CHAIR'S ANNOUNCEMENTS
Welcome Welcome everyone to our last Council meeting of 2022!
I would like to thank you all for your dedication and hard work over the past twelve months to assist our residents and make Surrey an even better place in which to live and work. It has been a very challenging year for many of our residents and unfortunately, circumstances are likely to get even harder for some time yet.
I know, however, that together with our excellent officers in Surrey County Council (SCC), we will continue to do our very best and deliver for our residents.
Stars in Surrey Awards Which leads me on nicely to the ‘Stars in Surrey’ Awards – SCC’s inaugural awards to recognise and celebrate the efforts and successes of individuals and teams across the council, as well as our partners and heroes in our communities. I had the privilege of sitting on the judging panel which was both awe-inspiring and humbling. There were a staggering 450 nominations across the length and breadth of the service and county; the commitment, passion and expertise of all those nominated was exceptional.
I would like to take this opportunity to say again a huge and heart-felt ‘thank you’ to all our winners and nominees. How lucky we are to have you.
Act of Remembrance On 11 November it was my honour to hold a short Act of Remembrance in the memorial garden at Woodhatch Place. I was joined by Joanna Killian, Chief Executive, members of the Royal British Legion, serving military personnel, members of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service and Members and officers of SCC.
Along with millions of people throughout the country, we paused at 11 o’clock to remember all those who fought and gave their lives in two World Wars - and many other conflicts since - in the service of our country, its values and its freedoms. We paid tribute to the brave soldiers of Ukraine as they continue their fight for freedom. Our thoughts and prayers remain steadfast with the people of Ukraine.
Members Allocation Over the past year, it has been my honour and privilege to visit a great number of charities throughout Surrey who do the most wonderful things to help and support our most vulnerable residents.
I have visited, supported and donated to many phenomenal charities this year – The Rainbow Trust, Surrey Search & Rescue, Transform Housing, Surplus for Supper, The Brain Tumour Trust, Surrey War Widows, What Next, LeatherHEAD Start, Dorking Men’s Shed – to name but a few.
Many charities are struggling with fewer donations which, of course, now need to go a lot further.
With that in mind, this is a friendly reminder that the deadline for spending your Members’ Allocation is fast approaching – 31 January next year. Any requests submitted after this time will not be met and any monies leftover will not be carried forward into the next financial year. There are so many deserving causes in your areas; please ensure that you spend your ... view the full agenda text for item 78/22 Additional documents: Minutes: The Chair:
· Led the Council in a moment of silence for the families affected by the terrible events that occurred in the last few days in Solihull. · Congratulated the Chief Executive of the Council and her amazing staff on the recent Stars in Surrey award ceremony, she congratulated the winners and nominees of the Awards and hoped that they would carry on in the future. · Noted that her full announcements could be found in the Council agenda front sheet.

The Leader to make a statement.
There will be an opportunity for Members to ask questions and/or make comments.
Additional documents: Minutes: Colin Cross arrived at 10.10 am.
Buddhi Weerasinghe arrived at 10.15 am.
The Leader of the Council made a detailed statement.
A copy of the statement is attached as Appendix A. Members raised the following topics:
· Agreed that Members should be proud of the Council’s staff. · Highlighted the continuing issues in Home to School Transport; the number of appeals had increased and parents should not have to deal with the stress of unnecessary appeals. · Hoped that Members on the Appeals Panels would now be listened to and the fifty recommendations from the internal review would be actioned; noted that a new board had been set up to oversee the progress however it lacked cross-party membership. · Noted that the budget to be debated at February’s Council meeting should cover an increased mileage allowance for staff who drive as part of their duties and saw no evidence of the Cabinet applying pressure on Surrey’s MPs to achieve that. · Noted that once in receipt of the final settlement figures for Surrey from the Government, the Council must decide how to close the current £14 million budget gap ensuring that services are preserved particularly for the most vulnerable; noting perhaps a total 4% Council tax increase, the balance was between making efficiencies and being efficient. · Noted that the latest version of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) scheme was controversial for many Surrey residents and strongly encouraged cross-party working across the Council and the borough and district councils most affected, and close liaison with the Mayor of London. · Wished all a Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2023 for all in the county; and collaboration between Members to face the challenges ahead. · Welcomed a new Member of the Council, Harry Boparai who was elected at the recent by-election and noted that the Liberal Democrat Group was at its largest since 1997. · Thanked the administration for listening to the concerns raised about the affordability of the Your Fund Surrey project, with the budget now reduced from £100 million to £60 million. · Noted that the Council was spending £500,000 on Community Link Officers (CLOs) to engage with local communities and Members as a replacement of the Local and Joint Committees; asked how the Leader could justify that level of spending. · Noted disappointment that the relationship between the borough and district councils and the Council appeared to have soured; welcomed that in the new year the Leader would listen to and work with the borough and district councils further. · Asked the Leader to commit to expand the Council’s use of community hubs that were warm and free so that there was one within walking distance of all neighbourhoods in Surrey; and for the Leader to commit to the Council to undertake an energy makeover of the community spaces before next winter. · Noted thanks for the recent excellent sustainable transport learning event and examples provided of areas doubling their bus patronage due to the introduction of bus priority lanes at a bigger scale then being proposed in Surrey. ... view the full minutes text for item 79/22 |

MEMBERS' QUESTION TIME
1. The Leader of the Council or the appropriate Member of the Cabinet or the Chairman of a Committee to answer any questions on any matter relating to the powers and duties of the County Council, or which affects the county.
(Note: Notice of questions in respect of the above item on the agenda must be given in writing, preferably by e-mail, to Democratic Services by 12 noon on Wednesday 7 December 2022).
2. Cabinet Member Briefings on their portfolios.
These will be circulated by email to all Members prior to the County Council meeting, together with the Members’ questions and responses.
There will be an opportunity for Members to ask questions.
Additional documents: Minutes: Questions:
Notice of twenty-three questions had been received. The questions and replies were published in the second supplementary agenda (item 9) on 12 December 2022.
A number of supplementary questions were asked and a summary of the main points is set out below:
(Q1) Joanne Sexton asked whether the Cabinet Member would agree that it was disappointing that the Council had chosen not to engage with the borough and district councils. She hoped that the questions would initiate a change of approach, ensuring that those Cabinet Members who are twin-hatters will communicate any changes in advance, a more inclusive process was needed which would benefit all residents.
In response, the Leader in the Cabinet Member for Transport, Infrastructure and Growth’s absence would follow that up with the Member, he acknowledged that the more such matters can be discussed and agreed the better.
(Q2) Catherine Powell noted that at a recent select committee meeting the statement was made that using Surrey Deciles improved granularity; she asked the Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member to explain how it improved granularity at the lower end of the deciles.
In response, the Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Communities and Community Safety explained that the Surrey Deciles were a useful tool that had been developed by the Public Health Intelligence and Insight team with a particular focus on the deprivation in Surrey to understand its granular nature, alongside other considerations such as public value and deprivation of isolation and transport. She noted that it was difficult to identify pockets of deprivation using a national measurement. She highlighted the large amount of analysis undertaken to inform processes such as Your Fund Surrey, providing a fuller understanding of where those deprived communities existed.
(Q4) Eber Kington noted that the response from the Leader continued to justify intervention in the functions reserved for the borough and district councils and ignored the concerns expressed to him by Surrey’s leaders. Due to the Government's imminent change to the law on the matter and given the Leader’s position as the Chairman of the County Councils Network, he asked that if the change in the law did not apply to the Council, which county councils it was aimed at.
In response, the Leader noted that he set out why it was important that the Council had a county-wide view of housing issues and noted a recent positive conversation with the leaders of the borough and district councils; the focus and lobbying of the Government would be on issues that affected the whole county.
(Q5) Robert Evans asked whether the Leader would agree that Surrey's food banks provided an invaluable service to many needy families in the county and asked whether he would join him in thanking all those staff and volunteers at the food banks. He asked whether he would agree that the need for food banks in Surrey - a wealthy county - was a sad indictment for twelve years of Conservative Party Government.
In response, the Leader noted the fantastic ... view the full minutes text for item 83/22 |

STATEMENTS BY MEMBERS
Any Member may make a statement at the meeting on a local issue of current or future concern.
(Note: Notice of statements must be given in writing, preferably by e-mail, to Democratic Services by 12 noon on Monday 12 December 2022).
Additional documents: Minutes: Tim Hall (Leatherhead and Fetcham East) made a statement on the Tree Giveaway at the Leatherhead Library. He thanked several people involved including the librarians, the library service, the Fetcham Tree Wardens and the team in the Environment, Transport and Infrastructure directorate. It was a successful community event with 150 trees given away to residents. He commended the giveaway to others.
Mark Sugden(Hinchley Wood, Claygate and Oxshott)made a statement noting that on 27 November 2022 the iron lantern connected to street lighting on Claygate Green had fallen off the monument exposing live electric cables. He thanked the Council’s emergency lighting team who had someone on site within twenty minutes to make the lantern safe. He also thanked the manager of the Hare and Hounds pub who stored the lantern safely so that it could be then collected and repaired by Elmbridge Borough Council.
Fiona Davidson(Guildford South-East)made a statement querying what the Council meant by resident engagement, which on the one hand was so important that the Council committed to over £500,000 a year for CLOs and on the other hand it was not important when it came to the London Road, Burpham - Active Travel Scheme in Guildford phase one; which she was not consulted on. The closure of the northbound section of the A3100 for five months would lead to gridlock, economic damage and it would increase pollution. Residents were angry with the scheme; the only consultation process was a general market research study in 2020 involving less than 200 people - one third did not live or work in Guildford - and the questions were not specific.

ORIGINAL MOTIONS
Item 11 (i)
Robert Evans (Stanwell and Stanwell Moor) to move under standing order 11 as follows: This Council notes that:
The Council further notes that:
This Council believes that:
This Council resolves to call upon the Cabinet to: I. Look at every possible way in which the Council can do more to assist children in need and to extend the provision of free school meals.
II. Write to the Chancellor the Exchequer, Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt MP, Surrey’s ten other MPs and the Secretary of State for Education Rt Hon Gillian Keegan MP, seeking their support for this aim. Additional documents: Minutes: Item 11 (i)
Under Standing Order 12.3 the Council agreed to debate this motion.
Under Standing Order 12.1 Robert Evans moved: This Council notes that: · The number of pupils entitled to free school meals in Surrey is rising steadily and that more families than ever are becoming reliant on food banks.
· The cost-of-living crisis will lead to a general deepening of health inequalities among children and ‘being hungry’ in the school day will have a detrimental impact on their education.
· Research by the Child Poverty Action Group has shown that the cohort most vulnerable to food poverty is families who are on very low incomes, but who do not qualify for free school meals because their annual household earnings (excluding benefits) exceed £7,400.
· The Government previously rejected the recommendation of its own independently commissioned National Food Strategy, published in 2021 that it should increase the threshold for free school meals up to £20,000, this being the minimum income required for people to afford to feed a family.
· The Government’s Food Strategy (June 2022) states it “will continue to keep free school meal eligibility under review, to ensure that these meals are supporting those who most need them.”
The Council further notes that:
· The Council has used £2.27m of its Household Support Grant to continue providing food vouchers to eligible children over October, December and February school holidays, as well as other measures to help the most vulnerable families.
This Council believes that:
· Free school meals should be a basic right for all children who need them and therefore supports the expansion of free school meals provision to every child whose family is in receipt of Universal Credit or equivalent, or with a low-income.
· Provision be made for food vouchers to cover school holidays for all families in receipt of Universal Credit or with low-income.
This Council resolves to call upon the Cabinet to:
I. Look at every possible way in which the Council can do more to assist children in need and to extend the provision of free school meals.
II. Write to the Chancellor the Exchequer, Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt MP, Surrey’s ten other MPs and the Secretary of State for Education Rt Hon Gillian Keegan MP, seeking their support for this aim.
Robert Evans made the following points:
· Stressed that it was a timely and important motion at the stage in the year which often highlighted the differences in our unequal society. · Noted that the motion recognised that many children and families in Surrey were seriously affected by the current cost of living crisis, the price of some essential food products had doubled and consequently, more children were now claiming free school meals in Surrey, one of the country's wealthiest counties. · Explained that each of the four different devolved nations of the UK had the responsibility for their own free school meals policies, meaning that there were anomalies about geographic location and entitlement. · Noted the example of Northern Ireland where any child of a family on household ... view the full minutes text for item 85/22 |

SELECT COMMITTEES' REPORT TO COUNCIL
For Members to note the headline activity of the Council’s overview and scrutiny function in the period September to November 2022 asking questions of Scrutiny Chairs as necessary.
Additional documents: Minutes: The Chairman of the Select Committee Chairs and Vice-Chairs’ Group introduced the report and noted that scrutiny within the Council had come a long way. He noted that the select committees were working cross-party to hold the Cabinet to account and to question officers; the robust committee system was a tribute to the select committee chairmen, Task Group Leads, Members and officers. He noted that scrutiny was on a journey of improvement and highlighted three things to continue to improve on: firstly, earlier scrutiny on the budget however inflation and the uncertainty in Government had not helped the budget setting process; secondly, more recommendations from the select committees were needed, particularly targeted recommendations and that varied between the select committees and support was being provided; lastly, more public engagement in the select committees was needed, there was something remote about the building and the select committees that needed to be overcome.
A Member noted feedback from other Members of the Children, Families, Lifelong Learning and Culture (CFLLC) Select Committee who visited a quadrant speaking to the social workers in that area, that there was one social worker team missing out of the four teams which was a deep concern and was something the CFLLC Select Committee would investigate. Referring back to his previous comment to the Leader about the CLOs costing between £500,000 to £750,000, he noted that the money could be better spent on that missing team for example.
RESOLVED:
1. That Council reviewed the work summarised in this report providing feedback to Scrutiny Chairs as appropriate. 2. That the Select Committees would report to Council three times again next calendar year.

SURREY COUNTY COUNCIL - ELECTORAL REVIEW COUNCIL SIZE SUBMISSION
To approve Surrey County Council’s (SCC) submission regarding future council size, as part of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s (LGBCE) electoral review process.
Additional documents: Minutes: The Leader introduced the report and reminded Members that the Council was required to have a review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE), since its last in 2010. He noted that since 2010 there had been a small increase in the overall population of the county and that would be considered. He noted that the submission needed to be sent to the LGBCE shortly and that needed to indicate whether the current number of 81 Members should increase, decrease or be maintained; and the second phase would look at the detailed implications of that in terms of the boundaries of the existing divisions. He thanked the chair and Members of the cross-party Member Task Group - SCC Electoral Review.
Three Members made the following comments:
· The Chair of the cross-party Member Task Group - SCC Electoral Review explained that the proposals set out in the report were unanimously adopted by the Task Group and a lot of work from officers had gone into the report. · The Chair of the cross-party Member Task Group - SCC Electoral Review noted that the recommendation was that the Council size remains at 81 Members; in the next phase it was possible that it could increase or decrease by one or two as had happened at the last review. · The Chair of the cross-party Member Task Group - SCC Electoral Review noted that there would be a Member seminar in January on the Electoral Review, he commended Members to attend that as in early March phase two would be underway looking at the detail of each of the suggested divisional boundaries, Members would be invited to attend a workshop. · Queried why population size was used as a measure as opposed to the electorate size as the relationship between population and electorate varied depending on the demographic pattern of counties. · Thought that the geographic pattern or relative geographic size of counties might be relevant when determining a sensible size of divisions, for example Surrey had a large amount of woodland. · Noted that Members served all their residents in their division and not only the electorate, and therefore population size was the correct measure.
The Chair noted that the queries raised could be addressed at the Member seminar and workshops.
RESOLVED:
That the Council approved the Electoral Review Council Size Submission, ahead of it being sent to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE).

To provide feedback from the Resources and Performance Select Committee on the Council motion titled ‘procurement policy, tax avoidance and the fair tax mark’ as requested by the Council.
Additional documents: Minutes: The Chairman of the Resources and Performance Select Committee introduced the report noting that the original motion had been tabled at July’s Council meeting by Jonathan Essex and was referred to the Resources and Performance Select Committee for consideration due to its technical and complex nature. He thanked the motion’s proposer for his invaluable input and the select committee’s Task Group Lead; and he thanked the Head of Policy and Improvement for her work in compiling the report and recommendations.
The motion’s proposer thanked the Chairman of the Resources and Performance Select Committee and the expertise provided by the officers in reviewing the original motion and identifying best practice and looking at how the Council could strengthen its existing position in that area. He looked forward to the Council being recognised as a Fair Tax council.
RESOLVED:
1. Alternative wording to be agreed with the Fair Tax Foundation regarding the following items: a. Undertake due diligence to ensure that not-for-profit structures are not being used inappropriately by suppliers to reduce the payment of tax and business rates. b. Demand clarity on the ultimate beneficial ownership of suppliers and their consolidated profit & loss position. 2. The following item be removed: a. Include tax conduct in social value scoring for assessing contracts.

APPOINTMENT OF AN INDEPENDENT REMUNERATION PANEL
To agree the arrangements for the appointment of an Independent Remuneration Panel (IRP) to review the existing Members’ Allowances Scheme prior to 2024.
Additional documents: Minutes: The Leader introduced the report and noted that there was a requirement to have an Independent Remuneration Panel (IRP), two of the current Members did not wish to continue for a further term so there was a requirement to advertise for replacements.
RESOLVED:
1. Approved the proposed timetable for the appointment of an IRP and the completion of its subsequent review of Allowances Scheme as set out in paragraph 4. 2. Approved an Appointments Panel consisting of the membership set out in paragraph 5.

AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION
It is the Council’s responsibility to approve changes to the Council’s Constitution.
This report sets out proposed changes to Part 4 of the Constitution – Standing Orders, and the Officer Code of Conduct, one of the Codes and Protocols included in Part 6 of the Constitution and these are brought to Council for formal approval in accordance with Articles 4.09, 5.02 and 11.02 of the Council’s Constitution.
Additional documents: Minutes: The Leader introduced the report and noted that there were two suggested amendments to the Constitution. The first amendment to Standing Orders related to the transfer of Public Rights of Way (PRoW) applications, endorsed by the Planning and Regulatory Committee. The second amendment was a revised Officer Code of Conduct which updated the previous 2017 edition and it had been through several parts of the Council for consideration including the People, Performance and Development Committee in November; he thanked Eber Kington for his input.
A Member raised concerns regarding the advice on recorded voting provided in the Chair’s housekeeping note sent to Members prior to this Council meeting; these were noted and the Chair suggested that these be considered by the Member Development Steering Group.

REPORT OF THE CABINET
To receive the report of the meetings of the Cabinet held on 25 October 2022 and 29 November 2022.
Additional documents: Minutes: The Leader presented the report of the Cabinet meetings held on 25 October 2022 and 29 November 2022.
Recommendations on Policy Framework Documents:
A. Coordinated Admissions Scheme for September 2024(as set out in the Cabinet paper from 29 November 2022)
A Member asked the Cabinet Member for Education and Learning whether she planned to take a more proactive approach next year so that the coordinated school admissions process could play its part in addressing climate change. She could do so by working with local schools to move to more children attending their local school, and that being higher in the admissions criteria in all areas of Surrey as part of tackling climate change, reducing the carbon footprint of travel associated with school travel, and increasing opportunities for active travel and public transport.
In response, the Cabinet Member explained that school admissions were regulated by admissions legislation including the Department for Education’s School Admissions Code; that set out how local authorities must determine admissions criteria and the process by which school places must be offered. Whereas the item under consideration was the procedures manual for the way in which individual school admissions criteria were coordinated, and admissions applications were then judged and allocated. The Member’s question was around changing school admissions criteria, however out of approximately 400 maintained schools the Council was the admissions authority for only 85 schools across the county. Other types of school were their own admissions authorities and so determine their admissions criteria. A judgement by the Schools Adjudicator earlier in the year meant that the criterion of nearest school had been removed as an admissible admissions criterion and the Council was adhering to that. She noted that the admissions legislation was founded on the premise of parental preference; the Council could not influence that. She concluded that whilst the Council could not do what the Member was suggesting, the Council published guidance for school admissions on its website; and she encouraged Members to attend the quadrant Member development seminars.
RESOLVED:
Approved the coordinated admissions scheme that will apply to all schools for 2024.
