The declaration of interest was made on the basis that the report contained recommendations relating to the Ocean Estate, partly located in St Dunstan’s and Stepney Green Ward, and Councillor Rahman was a Ward Councillor for that Ward.

Councillor Rabina Khan, Cabinet Member for Housing, at the request of the Mayor, in introducing the report, summarised the key points contained therein, emphasising:-

·                    The Cabinet had been advised in 2009, when the Ocean Regeneration Scheme had been approved, that additional work might be required to the 120 homes in Studland, Allonby and Channel Houses, subject to further structural investigations and development of options/costings for the works.

·                    Due to the potential complexity of the work and the likelihood of future issues, officers had also considered alternative options.

·                    Officers considered there were long term advantages in replacing these blocks with new homes as this provided better long term housing provision options including an increase in affordable rented homes and family sized homes.

·                    Refurbishment of the existing blocks would also require additional funding resources to be identified.

A discussion followed which focused on the following points:-

·                    The proposal to demolish and redevelop Studland, Allonby and Channel Houses was welcomed in the context of their poor condition and the new ability for Ward Councillors to give assurances to residents as to the way forward.

·                    Particular concern was expressed that there was a lack of clarity regarding the implications for existing residents of the redevelopment option and reassurance was strongly sought that all residents, including, those who were homeless, in temporary accommodation or permanent residents would be rehoused.

In response Councillor Rabina Khan, Cabinet Member for Housing, acknowledged that this was an important point and gave assurances that all the council’s tenants would be re-housed according to the Authority’s policies.

The Mayor:

•          Noted the severe overcrowding in the borough and the communities desire to explore all options to increase the supply of affordable and family sized homes. He also confirmed the importance of protecting the interests of existing tenants.

·                    Agreed:

o                   An amendment in respect of the options presented for consideration in recommended decision 2.1 of the report, to read as below in Decision 1.

o                   A minor amendment, consequent upon agreement of Decision 1, to the options being considered at recommended decision 2.2 and 2.3, to read as below in Decision 2 and 3.

o                   The options being considered, as set out in recommended decision 2.4 and 2.5 of the report.

and considering that it would be appropriate to adjust the decisions accordingly; consequently agreed the following:

2.                  That the decision of the Mayor in Cabinet, made on 4^th April 2012, in relation to draft Community Safety Plan 2012/13 be reaffirmed, and that full Council be recommended to adopt the Plan, as contained in Appendix A to the April Cabinet report (CAB 102/112); and

3.         That it be agreed that the draft Community Safety Plan 2012/13 be submitted unrevised to full Council together with the Mayor’s reasons for disagreement with the full Council’s proposed amendments.

Head of Community Safety Partnership Domestic Violence and Hate Crime, Communities, Localities and Culture (E. Fieran-Reed)

Councillor Ohid Ahmed, Deputy Mayor, in introducing the report before the Mayor/ Cabinet, summarised the key points contained therein, commenting as follows:-

•          The Authority had had successes over the past financial year, but where there had been increases in levels of crime and disorder, Community Safety Partnership (CSP) resources had been targeted to address this in line with the priorities in the Community Safety Plan (the Plan). This had lead to significant decreases in the levels of serious youth violence, robbery, burglary and gun crime in 2012.

•          The proposed Plan identified 10 key priorities for the CSP, the drivers of crime and disorder and the governance structure through which the CSP aimed to address these priorities in 2012/ 13.

•          Each sub-group within the CSP produced a delivery plan against the relevant Plan priorities. Performance against these delivery plans was monitored on a bi-monthly basis by the CSP to ensure action was being taken against each priority.

•          It was a statutory responsibility under the Crime and Disorder Act (1998) for Community Safety Partnerships to produce a Community Safety Plan.

•          The previous and proposed decision of the Mayor/ Cabinet on this matter, along with the priorities within the Plan were based on the findings of the Strategic Review 2011, consultation with partner agencies (through the CSP) and the community through the Police and Community Safety Board public meetings.

•          The proposed Plan had been thoroughly discussed at various panels and boards and already been through a rigorous approval process, both internal to the Authority, external with the CSP and the Police and Community Safety Board Executive.

•          Given that the public and partners (both Statutory and Third Sector) were overwhelmingly in support of the proposed Plan and its priorities, both he and the Mayor considered that the originally proposed CSP 2012/13 was robust and it should be endorsed unrevised by the Mayor and Cabinet, with onward recommendation for adoption by full Council. Accordingly an alternative option in relation to recommended decisions 2.1 and 2.2 was proposed for the Mayor’s consideration [see Decisions 1 to 3 below].

The Service Head Strategy & Resources & Olympic Impact, Mr Beattie, at the request of the Chair, commented that the proposed amendments to the Plan from the full Council were based on a misconception as to the function of the Plan which was for it to be a high level document. Underneath the Plan sat targets for each CSP sub group which in turn informed the general target setting. Performance against the targets was monitored by the CSP Executive. The CSP strategy was also defined by statute. He could therefore give an assurance that there were targets and structured performance management underpinning these.

During discussion it was noted that it was not appropriate for the targets to be set by the Authority alone as it was one element of the Community Safety Partnership. In addition, performance on crime was a matter for the Metropolitan Police not the Authority.
