RESOLVED: (1) THAT the report be noted. (2) That consideration be given to developing a refreshed family poverty strategy, or creating a new “all age” tackling poverty strategy. 55. NOTICE OF MOTION Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service Budget Councillor Jim Dawson moved the following motion, which was seconded by Councillor Stephen Coen. The recent severe weather conditions and floods across Greater Manchester, in Salford, Rochdale, Littleborough, Bury, Manchester, across the North West of England and elsewhere, has highlighted the frontline role that the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) plays in times of severe local and national crises. GMFRS budgets have been cut by £28M over the last 5 years, resulting in the loss of 450 fire fighter posts and 10 fire engines being de-commissioned, as well as significantly cutting ‘’back office’’ and management. This has left Greater Manchester stretched to the limit, in terms of its resilience to be able to tackle local and national crises, such as those which have taken place recently and to keep our communities safe. The recent Spending Review and Autumn Statement announcement has meant a further cut to GMFRS of £15.8M over the next 4 years, which will seriously reduce further the resilience of GMFRS to be able to respond effectively to such crises in the future, which inevitably will put Greater Manchester residents, including those from Salford, at further risk. As the Country’s second largest fire and rescue service, GMFRS plays a pivotal role in our local and national security and resilience, protecting homes and businesses, saving lives and helping those in times of crises. In light of the above, Salford City Council calls on H.M. Government to reconsider their announcement to cut further the GMFRS budget at the level they propose, and consider offering similar protection to that, rightly granted to the police in the recent Spending Review, in recognition of the key role in local and national resilience, provided by our superb fire and rescue service in Greater Manchester. Councillor Jim Dawson and Councillor Stephen Coen both spoke in favour of the motion. Councillor Les Turner moved the following amendment to the motion, which was seconded by Councillor Iain Lindley:- Council recognises the vital role GMFRS plays in time of severe local and national emergency situations and places on record its appreciation for the front line role fire fighters hold in keeping residents and businesses safe. Since 2010, GMFRS has seen a reduction in Government grant funding of £28M and has responded locally by reducing the number of fire fighter posts by 450, the number of fire engines by 10 and a range of service efficiencies in back office and management costs. The Recent Comprehensive Spending Review announcement details a reduction in core spending power available to GMFRS of £3.72M over the next four year, which may impact further on the resilience of GMFRS to be able to respond effectively to emergency situations in the future. As the country’s second largest fire and rescue service, GMFRS plays a pivotal role in our local and national security and resilience, protecting homes and businesses, saving lives and helping those in times of crises. Council notes the forthcoming governance changes to GMFRS to bring the service under the authority of the Elected Mayor for Greater Manchester, which will help to ensure a co-ordinated and efficient blue light operation with other emergency services. In light of the above, the Council calls on the Government to consider the consultation response from GMFRS, in recognition of the key role in local and national resilience provided by our superb fire and rescue service in Greater Manchester and noting the opportunities that exist to ensure the service has sufficient funding to conduct its activities, taking into account the factual position of GMFRS. Councillor Les Turner, Councillor Iain Lindley and Councillor Robin Garrido all spoke in favour of the amendment. Councillor Jim Dawson, Councillor David Lancaster and the City Mayor all questioned the accuracy of the financial figures contained in the amendment, which contradicted those detailed in the original motion and had been taken from GMFRS consultation document. The Ceremonial Mayor then put the amendment to Council and following a show of hands declared it not carried. The Ceremonial Mayor then put the original motion to Council. RESOLVED: THAT the motion moved by Councillor Jim Dawson, as detailed above, be approved and adopted. 56. FLOODING - STATEMENT OF THE CITY MAYOR The City Mayor provided details of the background, impact, emergency response and subsequent clean up, arising from the floods in the Lower Broughton, Kersal and Irwell Riverside areas of the City on 26 th December, 2016. He expressed sympathy for local residents whose homes and premises had been damaged and outlined the support which had been provided so far, both in financial and practical terms and the further assistance which would be given to ensure their lives returned to normal as soon as possible. Thanks were extended to the many Salford City Council staff, partner agencies, emergency services, groups, individuals and the local community who had all assisted during the floods and in the subsequent days and weeks and which collectively demonstrated the “Spirit

  • Electoral Review of Salford City Council
    Electoral review of Salford City Council Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s consultation on Warding Patterns August 2018 1 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Salford in 2018 has changed dramatically since the city’s previous electoral review of 2002. Salford has seen a turnaround in its fortunes over recent years, reversing decades of population decline and securing high levels of investment. The city is now delivering high levels of growth, in both new housing and new jobs, and is helping to drive forward both Salford’s and the Greater Manchester economies. 1.2 The election of the Greater Manchester Mayor and increased devolution of responsibilities to Greater Manchester, and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, is fundamentally changing the way Salford City Council works in areas of economic development, transport, work and skills, planning, policing and more recently health and social care. 1.3 Salford’s directly elected City Mayor has galvanised the city around eight core priorities – the Great Eight. Delivering against these core priorities will require the sustained commitment and partnership between councillors, partners in the private, public, community and voluntary and social enterprise sectors, and the city’s residents. This is even more the case in the light of ongoing national policy changes, the impending departure of the UK from the EU, and continued austerity in funding for vital local services. The city’s councillors will have an absolutely central role in delivering against these core priorities, working with all our partners and residents to harness the energies and talents of all of the city.
