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 a public question is midnight Wednesday 12 June 2019. Minutes: Public question from Gail Chester, chair of trustees, Feminist Library: “Why has Southwark Council not finalised the lease of our new premises, which is mainly dependent on a service charge agreement? In November 2018 you undertook to do a planned preventative maintenance survey, yet we’re still waiting for the service charge figure, having been packed ready to move since January.” Response by Councillor Victoria Mills, Cabinet Member for Finance, Performance and Brexit First part of question: “Why has Southwark Council not finalised the lease of our new premises” Response: Southwark Council remains firmly committed to seeing the Feminist Library opening its doors in a great new facility at the heart of our borough. This has not happened at the speed at which both sides hoped and we are sorry that this is the case. Both our lawyers and the lawyers for the Feminist Library have been discussing the various complexities in the agreement. This has taken a little longer than either side would like, but unfortunately there do remain some areas of disagreement and both sides will need to move a little to resolve this. The latest version of the draft lease will be returned to your lawyers this week. Second part of question: “In November 2018 you undertook to do a planned preventative maintenance survey, yet we’re still waiting for the service charge figure’’ Response: Southwark Council sees the Sojourner Truth Centre as becoming a prominent voluntary sector hub in the heart of Peckham where a range of community and non-for-profit organisations can make significant contributions to our borough. We recognise that the building is in need of investment and a proper long-term maintenance plan. Significantly we also recognise that if we are going to support voluntary sector organisations to thrive at the centre we need to make our own financial contribution and be aware of the financial constraints that our tenants here have. Last year we stated we will be undertaking a survey of the building and its curtilage for (1) a common parts Refurbishment, (2) a 15 years Programme of Preventative Maintenance (PPM) and (3) a new annual Service Charge (SC) budget. These are not mutually exclusive and the PPM will form part of the SC. These three pieces of work have been carried out by independent buildings, mechanical & engineering consultants and property managers. We have a draft refurbishment Specification, a draft PPM and a draft SC. All three are currently being refined to deliver a quality building fit for the future. We anticipate final specifications and schedules being available within the next week following which we shall commence the process of procuring the refurbishment. The proposed service charge will therefore be available to the building’s tenants in the same time frame – within the next week.
Supplemental question
Gail Chester asked a supplemental question seeking assurances on a maximum level on the service charge and that the lease issue could be resolved without delay.
Councillor Mills confirmed that it was hoped that the lease ... view the full minutes text for item 5. |

Motions referred from Council Assembly
To consider motions referred from council assembly 27 March 2019 meeting as follows:
· Declaring a climate change emergency · Making Southwark a living wage place · Nexus-Group GP services · Crossrail and cuts to Transport for London · HIV in Southwark · Reform of our broken housing economy · End violence at work charter. Supporting documents: Minutes: Councillor Victoria Mills having declared a disclosable pecuniary interest in Appendix 7, End Violence at Work Charter of this item, left the meeting room while this item was being discussed.
RESOLVED:
Declaring a climate change emergency
That the motion referred from council assembly as a recommendation to cabinet, set out below be noted and agreed (relevant actions were also noted):
1. Council assembly notes:
a. Southwark’s Council Plan Commitments to make Southwark carbon neutral by 2050 and halve Southwark Council’s emissions by 2022. b. Southwark Council’s existing work to tackle climate change, including: i. Cutting the council’s carbon emissions by 25%; ii. Divesting pensions funds away from fossil fuels into sustainable alternatives; iii. Introducing idling fines for drivers who leave their engines running while idle; iv. Closing roads around schools to improve air quality; v. Ensuring more people are walking and cycling rather than using greenhouse gas emitting vehicles; vi. Protecting Southwark’s biodiversity; vii. Keeping recycling rates high: Southwark’s are currently the highest in inner London; viii. Committing to ending single use plastic in the council, halving it in the borough, and introducing water fountains to reduce plastic bottle use.
2. Council assembly further notes:
a. Humans have already caused climate change. Global temperatures have already increased by 1°C from pre-industrial levels. Atmospheric CO2 levels in excess of 400 parts per million are already far in excess of the 350 deemed the safe level for humanity. b. That plastic pollution has become a widespread and critical problem throughout our society and steps must be taken to halt and reduce the flow of plastic waste into our environment. This is a problem that is not going away - all of the plastic ever created still exists today and estimates suggest that 1 in 3 fish now contain some traces of microplastic so our waste is now contaminating our food chain. c. The recent 2018 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report which states that we have just 12 years to act on climate change if global temperature rises are to be kept within the recommended 1.5°C. c. That the expected consequences of a 2°C instead of a 1.5°C increase in global temperatures would include 99% of warm water corals and their associated ecosystems disappearing, at least one in ten summers in the Arctic having little or no sea ice at all, 420 million more people worldwide being exposed to extreme heatwaves, sea levels at least 10cm higher, more frequent extreme weather events, and potential mass extinctions of animals. d. That this Conservative government’s failure to take the radical steps required to prevent an increase of over 1.5°C is shameful. Its guidelines to only reduce carbon emissions by 80% by 2050 are woefully short of the change that is needed. e. That as a largely low-lying area next to the tidal Thames, Southwark is particularly prone to the impact of sea level rises and flooding. f. Rebecca Long-Bailey MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy’s recent announcement ... view the full minutes text for item 22. |
