  • CQ419 - 11 from Councillor Gerry Ryan
    CQ419 - 11 from Councillor Gerry Ryan LE Can the Leader reassure all Elected Members following the recent scandal of phone and email hacking that none of their Council phones or email accounts has been subject to such abuses. Reply We have no evidence or reported incidents of phone or email hacking. CQ421 - 11 from Councillor Eddy Arram LE If the reserves of the Council were at their August 2005 level would the Council have been in a position to offer help to those residents and businesses that had been affected by the wanton damage caused during the riots to the level that in fact did. Reply Our reserves for the year ended 2005/06 were £4.530m compared to the current reserves balance of £11.597m. This is clearly substantially better than the all time low of a few hundred thousand created by the Labour Administration. It is estimated that the full cost of the damage incurred by Croydon will be met by Government funding. The Government has made available, nationally;- ¾ A £10 million Recovery Scheme to assist Councils with the immediate costs of making their areas safe and clean again, and ¾ a £20 million High Street Support Scheme to both assist local firms that were affected by the riots to rebuild their business and to rebuild community confidence and hence trade in the areas in which they are located. Croydon has an indicative allocation of £2m from this fund. At an early stage the Council identified and put at risk £100,000 to help those families directly impacted by the recent civil unrest in the borough.

The development of a Cultural Plan for the Borough is now timely, to build on this growing groundswell of activity and create a framework for activity for the next 5-10 years.
