The Mayor’s Chaplain to give a blessing. 

Iman Gulfraz from Edmonton Mosque gave the blessing.    

The Mayor thanked Iman Gulfraz for his blessing and then made the following announcements: 

She began by saying that she had been pleased to see so many people at the recent funeral of former councillor Bill Price and felt sure that his family would be blessed and comforted by this. 

1.               Update on Mayoral Engagements

The Mayor advised that she had attended many engagements in the past month, the highlights being: 

·       A seminar on child protection

·       A lunch for elderly people organised by the Lefkara Association

·       The Cinnamon Faith Audit Report’s Event on reviving churches in Enfield

·       The Jack Petchey Awards Evening on 23 February 2016

2.               London New Year’s Day and Enfield’s Christmas Parade of Light Cheque Presentation

3.               Award to Enfield Public Safety Centre Team

The Enfield Public Safety Centre recently gained the Surveillance Camera Commissioner’s certificate of compliance relating to public space CCTV, having been assessed as complying with the 12 guiding principles of the Surveillance Code of Practice.

At the ceremony, the work of the team was praised for providing a centre of excellence.  Enfield was the first London borough to be given this award.

Enfield’s Public Safety Centre monitored over 1000 surveillance cameras, not only street cameras but also cameras sited in council buildings, depots and other sites.  It also provided safety monitoring for over 400 lone workers, including social services employees, security officers and housing staff who carry out vital work in the community.

The Mayor, on behalf of the Council, congratulated staff for their hard work and achievement and invited Alan Gardner, Public Centre Safety Manager, to come forward to receive the certificate of behalf of his team.

4.               Mayor’s Charity Ball – 12 March 2016

The Mayor reminded members that there were still tickets available for her Charity Ball taking place at Forty Hall on Saturday 12 March 2016.  She asked them to contact Alison Brookes in the Mayor’s Office as soon as possible in order to guarantee a ticket. 

To approve the minutes of the meeting held on 28 January 2016 as a correct record.

AGREED that minutes of the meeting held on Thursday 28 January 2016 be confirmed and signed as a correct record. 

Apologies for absence were received from Councillors Ali Bakir, Lee David-Sanders, Dino Lemonides, Don McGowan, and Turgut Esendagli.

Apologies for lateness were received from Councillors Katherine Chibah, Jansev Jemal and Ozzie Uzoanya.

Members of the Council are invited to identify any disclosable pecuniary interests, other pecuniary or non pecuniary interests relevant to items on the agenda. 

Before inviting members to declare any interests, the Mayor asked John Austin (Assistant Director Governance Projects) to make a short statement regarding the declaration of interests’ requirements in relation to Item 7 Budget Report 2016/17 and Medium Term Financial Plan. 

Council noted:

1.     Under guidance issued by the Department of Communities and Local Government members would not be required to declare a Disclosable Pecuniary Interest (DPA) in relation to the budget or setting of the Council Tax.  This was on the basis that Council Tax liability would apply to the borough’s population as a whole, with councillors not having any unique position in that regard.  The requirements within Section 106 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 would, however, still apply, which required any Member who was two or more months in arrears on their Council Tax to declare their position and not vote on any issue that could affect the calculation of the budget or Council Tax.  No declarations in this respect were made at the meeting.

2.     The Councillor Conduct Committee (May 2013) had also granted a dispensation for all members in terms of the declaration of Disclosable Pecuniary Interests relating to the setting of housing rents.

Subject to the requirements within Section 106 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992, this would allow all members to participate in the debate and vote on decisions relating to the setting of the Council Tax and Housing Rents.

Having noted the advice provided, the following declaration of interests were made at the meeting:

Agenda Item 7 (Budget Report 2016/17 and Medium Term Financial Plan):

·             Councillor Bernadette Lappage declared a disclosable pecuniary interest due to her husband’s employment by the North London Waste Authority.

·             Councillor Joanne Laban declared a non-pecuniary interest in relation to the GLA precept due her employment by the Deputy Mayor for London.

Agenda Item 9 (Review and Adoption of Statutory Pay Policy Statement)

·             Councillor Claire Stewart declared a disclosable pecuniary interest as she was employed by Unison.

·             Councillor Mary Maguire declared a non-pecuniary interest. 

To receive the report of the Director of Finance, Resources & Customer Services presenting for approval the Budget for 2016/17 and Medium Term Financial Plan (General Fund).  (Report No.171A)

(Key Decision – Reference No. 4175)

Members are asked to note that:

·            Recommendations 2.1 – 2.14 were endorsed and recommended onto Council for formal approval by Cabinet on 10 February 2016.

·            The report will need to be considered in conjunction with Report No.178  on the Part 2 Council agenda.

Before the item was taken Councillor Neville expressed concern that:

a.         The Council was being asked to consider the outcome of the Overview & Scrutiny budget consultation meeting (recommendation 2.14 of the report) after the other recommendations, when it would have made more sense to consider it before the other recommendations.

b.         The Overview and Scrutiny Budget meeting had been held the day before the final budget papers were due to be circulated which gave little time for any feedback from the meeting to be taken account of and any suggestions incorporated. 

In response to the concerns raised, Councillor Taylor advised that the recommendations were not listed in any particular sequence so this could be taken before the other recommendations.

Councillor Taylor moved and Councillor Stafford seconded the report of the Director of Finance, Resources and Customer Services (171A) presenting for approval the Budget for 2016/17 and the Medium Term Financial Plan. 

NOTED

1.         Recommendations 2.1 – 2.14 had been endorsed and recommended onto Council for formal approval by Cabinet on 10 February 2016.

2.         The report would need to be considered in conjunction with Report No:  178A on the Part 2 Council agenda (Min ??? refers).

3.      The Leader of the Council’s thanks to James Rolfe (Director of Finance, Resources and Customer Services and his officers for the preparation of the budget during such a difficult period for public finances.

4.      The following comments highlighted by the Leader of the Council:

a.         Concern was expressed at the significant reductions by Central Government in local authority funding and particularly adverse effect this would have on the most vulnerable in society;

b.      The ongoing pressures on the Council’s budget as a result of the significant reduction in local government funding and continued austerity measures by Central Government, increasing level of demand on services and the negative impact of the Government’s funding allocation damping mechanism, especially when compared to other local authorities such as Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea.  As a result the Leader informed Council of his intention to launch a Fair Funding for Enfield Campaign in order to campaign for a fairer funding mechanism.  The concerns highlighted in relation to the damping mechanism were shared by the Leader of the Opposition, who confirmed that the Opposition Group would support the campaign.

c.       The approach highlighted by the Leader of the Council towards management of the Council’s resources and delivery of a balanced budget.  Despite ongoing austerity, reductions in funding and pressures created locally by the current economic climate, significant efficiencies had been achieved with a focus on the need to protect services to residents for as long as possible whilst also providing investment in key projects and priorities.

d.      That whilst the Administration was committed to protecting services for  residents, complying with legal obligations, making efficiencies where possible, investing in housing and jobs there were no longer, given the scale of funding reductions and savings already achieved, any easy options given the ongoing financial pressures on the Council.

As advised during her announcements, the Mayor adjourned the meeting at this stage for a short comfort break which ran from 21:40 and 21:50.

(Report No.172A)

(Key Decision – Reference No. 4174)

Members are asked to note that the recommendations in the report were endorsed and approved for recommendation onto Council by Cabinet on 10 February 2016.

NOTED

1.          That the recommendations in the report were endorsed and approved for recommendation on to Council by Cabinet on 10 February 2016. 

2.          The report had been prepared in the context of the Government’s Welfare Reform and Work Bill and Housing and Planning Bill which were progressing through Parliament.

3.          The HRA budget and 30 year business plan had been rebalanced taking account of the proposals introduced by the Government in July 2015 to reduce social rents by 1% per year for 4 years from 2016/17.

4.          Only minor amendments have been made since November 2015 when Cabinet approved the updated 30 year HRA Business Plan. 

5.          Thanks to officers for all their work on these proposals.

6.          Since 2010 the Council had spent £206m on refurbishing council stock and £7.5m on efficiency bills. The Administration had promised to build £10,000 homes in its Manifesto and was on target to do so. 

7.          Whilst supportive of some of the recommendations in the report (2.1 d,e,f,g,h, and 2.2) concerns were raised by the Opposition Group regarding:

a.          The fact that the Government’s proposals for “pay to stay” and the “sell off” of high value housing stock had not been taken account of in the 30 Year Plan.

b.          The large increase in leaseholder charges

c.           The Housing Revenue Account Capital Programme and the ability of the authority to complete the current developments in the light of lack of progress on the small sites programme.

d.          The lack of detail on the proposals for the Council’s own housing association. 

8.          In response to the concerns raised under 7 above the Cabinet Member for Housing and Housing Regeneration reminded members of the progress made by the current Administration in developing and implementing the rebuilding strategy.

Following a period of debate the recommendations in the report were put to the vote and approved as follows:

(6)    To approve the level of service charges for those properties receiving the services.

Please note the minutes reflect the order in which the items were dealt with at the meeting.

Councillor Maguire moved and Councillor Nesil Cazimoglu seconded the following motion: 

“This council is appalled that the services that out local communities rely on continue to face deep cuts in Government funding. Enfield Council has already shouldered £118m of cuts since 2010 and is faced with further cuts in excess of £50m by 2020.

This Labour Administration, in partnership with officers, has worked hard to find innovative ways to save money, to continue to deliver services and to give best value to the people of Enfield.  This Council thanks officers and members for their dedication and commitment in dealing with those cuts in a sensitive and constructive manner. 

However, further cuts to funding will leave this Council struggling to deliver the services that the people of Enfield need and deserve.

This Council resolves to work with the Local Government Association, politicians, trade unions, community organisations, the charity and voluntary sector, to expose the damaging and dangerous nature of these cuts and impress on the Government the need to reverse them and to fund local government properly.”

Following a short debate, Councillor Elaine Hayward moved and Councillor Neville seconded procedural motion 12.12 (a) (i) that the question be now put.

This was defeated after a vote with the following result.

For 18

Against: 33

Abstentions: 0

Councillor Stewart then moved and Councillor Taylor seconded a procedural motion (under Council Procedure Rule 11m) to further extend the time of the meeting by an additional 5 minutes, in order to complete the debate on the motion and allow sufficient time for the recorded vote that would be required on the Part 2 agenda item.

This was put to the vote and agreed, with the following result:

Against: 13

Abstentions: 0

The definition of an urgent question is “An issue which could not reasonably have been foreseen or anticipated prior to the deadline for the submission of questions and which needs to be considered before the next meeting of the Council.”

Submission of urgent questions to Council requires the Member when submitting the question to specify why the issue could not have been reasonably foreseen prior to the deadline and why it has to be considered before the next meeting.  A supplementary question is not permitted.

10.2    Councillors’ Questions (Part 4 – Paragraph 9.2(a) of Constitution – Page 4 - 8)

NOTED the sixty four questions on the Council agenda and the written responses provided by the relevant Cabinet members. 

11.1    In the name of Councillor Barry:

“If the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is agreed, the people of Enfield will lose many of the regulations that protect their environment, their food and their rights as workers.

A report commissioned by the Government concluded that TTIP offers “few or no benefits to the UK while having meaningful economic and political costs.”

This Council resolves:

•             To call on the Government to put the national interests of our people above those of big businesses and to reject this agreement.

•             To write to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, local MPs, MLAs, and all London MEPs raising our serious concerns about the impact of TTIP on local authorities and the secrecy of the negotiating process.

•             To write to the Local Government Association to raise our serious concerns about the impact of TTIP on local authorities and ask them to raise these with Government on our behalf.

•             To call for an impact assessment on the impact of TTIP on local authorities.

•             To publicise the Council’s concerns about TTIP; join with other local authorities which are opposed to TTIP across Europe and work with local campaigners to raise awareness about the problems of TTIP.

•             To contact the local authorities of municipalities twinned with Enfield asking them to consider passing a similar motion on TTIP.”

11.2    In the name of Councillor Maguire:

“This council is appalled that the services that out local communities rely on continue to face deep cuts in Government funding.  Enfield Council has already shouldered £118m of cuts since 2010 and is faced with further cuts in excess of £50m by 2020.

11.3In the name of Councillor Nesil Cazimoglu:

“The country, particularly London, is facing a housing crisis and residents in Enfield are feeling the effects.  This Council believes that the government’s Housing and Planning Bill will only make the situation worse; and that the only real solution is to build more homes.

House building is at its lowest since the 1920’s; private rents have increased by 37% in the past five years and the government continue to use billions of pounds of public money to subsidise private landlords through housing benefit.

“The country, particularly London, is facing a housing crisis and residents in Enfield are feeling the effects.  This Council believes that the government’s Housing and Planning Bill will only make the situation worse; and that the only real solution is to build more homes.

House building is at its lowest since the 1920’s; private rents have increased by 37% in the past five years and the government continue to use billions of pounds of public money to subsidise private landlords through housing benefit.

The Housing and Planning Bill would:

·             Forces ‘high-value’ council homes to be sold on the open market;

·             Extend the right-to-buy to housing association tenants and

·             Undermine section 106 requirements on private developers to provide affordable homes

There is no commitment in the Bill that affordable homes will be replaced like-for-like in the local area.

This Council resolves that the Bill undermines localism by granting the Secretary of State the power to override local plans, to mandate rents for social tenants and to impose a levy on stock-holding councils, violating the terms of the Housing Revenue Account self-financing deal.

This Council calls on the government to grant local authorities the powers and financial ability to increase the supply of housing for our residents.  Councils must be given the financial flexibilities they need to be able to scale up housing development, both in partnership and directly.”
