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. This Family Support Fund was made available immediately from the Council's reserves, and funds were released to help support those families who were made homeless. It is expected that this can be claimed back from the recovery scheme. The Mayor of Croydon's Charity Fund accepted donations to help those affected by the unrest. Croydon Council, alongside other local authorities, joined with a group of high-profile companies and the Mayor of London to create the High Street Fund. Local shops and small businesses that suffered from the disturbances are benefiting from that cash fund. CQ424 - 11 from Councillor Chris Wright LE Would the Leader please outline the plans for Croydon to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee in June 2012? Reply Croydon will be supporting local communities to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee in 2012. In 2011 Croydon residents celebrated both the Royal Wedding and the Big Lunch, with a combined total of over 80 street parties, events in parks and other council land. To help residents and groups organise their celebrations for the Big Jubilee Lunch on 3 June 2012, I intend to the reduce the bureaucracy that surrounds the organisation of street parties in particular covering the Traffic Management Order (TMO) cost normally involved in applying for a road closure. To make the process as easy as possible residents will be able to register their events through a single online party event form. I propose that Croydon takes part in the national Beacon lighting that will be taking place throughout the United Kingdom. Further details about Croydon’s celebrations for the Diamond Jubilee will be published on our Diamond Jubilee pages shortly: ww.croydon.gov.uk/community/equality/rwbl/dl CQ436 - 11 from Councillor Adam Kellett LE Can Ken Livingstone's announcement that he would cut fares if he was elected as Mayor of London be believed in view of his past history on fares policy? Reply No, this demonstrates again how the Labour candidate for Mayor of London is out of touch with reality and London’s financial challenges. When Ken Livingstone was in office his inflationary busting increases were greater than under the current Mayor this included an increase of 36.46% on bus fares in his second term. He has announced fare reductions with no idea of how they will be paid for and what that would mean for the transport infrastructure which is the life blood of the economic recovery. TFL has labelled the policy “completely irresponsible” and the only way to achieve such reductions would be sweeping cuts across the network- with massive delays to upgrading programme for the underground and reduced spending on buses which would mean cuts to bus routes. For Croydon this could mean drastic reductions to our bus services and increased risks to safety with likely cuts to police on the transport network directly impacting As always with Labour politicians it’s spend, spend, spend without thinking of the consequences to our residents and businesses. CQ453 - 11 from Councillor Tony Newman LE On key political issues your Cabinet Member Councillor O’Connell now states he is against the Tory led Coalition Governments planning policy and against Boris Johnson's cuts to police numbers and train station staff, do you share his views? Reply The Leader of the Opposition has again got his facts wrong. Councillor O’Connell and the Mayor of London are at one on the approach to transport and community safety issues protecting the interest of Londoners and Croydon residents. The Coalition Government is consulting on its draft planning policies listening to communities, planning professionals, developers and locally elected representatives to make sure they introduce a new planning policy framework that supports economic growth whist protecting our countryside and driving our economic recovery. CQ454 - 11 from Councillor Tony Newman LE How many staff is your new Council office designed to accommodate? Reply The Bernard Weatherill House is designed as a Public Services Delivery Hub which will facilitate integrated services provision with partners to the residents of Croydon. This will include a remodelled Access Croydon provision. The Bernard Weatherill House is also a key component of the Councils property rationalisation and will enable release of properties around the borough. The Bernard Weatherill House is planned on the basis of having c1900 workstations plus a meeting room suite, other meeting rooms, breakout and touch down areas throughout the building. The Council is developing new ways of working approaches to increase overall efficiency of space utilisation and improve services to our customers. This includes the introduction of four new work styles, namely home, fixed, mobile and flexible working. On the current assumed ratio or 3:2 of staff: desks, we anticipate that a total of approx 2,400 people will be in Bernard Weatherill House on a daily basis. CQ455 - 11 from Councillor Tony Newman LE In light of the need to encourage jobs and business to both stay in Croydon and move here do you agree with me that we should look again at your decision to close down so much of our Towns Artistic offer that used to be based in the Clock Tower complex. Reply The council is committed to working to enhance the provision of the cultural and artistic facilities within Croydon. It is doing this in partnership with key cultural organisations. In addition the council is directly delivering arts participation for adults, particularly vulnerable groups and young people, through a new youth arts participation scheme. All opportunities will be sought to provide a sustainable cultural offer in the town centre. This will include exploring opportunities for future uses of the facilities in the Clock tower in addition to the current facilities, the Central Library, the Museum of Croydon, the Riesco collection and the borough archive. CQ456 - 11 from Councillor Stuart Collins LE The estimated cost of full repairs following the riots is higher than our share of the £20 million fund mentioned by the Mayor of London. Will the Leader use some of the Council’s substantial capital reserves, which is of course Council tax payer’s money, to bridge any funding gap? Reply The Council do not have any capital reserves and therefore could not use these. The Council has worked very closely with the government to ensure that Croydon can get back to business as soon as possible. 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. The £20m enterprise and growth package referred to in the question is a separate funding stream provided by the Government but delivered through the Mayor of London and is available to both Croydon and Haringey with the intention “to kick-start economic regeneration, support business and deliver new job opportunities”. The London Enterprise Fund is intended to provide specific, targeted support for Tottenham and Croydon to “arrest and reverse economic decline, provide immediate investment and boost the local economies” and is seen as a longer term initiative rather than funding to cope with the immediate aftermath of the civil disorder. CQ468 - 11 from Councillor Sherwan Chowdhury LE According to financial analysis of this country, government members are saying that as a consequence of the global recession governments and all local authorities are facing significant reduction of funding. Could the Leader confirm this to me explain how Croydon is affected by department? Reply As a result of the 2010 Spending Review the Local Government Finance Settlement for 2011/12 and 2012/13 (provisional) resulted in actual cash reductions, after damping, of 11.2% and 8.3% respectively in Croydon’s formula grant. Although the Settlement does not go beyond 2012/13 the Spending Review’s figures indicates that for 2013/14 and 2014/15 Croydon’s Formula Grant (or its successor) will be reduced, in cash terms, by a further 1.0% and 6.5% respectively.
