
but
I
would
like
some
reassurance
on
that.
Please.
B
That
okay,
thank
you,
council,
cartoon,
we'll
bring
that
information
back
to
you
that
you've
requested.
Are
there
any
more
questions
or
comments?
Okay,
I'm
going
to
refer
to
the
recommendation
on
page
27
and
I
see
everybody
is
happy
with
that
recommendation.
B
B
Thank
you
item
seven.
Please.
C
C
D
B
Yeah
great,
so
I'm
going
to
move
to
the
recommendation
on
page
47.
I'll
take
it.
Everybody
is
happy
with
that
recommendation.
So
we'll
move
on
to
item
eight,
please
counsel.
Prior.
C
Thank
you.
So
this
is
the
outcome
of
the
consultation
to
permanently
ex
permanently
increase
learning
places.
That's
an
edwards
catholic
primary,
also
from
september
22..
This
would
increase
the
pan
from
20
to
30,
which
are
needed
places
in
the
area
and
do
would
help
make
the
school
more
sustainable.
C
There
were
a
number
of
objections
to
this
expansion,
largely
surrounding
highways
issues
to
address
this,
a
full
traffic
assessment
and
a
transport
statement
will
be
produced
to
support
the
development
of
the
scheme,
but
I
do
think
it's
worth
noting
that
the
school
has
been
taking
over
pan
for
a
number
of
years,
so
the
actual
expansion
of
the
school
is
in
reality
smaller
than
it
is
on
paper,
but
I
will
leave
it
there.
D
Like
to
comment,
yes,
I
mean
you've
got
to
the
number
of
the
problem.
Really.
I
would
just
say
that
most
of
the
people
who've
contacted
me
and
indeed
my
discussions
with
the
board
members
all
seem
to
be
generally
in
support
of
the
principle
outlined
here,
but
have
raised
very
serious
highways
issues.
D
Other
members
may
not
be
aware.
I'm
sure
that
council
of
prior
is
there
are
three
schools
exiting
and
accessing
off
the
same
road.
One
of
them
is
west
oaks
special
school.
D
The
highways
department
will
do
a
thorough
and
complete
assessment
and
that
we
will
act
on
recommendations
as
far
as
is
possible
to
make
sure
that
the
residents
and
the
children's
safety
is
safeguarded.
We
have
enough
problems
with
infrastructure
around
schools
all
around
the
city
without
making
a
difficult
job
in
this
particular
area,
even
worse,
by
just
agreeing
the
enlargement
without
without
looking
properly
at
the
infrastructure
implications.
C
Yeah,
I
think
those
are
reasonable
comments
and
yeah.
I
can
guarantee
it'll,
be
a
thorough
job
done.
B
Thank
you.
If
there's
no
other
comments,
I
will
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
72
and
I
see
everybody
is
happy
with
those
recommendations.
So
that
brings
us
on
to
councillor
arif's
paper.
Please.
F
Firstly,
everyone
has
had
a
a
difficult
18
months
and
it
is
important
that
we
have
a
fitting
memorial
in
recognition
of
friends
and
families
that
we've
lost
during
the
pandemic
and,
secondly,
to
also
appreciate
the
efforts
of
front
lines
and
key
workers
to
con
who
continue
to
do
us
proud.
So
it's
really
brilliant
that
we
have
been
able
to
combine
this
with
the
fitting
use
of
the
former
south
lee's
golf
club.
F
This
new
48
hectare
park
in
memorial
woodland
will
support
our
pledge
to
combat
climate
emergency
by
planting
5.8
million
trees
over
the
nights
next
25
years.
Whilst
enhancing
middleson
park
as
a
destination
for
both
those
paying
their
respect
and
to
visitors
in
the
area,
the
creation
of
the
more
patent
also
provides
a
more
greener
space
for
local
residents
to
enjoy,
which
obviously
has
got
mental
mental
and
physical
health
benefits.
I
look
forward
to
the
launch
event
after
which
we
can
spread
the
word
about
the
memorial
and
how
to
participate.
F
B
Thank
you,
council
arif,
and
it
was
great
to
go
and
visit
the
site
this
morning
as
well
and
just
see
on
the
old
golf
course
the
opportunity
that's
available
to
us
there
are
there
any
questions
or
comments
on
this
paper
council
carter.
Please
then
only.
D
To
to
welcome
the
proposals
and
express
the
hope
that
we'll
see
these
sort
of
initiatives
spread
throughout
the
city,
which
just
reminds
me
of
a
comment
councillor
galton
made
at
our
last
special
executive
on
the
leveling
up
fund
when
there
was
mention
of
woodland
and
parkland
throughout
the
city.
I
think
it
was
councillor
galton
who
raised
the
issue
of
whether
that
fell
into
the
criteria
of
that
particular
fund,
and
I
suspect
a
city-wide
scheme
does
not
necessarily
do
that.
D
G
I
have
to
say
I
will
preface
my
comments
with
the
fact
that
the
leeds
hospital
trust,
which
is
the
partner
which
is
going
to
be
delivering
a
covered
memorial
woodland
within
this
ex-golf
course,
is
the
lord
mayor's
charity
for
this
year,
and
I
am
one
of
the
trustees
and
I
wish
them
well,
and
I
look
forward
to
them
being
able
to
achieve
the
income
that
they
wish
to
through
this
initiative
that
they
have
discussed
with
the
council.
G
In
fact,
you
could
argue
it's
sort
of
gilding
the
lily,
because
middleton
park
is
an
exemplar
recreational
space
for
people
and
the
amount
of
land
which
is
being
associated
with
the
memorial
woodland
is
one
sixth,
from
my
estimation,
from
the
diagram
which
is
being
given
to
us
of
the
golf
course
itself,
and
this
is
really
an
exercise
in
the
council
acquiring
land
to
plant
a
lot
of
trees,
which
is
a
good
thing
in
itself.
But
it's
also
a
very
substantial
investment.
G
G
And
it
just
feels
like
the
department
hasn't
actually
had
a
serious
think
about
what
its
priorities
should
be
going
forward
and
where
it
puts
its
money.
So
I
I'm
not
going
to
vote
against
this
proposal
because
I
wouldn't
like
to
get
in
the
way
of
the
partnership
which
is
going
to
be
happening
with
the
charity
in
question.
But
I
will
also
question
the
prominence
of
that
memorial
woodland
in
the
presentation
of
this
item
because,
as
I
said
before,
it
forms
a
small
part,
but
also
it's
pre-supposing.
G
What
the
people
of
leeds
would
like
to
see
as
their
coveted
memorial
in
this
city,
and
I
would
like
to
think
that
we
would
have
a
far
wider
engagement
of
the
general
people
population
in
leeds
to
understand
what
they
think
might
be
an
appropriate
place
of
commemoration
of
people
who
have
died,
and
I
would
suggest
that
it
probably
would
be
somewhere
a
little
bit
more
central.
G
So
I'd
like
to
think
that
this
isn't
just
the
council's
proposal
for
covid
memorial
initiatives
and
actually
we'll
see
something
far
more
substantial
in
further
papers.
Thanks
chair.
B
Thank
you,
council
golden.
I
must
correct
you
on
the
fact
the
council
hasn't
acquired
this
site.
The
council
owned
the
site,
it
was
leased
out
to
an
organiser.
They
would
lease
out
an
organization
and
came
back
to
the
council.
I
think
that's
an
important
difference.
We
haven't
this.
This
is
always
council-owned
land.
I
think
that's
important
to
say.
If
there's
any
suggestion
that
we
have
brought
this
land,
I
just
thought
that
would
needed
clearing
up.
We,
the
leaf,
came.
We
we
owned
the
land
in
the
first
place,
you're
absolutely
right,
councillor
golden
council
carter.
D
D
So
could
we
please
have
some
attention
to
that?
Please.
That
would
be
very
helpful
and
it
reminds
me
of
the
old
abbey
adage.
The
departments
have
to
learn
to
be
able
to
think
and
chew
gum
at
the
same
time,
and
they
need
to
get
on
with
it.
B
Thank
you,
I'm
sure
those
points
on
highways
grass
will
get
followed
up.
Are
there
any
more
comments
on
the
item
in
front
of
us,
which
is
the
covered
19
memorial
woodland
councillors?
Please.
F
B
Thank
you.
So
I'm
going
to
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
91
and
I
see
everybody
is
happy
with
those
recommendations
and
they're
agreed.
So
we
will
move
on
to
council,
hayden's
papers
and
item
number.
H
H
So
these
projects
link
existing
cycle
routes
together
to
form
a
coherent
network,
and
anybody
who
walks
or
cycles
around
the
center
or
into
the
city
centre
then
finds
it
very
difficult
to
have
a
an
easy
and
safe
link
from
north
to
south
or
east
to
west
or
any
other.
So
we're
looking
to
connect
the
city
centre
so
that
people
have
that
choice
of
travel
mode
and
there'll
be
less
dependency
on
the
private
car
for
short
and
medium
length
journeys
so
I'll
leave
it
there
chair.
Thank
you.
B
H
H
The
proposed
scope
reflects
the
commitment
of
full
council
to
update
the
local
plan
to
address
climate
emergency
and
planning
has
taken,
has
a
key
role
to
assist
in
the
two
biggest
contributors
to
the
city's
carbon
footprint,
which
is
transport
and
buildings
which
between
them
make
about
eighty
percent
of
our.
H
Output,
the
local
plan
update
also
responds
to
a
need
for
places
to
be
more
resilient,
which
the
pandemic
lockdowns
have
made
even
more
important.
This
will
be
achieved
through
better
green
spaces,
for
well-being
and
to
encourage
us
all
to
be
more
active,
green
and
blue
infrastructure,
which
can
be
cheaper
to
install
and
grey
infrastructure
and
also
helps
address
biodiversity
loss
and
through
high
quality
design
and
lay
and
layout
and
resilience
to
flooding.
H
So
the
proposed
scope
of
the
update
and
broad
policy
direction
travel
will
now
be
subject
to
eight
weeks,
a
public
consultation
starting
in
mid-july
ending
in
mid-september,
and
this
is
longer
than
we
would
than
we're
required
to
do,
because
we
do
want
to
hear
from
many
and
diverse
leads
communities
about
these
about
these
plans
so
I'll
leave
it.
H
D
Yeah
it's
a
document
for
consultation
and
I'm
pleased
that
the
time
scale
has
been
extended.
I
I
hope
we
will
take
on
board,
which
we
haven't
always
done.
A
lot
of
the
constructive
comments
which
will
come
in
from
residents
of
leeds
in
updating
the
local
plan,
and
I
particularly
want
to
just
refer
very
briefly
to
flood
risk,
which
I
think
is
is
still
a
major
threat
to
this
city.
Despite
the
huge
amount
of
money
that
we're
spending
government
money,
we're
spending
on
our
flood
risk
strategy,
certainly
a
number
of
awards.
D
When
I've
spoken
to
elected
members,
there
have
been
interesting
changes
in
the
pattern
of
flooding
and
I
hope
that
that's
picked
up
during
the
consultation
period,
because
it
remains
as
far
as
I'm
concerned
a
very,
very
serious
issue
indeed,
and
in
indeed
it
overlaps
a
number
of
other
issues
in
this
paper.
So
I'll
leave
it
at
that
and
we'll
wait
to
see
what
the
consultation
brings
forth.
But
certainly
we
shall
be
responding
to
it.
G
Yes,
chad,
I
just
wanted
to
have
some
more
detail
about
how
we
ensure
that
the
consultation
is
accessible
to
people.
I've,
not
particularly
a
fan
of
online
map
based
formats
like
the
one
that
has
been
used
to
get
consultation
on
highways
priorities
in
the
city,
because
it
tends
to
preclude
quite
a
large
section
of
the
population
that
don't
have
access
or,
more
importantly,
the
time
to
go
on
to
those
online
platforms.
G
So
I
I'd
be
interested
to
know
what
kind
of
ward-based
one-to-one
type
activity
would
be
taking
place,
considering
that
we
should
be
allowed
to
unlock
a
little
bit
given
the
current
time
scales
and
how
we
actually
what's.
The
word
enable
effective
con
conversations,
because
I'm
just
looking
at
some
of
the
key
questions
that
the
council
is
asking
and
I'll
give
you
an
example
of
one
question:
do
you
think
that
planning
policy
should
seek
to
reduce
the
embodied
carbon
emissions
across
the
whole
life
cycle
of
a
development?
G
And
do
you
have
any
further
thoughts
on
whole
life
cycle?
Carbon
reduction,
such
as
how
quickly
it
should
be
used
to
require
zero
carbon
development
or
whether
all
development
should
be
required
to
carry
out
assessments.
That's
not
going
to
create
a
a
crush
at
any
community
building's
door
anytime
soon.
If,
if
we're
not
actually
opening
up
our
engagement
a
little
bit
more
effectively,
so
I'd
like
some
reassurance
on
that.
H
You
well,
as
somebody
who
struggles
to
understand
that
question.
You
can
rest
assured
that
I
would
want
the
consultation
to
be
as
open
as
possible.
I
mean
we're
we're
in
we've,
been
in
a
very
difficult
situation.
The
last
year
I'm
unable
to
get
out
in
and
and
consult
face-to-face
with
our
community
consultations.
I
don't
think
a
one-to-one
consultations
would
be
that
an
effective
use
of
our
of
officers
time,
but
I
take
your
point
about
that
particular
question.
H
So
I'm
I
mean
I'm
going
to
bring
adam
in
in
in
a
minute,
but
actually
in
terms
of
the
highways
consultation,
we
had
thousands
more
people
that
normally
get
involved
in
them
in
a
highways
consultation,
so
it
was
actually
very
effective
at
getting
out
to
many
people
who
could
then,
if
they
weren't
around
at
the
time
that
that
webinar
was
happening,
could
watch
it
later
on
youtube
and
I
don't
have
the
actual
stats.
But
many
many
more
people
are
actually
involved
in
the
highways
schemes.
H
A
Thank
you
just
to
introduce
myself
adam,
harvard
group
manager
for
policy
and
plants.
Yes,
the
the
point
I
think
is
about
choice
and
making
sure
that
the
public
can
interact
with
this
in
a
way
that
that
is
more
suitable
and
and
easy
for
them.
What
we're
trying
to
look
at
is
summarizing
a
lot
of
these
documents.
Obviously,
you've
got
100
odd,
page
document
in
front
of
you.
A
There
we're
making
much
shorter
versions
of
that
that
use
that
material,
so
that
when
people
do
consultations,
they
can,
if
they've,
only
got
to
say
10
minutes,
we
can
we've
got
an
option
for
them,
so
we're
using
our
web
site
and
on
the
material
to
do
that
and
working
very
closely
with
excellent
colleagues
in
comms
and
and
the
the
web
team
to
develop
much
shorter
versions
of
this
material.
I
B
H
Thank
you
very
much.
This
is
paper
is
a
redevelopment
of
city
square
and
it's
the
outcome
of
the
design,
competition
and
appointment
of
the
preferred
designer.
H
So
it's
I'm
delighted
to
to
bring
this
paper
to
exec
ball
this
afternoon,
and
it
seeks
approval
to
the
appointment
of
the
preferred
designer
who
will
work
proactively
with
the
council
and
stakeholders
to
redevelop
city
square
from
the
design
concept
submitted
as
part
of
the
design
competition
to
an
approved
design.
H
The
the
design
that
was
submitted
as
part
of
the
competition
obviously
will
be
indicative
of
what
the
designer
would
like
to
see
in
city
square,
but
there'll
be
a
lot
of
consultation
and
work
with
the
council
before
a
final
design
and
stakeholders
of
all
of
all
types
of
stakeholders
in
before
the
final
design
is
approved.
D
So
thank
you,
councillor
hayden,
but
you
answered
most
of
my
questions
for
you
because
you
decided
to
put
the
the
winner
of
the
competition
firmly
back
in
the
box
and
tell
them
it's
indicative,
and
presumably
they
can
stop
referring
to
city
square
as
the
glade
if,
unless
they
want
a
revolution
on
their
hands,
city
square
has
throughout
my
lifetime
and
long
before
being
city
square,
and
I
hope
it
will
remain
so
for
a
long
time
to
come.
D
So
we
can
take
it
from
that
that
there
is
no
subterfuge,
no
plan
underlining
all
this
to
remove
the
statues
and
the
black
prince
or
anything
else.
Thank
you
for
that
reassurance.
I
shall
remember
that
council
hayden.
D
B
I
always
remember
catching
my
boston
city
square
on
part
of
it.
That's
now
paved
over.
I
think
it's
always
been
city
square
to
many
of
us
here.
Councillor
council
golden,
please
well.
G
I
would
expect
something
far
more
substantial
at
the
end
of
it
than
just
oh
well,
we've
selected
a
person
that
will
provide
something
that
looks
a
little
bit
like
the
drawings
that
they've
presented.
It
doesn't
sound
to
me
like
a
really
good
value,
deal
with
reba
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
was
skeptical
of
it
when
it
last
came
to
the
executive
board.
But
I
do
think
the
council
has
an
opportunity
to
redeem
itself
and
actually
make
that
a
more
meaningful
investment.
G
That,
I
think,
would
be
something
that
the
people
of
leeds
might
be
able
to
support
as
a
fitting
response
to
what
they've
been
through
over
the
past
few
years
and
be
something
which
is
far
more
accessible
than
what
has
been
proposed
in
middleton.
And
if
that
could
be
considered.
That
would
be,
I
think,
appreciated.
B
Thank
you,
I
think
clearly,
part
of
the
middleton
proposal
is
to
allow
families
to
celebrate
their
loved
ones,
and
sadly,
the
number
of
number
of
people
have
sadly
passed
away
in
leeds
due
to
covid
would
mean
we
need
a
a
larger
area
than
city
square.
To
do
that,
although
I
think
putting
some
form
of
permanent
memorial
in
city
square,
it's
part
of
it,
and
I
also
again
you
know
the
I
was
lucky
enough
to
visit
middleton
this
morning.
B
I
think
the
tranquility
and
peace
of
that
site
compared
to
city
square
is
also
an
important
part
of
that.
But
I
do
you
know.
I
know
your
comments
are
made
in
the
constructive
sense
council
goal.
I'm
sure
I'm
sure
we
can
take
that
moving
forward.
I
just
wouldn't
want
to
see
it
as
an
either
or
option.
J
Yeah,
thank
you
lena.
It
was
just
in
relation
to
to
costs.
I
mean
through
the
reba
competition
process.
The
costs
are
in
in
line
with
what
you
would
expect
for
the
design
development
of
a
scheme
of
this
scale
at
this
stage.
So
it's
just
a
different
way
of
delivering
the
design,
but
the
costs
fit
within
the
parameters.
One
would
expect,
in
terms
of
as
a
proportion
of
the
total
forecast
scheme
cost.
If
that
helps.
H
Yes,
please,
if
it
indulged
me,
I
mean
we
have
to.
We
have
to
get
this
right.
It
will
always
be
city
square.
There's
no
two
ways
about
as
long
as
I'm
involved.
It
will
always
be
city,
it
is
city
square,
that's
what
and-
and
it's
really
exciting
having
that
design
people
bringing
new
ideas,
and
I
think
it's
really
good
idea
to
have
a
competition
and,
as
martin
said
it's
within
the
parameters
of
what
we
would
spend,
we
need
to
get
this
right.
H
It's
the
gateway
to
the
city,
it's
our
flagship
area
and
you
get
off
the
train,
you,
you
know
you
come
into
city
square.
I
want
it
to
be
just
phenomenal,
so
that
it
I
mean
I
like
it
anyway.
Now
I
just
it
would
be
really
nice
to
have
walking
out
the
the
railway
station
out
of
the
queen's
hotel
and
straight
into
this
amazing
public
realm.
H
So
where
we
need
to
get
this
right,
we
need
to
talk
to
the
people
of
leeds
and
all
the
stakehold
stakeholders
very
much
want
to
bring
trees
into
it.
It
won't
be
called
you
know,
I
don't
don't
particularly
want
to
be
called
the
glade.
I
think
that's
a
concept
rather
than-
and
I
think
the
idea
of
a
covered
manorial
is
a
really
fitting
one
and
bringing
bringing
that
kind
of
green
space
into
it.
Is
it
I
think
what
was
really
powerful
about
this
about
this?
H
This
submission
to
the
competition.
I
don't
know
whether
you
want
to
come
in
jane
about
the
competition.
E
More
than
happy
to
so
it
was
done
in
two
phases.
I
hope
you
can
hear
me
down
down
there.
It
feels
a
long
way
we
first
of
all
went
out
for
expressions
of
interest
and
had
30
returns,
which
we
narrowed
down
to
five.
E
E
And
spaces
group
and
the
the
scheme
that
is
presented
here
was
unanimously
in
first
place
by
a
considerable
margin
so
and
the
added
value
to
that
is
it's
a
local
leads
company
and
they've
worked
very
proactively
and
positively
with
us
in
the
past.
So
it's
it's
exciting
to
see.
B
Thank
you
jane.
I
going
to
can't
see
somebody
else
with
their
hands
up,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
300
and
I
see
everybody's
happy
with
those
recommendations.
So
they
are
agreed
and
if
you
could
move
on
to
item
13,
please
counselor
hayden.
H
So
it's
to
every
pack
for
this
report
provides
an
update
regarding
the
council's
fulltone
park
park
life
scheme
and
the
outcome
of
recent
discussions
with
league
united
football
club
around
their
preference
to
preserve
the
potential
for
a
disposal
of
the
former
matthew
murray
high
school
site
to
lufc
as
part
of
the
club's
ambition
to
relocate
their
training,
ground
facilities
close
to
turling
road,
but
also
as
part
of
the
proposals
regarding
the
expansion
of
the
ellen
road
stadium.
H
So
leed
united,
are
looking
to
expand
in
the
future,
expand
the
ellen
road
capacity,
so
this
in
in
discussions
with
them,
is
being
decided
to
move
the
park.
H
Life
footballing
scheme
to
the
former
matthew,
murray
high
school
site
in
holbach,
and
this
will
include
a
a
medical
center
with
a
gp
practice
which
will
be
much
needed
in
that
part
of
the
city
and
and
and
fabulous
facilities
for
the
local
people,
as
well
as
as
further
further
afield,
but
keeping
in
the
the
club's
ambition
to
relocate
their
training
ground
to
closer
to
ellen
road.
So
I'll
leave
it
there.
For
the
moment
for
questions,
please.
D
Yeah,
would
it
be
unfair
or
true
to
say
that
leeds
united
have
changed
their
mind
on
this
at
a
very
late
stage
and
it
somewhat
delayed
the
whole
process
and
I'm
sure
jane
one
can
answer
that
nevertheless
support
the
paper,
but
it
has
been
left
a
bit
late
and
delayed
the
whole
process,
and
that
particularly
irks
me
because
of
course,
woodhall
playing
fields
are
part
of
the
park.
D
J
Perhaps
if
I
start
and
then
jane
can
correct
me
leader,
the
in
terms
of
it
late,
I
I
think
it
couldn't
have
been
left
any
later.
J
I
think
it's
fair
to
say,
but
I
mean
I
mean
I
think,
as
as
members
of
the
council
would
you
know,
you'd
want
to
have
regard
to
the
importance
of
ellen
road
as
a
football
stadium,
but
if
leeds
united,
you
know
they
have
changed
their
position
and
wish
to
expand
to
55
000
seats.
So
if
we
can
facilitate
that,
then
that's
that's.
The
reason
for
the
recommendations
that
have
been
have
been
made
and
as
outlined
in
the
report
lead
united
will
pay
our
costs
for
redesign
recognizing
that
we're
acting
at
their
request.
J
You
know
so
there's
that
and
then,
with
regard
to
wood
hall,
when
we
go
forward
to
parklife
with
our
schemes
for
the
final
bid
to
secure
the
to
secure
the
final
sign
off,
we
need
to
take
two
schemes
forward.
So
we've
got
three
schemes,
as
you
know,
and
green
park
at
thorpe
park
is
going
forward
through
planning.
So,
on
the
basis
that
that
secures
planning
then
we'll
be
able
to
go
forward
with
with
woodhall
it
will.
J
This
will
cause
a
delay
to
this
scheme,
but
on
the
basis
that
we
have
three
that
we're
moving
forward,
then
we'll
be
able
to
bring
them
forward
still
to
the
to
the
football
foundation,
and
we
will
come
back
with
a
comprehensive
report
on
the
park
live
scheme.
As
you
as
you
ask
council
carter,.
B
B
So
we
move
on
to
the
paper
under
my
portfolio,
which
is
the
update
on
the
coronavirus
pandemic,
and
I
think
in
introducing
this
paper,
it's
welcome
to
see
many
signs
of
normality
normality
returning
to
the
city,
I
understand
that
footfall
in
the
city
centre
is
rising
at
the
weekend,
we're
starting
to
see
more
people
back
in
the
city
during
the
week.
I'm
starting
to
see
some
of
those
indications
that
the
recovery
is
is
is
coming
back
to
us.
B
I
think
we
can't
speak
to
this
paper
without
talking
about
the
rise
in
infection
rates
in
the
city,
which
we've
seen
a
an
increase
in
over
the
last
week,
and
at
this
point
I
will
ask
council
arif
to
come
in
and
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
understanding
and
response
to
that
rise
in
the
infection
rates.
Please.
F
Thank
you
chair.
Yes,
as
many
people
will
be
aware,
we've
had
an
increase
in
in
in
rates,
particularly
in
the
hyde
park
and
the
woodhouse
wards,
just
to
really
say
that
leeds
is
pretty
much
consistent
with
the
rest
of
the
cities
in
terms
of
the
increase
in
in.
In
the
cases,
there's
been
a
combination
of
things
really.
We've
obviously
had
the
easing
of
lockdown,
which
has
meant
that
we've
had
more
social
contact.
F
That
combined
with
the
fact
that
we
have
the
delta
variant,
which
is
now
the
dominant
variant
and
is
far
more
transmissible
and,
of
course,
our
younger
population
isn't
yet
fully
vaccinated
because
the
the
the
over
18's
opened
only
last
week,
we
have
responded
to
that
chair.
We've
got
three
centers
test:
enhanced
testing
centers,
where
we're
offering
pcr
tests.
So
we've
got
the
mandela
center.
We've
got
the
griffin
center
and
cinder
moor.
F
I
was
at
cinderella
yesterday
and
we've
had
quite
a
bit
of
publicity
around
that
it's
been
taken
quite
well
from
local
residents
and
and
ultimately
we're
encouraging
everybody
to
to
do
their
part
and
get
tested.
They
may
well
be
carrying
the
virus
and
maybe
asymptomatic,
and
that's
one
way
for
us
to
to
to
combat
it.
But
of
course
the
the
key
thing
is
the
vaccination
and
we
need
to
get
people
vaccinated.
F
Also
earlier
in
the
week
on
monday,
the
bilal
center
was
opened
to
to
cross
the
city
from
10
00
10
o'clock
in
the
morning
to
5
pm
for
anybody
who
was
over
the
age
of
18
to
get
vaccinated
and
just
hearing
anecdotally
a
brilliant
response
to
that,
and
so
we're
keeping
an
eye
on
things.
And
then
I
think,
I'm
sure
victoria
probably
may
well
come
in
on
this.
F
B
Thank
you,
council
carter,
I'll,
make
sure
everybody
involved
in.
I
think
it
does
cover
the
breadth
of
work.
The
breadth
of
work
that's
going
on.
So
if
we're
all
happy
to
agree
the
agree,
the
recommendations
we'll
now
move
on
to
council
cooper's
paper,
please
and
item
15.
K
Yeah,
thank
you
leader
out
of
15
is
the
financial
performance
and
the
out
turn
of
the
financial
year.
It
ended
in
the
31st
of
march
2021.
K
K
We're
also
able
to
use
the
one
point
mil
1
million
underspend
to
put
into
our
reserves,
which
is
a
much
needed
addition
to
our
reserve
position,
I'll
leave
it
there
chair
for
any
questions
from
from
any
members.
Yes,.
D
It's
some
light
at
the
end
of
this
particular
tunnel.
D
Clearly,
the
council
is
not
in
as
difficult
to
state
as
it
could
have
been
financially,
and
I
wonder
whether
that
is
going
to
result
in
you
perhaps
having
a
look
at
the
staffing
situation
in
certain
departments
of
the
council,
which
are
now
quite
clearly
under
very
great
strain,
particularly
public-facing
departments,
and
I
realized
we
have
to
have
a
great
care
about
that
in
terms
in
terms
of
the
medium
and
longer
term
financial
strategies,
not
getting
ourselves
back
to
where
you
were
I'd,
also
like
to
know
how
much
money
have
the
government
given
the
city
in
terms
of
coveyed
assistance,
both
directly
and
indirectly?
D
Have
we
have
we
an
answer
to
that
victoria
or
neil.
A
It's
my
case
come
on.
A
You
it's
it's
included
in
the
report
around
the
amount
of
funding.
That's
that's
available
from
central
government.
We
we
actually
received
72.2
million
for
the
expenditure
and
for
the
loss
of
income.
We
received
27.4
million.
G
Thanks
chair
I'd
just
like
to
endorse
council
carter's
comments
about
recruitment
in
customer,
focused
departments,
I'm
not
sure
if
I
need
to
shout
over
the
sound
of
the
helicopter,
so
I
won't
in
particular
the
difficulty
in
performance
we've
seen
in
planning
the
difficulty
that
ward
members
have
had
in
taking
forward
ward-based
highway
schemes
when
so
many
highways
officers
are
tied
up
with
city
center
investment
and
also,
of
course,
to
look
at
the
parks
teams
which
are
under
pressure,
which
I
mentioned
earlier,
and
secondly,
of
course,
has
the
has
the
administration
considered
given
the
much
more
positive
financial
situation
that
they
find
themselves
in
in
reviewing
some
of
their
budget
decisions,
which
they
said
they
did
with
a
heavy
heart
to
reconsider
them
and
perhaps
put
them
back
into
their
current
budget.
B
Thank
you.
My
reading
of
this
paper
isn't
that,
even
though
we've
avoided
the
catastrophe
we're
not
in
a
a
a
positive
position,
you
know
the
austerity
that
started
under
the
conservative
lib
dem
coalition
has
certainly
not
gone
away,
and
I
would
and-
and
although
things
haven't
been
as
bad
as
we
were
predicting
some
months
ago,
I
won't
necessarily
describe
the
financial
position
as
positive
council
cooper.
Would
you
like
to
sum
up
on
this
paper?
Please
yeah.
K
Thank
you,
leader
and,
and
all
your
comments
will
be
taken
into
account
when
setting
the
budget
for
next
year.
In
regards
of
what's
needed
to
to
happen
in
the
city,
I
would
just
like
to
say
a
huge
thank
you
to
all
our
employees.
I
have
to
say,
and
those
in
particular
that
we
lost
during
the
year
who,
on
early
leavers
initiative,
who
did
help
us
bring
about
a
balanced
budget.
K
You
know,
so
I
just
want
to
say
a
huge
thank
you
to
them
and
look
forward
at
some
point
to
be
able
to
celebrate
the
service
that
they
gave
to
the
city
when
restrictions
allow
us
to
do
that,
but
please
rest
assured
that
we
will
be
looking
in
in
great
detail
about
setting
the
budget
for
next
year.
Thank
you,
chair.
B
K
D
It's
perhaps
as
well
to
remind
you
a
few
of
the
comments
you
just
made
that
actually
I
can
tell
you
how
much
money
the
city
has
received
from
the
government
through
kobe,
it's
600
million
pounds
plus
so
much
for
austerity,
and
I
note
on
the
treasury
management
report
that
the
mrp
situation
has
in
fact
deteriorated
slightly,
and
you
now
owe
53
million
in
interest
payments
on
mrt,
which
I
think
you
would
call
self-inflicted
austerity,
for
which
your
administration
is
entirely
and
wholly
responsible.
D
Other
than
that,
I
think
I
should
thank
the
treasury
management
team,
because
they've
done
an
extraordinary
job
in
managing
the
budget
and
managing
the
treasury
management,
and
indeed
guessing
correctly,
if
it
was
guessing,
I'm
sure
victoria
said
it
wasn't
guessing
what,
when
we
should
have
more
short-term
borrowing
and
more
long-term
borrowing,
and
on
that
subject,
have
one
point:
a
lot
of
economists.
D
A
lot
of
other
people
are
predicting
that
interest
rates
at
some
stage
in
the
short
to
medium
term
will
rise
what
safeguards,
if
any
of
you
think
we
can
take.
Given
the
extent
of
our
borrowing
to
protect
the
people
leads
from
the
worst
effects
of.
A
Thank
you.
We
have
had
a
strategy
around
the
treasury
management
on
our
borrowing
position
and
we
have
moved
away
from
having
short
term
borrowing
into
the
longer
term
and
fixed
rates
that
we
had
some
certainty,
we're
continuing
with
that
over
the
medium
terms
that
we're
projecting
forward
what
our
capital
programme
will
be
and
we're
tracking
the
relate
the
rates
very
closely
so
that
we
take
advantage
of
when
we
can
lock
in
on
those
for
the
future
and
that
and
that's
what
we're
doing
to
secure
that
position.
B
Thank
you,
victoria.
I
think
it's
worth
pointing
out
on
minimum
revenue
provision.
We've
never
seen
a
credible
plan
from
any
other
party
on
the
council
have
of
how
increased
and
higher
debt
payments
in
the
past
could
have
been
met
without
reducing
frontline
services
over
recent
years.
B
I
think
it's
worth
pointing
that
out
to
exec
board
as
as
as
as
well,
you
know,
I
don't
want
to
start
quoting
the
current
prime
minister
and
calling
people
captain
einstein,
but
certainly
you
know,
we've
never
seen
a
proposal
from
any
of
the
other
parties
on
on
on
how
that
could
have
been
dealt
with.
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
with
that,
I'm
going
to
look
at
the
I've.
B
I've
read
every
single
budget
amendment
that's
come
in
during
the
period
of
minimum
revenue
provision
and
there
was
never
an
alternative,
there's,
never
a
there
was
never
an
alternative
to
taking
to
take.
B
I've
I've
had
a
lot
of
spare
time
during
lockdown
council
carter.
I've
had
a
lot
of
spare
time
so
moving
on
to
moving
on
to
the
recommendations
on
page
390
and
I
would
recommend
anybody
starts
reading
the
old
budget
amendments
as
well
just
to
understand
the
position.
I
won't
make
that
an
additional
recommendation,
but
I
take
everybody-
is
happy
with
the
recommendations
on
this
paper.
So
I
will
move
on
to
item
17.
Please
councillor
cooper.
K
Thank
you
leader
and
thank
you
councillor,
carter,
for
your
comments
and
on
the
good
treasury
management
of
this
administration,
as
well,
so
to
move
on
to
item
17,
which
is
the
proposal
around
the
bringing
forward.
The
white
rose
railway
station
project.
K
That's
much
needed
in
the
area
of
the
city
around
ensuring
that
we've
got
good
economic
recovery,
good
employment
opportunities
and
good
facilities
for
local
residents,
and
this
paper
is
asking
for
approval
from
an
executive
board
for
a
loan
facility
to
monroe
care
to
ensure
that
that
can
take
place
I'll
leave
it.
There.
Questions.
B
B
It's
great,
so
we'll
move
on
to
item
18.
B
D
On
which
I
saw
on
in
the
next
one,
this
presentation
I
speak
very
briefly:
the
council
is
a
sociality,
that's
quite
correct,
and
the
three
people
appointed
as
trustees
are
the
three
ward
councillors
and
we
we
realized
that
the
council
has
to
take
certain
steps
in
order
to
implement
the
dawson's
corner
scheme
and
need
to
purchase
the
land.
D
D
Today,
I've
raised
them
directly
with
highways,
but
they
relate
to
a
footway
across
the
land
to
enable
people
to
have
safe
access
by
foot
onto
the
ring
road
onto
the
footpath
and
across
the
crossing
to
lead
to
a
new
pudsey
station,
which
is
essential,
and
I've
had
some
assurances
on
that,
but
I'm
going
to
pursue
it
in
a
writing
with
them.
D
But
I
would
like
to
make
one
point:
it's
a
good
job
that
I
was
reminded
of
the
new
code
of
conduct
and
I
would
strongly
suggest
that
our
legal
department
look
at
what
we've
actually
done,
because
I
realized
that
I
was
without
a
dispensation
unable
to
speak
on
this.
Although
it's
in
my
ward
and
the
trustee
appointed
by
the
council
to
the
charity,
I
get
no
financial
reward
at
all,
but
I
can't
speak
now.
D
If
you
look
around
this
table,
every
single
one
of
us
is
probably
in
a
similar
position
and
to
sign
up
to
a
code
of
conduct
that
actually
stops
an
executive
member
from
speaking,
albeit
in
this
case
on
award
matter.
I
think
we've
we've
slipped
up
somewhere,
because
I
don't
think
any
of
our
constituents
would
appreciate
us
being
in
that
position,
and
I
do
hope
that
our
legal
department
will
look
because
I
understand
we've
adopted
it
almost
wholesale.
D
B
Thank
you.
We
note
the
comments
on
the
item
and
again
the
code
of
conduct
more
than
happy
to
raise
the
points
it
was
taken
through
a
number
of
cross-party
meetings
and
forums
before
it
was
a
I'm
agreed,
but
clearly
if
it
is
causing
problems
in
practice,
I
am
happy
to
ask
for
that
to
be
looked
again
and
obviously
we
will
work
on
a
cross-party
basis
as
we
did
in
establishing
the
the
current
code
of
conduct
to
work
those
through.
So
are
there
any
more
comments
on
this
item?
B
I
know
from
your
opening
remarks
council
cast
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
that
you
you
won't
be
voting
on
this
item.
Okay,
okay,
so
I
I
look
at
the
noted
that
and
see
everybody
else
is
happy
with
that
paper.
So
we'll
move
on
to
item
19,
please,
council,
cooper.
K
Thank
you
and
just
to
take
councillor
carter's
comments
regarding
some
points
of
clarification.
K
He
wanted
from
highways
about
the
landscape
and
so
on,
and
this
is
the
kind
of
the
legal
side
that
we're
dealing
with
in
terms
of
the
disposal
and
acquisition
of
the
land,
but
actually
it
falls
within
councillor,
hayden's
portfolio
and
I'm
sure
she'll
take
those
comments
away
and
and
and
deal
with
them
councillor
carter,
so
item
19
is
the
acquisition
of
the
land
at
dawson's
corner
to
allow
the
junction
improvements
to
take
place
I'll
just
leave
it.
There
check,
I
think,
we've
been
through
it
enough.
B
Okay,
I
don't
see
anybody
commenting
so
again
for
council
cart
has
indicated
he
won't
be
voting
on
this
item
and
I
see
every
other
member
of
the
board
is
happy
with
the
recommendations
that
set
out
on
page
450.
So
we
will
agree
that
paper
and
move
on
to
item
20.
Please,
council,
cooper.
K
Thank
you,
chair,
going
not
through
these
papers
today.
So
my
next
item,
which
is
item
20,
which
is
a
annual
health
and
safety
well-being,
performance
and
assurance
report,
albeit
there
wasn't
a
report
last
year
because
we'd
just
gone
into
lockdown.
K
So
there
are
a
few
points
just
to
say
about
their
health
and
well-being
report
that
this
is
the
eighth
consecutive
year
that
there's
that
there's
been
a
reduction
in
accidents
and
no
enforcement
notices
for
the
council
and
that
all
of
their
statutory
assessments
and
surveys
have
taken
place
in
a
timely
way.
K
The
report
does
go
into
great
detail
in
that
members
will,
I'm
sure,
have
read
and
and
again
I'd
just
like
to
thank
our
teams
actually
dealing
with
this
during
a
very
challenging
year
to
ensure
that
all
our
employees
and
all
our
residents
were
were
kept
safe
in
in
such
a
difficult
way
so
I'll
leave
it.
There.
B
Thank
you,
council
cooper,
any
questions
or
comments
on
this.
Okay,
so
I'll
look
at
the
recommendations
on
page
476
and
I
see
everybody's
happy
though
so
we'll
greet
them
so
we'll
move
on
to
your
last
paper
council
cooper,
which
is
20
item
21.
K
Thank
you
chair,
and
the
last
paper
under
my
portfolio
today
is
item
21,
which
is
the
consideration
of
the
future.
Developments
regarding
addressing
and
reducing
on
street
sex
work
in
the
city,
as
members
of
the
executive
board
will
know
that
I
have
contacted
every
member
of
council
with
a
written
correspondence
around
this
paper
as
well
to
notify
them
about
this
report
and-
and
it's
also
been
widely
trailed
in
the
media
as
to
this
report
as
well,
so
I
don't
intend
to
go
into
great
detail
but
I'll
answer
any
questions
that
may
be
raised.
D
Yes,
councillor
cooper:
do
you
agree
with
this
statement?
You
will
have
seen
that
my
position
on
the
hallback
managed
area
was
very
clear.
I
don't
think
it
protected
women
and
girls.
I'm
really
pleased
that
these
have
taken
this
position
being
the
position
outlined
in
this
paper.
Do
you
agree
with
that
gas
cooper.
K
Well,
council
carter:
I
have,
as
you
know,
my
own
position
on
the
managed
approach
and
I
think
that
the
managed
approach
has
given
benefits
to
the
local
residents,
to
women
and
to
girls
and
to
safeguard
sex
workers
in
the
city
and
and
and
we
can
take
the
lessons
that
we've
learned
from
the
managed
approach
to
a
wider
strategy
in
the
city
to
enable
us
to
to
reduce
the
amount
of
sex
work
that
happens
in
the
city.
Going
forward.
D
It
was
mayor,
tracy
brabin,
in
the
answer
to
in
the
answer
to
a
question
that
was
put
to
a
by
councillor
amanda
carter
only
this
week,
so
he
only
in
2020
before
we
went
into
lockdown,
you
had
a
a
so-called
independent
study
done,
which
was
reported
to
this
board.
D
D
So
there's
no
wonder
that
things
have
inverted
commas
improved,
but
I
think
that
this
is
an
admission
that
the
whole
experiment
failed
and
that
we
should
have
come
to
this
conclusion
some
considerable
time
ago
and
and
put
in
place
a
much
broader
package
to
help
these
mainly
women
in
the
predicament
that
they
find
themselves
relating
to
drugs,
alcohol
and
various
other
sorts
of
abuse.
D
I'm
glad
that
we're
going
to
do
that
now,
but
that
leaves
the
residents
of
holbeck
now
a
lot
of
them,
as
you
well
know,
have
been
very
upset
by
what
they've
seen
and
what's
gone
on,
and
I
think
one
of
the
big
problems
from
the
start
was
that
certainly-
and
I
won't
attach
this
to
you-
but
certainly
to
your
former
leader-
it
was
sort
of
a
badge
of
honor,
a
badge
of
courage
that
she
blaze
and
all
around
the
countryside
and
beyond
that
we
were
the
only
city
to
have
a
red
light
managed
zone
without
ever
asking
yourself
the
question
of.
D
Why
we're
the
only
city
and
that's,
of
course,
because
it's
extremely
difficult
to
tackle-
and
I
accept
that-
and
I
accept
to
that-
you
tried,
but
we
are,
to
a
large
extent
back
to
square
one,
and
I
would
look.
I
will
look
forward
to
more
details
coming
forth
on
how
you
propose
to
tackle
the
problem
now
without
ending
without
ending
up
with
other
communities
in
the
same
state.
D
K
Yes,
please
leader,
I
think
it's
important
to
remember
why
the
managed
approach
was
introduced
in
the
first
place
and
that
was
to
to
tackle
the
high
number
of
sex
workers
who
were
operating
in
the
holbeck
area
for
and
historically
that.
That
has
been
the
area
that
that
sex
workers
were
were
operating.
K
The
reasons
that
we
brought
introduced,
the
managed
approach
really
was
to
reduce
street-based
sex
work
were
to
reduce
the
problems
caused
to
residents
and
businesses
by
street-based
sex
work
and
to
help
sex
workers
to
exit
that
way
of
life
and
and
in
2018
there
was
an
enhanced
model
brought
in
in
terms
of
designated
resources
that
were
brought
in
around
policing
cleansing
and
support
for
sex
workers
within
the
managed
approach
and
for
residents
also
within
who
were
affected
by
the
managed
approach.
K
But
in
march
2020.
Of
course,
we
all
know
that
the
lockdown
occurred,
the
pandemic
hitters
and
the
lockdown
occurred,
and
so
we
had
to
stop
the
managed
approach
because
of
the
government
restrictions
on
being
out
of
the
house
and
social
distancing
and
and
everything
else.
So
we
had
to
stop.
K
They
managed
approach
operating
then,
but
what
we
didn't
stop
was
the
support
that
we
gave
and
the
dedicated
resources
that
we
gave
to
the
local
community
and
to
the
sex
workers
in
holbeck
at
the
time
and
it's
because
of
those
packages
of
support
that
that
we've
seen
a
huge
reduction
in
on-street
sex
work,
as
well
as
the
impact
of
the
pandemic.
K
But
it's
through
that
support
and
the
paper,
if
you
read
it,
shows
you
some
of
the
some
of
the
case
studies
that
we've
had
as
well
of
women
who
have
been
helped
through
that
support
and
and
unable
to
find
a
better
route
than
on-street
sex
working.
And
so
so.
I
do
think
that,
within
a
changed
world,
the
independent
review
you're
right,
we
did
have
an
independent
review
and
the
recommendations
we
have
been
working
through
since
that
independent
review
through
safer,
leads
and
through
the
working
groups
within
safer,
leads
as
well.
K
We
also
listened
to
a
listening,
well
report
that
came
from
local
residents
in
holbeck
who
erased
some
some
issues
and
concerns,
and
we
always
said
that
the
approach
would
be
evolving
and
that
it
would
always
listen
to
what
residents
wanted
into
what
was
happening
on
the
ground
and
always
adapt
as
best
as
we
could
within
the
restraints
of
the
managed
approach,
and
I
think
we're
now
at
a
point
in
time,
which
is
why
I've
brought
this
paper
to
executive
board
and
it's
for
endorsement
because
it
will
be
going
to
say
for
leads
for
the
decision.
K
It's
not
executive.
Bob
that
make
the
decision
safer
leads
will
be
making
that
decision
that
actually
through
through
all
the
efforts
we've
made
and
for
the
changing
circumstances
that
we're
now
at
a
point
that
we
can
cease
to
operate
the
managed
approach
in
the
way
that
it's
been
done.
But
we
can
evolve
our
approach
to
a
city-wide
strategy
to
deal
with
and
manage
sex
work
in
that
way
on
a
city-wide,
and
I
look
forward
to
sharing
that
work
with
you
and
council
amanda
carter
as
well.
Thank
you,
chair.
G
Thanks
chair,
I
feel
very
uncomfortable
and
I
felt
it
during
the
merrill
campaign
actually
when
the
manage
zone
was
used
politically
as
a
campaigning
tool,
and
I
never
raised
it.
But
in
my
candidacy
and
thankfully
I
was
never
asked
to
to
comment
on
it
either.
I
think
the
council,
in
its
innovative
approach
to
tackling
prostitution
in
the
city,
was
brave
and
it
was
forward-looking
and
it
tried
something
and
the
little
democrat
group
were
fully
behind
that
experiment.
G
It
is
with
regret
that,
as
that
experiment
progressed
that
we
realized
that
the
commitment
to
investment
in
the
management
that
was
needed
to
make
it
work
wasn't
there
from
whichever
part
of
the
partnership
that
we're
talking
about
and
that
it
clearly
wasn't
working
for
the
community
that
that
was
in
it.
We
didn't
campaign
on
it,
though
we
just
basically
made
our
views
known
to
the
administration
because
they're
in
a
very
difficult
position
and
this
paper.
G
I
welcome
that.
The
council
has
come
to
a
conclusion,
but
from
the
very
title
of
the
paper
itself,
it's
a
very
confused
conclusion
that
the
council
has
come
to
because
it
it
assures
us
that
all
the
support
that
we
want
to
see
for
women
who
are
exploited
and,
let's,
let's
not
forget
this
street
work-
is
in
the
in
the
vast
majority
of
cases,
a
case
of
exploitation
of
women
through
the
trade
of
sex.
G
I
appreciate
that
there
are
other
sex
workers
that
do
it
voluntarily,
but
generally
that
is
done
in
a
different
format
and
it's
the
very
vulnerability
of
the
people
involved
at
this
stage,
which
merited
the
attempt,
a
managed
approach
from
the
council.
So
I'm
not
going
to
congratulate
campaigners
who've
gone
against
the
managed
zone
for
a
victory
in
this
one,
and
I
I
accept
it
with
regret.
G
That
is
a
positive
to
the
managed
zone
to
enable
that
work
to
happen
with
women
that
are
being
exploited
successfully,
because
I've
had
correspondence,
and
I
know
that
councilor
carter
will
have
and
so
and
as
has
everybody
else,
from
people
who
are
concerned
from
organizations
such
as
basis
which
in
this
paper
implies,
you
know,
they're
still
going
to
get
the
same
support
as
they
always
have,
but
they're
offering
concerns
that
they
won't
be
able
to
operate
in
the
same
way
under
a
new
regime.
So
I
don't
think
this
is
the
end
of
the
subject.
G
K
Thank
you,
and
we
also
have
james
rogers
and
paul
money
in
the
room
if
they
would
like
to
come
in
and
comment
on
anything
that
you've
heard
from
members,
but
I
would
just
say
before
I
invite
them
to
do
so
and
that,
as
in
my
response
to
councillor
carter,
that
this
was
never
a
static
position
and
it
was
always
an
evolving
approach
and
we
were
always
on
a
learning
test
and
learning
and
finding
out
where
what
worked
and
what
didn't
work
and
and
from
that
position
now
we're
able
to
evolve
it
to
not
just
on
street
based
sex
work,
but
more
sex
work.
K
That's
happening
in
the
city
generally
to
a
strategy
around
that
and
again,
you
know
I'm
more
than
happy
to
share
that
strategy.
When
that
comes
out,
it's
not
the
end
of
the
story,
and
it's
not
something.
You
know
that
I
and
standing
up
and
celebrating.
K
I
have
to
say,
because
I
think
the
efforts
that
have
gone
in
from
all
our
partners,
from
the
police,
from
local
residents,
from
local
third
sector
organizations
and
from
our
own
members
of
of
late
city
council
on
offices
have
have
gone
to
great
lengths
to
to
ensure
that
actually,
what
was
what
was
happening
at
the
managed
approach
was
dealt
with
appropriately
and
properly,
and
I
thank
them
for
all
that
work.
K
L
Thank
you,
council,
cooper,
I'll,
be
relatively
brief
and
then
I'll
I'll
and
over
to
paul
just
to
go
into
a
bit
more
detail
on
one
particular,
which
I
think
is
important.
I
think,
as
council
cooper
said,
this
clearly
is
a
challenging
issue
that
all
large
uk
cities
have
a
a
a
challenge
in
dealing
with,
and
we've
had
a
particular
approach
in
leeds
the
last
few
years
which
we're
all
well
aware
of
and-
and
this
as
counsel
said,
isn't
the
end
of
any
particular
issue.
L
J
Thank
you,
chair
thanks
james
yeah.
I
think
just
just
just
just
by
way
of
starting
this,
the
the
the
context
in
which
this
type
of
sex
work
is
playing
out
now
in
the
in
the
area
where
we've,
where,
where
we've
got
it
in
south
lakes,
is
very
very
different
from
what
we,
what
we
had
in
2014
and
just
before
that,
and
the
approach
is
just
before
that,
of
course,
in
terms
of
the
response
to
this
issue,
were
heavily
reliant
upon
enforcement
action.
J
What
we've?
What
we've
learned
as
this
process
has
evolved
as
council
of
cooper
has
taught
through
there
are
our
you
know,
significantly
improved
ways
of
addressing
some
of
the
key
issues
and
the
key
issues
in
terms
of
managing
the
managing
on-street
sex
work
in
holbeck
have
been
significantly
responded
to
in
terms
of
the
sex
workers,
who
are
a
very
vulnerable
group
of
individuals.
J
J
It
very
much
is
a
joined
up,
multi-agency
collegiate
response
to
addressing
the
issues
and
we're
reassured,
and
we
are
encouraged
by
the
significant
improvements
that
have
taken
place
over
the
last
few
years
that
we
intend
to
build
on.
J
D
Yeah
council
got
made
a
point
that
I
think
needs
picking
up.
You'll
recall
that
when
the
proposal
for
this
trial
originally
was
brought
forward,
all
I
can
recall
it.
Certainly
the
democrats
and
the
conservatives
voted
in
favour
of
the
trial,
so
it's
unfair
to
suggest
that
we
are
somehow
going
back
on
what
was
originally
said,
but
the
member
who
was
the
cabinet
member
then
councillor
dobson,
who
who
introduced
the
scheme
and
drove
it
through
now
the
leader
of
gothic
independence.
D
D
I
have
to
say
I
will
look
forward
to
being
able
to
support
a
wider
strategy
that
certainly
doesn't
involve
inflicting
upon
groups
of
of
our
residents.
D
The
sort
of
things
they've
had
to
put
up
with
for
too
long,
some
of
which
were
addressed
you're
quite
right,
but
it
took
one
hell
of
a
long
time
to
do
it
and
also
the
package
of
support
we're
giving
to
some
very
vulnerable
and
often
very
young
girls.
K
Thank
you
and,
of
course
it
would
be
no
surprise
to
you
that
I
disagree
with
councillor
carter's
last
comments.
I
have
to
say
I
think
we've
learned
a
great
deal
from
the
managed
approach
from
its
inception
to
to
the
to
the
end
and
to
its
evolving
now
into
a
city-wide
strategy.
K
I
think
some
of
your
comments
around
that
it's
it's
been
damaging
to
young
women
and
to
local
residents.
I
also
would
disagree
with
many
of
them.
We
have
taken
as
an
administration,
their
their
concerns
and
their
views
very
seriously
over
the
years.
Certainly,
since
I
have
been
the
exec
board
member
with
responsibility
for
for
community
safety,
and
we
have
listened
very
closely
to
what
they
have
had
to
say
and
adapted
as
we've
gone
along.
This
is
not
the
the
first
adaption.
It's
not
the
first
change.
K
Since
I've
been
executive
board
member
around
the
managed
approach,
we
have
tried
to
evolve
it
to
suit
everybody's
needs
going
forward,
and
I
think
that
that
we've
done
that
you
know
in
a
way
that
has
been
supportive
of
the
sex
workers.
It's
been
supportive
of
local
residents
needs
and
local
businesses
in
in
every
way,
as
I've
said
that
is
possible.
So
I
entirely
disagree
with
your
last
comments.
Counselor
carter.
B
Okay-
and
I
recognize
obviously
both
everybody-
that's
spoken
on-
this
is
recognized
that
this
is
a
difficult
and
challenging
issue
and
I'm
sure
we
will
be
working
working
on
supporting
everybody
who
is
at
risk
of
harm,
and
that
will
be
the
focus
of
our
work
moving
forward.
So
I'm
going
to
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
488
and
seek
approval
from
the
board,
and
I
see
everybody
is
happy
with
those
recommendations.
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
Good
afternoon
everybody
we
are
for
this
meeting
during
the
current
restrictions
we
had
to
like
a
football
game,
do
it
in
two
halves
with
half
time
so
welcome
back
to
the
second
half.
I
don't
think
we've
got
any
substitutes
here,
so
we
will
make
a
start.
So
we
are
on
to
council
of
eners
portfolio
and
item
22..
So
could
I
ask
councillor
bennett
to
introduce
this
item?
Please.
I
I
I
Half
of
this
is
directly
attributable
to
covid
and
half
is
the
result
of
11
years
of
austerity
and
cuts
to
local
government
funding.
Despite
this,
children's
and
adult
social
care
has
been
protected
in
the
funding
cuts.
The
council
has
had
to
make
and
now
represents
almost
70
percent
of
our
expenditure
up
from
45
in
2010
and,
of
course,
a
major
context
for
this
is
the
utter
failure
of
the
government
to
adequately
fund
social
care.
I
I
I
I
If
we
do
not
close
richmond
house
or
homely
house,
the
funding
would
the
saving
would
need
to
come
from
elsewhere
in
adult
social
care,
when
other
parts
of
the
directorate
are
under
increased
demand.
For
example,
there
is
hugely
increased
demand
at
the
front
door
of
adult
social
care,
as
the
fallout
from
the
pandemic
becomes
felt
and
with
regard
to
older
people,
we
have
become
aware
of
thousands
of
older
people
living
on
their
own
in
leeds
in
the
community.
I
Who've
lost
a
huge
amount
of
confidence
and
mobility
as
a
result
of
the
last
15
months,
and
we
are
likely
to
need
to
invest
significantly
more
supporting
older
people
in
the
community.
This
proposal
does
not
reflect
a
wider
disinvestment
in
social
care
either.
We
are
currently
investing
significant
funding
in
both
adults
and
children's
social
care
to
build
two
new
residential
homes,
one
for
adults,
one
for
children
with
complex
medical
needs,
disabilities
and
learning
disabilities.
I
Neither
of
these
sites,
richmond
house
and
home
lie
house
are
big
enough
for
extra
care
housing,
which
would
have
been
our
first
choice
for
how
the
sites
would
be
used.
But
if
this
is
approved,
they
are
going
to
be
used
for
housing
in
roswell
ward.
It
would
be
general
needs.
Social
housing
and
the
plan
for
the
richmond
house
site
is
that
it
will
be
designated
for
older
people-specific
social
housing.
I
I
Richmond
house
did
not
attract
the
same
level
of
objections
that,
as
it
is
not
people's
home.
The
most
heartfelt
objections
are
from
people
who
use
the
home
for
respite
and
we
are
committed
to
finding
other
respite
options
for
carers,
who
rely
on
richmond
house
to
be
able
to
continue
to
care
for
people
at
home.
I
The
closest
community
care
bed
service
is
green,
lane
intermediate
care
center
in
army,
which
is
5.5
miles
from
richmond
house,
and
there
are
an
additional
27
homes
within
a
five
mile
radius
where
respite
care
can
be
spot
purchased.
There
are
also
other
respect
care
options,
such
as
shared
lives,
as
outlined
in
the
introduction.
I've
read
all
the
objections
from
families
of
people
in
homely
house
and
from
residents
themselves,
and
this
really
is
not
a
proposal
we
will
be
putting
forward
if
we
had
other
options
or
nowhere
else
for
people
to
live.
I
The
proposal
to
close
this
home
is
not
a
reflection
on
the
quality
of
care
in
the
home,
which
has
a
good
rating
overall
with
an
outstanding
rating
for
care,
but
it
is
not
the
bricks
and
mortar
that
make
the
care
outstanding,
but
the
staff
who
would
hope
to
retain
in
the
directorate
as
outlined.
There
are
also
10
good
and
outstanding
homes
within
a
5.5
mile
radius
of
the
home,
and,
as
I
said,
this
includes
dolphin
manor
in
the
same
ward,
which
has
14
current
vacancies.
I
There
are
also
good
and
outstanding
homes
within
a
five
mile
radius
of
next
of
kin
addresses.
Should
residents
choose
to
move
near
a
next
of
kin
and
our
plan
for
this
site
is
the
creation
of
much
needed
social
housing
for
the
area.
I'll
leave
my
comments
there
chair
and
take
any
questions.
Thank
you.
B
D
Comments
really
300
pages,
300
pages
to
reinforce
a
decision
you
took
long
ago.
D
D
I'm
sure
that
council
galton
will
be
speaking
in
connection
with
the
home
in
his
ward,
and
I'm
certainly
just
going
to
speak
briefly
as
regards
richmond
house,
because
I've
said
it
so
many
times
before.
This
is
not
the
first
time
the
council
has
tried
to
close
richmond
house.
D
I
question
how
robust
the
discussion
has
been
with
the
nhs
to
keep
it
open.
It's
certainly
much
valued,
which
is
witnessed
not
only
by
the
comments
made,
but
also
by
the
people
who
contacted
me
directly
and
and
via
the
local
facebook
pages.
D
So
I
I
think
the
decision's
wrong.
I
think
the
timing
is
appalling.
Just
before
the
end
of
lockdown
and
to
quote
occupation
figures
during
14
months
of
lockdown,
I
think,
is
significantly
misleading.
D
I
would
want
to
see
some
very
firm
evidence
that
that's
the
case,
because
I
suppose,
if
you
and
I
suspect
you
will,
despite
my
objections-
vote
to
close
it
extra
care,
housing
would
have
been
the
next
best
option,
but
for
general
older
people's
housing.
That
is
massively
disappointing
and
needs
to
be.
I
think
looked
at
very
seriously
again
and
as
a
ward
member,
I
should
be
writing
to
both
the
director
of
housing
and
the
director
of
social
care
on
that
on
that
subject.
D
B
I
Just
make
a
couple
of
points:
it
is
300
pages
and
I've.
I
have
I've,
read
them
all.
I've
read
them
all
very
very
thoroughly
and
the
reason
we
came
to
the
same
conclusion
is
because,
as
I've
pointed
out
at
the
beginning,
the
two
contexts
of
this
are
the
financial
savings
that
we
have
to
make
in
adult
social
care,
combined
with
the
decline
in
demand,
and
we
haven't
just
based
the
figures
on:
what's
happened
during
lockdown,
the
figure
I
quoted
of
55
average
occupancy
goes
back
to
2018,
to
19.
I
we're
having
very
robust
conversations
with
the
nhs
across
adults
on
children's
social
care
and
have
been
doing
for
the
last
couple
of
years
around
around
joint
investment.
But
actually
the
reason
this
has
been
looked
at
before
is
because
it
hasn't
been
viable
since
the
nhs
decommissioned
it
because
they
wanted
to
provide
community
rehab
in
a
different
way
and
we
are
committed
to
using
both
sites
for
social
housing,
and
neither
site
is
big
enough
for
extra
care
housing,
which
would
have
been
our
first
choice.
I
That's
there's
not
a
philosophical
reason:
we're
not
choosing
extra
care
housing
they're,
not
big
enough,
but
we
do
recognize
that
there
is
a
need
in
your
ward
council
can't
afford
housing
for
older
people,
which
is
why
we've
committed
that
that's
what
that
site
will
be
for.
Thank
you.
I
don't
know
if
catholics
only
want
to
add
anything.
E
Just
a
couple
of
points
to
add,
I
think
it
is
really
important
too
important
to
undertake
consultation.
We
do
occasionally
come
back
with
different
recommendations
and
I
I
would
remind
executive
board.
The
outcome
of
the
consultation
in
2016
was
actually
to
keep
the
green
but
turn
it
into
a
recovery
hub.
So
we
didn't
close
the
green.
E
B
G
There
are
some
real
inconsistencies
in
the
case
for
the
closure
of
these
homes,
and
I
have
some
serious
concerns
as
to
how
the
conclusion
has
come
to
that
it's
appropriate
with
councillor
vena
taking
over
a
new
portfolio
which
included
children's
social
care
alongside
adult
social
care.
G
I
did
hope
that
there
would
be
some
parity
of
esteem
that
would
be
focused
on
both
of
those
delivery
of
care,
because,
historically,
of
course,
whenever
we
have
criticized
the
administration
for
overspending
on
children's
social
care
because
of
the
model
of
how
they
deliver
it,
they
defend
it
wholeheartedly
and
say
we
have
to
put
those
children
first
and
their
interests
justify
the
extra
costs
and
the
extra
money
that
was
put
in
year
after
year
to
children's
social
care.
G
However,
when
it
comes
to
adult
social
care,
it
feels
that
when
you
get
to
the
other
end
of
the
age
spectrum
in
terms
of
vulnerability,
then
there
is
a
different
modus
operandi
and
the
reason
why
these
homes
were
put
forward
and-
and
it
was
included
in
the
original
decision,
particularly
for
homely
house-
was
well
adult.
Social
care
needs
to
take
one
for
the
team.
G
So
the
primary
focus
of
these
decisions
is
budgetary.
It
is
not
care
based,
and
that
is
the
problem.
With
this
decision
in
terms
of
the
occupancy
of
the
homes,
creative
accounting
is
very
easily
done.
I
know
that
at
the
point
that
this
decision
was
taken,
the
occupancy
of
homely
house
was
nearer
90
now,
whether
you're,
including
people
who
are
there
for
respite
with
people
who
are
there
as
permanent
residents.
I
don't
know,
but
I
know
that
it
was
a
higher
occupancy
rate
than
that
which
is
quoted
in
this
paper.
G
We
know
that
people
have
been
reticent
about
placing
relatives
in
care
homes
when
they
have
been
the
crucible
of
much
infection
of
covid
and
therefore
you
would
expect
a
lower
occupancy
in
care
homes,
and
there
is
also,
of
course,
the
issue
around
the
council
being
the
primary
referrer
to
these
care
homes,
and
if
they
are
subject
to
potential
closure,
you
are
not
going
to
be
making
permanent
placements
there.
I
would
hope
in
terms
of
their
sustainability.
G
Curiously
enough,
it
is
being
built
on
the
site
that
the
community
wished
to
have
built
a
replacement
residential
care
home
to
replace
both
dolphin
manor
and
homely
in
a
new
purpose-built
facility,
which
the
council
said
would
be
appropriate
for
future
needs.
G
If
the
council
is
saying
that
residential
care
is
in
the
past-
and
there
is
no
demand,
why
has
it
chosen
to
close
just
these
homes?
Why
is
it
not
proposing
to
close
all
of
the
ones
that
it
has
and
be
consistent
in
its
message
in
terms
of
they
are
not
needed?
We
know
as
ward
councillors
that
they
are
needed.
G
We
know
that
their
value
towards
local
people
is
the
fact
that
they
are
within
the
community
that
a
lot
of
these
people
grew
up
in
or
that
their
children,
who
are
their
primary
carers,
would
like
them
to
be
enabled
to
live
their
latter
years
in
therefore,
there's
just
so
much
to
go
at
it,
and
the
problem
is
that
the
basis
for
the
decision,
as
I've
said,
is
budgetary
and
not
care
based,
and
therefore
I
cannot
support
the
ultimate
decision
as
an
executive
board
member-
and
I
implore
you
from
the
previous
conversation
that
was
had
about
how
the
council
has
a
much
more
positive
financial
position
to
be
in
that
some
decisions
which
have
been
taken
forward
once
again,
which
supposedly
have
been
done
with
a
heavy
heart
and
involve
people
being
effectively
evicted
from
their
homes
could
be
reconsidered
to
see
if
they
could
be
affordable
going
forward.
B
Thank
you,
council
gold.
I
can't
let
the
comment
about
the
council's
financial
position
without
pass
without
saying
there
is
still
considerable
uncertainty
over
the
future
funding
of
the
council.
We
do
not
know
where
any
government
initiative
we're
on
a
one-year
financial
settlement
from
the
government.
We
do
not
know
when
any
things
that
have
been
proposed,
such
as
so-called
fair
funding,
will
go.
So
the
idea
that
the
council
is
in
a
positive
financial
position
is
not
one
I
can
accept.
B
We
still
have
a
huge
amount
of
risk
and
uncertainty
going
forward,
and
we
do
not
know
year
on
year,
where,
in
terms
of
one-off
social
care,
grants
or
indeed
the
overall
financial
settlement,
is
that's
a
a
position
we
find
ourselves
in
as
a
council,
I'm
going
to
see
whether
council
venner
would
like
to
come
back
on
any
of
those
comments
as
well.
I
Yeah,
I
I'd
start
by
challenging
on
a
financial
point
as
well,
which
is
the
input
the
suggestion
that
adults
is
somehow
being
discriminated
against
in
favor
of
children's
social
care.
I
As
I
said
in
my
in
my
introductory
comments,
adults
and
children,
social
care
are
now
nearly
70
percent
of
our
expenditure,
but
adult
subscriber
is
by
far
the
bigger
chunk
of
those
two
more
money
is
spent
on
adult
social
care
you
know
than
and
then
than
any
other
director,
as
a
percentage
of
of
overall
council
spent
and
both
have
been
protected
in
the
cuts
that
we've
had
to
make,
because
as
a
labour
administration,
that
the
care
of
children
and
the
care
of
older
people
and
other
people
who
have
care
needs
is
our
priority
and
it
is
not
only
a
budgetary
decision.
I
The
other
context
is
the
decline
in
demand
for
care
homes.
That's
the
reality,
and
it
was
a
reality
before
the
pandemic.
There's
an
increase
in
people
being
supported
in
their
own
homes
in
the
community
and
a
decline
in
the
number
of
people
living
in
care
homes
and
the
numbers
that
council
gilton
challenged
are
current.
The
occupancy
rates
that
I
gave
are
the
current
ones.
I
Well,
it's
in
this
paper
and
cath
has
gone
on
record
at
the
that
outer
south
community
is
saying
it
would
be
her
professional
advice
that
we
do
not
close
any
more
care
homes
and
we've
we've
actually
put
that
in
this
paper
that
we're
committed
to
keeping
the
remaining
ones
that
we've
got.
We
do
want
to
keep
being
a
provider
while
there
is
while
there
is
a
demand
for
some
care
homes,
and
we
want
to
give
people
the
option
of
being
able
to
be
in
a
council
care
home
as
a
specific
provider.
I
And
we
have
made
that
commitment
and
go
back
to
the
comment
you
you
made
leader
at
the
beginning.
The
council
is
in
a
precarious
position
and
so
is
adult
social
care
and
we
are
likely
to
have
to
spend
additional
money
on
the
front
door
and
on
supporting
older
people
living
in
the
community
and,
as
I
said
in
my
introductory
comments,
if
we
don't
make
these
savings
by
closing
richmond
house
and
homely
house,
they
will
have
to
come
out
somewhere
else
in
adult
social
care
which,
unlike
care,
homes,
are
under
increased,
increased
demand.
D
Two
points:
the
first
one
in
particular
about
richmond
house
is
a
respite
care
home
and
council
galton
outlined
people
who
would
be
visiting
their
loved
ones
in
these
homes,
but
he
omitted
partners
and
of
course,
in
the
case
of
respite
care,
it
is
usually
a
partner
who
is
admitted
for
a
short
period
of
time
to
give
their
other
half
male
or
female
a
break,
but
they
are
able
because
of
the
close
proximity
to
visit.
D
Now
those
are
the
people
and
you
have
to
say
that
you
do
wonder
whether
we're
giving
this
enough
importance,
but
I
personally
give
it
great
importance
and
by
closing
richmond
house,
that
facility
will
be
taken
away
and
to
say
the
site
is
too
small
for
supported
housing,
specialist
housing.
Well,
I
don't
accept
that.
D
I
just
think
that
to
be
polite
to
the
office
is
just
an
easy
way
of
not
bothering
to
do
the
rest
of
the
work
and
that's
not
necessarily
your
fault,
it's
it
could
be
housing's
fault
and
probably
is,
but
I'm
getting
a
bit
sick
of
the
answer
being
no
all
the
time.
D
D
I
don't
think
it's
good
for
my
constituents.
I
don't
think
it's
good
for
west
leads
again
and
I
have
to
say
I
agree
with
what
stewart
said
about
the
home
in
his
his
own
ward,
which
I'm
not
an
expert
on.
So
I
wouldn't
contradict
him,
and
I
do
hope
you
will
you
reconsider
this
yet
again,
but
certainly
general
older
people's
housing?
D
D
So
I
think
you
need
to
do
some
more
work
on
this,
but
I
am
not
going
to
vote
in
favor
of
it.
For
the
obvious
reasons.
E
Yeah,
just
to
I
suppose,
reinforce
the
point
council
card
has
made
about
people
wanting
to
be
close
to
the
care
home
that
their
loved
one
is
having
a
short
break.
That
was
exactly
the
challenge
for
richmond
house
being
a
city-wide
resource.
E
People
from
other
parts
of
the
city
did
not
want
to
travel
all
that
way
to
richmond
house
for
a
short
break.
So
when
we
looked
at
who
has
been
using
richmond
house
over
the
past
three
years
of
the
196
admissions,
only
11
people
were
from
farsley,
so
I
think
positioning
it
as
a
local
resource
for
local
people
doesn't
really
stand
up
when
you
scrutinize,
just
where
people
came
from
and
that's
one
of
the
challenges
around
the
low
occupancy.
D
The
geography
of
the
area
is
perhaps
a
play
here,
because
100
yards
away,
you're
in
stunningly
100
yards
away,
you're
in
putsy
and
when
you
say
fastly
people
to
get
to
know
the
proper
user
you'd
have
to
go
through
all
the
people.
Who'd
stayed
there
and
you'd
have
to
include
on
among
them
residents
of
stellingly
and
residents
of
pudsey.
E
B
B
I
noted
during
the
conversation
about
this
paper
that
both
council,
gold
and
council
carter
indicated
they
were
reserving
their
positions.
So
I
take
that
still
the
case
they
are
both
against.
I
will
see
everybody
else
is
happy
with
this
paper,
so
we've
agreed
the
conclusions
and
the
recommendations
and
council
venner
can
move
on
to
item
23.
Please.
I
Chair,
if
you
don't
mind,
I
did
just
want
to
say,
as
a
final
comment,
just
to
reiterate
that
this
isn't
a
proposal
we've
come
to
lightly,
and
my
last
comments
I
would
want
to
make
would
be
reassurance
for
residents
who
live
in
homely
house
and
their
families.
As
I
said
at
the
beginning,
you
know
all
moves
will
be
done
by
experienced
social
workers.
I
You
know
with
compassion
with
their
involvement
and
similarly
with
people
who
rely
on
which
richmond
house
for
respite,
we
will
work
with
them
to
make
sure
that
we
find
alternatives
that
provide
the
respite
that
they
need.
I'm
I'm
we're
committed
to
working
with
the
staff
and
trade
unions
around
redeployment
of
staff.
Thank
you
I'll
move
on
to
my
next
report
now
leader.
So
this
is
the
update
report
on
thrive,
which
is
our
child
poverty
strategy
and
we
agreed
to
report
on
this
six
monthly.
I
This
report
is
actually
deferred
from
april,
so
it's
slightly
out
of
sync
and
to
get
back
in
the
rhythm
of
executive
board
and
scrutiny.
We'll
come
back
to
you
again
next
in
october.
The
report
asks
people
to
consider
the
child
poverty
impact
board.
Work
in
relation
to
their
own
portfolio
and
how
and
work
you
can
do
around
around
child
poverty.
I
Pre-Pandemic
35
000
children
in
leeds
lived
in
poverty,
which
was
23
of
the
child
population,
but
the
previous
children's
commissioner
anticipated
that
kovid
has
has
pushed
an
additional
300
000
children
nationally
into
poverty,
there's
currently
a
cross-party
campaign
to
retain
the
20
pound
uplift
in
universal
credit,
because
removing
that,
at
the
same
time,
that
furlough
is
ended,
will
push
more
families
into
poverty.
The
jersey,
franchi
foundation
estimate
an
additional
200
000
in
leeds
the
universal
claimant.
I
Numbers
increased
by
almost
100
in
in
leeds
last
year
and
50
000
people
in
the
city
are
currently
on
fairly,
so
we
are
potentially
heading
into
a
really
challenging
autumn,
around
poverty
and
child
poverty.
The
report
covers
the
tasks
of
each
work
stream.
The
impact
of
the
work,
the
effect
of
covid
plans
going
forward
projects
include
school,
uniform
reuse,
tackling
gambling
related
harm,
maximizing
the
incomes
of
family
employability,
schemes
and
poverty
proofing,
social
work
practice
and
I've
said
this
many
times.
I
I
think,
every
time
I've
spoken
about
child
poverty,
it's
very
frustrating
that
we
don't
as
a
council,
control
the
levers
to
lift
children
out
of
poverty,
but
we
do
have
a
responsibility
to
ameliorate
the
impact
as
far
as
we
can,
and
the
report
outlines
how
we're
doing
that.
Thank
you,
chair.
G
Thanks
chair,
I
was
so
I'm
flicking
through
the
the
ipads
trying
to
find
the
right
page,
it's
harder
than
with
paper.
It
was
about
the
priorities
that
there
are
at
the
beginning
of
the
paper,
because
I'm
just
wondering
how
the
experience
of
covid
has
helped
to
colour.
G
What
our
approach
is,
because
I've
made
previous
comments
before
about
how
we're
very
good
at
giving
the
prognosis,
but
we're
not
very
good
at
providing
and
evaluating
the
treatment
that
we
deliver
as
a
city
in
terms
of
interventions-
and
I
was
just
trying
to
find-
there
was
one
that
was
about.
G
Sorry,
there
were
five
priorities
that
were
spelled
out.
Somebody
who
is
producing
the
paper
might
be
able
to
find
them
for
me,
but
one
of
them
in
particular,
was
about
enabling
educational
achievement
and
enabling
families
to
enable
that
to
happen.
Now
one
of
the
big
things
under
covered
was
the
fact
that
we
had
a
lot
of
children
that
were
in
homeschooling,
which
is
something
which
is
far
easier
to
achieve.
G
If
you
have
the
time-
and
you
also
have
the
education
to
deliver
it,
and
there
are
quite
a
few
families-
and
I
know
that
they
exist
in
my
ward
at
least
so
they're
going
to
be
existing
elsewhere
in
greater
number
two
who
have
very
limited
numeracy
and
literacy
due
to
their
own
educational
experience,
and
that
means
that
their
children
generationally
also
aren't
able
to
be
helped
in
as
good
a
way
as
other
parents,
because
the
the
parents,
with
the
limited
educational
skills,
have
less
confidence
to
do
so.
G
So
I
was
hoping
that
we
would
have
something
in
this
which
recognized
that
experience
over
the
past
18
months
and
that
we
would
have
some
kind
of
program
that
we
ourselves
had
thought
of
initiating,
as
opposed
to
waiting
for
the
government
to
decide
what
their
response
was
going
to
be
to
leveling
up
the
outcomes
of
those
children
that
have
fallen
behind
during
covid,
because
obviously
we
have
responsibility
for
us
for
ourselves
in
our
city.
So
where
would
I
find
that
in
that,
in
this
paper.
I
I'm
I'm
gonna
answer
first
and
then
I'll
pass
over
to
julie.
If
you
want
to
add
additional
comments,
julie
now
leads
on
this
work.
From
a
senior
officer
level.
We
did
have
a
workshop
recently
of
the
child
poverty
impact
board.
To
look
specifically
at
the
issue.
I
Council
of
golden
has
raised
around
the
context
of
covid
and
whether
the
priorities
that
we
had
remained
the
right
ones,
and
we
came
to
the
view
that
they
were
still
the
right
priorities
which,
as
cancer
galton
said,
includes
readiness
for
learning
and
achieving
all
levels
of
learning.
The.
I
What
we
felt
was
missing
that
had
been
very
highlighted
by
the
pandemic,
and
so
will
be
added
into
our
future
work
is
that
the
pandemic
very
much
highlighted
inequality
in
relation
to
green
space
for
children
and
young
people,
I
mean
in
my
own
ward,
there
are
seven
high-rise,
high-rises
and
all
of
them
have
children
and
so
they're
examples
of
housing
where
there's
not
a
garden
and
not
always
being
very
near
a
park.
I
M
Thank
you,
councillor,
lewis,
and
yes,
so
when
we
have
looked
at
the
priority
in
relation
to
readiness
for
learning,
there
is
a
lot
of
activity
that
goes
on
to
support
parents
and,
I
think,
within
the
directorate
within
the
council,
that
is
about
us.
Taking
that
think
family
approach,
so
recognizing
the
need
to
support
parents
and
carers.
M
M
In
addition
to
that,
I
think
within
the
3a
strategy,
it
is
about
this
being
everybody's
business,
so
our
early
health
practitioners,
our
social
workers
and
you
know
right
across
the
directorate
when
they
are
working
when
they
have
those
key
relationships
with
families.
It
very
much
is
about
supporting
the
parents
and
the
carers,
and
essentially
the
start
to
that
is
building
those
trust
in
relationships.
We
have
had
examples
where
we
have
had
parents
who
have
attended
children's
centres
and
who
actually
haven't
wanted
or
felt
able
to
contribute
to.
M
Children's
learning,
in
terms
of
you
know,
writing
in
journals,
writing
in
daily
journals
and
it's
a
key
feature
of
our
services
to
engage
to
build
those
trusted
relationships
so
that
parents
and
carers
actually
feel
able
to
share
that
with
us
and
to
share
the
concerns
and
actually
to
share
to
share.
Perhaps
their
own
needs
around
literacy
and
other
areas.
So
it
absolutely
is
a
golden
thread
that
runs
throughout
that
priority.
M
G
Yes,
thank
you
chair.
Sorry,
I
was
couldn't
get
your
attention
earlier.
Can
I
therefore
suggest,
since
I
can't
see
any
of
that
work
and
the
evaluation
of
it
in
this
paper,
that
we
bring
a
paper
to
the
next
executive
board,
which
specifically
focuses
on
educational
attainment
and
what
we've,
what
we've
achieved
during
the
covered
period,
in
terms
of
coming
to
conclusions
as
to
how
better
we
support
children
and
their
families.
I
I
Yes,
we
have
all
all
of
the
work
streams
demonstrate
quantifiable
impact.
You
know
whether
it's
listing
you
know
how
how
many
meals
we've
given
out
during
healthy
holidays,
how
many
period
products
we've
given
out
that
have
helped
people
engage
with
education
or
the
additional
income
that
families
have
have
got
as
a
direct
result
of
the
maximizing
income
funding
stream.
Every
single
work
stream
in
this
report
outlines
the
impact
of
the
work
with
qualitative
feedback
case.
Studies
quotes
as
well
as
outputs
of
the
work.
I
Can
I
just
stand
as
well
a
point
I've
made
before
this
report
outlines
some
of
the
outputs
that
such
as
meals
given
out
devices,
etc.
It
also
has
direct
feedback
from
children
and
from
families
about
the
impact
of
the
work
that
we
have
done
every
time.
I've
brought
this
report
counselor
golton
to
this
board.
You
have
questioned
me
on
outcomes
and
I
want
to
make
a
point
I've
made
before
that
there
is
a
moral
imperative
for
doing
this
work
so,
for
example,
with
the
healthy
holidays
program
which
feeds
children
hungry
children
during
holidays.
I
We
will
do
that
whether
or
not
it
can
demonstrate
outcomes,
because
it
is
morally
wrong.
The
children
are
hungry.
So,
while
I
feel
the
support
is
incredibly
comprehensive
in
giving
you
lots
of
facts
and
figures
about
the
work
that
we're
doing,
lots
of
direct
feedback
from
people
who've
been
impacted,
it's
also
a
moral
imperative
to
do
this
work
and
we
will
keep
doing
the
work
that
we
feel
needs
to
be
done
to
ameliorate
the
impact
of
child
poverty.
B
Thank
you,
council
vender
for
excellent
response
and
we'll
certainly
look
at
the
reporting
cycle
to
see
what
comes
back
here
to
make
sure
we
provide
the
information
that
councilor
galton
has
requested.
Are
there
any
more
comments
on
this
item?
Please
I
don't
see
any
so
I'm
going
to
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
843
and
see
if
everybody
is
happy
with
those,
and
I
see
those
are
agreed.
So
I
will
draw
the
this
meeting
to
a
close.
We've
got
the
this.
B
The
public
section
of
this
meeting
till
the
close
we've
got
a
a
small
number
of
papers
to
deal
with
on
the
below
the
line.
