Go down the stairs unless otherwise instructed and meet in the war memorial park. Members, please note this meeting is being webcast live on the internet and make sure your phones are switched to silent. And can I remind members and officers that in order to be heard clearly within the room by those present and on the webcast, you must speak directly into your microphone.

[00:14:24]Right. I haven't really got any an announcements to make. It's um it's already been quite a busy week. I've already been out to uh about five events which has been lovely. Um traveling around Kings Clear and Pam and um where else have I been? So, you know, it's great. It's lovely. We'll move on.

[00:14:49]Okay. So, now we move on to item five, which is the membership of cabinet. So this is to note those councils appointed by the leader as members of the cabinet including the deputy leader. So I call on councelor Harvey to announce his cabinet.

[00:15:04]Thank you madame mayor. If you go to page seven of the supplement madame mayor and agenda item five listed there uh the cabinet as is. We will continue the same that we have had over the past two years with our successful administration delivering as we are for the borough. So thank you very much madame may.

[00:15:43]>> Is that agreed?

[00:15:47]>> Right now we move on to appointment of committees. So are there any changes to the committee places as attached to the update paper?

[00:16:10]I think we're agreed. Nobody seems to be say anything. Lovely. Okay. So we now move on to item eight which is election of committee chairs. Are there any other nomination than those listed for chairs to committees?

[00:16:41]>> Oh council min. Thank you, Madame Mayor. In the name of democratic transparency regarding the appointments on for this evening regarding our committees and as we hear so often from the leader of the council and the co-leader of the council about constantly the collaboration that they do cross party, we request a recorded vote and all contested votes this evening. Thank you very much.

[00:17:09]>> Thank you, Simon.

[00:17:29]Okay. So, it's what's going to happen is I will be giving you the two nominations for the chairs cuz I think it's basically two per chair and Fiona will be reading out names and then they'll have to say which one you're voting for.

[00:17:43]That's correct, I believe. Okay. So, we'll try and keep this quite quick.

[00:17:49]Okay. Okay. So, if everyone can listen out for their names to say which way they're going. So, the first one those um I have a nomination for councelor Carr and councelor Xander West um for the environment and infrastructure overview and scrutiny committee.

[00:18:16]So, councelor Ashfield >> not as a record.

[00:18:33]>> Madame Mayor, why can't we do recorded vote?

[00:18:40]I appreciate this is uh taken from advice from the monitoring officer and um basically this is the way we have to do this particular selections.

[00:18:52]So um I apologize for this. That's why I say so people can listen out for your name say the counselor you are going to support and then we'll try and withdrew them as fast as possible.

[00:21:38]>> Councelor Karen Watts.

[00:21:40]>> Sorry, I'll get better.

[00:21:44]Okay, I'm going to move straight on to the >> determined to try and make this go quicker.

[00:22:00]Just just to clarify for those think you know couldn't we just do the electronic vote the problem is the system doesn't work that way for voting for people and there's obviously if um if you started doing saying well actually we'll do yes is for one then no is for the other then you've got the abstains and things and it could also give a kind of a negative message about each of the candidates which wouldn't look very nice really as well. So, doesn't work. Painful. Sorry.

[00:22:29]I don't know why I'm apologizing. I didn't make the system.

[00:22:44]>> Councelor Blackberry.

[00:22:47]>> So, so when I stick my hand in the air, you know that I I want something or or or don't want something, but we can't do that for the votes. We we can't just say everybody set their hands up for this candidate and no it >> apparently that that isn't a recorded vote when it comes to >> because the officers not record the hands >> okay I I strongly >> this >> so councelor west you are duly elected to the chair position, right? Okay. Oh, thank council cubit.

[00:23:29]Sorry, I I might be being very stupid and okay if this is the advice, but what we could just do for all of the following ones is can everyone who wants to vote for councelor Mlani vote yes and then nobody else votes and then that tots it up really quickly and then can everybody vote for councelor Freeman and the people who want support Freeman. It tots it up really quickly and then either the system can calculate who hasn't voted or you can even ask anyone who wants to abstain abstain we vote really quickly and it would be much quicker if you forgive me.

[00:24:09]>> Thank you everybody.

[00:24:12]>> Oh my first meeting. Marvelous.

[00:24:16]Uh honestly that's I think that's quite sensible. Unfortunately, we would have to get the system set up. So, we'd be at a bit of a catch 22. So, let's let's just um let's just whiz through them.

[00:24:27]Let's just whis through them. Let's just paid. That's all right. No worries.

[00:24:31]Right. Okay. So, we will now go on to the resident services overview and scrutiny committee. And I've got off.

[00:24:37]Have I got a counselor car question?

[00:24:39]Thank you, councelor Car.

[00:24:41]>> Sorry, just one question. Would it be possible to get the numbers for each side after each vote? That'd be quite helpful.

[00:24:47]>> I will read the numbers out. So, councelor Carr, you had 17, councelor West had 30, and there were three abstensions.

[00:24:57]>> The reason you can't do the two yeses, >> different motions.

[00:25:03]>> Actually, honestly, just uh as it's been pointed out, the reason you can't do the separate votes is you could end up voting twice consistent >> and then we'd have and then we'd be we'd be here till midnight. I haven't We are now ready to move on to resident services. So we have two nominations. I have a nomination for councelor Maleni and councelor Freeman. And um for the sake of saving a few seconds I if council menneni doesn't mind we'll refer to Aaron. Is that okay?

[00:58:02]>> Yay.

[00:58:09]Right. So, um, next item 11 is questions from members of the public. We have received no questions tonight.

[00:58:21]And item 12 is petitions and I believe we have received no petitions again as well. So item 13 is the Silchester neighborhood plan. So we're going to take a report from the cabinet member for strategic planning and infrastructure. So I call on councelor Kesco to propose and call for a second.

[00:58:43]Thank you very much, Madame May. So I'm delighted to see this neighborhood plan before us this evening. Neighborhood plans are perhaps the purest expression of local democracy in action. They're produced by parishes for parishes, but neighborhood plans involve a huge amount of hard work. So, I'd like to express my gratitude to everybody who's been involved in making this neighborhood plan. Um, so thank you, and I hope that the residents of Silchester get to enjoy the benefits of strategic evidence-led development over the next few years.

[00:59:16]Thank you.

[00:59:18]>> And is there a second?

[00:59:21]Councelor Tomlin, is it Yeah. Yes, please. I will speak. Um, so thank you um, councelor KCO. So, I'd like to congratulate the team in Silchester, which is a ward that I represent. Uh, they've worked extremely hard to produce the neighborhood plan, and it is rewarding to see such engagement from residents and parish council teams. Uh, the time, commitment, and enthusiasm shown deserves a reward of our approval tonight so that this plan can be made. This council has shown commitment to supporting the production of these plans despite the current government removing the grant funding.

[00:59:59]However, whilst this plan does give planning weight in determining future applications within Silchester, the decision by the examiner to reject the only possible development site available chosen by the team uh uh to meet this burough's draft local plan requirement for homes, again supported by the referendum, is both extremely bizarre and disappointing. So, as a consequence, there is now no two-year protection from speculative development in Silchester.

[01:00:27]Some might say, possibly orchestrated by the current government's planning policies, but we are where we are and therefore I commend the Silchchester local plan to members for the approval and I second this as well. Thank you.

[01:00:39]>> Thank you. Okay, Councelor Ganesh.

[01:00:42]>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Um, I would like to congratulate Schester. uh the neighborhood plans are the the the good example of how the local democracy uh work uh in uh ground level. They gave communities a genuine voice in shaping the future and places they know and love. This plan reflects the strong commitment to search residents to protecting the village's unique rural culture, historic significance and community identity. Um what is particularly commendable is this plan supports the support the right sustainable development especially uh when we are uh uh slightly behind or or when we don't have the upto-ate or updated local plan. Uh so uh the producing the the the neighborhood plan takes uh enormous effort and a lot of volunteers involved. So I would like to congratulate and support them. uh and we would like to see more villages, more parish councils putting their thought and bringing up uh their neighborhood plans up to date. Thank you.

[01:01:46]Any other speakers?

[01:01:48]Okay, let me just sum up.

[01:01:50]>> So, um councelor Kesco if you'd like to just sum up.

[01:01:56]>> Not quite sure if there's anything else to say other than to to thank everyone again. residents, parish councils and our officer team are also uh involved very closely in the in the development of this plan. So thank you and hopefully we'll see more neighborhood plans coming over the course of this um of this council.

[01:02:13]>> Thank you very much. So are we all agreed?

[01:02:15]>> Agreed.

[01:02:16]>> Okay, moving on to item 14, questions from members of the council on notice.

[01:02:21]We haven't had any questions received and the last item is questions to the chair of cabinet and or committee. Are there any questions to the chair of cabinet or committees on the minutes listed?

[01:02:39]Well, there you go. I think that was a bit quicker than Hampshire's today.

[01:02:50]Okay, everybody. Thank you very much.

[01:02:52]Um, and thank you for being so efficient through our recorded vote because yeah, it was we bit paper but we got there.
