Notices of Motion
(1) Local Government Funding
This council continues to make cuts to the services it provides to its residents, to avoid what would become a catastrophic financial deficit. Proposals for budget savings this year include reductions in home-to-school transport provision and support to local communities. Additionally, the council's reserves are being used to support underfunded mandatory services e.g. Social Care. The proposed economies result from long-term inadequate funding from central government to this local authority.
With this in mind, the council requests that the leader, Councillor Carl Les, writes to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Right Honourable Jeremy Hunt, requesting that he does not reduce taxes in his March 2024 budget and instead undertakes to provide long-term government funding to the meet mandatory provision of council services.
Proposer - Cllr Andrew Murday Seconder - Cllr Barbara Brodigan
(2) Town Council for Harrogate
Proposed Motion for Debate at North Yorkshire Council Meeting 21st February 2024
In accordance with Rule 14 regarding Previous Decisions and motions, the mover & seconder of this motion along with 14 other members signed below, wish to have this motion debated and note that it seeks to rescind, in part, a resolution passed at Full Council on 19th July 2023.
Council sees no need to delay it's stated purpose in creating a Town Council for Harrogate, by continuing to link this process to the evolving process in Scarborough, which by necessity involves the creation of new Wards. Council therefore instructs that Council Officers immediately undertake the necessary public consultation on the 19 single member wards, based on the ward boundaries previously used by Harrogate Borough Council, as agreed on 19th July 2023, in the most cost effective way possible and mindful of the results of the two previous consultations undertaken on this matter since the 2022 Council Elections, reporting back the results of this consultation to the Standards & Governance Committee at it's 15th March meeting, with a view to a report being presented to Council on 15 May.
Proposed – Cllr Chris Aldred, High Harrogate & Kingsley Seconded – Cllr Philip Broadbank, Fairfax & Starbeck
and supported by – Cllr Peter Lacey, Cllr Monika Slater, Cllr Dan Sladden, Cllr Matt Walker, Cllr Bryn Griffiths, Cllr Steve Mason, Cllr Joy Andrews, Cllr Hannah Gostlow, Cllr Pat Marsh, Cllr Felicity Cunliffe-Lister, Cllr Barbara Brodigan, Cllr Kevin Foster, Cllr Arnold Warneken, Cllr Stuart Parsons. |
