                                                                                                            (Report No: 19)

                                                            (Key Decision - Reference No:  KD 4218)

Members are asked to approve the formal adoption of the North East Enfield Area Action Plan, to form part of Enfield's Local Plan.

Members are asked to note that Annex 1 (referred to in the report) is attached. Annex 2 (also referred to in the report) can be viewed electronically and copies are available in the Members Lounge and the Group Offices.

Councillor Sitkin moved and Councillor Pite seconded a report (Report No: 20).from the Director of Regeneration and Environment on the formal adoption of the North East Enfield Area Action Plan 

NOTED

1.               That the North East Enfield Area Action Plan was part of the Local Plan and adopted core strategy.  The plan would set the strategic priorities to ensure that future development would have a regenerating effect.

2.               It had taken a long time to complete the action plan: work had begun in 2007, stalled in 2009, been held up as a result of neighbouring authority concerns in 2013, only agreed by Council for Consultation in 2014  and had only recently been approved by the Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.

3.               The final inspection report had been very positive with only a few modifications proposed.

4.               Concrete, positive work had already been done in the area including projects such as the Electric Quarter in Ponders End, development of housing projects as well as research around the Northern Gateway Access Road and the Northern Gateway Access Package.  Crossrail 2, if approved could change the hinterland.  The proposals for changes at the level crossing would also have an effect.

5.               Constructive engagement had taken place with the public and key partners. 

6.               The plan would be reformulated to take account of transport decisions, to ameliorate any adverse effects and would be subject to further modifications.

7.               The congratulations of the Conservative Group for completing the plan, but also the following concerns:

a.     The concern, that was also highlighted in the plan about low educational achievement, benefit dependency, competition for low skilled jobs and the need for better secondary educational provision in the area. 

b.     Concern that proposals were too dependent on the very long term prospect of the Crossrail 2 project. 

c.     Concern that the Council was not attracting enough income through the community infrastructure levy and that more needed to be done to improve the area. 

d.     Concern that more needed to be done to prevent heavy traffic coming through the residential areas adjoining the M25 and the A211.

e.     Concern about what was seen as the failure to make the case for the Northern Gateway Access Road.

f.      The view that the area needed to attract more economically active residents, to increase numbers of owner occupiers and the suggestion that the Council should consider changing the 40% threshold for affordable housing to 20%. 

g.     The need for better flood mitigation proposals in the Lea Valley.  

h.     Concern about the lack of serious focus on the conservation areas. 

i.       The willingness of the Planning Committee to ignore that plan when agreeing a recent planning committee application for a supermarket in the area. 

8.               The summing up of Councillor Sitkin that the Northern Gateway Access Package did not preclude the Northern Gateway Access Road and that the administration were as concerned as anyone that it should be progressed.

During the debate the meeting was suspended  ...  view the full minutes text for item 33.

To receive, for noting and information only, the report of the Director of Regeneration and Environment presenting the outcome of the Meridian Water Master Developer Partner procurement process.

(Report No: 20)

(Key Decision – Reference number KD 4241)

TO FOLLOW

Members are asked to note that Cabinet, at the meeting held on 18 May 2016, approved the selection of the Council’s Preferred Developer Partner for Meridian Water and delegated authority to agree the final terms of the Master Developer Framework Agreement and all associated contract and property documents/agreements. 

Councillor Sitkin moved and Councillor Oykener seconded the report (Report No: 20) of the Director of Regeneration and Environment presenting the outcome of the Meridian Water Master Developer Partner procurement process.

NOTED that

1.               Cabinet at their meeting held on 18 May 2016 had approved the decision which Council was being asked to note. 

2.               The praise of Councillor Sitkin, Cabinet Member for Economic Regeneration and Business Development and other members, for this multimillion initiative involving the creation of 10,000 new homes and over 6,700 permanent jobs in the area. 

3.               The thanks to officers who had helped bring about the deal including Rob Leak, James Rolfe, Ian Davis and Peter George. 

4.               The pride in the significance of the achievement in concluding the deal, one of the biggest in the UK, which had received positive publicity in the BBC and on other news outlets, and the hope that all would celebrate it.

5.               That the 10,000 new homes built would go a long way to address the housing crisis, 30% being affordable.  Ten thousand construction jobs would also be created.

6.               That this initiative should enable Edmonton to be no longer one of the top ten most deprived places in the country. 

7.               A full range of infrastructure facilities would also be provided including two new primary schools, a new secondary school, a health centre and the new station.  The principle beneficiaries would be local people. 

8.               The happiness of the Opposition Group to note the deal, which had been initiated under their administration, but also concern:

a.     That the decision had been taken, under the urgency rules, by Cabinet in part 2, and that there had not been a proper opportunity to debate, possibly the biggest decision the Council had ever taken, at full Council.

b.     That many of the jobs created by Sergo, the commercial partner, would be low skilled and that this was a missed opportunity to create high skilled, high waged jobs for local people. 

c.     That the right choice of developer might not have been made.

d.     That there had been delays in getting the work on site started and concern whether work would be completed within the timescales. 

e.     That more compulsory purchase orders should have been used and that if there was legal advice to the contrary this should have been publically available.

f.      That the developer should be bearing more of the infrastructure costs and also making a larger contribution to the subsidy arrangements for 4 trains per hour. 

g.     That there should be regular reports back to Council over the next 20 years. 

9.               To recognise that thanks were due to Boris Johnson, the former Mayor of London, for his support of the scheme. 

10.           In response to the concerns raised in Item 8 above the majority view that it was necessary that certain commercial issues be considered in the part 2 section of a meeting and that the Council would receive a significant return on the investments.  That  ...  view the full minutes text for item 34.

To receive a report from the Director of Finance Resources and Customer Services detailing the outcome of a review into the structure and operation of Council meetings and proposing a range of amendments to the Council Procedure Rules.  (Report No.17) (Non-Key)

Members are asked to note that the proposed amendments were referred on to Council for consideration by the Member and Democratic Services Group (21 April 2016).

Councillor Simon moved and Councillor Taylor seconded the report (Report No: 17) from the Director of Finance, Resources and Customer Services detailing the outcome of a review into the structure and operation of Council meetings and proposing a range of amendments to the Council procedure rules.

NOTED

1.               That the proposed amendments to the Council Procedure Rules had been referred on to Council for consideration, by the Member and Democratic Services Group, at their meeting on 21 April 2016. 

2.               That the aim of the proposed changes was to speed up the proceedings and to enable members to get through more of the business on the council agenda.  The changes included: timing agendas, limiting the number of questions, shortening the speeches, changing the procedure for amendments, providing an opportunity for a supplementary question on an urgent question, overall to sharpen up debate. 

3.               Limiting the number of questions would reduce costs and the amount of time spent by officers on providing the responses. 

4.               Whilst agreeing with the suggestions initially discussed including for dealing with questions, the Opposition Group did not agree with the current proposals and were concerned about what they saw as restrictions on the democratic process including the limits being put forward on the number of questions allowed, the ability to displace the position of opposition business and the restrictions on alternative recommendations. 

5.               The Opposition view that the rights of back benchers to ask questions should not be curtailed and the ability to question the administration on behalf of the residents of Enfield should not be limited.  Other neighbouring authorities such as Barnet had no restrictions. 

6.               The Opposition acknowledgement that something needed to be done to encourage more members of the public to attend meetings and to enable business to be transacted in the allocated time, but felt these changes were not the answer. 

7.               The majority party view that introducing these changes would allow more time to be spent discussing other reports on issues such as education and housing, matters of more importance to the Council. 

8.               Councillor Simon’s summing up that there was a need for timed agendas as shown by the progress made on the evening.  He assured the Opposition that there were no plans to change the 45 minutes allocated to opposition business, that amendments would be , but at the end of the debate, and that time limits on speeches would allow more speeches and more time for more speakers to have their say.  In future, if the changes did not work they could be amended.

NOTED

1.               That the task group had been set up a year ago to review the processes and procedures in place for dealing with young people in vulnerable situations. 

2.               A lot of ground had been covered.  Some members of the group had attended multi agency meetings. 

3.               Concern was expressed that training sessions held for members on this subject had been poorly attended.

8.               The support of the Leader for the work of the task group, that he had been shocked by some of the examples that had come to his attention.  The Council had an excellent department, but complacency had to be guarded against.  It was important that members played an active role, that there should be a transparent approach and that exploitation should not occur in this borough.  He welcomed the cross party wish to work to prevent it and hoped all members would support the proposals.  

9.               Making the case for the under reporting of issues affecting 16 and 17 year olds and for better mental health support was also important.

4.       To recommend that a qualitative piece of research is carried out during 2016/17 deepening our understanding and detailing the characteristics of those children that run away.  ...  view the full minutes text for item 38.

The Mayor advised, at this stage of the meeting, that the time available to complete the agenda had now elapsed so Council Procedure Rule 8 would apply.

NOTED that in accordance with Council Procedure Rule 8 (page 4-8 – Part 4), the remaining items of business on the Council agenda were considered without debate.

There were no urgent questions.

1.2     Questions by Councillors

NOTED the fifty three questions and their written responses provided by the relevant Cabinet members. 

13.1    In the name of Councillor Ahmet Oykener

“Homelessness is an issue that all councillors and MP’s should fight to eradicate.  Helping those less fortunate is a pillar of civic service that is of the utmost importance.  The Council recognises that:

Homelessness comes in many forms from rough sleeping and street homelessness through to sofa surfing and those languishing in temporary accommodation.

Homelessness is predominantly a London problem, yet the government funding to support Councils in tackling this serious issue is based on a Communities and Local Government funding model that is 15 years old.  Enfield has the fifth worst homelessness problem nationally yet only received £550K from central government while other boroughs receive sums up to £8m per annum.

The Council therefore agrees to:

1.       Publish on its website and through other means the details of all homeless shelters and charities that can assist those that are homeless, in particular those that offer services during the winter months.

2.       Lobby the Minister of State for Housing and Planning to fund London Borough of Enfield fairly so to prevent homelessness”.

13.2    In the name of Councillor Joanne Laban: 

The Council notes the poor response to enquiries that many residents are experiencing when trying to contact the Council, in particular:

•         Typical waiting times to the Council Call Centre taking between 10 and 20 minutes with many missed calls as a consequence.

•         Failures in the Council’s website preventing residents readily accessing the service required.

•         Lack of response to emails sent to specific Council officers.

•         Failures to respond to members enquiries within 10 days. 

These failings are unacceptable, and the Council resolves to refer them to the Overview and Scrutiny Committee to receive a report addressing: waiting times, staffing issues and missed calls at the Call Centre; statistics on usage of the Council website and incomplete transactions: a breakdown by directorate of how emails are dealt with and the timeliness of responses; statistics for members’ enquiries based upon the timing of the initial enquiry and promising a response within 10 days), instructing the committee to consider all available evidence, and make recommendations to Council about how these failings in customer services can be rectified. 

13.3    In the name of Councillor Joanne Laban:

“The Council notes the need for a last minute report to the Cabinet on 18 May 2016 seeking authority and substantial finance to purchase land at Meridian Water which the current owner had threatened to sell to a third party, and condemns the dilatory and potentially costly approach to assembling for this “flagship development” shown by the administration over the past six years.”

13.4    In the name of Councillor Alessandro Georgiou:

“This Council recognises that the Union Flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a symbol of Freedom and represents all that is great about the United Kingdom.

The Council will therefore have the Union Flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland present in all full Council meetings.  ...  view the full agenda text for item 41.
