Verbatim Council 12 Jan 05.Pdf VERBATIM REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS SUPPLEMENTING THE MINUTES OF LEEDS CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON WEDNESDAY, 12TH JANUARY 2005 THE DEPUTY LORD MAYOR (Councillor B. Lancaster): Good afternoon. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL: Good afternoon, Deputy Lord Mayor. THE DEPUTY LORD MAYOR: Thank you. Please be seated. Members of Council, Officers and visitors, I extend a warm welcome to the visitors, and especially to announce that we have the Morley Town Mayor, Councillor Derek Bradley, who is here to observe our meeting this afternoon. I extend a welcome. (Applause) Could I remind everyone to please make sure their mobile phones are switched off. Firstly, I would like to extend congratulations to Councillor Bill Hyde on the announcement that he is to be the Lord Mayor Elect. (Applause) And at this point I know Councillor Hyde would like to say a few words. COUNCILLOR W. HYDE: Very few, Deputy Lord Mayor, and entirely no doubt against procedural rules. I would like to thank everybody for that round of applause, which was almost unanimous (Laughter), and to announce that I have asked Councillor Anne Castle to be Deputy Lord Mayor, and that she has accepted. Thank you, Deputy Lord Mayor. (Applause) THE DEPUTY LORD MAYOR: I am sure you and your partners will enjoy the experience, as I have so far. It is with regret, since the last meeting, I have to announce the following deaths: Honorary Alderman Eleanor Gertrude Clark, Member of Leeds City Council from 1968-1980; Honorary Alderman Rita Verity, Member of Morley Borough Council from 1970-1974 and Leeds City Council from 1974-79, and then 1982-86. She was the Lady Mayoress from 1977-1978. And then Honorary Alderman Richard Hughes-Rowland MBE, who was a Leeds City Councillor 1988-95, and then to announce the death of former Councillor Philip Coin, Member of Leeds City Council 1998-2002 and Otley Town Mayor 2001-2002. I would like to invite Councillor Wakefield, if he would like to say a few words. PDF created with FinePrint pdfFactory trial version http://www.fineprint.com COUNCILLOR WAKEFIELD: Thank you Lord Mayor. Some of us in this room knew Phil as a friend for over 25 years, and it struck me as a bit of a revelation to realise that he had only been a City Councillor for four years, because certainly in those four years he made an incredible impact on the life of the City and on the life of the ward that he represented, Otley & Pool Ward, and when you think of the projects that he was involved in, there were many. There were the youth projects, the arts project, the library project, the HGV Ban which some of you may have seen the lobby outside the Civic Hall, the Save the Civic Centre and, of course, as the CIT he was always involved in the Town Partnership where he also served as an Otley Town Councillor. It is incredible the energy of that one person, who made so much difference to the life and the people of Otley, and Phil also had some very strong views about planning, and I don't think there is a colleague here who has served on Planning who has not fallen out with him. I certainly fell out with him. I think colleagues on the Labour side fell out with him, because he had very strong views about how planning should proceed and how we should protect our heritage, and I think, you know, there will not be many of us who have not fallen out with Phil some time and had a pint to make it up during the course of the evening later on. As you probably know, Phil was out with his family digging for Christmas trees somewhere near Bolton Abbey when he suffered his first stroke. That was on the Sunday, and on the following Monday he had a massive stroke, which caused him obviously to die, and he leaves behind him a widow Penny, who he has been with for 30 years, and a son Brendan, 17, and Jenny, 13. But I think he leaves behind all of us, Otley as a poorer place and us as lesser people without Phil being our friend and supporter and campaigner in all sorts of issues in the life of the City and the life of Otley, and I am sure that we will all miss him, as we do now, in the future as well. Thank you, Lord Mayor. (Applause) THE DEPUTY LORD MAYOR: Thank you, Councillor Wakefield. Obviously, we have all been deeply affected by the tsunami disaster on Boxing Day, and I would like PDF created with FinePrint pdfFactory trial version http://www.fineprint.com to, before we do a minute's silence to recognise the deaths and the disaster, I would like to invite Councillor Carter to say a few words. COUNCILLOR A. CARTER: Deputy Lord Mayor, Members of Council, just after Christmas the whole word was shaken by the news of a natural disaster of almost unimaginable proportions, bringing with it an enormous human tragedy which is still unfolding day by day. I would like to convey my deepest sympathies, and those of the Council, to all those affected by this tragedy. This was a human loss on an almost incomprehensible scale, and I know there cannot be anyone who has not been deeply moved by the scenes we see every day from those countries affected. Our thoughts are with the survivors and bereaved in South Asia and Africa, but also those closer to home who have lost friends and loved ones. That seems to be moving nearer with almost every day that passes, and I am sure you are all aware that an Officer of this authority has suffered two bereavements. The people of the world led the way in expressing a willingness to help those countries and their peoples so devastated by the tsunami. In time of war, and in time of national and international emergencies during peacetime, the people of this City have never been found wanting. This has proved to be the case yet again, and I pay tribute to the people of Leeds who have already begun raising money and offering practical help to the peoples of the stricken area. I wish to pay particular tribute to the employees of Leeds City Council, who have shown a huge commitment already to giving support and help, and I know this will be matched by Members of this Council. I can also pledge that the City Council as a corporate body will donate a substantial amount of money to the appeal that we are setting in train in Leeds, and I shall discuss with the Opposition Leaders in more detail precisely what we intend to do when our Officers have finished their investigative work. We want the money raised by our staff, Council Members, and hopefully by our partners in the City, to contribute in a very real way to the rebuilding that has to take place after this tragedy. PDF created with FinePrint pdfFactory trial version http://www.fineprint.com In the short term, as you know, additional street collection licences have been made available to organisations and individuals who have wished to collect funds specifically for this appeal. A message on behalf of the Council has been placed on our Intranet, along with details of how staff and Members can donate to the disaster's emergency committee. Over the course of the next few weeks, collection boxes will be placed in Council offices, and further information on our activities will be going out in payslips and through staff briefings. Arrangements are being made for staff and members to donate money directly from salaries, if they so wish. In the longer term, the Council is seeking to adopt a more sustainable approach to redevelopment by adopting a child-centred project in one of the regions affected - Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka has been proposed due to the work previously undertaken to establish a partnership between the capital city, Colombo, and Leeds. This link also suggested itself due to the twinning arrangement which exists between the Diocese of Ripon and Leeds and the Diocese of Colombo, which has been established since 1988. Therefore, the Council will be leading a week of fund raising activity on behalf of the City during the week of 14th February 2005 in order that we can launch this project. Events will be co-ordinated across Leeds and a number of partners have already indicated they would be willing to contribute; for example, the Leeds Chamber of Commerce, the National Health Service and both of our Universities. You will be kept informed of developments as they arise, and I am certain you would wish to support and contribute to this appeal. Within days of the tragedy beginning to unfold, senior Officers of this Council met to discuss how we could best help, and I wish to publicly thank them for their dedication in getting things moving so quickly. They have, throughout that time, kept Councillors Blackburn, Harris and myself fully briefed as we move forward. My Deputy Lord Mayor, this is truly a tragedy of stupendous proportions. As I said, virtually nobody is now left untouched by what has happened. I PDF created with FinePrint pdfFactory trial version http://www.fineprint.com do hope all Members will join with our staff and the residents of Leeds in supporting the appeal, and that we can make a real difference at least to some of the broken lives in Sri Lanka. My Deputy Lord Mayor, I would be happy for other Leaders to comment in support of what I have just said.

The lists of Councillors are ordered first by the date of their first election, then by their length of service, and then alphabetically. There are Leeds City Council elections in three years out of four, with no elections in 1981, 1985, 1989 and so on, except that because of the Covid pandemic, there were no elections in2020, but elections in 2021. The elections in 1980, 2004 and 2018 were contested on new ward boundaries, with three seats up for election in each ward. In other years only one seat was up for election in each ward, except in a few cases when there was also a casual vacancy to be filled. Sometimes when the boundaries of a ward were changed, its name also changed. The years from 1980 in which a ward of a given name existed are given after the name. Current wards are listed first, followed by former wards. The lists of Councillors by ward are followed by an alphabetical index of all the Councillors elected in the given period.

Since the abolition of the metropolitan counties in 1986, England’s northern cities have arguably been underpowered economically, lacking the critical mass to lever power and investment from Whitehall and the strong governance arrangements that would allow them to pool funds and direct them at the best prospects for growth.
