A
Good

everybody
and
welcome
to
the
december

of
lead
city
council
executive
board,
welcome
everybody
in
the

people

we
get
on
to
the
agenda
just
to
say
that
councillor
andrew
carter
has
submitted
his
apologies
for
today's
meeting
and
council
allen.
Lam
is
attending
in
a
non-voting
capacity
and
councillor
jonathan
pryor
submitted
apologies
as
well,
so
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
the
move
on
to
the
agenda
gerard.
A
Are
there
any
appeals
against
refusal
of
inspection
of
documents
thanks.
B
Thanks
chair
yeah,
should
the
board
be
agreeable?
The
following
is
to
be
considered
in
private
at
the
conclusion
of
the
public
part
of
the
meeting
appendix
speed
to
item
13,
which
is
whether
it
be
high
school,
rebuild
proposals
and
business
case
designated
as
being
exempt
from
publication
and
the
appendix
to
the
late
item
of
business
entitled
west
yorkshire,
devolution
consent
to
non-transport
borrowing,
powers
designated
as
confidential.
B
A
Thank
you.
I
will
ask
board
members
if
there's
any
declaration
of
interests
I
see
there
are
none
item.
Five
is
to
agree
the
minutes
of
the
executive
board
of
the
17th
of
november,
and
I'm
going
to
take
that
that
everybody
is
happy.
So
we
move
on
to
our
first
paper
and
counselor
cooper.
Please
item
six.
C
Thank
you
leader.
First
of
my
purpose
today
is
the
financial
health
monitoring
month.
Seven,
the
position
for
us
this
month
is
just
short
of
a
million
pound
overspend
given
the
year
that
we've
had
so
far.
I
think,
actually,
that's
that's
a
remarkable
position
for
us
to
be
in,
and
especially
with
the
uncertain
situation
surrounding
covid
that
we've
been
in
throughout
that
time
as
well
and
still
find
ourselves
in
and
responding
to.
C
Although
that
I
would
say
that
we
are
expected
to
bring
in
a
balanced
budget
by
the
end
of
the
year,
but
that
is
provided
that
we
can
still
continue
to
deliver
the
rest
of
the
56.1
million
pounds
of
savings
that
is
within
that
that
that
year's
budget.
C
I
would
also
say
that
the
the
month
seven
report
just
reflects
a
position
around
the
national
employer's
final
offer
to
staff
as
well
and
I'll
leave
it.
There.
C
Thank
you
chair
item.
Seven
is
the
second
report
for
this
for
the
executive
board
around
the
revenue
savings
proposals
for
next
financial
year
first
report
came
in
in
september
and
that
brought
proposed
around
20.6
million
pounds
worth
of
savings
over
the
next
three
years.
The
report
today
adds
a
further
11.1
million
pounds
of
savings
over
the
next
three
years,
which
brings
a
total
of
31.7
million
pounds.
Worth
of
proposals
been
been
brought
to
executive
board.
C
They
are
in
the
main
business
as
usual
proposals,
with
the
exception
of
two
service
reviews.
That's
journal
leave
it
there.
D
Yep,
thank
you
chair.
Just
just
one
comment
as
you'd
expect,
we'll
save
most
of
our
comments
on
the
the
savings
and
the
budgets
for
another
day
in
another
place,
but
I
think
you'd
be
disappointed.
Council
lewis,
if
we
didn't
make
the
point
that
if
it
wasn't
for
decisions
around
mrp
and
council
borrowing
potentially
there
wouldn't
have
been
a
need
for
any
budget
reductions
at
all
this
year,.
A
A
bit
like
a
children's
cartoon
when
everybody
knows
what
everybody's
got
everybody
knows
what's
going
to
happen
in
the
end,
and
I
would
make
the
point
that
we
would
have
had
to
make
reductions
in
previous
years
and
no
political
group
on
the
council
came
up
to
an
alternative
with
that.
But
I'm
sure
we
will
rehearse
these
arguments
again
and
again
and
and
again
when
we
get
the
captain
hindsight
routine,
as
we
often
do
over
this
matter.
Council
dalton,
please.
E
Thanks
chair
opposition
leaders
do
appreciate
the
preparedness
of
the
council's
budgeting
process
and
allowing
us
to
be
involved
in
it.
E
But
when
it
comes
to
papers
such
as
this,
emphasizing
which
parts
of
the
council
will
be
expecting
to
have
contingencies
made
or
new
cuts
introduced,
it
is
good
to
have
a
consistency
about
the
reporting
and,
unfortunately,
it
doesn't
feel
like.
There
is
a
consistent
approach
to
delivering
briefings
on
whether
it
be
business
as
usual
savings
or
even
transformation
savings
between
the
different
departments.
E
I
know
that
in
this
paper
and
in
previous
papers
in
september,
adult
social
care
have
a
tendency
to
outshine
other
areas
in
terms
of
how
they
explain
what
they
intend
to
do.
Why
and
how
and
what
the
consequences
are,
and
it
feels
that
the
proposals
which
come
from
other
departments
oftentimes
are
light
touch,
and
I
I
wondered
if,
if
the
leader
and
counselor
cooper
are
doing
anything
about
trying
to
what's
the
word
level
up
the
the
response
from
the
different
departments
in
terms
of
what
they
take
into
consideration,
when
they're
making
cuts.
C
Yeah,
thank
you
leader
and,
and
thanks
for
your
comments,
and
I
have
to
say
that
you
know,
through
the
leadership
of
neil
evans
and
victoria
bradshaw,
the
discussions
around
savings.
C
I
think,
has
been
exceptional
this
year,
given
the
fact
that
we're
in
december
and
we're
at
such
a
level
to
be
able
to
bring
this
to
you
now
and
we're
already
in
september,
bringing
about
those
those
proposals
and
the
thoughts
around
that
that
I
think
that
every
director
has
played
its
part
within
that.
If
you
think
that
that
maybe
one
or
two
of
them
have
not
have
not
perhaps
given
that
kind
of
level
of
briefing
too
I'm
happy
to
arrange
for
you
to
have
that
counselor
go.
E
Just
just
to
clarify
it
wasn't
having
a
briefing
from
an
officer,
it's
putting
something
in
writing
to
show
that
all
of
the
consequences
and
mitigations
for
each
of
the
savings
has
been
taken
to
consideration.
We
do
have
an
exemplar
in
the
council
and
I
just
think
it's
useful
for
that
to
be
promoted
amongst
other
parts
of
the
council.
C
Cherry
for
me,
I
think
this
paper,
if
you
read
it
throughout
its
detail,
will
show
you
you
know
all
of
that
that
you've
just
asked
about.
Yes,
I
think
it
does
councillor
dalton
and
so
did
the
september
paper.
A
Thank
you,
council
cooper.
Are
there
any
more
comments
on
this
item?
I
will
turn
then
to
the
recommendations
on
page
65
over
onto
page
66,
and
I
take
it.
Everybody
is
happy
with
those
recommendations
which
brings
me
on
to
the
items
under
my
portfolio.
The
first
one
continues
on
from
the
last
item,
which
is
the
proposed
budget
for
the
financial
year
22
23
and
the
start
of
planning
provisional
budgets
for
the
two
subsequent
years.
A
Thank
you
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
84,
about
putting
taking
the
budget
out
for
consultation
and
noting
council
golden's
position.
I
see
the
rest
of
the
board
happy
and
we'll
now
move
on
so.
A
Had
you
had
a
vote,
you
wouldn't
have
used
it.
Yes,
we
will
yes.
Yes,
yes,
don't
worry,
don't
worry,
council
alam.
I
have
noted
that,
even
though
you
smiled,
I
didn't
take
that
as
acceptance
of
the
paper,
and
you
can
report
that
back
upstairs
so
on
to
item
onto
item
nine,
which
is
the
initial
pro
proposals
for
the
best
city
ambition
again.
This
follows
similar
to.
A
The
last
item
is
one
that
we
are
asking
executive
board
to
agree
to
go
to
consultation
on
our
approach
to
a
best
city.
Ambition
he's
been
to
executive
board
before
we're
asking
for
it
to
go
to
scrutiny
and
wider
consultation.
This
is
our
our
intention
to
build
on
a
lot
of
the
much
closer
partnership
working.
A
That's
been
developed
over
nearly
last
nearly
two
years
during
the
pandemic
to
look
about
how
we
can
work
with
partners
and
everybody
in
the
city
on
moving
forward
with
what
our
ambitions
are
overall
and
identifying
a
number
of
target
areas
to
particularly
accelerate.
We
expect
this
is
a
paper
that
goes
out
for
consultation.
A
It's
the
first
time,
we've
taken
this
approach.
I
think
it
is
one
that
is
really
positive
for
us
and
I'm
expecting
a
good
response
to
the
consultation,
both
in
terms
of
the
areas
covered
and
again
how
we
can
continue
continue
to
work
together.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
on
this
item?
D
Thank
you,
chad,
so
I
think
to
be
fair.
Actually
it
feels
like
a
step
in
the
right
direction
in
terms
of
engaging
with
people
in
terms
of
taking
it
out
to
the
wider
community,
and
I
think
previously,
probably
our
criticism
would
be.
It
was
a
top-down
ambition,
so
it
feels
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
The
assurance
we'll
be
looking
for
is
that
we
are
genuinely
going
to
take
on
board
what
people
say
in
the
city
and
that
this
is.
D
This
is
the
people's
priorities,
if
you
like
that,
are
going
to
be
put
forward
and
will
shape
the
ambition,
but
so
far
it
looks
good,
but
I
hope
it
will
follow
through.
E
Well,
I
think
that's
a
reflection
of
what
this
paper
is.
It
could
be
all
things
to
all
men
and
women,
because
it's
very
short
on
detail
and
direction,
and
I
appreciate
this
paper
says
it's
all
about
having
that
conversation
with
the
city,
but
the
administration
is
in
charge
and
people
who
are
in
charge
of
large
organizations
are
expected
to
provide
leadership
and
drive
policy
and
other
than
mentioning
the
2030
climate
change
targets
that
the
council
has
set
itself
for.
E
E
Well,
when
you
have
an
ambition,
it
generally
is
something
that
you're
able
to
articulate,
and
it
tends
to
have
you
know
a
time
scale
associated
with
it,
and
I'm
not
sure
this
actually
says
what
this
administration
hopes
to
achieve
within
the
next
five
or
within
the
next
10
years,
and
I
hope
that
as
this
process
goes
forward
because
as
you've
said,
you
want
it
to
be
open.
The
the
administration
does
say
what
it
thinks.
Its
priorities
are
in
terms
of
making
the
difference
in
this
city.
A
Thank
you
and
I
think,
draw
the
conclusion
from
council
alum
not
wanting
us
to
be
top
down
and
councillor
goldstone
is
wanting
us
to
be
more
top
down
that
at
this
point-
and
I
do
stress,
this
is
going
to
a
consultation
around
developing
the
work
and-
and
I
think
one
of
the
opportunities
but
challenges
is
working
with
partners.
It's
understanding
what
other
people's
appetite
is
to
to
work
towards
a
common
ambition.
A
I
think
we're
in
the
right
place
to
start
a
consultation,
and
I
look
forward
to
hearing
I.
I
look
forward
to
hearing
further
views
from
everybody
in
the
city
on
this.
With
that,
I'm
gonna
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
149
and
I
take
it.
Everybody
is
happy
with
those
great.
Thank
you.
It's
the
next
item
on
under
my
portfolio,
which
is
the
update
on
the
on
the
coronavirus,
pandemic
response
and
recovery
plan,
and
I
don't
need
to
remind
anybody.
A
This
has
moved
on
extremely
quickly
in
in
in
the
last
in
the
last
week,
and
we're
certainly
certainly
committed,
as
we
have
been
for
the
last
two
years,
to
work
with
the
government
with
public
sector
and
put
other
public
sector
organizations
in
the
city
and
the
whole
community
to
try
and
move
us
on
from
the
scourge
of
the
virus.
A
I
don't
think
I
don't
say
anymore
just
without
reflecting
on
the
fact
that
we
now
know
that
1
901
people
have
been
recorded
as
dying
in
covert
related
circumstances
and
clearly
in
leeds
and
and
clearly
every
one
of
those
is
a
an
individual
tragedy
for
family
friends
and
loved
ones
involved
in
that,
and
I
think
that
sort
of
underlines
why
and
why.
It's
so
important.
We
continue.
A
We
continue
to
work,
to
encourage
vaccinations
and
to
reduce
the
impact
of
the
virus
and
of
the
pandemic
on
people.
There's
been
changes
in
in
in
the
government
restrictions
which
which
are
set
out
in
there
and
given
the
prime
minister's
announcement
over
the
weekend,
I've
asked
for
a
separate
paper
on
the
vaccination
program
to
come
forward
about
how
we
can,
as
a
council
as
a
city,
support,
support
the
government
and
the
nhs's
work
to
deliver
vaccinations.
A
There's
two
items
in
a
supplementary
paper.
I
think
it's
I'm
gonna
take
them
as
I'm
just
gonna,
take
them
as
one
discussion
and
then
we'll
turn
to
the
recommendations.
So,
in
terms
of
my
introduction,
that's
what
I
wanted
to
say
and
I'll
ask
counselor
aris
to
comment
on
the
vaccination
program.
Please
then
invite
comments
on
the
board.
F
Thank
you
thank
you,
chair,
and
so,
as
we've
seen
throughout
the
pandemic,
there's
been
a
fantastic
team.
Please
approach.
The
report
provides
an
update
on
the
excellent
partnership
work
taking
place
across
leeds
between
the
nhs,
a
wide
range
of
council
services,
third
sector
and
community
organizations
to
scale
up
the
corporate
19
booster
program,
while
still
continuing
to
focus
on
areas
where
we
have
got
lower
vaccine
uptake
and
those
people
that
are
most
vulnerable.
F
We
recently
did
pass
the
one
year
milestone
since
the
first
leeds
vaccination
program
began
over
1.3
million
vaccine
doses
have
been
administered
in
centers
across
the
city
and,
as
the
report
highlights,
those
involved
have
had
to
operate
with
a
high
level
of
flexibility,
responding
to
changing
needs,
fluctuating
government
guidance
and
different
approaches
for
ministers,
as
well
as
adapting
to
the
emergent
evidence,
space
about
corbin
19
and
the
vaccines
themselves.
F
In
total,
75
percent
of
the
electoral
population
have
been
a
vaccinated
50
of
those
subsequently
receiving
the
booster
dose.
It's
really
important.
We
continue
to
continue
our
work
to
increase
the
uptake,
and
I
know
the
nhs
figures
from
last
week
from
the
week
of
the
5th
of
december,
showed
more
than
60
000
adults
nationally
only
received
their
first
dose
that
week
we
will
continue
to
work
to
increase
accessibility
and
vaccine
confidence
to
ensure
that
no
one
is
left
behind.
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
everybody.
F
Who's
been
involved
in
their
efforts
and
working
at
pace
to
adjust
the
program
to
offer
the
booster
vaccine
to
everyone
eligible
a
month
earlier,
particularly
during
an
already
difficult
winter
for
the
health
and
care
sector.
Thank
you.
A
D
I
think
I'd
echo
cancer
reefs
thanks
to
all
the
people,
who've
been
involved
in
well,
it's
an
astonishing
achievement
really
to
think.
A
year
ago
the
first
job
went
in
in
somebody's
arm,
and-
and
here
we
are
now
trying
to
get
the
boosters
into
people.
D
So
I
think
we
can
only
really
applaud
the
efforts
of
all
those
people
and
everyone
across
the
council
for
and
the
partners
for
what
people
have
tried
to
do
to
keep
people
safe
and
keep
things
moving
forward,
and
the
the
question
really
is
what
it
is
not
in
any
way
criticism.
What
collectively
can
we
do
to
try
in
the
the
areas
of
the
city
where
the
take-up
isn't
what
it
needs
to
be?
D
What
more
collectively
can
we
do
to
try
and
give
that
a
push
and
try
and
get
more
jobs
and
deal
with
some
of
the
silly
misinformation
that
people
are
putting
out
and
and
giving
hesitancy
so
that
that's
really
the?
But
what
can
we
do.
F
Yeah,
it's
a
really
important
question,
and
I
know
this
more
so
than
my
ward,
because
we
have
got
lower
uptakes.
I
think
we
just
keep
at
it
and
I
think,
as
a
council,
you
know,
with
the
no
one
left
behind
that's
still
very
much
on
our
agenda
to
go
back
to
those
communities.
Look
at
what
the
barriers
are,
and
just
one
example
that
I'd
like
to
give
you
in
my
ward
last
week
we
sort
of
did
it
slightly
differently.
F
What
we
did,
we
did
a
winter
well-being
event
at
a
local
school
and
through
that
we've
got
parents
and
we
managed
to
get
33
vaccinations
now,
I'm
fairly
confident
we
perhaps
wouldn't
have
got
those
people,
so
it's
it's
being
different
and
looking
at
what
works
in
different
communities,
but
also
as
leaders
and
as
leaders
ourselves,
leaders
in
the
community.
Just
we
mustn't
stop
with
the
message
of
how
important
it
is
that
we
we
continue
to
get
the
job
and
the
importance
of
it,
protecting
not
ourselves
but
our
family,
our
friends.
F
So
it's
just
just
keeping
up
with
that
message,
really
counselor
lam.
Thank
you.
E
Thanks
chair
two
points,
really
the
first
one
is:
we've
had
the
headlines
about
the
difficulty
that
we're
having
in
the
social
care
sector
about
enabling
people
who
are
currently
in
hospital
to
find
care
places
for
themselves
in
the
community
because
of
the
shortages
in
the
care
workforce
at
the
moment.
E
But
we're
also
aware
that
the
health
service
is
trying
to
prepare
and
anticipate
a
rise
in
hospital
admissions
through
the
further
spread
of
omicron
and
it'd,
be
really
useful
to
understand
what
ratio
of
beds
is
that
the
the
delayed
discharge
actually
represents
in
terms
of
not
helping
with
that
preparedness
and
then
the
second
is
around
the
vaccination
issue.
E
It's
great
that
we're
having
pop-up
centers
in
those
areas
where
there
is
the
highest
non-vaccinated,
but
there
are
also
issues
for
communities
which
are
not
on
the
best
public
transport
system
in
terms
of
being
able
to
get
access
to
vaccines,
and
I
recall
that
when
I
tried
to
get
a
booster,
the
nearest
one
that
I
had
it
sent
me
to
castleford
from
my
side
of
leeds,
and
that
was
over
three
and
a
half
miles
away.
E
I
understand
that.
There's
discussions
to
be
had
with
local
pharmacies
to
see
whether
they
can
help
in
deliver
the
capacity,
and
I'm
just
wondering
is
this:
something
which
is
channeled
through
the
ccgs.
Or
is
this
something
that
pharmacists
themselves
can
put
themselves
forward
to
offer
that
kind
of
community
vaccine
support.
A
Thank
you,
council
god.
I
don't
sound
like
an
anorak,
but
you
can
get
the
140
141
bus
from
olton
to
castleford
and
it
runs
every
15
minutes.
I
don't
know
if
anybody
wants
to
come
back
on.
Council
go
answer.
Questions
victoria,
please.
G
Thank
you
leader,
thanks
councillor
galton,
I
can
take
the
the
second
one
of
those
I
think
that's
better
place
to
take
the
first
one.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we've
been
keen
to
do
all
along
but
are
particularly
keen
to
do
now,
is
to
ensure
that,
in
the
plan
for
booster
provision,
we've
got
as
many
local
and
accessible
sites
as
possible.
You
quite
like
council
of
galton.
G
We
initially
had
very
strong
involvement
from
all
gp
practices
across
the
city
through
the
primary
care
networks,
which
fell
away
to
some
extent
in
the
middle
part
of
this
programme
over
the
last
week.
We'll
you
know,
we're
really
pleased
to
hear
that
all
gp
practices
have
now
re-engaged
with
the
booster
programme.
So,
and
that's
just
happened
over
the
last
few
days
with
the
with
the
recent
announcement
and
the
new,
the
new
offer
that
they've
been
given
as
as
gps
to
to
participate.
G
So
we
we
will
now
see
local
offers
through
gp
practices
that
weren't
what
weren't
there
a
week
or
two
ago.
So
that's
obviously
led
mainly
by
nhs
colleagues
where
and
where
we
come
in,
is
all
of
the
work,
including
what
council
irish
just
described
around
more
community
venues
that
are
outside
the
nhs
but
still
most
accessible
to
people.
G
So
so
the
gp
practice
situation
has
improved
significantly
over
the
last
few
days,
and
I
think
one
of
the
big
challenges
is,
as
that
is
moving
very
fast,
making
sure
that
the
information
on
exactly
where
people
can
go
is
all
in
one
place
and
easily
accessible
and
there's
clear
messages
around
that
that
will
be
through
the
nhs
leads
website.
So
we're
working
hard
to
make
sure
that's,
live
and
up
to
date
on
the
pharmacy
question.
G
Undoubtedly
that
there
is
a
conversation
about
how
we
up
the
number
of
pharmacies
that
are
currently
involved.
There's
currently
12
community
pharmacies
involved,
and
we
have
an
ambition
to
to
increase
that
fairly
significantly.
G
Some
prince
is
leading
that
work
as
the
nhs
lead
for
vaccines
and
because
it
is
dependent
on
a
contract
with
pharmacies
in
the
same
way
that
the
gps
have
had
a
contract
around
how
much
they
get
paid
and
what
they
can
drop.
But
we'll
obviously
be
advising
sam
around
access
for
communities
and
which
pharmacies
would
you
know,
fill
the
gaps
that
we
need
to
be
filled
from
a
community
point
of
view
and
so
yeah.
Thanks
for
your
comments
and
and
we'll
continue
to
to
take
that
work
forward,.
C
Yes,
on
the
issue
of
proportionality
of
delay
discharges
today,
there
were
224
delay,
discharges
and
that's
on
a
bed
base
of
roughly
1
500,
so
it's
just
short
of
15
percent
and
the
figure
tends
to
bob
up
and
down
between
200
and
250,
depending
on
the
day
of
the
week
that
it's
quite
a
lot.
H
Yeah,
I
was
just
going
to
say
for
the
for
the
oversight
role
of
exec
board,
really
just
for
the
for
the
sort
of
record,
the
the
gold
silver
bronze
arrangement
of
operational
system,
whole
system
working,
as
has
been
in
place
throughout
the
pandemic
actually-
and
we
haven't-
stepped
it
down
completely,
but
we've
increased
the
frequency
of
those
meetings
now
and
I
chair
the
gold
meeting
with
the
system
partners
like
the
chief
exec
of
the
na
of
the
hospital
and
the
ccg
etc,
and
you
know
that
team
leads
approach
is
absolutely
hard-wired
into
the
way
that
we're
working
as
you've
heard
there
are.
H
I
just
mentioned
three
specific
issues.
One
is
around.
There
is
a
financial
impact
for
the
council
already
of
working
from
home,
given
the
income
elements
of
our
budget
that
we
have.
So
it's
it's
important
to
flag
that
up
we're
in
dialogue
with
the
government
as
a
sector
about
that,
and
previously
the
government
has
stepped
forward
to
help.
So
you
know
that's
something
that
will
everybody.
Everybody
will
be
keeping
a
watching
eye
on
and
obviously
there's
a
direct
impact
on
certain
sectors.
H
H
The
other
thing
that
I
think
we're
all
planning
for
in
january
february
is
is
potential
impacts
on
levels
of
workforce
provision
where,
if
people
are,
if
more
and
more
people
are
having
self-isolate,
then
we
had
a
a
system
last
year
where
we
did
manage
to
move
people
around
the
council
so
that
we
kept
services
going
and
that's
happening
again.
Neil
chairs,
the
silver
group,
that's
dealing
with
all
that
and
we've
got
contingency
plans
in
place,
and
then
the
final
point
was
just
a
very
practical
one.
H
We're
meeting
to
today,
socially
distanced
safely
face
to
face
it's
harder
to
do
that
as
full
council
and
the
the
government
did
allow
councils
to
meet
virtually
when
the
pandemic
hit
its
height
previously
during
lockdown,
and
the
sector
as
a
whole
is
in
dialogue
with
the
government
about
whether
we
need
to
do
that.
H
Given
budget
councils
are
coming
up
and
there
may
be
a
challenge
to
make
that
happen,
so
we'll
keep
you
in
touch
with
that,
and
obviously
that's
a
very
practical
issue
for
us,
because
if
budget
council
is
the
decision-making
body
of
setting
the
budget
and
allowing
all
the
services
to
run
throughout
the
year,
so
it's
important.
I
think
just
to
note
that.
A
Thank
you
tom.
I
don't
see
anybody
else
wanting
to
speak
on
this,
so
liz
two
sets
of
recommendations
to
agree.
The
first
one
is
on
item
10,
which
is
on
page
181
of
the
main
documents.
That's
the
update
and
I
take
it.
Everybody
is
happy
with
those
recommendations
and
then
the
second
recommendations
are
on
page
four
of
the
supplementary
pack.
That
was
a
the
late
item
on
the
lead,
vaccination,
a
program
and
again
I'd
like
to
as
we
move
these
recommendations.
A
Thank
officers
for
the
work
on
this
and
for
producing
this
report
so
quickly
for
today's
meeting
and
I
take
it,
everybody
is
happy
with
those
recommendations.
A
Great,
so
we're
moving
on
to
the
the
the
second
late
report
in
the
pack,
which
is
the
west
yorkshire
devolution
consent
to
non-transport
borrowing
powers.
This
is
a
continuation
of
the
development
of
the
devolution
deal
which
we
started
in
march
2020
national
budget.
We
concluded
the
statutory
processes
in
january
2021.
A
The
first
mayor
of
west
yorkshire
was
elected
in
may
2021,
and
this
develops
working
closely
with
the
other
councils
mayor
brave
in
the
combined
authority
and
the
government,
the
powers
to
for
the
combined
authority,
to
borrow
for
the
nun
transport
forces
always
had
powers
to
borrow
to
deliver
transport.
But
this
uncovers
the
rest
of
the
remit
of
the
mayor.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
members
counselor,
lamb
and
council
golden.
D
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
think
the
main
comment
is
for
us
the
concern
that
it
doesn't
seem
to
involve
opposition
members
in
across
the
authority
in
the
decision-making,
and
I
think
really
what
we're
looking
for
is
an
assurance
that
well,
it
doesn't
say
they
will
in
the
in
the
papers
that
that
will
happen.
There'll
be
a
timely
consultation
and
engagement
with
opposition
members,
so
that
we
can
properly
understand,
what's
being
proposed
and
make
contributions
to
that.
A
More
than
happy
to
put
any
briefings
in
place
and
any
involvement
in
place
that
is
needed,
I'm
needed
around
needed
around
that.
Of
course,
alan
council
golden
please.
E
Well,
little
democrats
believe
that
devolution
should
mean
devolution
and
that
usually
should
involve
some
kind
of
fiscal
powers
in
the
absence
of
that
having
some
flexibility
around
what
you're
able
to
borrow
after
you've,
basically
articulated
to
the
people
that
representing
what
benefit
you
hope
to
achieve
from.
E
It
is
something
which
I
think
is
particularly
useful
and
given
that
the
combined
authority
has
powers
over
adult
training
and
skills,
in
particular
at
this
point
in
time,
where
we're
seeing
those
tensions
in
logistics
in
the
care
market
and
we're
looking
to
develop
a
greener
economy,
going
forward
being
able
to
pull
out
the
stops
in
terms
of
delivering
the
right
skills.
Training
needed
as
soon
as
possible
is
is
something
that
that
we
should
be
giving
to
the
mayor
in
terms
of
being
able
to
have
those
powers.
E
A
Thank
you,
council
gordon.
I
do
as
well,
but
the
first
thing
we
need
is
the
power.
So
I
welcome
to
support
for
this,
and
I
should
I
don't
see
any
other
comments
on
the
board.
So
I
should
note
before
I
turn
to
the
recommendations
that
given
the
late
nature
of
the
paper
councillor
andrew
scopes
has
been
consulted
as
a
relevant
scrutiny
board
chair
as
well
on
this.
A
So
with
no
further
comment,
I'm
gonna
turn
to
the
recommendations
which
are
on
page
nine
of
the
of
the
late
items
pack
and
I
take
it.
Everybody
is
happy
with
those
recommendations.
A
Thank
you.
That's
the
end
of
the
papers
under
my
portfolio
and
we
now
move
on
to
council,
venice
portfolio,
please
and
item
11.
I
Thank
you
chair.
This
paper
proposes
two
changes
to
social
care
charging.
One
change
is
to
remove
the
maximum
assessed
charge
cap
which
I'll
refer
to
from
this
point
forward.
As
the
mac
cap.
Removing
the
mat
cap
means
that
the
amount
people
pay
for
social
care
will
no
longer
be
capped
at
482
pounds
a
week.
The
other
change
is
that
people
will
be
charged
for
two
carers
if
they
require
them,
which
is
not
the
case
at
the
moment.
If
the
council
provides
care
directly,
we
only
charge
for
one
carer.
I
I
An
important
point
to
stress
early
on
in
my
comments
is
that
nobody
will
be
asked
to
pay
more
than
they
can
afford
to
the
proposal
to
remove
the
mac
cap
and
charge
for
two
carers
if
required,
affects
266
people
across
the
city.
208
are
affected
by
two
for
one
carers
and
58
affected
by
the
mac
cap
proposal.
Only
a
further
47
might
be
affected
because
they
are
receiving
two
cares
and
have
yet
not
been
financially
assessed.
I
I
It
is
also
a
current
anomaly
that
if
someone
has
direct
payments
and
employs
their
own
carers,
they
pay
for
the
number
they
need,
but
where
we
provide
care
directly,
we
only
charge
for
one
carer.
Even
if
two
are
required,
this
proposal
would
generate
an
estimated
two
million
as
a
minimum.
We
expect
to
generate
more,
but
we
don't
know
how
much
as
people
have
not
been
financially
assessed,
who
are
currently
at
the
mat
cap.
This
is
why
we
have
said
up
to
four
million,
but
we
are
confident
of
achieving
two
million
as
a
minimum.
I
We
are
proposing
a
phased
approach
25
after
three
months,
25
after
another
three
months
and
the
full
amount
after
nine
months-
and
this
was
introduced
as
a
direct
result
of
the
consultation,
nobody
will
be
asked
to
pay
more
than
they
can
afford,
based
on
national
legislation
and
guidance,
as
this
affects
a
relatively
small
number
of
people.
We
can
monitor
each
case.
I
I
Benchmarking
demonstrates
that
few
comparable
local
authorities
have
a
map
cap
and
most
do
charge
for
the
actual
number
of
carers.
Liverpool
are
the
only
call
city
that
doesn't,
but
they
are
also
reviewing.
This
campaigners
across
the
country
have
argued
that
increases
in
social
care,
inevitably
impact
on
the
most
disabled
people.
I
As
I
said
at
the
beginning,
social
care
is
not
free
at
the
point
of
use,
and
this
does
mean
that
the
more
care
you
need,
the
more
you
pay
for.
However,
nobody
will
be
asked
to
pay
more
than
they
can
afford,
and
this
proposal
is
removing
subsidies,
as
I
referred
to
earlier.
At
the
moment,
people
on
low
incomes
are
paying
the
maximum
that
they
can
afford.
I
If
we
do
not
save
this
income
from
this
proposal,
we
will
have
to
take
it
from
preventative
services.
Discretionary
services
that
support
people
in
the
community,
the
86
000
pound
cap
on
lifetime
costs,
will
mitigate
the
impact
of
the
removal
of
the
mac
cap
for
some
people,
and
we
don't
include
the
asset
of
someone's
house
in
calculating
care
costs.
This
also
does
not
impact
on
people
who
are
entitled
to
funding
either
under
continuing
health
care
or
under
section
117
of
the
mental
health
act.
I
In
summary,
this
proposal
is
to
remove
current
subsidies
where
some
people
that
put
some
people
are
currently
getting
for
social
care.
It
removes
the
mat
cap
so
removes
the
subsidy
currently
provided
for
people
on
higher
incomes,
but
not
lower
incomes
and
charging.
People
for
two
carers
resolves
the
current
anomaly
that
dissentivises
people
from
having
direct
payments
and
paying
for
their
own
carers.
Thank
you,
chair.
A
D
Yeah,
thank
you.
There's
yeah,
there's
a
few
content,
it's
a
very,
very
comprehensive
and
detailed
paper,
and
I
thank
councillor
vender
for
the
comprehensive
introduction.
So,
but
I've
got
a
few
queries,
if
I
may
so.
First
of
all,
can
we
have
a
firm
commitment
that
the
money
raised
will
be
going
back
into
services
and
it's
it's
not
just
going
into
general
council
consumption?
Secondly,
can
you
give
us
some
more
detail
about
how
many
people
specifically
gonna
have
to
pay
more
in
this,
because
it
says
the
majority?
D
I
think
it's
about
five
percent
also
are
expected
to
have
to
pay
more.
Is
there
a
number
to
go
with
that,
because,
if
we're
expecting
four
million
pounds
to
be
raised
from
a
very
small
proportion
of
people,
that
could
mean
a
number
of
people
paying
a
substantial
amount
more
money?
D
How
much
is
this
predicated
on
people
behaving
exactly
as
you
expect
that
they
will
just
effectively
say
right,
we'll
pay,
so
the
the
highest
scenario
in
the
the
examples
provided
is
someone
paying
an
extra
650
pounds
a
week.
I
find
it
difficult
to
believe
that,
whatever
your
level
of
income,
anybody
is
going
to
just
hand
over
650
pounds
and
not
bat,
an
eyelid
about
it.
So
one
of
the
worries
is:
do
they
change
their
behavior?
Do
they
change
their
arrangements?
D
Does
that
have
a
knock-on?
Do
families
start
making
different
decisions
about
about
their
care
and
what
effects
does
that
have
down
the
line?
So
how
robust
is
the
figure
and
how
much
is
predicated
on
people
just
saying
yep,
another
650
pounds
a
week,
no
problem
there
you
go.
I
find
that
hard
to
hard
to
believe
and
equally
is
there
a
danger
that
this
has
a
knock
on
impact
to
the
health
service
and
to
the
council
budget
elsewhere.
D
If
more
people
decide,
they
can't
afford
to
provide
care
at
home
and
start
looking
for
residential,
where
the
council
may
start
to
incur
costs
as
a
result.
So
there's
quite
a
few
things.
I
appreciate
to
a
difficult
thing
to
do,
but
it's
just
seeking
some
reassurance
that
we
have
thought
of
these
things
and
that
there
are
plans
in
place
for
them.
A
Thank
you,
council,
alam,
council
venue.
Would
you
like
to
make
a
start
to
those
questions
and,
of
course,
if
there's
detailed
information,
we
may
need
to
provide
a
written,
a
written
response.
I
Yeah,
I
would
add
to
john
crowd:
that's
here
as
well,
who
who's
generated
a
lot
of
the
data
so
may
be
able
to
add
some
add
more
detail.
As
I
said
in
my
introductory
comments.
I
This
is
about
this
is
about
a
saving
that
we
need
to
make
from
adult
social
care
that
if
we
don't
make
clear,
we
will
have
to
make
somewhere
else
and
because
so
little
that
we
do
now
isn't
statutory,
it
would
come
out
of
those.
You
know
those
community-based
preventative
services,
so
this
isn't
about
generating
income
that
we
can
then
spend
in
other
ways
it's
about
not
having
to
make
a
cut
somewhere
else
in
terms
of
the
number
of
people
I
did
give
the
figures,
which
is
it
affects
266
people.
I
I
would
say
that
a
huge
amount
of
work
has
gone
into
this
paper
and
cass
and
john's
team
have
done
a
massive
amount
of
work
on
these
numbers,
so
we
are
fairly
confident
they're
accurate.
The
combined
number
is
266
with
at
208
who
are
affected
by
both
both
the
two
for
one
and
mac
cap
and
58.
That
are
only
affected
by
the
mat
cap.
But
you,
you
are
right,
council,
lamb,
that
it
that
does
mean
some
people
will
be
asked
to
pay
considerably
more,
who
are
currently
having
their
contribution
cap.
That
is
a
reality.
I
I
would
add,
though,
again
it
is
removing
a
subsidy,
because
at
the
moment
people
on
lower
incomes
are
already
paying
the
maximum
they
can
afford,
and
people
on
higher
incomes
are
not
in
terms
of
the
changes
to
people's
behavior.
I
This
is
where
the
reviewing
social
workers
are
really
important,
and
also
the
fact
that
this
is
a
relatively
small
number
of
people
means
that
we
can
work
quite
intensively
with
each
person
and
each
family
and
provide
support
and
make
sure
that
we
are
not
either
causing
undue
hardship,
in
which
case
that
does
have
some
discretion
or
having
any
unintended
consequences.
As
a
result
of
this,
I
know
one
of
the
concerns
in
consultation
was
well.
Will
people
choose
to
have
less
care,
but
actually
with
the
two?
I
For
one
care
I
mean:
that's,
that's
that's
usually
around
hoisting
and
moving
people,
and
you
see
it
would
not.
I
It
would
not
be
in
someone's
care
package
that
they
would
suddenly
have
a
reduction
in
care
because
it
just
wouldn't
be
wouldn't
be
possible,
but
each
situation
will
be
monitored
and
we
can
do
that
because
it's
a
small
number
of
people
and
in
the
case
of
your
question
about
residential
I
mean
we
would
always
support
people
to
live
in
the
community
and
the
cost
of
residential
care
is
such
that
it
is
still
likely
to
be
cheaper
for
almost
everyone
to
remain
in
the
community
rather
than
going
to
residential
care.
I
C
D
Yeah,
there's
there's
one
further
point,
just
on
the
low
response
to
the
consultation
with
less
than
two
percent
of
people
responding.
That
concerns
me
that
a
and
I've
got
a
letter
from.
I
won't
read
it
out
from
somebody
who-
and
I
believe
this
is
quite
complicated,
very
complicated
to
to
engage
with
and
understand
and
when
so
few
people
have
responded
to
something
that
could
be
a
very,
very
significant
change
for
them.
D
D
I
just
I
think
it's
something
we
need
to
keep
a
a
very
close
eye
on,
and
I
just
ask
that
I
know
cath
has
discretionary
powers,
but
there
is
a
preparedness
to
keep
this
under
close
review
and
make
adjustments
as
things
go
along
if,
if
it's
deemed
to
be
necessary,
so
we
don't
get
sort
of
wedded
to
it.
Come
what
may,
if
it's
having
a
really
negative
impact
on
people
that
we're
ready
to
to
adapt
and
and
change.
A
Thank
you,
council,
and
I
think
I
can
see
catherine
councilvana
wants
to
come
in
and
and
clearly
I
mean
council
of
energy,
saying
obviously
the
the
small
number
of
people
involved
means
that
a
lot
of
time
can
be
put
into
supporting
people
individually
through
this
kath.
Please
and
then
council
levener.
C
C
C
E
Yeah,
I
I
just
wanted
to
recognize
the
difficulty
that
there
is
here,
because
it's
pointed
out
in
the
paper
that
this
affects
just
4.5
percent
of
people
receiving
care
in
the
city.
But
it
also
indicates
that
they're,
probably
at
the
higher
end
of
need,
as
well
because
of
the
two-handed
support
that
a
lot
of
them
require.
I
I
I
was
just
going
through
all
of
the
survey
responses
as
well,
and
there
is
a
significant
level
of
concern.
E
But
I
don't
think
any
of
this
has
been
done
lightly
and
the
detail
which
is
in
the
report,
points
to
the
fact
that
the
service
is
well
aware
of
any
amelioration
or
mitigation
that
might
be
needed
in
individual
cases.
And
I
think
that
this
is
the
key
to.
E
This
is
making
sure
that
it's
a
personalized
response
and
the
graded
introduction,
I
think,
does
offer
some
of
that
reviewing
capacity
as
time
goes
by,
and
I
think
it
will
be
really
helpful
for
members
of
the
executive
board
for
an
interim
report
to
be
sent
to
us,
maybe
after
six
months
or
so
to
let
us
know
how
the
service
is
getting
on.
E
With
with
introducing
this
and
understanding
what
some
of
the
the
impact
has
been
and
how
we're
responding
to
it,
not
so
much
in
terms
of
a
formal
executive
paper,
but
definitely
in
terms
of
a
briefing
note,
that
would
be
really
helpful,
because
I
know
that
you
don't
make
that
this
decision
lightly
as
professionals
but
as
executive
board
members
and
lay
people.
You
know
we
that
would
give
us
an
added
level
of
assurance
as
well,
that
this
is
the
right
road
to
be
going
down.
I
I
We
can
obviously
do
a
briefing
note
after
six
months
after
a
year
may
give
you
a
more
accurate
picture
because
of
the
phased
approach,
so
people
who've
got
to
pay
more,
won't
be
paying
the
full
amount
for
nine
months.
So
we
could
perhaps
do
an
ins
do
a
note
at
6
months
on
12
months.
A
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you
leader.
This
is
a
report,
provides
an
update
on
the
race
management
service,
operational
response
to
the
challenges
being
faced
by
the
service
during
the
ongoing
pandemic
and
the
related
financial
implications
are,
as
requested
by
the
executive
board
in
october.
J
Can
I
just
say
that
we
are
the
largest
second
largest
provider
of
refuge
service
anywhere
in
the
uk
and
the
largest
provider
of
free
garden
waste
service
in
the
uk
as
well?
We've
actually
emptied
over
39
million
bins
during
the
pandemic,
containing
over
four
thousand
four
hundred
thousand
tons
of
household
waste.
This
is
thirty.
Seven
thousand
tons
more
waste
than
usual
and
equivalent
to
crews
emptying
an
extra
three
million
bins
as
more
people
continue
to
work
and
learn
from
home
during
the
pandemic.
J
We
also
collect
emptied
over
two
and
a
half
to
2500
tons
of
garden
waste
as
well,
and
can
I
also
say
that
our
actual
performance
based
on
the
government's
formula
is
is
during
the
pandemic?
Is
99.85
percent
and
and
before
the
pandemic,
that
was
99.93
percent?
J
J
Difficulties
in
terms
of
recruiting
you
know,
agency
staff
coupled
with
obviously
you
know
in
more
recent
months
august
september,
where
staff,
having
to
you,
know
struggling
to
struggle
to
do
overtime
because
people
you
know
wanted,
you
know
bit
time
for
their
families
as
well,
like
everybody
else
where,
after
a
20
or
18
months
of
lockdown,
and
I
think
back
in
the
middle
of
august,
there
was
some
obviously
relaxation
of
restrictions,
so
that
has
a
little
bit
impact
on
on
the
surface
as
well,
and
then,
as
more
people
work
from
home,
there's
actually
more
cars
as
well.
J
Apart
from
obviously
the
rubbish
generated
as
well
and
the
second
bit
is,
it
actually
looks
at
the
actual
cost,
which
I
think
has
sometimes
been
referred
to
as
overspent.
Well,
it's
actually
not
overspent,
you
know,
is
actually
the
cost
of
collecting
the
extra
waste
from
our
residents
as
a
result
of
of
the
pandemic
as
more
people
work
and
and
and
learn
from
home.
So
that's
actually
broken
down
into
into
three
areas.
J
An
estimated
2.3
million
2.23
million
is
is,
is,
is
the
cost
of
a
contractual
disposal
and
processing
of
the
additional
household
waste
which
is
continued
to
be
presented
as
more
people
are,
are
working
from
home.
An
extra
one
million
is
spent
on
on
the
height
of
extra
refuse
collection
vehicles
by
fleet
services
to
ensure
sufficient
extra
sports
and
backups
sent
out
each
day
to
manage
the
extra
waste
and
replace
the
rcvs
requiring
deep
cleans
following
the
crew
covered
cases.
J
This
is
through
a
mixture
of
extra
contracted
staff
agency
staff
and
and
over
time
as
well.
J
So
all
that
kind
of
results
in
six
extra
crews
having
to
be
deployed
over
six
days
days
a
week.
J
The
final
appendix
provides
information
on
the
work
being
done
to
ensure
that
the
service
remains
resilient
to
further
pressures
and
to
tackle
some
of
the
improvement
priorities,
areas
that
were
identified
before
the
pandemic,
eg
review
and
and
moving
to
the
new
depot
which
we,
which
which
will
happen
in
the
new
year
before
I
I
actually
stop.
J
You
know,
chair
I'd,
just
like
to
put
on
record
and
thank
the
teams
for
for
for
the
for
the
huge
effort
they
put
in
during
during
the
last
18
to
20
months,
and
certainly
from
the
start
of
of
the
pandemic.
J
I
think
I
think
I
think,
despite
the
challenges,
we
still
remain
one
of
the
best
refuge
collection
services
in
the
country,
but,
let's
hope
you
know
going
into
the
new
year
as
things
improve,
although
when
we're
not
so
we
keep
thinking
we'll
keep
saying
that
we'll
be
we're
kind
of
out
of
the
woods,
but
with
the
pandemic
we
don't
know
where
it's
going,
but
we
we
are,
as
we
go
forward
from
you
know,
going
to
next
year's
budget.
J
We
are
obviously
are
projecting
the
extra
costs
into
next
year's
budget.
Thank
you.
A
E
I'm
afraid
councillor
rafiq
is
slightly
delusional
if
he
thinks
that
the
performance
during
covid
was
exemplary.
The
individual
efforts
of
bing
cruz
and
the
operatives
within
that
service
were
so.
E
They
did
an
excellent
job,
given
the
conditions
that
they
were
given,
either
environmentally
or
societally
or
by
their
management,
and
I
think
this
is
part
of
the
problem
in
terms
of
how
you
measure
your
success
at
counselor
rafiq,
because
you
keep
going
about
how
are
the
biggest
authority
on
this
and
where
the
largest
authority
that
offers
free
brown
bin
collection
well,
as
was
mentioned
earlier,
we're
also
supposed
to
be
the
best
city
and
therefore
we
should
be
offering
the
best
quality,
not
just
the
best
quantity
of
service
and
the
experience
which
has
been
had
over
recent
months
by
your
customers
who
pay
the
wages
of
of
the
of
the
waste
service
has
not
been
the
best
and,
unfortunately,
a
lot
of
them.
E
You
talk
about
the
the
percentage
success
rate
and
how,
according
to
government
figures,
you
were
99.97.
E
Efficient
or
something-
and
I
would
point
out
that
that
efficiency
measure
measures
collection
on
a
given
day
or
within
48
hours
afterwards,
so
that
amazing
success
rate
could
also
hide
a
very
high
initial
failure
rate
and
unfortunately,
the
recovery
option
is
quite
expensive
to
do.
If
you're
not
doing
it
well,
the
first
time
round,
it
actually
costs
you
more
to
go
back
and
sweep
up
again,
and
we
really
were
expecting
to
see
something
a
little
bit
more.
E
What's
the
word
humble
in
terms
of
thinking
about
how
things
could
be
done
differently,
having
had
the
experience
of
covid
and
and
the
service
under
pressure,
and
I
would
have
liked
to
have
seen
a
service
review
of
the
waste
collection
service
included
within
the
budget
terms,
so
that
you
weren't,
relying
on
a
5.1
million
pound
ring
fenced
overspend
contingency
subsidy,
and
I
think
that's
what
we
deserve
to
have
in
this
paper
and
unfortunately,
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
little
bit
too
defensive
for
its
own
good.
A
Not
sure
about
the
word
subsidy
just
to
reiterate
that
we
do
provide
brown,
green
and
black
bin
services
at
no
extra
cost
of
services,
I'm
not
quite
sure
about
the
use
of
the
word
subsidies,
it's
all
free
to
as
it's
all
free
to
people
in
these.
Well,
I
think
the
extra
cost
council
golden
is
putting
crews
and
wagons
out
there
on
the
disposal
cost
it's
emptying
people's
bins.
I
think
it's
what
the
taxpayer
would
expect
us
to
do.
Council
repeat,
would
you
like
to
come
back?
Please.
J
Yeah
I
mean,
I
think
I've
already.
The
the
report
is
is,
is
self
explanatory
comes
with
golton,
you
know
it
says
when,
when
you
talk
about
five
million
it
actually
the
cost
of
disposable
extra
waste,
that's
not
something
we
take.
This
is
the
extra
ways
it's
it's
there.
You
know
it's
in
plain
english
in
in
black
and
white,
that
the
extra
tonnage
we
have
to
collect
it's
it's
there
for
whether
it's
you
know
obviously
2.2
to
3
million
is
the
disposal.
J
1
million
is
for
extra
referees
vehicles
and
then
the
1.89
million
is,
is
the
related
kind
of
the
staffing
cost?
It's
it's
not
rocket
science.
You
know,
I
can't
be
anymore.
The
report
can't
be
any
more
clearer
than
that
of
the
council
of
colton,
so
I'm
not
really
sure
what
exactly
you
know
where
you
want
to
go
with
this.
As
far
as
the
performance
is
concerned,
I
think,
if
you
compare
with
you,
know
many
other
public
services
outside
the
council.
J
I
think,
and
and
indeed
like
for,
like
the
refugee
services
across
the
country,
where
they've
experienced
many
many
issues,
much
more
issues
than
we
have
and
we
we
do
talk
to
and
get
the
info
from
all
other
our
competitive
partners,
core
cities,
and
we
know
that
you
know,
despite
the
challenges-
and
I
spent
time
I
mean
what
what
you're
doing
is.
You
know
on
one
hand,
you
say
that
well,
the
the
crew
out,
you
know
on
the
doorstep,
they
do
well,
but
then
you
actually
indirectly,
you
know
criticizing
the
crew
by
saying
well
xy.
J
J
What
we
said
previously-
but
you
know
through
council,
but
the
the
thing
is,
you
know
you've
got
to,
I
think,
put
your
hands
together
for
the
service
provider.
We've
got.
Obviously
you
know
the
the
the
all
the
data
for
all
all
the
misbeans,
the
48
hour
isn't
included
in
in
the
99,
but
anything
outside
that
is
one
percent.
If
you
collect
85
000
bins
a
day,
you
know
one
cent.
One
percent
equates
to
a
council
of
golden
that's
850
bids.
850.
J
0.5
is
450
bins.
You
know,
if
you
look
at
some
of
the
the
logistical
challenges,
apart
from
obviously
the
pandemic
in
terms
of
the
the
the
vehicles
on
streets
in
terms
of
road
works,
you
you're
always
gonna
have
some
sort
of
you
know
misses
because
of
those
those
those
challenges
you
face.
You
know,
even
if
you
didn't
have
pandemic,
but
obviously
with
a
pandemic
you
are
having.
J
To
I
mean
the
other
thing
you've
got
to
bear
in
mind
is
that
over
the
last
four
months,
if
you
look
at
the
actual
pandemic,
you
know
virus
numbers,
we,
you
know
they
were
much
higher
than
the
start
of
the
year.
Even
though
people
aren't
obviously
isolating
because
you've
been
double
jab
jab,
but
obviously
the
the
virus
is
still
out
there,
you
know
40
50,
000
new
cases
a
day.
This
is
people
who
are
being
on.
You
know
getting
a
pcr
test,
so
you
know
it's
a
report.
J
I
think
in
couple
it
encapsulates
you
know
the
three
different
sort
of
areas
and
I
think,
as
far
as
the
the
actual
the
the
review
is
concerned,
well,
that's
something
we
are
working
on.
We
can't
do
it.
You
know
until
we
we
actually
come
out
of
it,
but
we
we,
you
know
we
couldn't
have
done
it
the
last
18
months,
but
that's
something
is
planned
for
the
for
the
new
year
and
it's
it's
in
the
report.
If
you've
read
it.
K
Yeah,
thank
you,
chad.
I
will
be
brief,
because
council
rafik
has
covered
all
of
the
points
that
I
would
have
made,
but
I'll
I'll
just
really
emphasize
just
to
be
three
four
key
points,
so
85
000
bims
a
day
is
a
massive
operational
logistical
challenge
that
we've
got
every
day
to
go
out
there
and
collect
bins
and
we're
seeing
currently
10
waste
excess
waste,
and
that
has
been
up
to
20
during
the
course
of
pandemic.
K
The
roots
were
designed
for
that
level
of
waste,
so
we've
had
to
adapt
our
response
to
that
on
a
daily
basis
to
make
sure
that
we
can
do
and
reach
the
performance
levels
that
we've
reached
in
referencing
of
the
local
authorities.
I
think
it's
interesting
to
point
out
that
during
the
summer
a
large
number
of
local
authorities
actually
stopped
their
garden
waste
collection
service
in
its
entirety,
because
they
were
having
the
same
challenge
as
us
and
couldn't
go
with
that.
K
We
managed
to
collect
95
of
our
garden
waste
throughout
the
whole
of
the
summer
period,
which
I
think
is
a
a
real
positive
that
we
should
be
we
should
be
proud
of,
and
when
council
colton
references
that
there's
nothing
in
there
about
a
service
review.
Well,
that's
what
the
review
is.
The
route
review
is
looking
at
the
future
collection
arrangements
for
the
service
within
the
context
of
the
the
resources
and
the
money
we've
got
available
to
us
looking
forward.
D
Yeah,
thank
you,
chair,
I'm
listening
to
this
with
increasing
incredulity.
I
have
to
say,
if
you're
coming
from
out
of
the
country,
to
to
listen
to
this
and
read
the
report
and
hear
from
councillor
rafiq,
you
would
think
everything
was
wonderful.
There's
no
problems
in
the
service
everything's,
fine,
everyone's
bins,
get
collected
on
time.
We
now
hear
the
astonishing
claim.
There's
an
overspend,
a
5.3
million
pound
isn't
really
an
overspend
at
all
anymore.
I
think
that
was
the
words
that
were
used
and
I'll
caveat.
D
My
criticisms
have
been
absolutely
crystal
clear,
they're
aimed
solely
at
councillor
rafiq.
Nobody
else,
just
you
just
so,
and
I
think
you
were,
I
think
councillor
dalton
was
making
exactly
the
same
point.
I
think
anyone
here
was
criticizing
staff.
D
The
criticism
is
for
you
and
it's
fully
deserved
what
I
would
challenge
you
counselor
rafiq
is
to
come
to
my
ward
or
ponzi
or
armly
or
somewhere,
like
that
and
repeat
what
you've
just
said
about
how
wonderful
the
service
is
to
my
residents,
who
repeatedly
don't
have
their
bins
collected
on
time
same
streets
time
after
time
after
time.
D
Several
months
ago,
I
sat
with
with
you
and
your
officers
made
some
suggestions
for
how
we
could
try
and
address
that
in
the
short
term.
It's
a
really
simple
thing
so
because
one
of
the
issues
was,
the
bins
were
regularly
full
halfway
along
the
route.
So
we
suggested
why
not
reverse
it
every
other
time,
so
at
least
it's
not
the
same
people
quite
simple.
Could
we
do
that?
No,
we
couldn't
a
number
of
other
suggestions.
D
We
made
the
engaging
private
providers
who,
in
theory,
are
processing
less
waste
because
more
people
are
producing
it
at
home,
which
means
they're
not
producing
it.
In
a
business
there
are
commercial
waste
products
in
our
ward.
That
could
probably
probably
help
no
feedback
as
to
whether
that's
happened
or
not.
Council
gone
just
pointed
out
to
me
that
when
you
said
about
staff
absences,
there
was
a
point.
Last
year
in
the
83
staff
off
on
the
same
day,
three
of
them
had
covered.
The
majority
have
been
given
holiday.
At
the
same
time.
D
That's
bad
management,
that's
nothing!
To
do
with
covet.
I
think.
Picking
up
on
councillor
lewis's
comment.
The
majority
of
people
taxpayers
in
leeds
expect,
as
a
very
bare
minimum,
that
their
bins
get
emptied
on
time.
D
They
don't
mean
within
48
hours,
they
mean
on
time
and
if
it's
missed
that
it
then
gets
picked
up,
and
I
think
there's
a
huge
disconnect
between
the
rosy
view
of
your
report
and
your
comments
on
what
the
people
of
leeds
are
actually
experiencing
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
And
I
hope
you
will
accept
the
challenge
to
come
to
my
awards
and
join
me
and
my
colleagues
and
go
and
visit
our
residence
and
hear
what
they
have
to
say
and
do
the
same
in
pudsey
and
do
the
same
in
army
in
other
parts
of
the
city.
J
Yeah
I
mean
we
you,
you
did
raise
something
with
me
back
in
august.
I
think
we
did
have
a
meeting
and
as
far
as
I
know
and
I'll,
let
john
to
come
in
on
this-
we're
not
aware
of
any
any
further
challenges.
I
do
know
that
since
august
till
the
14th
of
december
we've
had
six
inquiries
from
your
ward
this
year,
the
year
before
we
are
13,
inquired
he's
doing
the
same
period
the
year
before
we
are
28
inquiries
during
this
every
year.
J
So
for
you
to
suggest
that
is
actually
the
service
and
we
can
go
back
another
five
years.
You
know
or
or
beyond,
say
that
I
think
I
think
it's
actually
hitting
below
the
belt,
and
you
are
you
know
whether
you
say
it.
No,
you
can
say
a
hundred
things
to
me.
I
you
know,
I'm
fine.
I've
got
thick-skinned
council
alarm
in
camps
and
golden,
but
the
reality.
J
The
matter
is,
you
are
having
a
go
at
the
very
staff
who
actually
go
out
in
a
very
difficult
circumstances,
in
adverse
weather
conditions
will
go
out
and
empty
out
bins
and
done
an
excellent
service.
I'd
say
an
excellent
service
for
that
for
the
residents
of
this
city,
and
can
I
just
say
when
we
have
the
you
know
the
the
the
the
snow
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
some
of
the
comments
from
people
on
on
even
on
twitter
from
public.
J
Well,
despite
the
you
know,
the
challenges,
the
miss
bins
and
where
to
go,
were
very
positive
because
people
do
appreciate,
I
don't
think
actually
that
appreciation
actually
turns
when
it
comes
to
elected
members.
You
know
into
appreciate
I'm
sorry
to
say
that,
but
that
is
the
case
I'll.
Let
john
come
in
on
some
of
the
some
of
the
details
and
logistical
issues
here.
A
D
K
I'll
go
first,
jeff,
that's
okay
and
then
I'll.
Let
just
let
john
say
a
few
words.
I
just
wanted
to
make
reference
to
the
statistics
that
council
lamb
just
referred
to,
that
council
galton
passed
to
him
councillor
galton
made
the
same
reference
to
those
statistics
on
monday
this
week.
K
When
I
I
briefed
him
on
this
report,
and
there
were
statistics
I
had
not
seen
so
it
was
difficult
in
that
briefing
to
to
comment
upon
them,
but
I've
now
gone
away
and
researched
them
and
just
for
clarity,
I
just
think
it's
important
for
our
members
just
to
understand
what
what's
what's
been
said
here.
So
statistics
were
provided
for
one
particular
day
in
terms
of
collections
and
on
that
particular
day
we
listed
the
number
of
individuals
who
were
off
for
various
reasons
and
yes,
it
is
correct.
K
There
were
only
three
people
off
with
co
direct
covered
symptoms
that
particular
day,
and
there
were
other
people
off
on
sickness
absence
and
other
people
off
an
annual
leap.
I
think
the
thing
to
reinforce
is
that
managing
an
operational
service
like
this,
we
have
a
plan
throughout
the
year
in
terms
of
how
many
staff
we
allow
off
at
any
particular
given
time
in
terms
of
leave
and
at
that
particular
time
of
year,
the
number
of
staff
that
we
would
normally
allow
it
being
summer
holidays
was
that
the
level
that
was
on
that
particular
day
statistics.
K
Maybe
we
could
have
cancelled,
but
would
that
have
been
a
good
thing
to
do
for
people
who'd
worked
during
a
pandemic
for
18
months
with
very
little
leave,
so
what
we
did,
what
we
started
to
do
is
manage
the
resource
capability,
the
best
effect
that
we
could
and
we
got
out,
95
of
the
garden
waste
roots,
plus
100
of
the
green
and
black
roots,
and
I
think
it's
just
important
to
clarify
those
statistics.
I
don't
know
if
john
wants
to
add
anything
specific
about
the
weatherby
issue.
B
Thanks
james
just
just
very
briefly,
really
just
to
say
that
you
know
that
recognize
what
councilm
says
in
terms
of
we
had
some
difficulties
and
whether
it
be
over
the
panda
because
we're
having
a
lot
of
wards
and
the
report
doesn't
seek
to
hide
that
we
we
have
difficulties
as
well.
We
always
do
every
year
with
the
collection
of
refuse
and
where
we
can,
we
work
locally
with
war
members
around
solutions
to
those
issues
across
all
wards
and
yeah.
B
We've
met
with
all
whether
we
award
members
and
our
my
area,
managers
and
team
leaders
continue
to
work
really
closely
with
whatever
ward
members,
and
particularly
over
the
last
two
or
three
months.
B
The
the
view
that
that
that
I
see
is
that
we've
dealt
with
a
significant
number
of
those
issues
that
were
being
raised
and
I'm
I'm
getting
very
few
issues
escalated
to
me
in
particular,
one
or
two
long-standing
issues
in
wetherby,
relating
to
access
on
a
couple
of
difficult
streets
to
access,
have
been
resolved
with
more
members,
support
and
help
and
working
with
us
on
specific
collection
points.
So
so
I
I
from
my
view
and
I'll
as
usual.
B
I'm
very
happy
to
to
make
councillor
lam
and
his
colleagues
out
outside
of
the
meeting
and
discuss
if
that
view,
is
a
wrong
one
and
and
continue
to
work
with
them
closely
on
the
solutions.
But
from
where
I
say
we
do
seem
to
be
working
well
together
in
whether
to
be
with
board
members
and
closely
and
and
dealing
with
the
issues
that
have
been
raised.
A
Thank
you,
john.
I
don't
see
any
more
comments
on
this
paper,
so
I'll
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
311
and
take
it.
Everybody
is
happy
with
those
recommendations.
Thank
you.
So
we
move
on
to
the
economy,
culture
and
education
portfolio
and
we're
going
to
divide
these
papers
up
between
us
in
terms
of
who
leads
on
those
so
item
13,
which
is
whether
b
high
school.
A
A
When
I,
when
I,
when
I
said
I
attended
boston,
spa
school
down
the
road,
I
am
pleased
I've
got
over
that
I've
got
over
that
and
I
am
pleased
to
be
bringing
this
paper.
I
know
it
is
a
culmination.
A
This
comes
at
the
end
of
of
of
years
of
work
in
terms
of
trying
to
find
a
solution
to
rebuild
whether
be
high
school
within
the
funding
available
to
us
as
the
council
and
the
funding
available
within
whether
b
and
I'm
pleased
alan
lammy's
at
today's
executive
board
meeting,
because
I
know
it's
been
a
a
good
piece
of
work
between
the
service
and
the
weatherby
ward
members
to
bring
this
forward
and
the
plan
is
to
rebuild
the
high
school
on
a
smaller
site
with
capital
receipts
from
land.
A
The
existing
school
stands
on
to
bring
that
forward
and
other
sources
of
local
funding.
The
report
today
is
seeking
agreement
for
that
approach
and
there
is
an
exempt
appendix
which
goes
into
some
more
detail
and
to
hopefully
we're
aiming
to
have
to
rebuild
the
school
by
september,
2024
and
looking
to
with
the
agreement
of
executive
board,
looking
to
seek
agreement
from
the
dfe
in
terms
of
their
permission
to
release
school
land.
To
take
this
forward.
A
Like
I
say,
I
think
it's
been
a
a
good
piece
of
work.
I
believe
parts
of
the
school
date
back
to
world
war
ii,
making
one
of
the
oldest
schools
in
leeds
and
again
between
us.
We
we've
been
able
to
bring
this
project
forward.
I
won't
say
any
more
in
terms
of
introduction,
because
people
around
the
table
being
far
more
involved
than
I
have
in
this
project
who
may
want
to
add
more
to
it.
D
Yeah
well,
thank
you,
chen
nice
to
have
a
change
of
tone
on
this
one
so
had
I
have
had
a
vote
on
this
one.
I'm
pretty
sure
I
would
have
been
voting
in
favor
of
this,
so
I
I
can
give
wholehearted
support
from
my
perspective,
it's
14
years
of
work
to
get
to
to
this
point.
I'm
sorry!
D
Actually,
council
prayer
is
not
here
today,
because
there
are
many
people
to
thank
and
it's
not
often
as
opposition
members
we
come,
but
council
of
prayer
has
been
really
willing
to
to
work
and
engage
with
us
as
whether
it
be
war
members.
D
It's
a
very
ambitious,
complicated,
complex
scheme,
but
it's
the
absolutely
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
it's
taken
a
lot
of
faith
on
council
prior's
part
to
to
actually
give
the
political
commitment
and
I'm
incredible
great,
incredibly
grateful
that
he
has
done
that,
and
I
really
applaud
him
for
being
willing
to
work
with
us
and
it
just
shows
what
we
can
do
when
we
put
our
differences
aside
and
actually
get
stuck
into
a
difficult
problem
together
to
try
and
find
a
solution.
D
And
there
are
a
lot
of
other
people
to
thank
as
well
I'd
like
to
thank
particularly
tom
for
showing
leadership
and
supporting
us
councillor,
blake
previously
of
baroness
blake
now,
who
for
many
years,
did
to
try
and
engage
and
support
neil
and
martin
who
have
really
gone
above
and
beyond,
and
all
of
their
teams,
specifically
viv.
Buckland
who's
been
getting
nagged
about
this
by
me
for
a
long
time.
Enormous
thanks
to
jane
at
the
james
warren
ahead
of
the
table.
D
I
did
warner
before
and
I
was
going
to
say
nice
things
about
her,
which
might
not
necessarily
necessarily
help
her
standing
in
the
council,
but
but
nonetheless,
it's
it's
thoroughly
deserved
her
and
her
team
have
done
an
incredible
job
to
work
with
us
to
to
find
ways
to
to
bring
this
forward
and,
finally
to
the
the
staff
and
governors
and
pupils
at
the
school.
It
even
predates
the
second
world
war.
It's
the
the
site
was
the
last
landship
in
the
uk.
D
Hms
series
and
parts
of
the
building
are
still
used
for
education
purposes
today,
and
it's
a
staggering
achievement
that
such
a
good
standard
of
education
is
still
being
delivered
and
I'm
so
proud
and
happy
to
to
be
at
the
executive
board.
Today,
when
the
council
affirms
its
view
that
it
is
going
to
give
those
staff
pupils
and
governors
the
building
they
deserve,
and
it
will
make
a
huge
impact
to
the
wider
weatherby
community.
So
it's
yeah.
I
just
thank
you
all
for
being
willing
to
to
do
this
for
our
community.
E
Yes,
thanks
chair,
I'm
gonna
be
positive
as
well.
I
think
this
is
a
good
example
of
when
people
are
given
the
free
reign
to
do
so
that
creativity
can
happen
when
people
are
convened
in
partnership
for
a
common
goal
and
as
many
of
you
will
be
aware,
wetherby
high
school
and
roy's
high
school
were
the
last
two
big
investment
projects
for
high
school
buildings
in
leeds
over
recent
years
after
benton
park
got
its
solution
through
a
an
expansion
of
its
pupil
numbers,
but
for
schools
that
didn't
want
to
expand.
E
The
options
are
very
limited
and
I
I
would
like
to
have
followed
a
similar.
What's
the
word
a
similar
model
to
that
which
has
been
applied
to
weatherby.
I
know
it's
not
all
signed
off
and
not
everything.
It
still
waits
to
be
delivered,
but
I
think,
with
goodwill,
it
should
do
I'm
a
little
bit
disappointed
that
I
don't
think
the
same
option
is
afforded
to
us
anymore,
around
roid
school,
primarily
because
that
school
has
now
been
academized
by
the
government
and
therefore
the
authority
can't
take
a
lead
role
in
creating
local
community-based
solutions.
A
Thank
you,
council
golden
and
obviously
royde
serves
mine
and
council
harlan's
ward
as
well
and
again
I
mean
we
could
spend
a
good
chunk
of
the
afternoon
debate
in
the
academization
process
the
impact
has
had.
I
don't
think
I
don't
think
we
need
to
do
that,
but
certainly
we're
all
all
committed
to
taking
rights
unfold
and
looking
now
it's
an
academy
looking
what
options
there
are
on
that
note
there
is
an
exempt
appendix
which
we'll
we'll
cover
later,
but
I
will
take.
A
Everybody
is
happy
with
with
that.
With
that
paper
and
we'll
move
on
to
item
14,
which
council
cooper
is
going
to
take.
C
Thank
you,
chair
and,
and
I'm
really
pleased
actually
to
be
introducing
this
paper
on
behalf
of
councillor
prior
who
can't
be
with
us
this
afternoon
on
the
great
jobs
agenda
and
the
leeds
anchors
network,
and
let's
hope
we
can
keep
the
the
good
vibes
going
at
executive
board
this
afternoon,
while
while
we're
dealing
with
the
rest
of
the
papers,
shall
we
so
I
think
actually,
this
is
a
an
excellent
report.
I've
got
to
say:
that's.
C
C
That's
happened
as
as
an
employer
ourselves,
they're
all
of
on
our
council
employment
agenda
and
the
work
that's
gone
on
in
the
last
year
and
a
half
nearly
two
years
now,
and
some
really
good
detail
around
the
future
talent
program
around
the
green
jobs
agenda
and
a
lot
of
the
work
that's
happening
there.
C
I
think
it's
important
to
to
let
executive
board
known
it
is
is
in
the
report
that
we,
as
a
organisation,
have
paid
the
real
living
wage
since
2015,
and
the
report
is
requesting
support
for
us
to
continue
to
do
that.
We've
also
worked
with
the
anchor
institutions
around
paying
the
real
living
wage
and
now
that
represents
58
000
employees
in
the
city
who
receive
the
real
living
wage
through
the
anchor
institutions,
work,
which
has
been
no
mean
feat.
C
We
know
that
there's
still
more
work
to
do
in
the
city
to
encourage
other
other
other
firms
and
employers
to
pay
the
real
living
wage
and
that
work
will
continue
so
yeah
I'll
leave
it
there
for
now
chair
unless
there's
any
other
questions.
E
Thanks
chair,
I
was
hoping
to
get
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
future
talent
and
green
jobs.
As
I
was
pointing
out
earlier.
E
I
think
the
skills
agenda
is
going
to
be
one
of
the
it's
the
issue
that
needs
to
be
progressed
at
pace
from
now,
if
we
are
able
to
fully
take
advantage
of
the
potential
or
the
opportunities
that
there
are
for
the
green
economy,
but,
more
importantly,
to
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
facing
shortages
in
these
sectors
in
the
future,
because
the
capacity
hasn't
been
created
within
our
places
of
learning-
and
I
just
and
I
see
that
the
future
talent
is
going
to
report
back
in
spring,
because
the
work
has
already
taken
place
over
this
winter
and
I'm
I'm
really
interested
in
the
green
jobs
agenda,
because
it's
one
of
the
things
I've
noted
in
a
lot
of
reports
is
that
we're
not
very
good
at
defining
what
green
jobs
are
or
which
particular
sectors
we
are
hoping
to
develop
and
generate
and
shape
the
market
of
in
our
own
geography.
E
F
Thank
you
chair,
so
my
name's
ivy
rutas,
I'm
the
chief
officer
for
culture
and
economy
at
the
council.
F
So
just
in
relation
to
those
two
questions,
you're
right,
councillor
galton,
the
future
talent
work
has
been
ongoing
through
the
autumn
and
we've
recently
concluded
the
consultation
on
on
the
future
talent
plan
and
we're
working
in
the
first
couple
of
months
next
year
to
to
form
the
plan
and
bring
that
to
council
in
spring
on
the
green
jobs
work
we're
part
of
the
inclusive
growth
network
and
through
that
network
we
have
access
to
the
centre
for
progressive
policy
who
have
just
begun.
F
So,
looking
at
the
leeds
economy,
its
breadth,
where
the
opportunities
lie
in
terms
of
jobs,
growth
and
where
we
might
look
for
opportunities
to
be
able
to
support
manufacturing,
for
example,
to
pivot
and
respond
to
opportunities
that
arise
from
working
towards
net
zero
and
that
work
we
haven't
yet
identified
when
we'll
bring
that
to
two
executive
boards,
because
we
expect
there'll
be
a
second
phase
of
work.
After
we've
done
that
first
piece
with
the
center
for
aggressive
policy,
and
we
know
more
around
it.
F
But
all
of
that
will
inform
the
next
stage
of
our
inclusive
growth
strategy,
which
you'll
know
runs
until
2023.
C
Yeah
in
the
report,
there
is
some
detail
on
the
green
jobs
agenda
and
if
you
look
at
paragraph
19,
20
and
21,
councillor
golden
and-
and
it
just
well
says
about
the
work
done
in
the
low
carbon
and
renewable
energy
sector
in
in
the
city
as
well-
and
the
work
we've
done
to
decarbonize
38,
publicly
owned
buildings
as
well,
which
is
cutting
the
city's
carbon
emissions
by
nearly
4
000
tons.
C
So
that's
just
a
bit
of
detail,
but
but,
as
they
they've
said,
there
will
be
much
more
coming
in
the
spring.
Thanks
sure.
L
Thank
you,
leader,
yeah,
just
on
the
the
green
jobs.
It
we're
not
even's
absolutely
right,
and
she
explained
it
really
well
there
in
terms
of
looking
up
the
city
as
a
whole
and
what
opportunities
there
are
and
what
we
need,
but
we're
already
working
on
green
jobs
as
council
coopers
just
but
also
we
are
working
with
schools.
L
So
I
recently
spoke
at
a
greens
career
event,
we're
working
with
lee
city
college,
in
the
college
of
building
and
and
in
in
terms
of
partnership
with
situ
and
with
all
with
various
different
partners,
to
bring
those
opportunities
and
to
young
people,
and
so
the
work
is
already
going
on
in
the
city,
identifying
kind
of
what
skills
we
need,
but
also
in
working
with
young
people
and
schools
to
open
them
up
to
the
idea
of
going
into
most
sustainable,
long-term
green
jobs.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councillor
hayden.
I
don't
see
any
more
comments
on
the
paper,
so
I'll
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
three,
three,
eight
I'll
take
it.
The
board
is
happy
with
this,
so
I'm
gonna
move
on
to
item
15.
A
the
framework
delivering
major
events
in
leeds
I'll
say
a
couple
of
words
of
of
introduction
to
this
paper,
which
asks
us
to
ask
us
to
do
two
things.
It's
the
adoption
of
the
events
framework
which
will
look
at
how
we
work
about
bringing
major
events
taking
us
forward,
and
we
all
know
that
major
events
bring
bring
life
to
the
city.
A
They
bring
profile
and
it
brings
visitors
spending
their
money
into
the
city
and
I
think,
as
we
move
out
the
coverage
pandemic,
particularly
in
hospitality
and
leisure
sectors,
that
will
be.
That
will
be
warmly
welcome.
A
There's
a
couple
of
events
that
are
specifically
referenced
in
here,
which
is
asking
us
to
agree
to
host
a
world
triathlon
series
in
next
year
in
2020,
for
building
on
our
really
strong
reputation
for
delivering
great
triathlon
events
and
and
and
particularly
important
for
us
as
well
a
a
a
very
inclusive
events.
A
In
terms
of
the
number
of
people,
whether
it's
people
new
to
the
sport
or
whether
it
is
whether
you
know
it
was
the
2021
event
which
was
held
alongside
the
para
triathlon
event,
we're
looking
forward
to
the
rugby
league
world
cup
coming
to
the
city
delayed
due
to
covert
and
we'll
host
more
games
in
than
any
other
city
as
well.
That's
that's
the
two
parts
to
the
report
as
it
takes
us
forward
again.
Very
much.
A
A
framework
part
is
about
how
we'll
work
in
the
years
ahead
to
continue
to
continue
to
deliver
world-class
events
in
leads
and
ones
that
like
say,
bring
profile
and
investment
to
the
city.
As
I
said,
it's
a
a
paper,
I
said
I
would
introduce
eve
if
you
want
to
add
anything
to
my
words
of
introduction.
Please,
before
I
open
it
up
to
the
board,
I
think
we're
okay,
okay,
any
questions
or
comments.
Counselor
lamp,
please.
D
Yeah,
thank
you
chip,
but
you've
set
out
a
lot
of
the
benefits
of
these
events,
which
I
agree
with
and
and
support.
But
it's
also
important
to
me
that
they
don't
come
without
downsides.
D
Rowdy
park
is
a
particular
example:
it's
one
of
the
jewels
in
the
crown
of
the
the
city
great
place
for
events,
but
it
has
a
significant
burden
on
local
residents
whenever
we
do
have
an
event
and
we've
got
to
make
sure
that
we
we
get
the
balance
right
of
of
getting
these
events
for
the
city,
but
we
also
recognize
and
do
something
about
the
impact
it
has
on
the
quality
of
life
of
local
people.
D
The
second
point
I
would
make
is
just
making
sure
and
getting
a
reassurance
in
doing
this,
that
we're
bringing
in
additional
support
for
the
service,
and
this
isn't
going
to
take
and
divert
existing
park
staff
who
are
doing
important
jobs
already
and
sort
of
putting
pressure
elsewhere
in
the
service,
so
be
grateful.
If
we
have
a
reassurance
on
that,
please.
A
Thank
you
again,
I
think
you're
right.
You
know
it's
a
point
about
evaluating
the
evaluating
the
impact
of
events,
events
on
local
places
and
making
sure
local
people's
local
people's
views
are
taken
into
account.
Southern
council
island
had
a
resident
when
the
tour
de
yorkshire
came
through
that
wanted
to
make
sure
the
police
were
checking
the
speed
of
the
cyclist
on
the
sections
that
were
a
30
mile,
an
hour
zone,
so
I
always
wanted
to
sort
of
take
and
take
into
account
the
views
of
local
people.
K
Please,
yes,
I
can
comment
briefly.
Thank
you
so
in
terms
of
any
additional
events
at
roundy
park,
for
example,
we'll
be
looking
at
commercial
related
events,
and
in
doing
that,
we
would
be
looking
for
that
commercial
provider
to
actually
cover
all
of
the
costs
involved.
So
we
didn't
have
to
divert
any
resources
from
elsewhere.
That
would
have
a
negative
impact,
so
I
can
provide
that
reassurance
to
council
law.
E
E
I
think
it
depends
on
the
event,
and
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
good
things
that
the
paper
actually
discusses,
because
it's
great
to
get
a
higher
profile
for
our
city,
in
the
expectation
that
hopefully,
that
recognition
will
deliver
inward
investment
or
a
greater
reputation,
which
will
then
have
dividends
later
on.
But
sometimes
a
large
event
can
feel
like
it
is
being
delivered
in
the
city
for
the
benefit
of
the
event
host
and
for
a
very
selected
group
of
people
that
come
into
the
city,
taking
the
event
and
then
disappear
again.
E
And
I
think
it's
really.
The
most
successful
events
are
those
which
are
the
most
inclusive,
and
I
think
the
triathlon
events
which
have
been
mentioned
have
made
an
effort
in
making
sure
that
these
aren't
just
events
that
happen
in
leeds.
E
They
are
events
that
leads
can
get
involved
with,
and
I
know
that
that's
hopefully,
the
model
which
leads
2023
is
hoping
to
engender
when
it's
celebrating.
What
we
do
in
this
city
and
hoping
the
outside
world
takes
note.
E
But
it
has
been
the
tendency,
sometimes
when
we
are
involving
some
commercial
operators
that
actually
it's
merely
a
transactional
relationship
between
the
city
council
as
a
big
corporate
body
and
another
organization.
E
And
for
instance,
I
remember
when
we
were
talking
about
test
cricket
and
how
important
that
was
to
yorkshire,
county
cricket
and
for
headingley
stadium,
and
we
were
told
it
brings
30
million
pounds,
for
you
know
investment
into
the
city,
but
it
always
felt
to
local
residents
that
that
money
wasn't
coming
their
way.
It
was
going
into
the
big
brewery
corporations
that
ran
the
pubs
around
the
stadium
and
it
actually
caused
more
issues
for
them
than
it
did
benefit.
E
And
I
do
think
that
when
we
are
curating
this
marketing,
that
we
are
aware
of
needing
to
make
it
something
which
is
attractive
for
the
community
which
hosts
it
rather
than
just
the
corporate
partners
who
sign
the
deal.
A
Thank
you,
I
think.
That's
you
know
again
in
terms
of
looking
at
the
options
we
take
when
we
choose
to
host
or
not
or
bid
or
not
for
events
of
those,
a
really
important,
really
important
considerations
to
take
into
account.
A
And
again
you
know,
I
I
look
again
the
work
around
the
triathlon
around
the
go:
try
development
work
that
happens
all
year
all
year
round
as
a
good
example
of
that
you
have
an
event
that
puts
us
on
the
world
stage
in
terms
of
coverage,
but
also
you
know,
you
see
people
of
all
ages,
trying
a
sport
for
the
first
time
and
get
involved
in
a
sport
for
the
first
time
again
that
community
stuff
is
really
important.
You
know
come
to
if
anybody
comes
to
kippux.
A
I
know
it's
a
bit
of
an
out
of
the
way
place
to
get
to,
but
screwed
on
the
wall
of
the
library
and
community
hub
is
the
award
we
received
for
being
the
best
village
on
the
tour
de
yorkshire
route
because
of
the
work
we
did
not
one
year,
but
three
years,
the
most
satisfying
one
was
the
one
we
beat
garfield
in
that
competition,
but
it
is
you
know
if
it
is
getting
just
getting
that
engagement
and
looking
what
you
can
you
know,
as
well
as
on
the
high
profile
and
the
big
events,
it
it
it's
what
we
can,
what
we
can
generate
for
communities
that
interest
and
and
and
that
lasting
that
lasting
impact,
the
lasting
impact
of
people
working
together,
sometimes
differently
in
the
ways
they
did
before
to
I'm
achievable.
A
I
think
if
you
can
get
all
that
right,
it
is
the
right
recipe
for
this,
and
it's
certainly
something
again
when
options
are
available.
We're
very
mindful
of
on
that
point.
I
will
don't
see
any
more
comments
on
the
board
on
that
paper,
so
I
will
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
372
and
I
see
everybody
is
happy
with
those.
So
we
move
on
to
councillor
iris
paper.
Please
item
16.
F
Public
parks
and
green
spaces
provide
a
fundamental
role
in
making
cities
attractive
places
to
live
and
visit
with
parks
in
leeds
hosting
over
45
million
visits
a
year
and
88
of
local
park
users
describing
spending
time
in
them
as
either
essential
or
important
to
their
quality
of
life.
Given
their
significance,
it
is
important
that
a
strategy
is
in
place
and
to
ensure
parks
and
green
spaces
are
managed
in
a
way
that
maximizes
their
potential
to
benefit
local
people
and
the
environment.
F
The
aim
of
this
strategy
is
to
set
out
a
vision
for
our
parts
and
countryside
service
and
the
actions
that
will
be
undertaken
by
the
service
to
deliver
that
vision
over
the
next
10
years.
The
strategy
was
developed
following
an
extensive
public
consultation
process,
which
identified
a
number
of
prior
priorities.
F
The
details
of
the
public
consultation
process
are
available
on
at
appendix
b.
The
proposed
vision
is
to
provide
the
best
parks
and
green
spaces
in
the
uk,
based
on
feedback
from
users
and
knowing
the
fantastic
parks
and
related
facilities
we
have
in
needs.
I
believe
that
this
is
an
attainable
goal
which
will
make
a
significant
contribution
to
the
council's
ambition
to
be
the
best
city
in
the
uk.
F
There
are
eight
priorities
proposed
in
in
the
strategy:
quality,
climate
and
biodiversity,
access
for
all
culture,
child
friendly
working
with
communities,
financial,
financial
sustainability,
health
and
health
and
well-being
for
each
priority.
Specific
aspirations
and
the
actions
that
will
be
undertaken
to
achieve
them
are
set
out
in
the
strata
strategy
document.
109
actions
are
identified
in
total.
F
These
will
be
delivered
over
the
next
10
years.
By
focusing
on
the
priorities,
the
parts
and
countryside
service
will
be
able
to
support
the
council's
three
pillars.
For
example,
the
climate
emergency
is
addressed
in
the
strategy
through
an
ambitious
tree
planting
scheme
involving
planting
50
hectares
of
woodland
woodland
each
year.
F
Of
course,
the
parks
and
countryside
servants
can't
deliver
excellent
parks
and
green
spaces
without
working
with
communities,
ward
members
and
a
whole
range
of
other
partners,
which
is
why
working
with
communities
is
also
highlighting
as
a
priority
in
the
strategy.
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
all
our
volunteers,
friends
of
and
in
bloom
groups,
for
their
vital
contributions.
F
Parts
are
a
fantastic
free
resource
that
everyone
can
use
and
enjoy
in
recent
times,
particularly
during
the
pandemic,
people
have
come
to
value
urban
public
green
spaces
and
recognize
the
importance
our
parts
and
green
space
provide
opportunities
for
leisure
relaxation
and
exercise,
but
are
also
fundamental
to
communication,
community
cohesion,
physical
and
melting
mental
wellbeing,
along
with
climate
change
mitigation
and
local
economic
growth.
We
are
keen
to
ensure
that
public
green
space
and
leads
continue
to
deliver
these
benefits,
and
this
strategy
will
help
achieve
that.
Thank
you.
A
D
Just
just
a
quick
bit
of
clarification,
my
understanding
is,
there
was
already
a
plan
in
place
to
reduce
the
number
of
flower
beds
and
planting
in
parks,
and
so
the
question
does
this
supersede
that
plan
and
are
you
still
going
ahead
with
reductions
in
in
firebird
planting
and
the
the
concern
is,
is
in
some
areas
like
my
opacity,
where
we've
got
town
and
parish
councils
brilliant
in
bloom
groups,
and
things
like
that,
then
they'll
always
make
sure
everything
is
looking
pristine.
D
Our
council
team
does
a
brilliant
job,
but
if
we're
going
to
reduce
things,
you
might
end
up
with
a
two-tier
effect
where
some
parts
of
the
city
see
reductions
in
planting
and
things
like
that.
So
can
you
give
us
a
reassurance
about
that.
B
Hello,
libra
sean
fleischer,
chief
officer
parks
and
countryside
yeah,
so
the
the
plan
is
that
we
were
actually
we're
not
actually
reducing
the
number
of
flowers
that
we
have
in
our
parks
and
green
spaces.
What
we
are
doing
is
changing
the
type
of
flower
that
we
use
so
we're
moving
away
from
traditional
bedding
plants,
which
probably
don't
have
the
benefits
of
wildflowers
in
terms
of
attracting
pollinators
and
and
other
valuable
wildlife.
B
So
the
plan
is
to
actually
inc
to
actually
increase
the
number
of
flowers
we
have
through
using
wildflower
areas,
more
naturalistic
planting,
so
we're
still
going
to
have
some
formal
bedding
we're
going
to
keep
the
formal
bedding
in
our
cemeteries
on
our
wall
memorials
as
appropriate.
We're
also
keeping
quite
a
lot
of
the
formal
bedding
in
our
community
parks.
But
what
we're
also
doing
is
introducing
wide-ranging
pictorial
flow
meadows,
wildflower
meadows
across
the
city,
which
I
hope
will
transform
the
feel
and
look
of
the
city
in
a
more
positive
way.
E
Thanks
chair,
I
tend
to
have
a
lot
of
correspondence
with
our
park
section,
which
is
sort
of
an
inverse
proportion
to
the
numbers
of
people
within
it.
E
I
know
that
it's
been
particularly
challenged
over
recent
years
in
terms
of
the
number
of
staff
it
has
and
and
in
certain
quarters,
their
retention,
because
I
know
a
lot
of
being
attracted
to
nearby
authorities
have
a
higher
wage
rate,
for
instance
on
the,
but
on
the
other
hand,
it's
a
stage
where
parks
are
at
their
most
popular,
that
they've
been
for
a
long
time
and
are
very
much
well
appreciated
by
the
populations
that
they
serve.
The
reason
why
I've
been
in
correspondence
with
parks.
E
We
found
it
very
hard
to
understand
who
it
was
that
we
would
talk
to
to
enable
that
to
happen
within
the
council
and
we
we
do
have
disability
specialists,
but
within
parks
and
countryside.
E
It
didn't
feel
like
there
was
anybody
that
was
really
what's
the
word
gender
on
the
issue,
and
I
like,
and
I'm
glad
to
see
that
in
this
report
it
it
points
to
accessibility
as
being
really
key
to
the
future
development,
but
it's
very
scant
on
detail
of
how
that
will
happen,
and
what
I'm
all
I'm
going
to
say
here
is:
please
involve
your
local
councillors
to
better
engage
your
local
community,
because
there
are
plenty
people
out
there
that
want
to
be
involved.
E
So,
for
instance,
we
wanted
to
do
disability
access
audits
on
our
local
parks.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that,
in
our
natural
environments,
we
could
at
least
guarantee
that
20
of
the
space
could
be
accessed
with
a
wheelchair
or
a
mobility
scooter
and
there's
no
one
to
engage
with
at
the
moment,
and-
and
I
would
like
to
see
that
curated
so
that
we
can
take
that
forward.
Thanks
chair.
F
Yeah
just
to
say,
yeah,
absolutely
of
course
it's
really
important
that
you
know
our
parts
are
accessible
by
everybody.
But
if
you
look
at
one
of
the
actions
actually-
and
it
is
a
short-term
action,
it
does
say
to
develop
a
process
for
auditing
the
accessibility
of
our
site
and
to
have
a
plan
on
a
page
for
each
community
page
and
I'm
sure
your
comments
will
be
taken
on
board
and
elected
members
will
hopefully
feed
into
that.
B
Yeah
so
short
term,
we
we're
thinking
within
two
years
realistically,
so
you
know
we,
if,
if
this
strategy
is
approved
today
at
executive
board,
we're
looking
at
refocusing
some
of
the
part
of
the
services
within
the
parks
countryside
service
to
help
us
deliver
these
outcomes.
So
there's
eight
specific
actions,
for
example,
on
accessibility
and
we're
making
arrangements
to
work
with
partners.
So
the
parks
forum
are
very
keen
to
do
undertake
access
audits
that
includes
all
the
friends
groups,
etc.
B
You
know
want
to
look
at
their
own
site
and
pull
together
that,
of
course,
we
do
the
lqp,
where
we
specifically
measure
access
and
we've
got
a
firm
commitment
to
ensure
that
all
our
parks
and
green
spaces
meet,
or
certainly
our
community
parks
meet
level,
seven
for
access
on
there
and
there's
a
real
firm
commitment
to
provide
a
plan
on
a
page
for
every
community
park
over
the
life
of
the
strategy,
and
that
is
something
that
we're
going
to
hit
the
ground
with
immediately
as
soon
as
we
as
soon
as
this
strategy,
uploads
approved.
A
Thank
you
sean.
I
don't
see
any
more
comments
on
this
paper,
so
I'll
turn
to
the
recommendations
or
the
recommendation
on
page
390
that
we
approve
the
strategy
I'll
take
it.
Everybody
is
in
agreement
with
that.
A
That's
great,
thank
you!
Everybody
and
we'll
move
on
to
council
hayden's
portfolio,
please
and
item
17.
L
Thank
you
leader,
so
item
17
is
seeks
approval
to
commence
six
week.
Consultation,
public
consultation
on
main
modifications
recommended
by
the
independent
planning
inspector,
who
was
appointed
to
examine
the
remitted
part
of
the
leeds
site
allocation
plan
commonly
referred
to
as
the
sap,
and
it's
and
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
the
whole
team
on
the
work.
That's
gone
on
for
many
years
on
the
sap
and
on
particularly
on
this
remitted
part
of
it
over
the
last
few
months.
L
Particular
thank
thanks
to
martin
elliott
for
his
work
and
his
the
time
spent
and
his
intelligence
when,
when
being
examined
by
the
independent
planning
inspector
other
people
in
the
team
as
well
so
I'll
leave
it
there.
Thank
you
leader,.
A
D
Thank
you
just
very
briefly,
chair
first
just
to
echo
the
thanks
to
martin
and
his
team
for
the
brilliant
job
they
did
through
the
inspection.
D
I
think
we
said
most
of
what
we
needed
to
say
in
the
last
council
meeting,
so
I
I'll
spare
you
spay
of
that
again,
but
I
would
just
like,
on
record
to
re-off
reaffirm
our
group's
view
that
we
absolutely
support
the
36
sites
being
put
back
into
into
the
green
belt.
But
our
strong
view
is
the
baraby
lane
site
should
also
be
going
back
into
the
green
belt,
set
at
the
very
least
until
there's
a
proper
employment
review.
A
E
Just
wanted
to
express
our
support
for
those
sites
that
are
mentioned
here
to
go
back
into
the
green
belt
formally,
which
was
the
intention
anyway,
and
and
was
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
had
great.
What's
the
word
great.
E
Support
reassurance
that
the
council
was
going
to
achieve
its
goals
in
doing
that.
My
group
is
less
opinionated
on
the
last
site
in
question,
given
that
it
has
significant
employment
potential,
but
we
will
still
be
reserving
our
position
on
the
paper
and
saving
our
comments
for
council.
A
Something
to
look
forward
to
thank
you,
council
dalton.
Are
there
any
more
com?
Are
there
any
more?
Are
there
any
more
comments
on
this
paper?
I
don't
see
anybody
want
to
speak.
So
I'm
turning
to
the
recommendation
on
page
four,
seven,
eight
that
we
approve
the
public
consultation
on
this
and
item
b
so
take
it.
I
picked
up
councillor
golton's
comment.
I
take
it.
Everybody
else
is
happy
with
that.
Thank
you
and
we
move
on
to
the
last
item.
Councillor
hayden,
please.
L
Thank
you
very
much
leader,
so
this
is
the
integrated
rail
plan
for
the
north
and
midlands
and
the
outcome
implications
for
leads.
L
So,
as
the
title
says,
it
sets
out
the
key
issues
of
the
integrated
rail
plan,
which
was
published
on
the
18th
of
november
2021
so
last
month
and
the
specific
implications
it
has
for
leads.
It
also
has
around
eight
recommendations,
half
of
which-
or
at
least
half
of
which
seek
clarity
and
actually
use
those
words
on
certain
aspects
of
this
plan
and
what
it
means
for
leeds
and
west
yorkshire
and
the
north
in
general,
or
the
north
east
in
general.
L
So
I
will
hopefully
everyone's
had
a
chance
to
read
it.
It
gives
a
lot
of
the
history
and
context
of
this
integrated
rail
plan
over
the
last
10
11
years,
which
consequently
is
the
same
age
as
my
children
so
and
hope.
Hopefully,
if
we
get
greater
clarity,
we
can
have
some
way
forward
as
they
grow
up
and
enter
adulthood,
and
hopefully
it
will
take
that
long
before
we
we
can
move
forward,
but
I
will
leave
it
at
that
leader.
Thank
you.
D
It's
just
a
brief.
I
mean
we
are
where
we
are
aren't
we,
I
think
the
the
key
thing
from
the
point
we're
at
is
making
sure
we
really
quickly
address
the
lead
station
capacity
issues,
because
it's
nearly
impossible
to
develop
any
other
plans
until
we
increase
the
platform
capacity
and
in
terms
of
what
we
can
do
locally.
That's
what
we
can
that's
what
we
can
do
and
I
think
that's
one
of
the
the
key
things
we've
got
to
get
on
with.
E
All
right,
thanks
chair,
I
was
hoping
for
a
little
bit
more
from
council
alum.
I
would
appreciate
the
conservative
group's
opinion
on
the
plan,
which
has
been
put
forward,
which
was
expressed
by
the
government
as
being
even
better
than
that
which
was
originally
planned
for
for
my
group.
E
However,
one
of
the
things
that
this
paper
does
highlight
is
that
there
is
no
clarification
as
to
what
the
alternative
is
meant
to
be
to
that
route,
or
indeed,
whether
or
not
this
council
might
actually
be
deciding
that
the
original
route
was
the
best
and
should
be
pursued
once
more
or
whether
or
not.
Actually,
that
is
actually
a
decision
for
the
council,
because
it's
so
opaque.
E
Taking
that
investigation
forward
I'm
looking
around
because
that's
the
information
I've
been
given,
it
doesn't
look
like
anybody
else
is
confirming
that,
so
it
doesn't
really
feel
like
it's
a
default
decision
either,
even
if
the
money
is
sort
of
being
given
to
us,
but
is
then
being
spent
by
somebody
else,
which
doesn't
seem
to
be
quite
right.
E
E
A
Thank
you.
Councillor
gone,
I
think
you
know
I've
heard
council
hayden
describe
this
as
a
disintegrated
rail
plan.
It
does
feel
a
little
bit,
I'm
a
little
bit
in
terms
of
the
the
pieces
of
the
jigsaw
that
seem
further
scattered
in
terms
of
our
approach
and
again
I
thought
it
was
important.
The
first
executive
board
after
the
publication
of
the
plan
we
did,
we
did
set
out
in
a
structured
way
the
information
and
clarity
that
we
felt
we
needed
before
moving
forward.
H
H
If
you
like
partnership
with
government
with
with
our
regional
partners
and
ourselves
on
making
sure
that
we
can,
we
can
deliver
real
improvements
to
transport
in
this
in
this
city
and
between
other
parts
of
the
region
and
wider,
because
leeds
plays
that
pivotal
role
on
the
east
of
the
pennines
economically
and
in
labor
market
and
housing
market
terms.
And
if
50
of
the
trains
are
late
going
through
league
station,
then
it
means
that
that
has
knock
on
effects
right
across
the
country.
H
And
that's
the
position
we're
in
at
the
moment
and
that's
why?
The
point
about
capacity
is
really
really
important.
The
other
thing
about
capacity
is
that,
in
whichever
way
you
choose
to
the
government
chooses
to
fund
the
the
enhancement
of
that
capacity
has
a
direct
knock-on
effect
to
the
way
that
we
plan
the
city,
not
just
in
the
city
centre,
but
the
impact
that
has
on,
for
example,
housing
across
the
city.
So
we
have
got
to
get
this
right
next
time.
The
ant.
H
The
direct
answer
to
council
golden's
question
is
that
it
is
dft
who
are
in
charge
of
that
100
million.
We
had
a
meeting
with
them
and
network
rail
and
others
this
morning,
where
we've
been
trying
to
encourage
the
partnership
approach
that
I
mentioned,
and
we're
keen
to
move
forward
with
that
workers
as
quickly
as
possible,
but
the
that
what
we
need
now
with
that
there
are
some
good
things
in
this.
H
You
know
mass
transit,
hopefully
moving
forward
with
the
commitment
for
services
to
be
running
this
decade
is
something
that
in
other
times,
we'd
be
would
be
celebrating
about
as
a
city
and
as
a
as
a
as
an
exec
bard
and
as
a
partnership,
but
because
it's
in
the
context
of
all
the
changes
and
the
lack
of
clarity,
as
the
paper
makes
clear
and
as
councillor
hayden
very
clearly
articulated.
H
That's
the
the
problem
we're
in.
We
thought
we
were
going
to
be
able
to
move
forward
once
we
got
this
integrated
rail
plan
in
terms
of
how
we'd
link
to
london,
how
we
linked
to
our
other
cities
on
the
east
of
the
country
and
how
we
think
across
the
west
of
the
pennines
we
aren't.
Unfortunately,
so
that's
the
piece
of
work
that
needs
to
happen
needs
to
happen
as
quickly
as
possible,
and
we
are
encouraging
our
colleagues
in
dft
and
network
rail
and
others
to
to
do
that
as
quickly
as
possible.
A
A
Great.
Thank
you,
everybody.
That
brings
us
to
the
end
of
the
public
part
of
the
meeting.
So
I
will
just
wish
everybody
a
very
merry
christmas
and
hope.
2022
is
is
better
than
2021
and
thank
everybody
for
attending.
