Council considered the Minutes of the meeting held on 15 December 2022. The Minutes were Moved by Councillor Simon Hancock; Seconded by Councillor Pat Davies. The vote, undertaken by way of a show of hands, was carried. RESOLVED That the Minutes of the Council Meeting held on 15 December 2022 be approved as a correct record.
Councillor Alec Cormack, the relevant Cabinet Member, responded to two questions submitted by a member of the public, Mr John Hudson, prior to the meeting in accordance with the provisions of Council Procedure Rule 4.9 as follows: Cabinet approved the Budget Strategy for 2023-24 and beyond the Council's budget for 202324 and MTFP 2023-24 to 2026-27 on 3 October 2022. Separate budgetary principles were established for workforce and non-workforce inflation. 9 Non-workforce inflation provision (general, office expenses, buildings and highways, construction and maintenance, contracts, utilities, fuel, insurance, taxation and NNDR), demand, demographic and legislative pressures to be based on the best intelligence available. There have been significant increases in inflation during 2022-23 so we will have to determine whether these increases are likely to be temporary or more permanent using the best intelligence available. 18 Discretionary fees and charges to be increased by inflation (CPI rate in September of the preceding year) on an annual basis unless Cabinet approval has been given for an alternative mechanism for increasing specific fees and charges. It would seem common sense to assume that each discrete discretionary service, provided by the Council would have its unique mix of workforce and non-workforce expenditure, and consequentially, its own unique inflation rate. It seems inconsistent therefore to assume that the single domestic cost of living CPI rate (excluding lending cost inflation) would be a suitable measure for full cost recovery fees and charges for disparate discretionary service charges. These may, also be subject to legal restriction on the amounts that may be recoverable from charges. Question: 1. What is the total estimated 2023-2024 Budgeted gross expenditure cost to be incurred in providing discretionary services? (This may include those services where Cabinet has approved alternative mechanisms). Arising from the above: Question: 2. What is the total estimated 2023-2024 Budgeted full cost recoverable Income to be generated from fees and charges for the use of discretionary services? (This may also include those services where Cabinet has approved alternative mechanisms). In response to question one, Councillor Cormack stated that the Council did not separately report on discretionary services, as some services included both discretionary and statutory elements, and was therefore not possible to provide the information in the requested format. Councillor Cormack stated he would be happy to meet with Mr. Hudson to better understand his needs and see what information may be available. In response to question two, Councillor Cormack stated that the discretionary fees and charges income budgets for 2023-24 were shown at Appendix I to the County Council Budget for 2023-24. As outlined in the previous answer, he stated that the Council did not separately report on discretionary services and it was therefore not possible to provide the information in the requested format. Councillor Cormack stated that different services would use different income mechanisms as appropriate. For example, Leisure services may increase their membership fees by CPI annually, but would also consider what the market could bear, which may be considered more or less than CPI. He stated that an element of Leisure Centre provision was statutory, such as school swimming, and so full cost recovery would not be an appropriate measure to use for Leisure services.

RESOLVED That the Notice of Motion not be adopted.
Council considered a report by the Head of Democratic Services which outlineda recommendation from the Governance and Audit Committee in respect of a Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor Mark Carter in the following terms: I request that an appropriate committee conducts a thorough examination into the correctness and legality of the practice by Pembrokeshire County Council of collecting 100% surcharge premiums on behalf of Dyfed Powys Police precept applied to the bills of Second and Empty homes. In the year 2022 /2023 this amounted to an extra £1.268 m being handed to DPP. I would also request that the committee investigates how Dyfed Powys Police spends this extra money, how this sum of money mitigates the effects of Second and Empty homes in this county and benefits its residents. Councillor Mark Carter, the originator of the Notice of Motion, stated that since the Governance and Audit Committee meeting on 31 January 2023, further meetings with Officers had taken place with further clarifications made in respect of the collection of Dyfed Powys Police and Town and Community Council precept amounts.He stated that the Welsh Government had recently requested that information regarding Second Homes Premium should be made publicly available and that Council Officers would also ensure that Members were fully aware how monies collected as the Second Homes Premium were used. Councillor Carter stated that he was happy to support the findings of the Governance and Audit Committee. Councillor Mark Carter Moved the Recommendation; Seconded by Councillor Jacob Williams. The vote, undertaken by way of an electronic vote, was carried. The votes were recorded as follows: For the Motion: Councillors Jamie Adams, Steve Alderman, Michelle Bateman, Joshua Beynon, Maureen Bowen, David Bryan, Alistair Cameron, Aaron Carey, Mark Carter, Di Clements, John Cole, Alec Cormack, Pat Davies, Terry Davies, Alan Dennison, Andrew Edwards, Tim Evans, Jonathan Grimes, Nicola Gwynn, Brian Hall, Simon Hancock, Delme Harries, Jon Harvey, Tessa Hodgson, David Howlett, Mike James, Michael John, Rhys Jordan, Phil Kidney, Paul Miller, Peter Morgan, Huw Murphy, Mel Phillips, Bethan Price, Neil Prior, Shon Rees, Jordan Ryan, David Simpson, Rhys Sinnett, Sam Skyrme-Blackhall, Mike Stoddart, Viv Stoddart, Aled Thomas, Vanessa Thomas, Marc Tierney, Anji Tinley, Thomas Tudor, Iwan Ward, Michele Wiggins, Tony Wilcox, Michael Williams, Chris Williams, Jacob Williams, Guy Woodham, Simon Wright, Steve Yelland and Danny Young [57] Against the Motion: Councillor Reg Owens [1] There were no abstentions.

RESOLVED That the Public Services Board’s (PSB’s) Well-being Plan be approved.
Council considered a report by the Assistant Chief Executive which outlined the Public Services Board (PSB) Well-being Plan for 2023 – 2028. Councillor Neil Prior, Cabinet Member with responsibility for Corporate Improvement and Communities, introduced the report and stated that the PSB was a statutory partnership required under the Well-being of Future Generations Act, with a duty to improve well-being. Councillor Prior highlighted that the four statutory partners of the PSB were Pembrokeshire County Council, Natural Resources Wales, Hywel Dda University Health Board and Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service. He also stated that the Plan was built on an extensive programme of research, evidence gathering and engagement, including the publication of a comprehensive Well-being Assessment in May 2022. He also made reference to the fact that the PSB did not have a budget, but instead relied on the goodwill and co-operation of all PSB partners. Councillor Prior then highlighted that the framework for the Plan had four broad objectives, as follows: • Work with communities to reduce inequalities and improve well-being; • Promote and support initiatives to deliver decarbonisation, manage climate adaptation and tackle the nature emergency; • Enable safe, connected, resourceful and diverse communities; • Support growth, jobs and prosperity and enable the transition to a more sustainable and greener economy. He stated that the next steps were about delivery and achieving the outcomes which make a difference for people and communities in Pembrokeshire. He also highlighted that the PSB would be held to account by the Council’s Partnership Panel. Councillor Neil Prior Moved the Recommendation; Seconded by Councillor David Simpson. Councillor Alistair Cameron sought clarification in regards to the membership of the PSB. In response, Councillor Prior stated that the membership was constantly reviewed and that the Private Sector would be supported by the PSB where possible, and a Member from One Voice Wales would be appointed to represent Town and Community Councils. Councillor Michael John, as Chair of the Partnerships Panel, outlined the feedback from the recent Panel meeting and stated the collective support for the Well-Being Plan. Councillor Jamie Adams sought assurance in regards to healthcare access for local residents and highlighted its urgency. In response, Councillor Prior stated that regular engagement with Hywel Dda Health Board, along with pressure from Members representing their communities, would be an effective way to ensure results. Councillor Tessa Hodgson agreed with Councillor Adams and highlighted the increasing demand and lack of supply. She stated that she was a Member of the Regional Partnership Board, which was another shared forum with the Hywel Dda Health Board and Third Sector, and suggested that it would be another opportunity to raise issues and concerns. Councillor Alan Dennison sought clarification in regards to which short term funding would be utilised to respond to the cost of living crisis. In response, the Interim Director of Social Care and Housing stated that the Council had utilised funds provided by the Welsh Governmentand a discretionary Cost of Living Scheme, which amounted to around £1million. He stated that during the last few months of the winter, the Council had developed two phases of an action plan to deploy that money across a number of different initiatives, in order to support people most in need in Pembrokeshire. The vote, undertaken by way of an electronic vote, was carried. The votes were recorded as follows: For the Motion: Councillors Jamie Adams, Steve Alderman, Michelle Bateman, Joshua Beynon, Maureen Bowen, David Bryan, Alistair Cameron, Aaron Carey, Mark Carter, Di Clements, John Cole, Alec Cormack, John Davies, Pat Davies, Terry Davies, Alan Dennison, Andrew Edwards, Tim Evans, Jonathan Grimes, Nicola Gwynn, Brian Hall, Simon Hancock, Delme Harries, Jon Harvey, Tessa Hodgson, David Howlett, Mike James, Michael John, Rhys Jordan, Phil Kidney, Paul Miller, Peter Morgan, Huw Murphy, Reg Owens, Mel Phillips, Bethan Price, Neil Prior, Shon Rees, Jordan Ryan, David Simpson, Rhys Sinnett, Sam Skyrme-Blackhall, Mike Stoddart, Viv Stoddart, Aled Thomas, Vanessa Thomas, Marc Tierney, Anji Tinley, Thomas Tudor, Iwan Ward, Michele Wiggins, Tony Wilcox, Michael Williams, Chris Williams, Jacob Williams, Guy Woodham, Simon Wright, Steve Yelland and Danny Young [59] There were no votes against or abstentions.

RESOLVED (a) That the Council Tax Premiums for Second Homes and Long Term Empty Properties be retained for 2023-24 at their existing levels. (b) That the income generated from the Council Tax Premium for Second Homes be allocated for 2023-24 with Council minded to continue this use to 2027-28 as follows: (i) 75% to fund elements of the Council’s budget relating to affordable housing and enhancing the sustainability of local communities (ii) 75% (of the remaining 25%) for the Affordable Housing programme (iii) 25% (of the remaining 25%) for the Enhancing Pembrokeshire Grant scheme. The Council Tax Premium for Second Homes be utilised until 2027-28 to provide funding for the Affordable Housing programme, the Enhancing Pembrokeshire Grant, and elements of the Council’s budget relating to affordable housing and enhancing the sustainability of local communities, in accordance with section 14.2. (c) That Council Tax ‘Band D’ increase for Pembrokeshire County Council for the 2023-24 financial year, inclusive of the increased MIM contribution, be approved at 7.50% (£93.69 per annum/£1.80 per week). (d) That the County Council Budget for 2023-24, including movement in earmarked reserves and the General Fund working balance, be approved. (e) That the indicative Capital Programme for 2023-24 to 2026-27 and the Capital Strategy 2023-34 to 2026-27 be approved. (f) That the prudential indicators for capital and revenue estimates for 2023-24 to 2026-27 be approved. (g) That the Medium Term Financial Plan 2023-24 to 2026-27 be approved. (h) That the revised Strategy for Holding and Utilising Reserves be approved. (i) That the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) estimates for 2023-24 be approved.
Council considered a report by Cabinet which outlined the County Council Budget for 2023-2024 and the Medium Term Financial Plan (MTFP) for 2023-2024 to 2026-2027. Councillor Alec Cormack, Cabinet Member with responsibility for Corporate Finance, introduced the report and outlined the strategic considerations behind the budget and MTFP, as well as highlighting the large and increasing cost of the Education and Social Care budgets. He stated that the increased Council budget could only be funded by the Welsh Government and Council Tax and that there was a long term trend for the Welsh Government to increase slower than the Council’s budget spending. He highlighted that in 2013-14, Council Tax funded only 18% of the Council’s net revenue budget, whereas in 2022-23, Council Tax was said to be funding 26%. Councillor Cormack stated that Council Tax would almost certainly have to fund an even larger proportion of the Council’s budget in the future. Councillor Cormack stated that the proposal was for a 7.5% Council Tax increase to bridge the £51.7m funding gap, over a four year period. He stated that Cabinet proposed that for each of the budgets in the current Council term (2023-24 to 2027-28), 75% of the Second Homes Council Tax Premium be utilised to fund elements of the Council’s budget relating to affordable housing, and to enhance the sustainability of local communities. He stated that this plan enabled the five year Affordable Housing Plan to be implemented in full and that there would be a budget of £800,000 a year for the Enhancing Pembrokeshire scheme.He also highlighted that a consultation would be undertaken during 2023-24 on changing the level of Second Home Council Tax Premium from 2024-25, as legislation now allowed up to 300%. He stated that this may enable additional Second Home Council Tax funding to be directed towards Affordable Housing in the future. Councillor Cormack then outlined a minor update to the report as follows: The final settlement from Welsh Government which was received on Tuesday 28/02/22 increased the AEF shown in the budget report by £5,000 to £212.675m, so the vacancy management line will need to decrease by £5,000 to £0.995m to keep the budget in balance. Councillor Alec Cormack Moved Recommendations A and B; Seconded by Councillor David Simpson. Councillor Jamie Adams stated his support for Recommendations A and B and that he wished for the Empty Properties Tax to also be reviewed during the consultation for the Second Homes Council Tax. Councillor Cormack confirmed that the Empty Properties Tax Premium would be included in the consultation. The Presiding Member then announced that Recommendations A and B would be voted on separately. The vote for Recommendation A, undertaken by way of an electronic vote, was carried. The votes were recorded as follows: For the Motion: Councillors Jamie Adams, Steve Alderman, Michelle Bateman, Joshua Beynon, Maureen Bowen, David Bryan, Alistair Cameron, Aaron Carey, Mark Carter, John Cole, Alec Cormack, John Davies, Pat Davies, Alan Dennison, Andrew Edwards, Tim Evans, Jonathan Grimes, Nicola Gwynn, Brian Hall, Simon Hancock, Jon Harvey, Tessa Hodgson, David Howlett, Mike James, Michael John, Rhys Jordan, Phil Kidney, Paul Miller, Peter Morgan, Elwyn Morse, Huw Murphy, Reg Owens, Bethan Price, Shon Rees, Jordan Ryan, David Simpson, Rhys Sinnett, Mike Stoddart, Viv Stoddart, Aled Thomas, Vanessa Thomas, Marc Tierney, Anji Tinley, Thomas Tudor, Iwan Ward, Michele Wiggins, Tony Wilcox, Jacob Williams, Guy Woodham, Simon Wright, Steve Yelland and Danny Young [52] Against the Motion: Councillor Michael Williams [1] There were no abstentions. Councillor Michael John sought clarification on Recommendation B and whether it would be voted on annually as opposed to being utilised until 2027-28. In response, Councillor Cormack stated that the Recommendation outlined a commitment to use the Second Home Council Tax Premium for remaining budgets of the current Council term. He confirmed, however, that there would be an annual vote on the matter. Councillor Jacob Williams stated that the Recommendation implied that Council was making the decision for many terms to come. Councillor Jacob Williams proposed an Amendment to Recommendation B to the effect that ‘the income generated from the Council Tax Premium for Second Homes be allocated for 2023-24 with Council minded to continue this use to 2027-28…’; Seconded by Councillor Michael John. Councillor Aled Thomas sought clarification as to whether Cabinet could overturn the decision of full Council regarding Second Home Council Tax, since it was a Cabinet function. In response, the Head of Law and Governance stated that as a decision that would be built into budget, Cabinet would be unable to go against the decision of Council. Councillor Mike Stoddart raised a concern regarding the effect the proposal would have on the provision of Affordable Housing, as well as the way funding would be utilised. He stated that he was not in support of Recommendation B. Councillor Cormack then clarified that the proposal outlined the use of a different mechanism for an already established principle. The vote for the Amendment to Recommendation B, undertaken by way of an electronic vote, was carried. The votes were recorded as follows: For the Motion: Councillors Jamie Adams, Steve Alderman, Michelle Bateman, Joshua Beynon, Maureen Bowen, David Bryan, Aaron Carey, Mark Carter, Di Clements, John Cole, Alec Cormack, John Davies, Pat Davies, Terry Davies, Alan Dennison, Andrew Edwards, Tim Evans, Jonathan Grimes, Nicola Gwynn, Brian Hall, Delme Harries, Simon Hancock, Jon Harvey, Tessa Hodgson, David Howlett, Mike James, Michael John, Rhys Jordan, Phil Kidney, Paul Miller, Peter Morgan, Elwyn Morse, Huw Murphy, Reg Owens, Mel Phillips, Bethan Price, Neil Prior, Jordan Ryan, David Simpson, Rhys Sinnett, Viv Stoddart, Aled Thomas, Vanessa Thomas, Marc Tierney, Anji Tinley, Iwan Ward, Michele Wiggins, Tony Wilcox, Michael Williams, Jacob Williams, Guy Woodham, Simon Wright, Steve Yelland and Danny Young [54] Against the Motion: Councillors Alistair Cameron, Sam Skyrme-Blackhall, Mike Stoddart, Thomas Tudor and Chris Williams [5] There were no abstentions. The vote for the Substantive Motion for Recommendation B, undertaken by way of an electronic vote, was carried. The votes were recorded as follows: For the Motion: Councillors Jamie Adams, Steve Alderman, Michelle Bateman, Joshua Beynon, Maureen Bowen, Alistair Cameron, Aaron Carey, Mark Carter, Di Clements, John Cole, Alec Cormack, John Davies, Terry Davies, Alan Dennison, Andrew Edwards, Tim Evans, Jonathan Grimes, Nicola Gwynn, Brian Hall, Simon Hancock, Delme Harries, Jon Harvey, Tessa Hodgson, David Howlett, Mike James, Michael John, Rhys Jordan, Paul Miller, Peter Morgan, Elwyn Morse, Huw Murphy, Mel Phillips, Neil Prior, Shon Rees, David Simpson, Rhys Sinnett, Aled Thomas, Vanessa Thomas, Marc Tierney, Anji Tinley, Thomas Tudor, Iwan Ward, Michele Wiggins, Tony Wilcox, Michael Williams, Jacob Williams, Guy Woodham, Simon Wright, Steve Yelland and Danny Young [50] Against the Motion: Councillor Mike Stoddart [1] There were no abstentions. Councillor Alec Cormack Moved Recommendation C; Seconded by Councillor David Simpson. Councillor Adams highlighted the effects of inflation on residents and local businesses and wished to give residents assurance that the Council acknowledged the current situation. He also raised concerns regarding Council Tax collection rates and the cost of Capital Projects and the effect they had on the budget. Councillor Adams therefore proposed an Amendment to Recommendation C to the effect that the Council sets a Council Tax rise of 5.5%; Seconded by Councillor Brian Hall. Councillor Alistair Cameron gave his thanks to Officers and Councillor Cormack for their hard work on the budget. He stated he was in favour of the 7.5% rise and highlighted that the challenges the Council faced would not be resolved with a lower tax increase. He also made reference to the increasing costs for both Social Care services and Education. Councillors Reg Owens and Alan Dennison stated their support for the Amendment. Councillor Michael John also supported the Amendment and raised concerns around the Revenue Budget. He suggested that Capital Projects needed to be reviewed in order to decide which ones should be cut back to enable the Revenue Budget to have as much money as possible to provide services for residents. In regards to Council Tax collection rates, Councillor Cormack stated that due to the Covid-19 pandemic, formal recovery action was suspended for a period of time. He stated that now recovery action had recommenced and collection rates were starting to improve, the Council was looking to enter into dialogue with people who may be in difficult financial situations and to work with them to resolve any debt.Councillor Cormack stated that the long term position of the Council was being focused on and highlighted that one-off Reserves should not be utilised to address an ongoing need. He stated that this would result in additional budget pressures in 2024-25 and would require a higher increase to return the Council to the current position. Councillor Cormack then urged Members to consider the long term position of the Council. Councillor Pat Davies supported the 7.5% increase and stated that Pembrokeshire continued to have the lowest Council Tax in Wales, but highlighted the need for it to be increased, in order to provide necessary services for residents. Councillor Tim Evans sought clarification in regards to the yearly figure as a result of a 7.5% increase. In response, Councillor Cormack stated that it would be £19.43 per year for a Band D property. Councillors Tony Wilcox and Joshua Beynon also supported a 7.5% increase. Councillor Beynon highlighted the need to consider future generations and the effect a potential lack of quality services could have on residents. Councillor Huw Murphy highlighted the low wages of public sector workers and suggested that more money should not be asked of them. Councillors Jordan Ryan and John Cole also supported a 7.5% increase. Councillor Aled Thomas stated that he believed that current inflation levels would decrease and supported the 5.5% increase. Councillor Paul Miller stated his support for the 7.5% increase and highlighted that Reserves had been utilised for things such as the Covid-19 pandemic and more recently, Operation Nightingale. He highlighted that the delivery of current Capital Projects were being proactively managed to be completed as best as possible within budget, and upcoming projects were now subject to review. Councillor David Bryan sought clarification as to whether the new multi-storey car park in Haverfordwest would be one of the projects subject to a review. In response, Councillor Miller stated that that project was currently out to tender and the Council was awaiting a Grant Award from Welsh Government. He stated that there would be a further opportunity for Cabinet, Council and other Committees to review the project before it started. Councillor Aled Thomas sought clarification as to whether the allocated budgets could be spent in an alternative way, if Heads of Service or Directors saw fit to do so, as the spending of the money was not a political function. In response, Councillor Cormack stated that Councillors had several opportunities to consider and make comments on the outlined budget and highlighted that it was the intention to implement the changes as outlined in the report. The Chief Executive confirmed this and stated that there was no intention to do anything other than what was outlined in the report. He stated thatif it was something that deviated significantly from the outlined measures, it would be taken to Cabinet and potentially Council, depending on the nature of the alteration. Councillor David Simpson thanked all Members for their contribution over the last nine months and referred to the increased pressures the Council was due to face over the next year. He also thanked Councillor Cormack for his efforts and urged Members to support the 7.5% increase in order to aid Council services.

Progress in implementing the actions would be collated and reported to the Governance and Audit Committee at their scheduled meetings. Councillor David Simpson Moved the Recommendation; Seconded by Councillor Jon Harvey. Councillor Aled Thomas sought clarification as to whether the Programme for Administration could be reviewed by Council at an earlier date for future years. In response, Councillor Simpson stated that if there was an opportunity to speed up the process then he would endeavour to do so. The vote, undertaken by way of an electronic vote, was carried.

RESOLVED That the Pay Policy statement for 2023-24 be approved for publication.
[Councillor Shon Rees left the meeting at this juncture] Council considered a report by the Chief Human Resources Officer which outlined the Pay Policy Statement for 2023-2024. Councillor Neil Prior, Cabinet Member with responsibility for Corporate Improvement and Communities, introduced the report and stated that since January 2023, the National Employers had made an offer to staff side for April 2023 of an increase of at least £1,925 from 1 April 2023. He stated that this offer equated to an increase 9.42% for 2023 for the lowest paid and an offer of 3.88% had been made for all those on all pay point above the top of the pay spine. Councillor Prior highlighted that if accepted, the Council’s lowest paid would see a rise in salary levels of 22% since April 2021. Councillor Neil Prior Moved the Recommendation; Seconded by Councillor Jon Harvey. Councillor Alan Dennison sought clarification in regards to whether there would be a circumstance in which the lowest paid individual would overtake an individual on a higher rate.

RESOLVED (a) That the progress being made on the Corporate Governance Improvement Plan at Appendix A be noted. (b) That a revised Plan be received in May 2023.
Council considered a report by the Assistant Chief Executive which outlined an update on the Corporate Governance Improvement Plan for 2022-2024. Councillor Neil Prior, Cabinet Member with responsibility for Corporate Improvement and Communities, introduced the report and stated that it had been a year since the Council considered the Audit Wales Public Interest report. He stated that updates on the Action Plan provided an honest assessment of where the Council was in regards to process. He then gave his thanks to the Governance and Audit Committee for reviewing the progress and to the Constitutional Review Working Group for their work on the Constitution. Councillor Prior stated that many of the actions had been completed and a revised plan was currently being developed for Council’s consideration in May 2023. He highlighted that a review of progress made against the Audit Wales recommendation by Audit Wales would be undertaken in May 2023 and Council would be provided with their feedback in due course. Councillor Neil Prior Moved the Recommendation; Seconded by Councillor David Simpson. The vote, undertaken by way of a show of hands, was carried. RESOLVED (a) That the progress being made on the Corporate Governance Improvement Plan at Appendix A be noted. (b) That a revised Plan be received in May 2023.

RESOLVED That the draft Multi-Location Meeting Policy be approved for adoption.
Council considered a report by the Head of Democratic Services which outlined a policy regarding multi-location meetings, known as remote and hybrid meetings. Councillor Di Clements, Chair of Democratic Services Committee, introduced the report and stated that the Multi-Location Meetings Policy consolidated the previous protocols issued to Members into a single document and reflected the interim Guidance.She stated that the Democratic Services Committee considered the Policy on 2 February 2023 and discussed whether there should be a minimum threshold of in-person attendees for hybrid meetings otherwise to default to fully remote meetings, but decided to continue with the current arrangement for the time being, where the matter would be at the discretion of the Chair; and to review the matter again. Councillor Di Clements Moved the Recommendation; Seconded by Councillor Alan Dennison. Councillor Huw Murphy sought clarification in regards to the policy around moving a Hybrid meeting to a fully virtual meeting and referenced a recent Cabinet meeting. In response, the Chief Executive stated that at that particular meeting, technical issues arose and therefore the meeting had to be held virtually. The Head of Democratic Services explained further that a Hybrid meeting referred to a mixture of in-person and virtual attendees or a fully virtual meeting. Councillor Michael John stated his support for the Recommendation. The vote, undertaken by way of an electronic vote, was carried. The votes were recorded as follows: For the Motion: Councillors Jamie Adams, Steve Alderman, Michelle Bateman, Joshua Beynon, Maureen Bowen, David Bryan, Alistair Cameron, Mark Carter, Di Clements, John Cole, Alec Cormack, Pat Davies, Terry Davies, Andrew Edwards, Tim Evans, Nicola Gwynn, Brian Hall, Delme Harries, Jon Harvey, Tessa Hodgson, David Howlett, Mike James, Michael John, Rhys Jordan, Phil Kidney, Paul Miller, Peter Morgan, Huw Murphy, Reg Owens, Mel Phillips, Bethan Price, Neil Prior, Shon Rees, Jordan Ryan, David Simpson, Rhys Sinnett, Sam Skyrme-Blackhall, Viv Stoddart, Vanessa Thomas, Marc Tierney, Anji Tinley, Thomas Tudor, Michele Wiggins, Tony Wilcox, Chris Williams, Guy Woodham, Simon Wright, Steve Yelland and Danny Young [49] There were no votes against or abstentions. RESOLVED That the draft Multi-Location Meeting Policy be approved for adoption.
[Councillor Anji Tinley left the meeting and Councillor Aaron Carey re-joined the meeting at this juncture]. Council considered whether to exclude the Public from the meeting. Councillor Paul Miller Moved that the Public be excluded from the meeting; Seconded by Councillor Jon Harvey. The vote, undertaken by way of a show of hands, was carried. RESOLVED That the public be excluded from the meeting for the following item of business in accordance with Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972 as it involves the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraph 12 Part 4 of Schedule 12A to the Act; and that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information. [The webcast of the meeting was paused at this juncture.]
Councillor Rhys Sinnett, the relevant Cabinet Member, responded to questions submitted by Councillor Aaron Carey prior to the meeting in accordance with the provisions of Council Procedure Rule 4.10 as follows: Could the leader or responsible cabinet member please answer the following questions: Since the introduction of the kerb side collection policy introduced over 3 years ago, the majority of Pembrokeshire residents have done their part to fulfil their end of the deal. Since the merger of Monkton with Pembroke St Mary South I have had several residents asking why a large proportion of properties in Monkton are still on the old system (orange bags and unlimited number of black/grey bags collected) As far as I am aware, both the Monkton courts and Mount estate are not required to put the same effort into their recycling as the rest of the County (with the exception of some communal flats in other areas). My questions are as follows; • Does the leader/cabinet member agree that this is unfair on the majority of residents of Pembrokeshire who do recycle? • Why is this still the case after 3 years? • When will these estates and other areas be migrated to the kerbside system? In response to Question 2 in the first instance, Councillor Sinnett stated thatin November 2019, the Waste Service Change was implemented and saw Kerbside Sort Collection Services implemented to 94% of households in Pembrokeshire, which would be termed as Phase1 of the rollout. A small proportion of properties without standard kerbside collection locations, including flats and some complex housing estates remained on the Orange Bag System. This was due to the fact these locations required additional implementation resources and bespoke solutions for these non-standard properties and would be moved across to kerbside sort as part of Phase 2 of the changes. For this interim period these Phase 2 properties remained on the orange bag service for plastics, paper, cardboard and tins, along with the standard glass box and food waste caddy. This meant they were able to recycle all the same materials as those on kerbside sort but just on a limited separation basis, however higher contamination rates were experienced with the Orange Bag System. These households also received a restricted collection surrounding their residual waste, with each property issued with 52 grey bags per annum, the same as those on kerbside sort collections. The only difference was the collection frequency, which was two bags per fortnight, as that waste was co-collected with the glass recycling which also remained on a fortnightly collection pattern due to vehicle configurations. Initial work surrounding migrating these properties to Phase 2 was delayed as a consequence of the COVID-19 Pandemic and subsequent resource implications. However since 2021, work had been undertaken across a number of these locations, supported by Waste and Recycling Action Programme (WRAP), and kerbside sort collection practices had been implemented for an additional 1,300 properties, increasing the kerbside sort implementation rate to 96% of Pembrokeshire households at this time. During this time, new legislation had been proposed by Welsh Government surrounding Business Recycling Regulations. These collection changes would also impact domestic properties which required a bin based collection, such as larger flat complexes with communal waste and recycling collection points, and thus whilst awaiting this legislation, further delays to some of the Phase 2 rollout properties had been experienced. The changes to this legislation had recently been consulted on by Welsh Government and the results of this would shape the future segregation of recycling for Trade Waste and Communal Domestic Collections. In response to Question 3, Councillor Sinnett stated that work continued to be undertaken in this area to continue to roll out to the remaining Phase 2 properties, introducing source segregated recycling to the remaining domestic properties in Pembrokeshire, either through the implementation of the kerbside sort scheme or through the segregated bin solution linked with our Trade Waste Service. It was anticipated to take between 12-24 months, dependent on vehicle manufacturer lead times. As many Members would know from their own wards, there had also been issues with regards to communal waste piles across the County, so work had also been ongoing to support the removal of these by requesting households to place waste outside of their own property. This has been supported by the Local Environment Advisors and a programme of behaviour change and compliance work to a number of the estates and flat complexes in Pembrokeshire, to encourage residents to recycle all they can. This had been through door knocking, the implementation of the compliance model and also through scheme’s such as “Keeping Up with the Joneses”, which had seen household participation with the recycling scheme increase from 55% to 69% and a significant reduction in communal piles and thus abuse of the residual waste service. In response to Question 1, Councillor Sinnett stated that he believed the system was as fair for all residents as possible at this time, taking into account the challenges some properties faced due to their complex natures, storage and access restrictions. There was no one size fits all approach that could be instantly rolled out for 100% of properties. He then wished to provide assurance to Members that work was continuing to roll the source segregated kerbside sort system out to all households as soon as possible, whilst ensuring households could continue to recycle all they could through the alternative system in the meantime. In response to a supplementary question regarding rubbish bags in communal areas, Councillor Sinnett stated that using Waste Advisors and Complaints Models would increase recycling rates and decrease levels of abuse. He stated he would continue to report to the Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee on a regular basis on environmental issues.
Councillor Paul Miller, the relevant Cabinet Member, responded to a question submitted by Councillor Andrew Edwards prior to the meeting in accordance with the provisions of Council Procedure Rule 4.10 as follows: As the eagerly anticipated Ocky White building draws to a conclusion, can the relevant cabinet member give council a breakdown of costs so far. In response, Councillor Miller stated that the spend to date in total was £5.829 million. In terms of breakdown costs, there was an initial contract with Lloyd and Gravel for in the region of £350,000, the Council’s spend to date with the principal contractor John Weavers was £3.8 million, professional fees, services and the Council’s direct costs stood at £1.3 million and the building purchase originally was £288,000. In response to a supplementary question regarding project overspend due to the archaeological work being undertaken, Councillor Miller confirmed that due to this ongoing work, the total approved budget currently stood at £12.34 million, which was in excess of where the project was expected to cost at this point. He stated, however, that he was confident the project would make a significant and positive contribution once completed towards the end of the year.
Councillor Michelle Bateman, the relevant Cabinet Member, responded to a question submitted by Councillor Alistair Cameron prior to the meeting in accordance with the provisions of Council Procedure Rule 4.10 as follows: Could the relevant Cabinet Member advise Council as to how long on average it is taking to turn around empty council homes before they can be re-let during the current financial year? In response, Councillor Bateman stated that the numbers of Council Housing recorded as voids was split into those requiring minor and major works. The data on average number of calendar days taken to let lettable units of permanent accommodation, was reported corporately through the quarterly corporate performance scorecard. As at quarter 3, there was an average void time of 60 days for voids let in that period for minor works. This was seeing a gradual increase (in days) for a number of reasons, which would be answered under question 24. There were also longer term ‘major’ void properties which were excluded from these reported figures, which required more extensive capital works as part of major refurbishment, retrofit works, extensions and tenants awaiting decants. A full report on both minor and major voids would be reported to the Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee at the June meeting, as part of the Annual Building Maintenance report.
Councillor Michelle Bateman, the relevant Cabinet Member, responded to a question submitted by Councillor Alistair Cameron prior to the meeting in accordance with the provisions of Council Procedure Rule 4.10 as follows: Could the relevant Cabinet Member advise Council as to what action the Authority is taking to speed up the re-letting of empty homes? In response, Councillor Bateman stated that she recognised that the longer Council Houses remained empty, it equated to one less household being accommodated there, as well as lost income to the Housing Revenue Account (HRA). The reason why the number of days void figures was increasing was due to: - Additional works being undertaken to take advantage of properties being untenanted; - Contractor availability leading to delays in completing works; - Building maintenance staffing pressures. The team dealing with major void programme was small and dealt with Capital Programmes for Housing as well as Corporate Assets such as Schools and Leisure Centres; - There had been the loss of experienced surveyors from the service, and there was difficulty in re-recruiting, which had occurred at a time where there had been an increase in workloads due to emergency and urgent works. The service was prioritising the need to recruit additional staff into this part of the service, which would entail a potential budget requirement across both the HRA and corporately. Further detail could be provided in the Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee report in June. Councillor Bateman also added she would work on communicating some of these issues publicly. She also highlighted that the previous Head of Building Maintenance had retired and that post had been filled. Looking at that service, the required structure and to prioritise the voids turnover, would be a priority for that new post holder. In response to a supplementary question regarding a review of remuneration of Officers in this area, Councillor Bateman stated that the pay scales were quite complex and had to be looked at across the whole of the Authority. She suggested that job descriptions could be reviewed in order to assist with attracting staff. She highlighted that it was an issue across the Authority, particularly within Building Maintenance, and agreed that it needed to be reviewed.
Councillor Rhys Sinnett, the relevant Cabinet Member, responded to a question submitted by Councillor Alan Dennison prior to the meeting in accordance with the provisions of Council Procedure Rule 4.10 as follows: Can the cabinet member advise why it is PCC policy that when private housing estates are completed to the relevant standard, that the whole estate including walkways and walls are not adopted? In response, Councillor Sinnett stated that the Council had no blanket policy not to adopt walkways or walls when private housing estates were completed to the relevant standard. To enable adoption of a road, the developer needed to enter a Section 38 Agreement with the Local Highway Authority (LHA) for future adoption of the road on completion. This was a voluntary process on the part of the developer. As part of the agreement, the developer would identify the areas for future adoption and Pembrokeshire County Council would adopt all roads and walkways that had been constructed to a suitable standard identified within the agreement. Boundary walls abutting highways and roads form part of the adjoining properties, were normally privately owned and therefore were not included within the adoption agreement. The Local Highways Authority could only adopt and maintain land and structures that were necessary for the efficient and safe operation of the highway, for the benefit of the general public to pass and repass. Structures that were not necessary for the operation of the highway could not be adopted, for example, public monies could not be used to maintain land and structures that did not form part of, or support the highway. In response to a supplementary question regarding a safety concern of a specific highway, Councillor Sinnett stated that he was aware of the situation and highlighted that there would be further discussions regarding any issues before the next Cabinet meeting.
Councillor David Simpson, the Leader and relevant Cabinet Member, responded to a question submitted by Councillor Alan Dennison prior to the meeting in accordance with the provisions of Council Procedure Rule 4.10 as follows: Given that Bluestone was the PCC recommended facility for the field hospital during the pandemic, does the cabinet member now consider this was the right choice given the overall costs of over £10M to the Hywel Dda health board and the loss of income (and centre refurbishment) to the council by not utilising Pembrokeshire leisure centres as Carmarthenshire county council did? In response, the Leader stated that the Council offered to explore a range of sites with Hywel Dda University Health Board (HDUHB) including Schools and Leisure Centres. The decision to proceed with Bluestone was made by HDUHB, and was not based on a recommendation by the Council. The Leader then outlined the following: • 20/03/2020 - Introductory emails exchanged with HDUHB project lead and the Council’s project team. Council email stated: “preference to use one or two schools in Haverfordwest and Pembroke.” Pros and cons options appraisal of each site and leisure centres emailed to HDUHB. Director of Education also stated which of these schools would be their preferred site, this was also shared with HDUHB. • 20/03/2020 - floor plans of all Council leisure centres forwarded to HDUHB project lead. • 20/03/2020 - HDUHB field hospital plan reflects offer of Council facilities and Bluestone option. • 21/03/2020 - Bluestone floor plans shared by Bluestone Manager with HDUHB project lead. • 27/03/2020 - HDUHB and Bluestone exchange draft legal agreements. • 02/04/2020 - Email from Director of Social Services to HDUHB project lead confirming that the legal agreement was a matter for HDUHB and not one the Council would be involved in, and that a separate agreement would be required for the capital build programme. Throughout the project, there was a daily project meeting chaired by the HDUHB project lead, at no point did the Council recommend Bluestone to HDUHB. The decision to choose the site was made by Senior Managers in HDUHB, based on what they felt best matched the specification provided via Welsh Government and gave the most flexibility and resilience in facing the unprecedented and uncertain impacts of the global pandemic. The work done project managing the conversion from an activity centre to a field hospital by the Council’s Infrastructure team was exemplary, as was the commitment of the contracted provider and the Bluestone staff. This was the height of the pandemic and lockdown, and at one point there were approximately 100 staff working on this build, staying on site throughout including overnight, in order to remain in a large isolated bubble with no physical outside contact, and the majority of works were completed in a staggering three weeks. The Leader then took the opportunity to thank Andrew Nicholas and his team for their hard work, commitment and sheer determination to make sure this resource was ready, should the residents of Pembrokeshire had needed it. He stated that it was one of the most inspirational things he had been involved with and the Council should be very proud of them. In response to a supplementary question regarding cost per patient, Councillor Simpson suggested that enquires be sent to Hywel Dda Health Board as it was their choice to use Bluestone, the Council only facilitated the option.
Councillor Paul Miller, the relevant Cabinet Member, responded to a question submitted by Councillor Mark Carter prior to the meeting in accordance with the provisions of Council Procedure Rule 4.10 as follows: Pembrokeshire County Council owns a large portfolio of commercially let property, which should provide a substantial income when correctly managed. Could the relevant Cabinet member please reassure members that the maximum income is being obtained by clarifying the following points: • Are all rent reviews currently up to date or if not, how overdue are they? • Assuming most if not all properties are let on a full repairing lease, are all properties inspected on a regular basis to ensure compliance? • Is all the County Farm Estate fully let to ensure maximum income and maximum opportunity to our tenants on those farms? In response, Councillor Miller stated that Cabinet considered an updated Asset Management Strategy at its meeting in February, where he outlined that there had been some achievements. It was recognised that the Asset Management function of the Authority had not always, in recent years, performed at the level required. As a result, other Council service areas, Partner Organisations, Elected Members and the public, had at times been left, frustrated and poorly served. This strategy was part of Council efforts to ensure a more responsive, supportive Asset Management function that supported and facilitated the delivery of services and the improvement of communities. Councillor Miller then stated that in consultation with colleagues, since he took responsibility for property last year, the Council had been able to increase the level of resource allocated to that function. In addition, in approving the revised strategy in principle, he also asked Cabinet to refer the Strategy to the now reformed Strategic Asset Management Group, and only following their consideration and taking note of any of their recommendations, would he formally adopt the Strategy. He highlighted that that step in the process was designed to ensure that backbench Members had real input into the document and that all Members played a part in driving improvement in the service. In regards to whether all rent reviews were currently up-to-date or if not, how overdue were they, Councillor Miller stated that they were not all up to date. However, it was worth noting that in some cases the rent figure was small or low and the cost of reviewing the rent may actually be more than the additional rent generated. The Property Team was said to prioritise rent reviews based on the scope for the increases, and also advised that the new Property Case Management System, which was due to go live at the end of March, would make monitoring rent reviews an easier management task. He stated that it was impossible to give a succinct answer in regards to how overdue they were, given the significant variation from lease to lease. In regards to properties being inspected on a regular basis to ensure compliance, Councillor Miller stated that the Council had a mix of full repair and insuring leases and internal repair and insuring leases, where the tenant had a narrower liability for maintenance. Decoration repair and insurance inspection was a function of capacity and, in addition, code restrictions had until fairly recently, made some impact on inspections. He stated that the new case management system would assist going forward, allocating assets to Asset Managers, with the frequency of inspection of assets agreed and monitored. In regards to County Farm Estate, Councillor Miller stated that the County Farm Estate was managed in accordance with the Council's County Farm Policy, which was adopted and updated on 9 March 2020. The Policy and Pre-decision Overview and Scrutiny Committee reviewed the County Farm Task and Finish Group recommendations in terms of lettings and equipped holdings. There were currently no vacant units. Rock View at Wolfscastle was vacant, but was the subject of a proposal from Social Care to repurpose. With regards to bare land, the Council was currently advertising six acres of land in Pembroke and a further 40 acres at Sealyham would be advertised later this month. In response to a supplementary question regarding assurances for Members and the potential use of an outside contractor, Councillor Miller agreed that assets needed to be managed properly and stated that if the Council was to proactively manage assets, it would potentially require further investment in capacity, for example, by employing a Third Party. He highlighted that this a was a decision that could be discussed with the Strategic Asset Management Group regarding the balance between taking surpluses out of the assets, compared to managing and investing in them.
[Councillor Phil Kidney left the meeting at this juncture] Councillor Paul Miller, the relevant Cabinet Member, responded to a question submitted by Councillor Di Clements prior to the meeting in accordance with the provisions of Council Procedure Rule 4.10 as follows: Could the relevant cabinet member update me on whether there are any future proposals or plans for the Riverside shopping centre in Haverfordwest? And if so, what they might be? In response, Councillor Miller stated that the centre was purchased in February 2021 with the support of a Welsh Government grant, plus a Council contribution of around £700,000. It was purchased not as an income producing asset, but with a view to supporting the wider redevelopment and regeneration of Haverfordwest, and the Council had always anticipated working with the market to achieve that. He stated that various things had happened since the Council formerly purchased the shopping centre, and as a result, the Council was in a holding position where the it had been managing the centre, while it was considered how best to engage the market and move on to that next step of redevelopment. Whilst the Council had been managing the centre, in its first year of operation, a surplus was recorded of around £250,000, significantly exceeding the worst-case predicted scenario on which the decision to purchase was made of £60,000. The most recent projections for the coming financial year suggested a surplus of £140,000, but the Council could do better than that as there were a number of proposed lettings due to complete imminently and which should improve the position further. He stated that this holding pattern had not cost the Council anything and that the centre was actually fuller. Councillor Miller highlighted that the Council had recovered around £600,000 of the Council's £700,000 investment to date. In regards to next steps, Councillor Miller stated that the Council needed to ensure the right solution from the market and that it was being approached in the right way. He stated that some external lawyers had been engaged to discuss the best procedure for engaging with the market and a report was expected to be taken firstly to the Officer led Strategic Asset Management Group, in either quarter one or two of 2023. Councillor Miller stated that ownership had already seen some benefits in a non-financial manner by redeveloping the multi-storey and that had been enabled to a large degree by the Council’s land ownership of the shopping centre, otherwise it would have been complex in terms of rights of access, for example. He stated that it had also allowed the Council to progress the bridge in the centre, as part of the Heart of Pembrokeshire Scheme. In terms of how to engage with the market, Councillor Miller stated that another commitment to engage backbench Members would come to the Strategic Asset Management Group for discussion. He highlighted that he envisaged a joint venture partnership arrangement, as the intention was to engage with the market in the right way in order to gain Partners, for both finance and expertise, to support the Council with the next phase of the development of the sector. In response to a supplementary question regarding the future plans for the shopping centre and pausing the project until firm plans were in place, Councillor Miller stated that he would not give that commitment as he was committed to delivering the Multi-Storey Interchange in Haverfordwest. He highlighted that it would bring significant benefit to the County and if the project was paused, there would be no guarantee that there would be external funding available at a future date to complete the project.
[Councillor Di Clements left the meeting at this juncture] Councillor Jon Harvey, the relevant Cabinet Member, responded to a question submitted by Councillor Mike Stoddart prior to the meeting in accordance with the provisions of Council Procedure Rule 4.10 as follows: Can the Leader update members on the likely timeline for the development at the former Motorworld building in Charles Street Milford Haven? In response, Councillor Harvey stated that it was unfortunate and frustrating that the Council had to go out to tender for the third time on this important site within the town centre. This followed the first tender contractor going into administration in July 2021. The second tender exercise, which was carried out in 2022, resulted in only one tender being submitted, which was deemed to be non-compliant for a number of reasons.The fact that only one tender was received as a result of this exercise, was said to be symptomatic of a shortage of contractors who feel able to tender, given the current volatility in the construction industry. The Council had adopted a different procurement strategy for all development sites, with the preferred option being a two-stage appointment, and the two-stage approach involved a more collaborative and inclusive approach with earlier contractor involvement in the design process and aligned with current best practice. In respect of the Motorworld site, the latest tender pack had been uploaded on Sell2Wales, where the contractors on the applicable lot of the South West Wales Construction Framework would be notified and the closing date for the tender return was the end of March 2023. Following a tender evaluation, the Council hoped to award the tender for the Pre-construction Service Agreement by early June, with the successful contractor taking the development through the various RIBA stages 2–4, with a view to construction commencing on site in 2024. However, if this estimated commencement date could be brought forward, the team would endeavour to do so. Councillor Harvey then emphasised to Members that this development continued to be a priority within the Council’s development programme and he was more than happy to meet Milford Members on a regular basis to update on progress, if Members considered this to be a benefit. Finally, he advised all Members that a workshop on the Housing Development Programme was planned for April and this would provide a full update on progress on the overall Housing Development Programme. In response to a supplementary question regarding the Council’s contract delivery system, Councillor Harvey stated that there was difficulty in getting a contractor to get involved in this site given the tender process, but stated he was hopeful that as part of this two stage tender exercise, it would allow for better engagement with a successful contractor.
Councillor Paul Miller, the relevant Cabinet Member, responded to a question submitted by Councillor Aled Thomas prior to the meeting in accordance with the provisions of Council Procedure Rule 4.10 as follows: To ask the Cabinet Member for Climate Change specifically what role County Council owned farms and land blocks have in his administration's target to be carbon neutral by 2030? In response, Councillor Miller stated that Pembrokeshire County Council's target to become a Net Zero Carbon Local Authority by 2030, takes account of resultant greenhouse gas emissions from assets, be those buildings, street lights, fleet, business, mileage, for example, where the Council consumes energy for its own operations. With specific reference to County Council owned farms, these sites were tenanted and the Council did not report on the resultant emissions via energy consumed at these sites. The incumbent tenant consumed energy at these sites and was responsible for sourcing and paying for all energy consumed. Such sites did not form part of the Council's carbon emissions baseline and under Welsh Government Net Zero Carbon reporting rules, the Council did not report emissions from downstream tenanted or leased property. In response to a supplementary question regarding the Welsh Governments intention to enforce a 10% tree coverage quota across all farm land in Wales, Councillor Miller stated that he was not responsible for and did not set Welsh Government policy.
A Notice of Motion was submitted by Councillor Alan Dennison in the following terms: That council policy be amended to ensure all walkways and associated walls are adopted along with roadways and pathways and that extra funds provided for these estates by the developer are ring fenced for the maintenance of such walkways, walls and amenity areas to improve the health and wellbeing of its residents. Upon the terms of Council Procedure Rule 10.4, the Motion having been Moved by Councillor Alan Dennison; Seconded by Councillor Rhys Sinnett then stood referred to Cabinet.

Upon the terms of Council Procedure Rule 10.4, the Motion having been Moved by Councillor Alan Dennison; Seconded by Councillor John Cole then stood referred to Cabinet.
A Notice of Motion was submitted by Councillor Aled Thomas in the following terms: That the Cabinet/Council immediately reinstate the working group responsible for ratifying the County Farms letting policy (to include annual rents) and a full review begin taking place to ensure that the farms and land blocks meet the council's financial expectations and indeed lower carbon future ambitions. Upon the terms of Council Procedure Rule 10.4, the Motion having been Moved by Councillor Michelle Bateman; Seconded by Councillor Alan Dennison then stood referred to the Policy and Pre-Decision Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
