I am eternally humbled to know that Reverend Canon Stewart Lisk will indeed continue in his office as Honorary Chaplain and it also gives me great pleasure to announce that we will also have our first Muslim female imam, Alima Amina Shaban as Lord Mayor’s Honorary Chaplain. This council has for many years welcomed prayers from different faith and none faith groups to reflect the population and we will indeed continue to do so. At the marble hall there will be many civic guests alongside representatives from different groups. My commitment to the citizens of this great and diverse city is that LM office will be welcoming of all and I will do my utmost to reach out and meet with people from across the city. I look forward to receiving invites from all wards across the city and attending events and functions amongst all communities of Cardiff. It gives me great pleasure to introduce LM charity of the year UCAN production, UCAN productions is a performance and creative arts organisation for blind and partially sighted children/young people. It is a Cardiff based organisation and they have transformed the lives of many young people in Cardiff, young people that may have been written-off due to their differing abilities. UCAN helps in building an inclusive environment for these young people and also installs confidence in them in such a way that there is absolutely nothing that these children and young people CAN’t achieve in life and hence they are UCAN. At the reception you will have the opportunity to meet couple of such extraordinary young people and find out about the charity and my appeal to all in supporting this fantastic charity.
The Leader drew attention to the following. A year since last May’s Council elections, one year since the residents of Cardiff put their trust in each and every once of us to represent and serve them and provide leadership for this city. Thanked the fantastic officers and staff for the work they did in a challenging year. The cost of living in particular had hit households hard, with the poorest in the communities hit hardest of all and in times of crisis people had turned to their local council and councillors for support. The disturbances that had taken place in Ely following the tragic death of two young people, deepest sympathies were conveyed to the families of Harvey Evans and Kyrie Sullivan as they try to make sense of the grievous loss of their two boys. The disorder that followed was shocking, and rest assured that the Council would be doing everything that they could with the local community and key partners to ensure that calm was restored to the area. Moving forward, it was important that a full investigation into exactly what happened took place, and the referral by South Wales Police to the Independent Office for Police Conduct was an important step. Openness and dialogue were vital components of ensuring public trust in the institutions that serve them, as is having the humility to recognise that in some parts of the community, the level of public trust in institutions was not where it needs to be. Members of the bereaved families have called for peace within the community so that the investigation can be carried out. The Leader with everyone in the Chamber, joined the family in echoing these sentiments. The cost of living crisis, the demand on council services had now reached unprecedented levels. The fundamental changes that have been seen, and the scale and complexity of service demand post-Covid were here to stay. New risks and new issues continue to emerge and inflationary and workforce pressures impact all Council services. Despite a better than hoped for financial settlement last year, the medium term financial position was extremely challenging, compounded by difficult market and economic conditions. In the face of these extraordinary circumstances, this Council has continued and would continue to make progress on issues that were important. For example, leading the way in tackling discrimination, with Cardiff Council now being the highest-ranked local authority in the Stonewall Workplace Equality Index, and the Cabinet accepting every recommendation and taking forward action on the work of the Race Equality Task Force. The successful Levelling Up bid, match funded by the Welsh government, means being a step closer to giving the residents of Cardiff the public transport system they deserve. In the face of that unprecedented demand, the Council were building more council housing and more temporary accommodation, and continue to invest in the future of young people with that record-breaking school rebuilding program. This work was being delivered everyday along with the weight of responsibility and councillors could also take a sense of pride in the role played as community leaders, changing lives for the better and delivering local responses to national and global challenges.
