Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
B
C
I'd,
also
like
to
welcome
the
journalism
students
from
Leeds
Beckett
University
who've
come
along
to
observe
today's
meeting.
Well
I'll
try
and
uh
not
mumble
too
much,
so
you
can
practice
your
short
and
effectively
and
finally
I
just
like
to
say
this
is
Neil
Levin's
last
executive
board
meeting
uh
um
um
as
a
director
um
of
the
council
before
uh
Neil
before
your
retirement
at
the
um
end
of
the
month.
C
A
C
D
um
Thank
you
chair
so
item
six
th
and
young
people's
plan,
and
this
is
a
really
important
document,
because
it's
the
overarching
document
for
all
of
the
work
within
Children
and
Families
there's
been
extensive
consultation
undertaking
to
get
to
this
point
which
is
outlined
in
the
document,
including
the
12
wishes,
which
of
children
which
form
part
of
the
document
and
which
80
000
children
contributed
to
this.
This
um
paper
or
iterations
of
the
children
of
people's
plan
has
been
discussed
at
scrutiny
several
times,
and
it's
also
been
to
the
children
and
young
people's
partnership.
D
It
includes
a
new
obsession
from
the
previous
iteration
of
the
children
on
people's
plan
to
this
one,
so
we've
combined
the
two
education-based
obsessions
together
and
put
in
a
new
third
Obsession
around
health
and
there's
also
a
couple
of
new
priorities,
one
of
which
is
about
the
climate
emergency
which,
as
we
know,
is
of
great
importance
to
Children
young
people
themselves.
So
it's
really
is
the
result
of
their
direct
input
that
we've
got
that
as
a
as
a
priority,
and
we've
also
got
an
explicit
reference
to
play.
D
D
So
this
plan
will
last
from
2020
to
2028.
It
will
go
to
full
Council
in
July
and
it's
been
very
much
written
in
the
context
of
a
very
challenging
world
for
children
in
relation
to
both
the
climate
emergency,
which
we've
referred
to
the
pandemic
and
the
cost
of
living
crisis.
So
hopefully
it
reflects
the
realities
of
children
and
young
people's
lives,
as
well
as
the
aspirations
that
they
have.
Thank
you
chair.
E
um
So
I
think
that
should
be
recognized.
The
one
thing
that
I
couldn't
see
in
here,
though,
knowing
what
one
of
the
pressures
is
in
children's
services,
which
is
you
want
to
do
so
much,
but
when
one
part
of
the
service
demands
more
from
budgets,
other
areas
tend
to
not
be
able
to
achieve
what
their
aspirations
might
be.
So
in
the
section
that
says
how
we'll
know,
if
we've
made
a
difference,
it
doesn't
mention
anything
to
do
with
budgets.
Is.
Is
there
anything
in
here
that
recognizes
those
pressures.
D
um
I'll
I'll
I'll,
maybe
let
Julie
pick
up.
The
second
point.
I
thought
there
was
something
I'm
looking
at
it
like
it's
very
tiny
on
my
screen,
I'm
looking
I'm
sure,
there's
something
about
Barry's
money
in
it
somewhere.
um
I
I
wanted
to
pick
up
your
point
about
I.
Do
take
your
point
that
um
you
know
about
how
many
obsessors
and
priorities
that
there
are
when
I'm
talking
to
other
councils
who
come
to
visit,
who
we
go
out
to
and
I'm
telling
them.
D
What's
in
our
plan,
sometimes
um
yeah,
I
I,
don't
know
there
is
a
lot
to
remember,
but
having
said
that,
it
does
all
fit
on
two
pages.
So,
um
although,
although
we've
got
a
lot
of
aspirations
in
it,
which
I
think
is
quite
right,
it
is
also
a
fairly
concise
document
compared
to
lots
of
documents
that
you
see
in
other
places
and
I
think
it
just
really
quite
succinctly
describe
where
we're
trying
to
get
to
um
Julie.
Is
there
anything
in
I
thought
there
was
something
about
budgets.
F
Yeah
I'm
happy
to
come
happy
to
come
back
on
that
um
I
think
what
I
would
say,
I
think
is
councilor
venezetta
um
in
her
opening
comments,
and
this
is
really
the
vision
for
everybody
across
the
council
across
the
partnership
who
is
working
with
children
and
families,
and
so
I
think
we're
all
signed
up
to
that.
I
think
it
does
set
out
the
outcomes
that
we
are
looking
to
achieve
and
also
how
we
want
to
measure
them.
F
I
think
what
we
know
is
that,
where
we
are
successful
in
achieving
positive
outcomes
for
children,
the
finance
follows-
and
the
budget
follows
so
again
thinking
about
reducing
the
need
safely
and
appropriately,
reducing
the
need
for
children
to
be
looked
after,
ensuring
that
children
can
remain
with
their
families,
ensuring
that
the
early
Health
strategy
is
effective
and
therefore
results
in
the
need
for
more
costly
statutory
intervention.
I
mean
really,
you
know
the
budget.
F
The
finance
situation
is
a
golden
thread
that
runs
throughout
the
whole
of
the
plan
and
the
whole
of
the
activity,
and
clearly,
we've
got
the
delivery
board
set
up
now,
which
is
cross
Council
cross-directorate.
A
number
of
work
streams
that
sit
within
that
and
that
delivery
board
will
be
responsible
for
looking,
first
and
foremost
at
the
outcomes
for
Children
and
Families
across
the
city.
But
absolutely
looking
at
the
financial
outcomes
that
we've
set
out
to
achieve.
G
G
Seen
in
the
really
diverse
you
know
different
bits
of
leads
that
you
do
when
you
go
to
when
you
go
around
the
city,
this
sort
of
resonates
and
and
there's
a
lot
that
the
teams
are
doing
already,
that
they
that
they
um
that
we're
delivering
um
and
on
the
I'm,
a
bit
of
a
stickler
for
the
ones
and
threes
and
fives
and
trying
to
keep
it
as
simple
as
possible
as
well
and
I.
Guess
the
other
way.
G
I
I
think
we
have
managed
to
achieve
something
here,
which
is
do
all
that,
but
also
have
the
voice
of
the
child
on
there,
which
is
the
wishes
and
I
think
that's
really
important
that
that's
sort
of
authentically
what
children
told
us
in
in
the
city
um
and
the
other
way
to
look
at
it.
I
guess
is
what
would
you
remove
when
you're
talking
about
the
14,
for
example,
when
I
was
looking
down
them?
I
was
just
because
you
challenged
my
thinking
a
bit.
What
would
I
remove
and
I?
G
Don't
think
I
could
think
of
anything
that
I
would
take
out.
So
I
think
we've
got
it
about
right,
but
it's
about
it
is
about
how
we're
delivering
it
on
the
ground
um
in
that
very
neighborhood
based
approach,
which
is
as
much
the
resources
question
as
the
the
money
as
well,
which
I
think
you
know
we
are
well
placed
as
far
as
as
has
been
seen
by
the
peer
review.
G
Final
thing,
I
would
say,
is
the
health
change
on
Obsession
I
think
is
quite
important,
because
the
NHS
and
the
way
it
works
tend
to
gear
itself
more
towards
um
the
older
population,
and
that's
where
the
that
more
of
the
money
is
spent
and
more
of
the
the
challenges
appear
in
the
the
way
the
system
runs.
But
actually
we
need
to
be
making
that
case
for
the
children
and
young
people
all
the
time
and
making
sure
they
have
that
sort
of
parity
within
that
system
as
well.
C
D
This
is
a
subject
full
of
Dyson.
This
is
the
video
for
white
back
to
move
from
3
to
11,
to
2
to
11
in
terms
of
the
age
of
their
intake,
so
this
came
here
before
it
went
out
to
the
statutory
consultation,
so
it
will
basically
create
24
places
for
two-year-olds
in
the
ward
of
the
highest
debt
promotion.
That
also
has
the
most
children,
and
this
is
very
much
a
direct
request
from
families
who've
been
asking
the
setting
if
they
will
take
two-year-olds
and
it
supports
our
aspiration
to
have
more
two-year-olds.
C
H
H
um
The
adventure
program
delivers
a
range
of
support
for
prospective
entrepreneurs
and
new
startups,
and
since
2016
this
has
worked
with
2000
businesses,
who've
all
received
support
uh
and
created
around
800
new
jobs.
The
digital
Enterprise
program
helps
smaller
medium-sized
businesses
to
invest
in
digital
technology
and
since
2016
this
is
assisted
with
3
000
businesses.
Who've
all
received
support
with
an
estimated
thousand
new
jobs
created
through
the
program
recipients.
E
Chair,
uh
obviously,
a
very
valuable
piece
of
work
that
the
council
is
involved
in
and
shows.
Expertise
in
um
I
was
just
wanting
to
understand
how
those
businesses
which
are
supported
are
identified
and
whether
we
actually
do
anything
proactively
to
ensure
that
every
part
of
the
city
has
applicants
or
people
who
benefit
from
the
guidance
and
advice
and
investment,
so
that
the
employment
benefit
is
felt
everywhere.
I
um
To
answer
the
question:
counselor
Golson:
yes,
we
have
a
proactive
marketing
and
promotion
strategy
um
that
promotes
the
program's
um
currently
across
the
whole
of
the
Lee
City
region,
as
well
as
across
across
the
Leeds
District
um
going
forward.
We
will
be
focusing
on
our
smaller
geography
around
West
Yorkshire
um
and
with
improvements
to
our
our
technology
in
terms
of
our
client
client
client
management
system.
We
we
actually
are
more
confident
we
can
actually
target
areas
more
effectively
than
what
we've
done
either
too
so
I
think
going
forward.
B
I
I
apologize
if
this
was
covered
in
the
briefing
with
Council
Carter,
but
because
I've
just
picked
it
up
today.
What
measurements
are
you
putting
in
place
both
to
come
back
to
the
exec
board
members
and
wika
on
the
effectiveness
of
this,
and
who
is
it
that's
actually
going
to
monitor
the
success
or
otherwise
what
what
elected
member
involvement,
either
at
weiker
level
or
Council
level?
uh
Looking
at
this
Phil.
C
I
uh
Council
Anderson
to
answer
the
question
it
tends
to
be
at
the
YCA
level,
um
so
elected
members,
troop
through
the
through
the
uh
for
the
white
committees
would
actually
provide
scrutiny
um
on
the
programs
going
forward.
We
do
have.
We
do
have
an
evaluation
built
into
the
program,
so
we
do
have
a
budget
for
evaluation.
We
would
put
a
point,
um
a
third
party
to
actually
evaluate
the
programs
on
behalf
of
Wika.
C
J
J
J
um
The
detail
um
in
the
report
goes
into
where
those
other
spends
are.
We
are
expecting
to
um
come
in
on
balance
at
the
end
of
the
year,
we're
with
some
more
directorate
servings
and
action
plans
that
are
already
in
place
and
with
all
of
the
um
the
non-essential
spend
raise
on
non-essential,
spend
and
the
other
actions
that
we've
been
um
taking
over
the
year
um
so
I'll
leave
it
there
for
questions
thanks
chair.
B
Let's
really
could
take
one
interesting
you
might
actually,
when
you
carry
out
it,
you
might
actually
find
out
that
they
need
more
money
than
they've
actually
been
given
in
the
budget.
Equally,
you
might
be
able
to
identify
some
savings,
and
the
second
point
is
the
task
and
finish:
groups
don't
appear
from
what
I
can
see
in
here
to
have
much
success
so
far.
C
K
Thank
you
chair.
um
There
is
an
awful
lot
of
work
done
with
um
the
service
and
other
other
um
people
from
across
the
council
around
um
the
the
financial
position
within
Children's
Services.
We've
done
a
lot
of
work
around
the
budget
going
forward
looking
at
um
the
demand.
So
even
though
it's
not
called
a
zero-based
budgeting
process,
we
do
look
at
what
the
numbers
are
that
are
coming
through.
What
is
the
demand
increase
as
what
inflationary
increases
are?
F
Thank
you.
um
So,
as
Victoria
said,
we
do
now
have
the
delivery
board
established
um
I.
Think
it's
really
important
to
say
that
it
is
a
cross-directorate
board,
so
we
do
have
representation
from
HR
from
Asset
Management
from
Finance
from
IDs
um
from
performance
and
intelligence
from
Facilities
Management
from
Communications,
and
we
also
have
external
Partners
in
the
form
of
health
and
police
colleagues,
and
at
the
moment,
there's
nine
work,
streams
and
I
would
say
that
there's
absolute
granular
detail
in
relation
to
those
work
streams.
F
Those
work
streams
are
all
linked
to
the
savings
proposals
that
we
have
put
forward
for
23
24
and,
as
Victoria
has
said,
we
have
had
success
in
the
task
and
finish
Group,
which
has
been
meeting
twice
a
week
again
across
directory
support.
You
know
um
their
presence
of
over
700
000
pound,
which
has
been
achieved
through
that
board
and
really
work
to
the
task
and
finish
group
we're
building
on
that
cross-director
at
work
and
I.
J
Yeah
and
I
think
just
to
um
add
to
our
both
Victorian
and
Julia
said,
I'm,
really
pleased
with
the
work
of
the
task
and
finish
group
um
in
terms
of
looking
um
at
all
the
um
areas
where
there
was
potential
of
spend
not
only
for
this
year
but
for
next
year
um
as
well.
So
um
and,
and
one
of
the
um
issues
that
we
do
have
is
the
um
obviously
the
increase
in
numbers
and,
of
course,
um
as
a
a
as
a
compassionate
Council.
B
Which
is
the
budget
in
environments
and
neighborhoods?
They
they
seem
to
be
the
subject
of
a
price
variation
on
green
recyclers
just
now
which
the
markets
will
always
go
up
and
down.
But
what
effect
at
what
stage
would
the
price
reduction
affect
the
budget
that's
been
set
for
next
year?
I
accept
that
you
did
adjust
your
budget
and
anticipated
a
reduction
in
pricing.
So
I'm
not
saying
that
you
didn't
foresee
that,
but
at
what
point
does
it
become
a
real
problem?
If
the
price
continues
it's
downward
spiral.
L
Yeah,
thank
you,
chair
um
yeah.
These
budgets
are
particularly
volatile
and
I
was
I,
think
reporting
the
last
time
we
met
that
we'd
seen
an
increase
in
in
the
value
of
the
income
that
we're
receiving,
which
was
being
really
positive,
but
more
recently,
we've
seen
that
decline
again
because
of
that
volatility.
E
um
And
you
would
think
that
in
Good
Times
you
can
perhaps
ring
fence
greater
income
than
was
expected
from
things
like
recyclers
and
also
what
is
reported
in
this
um
uh
report.
A
payback
from
the
PFI
contract,
which
is
quite
significant
in
the
nillians
as
well,
and
we
should
really
be
perhaps
creating
a
ring
fenced
at
reserve
for
the
replacement
of
these
vehicles,
um
in
the
expectation
that
um
the
long-term
replacement
will
be
dependent
upon
the
market
being
able
to
deliver,
especially
if
we're
looking
at
electric
vehicles
which
are
in
demand
across
the
country.
E
um
The
second
thing
is
in
children's
services,
um
and
it
relates
to
what
Tom
was
talking
about
in
terms
of
how
it's
really
important
in
the
children's
plan.
The
health
aspect
is
being
um
recognized
and
taken
forward
because
we're
talking
here
about
the
ICB
contribution
from
uh
Health,
which
we'd
asked
for
for
several
years.
It
was
1.9
million
that
we
were
hoping
that
they
would
invest
in
and
we
never
quite
got
agreement
for
that.
E
E
um
So
I'm
I
was
just
a
little
bit
confused
at
the
wording
that
was
used
in
this
financial
report
around
the
ICB
Health
contribution
in
in
terms
of
it
said
that
we
were
still
hoping
to
negotiate
something
else
coming
forward.
When
is
it
just
a
little
bit
behind
in
terms
of
the
current
situation,
or
are
you
seeking
even
more
money
from
health.
C
D
The
three
million
that
Council
Lewis
referred
to
in
his
budget
speech,
is
from
next
financial
year
and
it's
recurring
and
it
was
agreed
through
Peg,
the
partnership
executive
group.
That
I
think
you
chair,
don't
you
Tom
yeah,
um
which
is
really
positive.
A
million
of
it
is
additionality
and
that's
to
provide
a
trauma
informed
service
across
the
system.
D
But
it
was
recognized
by
the
health
system
that
the
state
of
the
council
finances
did
represent
a
risk
to
the
whole
system
and
that's
why
they've
agreed
to
give
us
that
additional
funding
so
that
we
don't
have
to
make
cuts
to
really
vital
early
health
services,
and
that
refers
to
both
our
own
services
and
some
of
our
contracted
services.
So
it
is
really
positive
in
terms
of
getting
in
that
additional
three.
C
F
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
add
to
uh
councilor
Bennett's
comments
there
that
I
think
it
is
a
really
really
positive
development.
I
think
it
reflects
the
commitment
by
the
whole
system
to
early
intervention
and
prevention
and
recognizing
that
in
leads,
we
have
that
whole
system
response
I
think
it
also
comes
back
to
um
some
of
the
comments
that
have
been
made
earlier
about
the
need
to
work
differently.
C
E
That's
the
clarity
I
was
after
really
was
that
this
paragraph
is
talking
about
this
financial
year.
Isn't
it
um
and
it
says
that
they're,
assuming
that
the
contribution
1.9
million
won't
be
made,
but
then
the
next
sentence
says
children
and
families
are
working
with
the
ICB
to
consider
alternative
funding
or
budget
savings
for
this
year
yeah.
M
C
What
I
suggest
we
do
on
this
point
is
what
I
guess
you
do
on
this
point
is
sounds
available.
Answering
your
questions.
Council
got
I'm
going
to
suggest
uh
they
either
did
provide
you
a
written
briefing
or
meet
up
with
you
for
an
in-person
briefing
um
around
this.
So
we
can
um
deal
in
detail
um
with
your
questions
beyond
what
we've
done,
yeah
Tom.
Would
you
like
to
come
in?
Please
try
and
help
out.
G
G
There
are
actually
big
challenges,
as
we
know
in
the
NHS
side
um
of
the
house,
which
come
through
the
ICB
and
into
the
system
as
well,
so
um
The
Clarity
that
the
helpful
Clarity
that
you've
gone
from
the
question
I
think
is
about
the
difference
between
the
two
years.
But
we
are
almost
in
constant
dialogue
about
um
the
how
we
can
get
the
resources
to
fit
the
demand
in
the
system
um
throughout
the
year.
C
M
On
the
issue
of
um
a
fleet,
so
um
we
took
decision
a
couple
years
back
to
to
take
a
a
halt
on
the
vehicle
replacement
program
which
saved
around
about
9
million
pounds
by
kind
of
extending
life.
Now
clearly,
when
you
do
extend
life,
then
things
do
become
less
reliable
and
you
we're
seeing
that
being
played
out
a
bit
in
some
of
these
costs.
Although
I
haven't
haven't
said
that
that
figure
is
considerably
higher
because
of
the
level
of
inflation
on
higher
than
we
could
have
expected.
C
N
Thank
you,
chair,
um
I'm
delighted
to
um
present
the
um
climate
emergency
annual
report
and
I
want
to
start
by
saying
a
big
thank
you
to
Polly
cook
and
her
team
for
not
only
the
report,
which
is
an
excellent
report,
but
for
all
the
work
that
this
report
um
um
explains
and
informs
us
on.
So
this
report
provides
an
update
on
the
work
done
throughout
the
year
um
in
the
council
with
regard
to
The
Climate
emergency
highlighting
progress
mode
this
year.
Alongside
those
challenges
and
issues
that
we
continue
to
face.
N
The
report
notes
Lee
city
council
was
recognized
as
one
of
122
City
authorities
across
the
world,
leading
on
leading
the
way
on
camera
action
as
part
of
a
list
published
by
renowned
International
Authority.
The
carbon
disclosure
project
so
Leeds
joins
the
cities
like
New
York,
Paris,
Melbourne,
Tokyo,
Buenos,
Aires
and
Cape
Town
on
the
organization's
2022
A-list
of
more
than
a
thousand
Global
cities
that
received
a
rating
this
year.
N
So,
as
an
annual
report,
the
report
offers
updates
on
a
number
of
work
streams,
um
including
um
the
national
Regional
context.
Council
emissions
energy
strategy
scope,
three
emissions,
which
are
those
that
we
have
less
control
over,
such
as
Supply
chains,
Etc
that
we've
begun.
Some
really
um
really
good
work
on
this,
and
this
last
year,
transport,
the
white
rose
forest,
green
jobs
and
skills
and
climate
resilience
and
adaptation,
and
um
as
well
as
the
local
Plan
update,
which
was
consulted
on
um
last
year
as
well.
B
Namely,
uh
it
looks
as
though,
at
least
one
planning
inspector
disagrees
with
the
potential
changes
we're
going
to
make
to
our
plan.
Another
planning
inspector
does
agree
with
us,
but
another
one
doesn't
and,
as
any
of
us
know,
it
depends
which
one
you
get,
which
could
have
a
negative
effect
on
our
ability
to
bring
forward
some
of
our
changes.
So
what
I'm?
Getting
at
is
that
and
there's
also
been
challenges
recently
on
the
rubber
crumb
uh
issues.
B
There's
also
been
a
misunderstanding
um
as
well,
by
on
one
planning
application
that
came
to
see
act
where
the
proposals
that
are
in
the
site
allocations
plan
are
initial
and
then,
by
the
time
you
get
down
to
the
development
control,
things
will
have
changed
for
the
second
one,
probably
what
it
was
about.
It
was
about
a
corner
shop
suddenly
being
taken
away
uh
from
uh
an
original
application.
So
one
of
the
question
I'm
asking
is:
do
we
need
to
start
looking
more
and
closely
at
the
potential
impact
of
the
2030
Target?
N
uh
Really
welcome
um
the
chance
to
talk
about
um
long-term
funding
and
changes
to
our
planning
system
and
but
before
I.
Do
that
I
want
to
thank
councilor
Anderson
and
his
um
scrutiny
board
for
the
great
work
that
um
they
do
in
terms
of
scrutinizing,
not
only
the
annual
report,
but
for
all
the
work
that
um
goes
into
tackling
the
climate
emergency.
N
um
Yes,
there
are
certain
things
without
we're
still
waiting
for
planning
reform
from
this
government
um
and
we're
still
waiting
to
see
what
planning
reforms
they
will
bring
in
um
and
they
may
well
hold
us
back.
There
is
a
discrepancy
from
what
we
want
to
do
in
Leeds
to
what
the
plan
and
inspector
at
sometimes
will
trip
us
trip
us
up
on
and
I'll
stop
us
doing,
um
and
there's
also
the
problem
that
the
the
planning
rules
and
planning
laws
and
legislation
um
preventers
from
um
saying
no
to
certain
applications
for
certain
non-material
reasons.
N
N
N
C
E
However,
I'm
going
to
reserve
my
position
on
this
paper
um
and
it's
not
due
to
the
work
that
Polly
cook
does
it's
because
of
my
concern
that
all
departments
are
working
at
the
same
speed
on
the
same
agenda
to
the
degree
that
they
should.
And
my
particular
concern
is
that
in
this
report,
there's
a
referral
to
how
transport
contributes
about
a
third
of
the
city's
emissions
and
therefore
our
Investments
and
our
performance
in
the
transport
area
is
going
to
be
key
to
achieving
our
Ambitions
and
I.
E
Don't
think
that
what
is
reported
here
in
terms
of
performance
is
accurate
and
to
the
point
that
I
don't
really
have
any
confidence
in
the
statistics
which
are
being
delivered
um
and
I
think
we
are
potentially
being
let
down
if
we
don't
have
consistency
of
um
delivery
or
all
the
departments
in
the
city
to
achieve
Net,
Zero
um
I
won't
go
into
detail,
but
um
I
I
will
happily
do
so.
If
anybody
wishes
to
get
that
detail
um
on
the
transport
issue.
E
One
of
the
bullet
points
on
page
121
says
that
transport
contributes
about
a
third
of
the
city's
emissions
and
I
just
wondered:
does
that
include
leads
Bradford,
Airport
or
not?
So
if
that
could
be
clarified,
that
would
be
useful,
because
I
do
appreciate
that
that
is
a
sub-regional
facility
and
I
wasn't
sure
if
we
divided
up
its
submissions
as
a
as
five
constituent
local
authorities
within
West,
Yorkshire
um
and
I'll
leave
it
at
you.
O
C
C
um
Does
anybody
else
want
to
come
in
on
this
paper?
No
I'm
going
to
turn
to
the
recommendations.
On
page
one,
two
three
in
Council
galtner
stated
his
position.
I'd
take
everybody
else
is
happy
with
uh
the
paper.
So
with
that
I
will
accept
the
recommendations
and
move
on
to
item
11.
Please
uh
councilor
Harland.
P
Thank
you
chair,
uh
so
this
is
the
latest
update
since
October
last
year
on
the
cost
of
living
um
and
what
leads
are
doing
um
to
help
our
residents
in
that
uh
it
updates
on
the
work
being
carried
out
across
Council
and
those
of
our
partners
and
less
support.
That's
available,
um
we've
seen
that
most
agencies
are
seeing
a
rising
people
seeking
advice
and
support,
um
but
we
continue
to
to
work
uh
together
to
alleviate
some
of
the
symptoms
of
that.
P
um
The
report
also
updates
on
what's
happened,
what's
been
happening
nationally,
including
the
details
of
the
cost
of
living
support
2023,
which
was
announced
in
the
Autumn
statement.
Another
key
announcements
from
that.
Obviously
we'll
wait
to
see
if
we
uh
hear
anything
in
the
coming
budget
of
any
further
measures,
uh
and
we
do
welcome
that.
The
extension
to
the
energy
price
guarantee
has
been
um
it's
welcomed
and
it
should
take
us
up
to
some
warmer
weather
so
we'll
welcome
that
um
the
appendices
going
to
more
specific
detail
and
there's
lots
of
um
info
in
there.
P
um
The
lead
strategic
cost
of
living
plan
is
also
in
there
and
also
the
state
of
the
city
report,
which
is
included,
which
lists
the
actions
and
opportunities
for
the
all
our
stakeholders
across
the
city
and
also
just
like
to
update
you.
That's
not
in
the
report
that
the
financial
inclusion
team
have
held
briefings
over
the
last
week,
Sir
with
members
and
uh
group
support
staff
also,
which
will
help
with
any
casework
that
we
get
via
um
Our
advice
sessions
are
through.
The
group.
P
I
think
it's
a
really
comprehensive
and
positive
report
in
the
main
and
we'll
continue
to
bring
updates
to
this
board.
As
we
look
at
how
we
will
admittance
to
the
next
challenge
of
the
households
part
fund,
which
I
believe
the
team
are
working
on
at
present,
it's
really
helpful
that
we've
got
this
for
12
months
this
time
and
not
six,
which
helps
us
and
AIDS
us
in
our
ability
to
give
a
little
bit
more
planning
and
also
for
our
third
sector
Partners,
which
gives
them
a
little
bit
more
planning.
Also.
P
So
finally,
I'd
like
to
thank
Lee
and
his
officers
as
usual,
but
I'd
also
like
to
to
say
thank
you
to
those
um
lead
city,
council
staff
working
on
the
front
line
that
are
dealing
with
residents,
often
in
uh
very
vulnerable
and
upsetting
circumstances.
Sometimes
our
staff,
too,
are
dealing
with
the
same
pressures
um
so
I'd
like
to
thank
them
and
also
our
third
sector
partners
that
are
also
working
on.
P
B
Briefly,
uh
the
training
certainly
I
attended
to
train
the
other
day,
and
it
was
excellent
and
the
other
thing
I
was
going
to
say
is,
and
it
was
made
by
the
officers
at
that.
This
has
been
a
lot
of
this
work.
Okay,
we
do
have
our
differences
of
opinion,
but
this
has
been.
This
is
a
cross-party
support,
since
I
first
got
involved
in
it
in
the
year
in
the
early
2000s,
when
we
were
in
uh
control
at
that
time
as
well,
and
it
shown
the
benefit
of
it.
B
Okay,
we
do
have
differences
of
opinion,
but
that's
the
whole
point
of
politics
at
times
to
have
different
emphasis
to
get
to
the
same
goal
at
the
end
of
the
day.
So
it's
just
to
thank
that.
The
the
one
thing
that
hired
came
out
of
the
session
I
was
at
the
other
day
is
there
are
questions
across
all
parties
as
to
whether
or
not
the
funding
that
we've
got
is
being
targeted
correctly
now
I've
got
no
evidence
to
say
it
is,
or
it
isn't
uh
I'm
just
reflecting
back
what
was
said
at
these.
P
Councilor
Anderson,
uh
the
scrutiny
part,
has
played
um
an
immense
part
in
that.
But
I
do
think
that
after
Monday's
session,
uh
Nick
and
Joe
were
very
pleased
at
the
input
from
members
uh
and
took
away
a
lot
of
of
work
to
look
at
and,
of
course,
um
this
board
and
of
course,
currently
Bard
will
be
involved
going
forward.
E
um
I
also
wanted
to
highlight
the
um
was
it
the
cost
of
living
conference
that
we
had
Dame,
Julia
and
win
at.
Is
that
what
it
was
called
state
of
the
city?
There
we
go.
um
It
was
a
really
really
good
event
and,
and
it
and
in
terms
of
all
those
different,
diverse
areas
in
the
city,
we
were
able
to
actually
uh
intermingle
and
exchange
experiences
and
and
and
and
actually
get
ideas
which
we
can
take
forward
into
our
own
areas,
and
that
was
one
of
the
strengths
I.
