Public Question Time (15 Minutes)
To receive any questions from members of the public which have been submitted in advance of the meeting in accordance with the cabinet procedure rules. The deadline for the receipt of public questions is midnight Wednesday 13 September 2017. Minutes: Public Question from Brigid Gardner on behalf of Dulwich Village Forum
The new junction design for Dulwich Village is going ahead despite community opposition. Once works are complete and the bedding-in period is over, what tools, data and criteria will be used to measure the success of the scheme against the? ??Dulwich Vision, ‘Healthy Streets’ and the 2011 Transport Plan?
Response by Councillor Ian Wingfield, Cabinet Member for the Environment and the Public Realm
The Dulwich Village junction modification is part of the Elephant and Castle to Crystal Palace quietway proposal and a critical element of the council’s cycle strategy.
Our monitoring plan will cover the entire route, although specific issues will be monitored at some significant locations, including the Dulwich Village junction
Following completion of the works at Dulwich Village full post monitoring will be carried out. Monitoring will start with a road safety audit stage 3 carried out by an independent road safety specialist as soon as possible after completion which will identify any immediate safety issues that occur post-construction
Over the following year the council will be monitoring air quality changes on the 4 approaches to the junction and traffic counts will be taken at intervals to see how traffic has been affected at various times of the year, as well as traffic flow and delay information which will be compared to the baseline and modelled data.
There is a central database of all collisions in the borough that result in personal injury and once a full 12 months data is available the independent road safety specialist will be invited back to carry out a further audit (stage 4) that looks at the cause of any incidents that have taken place, in particular those involving pedestrians and cyclists.

Petition from Southwark Group of Tenant Organisations (SGTO) - Keep the Repairs Line Free
To consider a petition from Southwark Group of Tenant Organisations (SGTO) requesting to “keep the repairs line free.” Supporting documents: Minutes: The petition spokesperson addressed the meeting to outline their concerns relating to the decision to change the housing repairs line from a Freephone number to a paid number. It was felt that the move would cause considerable upset and hardship for the sake of saving a relatively minor sum of money. Additionally it was felt that many residents living in council housing do not use a land line or have a phone contract, with a large proportion using pay as you go calls. SGTO were happy to support a digital inclusion strategy but wished to exercise caution before any such strategy was mature, with the risk of impacting residents negatively.
Councillor Fiona Colley, cabinet member for finance, modernisation and performance responded to the petition by confirming that cabinet would retain the Freephone for housing repairs.
RESOLVED:
1. That the petition from Southwark Group of Tenant Organisations (SGTO) requesting to “keep the repairs line free” be received.
2. That the Freephone number for housing repairs be retained. |

1. That the use of the open access pan-London contract that Lambeth Council have with Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (KCH) for the provision of integrated sexual health services, from 1 October 2017 to a maximum end date of 31 March 2022, producing an estimated maximum spend of £6,764,000 as detailed in paragraph 37 of the report be approved.
2. That the use of the open access pan-London contract that Lambeth Council have with Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT) for the provision of integrated sexual health services, from 1 October 2017 to a maximum end date of 31 March 2022, producing an estimated maximum spend of £13,450,000 as detailed in paragraph 38 of the report be approved.
3. That it be noted that the total spend detailed in paragraphs 1 and 2 of the report includes costs for growth linked to the repatriation of patients into local services from clinics outside the area (as per paragraph 45 of this report), as follows:
a) a maximum spend of £225,000 over the maximum 4.5 year contract duration, which equates to £50,000 per annum, for KCH; and b) a maximum spend of £450,000 over the maximum 4.5 year contract duration, which equates to £100,000 per annum, for GSTT.
These costs will only be paid if evidence of that repatriation (and attributable out of area cost savings) is provided.
4. That the successful partnership working between Southwark Public Health, the two trusts, and the commissioners in Lambeth Council provides the council with significantly reduced contract costs in delivering integrated sexual health services be noted. Over the lifetime of the contracts contract values will be reduced by £9.31m. The annual contract cost of the KCH contract will reduce from £2.44m in 2016-17 to £1.60m in 2018-19. For GSTT, the reduction is from £4.12m in 2016-17 to £3.04m in 2018-19.
5. That it be noted some of these reductions in contract costs for integrated sexual health services will be reinvested in expanding the provision of online testing, as part of the transformation programme to deliver lower sexual health costs into the future. This is in line with the gateway 1 report and subject to separate gateway 2 decisions. Moving asymptomatic testing out of clinic enables continuing cost efficiencies (online testing is cheaper than clinic testing), ensures a sustainable local sexual health system, and enables the council to continue to manage clinic demand and capacity. Early diagnosis also prevents onward infection (reducing the number of transmitted infections) and is essential in reducing the prevalence of infection within the population (and associated treatment costs, for which the council is responsible). |

What does Brexit mean for Southwark ?
That the motion referred from council assembly as a recommendation to cabinet, set out below, be agreed.
1. Council assembly notes that the administration remains committed to its core values of fairness and equality, and to delivering its manifesto commitments made to the residents of our borough in 2010 and 2014 - to creating a fairer future for all. This commitment will not change as the UK prepares to leave the EU.
2. Council assembly notes that the UK Statistics Authority estimates the number of EU nationals living in the borough is 31,000, and recognises the significant contribution that EU nationals living and working in Southwark make to our community.
3. Council assembly notes that 73% of those who voted in the EU referendum in Southwark opted for the United Kingdom to remain a member of the European Union and welcomes the administration’s public commitment at that time to “work hard to ensure that Southwark does not lose the many benefits that the EU brings”.
4. Council assembly notes that since 2010 the employment rate in our borough has risen by over 10% to nearly 77%, with nearly 40,000 more people aged 16 – 64 now in work.
5. Council assembly welcomes the administration’s commitment to attracting jobs and investment to Southwark, and notes with concern that some employers may delay investment decisions or consider transferring some employment away from London as a result of the Brexit decision.
6. Council assembly notes that this administration is dedicated to making our borough a greener and healthier place to live, and has invested in making walking and cycling easier, and reducing the council’s own carbon emissions.
7. Council assembly notes that despite years of national government funding cuts, this administration has remained committed to protecting the most vulnerable in our communities, recognising that because of inflation and a weaker pound in the period since June 2016, our residents are facing rising costs for food, energy and other essentials.
8. Council assembly recognises the importance of Southwark’s cultural, ethnic and religious diversity, and believes that this diversity is one of the factors that makes Southwark such an exciting and vibrant area to live and work in. Our diversity is strengthened by our bonds with other EU countries, and we should therefore continue to work with, and strengthen our connections with, our twinned boroughs of Clichy and Langenhagen.
9. Council assembly calls on cabinet to work with Southwark’s three Labour MPs to lobby their leader, Jeremy Corbyn, and this Conservative government in order to clarify the rights of EU nationals to remain, rule out withdrawal from the EU without a deal, guarantee a Parliamentary vote on any final outcome to negotiations, set out transitional arrangements to maintain jobs, trade and certainty for business, set out proposals to retain the benefits of the Customs Union and Single Market, set out clear measures to respect the competencies of the devolved administrations, include clear protections for EU ... view the full minutes text for item 26. |
