Minutes:
The clerk advised that the Chief Executive had received a request from Councillor Eaton that a minor amendment be made to the record of her comments relating to agenda item 11.1 “Government announcement of 6.2 billion in year spending cuts” (page 21) as follows:
· Deletion of the text in bullet 3 “Expressed dismay that the proposed cuts would impact disproportionately on Tower Hamlets and the most needy in the Community, and offered support in the lobbying of the Coalition Government in this regard.” and insertion of the text “Commented that were it to be the case that the proposed cuts would impact disproportionately on Tower Hamlets and the most needy in the Community, she would be as dismayed as members of the Cabinet and would offer her support in the lobbying of the Coalition Government in this regard.”
The Chair commented that he was amenable to the amendment requested by Councillor Eaton.
Councillor Peck, Deputy Leader of the Council and Vice-Chair, proposed that the minutes be amended to correct the following 3 points of inaccuracy:
· Page 13 - Agenda item 7.1 “Children and Young People's Plan Annual Review 2009-10” final bullet point on page: he had stated that youth services continued not to address the needs of the west of LAP 5 and not the west of the borough, as recorded.
· Page 18 - Agenda item 7.2 “Establishment of a Children and Families Trust Board for Tower Hamlets” Resolution 4 at top of page: he recalled that a specific timescale for review of the membership and organisational structure of the Children and Families Trust Board had been set by the Cabinet and accordingly the reference to an “expeditious review” should be replaced with the specific timescale “that the outcomes of the review be reported back to the next meeting of the Cabinet”.
· Page 20 - Agenda item 11.1 “Government announcement of 6.2 billion in year spending cuts” final bullet point on page: he had referred to the achievement of £5 million in efficiency savings in each of the last 5 years, not the achievement of £5 million in efficiency savings over the last 5 years, as recorded.
The Chair Moved (taking account of the proposed amendments from Councillor Peck and the advisement of the Clerk on behalf of Councillor Eaton); and it was: -
Resolved
That subject to the amendments set out below the unrestricted minutes of the ordinary meeting of the Cabinet held on 9th June 2010 be approved and signed by the Chair, as a correct record of the proceedings.
