PETITIONS The Monitoring Officer to report on the receipt of any Petitions submitted in accordance with the Council’s procedures.
A Petition has been received in the following terms:
“To stop discharges of odious fumes from Colour Dyers UK Ltd We, the undersigned, are very concerned about the discharge of odious fumes from the factory operated by Colour Dyers (UK) Ltd at Riverside Dyeworks, Greenhithe Road, Leicester LE2 7PU. As a neighbourhood, we are frequently forced to stay indoors and close our windows, as smelly blue fumes are often blown from the factory chimney down to street level. We ask that the Leicester Health & Wellbeing Scrutiny Commission requires the Council’s Noise and Pollution Department to:
All we ask is to be able to enjoy our houses and gardens and safely walk the streets of our neighbourhood.”
The validated number of signatures to the petition will be confirmed at the meeting.

QUESTIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, STATEMENTS OF CASE The Monitoring Officer to report on the receipt of any questions, representations and statements of case submitted in accordance with the Council’s procedures.
The following Questions have been received:
A. From Raimondo Barraco
The chimney's on the Colour Dyers' factory on Greenhithe Road are pumping out a stench into the air, in the streets near where I live which maybe a hazard to public health.
Will the Health & Wellbeing Scrutiny Commission ask for a health impact assessment on the air quality to be carried out by Public Health Leicester City Council and if necessary, with support of Public Health England?
B. From Brenda Worrall
How does the Place Led Plan reflect the ambition, set out in Building Better Hospitals for the Future, that as much care as possible will be transferred out of hospital and added to the work of agencies and providers in the community?
C. From Peter Worrall
With regard to the Integrated Care Systems, what is the legal basis for data sharing and how are you collecting patient consent?
D. From Jennifer Foxton
Can Healthwatch Leicester and Leicestershire confirm that it will not be a co-signatory of the final Place Led Plan and will remain independent of it in order to better collect and reflect public views?
E. From Jean Burbridge
1. The Developing Place Led Plan states that there will be wide stakeholder engagement on the initial plan – how is this taking place, who or what organisations are involved and when and how are the public being engaged. Will it involve engagement with the local NHS Citizens’ Panel?
2. Where is the connection between the Integrated Care System priorities (as set out to the Health and Wellbeing Board in July 2021) and the needs of local people? Where is the implementation of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment and is this up to date?”
F. From Sally Ruane
1. In the Integrated Care system, why do patients get only access to ‘simple’ treatment and preventive or digital services? Why is there no reference to patients accessing the health services which meet their needs?
2. What does “[The] aim is to create an offer to the local population of each place, to ensure that in that place everyone is able to: expect the NHS, through its employment, training, procurement and volunteering activities, and as a major estate owner to play a full part in social and economic development and environmental sustainability” mean? (p6 of Developing a Leicester City Place Led Plan, presented at the Health and Wellbeing Board 29 July 2021)
