TO RECEIVE WRITTEN QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PDF 47 KB (Maximum of 30 minutes allowed)
The questions which have been received from members of the public to be put at the meeting are set out in agenda item 7 attached. Decision: 7.1 Question from Mr. Nigel Kirby re: Delivery arrangements at Roman Road East shops
The above question and an oral supplementary question were put and were responded to by the Mayor.
(Action by: John S. Williams, Service Head, Democratic Services)
Minutes: 7.1 Question from Mr. Nigel Kirby re: Delivery arrangements at Roman Road East shops
“Has the Council’s Town Centre Project Coordinator or the Roman Road East Regeneration Steering Group chaired by Cllr Joshua Peck looked into the delivery practicalities for the Roman Road East shops? We now have both Iceland and Poundland lorries turning in to Anglo Road and reversing half the length of Cardigan Road to make their deliveries. The Iceland lorries have been doing this for 18 months already. This is illegal and highly dangerous, noisy and disruptive, but despite residents raising the matter with both local Councillors and direct with the Head of Traffic and Transportation, we are still waiting for officers to come and investigate.”
Response of the Mayor
The Roman Road Town Centre Coordinator has investigated the situation and advises that the changes of use involved did not require any new planning application nor was any consultation required. Consequently changes in servicing arrangements could not be enforced through the planning process. Officers in both Parking Enforcement and Transportation & Highways are aware that current practice causes disturbance to residents and have investigated the potential for taking enforcement action against these vehicles. There is however a point closure at the north end of Cardigan Road which forces vehicles to turn around, and for larger vehicles the only point at which they can do this is at Anglo Road. Whilst on non-market days these shops should be able to load directly from Roman Road, with no need to use Cardigan Road at all, the closure of that street during market hours means there is little alternative available to the current practice. As no planning restrictions currently apply, the only alternative is for officers to approach the management of these stores direct to seek their cooperation in trying to modify and better manage servicing arrangements for the benefit of surrounding residents - essentially exploring their ability to restrict deliveries to non-market days and introducing enforcement of the current activity on those days if they fail to do so. The Roman Road Implementation Group is seeking to take future development proposals into account alongside existing practicalities in delivering public realm improvements in this area. This includes an area review of traffic management arrangements which has recently been commissioned and which could offer better access routes and servicing arrangements for businesses on Roman Road itself. Summary of supplementary question from Mr. Kirby:
Under the Section 106 agreement for Gladstone Place, £35K was earmarked for a raised pavement There was no consultation with residents on this and HGVs use the kerbs. Wasn’t this a waste of money?
Summary of the Mayor’s response:
I will look into this matter further to see if it can be rectified.

Minutes: The Chair of Council gave Members a few moments to read through the tabled replies.
8.1 Question from Councillor Bill Turner
“Does the Lead Member agree with me that the decision to re-route the 2012 Olympic Marathon away from the East End was a betrayal of the very principles which won the bid for London and can she update me on what action the Council are taking to try and reverse this decision?"
Response of the Mayor:
Indeed I do agree with the Member for Mile End and Globe Town that the decision to change the route of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic marathons is a betrayal of the principles of the bid and of the support that Tower Hamlets has provided to the London 2012 Olympics.
Following receipt of the letter (25th August 2010) from LOCOG advising the Council of the decision to re-route the marathon the Council has
· Corresponded with LOCOG outlining our concerns and requesting the detailed evidence which formed the basis for that decision so that we can review and challenge the basis for the decision · Commenced a media and Public Relations campaign which has included · Articles in various media · On-line petition · Support from prominent politicians including Tessa Jowell former Olympics Minister and Ken Livingstone · Letters to influential media from the Leader with support and signature of the Mayors of Newham and Hackney, and local Members of Parliament · Published through the Council’s web site the letter exchanges between the Council and LOCOG concerning the withdrawal of the walk race events from the Borough and the withdrawal of the marathon events to demonstrate the lack of consultation with and disregard shown to the Borough and its residents · Standard e-mail to send to Lord Coe, Jeremy Hunt (Olympics Minister) and the Mayor of London accessible via the web pages
and is
· Taking legal advice on the decision made
Overall the Council will continue its media, PR and lobbying campaign to maintain awareness of the issue and pressure on LOCOG whilst making the case for re-examination of the decision through the usual professional channels including legal offices if appropriate.
Summary of supplementary question from Councillor Bill Turner:
I am pleased that Mayor Rahman agrees with the majority group about the disgraceful decision to re-route the marathon. Can I have a commitment from Mayor Rahman that he will meet with Boris Jonson to discuss the comments he made about the borough and urge him to support the return of the marathon to East London?
Summary of the Mayor’s response:
I have already written to the Leaders of the Olympic host boroughs reinforcing my commitment to ensuring that this Council has a full and robust role as a key partner in the delivery of the Olympic Games and to Paul Deighton, Chief Executive of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games and will be meeting with the LOCOG as a priority.
I will also be attending the host boroughs meeting on Friday to make clear my ... view the full minutes text for item 8. |

TO CONSIDER MOTIONS SUBMITTED BY MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL PDF 80 KB The motions submitted by Councillors for debate at this meeting are set out in agenda item 12 attached.
Note: London Local Authorities (Travel Concessions) Bill:
Members are aware that the Council meeting on 15th September adjourned, until the current meeting, consideration of a report on the above matter.
Since then the authority has been advised by London Councils that the Mayor of London and Transport for London have withdrawn their support for the proposed Bill. Without this support, the Bill cannot be deposited in parliament and it is not necessary for the Council to consider the matter further. The item has therefore not been included on the agenda for this meeting. Decision: 12.1 Motion proposed by Stephanie Eaton regarding Child Poverty in Tower Hamlets
Councillor David Edgar moved, and Councillor Rachael Saunders seconded, a tabled amendment to the motion. This was agreed and the substantive motion as amended was then agreed as follows:
DECISION
This Council notes: 1. Tower Hamlets has the highest levels of child poverty in the country. 2. Using the National Indicator 116 measure (the proportion of children who live in families in receipt of out of work means-tested benefits and those families in receipt of tax credits where their reported income is less than 60% of the median income) 48% of children in the borough live in poverty. 3. Alongside this 66% of children live in low income households – the Child Poverty Act 2010 makes a commitment to reduce this to 10% nationally. 4. 50% of children are in benefit dependent families. 5. 33% of families live on less than £20,000 per year. 6. Tower Hamlets has the highest free school meals entitlement in the UK (52% of children) This Council further notes that: 1. This Council’s previous commitment to tackling child poverty was recognised through a Beacon award and Corporate Commitment to Tackling London Child Poverty Award.
2. Data on child poverty in the borough from 2008 (the most recent available) shows a 6.6% reduction in the proportion of children living in poverty in Tower Hamlets from 2007. This reduction of 6.6% was the largest reduction of all local authorities in the country. This Council welcomes: The £7bn package for supporting children announced by the government which includes measures to ensure: 1. All disadvantaged two-year-olds will have an entitlement to 15 hours a week of pre-school education, in addition to the 15 hours already available to those aged three and four. The cash will go to the poorest 20% of children nationally of whom many will be in Tower Hamlets. 2. Schools will receive additional funds to offer targeted help to every pupil eligible for free school meals.
3. The vast bulk of the £7bn fairness premium – roughly £5bn – will be devoted to the pupil premium. 4. Schools will be entitled to spend the money as they see fit, for instance on catch-up classes for struggling pupils. This Council is concerned · That the Institute of Fiscal Studies has said that the Government’s spending review is regressive and that “Across every income group, families with children are the biggest losers.” and
· That the Child Poverty Action Group has said that the Spending Review ‘will almost certainly add to, rather than reduce, child poverty’
· By the discontinuation by the Government of the Child Development Grant (CDG) pilot and the reduction by 50% of revenue allocated to Tower Hamlets for Play Pathfinder.
· That without the pupil premium the schools budget will in fact reduce in real terms to 2015
· By the proposal by the Department for Education to remove the additional funding currently received by schools for addressing the learning needs of Bangladeshi ... view the full decision text for item 12. Minutes: Change to order of business
At this point, Councillor Ohid Ahmed MOVED and Councillor Alibor Choudhury SECONDED – “That under Rule 27.1, Rule 13.1 be suspended to allow an urgent motion on Bancroft History Library and Archive to be considered.”
The procedural motion was put to the vote and was carried.
A further procedural motion was then MOVED by Councillor Ohid Ahmed and SECONDED by Councillor Oliur Rahman – “That under Rule 14.1.3 the order of business be varied so that the motion on Bancroft History Library and Archive be considered as the next item of business.”
The procedural motion was put to the vote and was carried.
12.5 Additional Motion proposed by Councillor Ohid Ahmed regarding Bancroft History Library and Archive
Councillor Ohid Ahmed MOVED and Councillor Rabina Khan SECONDED the following tabled motion –
“This Council notes that:
· In October 2008, the Cabinet decided not to proceed with the disposal of the Bancroft Local History & Archive, but to invest in its refurbishment as a focal point for the heritage of the East End, with an additional sum of £250,000 provided to make the building safe; · In 2009, the Cabinet was faced with a difficult choice between using Accelerated Delivery Funding for Bancroft Library and kick starting the project to renovate Poplar Baths, and agreed to commit to the latter, while asking officers to identify other potential sources of funding for the former; · In the spring, council officers identified a potential sum of up to £350,000 as being available for Bancroft from the £2.093 million contribution towards “cultural, social and community products and for the provision of workspace off site” in the Section 106 agreement for 32-42 Bethnal Green Road; · A sum of £500,000 was agreed in Section 106 contributions from the former Peugeot site (438-490 Mile End Road) towards the Bancroft Library or other library facilities.
This Council believes that:
· The East End has a rich heritage that should be safeguarded and celebrated; · The Bancroft Local History Library and Archive should be the focal point of that heritage; · The fabric of its building needs further repairs and access to the library should be enhanced; · The former Lead Member for Culture should not have requested the withdrawal of £350,000 funding from Bancroft in favour of the Rich Mix Centre; · The decision on this request should have been made in Cabinet, not SDC.
This Council therefore resolves:
· To support the Mayor in his proposal that all £500,000 of the Section 106 from the Peugeot site development should be earmarked to the Bancroft Local History Library and Archive; · To urge the Mayor to work with the Strategic Development Committee and review the allocation of Section 106 resources and secure the future of Bancroft Library and archives; · That a report should be brought to the next full Council meeting for debate and consideration to help inform the Mayor’s decisions on this matter.”
