B
Thank
you
good
afternoon
everybody
and
welcome
to
the
march
meeting
of
lead
city
council
executive
board
which,
because
of
the
lockdown
restrictions
we
are
holding
remotely,
so
I
will
welcome
everybody
to
the
meeting
and
go
to
the
top
of
the
agenda
and
we'll
start
with
item
one
which,
when
I
get
to
the
top
of
my
agenda,
is
appeals
against
refusals
of
inspections
of
documents.
B
C
Chair
appeals
to
confirm
chair,
no
pills
have
been
received
for
today's
meeting.
A
B
Thank
you.
Can
I
ask:
are
there
any
disclosable
pecuniary
interests
that
any
members
of
the
board
wish
to
declare
at
this
point.
B
B
Okay,
just
before
we
start
the
start,
the
papers
on
this
agenda,
I
would
like
to
formally
welcome
councillor
harland
council
arif
and
councillor
hayden
to
their
first
meetings
of
to
their
first
meeting
of
the
executive
boards
being
appointed
at
the
february
full
council
meeting,
and
with
that
I
will
ask
council
of
enemies
if
you
could
introduce
your
papers.
E
Yes,
thank
you
chair,
so
the
first
two
papers
that
I'm
going
to
introduce
are
the
safeguarding
adults
board
annual
report
and
the
safeguarding
children's
board
annual
report.
It's
the
statutory
requirement
that
the
safeguarding
adults
and
safeguarding
children's
reports
are
produced
and
for
both
reports.
E
E
So
I
would
note
that
both
reports
refer
to
some
of
the
joint
work
that
the
boards
are
undertaking.
For
example,
the
children's
school,
the
adults
board
and
safer
leads
board
work
jointly
on
addressing
domestic
violence
in
the
city
and
there's
also
a
theme
of
think
family
that
is
across
both
reports.
So
coming
to
the
adults
report.
E
E
So
with
those
brief
introductory
comments
chair,
it's
my
great
pleasure
to
hand
over
to
richard
jones
who
can
present
the
report
more
fully.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
very
much
councillor
lewis
and
thanks
for
the
introduction
council
event
so
yeah.
I
I'm
delighted
to
be
able
to
present
the
lead,
safeguarding
adults
board
annual
report
for
19
1920.
It's
always
kind
of
feels
like
the
world.
The
world
has,
without
a
doubt,
moved
on,
but
we're
kind
of
formally
presenting
our
report
as
jazz
vinder
is
as
well
for
that
year,
1920
and
within
your
pack.
You've
got
an
easy,
read
version,
which
often,
I
think,
really
gets
to
the
nub
of
what
it
is.
We
want
to
say.
C
Perhaps
that
says
something
for
how
we
can
collapse.
What
would
not
be
an
easy
read
version
and
then
something
about
our
priorities
going
forward,
and
I
can
just
touch
briefly
on
the
the
year
to
date.
If
you
like,
2021
I'll,
assume,
you've
read
the
reports,
I
just
wanted
to
really
pull
out
three
or
four
things.
I
feel
really
proud
about
that.
C
I
think
make
a
difference
for
our
ambitions
and
leads
to
make
this
say
a
safe
place
for
all
our
citizens,
and
particularly
those
who
have
vulnerabilities
as
a
result
of
care
and
support,
needs.
We've
been
working
for
the
last
period
of
time
with
four
key
priorities
and
council
event
has
already
mentioned.
One
of
them
talk
to
me
here
my
voice.
C
This
has
been
work
that
has
been
generated
co-produced
by
citizens
across
leeds,
with
our
involvement
with
a
huge
number
of
groups
in
terms
of
people
defining
what
it
is.
That
good
looks
like
in
terms
of
safeguarding
practice
rather
than
professionals,
and
I
think
the
thing
I
feel
most
proud
about
as
your
independent
chair
is
that
we've
launched
that
way
of
working
in
terms
of
our
policy
and
procedures
at
the
start
of
1920,
and
we've
continued
to
drive
that
forward
and
we've
driven
it
forward
in
a
whole
range
of
different
ways.
C
But
for
me
again,
the
two
things
I
feel
most
proud
about
is
the
way
in
which
we've
used
ambassadors,
so
people
with
lived
experience
to
take
those
messages
to
frontline
staff
to
partners
third
sector
partners
too.
So,
rather
than
it
being
somebody
like
me,
it's
something
like
susan
who
chairs
leap,
one
who
goes
and
tells
people.
C
This
is
what
it
means
for
us,
and
that
has
miles
more
impact
and
it
was
great
to
see
leap,
one
recognized
in
terms
of
an
award
through
adults
and
health
late
last
year.
C
The
other
thing
I
feel
really
positive
about
is
the
work
we've
commissioned
through
advent,
which
is
hear
my
story
giving
people
the
chance
to
come
back
independently
through
through
an
independent
means
to
say
this
was
my
experience
you
might
have
intended
it
to
be
like
this,
but
this
was
really
my
experience,
we're
starting
to
work
with
the
richness
of
what
it
is
that
people
are
saying
to
us
to
ensure
that
our
practice
does
move
forward
and
that
we
pay
attention
to
what
it
is
that
makes
a
difference.
C
So
those
are
two
of
the
things
I
feel
most
proud
about
in
terms
of
the
year
1920
and
we've
done
it.
We
did
a
huge
range
of
work
both
with
safer
leads
in
terms
of
a
big
review
of
people
living
street
based
lives,
and
then
with
colleagues
jazvinder
and
colleagues
and
children.
Services
and
with
safer,
leads
around
a
young
man
who
who
died
as
a
result
of
just
not
getting
the
care
and
support
he
should
have
got
so.
C
We've
been
working
this
year
on
a
lot
of
actions
to
move
forward,
our
learning
and
in
terms
of
2021.
Clearly
covid
has
been
the
major
issue
that
we
wouldn't
weren't
planning
for,
and
that
really
has
been
the
focus
of
a
lot
of
our
workers
aboard.
So
I've
had
a
lot
of
one-to-one
sessions
with
board
members,
but
as
a
board,
we've
continued
to
to
meet
and
we've
continued
to
work,
and
one
of
the
big
priorities
for
us
has
been.
How
do
we?
C
How
do
we
understand
the
impact
that
the
lockdowns
have
had
on
those
vulnerable
individuals
and
vulnerable
communities,
so
those
estates
where
state
managers
aren't
out
in
those
communities
some
of
those
closed
doors
behind
which
we've
just
not
seen
what's
happening?
So
there's
a
lot
of
work.
That's
gone
on
around
that
and
around
the
issue
of
black
asian
minority
ethnic
communities.
So
you
can
see
from
the
report.
The
level
of
concerns
that
have
been
reported
through
to
safeguarding
arrangements
have
increased.
That's,
I
think,
a
positive
sign
about
continuing
to
reach
out.
C
The
number
of
referrals
has
in
is
increased
just
slightly,
but
if
you
look
at
our
take
up,
then
we
know
we've
still
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do
around
the
representation
of
referral
levels
from
some
of
those
asian
black
communities
and
particular
communities
like
the
chinese
community.
So
a
big
priority
for
us
as
we
move
from
lockdown,
is
how
do
we
use
existing
networks?
C
Some
of
the
great
works
going
on
throughout
outlook
health
around
the
listening
project
to
ensure
that
safeguarding
is
understood
by
all
our
communities
and
everybody
across
the
city,
I'm
not
going
to
say
anymore.
The
final
comment
from
me
is
just
huge
thanks,
I
think,
to
colleagues
across
the
city
and
all
the
partners
that
sit
around
the
board
for
the
work
that
they've
done
in
exceptionally
challenging
circumstances
during
the
year,
where
we've
continued
to
ensure
that
we
do
talk
to
people
hear
their
voice
and
make
leads
as
safe
a
place
as
possible.
B
Thank
you
richard
and
I'll
open
it
up
to
comments
from
the
board.
Please.
F
C
I
think
that's
a
really
good
question
councillor
galton,
what
we've
done
over
the
certainly
in
1920,
less
so
in
in
2021,
is
to
get
out
you're,
seeing
the
report,
the
groups
that
we've
been
talking
to
the
people
we've
been
engaging
with.
C
So
I
suppose
the
question
I
think
it's
as
much
a
question
for
jas
vender
and
the
children's
partnership
as
well
is
and-
and
I
think
well,
I
have
to
take
it
away-
it's
something
about.
How
would
we
use
elected
members
as
community
leaders
to
pro
promote
the
messages
to
use
some
of
the
materials
that
we've
been
developing
and
to
reach
out?
So
I
think
we
should
take
that
away
as
a
question
counselor
galton
in
terms
of
how
would
we
use
you?
C
What
in
what
ways
would
we
and
how
could
we
support
you
to
take
the
messages
out
into
the
huge
range
of
community
groups,
conversations
meetings
that
you
have
so
I
think
there's
something
just
about
the
four
priorities
that
that
kind
of
particularly
around
talk
to
me
here
my
voice
and
that
easy
read
version
that
gives
really
a
a
very
clear
message
about
what
it
is
we're
trying
to
achieve
and
what
it
is
we're
wanting
to
do.
C
But
I
think
in
final
response,
your
question
probably
is
the
one
I've
made,
which
is,
I
think
we
should
take
that
away
and
and
maybe
come
up
with
a
a
set
of
bullets,
a
sheet
of
information
that
we
could
provide
to
you,
but
all
council
members
in
terms
of
how
they
could
support
the
board's
priorities
and
ambitions,
particularly
as
we
start
to
move
out
of
lockdown.
Hopefully,
so
I
don't
know
if
that
helps
that
that's
certainly,
I
think
something
we
should
take
away
as
a
as
a
as
a
positive
challenge.
B
E
Yes,
thank
you
chair.
So
the
next
report
is
the
safeguarding
children's
landing
report
and
this
references,
the
bringing
together
of
the
leads
of
what
was
the
lead,
safeguarding
children's
partnership
and
what
was
the
children,
families
trust
board
into
one
board,
co-chaired
by
just
vinder,
and
I,
which
is
called
the
leeds
children's
partnership.
E
There's
a
focus
on
transitions,
and
I
wanted
to
highlight
that
because
transitions
is
also
a
priority
in
the
all-age
mental
health
strategy
and
in
the
future,
mind
strategy
which
covers
children
and
young
people's
mental
health
and
well-being
within
a
safeguarding
context.
Transitions
particularly
refer
to
children
who
are
at
risk
of
exploitation
with
that
sexual
criminal
exploitation
and
needing
to
ensure
that
when
they
reach
18,
if
they
are
still
at
risk
of
exploitation,
there's
a
seamless
transition
in
terms
of
the
support
that
they
receive.
E
So
again,
with
those
brief
notes
chair,
it's
my
pleasure
to
hand
over
to
jasmine
sangura
who's,
the
independent
chair.
G
Thank
you,
councillor
benner,
and
thank
you
for
the
invitation.
This
is
actually
my
first
annual
report
is
your
independent
chair.
So
this
is
my
second
year
in
post
and
it's
good
to
be
here.
G
So
the
first
thing
I'd
like
to
highlight
in
terms
of
my
role
is,
I
I
see
my
role
as
independent
chair
to
publish
an
annual
report
on
the
effectiveness
of
the
child,
safeguarding
promoting
the
welfare
of
children
and
to
be
absolutely
assured
that
the
systems
that
we
have
are
effective
and
that
I'm
transparent
about
that
and
I'm
able
to
give
you
that
objective
view
that
that's
where
I
see
my
role
and
I
try
to
have
relationships
with
many
people,
including
counsellors,
in
terms
of
having
those
conversations,
those
transparent
conversations
and
I'd
like
to
start
with
saying
that
I
really
do
recognize
the
work
and
the
investment
of
partners.
G
What
I
see
across
the
partnership
in
leeds
is
that
it's
one
in
which
there
is
high
challenge
and
there's
also
high
support
as
well,
and
we're
able
to
have
those
conversations
and
come
together.
I
am
absolutely
sure
about
that.
To
start
with,
so
you
have
the
annual
report
there.
In
front
of
you,
it
is
not
my
objective
to
go
through
it
completely,
but
just
to
pull
out
some
key
points.
G
I
think,
in
terms
of
the
partnership
arrangements
of
which
councillor
werner
has
mentioned,
that
we
now
have
the
children,
the
family
trust
boy
joined
with
the
executive
board.
G
I
think,
in
terms
of
the
actual
report
itself,
just
to
refer
to
transitions
as
councillor
venna
has
mentioned
that
that's
on
page
61,
that
conversation
will
be
in
partnership
with
the
adults
board.
One
of
the
things
that
I
have
felt
that
is
really
important
in
terms
of
the
children's
space
is
that
we're
working
across
boards,
and
with
that
in
mind,
I
have
regular
meetings
with
chairs
of
other
boards.
So
we
cannot
have
that
conversation
with
our
adults.
G
We
have
to
have
that
conversation
collectively
if
we
think
family
work
family,
that
joint
working
is
key
and
that's
something
that
we
are
embedding
as
a
service
in
terms
of
yesterday,
just
to
say
I
I
met
with
as
part
of
one
of
our
priorities.
G
In
fact,
it
is
that
review
that,
whereby
I
engage
with
councillors
to
have
a
conversation
in
terms
of
their
championship
roles
in
the
in
their
communities-
and
it
was
a
very
engaging
conflict
conversation
so
councillor
galton.
That
was
one
way
of
engaging
with
councillors
actually,
and
a
lot
came
out
of
that.
One
of
the
things
I
did
yesterday
as
part
of
that
review,
which
I'm
leading
with
the
review
officer,
is
I
met
with
over
80
designated
safeguarding
leads
across
our
city.
G
G
Everything
comes
back
to
schools
actually
and
I'd
just
like
to
bring
to
your
attention
the
point
that
the
teachers
made
to
me
in
the
covert
space
that
they
are,
anticipating
that
many
children
will
be
holding
disclosures
of
domestic
abuse
and
the
feeling
of
the
need
to
do
something
now
to
be
proactive
in
raising
awareness
is
key,
and
I
will
certainly
take
that
counselor
cooper
to
the
domestic
abuse
partnership
board,
and
we
can
have
that
conversation
in
terms
of
how
we
do
that
in
this
space.
Now,
because
that
that
is
being
picked
up
by
the
review.
G
You'll
see
that
child
protection
plans
on
excuse
me
in
terms
of
being
communities
is
actually
higher.
38.8
of
cases
are
higher
in
2020.
So
that's
a
point
to
make
there
the
point
about
page
52,
the
greatest
potential
for
preventing
deaths
lies
in
sudden
unexpected
deaths
of
babies
and
road
traffic.
G
Just
to
point
out,
I
should
have
said
this
right
at
the
beginning.
Actually,
the
way
this
report
has
been
presented
is
I've
chosen
to
highlight
in
blue
areas
for
improvements
or
areas
of
good
practice
to
make
it
easy
for
you
to
read
it.
That's
the
way
I've
done
it
in
terms
of
early
help.
If
you
look
at
the
reports
of
early
health,
around
referrals,
the
highest
referrals
are
in
relation
to
children
in
mental
health
and
domestic
abuse.
G
Again
so
there's
a
theme
there
and
I
think,
from
my
perspective,
in
terms
of
the
priority
of
vulnerable
learners.
I
know
richard
has
pointed
this
out.
I
think
the
joint
safe
garden
review
we
have
done,
which
highlights
elected
home
education
and
the
fact
that
we're
in
the
covert
space
now
is
a
real
opportunity
for
us
to
have
a
think
about
that
space.
G
As
a
as
a
watershed
moment
in
terms
of
safeguarding
children,
young
people,
I
just
wanted
to
assure
you
that
we
are
having
those
conversations
as
part
of
the
task
group
for
that
group
and
across
the
partnership
arrangement.
So
I
think
I
just
wanted
to
assure
you
of
that
too.
I
I
don't
think
I
have
anything
else
to
add
here.
If
anybody
has
any
questions
of
me,
the
only
thing
I
will
say
is
that
appendix
3
you
will
see
the
responses
to
covid
from
august
2020..
G
B
Thank
you,
jazvinder.
Are
there
any
members
who
want
to
comment?
I
see
councillor
golton's
hands
up.
F
It
was
a
practical
question
really,
and
I
know
that
the
safeguarding
board
has
paid
particular
attention
of
late
in
terms
of
a
foregoing
priority,
to
look
at
children
that
are
being
educated
from
home,
primarily
because
they
have
less
contact
with
official
agencies
and
therefore
any
disquiet
is
harder
to
identify.
F
But
I
also
wanted
if
the
level
of
children
looked
after,
which
are
in
outsourced
placements
outside
of
the
authority.
Whether
that
in
any
way
makes
it
also
more
difficult
because
of
that
distance
to
perhaps
monitor
their
well-being
as
a
self-safeguarding
board
as
well
or
whether
that's
not
really
highlighted.
As
a
as
a
major
issue.
G
So
counselor
galton-
in
all
honesty
I
haven't
picked
up
on
that,
but
that
is
certainly
something
I
think
that
we
can
consider
in
those
conversations
in
that
space,
so
we
we
can
take
that
forward
and
ensure
that
he's
covered.
As
part
of
that
conversation,
I'm
sorry
you've
moved
over
there.
If
that
assures
you,
we
can
certainly
have
that.
As
a
conversation
I
will
ensure
that
is
on
the
agenda.
A
You
chair
two
quick
questions:
if
that's
all
right
for
just
vender,
you
mentioned
elected
home
education.
Is
this
looking
back
at
the
last
year
of
home
education
under
covered
or
more
thinking
about
those
people
who
made
a
conscious
decision,
the
the
elected
choice
and
whether
they
want
to
take
it
going
forward
home
education?
And
the
second
is
that,
given
the
serious
safeguarding
concerns
that
were
raised
previously
in
in
council,
by
schools
and
in
the
media
around
the
managed
area
and
the
managed
approach?
G
So
I'll
I'll
tackle
the
first
part
of
your
question,
it's
both!
So
it's
looking
back
and
look
at
those
given
the
fact
that
we've
seen
a
significant
increase
in
children
being
elected
at
home,
but
also
when
we
think
about
elected
home
education.
There
are
various
reasons
for
why
people
children
are
educated
at
home.
It
can
be
that
they've
chosen
to
it
can
be
that
they've
been
off-road.
It
can
be
exclusions.
It
can
be
a
number
of
things.
G
So,
looking
at
this
from
a
perspective
of
that
community-
and
you
know
looking
at
processes
and
systems
in
that
place
in
terms
of
the
managed
area
that
isn't
deliberate,
but
I
think
I
need
to
go
back
and
I
need
to
consider
that,
given
the
point
that
you've
made.
B
Thank
you,
javinder.
I'm
now
going
to
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
120
and
see
if
everybody
on
the
board
is
happy
with
those
I'm
gonna
take
it.
Everybody
is
okay.
When
we
want
to
item
8,
please,
council
event.
Thank
you.
E
Can
I
just
thank
justin
richard
for
coming
to
the
meeting
and
and
presenting
reports
with
me,
it's
very
nice
to
have
you
here
with
us,
okay,
so
my
next
report
I'm
delighted
to
present,
so
this
report
outlines
the
plan
to
develop
a
full
bedroom
children's
home
for
children
with
complex
health
needs,
which
includes
learning
disabilities
and
autism,
and
it's
going
to
be
modeled
on
our
offstage
rated
outstanding,
existing
children's
home,
which
works
with
children
with
similar
needs,
which
is
called
acorn
in
his
budget
speech,
councilor
galton
described
the
new
home
as
not
a
permanent
home,
but
more
of
a
day
center
with
rust
bugs
and
I'm
happy
to
report
that
that
is
not
the
case
and
never
has
been.
E
The
new
home
will
be
a
permanent
home
for
four
children
who
are
currently
outside
of
leeds,
and
it
should
be
open
from
early
2022..
The
report
is
seeking
approval
to
spend
the
money
to
build
the
home.
It's
in
temple,
news
award
and
the
ward
members
to
a
premier
on
executive
board
are
supportive
of
this
plan.
Thank
you.
B
F
Thanks
chair
on
this
issue,
I
am
pleased
to
be
proven
wrong
on
this
occasion.
If
this
is
if
this
is
permanent
accommodation,
I
think
I
was
basing
mine
on
a
previous
briefing
when
this
was
in
conceptual
stage.
F
However,
the
fact
still
remains
that
the
provision
of
this
home,
which
is
very
welcome,
still
only
accounts
for
less
than
half
of
the
demand
for
this
particular
cohort
of
children,
and
if
we
are
to
fully
take
up
our
responsibility
as
safeguarding
parenting
for
for
our
looked
after
children,
then
we
should
really
be
looking
at
a
more
significant
ramping
up
of
provision
of
our
own
accommodation
within
the
authority,
and
I
hope
that
this
is
the
first
of
many
such
investments
in
the
city.
E
Yeah,
I
think,
just
to
respond
briefly
to
council
girls
and
I'm
not
going
to
repeat
the
conversation
we
have
had
so
many
times
about
the
building
of
more
children's
homes.
I
think
we
have
been
really
clear
repeatedly
that
our
aspiration
for
our
looked
after
children
is
that
they
are
looked
after
in
family
settings,
primarily
where
possible,
within
their
own
families,
in
kinship
care
and,
if
not,
then
within
foster
families,
and
we
put
energy
into
recruiting
and
retaining
fantastic
foster
carers
that
can
look
after
children.
E
I
also
just
wanted
to
mention
I
this
was
referred
to
when
just
linda
is
here
as
well,
that
when
children
are
out
of
area,
sometimes
they're
not
very
far
away
at
all,
so
our
ferry
will
include
just
over
the
boundary
of
wakefield
and
bradford,
for
example,
and
is
often
children
who
are
living
with
families
just
out
of
there
and
all
our
placements
are
monitored.
So
it's
not
the
case
that,
if
children
are
not
accommodated
in
leaves
they're
not
being
safeguarded,
their
placements
are
monitored
regularly
by
social
workers
and
by
independent
reviewing
officers.
E
So
those
are
the
only
comments
that
I
would
make
in
conclusion
other
than
I'm
very
I'd
very
much
recommend
this
paper
to
you.
This
is
a
really
good
news
story
that
we're
going
to
get
this
home
in
leeds
full
for
children
with
complex
needs,
and
it
should
be
open
next
year.
Thank
you,
chair.
B
And
thank
you
councillor,
vena,
I'm
going
to
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
202
of
the
report
and
see
if
the
board
are
happy
with
those.
I
can
see
that
everybody
is
and
no
objections.
Okay,
thank
you
for
you
taking
us
through
your
papers,
councillor
venna
and
we'll
move
on
to
councillor
prior.
Please.
H
H
members
will
obviously
know
the
need
for
secondary
school
places
in
south
leeds
with
last
year,
actually
being
particularly
difficult
in
terms
of
providing
those
places
after
the
dfe
failed
to
deliver
the
lawrence
carver
free
school,
which
was
actually
approved
around
four
years
ago
now.
So
the
dfe
has
now
agreed
that
to
the
place
is
being
provided
in
a
temporary
location
until
the
free
school
can
be
built
and
they're
now
indicating
that
the
free
school
could
open
at
some
point
in
the
22-23
academic
year,
I
will
leave
it
there
for
opening
remarks.
A
Thank
you,
chair
yeah.
I
understand
from
reading
the
report
that
the
delays
that
were
in
place
now
I
wanted
to
ask
from
councillor
prayer
what
had
changed
since
last
summer,
because
I
understand
the
situation
was
very
similar
as
to
now,
but
the
report
is
only
coming
forward
now
and
it's
not
available
for
calling.
So
as
as
new
information
come
forward,
are
we
in
exactly
the
same
place
as
we
were
back
then.
H
The
situation
now
is
completely
different
from
last
year,
so
last
year
there
were
well
more
children
in
the
area
than
there
were
places
and
and
therefore
we
had
to
look
to
at
creating
additional
places
in
south
leeds
for
that
september,
and
that
was
the
issue.
The
issue
now
is
that
the
current
lawrence
calvert
hasn't
yet
been
signed
off
by
the
secretary
of
state,
but
we're
very
much
at
kind
of
the
you
know
it's
it's
all
the
work's
been
done.
H
It's
the
final
sign-off
that
hasn't
been
done
yet,
which
means
that
a
lot
of
children
in
south
leeds
have
been
offered
provisional
places
at
lawrence
caliber
and
then
the
moment
that
that
is
signed
off
by
the
secretary
of
state,
which
I
hope
will
be
very
literally
in
the
coming
days.
Then
those
conditional
places
become
unconditional
places.
So
we
are
in
quite
a
different
place
to
last
year.
A
I
guess
thank
you,
council
pride
thanks,
chair
yeah.
I
appreciate
those
comments,
but
it
it
strikes
me
that
this
problem's
been
persisting
for
some
time.
The
illusion
is,
is
that
the
this
is
all
the
government's
fault
and
that
the
the
council
has
done
everything
right
through
this
process
and
is
that
what,
firstly,
is
that
what
council
oppressed
saying
there
is
there's
no
blame,
there's
been
no
delay,
there's
been
nothing.
A
That's
been
done
wrong
through
the
council
in
the
four
years
that
this
has
taken
up,
but,
secondly,
that
it
seems
like
it
feels
like
we're
at
deadline
day.
Yeah,
it's
a
bit
like
transfer
deadline
day
and
finding
out
that
you
need
a
striker.
We
always
knew
that
this
was
going
to
come
and
we
always
knew
this
approach
was
going
to
be
taken
now.
A
This
report
is
not
available
for
calling,
so
that
members
cannot
send
it
back
to
the
executive
board
if
they
want
to
probe
this
further,
which
is
a
concern
for
me
and
I'm
sure
for
many
others.
H
You're
absolutely
right:
this
has
been
going
going
on
a
huge
amount
of
time.
You'll,
be
aware
when
the
conservative
government
came
in
and
I
think
it
was
in
2011,
they
prevented
local
authorities
from
opening
new
schools
ourselves.
So
I
I
think
the
problem
started.
Then,
when
the
government
banned
councils
from
opening
schools
and
the
system
then
was
we
as
a
local
authority-
would
then
inform
the
government
when
we,
when
we
need
a
new
school
which
is
ridiculously
centralized.
H
We
informed
the
government
that
we
needed
this
school,
I'm
not
sure
the
exact
date,
but
I
think
we'd
be
looking
kind
of
five
six
years
ago.
The
government
then
said
they
recognized
the
need
for
this
school
in
south
leeds
and
told
us.
It
would
be
delivered
in
2017.
H
H
What
we
do
with
schools
in
south
leeds
and
having
to
go
through
whitehall
is,
is
unnecessary
and
has
caused
these
problems,
we're
doing
our
best
to
try
and
get
things
sorted
as
quickly
as
possible,
but
actually
the
element
we
are
waiting
for
now
is
final
sign-off
from
the
secretary
of
state.
F
Yeah,
I
think
some
of
my
original
question
has
been
answered,
but
for
further
clarification.
I
I
just
don't
understand
what
it
is.
That's
delaying
government
from
delivering
this
school
has.
Has
the
council
actually
had
an
explanation
from
the
department
of
education
as
to
what
the
problem
is?
Is
it
there
aren't
enough
construction
companies
locally
to
build
out?
Is
it
an
issue
to
do
with
legit?
F
H
Like
I
don't
think
it's
my
job
to
to
kind
of
make
excuses
for
the
government,
quite
the
opposite,
in
fact,
but
I
would
say,
if
you're
looking
to
centralize
an
entire
country's
education
system
through
london,
then
you
you're,
creating
quite
a
lot
of
work
for
yourself
so
suspect
I
suspect.
That's
that's.
What's
caused
huge
amounts
of
delays,
I
mean
the
leeds
isn't
unique
in
this
in
this
situation.
H
A
H
A
I
guess
just
a
concern
here,
chair
that,
despite
what
was
going
on
previously
at
scrutiny
board
and
the
calling
that
took
place
before
that,
we've
now
reached
this
stage
that
lcc
could
have
taken
action
sooner
to
bring
this
forward,
and
we
now
have
this
1.5
million
bill
for
a
temporary
classroom
and
could
vote
in
22-23
before
seeing
a
new
school
in
in
23
itself.
That
is
a
concern.
H
A
B
Are
there
any
more
comments
on
this
item?
B
That's
great
so
now
turning
to
the
recommendations
at
starting
page
217
and
see
if
the
board
is
happy
with
those-
and
I
don't
see
any
objections
to
those
so
shall
we
move
on
to
item
10,
please
counselor
prior.
H
Of
course,
so
this
is
the
outcome
of
the
consultation
to
permanently
expand.
Brahmo
primary
school
from
40
to
60
reception
places
from
september
22.
as
the
school
is
an
academy.
The
expansion
proposals
have
been
put
forward
by
the
collaborative
learning
trust.
The
trust
is
the
decision
maker.
However,
the
bill
scheme
would
be
funded
by
the
local
authority
and
the
report
requests
the
authority
to
spend
1.2
million
the
number
of
families
in
brahmic
with
children.
5
is
increasing
and
expected
to
increase
further,
particularly
with
large-scale
housing
developments.
That's
currently
under
construction.
H
I
just
want
to
talk
very
briefly
about
the
the
consultation,
so
over
800
leaflets
were
distributed
to
housing
within
the
immediate
vicinity
of
the
school
letters
with
details
about
the
consultation
sent
home
to
all
parents
and
carers
of
children
attending
the
school,
as
well
as
information
provided
on
the
council
and
schools
websites,
emails
to
key
stakeholders
meeting
with
ward
members
kind
of
your
your
standard
consultation.
H
So
this
took
place
over
a
six-week
period
between
the
14th
of
december
last
year
and
the
24th
of
january
this
year,
with
two
public
virtual
meetings
taking
place,
providing
residents
with
the
opportunity
to
ask
any
questions.
H
H
We
see
the
report
stating
that
the
67
signatories
to
the
letter
stated
that
they
were
not
in
principle
against
the
proposal
to
expand
brahmo
primary
school,
provided
that
all
traffic
congestion,
highways
infrastructure
and
road
safety
issues
were
adequately
addressed
via
an
effective
traffic
plan.
Highways
have
responded
to
this
and
provided
a
response
to
these
concerns
during
the
consultation
period,
and
some
of
this
is
in
the
exec
report,
but
I
think
it's
it's
helpful
too,
to
cover
it
verbally
as
well,
so
in
terms
of
addressing
some
of
those
transport
issues.
H
Firstly,
a
transport
statement
is
to
be
produced
to
evaluate
potential
transport
impacts
from
the
proposed
expansion
with
mitigating
mitigation
measures
identified
to
avoid
unaccepted
and
severe
impacts
resulting
from
the
scheme.
H
Highways
measures
have
been
identified
as
being
required
would
be
would
need
to
be
incorporated
into
the
final
scheme
and
the
school's
travel
plan
is
to
be
updated
to
include
a
package
of
measures
designed
to
promote
walking,
cycling
and
scooting
to
and
from
the
school.
It's
increasingly
popular
additional
parking
is
to
be
provided
within
the
school
site.
H
Speed
surveys
could
be
undertaken
and
more
enforcement
measures
put
in
place,
and
so
that's
example,
for
example,
single
and
double
yellow
lines,
reduce
speed
limits,
etc,
and
the
closure
of
brewery
rise
to
school
drop
off
and
pick
up
traffic
as
part
of
the
safe
schools
scheme.
So
I'll
leave
it
there
for
opening
comments
and
welcome
any
questions
now.
Thank
you.
A
Thanks
chair
yeah,
I
read
the
letter
from
the
residents
too
and
understand
that
the
world
members
are
in
agreement
about
a
clear
commitment
to
improving
the
transport
around
to
the
school
and
the
provision
around
the
school
as
well,
so
just
to
be
clear:
we're
getting
a
comprehensive
traffic
management
and
transport
plan
for
the
school.
That's
the
commitment
that's
coming
today
and
if
in
what
council
operates,
said
that
he
said
that
if
there
are
any
unexpected
measures,
there's
obviously
the
expected
measures.
H
A
Think
that
would
be
helpful
for
the
community
who
obviously
raised
their
concerns,
very
understandably,
especially
child
safety,
and
given
the
report
we
heard
earlier
from
councillor
venna
about
children
who
knocked
down
and
the
risk
to
them,
the
community
would
appreciate
that
and
something
concise
being
given
to
them.
B
Thank
you,
council
robinson.
I
don't
can't
see
anybody
else
wishing
to
comment,
so
I
will
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
239
and
just
see
if
everybody
on
the
board
is
happy
with
those.
I
don't
see
anybody
who
isn't
so
I'll
take
those
as
accepted.
If
you
can
move
on
to
agenda
item
11,
please
counselor
prior.
H
Thank
you.
So
my
final
paper
is
on
co-gate
market
and
a
strategy
moving
forward,
so
there
was
last
an
approved
strategy
from
executive
board
to
curricate
market
back
in
2011.
So
this
is
an
updated
plan
for
the
next
five
years,
taking
us
to
2026..
H
The
strategy
sets
out
a
future
visit
vision
for
the
market
over
the
next
five
year
period,
which
is
an
inclusive,
successful
and
sustainable
part
of
our
city
center
offer
where
independent
retailers
can
innovate
and
thrive,
an
attractive,
safe
and
welcoming
destination,
where
our
investment
secures
the
unique
offer
for
future
generations
and
a
place
for
everyone
where
people
can
experience
leads
its
people,
its
heritage
and
its
culture.
H
I
I
think
all
of
us
here
know
how
much
how
valued
kirkgate
market
is
both
across
the
city
but
but
as
as
a
council
as
well,
but
obviously
the
market
is
facing
very
different
trading
circumstances
from
10
years
ago,
not
least
from
covid,
but
actually
there
have
been
significant
changes
over
the
past
10
years
too.
H
So
the
new
strategy
provide
promotes
a
more
flexible
approach
with
businesses
within
the
market
needing
to
be
more
competitive,
attract
new
businesses
and
new
customers,
as
well
as
keeping
those
it
currently
has,
and
in
fact,
even
in
pre-covert
times,
the
market
has
approximately
seven
million
visitors
a
year,
so
extensive
infrastructure
work
has
been
needed
to
some
areas
of
the
market
due
to
its
age.
H
I'm
sure
all
members
shop
regularly
at
the
market
and
while
some
of
the
infrastructure
work
that's
been
undertaken,
is
very
visible,
such
as
the
the
kind
of
the
block
shops.
All
the
work
is
less
so
and
kind
of
such
as
the
roof,
so
obviously
a
huge
amount
of
investment
has
gone
in
to
the
market.
Over
the
years
in
2019,
the
council
spent
an
additional
one
million
pounds
on
refurbishments
to
four
historic
units
which
have
now
been
left.
H
We
built
three
new
units
in
the
market
kitchen,
which
have
now
been
left
and
as
well
as
building
eight
units
in
the
1981
hall
to
support
tenants
having
to
relocate
because
of
other
improvement
works
going
on
occupancy
is
currently
91
of
available
units
in
the
indoor
market.
H
100
of
the
food
hall
and
41
for
the
outer
that
is
significantly
low
for
the
outer,
but
sadly
that's
a
trend
for
outdoor
markets
that
we
see
across
the
country
and
actually,
while
the
impact
of
covid
on
the
market,
isn't
the
primary
focus
of
of
this
plan.
Obviously
it
is
addressed
both
in
the
plan
and
in
the
report,
and
I
would
like
to
cover
some
of
this
now,
so
it
does
feature
in
section
3.2
of
the
report,
and
I
do
think
it
is
difficult
to
predict
how
people's
shopping
pay
shopping.
H
Behaviors
are
going
to
change
over
the
next
three
six
to
12
months,
as
we
kind
of
gradually
move
on
for
the
pandemic,
but
in
terms
of
covert
support.
Obviously,
traders
have
seen
their
rents
cut
between
50
and
100.
During
the
pandemic,
we've
kept
the
indoor
and
outdoor
market
open
every
day
during
the
the
pandemic
for
essential
retail,
in
accordance
with
government
restrictions,
we've
provided
approximately
603
000
pounds
of
direct
financial
support
traders
and
that's
in
addition
to
the
national
grant
support.
H
We've
agreed
that
further
125
000
of
direct
direct
financial
support
from
april
to
june
of
this
year,
we'll
be
going
in
we've
supported
digital
work,
with
leeds
boost
to
help
traders
maintain
routes
to
trade.
Virtually
we've
introduced,
cut
price
parking
deals
with
ncp
when
and
we've
introduced
an
electric
bike
delivery
trial
with
hermes
as
part
of
the
work
to
increase
the
customer
base
for
the
market.
H
We're
also
now
going
to
be
introducing
a
rent
discount
scheme
from
april
to
june
this
year.
So
this
is
going
to
be
tapered
to
reflect
how
hopefully
more
customers
will
be
returning
to
the
market
and
we're
going
to
be
starting
with
discounts
of
100
and
50
deep.
H
April
in
may,
there
will
be
discounts
of
50
for
both
and
in
june
25,
for
both
we're
linking
these
discounts
to
the
changes
in
the
national
restrictions
announced
by
the
prime
minister,
and
we
wanted
to
link
this
month
by
month.
So
we
can
help
traders
kind
of
with
planning
their
initial
stock
capacity,
but
should
the
government
alter
the
dates
for
unlocking?
H
B
A
Thank
you,
chair
yeah.
I
welcome
that
element
of
the
report
and
I
I
saw
the
comments
by
some
of
the
traders
who
were
saying
that
the
initial
work
for
the
report
was
done.
Pre-Covered
and
councillor
prior
alluded
to
this.
So
is
there
going
to
be
a
commitment
to
review
this
strategy
on
a
an
annual
basis,
engaging
with
the
traders
to
ensure
that
we
take
account
of
those
people's
shopping
habits?
H
I
mean
look:
the
traders
are
are
involved
with
kind
of
every
stage
of
everything
they're
on
the
market
board.
They
often
come
and
speak
to
to
councillors
to
the
chair
of
the
market
board,
and
actually
the
things
in
the
report
are.
Are
things
that,
yes,
you
know
we
should
have
been?
We
were
looking
to
look
at
kind
of
before
covid
and
they're
still
relevant.
Now,
it's
things
like
filling
empty
units,
increasing
a
digital
presence.
H
You
know
attracting
new
audience
to
the
market,
looking
at
opening
times,
methods
of
payments
and
investing
in
the
infrastructure.
These
are
all
things
which,
in
whatever
direction
kind
of
the
market
goes,
will
still
be
relevant.
They'll
still
be
important,
obviously,
as
kind
of
as
an
if
facts,
change
and
shopping
habits
change
further.
We
will
obviously
work
to
adapt
to
those.
Obviously.
A
Thank
you
would
it
be
also
very
possible
to
be
some
more
clarity
on
the
borrowing
around
the
market
as
well,
so
that
the
borrowing
situation,
the
prudential
borrowing
that's
been
taken
place
already
and
what
might
be
taking
place
in
the
future
and
any
impact
this
could
have
on
the
traders.
I
A
Yeah
sure,
no
problem,
it's
about
the
clarity
on
what
prudential
borrowing
has
already
taken
place
related
to
the
market
and
what
is
planned
to
take
place
and
then
impac
any
impact.
This
could
have
on
the
traders.
I
So
when
we
did
the
scheme
going
back
to
sort
of
2014
2015
that
was
supported
by
prudential
borrowing,
I
don't
have
the
figure
to
hand,
but
it's
in
our
accounts-
and
I
can
I
can
send
you
a
note
on
that.
Councillor
robinson
and
then,
when
members
approved
the
capital
program
as
part
of
the
budget
in
full
council,
as
outlined
in
the
reports
that
we've
got
in
front
of
us
today,
there's
some
seven
million
pounds
of
funding
to
support
the
essential
works
for
the
maintenance
of
the
market
ongoing.
I
So
that
will
have
a
boring
implication
as
well
that
that
relates
then
to
the
council's
overall
budget
and
the
directorate's
budget.
It
doesn't
really
have
a
relationship
in
terms
of
rents
in
how
we
know
how
we
set
them,
because
they're
set
more
on
market
forces
rather
than
cost
recovery.
I
So
I
think
there
are
financial
implications
for
the
council
that
I
can
set
out
in
the
note
to
you,
but
but
they
don't
have
a
direct
relationship
in
terms
of
then
to
to
traders,
because
the
direct
relationship
to
trade
is
this
service
charge
rather
than
rent
and
service
charge,
doesn't
reflect
borrowing
costs.
Thank
you.
F
Thanks
chair
the
council
strategy,
that's
been
published
for
us
today.
It
was
frustrating
for
me
when
I
read
it
because
it
didn't
feel
like
it
was
a
new
dawn
and
most
of
the
active
verbs.
Sorry
within
it
are
the
other
word
continue.
F
We
will
continue
to
do
this
and
we'll
continue
to
do
that
and
that's
fair
enough
if
we're
confident
of
the
trajectory
that
we're
on-
and
I
think,
there's
some
really
good
news
stories
in
terms
of
the
council
as
a
custodian
of
this
building
for
the
city
and
as
a
business
propagator.
F
So
some
of
that
enabling
work
around
making
sure
that
our
traders
have
access
to
really
good
mentoring
or
advice
in
terms
of
their
digital
marketing
and,
for
instance,
moving
from
cash
to
card
systems.
F
Then
I
think
that
that's
really
helpful,
but
I
do
think
that
we
have
lost
our
way
a
little
bit
in
terms
of
how
we
expect
to
get
to
the
next
stage
for
the
market,
because
most
of
the
headlines
in
here
seem
to
be
around
the
property
development
element
of
it
in
terms
of
the
george
street
end
and
how
there's
a
new
hotel
on
the
way
and
that
that
talks
to
the
john
lewis
development
over
the
road.
F
But
it
doesn't
actually
demonstrate
that
any
extra
business
has
been
delivered
from
that
relationship,
as
was
hoped
several
years
back
when
these
developments
were
discussed.
And
I
think
there
is
a
sharp
contrast,
potentially
in
the
future
well-being
of
the
market.
In
terms
of
that
end
of
the
market
and
the
other
end
of
the
market,
which,
although
the
block
shops,
have
had
some
attention
done
to
them.
I
feel
the
event
space
and
the
food
hall
is
less
successful
than
it
could
have
been
as
it
was
originally
envisaged.
And
I
just
think
we
could.
F
We
could
think
a
little
bit
more
imaginatively
as
to
how
we
can
actually
make
it
work
a
little
bit
better,
because
at
the
moment,
for
instance,
what
was
originally
called
the
day
market
hasn't
delivered
any
of
that
enablement
for
small
businesses
to
scale
up
and
test
their
products
on
a
market
stall
in
the
way
that
was
intended,
and
it's
actually
a
bit
of
an
echoey
chamber
for
those
people
who
access
it
and
not
the
best
environment
to
eat
your
food
if
you're
accessing
some
of
those
great
venues
that
are
in
there.
F
H
Yeah,
I
just
did
a
quick.
I
have
the
the
strategy
report
in
front
of
me
and
I
did
a
word
search
on
on.
The
word.
Continue,
as
you
said,
and
and
of
the
28
actions
we'll
be
taking.
Nine
of
them
have
continued
so
just
under
a
third,
and
I
think
that
recognizes
that,
actually
we
are
doing
a
lot
of
good
work
there
and
we
do
need
to
continue
that
good
work,
but
equally
two-thirds
of
the
things
we're
doing
are
you
know
we're
looking
to
do
new
things,
we're
looking
to
expand
further.
H
So
so
I
don't
think
that
that
criticism
is
is
particularly
accurate
and
secondly,
when
you're
talking
about
the
the
event
space,
in
particular
kind
of
where
the
food
hall
is
and
what
are
metrics
for
success.
There
I
mean
that's
the
part
of
the
market,
that's
a
100
occupancy,
you
know
they.
They
wouldn't
be
at
100
occupancy
if,
if
they
weren't
successful,
so
yes,
of
course,
we
need
to
do
more
with
that
space
and
we
can
do
more
with
that
space,
but
that
that
wouldn't
be
the
bit.
B
Thank
you,
councillor,
pryor,
I'm
lucky.
I
can't
see
anybody
else
wishing
to
comment
on
this
report,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
to
the
recommendations,
turn
the
recommendations
in
here
and
ask
if
people
are
happy
with
the
report-
and
I
take
it,
people
are
so
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
my
papers
and
the
snappily
titled
governance
arrangements
for
devolution,
open
brackets
protocol
for
concurrent
functions
and
associated
to
saturated
consents,
closed
brackets,
which
is
part
of
the
devolution
process.
We've
been
on
for
a
number
of
years
now
and
this
paper.
B
This
paper
is
really
establishing
the
relationship
that
we
will
have
moving
forward
with
the
mayoral
combined
authority
around
those
areas
where
we
will
work
together
and
where
we
will
see
our
and
their
functions
come
come
close
together
to
deliver
the
objectives.
We
all
want
to
see.
There's
two
parts
to
this
report,
there's
the
main
part
of
the
report,
which
reflects
the
joint
agreement
by
all
parties
to
this
and
then
there's
also
the
indication
of
some
of
the
next
step
of
the
work
is
once
the
once.
B
This
is
agreed
between
all
the
districts
and
the
mayoral
combined
authority,
and
we
know
what's
in
place
and
the
bit
of
work.
We
need
to
do
as
lead
city
council
on
how
we
will
deal
with
the
mayoral
combined
authority
internally
in
terms
of
receiving
notices
and
dealing
with
I'm
dealing
with
the
joint
working.
So
with
that,
I
will
ask
if
there's
any
questions
or
comments
on
this
report.
A
It
would
be
remiss
of
me
not
to
I
suppose,
on
a
report
like
this
to
say
that
it
should
be
welcomed.
The
collaborative
partnership
and
the
term
that's
struck
in
the
report,
and,
hopefully,
an
approach
of
transparency
that
will
take
devolution
forward
in
the
region.
A
B
I
don't
see
anybody
else
wishing
to
comment
on
this
report,
so
I
will
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
294
and
seek
approval
from
the
board
and
on
the
basis
that
nobody's
indicating.
Otherwise,
I
will
assume
this
report
is
agreed.
B
I
would
like
to,
and
I'm
just.
B
Being
I
have
just
been
reminded,
I
have
too
many
screens
open
on
my
laptop,
whilst
I'm
speaking
to
you
that
I
have
skipped
over
the
late
item,
which
is
the
covid
which
is
a
covid
update.
Report
item
number
12,
and
I
apologize
for
that.
So
I
will,
as
we've
done
the
the
combined
authority
report.
I
will
turn
to
the
covered
report
and,
first
of
all,
just
in
introducing
this
report.
B
I
I
think
we
should
it's
appropriate
for
us
as
an
executive
ball
to
mark
that
this
is
12
months,
since
we
as
a
council
and
the
city
started
responding
to
the
corona
virus
pandemic
and
it's
been
a
huge
and
a
huge
impact
on
all
of
us
and
all
of
the
city,
and
I
think
that
should
shouldn't
go
un
unnoted.
B
Also
as
of
as
of
yesterday,
we
know
that
1599
people
in
leeds
have
sadly
lost
their
lives
due
to
coved,
and
I
think
our
thoughts
will
be
with
their
families
and
loved
ones.
At
this.
At
this
time-
and
it's
a-
we
have
said
that
at
an
appropriate
time,
we'll
do
a
fitting
and
permanent
memorial
to
people
in
leads
who
have
lost
their
lives
to
to
coverage.
B
In
terms
of
turning
to
the
report.
It
covers
a
number
of
issues,
including
including
the
current
position
that
we're
at,
and
I
think
it's
fantastic
news
to
report
that
39
percent
of
people
in
leeds
that's,
some
285
000
have
now
been
vaccinated
and
we'll
continue
our
work
to
both
increase.
The
number
of
people
who
vaccinated
work
from
the
nhs
and
also
making
sure
that
everybody
who
is
entitled
to
the
vaccination
is
receiving
it.
B
I
think
that's
a
really
important
piece
of
work
to
make
sure
that
people
aren't
suffering
from
covid
in
the
future
unnecessarily,
because
people
haven't
had
the
opportunity
or
felt
that
they
could
come
forward
for
the
vaccination
there's
also
in
this
report,
as
well
response
to
the
government's
roadmap
about
how
we
start
to
reopen
our
facilities
and
how
we
also
look
to
support
businesses
that
have
currently
closed
needs.
B
Reopening
hospitality
sector
as
well
and
finally,
I
could
say
a
lot
about
this,
but
finally
just
to
flag
upon
appendix
a
our
refreshed
response
and
recovery
plan
which
we've
submitted
to
the
government.
So
I
will
leave
my
opening
remarks
there
and
see
if
there's
any
questions
or
comments
on
this
report.
A
Thank
you,
chair
yeah.
I
welcome
the
report
and
and
the
incredible
work
that's
been
done
by
officers
by
health
professionals
and
everybody
to
roll
out
the
vaccine.
It's
it's
absolutely
changed.
The
mood
of
the
country
pick
people
up
and
the
positivity.
That's
there.
If
you
go
to
a
vaccine
center
and
you
see
people
coming
out
and
the
smiles
on
their
faces
is
it's
like
a
new
lease
of
life
for
people
and
but
I
wish
to
ask
a
question
about
the
the
grants
that
are
available
through
the
council
scheme
that
I
mentioned
within
the
report.
A
My
understanding
is
under
the
arg
grants
that
only
about
17
have
been
spent
at
the
moment
and
that
there
are
businesses
that
are
still
waiting
on
a
reply
and
still
waiting
to
know
what
happens
with
their
discretionary
payment.
A
number
have
contacted
me
saying
they
haven't
had
any
funding,
yet
they
they
don't
know
where
they
are
in
the
process,
and
it
is
difficult
for
them
to
plan
for
the
future.
I've
raised
this
with
officers
and
I
appreciate
them
in
a
difficult
position.
A
The
council's
position
is
not
one
of
usually
giving
out
grants
in
this
way
and
it
it
is
difficult,
but,
looking
at
what
other
authorities
are
doing,
some
are
moving
much
faster
than
us
they're
getting
grants
out.
If
I
give
you
an
example,
there
have
been
a
number
of
driving
instructors.
A
A
number
of
them
are
saying
if
they
do
not
get
something
soon,
they
may
not
make
may
when
that
grant
would
be
received,
and
and
if
they
go
bankrupt,
they
cannot
work
as
driving
instructors
in
the
future.
They
will
essentially
be
struck
off,
which
is
a
cause
for
concern,
given
the
way
we
want
to
take
our
economy
forward
and
how
we
wish
to
bounce
back,
and
that's
just
one
sector,
those
driving
instructors.
There
are
a
number
of
others.
A
Who've
got
these
concerns
and
the
second
part
of
that
is
that
they
worry
that
others
will
get
a
second
bite
of
the
cherry
when
it
comes
to
a
grant
before
they
have
even
had
the
chance
to
receive
their
own.
So
what
can
be
done
to
speed
up
this
process
to
give
grants
to
those
businesses
and
offer
them
reassurance,
because
this
is
a
word
for
them
financially,
but
it's
also
a
distinct
word
for
their
own
mental
health
too.
I
I
I
think
the
distinction
we've
got
is
where,
as
a
council,
we've
distributed
more
than
220
million
pounds
of
grant
support
to
businesses
where
it's
payable
automatically
through
the
rating
system,
that's
relatively
easy
to
process
where
it's
individual
applications
that
need
to
be
verified
and
checked
and
needs
an
officer
to
appraise
them
that
that
is
more
resource
intensive.
So
there
is
a
situation
where
there
are
relatively
low
value
grants
that
need
a
higher
volume
of
office
of
time.
So
that's
where
we
brought
in
additional
resources
to
address
the
issue
that
you
raised.
I
We
did
also
in
terms
of
the
use
of
our
discretionary
grants
monies
because
we
were
able
to
issue
discretionary
grants
through
some
of
the
local
restrictions
monies
that
we
received,
that
not
all
districts
did
then
we
have
actually
distributed
more
money
than
that
17.
I
It's
just
that
because
the
local
restrictions
grant
money
had
to
be
spent
before
the
end
of
march
that
that
was
prioritized.
I
think
in
terms
of
your
points
on
the
driving
instructors.
As
an
example
is
a
point
that's
very
well
made,
I
think
there
is
the
point
about
self-employed
income,
support
being
the
principal
avenue
that
is
available
to
groups
such
as
that,
although
in
terms
of
the
discretionary
grants
rounds
that
we
are
about
to
open
that
will
be
eligible
for
driving
instructors
to
seek
support
alongside
other
sectors.
A
If
that's,
okay,
I
know
tom's
hands
raised
and
he
might
want
to
add
to
some
of
this,
but
I
I
you
know
part
of
the
challenge
with
this
is
that
the
fixed
costs
are
around
fixed
property
costs
and
many
others
will
have
fixed
costs
that
are
not
related
to
a
property.
The
driving
district
is
at
a
good
example.
A
It
is
that
their
car
is
their
office
essentially,
but
they
cannot
access
some
of
the
grant
through
the
same
process
because
of
the
the
restrictions
that
are
in
place,
and
I
appreciate
what
martin's
saying
about
there's
been
a
low
value
grant
for
in
the
scheme
of
the
whole
pot,
but
for
some
of
these
people,
500
pound
a
thousand
pounds,
it's
going
to
make
all
the
difference,
it's
the
difference
between
their
their
company
and
their
business,
going
bust
and
actually
surviving
and
then
thriving,
because
if
they
can
weather
this,
they
know
they
can
come
back.
I
Yeah
just
to
clarify
council
orbits,
and
so
our
discretionary
grant
schemes
aren't
just
about
property
costs
and
and
in
terms
of
the
grant
schemes
that
we
have
had
open,
but
also
a
grand
scheme
that
we're
going
to
reopen
that
will
be
eligible
for
companies
that
don't
have
those
fixed
property
costs.
I
mean
my
comment
in
terms
of
the
low
value
wasn't
to
diminish
the
importance
of
it
to
individual
companies.
I
J
Thank
you
leader.
I
just
wanted
to
add
to
what
martin
said
in
response
to
council
robertson,
who
was,
I
think,
right
to
flag
up
that
this
isn't
a
a
mainstream
role
for
the
council
or
councils
generally,
and
there
isn't
really
a
business
support
service
on
the
ground
anymore.
That's
that's
funded
by
by
the
government,
except
for
some
particular
schemes
through
the
laps
and
the
government
chose
councils
as
the
route
to
deploy
these.
So
we've
had
to
build
up
from
a
bit
of
a
standing
start
in
some
areas.
J
It
also
hasn't
always
helped
that
there
are
about
seven
or
eight
different
funding
schemes
so
that
the
team
has
to
navigate
through
them
as
well
and
but
generally,
I
think
we
we
compare
pretty
well,
I
would
say
in
terms
of
the
the
relative
performance-
we're
not
the
quickest,
but
we're
by
no
means
the
the
slowest-
and
we
also,
I
think,
of
in
terms
of
volume
of
probably
pushed
through
some
of
the
biggest
volumes
in
the
country.
J
The
the
the
point
about
sitting
in
the
middle
on
this
is
because
I
think,
in
a
year's
time
we
well
me
what
we
may
well
be
scrutinizing
and
assessing
how
much
fraud
has
taken
place,
which
is
something
we've
always
got
to
be
careful
of.
J
As
you
know,
dealing
with
taxpayers
money-
and
I
know
the
government
just
announced
100
million
pounds
for
hmrc
to
ident
to
investigate
fraud
through
the
you
know,
through
the
grant
systems
that
have
gone
out
more
generally,
and
we
have
had
you
know
extremely
few
examples
of
this
in
the
past,
and
I
don't
you
know
it's
something
that
that
we're
constantly
vigilant
about,
but
it
is
another
consideration
that
we've
got
to.
We've
got
to
look
at
and
that's
why
the
extra
work
happens.
J
That's
why
the
extra
you
know
checks
are
in
place
and
and
it's
to
safeguard
taxpayers
money
and
that
isn't
always
something
that's
the
easiest
to
get
across.
So
you
know,
I
think,
we're
trying
to
strike
a
balance
here
and
the
the
questions
are,
you
know
are
well
made
ones,
and
you
know
we
will
continue
to
to
try
and
strike
that
balance
in
the
right
way
in
a
team
that
you
know
is,
is
working
at
capacity
and
we're
trying
to
to
increase
that.
F
Thanks
chair,
it
was
questions
really.
The
first
one
is,
I
think,
since
our
last
report
there
has
been
the
announcement
that
the
nightingale
hospital
has
been
stepped
down
as
a
venue,
and
I
just
thought
it
was
worth
a
clarification
in
terms
of
whether
or
not
the
funding,
for
that
has
any
consequence
for
our
local
nhs
trusts.
F
The
need
for
potential
extra
morgue
facilities
as
well
and
well,
and
just
to
clarify
where,
where
the
the
cost
bracket
is
for
those
facilities,
as
as
they
become
less
needed,
as
time
goes
on
and
then
the
second
thing
was,
I
know
that
councillor
reef
has
encouraged
councillors
to
do
make
videos
and
encourage
as
many
people
as
possible
to
take
up
the
vaccinations
which
are
on
offer,
and
we
did
have
an
issue
that
some
sectors
of
of
our
population
were
more
resistant
to
presenting
than
others.
F
And
I
just
wondered
if,
with
the
resumption
of
school
activity
taking
place,
whether
or
not
that
testing
level
had
enabled
the
identification
of
certain
parts
of
the
city
that
that
could
then
be
encouraged
to
take
up
vaccination
and,
and
likewise
sorry,
that's
not
a
very
focused
question.
It's
basically
have
we
discovered
that
it's
it's
changed
over
time
and
especially
as
the
older
age
groups
are
going
through,
the
vaccination
process
are
younger
age
groups
more
in
tune
with
presenting
to
get
their
vaccine.
B
J
I
shall
I
just
try
and
make
a
start,
and
then
maybe
james
would
talk
about
the
the
marchery
question
in
terms
of
the
the
nightingale
one.
I
think
there
is
a
my
understanding
is
that
there's
a
that
this?
This
doesn't
affect
the
council,
but
in
terms
of
the
nhs
system
locally,
there's
a
there's,
an
active
discussion
going
on
between
the
centre
and
the
and
the
regions.
J
Who've
had
nightingales,
so
that
hasn't
been
resolved
yet,
and
it's
something
that
obviously
we
would
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
the
region.
Doesn't
the
the
local
area
and
the
region
doesn't
lose
out
in
any
way
of
having
taken
on
that
that
role
in
terms
of
the
the
the
the
point
about
vaccination
and
testing,
I'm
counsellor
might
want
to
come
in
on
that,
but
I
I
think
that's
something
that
is
definitely
you
know
we're
learning
all
the
time,
and
I
think
that
there
are
definite
links
between
people.
J
You
know
trying
to
persuade
people
to
to
to
get
a
test
and
trying
to
preserve
them
to
get
a
vaccine
and
we'll
we'll
be
integrating
that
work
very
carefully,
and
I
think
what
we're
learning,
as
we
know
in
the
city
is
the
more
local.
You
can
deliver
things
the
better,
because
communities
are
different.
You
can
get
those
trusted
voices
that
they
they
know,
and
you
know
and
trust
and
understand
to
to
make
the
case
as
well
as
us
at
that
city,
level
and
and
and
so
yeah.
J
I
think
that
there's
a
that
we're
making
progress
on
the
the
gap
between
certain
cohorts
in
terms
of
vaccination
and
that
will
continue
and
the
the
work
that's
been
done
in
haiti
has
definitely
has
helped,
has
helped
with
that.
J
I'll
try
again
leader,
I
I
I
think
the
I
think
the
situation
is
that
we
are
currently
reviewing
the
extra
marchery
provision
and
we're
in
dialogue
with
the
with
the
the
hospital
trust
about
that,
and
it's
likely
that
we'll
try
and
move
to
a
a
different
setting
over
the
next
few
weeks.
In
terms
of
the
resourcing
of
that,
I,
my
understanding
is
that
there
isn't
any
problem
around
that
and
that
that
has
been
covered
adequately
so
far,
and
we
would
expect
it
to
be
moving
forward.
L
Thank
you
leader.
I
don't
know
if
I've
understood
councillor
golton's
question
right
on
on
on
testing
councillor
golton,
I
think
maybe
what
I
I
heard
you
ask
was
around
in
the
return
to
school
testing
the
the
lateral
flow
testing
that
we've
been
doing
kind
of
on
mass,
with
the
with
the
high
school
kids
coming
back,
whether
that
gives
us
an
indication
about
where
our
rates
are
higher
across
the
city.
I
don't
know
if
that
was
what
you
were
asking
in
terms
of
where
we
put
our
energy.
I
mean
the
short
answer.
L
Is
it
it
doesn't
add
much
to
that
because
so
far
the
latest
numbers
we've
had
back
is:
we've
just
had
35
positive
tests
from
all
of
the
school
returns
so
far,
and
the
cohort
was
68
000
high
school
children,
the
majority
of
which
were
part
of
the
program,
so
the
numbers
are
really
low
for
the
school
return,
testing
and
they're
very
low
for
the
generally,
when
you,
when
you
test
people
without
symptoms,
you,
you
get
a
very
low
return
rate
as
we
know,
so
I
think
it
was
around.
L
It
was
0.05
positivity
on
on
lateral
flow.
So
far
from
school
return,
so
what
what
we've
got
with
our
ward
level
infection
rates
is
the
best
we
have
currently,
I
mean,
obviously
it's
just
dependent
on
people
still
presenting
for
testing,
but
that's
how
we,
you
know
still
best,
keep
an
eye
on
that.
I
don't
know
if
that
helps
just.
F
To
clarify,
I
was
also
wondering
whether,
as
the
age
groups
get
younger,
that
are
being
asked
to
present
for
vaccines,
whether
or
not
the
presentation
is
actually
going
up
in
some
of
those
bain
communities
where
perhaps
there
was
resistance
from
an
older
cohort
to
present
or
whether
it
was
actually
a
consistent
underrepresentation
at
vaccine.
Centers.
L
So
we
know
we
know
that
we're
seeing
we're
starting
to
see
a
closing
of
the
gap
between
some
of
the
groups
that
we've
been
proactively
targeting,
but
obviously
that's
showing,
through
still
in
the
in
the
higher
priority
groups,
who
are
mainly
older
or
have
clinical
vulnerabilities.
L
So
I
don't
we've
not
tested
that
out
yet
in
terms
of
that
younger
cohorts.
But
what
we
do
know
and
what
we're
concerned
about
and
and
obviously
want
to
be
proactive,
is
that
generally
younger
people
are
less
likely
to
take
up
the
vaccine
because
they
feel
they've
got
more
to
lose
and
less
to
gain.
So
it's
a
strategy
that
will
need
to
be
different
from
some
of
the
targeted
work.
We've
done
more
specifically
with
some
groups,
because
we'll
need
to
work
in
a
different
way,
more
generally
with
young
people.
L
But
yes,
we
are
that
that
trend
of
lower
take-up
is
something
that
we
we
know
will
have
to
work
harder
around
councillor,
golton
yeah,.
B
I
don't
see
anybody
saying
no,
so
I
will
take
those
recommendations
as
accepted,
so
I
will
go
back
to
the
agenda
and
agenda
item
14,
which
is
the
financial
health
monitoring
for
month,
10
of
financial
year
2020
2021
there's
a
lot
of
information
in
this
report.
B
I
think
the
real
positive
to
report
is
we
are,
are
predicted
to
have
a
balanced
budget
for
the
current
financial
year,
which
I
think
for
the
given
the
challenges
we
faced
in
the
year
in
terms
of
the
reaction
to
covid
and
and
and
the
other
challenges
of
of
on
the
council
is
a
really
positive
position
and
one
I
would
like
to
thank
all
the
finance
team
and
all
the
other
teams
involved
in
delivering.
B
A
Thank
you
to
the
officers
as
well.
Who've
done
sterling
work
this
year
and
in
around
the
budget
and
the
I
know
in
the
report
that
it
talks
about
council
tax
collections
and
the
business
rate
collections
in
there
given
what's
published.
E
Yes,
thank
you,
councillor,
lewis,
what
we've
been
doing
when
we
set
budget
that
went
to
council
in
february
and
also
when
we
agreed
the
tax
base?
We
did
some
forecasting
on
where
we
thought
that
collection
rates
would
be,
and
also
the
council
tax
basis
and
the
business
rate
basis,
and
that
was
included
within
those
reports
that
went
to
full
council
in
february.
E
We
have
projected
that
there
will
be
a
reduction
due
to
the
economic
impact
once
we've
come
out
of
covert.
Thank
you,
chair.
B
E
F
Now,
thanks
jeff,
it's
a
question
on
the
housing
revenue
account,
so
I'm
hoping
neil
evans
can
answer
it
before
it's
transferred
to
james
rogers.
I
don't
think
it's
happened
quite
yet.
F
Has
it
it's
to
do
with
the
underspend
of
9.6
million,
and
I
I'm
under
the
impression
that
it's
because
certain
works
couldn't
be
carried
out
this
year
due
to
the
pandemic,
and
I
was
just
wondering
whether
or
not
it
was
expected
that
that
work
would
be
added
to
next
year's
programme
of
works
or
whether
there
just
simply
isn't
the
capacity
to
deliver
both
and
that.
Therefore,
this
money,
that's
gone
into,
reserves
isn't
expected
to
be
used
up
in
the
forthcoming
financial
year.
C
Yes,
so
you're
right,
in
particular
the
the
period
between
april
and
july
last
year,
there
were
a
lot
of
capital
works
programs
which
which
couldn't
be
carried
through,
so
we
had
a
projected
program
of
around
about
80
and
we've
not
been
able
to
get
get
through.
All
of
all
of
that,
so
that
will
carry
forward
in
into
next
into
next
year.
C
Typically,
we've
tried
to
get
through
about
80
million,
but
if
we
can
do
a
bit
we,
if
we
can
accelerate
programs,
then
we
will
and
and
add
that
that
money
into
in
into
next
year,
we'll
probably
get
get
a
sense.
I
think
in
the
next
couple
of
months
about
how
successful
we'll
be
to
push
that
push
that
number
up.
B
Thank
you,
neil,
and
if
no
more
comments
on
the
report,
I
will
turn
to
the
recommendations
which
are
for
us
to
note
the
current
position
on
page
21
and
ask
the
board's
approval,
and
I
don't
see
anybody
saying
no
so
we'll
accept
those
as
approved
and
moved
on
to
item
15
on
the
agenda,
which
is
another
paper.
For
me.
Sorry,
it
feels
like
I'm
hogging
the
agenda
today,
which
is
the
establishment
of
the
lead
city
region.
B
Business
rates
pool
we've
previously
been
in
business
rate,
pools
agreements
over
over
previous
financial
years,
where
we
have
come
to
agreement
between
neighbouring
authorities
and
the
national
government
that
the
government
will
give
us
money
that
would
normally
be
returned
to
them
in
the
business
rates
pool
for
us
to
jointly
share
on
regionally
significant
projects.
B
So
this
report
asks
for
two
things.
First
of
all,
it
asks
for
us
for
the
financial
year
for
the
financial
year,
2122
to
agree
business
rates,
pool
for
west
yorkshire
and
secondly,
to
establish
a
joint
committee
of
the
authorities
involved
to
oversee
spending
and
governance
of
that
business
rate
pool.
A
Thanks
chair,
it
would
be
remiss
of
me,
as
you
know,
from
scrutiny
and
as
councillor
harlan
knows
from
scrutiny
to
to
not
ask
if,
when
information
is
published
and
is
assessed
from
the
business
rates
bill,
if
it
can't
be
shared
with
the
scrutiny
board,
as
they
have
taken
a
keen
interest
in
this
and
the
decisions
that
have
come
forward
and
how
decisions
are
made
through
the
business
rates
pool
and
I'm
sure
that
members
would
appreciate
it.
B
B
I
don't
see
any
comments,
so
I
will
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
358
and
ask
if
the
board's
approval-
and
I
don't
see
anybody
indicating
no,
so
we
will
accept
that
report
as
approved
and
turn
to
item
16,
which
is
the
south
bank
regeneration.
D
B
Just
by
way
of
introduction,
as
I
think
we
all
know-
that
south
bank
elite
is
one
of
the
largest
brownfield
sites
in
the
city
centre
in
the
uk,
so
it
was
a
significant
source
of
regeneration
and
and
using
brownfield
land
rather
than
trying
to
use
brownfield
land
to
its
best,
rather
than
greenfield
land,
which
is
obviously
positive
and
again
in
terms
of
developing
our
economies.
We
come
out
of
the
code
with
pandemic
and
making
sure
we've
still
got
those
opportunities
for
jobs
and
investment.
B
There
forms
a
significant
part
of
that,
and
particularly
the
report
refers
to
we'll
continue
to
work
on
bringing
forward
the
british
library
north,
which,
along
with
channels,
foreign
national
infrastructure
banker,
significant
significant
new
institutions
to
the
city
and
ones
that
will
support
our
growth
moving
forward
and
and
the
decisions
by
all
the
organizations
to
come
to
leeds.
I
think,
really
shows
the
success.
We've.
B
As
a
city,
this
report
asks
for
us
to
agree
a
number
of
actions
and
I
think
probably
easiest
way
to
introduce
them
is
to
run
through
them
as
they
are
set
out
in
the
recommendations.
B
So
it
is,
as
I've
just
done
to
note
the
ongoing
work
in
the
area
to
agree
the
potential
compulsory
purchase
order
in
order
to
secure
the
use
of
temple
works
to
bring
back
a
paper
around
temple
works
from
british
library
north
to
look
at
as
set
out
here
in
various
references
to
different
paragraphs
and
support
the
principle
of
us
using
our
powers
to
really
bring
forward
this
regeneration
of
this
site
to
make
sure
there's
no
stalling
that
we
brought
forward
and
finally,
for
the
director
of
city
development
to
come
back
to
us
again
with
recommendations
on
the
use
of
section
203
powers.
A
Chair
you'll
have
to
confirm
process
with
me
because
if
there
are
questions
on
the
pink
papers,
the
ones
that
are
below
the
line,
I
intend
to
wait
on
it
for
that
and
ask
them
as
a
late
to
date.
But
I
appreciate
I
don't
have
a
vote,
but
we
would
be
wisdom
in
our
position
on
this.
At
this
stage.
B
B
If
there's
no
further
comment,
we
will
move
on
to
the
discussion
when
we
come
to
the
when
the
public
meeting
ends
on
this
item,
and
that
brings
us
on
to
the
last
public
item,
which
is
councillor
hayden.
Please.
K
Thank
you
chair.
This
is
submission
of
39
proposed
main
modifications
to
the
leads
site
allocation
plans
for
reconsideration
by
the
secretary
of
state.
So
it's
another
snappy
title
there.
The
purpose
of
this
report
is
to
seek
executive
boards
of
recommendation
to
council
that
the
39
proposed
main
modifications
to
the
remitted
part
of
the
site
allocation
plan
be
submitted
to
the
secretary
of
state
for
independent
nomination.
K
K
Now
this
is
the
only
mixed
use
site
that
was
within,
which
is
at
barabella
in
manston
in
leeds
15,
and
it
was
originally
allocated
as
part
of
the
wider
transformation
around
thorpe
park
business
park
and
the
recent
investment
in
retail
and
leisure,
as
well
as
park
and
ride,
and
the
rail
halt.
Now
it's
now
proposed
that
this
site
not
come
forward
for
any
housing
but
continue
to
help
meet
the
employment
land
needs
of
the
council
within
this
strategic
part
of
the
city.
K
So
executive
board
are
asked
to
note
the
comments
of
the
council's
development
plan
panel
meeting
on
the
2nd
march
2020
and
consider
the
assessment
of
representations
received
in
response
to
the
consultation
on
the
proposed
main
modifications
and
spotted
documents.
B
I
don't
see
any
hands
going
up,
so
I
will
I'll
counsel
robinson.
A
Sorry,
chair
yeah,
just
seeking
clarity.
Thank
you.
Sorry,
just
seeking
clarity
from
council
hayden
and
from
martin
that,
from
in
light
of
what
she's
just
said,
develop
development
panel
talking
to
send
all
39
back
into
the
green
belt
is.
K
A
K
I
Well,
I've
been
martin
elliott's
on
on
the
line,
so
perhaps
our
skin
to
provide
a
clarification.
But
it's
it's.
It's
the
case
council
robinson
that
all
of
the
housing
allocated
sites
would
go
back
into
the
greenbelt
would
be
our
proposal
and
the
one
mixed
use
site.
We
would
look
to
reallocate
for
employment
uses.
D
Thank
you
leader,
yes,
just
just
for
those
members
that
may
be
confused
by
the
fact
that
there
are
39
modifications
and
there
are
37
sites.
D
B
A
K
K
As
I
understand
it,
38
and
39
are
extra
modifications
on
my
right
there,
martin
yeah,
so
there
was
37
sites.
36
are
going
straight
back
into
the
green
belt.
Number
37
is
being
changed
from
mixed
use
to
employment,
use
only
that
requires
that
modifications,
38
and
39.
In
order
to
do
that
to
number
37.
C
K
B
So
are
there
any
further?
Are
there
any
further
comments
on
this
item?
I
don't
see
any
comments
so
I'll
turn
to
the
recommendations
on
page
400
and
420
and
seek
approval
from
the
board.
I
don't
see
anybody
anything
other
than
approval,
so
we
will
accept
these
as
approved.
B
At
this
point,
I
will
thank
come
to
the
end
of
the
public
part
of
the
meeting.
As
we've
discussed,
we've
got
one
item
to
conclude
in
private
because
of
the
confidential
appendices
we
need
to
discuss,
but
at
this
point
the
end
of
the
public
meeting,
I
will
thank
everybody
for
watching
and
thank
everybody
for
their
attendance.
