A
You've
got:
have
you
got
me
now?
Yes,
it
was
the
technology
was
escaping
from
me.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
lord
mayor.
Like
previous
speakers,
I
want
to
congratulate
everybody
and
thank
everybody.
Who's
put
on
all
this
heroic
work
over
the
last
few
months,
an
unprecedented
period
of
time
I
mean,
I
don't
think.
We've
had
a
time
like
this
for
at
least
100
years,
where,
let's
put
it
this
way,
go
back
to
january
february.
None
of
us
have
believed
what
happened
in
the
last
three
months.
A
I
don't
think
anybody
would
have
done,
and
I
think
that
the
heroic
work
that's
been
done
by
our
care
workers
and
other
people
to
carry
on
working
through
it.
So
we
could
all
live.
Reasonably
is
wonderful
and
I
must
say
as
well
having
heard
some
some
of
the
stories
from
from
other
authorities,
I've
got
to
say
that
I
think
I
don't
say
this
very
often.
I
think
we
have.
A
We
have
function
very,
very
well
and
to
a
great
extent,
not
always,
but
most
of
the
time
the
communications
between
between
ourselves
has
been
good
in
doing
that,
but
clearly
we
need
now
what
these
days
to
get
back
to
some
sort
of
accountability,
proper
accountability.
A
I
read
the
other
day,
dr
michael
mike
ryan,
who's,
the
who's
emergency
chap
and,
and
he
was
saying
we
need
to
learn
to
live
with
the
virus
and
warn
that
the
expected
expectation
that
we
would
eradicate,
eradicate
it
or
get
an
effective
vaccine
could
be
really
within
one's
was
unrealistic,
and
I
think
that's
the
point
we
ain't
to
to
caught
somebody
more
eminent
than
myself.
We
are
not
at
the
beginning
of
the
end.
A
We
are
at
the
end
of
the
beginning,
and
we've
got
to
learn
to
to
work
with
this,
and
we've
got
to
learn
a
way
forward.
As
I
said,
my
heart
goes
out
to
everybody
who
oh
oh,
helped
us
johnny
john
in
this
period
of
time.
I
think
they've
done
a
wonderful
job.
I
think
we
need
to
continue
to
do
that.
A
Job
and
we've
got
to
find
new
ways
of
working
so
that
we
can
overcome
this,
because
the
fact
is,
it's
there,
it's
with
us
until
we
find
the
cure
and
we're
no
guarantee
of
doing
that
in
the
short
term.
With
that
I'll
support
the
motion.
Thank
you.
Vlad
man.
C
Is
this
the
response
to
the
coronavirus
report?
That's
right!
Okay!
Let
me
let
me
run
through
what
I've
got
lord
mayor
as
best
I
can
at
this
particular
point,
it's
all
a
bit
a
dock
at
this
particular
point,
but
we're
certainly
from
the
malibu
independent
point
of
view.
C
We'd
like
to
thank
everybody
who
has
contributed
so
much
during
this
particular
crisis
that
we
found
ourselves
continuing
to
go
through
on
particular
mention
needs
to
go
to
adults
and
children,
social
services,
care
workers,
who've
been
absolutely
fabulous,
been
workers,
street
cleansing,
packs
and
countryside
highways
volunteers,
and
especially
the
community
hubs
on
all
other
key
workers
as
well.
Certainly
from
the
malibu
independence
point
of
view,
we
do
send
our
grateful
thanks.
C
Particular
thanks
goes
out
to
the
community
hubs
a
lot
of
questions
that
need
to
be
asked
not
only
on
an
international
basis,
the
accountability
of
the
chinese
communist
party,
maybe
one
of
those,
the
world
health
organization
and
their
failings,
and
the
fact
that
they
perhaps
haven't
offered
the
leadership
that
we
would
want.
There
are
national
questions
to
be
asked,
including
what
happened
with
the
decision-making
that
led
to
older
residents
being
discharged
to
care
homes
without
the
appropriate
testing
and
all
the
problems
and
difficulties
that
had
ppe
provision.
C
What
failed
there,
including
those
ppe
managers
within
the
nhs
who
surely
should
be
held
accountable
for
their
particular
failings
and
some
of
the
ppe
failings
in
some
of
the
care
homes.
I
think
that's
something
that
we
need
to
go
back
and
revisit
when
we
have
an
appropriate
opportunity
to
look
into
how
we
can
cope
with
a
similar
crisis
in
the
future,
and
we
also
need
to
ask
some
of
the
local
questions.
The
community
helps
have
done
an
excellent
job.
C
They've
been
the
ones
who
have
been
out
there
supporting
the
most
vulnerable
week
in
week
out
and
the
city
council's
financial
support
for
the
community
hubs
hasn't
been
as
good
as
it
might
have
been.
Certainly,
we
have
added
additional
financial
support
from
mollytown
council,
because
we
do
appreciate
the
excellent
work
that
they're
doing,
and
we
also
appreciate
the
volunteers
who
are
doing
the
nitty-gritty
day
in
day
out.
We
think
that
they
that
needs
to
be
revisited.
We
need
to
perhaps
ask
ourselves
questions
about
why
they
are
getting
more
financial
support
from
mollybill
independence.
C
A
Good
afternoon,
lord
mayor,
can
you
hear
me
I
can?
Oh
god,
I'm
only
making
that
point,
because
I've
not
got
zoom
on
the
ipad,
so
I'm
actually
talking
to
everybody
from
an
iphone.
So
please
bear
with
me.
I
hope,
that's.
Okay,
first
of
all,
what's
massively
important
is
to
pay
congratulations
to
the
many
many
key
workers
hearing
leeds
who've
really
stepped
up
to
the
mark
and
beyond
in
the
last
weeks
and
months,
and
I
will
say
as
a
hub
manager
myself,
I
it's
probably
one
of
the
proudest
things.
A
It's
been
a
remarkable
exercise
and
I
don't
normally
do
this
outside
the
budget
meeting,
but
I
am
going
to
pay
personal
thanks
to
certain
officers
working
in
communities
shade,
mahmood
who's
led,
exemplary,
well,
martin
dean,
andy
burkbeck
who's
been
a
constant
source
of
information
and
good
counsel
when
it's
been
needed
in
that
sector.
So
thank
you
to
everybody.
Who's
been
involved
working
on
the
ground
in
communities,
it's
been
a
remarkable
effort
and
one
which
the
council
should
be
rightly
proud.
A
A
I
think
that
colleagues
have
already
alluded
to
parks
and
countryside,
and
I
really
do
think
that,
as
businesses
have
managed
to
track
the
mood
music
within
government
and
be
ready
when
announcements
are
there
to
reopen,
I
do
think
certain
departments
have
been
a
little
slow
off
the
mark.
In
that
regard.
Other
lessons
learned
virtual
meetings,
don't
work
the
quicker
and
faster.
We
can
facilitate
face-to-face
meetings
in
a
revised,
safe
format,
the
better,
because
this
is
unsustainable-
and
I
don't
think
it's
put
leads
in
a
very
good
light
this
afternoon
finances.
A
Of
course
the
council
now
faces
a
most
precarious
situation,
and
initially
I
will
say
that
communications
between
the
leaders
was
good.
There
were
clear,
concise
messages
that
we
were
all
happy
to
support
and
push
out,
but
in
the
last
few
weeks
I
think
that
message
system
has
diluted
somewhat
and
I've
had
to
rely
on
picking
the
brains
of
officers
to
find
out
what's
actually
going
on
regarding
the
council's
finances
in
our
own
city-
and
I
will
say
this:
there's
lots
of
talent
within
the
opposition
groups
who
are
willing
and
able
to
work
with
the
administration.
A
Should
the
call
come.
Let's
hope
we
don't
get
a
second
spike,
but
let's
prepare
what
what's
the
old
adage
hope
for
the
best
prefer
for
the
worst
be
resilient,
keep
doing
what
leeds
actually
does
best,
which
is
pulling
together
when
we
have
a
crisis
and
in
the
early
days
of
covid
I
saw
that
remarkably
across
the
city.
So,
even
though
I've
got
a
few
concerns,
I've
wanted
to
raise
this
afternoon
and
a
few
issues
to
flag
up.
A
D
Nash
yeah
good
afternoon
lord
mayor,
I
speak
as
a
sport
executive
member
for
art
and
culture,
which
includes
the
museum
service,
and,
firstly,
I
should
like
to
congratulate
all
of
the
museum
staff
for
all
their
hard
work
during
the
lockdown.
The
museum
service
has
lost
nearly
300
000
pounds,
not
only
in
admission
fees
but
also
sales
from
its
shops
and
and
its
cafes,
which
our
labour
administration
brought
back
into
house.
D
In
view
of
its
recent
record
of
renegade
on
its
promise
to
local
authorities
to
reimburse
whatever
they
had
to
spend
on
the
covet
at
pandemic,
I
would
not
hold
your
breath.
The
government
announced
that
museums
could
reopen
on
the
4th
of
july,
but
we
cannot
wave
a
wand
and
have
all
social
distancing
measures
in
place.
D
D
Lotherton
and
kirkster
lobby
will
open
on
the
17th
of
july
lee's,
art
gallery
21st
of
july
lee's,
industrial
museum,
23rd
of
july
temple,
news
and
1st
of
august
abbey
house
museum,
4th
of
august
leeds
city,
museum
and
thwaite
watermill
11th
of
august,
but
during
the
lockdown
close
period
our
museum
staff
have
not
been
taking
a
rest,
but
working
very
hard.
Indeed,
I
just
I
do
not
have
time
to
read.
E
Yes,
hi
lord
man
good
afternoon,
everybody
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
chance
to
speak,
and
forgive
me
lord
may.
I
cannot
pay
the
usual
customary
respect
of
standing
up
and
speaking,
and
I
I
think
that
goes
for
all
of
us.
I
think
it
has
been
clear
to
see
throughout
the
city
and
the
country
that
contest
the
fantastic
work
communities
have
done
in
order
to
support
people
throughout
kobe
19..
E
E
Staying
in
the
house
for
weeks
and
months,
no
on
no
end
with
no
company
is
hard,
especially
for
those
living
in
their
own
on
their
own.
Where
is
that
to
be
found
to
keep
not
only
people
physically
safe
and
safe
and
healthy,
but
well
they're,
well-being
too?
The
community
have
been
fantastic
in
responding
to
the
needs
of
our
residents.
They
have
been.
There
have
been
many
examples
of
this
throughout
the
city.
E
I
want
to
thank
all
our
faith
organizations
in
the
city,
although
they
they
were
closed
for
all
the
build.
They
closed
their
buildings
for
worship
worshipping.
Instead,
they
saw
hel
started
helping
older
people
vulnerable
people
in
the
city.
It's
not
just
being
the
physical
items,
either
well-being
and
exercise
classes
are
moved
online
activities
to
keep
people.
Families
entertained
were
shared
through
zoom
and
facebook
to
create
an
element
of
fun,
positivity
and
hope.
E
The
people
of
leeds
are
worth
timeless
achievement
tirelessly
to
ensure
that
the
safety
of
vulnerable
individuals
remained
the
number
one
priority.
While
we
continue
to
battle
this
horrendous
disease,
how
many
people
wanted
to
sign
up
to
be
a
volunteer
selflessly
putting
themselves
forward
to
support
other
people
in
the
time
of
need?
As
an
example,
just
week
of
may
showed
that,
through
the
community
care
volunteers
program
over
1500
volunteers
were
deployed
in
just
one
week
an
incredible
response:
okay,
I'll
wind
up,
then
I'll
cut
a
bit
out.
I'd
like
to
thank
everybody
involved
with
the
coordination.
F
Yeah,
thank
you,
lord
mayor.
Can
I
start
off
by
just
reflecting
back
on
something
that
happened
at
my
scrutiny
board
last
week,
where
we
heard
about
the
excellent
work
that
the
various
community
groups,
neighborhood
networks
and
the
churches
and
the
way
people
came
together
and
also
the
way
that
to
reflect
a
comment.
That's
been
said
earlier
on
that
the
way
that
communities
department
had
risk
tested
a
lot
of
the
issues
and
were
able
to
hit
the
ground
running.
F
That
said,
I
do
have
a
number
of
issues,
I'm
just
wondering
if
yesterday
martin
greene,
the
chief
executive
of
care,
england,
said
that
some
councils
were
not
passing
all
of
the
emergency
government
funding
that
was
meant
to
be
given
to
care
homes,
and
if
someone
could
confirm
whether
or
not
leeds
is
actually
one
of
those
councils
or
not,
they
may
have
already
passed
it
all
on,
and
for
that
I
would
thank,
and
if
not,
if
we
get
an
explanation,
I
would
point
out
another
issue,
a
group
that
have
been
missed
out.
F
I
also
think
that,
as
a
council,
we
need
to
start
quickly
coming
up
with
a
won't
pay,
can't
pay
strategy
so
identifying
those
people
who
who
cannot
pay
and
give
them
help.
But
those
people
who
won't
pay
need
be
reminded
that
we're
still
delivering
council
services
and
they're
fun.
They
need
to
start
contributing
towards
it.
Those
that
can't
pay,
I
accept,
we've
still
got
to
help.
F
I've
also
got
concerns
that
planning
enforcement
don't
appear
to
be
able
to
come
out
and
do
anything
all
we're
asking
them
to
do
is
come
out,
have
a
look.
They
don't
have
to
go
and
speak
to
anybody.
They
don't
have
to
go
onto
the
premises.
They
could
go
and
have
a
look
on
things.
I
would
also
raise
concerns
about
the
way
some
planning
decisions
are
being
made.
F
There
are
also
problems
with
people
who
are
worried
about
school
appeals
and
haven't
heard
anything,
and
this
is
causing
issues,
and
we
also
need
to
be
sure
as
well
that
we
are
going
to
be
opening
some
playgrounds
in
the
city.
Now
we
can
afford
to
do
the
risk
assessments,
but
some
of
the
smaller
parish
councils
cannot
afford
to
do
this.
So
is
there
any
help?
D
H
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
my
lord
man.
Life
has
changed
for
many.
This
is
both
distressing
and
inconvenient,
but
for
people
who
run
a
business,
it
was
a
huge
and
is
a
huge
problem,
but
we
are
helping,
for
example,
the
emergency
active
travel
measures
we've
put
in
across
the
city,
including
the
local
district
centers,
help
people
get
where
they
need
to
be
in
a
safe
and
socially
distanced
way.
H
H
So
moving
on
to
colgate
market
for
the
small,
independent
traders
and
food
vendors,
it
epitomizes
the
struggle
many
businesses
have
faced
before
covid.
There
was
136
000
people
a
week
going
to
the
market
in
march.
It
plummeted
to
17
000.,
but
the
market
has
adapted.
Traders
have
risen
to
the
challenge
and
we've
been
there
to
help
to
support
them.
At
the
start,
we
set
up
a
mainland
by
email
service,
so
we
could
keep
in
touch
with
our
traders
and
update
them
with
important
government
guidance.
H
Feedback
was
positive.
We've
installed
new
signage
and
arrows
on
the
floor
again
with
traders,
we've
improved
the
digital
presence
and
put
in
delivery
services
and
click
and
collect
features
and
promoted
that
when
people
interacted
with
social
media
during
early
lockdown,
more
people
did
that
than
ever
before
and
helped
link
the
shoppers
and
the
traders.
H
So
customers
are
saying
they
feel
safe
shopping
in
market.
As
non-essential
shopping
has
returned,
we've
worked
with
the
kitchen
traders
and
sectioned
off
seating
areas
for
them
to
use
so
it's
safer.
I
Thank
you.
Lord
mayor
me
hear
me.
I
This
whole
covid
situation
has
been
a
massive
shock
to
the
whole
country
and
also
to
the
city
of
leeds
and
I'd,
just
like
to
echo
some
of
the
comments
which
have
gone
before
in
in
acknowledging
and
thanking
volunteers
which
have
done
who
have
done
such
a
great
job
and
I'm
thinking
in
particular
in
my
world,
in
all
woodley,
where
maycare
had
180
volunteers
and
they
did
a
tremendous
job,
and
I
I
would
like
to
place
on
record
my
thanks
to
them
and
to
all
the
others,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
two
points
and
ask
two
questions
really
on
the
covid
recovery
situation,
because
we
do
have
to
recover
from
this
one
on
the
bus
services
and
the
other
on
the
implications
for
climate
emergency
advice
now
on
buses
first
has
recently
issued
what
amounts
to
a
going
concern
warning
following
losses
of
300
million
pounds.
I
I
As
we
all
know,
the
whole
point
of
the
government's
so-called
ema
payments
has
been
to
enable
key
workers
to
continue
going
to
work,
so
what
measures
are
being
planned
to
make
sure
that,
in
that
eventuality,
those
services
can
continue
to
operate
now
on
climate
advice
during
kobe,
does
members
know
the
seahat
committee
meets
on
friday
and
I
wrote
to
councillor
walsh
on
the
18th
of
june
about
this,
and
we
spoke
briefly
yesterday
and,
as
my
colleagues
and
I
pointed
out
to
him,
the
world
is
a
very
different
place
now
to
the
one
which
pertained
in
february,
for
example,
is
the
carbon
neutrality
target
by
2030
now
realistic,
or
should
it
now
be
an
aspiration?
I
Only
can
the
city
afford
the
very,
very
big
massive
tree
planting
scheme
that
we
had
before
fewer
journeys
to
work
will
now
take
place
post
covid?
What
will
be
the
longer
term
impact
of
this
trend
on
clean
air
for
the
city
and,
most
importantly,
on
the
recovery,
given
the
enormous
difficulty
facing
the
economy?
I
J
Sorry,
I
wasn't,
I
didn't
know
you're
going
to
call
me
so
I've
missed
half
of
the
debate.
So
apologies
for
that,
but
if
I
could
add
my
thanks
to
all
of
the
those
who've
contributed
to
the
effort
and
the
response
in
the
city,
which
has
been
phenomenal.
There's
too
many
to
mention,
but
particularly
in
my
ward,
I'd
like
to
thank
all
those
volunteers,
we've
had
a
fantastic
community
hub,
probably
one
of
the
best
in
the
exemplars
in
the
city.
I
suspect
the
manager
is
listening
to
this.
J
So
I'd
like
to
pass
on
my
thanks
to
him
and
all
of
his
team.
Who've
done
an
incredible
job
and
all
of
the
volunteers
in
our
area
and
across
the
city
for
the
response.
They've.
Had
it's
fair
to
say
it's
been
lots
of
good
things
and
lots
of
positives
that
have
happened
in
the
city.
There's
a
lot
of
good
things
about
the
council's
response
that
we've
been
pleased
to
support,
but
it
was
disappointing.
J
One
contribution
I
did
hear
right
at
the
start
was
from
councillor
charles
wood
and
the
very
first
thing
she
did
was
attack
the
government
about
ppe.
Now,
as
councillor
carter
said,
it
is
an
unprecedented
challenge
that
the
city
and
the
country
have
faced,
and
you
could
put
the
same
challenge
straight
back
to
councillor
charlewood.
Why
didn't
she
take
the
chance
to
stockpile
ppe?
It's
one
thing
to
criticize
the
government.
Why
didn't
she
do
it?
It's
also
worth
noting
some
of
the
things
the
government
have
done
to
support
the
city
and
the
economy.
J
Speaking
as
someone
who
has
been
battling
to
keep
a
business
going
over
the
crisis,
it's
fair
to
say
the
government
have
stepped
up
to
try
and
support
the
business
community
and
the
city,
and
the
next
stage
for
this
city
is
to
really
get
behind
our
businesses
and
give
them
the
best
chance
of
getting
going
things
like
looking
at
car
parking
so
that
people
will
come
and
visit
the
city
center.
J
Things
like
looking
at
how
we
get
the
city
moving,
how
we
encourage
people
back
into
shops
and
businesses
and
services
looking
at
the
planning
system
to
see
how
we
can
quickly
support
businesses
to
adapt
and
change.
Potentially
looking
at
change
of
use
of
buildings,
I
think
we
all
know,
as
homeworking
is
here
to
stay.
J
Hopefully
these
kind
of
meetings
are
not
here
to
stay,
because
I
think
if,
if
there
was
any
doubt
before
that
they
don't
work,
we
know
from
this
afternoon
that
the
sooner
we
get
back
into
proper
meetings
face
to
face.
We
could
do
it
now.
We
know
the
technology's
there.
It
can
be
done
socially
distanced.
J
It
does
give
the
opportunity
for
those
that
can't
to
be
here,
and
it
is
absolutely
essential
on
behalf
of
everyone
in
this
city,
that
we
have
the
right
to
hold
this
administration
properly
to
account
and
until
we're
meeting
properly,
we
can't
do
that
so
I'll
leave
it
there.
Lord
mayor,
thank
you
very
much.
B
B
K
K
Understandably,
the
report
deals
with
the
visibility
aspects
of
services
such
as
bin
services,
food
packages
and
deliveries,
ppe,
etc.
Things
that
you
can
see
and
measure.
In
fact,
our
community
committee
has
given
funding
to
the
samaritans
because
of
the
rise
in
serious
mental
health
issues
because
of
the
lockdown.
K
But
what
concerns
me
a
great
deal
are
the
unseen
consequences
of
the
lockdown
from
a
community
safety
point
of
view,
and
I
feel
that
this
will
continue
to
have
an
impact
along
into
the
future.
For
example,
safer
leads
domestic
violence
and
abuse
team
reports,
a
25
increase
in
marriage
cases,
since
the
introduction
of
lockdown,
the
true
scale
could
suddenly
be
much
higher,
and
since
restrictions
of
lockdown
and
social
isolation
have
been
necessarily
meant
that
people
are
more
likely
to
be
indoors
together
with
fewer
outlets.
K
I
welcome
the
government's
funding
provided
for
services
supporting
victims
of
domestic
abuse
and
sexual
abuse.
I
understand
that
about
half
a
million
pounds
has
been
distributed
across
organizations
in
west
yorkshire
for
delivery
between
march
and
october,
and
ring
feigns
to
the
kovid
19
related
emergency
funding.
K
Looking
at
some
of
the
figures
coming
to
the
police
and
crime
panel
later
this
week,
there's
a
comparison
of
the
impact
of
crime
levels
in
west
yorkshire
compared
to
nationally,
as
you
can
imagine,
crime
has
actually
come
down
in
the
country
through
the
whole
country,
whilst
west
yorkshire
compares
favorably
in
some
areas,
such
as
burglary,
which
has
fallen
from
44
to
34
and
nationally.
That
compares
other
measures
show
a
starker
difference.
K
Violence
against
a
person
has
fallen
only
13
in
west
yorkshire
compared
to
25
reduction
nationally,
as
we
move
out
of
lockdown
people
are
already
gathering
in
large
numbers
and
we
rely
upon
the
police
to
protect
our
safety.
Our
police
have
been
subject
to
insults,
they've
been
spat
at
and
indeed
they've
had
violence
committed
against
them.
As
a
council,
I'd
like
to
make
it
crystal
clear,
we
will
not
tolerate
such
behavior
or
violence
against
our
police.
K
L
Thank
you,
lord
mayor.
I
I
would
also
like
to
associate
myself
with
the
comments
made
by
other
members
that
our
deepest
sympathy
go
to
those
who've
lost
loved
ones
in
this
coronavirus
crisis,
and
we
shouldn't
forget
that
we
have
lost
two
of
our
own.
My
last
briefing,
I'm
aware
that
two
officers
have
passed
away
through
coronavirus
and
our
thoughts
are
with
them
and
their
families.
L
L
I'd
particularly
like
to
mention
in
some
individual
groups,
who've
popped
up
during
corona
virus
and
have
shown
the
ingenuity
of
our
residents.
Andy
nicholson,
angela
hanafin
bob
bailey
who've
organized
groups
like
scholes,
cares.
Barrick
cares
an
aberford
support
group
and
thorna
cares
group
and
they've
all
not
waited
for
leadership
from
the
council.
They've
just
gone
on
and
got
things
started,
and
that's
made
a
really
big
difference
to
groups
like
whether
being
support
the
elderly.
L
But
if
our
city
is
going
to
be
open
after
coronavirus,
then
we
need
a
council
recovery
plan
that
shows
we
are
getting
back
to
work.
I've
had
some
mixed
responses
from
residents.
Who've
suggested
to
me
that
some
departments
are
very
willing
and
able
to
get
back
out
there
and
meet
with
residents
and
start
working
through
that
backlog
and
others
have
got
no
return
date
and
cannot
suggest
any
date
to
to
our
members.
L
Similarly,
I
know
that
loveton
hall
and
I
hate
to
undermine
the
deputy
executive
member,
but
lobster
hall
announced
an
hour
ago
that
they
won't
be
opening
on
the
17th.
L
They
are
still
delayed,
so
hopefully
in
the
summing
up,
the
leader
of
council
can
say
when
loveton
will
be
going
back,
because
it's
so
important
that
we
start
to
get
income
coming
back
into
the
council
and
opening
up
facilities
like
lobbington
is
key
to
that.
I've
asked
in
the
past
about
youth
activity
funding.
We
know
that
youth
activities
won't
be
able
to
take
place,
as
they
would
do
normally
through
the
summer
period,
which
is
the
busiest
for
all
of
our
awards.
L
Finally,
I
also
want
to
mention
about
public
transport.
What
has
been
highlighted
to
me
is
that
there
are
huge
difficulties
around
public
transport
at
the
moment
and
the
lower
service
that
has
been
seen
in
some
of
the
outer
areas
of
the
city
have
left
people
completely
cut
off,
not
just
from
getting
to
work,
but
from
supporting
family
friends
and
loved
ones
or
even
being
able
to
get
to
the
shops
we
need,
if
we're
having
a
transport
strategy.
L
A
Thank
you,
lord
math.
Thank
you.
Sorry,
you
you
moved
on
quickly
when
I
was
trying
to
unblock
my
microphone
on
camera
last
time.
Can
I
start
please,
lord
mayor,
it's
clear
from
my
colleague's
speeches
that
teams
across
the
council
have
carried
out
great
work
during
the
pandemic
to
support
our
residents.
A
A
I'm
told
that
our
waste
services
we're
dealing
with
an
extra
20
20
tonnage
in
black
bins
and
an
extra
8
in
green
bins
all
while
many
of
their
own
colleagues
had
to
had
no
choice
but
to
stay
at
home
and
shield.
Keeping
our
bin
collection
running
week
after
week
must
stop
taking
a
huge
effort
and
I'd
like
to
thank
all
the
workers
who
managed
it
despite
the
heavy
load.
A
A
Overall,
I
think
the
council
and
our
dedicated
workers
have
cope
with
this
with
the
environmental
safety
impact
of
the
pandemic
very
well,
and
it
has
shown
why
well-run
council
services
are
vital
to
our
residents.
I'm
sure
that
councillors
and
residents
alike
appreciate
the
huge
effort
of
everyone
during
the
difficult
time.
Thank
you.
Lord.
I
I
didn't
really
know
where
to
pitch
my
speech
today,
there's
just
so
much
that
could
be
said,
but
with
the
time
allocated,
I'm
going
to
offer
thanks
to
the
thousands
of
people
that
have
worked
tirelessly
to
keep
us
safe,
keep
us
well
and
to
keep
us
connected,
not
just
in
an
online
way,
but
you
know
we're
all
in
this
together
way,
but
first
like
so
many,
my
thoughts
are
with
the
nearly
650
residents
of
this
city
that
have
died
due
to
covert
and
also,
let
us
not
forget
the
nearly
400
estimated
deaths
of
kingdom.
I
They
all
rest
in
peace.
I
also
want
to
pay
tribute
to
the
family
and
friends
of
our
front
line:
workers,
wives,
husbands,
children,
often
young
children,
as
they
continue
to
watch
and
wave
their
loved
ones
off
to
the
hospitals,
their
care
homes
and
other
people's
homes.
It's
remarkable
just
how
stoic
these
families
are.
I
I'm
afraid
I
don't
have
time
to
discuss
our
other
our
government's
response,
other
than
to
say
that
dominic
cummings
should
have
gone
to
spectators
rather
than
barnard
castle,
that
the
health
secretary
tests
like
boris,
counts,
new
hospitals
and
gove
nor
governs
just
gov,
I'm
sure
over
the
coming
months
and
years.
I'll
have
ample
time
to
come
up
comment
on
their
performance,
but
I
really
did
want
them
to
succeed.
I
really
truly
did,
but
there
you
go
back
to
thanking
those
that
have
gone
the
extra
mile.
I
So
I'd
like
to
thank
all
the
organizations
and
volunteers
that
stepped
up
served
their
community
and
helped
in
the
hour
or
weeks,
sometimes
months
of
need
for
our
most
frail
vulnerable
and
at-risk
residents
in
my
own
community.
That
means
thanking
not
reaction
for
older
people,
the
notley
courthouse
for
they
did
and
in
yeden
I've
said,
did
the
same
in
reducing
isolation
and
the
fear
of
isolation,
whether
it
was
shopping,
collecting
and
delivering
medicines,
or
by
making
thousands
of
telephone
calls.
I
They
took
the
strain,
delivered
the
care
and
compassion
and
proved
once
and
for
all
what
an
asset
they
are
to
the
city
on
the
leads
level
to
all
our
key
workers,
whether
you're,
a
consultant
in
a
hospital
or
a
cleaner
in
a
supermarket.
You
have
done
as
proud.
You've
demonstrated
that
money
does
not
always
equate
to
value.
I
J
Thank
you,
lord
mayor,
I'm
speaking
today
to
pay
a
particular
tribute
to
the
volunteers
in
horsworth.
Who've
pledged
their
time
to
help
those
shielding,
self-isolating
or
otherwise
struggling
due
to
the
coronavirus
pandemic.
J
In
my
ward,
we
establish
the
horse
with
community
aid
project
or
hcap.
The
committee
is
made
up
of
trusted
community
focused
residents,
who
came
together
to
ensure
those
who
needed
help
received
it.
Hcap
has
coordinated
volunteers
to
provide
personal
shops
for
residents,
make
up
and
deliver
food
parcels
and
help
with
offers
for
daily
routine
tasks
such
as
collecting
prescriptions
and
walking
the
dog
hcap
wouldn't
function
without
those
volunteers
who
came
together
at
the
start
of
the
pandemic
to
get
this
project
off
the
ground.
J
We
also
extend
our
thanks
to
the
central
methodist
church
and
those
who
worship
there
for
their
kindness,
generosity
and
communities,
community
spirit
for
allowing
us
to
use
the
building
to
ensure
that
our
community
has
been
supported.
As
mentioned,
I'm
joined
on
the
committee
by
local
residents
and
the
significant
personal
investment
committed
by
them
should
be
recognized.
Woodside
town
councillor
chris
calvert
arranged.
Our
first
meeting
has
been
instrumental
in
coordinating
volunteers.
J
Our
local
morrisons
community
champion
sarah
marston
has
provided
and
donated
supplies
for
our
food
boxes.
Landlady
of
the
old

lindsay
lindsay
clark,
leeds
council
officer,
vicky
maylie,
claire
burch,
kezia
roberts,
nikki,
morris
and
lisa
east
have
all
contributed
significant
time
and
effort
to
hcap.
J
I'd
also
like
to
thank
our
abcd
coordinator,
claire
evans,
who
has
supported
much
of
the
governance
of
the
project,
amongst
other
things,
duncan
stove
from
horseford
churches
together
and
reverend
nigel
sinclair
for
support
on
the
steering
group,
which
has
contributed
to
an
almost
smooth
running
of
the
project.
So
far,
just
two
final
acknowledgements,
my
lord
mayor,
firstly
to
sally
metcalfe,
who
has
been
seconded
from
horse
with
live
at
home
to
help
with
the
daily
running
of
hcap.
It's
fair
to
say
that
sally
has
given
an
extraordinary
amount
of
the
project.
J
Ensuring
vouchers
are
issued,
shops
are
completed
and
the
phone
is
answered.
Sally

delivered
across
horsewood.
J
B
G
Thank
you,
lord
man.
I'm
really
sorry.
G
I
had
problems
getting
on
the
call,
so
I
did
some
of
the
earlier
contributions
before
we
over
to
this
call,
but
I
I
had
wanted
to
open
the
debate
by
first
of
all
saying
that
I
I
particularly
wanted
to
have
this
special
report
come
to
council
just
for
all
of
us
to
acknowledge
the
real
significance
of
the
impact
of
kovid
19
across
the
city,
and
it's
very
difficult
to
really
imagine
going
back
to
the
last
time
we're
in
the
council
chamber
together
in
late
february,
discussing
the
budget
for
this
year
and
everything
that
has
happened
since
then,
and
I
was
particularly
keen
for
us
to
come
together,
because
I
think
it's
important
that
we
all
have
the
opportunity
to
express
our
real
concerns
for
the
immense
impact
this
has
had
on
every
single
person's
life.
G
And
I
don't
think
we've
ever
experienced
anything
as
far-reaching
as
this
and
it's
you
know
very
stark
to
think.
We've
lost
645
people
to
the
varys
in
leads,
and
the
impact
that
that
has
had
on
all
of
their
families
and
to
put
this
in
the
context
of
45
000
almost
across
the
country,
is
something
that
none
of
us
wanted
to
see
at
all
and
the
real
concern
we
have.
G
Of
course,
we
all
worked
hard
to
protect
the
nhs,
which
was
the
real
mantra,
but
what
we,
we
all
have
an
enormous
responsibility
now
to
encourage
people
to
go
back
to
using
the
nhs,
and
I
have
enormous
concern
about
increased
deaths
in
the
near
future
as
a
result
of
people
not
presenting
when
they
have
signs
that
they
they
have
problems,
and
that
is
something
we
all
have
to
come
together
to
to
really
take
account
of
the
fact
that
you
know
the
nhs
has
done
incredible
work
to
make
sure
that
they
can
see
patients
safely.
G
G
But
our
staff
have
just
been
extraordinary,
as
they
always
are
when
we
are
facing
a
crisis
and
well,
you
know.
I
know
all
of
our
directors
have
been
passing
on
our
thanks,
but
I
think
it's
important
from
this
council
meeting
today
that
all
of
us
come
together
to
show
our
real
appreciation
to
them.
And
I
know
if
we
were
in
the
room
together,
we
would
do
that.
We
would
stand.
G
We
would
applaud
and
really
demonstrate
just
how
grateful
we
are
for
the
the
work
that
they
have
done
so
far
are
continuing
to
do
and,
as
we
know,
we'll
have
to
continue
to
do
into
the
future,
but
also
the
true
spirit
of
leads
coming
through
the
real
partnership
work
that
just
came
together
so
quickly,
so
key
workers
across
all
of
the
front
line
public
sector,
but
our
businesses
too
and
of
course,
most
importantly,
the
people
of
leeds
and
the
really
phenomenal
response
when
the
call
went
out
asking
for
volunteers
to
help
the
most
vulnerable
across
our
communities.
G
And
many
of
you
have
spoken
very
movingly
today
about
the
the
work
that
has
happened
in
in
in
our
communities
and
and
thank
thanks
go
out
to
everyone
who
has
made
that
possible.
G
G
The
fact
that
we
still
have
disease
workers
in
our
cities
and
belatedly,
a
recognition
from
government
that
actually
its
local
authorities,
who
have
the
expertise
to
actually
do
the
work
in
our
communities,
and
I
think
we
all
should
be
very
grateful
for
tom
being
seconded
into
government
to
help
them
get
across
the
message
to
the
government
about
how
important
the
local
response
is.
G
In
situations
like
this,
I
have
to
also
acknowledge
the
phenomenal
work.
That's
happened
across
our
care
sector,
both
in
adults
and
in
children's,
and
that
has
been
some
of
the
most
heartbreaking
and
difficult
situations
that
we've
had
to
have
to
face.
I
just
want
to
say
to
barry
yes
in
leeds.
We
have
been
passing
on
the
money,
it's
a
very,
very
complex
situation,
so
I
just
want
to
reassure
you
that
we're
not
on
the
list
and
we
have
already
paid
out
around
12
million
pounds
to
them.
G
G
We
can't
be
complacent.
The
pandemic
is
not
over.
G
We
are
in
a
situation
of
learning
to
live
with
the
virus,
and
if
we
have
situations
where
certain
facilities
or
sectors
decide
that
they're
not
ready
to
move
forward,
we
would
have
to
assume
that
that
is
based
on
the
best
health
and
safety
advice
that
is
available
to
them
at
that
time
and
respect
the
decisions
that
are
being
made.
G
Of
course,
what
we
know
is
that
the
economic
impact
on
our
city
is
going
to
be
immense.
We
know
that
many
businesses
are
suffering
and
we
know
that
many
people
have
lost
jobs.
We
have
been
in
a
position
to
respond
swiftly
to
the
grant
programme.
G
That
came
our
way,
and
I
do
thank
government
for
that.
But
over
142
million
pounds
worth
of
money
going
to
eleven
and
a
half
thousand
businesses
is
a
real
achievement,
but
we
know
that
there
has
been
already
a
42
increase
in
the
number
of
people
in
leeds
on
universal
credit,
and
that
is
something
that
we're
really
concerned
about.
G
I
was
obviously
very
active
in
campaigning
for
government
to
continue
their
free
school
meal
entitlement
over
the
summer
holidays
and
I'm
disappointed
to
let
you
know
that
new
claimants
in
that
period
will
not
be
eligible
for
free
school
meals.
G
I
think
this
is
something
we
should
continue
to
lobby
on,
but
what
I
have
to
say
is
there
is
a
huge
amount
of
work
going
on
at
local
level
in
communities
at
leeds
level,
west,
yorkshire,
feeding
up
to
national
in
terms
of
the
economic
recovery,
but
we
have
to
get
the
response
to
the
health
emergency
in
place.
G
For
that
to
be
successful,
our
local
outbreak
board
is
up
and
running,
and
we
have
some
really
excellent
contributions
already
coming
forward.
Really
helping
us
to
understand
the
different
settings,
the
different.
B
G
And
if
I
could
just
finish
off
by
saying
lord
mayor
that
you
know
we,
we
understand
the
complexity
of
the
situation
we're
facing.
But
if
local
government
is
not
given
the
resource
it
needs
to
come
through
this
crisis,
then
we
might
face
a
situation
where
we
face
a
second
spike
in
the
winter,
with
local
authorities
such
as
leeds
reducing
the
frontline
services
we
have.
This
cannot
be
allowed
to
happen
and,
I
hope
cross
party
in
this
council.
G
We
will
continue
to
work
to
explain
to
government
how
important
it
is
that
we
get
the
full
compensation
that
we
deserve
for
having
stood
up
so
strongly
together
to
deal
with
the
worst
excesses
of
the
immediate
impact.
But
there
is
a
long
way
to
go.
G
I
know
there
will
be
many
inquiries
into
the
handling
of
the
different
aspects
and
what
we
continue
to
do
lord
mayor
is
to
say
that
these
events
need
to
be
managed
locally
and
we
need
strong
local
government
to
enable
us
to
go
forward
to
enable
the
recovery
that
we
desperately
need.
Thank
you.
B
B
M
I'm
delighted
to
be
able
to
move
this
not
for
debate
white
paper
in
the
terms
of
the
notice,
which
is
that
this
council
wishes
to
place
on
record
its
thanks
and
appreciation
to
all
the
nhs
staff,
key
workers,
teachers
and
volunteers
who
have
worked
tirelessly
to
help
protect
and
support
the
people
of
leeds
during
the
covid
19
pandemic.
And
I
am
pleased,
given
the
last
debate
that
this
it
has
all
party
agreement.
M
Can
the
executive
member
for
learning,
skills
and
employment
confirm
if
the
council
has
received
a
response
from
the
department
for
education
to
an
application
in
2018
requesting
powers
of
innovation
to
run
unrest,
unregistered
provision
and
seeking
clarity
on
whether
the
council's
provision
was
legal?
And,
if
so,
did
the
department
for
education
agree
with
the
council's.
N
Request,
thank
you
for
the
question.
Counselor
carter.
I
know
the
wider
issue
around
area.
Inclusion
partnership
provision
is
something
that
you've
obviously
been
interested
in
for
a
long
time
and
obviously
I
think
there's
a
bit
of
confusion
about
this.
Some
keem
to
provide
council
with
a
bit
of
a
snapshot
of
the
background
to
council
carter's
question.
N
This
was
in
response
to
a
suggestion
that
each
provision
may
need
to
go
through
separate
registration
processes
with
all
of
the
potential
difficulties
that
that
would
fail.
So
the
leads
proposal
was
to
reassure
and
allay
any
concerns
of
the
dfe.
Essentially,
this
was
a
belt
and
braces
approach.
We
offered
up
in
case
the
dfa
had
any
ongoing
concerns.
N
The
dfa
looked
at
the
proposal
and
they
were
sympathetic
to
the
league's
position
and
they
saw
clarity
on
exactly
what
leads
were
asking.
They
stated
that,
if
leads
were
requesting
to
suspend
sections,
96
and
97
of
the
education
and
skills
act,
2008,
which
relates
to
the
operating
of
an
unregistered
independent
school
and
sections
98
and
99
of
the
same
act
which
requires
to
register
an
independent
school,
then
they
could
not
agree.
N
The
final
discussion,
which
was
just
prior
to
the
kovid
19
outbreak,
there's
a
correspondence
from
james
vance
at
the
dfv,
which
I
know
councillor
carter
has
seen
it.
It
was
in
a
recent
foi
that
councilor
carter
put
in,
and
that
says
that-
and
I
quote,
I
agreed
to
try
and
set
out
the
issues
we
discussed
to
support.
Further
discussions
with
the
dfe
ofsted
with
yourselves
leads:
do
not
believe
these
settings
are
operating
as
independent
schools
or
that
registering
these
settings
as
independent
schools
is
appropriate.
N
You
view
them
as
inclusion
units
which
are
part
of
existing
school
provision,
and
that
point
is
key.
Secondly,
the
letter
and
I'm
still
quoting
the
arrangements,
have
evolved
from
the
2012
exclusions
trials
and
involves
settings
that
multiple
schools
in
the
locality
view
make
provision
themselves.
Three.
They
are
funded
by
the
local
authority.
High
needs
block,
which
is
often
funneled
through
a
lead
school
from
that
one
obvious
route
to
provide.
N
Clarity
would
be
to
confirm
that
these
units
are
operating
as
part
of
a
lead
school
through
which
funding
is
provided
and
which
is
responsible
for
employing
the
staff.
If
this
is
the
case,
then
the
unit
is
part
of
the
registered
provision
provided
by
the
lead
school
and,
and
that's
the
end
of
the
quote,
so
we
confirmed
with
the
dfp
that
that
was
the
case
in
march.
2020,
therefore
negating
the
need
for
a
power
to
innovate
proposal
and
there
have
been
no
further
correspondence
with
the
dfb.
N
I
hope
that
clarifies
where
we
are
with
councillor
carter,
but
of
course,
I'm
more
than
happy
to
arrange
for
further
information
should
that
be
required.
Thank
you.
M
I
am
informed
and
counsellor
pryor
needs
to
answer
this-
the
school's
regional
schools,
commissioners,
that
the
conversation
on
the
2018
letter
and
the
request
for
suspension,
which
has
not
been
granted
is
still
subject
to
discussion,
and
they
have
asked
for
further
evidence
about
the
provisions
in
order
that
they
are
able
to
check
their
legality,
and
I
quote
so
councillor
pryor.
M
N
I'm
sorry,
I
think,
there's
still
some
confusion.
I
I
did
answer
that
question
in
the
answer.
Let
me
go
over
some
of
that
again,
because
I
want
to
be
really
clear
on
this.
N
So
to
summarize
and
confirm
the
current
leads
model
leeds
area
inclusion
partnerships
have
used
their
devolved
funding
to
establish
learning
inclusion
units
within
mainstream
schools
in
their
local
areas.
These
inclusion
units
offer
focused
targeted
and
high-level
support
to
learners
who
are
at
risk
of
exclusion
and
and
vulnerable
to
poor
outcomes
on
a
short-term
basis.
N
N
The
learners,
mainstream
school
retains
responsibility
and
accountability
for
the
learners
outcomes,
ensuring
that
the
school
remains
invested
in
the
learner's
development.
Progress
and
outcomes
for
each
learner
are
monitored
and
reviewed
by
being
clear
in
area
inclusion
partnership
and
are
regularly
reported
to
the
to
the
la
which
in
turn,
analyzes
those
outcomes
and
provides
support
and
challenge
accordingly.
N
This
is
a
practice
which
can
clearly
be
detrimental
to
those
displaced
learners,
and
I
am
pleased
in
fact
that
the
council
land
scrutiny
board
is
continuing
to
look
at
this
practice
now
if
councillor
carter
is
saying
that
he's
got
additional
information,
I
implore
you
to
send
that
through,
but
but
that's
that's
not
something
I
have
so
I'll
leave
it
there
for
now.
Thank
you.
J
O
Thank
you,
lord
mayor.
Thank
you
councillor,
galton,
for
the
question,
and
I
do
indeed
remember
that
deputation
to
council
and
the
residents
showing
a
great
passion
and
community
spirit
in
their
campaign,
the
council,
in
its
capacity
as
local
planning
authority,
considered
the
landowner's
planning
application
and
members
of
the
plans
panel
determined
it
as
a
refusal.
O
The
landowner
has
taken
up
the
opportunity
to
appeal
against
this
decision,
which
means
the
application
will
be
considered
by
an
independent
planning
inspector.
On
behalf
of
the
secretary
of
state,
I
can
assure
members
of
council
that
the
council
will
represent
will
present
the
best
case
it
can
to
defend
its
decision
to
refuse
planning
permission
and
has
appointed
a
team
of
appropriately
trained
professionals
to
fight
the
appeal
led
by
a
barrister,
independent
of
the
council's
view
of
sustainability
of
the
properties
to
which
I
will
come.
O
O
Counselor
cooper,
yes,
thank
you,
chair,
sorry,
yeah
and
and
again
thanks
for
the
supplementary
council
golton.
I
know
that
you
and
I
have
been
in
correspondence
about
this
issue
and
indeed
I've
been
in
correspondence
with
the
residents
as
well
about
the
the
self-serving
issue
and,
as
I've
already
said,
once
the
planning
process
is
over
I'm
more
than
happy
to
be
involved
with
those
said
residents
once
again
and
yourself
as
their
as
the
ward
member
council
of
golden.
O
B
N
Thank
you,
councillor
ray
yeah.
I
would
be
delighted
to
join
you
in
that.
I
think
on
behalf
of
all
the
council.
We
do
owe
a
huge
debt
of
gratitude
to
all
school
staff,
and
I
am
really
proud,
as
the
executive
member
of
how
leads
has
really
pulled
together
to
ensure
that
children
have
continued
to
receive
an
education
throughout
the
covert
crisis.
N
So
schools
in
leeds
and
across
the
country
actually
have
worked
tirelessly
to
ensure
that
vulnerable
children
and
the
cheap
children
key
workers
could
remain
at
school,
and
without
this
in
place,
it
meant
that
other
parts
of
our
country
just
could
not
respond
in
the
way
that
it
was
needed.
N
Without
them,
the
country
would
have
just
ground
to
a
halt
as
doctors,
nurses,
anesthetists,
refuse
workers,
postal
workers,
supermarket
workers,
delivery,
drivers
and
others
just
found
themselves
unable
to
go
to
work
due
to
child
care
issues,
but
in
addition
to
remaining
open
throughout
the
crisis,
schools
have
also
provided
comprehensive
online
learning
to
the
thousands
of
children.
Who've
remained
at
home.
This
hasn't
been
easy
and
I
am
immensely
proud
of
every
single
one
of
our
schools.
N
They've
risen
to
what's
been
an
immeasurable
challenge
now
as
we're
looking
forward,
it
is
vital
that
children
do
return
to
school
in
a
safe
way,
both
for
their
own
safety.
The
safety
of
staff
and
I've
been
involved
along
with
council
blake,
with
regular
zoom
calls
with
head
teachers
across
the
city
and
talking
about
their
concerns
going
through
guidance,
and
that's
meant
that
a
coordinated
approach
based
on
sound
principles
has
been
able
to
take
place,
and
I'm
really
pleased
that
our
approach
has
been
welcomed
by
by
schools
and
parents.
L
N
Herd
them
in
regardless
of
risk,
but
safety
has
always
been
key
and
I'm
pleased
that
our
measured
approach
based
firmly
on
risk
assessments
and
decided
jointly
with
schools
has
been
proven
to
work
and
the
return
to
school
to
leeds
has
been
much
smoother
than
it
could
have
been.
So
once
again,
a
huge
thank
you
to
everyone
involved
in
keeping
our
schools
open
and
our
children
educated.
It's
been
hugely
appreciated.
Thank
you.
C
Yes,
I
do
lord
mayor,
thank
you
for
that,
and
does
he
have
any
comment
on
the
recent
issue
department
for
education,
guidance
on
schools
returning
september
and
the
impact
from
schools
in
leeds.
N
Thank
you
for
that
councillor
ray.
I
know
this
will
probably
be
of
interest
to
council
stevenson
too,
who
had
a
question
on
this,
but
sadly
I
don't
think
we'll
reach
that
one.
So
schools
have
been
told
to
reopen
in
september
and
that
they
must
use
their
existing
resources
to
make
the
adjustments
that
are
needed
to
ensure
the
safety
of
both
pupils
and
staff.
Yet,
actually,
there
are
no
plans
at
presence
to
reimburse
schools
for
the
huge
additional
costs
incurred
as
part
of
that
process.
N
One
primary
school
in
leeds
that
we've
spoken
to
has
said
it
will
cost
them
an
additional
eight
thousand
pounds
to
install
external
sinks
needed
for
children
to
wash
their
hands
before
entering
the
building.
That's
eight
thousand
pounds
they
haven't
budgeted
for
and
eight
thousand
pounds
that
they
seemingly
won't
get
back
now.
N
This
is
on
top
of
in
this
figure
I've
used
in
cancer
before,
but
since
2010
schools
have
had
their
funding
cut
by
8
per
pupil,
so
schools
are
already
struggling
with
their
budgets
after
a
decade
of
austerity,
and
then
the
government
isn't
confirming
that
they're
going
to
support
them
in
this
we
want
all
children
to
be
able
to
return
to
school,
but
the
guidance
recently
published
by
the
government
actually
raised
more
questions
than
it
answered.
The
sheer
logistical
challenge
of
bringing
back
an
entire
school,
particularly
secondary
school,
all
in
one
go
is
enormous.
N
The
suggestion,
for
example,
is
for
staggered,
start
finish,
break
and
lunch
times,
but
for
a
school
with
300
pupils
for
year
group,
that's
almost
entire
day
taken
up
with
pupils
either
arriving
eating
on
a
break
or
leaving.
N
If
a
lunch
break
is
30
minutes,
that's
three
and
a
half
hour
lunch
plus
time,
and
that's
not
even
accounting
for
the
time
that
would
need
to
be
taken
between
each
year
group
to
clean
the
dining
hall.
N
If
you
have
staggered
start
and
finish
times,
how
will
transport
to
and
from
school
be
managed
how
many
more
buses
do?
We
need
how
many
more
drivers,
so
those
extra
buses
and
drivers
that
we
need
even
exist
and
who
will
pay
an
estimate
on
what
the
government's
advice
on
travel
arrangements
would
be.
Could
cost
this
council
up
to
an
additional
five
million
pounds
and
the
government
hasn't
confirmed
whether
they'll
cover
these
costs.
The
guidance
merely
just
says
that
further
information
will
be
issued.
N
The
guidance
states
that
social
distancing
won't
be
state
won't
be
necessary
on
dedicated
school
services,
even
though
bubbles
will
be
mixing
and
pupils
traveling
on
public
transport
will
be
subjected
to
the
same
rules
around
social
distancing
and
face
coverings
as
everyone
else.
Although
they're
also
encouraged
not
to
fill
up
the
public
transport
during
peak
times
with
walking
and
cycling
encouraged.
N
There
are
a
huge
amount
of
questions
from
this
government
guidance,
but,
as
we
did
with
preparations
for
the
schools
gradually
expanding
their
opening
back
in
june,
we
are
continuing
to
work
in
partnership
with
our
schools
to
ensure
that
pupils
and
staff
can
return
in
a
safe
fashion.
We
all
want
to
make
sure
the
gaps
entertainment's
on
our
road
and
our
schools
have
been
doing
an
outstanding
job
in
unprecedented
times.
We
can
only
work
to
close
those
gaps,
though,
if
parents
have
the
confidence
to
send
that
send
their
children
back
to
work.
Thank
you.
Lord
man,.
O
Yeah,
thank
you,
lord.
Thank
you
councillor
for
the
question.
During
the
carving
19
pandemic,
the
council
has
done
its
utmost
to
ensure
that
its
citizens
are
safe.
At
this
time
we
have
a
particular
duty
to
support
the
homeless
and
rough
sleeping
community.
At
this
time.
The
government
has
also
instructed
us
to
accommodate
all
rough
sleepers
and
people
living
in
hostels
with
inappropriate
sharing
living
spaces
to
meet
demand
for
separate
bedrooms.
Leeds
city
council
have
had
to
source
additional
accommodation.
O
This
has
included
five
hotels,
private
accommodation
providers
and
the
re-opening
of
supported
facilities.
The
accommodation
range
includes
bedroom,
hotel
apartments,
standard
hotel
rooms
and
private
lakes.
We
currently
have
177
people
provided
with
temperate
accommodation
in
hotels,
which
includes
54,
who
have
been
formally
rough
sleeping
in
leeds
placements
into
the
hotels,
has
been
very
swift.
Anyone
identified
as
rough
sleeping
or
an
imminent
risk
of
rough
sleeping
has
been
offered
accommodation
in
taking
this
approach.
The
local
authority
has
also
accommodated
people
who
are
destitute
or
have
no
recourse
to
public
funds.
O
Everyone
placed
in
emergency
accommodation
throughout
the
carving
19
pandemic
is
being
supported
in
a
number
of
practical
ways.
This
includes
the
delivery
of
food
and
hygiene
packs.
It
is
the
intention
that
the
council
will
respond
to
every
placement
made
with
an
appropriate
exit
strategy
for
individuals
which
will
meet
their
short,
medium
and
longer
term
accommodation
needs.
O
O
We
have
seen
and
had
reported
one
or
two
incidents
of
begging
in
the
outer
areas,
and
we
are
tackling
the
issue
with
an
array
of
tactics
including
use
of
the
criminal
justice
process
and
where
appropriate,
anti-social
behaviour
legislation.
We
continue
to
work
with
colleagues
from
neighborhood,
policing
teams
and
safe
elite.
Anti-Social
behavior
team
tackle
the
issue.
B
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
lord
mayor.
One
way,
the
recent
lockdown
and
restrictions
have
demonstrated
the
huge
importance
of
keeping
our
local
environments
clean,
safe
and
welcoming
for
our
residents
and
before
I
go
to
talk
about
the
services
within
my
portfolio
and
indeed,
we've
already
mentioned
across
the
council.
I
also
like
to
take
the
opportunity
to
thank
those
who
actually
work
in
the
nhs,
the
care
sector,
the
the
the
public
of
the
public
and
private
transport
center
sectors
and
and
in
particular,
the
volunteers
and
the
gig
economy.
E
E
Mental
health
and
general
well-being
in
in
in
being
outdoors
and
connecting
with
nature
parks
and
green
spaces
are
being
open
since
the
start
of
restrictions
in
ports
as
a
result
of
quantum
virus
epidemic
and
the
gardening
staff
in
parts
and
countries
side
of
accounting
to
carry
out
horticultural
entrance
as
restrictions
continue
to
be
relaxed,
parks
and
parks
continue
to
be
local
focal
point
for
people
to
meet
and
to
increase,
enjoy
recreational
activities
on
there.
Our
forestry
team
have
continued
to
ensure
that
all
emergency
and
urgent
tree
works
are
dealt
with
promptly
and
effectively.
E
Environmental
services
team
have
played
a
huge
role
in
keeping
our
communities
clean.
Although
the
lockdown
is
easy.
Q
B
E
Yeah,
I'm
not
sure
how
that's
happened:
okay,
I'll
I'll
start
again,
since
they're
locked
down
look
layer
over
six
and
a
half
million
wheelie
bins
have
been
emptied
and
over
81
500
tons
of
waste
collected
by
our
dedicated
frontline
key
workers.
E
Over
7500
tons
of
waste
was
collected
citywide
in
the
first
week
in
june,
compared
to
4
500
tons
in
the
same
week
last
year.
These
are
truly
unpredictable
in
record
rating
figures,
possibly
even
nationally,
and
that's
time
when
these
key
workers
and
anxieties
and
family
concerns
to
deal
with.
And
may
the
council
become
real
household
ways
and
recycling
centers
and
within
three
weeks
all
eight
sites
were
open.
E
A
hundred
thousand
visit
was
recently
made
to
the
household
recycling
and
as
well,
a
decision
was
taken
to
reopened
using
our
bespoke
booking
system
to
help
manage
the
expected
cues
and
make
the
visits
safer
for
residents.
This
has
proved
exceptionally
successful
with
with
with
the
safeway
over
350
key
workers.
Staff
have
worked
throughout,
lockdown,
refuse
many
doing
extra
hours
and
working
in
the
most
challenging
of
conditions,
but
fortunately
we
have
not
had
one
worker
test
positive
for
covert
19..
E
The
council's
environmental
health
team
has
also
continued
to
operate
throughout
the
pandemic,
providing
key
services
in
relation
to
medical
and
health
protection.
The
team's
work
includes
our
a
lead
role
in
the
council
to
covet
outbreak
management
plan
working
with
businesses
and
workplaces
across
leads
to
prevent
and
control
outbreaks.
E
The
team
have
responded
to
around
500
requests
for
covered
related
advice
from
businesses
over
the
last
three
months.
All
my
environmental
health
workers
have
continued
to
provide
a
city-wide
range
of
strategy
services,
including
the
regulation
of
food
pregnancies,
pollution
control,
health
and
safety,
and
retail
and
language
sectors,
commercial
nuisance
and
uneven
health
and
welfare.
E
The
dog,
wardrooms
and
pest
control
services
have
constitutively
operated
throughout
the
period
and
have
dealt
with
increased
levels
of
requests
for
service
from
from
the
public,
while
the
cropping
may
have
stopped,
but
the
demands
on
our
key
workers
have
not
gone
away
or
even
slowed
down,
yet
not
only
do
they
deserve
our
thanks
for
the
massive
contribution
they
they've
have
made,
but
I
continue
to
support,
as
the
impact
of
the
pandemic
remains
a
significant
challenge
for
the
foreseeable
future.
E
M
Thank
you,
lord
mayor,
given
that
the
necessary
technology
is
now
available,
will
the
leading
council
guarantee
that
hybrid
meetings
of
the
executive
board
and
council,
with
some
members
attending
in
person
and
other
members
joining
virtually
will
be
put
in
place
the
september
cycle
and
that
licensing
subcommittee's
plans,
panels
and
scrutiny
boards
will
begin
hybrid
meetings
immediately.
C
Thank
you,
lord
mayor,
and
thank
you
councillor
carter.
After
start
of
this
meeting,
I've
never
been
so
pleased
to
get
to
a
question
from
you.
I
think
I
would
say
that,
as
we
saw
it's,
maybe
we're
not
as
far
ahead
as
we
think
we
are
with
the
technology
and
obviously
for
hybrid
meetings.
The
technology
is
crucial
because
we
still
need
to
include
people
who
are
either
shielding
or
isolated
or
or
or
aren't
keen
to
come
in
to
meetings.
I
know
we're
on
a
journey
on
this.
C
There's
been
a
few
bumps
on
way,
but
we're
getting
on
with
it.
There's
been
work
done
around
how
we
can
operate
rooms
in
the
civic
hall
and
I
believe,
the
it
equipment
being
surveyed
later
this
week.
What
I
would
say
is
we're
very
clear
that
we
want
to
bring
hybrid
meetings
in
as
soon
as
it's
practically
possible,
but
one
of
our
underlying
principles
again
is
that
we
don't
want
any
second-class
counselors,
so
everybody,
whether
they're
in
the
meeting
or
at
home,
shouldn't
be
excluded
from
that.
C
I
don't,
as
we've
seen
with
meetings
so
far,
the
technology
works.
Sometimes
we
want
it
to
work.
All
the
time,
and
we
and
we'll
be
happy
to
move
to
hybrid
meetings
once
we've
got
all
the
technology,
the
health
and
safety
and
all
the
other
assessments
like
equality
is
in
place.
Finally,
I
just
like
to
thank
the
staff
at
work
on
these
meetings.
C
I
understand
it
takes
three
times
as
many
staff
to
do
an
online
meeting
than
it
does
a
a
meeting
in
the
room
which
I
know
is
a
a
great
effort
from
the
staff
involved.
Thank
you,
lord
mayor.
M
Yes,
my
lord
mayor
council,
louis,
I
hope,
will
be
aware
of
the
latest
lga
advice
that
we
should
be
trying
to
set
up
hybrid
meetings,
and
that
was
guidance
of
the
fourth
of
july.
C
Yeah
completely
agree
councillor
carter.
As
you
may
be
aware,
we've
worked
with
whit,
so
every
party
has
been
involved
in
the
development
of
scrutiny.
Board
meetings,
exec
board
meetings,
this
meeting
and
we
will
continue
to
do
so-
don't
disagree
with
anything.
You
said.
B
Thank
you
councillor.
Louise.
We
have
run
out
of
time
for
questions,
so
our
members
that
didn't
have
the
chance
to
ask
the
question:
we'll
have
a
written
answer.
We'll
move
on
to
item
nine
executive
board,
counselor
blake.
B
C
Excellent,
I'm
afraid
you
probably
can
see
me
as
well:
apologies
for
the
unkempt
look,
but
yet
anyway,
onto
business,
I'm
very
proud
to
be
speaking
on
this
paper,
which
draws
together
all
the
work
elite
city
council
is
doing
to
address
and
tackle
disability
inequality.
C
This
is
something
I'm
really
passionate
about
and,
although
there's
still
a
long
way
to
go,
I'm
really
pleased
that
leeds
is
making
such
strides
towards
supporting
disabled
people
and
making
our
services
fully
accessible.
Leeds
is
a
fantastic
city
to
live,
but
we
need
to
ensure
it's
a
fantastic
city
for
everyone.
If
we
truly
want
to
be
the
best
city,
then
we
have
to
be
the
best
for
every
member
of
our
society.
C
It's
simply
not
enough
to
say
that
we
are
child
and
age
friendly
for
some,
but
not
all
barriers
to
equality
still
exist,
and
it
is
only
by
working
together
that
we
will
finally
be
able
to
knock
them
down
what
the
covered
pandemic
showed.
Us
was
just
how
supportive
local
communities
can
be.
We've
heard
some
of
that
from
other
members
today,
the
network
of
volunteers
both
existing
and
you
that
sprang
into
action
across
leeds
was
humbling
to
witness.
C
However,
I
must
reference
a
report
by
the
office
of
national
statistics
back
in
april,
which
found
that,
as
well
as
disabled
adults
be
more
likely
to
have
to
self-isolate
than
non-disabled
adults.
They
were
also
more
likely
to
report
spending
too
much
time
alone
and
feeding
feeling
lonely.
We
also
know
that
disabled
people
are
more
likely
to
be
affected
by
poverty,
something
that
has
been
exacerbated
by
kovid
19..
C
It's
become
clearer
than
ever
that
the
work
we
are
doing
to
address
inequality
is
absolutely
vital
from
access
to
jobs
and
training
courses
to
highways
works
and
work
with
taxes
to
ensure
accessibility
through
to
accessible
playgrounds
and
leisure
facilities.
There
is
so
much
we
can
do
and
are
doing
to
level
the
playing
field
and
make
leads
work
for
everybody.
C
We
are
committed
to
working
with
the
third
sector
charities
and
campaign
groups
to
ensure
their
voice
is
heard,
so
policies
and
developments
are
fully
inclusive
in-house.
So
to
speak,
I'm
delighted
and
I'll
highlight
the
facts
that
we
are
recognized
as
a
disability,
confident
employer
enabling
us
as
an
employer
to
make
the
most
of
the
talents
which
disabled
people
can
bring
to
the
workplace,
disability.
Confident
employers
are
recognized
as
going
the
extra
mile
to
make
sure
that
disabled
people
and
those
with
certain
health
conditions
get
a
fair
chance
when
applying
for
job
vacancies.
C
K
Thank
you,
lord.
I
was
thinking
on
two
minutes:
tackling
disabilities
and
the
expansion
of
leeds
west
academy
on
the
former.
The
paper
states
that
poverty
is
a
barrier
that
limits
what
people
can
do
and
be
the
implication
of
this
for
our
schools
and
our
children
is
absolutely
fundamental.
It
should
be
embedded
in
every
school's
equality
policy.
K
I'm
very
proud,
too,
that
leeds
west
has,
in
recent
years,
achieved
huge
improvements
in
attainment
and
progress,
breaking
all-time
records
for
the
school
and
its
predecessor
school
intake
high,
and
this
has
made
a
very
positive
impact
on
the
way
the
community
perceives
the
school
with
over
290.
First
choice:
applications
for
this
september.
It
is
now
one
of
the
most
over
subscribed
schools
in
the
city.
K
J
J
J
J
We
highly
rely
on
our
third
sector
partners
who
come
together
under
forum
central,
and
I
would
like
to
put
on
record
my
thanks
to
all
of
them.
The
culvert
19
has
really
demonstrated
just
how
much
we
as
a
city
need
our
volunteers
networks
and
how
and
just
how
valuable
their
work
is.
What's
a
massive
difference
it
makes.
J
Q
Q
I
would
extend
the
need
to
tackle
inequality,
however,
to
the
need
to
ensure
educational
equality,
including
the
ability
to
attend
a
local
school
young
people
deserve
the
option
to
attend
a
school
in
their
own
community
so
that
they
can
develop
a
network
of
friends
and
support
that
will
assist
them
as
they
develop
into
young
adults
in
south
leeds.
This
right
is
being
put
in
danger.
We
need
to
be
crystal
clear.
Why
we're
in
the
situation
that
we
are,
because
I'm
done
with
hearing
that
the
council
knew
for
ages
and
did
nothing.
Q
Q
Was
given
in
april
2017.,
a
paper
went
to
exec
board
in
september
2018,
clearly
stating
and
I'm
quoting
directly
from
the
report.
The
education
and
skills
funding
agency
is
now
tasked
with
the
delivery
of
this
new
school
and
provision
of
year,
seven
places
by
2020.
Q
It
could
not
be
clearer.
We
identified
the
need.
The
government
then
had
the
responsibility
of
building
the
school,
it's
fair
to
say
that
the
project
encountered
difficulties
and
we've
worked
alongside
the
dfe
and
the
map
to
find
a
way
through
these
difficulties
difficulties
not
of
our
making.
I
hate
to
add.
So
now
we
have
a
situation
whereby
children
in
south
leeds
are
without
the
school
that
three
years
ago
we
told
the
dv
dfe
we
needed.
Q
Someone
has
taken
their
eye
off
the
ball
here,
but
it
wasn't
the
council,
when
your
powers
to
build
and
open
new
schools
have
been
removed.
You
become
completely
reliant
on
those
who
claim
these
powers.
What
this
has
demonstrated
is
that
providing
school
places
on
time
for
children
in
south
leeds
is
not
a
priority
for
this
conservative
government.
Indeed,
it's
not
even
a
priority
for
our
local
conservatives,
who
have
gone
out
of
their
way
to
attempt
to
even
further
delay
the
provision
of
school
places
for
these
children.
Q
Last
week's
calling
was
a
disgrace
and
served
only
to
highlight
the
complete
inequity
of
the
government.
I
have
no
doubt
that,
had
this
been
a
school
in
a
conservative
health
work
ward,
they
would
have
insisted
we
move
heaven
and
earth
to
get
papers
passed
and
places
provided,
but
because
it
was
south
leeds
and
a
labour
ward,
they
decided
to
play
politics
with
the
education
of
children
to
use
my
teacher
voice,
I'm
really
disappointed.
P
F
I
was
pleased
to
read
the
report
discussed
in
march
on
what
the
council
is
doing
to
tackle
inequality
as
a
result
of
disability,
we're
making
good
progress
and,
as
chair
of
the
licensing
committee,
I'm
particularly
proud
that
50
of
our
carriage
fleets
made
up
of
accessible
vehicles
and
accessibility.
Training
is
provided
for
drivers,
and
I
was
pleased
to
read
about
the
work
on
education
for
children
with
special
educational
needs
and
disabilities,
as
well
as
recognition
that
there's
still
more
to
do
in
tackling
disability
inequality.
F
F
It's
welcome
news
that
benson
park
school
will
get
the
investment
it
needs
and
I'd
like
to
thank
councillor
prior
and
our
officers
for
working
their
hardest
to
find
the
funding
needed
to
do
this.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
councillor
cryer
for
his
recent
letter
to
the
secretary
of
state
for
education,
asking
for
funding
to
rebuild
two
further
schools
that
are
in
just
as
desperate
need.
F
Weatherby
and
roy's
high
schools
rides
is
a
school
which
number
of
children
in
my
world
attend
pupils
and
the
staff
are
just
frank,
deserve
a
high
quality
building
to
learn
and
teach
effectively
in
staff
like
kate,
davison
business
manager
at
royds,
who,
at
the
beginning
of
march,
reached
out
to
councillors
in
the
world
of
her
pupils
concerned
about
the
50
students
receiving
pupil
premium
funding
who
kate
and
the
school
staff
were
where
he
could
go
hungry.
Should
the
school
have
to
close
at
short
notice.
F
The
stafford
rides
clearly
care
about
the
students
and
both
deserve
a
quality
learning
environment.
For
the
past
two
years,
this
administration
has
been
right
into
government
raising
in
the
media
even
meeting
with
whitehall
officials
officials
last
year
to
ask
for
help
with
rebuilding
these
schools.
And
yet,
despite
reassuring
nods
and
rumors
of
understanding,
nothing
has
been
done.
The
extent
of
repairs
required
means
that
it's
not
cost-effective
to
carry
them
out.
F
A
billion
pounds
was
recently
announced
by
the
government
for
the
rebuild
of
50
schools
over
the
next
10
years,
but
the
pupils
of
weather
being
rides.
Don't
have
10
years,
they've
already
waited
far
too
long
at
a
time
where
schools
have
gone
above
and
beyond
when
it
comes
to
providing
education
in
exceptional
circumstances
and
showing
key
workers
at
the
childcare
needed
to
keep
them
running,
keep
the
country
running
and
vulnerable
children
were
safe.
I
have
to
ask
where's
the
government's
commitment
to
them.
We
found
the
funding
needed
for
benson
park.
F
B
R
Thank
you,
lord
mayor,
can
you
hear
me
I
can
yes.
Thank
you.
Lord
mayor,
I
was
assured
to
see
just
how
much
we
as
a
counselor
are
doing
to
promote
equal
equality
to
assess
all
to
acro
across
all
of
our
of
our
service.
This
is
much
in
important
area
and
one
which
can
also
tackle
through
education,
ensuring
all
children
are
taught
to
recognize
and
promote
increased
equality.
R
Allerton
grange
is
a
very
popular
school
in
my
world,
and
I
know
that
I
am
not
alone
in
welcoming
its
expansion.
Local
families
want
their
children
to
be
able
to
attend
a
local
school,
and
so
this
expansion
is
very
much
needed.
Ensuring
ensuring
there
are
enough
places
for
every
child
in
the
city
is
becoming
increasingly
difficult
and
has
been
hampered,
as
we
have
heard
by
the
fact
that
the
council
can
no
longer
build
or
open
new
schools,
our
hands
are
completely
tied.
R
We
either
rely
on
others
to
deliver
school
places
on
time
or
we
expand
existing
schools.
We
are
lucky
that
schools
in
leeds
in
most
cases,
are
happy
to
work
with
us
to
ensure
every
child
has
a
place.
We
have
seen
over
the
past
three
and
a
half
months,
just
how
vital
our
schools
are.
They
have
worked
tirelessly
to
make
sure
children
in
lees
have
received
an
education.
R
We
have
seen.
Schools
remain
open
for
vulnerable
children
and
the
children
of
key
workers,
and
we
have
seen
them
promote
online
education
for
thousands
of
others.
They
have
remained
open
during
the
school
holidays
to
provide
child
care,
enabling
key
workers
to
go
to
work
and
keep
the
country
running.
We
cannot
thank
them
enough
for
what
they
have
done.
R
B
S
Thank
you,
lord
mayor.
Thank
you.
If
I
may,
lord
man
I'd
like
to
begin
by
actually
agreeing
with
much
of
what
councillor
richie
and
his
very
fine
beard
said
at
the
head
of
this
piece.
He
flagged
up
the
lord
mayor,
the
importance
of
focusing
of
what
lead
on
what
lead
city
council
can
do
to
tackle
important
issues
and
much
of
what
he
said.
I
absolutely
agree
with
an
end
doors.
S
I
would
want
now
laura
to
focus
on
those
minutes
seeking
to
create
a
new
and
additional
school
places
here
in
the
city.
I
always
find
it
strange
when
labour
members
say
we
can't,
we
can't
open
new
schools.
Well,
that's
simply
not
the
case.
What
we
are
able
to
do
is
have
new
schools
where
we
identify
there
is
a
need
for
them,
but
we
have
to
bid
for
and
they
have
to
be
opened
as
academies,
and
I
know
the
administration
still
struggles
with
some
of
that.
S
That
is
a
mechanism
to
open
a
school
in
an
area
that
is
needed.
It
becomes
an
academy
and
contributes
to
our
dynamic
school
mixed
economy.
Equally,
notwithstanding
what
counselor
bethel
says,
one
could
believe
that
it's
only
labour
wards
that
struggle
with
school
places.
She
will
be
aware
that
north
leeds
has
traditionally
my
word
of
all.
Woodley
has
significant
issues
with
school
places,
both
in
primary
and
secondary
school.
S
The
primary
school
is,
is
easing
slowly
thanks
to
an
academy
that
we
have
here
now,
but
high
schools
are
and
continue
to
be,
a
challenge,
and
I
always
find
it
strange
that
one
of
the
best
schools
in
the
city
which
is
allerton
high
school,
isn't
allowed
to
expand,
even
though
it
has
sought
to
do
so.
S
It
never
seems
to
be
in
in
the
ward
of
all.
Woodley
never
seems
to
be
good
value
for
money,
though
I
see
there's
less
concerns
to
spend
that
kind
of
money
in
other
parts
of
the
city.
S
But
here
we
have
one
of
the
finest
schools
in
the
city
that
would
really
love
to
expand,
would
dearly
love
to
ensure
that
more
young
people
were
able
to
benefit
from
the
tremendous
education
it
provides,
and
yet
we
don't
seem
to
be
willing
to
assist
and
again
not
an
academy
one
of
our
own
schools.
We
don't
seem
to
be
willing
to
work
in
the
same
way
with
it
I'll
leave
it
there.
My
lord
mayor,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
J
Yet
this
new
free
school
only
provides
eight.
The
council
is
going
to
attempt
to
add
another.
Nine
forms
of
exit
of
entry
to
existing
schools
in
the
east.
Schools
are
already
struggling
both
in
terms
of
chairman
and
school
players
pressures,
and
I
there,
I
believe,
there's
no
plan
to
deal
with
a
shortage
of
sem
places
in
the
area
either.
J
This
means
the
administration
is
opting
to
use
large
sums
of
finite
basic
needs,
grant
funding
once
once
again.
You
therefore
think
that
the
administration
would
snap
the
hand
off
of
any
multi
academy,
trust
wanting
to
alleviate
that
pressure
on
council
budgets
by
instead
providing
one
new
free
school
to
deliver.
The
remaining
nine
forms
of
entry
that
the
council's
own
report
says
it
needs
in
his
summing
up.
J
And
finally,
lord
mayor,
referring
to
the
inner
east,
the
report
states
that
the
gradual
move
away
from
the
outer
northeast
schools
as
the
preferred
option
for
some
in
in
the
east
leeds
families
is
adding
further
pressure
to
the
need
for
school
places
in
this
area.
I'm
not
sure
the
administration
recognizes
the
impact
of
statements
such
as
these.
It
could
be
perceived
that
there
is
now
it
is
now
the
position
of
the
authority
to
proactively
reduce
the
numbers
on
role
at
weatherby
high
school.
J
If
this
is
the
intention,
then
I'm
sure
even
the
executive
member
himself
can
see
the
problem
of
tying
the
noose
with
one
hand,
while
removing
the
stool
with
the
other,
the
sagara
school
players.
Provision
is
one
that
has
long
dogged
leads.
It
would
be
wrong
to
put
all
the
blame
squarely
at
the
door
of
the
council,
as
the
issue
is
multi-faceted,
but
the
actions
or
lack
thereof
by
the
council
in
accelerating
these
pressures
and
it.
It
will
therefore
be
sensible,
surely
that
it's
time
to
consider
an
alternative
approach
to
sorting
out
this
mess.
K
Thank
you,
my
lord
mayor,
I'm
speaking
on
miniature
160
page
233.
Can
you
hear
me
I
can
right
about
the
rebuild
and
expansion
of
benton
park
school
in
my
ward,
lord
mayor.
This
is
a
very
welcome
news
for
our
area,
but
principally
for
the
parents,
pupils
and
teachers
and
everyone
associated
with
benton
park.
K
K
M
I'd
just
like
to
start
by
emphasizing
how
much
assistance
the
government
is
providing
for
the
rebuild
of
benton
park
out
of
the
28
million
pound
cost
the
debt
costs
of
nearly
19
million
pound
council
borrowing
will
be
funded
from
the
capital
maintenance
grant
in
future
years.
This
is
money
from
the
government.
Similarly,
5.4
million
will
come
from
the
basic
need.
Grant.
Funding
and
3.2
million
pound
will
come
from
the
current
capital
maintenance
grant
all
money
emanating
from
central
government,
specifically
on
covert
funding.
M
I
also
welcome
the
government
investment
of
a
billion
pound
in
a
catch-up
tutoring
fund
to
schools,
over
one-third
of
which
is
aimed
at
the
most
disadvantaged
children
and
it's
the
latter
group.
I
would
like
to
concentrate
most
on
today,
unfortunately,
there's
a
fundamental
weakness
between
the
arrangement
between
specialist
schools
and
main
screens
and
mainstream
schools,
in
the
sense
that
there
are
no
formal
agreements
in
place
to
protect
families
such
as
a
service
level
agreement.
M
This
is
where
children
who
are
on
education,
health
and
care
plans,
or
have
been
moved
to
to
schools
from
silks,
basically
have
an
unofficial
arrangement
with
with
mainstream
schools.
It's
an
absolute
godsend
to
the
parents
in
question,
and
particularly
children
with
with
with
the
most
profound
conditions.
M
Unfortunately,
a
failure
of
the
of
the
system
was
vividly
demonstrated
in
benton
park
that
when
denson
a
decision
was
taken
in
2018
to
close
the
post-16
sen
provision
from
september
this
year.
M
M
Parents
were
not
told
formally
about
the
closure
until
march
2019
and
the
consequences
of
that
decision
linger
on
to
this
day.
The
closure
decision
did
reveal
shortcomings
in
the
annual
reviews
of
education,
health
and
care
plans.
Unfortunately,
and
it
looks
very
much
as
if
timetables
have
been
ignored
and
the
questionable
quality
of
some
plans
left
a
lot
to
be
desired.
If
you're
talking
about
a
period
now
before
the
lockdown
actually
started,
the
2014
education
act
placed
children
at
the
heart
of
such
plans,
which
should
never
become
a
bureaucratic
chore.
M
The
closure
decision
caused
enormous
heartache
and
worry
for
the
burdens
affected
and
illustrated
the
need
for
form
arrangements.
The
closure
decision
was
a
matter
for
benton
park
alone
because
of
these
informal
arrangements
and
no
one
basically
officers,
parents,
children
or
elected
members
could
challenge
that
decision.
M
S
Out
of
the
meeting
again,
it
could
swap
him,
and
councillor
robinson,
would
be
hugely
appreciated,
while
we're
trying
to
get
him
back
home.
L
Thanks
lord
mayor,
I
I
wish
to
speak
to
minute
11
minute
12
from
the
existing
board
report
in
march
on
the
disability,
equality,
improvement,
work
and
the
great
jobs
agenda
on
the
disability
equality
report.
I
think
it's
a
very
welcome
report
and
I'm
very
pleased
to
see
that
the
council
is
leading
the
way.
I
think
the
council
has
a
great
opportunity
given
that
of
its
14
901
employees
or
people
working
for
the
council.
L
Six
percent
are
disabled,
that's
a
great
opportunity
to
be
a
best
practice
employer
for
the
rest
of
the
city
and
to
set
an
example
for
businesses
all
across
leeds
and
across
west
yorkshire.
I
should
add,
too
what
the
what
I'd
love
to
see
in
future
reports
are
examples
of
local
best
practices
that
are
taking
place.
For
example,
osmond
house
in
schools,
in
my
ward,
does
some
brilliant
work
with
skulls
community
care?
L
Similarly,
I
think
that
parks
and
countryside
have
done
a
lot
of
good
work
in
the
past,
and
I
know
in
my
own
ward
in
shadwell
we're
looking
at
revamping
the
playground
and
looking
at
equipment
that
will
be
suitable
for
those
with
a
disability.
I
think
it's
and
it's
that
sort
of
future
planning
that
allows
us
to
make
sure
that
everybody
feels
a
really
important
member
of
the
community
here
in
leeds
in
terms
of
the
great
jobs
agenda.
L
We
are
absolutely
going
to
need
that
to
happen
all
over
again
and
for
that
hard
work
to
take
place
again,
and
the
council
has
an
important
role:
working
with
the
chamber
of
commerce,
the
federation
of
small
businesses
and
others
to
not
just
talk
about
a
jobs
agenda,
but
to
talk
about
an
employment
landscape
and
a
growth
landscape
that
encourages
business
to
thrive
in
this
thrive
in
this
city.
I
know
one
quote
from
the
report
that
said:
work
provides
an
important
source
of
income
and
routine
for
people,
and
they
are
absolutely
right.
L
It
is
work
is
something
that
has
allowed
so
many
people
to
change
their
life
chances
to
have
opportunities
that
they
wouldn't
have
seen
before,
and
a
growing
economy
here
in
leeds
allows
us
to
have
diverse
businesses
opening
in
the
city
in
the
interests
of
diversity.
It
would
be
wrong
for
me
to
not
mention
the
sort
of
cancelled
culture
that
has
taken
place
over
the
last
few
years.
L
Finally,
I
would
note
that
the
in
this
report,
the
hr
officers,
have
done
a
sterling
job
over
the
last
few
months
and
continue
to
do
so
in
engaging
with
the
unions
and
engaging
with
employees
across
the
council
and
making
sure
that
we
represent
everybody's
views
and
ensure
that
they
have
a
voice
that
when
they
come
to
the
table.
Thank
you.
Lord
mayor.
Q
Thank
you,
my
lord
mayor
good
afternoon,
council
in
leeds.
We
believe
that
everyone
should
have
the
opportunity
to
access
their
economic
potential,
regardless
of
their
background.
Our
commitment
to
the
tucs
great
jobs
agenda
is
a
firm
basis
for
this
and
is
strongly
aligned
with
our
existing
commitments
to
inclusive
growth.
Q
Q
Q
Now,
more
than
ever,
it
is
essential
that
we
continue
to
ensure
that
our
long-term
plans
reduce
inequality
and
create
a
city
where
people
and
businesses
can
grow.
The
leeds
anchors
network
will
continue
to
play
a
significant
role
here.
The
network
and
its
wider
engagement
with
employers
in
leeds
is
offering
important
opportunities
to
unlock
transformational
change
and
outcomes
to
address
inequalities
in
our
city.
Q
Q
The
lead,
inclusive
anchors
network
now
comprises
11
organizations
based
in
the
city
with
over
57
000
employees,
one
in
seven
of
the
leads
workforce
and
an
annual
expenditure
in
excess
of
two
billion
pounds
per
year.
The
network
is
bringing
forward
opportunities
that
direct
more
of
their
spending
locally
through
procurement,
foster
healthy
workplaces
and
help
local
people
to
access
jobs
in
anchor
organizations.
Q
We
know
that
exactly
intervening
to
help
people
make
their
contribution
to
the
city
of
leeds
is
a
win-win
for
all
of
us.
Finally,
my
lord
mayor
and
going
forward,
we
will
continue
to
support
anchor
organizations
to
take
practical
steps
to
boost
their
contribution
to
inclusive
growth,
so
that
we
make
a
real
difference
to
local
employment
incomes
and
our
economy.
Thank
you,
lord
mayor.
Thank.
H
It's
striking
that
the
risk
of
poverty
is
higher
for
people
who
will
have
been
worst
hit
by
the
kobit
19
pandemic,
particularly
disabled
people,
and
black
asian
and
minority
minority
ethnic
people.
We
are
leading
by
example
in
our
commitment
to
pay
all
our
staff
at
least
a
real
living
wage
as
calculated
by
the
living
wage
foundation.
H
H
H
Since
2018
we've
been
aligned
with
the
tucs
great
jobs
agenda
and
I'm
pleased
to
say
working
closely
with
recognized
trade
unions,
we
care
about
public
services,
paying
more
means
better
recruitment
and
retention
of
staff.
At
a
time
when
public
sector
pay
has
been
badly
hit
nationwide,
we
are
through
our
inclusive
growth
strategy.
H
H
H
B
T
Thank
you,
lord
mayor.
While
endorsing
the
comments
of
councillor
richie
and
my
labour
colleagues
on
minute,
11
page
one,
two,
two
one,
I
want
to
concentrate
on
minute
ten
that
minute
relates
to
the
chronic
shortage
of
high
school
places
in
south
leeds
the
failure
of
the
government
to
progress
the
promised
new
lawrence
caliber
high
school
and
the
short-term
expedience
required
to
fill
that
gap.
T
Now,
as
a
born
masochist,
I
treated
myself
to
the
recent
calling
epic
stage
by
councillor
stevenson
on
this
issue.
From
a
southeast
perspective,
it
felt
like
an
alien
spaceship
had
landed
in
our
midst.
The
analogy
seems
fitting,
because
this
alien
visitor
spouted
lots
of
figures
without
reflecting
on
either
the
human
beings
or
the
detail
behind
the
figures,
and
it
reminded
me
that
when
the
french
people
were
short
of
bread,
marie
antoinette
reportedly
said
let
them
eat
cake.
T
T
Some
had
been
allocated
schools
as
far
away
as
seacroft
a
wonderful
place
with
equally
wonderful
counsellors,
but
not
exactly
on
their
doorstep,
and
they
raised
understandable
concerns
about
wanting
their
children
to
go
to
their
nearest
local
schools,
the
splitting
of
friendship
groups,
transition
arrangements,
family
and
support
dynamics,
transport
and
the
daunting.
The
really
daunting
appeals
process.
T
What
may
it's
now,
53
years
since
I
made
that
transition
from
primary
school
to
high
school,
and
I
still
remember
the
trauma-
a
qui,
a
quirk
in
local
government
boundaries
meant
that
I
went
to
a
different
school
to
that
of
my
friends
and
peers,
and
the
notion
of
friendship
groups
may
seem
alien
to
some.
But
it's
an
extremely
important
psychological
factor
for
young
people.
Making
the
transition
to
high
school
solo
admit.
T
I
would
say
that
if
the
tories
seek
any
credibility
on
education
issues,
they
really
need
to
have
a
chat
with
their
secretary
of
state
gavin
wills
at
williamson,
the
man
who
does
a
very
passable,
infra,
impression
of
frank
spencer
and
who
seems
to
run
his
department
in
a
very
similar
fashion.
P
Firstly,
the
assertion
that
basic
need
funding
was
misspent
or
is
being
misspent.
Basic
me
needs
funding
is
not
ring
fenced
and
although
this
administration
has
always
chosen
to
spend
it
on
the
provision
of
additional
school
places,
be
they
temporary
or
permanent,
while
cockburn
sorry
coburn
has
already
expanded
its
intake
over
its
buildings
capacity
going
by
the
dfe's
own
guidance.
The
money
is
being
spent
on
much
needed
additional
school
places.
P
In
this
decision
it
was
claimed
that
a
number
of
other
schools
could
have
helped
to
meet
the
need
for
these
places,
but,
unfortunately
not
that
we
could
expect
the
opposite.
Opposition
group
in
question
to
concern
themselves
with
this,
but
in
itself
and
outer
south
leeds
are
two
distinctly
different
places.
P
The
need
is
in
the
inner
south,
meaning
that
there
are
three
local
schools
who
could
have
helped
coburn
cobo
john
charles
and
ruth
goss,
which
is
a
free
school
that
the
dfe
built
at
a
cost
of
approximately
22
million
ruthbournes
were
asked
whether
they
could
take
the
additional
pupils,
but
they
refused
the
presentation
in
the
calling
repeatedly
referenced
a
missed
opportunity
at
royds,
but,
as
became
clear
in
the
discussion,
this
was
untrue.
P
Extensive
discussion
did
take
place
with
royds,
but
given
the
fact
that
they
were
under
an
academy
order
at
the
time
they
felt
they
couldn't
help,
and
it's
important
to
note
that
royd
is
a
trust
school.
We
do
not
own
the
land
which
the
school
sits
on
and
we
are
not
the
admitting
authority
for
that
school.
P
The
witnesses
that
were
introduced
to
give
evidence
at
the
calling,
while
they
spoke
very
clearly
on
what
their
field
was,
didn't,
actually
help
to
illustrate
anything
within
the
scope
of
the
calling.
The
person
who
spoke
from
ghost
matt
informed
the
board
about
the
maths
desire
to
open
a
free
school
in
the
east
of
the
city,
including
all
the
correspondents
with
the
council
on
this
matter.
The
ghost
map
said
that
they
could
take
additional
children.
P
They
could
not
take
children,
of
course,
to
the
south
of
the
city,
and,
while
the
other
witness
brought
some
important
points,
they
were
all
to
do
with
planning
conditions
and
would
be
relevant
for
the
relevant
plans
panel
to
discuss
following
a
planning
application,
but
not
about
school
place.
Provision
so
I'll.
P
Leave
it
there
log
mayor,
because
no
doubt
that
the
council
prior
will
expand
on
this
in
his
summing
up,
but
I'm
afraid
that
I'm
left
with
no
doubt
whatsoever
that
this
calling
was
nothing
more
than
political
mischief
making
by
their
group
simply
seeking
to
derail
and
distract
things
whatever
our
schools
and
our
teachers
and
our
children
achieve
it's.
P
N
Thank
you,
lord
mayor.
Sorry,
there's
a
huge
amount
of
speeches
there,
so
I'll
try
and
cover
everything
as
we
go
through.
First
of
all,
council
richie,
who
appears
to
be
shipwrecked
in
bramley.
It
spoke
really
well
about
the
the
disability.
Inequality
work
that
actually
council
richie's
been
being
really
crucial
to,
and
I
think
this
is
really
important
at
the
moment
when
we're
looking
at
kind
of
how
the
covert
crisis
has
affected
our
citizens
and
actually
how
it's
affected
people
with
disabilities
even
more.
N
This
is
a
really
key
piece
of
work
that
we
need
to
keep
on
top
of,
and
I
do
thank
councillor
ritchie
for
the
work
that
he's
done
across
the
board
on
disability.
I'm
sure
he's
looking
forward
to
getting
back
to
the
access
and
usability
group
and
making
sure
that
all
the
developments
in
the
city
are
inclusive.
N
I
know
that
tackling
property
was
something
that
councillor
rena
was
going
to
speak
about
today,
but
I
think
we
ran
out
of
time
for
that.
One
and
council
green
spoke
really
well
about
the
work
that's
happening
at
leeds
west
academy
and
how
popular
that
school
is
now
and
how
that
was
the
right
decision
to
expand
that
school.
N
I
do
have
another
white
rose,
trust
school
in
my
own
ward
and
actually
I've
seen
firsthand
the
journey
that
school's
been
on
and
how
much
families
have
responded
to
some
of
that
work
and
how
popular
that
school
has
become,
and
so
pay
credit
to.
The
work
council
groom's
doing
to
to
link
between
the
council
and
the
school
councillor
khan
spoke
again
about
spoke
also
spoke
about
disability
inequality
from
a
from
an
adult
social
care
perspective,
and
I
think
council
khan
has
done
a
great
job
in.
N
I
don't
know
if
anyone,
I
think
a
few
councils
have
been
to
these
meetings,
where
people
with
a
number
of
learning
disabilities
come
into
the
council
chamber
and
take
part
in
our
democracy
and
that's
so
important
to
make
what
we
do
as
a
council
accessible
to.
As
many
people
in
our
city
as
possible
and
council
khan
does
a
fantastic
job,
there,
council
khan
also
highlighted
the
impact
of
mental
health,
and
I
think
that's
something
in
particular.
N
We're
going
to
have
to
look
at
over
the
next
well
just
going
forward
from
now
due
to
the
number
of
people
who
are
going
to
have
their
own
mental
health
affected
and
throughout
lockdown
throughout
the
pandemic,
and
the
consequences
that
come
with
that
councillor,
bissell
moved
on
to
educational
equality
and
particularly
talking
about
the
the
need
to
access
schools
in
in
people's
own
locality.
N
She
spoke
about
the
lawrence
calvert
school,
which,
as
councillor
bethel
correctly
says,
was
confirmed
with
the
dfe
in
2017
to
open
in
2020
with
the
esfa
tasked
with
the
provision
of
this,
and
that
has
just
not
happened
and
the
problems
we
have
seen
all
stem
from
that
not
happening,
and
this
you
know
this
highlights
exactly
the
issue
with
some
of
the
fragmentation
of
our
education
system
that
I
know,
council
trusts
trustworld
was
talking
about,
but,
and
it
actually
just
demonstrates
that
providing
school
places
is
simply
not
a
priority
for
this
government
and
they
leave
us
as
councils
to
pick
up
the
pieces,
which
is
an
incredibly
difficult
task
to
do
when
we
are
ready
and
telling
the
government
years
in
advance.
N
Council.
Ghana
spoke
about
the
education
for
children
with
send,
and
again
it's
important
to
note.
I've
spoken
about
this
in
council
many
times
before.
Some
of
the
cuts
to
the
high
needs
block
we've
seen
the
millions
tens
of
millions,
millions
of
pounds
cut
from
children
with
disabilities
who
live
in
leeds,
and
it
just
is
a
horrific
example
of
how
austerity
it
just
damages
the
most
vulnerable
in
society.
The
most
and
the
cuts
are
they're
callous,
there's
there's
no
other
word
for
it.
N
Councillor
garden
spoke
about
benton
park
and
and
how
we've
managed
to
pull
together
a
number
of
pots
of
money
to
fund
that
and
how
roids
and
weatherby
deserve
the
same
treatment.
They
deserve
a
quality
building
to
match
the
quality
of
education.
That's
going
on
inside
and
after
having
spoken
to
the
government
for
years
about
this
telling
them
how
desperately
we
need
this
funding.
N
The
government
are
just
ignoring
us.
The
government
are
just
ignoring
us
simply
put
they've
announced
some
new
money,
but
it's
not
way
near
enough
at
all
with
no
guarantees
that
whether
it
be
androids
are
included
in
that,
and
we
will
continue
to
lobby
the
government
to
ensure
that
weatherby
androids
are
both
included
in
that
government
funding.
Councillor
wenin
talked
about
promoting
equality
in
school
and
spoke
about
the
work
that
elton
grange
is
doing.
N
Obviously,
she
spoke
about
how
it's
best
if
children
attend
a
local
school
and
touched
upon
how
councils
can't
open
their
own
schools
anymore,
which
is
a
really
important
point
that
that
was
a
power
which
was
stripped
from
councils
councils?
Cannot
open
their
own
schools,
which
council
cohen,
went
on
to
talk
about
and
said
absolutely
we
can
open
up
new
schools
and
I
can't
remember
exactly
what
he
said,
but
he
said
something
like
we
can
have
new
schools
where
we
identify
need.
N
B
G
Commence.
Thank
you
lord
mayor.
Obviously
we
don't.
We
don't
have
enough
time
to
go
through
some
of
the
other
really
important
minutes
that
we've
discussed
over
the
last
three
months,
but
actually,
I
think
it's.
I
think
it's
good
good
chance
that
this
portfolio
actually
came
up
under
scrutiny
for
the
minutes
today.
G
I
can't
think
of
any
more
important
issue
that
we
need
to
address
coming
out
of
lockdown
than
the
addressing
the
opportunities
and
the
all
of
the
issues
that
have
been
raised
today
for
all
of
our
young
people
and
thank
you
for
all
the
the
comments
that
were
made,
particularly
around
the
paper
on
on
disabilities
and
also
the
good
jobs
paper.
G
G
I
don't
think
any
of
us
unless
we've
been
directly
involved,
really
fully
understand,
just
how
stressful
and
difficult
it
has
been
for
school
leaders
for
staff
for
all
staff,
not
just
teaching
staff,
but
all
staff
who
have
a
responsibility
for
the
well-being
of
our
children
and,
as
councilor
prior
said,
we
set
up
zoom
meetings
with
all
of
our
heads
being
invited
to
join
very
early
on
just
really
to
touch
base
to
make
sure
that
they
were
all
in
contact
with
each
other
and
really
to
work
with
them,
so
that
we
understood
all
of
the
very
different
challenges
that
were
facing
them.
G
Obviously,
our
school
estate,
as
we've
been
hearing
today
in
the
terms
of
the
need
for
rebuilding
and
developing
and
expanding,
have
very
different
needs
it.
It
isn't.
One
size
fits
all,
even
in
our
own
local
authority,
never
mind
across
the
the
country,
and
I
really
have
enormous
sympathy
with
what
they've
been
having
to
deal
with.
G
If
you
remember
right
from
the
start,
there
was
very
little
clarity
coming
out
of
government
in
terms
of
whether
schools
would
have
to
close
or
not
and
and
then
you
you
say
you
get,
then
the
government
starts
off
the
rumors
and
then
gets
the
conversation
going.
Then
a
minister
would
pop
up
on
television
in
the
the
five
o'clock
briefing
slots
and
announce
policy,
and
then
there
would
be
an
incredible
scramble
trying
to
get
guidance
to
understand
what
was
being
intended.
G
I
have
to
tell
everyone:
this
has
led
to
incredible
anxiety
amongst
our
teachers
and
teaching
professions
and
anyone
connected
with
young
people,
and
I
think
that
is
unforgivable,
given
the
extraordinary
job
they
had
to
do
in
terms
of
setting
up
remote
learning,
setting
up
the
safe
arrival
in
school
of
key
worker
children
and
dealing
actually
with
the
fact
that
too
many
parents
of
our
most
vulnerable
children
chose
not
to
send
their
children
into
school,
but
that
didn't
mean
that
teachers
didn't
continue
and
haven't
come.
G
You
know
they
have
continued
to
support
them
through
contacting
by
phone
by
you
know,
inviting
them
to
come
into
school,
giving
work
online,
but
also
recognizing
that
too
many
of
our
most
vulnerable
children
don't
have
access
to
the
it
that
they
needed
to
participate.
G
And
it's
it's
really
disappointing
to
have
to
note
that
too
many
of
those
pupils
still
have
not
received
the
equipment
or
the
connection
to
broadband
that
they
were
promised
right
at
the
start.
G
So
we
we're
very
conscious
that
all
teachers
have
taken
their
responsibilities
seriously,
but
what,
in
terms
of
numbers
of
young
people
returning,
what
the
government
has
seems
to
have
failed
to
take
on
board
is
the
way
that
they've
dealt
with
sharing
communication
issuing
guidance,
then
changing
the
guidance.
G
The
lack
of
clarity
has
led
to
a
massive
loss
of
confidence
amongst
parents
and
unless
they
really
do
address
that
issue,
then
we're
going
to
continue
to
struggle
as
we
go
forward.
G
Many
young
people
are
going
to
require
a
massive
additional
support
when
they
do
come
back
in
and
that
whole
area
of
well-being
has
to
be
at
the
forefront
of
the
work
we
do
and
we
must
work
with
ofsted
and
the
government.
So
we
don't
get
into
a
situation
where
schools
are
judged
on
very
narrow
performance
statistics,
which
can
be
a
real
detriment.
G
Whilst
we
know
that
actually
our
young
people
need
so
much
input
in
terms
of
regaining
their
confidence,
their
ability
to
learn
their
readiness
to
learn
and
all
of
the
the
work
you
know,
the
mental
health
issues
that
we're
seeing
now
coming
forward
amongst
our
young
people
should
trouble
us
all,
and
we
all
have
to
really
focus
on
how
we
we
make
amends
on
that.
So
thank
you
for
all
of
the
contributions,
and
particularly
around
the
scrutiny
inquiry.
G
Really,
I
think,
identifying
the
the
problems
in
terms
of
the
numbers
in
at
the
moment
in
that
part
of
the
city.
But
of
course,
as
as
everyone
has
said,
problems
that
affect
us
all
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
actually,
a
local
government
association
level
working
with
councils
across
the
country
cross
party,
all
the
leaders
of
children's
services,
education
services-
are
arguing
that
the
powers
should
be
returned
to
local
authorities
so
that
we
have
full
control
over
the
planning
of
school
places
in
our
areas.
G
And
it
really
disappoints
me
that
it
seems
that
the
conservative
group
on
this
council
aren't
supporting
their
peers
around
the
country,
and
I
really
think
that
they
should
look
very
carefully
at
themselves
in
the
criticisms
that
they've
given
to
us.
We
want
to
take
responsibility
for
that.
I
just
want
to
specifically
mention
the
situation
around
coburn
and
lawrence
calvert,
because
what
we
know
is
that
the
the
school
is
anticipated
to
be
built,
but
there
seems
to
be
a
question
mark
now
because
of
further
delays
about
when
it
will
actually
open.
G
Can
we
make
sure
that
we
get
the
firm
commitment
from
the
dfe
that
we
can
open
a
temporary
allocation
for
the
school
so
open
it
temporarily
on
a
different
site
so
that
next
year,
all
of
the
year
year,
sevens
that
are
eligible
to
go?
G
There
will
have
that
provision,
and
sadly
it
looks
as
though
that
might
have
to
be
for
two
years,
but
for
goodness
sake,
let's
all
of
us
pull
together
and
make
sure
that
we're
not
in
the
same
position
as
we've
been
in
this
year
next
year
and
the
it
really
is.
Not.
It
really
is
unforgivable
that
families
should
be
put
through
this,
this
level
of
of
pressure
going
forward
in
what
is
a
completely
avoidable
situation.
G
After
all,
it's
exactly
what
we
did
with
them,
with
ruth
course,
which
we
we
actually
helped
them
help
through
ruth
gorse
to
get
the
site
where
the
school
is.
If
everyone
recalls
that
there
was
quite
a
lot
of
debate
about
where
the
school
should
actually
go,
and
we
acted
with
them
to
make
sure
they
got
that
location
and
they
were
unable
to
open
on
a
temporary
provision
at
morley
high
school.
