Minutes:

(A)2020/21 Budget Proposals; and

(B)Council Tax 2020/21

 

The 2020/21 Budget Proposals and the proposed Council Tax 2020/21 were:

 

Moved by Councillor Gardiner – Seconded by Councillor Franklin. 

 

The following Amendment, submitted in accordance with Standing Order No 8, was:

 

Moved by Councillor Kitching – Seconded by Councillor Fielding:

 

The Liberal Democrat Group recognises the hard work of the Finance Team in again bringing forward a balanced budget.  We recognise that this is a financially well managed Council and that prudent decisions have allowed the Council to remain in good financial shape despite ongoing challenges in funding right across local government.

 

Our amendments therefore do not seek to undermine the budget, but to bring focus to some key priority areas which we – and the communities we serve – believe require more investment going forward.

 

We seek to set up a parks and green spaces investment fund to improve our public parks, playgrounds and open green spaces; a community safety fund for each Area Council; and to properly fund efforts to tackle the climate emergency.

 

1             Area Council Community Safety Fund

 

(i)            Emerging investment priority R35 allocates an extra £10,000 to each Ward Alliance totalling £210,000.

(ii)          While we welcome this extra funding for communities, we would like to reallocate this spending specifically for local road safety initiatives which would be welcomed by residents across the borough

(iii)         We would invest the £210,000 into Area Council Safety funds as devolved Area Council Budget.  This would be ring-fenced for use by ward members in conjunction with Area Council Officers on local road safety priority initiatives

 

2             Parks and Green Spaces Investment Scheme

 

(i)            The Penny Pie Park scheme remains highly unpopular, ineffective, costly and unnecessary

(ii)          We would therefore cease all spending on the Penny Pie Park scheme immediately, saving approximately £1.6m from the capital budget

(iii)         This money will be used to create a Parks and Green Spaces Investment Scheme, improving play equipment and park spaces across the borough, with a goal of achieving more Green Flag Parks

 

3             Tackling climate change

 

(i)            The Liberal Democrat Group believes that investment of £780,000 on positive environmental impact/Zero Carbon objectives is insufficient

(ii)          We would cease Council spending on Trade Union Convenors, saving £237,000 of revenue budget

(iii)         This money will be spent on tackling the climate emergency, specifically on a more ambitious plan to increase tree cover across the borough

(iv)         Emerging investment priority R17 TREE 2020 allocates £345,000 of revenue budget to the Council’s tree planting programme for the coming year.  This proposal would add the £237,000 to this, giving £582,000

(v)          This increased investment would be underpinned by the development of a robust, ambitious, borough-wide tree planting strategy

 

Upon being put to the vote the Amendment was lost.

 

The original motion was then put as the Substantive Motion and:
