  The questions are as follows:

   

  1.     Can the Mayor / Council confirm whether they understand the causal factors behind the Brick by Brick / Fairfield Halls issues and if so what controls have been put in place to prevent this from happening again?
  
  

  2.     Instead of ordering residents to pay unaffordable council tax now, why have you not yet announced any plans to recoup monies paid by Croydon council, to former members and officers, as detailed in your recent election communications?

  Council Debate Motions

  

  To debate any motions submitted in accordance with Council Procedure Rules.

   

  The following two Motions, one from the Administration and one from the Leader of the Opposition, will be debated:

   

  Conservative Group Motion

   

  'This Council notes the decision of the Appointments and Disciplinaries Committee on 23rd March 2023.

   

  Those who caused Croydon Councils financial downfall must be held to account. It is vital that all avenues are pursued to ensure that residents anger and desire for accountability are recognised.’

   

  Labour Group Motion

   

  This council recognises the progress that has been made since November 2020 in addressing the council’s financial and governance problems.

   

  This council further notes that these improvements were acknowledged by – amongst others – a Non Statutory Rapid Review and the Improvement & Assurance Panel, with the latter acknowledging the “creditable progress that had been made” during the period of the last Labour administration.

   

  This council is disappointed to note the recent announcement by the Secretary of State at DHLUC that he is minded to intervene in the governance of Croydon following his conclusion that the council under the leadership of Mayor Perry is not meeting its Best Value Duty.

   

  This council recognises that all councillors have a role to play in ensuring that the council once again meets its Best Value Duty.

   

  This council therefore calls on the Mayor to set out how he intends to work more collaboratively with councillors from all political parties represented on the council to ensure the authority continues at greater pace, its improvement journey.
