A
A
I
would
like
to
invite
tom
rayden
to
give
a
brief
update
on
the
corvette
positions.
A
B
Morning,
lord
man
morning,
everybody
thank
you
for
just
this
very
brief
start
on
the
agenda.
I
thought
it
would
be
useful
with
our
members
present
to
give
a
quick
update.
Our
work
continues
very
intensively
as
you
get,
as
you
know,
through
your
regular
updates.
B
The
case
rate
in
leeds
is
rising
and
we
are
what
you
might
call
bubbling
under
the
national
watch
list,
so
our
our
rates
are
now
up
to
a
three
percent
positivity,
which
is
three
in
every
100.
People
who
are
tested
are
positive.
B
B
What
that
means
is
that
we
are
on
the
the
radar
I
think,
of
national
the
national
gold
meeting,
but
when
we're
not
yet
at
a
at
a
stage
where
we
are
likely
to
require
movement
restrictions
in
our
view,
as
our
neighbouring
councils
have
had
to
do
over
the
last
month,
or
so,
there
has
been
an
outbreak
in
a
greg's
distribution
center
that
you
may
be
aware
of
in
the
west
of
the
city,
which
has
been
dealt
with
very
effectively.
B
And
although
members
of
staff
have
tested
positive,
a
very
large
number
of
drivers
have
been
have
been
tested
and
and
hardly
any
if,
in
fact,
I
think,
I'm
right
and
saying
none
of
them
have
tested
positive,
which
is
good
news.
The
the
spread
that
we're
seeing
across
the
city
is
with
a
is
is
more,
is
more
across
most
wards
now
at
lower
levels.
So
it
isn't
like
the
bradford
kirkley
situation,
where
it's
concentrated
in
particular
wards
in
particular
communities.
B
If
anything,
it's
the
younger
demographic
across
all
ethnicities
that
have
been
affected,
and
so
we
are
working
very
actively,
as
you'll
have
seen
with
the
police
this
weekend
on
avoiding
raves
and
unlicensed
events
and
working
very
very
intensively
with
our
licensing
team
and
our
enforcement
team.
So
that's
that's
all
to
update
we're
on
the
case.
B
We'll
keep
you
updated
if
anything,
changes
with
the
national
position,
you'll
be
the
first
to
know
and
we'll
make
sure
we
do
an
all-member
call
in
contact
with
with
the
leader
and
group
leaders
as
you'll
be
aware
and
as
I
say,
rates
are
rising,
but
not
at
a
stage
where
we
should
be
alarmed
yet,
but
we
all
need
to
keep
on
top
of
it.
Thank
you
a
lot
there.
A
C
Thank
you,
lord
mayor,
and
thank
you
to
all
members
of
council
for
joining
us
in
this
really
important
debate
this
morning.
As
many
of
you
are
aware,
this
is
the
culmination
of
many
years
of
work
from
many
people,
bringing
together
a
proposal
that
you
know
we
can
have
devolution
of
more
powers
and
access
to
resources
coming
down
to
a
local
level
and,
of
course,
this.
The
the
process
that
we're
going
through
harold's.
C
Moment
for
us
in
terms
of
the
transport
transfer
of
powers
and
funding
down
from
whitehall,
and
of
course
I,
the
the
appropriate
safeguards
and
future
proofing
for
the
council
is
very
important
elements,
and
your
contribution
in
that
regard
has
has
been
very
important.
C
It's
quite
extraordinary,
reflecting
back
that
we
actually
signed
the
deal.
I
think
it's
the
11th
of
march
and
of
course,
you
know,
you
know
we
went
into
full
lockdown
on
the
23rd
of
march,
so
I
think
we
were
very
fortunate
in
managing
to
actually
get
the
deal
signed
and
over
the
line
before
the
lockdown
started,
and
that
has
enabled
us
to
move
forward
with
the
timetable
as
originally
proposed.
C
So
of
course,
we
haven't
been
able
to
do
the
consultation
in
the
normal
way
that
we
would
have
done.
C
You
know
we
would
have
anticipated
face-to-face
meetings
across
the
board
with
all
of
our
partners,
who
have
been
very
much
involved
in
in
moving
this
forward,
but
I'm
very
pleased
to
tell
you
that,
in
spite
of
the
restrictions
that
we've
all
been
under,
the
west,
yorkshire
consultation
has
achieved
the
the
highest
number
of
responses
of
any
of
the
consultations
that
have
previously
taken
place
and
whilst
many
of
them
have
been
online,
we've
also
been
able
to
undertake
consultation
with
people
who
would
have
been
felt
digitally
excluded
by
sending
out
direct
mail
shots
to
households
as
well.
C
So
I
think
we
are
owe
a
debt
of
gratitude
to
everyone
who
has
helped
to
support
the
consultation
process,
and
I
want
to
just
pay
tribute
to
everyone
on
the
council
who
has
played
their
part
and,
not
least
through
the
different
scrutiny
meetings
both
across
leeds,
but
also
at
a
west
yorkshire
level
as
well.
C
So
this
is
part
of
the
process
that
we
are
required
to
go
through
by
government
responding
to
the
consultation,
the
issues
that
have
been
raised,
and
then
we
will
take
this
later
today
to
our
executive
board,
where
the
the
deliberations
of
today
will
be
considered
and
then
over,
hopefully
for
sign
offs
and
submitted
into
the
government
process,
along
with
similar
processes
from
the
rest
of
the
west
yorkshire
district.
C
So
so
many
areas
have
been
considered
and
the
opportunities
in
moving
forward
into
economic
recovery
results
of
the
covet
outbreak
are
could
not
be
more
important.
So
all
of
the
work
around
skills
infrastructure
transport,
all
of
those
areas
that
we
will
be
reflecting
on
and
because
of
the
in-depth
discussions
we
had
with
government.
I'm
also
pleased
to
acknowledge
that
we've
got
the
largest
gain
share
of
any
area
in
the
country,
38
million
pounds
a
year
over
a
30-year
period.
C
So
I
think
we
all
recognize
the
centralized
model
of
government
governance
that
we
have
in
this
country
is
become
out
of
date,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
contribute
to
reset
the
model
of
governance
and
it's
absolutely
crucial
that
we
still
maintain
our
own
powers
locally
and
draw
as
we
draw
down
more
powers
from
the
center.
C
I'm
conscious
that
the
clock
is
ticking.
Lord
mayor,
I
just
would
like
to
say
in
in
moving
their
report
that
we
are
prepared
to
accept
the
amendment
that
has
been
put
forward
by
the
conservative
group
and
very
pleased
always
to
have
local
scrutiny
over
planning
and
spatial
strategy.
So
with
that,
lord
mayor,
I
think
my
five
minutes
is
is
up
so
I'm
very
pleased
to
open
the
debate
on
this
very
important
matter.
Thank
you,
lord
mayor.
Thank
you.
E
E
This
has
been
a
long
road
to
get
to
the
point
we're
at
today,
and
there
is
no
doubt
that
there
is
a
lot
about
that
evolution
deal,
which
is
to
be
welcomed,
not
least
the
point
that
we
have
the
greatest
gain
share
of
any
devolved
authority.
So
far
at
38
million,
as
well
as
all
the
other
powers
that
go
with
it
and
evolution
is
long
overdue.
It's
well
known
that
this
isn't
my
ideal
solution
deal.
E
I
would
have
much
preferred
a
city
region
deal
and
continue
to
believe
that
that
would
have
been
the
best
for
leads.
However,
the
deal
we've
got
is
probably,
or
at
this
stage
we
can
get,
and
I
have
to
say
I'm
I'm
grateful
to
the
minister
simon
clark
and
to
the
chancellor
rishi
sunak
for
engaging
much
more
fully
than
had
been
the
case
previously
with
the
conservative
group
on
this
council.
E
Everyone's
worked
extremely
hard
to
get
the
deal
to
to
where
it
is,
but
we
do
have
concerns
and
they
are
significant
and
I'll
I'll
go
through
them
fairly.
Briefly
and
other
colleagues
will
pick
up
more
detail
as
we
go
on.
In
view
of
the
fact
that
the
amendment
been
accepted,
we
shall
now
vote
in
favor
of
the
proposition.
E
Peter
harrington
will
be
talking
about
scrutiny,
which
is
an
area
which
concerns
us
extremely
seriously,
as
it
should
all
members
of
the
council.
E
There,
of
course,
could
still
be
changes
to
what
the
final
deal
is,
and
we
will
all
need,
therefore,
to
be
consulted
and
give
our
final
consent,
and
we
want
to
see-
and
this
is
the
reason
why
we
tabled
the
amendment-
we
want
to
see
the
final
granular
detail
about
what
we
are
being
asked
to
agree
to,
and
I
would
strongly
suggest
that
that
is
a
view
that
should
be
taken
by
members
of
all
parties
on
the
consultation
process.
E
I
have
to
disagree
with
councillor
blake
and,
whilst
I
do
congratulate
and
thank
officers
for
the
effort
they've
put
in
for
west
yorkshire
to
say
that
4
000
responses
out
of
the
population
of
over
2
million
is
a
resounding
success,
stretches
credibility
to
its
absolute
limits
and
to
say
it's.
The
best
consultation
of
any
of
the
developed
authorities
merely
means
that
we
are
higher
up
the
sliding
scale
of
failure
than
they
are
now.
E
I
accept
that
we
have
consulted
in
a
very
difficult
time
and
that
therefore
was
forced
to
affect
the
the
result,
but
I
think
the
message
is
very
clear:
the
general
public,
for
whatever
reason
are
not
sure-
and
it
is
therefore
I
think,
beholden
upon
all
of
us
to
remember
that
that
is
the
case.
There
has
been
no
ringing
endorsement
for
this
deal.
E
F
Thank
you,
lord
mayor.
The
conservative
amendment
to
the
white
paper
has
been
proposed
in
order
to
try
and
give
council
more
control
in
the
future.
The
people
of
leeds
voted
against.
Having
a
mayor
during
the
referendum
in
2012.,
it
seems
ironic
that
the
government
now
wishes
us
to
take
more
powers
and
responsibilities,
but
are
trying
out
tying
our
hands
when
it
comes
to
this
issue.
F
The
local
people
of
our
city
must
continue
to
have
a
say
regarding
the
city's
development
and
future
a
mayoral
spatial
strategy
could
potentially
be
the
opposite
of
what
many
residents
would
support
by
asking
for
a
firm,
firm
veto.
Leeds
could
potentially
seek
to
rule
itself
out
of
this
process.
At
the
start,
rather
than
just
being
presented
with
a
document
to
ratify,
the
world,
has
had
many
solitary
leaders,
kings,
queens,
caesars
viewers,
some
have
been
benevolent
and
have
always
put
the
people
they
lured
over
first
or
at
least
high
on
their
agenda.
F
F
G
Thank
you,
lord
mayor.
First
of
all,
can
I
please
address
myself
to
the
conservative
amendment
I
am
used
to
as
a
liberal
democrat
being
accused
of
trying
to
face
both
ways
on
an
argument
and
seeing
the
conservatives
really
get
themselves
tangled
up
over
the
issue
of
this
devolution
deal
and
the
installation
of
an
elected
mayor
is
amazing.
To
tell
you
the
truth.
Councillor
carter
and
his
amendment
is
tilting
up.
G
Windmills
like
don
quixote
of
carvalho,
because
the
spatial
powers
he's
hoping
to
keeping
leads,
there's
already
a
veto
there
in
the
deal
in
all
respects,
except
the
actual
word,
and
that's
why
it's
been
so
easy
for
the
administration
to
actually
accept
it.
His
fear
of
an
elected
mayor
which
has
been
mashed
by
councillor
collins.
G
It's
amazing
because
it's
the
conservatives
that
have
insisted
on
having
this
singular
leadership
as
the
key
asset
as
part
of
any
devolution
deal
that
they
will
give
to
local
authorities
and
rather
than
it
being
the
mayor,
who
is
the
biggest
threat
to
this
city
and
other
local
authorities
being
able
to
plan
their
housing
targets
and
their
spatial
strategy.
The
bigger
threat
comes
from
their
own
government
and
their
secretary
of
street
state
three
homes.
Generic
who
is
hoping
to
take
the
powers
away
from
local
authorities
completely
never
mind
from
a
particular
elected
man.
G
So
let's
just
put
that
one
on
the
head
in
terms
of
the
devolution
deal
here.
Lord
mayor,
this
is,
as
councillor
carter
said,
the
only
deal
that's
available
and
that's
why
we
should
take
it.
The
fact
is,
it's
not
a
great
deal.
What
we
really
wanted
was
a
one
yorkshire
devolution
deal
and
it's
down
to
the
failure
of
leadership
of,
but
the
two
big
main
parties
in
yorkshire
that
that's
not
what
we've
got
on
the
table,
that
we've
got
a
deal
in
west
yorkshire,
which
has
been
struck,
which
has
very
limited
powers.
G
All
of
the
powers
that
we
do
have
are
not
ours.
By
right.
There
has
not
been
some
great
constitutional
settlement,
which
agrees
that
people
by
right
should
be
able
to
make
decisions
more
locally.
It
is
the
powers
that
have
been
given
to
us
by
the
central
government
and
can
be
taken
back
just
as
easily
and
that's
why
we've
got
to
make
sure
that
the
powers
that
we
have
got
are
administered
properly,
and
this
is
one
of
the
greatest
dangers
of
the
devolution
deal.
G
G
The
current
experience
is
not
playing
out
because
what
is
coming
forward
to
the
next
combined
authority,
for
instance,
is
a
bunch
of
decisions
that
were
all
prepared
before
covert
even
happened
and
actually
don't
respond
to
the
needs
that
we
have
locally
to
try
and
ensure
that
we
have
an
effective
west
yorkshire
localized
economic
strategy
to
bring
us
out
of
the
recession
that
is
going
to
hit
us
very
hard.
Very
soon.
I'm
afraid
the
elected
mayor
is
a
paper
tiger
in
the
way
that
the
deal
has
been
written
so
far.
G
But
if
we
want
to
actually
get
the
full
potential
out
of
that
deal,
we
must
make
sure
that
the
people
are
involved
as
well,
and
so
that
means
that
we
have
a
responsibility
as
decision
makers
to
take
decisions
with
those
people
and
council.
Akata
was
right
about
the
consultation.
It
is
a
failure
that
4
000
people
out
of
2
million
actually
participated
in
our
consultation.
G
Let's
make
this
popular,
let's
decide
to
make
decisions
in
a
different
way.
Let's
make
devolution
meaningful
and
not
just
a
conversation
between
a
bunch
of
civil
servants
in
west
yorkshire
and
a
bunch
of
civil
servants
in
westminster
and
having
some
politicians
endorse
it
with
a
rubber
stamp
at
the
end
of
it,
but
actually
leaving
the
people
out
of
it
completely.
D
Devolution
is
the
first
step
in
returning
sun
power
and
decision
making
down
to
a
local
level.
It
is
by
no
means
the
final
step,
and
if
we
are
serious
about
democratizing
the
decision-making
process,
then
more
decisions
need
to
be
taken
at
a
more
local
level
and
for
there
to
be
a
broader
political
body
representing
more
clearly
the
views
of
varying
and
diverse
communities
rather
than
a
one-size-fits-all
or
a
kind
of
take
it
or
leave
it.
D
That
means
not
the
lib
dems,
the
combined
vote
of
both
the
labour
and
tory
party
in
most
local
elections
across
west
yorkshire
amounts
to
around
about
66
percent
or
two-thirds
of
those
voting.
This
means
in
next
year's
metro
mayor
elections
around
one
voter
in
three
is
likely
to
be
disenfranchised
in
terms
of
their
vote.
Counting.
D
We've
been
clearing
the
consultation
process,
along
with
our
green
and
independent
colleagues
across
west
yorkshire,
that
the
decision-making
body
needs
to
accommodate
those
political
voices,
reject
the
three
major
parties
or
two
major
passes
and
lib
dems.
If
we're
being
honest
that
almost
20
of
voters
should
have
their
views
reflected.
D
This
already
happens
at
the
lga,
where
both
the
indies
and
greens
are
allocated
a
joint
place
in
any
decision-making
body.
This
is
fair
and
a
reasonable
way
to
operate
within
the
lga.
Then
we
believe
the
new
decision-making
body
overseeing
this
decision-making
process
needs
to
adopt
a
similar
approach,
which
is
richer,
more
diverse
and
more
representative
of
what
west
yorkshire
residents
think
by
including
the
indies
and
the
greens.
D
The
evolution
is
a
fine
process
supported
by
all,
but
if
it
is
to
mean
anything
worthy
of
such
a
no
blame,
it
must
encapsulate
all
political
voices
across
a
political
spectrum
and
not
be
dominated
by
one
political
grouping
talking
to
itself
at
the
exclusion
of
others,
all
votes
that
should
matter
not
just
those
of
the
dominant
political
groups.
Diversity
is
a
strength,
lord
mayor,
not
a
weakness.
H
Thank
you,
lord
mayor,
good
morning,
everybody
I'm
talking
about
the
don
quixote
analogy.
H
I
think
I
found
myself
more
a
little
bit
like
sunshine
panzer,
these
days,
sort
of
offering
a
commentary
on
what
we
see
from
our
group's
perspective
in
in
a
sort
of
slightly
tuning
cheek,
sometimes,
but
hopefully
an
informative
way,
and
I
don't
actually
think
that
counselor
carter
has
been
chaotic
in
this
regard,
because
personally,
our
and
our
group
believe
that
the
number
of
checks
and
balances
and
safeguardings
that
can
be
added
to
any
deal
around
the
spatial
strategy
and
protecting
our
rights
to
dictate
our
own
planning
policy
are
vital
and
I
think,
if
you've
been
in
an
area
like
garth,
that
has
been
in
the
eye
of
that
particular
storm
before
you
will
understand
the
reason
that
any
added
safeguards
must
be
embraced.
H
And
that's
why,
with
the
amendment
that's
been
accepted
this
morning,
our
group
will
be
supporting
the
motion.
Council
of
finnegan
has
made
a
lot
of
the
points
that
we
intended
to
make
around
the
democratic
deficit.
So
we
will
not
revisit
those
this
morning
other
to
other
than
to
say.
The
point
has
been
well
made
and
we
hope
that
is
an
argument
that
can
be
progressed
going
forward.
H
We've
spoke
this
morning
around
the
consultation
and
the
success
really.
Okay,
four
thousand
people.
I
wouldn't
really
call
it
success
and
I
think
we
all
need
to
bear
in
mind
when
we
are
moving
this
piece
of
business
forward
this
morning
that
the
biggest
consultation,
if
you
like,
was
a
no
vote
in
2012.
H
H
So,
to
echo
what
council
carter
said
earlier,
this
is
a
step
forward
today,
but
it
does
not
mean
that
this
deal
will
be
fully
embraced
by
our
party
going
forward
at
the
final
stage,
because-
and
I
think
this
point
has
been
well
made
this
morning-
it's
not
only
the
government
response
to
what's
said
it's
actually
a
combined
authority
response.
That's
going
to
be
equally
important
around
the
kind
of
partnerships
that
we
will
be
forming
in
terms
of
our
deal.
H
So
with
those
comments
with
those
points
made,
we
will
be
supporting
the
the
paper
with
the
amendment
this
morning
and
thank
you
for
the
indulgence
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
Lord
mayor.
I
Good
morning,
lord
man,
I
mean
today
we
reach
a
landmark
where
we
look
like
we
are
gonna,
get
to
go
forward
on
some
kind
of
devolution,
and
at
long
last
I
might
say,
but
three
prime
ministers
later
what
we
are
offered
is
not
much
different
to
what
the
government
were
offering
in
the
first
place.
This
is
not
a
victory
for
devolution
as
it
lets
down
the
people
of
leeds
west
yorkshire,
and
for
that
matter,
the
all
of
yorkshire.
I
It's
been
rather
like
being
offered
an
arse
for
sale
to
running
the
grand
national.
We
were
looking
for
reincarnation
in
a
red
room
and
and
what
we
have
got,
or
what
we
have
been
offered
is
a
donkey
and
a
donkey
at
that
with
two
legs
to
sit.
In
that
case,
I'm
totally
disappointed
and
just
wonder
if
the
uk
government
will
realize
one
day
that
for
devolution
to
work,
you
need
to
listen
to
what
they
say
locally
and
not
try
to
impose
something
from
outside.
I
During
the
consultations
we
made
it
clear.
Our
preference
was
one
yorkshire
and
that
with
an
assembly-
and
that
was
with
an
assembly
and
not
one-person
rule
accepting
that
we
probably
were
not
going
to
win
the
argument,
we
did
point
out
that
a
significant
proportion
of
west
yorkshire
councillors
would
be
totally
disenfranchised
by
a
mere
wiki
set
up
and
that
there
would
not
be
any
representation
from
those
affiliated
to
the
lga
independent
group,
mostly
greens
and
independence,
which
I've
got
to
say.
There
is
a
significant
number
of
in
wedding
west
yorkshire.
I
When
I
had
the
briefing
a
week
last
friday,
I
I
was
told
the
consultations
was
the
best
for
the
mayoral
consultation.
Well,
if,
if
this
is
the
best,
I
will
would
not
like
to
see
the
worst.
The
figure
2137
does
not
fill
me
with
confidence
that
the
laser
is
and
the
fact
is
in
the
other
authorities.
The
proportional
figure
is
half
of
what
it
was
in
leeds,
so
it
doesn't
show
any
public
support
behind
this
deal.
We
welcome
the
38
million
pounds
extra.
I
We
welcome
the
potential
additional
powers
that
we
might
be
able
to
draw
down
to
do
with
public
transport.
We
welcome
the
skills
and
employment
functions
in
our
opinion.
We
do
not
see.
We
need
the
cost
of
an
undemocratic
mayor
to
get
these
powers,
it
seems
to
us
that
the
current
metaphoricities,
along
with
waika,
are
quite
capable
of
successfully
delivering
these.
I
I
What's
the
seem,
the
never-ending
process
of
the
core
strategy
insight
allocations
plan?
We
don't
want
to
have
to
go
through
all
that
again,
but
on
this
occasion
having
it
in
pause
from
above
from
outside,
we
argue
during
the
consultation
that
these
powers
should
not
be
granted
or
if
they
were,
there
should
be
extra
safeguards,
and
on
that
basis
we
are
in
support
of
the
amendment
in
the
name
of
council
and
andrew
carter
on
climate
change.
We
believe
it
is
regrettable
that
wike
authority
will
become
it,
miss
it
to
a
zero
cabin
by
2038..
I
I
The
graphical
area
that
it
covers
is
wrong
and
it
does
not
deal
with
many
of
the
problems
that
need
to
be
dealt
with,
particularly
that
affect
the
city
of
leeds,
but
in
saying
that
that
potential,
the
potential
of
public
transport
powers
when
in
west
yorkshire
are
welcome
as
far
as
they
go
and
should
be
beneficial
to
public
transport
users.
In
my,
in
closing,
my
group
will
be
supporting
the
amendment
of
council
carter
when
it
comes
to
the
main
vote.
We
cannot
support
the
proposals.
I
There
is
much
in
it.
We
cannot
go
along
with,
but
there
are
significant
areas
we
cannot.
I
have
always
said
that
when
we
got
to
this
stage
that
I
would
not
stand
in
the
way
of
a
deal
by
trying
to
vote
one
down,
so
we
will
be
abstaining
on
the
proposals.
It
is
also
our
intention
to
carry
on
the
fight
until
we
get
proper
debut
with
evolution
in
yorkshire.
I
J
Thank
you,
lord
mayor,
I'm
speaking
in
sport
of
the
devolution
deal
for
west
yorkshire,
particularly
on
employment
and
skills.
This
has
never
been
as
relevant
and
necessary
as
it
is
now
to
support
people
and
businesses
in
leeds,
and
so
our
deal
will
give
them
mayoral
combined
authority
powers
to
help
ensure
the
necessary
skills
and
support
are
available
locally
to
support
employment
opportunities
and
to
contribute
to
our
region's
prosperity.
J
J
The
deal
will
allow
west
yorkshire
to
focus
our
future
skills,
spend
for
those
aged
19
and
over
on
the
core
outcomes
of
progression
into
further
learning
and
sustainable
employment
being
paid
a
living
wage
and
improved
workforce
devolution
offers
the
opportunity
to
exercise
greater
influence
and
responsiveness
to
local
needs
through
provision
that
supports
the
local
labor
markets,
economic
development
and
social
inclusion.
J
We
do
have
a
proud
record
here
in
west
yorkshire
on
successful
partnership,
working
which
does
deliver
for
all
our
communities
and
we
are
leading
the
way
in
using
technology
to
drive
inclusive
growth,
for
example
through
the
digital
innovation
across
the
health
and
care
system
in
leeds
our
devolution
plan
further
develops
and
plays
to
their
strength,
bringing
75
grand
to
pro
to
progress,
a
west
yorkshire,
local
digital
skills,
partnership.
J
J
Analysis
of
ons
earnings
data
has
found
that
in
2019
young
workers
in
london
and
on
average
39
more
per
week
than
those
in
yorkshire.
So
on
top
of
this,
the
government
have
been
warned
that
the
indiscriminate
severing
of
furlough
support
next
month
risks
deepening
and
entrenching
entrenching
that
regional
inequality.
So
it's
against
that
backdrop
that
this
west
yorkshire
devolution
offers
a
timely
and
sustainable
plan
towards
locally
coordinated
solutions
that
gives
a
better
chance
to
help
secure
local
jobs
and
growth
for
our
region.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
lord
mayor,
graham
lottie,
lord
matt,
I'm
speaking
in
support
of
the
report.
It
was
going
to
be
in
support
of
councillor
carter's
amendment
but
anyway,
so
I
I'm
not
a
natural
supporter
of
unbridled
power
and
whilst
in
there
oh,
you
would
have
isn't
quite
unbridled.
It's
not
bridled
either
it's
a
big
price,
I
think
to
pay
for
the
undoubted
benefits
that
would
come
with
devolution,
but
I'm
not
thrilled
by
the
prospect
of
the
dilution
of
our
own
powers.
Nor
of
having
a
mayor
forces
on
me
and
my
residence.
K
We've
got
a
recent
example
of
what
happens
when
planning
in
the
spatial
sense
is
not
implemented
with
broad
consent,
and
it
took
a
court
issue
to
make
that
point
anyway.
Here
we're
talking
about
spatial
planning,
which
means
the
methods
and
approaches
used
by
the
public
and
private
sector
to
influence
the
distribution
of
people
and
activities
in
spaces
of
various
scales
well
in
abraham.
That
very
nearly
happened
to
us
and
I
wouldn't
hit
on
the
rest
of
leeds
and
I
don't
think,
there's
anybody
else
who
would
be
in
the
chamber
who
really
would
support
that.
K
L
Thank
you,
rodney.
I
will
be
supporting
the
devolution
paper
and
in
terms
of
transport
we've
been
waiting
years
and
looking
at
london's
model
of
public
transport
and
wondering
why
we
were
not
allowed
that
we've
been
left
behind
by
not
having
a
deal
as
I've
worked
up
and
down
the
country
visiting
manchester
west
midlands
and
other
other
areas
of
like
liverpool.
L
You
can
see
the
massive
investment
that
they
have
got
in
transport
just
because
they
have
had
a
mayoral
deal.
They
received
transforming
cities
bid.
Mayoral
authorities
would
just
given
the
money.
So
it's
not
just
about
the
38
million
game
share
it's
about
the
4.2
billion
transport
fund
in
2022
that
we
will
get
be
able
to
bid
into
for
a
mass
transit
system.
L
Many
people
and
public
transport
is
a
real
lifeline,
so
we
desperately
need
a
transport
system
that
works
for
us.
How
many
people
in
council
members
have
come
to
me
saying
they
cannot
get
the
routes
they
want
for
the
people
that
they
want
in
their
wards,
and
let's
not
forget
that.
Actually,
this
will
take
us
forward
and
help
us
to
deal
with
the
issues
around
the
buses
and
long
term.
We'll
be
able
to
look
at
that.
The
region
will
access
franchising
powers
in
the
bus
services
act
of
2017.
L
At
this
moment
in
time,
people
are
being
let
down
by
transport
and
not
in
needs,
but
right
across
west
yorkshire
we
have
seen
manchester
being
able
to
actually
narrow
in
their
qualities
because
they
have
a
deal.
They
have
supported
their
waspy
women
in
terms
of
getting
their
passes.
This
brings
so
much
more,
and
this
can
really
help
us
and
to
work
with
the
bus
operators
and
who
we
have
had
some
success,
but
it
can
give
us
greater
control
over
the
things
that
people
really
want.
L
They
want
a
system,
a
transport
system
that
is
reliable
and
is
affordable.
At
the
moment.
We
have
all
the
subsidies
in
in
terms
of
on
the
bus
routes
and
we
are
subsidising
those
we
need
to
be
running
the
transport
system,
but
buses
are
just
one
part
of
that
very
important
piece
of
work
and
that
we've
been
progressing
at
waika.
L
We
need
more
control
on
rail,
we
meet,
we
are
working
on
walking
and
cycling
and
we
need
a
mass
transit
system
in
leeds
and
across
west
yorkshire
and
mass
transit
is
not
a
silver
bullet.
It
will
not
single,
it
handy
resolve
all
our
reals,
but
it
is
a
critical
part
of
missing
that
is
missing
from
the
religious
transport
system
and
from
the
work.
We're
shortcut.
L
Devolution
is
the
answer
to
many
questions
we
have
asked
in
leeds
for
years
and
it
will
bring
with
it
the
power
and
funding
that
we
so
desperately
need.
And,
finally,
let
us
do
it
this
for
the
people,
let's
not
be
left
behind
and
let's
embrace
evolution
and
make
it
work
for
the
people
of
leeds
and
west
yorkshire.
Thank
you,
rodney
answer.
Aaron.
M
M
It
comprises
one
officer
to
look
at
a
budget
which
is
as
large
as
leeds
and
much
larger
than
kirklees.
Now,
first
reaction
to
the
reformer
school
is
to
have
more
scrutiny,
committees
and
they
might
might
be
part
of
the
solution,
but
we
need
to
build
up
the
culture
and
profile
of
scrutiny.
M
M
Two
years
after
the
election
there'll
be
a
big
new
power
base
in
yorkshire.
It
might
be
uncomfortable,
there'll,
be
disagreement,
there'll
be
conflict.
Remember
that
devotion
is
not
the
city
called.
It
is
to
wellington
street
there'll,
be
a
person
that
has
been
elected,
250,
000,
personal
votes,
40
or
50
times
more
than
any
other
leasing.
Council
has
ever
achieved.
M
He
or
she
will
an
annual
budget
much
bigger
than
ours
and
five
times
that
of
calderdale.
He
or
she
will
have
a
major
public
image
share.
Italian
types
are
not
elected
to
these
positions.
The
38
million
pounds
available
to
spend
on
discretionary
products
will
be
allocated
in
wellington
street,
not
room
six
and
seven.
M
M
At
the
least,
we
should
invite
him,
or
once
a
year,
no
deputies
accepted
to
come
to
our
council
chamber
and
explain
to
us
the
priorities
of
their
administration,
the
decisions
that
they're
taking
in
the
previous
year
and
understand
our
approach
to
the
problems,
the
various
challenges
that
we
all
face.
That
applies
even
more
strongly.
This
unelected,
highly
paid
individual
who's
going
to
be
running
the
police
service
in
west
yorkshire.
They
should
be
coming
to
council
once
a
year
for
everybody's
benefit.
M
The
new
authority
is
going
to
take
scrutiny
on
scale.
We
can't
defend,
can't
define
now.
I
suggest
we
give
attention
now
to
improving
scrutiny
and
building
up
these
relationships
before
he
or
she
arrives
because
there'll
be
no
attack
for
change
after
may
2021,
we
don't
do
it
now,
there'll
be
no
changes
for
a
long
long
time.
Thank
you.
N
N
So
we
have
that
lever
to
ensure
it
supports
our
ambitions
for
a
more
sustainable
future,
however,
has
is
ever
the
case
when
this
government
gives
hand
it
takes
away
with
the
other.
In
his
current
white
paper
planning
for
the
future,
the
government
claims
it
wishes
to
cut
red
tape,
to
speed
up
the
planning
process,
a
claim
built
entirely
on
the
myth
that
house
building
is
being
held
by
local
castles
and
not
by
landowners
and
development
developers
sitting
on
sites
with
planning
permission,
but
not
starting
work
on
them.
N
It
would
be
more
accurate
to
say
the
government
wants
to
cut
local
at
local
oversights
and
the
democratic
process
in
planning
matters.
The
government
proposes
new
zoning
areas
with
growth
areas
being
suitable
for
comprehensive
development
that
would
automatically
have
outline
permission.
Laughably
robert
generic
claims
he's
intent
on
using
an
algorithm
to
determine
such
applications.
N
Even
after
the
shambolic
mess
his
government
made
with
their
decision
to
use
prejudicial
algorithms
to
determine
students
exam
results.
This
summer.
The
government
proposals
would
sweep
away
the
ability
to
give
proper
scrutiny
to
planning
applications.
They
open
the
market
to
speculative
development
building
what
they
want,
how
they
want
and
where
they
want
the
proposal.
The
government's
planning
white
paper
are
the
exact
opposites
of
devolution.
N
I
welcome
the
devolution
deal
set
before
us
today,
but
would
urge
the
governments
to
reconsider
its
netherlands
for
removing
local
decision-making
and
planning
matters
and
centralizing
control.
It's
a
time
when
we
are
poised
to
accept
powers
being
supposedly
devolved
from
westminster
to
west
yorkshire,
not
the
other
way
around.
Thank
you.
Lorna.
K
Thank
you,
lord
sorry.
I
couldn't
find
the
unmoved
button
there.
Well.
This
morning's
been
a
very
interesting
discussion
from
my
point
of
view,
because
we've
had
labor
cheerleading
for
the
deal.
Probably
they
say,
see
the
morality
as
a
labor
cinecure
a
bit
like
the
police
and
crime
commissioner,
which
was
a
complete
disaster.
In
my
opinion
and
the
rest
of
us
keep
saying
quite
openly
that
this
is
not
a
good
deal.
K
It's
not
even
a
third
rate
deal
actually,
but
it's
the
only
deal
in
town
and
if
we
want
some
even
limited
evolution,
we
have
to
accept
it,
but
like
a
lot
of
the
other
speakers,
I'm
of
the
view
that
we
should
quite
clearly
say
at
this
point
we'll
accept
reluctantly
but
wish
to
see
considerable
changes.
K
Because,
obviously,
it
states
something
which
may
or
may
not
be
under
threat,
but
there's
no
there's,
no
reason
why
we
shouldn't
reiterate
our
opposition
to
having
planning
targets
dictated.
It
is
a
bit
rich.
I
I
appreciate
andrew's
point
and
andrew
has,
over
the
years
being
a
vocal
critic
of
imposed,
housing
targets,
etc.
K
But
it
is
a
bit
rich
from
people
like
dom
talking
about
the
dictatorial
powers
of
the
elected
mayor,
mainly
mind
its
conservative
policy
and,
more
importantly,
the
need
to
get
control
get
local
control
over
planning,
particularly
when
the
conservative
government
now
appear
to
be
taking
that
away
from
us.
K
We
will
support
the
the
amendment
and
we
will
reluctantly
support
the
devolution.
Thank
you.
O
Thank
you,
lord
mayor,
in
welcoming
the
principle
of
the
deal
and
the
much
needed
investment
package
it
unlocks.
I
also
support
the
amended
motion
in
the
name
of
councillor
andrew
carter,
of
a
number
of
points,
however,
that
I
think
need
to
be
looked
into,
for
example,
the
consultation,
the
consultation
did
not
reach
the
citizens
of
this
city
nor
west
yorkshire,
and
when
I
asked
for
clarification
on
this
about
the
communications
plan,
I
was
told
by
officers,
although
it
wasn't
in
the
public
domain.
O
I
also
feel
that
scrutiny
of
the
mayor
and
the
mayoral
authority
needs
to
be
beefed
up
both
within
the
mayoral
authority
and
within
leeds
city
council.
This
may
need
more
councillors
being
sent
to
the
mayoral
authority
to
scrutinize,
but
we
also
need
to
look
internally
as
well.
How
are
we
going
to
amend
our
scrutiny
boards
in
order
to
reflect
the
new
norm
or
whatever
you
want
to
to
talk
about
it
in
particular?
However,
I
do
think
we
need
to
do
something
about
the
scrutiny
of
the
police.
Commissioner
role,
it
needs
to
be
beefed
up.
O
Councillor
blackburn
has
already
pointed
out
a
potential
concern
over
the
mayor's
role
in
climate
change
policy,
and
to
that
I
would
add
that,
when
I've
asked
for
clarity,
I've
not
received
it
in
the
spend
of
the
implications
of
the
clean
air
act
either
so
in
respect
of
housing.
Just
want
to
make
some
points
here.
Do
we
really
know
what
the
mayor's
remit
is
going
to
be
in
terms
of
green
infrastructure
in
terms
of
paragraph
99
of
the
agreement?
O
What
does
this
actually
mean?
What
are
these
broad
powers?
How
are
they
going
to
be
exercised?
We've
got
some
council
officers
who
are
concerned
conflicts
with
planning.
How
are
we
going
to
deal
with
this?
How
are
we
going
to
deal
with
the
problems
with
neighborhood
planning,
it's
a
big
big
mess
and,
finally,
there's
the
strategic
infrastructure
tariff
sill
by
any
other
name,
that's
not
been
set
clearly
how
it's
going
to
be
calculated
out.
I
support
the
motion.
Lord
now.
P
Thank
you
good
morning,
lord
mayors
and
fellow
members.
I
too
speak
in
support
of
the
devolution
deal
for
west
yorkshire.
This
is
the
first
mayoral
devolution
deal
for
west
yorkshire,
but
it
follows
on
from
other
deals
previously
struck
with
the
government.
P
P
P
P
P
We
were
instead
asked
to
come
with
another
option,
so
went
for
one
yorkshire
and
submitted
that
to
them.
In
march
2018
they
didn't
like
that
either
so,
eventually,
in
march
2020,
they
agreed
to
the
west
yorkshire,
geography,
I'm
glad
we
finally
got
there
at
last,
as
it
comes
at
a
vital
time
for
the
economy,
our
economy
and
the
future
of
our
young
people.
So
I
fully
support
this
lord
mayor.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Q
Q
Q
Q
Surely
this
must
only
be
following
a
thorough
and
robust
consultation
process,
as
mentioned
by
my
colleagues
previously.
We
also
have
many
concerns
in
relation
to
the
strategic
planning
and
consent
required.
There
are
many
points
within
the
housing
and
planning
section
that
that
concern.
My
ward
in
particular,
and
my
colleagues
and
I
in
pudsey,
are
greatly
appreciative
of
the
amendment
put
forward
by
councillor
andrew
carter
and
we're
we're
very
glad
that
this
has
now
been
accepted.
Q
Sorry
times
are
up,
I'm
afraid.
Oh
okay.
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
My
lord
mary
believe
I've.
I've
made
my
points.
Thank
you.
P
P
Birmingham
and
manchester
in
2017
then
sheffield
in
2018,
it's
fair
to
say
our
negotiation
with
the
government
have
been
difficult.
They
constantly
move
the
goal
posts
since
2015
our
leader
and
chief
executive
led
the
negotiation
for
our
side
on
the
government
side.
In
that
time,
we've
had
three
prime
ministers,
four
chancellors,
five
sectors
of
a
state
for
communities,
not
stable
government
it
and
it
explains
why
they
kept
changing
their
mind,
but
council.
P
P
P
P
P
K
K
Nothing
will
be
more
relevant
to
planning
as
the
arrangements
in
place
on
transport
across
west
yorkshire,
particularly
as
regards
new
housing
developments
wherever
they
take
place
now,
when
the
draft
vision
for
rail
was
conceived,
the
world
was
a
different
place.
Since
march
passenger
numbers
on
buses
and
trains
have
plunged
for
reasons,
we
know
only
too
well.
K
K
K
K
K
So
if
they
were
going
to
have
confidence
restored
to
travel
on
the
mass
transit
service,
they
must
feel
that
they
have
a
buy-in
to
it
and
feel
that
they're
part
of
the
process-
and
this
is
where
the
response
rate
to
the
consultation
has
been
so
poor
and
needs
to
be
urgently
addressed.
4
000,
as
people
have
said,
have
responded
which,
by
my
math
means
that
99.98
of
the
population
did
not
respond
now.
People
in
20
years
time
will
live
and
work
in
a
different
way
and
will
travel
in
a
different
way.
K
So,
let's
just
say,
hs2
is
cancelled
and
who
bet
the
mortgage
on
it?
Not
being
the
public
need
to
have
a
west
yorkshire
system
which
is
economically
tight,
is
not
only
acceptable
to
leeds
but
centered
on,
leads
and
includes
the
east
and
north
of
the
city,
not
just
the
west
and
south.
Thank
you
a
lot
mayor,
thank.
B
Thank
you,
lord
mayor.
I
speak
in
support
of
the
amendment
of
council
andrew
carter,
and
I
welcome
that
it's
been
accepted
by
the
administration.
B
B
The
first
of
those
is
policing
and
the
second
are
the
finance
functions.
These
were
the
two
areas
which
had
the
the
largest
amount
of
opposition
voices
to
them.
The
people
questioning
what
would
devolution
deliver
in
these
two
areas
and
that's
perfectly
understandable,
because
the
economic
security
and
the
security
of
people's
homes
and
businesses
at
this
time
is
paramount.
B
What
people
were.
It
was
very
clear
from
the
report.
What
people
did
not
want
to
see
was
another
layer
of
politicians
were
big
tax
rises
and
were
for
the
police
service
to
become
a
political
football
in
this
region,
and
I
welcome
the
changes
that
the
home
secretary
seeks
to
bring
in
around
police
and
crime
commissioners,
and
I
would
hope
that
from
a
devolution
deal,
we
can
be
on
the
front
foot
at
adopting
them,
making
sure
that
the
police
and
crime
panel
has
real
teeth
to
hold
the
mayor
and
a
deputy
mayor
for
police
into
account.
B
But
similarly
we
have
to
ask
questions
about
where
control
lies
for
policing.
If
the
mayor
and
deputy
mayor
disagree,
where
does
the
book
stop
and
who
has
the
final
say
on
this,
because
there
are
real
challenges
for
policing
in
our
region?
I
welcome
the
opportunity
to
share
better
information
and
I
welcome
the
opportunity
for
a
mayor
to
be
further
involved
in
how
communities
are
policed,
but
it's
right
that
we
seek
to
address
that
now.
B
Secondly,
on
the
financial
issues,
we've
already
heard
that
for
the
support
in
2012
for
a
mayor
was
well,
it
wasn't
there
quite
frankly
and
we
have
had
we've
got
a
big
job
to
do.
If
we
wish
to
sell
people
on
what
a
mayor
will
do
and
if
a
mayor
comes
in
and
their
first
job
is
to
stick
a
great
big
tax
on
residents
in
this
city
and
businesses
across
west
yorkshire.
B
I
think
that
people
across
the
region
will
be
interested
in,
but
if
it
seeks
to
make
sure
that
if
it
seeks
to
ensure
that
business
cannot
develop,
if
it
seeks
to
kill
development
in
the
crib
before
we
can
get
out
of
the
recession
that
we
are
in,
then
that's
a
real
problem,
and
so
subsidiarity
needs
to
be
paramount
here
and
take
hearing
the
voices
at
the
lowest
possible
level.
B
R
R
During
the
consultation,
we
stated
that
our
preference
was
for
one
yorkshire
with
an
assembly,
but
we
have
had
thrusted
upon
us.
What
is
in
front
of
us
now
a
devolution
agreement
which
is
contingent
upon
west
yorkshire
proceeding
to
establish
a
new
mayoral
combined
authority
where
the
mayor
will
provide
overall
leadership,
and
that
is
the
only
game
in
town.
R
R
S
Thank
you,
lord
mayor.
It's
always
difficult
following
councillor
blackburn,
but
I'll
do
my
best,
I'm
speaking
in
support
of
the
amendment
in
the
name
of
councillor
carter,
which
will
hopefully
be
the
substantive
motion.
This
is
not
a
perfect
deal.
I
think
many
people
have
said
that
it's
not
the
geographical
area.
Many
of
us
would
have
liked
to
see,
but
it
does
bring
significantly
more
money
to
our
area.
It
does
bring
significantly
more
resource
to
our
area.
S
It
gives
power
and
decision
making
brings
it
much
more
closely
to
the
people
it's
going
to
affect,
and
it's
something
that,
while
it's
not
perfect,
we
have
to
work
with
it
and
make
it
the
best
it
can
be
for
those
that
think
there
are
no
powers
going
the
other
way
from
the
council
to
the
combined
authority
and
those
who
swallowed
that
line.
I
suggest
you
go
back
and
look
very
carefully
at
the
deal
there
are
and
you
might
want
to
think
about
what
they
are.
S
We
need
to
make
sure
we
get
the
oversight
right.
Councillor
haran's
points
were
really
important.
We
have
managed
to
secure
some
improvements
through
consultation
through
con
through
discussions
with
the
government.
The
fact
there
will
be
all
party
representation
and
I
don't
share
the
pessimism
of
some
of
the
others
who
think
well.
That
means
it
has
to
always
be
two
parties
that
run
things.
S
Let's
leave
that
to
the
people
of
west
yorkshire
to
decide
who's
going,
to
run
things
and
who's
going
to
be
making
up
those
constituent
bodies-
and
it's
down
to
this
group
on
this
council
that
we
have
all
party
representation
and
it's
down
to
this
group
that
we're
not
being
forced
into
letting
the
combined
authority
set
the
spatial
strategy.
Although
we
don't
believe
the
guarantees
go
far
enough,
and
that
is
the
point
of
the
amendment
and
I'm
pleased
to
see
that
it
seems
all
parties
are
going
to
accept
that.
S
Finally,
lord
mayor,
we
also
need
to
accept
devolution,
can
go
in
two
directions.
It's
good
that
more
powers
are
coming
to
this
to
the
west
yorkshire
region
and
to
the
city,
but
there's
also
an
opportunity
for
this
council
to
develop
more
powers
and
trust
the
communities
that
it
serves
and
let
local
members
and
local
communities
take
more
decisions,
there's
much
more.
We
could
do
on
that
basis
in
leeds.
So
thank
you,
lord
mayor
I'll,
leave
it
there
and
I'll
support
the
amendment
and
hopefully,
therefore
the
substantive
motion.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
A
Our
devolution
plan
comes
at
a
crucial
time
for
the
region's
young
people.
There
is
a
wealth
of
evidence
that
the
impact
of
the
pandemic
on
young
people
and
their
future
job
prospects
will
be
far-reaching
and
long-lasting.
There
are
several
reports
that
indicate
that
youth
unemployment
has
already
started
to
rocket
as
a
result
of
covet
19..
A
My
lord,
I
am,
I
am
a
mother
of
16
year
old,
twin
boys,
who
did
not
sit
for
their
gcses
and
so
are
many
other
young
ones
across
the
country,
their
lives
and
their
results,
which
they
deserved,
has
been
robbed
from
the
shambolic
allocation
of
gcses
and
a
level
grades
to
the
lack
of
genuine
support
and
solutions
for
young
people
struggling
to
find
their
feet.
In
a
harsh
and
unwelcoming
jobs
market.
A
There
has
been
a
disregard
for
future
generations
that
has
been
born
out
over
the
past
10
years
and
sadly,
we
have
also
come
to
expect
of
this
from
this
government.
If
we
are
to
ensure
that
everyone
has
the
same
opportunities
to
get
on
in
life,
it
is
imperative
that
we
acknowledge
the
skill
and
scope
of
the
challenges
that
we
face
and
ensure
that
opportunities
are
spread
beyond
london
and
specifically
target
the
highest
levels
and
areas
of
deprivation
in
leeds.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
young
people,
whatever
their
background,
are
not
held.
A
Back
importantly,
we
will
always
listen
to
the
voices
of
young
people
and
I
welcome
the
opportunity
that
devolution
offers
to
our
response
accordingly.
Council,
I
fully
support
our
devolution
deal.
It
offers
creativity,
it
offers
imagination
and
tailored
investment
in
our
young
people,
also
in
their
skills
and
in
our
digital
future,
as
we
so
rightly
need
of
which
we
cannot
expect
to
be
delivered
nationally.
A
D
Lewis,
thank
you,
lord
mayor.
I
think
if
we
were
in
the
council
chamber,
we'd
have
to
wait
for
the
applause
to
subside.
After
that
brilliant
speech,
I
just
wanted
to
talk
about
a
couple
of
things
on
this.
D
I've
been
involved
in
devolution
longer
than
I
think
most
people
in
the
council
has-
and
I
think,
let's
be
absolutely
clear
about
how
we've
got
to
where
we've
got
today,
and
it
is
because
for
the
last
10
years
the
devolution
issue
has
been
steered
from
the
center
by
the
conservative
party
and
the
conservative
and
lib
dem
government
who
have
made
it
absolutely
clear
that
to
get
anything
out
of
central
government,
we
have
to
have
an
elected
mayor.
I
share
concerns
about
an
elected
mayor.
D
I
think
we've
got
some
great
examples
of
elected
mayors.
We've
got
some
that
maybe
haven't
delivered
what
were
expected,
but
we
have
to
have
an
elected
mayor
whether
we
like
it
or
not,
and
given
turning
to
downey
street
again,
given
some
of
the
behavior
we've
seen
over
over
the
summer.
I
certainly
share
many
of
the
concerns
that
being
raised
about
powerful,
unelected
people
making
decisions
that
rule
over
our
lives,
and
nobody
would
want
to
see
that
happen
here.
D
I'm
sure
none
of
us
would
sign
up
to
this,
but
again
other
members
have
talked
about
it
and
I
won't
repeat
the
whole
list,
because
members
have
spoken
very
well
about
it,
but
if
we
want
a
mass
transit
system,
better
bus
services,
investment
in
transport
and
investment
in
digital
infrastructure,
investment
in
brownfield
land
and
regeneration
to
take
the
pressure
off
greenfield
development,
and
we
want
that
money
out
of
central
government.
D
The
only
way
we
can
access
that
is
by
having
an
elected
mayor
we've
spent
five
years
ago,
we
submitted
a
bid
for
a
city
region,
man,
I
know
there's
council
carter
and
others
would
prefer
a
city
region
bid
that
was
not
accepted
by
central
government.
I
don't
think
we
even
got
an
explanation
why
they
did
not
accept
it.
Yes,
I
accept
we,
we
are
where
we
are
and
we
need
to
move
forward
on
this
basis.
D
If
we
don't,
if
we
don't
accept
this
deal
and
continue
to
work
to
make
it
better,
then
I
fear
we
won't
get
anything
at
all
and
given
the
last
10
years
of
this
government
has
been
an
obsession
about
creating
new
mayors
and
positions
and,
let's
not
forget
it
was
a
conservative
party
that
imposed
police
and
crime
commissioners,
others
without
any
consultation
or
referendum.
D
But
if
we
don't
accept
an
elected
mayor,
we
will
lose
out
on
funding
and
who
knows
where
we'll
end
up
with,
given
their
current
obsessions,
we
may
well
have
a
west
yorkshire
algorithm
distributing
funds
around
the
area,
that's
how
they
want
to
sort
out
children's
future.
That
seems
to
be
according
to
reading
the
sunday
times.
That's
how
they
want
to
start
doing
planning
applications.
Let's
not
have
a
west
yorkshire
algorithm
distributing
funds
in
the
future.
Let's
all
work
together.
D
I
share
a
lot
of
the
concerns
that
are
being
raised
by
speakers
from
all
parties
and
particularly
around
issues
like
scrutiny
and
accountability,
where
we
really
need
to
get
it
right.
D
But
let's
move
forward
recognize
this
as
a
key
to
huge
amounts
of
funding,
and,
let's
not
forget-
and
I
make
this
final
point-
the
biggest
shift
of
power-
that's
happened
as
far
as
the
council
has
been
concerned
over
the
last
10
years
has
been
the
government's
removal
of
1.7
billion
pounds
of
funding
for
the
council,
which
allowed
us
to
make
choices
around
many
areas
of
public
spending.
Let's
not
give
up
on
even
more
funding
and
let's
move
forward
to
make
it
better.
I
second
council
blake's
motion
thank.
T
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
lord
mayor.
I'm
not
sure
what
some
members
have
been
passing
or
drinking
over
the
bank
holiday,
but
who
thought
we'd
have
had
contributions
this
morning
of
councillor
blackburn's
donkey
and
councillor
councillor
galtons,
rather
contemporary
production
of
the
ingenious
don
quixote
of
carvely,
of
course,
a
character
character,
a
man
who's
characterized
a
man
of
strong
integrity
and
wisdom.
T
I'm
not
sure
councillor
galton
meant
that
in
his
description
of
council
carter,
one
could
only
assume
if,
if
councillor
galton
was
having
a
part
in
this
in
this
production,
it
would
be
that
of
falstaff.
T
T
Whilst
we
welcome
the
additional
63
million
pounds
funding
for
adult
education
in
the
region,
it's
noted
that
the
the
mayor
will
have
their
own
priorities
across
the
region
that
might
not
mirror
those
of
the
constituent
council
such
as
here
in
leeds
many
councils,
see
neet
as
a
priority
area
for
development,
including
leads
and
are
already
working
on
strategies
to
track
and
secure
education,
employment,
training
for
young
people.
T
The
work's
not
always
concerned,
though,
within
the
boundaries
of
one
local
authority
area,
indeed
that
what
will
become
the
mayoral
area
either.
There
must
therefore
be
a
mechanism
for
neighbourhood
neighboring
authorities
in
north
yorkshire
to
contribute
to
the
skills
agenda.
Likewise,
further
education,
settings
operating
outside
of
the
mayoral
area,
but
educating
adult
residents
within
west
georgia
should
not
be
forgotten
about,
and
this
is
certainly
the
case
in
the
area
that
I
represent.
The
harewood
ward,
where
about
half
of
the
children
resident
in
hair,
would
ward
attend
schools
and
colleges
in
north
yorkshire.
T
Another
item
we
wish
to
raise
is
that
the
scrutiny
of
the
education
budget
and
how
it's
allocated
and
spent
across
the
areas
it'll
be
difficult
to
compare
between
cities
themselves,
but
even
more
so
at
a
local
level.
Across
communities
within
cities.
Will
the
scrutiny
function
within
the
to
be
established.
T
Mca
have
the
capability
and
the
skills
to
undertake
ultra
local
scrutiny,
to
ensure
that
all
adults
who
want
to
learn
new
schools,
either
from
the
job
market
or
simply
for
the
pleasure
of
learning,
have
the
opportunity
to
do
so
in
an
accredited
establishment
close
to
where
they
live
and
on
the
topic
of
education.
Lord
mayor,
I
would
just
like
to
follow
up
on
some
of
the
comments
made
by
members
of
the
administration
about
education
in
england
and
the
use
of
algorithms.
T
I'm
sure
that
no
member
of
the
administration
will
be
willing
to
stand
up
and
say
that
our
council
don't
use
algorithms
and
the
like
in
sorting
out
our
daily
functioning
and,
and
there
are
administrations
elsewhere
within
the
united
kingdom.
That
also
feel
algorithms
have
a
place
in
in
in
how
we
function,
for
example,
in
wales,
where
the
administration
in
wales,
the
labour
run
administration
and
the
education
cabinet
member
is
a
liberal
democrat
and
they
followed
exactly
the
same
mechanism
as
as
the
department
for
education
in
england
in
managing
gcse.
T
So
after
the
speeches
we've
heard
today,
lord
mayor,
one
can
only
assume
that
labour
members
in
this
council
are
equally
as
appalled
with
the
labour
lib
dem
coalition,
that's
happening
in
wales,
and
that
should
be
a
pointer
to
any
resident
in
leeds
who
might
think
that
a
a
liberal,
a
labour
administration
propped
up
by
lib
dems
would
be
a
good
idea.
Thank
you.
Lord
mayor.
F
Yes,
thank
you,
lord
mayor,
I'm
speaking
in
support
of
the
devilish
devolution
report
that
is
before
council
today
and,
firstly,
I'd
just
like
to
say
actually
I've
been
in
the
chamber
and
in
many
council
meetings
and
never
have.
I
heard
the
tory
opposition
speak
out
against
their
own
government
and
what
their
own
government
are
suggesting.
As
much
as
I
have
this
morning,
I
have
got
to
say
so.
It
seems
to
me
that
poverty,
inequality,
child
poverty,
school
funding
and
finances
all
sit
on
the
back
burner.
F
But
yet
when
we
start
to
talk
about
special
planning
and
a
mayoral
election,
then
it
seems
that
their
tories
put
themselves
into
gear.
F
F
Our
housing
is
about
more
than
bricks
and
mortar,
providing
a
safe
and
secure
environment
for
years
to
come
for
families,
strengthening
our
communities
and
creating
an
environment
that
people
want
to
live
in
throughout
corvaid.
We
have
ensured
that
our
housing
schemes
have
continued
to
be
delivered,
providing
a
home
for
generations
to
come
for
families
in
leeds.
F
In
addition,
working
with
partners
will
deliver
another
240
new
extra
care
homes
for
older
people
in
the
next
four
years.
This
will
bring
the
total
extra
care
housing
provision
to
around
500
homes
by
2024
and
halfway
to
our
target
of
a
thousand
by
2028.,
I've
recently
seen
the
good
quality
of
the
housing
and
how
thrilled
our
tenants
are
to
be
given
the
keys
to
these
new
properties.
F
We
have
proven
over
the
years
that
we
know
doing
things
locally
is
far
better
with
this
devolution
deal.
It
will
enable
us
to
deliver
much
more
on
a
local
level.
I
support
the
report.
Lord
now.
Thank
you.
P
S
P
S
Just
reflecting
on,
I
think
what
councillor
tsung
said:
the
change
isn't
one
of
the
only
constants
taxes
are
also
one
of
the
constants
and,
as
councillor
robinson
said
earlier,
we
should
be
mindful
where
the
burden
where
the
burden
falls.
Turning
to
the
conservative
group
submission
to
the
consultation
and
includes
the
concerns
we
have
over
the
protection
of
our
green
belt
and
green
spaces,
an
issue
of
importance,
particularly
to
the
residents
of
horses
and
rodent.
S
There
is
already
a
lack
of
discussion
between
neighbouring
councils
on
planning
applications
and
infrastructure
programs
near
the
borders.
The
proposals
for
the
mayor
lack
detail
on
how
a
mayor
would
link
the
various
authorities
and
could,
in
fact,
encourage
conflict
between
the
various
constituent
councils.
S
Planning
should
remain
within
the
remit
of
constituent
councils,
and
that
should
be
in
the
form
of
a
veto.
Horstworth
recently
voted
in
favor
of
a
neighborhood
plan
after
many
years
of
the
document
being
prepared
and
the
mayor's
office
also
almost
come
into
conflict
with
the
wishes
of
local
people
with
the
mess.
This
council
is
already
in
over
the
successful
challenge
in
the
courts
from
the
arab
neighborhood
forum
of
the
greenbelt
sites
allocated
within
the
adopted
site
location
plan.
S
We
must
stay
alert
to
the
potential
for
a
mayor
to
overrule
the
wishes
of
local
people,
while
the
financial
settlement
offered
in
this
devolution
deal
by
government
is
the
most
generous
agreed
so
far,
and
the
accountability
of
allocating
this
funding
is
moving
from
london
to
west
yorkshire
is
most
welcome.
The
concerns
raised
today
must
be
addressed,
as
has
also
been
discussed.
Carrying
the
public
with
us
on
devolution
is
essential
for
the
legitimacy
of
the
role
in
the
eyes
of
our
residents.
S
We
must
do
better
at
communicating
the
benefits
and
drawbacks
of
the
deal
as
it
develops
to
allow
people
to
form
their
own
judgments.
Finally,
lord
mayor,
I
accept
that
much
as
what
being
spoken
about
today
has
been
repeated.
The
administration
should
perhaps
reflect
on
our
view
that
we
need
to
reiterate
the
points
we
make
given
the
aforementioned
mess
with
the
site
location
plan
to
ensure
we
understand
the
implications
of
the
decisions
we
take
on
behalf
of
our
city.
Thank
you.
Lord
matt,.
A
C
Apologies,
lord
man,
sorry
thank
you.
I
I
must
have
lost
to
know
where
to
start
with
summing
up
with
this
debate,
I
just
feel
it's
such
a
shame
that
the
tories
on
the
council
at
the
time
didn't
join
us
in
objecting
to
george
osborne,
insisting
that
a
directly
elected
mayor
was
the
only
option
in
town
with
the
devolution
deals.
Where
were
you,
then
you
know
it's
no
good,
crying
now
over
spilt
milk.
You
know
you
supported
your
government.
C
However,
inconsistent
they've
been
over
the
last
few
years
and
we
are
now
where
we
are-
and
we
have
argued
repeatedly
in
the
council
chamber,
that
the
tory
model
of
devolution
is
too
prescriptive.
It.
C
It
works
on
a
one-size-fits-all
model
which
clearly
hasn't
worked
around
the
country
and
that's
why
there
have
been
so
many
failures
in
getting
devolution
deals
across
the
line,
and
everyone
in
the
chamber
knows
that
the
administration,
the
labor
group,
have
argued
consistently
for
a
lead
city
region
deal
and
when
we
were
denied
that
by
the
government
we
went
for
a
one
yorkshire
deal.
C
We
were
denied
that
and
then
we
saw
firsthand
the
government
channeling
millions
of
pounds
of
money
to
areas
with
who
already
had
directly
elected
mayors
and
of
course,
we
came
together
across
the
districts
and
recognized
that
this
is
the
only
show
in
town
and
the
only
possibility
that
we
have
to
get
more
money
out
of
whitehall
down
into
the
local
areas
under
our
control,
so
that
we
can
start
defend
it
to
address
the
shocking
inequalities,
woeful
lack
of
investment
in
our
areas.
C
That
has
been
the
story
of
this
government
going
back
over
10
years
now,
as
you
you've
we've
heard,
we've
had
to
suffer
from
three
different
prime
ministers,
four
chancellors,
five
secretary
of
state
and,
of
course,
what
we
haven't
mentioned
is
three
northern
powerhouse
ministers.
Well,
I
just
want
to
ask
everyone
on
this
council.
C
Where
are
the
successes
of
the
northern
powerhouse
ministers
and
the
the
rhetoric?
That's
gone
with
regard
to
investing
in
in
the
north
in
yorkshire
in
leeds
itself,
and
we
know
that
so
many
people
in
our
communities
are
suffering
from
that
lack
of
investment,
whether
it's
across
education,
young
people,
life
opportunities,
transport
infrastructure.
C
It's
all
there
to
see,
so
we
have
seized
the
opportunity
now
to
move
forward
and
then
recognizing
that
devolution
in
england
is
far
from
perfect
and
won't
address
all
of
the
problems
we
have.
We
know
that
we
have
to
grasp
the
opportunity
and
go
forward
with
it.
I
am
I
just
wonder
if
some
of
the
comments
from
the
tories
means
of
their
because
of
the
shambolic
performance
of
government
over
the
last
few
months,
they're
really
worried
about
the
outcome
of
the
election.
C
Is
that
what's
underneath
some
of
the
comments
that
you've
made?
But
you
know
we
have
an
opportunity
now
to
move
forward.
I
have
to
say
on
the
planning
issue:
the
veto
already
exists
in
the
deal
and
I
think
what
you're
trying
to
do
today
is
to
deflect
from
what
must
be
a
horror
story
for
you
from
your
secretary
of
state
and
the
plans
to
undermine
local
democracy.
C
Even
further
in
the
area
of
planning
must
be
a
real
shock
for
you
and
we
hope
you,
you
will
work
with
us
to
lobby
them
to
make
sure
that
we
preserve
local
democracy,
particularly
in
these
areas,
but
we
have
an
opportunity
now
to
move
forward
with
confidence
to
move
forward
together,
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
mayor
that
can
assist
us
in
arguing
for
an
equitable
form
of
investment,
more
money
coming
into
our
communities
more
money
to
deal
with
the
inequalities
that
have
been
so
cruelly
exposed
by
the
covid
epidemic.
C
This
is
our
our
moment
to
put
things
to
one
side
and
come
together
and
use
that
evolution
deal
to
really
make
sure
we
have
the
powers
and
to
do
what
we
want.
We
know
devolution
has
a
long
way
to
go
in
england.
We
know
we
won't
get
the
powers
that
we
know
we
need,
but
we
also
know,
through
the
experience
of
our
growth,
deal,
that
when
we
have
more
powers
more
resource,
however
limited
we
make
a
much
better
job
of
delivering
on
behalf
of
our
people.
C
If
we
can
do
it
locally
and
working
with
our
partners
in
our
communities,
I'm
pleased
to
recommend
this
deal
to
council
and
I
look
forward
to
the
discussions
and
debates
going
forward
to
make
sure
that
we
put
ourselves
in
the
best
possible
place
to
get
the
best
deal
for
everyone
in
across
leeds
and
west
yorkshire.
Thank
you,
lord
mayor.
Thank.

So
can
we
go
to
the
votes
and
I'll
call
on
the
whips
of
each
group?
Counselor
