Minutes:

A – Executive Leader’s Report

 

A written report was received from the Executive Leader, Cllr Aspden, on the work of the Executive.

 

Members were then invited to question the Leader on his report.  Questions were received from the floor from the following Members in relation to the subjects listed, and replied to as indicated:

 

York Central

Cllr K Taylor: how will plans progress if the public inquiry determines Leeman Road should remain open?

(Supplementary from Cllr Webb: what will be the impact of  Network Rail’s apparent threat at Planning Committee to pull out of the land deal?)

 

Response: should this happen the York Central Partnership will need to look at that aspect of the reserved planning matters. An update will be provided to the Executive meeting in April. Stakeholders wish to protect their commercial position in any negotiations, but the fact that the project has progressed this far demonstrates the success of the partnership approach.

 

Local Government Reorganisation

Cllr Fisher: can you outline what the council has done to progress the aim to keep York within its current boundaries?

 

Response: partners aree working together on making the case for decisions on York to be taken within the city, and also working with North Yorkshire on devolution, so that the government can consider the strength of feeling in York.  The government’s response is expected in summer 2021.

 

Local Plan

Cllr Kilbane: the Chair of York Property Forum was quoted in the Press as describing the lack of progress as an embarrassment – has the council failed to follow the Inspector’s instructions?

(Supplementaries from Cllrs Wells and Kilbane on the timetable and the consequences of it not being met).

 

Response: we have been without a Local Plan for decades, across many administrations.  More progress has now been made on the Plan than ever before; it has cross-party support and a timetable has been agreed.  It is in all our interests to keep to the timetable and work to get the Plan adopted.

 

Responding to Covid-19

Cllr Vassie: following the success of the local test and trace system last year, what are the future plans for this?

 

Response: this success has been due to the hard work of our public health team, and if local authorities had been trusted earlier the systems would have operated more smoothly.  York was one of the first to start local test and trace, and the government has now agreed that all local testing for the city will be undertaken locally.  We can all be part of that effort.

 

 

 

B – Executive Recommendations

 

Plans for the Future of the Health and Care System in York

 

Cllr Aspden moved, and Cllr D’Agorne seconded, the following recommendation contained in Minute 118 of the Executive meeting held on 18 March 2021:
