(a) By Councillor Nolan “That this Council notes that there are rumours of a proposed local government reorganisation in the area, which will result in a merger of East Riding of Yorkshire and Hull City Council and the creation of a new unitary authority in their place. This Council considers that residents in the East Riding do not want to be merged with Hull City Council. The Council therefore resolves to oppose any move to merge the two Councils without the consent of our residents.” (b) By Councillor Johnson “That in view of the significant parking problems in Beverley, and to help alleviate this issue, this Council requests Officers to bring forward the Beverley Park and Ride scheme as a matter of urgency in this financial year. To be drawn from reserves and subsequently recovered from the developers from Section 106 contributions.” (c) By Councillor Padden “That this Council notes - 1. That many East Riding residents are suffering as a result of the pandemic and the uplift in Universal Credit has been a lifeline to them. We should be increasing support to unemployed people and their families at this time, not reducing it. 2. At a time when local economies and independent shops are taking a hit from the on-going restrictions on the high-street, the increase in benefit levels has also supported local businesses and local jobs during the pandemic and will continue to do so as people are more mindful to shop local and support their communities. The Council therefore resolves to write to the Chancellor calling for him to reconsider ending this uplift in April 2021 and instead make the £20 increase to Universal Credit permanent.” (d) By Councillor Weeks “That this Council; • Supports parents’ rights to choose to Home Educate their children. • Understands the current law relating to Elective Home Education, namely; o Education is compulsory. School is not. o Education should be ‘suitable and efficient’. o There is no mandatory registration for Elective Home Education. • Recognises the fantastic work the Education Welfare Service do to support parents who decide to Home Educate their children. • Shares the concern of staff regarding the lack of mandatory registration for Elective Home Education and the lack of a clearly defined national definition for ‘suitable and efficient’ education. Resolves to; Write to the Prime Minister, Secretary of State for Education and Chairman of the House of Commons Education Select Committee, to request the Government explore options to introduce mandatory registration and a national definition for what constitutes ‘suitable and efficient’ education.” 12.
