Councillor John Cowan B.Com. (Hon), F.C.A:

Recognition of Long Service

The Council of the London Borough of Harrow do hereby record their appreciation of the twenty five years’ service by Councillor John Cowan to the London Borough of Harrow.

Councillor John Cowan was first elected in May 1986 as Councillor for the Canons Ward, which he has represented continuously since then.  He was serving his seventh consecutive period in office, for the life of the current Council 2010-2014.  Councillor Cowan was Deputy Leader of the Conservative Group from 1997–1998 and Leader of the Group from 1999–2003.

Councillor Cowan has served on various Council Committees, including the Education Committee and the Policy and Resources Committee.  He also served as a key appointee to the Harrow College Further Education Corporation Board and North London Collegiate School Board.  His particular interest has, however, been with financial issues, giving rise to extended service on the Audit Committee and subsequently the Governance, Audit and Risk Committee.  In that time, he held the offices of Chairman of the Audit Committee, Chairman of Governance Audit and Risk Committee and Deputy Chairman of the Policy and Resources Committee.

Recommendation I:             Cabinet

                                                (7 April 2011)

Further to Item 9 on the Summons, the Council received a Recommendation from the meeting of Cabinet held on 7 April 2011.  The recommendation was formally moved by the Leader of the Council, Councillor Bill Stephenson.

RESOLVED:  That, having reviewed and commented on the draft issue and options consultation documents for the Harrow and Wealdstone Area Action Plan, the draft Site Allocations DPD, and the draft Development Management DPD, the draft Issues and Options consultation documents for the Harrow and Wealdstone Area Action Plan; the draft Site Allocations DPD and the draft Development Management DPD be approved for a six week period of public consultation on each of the documents, subject to authority being delegated to the Divisional Director Planning, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Planning, Development and Enterprise, to agree amendments to the documents prior to public consultation.

A period of up to 15 minutes is allowed for asking written questions by Members of Council of a member of the Executive or the Chairman of any Committee:-

(i)                 of which notice has been received at least two clear working days prior to the day of this Meeting; or

(ii)               which relate to urgent matters, and the consent of the Executive Member or Committee Chairman to whom the question is to be put has been obtained and the content has been advised to the Director of Legal and Governance Services by 12 noon on the day of the Council Meeting.

Any such questions received will be tabled.

In accordance with Rule 12, the questions submitted by Councillors and responded to by Portfolio Holders, are contained at Appendix II.

The following Motions have been notified in accordance with the requirements of Council Procedure Rule 15, to be moved and seconded by the Members indicated:-

(i)                 At Item 11(1) the Council received a Motion in the names of Councillors David Perry and Krishna James in the following terms:

“This Council firmly opposes The Metropolitan Police Authority’s (MPA’s) decision to dispose of Wealdstone Police Station, a listed building with a distinctive character located in Wealdstone High Street.  This shocking decision is a repeat of previous such plans in 2003 and 2008 which were then firmly opposed by the Council and local MPs to ensure that the High Street and the surrounding areas were kept safe from anti-social behaviour, crime and the fear of crime.

This Council notes that the existence of this police station is vital to maintaining the current ‘Wealdstone Anti-Social Behaviour Partnership’ (WASP) in the area together with the team of volunteers based in the existing building.  Although members of the public do not have direct access to the building, this outrageous proposal to close the Police Station by the MPA is short sighted and will damage local policing initiatives being taken in an area which is of great concern to the Council and Harrow’s community.

This Council instructs the Chief Executive to write to the Mayor of London, the MPA, Harrow’s three MPs and Brent and Harrow’s London Assembly Member:

·                     conveying Council’s strong objections and opposition to the closure of the police station;

·                     seeking immediate withdrawal of the closure plan;

·                     asking for their support to the Council’s opposition to the closure.”

(ii)               There was an amendment in the names of Councillors Susan Hall and Mark Versallion, which sought to amend the Motion as follows:

“This Council is sympathetic to the need of the Metropolitan Police Authority’s (MPA) need to make savings given the financial legacy left by the previous Government, but nonetheless opposes its decision to dispose of Wealdstone Police Station until such time as a suitable replacement facility can be found.  It is fully accepted that the current building is not fit for purpose, and that a new facility must include accommodation for the Wealdstone Anti-Social Behaviour Partnership (WASP), improved facilities for officers and the public, provide good value for money and be fully DDA compliant (which the current building is not).

This Council notes that the existence of a borough-central police station is vital to maintaining WASP and keeping the surrounding area safe from anti-social behaviour, crime and the fear of crime, as was argued by the Council and local MPs when the Wealdstone station was threatened in 2003 and 2008.

This Council therefore instructs the Chief Executive to write to the Mayor of London, the MPA, Harrow’s three MPs and Brent and Harrow’s London Assembly Member:

·                     to ask that all involved parties work together to find a suitable replacement to Wealdstone police station, with the possibility of utilising Council facilities;

·                     to convey Council’s strong objections and opposition to the closure of the police station without a suitable replacement being found;

·                     to seek their support for the Council’s opposition to the closure and the search  ...  view the full minutes text for item 98.

(i)                 At Item 11(2) the Council received a Motion in the names of Councillors Brian Gate and Bill Stephenson in the following terms:

“This Council is proud of its record of support, over many years to all of the schools in its care.  It refutes the description of Harrow Council by Bob Blackman, MP as “the dead hand of the Local Authority".

This Council calls upon Mr Blackman to apologise for this gross mis?representation of the valued partnership that Harrow Council enjoys with all its schools, and would be more appropriately described as the "supportive hand of the Local Authority".  Mr Blackman’s description is an insult to all elected members, past and present, from all political parties, as well as officers and colleagues in our schools.  It is dismissive of the strong cross-party support this valued partnership has enjoyed with its schools and colleges over many years.

For instance, the Local Authority has set up the Harrow Skills Centre, successfully changed the Age of Transfer to Secondary Schools from Year 8 to Year 7 as well as setting up a highly successful Sixth Form Collegiate.  It is also delegates a higher percentage of the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) directly to its schools than any other Local Authority in London.

This Council calls upon Mr Blackman to apologise to all of the Council’s officers who have provided, and continue to provide strong high quality professional support, and to elected members past and present from all political parties who have served and continue to serve willingly on governing bodies and Local Authority Committees, for devaluing the hard work and commitment they have shown in supporting our young people.

This Council is committed to continuing to support all schools irrespective of whether they become academies or not.

This Council instructs the Chief Executive to write to Bob Blackman, MP for Harrow East, with Copies to Gareth Thomas, MP for Harrow West, and Nick Hurd, MP for Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner informing them of this motion.”

RESOLVED:  That the substantive Motion be adopted.

(i)                 At Item 11(3) the Council received a Motion in the names of Councillors Margaret Davine and Victoria Silver in the following terms:

“This Council notes:

·                     that the cross-party Commons Health Committee has urged a rethink of the proposals contained in the Health and Social Care Bill;

·                     that on 4 April, Andrew Lansley was adamant that there would be no changes to the Bill; yet within 24 hours of his statement David Cameron intervened to put the Bill on hold to allow more time for consultation.

This Council welcomes this decision and believes that the proposed implementation of GP commissioning will overload doctors, thus resulting in services being outsourced to private providers over which local people will have no control.  This is in total contravention of David Cameron’s election promise that ‘we will cut the deficit not the NHS’.

This Council further notes that many health professional bodies are opposed to these proposals, which have been introduced with undue haste.

This Council therefore calls on the Government to think again and drop its current proposals and enter into discussions with all those concerned to find a way forward to preserve and enhance the NHS, bearing in mind the need for accountability.

This Council instructs the Chief Executive to write to the Secretary of State for Health, the Shadow Secretary of State for Health, all three Harrow MPs, the London Assembly Member for Brent and Harrow informing them of the above motion, and asking them to use their good offices to deliver the above outcome.”

(ii)               There was an amendment in the names of Councillors Barry Macleod-Cullinane and Mrs Lurline Champagnie, which sought to amend the Motion as follows:

“This Council notes:

·                     that the cross-party Commons Health Committee has urged a rethink of the proposals contained in the Health and Social Care Bill;

(i)                 At Item 11(4) the Council received a Motion in the names of Councillors Susan Hall and Barry Macleod-Cullinane in the following terms:

“This Council would welcome the adoption of academy status by:

·                     the seven Harrow high schools currently considering the proposals.

·                     any other Harrow schools that may wish to become academies in the future.

This Council believes in the merits of academies, and believes their introduction into Harrow will further improve the borough’s already strong educational performance and benefit both our schools and our students.”

(ii)               There was an amendment in the names of Councillors Brian Gate and Bill Stephenson, which sought to amend the Motion as follows:

“This Council notes that seven Harrow High Schools are currently considering adoption of academy status:

As a supportive Local Authority, it will:-

·                     support the schools and work in partnership with them regardless of the outcome of the decision to convert to academy status

·                     encourage all schools to work closely together in the best interests of Harrow people, including high schools working with primaries and through the Collegiate

·                     ensure the Borough’s admissions arrangements for community schools and fair access protocol are important to Harrow parents; we will not wish to see these changed and remain committed to high quality Harrow school places for all Harrow children

·                     remain committed to great learning opportunities for all Harrow pupils whatever their abilities or disabilities

·                     as democratically elected representatives, seek to be actively involved in supporting any new academies and continue to hold all schools publicly to account for outcomes for the borough’s young people

·                     will work with the respective Governing Bodies to ensure that due diligence is exercised in considering academy status

·                     will encourage fair and wide consultation as part of the process.

This Council believes in the merits of all state schools in Harrow continuing to work together in partnership whatever their status, believing that this will improve the Borough’s already strong educational performance and that this will be to the benefit of all of our students.”

(iii)             Upon a vote, the amendment at (ii) was carried.

(iv)             Upon a vote the substantive Motion, as amended, was agreed.

RESOLVED:  That the substantive Motion, as amended and set out at (ii) above, be adopted.

(i)                 At Item 11(5) the Council received a Motion in the names of Councillors Barry Macleod-Cullinane and Paul Osborn in the following terms:

“This Council pledges that Harrow councillors will:

·                     treat residents with respect.

·                     treat present and past councillors with respect.

This Council therefore pledges that no Harrow councillors will be involved with or affiliated with any blogs, websites or other media forms or activities which in any way contravene the above statements.

Additionally, this Council instructs the Director of Legal and Governance Services to issue reminding guidance to councillors on their obligations towards residents under the Code of Conduct.”

(ii)               There was an amendment in the names of Councillors Brian Gate and Bill Stephenson, which sought to amend the Motion as follows:

“This Council reiterates its full support for the ‘Code of Conduct for Councillors’ as laid out in the Constitution.  Council further welcomes the fact that training is to be provided in the near future on the conduct of councillors involved with or affiliated with any blogs, websites or other media forms.”

(iii)             Upon a vote, the amendment at (ii) was carried.

(iv)             Upon a vote the substantive Motion, as amended, was agreed.

RESOLVED:  That the substantive Motion, as amended and set out at (ii) above, be adopted.

This Motion stood referred to the Executive.

(i)                 At Item 11(7) the Council received a Motion in the names of Councillors Barry Macleod-Cullinane and Susan Hall in the following terms:

“This Council welcomes the additional £5 million in funding announced last week by the Transport Secretary Phillip Hammond to help combat pollution across London.

This Council is also greatly concerned by the looming threat of £300 million of fines that could be imposed on councils across London by the European Union if certain anti-pollution targets are not met.

This Council therefore instructs the Chief Executive to refer these concerns to the Transport Secretary, Harrow’s three MPs, and other relevant bodies, as such fines being forced on Harrow Council would have a significant impact on frontline services.”

RESOLVED:  That the substantive Motion be adopted.

Report of the Director of Legal and Governance Services.

The Council received a report of the Director of Legal and Governance Services providing a summary of the urgent decisions taken by Cabinet, the Leader and Portfolio Holders, and the use of the special urgency procedure since the last meeting.
