Council 4 June 2014

Annual report for the late Mayor Councillor Mark Bennett

Councillor Mark Bennett became the 100 th Mayor of the London Borough of Lambeth on 27 March 2013. He was in office for 10 months serving the borough; a place that he was immensely proud to be a part of.

Mark’s chosen charity was the Trussell Trust food banks ; a charity who provide a minimum of three days emergency food and support to people experiencing crisis in the UK. There are five food banks in Lambeth and Mark worked with the project leaders of the food banks to raise awareness of the hardships faced by many families. Food bins are still displayed in a number of Council building reception areas and have received very generous support from Lambeth staff and the public.

Mark was an avid Historian and so it will be no surprise that he was involved in Lambeth’s WW1 Centenary Commemorati ons. The forthcoming commemorations were of g reat importance to him especially in terms of working cooperatively with the community. He was involved in the planning of the programme from the outset having been invited to chair the steering group by Counc illor Prentice.

Mark was keen to commemorate the full period from the start of war in 2014 until the end in 2018. He was interested in supporting finding appropriate space within the Streatham and Stockwell memorial gardens to house the commemorative pav ing stones being given to Lambeth in memory of the soldiers awarded the Victoria Cross – he was also interested in supporting the building of a Commonwealth memorial in Windrush Square .

Mark attended more than 300 engagements throughout Lambeth representing the borough at voluntary sector and community group events, hospitals, hospices, churches and citizenship ceremonies welcoming new citizens into the borough. He attended 33 Lambeth sc hools at assemblies, record of achievement ceremonies, carol concerts, Summer fairs and art exhibitions. Mark’s expertise on social media ensured his many followers were kept informed of his engagements.

He was delighted to welcome members of the roya l family to the borough including HRH The Duke of York Prince Andrew who unveiled a plaque at Winn & Coales based in West Norwood who were receiving the Queens Award, HRH The Countess of Wessex in January this year who opened the new Livity School in Streatham Hill, and in October last year he welcomed Her Majesty The Queen two weeks running; first at the National Theatre an d again at the Ebony Horse Club.

Minute 5: Petitions, Public Notice Questions and Deputations (page 5)

Public Notice question

Delete existing supplementary question and answer, and insert:

Supplementary question

The following supplementary question was asked by Mr Julian Hall:

Mr Hall explained that the written answer only clarified a generic promise from the Labour Party to provide affordable housing, by highlighting the specific policy of selling off council housing to repair neglected stock. He felt the generic pledge failed to highlight the Council was proposing to sell off council housing in order to repair properties it failed to keep in order.

However, he was of the view that ‘shortlife’ homes have been classed as voids, and some ‘shortlife’ co-ops did, in fact, take nominations from the council’s waiting list. Furthermore, the 20% short life housing stock target was a pledge made at July 2012 Cabinet, which has been broken along with the party’s original manifesto pledge to supply affordable housing in the borough. Will the council now be specific on how the money from the disposal of these properties will be spent?

Supplementary answer

Councillor Pete Robbins explained that the council had a policy of disposing of void council properties with the funds generated from the disposal policy used to repair and bringing back into use existing void council homes. He advised that the council did not have the capital reserves to spend on bringing back short life housing up to Decent Homes standard. Recent changes in funding by local government means there is no grant available to make it economically viable for Housing Associations to buy council homes and then refurbish them as affordable housing stock. All receipts generated by the sale of discounted properties go into a single capital expenditure fund. In view of Government cuts Lambeth has been forced to reallocate funds from elsewhere in order to preserve housing, school and library services.

Minute 9: Calculation of council tax base and national non-domestic rates return 1 2015/2015 (page 28)

Insert:

Special Circumstances Justifying Urgent Consideration

The Mayor was of the opinion that although this report had not been available for at least five clear days before the meeting, nonetheless it should be considered now as a matter of urgency because of the special circumstances that we are obliged to inform our precepting bodies of the information contained within by 31 January 2014. It has not been possible to complete this report any earlier due to the severe delays in the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) releasing the necessary NNDR1 template and guidance.

6. PETITIONS, PNQS AND DEPUTATIONS (RELATED TO THE BUDGE T) Petitions

None presented.

Public Notice Questions

None received.

Deputations

1. Arts and cultural sector funding and commissioning of services

Leader of deputation: Lara Macardle (Raw Material Music & Media)

Lara Macardle explained that she was representing all areas in Lambeth that were affected by the cuts to the arts and cultural sector. She advised that there was concern throughout the arts and culture community on the level of cuts to funding, and specifically highlighted the impact the cuts would have on young people. She concluded by stating the 100% cut to the arts and cultural budget was unfair and felt the long term effects had not been fully considered.

Response from Councillor Sally Prentice, Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure

Councillor Sally Prentice thanked the deputation for attending the meeting and for raising the concerns from the Arts and Culture community. She advised that the budget for Arts and Culture had not been cut by 100%. She commented that new approaches were required for the delivery services, in view of the reduction in funding to the Council and to ensure cost effectiveness.

2. Lambeth Unison: council budget and budget cuts

Leader of deputation: Jon Rogers

Jon Rogers from Unison addressed Council on the proposed budget. He acknowledged that the level of cuts to Council funding was unprecedented and felt that frontline services were being unfairly affected. Whilst he understood that the cuts were coming from central government he felt that the Council should be doing more to resist the cuts and also should be looking at other ways to save money and should protect services for vulnerable people. He felt the budget did not truly reflect the Councils financial position as savings could be achieved elsewhere, such as agency workers. He expressed concern that agency workers costs had not been included in the budget. He felt this was wrong as there were over 500 agency workers currently in the Council with a large number at a cost of £50k - £100k per year. He further advised that had the Council listened to the Unions and implemented the pension changes earlier, additional savings would have been achieved. He hoped the Council would work with the Unions to minimise staff reductions.

Response from Councillor McGlone, Cabinet Member for Finance and Resources

Councillor Paul McGlone thanked the delegation from Unison for addressing Council and advised that the Council was on common ground with many of the concerns raised. He added that the Labour Administration did not accept the cuts from central government and had always challenged the detail before any determination was v Page 8

agreed. He advised that there was a focus on protecting jobs and frontline services and assured the deputation that work was already underway to reduce the number of agency workers within the council.

(d) Recorded votes

The government recently made the “Local Authorities (Standing Orders) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2014” which make it mandatory for councils as soon as is practicable after the Regulations are in force, to amend their Standing Orders so as to include provisions requiring recorded votes at budget meetings. The necessary change to the council’s standing orders will be included in the Constitution 2014-15 to be submitted to the annual meeting of Council on 4 June 2014.

All votes on the budget will accordingly be recorded. If the electronic voting system is not in operation, a manual record will be taken. Each councillor, in alphabetical order, will be required to advise the Mayor whether they are for, against or abstaining on the issue.

The Deputy Mayor invited speakers from all parties from a list provided by the Whips. The speakers, in order, were:

8. TERMS OF REFERENCE O F THE PLANNING APPLI CATIONS COMMITTEE: AMENDMENTS (Report no 295/13-14)

Corrections by Strategic Director, Delivery

Add following paragraphs:

5.2 (iv) (response)

Camden does have a cross party Members briefing panel which decides whether certain categories of applications should be referred up to PAC or decided in line with officer recommendations under delegated powers. From experience, officers advise that this process is time consuming and expensive. It is also considered that this approach could compromise needed improvements to performance and add to the cost of both delegated and committee decisions.

5.4 Councillor Malley expressed his disappointment in relation to the proposals. He considers that relatively small developments in low rise residential areas can actually have more impact on people’s lives than big ones in high rise areas (it is remarkable how uncontroversial the many blocks in Bishops and Princes are), and as such require the same scrutiny. Councillor Malley considers that this is not a waste of the committee and officers’ time, because context is all and these smaller developments are often in the deepest rooted communities.

Councillor Malley considers that the restriction on councillors bringing applications to the committee diminishes the role of ward councillor, and whilst he is confident that the current chair will use her experience to make well balanced judgements on what to allow to committee (though it could involve her in a lot of work), no one knows what the future will bring. He considers that items brought to committee by ward councillors often lead to better decisions (see the number upheld on appeal), and as such both the quality of the council’s decision making and the confidence of the public in the system will be undermined.

Response:

Whilst it is acknowledged that some smaller developments have an impact on the community, it is considered that on some occasions, reporting these items to committee can raise false hope to the applicant and agent. Officers also acknowledge that on occasion, where the officer recommendations are overturned they are subsequently upheld on appeal.

It is considered that the proposed amendments will not reduce the role of the ward councillor as there is still opportunity to call applications to committee. In relation to the ‘call-in test’ to determine whether an application is presented to committee, officers are simply requiring valid planning reason for an application to be called in and the chair (whoever it is) will be expected to take professional advice in arriving at this view.

Amend paragraph 10.1 to read:

Bold = additions Strikethrough = deletions

xviii Page 21

10.1 The amendments to the terms of reference/scheme of delegation will be implemented immedi ately as soon as possible following approval; subject to standardisation of conditions and application consultation with Members. Officers will draft a set of conditions for discussion with Planning Applications Members (and substitutes), prior to the automatic delegation of decisions relating to A3 and A4 applications. Whilst it is considered helpful to gain input from Members in relation to conditions; the wording of conditions must be provided by officers to ensure that they meet the tests contained within the circular.

The Deputy Mayor invited speakers from all parties from a list provided by the Whips. The speakers, in order, were:

11. PAY POLICY (Report no 298/13-14)

Note by Director Business Development, Human Resources and Organisation Development

Amendment 1 from Councillor Ashley Lumsden refers to 16 Directors on the payroll, and to an increase in their number. Officers advise that the number of Directors has fallen by one from 17 to 16, since the last Pay Policy Statement was agreed by full Council in May 2013. This is a transitional senior structure and one which is intended to ensure there is sufficient senior managerial capacity to drive through the fundamental changes that are underway in Lambeth. The Council recognises that this number of senior managers is not sustainable in the long term. Once the changes are embedded, these and other senior posts across the council will be reviewed in the light of the financial challenges for 2015/16 and beyond, with an expectation of achieving at least a 20% reduction.
