A
There
we
go
okay,
so
welcome
everyone
to
the
september
meeting
of
our
scrutiny
board
before
we
start
the
formal
agenda,
I'd
like
to
go
through
the
board
membership
and
ask
you
all
to
introduce
yourselves
for
any
members
of
the
public
who
are
watching
so
we'll
start
with
neil
neil
buckley.
A
E
A
And
I'm
councillor
paul
truswell,
I
represent
middleton
and
bell
isle
and
I
chair
the
scrutiny
board
so
just
going
through
councillor
shahzad
you're
back
with
us.
Yet.
A
No
okay
I'll
continue
so
first
five
items
appeals.
There
are
non-exclusion
of
public
there,
no
items
for
which
this
is
applicable,
late
items.
There
were
none
declarations
of
interest,
I'm
not
aware
of
any,
but
please
shout
up
at
the
appropriate
time
if
you've
got
any
apologies,
we've
already
had
council,
goddard's
apologies
and
the
introduction
of
councillor
renshaw
as
his
substitute
that
takes
us
on
to
the
item
six,
the
minutes
of
the
last
meeting
and,
in
my
time,
honored
fashion,
I'll
go
through
the
page
by
page.
A
D
D
It's
the
second
bullet
point
down
from
the
top,
where
the
discretionary
grant
scheme
has
been
operated
and
there's
still
time
to
put
in
for
the
finance
that's
available,
I'm
putting
forward
to
schezad
that
he
would
consider
putting
for
discretionary
grants
for
the
taxi
drivers
to
apply
for
mass
for
the
visitors
to
the
taxes,
so
any
person
using
the
taxi
would
have
opportunity
to
put
a
mask
on
that's
one.
The
second
point
is
where
we
come
down
the
bullet
points
on
page
six
and
seven
six,
either
right
where
it
says,
flooding
flood
alleviation
scheme.
D
It's
come
to
my
attention
now
that,
where
flooding
is
concerned,
the
fire
service,
where
shows
the
fires
having
all
the
44
other
40
dealers
services,
have
no
legal
responsibility
for
dealing
with
flooding.
We
as
a
council
need
to
look
at
that
to
see
if
we
are
owed
any
money
at
all
from
defra.
As
regarding,
where
flooding
is
concerned,
looking
after
west
yorkshire
and
south
yorkshire
and
the
recent
flooding
episodes
has
occurred,
okay,
chair.
A
I
I'm
the
director
of
city
development
at
the
council
in
terms
of
the
discretionary
ground
for
what's
recording
in
the
minutes,
is
the
position
at
that
point
in
time.
The
the
scheme
actually
closed.
A
new
application
at
the
end
of
august
and
payments
have
to
go
out
by
the
end
of
september
so
that
there
isn't,
at
this
current
moment
in
time
the
flexibility
to
accept
new
applications.
I
Yes,
yes,
it
is
about
closure
deadline.
In
terms
of
the
flood
scheme,
we
are
in
regular
dialogue
with
the
environment
agency
on
the
delivery
of
flood
measures
across
the
council
through
our
flood
risk
management
team
and
the
projects
that
we're
delivering.
So
in
terms
of
those
finance
opportunities
for
funding
schemes,
we
we're
very
much
alive
to
those
chair,
and
that
includes
the
recent
money
that
we
got
from
government
to
help
fund
the
flu
alleviation
scheme.
Two
that
was
announced
a
few
weeks
ago.
D
Did
I
come
back
there,
martin
well
well,
here
on
where
the
flood
defense
scheme
is.
I
have
no
problem
with
that.
It's
the
legal
responsibility
where
the
west
yorkshire
fighter
service
is
concerned.
We
need
to
get
that
in
the
articles
of
governance.
Are
you
with
me
right
both
in
west
yorkshire
and
the
lee
city
council,
as
a
guardian,
the
legal
aspect
is
regarding
dealing
with
floods.
Are
you
with
me?
That's
what
I'm
bothered
about
martin.
I
Yeah.
Thank
you
councillor.
Graham,
that's
helpful
clarification,
so
perhaps
if,
if
it
helps
chair,
if
I,
if
I
ask
our
flood
risk
manager
to
do
it,
to
do
a
note
on
the
balance
of
those
responsibilities
between
ourselves,
the
environment
agency
responsibilities
that
we
feel
that
the
in
the
context
of
what
council
graham
says
the
fire
authority
does
have
and
then
that
that
note
can
be
made
available
to
members.
If
that
assists.
A
Okay,
thanks
very
much
and
just
to
remind
board
members
that
we
do
actually
have
an
item
at
the
november
meeting
on
flood
risk
management,
where
we
can
also
read:
okay,
counselor
die
and
then
counselor
shahzad.
E
Hi,
yes,
mine's
on
the
same
page
and
it's
the
fourth
bullet
point
down
and
it
reports
about
restarting
bus
provision,
post,
lock
down
and
saying
that
bus
provision
will
increase
capacity
has
been
increased
to
50
percent.
I
just
wondered
if
we
have
any
updates
on
that.
I
know
we're
in
a
very
fluid
situation,
but
I've
been
contacted
by
several
people.
Who've
had
issues
from
young
people
going
into
town
to
attend
colleges.
Now
that
the
colleges
are
back
and
buses.
J
E
K
Yeah
yeah
gary
bartlett,
chief
officer
for
highways
and
transportation,
so
we
had
an
update
from
first,
in
particular
at
the
silver
infrastructure
group
on
monday
and
they're
reporting
that
patronage
levels
are
about
55
of
last
year's
volumes
under
19s
at
70
percent
of
last
year.
Volumes
and
their
mileage
is
at
99
percent
of
pre-covered
levels,
except
for
temple
green
park
and
ride
services,
because
that
remains
the
regional
testing
facility.
So
we're
not
opening
that
one
just
yet.
K
The
issue
is,
as
the
council
has
outlined,
is
that
capacity
on
these
buses
is
at
50
percent
because
of
social
distancing
issues,
so
that
there
will
be
occasions
when
some
buses
will
be
regarded
as
full.
So
it's
about
planning
journeys
ahead
and
being
patient.
Unfortunately,
at
this
time,
but
both
the
bus
operators
and
train
operators
are
reporting
that
that
they
are
trying
to
get
as
close
to
full
timetable
as
possible.
But
it's
the
impact
of
social
distancing,
that's
causing
the
issues
and
we'll
continue
to
do
so.
I'm
afraid.
E
Well,
yeah,
can
I
just
ask
her:
are
there
is
there
a
possibility
of
any
more
buses
being
put
on
at
peak
times,
because
it's
it
just
seems
such
a
shame
when
students
are
back
in
school,
goodness
knows
how
long
they're
going
to
be
back
in
school
and
whilst
they're
there
they're
they're
struggling
to
get
to
their
colleges.
D
K
Yes,
yeah,
I
I
will
certainly
I
I
know
that
they
are
there's
lots
of
contingency
plans
and
certainly
the
return
to
school
was
was
very
effective
in
terms
of
as
it
was
reported
to
me
anyway.
In
terms
of
all
the
contingency
plans
and
the
preparations
that
took
place
by
wyka,
the
combined
authority
and
the
bus
operators,
and
any
issues
that
did
arise
were
resolved
by
moving
buses
around
within
24
hours.
So
there's
been
quite
a
significant
preparations
for
that,
but
I
can
certainly
report
back
into
the
combined
authority.
K
These
concerns
they're
doing
what
they
can
with
the
fleet
available.
But
obviously
it's
a
finite
fleet
and
drivers
are
obviously
finite
as
well
at
the
present
time
and
will
be
affected
by
covert
issues
as
as
well.
But
I'm
more
than
happy
to
report
that
to
the
combined
authority
chair
and
flag
it
up
because
they
have
regular
meetings.
Obviously,
with
the
bus
operators.
H
H
I
could
understand
the
drivers
would
be
able
to
go
out
and
probably
get
their
own
now,
because,
obviously,
if
they
want
to
work,
they've
got
no
other
choice
but
as
a
driver
you've
got
issues,
you
will
be
the
main
transport
provider,
because
the
buses,
as
as
mentioned
by
the
officer,
I'm
not
running
up
full
capacity
and
not
many
people-
are
wanting
to
use
buses
with
the
with
the
number
of
people
on
there.
H
The
drivers
are
suffering
and
they
will
get
customers
who
will
try
and
come
into
the
car
and
say
we
haven't,
got
any
masks.
So
if
he
can
work
with
nhs,
england
or
the
government
and
provide
some
sort
of
whether
it's
those
surgical
masks
or
some
sort
of
mass
that
the
drivers
can
actually
hand
out,
they
don't
have
to
be
a
lot,
maybe
if
they,
if
they
could
all
get
about
10
masks
each.
So
so
those
customers
that
do
come
to
them
and
don't
have
the
masks.
H
It
would
be
really
great
to
offer
them
that
ability
to
be
able
to
give
that
customer
the
mask,
so
they
can
actually
earn
a
living,
whereas
especially
with
the
new
lockdown
rules,
everything
finishing
at
10
o'clock
and
not
not
getting
another
chance
of
probably
another
self-employed
grant.
I
think
the
taxi
drivers
are
going
to
be
hit
really
hard
and,
as
a
council,
we
have
over
6
000
registered
with
leeds
city
council
as
drivers
for
lead
city
council.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
I
don't
see
any
other
hands
on
this
page.
So
moving
on
to
page
seven,
I
don't
know
if
there
are
any
points
in
there.
Could
I
just
raise
one
issue.
The
first
bullet
point.
The
final
sentence
says
that
members
would
receive
ward
level
information
in
terms
of
payouts
of
discretionary
grants.
I'm
not
aware
that
that's
happened
yet.
Is
that
still
the
intention
is
that
still
possible.
L
We,
we
won't
be
sorry.
I
should
introduce
myself
chair,
ethereum
chief
officer
for
economic
development.
We
will
publish
all
the
information
at
ward
level,
but
we're
only
going
to
be
in
a
position
to
do
that.
Once
we've
got
past
the
deadline
of
the
30th
of
september,
because
I'm
sure
members
appreciate
that
our
primary
focus
is
on
appraising
grants
and
getting
that
money
out
the
door
before
the
deadline.
But
we
do
commit
fully
to
making
sure
that
the
information
is
available
in
later
in
the
autumn,
once
we've
processed.
A
A
E
Thank
you,
councillor
lisa
mulholly
announced
robin
hood
and
exec
member
for
climate
change,
transport
and
sustainable
development.
I
Yeah,
I
think
it's
I
mean,
there's
a
report
in
the
pack
that
that
members
have
got
perhaps
as
an
introduction
if
I
just
go
through
some
of
their
headlines
across
the
service
areas,
and
there
are
a
number
of
chief
officers
and
heads
of
service
available
on
this
meeting
that
will
be
able
to
provide
responses
to
any
detailed
questions
in
terms
of
the
the
first
area
looks
at
asset
management,
one
of
the
in
terms
of
our
property
portfolio
within
the
council.
I
One
of
the
key
areas
in
the
report
highlights
the
the
survey
of
staff
working
at
home.
That's
been
undertaken,
there's
more
than
eight
thousand
staff,
currently
working
at
home.
The
outcome
of
that
survey
being
that
52
would
like
to
work
from
home
most
or
all
of
the
time.
I
80
percent
indicated
a
desire
to
continue
to
work
from
home
more
than
half
a
week
and,
quite
importantly,
12
were
unhappy
with
the
current
position
of
working
from
home,
but
taking
the
outcome
of
that
survey
as
a
whole
and
looking
at
the
implications
across
our
property
portfolio,
particularly
our
offices.
I
It
is
the
case
that,
during
july
and
august
we
saw
signs
of
recovery
footfall
currently
at
about
67
and
a
half
percent
of
normal
levels,
so
a
meaningful
improvement
of
where
it
was
during
lockdown,
but
considerably
down
still
on
on
the
normal
position,
and
it
will
be
important
to
see
how
that
trend
continues.
I
In
light
of
the
most
recent
announcements
yesterday
in
terms
of
general
activity
as
well.
Looking
at
traffic
flows
as
a
proxy,
they
tend
to
average
still
at
about
15
down
with
rail
70
percent
lower
than
it
was
pre-locked
down
in
march.
There's
a
in
the
paper.
I
It
outlines
our
our
approach
to
recovery
in
terms
of
the
framework
and
three
core
elements
of
one
responding
where
required
to
support
business
and
the
economy
reset
and
renew
in
terms
of
the
direction
of
part
of
projects
and
partnerships
and
then,
thirdly,
building
resilience.
And
this
is
it
really
about
maintaining
our
long-term
view
on
our
core
strategic
aims,
including
inclusive
economic
growth,
climate
emergency
and
health
and
well-being.
I
We
cover
the
universal
credit
claimants
and
that
in
july
that
had
risen
to
67
174.
That's
a
90
increase
in
claimant
numbers,
both
in
and
out
of
work
prior
to
lockdown,
the
economic
sorry.
The
employment
skills
service
continues
to
support
companies
that
are
going
through
redundancy
processes
and
reducing
staff
numbers.
I
The
service
supported
1382
people
into
work
from
april
to
july
this
year
on
highways
and
transportation.
Some
of
the
headlines
are
that
measures
on
social
distancing
have
been
introduced
on
the
highways
infrastructure.
We
have
a
an
approach
and
a
policy
of
plan
monitor
and
manage
in
terms
of
how
effective
they
are.
That
has
led
to
changes
on
three
sites,
including
wetherby,
being
withdrawn
because
of
the
impacts
it
had
and
concerns
raised
by
ward
members,
and
we
have
the
support
for
schools
through
the
school
streets
initiative
with
six
trials
introduced.
I
Active
travel
measures
have
also
been
brought
forward
that
included
additional
segregation
on
the
cycle
lane
on
the
a65
kirksville
road,
with
further
trial
measures
proposed
on
the
a660
in
terms
of
the
emergency
active
travel
fund.
Leeds
has
received
an
allocation
of
710
000
pounds
of
monies
plus
20
000
pounds
of
revenue
from
the
combined
authority
as
part
of
the
first
phase
of
works.
I
I
The
report
that
you've
got
in
front
of
you
also
picks
on
on
the
position
generally
in
terms
of
the
city
center
and
the
market.
Curt
gate
market
has
remained
operational
throughout
the
pandemic.
Discounts
are
in
place
for
tenants
at
a
minimum
of
25
percent
and
hardship
is
also
being
considered
on
a
case-by-case
basis
where
tenants
require
assistance
greater
than
that
that
discount
footfall
during
january
to
july
in
the
market
is
40
down
from
the
previous
year.
I
It
has
shown
signs
of
recovery
during
july
and
august,
but
how
it,
how
it
recovers,
moving
forward
in
light
of
yesterday's
announcements,
will
be
something
that
we
will
monitor
closely
and
then
in
paris.
3.6.6
of
the
report.
There
are
measures
outlined
in
relation
to
the
city
center
of
the
works
that
we've
we've
undertaken
to
try
and
help
promote
the
city
centre
economy
in
the
retail
economy,
to
recover
and
then,
finally,
in
the
report,
there's
a
section
on
planning
which
outlines
how
the
service
has
remained
operational
throughout
this
period.
I
So
I
mean
that's
the
headline
overview,
counselor
trust
well,
but
happy
for
us
to
receive
any
questions
from
members
on
the
detail
of
the
report.
Thank
you.
B
Yeah,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
chair
and
I
have
to
say
it's
the
most
depressing
situation
that,
in
my
view,
that
we
could
possibly
think
of
really.
But
I
have
two
questions
about
what
martin
has
just
said.
He
mentioned
the
the
survey
of
stuff,
which
is
very
interesting
and
there
are
a
whole.
B
But
the
point
I
wanted
to
make
here
was
that
it
seems
pretty
obvious
that
whenever
all
this
ends
we
are
going
to
end
up
with
a
lot
of
people
working
from
home,
who
weren't
previously,
and
what
strikes
me
is
that
we've
with
a
classic
example
in
in
the
conservative
office,
there's
a
researcher
who
has
worked
for
us
now
and
he
seems
a
lovely
lad,
he's
been
with
us.
What
a
year
nine
months,
ten
months,
no
idea
nobody's
ever
met
him,
and
I
said
to
him
the
other
week.
B
So
that's
my
first
question
and
secondly,
on
the
same
overall
area
shrinking
of
the
estate.
B
If
we
are
turning
a
negative
into
a
positive,
it
would
be
very
interesting
to
have
some
dates
on
when
proposals
actually
come
to
the
council,
about
which
places
are
going
to
be
got
rid
of
and
sold.
Thank
you
chair.
I
Yeah,
thank
you
chair
in
terms
of
the
the
survey
of
the
staff
and
councillor
buckley
raises
an
important
point
in
terms
of
staff
development,
well-being,
people
get
in
the
social
interaction
in
the
office
and
certainly
in
terms
of
the
work
we've
done.
It
is
quite
clear
that
working
from
home
works
for
certain
tasks,
report
writing
clearing
emails,
etc,
but
there
is
that
whole
social
interaction
being
creative.
I
I
I
think
it
certainly
is
the
case
across
a
whole
range
of
areas,
and
this
is
just
one,
but
what
the
impact
of
the
pandemic
has
done
has
quickened
the
pace
of
a
number
of
areas
that
that
were
evident
in
in
any
event
where
we
have
gradually
increased
working
from
home
in
the
council
over
the
past
past
few
years,
but
as
a
consequence
of
the
pandemic,
it's
become
a
necessity
on
a
very
significant
scale
and
it's
a
there
is
a
learning
curve
that
we
we're
rapidly
going
on.
I
In
terms
of
how
we
respond
to
that-
and
I
agree
with
councillor
buckley-
that
the
level
of
home
working
post,
the
pandemic
is
going
to
increase,
but
it
is
important
that
we
pick
up
on
those
aspects
that
counselor
buckley
said
in
terms
of
how
people
interact,
spend
some
time
in
the
office
get
that
training
and
development
and
we're
working
very
closely
with
colleagues
in
our
hr
department
in
the
in
the
council
on
those
measures
to
make
sure
that
that
framework
is
put
in
place
and
I'll.
I
Ask
I'll
ask
perhaps
angela
barnicle
to
touch
on
that
further
in
a
moment.
But
before
I
do
in
terms
of
the
second
question
that
you
raised
councillor
buckley,
we
have
a
report
going
to
executive
board
tomorrow
in
terms
of
shrinking
this
age.
One
of
the
proposals
that
we're
saying
is
to
bring
properties
forward
through
auction
for
disposal
and
that's
simply
a
measure
of
gaining
certainty
on
the
disposal
within
a
time
frame,
particularly
at
a
time
of
economic
uncertainty.
I
Where
option
is
a
more
deliverable
method
for
properties
of
a
certain
size.
If
they
get
belong
beyond
a
certain
size
and
value,
then
auction
isn't
isn't
necessarily
the
best
group,
but
for
the
smaller
properties
it
is
there's
an
auction
in
october
that
we'll
be
using
we're
also
looking
at
auctions
in
december
and
february.
I
So
we
will
bring
forward
the
appropriate
reports
through
executive
board
to
help
us
bringing
anything
forward
that
we
plan
to
in
december
and
february
with
the
appropriate
ward
member
consultation.
That
will
go
alongside
that.
So
I
don't
know
if
angela
wants
to
make
any
further
comments
on
the
on
the
staff
development
question.
The
council
of
buckley
raised.
M
Thank
you,
chair
hi,
I'm
angela
barnacle,
I'm
the
chief
officer
for
asset
management
and
regeneration.
Thank
you,
martin,
just
to
touch
on
counselor
buckley's
comment
about
and
board.
Oh
sorry,
onboarding,
our
new
colleagues
and
particularly
cohorts
of
our
workforce
who
have
struggled
at
home.
M
We
also
found
that
actually,
the
people
who
struggle
the
most
will
probably
are
a
younger
cohort
who
obviously
work
was
a
huge
part
of
their
social
environment
and
also
are
perhaps
in
in
housing,
where
they're
either
shared
and
don't
have
that
safe
space
to
be
able
to
work
in
a
confidential
or
a
a
quiet
way
or
actually
are
on
the
first
run
of
the
housing
ladder
and
do
not
have
that
ability
to
have
that
separation
of
space
within
their
home.
M
So
we
quickly
made
space
available
within
our
covid
secure
estate
to
make
sure
those
people
who
needed
to
be
in
a
safe
environment
had
the
access
to
do
that,
and
so
at
the
minute
we
have
a
thousand
desks
available
throughout
our
portfolio
for
people
who
want
to
come
back
in
and
we
are
nowhere
near
that
capacity.
M
In
light
of
the
guidance
that's
coming
out
and
the
restrictions
that
were
announced
yesterday,
we're
just
reviewing
about
what
that
means
within
our
estate,
but
our
estate
is
covered,
secure
and
where
people
need
a
safe
environment
for
wellbeing
or
productivity
reasons.
We
will
certainly
be
working
really
hard
to
make
sure
that
that
is
available
and,
as
martin
said,
we're
working
extremely
closely
with
our
facilities,
management,
colleagues
and
also
our
human
resources.
M
Colleagues,
about
making
sure
that,
when
we
are
taking
on
new
people
that
they
are
feeling
embedded
into
into
the
team
as
soon
as
possible-
and
I
certainly
know
that
members
of
colleagues
on
this
call
have
had
new
recruits
and
they
have
done
various
amounts
of
things
to
make
sure
that
people
felt
welcomed
into
the
organization
and
actually
had
some
some
contact
and
got
to
know
their
networks.
B
No,
I
I
I
I
just
make
a
brief
comment.
I
I
thank
both
officers.
Actually,
it's
very
helpful,
but
just
a
brief
comment
really
that
users,
obviously
like
the
council
of
large
commercial
properties
or
small
commercial
properties
for
that
matter,
in
the
city
centres,
leaving
the
city
center
retailers
fleeing
city
centres,
it's
a
pretty
depressing
prospect.
Isn't
it.
A
Okay,
thanks
for
that,
I've
got
jonathan
taylor,
neil
dawson,
who
waved
a
physical
human
hand
rather
than
an
icon
at
me,.
G
A
G
Thank
you
on.
Thank
you,
chair,
3.3.5,
discretionary
grant
funding.
I
didn't
get
an
opportunity
to
speak
on
the
white
paper
that
council
matthew
robinson
put
forward
last
time.
I
just
missed
out.
G
I
kind
of
feel
that
three
months
and
a
thousand
applicants
should
have
been
enough
to
get
this
money
out
the
door
after
we
raised
it
at
the
scrutiny
board
over
the
last
two
scrutiny
meetings,
we've
had
were
any
representations
made
to
government
about
giving
grants
to
businesses
such
as
what
councillor
shahzad
mentioned
earlier
on,
who
may
have
not
received
any
support
or
maybe
received
other
support
and
therefore
didn't
qualify,
and
that
was
a
question
I
have
asked
previously
3.5.7.
G
I
think
colleagues
on
this
board
have
said
that
the
school's
street
scheme
has
been
welcomed
by
staff
and
parents
where
it
has
been
where
it's
been
implemented,
but
all
schools
don't
qualify
so
other
longer
term
plans
to
engage
with
schools
about
how
how
potentially
the
highway
could
be
altered
to
accommodate
a
safer,
walk
to
and
from
school.
G
G
I've
had
an
email
this
morning
about
a
proposed
active
travel
scheme
in
the
horzwith
ward,
but
it
isn't
listed
in
this
table
and
is
there
a
reason
for
that
and
finally,
at
3.7.3
I
feel
referring.
Applications
to
panel
has
been
inconsistent
and
in
some
cases
I
think
has
been
rushed.
G
Martin,
I'm
asking
you
if
you
will
delay
this
until
we
can
have
a
proper
discussion
between
yourself
and
ward
members
and
also
why
such
a
short
period
of
time
has
been
allocated
to
this
to
this
application
going
from
an
officer
recommendation
to
city
plans
panel.
Thank
you,
chair.
A
I
I
If
I
ask
eve
to
respond
to
counsellor
taylor
on
the
discretionary
grants
and
particularly
picking
up
on
the
points
on
representations
that
we've
made,
I
think
drawing
out
the
process
that
we
have
to
go
through
in
terms
of
checking
and
appraising
applications,
and
that,
in
turn,
will
allow
eve
to
outline
at
the
extent
of
any
applications
that
you
know
could
potentially
have
been
been
fraudulent
or
or
or
wrongly
presented.
I
And
then,
if,
if
I
ask
gary
to
look
at
the
school
streets
issues,
the
beast
and
neighborhood
active
travel
and
the
horse
with
active
travel
and
then
I'll
come
back
to
councillor
taylor
on
the
specific
planning
comments
he
made
in
relation
to
horsepower.
If
I
structure
it
that
way,
council,
okay.
L
Okay,
thank
you,
martin,
thank
you
chair,
so
on
the
discretionary
grant
fund,
just
briefly
to
explain.
The
the
discretionary
grant
fund
takes
significant
officer
time
compared
to
the
initial
grant
funds,
because,
because
the
business
may
not
be
known
to
us
through
the
rates
database,
we
are
obliged
naturally
to
to
make
checks
around
that
business
to
ensure
exactly
as
the
chair
was
implying,
that
as
a
legitimate
business,
but
also
to
check
their
application
against
the
criteria
that
were
set.
L
So
from
a
standing
start,
we
were
able
to
design
that
scheme
put
in
place
the
applications
and
open
from
june
for
the
first
four
weeks
of
applications,
during
which
time
we
receive
962
applications
for
that
first
phase,
and
it
then
obviously
takes
time
to
look
at
each
one
of
those.
So
we
used
the
whole
of
june
and
july
to
go
through
those
and
we
were
enable
initially
to
approve
447
of
those
applications.
L
The
main
reasons
for
those
applications
not
being
approved
in
that
first
phase
was
because
they'd
either
already
received
a
grant
through
the
first
set
of
schemes
or
over
around
137
businesses,
or
they
were
trading
from
a
domestic
property.
There
was
those
were
the
main
reasons
and
we
made
some
so
during
july
we
began
the
discussions
about
adjustments
to
the
scheme
for
a
phase
two
and
at
the
point
where
we
were
about
to
launch
that
we
were
informed
by
central
government
that
the
scheme
was
going
to
be
closed
at
the
end
of
august.
L
At
that
point,
we
made
representation
within
days
collectively
with
the
other
west
yorkshire
authorities
to
the
senior
civil
servant
responsible
for
the
discretionary
grant
fund,
because
not
just
ourselves,
but
other
local
authorities
were
in
a
very
similar
position
in
terms
of
the
number
of
grants.
They'd
been
able
to
process
at
that
stage,
and
we
collectively
requested
that
we
could
have
at
least
eight
weeks
to
process
grants.
L
I'm
pleased
to
say
that,
since
the
beginning
of
september,
we've
been
able
to
process,
you
know
2.8
million
pounds
worth
of
grants
through
the
team,
which
is
kind
of
a
kind
of
incredible
effort.
L
Really,
we
did
make
a
second
representation
council
taylor
at
the
end
of
the
when
the
scheme
closed
at
the
end
of
august,
because
we
have
been
in
correspondence
with
a
number
of
home-based
businesses
who
are
in
desperate
circumstances
who
are
naturally
turning
to
the
council
for
support,
and
we
have
made
representation
again
into
bays
to
those
senior
servants
around
highlighting
these
issues
and
we'll
continue
to
do
so
through
the
channels
that
both
tom,
as
our
chief
executive,
has
through
the
core
city
groups
and
channels
and
through
our
finance
director,
as
officers
through
the
officer
route,
as
opposed
to
any
political
lobbying.
L
So
I
hope
that
kind
of
addresses
the
point.
If
there's
any
sorry
chair,
you
asked
about
any
fraudulent,
so
I
couldn't
give
you
a
specific
number.
But
yes,
we
have
had
some
applications
which
usually
usually
we
hope,
we've
filtered
out
at
the
beginning
in
terms
of
the
checks
that
we
make
on
an
application
at
the
start
before
they
go
into
appraisal
in
terms
of
checking
a
company's
house
that
they're
registered
if
they
are
registered
and
various
other
ways
to
check
that
they're,
a
legitimate
business.
A
K
Terry,
if
I
come
back
in
now
and
try
and
deal
with
some
of
the
traffic
ones,
I
I
will
rely
on
andrew
to
help
with
some
of
the
detailed
detail
behind
some
of
the
questions,
because
I
I
won't,
I
won't
have
that
and
andrew
will
be
a
bit
closer.
But
so,
if
I
make
a
couple
of
general
comments
first,
obviously
we've
worked
with
schools
for
many
a
year
to
encourage
safe,
walking
to
school
and
that's
a
process
that
continues
and-
and
we
have
regular
contact
with
schools
to
encourage
that.
K
As
is
being
said,
school
streets
initiative
has
been
very
popular
and
we
are
receiving
lots
of
requests
to
repeat
this
across
the
city.
But
given
the
the
the
level
of
detail,
that's
required
for
those
schemes
and
and
our
resources,
we
we
will
have
to
be
careful
how
we
pick
those
going
forward.
So
it's
a
very
positive
story
in
that
they're
going
down
very
well
on
site
and
we
are
receiving
more
requests,
but
in
those
circumstances
it's
difficult
to
then
meet
demand.
K
But
clearly
we
do
want
to
expand
that
initiative
as
much
as
we
can.
There
was
a
comment
made
about
a
recent
contact.
I
think
in
the
last
24
hours
regarding
cycling
schemes.
That's
not
part
of
what
we're
talking
about
here.
That's
slightly
different
in
terms
of
it's
related
to
a
city,
connect
type
scheme,
a
scheme
between
horsefirst
and
broadly
roundabout
and
and
colleagues
will
be
in
touch
with
ward
members
again
soon
to
set
up
a
meeting
to
go
through
the
detail
of
that.
K
So
if
councillor
taylor
can
just
bear
that
in
mind
that
that
we'll
be
making
contact
in
the
near
future-
and
I
think
probably
the
final
comment
from
me
at
this
stage-
martin
referenced
phase,
one
of
the
emergency
active
travel
fund-
we've
got
that
we
did
put
a
bid
in
for
the
second
round
of
that.
K
Unfortunately,
the
government
decision
around
that
is
delayed.
It's
got
a
very
tight
time
scale
in
terms
of
implementation
on
the
ground,
so
we
are
desperate
to
hear
from
government
about
the
allocation
of
that
second
bid
as
soon
as
possible.
It's
it's
a
few
weeks
behind
now.
So
we
are
in
touch
with
the
combined
authority
to
understand
where
that
announcement
is.
But
we
understand
it's
with
ministers
and
we'll
hear
soon.
N
Hello
chair.
Sorry,
I've
got
a
bit
of
a
problem
with
the
video,
so
hopefully
you
can
hear
me
audio
wise.
So
just
unless.
N
N
So
we
we
pretty
much
the
the
the
14
schools
that
are
now
in
the
trial,
and
it
is
a
trial,
are
the
ones
that
we
judge
to
have
the
best
benefit
of
success.
N
Opportunity
for
success
with
the
funding
that
we've
got
available,
the
trials
will
be
evaluated
and
the
question
then
beyond
that
would
be
how
we
roll
out
and
how
we
resources,
as
gary's
touched
on
in
terms
of
there,
was
a
question
about
the
beast:
inactive
travel,
neighborhood,
we're
still
in
the
process
of
engaging
with
the
community
on
that
scheme.
So
no
work
has
been
done
to
implement
a
scheme
in
beeston
that
is
still
in
the
process
of
engagement,
and
there
has
been
discussions
with
the
local
war
members
on
that
scheme.
N
So
that's
the
position
with
beeston.
Some
further
engagement
is
due
to
take
place
in
the
beginning
in
the
next
few
days,
and
I
think
that
probably
does
address
counselor
taylor's
questions.
I
Yeah,
thank
you
chair.
So
I've
been
the
final
question
related
to
a
planning
application
in
in
councillor
taylor's
ward.
I
think
the
best
approach
to
councillor
taylor
is.
If
I
speak
to
the
chief
planning
officer,
you
asked
if
I
would
make
a
decision
for
it
to
not
go
panelists
this
time.
I
I
I
actually
don't
have
delegations
of
the
planning
application.
So
it's
not
a
decision
that
that
I
could
make
if
I
was
minded
to
do
so.
I
think
it's
probably
best.
I
If
I
speak
to
the
chief
plan
office
planning
officer
facilitator
a
direct
discussion
that
you
can
help
with
the
chief
planning
officer
and
then
he
can
have
those
conversations
with
the
chair
of
the
relevant
plans
panel
in
terms
of
how
they
then
choose
to
consider
that
that
point
that
you
raise.
Thank
you.
Chad,.
G
Yeah
and
firstly,
thank
you
to
eve
gary
and
andrew
for
your
answers
and
martin
as
well
just
two
points.
I'm
satisfied
with
with
most
of
what
I've
heard.
Just
two
points,
though,
on
the
if
andrew
could
expand
on
the
beast
and
active
travel
proposals,
there
must
have
been
some
response,
considering
that
a
zoo
meeting
has
been
set
up
to
try
and
explain
this
further.
Is
it
that
the
local
people
aren't
happy
with
the
proposals,
or
has
it
not
been
explained
thoroughly
enough?
G
What's
the
what's
the
move
behind
that
particular
call,
and
just
back
to
martin,
I
mean
two
and
a
half
weeks
from
to
send
something
to
panel.
It's
just
it's
it's
outrageous.
G
When
the
documents
haven't
been
set
up
to
haven't
been
uploaded
to
the
to
the
portal
I
mean,
I
know
you
say
that
it's
not
within
your
remit,
but
this
is
this
is
the
most
significant
development
in
my
ward,
two
and
a
half
weeks
surely
can't
be
within
the
proper
governance
of
this,
and
if
there
is
a
comment
on
that,
I
would
appreciate
it.
Thank
you,
chair.
A
N
Yes
chair,
so
in
answer
to
councillor
taylor's
question,
the
beast
and
the
beeston
scheme
is
quite
complicated
in
china.
What
we
achieve
in
beeston,
we
have
done
quite
a
lot
of
pre-engagement
before,
as
the
bid
was
going
through,
but
one
of
the
issues
we
had
as
there's
been
an
administrative
mix-up
in
terms
of
some
of
the
communication
with
the
community
and-
and
that
has
been
the
cause
of
some
of
this
delay,
so
that
that
is
the
honest
answer
to
that,
and
there
is.
N
There
is
some
work
in
in
hand
as
well
to
have
an
online
question
and
answer
on
the
scheme
as
part
of
the
the
engagement
process
it.
I
have
to
say
that
this
is
part
of
the
learning
of
working
in
this
sort
of
covered
environment.
Where
yeah
we
haven't
got
the
team
in
the
office.
We
were,
as
colleagues
have
said,
in
the
process
of
moving
to
a
position
where
we
could
have
small
teams
working
in
the
office.
N
Now
that
remains
to
be
seen
given
the
change
in
the
rules,
but
that
that
administrative
mix-up
was
largely
due
to
multiple
parties
working
on
kobe.
I
E
It
wasn't
that
extreme.
It
was
actually
on
the
the
beast
in
question
that
council
taylor
asked
just
to
say
that
the
public
engagement
has
been
requested
by
local
ward
members
so
that
their
local
residents
can
have
an
opportunity
to
raise
their
questions
and
have
them
answered
by
officers.
So
they
can
clear
up
any
misconceptions
about
the
proposals
there.
H
A
I
Well,
I
will
raise
the
the
matters
with
the
chief
planning
officer,
but
I
don't
want
to
be
seen
to
be.
You
know,
applying
any
influence,
as
I
shouldn't
be
on
on
a
live
planning
application.
So
I
mean,
I
think,
you've
you've
expressed
your
concerns
very
clearly
and
I've.
I've
noted
that
counselor
taylor
and
I
will
be
making
sure
that
the
chief
planning
officer
is
aware
of
them
and
speaks
to
you
directly
on
them.
D
Thank
you
chair
two
issues.
I'd
like
to
speak
on
the
first
one
is,
I
mean
regarding
economic
activity
in
the
we've
got
information
about
the
city
center,
but
do
we
gather
any
intelligence
or
information
about
the
out
of
town,
centers
and,
and
I
mean
I'm
thinking
particularly
my
world
molly
town
center
and
the
white
road
center
of
economic
footfall
there
and
economic
activity,
and
my
second
question
is
around
the
pack
and
ride
facility
ellen
road,
which
I
welcome,
the
re-opening,
but
in
terms
of
being
as
a
covered,
secure
manner.
D
My
experiences
is
not
that
it's
not
that
one
when
I've
been
on
it,
that
there
were
passengers
not
wearing
masks
and
the
driver
didn't
believe
it
was
his
responsibility
to
enforce
that.
D
I
mean
he
wouldn't
say
who
it
was,
but
you
know
it's
just
that
I'm
concerned
that
you
know
we're
not
operating
in
in
the
covert
scale
manner
that
we
think
we
are.
It's
not
my
experience.
So
and
again
I
appreciate
there's
no
one
on
from
the
operators
or
from
weica,
but
if
it
can
be
relayed
to
them
that
you
know
it's
not
operating
as
as
we
think
it
might
be.
A
L
Yes,
in
terms
of
the
specifics
of
questions
around
data
about
footfall,
we,
we
don't
have
many
football
counters
outside
the
city
centre,
but
it
is
something
that
I'm
working
with
stephen
blackburn,
who
leads
on
smart
cities
around
trying
to
increase
the
number
of
footfall
councils.
So
we
can
collect
more
data
and
just
an
a
broader
sort
of
long
term
piece
as
part
of
economic
recovery.
L
We
have
got
work
underway
at
looking
at
the
data
we
have
around
districts
and
city
centres
and
considering
how
we
can
bring
that
together
with
kind
of
discussion
with
colleagues
across
the
city,
so
that
we
can
start
to
understand
the
impacts
more
deep,
deeply
and
determine
our
best
policy
interventions
going
forwards
on
that
work.
K
On
the
park
and
ride,
that's
the
first
time
I've
heard
that
it's
an
issue
on
our
park
and
ride
service.
It's
it
is
a
problem
on
a
on
general
bus
services
and
that's
been
reported
not
just
in
leeds
but
across
the
piece
across
the
nation
as
an
issue,
and
a
lot
of
effort
is
going
in
to
improve
communications,
to
make
that
compliance.
K
Much
better
train
operators
are
reporting
and
at
the
train
station
good
level
of
compliance,
because
they,
if
you
like
it's
operating
as
a
closed
system
and
that
people
are
able
to
be
persuaded
to
put
them
on,
but
across
the
city
the
size
of
leeds.
It
is
difficult
on
bus
services.
So
we
are
raising
that
as
an
issue
not
just
locally
but
nationally
as
well.
K
I
I
will
certainly
speak
to
colleagues
about
ellen
road,
then,
and
in
particular,
because
that
is
more
of
a
closed
system,
and
I
I
would
have
thought
that
we
would
be
able
to
influence
that
a
bit
more.
As
I
say,
it's
the
first
time
I've
heard
of
it
in
relation
to
our
services,
we're
very
pleased
that
ellen
road
is
back
and
up
and
running
and
numbers
are
increasing
slightly,
but
we're
often
going
to
have
to
review
it
given
recent
announcements.
K
But
I
will
pick
that
up
with
colleagues
and
the
combined
authority
and
first
after
this
meeting.
D
I
mean
I
mean
I
thank
gary
for
his
comment
and,
as
I
said,
you
know
it,
it's
just
a
concern
and-
and
it
is
up
you
know,
and
in
terms
of
economic
activity,
I'm
sure
places
like
the
white
rose
centre
must
be
aware
of
their
economic
activity
and
football.
So
we
should
be
able
to
get
information.
D
K
Thank
you,
sorry,
chad,
I
should
have.
I
should
have
made
it
clear
that
the
the
bus
operators
generally
have
taken
a
stance
that
they
it's
not
their:
the
bus
operators
and
their
drivers.
It's
not
their
responsibility
to
do
the
enforcement
just
because
of
the
the
likely
difficulty
that
they
might
encounter
with
certain
members
of
of
the
public.
K
So
it
is
different
from
train
operating
circumstances,
so
it
is
dependent
on
effective
communications
and
and
individual
responsibility
to
heed
the
warnings
that
have
been
clearly
given
and
for
people
to
wear
masks
in
public
places
as
directed
and
we're
in
that
circumstance.
In
many
respects,
it's
like
drink
driving
and
speeding.
It's
an
individual
responsibility,
and
we
need
that
to
happen
here.
I
Yes,
joe,
it
was
just
in
relation
to
councillor
dawson's
query.
On
white
rose,
I
mean
through
our
key
account
management.
We
do.
We
do
keep
regular
liaison
with
land
securities
who
who
own
and
operate
both
trinity
and
white
rose.
I
know
through
speaking
to
them
that
the
football
at
trinity
is
about
70
of
normal,
so
it's
tracking,
broadly,
where
I
said
the
city
centre
was
and
that
they
fed
back.
I
The
white
rose
was
higher
and
and
closer
to
more
normal
footfall
traffic,
but
they
will
have
that
data
and
I'll
be
able
to
get
it
for
you,
councillor
dawson.
C
Thanks
chad,
some
of
my
questions
have
been
addressed,
so
thank
you
to
others.
Who've
asked
them.
I
have
a
question
about
the
do.
We
have
much
data
on
the
impact
on
apprenticeship
schemes
and
how
they've
been
affected
during
the
crisis
and
and
obviously
how
that's
affected
our
younger
people
in
employment
and
also
any
information
on
our
people.
Who've
recently
been
made
redundant
being
able
to
access
skills
and
training.
J
Thank
you
chair.
Yes,
we
know
that
in
the
first
phase
of
lockdown
apprenticeship
starts
nationally
and
locally
fell
anywhere
between
half
and
75
and
to
a
degree.
This
was
understandable,
because
not
only
my
employers
find
that
difficult
to
look
at
starting
new
entrants,
colleges
and
universities
and
all
the
training
providers
were
also
closed.
J
The
situation
has
recovered
somewhat
since
then,
and
up
to
the
end
of
quarter
three
in
leeds
we
had
over
4
000
starts
in
the
current
academic
year.
The
quarter
four
figures
won't
be
available
till
october
november.
J
So
I
can't
tell
you
to
the
end
of
the
academic
year,
which
is
the
end
of
july,
but
to
the
end
of
the
third
quarter.
J
It
was
over
four
thousand
and
that's
found
about
37
percent
less
than
normal,
and
if
you
compare
that
to
the
national
figure
is
kind
of
tracking
the
national
trend,
so
apprenticeship
numbers
are
down,
and
I
think
of
concern
to
certainly
the
two
fe
colleges
in
the
city
is
whether
or
not
all
apprentices
that
were
furloughed
will
return
to
work
and
whether
or
not
they
might
be
subject
to
redundancy
and
that's
something
that
we're
all
keeping
a
close
eye
on.
J
Having
said
that,
we
still
do
have
businesses
coming
forward,
wishing
to
start
apprenticeships
and
the
government's
plan
for
jobs
2020
made
for
the
subsidies
available
to
employers
who
start
an
apprenticeship
between
now
and
january,
and
we
are
promoting
that
locally
and
in
fact,
at
the
leeds
digital
festival
festival.
We
have
a
session
targeted
at
digital
companies
in
terms
of
how
to
employ
an
apprentice
and
the
support
that's
available
in
the
city
to
enable
them
to
do
that.
J
J
Yes,
we
have
a
number
of
businesses
coming
to
us
with,
with
their
plans
about
redundancy
and
seeking
early
engagement
and
support
for
staff,
they're
a
risk
of
redundancy,
and
we
are
engaging
with
those
we
are
also
working
with
jobcentre,
plus
so
the
who
have
a
rapid
response
team.
That's
specifically
designed
to
work
with
employers
that
are
looking
to
make
staff
redundant.
J
So
we
are
aligning
our
efforts
so
that
we
can
play
each
to
their
area
of
expertise
and
strength.
So
there
are
resources
and
support
available,
and
despite
lockdown
and
despite
the
difficulties
of
providing
that
support,
largely
online,
we
have
supported
over
1548
people
into
work
since
april,
which
is
not
hugely
down
on
our
usual
numbers.
So
people
are
accessing
the
support
and
it
is
proving
successful
for
some.
H
Thank
you,
yeah.
The
problem
coming
at
the
rear
end
of
all
this
is
that
both
questions
have
sort
of
been
touched
upon.
I
initially
wanted
to
follow
on
from
councillor
buckley's
comments
with
regards
to
our
staff
and
and
the
wider
staff
working
in
offices
in
the
city
center.
H
But
initially
what
worries
me
is
that
some
staff
may
be
wanting
to
work
from
home
because
there
are
hidden
issues
around
their
their
place
of
work
which
has
become
their
home
and
I
think
it'd
be
useful
for
angela
just
to
say
what
we're
doing
about
trying
to
assess
and
find
out
whether
there
are
problems.
I
I
certainly
know
that
some
staff
want
to
come
back
in
for
different
reasons.
H
Some
of
them
are
good
and
some
of
them
not
are
not
so
good,
and
I
guess
it's
the
reverse
as
well
that
someone
to
stay
at
home
for
for
reasons
that
are
not
good
for
their
health
or
others
health.
Secondly,
it's
one
to
martin
around
plans
panels.
I
don't
want
to
touch
on
any
live
planning
applications,
but
there
doesn't
seem
to
be
a
great
deal
of
consistency
amongst
the
three
plans
panels.
H
I'm
I'm
certainly
having
an
issue
with
it
upon
an
application
in
my
world,
getting
it
to
panel
counselor
taylor
seems
to
have
an
issue
with
an
application
coming
to
panel
too
quickly.
There
is
no
consistency.
Members
of
the
public
expect
us
to
know
exactly
what
is
happening,
whether
it
be
the
same
as
it
was
before
or
or
changed,
and
it
does
seem
to
be
the
plans.
H
H
So
it's
a
wider
how
plans
panels
are
going
to
work
for
the
foreseeable
future,
because
I
think
we
I
was
hoping
we're
going
to
get
to
a
hybrid
plans
panel,
but
I
fear
that
with
the
new
regulations
that
may
not
come
as
quickly
as
I
would
like
it,
and
secondly,
probably
one
two
to
gary
with
regards
to
ellen
road
park
and
ride.
H
I've
noticed
that
the
numbers
at
eleanor
road
pack
and
ride
are
tiny
compared
with
what
we
previously
had,
and
so
that
does
does
reflect
on
the
fact
that
I
think
cancer
day
had
concerns
about
people
not
being
able
to
get
on
buses
on
some
corridors
that
are
overfilled
and
that
really
we
should
be
relocating
buses
onto
corridors
that
are
busy
corridors,
particularly
taking
students
in
my
own
buses
are
not
particularly
full
at
all,
and
certainly
in
the
morning
peak
they're,
not
full.
They
tend
to
get
four
as
they
are
past.
H
Nine
concessional
passovers
come
out
to
use
them,
but
it's
it's
an
issue
with
getting
those
buses
that
we
have
the
limited
number
of
buses.
We
have
in
the
right
place
at
the
right
time,
thanks
jeff.
A
Okay,
thank
you
paul
angela,
before
I
bring
you
in,
could
I
just
piggyback
on
the
first
question
that
councilor
wadsworth
asked
about
the
responses
to
the
working
from
home
survey
and
there's
12
percent
of
staff,
we
were
unhappy.
Could
you
give
us
some
feel
for
the
reasons
that
were
expressed
in
that
regard?
A
Could
I
also
seek
assurance
that,
in
terms
of
the
overall
working
from
home
strategy
that
trade
unions
have
been
very
closely
engaged
in
the
broader
issues
around
that
and
finally,
are
there
any
implications
for
any
of
our
frontline
staff
in
terms
of
the
provision
of
ppe
and
if
there
are
have
we
got
sufficient
supply
now
and
in
the
future,
so
I'll
piggyback
that
one
and
then
I'll
come
on
to
to
to
the
questions
that
were
posed
to
martin
and
to
gary.
Thank
you.
M
Thank
you
chair
and
morning,
councilor
woodsworth,
so
I'll
take
this
question
in
a
couple
of
parts
and,
firstly,
start
with.
Obviously
homework
is
not
new
to
our
organization.
M
It's
something
that
we've
been
doing
for
a
long
time
and
certainly
the
changing
the
workplace
program
has
been
going
on
for
for
a
long
time,
so
home
working
actually
allowed
us
that
resilience
to
when
we
had
to
do
it
by
necessity,
to
pivot
very
quickly
to
doing
that
for
a
lot
of
people,
some
8,
the
survey
when
it
went
out
was
a
bespoke
working
from
home
survey.
M
What
we
were
asking
them
is,
you
know,
should
we
and
when
we
get
on
a
life
of
the
other
side
of
the
pandemic,
what
do
people
want
to
see
from
our
workplace
so
that,
at
the
same
time,
we
can
between
tracking
what
our
estate
strategy
needs
to
look
like?
So
we
were
asking
people
about
what
works
well
at
home,
what
doesn't
work
so
well
at
home
and
on
a
general
rule
of
thumb?
What
percentage
of
your
time
do
you
think
you
could
remain
working
at
home
and
you
would
want
to
come
into
the
office.
M
So
the
reasons
that
people
wanted
to
come
into
the
office
were
for
collaboration.
We're
for
training
with
face
was
for
that
social
interaction,
but
on
the
broad
scale
they
didn't
want
to
do
it
as
often
as
they
had
done
previously.
So
it
was
more
concentrated
quantities
and
you
asked
about
the
about
about
what
does
our
organization
need
from
our
staff
as
well
as
what
do
they
want
and
that's
where
we
are
at
the
minute
we're
working
out?
M
Obviously,
our
colleagues
aren't
working
remotely
without
any
contact
from
their
line
manager
and
that's
something
through
the
manager
comms
that
goes
out.
Weekly
we've
been
encouraging
and
making
sure
that
that
line
managers
are
in
regular
contact,
if
not
in
physical
contact,
but
by
phone
by
email
by
things
like
microsoft,
teams
and
zooms,
so
that
they
are
connected
into
the
business.
M
Does
that
answer
your
question?
Councilman
wadsworth,
before
I
move
on
to
councillor
trustworthy.
H
I'm
I'm
I'm
reassured
in
what
you're
doing
I
I
just
do
feel
that
you
know
I
I
guess
you've
not
had
to
the
helpline
and
a
colleague
who
has
come
and
said
you
know
I'm
having
to
work
from
home,
but
I'd
really
like
to
get
away
from
a
violent
partner
because
they're
not
going
to
say
that
sort
of
thing
in
any
area
where
it
could
be
checked
upon
or
or
tracked
upon,
whereas
if
they
were
face-to-face
meeting
a
wire
manager,
the
I'm
managing
may
well
pick
it
up
from
other
things
and
body
language,
and
that
sort
of
thing
it's
it's
something
that
you
know
as
an
employer.
H
You
do
pick
up
in
the
workplace
that
things
are
not
quite
right,
and
then
you
start
to
dig
and
it's
surprising
when
you
start
to
dig
what
you
find.
Sometimes
you
know
with
it
within
that,
and
I
feel
that
that
is.
That
is
what
we
could
be
missing
and
that
could
develop
could
be
something
small
now
and
because
there's
no
interaction
with
the
employer
in
the
workplace
absolutely
face
to
face
and
that
that's
my
concern
around
it
all.
H
And
it's
not
just
with
the
council,
it's
my
concern
across
all
employers
in
the
city
that
there
could
be
this
this
behind
the
closed
door
which
we're
not
getting
to
as
quickly
as
possible.
You
know,
and
that's
that's
that's
my
real
concern
about
asking
the
question
is
that
we
need
to
get
you
know
beyond
what
is
sometimes
put
in
a
survey
or
sometimes
said
to
people.
You
know
I
just
look
at
this
screen
now
and
I'm
not.
H
The
number
of
cameras
are
off
for
various
reasons.
I
guess
you
know
I'm
one
who
turns
my
camera
off
to
do
various
things
you
know,
but
if
you
were
in
a
meeting
and
that
was
constant
by
one
person,
would
you
pick
that
up
that
as
a
particular
person
never
has
their
camera
on
and
is
there
a
reason
behind
that?
You
know
that's
the
sort
of
thing
that
face
to
face
couldn't
be
hidden.
Okay,
thanks
paul.
I.
J
J
A
M
A
K
Shall
I
do
the
ellen
road
one
chair?
Yes,
please
so
yeah,
quite
rightly
at
the
moment,
the
the
numbers
are
some
way
down
from
where
they
were
precovered.
We
expect
that
I
have
to
say
they
are
slightly
higher
than
I
was
anticipating.
K
The
last
figures
I
saw
were
about
200
to
250
cars
a
day
were
using
the
site
and
it
was
increasing,
but
obviously
the
announcements
in
the
last
24
hours
we'll
have
to
see
what
impact
that
has,
and
obviously
it
is
reliant
on
government
funding
and
whether
that
continues
so
we'll
keep
it
completely
under
review
on
a
regular
basis.
K
It's
a
very
strange
situation
with
the
bus
services
and
the
traffic
flows
at
the
moment,
where
all
day
traffic
flows,
as
martin
said,
are,
are
quite
close
to
normal
levels,
pre-covered
levels,
probably
within
about
10
to
15
percent
and
getting
closer
day
by
day,
but
the
am
peak
is
still
some
distance
or
off
pre-covered
levels.
It's
about
26
off
and,
as
I've
said
before
at
this
meeting,
if
you
remember,
I
think
that
school
holidays
in
normal
circumstances,
when
you
see
the
dramatic
drop-off
in
congestion
levels.
K
Normally,
that
equates
to
about
a
10
drop
off
in
traffic
flows,
10
to
15
percent,
we're
talking
about
a
26
drop
off
at
the
moment
in
the
am
peak,
and
that
is
really
significant
and
that's
why
it's
so
very
quiet
early
in
the
morning,
but
it
is
getting
busier
during
the
day
and
so
bus
operators
and
ourselves
are
just
getting
used
to
this
dynamic
situation
and
they
are
working
to
understand
where
the
issues
are
and
moving
vehicles
as
and
when
they
can.
K
I
I
suppose
all
I
could
really
say
is
that
if
councillors
have
specific
examples
of
where
there
are
problems
on
particular
bus
services,
please
feel
free
if
you
have
contacts
with
the
combined
authority
because
they
are
in
daily
contact
with
the
bus
operators.
Please
feed
that
intelligence
information
through
to
them.
Alternatively,
we'd
be
happy
to
pass
it
on
and
and
hopefully
then
would
be
able
to
address
some
of
the
issues,
but
maybe
not
all.
I
Yeah,
thank
you
chair.
I
think
you
raised
the
question
of
ppe
and
ppe
supplies.
If
perhaps
I
can
offer
some
observations
on
that
because,
as
a
consequence
of
the
pandemic,
I
I
chair
a
group
across
a
range
of
well
all
the
west
yorkshire
districts
and
a
range
of
other
public
sector
agencies
about
our
resilience
in
terms
of
ppe
supplies.
I
We've
been
working
on
that
that
that's
been
quite
a
rapidly
changing
position
where
we
were
informed
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
by
the
department
of
health
and
social
security
that
they
will
deliver
to
local
authorities,
the
ppe
to
meet
their
needs.
So
I'm
currently
liaising
with
angela's
colleagues
in
asset
management,
about
our
storage
capacity,
so
that
in
the
next
two
weeks
we
can
take
an
order
of
those
ppe
supplies
that
we've
identified
as
what
we
need
to
meet
our
needs
and
resilience.
I
So
so
subject
to
that,
you
know
we
should
have
a
good
stock
of
ppe
in
place.
Then
councillor
wadsworth
raised
the
question
of
plans,
panels
and
consistency
as
he
was
speaking.
He
referred
to
the
proposals
for
hybrid
meetings,
which
was
one
of
the
points
that
I
was
going
to
raise
in
response
that
they
were
coming
forward.
I
What
I'll
do
is
I'll
I'll
raise
councillor
wadsworth's
comments
with
david
feeney,
the
chief
planning
officer
and
those
matters
of
consistency
and
what
comes
to
paneling
and
our
capacity,
and
he
can
therefore
help
then
have
those
discussions
with
plants,
panel
chairs
and
other
members
in
terms
of
then
how
we
can
respond
to
that.
The
concerns
that
council
one
was
with
raise
his
job.
H
No
I'm
happy
chair.
I
was
muted
anyway
good.
A
Okay,
just
a
wider
point,
I
want
to
to
put
to
board
members.
I
I
was
conscious
and
reminded
by
paragraph
3.7.6
about
the
government's
major
and
controversial
proposed
changes
to
the
planning
process,
and
I
just
wondered
if
you
feel
that
it
might
be
useful
for
us
to
have
a
briefing
on
this,
it
would
probably
have
to
be
a
separate
briefing.
A
We
could
add
to
that
some
of
the
points
that
have
been
made
by
members
today
and
let
me
be
absolutely
clear-
I'm
not
suggesting
something
where
we
all
come
along
and
raise
our
own
particular
ward
issues.
Unless-
and
I
think
this
is
important
in
the
context
of
what
being
said-
they
throw
wider
issues
of
principle
and
procedure
because
clearly
any
changes
to
the
to
the
planning
system
impacts
on
us
in
terms
of
our
wider
terms
of
reference,
but
also
issues
like
our
sustainable
development
inquiry,
housing
mix,
etc.
A
So
I
just
wonder
if
members
would
welcome
that
opportunity,
I'm
not
kind
of
thrusting
it
on
you,
but
it
would
seem
to
be
an
active
issue
which
would
be
very
useful
to
us,
but
I'm
not
sure
there
would
be
room
to
fit
it
on
any
of
our
planned
board
meetings.
So
it
would
have
to
be,
as
I
say,
a
separate
meeting.
A
So
would
would
colleagues
find
that
interesting
or
helpful?
A
A
Okay,
thanks
very
much
everyone,
those
officers
who
don't
need
to
stay
for
any
of
the
further
items
or
the
further
substantive
item.
Thank
you
for
your
attendance
and
feel
free
to
leave
us.
That
brings
us
on
to
agenda
item
eight,
the
1018
leeds
public
transport
investment
program,
general
update.
A
A
All
right,
I
thought
I
couldn't
see
him
on
screen.
I've
got
paul
foster
down,
but
I'm
not
sure
that
I
see
paul.
A
K
Thank
you,
chair
yeah,
as
you've
requested.
This
is
an
update
on
where
we
are
with
the
leeds
public
transport
investment
programme
connecting
leads,
as
members
know,
a
very
wide
programme
of
works
being
secured
in
a
a
very
tight
time
scale.
K
Most
of
this,
if
you
remember
dft,
required
us
to
spend
the
money
by
march
2021,
and
there
was
no
flexibility
on
that
at
one
stage.
But
now
we
have
the
flexibility
where
provided
schemes
are
in
contract,
we're
able
to
carry
over
some
of
the
funding
into
next
financial
year,
which
is
helpful
and
and
something
we
thought
was
inevitable,
just
given
the
short
very
short
time
scales
that
were
involved.
K
I
think
it's
a
very
lengthy
report,
so
I
don't
intend
to
go
into
the
detail,
but
I
think
what
I
do
need
to
pull
out
is
that
the
the
financial
aspect
of
this
there's
considerable
work
ongoing
or
almost
on
a
daily
basis
to
review
where
we
are
with
the
finances
because
of
the
tight
time
scales
that
were
involved,
we
we
developed
a
large
number
of
schemes
knowing
that
not
all
of
them
would
end
up
being
implemented
on
the
ground.
K
But
what
would
happen
is
that
we
would
take
them
a
long
way
in
the
process,
so
that
should
additional
funding
become
available.
They
would
then
we
would
seek
to
get
them
funded.
That
way
and
I'll
just
give
you
a
quick
example:
the
temple
green
park
and
ride
extension.
K
Notwithstanding
the
earlier
comments
about
park
and
ride,
it
is
a
good
one
in
terms
of
we
developed
the
scheme,
we
took
it
through
to
planning,
and
now
we
have
secure,
we
weren't
able
to
secure
funding
through
liptip,
but
we
have
secured
funding
from
another
source
because
of
the
way
it
it
was
developed
and
how
far
it
was
developed,
and
so
that
principle
that
we
adopted
very
early
on
in
this
program
has
served
us
very
well.
K
So
there
are
a
number
of
schemes
that
will
fall
below
the
line,
but
we
are
in
active
dialogue
with
the
department
for
transport.
We
have
very
regular
meetings
with
them.
We
we
inform
them
about
the.
K
What
we
call
excuse
me,
the
overhang,
which
is
the
money
that
will
be
spent
next
financial
year
now,
but
they
they've
asked
us
and
we've
provided
it
about
schemes
that
are
well
developed
to
give
them
those
schemes
that
we
regard
as
shovel
ready
is
a
phrase
that
we
often
use
and
and
they're
finding
that
very
useful
for
discussions
that
are
going
on
in
central
government,
whether
that
will
bring
about
further
funding
from
that
source
in
the
near
future.
K
We
should
wait
and
see,
but
we're
in
a
very
good
position
related
to
that
is
obviously
that
schemes
are
progressing
well
on
site.
Given
the
circumstances,
the
contractors
have
made
good
progress,
sort
of
the
wet
weather
we
had
about
a
month
ago.
Did
it
did
impact
a
few
schemes,
but
not
too
too
much,
but
we
will
work
through
those
issues,
so
I
think
it's
a
positive
story,
but
we
continue
to
review
the
situation.
K
I
don't
know
if
andrew
or
sabi
you
you
wanted
to
add
anything
to
that
general
introduction.
At
this
stage.
F
I
think
I
think
other
than
the
covered
impact,
really
the
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
nervousness
early
on
soon
after
march
about
where
these
schemes
are
going
to
be
going
in
terms
of
progress
and
cost,
and
I
think
the
team
have
really
pulled
together
to
continue
that
work
as
a
key
work
activity.
F
Early
doors
there's
been
quite
a
bit
of
pressure
with
suppliers
and
supply
chain.
That
did
have
some
impact,
but
we
also
had
some
lots
of
advantages
that
we
did
take
take
advantage
of
which
things
like
working
in
the
city
center.
F
While
a
lot
of
the
premises
were
closed,
which
means
you
know,
we
could
make
good
progress
and
we
did-
and
I
think
the
team
would
really
pull
together-
to
move
the
program
forward
and
try
and
minimize
the
impact
of
the
covered
pandemic
impact
and
that,
but
that
still
results
in
in
a
financial
impact
or
be
it
less
of
an
impact
than
if
we
didn't
work
smart,
as
we
did
earlier
in
the
year,
and
that's
also
contributing
to
some
of
the
overhang.
F
N
Chair,
it's
andrew
hall,
again
just
to
say
I'm
conscious
that
this
report
covers
three
items
and
that
there
was
a
specific
request
for
us
to
cover
progress
on
lawnswood
from
last
year's
scrutiny
and
also
from
last
year's
scrutiny.
The
update
on
motorcycling
and
bus
lanes
so
they're
contained
in
the
report
effectively.
N
N
That's
still
going
on
and
it's
unfunded
in
terms
of
being
able
to
bring
a
scheme
immediately
forward
to
delivery.
But
we
are
working
towards
getting
to
a
position
where
we
can
do
some
some
public
engagement
again.
N
N
I
think
that,
second,
that
I
think
that
one,
the
second
element
has
certainly
disappeared
back
into
the
background
in
the
last
couple
of
days,
so
that
in
it
is
where
we're
at
in
the
at
the
moment
on
that,
and
I
think
when
we
perhaps
when
we
come
to
members
questions
when,
in
terms
of
the
motorcycle
trial,
we've
got
to
a
position
where
we've
agreed
in
principle
that
that
should
be
on
the
a65
corridor
being
the
most
continuous
corridor
I'm
best
suited
to
demonstrating
around
that
issue
and
we're
working
to
prepare
the
way
to
to
stage
that
trial
within
this
financial
year.
N
G
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
andrew
for
the
two
last
points,
because
they
were
my
first
two
questions.
I
will
ask
you
to
expand
on
on
what
you've
said
on
on
both
the
loans
would
round
about.
How
long
do
you
think
before
new
bids
are
gonna
be
put
into
wyker
and
see
since
the
the
scheme
is,
is
now
not
part
of
lp
tip?
Do
you
think
a
focus
is
going
to
be
on
cycling
and
active
travel
as
opposed
to
buses
and
public
transport.
G
My
second
question
on
the
motorcycle
trial
I
take
it.
Scrutiny
will
be
updated
as
soon
as
possible
or
as
early
as
possible
before
implementation,
as
well
as
ward
colleagues
and
neighbouring
ward
colleagues,
and
can
I
also
ask
about
what
additional
signage
or
notices
or
press
or
anything
are
planned
there,
and
will
they
be
erected
in
good
time
and
implemented
in
good
time
as
well?
Making
sure
drivers
are
aware
that
motorcycles
will
be
able
to
get
into
the
bus
lanes
will
be
a
big
part
of
this.
G
I
think
and
making
sure
that
that
message
is
spread
as
soon
as
possible
or
as
early
as
possible
before
it
starts.
Is
important
and
and
finally
at
3.4,
the
parkway
at
lba
station,
can
I
clarify
that
this
is
not
dependent
on
the
airport
application
and
one
for
councilman,
herron
and
bradford
council
of
said
lba.
G
A
N
Okay,
okay,
so
in
terms
of
lawnswood,
that
scheme
remains
one
of
the
number
of
priorities
that
we've
got
that
are
that
are
unfunded.
It
remains
a
priority
to
have
a
scheme
there
for
an
improvement
as
we
presented
to
the
board
last
year.
There
are
some
compelling
reasons
to
have
a
scheme,
let
alones
but
not
least
for
road
safety,
but
also
to
to
enable
the
smooth
the
flow
of
traffic,
but
principally
road
safety.
N
So
we're
developing
the
proposals
we
are.
We
are
at
the
moment
contributing
to
a
review
of
the
west
yorkshire
transport
fund
that
the
combined
authority
authorities
are
running
as
as
their
annual
review.
So
we,
although
we
haven't,
got
it
in
their
corridor
improvement
program
at
the
moment
and
some
of
the
reasons
are
detailed
in
the
main
body
of
the
report
on
lp
tip,
we
still
intend
to
pursue
the
funding
needed
for
the
scheme.
It's
fair
set
this
point
in
time.
N
N
We
would
also
be
anticipating
that
during
next
year,
potentially
as
the
combined
authority
changes
shape,
but
also
in
terms
of
the
government,
spending
review
will
potentially
anticipate
that
there
may
be
announcements
in
there
in
terms
of
the
funding
various
funding
streams
that
were
in
the
government's
program
before
march.
So
we
would
be
interested
to
see
what
the
outcomes
of
those
are,
but
the
real
messages
that
we're
continuing
to
prepare
for
it
for
for
a
scheme
at
lawrence.
Would
I
hope
that
answers
that
question.
N
So
that
everybody's
aware
that
motorcyclists
will
be
legally
able
to
to
use
that.
But
if
you
don't
mind
chad
I'll
just
ask
if
david's
got
anything,
he
just
wants
to
add
in
there
sure.
G
Covered
most
of
the
points,
but
it's
worth
saying
that
I
think
there
is
a.
D
A
key
need
for
promotion
of
the
bustling
prior
to
it
prior
to
the
changes
and
to
the
trial,
because
I
think
evidence
is
shown
in
in
one
of
the
earlier
changes
in
london
that
a
package
of
influence
in
travel,
behavior,
measured
measures
did
have
a
significant
impact
on
them.
Reducing.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
A
piece
of
information
for
board
members
you'll
see
reference
to
wands
and
orcas,
and
I
I
I
wondered
what
they
were
and
apparently
the
wand
is
a
flexible
plastic
post
that
falls
over
if
it's
it
and
the
orca-
and
this
is
very
inventive-
is
a
little
lump.
That's
painted
black
and
white
presumably
looks
like
a
whale
lisa.
E
A
E
Which
is
invaluable
for
for
cyclists,
so
I
was
invited
to
comment
in
terms
of
the
application
for
a
an
expansion
to
flights,
at
least
profit
airport
and
a
new
terminal
building
which
will
enable
the
expansion
of
flights.
As
you
know,
the
airport
already
has
a
planning
permission
for
an
increased
footprint
and
an
increase
in
flights
at
that
location.
E
Then
the
issues
around
that
are
more
complicated
by
the
expansion
in
the
hours
of
flying
time
so
earlier
in
the
morning
later
at
night.
The
impact
of
that
on
local
communities
in
terms
of
noise
pollution
in
particular,
and
then
obviously
because
of
the
expansion
in
flights,
that
the
application
would
enable
the
likelihood
of
that
having
an
adverse
impact
on
our
climate
emergency
ambitions.
As
a
council
and
our
carbon
reduction
targets.
E
Now,
we've
been
very
clear
in
public
documents
as
a
council.
What
the
impact
of
that
would
be
on
our
climate
emergency
ambitions
as
a
city
and
that's
a
matter
of
public
record.
E
E
The
aviation
industry
is
obviously
in
a
significant
state
of
flux
at
the
moment,
anyway,
as
a
result
of
covered,
but
throughout
the
last,
what
we're?
Now
six
months
of
the
covered
impacts
in
this
country,
we've
seen
other
airports
expanding.
E
There
was
before
we
went
into
lockdown
in
march
applications
for
airports
to
expand
in
stansted
and
bristol
that
were
considered
in
light
of
the
new
climate,
emergency
declarations
up
and
down
the
country
and,
of
course,
the
national
government's
own
climate
emergency
declaration.
E
They
have
a
different
target
to
the
one
that
we've
set.
Ours
is
more
in
line
with
the
international
obligations
set
out
by
the
ipcc
in
their
reports
of
november
2018,
but
the
governments
are
20
years
further
ahead
of
ours.
The
government
seems
to
be
a
slow
to
respond
to
its
own
declaration
and
hasn't
made
any
amendments
in
terms
of
their
national
aviation
strategy
at
all,
we've
written
some
grunt
chats,
I
think,
must
be.
E
I
remember
where
that
was
now.
It
must
be
nearly
a
year
ago,
I
think
about
10
months
at
least
and
haven't
had
a
response
in
terms
of
urging
the
governments
to
take
into
account
the
impact
of
flights
and
the
expansion
of
flights
up
and
down
the
country,
so
that
we
would
have
a
level
playing
field
for
all
of
the
airports
and
they
weren't
therefore
competing
against
each
other,
and
we
had
a
nationally
set
target.
E
That's
what
we
need
to
have
to
be
able
to
properly
take
into
account
both
the
flight
growth
within
this
country,
but
also
the
flights
internationally
and
rather
than
pitting
one
airport
against
another
and
one
community,
one
city
against
another.
We
should
have
that
national
approach
and
that's
what's
similarly
lacking.
G
Yeah,
thank
you,
andrew
and
david.
The
responses
on
the
the
first
two
points
and
thank
you.
Councilman
herrera,
and
I
appreciate
it
it's
difficult
to
tread
the
line
when
this
is
active
between
what
you
can
you
know
say,
and
what
what
you
don't
want
to
influence,
but
the
council
must
have
a
view
as
to
whether
the
the
development
of
the
airport
is
part
of
a
strategy
to
on
growth
and
bradford
metropolitan
council
has
said
that
it
is
and
that
it
should
go
ahead.
G
I
find
it
a
bit
difficult
to
believe
that
this
council
and
this
administration
doesn't
have
a
view.
Whichever
way
it
is.
Thank
you.
A
D
But
we're
on
the
transport,
the
a64
andy,
where
we've
put
forward
for
closure
of
the
subways
to
save
money
for
the
council
in
the
present
cr
crisis,
we're
going
through
and
get
some
zebra
crossings
in
there,
like
you
know,
is
there
any
movement
on
that
particular
issue,
because
I
did
actually
liz
is
aware
of
it.
D
My
chairman,
you
know
what
I
mean
paul,
the
so
subways
asking
for
closure
and
putting
zebra
crossings
in
instead,
the
safeguarding
the
public,
plain
elevator
using
them
subways
we're
aware
of
it
chad,
but
I
just
want
to
get
some
on
the
meeting
that
we
can
follow
up
on.
N
N
N
So
I
have
asked
my
colleagues
to
look
at
that
further
and
we're
looking
at
whether
we
can
include
it
in
a
future
pedestrian
crossing
review
for
a
for
a
fully
controlled
crossing,
so
that
we
can
provide
an
alternative
to
the
subway.
Colleagues
did
do
some
work
on
on
a
bridge.
That
is
a
very
significant
undertaking
and
also
we
generally
find
that
bridges
don't
really
fit
the
piece
for
most
people,
because
they
would
prefer
to
cross
the
road
grade.
N
So
we
we
haven't,
got
any
funding
for
a
crossing
at
the
moment
and
we
do
need
to
establish
more
clearly
what
the
demand
and
use
is
being
so
that
that
that
remains
a
piece
of
work,
counselor,
graham
in
progress,
and
we
would
have
to
bring
that
forward
as
part
of
our
our
future
proposals
for
next
year
or
the
year
after
expenditure
from
the
local
transport
plan
money
so
that
we
get
from
the
combined
authority.
A
B
It
was
a
couple
of
of
questions
which,
as
it
happens,
both
of
these
projects
are
in
more
town,
ward
and
the
only
reason
I
bring
them
up
with
apologies
to
councillor
shazad
is
that
one
concerns
the
main
shopping
parade
in
malta,
which
is
used
by
thousands
of
all
woodley
residents,
and
the
other
is
the
is
king
lane,
which
of
course,
is
the
second
busiest
route
from
all
worldly
through
mall
town
into
leeds,
and
I
know
gary
and
andrew
will
both
be
aware
that
the
bitter
king
line,
I'm
talking
about
which
runs
up
the
hill
towards
stonegate
road,
was
going
to
have
the
bus
lane
in
it,
and
it's
now
been
delayed
and
they'll
both
be
aware
that
these
jewish
housing
association
have
gone
ahead
quite
properly
with
a
big
project
there,
which
is,
is
a
complete
expansion
of
their
estate
and
the
modernization
and
so
on.
B
B
So
perhaps
somebody
could
explain
to
me
that
am
I
right
in
thinking
that
if
and
when
the
scheme
goes
ahead,
the
residents
will
have
to
put
it
with
all
the
noise
and
disturbance
because
of
it,
that's
the
first
question
and
then
secondly,
could
somebody
just
address
themselves
to
the
shopping
parade
in
more
town
because
it
isn't
safe
the
parking
on
the
parade
which
was
altered
because
of
all
the
new
arrangements
has
made
it
so
that
anything
longer
than
a
small
car
parked
in
the
bays
there
forces
traffic
going
up
the
access
lane
onto
the
pavement.
B
A
F
F
I
could
respond,
I
suppose
in
reverse,
more
town.
First,
I
suppose,
with
the
motown
corner
scheme.
Clearly,
that's
now
been
completed
and
the
part
of
that
process
is
to
carry
out
a
road
safety
audit
of
all
the
movements
in
and
around
the
junction.
That's
that's
all
pedestrian
traffic
and
cyclists
and
water
and
movement,
etc.
B
K
Okay,
but
like
with
all
our
schemes
we
monitor
and
if
we've
got
comments
such
as
that
we're
more
than
happy
to
have
a
look
at
it
and
review
to
see
what
the
issues
are.
So
that's,
okay
in
terms
of
the
king
lane
issue
and
I
think
the
general
comment
I'd
make
there.
It's.
As
I
said
earlier,
we've
prepared
a
lot
of
schemes
to
get
to
a
certain
stage,
they're
not
going
to
move
to
implementation
until
funding
becomes
available.
K
But
if,
if
and
when
that
funding
does
become
available.
Unfortunately,
with
these
schemes
there
will
be
a
level
of
noise
disruption
inconvenience,
but
we
will
do
our
utmost,
as
we
always
do,
to
try
and
minimize
inconvenience
to
all
users
of
the
highway.
So
unfortunately,
that's
just
a
consequence
of
funding,
timing
and
and
development
taking
place
in
the
area.
So
I'm
not
sure
we
can
avoid
such
things.
A
D
Thank
you
chair.
My
question
is:
is
that
on
table
four
in
under
the
rail
packages
there's
mention
of
improvements
at
molly
station,
and
I
mean
I
think
the
first
thing
I'd
say
is
that
the
comment
in
the
state
could
have
been
written
eight
years
ago
and
george
osborne
was
chancellor.
D
You
know
we
expect
it
to
be
done
by
network
rail,
but
you
know
nothing
has
happened
in
the
intervening.
Eight
years
is
it
I
mean.
As
far
as
I'm
aware,
there
is
a
scheme
ready
or
shovel
ready
scheme
with
wyka
to
do
the
improvements
needed
at
molestation
on
disabled
access
on
new
car
parking
and
it
seems
to
would
have
funding
and,
and
whether
I
mean
I
need
clarification
of
where
the
network
rail
are
actually
going
to
do
this
work.
Or
is
it
just
going
to
fall
between
several
stools?
D
You
know
it's,
I
think,
it'd
be
possible
to
get
some
update
from
either
wiki
or
network
rail
or
our
own
officers
as
to
when
this
is
even
planned,
because
as
far
as
there's
been
no
public
engagement,
no
planning
issues
have
been
raised
yet
so
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
work
still
to
do
so.
I
mean
I
just
like
to
get
on
the
on
on
top
of
our
horizon,
when
this
may
actually
happen.
N
I
I
can
respond
to
that
question.
Chair
cap,
so
yes,
counselor
dalston
has
been
on
the
list
for
a
long
time.
It
was.
It
was
in
the
scope
of
the
lp
tip
program
as
one
of
the
package
of
access
measures
for
local
stations.
N
N
However,
molly's
on
the
on
the
transparent
route
upgrade
route
and
molly
station
is,
is
part
of
the
scope
of
the
transpanairu
upgrade
we're
still
waiting
for
full
clarity
on
the
tru
program
and
wiker
are
still
waiting
on
that,
but
we
would
expect
actually
that
now
it
would
be
taken
forward
in
the
scope
of
the
tru
project
by
network
rail,
rather
than
with
wiker
funding
by
network
rail.
N
But
I
will
ask
for
another
update
from
my
colleagues
at
the
combined
authority
and
let
you
know
what
the
latest
position
is,
but
I
appreciate
your
frustration
that
this
this
project
hasn't
proceeded.
The
only
thing
I
would
say
is
potentially
through
the
tiu.
We
might
get
a
better
solution
for
molly
station,
but
that
that
is
that
is
still
in
the
in
in
the
process
of
being
made.
I
hope
that
helps.
A
D
Right
thanks,
thank
you
yeah.
I
mean
that
that's
useful,
andrew.
Thank
you
for
that.
As
I
said,
it's
very
frustrating
that
everybody
agrees.
This
should
go
ahead
and-
and
you
know
it's
been
on
the
cards
now
for
eight
years
at
least,
but
we
don't
seem
to
get
any
further
forward
ever.
You
know
it
really
is
frustrating
and
I
keep
hearing
how
much
money
is
going
to
be
spent
on
infrastructure
and
it's
a
thing
something
that
everybody
agrees
needs
to
be
done,
but
nothing
happens.
So
any
information
gratefully
received.
N
C
Thank
you
chair
just
a
couple
of
points,
one
just
to
put
on
record
that
last
year,
when
the
a65
motorcycle
scheme
was
muted
in
the
press
and
the
army
councillors
had
a
fair
few
emails
requesting
that
we
object
to
that.
So
that's
just
to
put
that
point
on
record
and
also
regarding
some
of
the
ongoing
schemes,
some
of
it
I'll
deal
with
outside
of
the
meeting,
but
just
to
bring
in
some
community
aspects
on
the
a647
scheme
that
a
lot
of
residents
I
mean.
C
I
appreciate
in
the
in
the
current
climate
that
the
notices
have
gone
on
to
lamppost,
but
a
few
residents
have
just
made
comments
that
they're
not
finding
that
the
notices
are
that
accessible
either
because
they've
had
to
be
shielding
so
they've
missed
the
notices
and
just
really,
I
guess
that
community
voice
of
kind
of
spare
of
recognizing
that
a
lot
of
the
movements
and
changes
are
on
the
arterial
routes,
but
to
kind
of
spare
a
thought
for
some
of
the
local
estates
that
are
going
to
have
impacts
and
effects
and
that
they
don't
necessarily
feel
that
they've
been
able
to
voice
their
opinions
on
it.
C
F
Can
I
somewhere,
of
course?
Yes
thank
you
councillor
cunningham
yeah,
I
I've
been
made
aware
of
some
of
the
concerns.
I've
come
from
the
local
residents
and
businesses
along
the
route
as
you've
articulated
and
what
the
team
have
been
doing.
Certainly
am
aware
over
the
recent
weeks
where
additional
information,
letters
and
plans
have
been
delivered
to
the
properties.
So
there's
been
that
being
cascaded
out
as
well.
C
No
thanks
very
much
and
that's
appreciated.
I
think
that
I
I'm
part
of
one
of
the
estates
that
have
received
the
han
delivered
letters,
but
so
I
will
take
it
with
you
outside
of
the
meeting
and
thanks
for
that.
I
think
the
residents
just
still
felt
that
there
was
a
very
short
time
scale,
because
the
comments
have
to
be
in
by
this
friday.
H
Thank
you,
chad,
thanks
for
your
query
that
you
raised
council
buckley.
I
appreciate
that,
but
we've
had
not
not
not
so
much
any
careers
come
to
us
from
our
local
residents.
They're
all
quite
happy
with
the
scheme.
That's
taken
place
at
the
mall
town
corner,
but
if
you
do
have
any
pictures
or
any
information
regarding
the
health
and
safety
issues,
please
feel
free
to
forward
the
emails
or
the
pictures
on
to
us
and
as
the
martin
award
council
will
definitely
look
into
that.
H
As
the
local
ward
councillors,
we
were
willing
to
work
with
the
shopkeepers,
who
mainly
may
have
suggested,
are
living
abroad
and
probably
taking
benefit
from
the
from
not
paying
taxes
in
the
uk
and
so
on,
and
so
forth.
H
So
we
have
tried
to
make
this
game
as
best
possible
for
for
the
bus
users
as
well
as
the
pedestrians,
and
I
think
this
game
looks
really
good
now
and
we
have
had
no
complaints
from
any
of
our
motor
residents
and,
like
said,
if
you
do
have
any
issues,
please
forward
them
on
to
us,
and
we
will
take
a
look
at
that
and
we're
more
than
happy
to
work
with
yourself,
since
we
do
get
a
lot
of
footfall
from
from
the
woodley
world,
which
we
appreciate
it's
good
to
shop
locally,
and
we
appreciate
your
support
for
our
businesses
and
long
may
continue.
A
A
This
is
an
issue
that
we've
recursed
time
and
time
again
on
behalf
of
constituents
at
this
board,
and
it's
the
issue
of
whether
the
bus
companies
have
finally
addressed
the
issue
of
the
phantom
bus,
I.e.
The
bus
that,
on
the
real-time
information,
makes
its
progress
and
then
just
disappears
because
it's
never
been
there
in
the
first
place
and
we've
had
numerous
discussions
over,
I
think
a
couple
of
years
on
this
notion
of
the
phantom
bus.
I
just
wonder
whether
the
bus
companies
and
others
finally
got
to
grips
with
that
particular
problem.
A
My
second
question
also
relates
to
buses
on
page
48,
there's
reference
to
the
provision
of
new
buses,
and
it
says
that
first
have
delivered
189
of
the
284
new
buses,
which
is
a
figure
slightly
lower
than
the
first
figure
slightly
lower
than
the
one
that
I've
previously
seen.
It
does
indicate
that
there
is
an
issue
in
the
light
of
covet
and
investment
in
the
bus
companies,
but
is
that
an
up-to-date
figure
and
have
we
got
any
further
idea
of
when
first
or
whoever
is
going
to
be
running?
A
N
I'm
I'm
happy
to
answer
that
chair.
So,
okay
in
terms
of
the
real-time
bus
information,
so
the
report
refers
principally
to
the
physical
infrastructure
providing
new
display
screens.
I
think
there's
500
provision
in
that
program,
for
I
think
it
was
500
new
screens
and
and
totems.
N
N
My
understanding-
and
I
haven't
had
an
update
recently-
is
that
that
software
is
up
for
a
renewal
to
to
help
to
resolve
those
problems,
but
it
really
needs
the
system
to
be
updated
to
provide
that
that
certainty,
remove
that
five
percent
of
buses
that
never
appear
or
they're
a
blank
on
the
screen.
So
I
will
get
an
update
on
that
chair
where
they're,
currently
at
with
with
that
piece
of
of
renewal.
N
So
on
the
bus
numbers
again,
I
will
need
to
get
an
update
from
from
from
also
arriva
in
terms
of
their
renewals.
Well,
I
I
do
know
that
first
have
been
there.
They
have
ordered
a
small
fleet
of
electric
single
deck
buses,
as
well
as
as
the
buses
that
they've
got
on
order
for
the
new
park
and
ride
out
potentially
at
sturton,
and
that
those
new
single
date
buses.
N
I
think
I
think
it's
seven
new
buses
are
in
the
country
and
they
have
them
so
their
renewals
are
proceeding,
but
I
need
to
get
them
get
an
update
on
the
the
current
balance
of
buses
to
make
the
284.
A
Okay,
well,
it's
two
issues.
I
I
I
flagged
at
our
next
meeting
in
october.
We
do
have
the
advancing
bus
service
provision
update
coming
back
to
us,
so
hopefully
it
can
be
contained
in
there.
Okay,
councilman,
yes,
councillor
mulherin,
you've
got
your
virtual
hand
and
your
reel
hand
up.
E
Sorry
I'll
work
out
and
push
my
virtual
hand
off
first
just
wanted
to
say
I
visited
the
hanzo
depot
first
bus
a
couple
days
ago
and
saw
the
new
electric
buses
there.
They've
got
nine
currently
which
are
going
to
be
operating
on
the
number
five
service
going
through
baltimore.
E
They
have
five
that
are
coming
for
stern
park
and
ride.
They
were
very
clear
that
further
orders
were
not
in
place
pending
the
state
of
the
finances,
so
we've
got
the
nine
already
five
on
the
way
for
sterton
and
then
we'll
have
to
wait
and
see
what
happens
after
that
in
terms
of
electric
bus
provision,
but
they
they
had
a
ride
around
in
the
electric
bus
and
it
was
really
a
very
good
experience.
E
It's
very
quiet
they've
got
all
of
the
new
subscribers
usb
wi-fi
on
on
their
charging
facilities,
very
good
air
conditioning,
and
they
it's
also
kind
of
less
bumpy.
You
don't
get
that
juddering
that
you
get
with
a
diesel
bus,
so
yeah.
Something
clearly
that
I
think
we'd
all
like
to
see.
Moving
forward.
They've
got
ten
charging
points
currently
out
hands
up
more
coming
in
to
charge
those
buses
overnight,
so
they
can
operate
up
to
200
miles,
apparently
having
been
charged
up
overnight,
which
means
they
can
operate.
A
Okay,
thanks
very
much
for
that
update
and
in
the
absence
of
any
other
indications,
I'll
draw
the
discussion
to
this
particular
gender
item
to
a
close
and
thank
everyone
for
their
attendance,
lisa's,
executive
board,
member
and
the
officers.
Thank
you.
A
Okay.
Moving
very
swiftly
on
to
agenda
item
nine,
it's
just
a
usual
work
schedule.
I
don't
think,
there's
anything
I
need
to
draw
to
the
board's
attention
other
than
to
to
note
it
and
obviously
to
take
on
board
the
discussion
we
had
earlier,
rather
my
monologue
earlier
about
having
an
update
on
the
the
new
planning
proposals
and
any
other
issues
that
throw
wider
concerns
about
the
planning
process.
A
So
unless
there
any
questions
on
that,
I
will
draw
the
meeting
to
a
close
becky
becky's
waving
her
real
hand,
you
ought
to
know
how
to
do
the
virtual
hand.
This
is
really.
This
is
really
disappointing.
