A
B
Good
evening,
everyone
on
Monday
I
returned
from
a
week's
holiday
only
to
go
straight
off
to
some
National
Committee
work
for
two
days.
So
it's
only
this
morning
that
I
returned
to
my
email
inbox
after
10
days,
you'll
know
the
feeling
of
trepidation
and
disappointment.
When
you
see
how
much
is
in
there.
B
B
My
mood
did
not
lift,
but
then
I
was
drawn
to
a
section
on
the
history
of
this
particular
charity,
which
has
some
links
historically
with
the
Methodist
Church,
whom
I
serve
in
1869
Thomas,
a
young
Methodist
minister
discovered
two
boys
under
the
bridge
at
Waterloo
in
London,
and
he
found
them
somewhere
safe
to
live
and
some
adults
who
would
care
for
them
for
their
future.
Those
boys
were
named
Fred
and
George,
and
remarkably,
there
is
a
photograph
of
Fred
and
George
as
young
boys,
and
so
that
I
could
see
what
they
look
like.
B
B
B
Will
you
forgive
me
for
a
moment
if
I
share
with
you
the
words
of
a
children's
song
when
I
sometimes
use
in
church
or
school
assemblies-
and
it's
called
the
wonder
of
these
days,
written
by
a
group
called
fishing
music
based
in
Edinburgh
I'll
spare
you
the
singing
but
I'll,
read
you
the
words
of
the
chorus
all
the
miracles
around
us.
In
fact,
I'll
do
the
actions
and
I'll
have
to
share.
B
B
Such
a
mystery
is
this
world
all
its
mountains
and
its
creatures
from
the
eagle
to
the
sparrow.
This
great
world
has
much
to
teach
us
on
that
day
when
love
is
first
and
the
world
is
done
with
hating,
as
we
gather
on
the
mounting,
where
our
hopes
and
dreams
are
waiting.
Oh
the
wonder
of
these
days,
all
the
miracles
around
us
all
the
secrets
that
surround
us.
There
is
glory
to
astound
us.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
very
good.
Okay.
We
are
not
expecting
a
fire
alarm
to
go
off
if
it
does
please
exit
at
the
back
or
the
front
of
the
council
chamber
or
the
rear
of
the
public
gallery
and
follow
the
exit
signs
for
wheelchair
users
and
those
of
mobility
issues.
Please
make
your
way
to
the
safe
waiting
area
on
the
p's
hillside.
Stairwell
council
officers
will
be
on
hand
to
assess
an
accessible
unisex
tool.
It
is
located
outside
the
council
chamber.
A
Opposite
the
members
room,
a
drinks,
machine
and
water
dispenser
are
located
in
the
corridor
opposite
committee
room
1,
the
council
is
live
streaming
and
recording
this
meeting
and
a
copy
will
be
available
to
view
in
the
coming
days.
Can
councilors
speak
into
their
microphones
so
that
everyone
can
hear
their
contributions,
but
there
are
made
and
can
I
ask
all
counselors
to
be
concise
with
their
contributions
and
to
show
respect
to
their
fellow
members.
A
B
C
A
A
I
was
just
gonna
say
that
okay,
yeah,
okay
and
I
did
have
apologies
from
councillor
Martin,
our
who's
going
to
be
late,
but
you're
here.
So
that's,
okay,
okay,
I've
had
a
busy
and
most
enjoyable
start
to
my
mayoral
year,
I'd
like
to
highlight
several
particular
enjoyable
events,
which
I
was
honored
to
be
invited
to
the
Opera
Carnivale
the
chest
and
festival,
the
Dragon
Boat
Festival,
the
Abbey
people
lunch
and
also
last
night.
I
was
with
the
brownie
so
that
that
was
real
fun.
A
A
D
D
So
we
just
certainly
like
to
thank
you
and
for
your
leadership
for
your
principals
and
for
the
care
that
you
show
for
people,
particularly
our
staff,
but
also
for
the
many
residents
that
contact
you
that
in
the
process
of
your
work,
you
have
both
made
major
changes
to
ensure
that
this
council
better
meets
the
needs
of
the
city.
But
particularly,
you
have
opened
up
partnerships
and
just
the
opportunity
of
delivering
things
for
Cambridge
by
working
with
others.
And
so
we
just
like
to
say
thank
you
and
looking
forward.
D
E
Thank
You
mayor
I
too,
would
like
to
congratulate
Antoinette
ten
years
at
the
top
of
of
any
organization.
These
days
demonstrates
two
important
things:
one
that
the
person
concerned
must
be
doing
a
good
deal,
that's
right
and
the
second
that
the
person
concerned
must
be
enjoying
it
and
I'm
not
going
to
pause
very
long
on
the
council
evening,
where
which
I
know
he's
down
to
an
x:real
favorite
evening
of
the
year,
I
confirm
or
otherwise.
E
E
That
happens
and
happens
in
a
very
healthy
way,
as
Lewis
has
said,
until
next
10
years
as
chief
executive.
We
didn't
exactly
say
this
occurs
at
the
key
moment,
because
she's
such
shown
remarkable
even-handedness
in
serving
precisely
five
years,
supporting
a
Liberal,
Democrat
majority
administration
and
five
years
supporting
a
Labour
majority
administration
and
I'm
sure
that
all
members
will
be
as
keen
as
I
am
13
antoinette
own
interests.
Quite
apart
from
the
other
factors
that
we
all
assist
in
maintaining
that
balance
next
year.
Thank
you.
A
A
Okay,
declarations
of
interest
I
would
like
to
ask
members
to
declare
they
have
any
interest
in
the
items
on
the
agenda
before
us
this
evening.
Members
are
reminded
that
they
can
declare
interests
at
any
time
during
the
meeting
or
anything
occurs
to
them
during
the
debate
tonight.
Is
there
any
declarations,
council,
contra.
A
A
Lovely
thank
you
very
much.
We
now
go
on
to
agenda
item
three
I
understand
that
I
have
no
I
II,
then
open
it
and
Dave
foxy,
correct
lovely,
who
wish
to
address
the
meeting
under
the
scheme
allowing
members
of
the
public
to
speak
at
council
meetings.
Each
speaker
must
address
their
comments
to
the
chair
of
the
relevant
committee
or
the
relevant
member
of
the
exec.
A
Each
question
or
statement
must
be
limited
to
three
minutes
with
a
further
two
minutes
for
a
supplementary
question
or
a
comment
on
something
that
has
been
said.
Regarding
speaking
contributions.
Just
to
remind
members
of
the
public,
I
will
ring
the
bow
when
you
have
half
a
minute
left
and
will
ring
it
again
when
your
time
is.
There
is
normally
an
overall
time
limit
for
public
questions
of
30
minutes,
including
the
time
taken
by
responses
of
questions,
but
this
can
be
extended
by
my
desk
discretion
with
Naomi
Bennett.
Please
come
forward
and
ask
her
question.
J
Good
evening,
can
everybody
hear
me
good.
Our
Green
Party
resident
survey
of
Abbey
Ward
shows
over
98%
of
residents
are
opposed
to
the
proposed
easy
hotel
on
New
Market
Road.
There
are
already
two
budget,
hotels
opposite
the
site,
and
we
understand
that
Anglian
house
is
not
capacity
and
that
rooms
are
likely
to
appear
on
Airbnb
shortly.
J
When
is
this
too
many
hotels,
I
understand
the
council
plan.
There
is
only
a
shortage
of
rooms
in
the
super
Lux
category
and
certainly
no
shortage
in
the
budget.
Capacity
residents
refer
a
mix
game
with
ground-level
cafes
and
shops
and
new
homes.
Both
councillor
Cantrell
pointed
out
at
the
last
meeting
that
there
are
2500
households
in
Cambridge
on
the
housing
register
waiting
through
social
housing.
Why
can't
we
build
flats
on
this
brownfield
site
rather
understand
Tobin's
greenspace
snobbery?
J
K
However,
I
should
point
out
as
a
abbey
councillor
myself,
councillor,
Davies
and
Masey
have
Ward
three
residents
against
the
easy
hotel
application
and
were
pleased
that
the
Planning
Committee
it
might
were
reminded
to
refuse
that
application
most
recently
now
here
comes
the
policy
question
answer
to
rather
the
councillors
local
planning
authority
in
this
matter
is
to
consider
the
planning
application
submitted
to
it.
The
planning
committees
role
is
to
determine
if
the
commitment,
if
the
application
for
the
hotel
is
in
compliance
with
the
development
plan,
having
regarded
to
other
material
planning
considerations.
K
If
the
committee
determines
that
the
hotel
would
result
in
the
unacceptable
level
of
harm
having
again
regards
to
the
development
plan
and
other
material
planning
considerations,
it
should
refuse
to
playing
application
and
give
clear
planning
reasons
for
doing
so
as
part
of
its
consideration.
However,
the
committee
should
not
take
into
account
what
it
might
prefer
to
see
on
the
site.
Ie
any
alternative.
The
type
of
development,
including
affordable
housing,
to
do
so
would
go
beyond
an
assessment
of
the
merits
of
the
proposal
itself.
K
In
any
reason
for
refusal
basis
would
be
invalid
and
could
not
be
sustained
at
appeal
in
terms
of
council
housing.
The
council
is
committed
to
developing
500
new
council
rented
homes
in
the
city.
It
is
primarily
focused
on
opportunities
will
be
development
of
its
own
sites
for
the
purposes
or
for
the
purpose
of
sites
where
appropriate.
On
the
open
market,
our
bring
King's
hedges
are
known
as
areas
of
high
need
for
housing.
K
J
L
We
all
know
that
we
must
reduce
pollution
in
our
city
center
and
we
must
move
quickly
to
a
low-carbon
transport
system,
with
more
and
better
public
transport,
replacing
the
stranglehold
of
congestion
from
extinction.
Rebellion
showed
on
the
6th
of
July
car
free
streets
in
Cambridge,
bring
cleaner
air
and
welcomed
safe
space
to
pedestrians
and
cyclists.
An
official
car
free
day
would
show
many
more
people
how
lovely
our
city
center
streets
could
be
over.
A
thousand
cities
now
have
a
regular
event
of
this
sort.
So
why
not
Cambridge?
Does
this
council
back?
L
M
Thank
you,
yes,
I
agree
wholeheartedly:
I
I
personally
support
an
organized
Car,
Free
Day
I've
been
trying
to
get
the
County
Council
to
agree
to
one
there's
also
been
a
separate
organization
or
a
group
got
together.
They
also
tried
to
organize
one,
but
the
County
Council
are
the
Highways
Authority.
They
are
the
ones
that
need
to
agree
to
close
the
roads
and,
unfortunately,
up
till
now
they
have
not
agreed
to
do
that.
You
ask:
does
this
council
support
a
car-free
day?
I
can't
quite
say.
M
M
M
So,
what's
going
to
say
we're
the
majority
group,
so
you
can
infer,
but
obviously
they
also
support
one.
So
they
do
you've
got
your
answer.
We
like
Hall
on
cams
County
to
stop
obstructing
I,
have
been
doing
that
for
a
couple
of
years.
Since
the
extinction
rebellion,
road
closures,
I
have
emailed
the
chair
of
highways.
His
reply
was
not
exactly
brimming
with
support,
however.
M
He
did
agree
that
he
would
take
it
to
his
group
and
agreed
to
my
suggestion
that
he
and
I
could
meet
to
discuss
it
again,
just
to
say
obviously
at
the
city
council,
we
measure
air
quality.
So
during
the
hours
that
extinction
rebellion
closed
the
roads,
nitrogen
dioxide
levels
were
cut
by
65
percent
in
the
morning,
so
before
Regent
Street
was
closed
to
traffic
and
then
by
85
percent
in
the
afternoon,
when
the
measures
were
in
full
swing,
so
air
pollution
does
fluctuate
depending
on
what's
on
in
the
city
and
also
due
to
the
weather.
M
There
were
some
issues
around
the
protests
a
couple
of
the
businesses,
namely
the
hotels
they
staff
struggled
to
get
to
work,
but
other
than
that
the
Fitzwilliam
had
a
good
day.
Footfall
was
up
in
the
ground
arcade
which
extinct
sir
rebellion
might
not
see
quite
as
a
positive,
but
obviously
getting
businesses
on
board
to
agree
to
it.
I
also
think
that
people
might
have
been
put
off
coming
to
the
city
by
it
being
called
a
protest,
whereas
if
we
had
an
organized
car-free
day,
we
could
have
more
things
in
the
street
stalls
and
events.
M
Quite
a
long
technical
answer,
the
City
Council's
Environmental
Quality
and
growth
team
do
periodically
produce
detailed,
mapped,
contour
plots
of
pollutants
of
concern,
nitrogen
dioxide
and
PM
10
particulate
matter.
However,
such
mapping
is
not
a
simple
process
and
requires
some
months
of
work
to
produce
usually
they're
produced
to
support
reporting
to
central
government
every
three
years
or
as
part
of
supporting
evidence
for
a
major
policy
initiative.
M
Modeling
is
usually
carried
out
for
a
full
year
in
arrears
and
the
most
recent
baseline
maps
were
produced
for
the
year
2017
in
support
of
feasibility
work
for
a
clean
air
zone.
A
further
baseline
modeling
exercise
for
2018
will
be
completed
this
summer,
for
which
mapping
of
pollution
contours
will
be
available
later
in
the
year.
It
is,
unfortunately,
not
practical
to
provide
detailed
mapping
of
pollution
contours
on
a
frequency
compatible
with
the
request
due
to
the
time
involved
and
the
cost
of
carrying
out
the
work
alongside
periodic
modeling
exercises.
M
M
The
Environmental
Quality
and
growth
team
are
currently
carrying
out
a
trial
of
smaller
deployable
air
quality
monitoring
units
as
part
of
a
study
of
the
closure
of
Mill
Road
railway
bridge.
If
the
trial
is
successful
and
the
data
collected
reasonably
accurate,
it
may
be
possible
to
redeploy
some
units
at
key
locations
like
schools
to
give
live
information
on
air
quality
through
a
web
portal.
M
If
future
resources
support
this
in
terms
of
making
travel
decisions,
whilst
absolute
pollutant
concentrations
vary
considerably
from
day
to
day
due
to
weather
conditions
and
traffic
flows,
the
areas
which
suffer
the
poorest
air
quality
are
reasonably
identified
by
the
periodic
mapping.
Modelling
work
carried
out
generally
speaking
to
minimize
exposure
when
walking
or
cycling
residents
should
aim
to
avoid
the
most
heavily
trafficked
roads,
in
particular
junctions
on
the
inner
ring
road,
the
bus
station
area
and
junctions
on
the
main
feeder
road.
M
Air
quality
is
generally
below
national
health
based
objectives
across
the
majority
of
the
city
and
is
good
compared
to
many
larger
cities.
The
latest
annual
status
report
also
available
on
our
website
shows
compliance
with
these
standards
at
all
of
our
monitoring
sites
in
2018.
For
the
first
time
since
monitoring
began
in
the
city.
However,
it
is
important
that
we
continue
to
work
to
reduce
levels
further,
to
keep
pace
with
growth
of
the
city
and
continue
to
improve
health
outcomes.
A
K
This
okay,
what
need
1
minute?
This
item
is
requesting.
That's
a
council
approved
the
carry
forward
request
for
capital
expenditure
as
part
of
the
housing
investment
plan,
information
relating
to
how
the
award
was
arrived.
That
can
be
found
in
appendix
D
of
the
report
which
went
to
house
and
SUNY
committee
published
here
and
the
notes
which
our
company
it.
F
You,
madam
mayor,
but
I,
met
the.
In
my
view.
The
value
we
place
on
our
council
tenants
is
most
explicitly
expressed
in
how
we
maintain
the
properties
they
live
in
their
homes,
and
it's
for
this
reason
that
the
HRA
out
turn
is
deeply
worrying.
In
relation
to
the
amount
of
money
we
spend
on
repair
and
maintenance
of
our
council
housing
stock
and,
as
some
members
are
aware,
I've
raised
this
issue
before
in
this
chamber
regarding
the
HRA
and
the
out
turn
and
the
numbers
speak
for
themselves,
so
even
taking
this
years
out
turn
into
account.
F
What
we
have
seen
is
that,
over
the
last
four
years,
there's
a
cumulative
underspend.
That's
a
cumulative
under
spend
even
taking
carry
forwards
into
a
account
of
over
half
a
million
in
the
housing
revenue
account
for
repairs
and
maintenance.
That's
half
a
million,
that's
half
a
million
not
spent
on
fixing
people,
half
a
million
not
spent
on
fixing
people's
doors,
people's
windows
and
other
repairs.
That
may
seem
small
to
some
people
in
this
chamber,
but
actually
make
a
material
difference
to
the
way
in
which
our
tenants
live
on
the
quality
of
their
life.
F
The
fact
that,
in
order
to
get
a
grip
on
this
issue,
the
executive
counselor
for
housing
is
being
forced
to
undertake
a
review
of
the
repairs
and
maintenance
service
illustrates.
Madam
mayor
illustrates
how
it's
completely
out
of
control,
it's
out
of
control,
this
vital
service
that
we
provide
to
residents
now.
F
Madam
mayor,
as
I
said
at
the
start
of
my
speech,
the
value
we
place
on
our
council
tenants
is
reflected
by
the
way
we
look
after
their
homes.
Evidence
would
suggest,
madam
mayor,
that
the
ruling
group
fall
well
short
of
the
value
that
we
should
be
placing
on
our
council
tenants
and
they
need
to
pull
their
socks
up
and
pull
their
socks
up
soon.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
A
Can't
sleep
or
you've
got
three
minutes.
Okay,
thank.
N
You,
madam
it
I
just
wanted
to
ask
the
executive
councilor
and
whether
all
the
things
I
noticed
is.
We've
got
quite
a
lot
of
underspend
because
we've
got
staffing
vacancies
and
we've
also
obviously
then
got
the
overspends
when
we've
had
to
bring
contractors
in
and
subcontractors
to
cover
the
work
and
I
notice.
It's
in
various
appendices
for
this
item
so
on
page
18,
19
20,
but
also
does
kind
of
pop
up
later.
N
Some
of
the
other
appendices
with
other
accounts
and
obviously
I
appreciate
that
when
office
we
know
we
have
vacancies,
people
are
promoted,
which
is
great.
Sometimes
people
run
well,
but
at
the
moment
there
does
seem
to
be
this
extra
cost.
Where
we're
back
filling
posts
with
contractors
and
I
know.
We
all
agree
that
the
offices
at
Cambridge,
City
Council,
are
highly
skilled
and
very
valued
by
all
of
us,
I'm
sure
and
they're.
Like
any
good
organization.
We
value
the
institutional
memory
in
the
skills
of
our
staff,
and
so
I
wondered
if
the
executive
counts.
N
That
could
confirm
whether
he's
what
he's
trying
to
do,
how
to
improve
the
recruitment
and
the
retention,
so
that
cost
can
be
more
stable
over
time
and
personally,
I'd
love
to
encourage
things
like
flexible
working
things
like
job
sharing
part-time
posts
that
maybe
would
allow
sort
of
more
diverse,
a
diversity
of
applicants
from
within
and
outside
the
cambridge
city
to
join
the
staff
thanks.
Madam
there.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
O
O
So
maybe
one
way
we
could
get
rid
of
this
deficit
is
to
pay
contractors
when
they
don't
do
things
as
well,
and
when
we
talk
about
Luca
after
our
residents
who
we
value
so
daily
I'd
like
to
remind
the
opposition,
they
were
the
party,
it
were
victims,
pensioners
from
the
bungalows
Ruben
in
there
for
20
in
30
years,
without
any
consultation.
So
what
we're
talking
about
looking
after
residents
think
about
what
you're
saying?
Okay,.
P
Just
also
like
to
add
another
example:
we
have
God's
empathy
in
Queen
Edie's.
She
has
a
disabled
child
lives
in
a
castle
house
and
I
have
and
her
dog
cannot
open
or
when
it's
closed.
She
cannot
take
a
child
out
which
is
disabled.
I
have
asked
in
April
for
the
door
to
be
repaired
and
nothing
has
happened.
Are
we
penny
wise
pound
straight?
These
people
need
us.
Please.
K
It's
amazing,
isn't
it.
You
know.
I
was
at
housing
suit
in
the
committee
and
there
was
absolutely
no
no
didn't
hear
a
squeak
didn't
hear
a
peep
from
the
Lib
Dems
on
this.
It
just
so
happens
that
in
this
arena,
or
the
rhetoric
comes
out
spewing
out
absolutely
okay,
okay,
thank
you!
I,
don't
know,
I
do
not
reckon
we
have.
K
It
is
clear
that
you
know
there
are
some
issues
and
it
is
clear
that
there
are
some
issues
in
respect
of
assets
and
make
in
terms
of
our
estates
and
maintenance,
and
that's
why
there
was
a
review.
That's
going
to
be
undertaken,
but
I
do
not
recognize
the
I.
Don't
recognize
this
vision
that
has
been
presented
by
councillor
Cantrell
of
a
service
which
is
basically
due
to
its
being
unfit
for
purpose.
K
We
are
looking
at
several
aspects
of
our
of
our
estates
and
management
estates
management
to
try
and
ensure
that
we
can
deliver
the
best
services
for
attendance.
I
think
what
we
Don
that.
So
that's
what
I'm
gonna
say
on
that
matter
in
respective
contractors.
That
is
a
again
part
of
the
review
that
will
be
taking
place
and
the
counselor
purpose,
if
you
wish
to
you,
can
email
me
and
if
you
have
a
respect
of
the
specific
issue
that
your
constituent
has
encountered.
Thank
you.
A
A
K
Madam
ed,
this
item
is
coming
before
council
following
it's
also
being
tabled,
discussed
and
voted.
The
most
recent
housing
scrutiny
committee
do
to
attain
change
in
the
budget
allocator
for
this
project,
as
previously
specified
in
the
MHRA
BSR
earlier
this
year,
when
the
budget
setting
report
was
being
put
together
late
last
year,
and
only
this
year,
officers
arrived
at
a
figure
which
was
based
on
early
work,
completed
on
the
project.
K
Since
then,
further
work
has
taken
place
as
a
consequence
of
additional
design
considerations,
including
abiding
by
regulatory
requirements
for
lifts,
and
also
to
ensure
that
we
can
maximize
the
number
of
new
homes
to
live
at
within
the
site
footprint
available.
With
respect
to
the
project
itself,
the
camp
Keene
Road
scheme
would
deliver
75
new
homes
up
from
the
previous
figure
of
73
a
net
gain
of
50
homes
on
that
site,
which
is
which
is
presently
on
that
site.
K
The
existing
homes
are
in
a
poor
condition
and
our
small
residents
are
aware
of
the
proposals
to
redevelop
and
we
have
appointed
to
D
Canton,
rehousing
officer
who
will
work
specifically
and
individually
with
residents
to
find
them
a
new
home
and
they
will
be
offered
the
right
to
return
under
our
I'm
homeless
policy
in
terms
of
sustainability.
As
of
all
our
new
build
council
house
schemes
being
delivered
under
the
image,
investment
partnership
or
in-house,
it
will
meet
our
sustainable
housing
died
introduced
in
2017.
We
will
also
look
to
utilize
findings
of
the
pollard
Thomas
Edwards.
K
Architects,
commissioned
review
of
the
sustainability
scheme
standards
applied
at
burrito
in
Trumpington,
which
has
looked
at
how
well
the
sustainability
features
have
performed
in
reducing
emissions
and
save
energy
for
details
or
the
approach
to
the
design
of
the
scheme
will
be
set
out
at
the
planning
stage
and
public
consultation.
This
is
the
last
scheme
being
brought
forward
in
the
current
council
house
building
program
and
will
that
allow
us
to
meet
and
exceed
our
tankers
of
500
new
council
homes
delivered
by
2022,
with
the
current
projection
being
that
a
total
of
537
be
completed.
F
You,
madam
mayor,
so
madam
mayor
I,
am
on
public
record
on
numerous
occasions
supporting
the
construction
of
the
five
hundred
council
houses
with
a
housing
register
of
two
thousand
five
hundred
households.
As
the
public
speaker
mentioned,
those
five
hundred
houses
will
go
some
way
to
address
the
chronic
housing
crisis
that
we
face,
but
it
was
councillor
callouses,
social
media,
post
of
The
Guardian,
article
on
Norwich,
City,
Council's
housing
scheme,
a
hundred
homes
on
Goldsmith
Street.
F
That
reminded
me
that
a
local
or
as
a
local
authority,
we
can
do
much
more
than
just
deliver
five
hundred
council
homes.
We
could,
for
example,
like
Norwich,
deliver
the
housing
using
a
company
wholly
owned
by
the
council,
rather
than
putting
seventeen
and
a
half
percent
profit
in
the
pockets
of
a
commercial
property
developer.
F
But
the
scheme
on
Camp,
King
Road
illustrates
another
important
point
because,
unlike
Norwich
where
the
council
houses
were
built
on
a
total
passive
basis,
the
ruling
groups
ambition
to
date
on
Camp
King
Road,
like
the
other
sites
for
the
five
hundred
houses,
is
at
best
muted.
When
it
comes
to
sustainability
and
I.
Note
the
executive
councilor
for
housings
comment
this
evening
in
terms
of
exploring
possible
options,
but
we're
told
that
the
best
scheme
that
will
achieve
a
level
of
best
the
scheme
will
achieve
a
level
of
sustainability
somewhere
between
code.
Four
to
five.
F
The
question
I
ask
is
why
the
ruling
group
is
not
insisting
that
the
Campion
Road
scheme
is
code.
Five,
fully
passive,
embracing
full
sustainable
building
techniques
such
as
structural
timber
frame
that
reduces
the
materially
the
amount
of
embedded
carbon
in
the
construction
in
scrutiny
in
response
to
a
tenant
representative.
Its
question
on
this
officers
indicated
that
they
could
possibly
look
at
a
pilot
scheme
of
this
nature.
The
question
I
ask
is:
why
do
we
need
a
pilot
scheme?
We
don't
even
have
to
go
to
Norwich
to
look
at
a
passive
scheme.
F
We
only
need
to
look
barely
half
a
mile
away
at
marmalade
lane,
where
we
have
used
sustainable
construction
techniques
to
deliver
passive
housing
on
a
mass
housing
basis.
Building
passive
housing
schemes
on
Campton
Road
would
not
just
benefit
the
climate.
It
would
also
put
money
back
in
the
pockets
of
our
tenants
in
Norwich,
the
skin,
the
Norwich
skiing
tenants
pay
on
average
a
hundred
and
fifty
pounds
a
year
for
energy.
The
sense
I
have
is
that
the
ruling
group
talks
warm
words
when
it
comes
to
climate
change,
but
fails
to
deliver
in
a
tangible
way.
F
So,
instead
of
developing
a
scheming
Cambridge
as
in
so
instead
of
aspiring
to
develop
a
scheme
in
Cambridge
as
council,
equalities
tweet
suggests,
why
doesn't
the
executive
councilor
for
housing
actually
deliver
on
the
ruling
groups?
Words
and
give
a
commitment
in
this
chamber
this
evening
to
the
public
that
Campion
Road
will
be
an
exemplar
passive
scheme,
one
that
which
delivered
in
councillor
callouses
own
ward.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Q
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Yes,
councillor
can
truly
is
always
in
favor
of
building
the
count.
500
council
houses
until
it
comes
to
building
them
and
then
he's
very
much
a
much
opposed
to
them.
So
if
we
want
to
talk
weasel
words,
councillor
Cantrell,
we
do
that
listen
as
of
counselor
for
for
King
of
Kings
hedges
and
former
executive
council
of
housing.
When
we
took
control
of
the
City
Council,
we
put
a
stop
to
the
redevelopment
of
this.
Q
This
scheme
is
a
vast,
vast
improvement
on
anything
anything
that
was
built
by
keep
moat.
We
use
the
Cambridge
sustainability
housing
guide,
it's
a
guide
that
has
been
widely
widely
acclaimed.
I
had
leaders
and
housing.
People
from
other
councils
asked
if
they
could
use
it
because
they
felt
it
was
so
good.
I
understand
it's
not
in
councilor
Cantrell's
interests
and
to
promote
this
that
the
work
that
the
labor
council
is
doing
I
get
that,
but
every
so
often
it
will
be
helpful
if
he
was
to
support
what
were
to
support
it.
Q
N
Thank
you
yes
and
I
have
a
mind.
Well,
it's
not
a
a
minor
point,
but
it's
quite
an
important
issue.
Having
been
to
housing
scrutiny
for
the
first
time
or
six
I
mean
you
counselor
I
notice
that
we've
now
got
evidence
that
a
lot
of
our
tenants
who
are
decanted
under
the
home
loss
policy,
I,
don't
think
they're
coming
back.
So
I
was
having
a
look
at
why
that
might
be.
It's
obviously
just
seemed
a
lot
of
people
would
want
to
return
to
the
community.
N
Don't
anticipate
there
being
a
financial
loss
for
the
council
in
doing
that,
because,
obviously,
at
the
moment,
we're
paying
six
thousand
three
hundred
pound
for
every
person
who
doesn't
come
back
so
I
wondered
if
that
would
be
something
you
might
consider
to.
You
know
give
our
tenants
of
choices
to
where
they
want
to
live
when
we
do
rebuild
or
refurbish.
Thank
you,
madam
a.
O
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
I'd,
like
to
congratulate
our
executive
councilor
on
being
noomane
and
that
in
our
residents,
moved
back
to
the
properties
they
lived
in
before.
If
they
choose
to,
we
don't
force
people
to
move
back,
unlike
the
the
opposition
when
they
were
in
power,
told
the
residents
who've
been
in
the
properties
for
over
thirty
years,
I'm,
sorry
but
you're
moving
out
and
you
can't
move
back.
You
have
no
choice.
O
You
would
be
moving
out
and
not
moving
back
people
who
were
forced
out
of
the
communities
forced
into
alien
communities,
so
that
counts
the
counter
that
was
seen
the
light
and
he's
approving
of
building
houses
for
our
council
tenants.
Because
again,
when
the
opposition
we
empower,
we
are
the
hundred
percent
council
land
which
was
for
counseling
and
that
was
sold
off
to
private
developers.
I,
don't
know
what
margins
we've
got
for
that,
but
we
lost
our
land.
We
lost
our
crown
jewels
and
now
we're
trying
to
make
up.
We
value
our
residents.
E
Thank
you,
Matt
I
think
cancer
Ashlyn
wasn't
listening
carefully
enough
to
the
question.
Counselor
poorer
just
asked,
because
I
think
he
would
have
a
response.
In
fact,
from
that
question,
I
wanted
to
ask
a
different
question
of
the
executive
councilor,
and
it's
simply
this
and
I
think
requires
a
pretty
factual
answer.
Our
existing
tenants
able
to
refuse
to
move
and
have
they
been
told
so
and
what
have
they
been
told
will
happen
if
they
do
refuse
to
move.
K
S
A
E
A
T
A
L
A
We
now
turn
to.
Oh
sorry:
I
went
to
the
wrong
page.
Okay.
We
now
turn
to
our
gender
item:
ford
d
on
page
79,
270,
sorry,
122,
recommendation
of
the
executive
council
of
finance
of
resources,
2018-19
general
fund
overview
revenue
and
capital
Alcott
term
carry
forwards
and
significant
faint
variance.
Does
councillor
Robinson
wish
to
introduce
this
item?
A
T
Come
on,
we
got
to
talk
about
what
happened
last
year
with
the
accounts.
What
the
out
turn
was
the
things
important.
We
do
look
at
this
one,
it's
not
just
a
technical
thing.
This
is
and,
as
you
probably
know,
the
council
has
a
long
history
of
ending
up
each
year
under
spend
of
its
budget,
and
we've
been
working
hard
on
that
to
try
and
get
to
grips
with
that
now.
T
This
is
caused
by
some
under
spending
on
expenditure
and
overachieving
on
income
and
in
particularly
over
to
now,
in
the
last
few
two
to
three
budgets
we've
set.
We've
tried
to
adjust
figures
to
anticipate
where
we
would
likely
to
understand.
We
have
gaps
in.
You
know
Officer
posts
when
people
leave,
we
are
not
able
to
recruit
as
quickly
as
we
would
like,
and
we
have
to
anticipate
that
there
will
be
savings
as
a
result
of
that,
and
so
we
we've
been
building
into
the
budget.
T
T
But
of
that
we
want
to
carry
forward
some
items
because
they
are
basically
the
generally
where
we've
received
grants
before
the
work
can
actually
be
done.
Some
of
the
grants
only
received
right
at
the
end
of
the
financial
year,
obviously
can't
spend
it
immediately.
So
you
carry
according
to
the
new
year
so
that
this
it's
just
under
a
million
pounds
worth
of
items
carried
forward
on
the
general
fund.
On
the
other
of
the
variances
that
we've
found
during
the
year,
there
were
some
as
well
as
all
the
favorable
variances.
T
There
were
some
adverse
variances
and
two
in
particular
I'll
draw
attention
to.
One
of
them
was
the
clay
farm
community
center.
Now,
unfortunately,
the
would
be
firm,
which
was
employed
to
build
that
Center
had
a
pretty
disastrous
time
right.
The
way
through
and
and
some
parts
of
it
have
still
not
actually
been
opened
because
of
their
incompetence.
T
I
think,
and
there
was
also
the
surgery,
the
health
center
on
the
first
floor,
which
suffered
major
contamination
due
to
the
incompetence
of
the
Builder
and
as
I
think,
only
just
being
being
now
very
late,
so
those
two
items
alone
make
up
3/4
of
a
million
pounds
worth
of
underspin,
overspend
and
but
they're.
Also.
So
that's
just
one
item.
T
That
I'm
told
that
the
recovering
the
losses
on
the
chromosome
will
take
a
quite
a
few
years
to
pass
through
the
process,
but
nevertheless
we
will
be
had
working
on
what
figures
might
be
achievable,
but
for
the
moment
they
are
not
in
the
accounts.
We
are
not
assuming
any
particular
figure,
but
I
I
think
it
will
be
substantial
well
over
half
a
million
I.
Imagine
by
the
time
the
thing
gets
finished.
So
those
are
some
of
the
highlights
of
this
report.
They
have
been
these.
U
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
and
and
thank
you
to
officers
for
preparing
this
detailed
report,
the
key
focus
for
this
council.
When
reviewing
this
report,
there
should
be
the
under
spends
and,
most
importantly,
the
carry
forward
requests
that
we
are
being
requested
to
approve
and
are
detailed
in
appendices,
C
and
D.
Now
these
carry
forwards
or
and
on
dispense,
can
arise
for
reasons
outside
the
control
of
this
council
and
and
for
good
reasons,
good
performance,
some
of
which
that
councillor
Robertson
has
highlighted.
U
However,
they
can
also
indicate
a
failure
to
deliver
on
some
projects
on
a
timely
basis
and
reduced
spending
in
some
key
areas
which
we
might
be
able
to
do
otherwise.
Now
this
is
reflected
in
delays
on
several
key
feasibility
studies
that
are
included
within
that
appendix
and
also,
as
was
mentioned
in
understaffing
in
some
areas
that
I
hope
as
a
council
as
a
whole.
We
can
look
to
help
officers
we're
through
through
discussion
around
the
benchmarking
and
how
we
address
the
recruitment
issues
that
some
teams
are
having.
There
is
a
particular
item
as
well.
U
I
did
want
to
raise
on
page
111,
which
shows
a
three
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
pound
under
spend
on
the
vehicle
replacement
program.
Now
under
questioning
from
councillor
Martinelli
in
the
budget,
we
were
shown
that
a
replacement
of
vehicles
this
year
with
electric
alternatives
would
be
three
hundred
thousand
pounds
more
than
the
diesel
option.
That
was
eventually
settled
upon
now.
U
I
would
ask
whether,
given
the
the
climate
change
emergency
that
we
declared
in
February,
whether
we
might
seek
to
actually
utilize
these
under
spends
to
start
to
modernize
our
fleet
as
quickly
as
possible
and
I
would
ask
for
the
the
executive
counselor
to
to
to
answer
specifically
on
that
question.
Thank
you
very
much.
V
Like
to
thank
you
matter
matter,
I
just
like
to
express
my
concern
around
item
1.2
on
page
81,
that
this
will
be
the
last
year
that
individual
financial
reports
are
being
provided
to
scrutiny,
committees
and
as
a
new
cancer.
Although
I'm
sure
my
experience
applies
to
more
experienced
counselors
coming
on
to
a
new
committee,
I
think
these
reports
have
provided
a
very
valuable
way
of
getting
a
sense
of
the
scope
and
scale
of
the
operations
involved
and,
in
addition,
it's
even
on
a
brief
time
on
the
environment
and
community
scrutiny
committee.
V
E
Thanks,
madam
mayor
I
wanted
to
highlight
two
of
the
larger
items
of
variance
one
on
the
revenue
side
and
one
on
the
capital
side,
and
in
fact
one
of
them
is
the
same
one,
one
of
the
ones
that
councillor
Robertson
already
referred
to
on
the
revenue
side.
That's
the
one
that
that
the
largest
single
variance
is
a
loss
of
income
of
nearly
half
a
million
pounds
in
bereavement
services,
as
he
has
said
on
page
992.
E
This
has
been
mainly
covered
by
taking
money
from
the
investment
fund
intended
to
develop
the
service
for
the
future
and,
to
a
lesser
extent,
by
holding
off
on
operational
recruitment.
Now
on
reading
this.
This
is
a
very
serious
situation
for
a
much
valued
service
which,
as
we
know,
operates
in
a
mixed
economy
of
other
public
and
other
private
providers
which,
in
the
past,
has
tended
to
pay
for
itself.
E
This
obviously
can't
go
now
without
serious
consequences
like
this,
so
the
explanation
provided
suggests
I
think
a
little
bit
differently
from
what
how
councillor
Robertson
just
described
it.
The
explanation
in
the
paper
suggests
that
a
mixture
of
factors
may
be
at
work,
including
increased
competition
from
a
new
private
crematorium
in
the
area
and
indeed,
as
he
said,
access
difficulties
created
because
of
the
a14
construction.
E
So
I'd
like
to
ask:
does
the
executive
councilor
responsible
for
the
service
councillor
Smith
feel
that
these
two
factors
and
any
others
can
be
clearly
enough,
separated
to
enable
a
successful
compensation
claim
to
be
made
just
two
highways
England
and
if
so,
what
proportion
of
it
does,
she
believe
can
be
justifiably
attributed
to
the
a14
and
on
the
capital
side?
My
point
is
that
one
of
the
larger
variances
is:
is
the
under
spend
of
more
than
a
half
a
million
pounds
of
almost
half
a
million
pounds
on
the
environmental
improvement
program?
That's
on
page
112!
E
Now,
year
after
year,
we
see
this
same
picture
as
I
understand
it.
This
is
not
an
absence
of
projects
identified
and
agreed
by
area
committees
to
invest
in
in
improving
their
communities,
and
he
obviously
isn't
the
money
to
spend
on
them
because
we're
sitting
here
looking
at
what
was
budgeted
for
it,
but
wasn't
spent
it's
a
continuous
inability
to
deliver
them.
E
What
is
the
executive
councilor
responsible
for
the
service
concern,
which
I
think
is
councillor
Thornborough,
going
to
do
about
improving
the
capacity
of
the
council
to
to
under
remove
this
everlasting
bottleneck
to
delivery
without
intermittently
resorting
to
the
measure
of
turning
off
the
taps
for
new
projects,
which
is
really
disingenuous
ray
of
solving
the
problem?
We
as
members
and
you
ma'am
you
on
your
side
as
we
on
our
side
have
many
projects
we're
waiting
to
have
delivered
the
money?
W
You
come
back
on
that.
You
all
appreciate
that.
Obviously,
these
are
quite
technical
questions
and
I
did
bring
all
the
technical
material
needed
to
Community
Services,
and
no
one
asked
me
that
there
and
I
don't
have
it
with
me
today.
So
I
can
only
give
you
some
kind
of
looser
answers
now
very
happy
to
ensure
the
officers
provide
you
with
more
detailed
ones.
W
If
you
would,
if
you
would
like
that,
a14
road
work
is
clearly
having
quite
an
impact,
it's
a
huge
impact
on
what
we're
doing,
and
you
can
see
that
people
are
choosing
other
places
because
they
can't
get
there
and
that's
clearly
a
massive
issue.
We
are
still
moving
forward
with
other
things
that
are
needing
to
be
done.
We
haven't
paused
on
every
piece
of
work,
we're
still
moving
forward.
W
The
cafe
we're
still
moving
forward
with
the
additional
carpark
that
will
be
operational
when
the
a14
works
are
completed
and
the
alternative
access
road
that
will
eventually
come
into
being
well
I
think
really
enhance
what
we're
doing
so.
Having
obviously
only
picked
this
up
again
very
recently,
with
the
shuffle
around
in
the
summer,
very
aware
that
we
we've
got,
we
have
an
excellent
team
that
are
planning
very
carefully
and
how
we
will
mitigate
this
in
the
future.
W
It's
also
pointing
worth
pointing
out
that
we
recorded
a
Miss
on
expected
income
based
on
our
2016-17
income,
which
was
the
highest
on
records.
It
did
still
deliver
150,000
pounds,
profit
and
that
is
worth
I,
think
pointing
out
and
I.
Think
in
that
circumstance
that
our
team
can
do
that
in
that
really
restrict
difficult
circumstance.
I
think
is,
is
really
impressive.
They
are
pursuing.
X
Think
you
asked
me
the
same
question
last
year
and
I
explained
that
quite
a
lot
of
the
applications
invite
involved
highways
and
even
if
we're,
the
budgets
were
approved
for
particular
projects
involving
highways.
Sometimes
they
become
so
complicated
and
takes
so
long
that
they
have
to
be
abandoned.
But
I've
also
looked
at
the
figures
and
for
some
reason
that
some
wards
don't
apply
for
the
full
amount
that
they
are
able
to
apply
for.
In
the
past.
M
Thank
you,
I
think
my
question
was:
are
we
getting
electric
vehicles?
So
the
answer
is
yes,
we
have
been
doing
already
where
it's
possible.
Obviously,
electric
vehicles,
the
technology,
is
improving
all
the
time.
The
way
service
just
organized
an
event
on
clean
air
day.
It
was
maybe
like
a
month
ago,
two
months
ago,
time
flies
and
they
had
an
electric
vehicle.
I
drove
around
the
way
wasted.
What
I
didn't
drive
I
got
driven
round.
M
They
might
been
more
in
the
news
if
I
drove
it.
It
was
very
nice,
look
like
a
normal
waste
vehicle,
but
it
was
electric
we
had
they
all.
We
organised
an
event.
Peep
council
officers
came
from
all
over
the
country
to
the
event
to
look
at
find
out
more
about
electric
vehicles.
We
will
definitely
be
getting
some
ourselves.
We
will
start
initially
with,
maybe
one
because
a
we
need
the
infrastructure.
M
At
the
moment,
electric
bin
lorries
are
twice
the
price
and
they
are
untested,
so
the
one
we
saw
has
been
tested
used
for
a
few
days
around,
but
we
don't
really
know
how
long
they'll
last
so
it's
a
work
in
progress,
and
the
last
thing
to
say
is
we're
also
doing
a
fleet
review
this
year.
So
we'll
have
a
much
clearer
picture
of
what
vehicles
we
need,
what
our
vehicles
do
and
where
we
can't
replace
better
or
even
not
have
fewer
vehicles.
O
You,
madam
mayor
I'd,
like
to
congratulate
our
executive
counselors.
On
being
so
honest
with
these
figures,
when
we
were
in
opposition-
and
we
questioned
the
council,
the
Baker
was
in
charge
at
the
time
and
I'd
suggest
our
executive
councillors.
They
use
the
same
same
phrase.
He
used
to
come
up
with
slippage
so
every
year,
when
I
challenge
them
on
the
under
spend,
his
technical
term
was
slippage,
and
that
was
eight
million
pounds
one
year
and
the
following
year.
O
T
It's
one
item
left
for
me
to
deal
with,
which
is
the
question
of
the
reporting
on
these
items:
we're
striving
to
be
as
efficient
as
possible
and
to
cut
down
the
amount
of
paperwork
we
produce
and
the
amount
of
time
that
needs
to
you
know
allocated
for
these
things.
So
we
concluded
that
bringing
together
all
the
individual
reports
on
all
the
departments
to
the
strategy
and
resources
committee
was
the
best
approach,
and
that
is
what
we
plan
to
do
next
year.
T
S
A
We
now
turn
to
agenda
item
five
oral
questions.
This
item
will
last
a
maximun
or
30
minutes.
The
executive,
councilor,
chair
or
nominee
will
have
up
to
two
minutes
to
reply.
The
questionnaire
will
then
have
two
minutes
to
put
a
supplementary
question
or
to
seek
clarification
of
the
response
to
the
original
question.
The
executive,
counselor
chair
or
not
a
nominee
will
have
a
further
two
minutes
to
reply
to
the
supplementary
question
at
the
conclusion
of
the
thirty
minutes,
those
that
have
not
answered
may
provide
a
written
response
to
the
member
who
put
the
question.
Y
W
A
Thank
You,
counselor
Collis
and
welcome
to
the
council,
the
idea
of
accounts
or
anti-poverty
strategy
was
introduced
in
2014,
and
the
current
strategy
is
running
from
2017
to
next
year.
We've
just
had
our
annual
review
of
the
strategy
and
there's
a
lot
of
really
exciting
work
being
done.
The
strategy
underpins
everything
we
do
so.
A
lot
of
the
work
takes
place
as
part
of
our
business
as
usual
work.
For
example,
we
have
a
Community
Grants
Program
of
over
a
million
pounds.
W
Funding
almost
a
hundred
voluntary
and
community
groups
and
groups
must
show
how
they
are
addressing
at
least
one
of
our
anti-poverty
targets
in
order
to
be
eligible
for
that
grant.
We've
made
discretionary
housing
payments
to
more
than
600
households
and
a
one
on
the
way
to
building
those
over
five
hundred
much
needed
council
homes.
We've
also
established
many
specific
anti-poverty
projects,
for
example,
and
these
are
all
just
examples,
because
I
could
go
on
for
10
minutes.
W
That
will
an
hour
about
all
of
this,
for
example,
for
its
as
we
found
a
financial
inclusion
officer,
a
fuel
and
water
poverty
officer
and
a
living
wage
officer
and
I
think
we're
probably
the
only
council
in
the
country
to
do
that.
They
wouldn't
like
to
swear
to
that,
but
certainly
it
was
massively
praised
at
the
living
wage
award
ceremonies
where
we
had
won
an
award
for
our
work
there
we
helped
to
provide,
along
with
local
churches,
hundreds
of
free
holiday
lunches.
We
work
with
Cambridge
sustainable
food
to
provide
cookery
advice,
free
and
subsidized.
W
We
provide
free
and
subsidized
sports
sessions
and
have
tried
to
mitigate
the
impact
of
the
introduced,
introduction
of
universal
credit
by
funding
a
Citizens
Advice
bureaux
advice
the
Job
Center.
It's
coming
up
for
review
at
the
moment,
we're
looking
at
how
we
can
make
it
even
better
in
the
future.
It's
a
fantastic
strategy
that
I'm
really
proud
of.
A
Y
Have
two
minutes?
Thank
you
yes,
and
having
worked
in
frontline
services
with
people
suffering
the
impact
of
poverty
across
the
city,
I'm
really
encouraged
to
hear
the
progress
of
our
strategy.
Clearly,
you
know
there
is
more
to
do,
but
I
think
everybody
in
the
chamber.
Both
sides
can
be
really
proud
of.
What's
been
achieved,
I
wonder
as
an
addition.
Can
the
executive
counselor
also
update
us
on
the
period
poverty
project.
W
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
your
words
on
that.
I
think
we
all
agree
around
this
table
that
we
can't
promise
magic
solutions,
but
we
can
promise
to
do
everything
we
possibly
can
do
to
ensure
that
we
target
our
support
to
those
who
need
it.
The
most
and
I
think
we
probably
will
share
that
commitment
in
terms
of
period
poverty.
W
We're
of
course
working
with
the
local
food
bank
as
a
main
distribution
point.
But
we're
also
looking
for
others
to
and
looking
for
council
points
where
we
can
so,
for
example,
we're
looking
to
develop,
scrap
store
as
a
potential
collection
and
distribution
point
for
the
autumn.
So
this
is
something
I
know
that
we
all
share
a
real
commitment
to
in
this
chamber
and
it's
really
exciting
to
see
things
moving
along.
X
Yes,
we
are,
we
are
reduced,
we
are,
it
is
in
very.
It
is
a
very
important
that
we
concentrate
on
water
fountains
being
installed,
and
we
have
had
a
very
successful
trial
on
Parker's
piece
where
the
with
the
water
fountains-
and
we
are
also-
and
we
are
also
looking-
we've
worked
with
anglia
water
to
have
water
banks
when,
on
at
the
at
events
and
they've,
been
very
successful.
Z
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
mayor.
As
the
executive
councilor
knows,
she
promised
already
in
April
that
the
fountain,
the
public
fountain
on
Lamas
land
would
be
functional
by
the
summer.
Lots
of
plastic
waste
is
produced
every
day
on
Lamas
land.
It's
not
suitable
for
our
carbon
neutrality
strategy
and
nonetheless,
we
still
don't
have
a
functioning
water
fountain.
We
have
three
non
functioning
water
fountains
on
Lamas
land,
a
problem
that
she
identified
a
long
time
ago.
Z
I
really
don't
understand
why
you're
declaring
climate
emergency,
a
biodiversity
crisis
and
then
on
this
simple
issue
of
installing
the
water
fountain,
and
when
we
asked
at
western
central
area
committee,
we
were
told.
Oh,
this
is
already
approved
and
will
be
installed
now.
Here
we
are
in
July
and
nothing
has
happened.
How
can
this
be.
X
That
particular
environmental
improvement
project
was,
was
it
wasn't
slippage?
It
was
it?
No
it
it
was
the
it
was
company.
It
has
been
on
the
books
for
a
while,
because
it's
incredibly,
it
was
very
complicated
and
I've
been
told
that
that
particular
project
has
been
abandoned
and
that's
what
was
told
at
that
Mitty
at
the
committee.
X
K
City
Council's
doing
an
enormous
amount
to
deal
with
rough
sleeping
as
follows.
We
make
grants
of
over
700
thousand
pounds
to
agencies
that
provide
accommodation
and
welfare
services.
We
set
aside
40
social
tendencies
a
year,
helping
form
of
rough
sleepers
to
move
out
of
postures
and
creating
space
for
newcomers.
We
fund
a
street
outreach
team
of
a
remit
to
find
in
assists
everyone
sleeping
love
in
a
city.
We
make
generous
provision
for
the
excess
scheme
to
assist
people
into
private
sector
tenancies.
K
We
provide
funding
for
our
Housing
Benefit
Plus
scheme
to
help
people
live
in
hostels
to
afford
the
cost
of
renting
in
Cambridge.
This
scheme
also
provides
employment
support
so
that
when
the
top-up
payment
stops,
the
customer
can
pay
the
rent
in
full.
We
have
a
social
lettings,
Agency
Town
Hall
nettings,
which
helps
source
and
manage
private
sector
accommodation
for
people
who
would
otherwise
be
homeless.
K
Our
single
homelessness
service
has
now
assisted
over
500
people
to
find
a
place
of
their
own,
getting
them
quickly
off
the
streets
before
they
might
develop
the
habits
which
make
it
more
difficult
for
them
to
us
to
be
assisted.
There
are
over
500
supported
beds
in
Cayman,
City,
of
which
at
least
300
people
who
are
homeless.
We
have
produced
a
pocket-sized
fold-out
booklet,
which
provides
information
about
the
range
of
services
available
in
the
city
for
people
on
the
streets.
K
It
is
then,
that
rough
sleepers
themselves
or
anyone
concerned
about
rough
sleepers
from
November
to
March
each
year,
the
council
and
his
partner
agencies
provide
extra
beds
for
us
for
rough
sleepers
or
nor
ever
turns
bad.
Last
winter,
up
to
46
beds
were
available
over
a
five
month
period.
We
have
successfully
bid
two
central
government
for
270,000
pounds,
whoever
discretionary
funding,
amongst
other
things,
that
can
be
used
to
support
an
extension
to
street
outreach
service
that
could
be
won
in
the
evenings
and
at
weekends
and
Street.
K
F
K
Of
course,
we
want
to
eliminate
homelessness.
Street
homelessness
is
a
scourge
why
not
in
our
city
and
across
the
United
Kingdom
there
is
a
homelessness
emergency.
In
addition
to
what
has
been
said
about
climate
emergency,
I
think
there's
a
homeless
homelessness
emergency,
but
there
has
been
one
since
2010.
There
has
been
at
homelessness
emergency
since
2010
homelessness
has
been
was
decreasing
to
the
13
years
previous,
the
2010
after
2010
it's
it
rose
significantly.
K
It
was
significantly
afternoon,
but
unfortunately,
the
NIP
dem
Tory
coalition
and
their
austerity
agenda
was
behind
it,
the
sudden
increase
and
we
are
still
suffering
the
effects
a
day.
We
need
a
Labour
government
that
would
actually
deal
with
the
structural
issues
to
provide
the
support
for
us,
as
in
local
government,
to
to
to
eliminate
homelessness
once
and
for.
K
As
councillor
big-nosed,
a
housing
first
model
has
been
used
in
here
in
other
cities
to
support
those
rough
sleepers
of
complex
needs,
who
have
had
a
history
of
repeat,
homelessness
and
failure
to
progress
for
the
hostel
and
existing
supported
housing
rehousing
pathways.
So,
whilst
hostels
may
not
be
the
way
forward
for
some
rough
sleepers,
we
are
not
against
hostels
per
se
and
housing.
First,
in
our
view,
isn't
necessarily
a
like-for-like
replacement
of
the
hostel
system.
E
Thanks
Madame,
a
the
very
visible
number
of
her
rough
sleepers.
That's
daily
on
our
streets
sadly
suggests
that
there
is
absolutely
no
shortage
of
individuals
needing
support
of
one
sort
or
another
and
I
agree
with
the
executive
councilor
that
different
individuals
require
different
types
of
support.
What?
Why,
then,
is
he
acquiescing
in
the
proposed
closure
of
Willow
Walk
hostel?
The
only
homeless
hostel
in
the
city
which
addresses
the
needs
of
former
rough
sleepers,
with
the
highest
level
of
support
needs,
providing
the
kind
of
structure
that
many
former
rough
sleepers
need?
E
Who
will
never
be
immediate
candidates
for
housing?
First?
Is
he
aware
that
the
development
of
housing
first,
which
he's
presiding
over
which
the
city
does
badly
need
in
order
to
have
a
richer
and
more
effective
mix
of
options,
is,
in
his
version
actually
going
to
be
funded
by
the
closure
of
an
existing
option?
That
practitioners,
in
the
field
see
is
continuing
to
be
vital
or
the
spillover
back
to
the
streets
will
actually
increase
rather
than
reduce?
E
K
So
we
think
that
for
many
people,
long-term
hostel
accommodation,
others
said
it's
not
a
good
solution
and
for
some
of
high
needs
is
not
an
option
at
all,
and
we
would
expect
that
the
housing
first
model
is
successful
over
time.
If
it
is
successful
over
time,
the
city's
our
needs
for
hospital
accommodation
will
decline.
K
However,
we
are
just
in
only
introducing
housing
first
tendencies
at
a
time
when
housing
pressures
are
very
high
indeed,
and
reductions
and
other
services,
for
example,
at
hostels
like
with
a
walk,
can
increase
pressure
on
pressures
from
people
who
are
at
risk
of
homelessness.
So,
in
fact,
I
actually
would
prefer
that
when
I
walk
continue
to
have
the
funding
from
the
county
councils,
a
shame
that
the
Tory
Authority
there
had
had
had
attempted
per
as
determine
its
determined
to
reduce
their
to
reduce
that
funding.
K
K
I've
only
got
figures
up
to
April
2019.
We
are
waiting
for
more
recently,
more
recent
figures
on
the
Cambridgeshire
community
of
foundation,
but
the
ground
serves
were
fifty
seven
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifty
seven
pounds
and
forty
four
pence
has
been
raised
and
179
grants
have
been
given
to
people
on
the
streets
to
help
turn
their
lives
around.
Q
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
an
and
thank
you
councillor
Johnson
for
your
your
response.
I
think
we
can
all
be
very,
very
pleased
with
the
good
work
that
is
being
done
and
and
a
profile
that
has
been
raised
and
for
for
Cambridge
Street
they
to
erase
that
fifty
seven
thousand
pounds
in
what
is
a
red.
You
know
in
usually
in
small
small
donations,
is
a
massive
achievement,
and
could
you
tell
us
what
further
plans
we
and
I
know
you
mentioned
this
briefly
earlier?
Q
K
K
There's
been
a
number
of
various
of
charity
events
that
have
taken
place
across
the
city
over
recent
months
to
try
and
get
street
aid
out
there,
because
if
we
can
get
a
message
out
there
that
there
is
actually
a
way
in
which
people
can
provide
a
proper
support
for
those
on
the
streets,
then
that's
that's
good
for
us,
it's
good
for
the
for
the
homeless
and
it's
good
for
the
community
because
they
know
that
there
is.
You
know
their
money
is
being
put
to
good
use.
M
So
the
question
is:
does
the
council
have
data
regarding
the
level
of
recycling
events,
so
the
events
team,
which
actually
comes
under
councilor,
Katy
Thornborough
in
her
portfolio?
It
doesn't
hold
data
on
levels
of
recycling,
because
the
events
team
organizes
the
events,
but
the
waste
is
a
commercial
waste
contract.
M
Unlike
many
councils,
we
do
have
our
own
commercial
waste
service
who
are
available
for
events,
but
unfortunately,
not
all
event.
Organizations
use
our
service,
for
example,
some
our
events
which
they
hold
all
over
the
country
they
travel
around
and
they've
already
got
someone
that
they
contract
in
the
commercial
waste
service
do
have
some
data,
for
example,
where,
obviously,
when
it's
our
service,
that
is
collecting
the
waste.
So,
for
example,
the
half-marathon
has
a
recycling
rate
of
82
percent
and
it's
usually
very
good
quality
with
low
contamination,
because
one
side
sounds
good.
M
The
other
side
is
most
of
it
is
plastic
bottles
for
the
event.
So
that's
an
improvement,
but
encouraging
them
to
have
reusable
bottles
is
something
that
we
will
work
on.
We're
very
happy
that
this
year
we
had
the
contract
for
the
beer
festival,
which
had
a
70%
recycling
rate.
But
as
this
is
the
first
year,
we
don't
have
anything
to
compare
it
to
other
than
anecdotally.
The
beer
festival
said
it
was
a
great
service
and
recycling
was
up.
U
U
We
encourage
the
principles,
but
actually
I
wondered
if,
in
order
to
improve
outcomes,
the
exact
counselor
would
support
strengthening
those
existing
policies
helping
to
develop
with
officers,
clear
environmental
standards
for
all
of
the
events
that
we
do
hold,
which
then
seek
to
minimize
the
use
of
single-use
plastics
and
maximize
recycling.
Furthermore,
if
we
were
to
do
that,
it
would
be
very
useful
if
we
could
then
increase
the
level
of
support
that
this
council
offers
to
event.
U
Organizers,
I
think
the
Scottish
Borders
Council,
for
example,
provide
a
number
of
additional
big
pieces
of
information
and
encouragement
and
finally,
actually
we
could
even
introduce
inspections
to
events,
to
judge
how
those
standards
are
applied
and
provide
advice
and
support
to
make
further
improvements
in
current.
Yes,
thank
you.
M
It's
a
bit
difficult
because
now
this
has
really
this
isn't
my
portfolio.
I
can
say
it
from
my
perspective.
I,
don't
know
what
we
do
about
that
when
the
question
is
to
the
wrong
executive
counts,
they're,
clear
and
honest
answers,
maybe
I'm
not
always
clear,
but
I
feel
I'm,
always
honest,
maybe
I'm
lying
to
myself,
who
knows
inspections
to
events?
M
Well,
we
do
inspect
events,
for
example
for
environmental
health
with
food
inspections
servants
we
waste.
We
are
talking
about
doing
an
events,
sort
of
guide
which
would
help
anyone
organising
an
event
whether
it
was
on
our
land
or
not
in
terms
of
waste.
As
I
said,
it's
not
really
my
portfolio,
but
we
have
been
discs.
Our
portfolios
have
been
talking
to
each
other
and
we
are
working
on
a
clearer
waste
strategy
to
help
reduce
the
amount
of
waste
on
events.
X
We
are
we
we
take,
we
we,
we
are
looking
at
the
terms
and
references
and
things
like
we
want
to
stop
the
use.
You
know,
don't
want
balloons
going
off
and
things
like
that
because
it's
you
know
terrible
plastic
and
it's
an
environmental
disaster
really
so
we're
looking
at
reviewing
the
terms
in
to
make
things
more
sustainable,
so
those
suggestions
will
be
considered.
Thank
you.
W
Thank
You
councillor
and
also
welcome
to
the
chamber
I
really
do
wish.
This
was
a
question.
I
didn't
have
to
answer,
because
these
things
shouldn't
be
happening
at
all.
The
cuts
made
on
Tuesday
seem
to
be
falling
disproportionately
only
on
the
elderly
and
the
vulnerable
funding
to
dial-a-ride
has
cut
funding
to
the
Stroke
Association,
which
gives
much
needed
care
to
people
in
their
homes.
After
a
stroke
was
cut.
Funding
for
the
carers,
trust
to
be
renegotiated
to
include
support
only
for
the
highest
need.
People
cut,
those
of
us
who
have
been
following
it
closely.
W
W
The
main
point
is
that
none
of
these
cuts
should
have
to
have
been
made
at
all
health
care,
like
education,
like
social
care
like
policing
so
like
so
much
of
local
government
is
facing
unsustainable
cuts.
The
austerity
policies
of
the
coalition
and
tory
governments
are
taking
public
services
to
breaking
point
and
beyond,
and
it
is
the
most
vulnerable
who
and
will
continue
to
suffer.
W
There
is
an
urgent
need
for
funding
across
the
country
and
an
urgent
need
for
parity
as
well.
Just
as
we
seen
with
education
funding,
our
region
is
near
the
bottom
of
the
list
when
it
comes
to
getting
its
fair
share,
but
cambrie
shares
CCG
I
believe
is
the
third
lowest
funded
in
the
country.
There
are
others
getting
over
350
pounds
per
head
of
population
more
than
Cambridge
shira's.
The
government
needs
to
sit
up
and
take
action.
It
needs
to
stop
clinging
to
an
ideological
austerity
policy.
It
needs
to
start
funding
our
services
properly.
AA
So
I
was
wondering
whether
councillor
Smith
agrees
with
me
that
we
should
keep
a
close
eye
on
those
services
that
are
up
for
renegotiation,
including
the
joint
emergency
team
that
provides
support
for
people
to
stay
at
home
rather
than
be
admitted
into
hospital,
because
we
don't
want
these
crucial
services
to
become
shadows
of
their
former
selves.
As
these
austerity
cuts
continue.
W
Thank
you
absolutely
agree.
I
mean
I,
think
there
were
common.
There
were
suggestions
initially
that
the
joint
emergency
team
was
going
to
be
cut.
This
Tuesday
and
obviously
I
think
we
will
relieved,
it
hasn't
been
cut
at
the
moment
and
they
are
taking.
The
CCG
are
taking
more
time
to
renegotiate
to
consider
its
future.
W
This
team
is
absolutely
vital
in
supporting
vulnerable
people.
Apparently
around
about
ten
thousand
patient
contacts
are
made
each
year.
It
is
crucial
in
ensuring
that
people
who
need
emergency
support,
but
do
not
need
hospitalization,
are
treated
in
their
homes
in
a
really
swift
and
effective
way,
and
I'm
sure
that
many
of
us
in
this
chamber
of
maybe
how
to
cause
to
be
glad
of
that
support
for
friends
or
relatives
or
constituents
we're
really
going
to
have
to
keep
a
close
eye
on
this.
W
What
worries
me
is
that
it's
unpopular
now,
it's
going
to
get
kicked
in
the
long
grass
and
then
quietly
cut
again
when
no
one
is
looking
and
I
think
we
really
need
to
monitor
this
closely.
As
I
said,
we've
had,
they
are
aiming
to
make
33
million
pounds
worth
of
savings
this
year.
They
made
five
hundred
thousand
pounds
worth
of
cuts.
Yesterday,
that's
a
heck
of
a
lot
of
savings.
G
Yes,
the
police
station
I
have
to
talk
about
my
favorite
person,
Jason
Noble
right
right.
Well,
how
can
I
date
I
had
a
very
interesting
meeting
with
a
peace
and
crime
panel
last
month
into
the
month.
It
was
tense,
to
say
the
least
Jason
at
the
time
said
he
was
never
intended
to
meet
any
cambrie
city
councilor
in
of
any
kind.
G
Thankfully,
he's
changed
his
mind
and
myself
and
council
her,
but
I've
managed
to
persuade
in
that
we
will
do.
We
do
need
meeting
and
we
will
be
talking
to
him
next
week.
Actually,
how
long
we
get
I
don't
know,
but
in
the
meantime
the
key
city
officers
have
been
talking
to
they're
working
with
local
police
officers
and
the
office.
G
G
A
We've
run
out
of
time,
so,
oh,
oh
I,
know
I'm
sorry.
So
if
members
can
write
back
to
the
counselors
that
had
the
questions
haven't
been
answered,
that'd
be
great.
Thank
you
very
much
right.
We
moved
to
agenda
item
six.
The
mover
and
second
I
have
up
to
ten
minutes
between
them.
Where
there
are
amendments.
The
proposer
and
seconder
of
the
amendments
also
have
ten
minutes
between
them
and
all
other
contributions
are
up
to
three
minutes
per
council.
AC
AD
You,
madam,
at
and
so
council,
thank
you
for
letting
me
propose
this
motion.
I
think
it
is
a
topic
about
which
many
members
feel
passionate,
so
pesticides
have
been
used
by
humans
in
one
form
or
another
for
thousands
of
years
to
control
our
natural
environment.
The
aims
of
exerting
this
control
have
often
had
noble
motivations,
but
I
think
we
are
now
increasingly
seeing
the
no
civ
effects
of
this
practice
in
our
city.
AD
Pesticides
constitute
a
blunt
tool
to
kill
off
natural
organisms.
There
is
certainly
no
denying
that
they
are
effective.
However,
this
same
efficacy
necessarily
leads
to
the
destruction
of
habitats
for
insects,
small
animals
and
birds,
as
well
as
poisoning
of
their
food
supply.
It
decreases
the
number
and
variety
of
plants
that
thrive
in
Cambridge
I
wish
to
avoid
descending
into
alarmism
about
the
potential
health
impacts
of
pesticides,
as
the
overall
risk
to
residents
remain
small,
but
the
World
Health
Organization's
international
agency
for
research
on
cancer
has
very
clearly
stated
that
glide
phosphate.
AD
The
major
active
ingredient
in
our
herbicides
is
probably
carcinogenic.
I
absolutely
do
congratulate
the
ruling
group
on
what
they
have
done
to
reduce
pesticide
use
within
Cambridge's
open
spaces
as
detailed
in
their
559.
Amendment
I
do,
however,
feel
that
this
is
only
the
first
necessary
stage
as
part
of
an
overall
strategy
for
more
deep-seated
change.
In
addition
to
our
open
spaces,
we
have
to
acknowledge
the
large
quantity
of
pesticide
use
by
city
council
teams
to
manage
our
pathways
and
verges.
AD
The
abundance
of
hard
areas
in
an
urban
environment
of
course
means
that
there
is
less
soil
available
in
which
these
chemicals
can
be
broken
down
to
harmless
constituents.
Beyond
this,
we
need
to
consider
how
we
can
work
with
the
universities
and
other
major
land
managers
in
Cambridge
to
reduce
their
pesticide
use.
Our
proposal,
therefore,
is
that
we
should
seek
to
bind
ourselves
and
our
partner
organizations
into
a
concrete
strategy
with
regular
stakeholder
forum
to
help
push
through
these
further
necessary
changes.
AD
We
would
set
a
target
of
three
years
to
complete
this
process,
based
on
the
experience
other
authorities
have
has,
as
has
well
been
established
in
this
chamber,
most
recently
with
our
plan
for
an
ambitious
carbon
neutrality
target.
Our
group
does
feel
that
setting
specific
achieve
of
policy
targets
for
the
council
is
a
vital
part
of
ensuring
accountability
as
such
I
do
think.
It
would
once
again
to
be
be
a
great
shame
to
lose
that
aspect
of
the
motion
in
amendment
I.
Do
not
see
this
motion
as
a
particularly
radical
bit
of
policy.
AD
A
A
You
have
seven
and
a
half
minutes.
Okay,
would
I
call
on
councillor
Thumba
to
move
the
amendment
which
has
been
updated
since
May
midday
yesterday
under
council
procedure
rules
23.3,
the
council
may
bias
armful
majority
permit
amendments
to
be
moved
where
no
or
inadequate
notice
has
been
given
councillor
Sombra.
Will
you
explain
the
revised
amendment
and
does
the
council
agree
to
suspend
at
the
council
procedure,
rule
23
point
to
amend
amendments
by
midday
and
preceding
day
to
permit
the
amendment
to
be
put
to
the
council?
S
S
G
AE
Sorry
no
test
bit
we've
been
very
helpful
to
hear
counselor
thumbs
explanation
for
why
big
moment
was
a
brought
thought
she
was
no
no
my
point
matter.
Mary
is
we've
no
helpful
to
hear
that
explanation
before
we
vote
it
as
the
circumstances
under
which
she
brings
the
amendment
late
might
have
influenced
our
vote.
X
So
the
my
first
amendment
referred
to
pesticides,
and
it's
been
made
clear
at
a
late
date
that
actually
in
the
parks
and
open
spaces,
the
the
youth,
the
majority
of
the
use,
is
herbicides
and
I
wanted.
We
wanted
to
distinguish
between
herbicides
and
pesticides,
because
pesticides
are
used
for
other
purposes
within
the
council's
work,
and
we
didn't
want
this
motion
to
limit
that,
but
also
the
there
was
also
the
point
that
in
exceptional
circumstances
they're
there.
X
X
Madam
mayor
I'd
like
to
thank
councillor
Martinelli
for
bringing
this
motion
to
count
to
this
council
meeting,
as
it
allows
me
to
outline
the
ways
in
which
we're
already
moving
to
make
Cambridge
a
herbicide
free
City.
It
also
gives
me
a
chance
to
really
iterate
our
commitment
to
work
with
other
authorities
and
the
wider
community
to
ensure
that
other
users
of
herbicides
also
work
towards
a
limit
eliminating
their
use.
X
Earlier
this
year,
as
I
was
working
on
the
biodiversity
emergency
motion,
which
we
passed
at
our
last
meeting,
I
learned
much
more
about
the
huge
and
ongoing
damage
being
done
to
the
environment
and
the
need
to
consider
these
issues
in
a
different
way,
one
that
gave
due
weight
to
the
critical
situation.
Now
we
find
ourselves
in
over
species
loss.
We
had
begun
trials
to
see
if
we
could
reduce
our
herbicide
use
and
I
discuss
these
with
the
SOS
team.
X
Those
trials
started
from
an
assumption
that
we
would
use
herbicides
on
the
council's
open
spaces
and
would
try
and
reduce
the
levels,
but
we
agreed
that
it
would
be
better
to
reverse
this
thinking
and
start
from
the
premise
of
using
no
herb
size,
except
where
there
was
good
justification
for
their
use
in
specific
areas,
focus
pacific
purposes.
We
decided
to
trial
this
new
approach
from
April.
This
was
a
big
change.
X
It
requires
a
shift
in
mindset
regarding
the
care
and
management
of
our
open
spaces,
so
we
did
not
simply
issue
an
order
to
stop
these
chemicals.
Our
ecologist
talked
to
the
operatives
about
the
reasons
for
these
changes
and
asked
their
views
on
how
to
implement
the
policy
on
the
ground,
or
rather
on
the
grass.
The
teams
are
out
in
the
spaces
every
day.
They
see
the
problems
and
the
successes,
and
they
speak
to
the
residents
and
visitors
and
their
understanding
in
support
of
Ifill.
X
X
Fellow
councilors
will
know
that
we
do
occasionally
get
messages
when
mowing
or
vegetation
clearances
is
considered
late.
The
team
have
also
talked
to
residents
groups
and
Friends
groups
about
the
new
approach
and
how
green
areas
will
be
different,
and
we
have
started
an
awareness
program
which
we
will
plan
to
develop
into
a
major
campaign,
so
the
SOS
team
were
working
on
this
and
after
a
few
months,
they
came
back
to
me
to
say
that
they
have
implemented
zero
herbicide
for
use
for
general
management
from
the
1st
of
July.
X
It
would
now
only
be
used
to
treat
pests
where
they
pose
a
bio
security
threat.
I
was
taken
aback
by
this
amazing
news.
The
SOS
team
had
understood
the
importance
of
removing
herbicides
from
their
toolkit,
took
on
the
challenge
and
delivered.
We
still
have
much
to
do
with
this
new
approach
and
it
will
be
reviewed
as
we
see
what
changes
it
creates
in
our
open
spaces.
X
We
will
work
with
and
listen
to
our
residents
and
Friends
groups,
but
this
is
now
our
current
practice
in
line
with
the
commitment
in
our
biodiversity
emergency
motion
to
act
during
the
first
year
to
walk
towards
future
measureable
biodiversity
net
gain
and
came
for
Cambridge.
We
want
to
do
more,
for
example,
to
stop
using
herbicides
on
foot
ways
and
verges
which
we
maintain
on
behalf
of
the
county
council,
and
we
are
in
advance
discussions
about
this.
X
We
also
want
private
individuals,
local
businesses,
the
universities
and
colleges
and
everyone
else
to
see
how
they
could
stop
using
herbicides.
So
we
will
raise
awareness
on
this
issue
and
of
the
steps
that
can
be
taken
and
we
don't
want
to
just
stop
using
herbicides.
We
will
continue
to
help
people
to
recognize,
appreciate
and
help
to
improve
nature
in
our
city.
There
are
many
aspects
to
this.
X
One
that
is
dear
to
me
is
the
hedgehog
awareness
campaign
which
started
in
May
and
continues
through
the
year
with
a
monthly
campaign
to
spend
time
in
schools
with
allotment
holders.
Even
with
fencing
companies.
Next
year
we
will
have
a
campaign
focusing
on
pollinators
like
these.
There
will
be
more
and
I
look
forward
to
discussing
future
plans
and
taking
the
views
of
all
interested
parties
into
account.
This
change
in
approach
matters
so
I'd
like
to
extend
an
invitation
to
all
ward
councillors
to
take
our
messages
to
extend
it
to
take
our
message
to
the
residents.
X
A
H
You
I
want
to
say,
thanks
to
all,
have
worked
quickly
in
the
council
to
facilitate
this
change
and
approach
to
herbicide
and
pesticide
use
and
to
Katie
for
responding
so
quickly
in
light
of
the
biodiversity
crisis
we
face,
we
all
face
when
we
passed
a
biodiversity
emergency
motion
in
May.
We
have
pledged
to
provide
leadership
and
to
work
with
the
community
businesses
and
residents
to
reverse
the
decline
in
biodiversity
in
Cambridge.
H
With
this
quick
response
from
the
council
and
speaking
in
my
capacity
as
the
new
lead
councillor
for
biodiversity,
my
hope
is
that
the
wider
public
and
all
organisations
will
take
notice
and
stop
using
pesticides
and
herbicides
to
I
look
to
all
residents
and
fellow
councillors
across
the
bench
and
over
the
next
year,
or
look
for
further
ideas
and
projects
where
we
can
work
together
to
improve
biodiversity.
More
generally,
thank
you.
I
support
this
amended
motion.
S
I'm
torn
as
to
which
of
these
motions
I
should
support
a
I.
Think
logically,
I
should
support
the
amended
motion
because
clearly,
in
your
original
motion,
there
are
factual
errors
which
have
been
satisfactorily
corrected.
My
first
thought
is
why
the
hell,
don't
you
and
you
get
together
before
we
have
council
meetings
when
you
know
that
the
consensus
is
that,
yes,
pesticides
are
a
damn
nuisance
and
we
should
be
getting
rid
of
them.
That
is
the
consensual
view.
S
Why
not
get
together
and
come
to
us
with
emotion
that
we
can
all
support
this
party
business
of
you
know
we
put
down
a
motion,
we
amend
it
to
show
that
we're
superior
in
our
ethical
thinking
and
so
on
is
so
depressing
and
I
think
one
other
thing,
particularly
for
the
benefit
of
new
members.
If
there
is
one
way
in
which
you
will
turn
people
off,
it
is
by
reading
speeches.
I
wish
that
people
would
give
that
up
this
practice.
S
F
A
mere
can
I
just
can
I
just
comment
on
that
observation
from
counsel,
hip-hip,
King
I
think
it's
inappropriate,
I
think
members
should
be
able
to
express
themselves
in
whatever
form
they
like
in
this
chamber,
from
notes
or
written
speeches
and
can
I
just
say.
Some
of
us
have
been
around
for
a
long
time
and
I.
Remember
when
I
was
a
new
counselor
and
I
I
spent
a
lot
of
time.
Writing
very
scripted
speeches
when
I
was
very
junior
as
a
counselor,
so
I,
don't
necessarily
think
that
that's
appropriate
that
counts.
The
hip
Kim
made.
Z
Z
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
mayor
I'm,
very
disappointed
because
the
biodiversity
champion
and
the
executive
councilor
who
promoted
the
biodiversity
emergency
motion
so
forcefully,
are
now
denuding
the
Lib
Dem
motion
on
a
pesticide
free
city.
After
your
amendment,
you
should
change
the
title
as
well,
because
it's
anything,
but
you
said
that
if
there
is
a
bio
health
hazard,
we
can
still
use
pesticides.
Do
you
know
what
pesticides
do?
Do
you
know
how
damaging
they
are
in
any
situation?
Z
I,
don't
foresee
any
possibility
in
our
streets
and
open
spaces,
especially
where
children
play
that
we
would
use
pesticides
even
in
exceptional
circumstances.
That's
just
not
on
also
you
said.
Oh,
we
need
long-term
negotiations
with
our
county
council.
Friends,
I
think
if
our
staff
are
no
longer
allowed
to
use
herbicides
for
city
business,
we
just
give
a
notice
to
the
County
Council
and
tell
them
that
that
is
the
new
modest
operandi.
I.
Don't
understand
why
we
are
hesitating
on
this.
We're
we're
destroying
B
habitats
will
be
destroying
insects.
You
quoted
the
figure
before.
U
AF
Z
Mayor,
let
me
let
me
redirect
madam
mayor
I
find
it
really
disappointing
that
the
executive
councilor
that
so
well
championed
the
biodiversity
crisis
motion
and
declared
how
many
insects
are
about
to
be
extinct
now
says.
Well,
if
there's
biosafety
issue,
we
still
need
to
use
these
toxic
chemicals
I
think
she,
the
the
whole
council,
should
rethink
this
approach
and
not
denude
this
important
motion.
Thank
you
very
much.
AC
Feels
like
Groundhog
Day,
like
2014
and
I,
made
my
maiden
speech.
It
was
bumbling.
There
were
no
written
things
to
read
off,
so
I
had
to
just
say
as
it
came,
it
was
all
for
even
brought
a
smile
to
Tim
Bix
face.
It
was
about
the
pest
control
service
which
you
were
cutting,
and
the
funny
thing
is
is
one
of
the
things
that
our
pesticide
is
it's
a
road
in
Seaside
which
would
kill
rats
and
mice,
which,
of
course,
we
still
need.
Don't
we,
because
otherwise,
arrow
Tyrion
in
Kings
hedges
will
get
very.
A
AE
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
and
I.
Do
just
think.
I
want
to
highlight
again
I
think
this
is
the
usual
process.
I
haven't
experienced
a
late
amendment
before,
but
it
is
really
very
difficult
on
this
side
of
the
chamber
to
know
whether
to
judge
to
accept
or
reject
it,
not
knowing
what
circumstances
behind
it
were,
because
there
are
I'm
sure
there
are
very
good
reasons
to
bring
your
late
amendment.
I,
don't
think
not
amending.
AE
Your
motion
in
time
is
a
good
one,
but
it
will
be
helpful
on
this
side,
the
chamber,
to
understand
what
those
reasons
are.
So
we
can
vote
fairly
on
that
process
supposed
to
make
that
as
a
point
in
terms
of
process.
The
future
thank
you
and
to
talk
about,
and
the
motion
in
the
amendment
I'm
pretty
someone
who
was
confessed
to
not
know
a
great
deal
about
pesticides
and
herbicides,
etc.
AE
Until
a
little
plot
started,
pop
up
called
Eddington
and
even
insomnia
took
me
to
the
northwest
Cambridge
environmental
statement
from
March
2012
volume
1,
which
actually
is
more
interesting
than
it
sounds,
and
what
this
really
opened
my
eyes
to
actually
and
why
I
find
the
clear
shift
away
from
her
away
from
pesticides
towards
herbicides.
In
this
moment,
quite
disappointing
is
that
it
really
testify
the
material
benefits,
the
environment
of
removing
high
density
agricultural
use
of
pesticides
at
Eddington.
AE
As
many
of
you
probably
aware,
the
aim
of
the
development
Allah
plan,
the
regulations
were
to
put
high
environmental
standards
at
the
forefront
of
that
development,
and
it
is
noted
in
their
environmental
report
that
actually
was
drawing.
The
hefty
pesticide
use
was
a
huge
benefit
in
the
environment
there
and
the
biodiversity,
but
also
the
report
testifies
to
the
risk
of
contamination,
so
around
Eddington
they
sought
to
build
wildflower
meadows.
They
have
the
pond
which
the
real
Haven
and
actually
the
risk
of
contamination
from
the
soil
into
the
water.
AE
The
leaching
process
was
a
real
issue
in
establishing
that
official
that
it
was
safe
to
establish
biodiversity,
so
I
do
find
it.
There
is
strange
to
see
that
this
amendment
is
making
very
deliberate
shift
away
from
pesticides,
particularly
because,
within
that
we
also
include
insecticides,
as
it's
been
alluded
to,
we
have
a
biodiversity
emergency
and
actually
insects
are
the
plank
of
biodiversity
they're,
a
way
of
hugely
promoting
growth
and
biodiversity
in
our
environment.
AE
So
not
addressing
that
issue
here,
I
think,
is
a
real
omission,
I'm
also
interested
to
see
which
parts
here
are
emitted
or
amended
due
to
you
what
is
pursue
to
be
factual
errors,
for
example,
the
point
about
exposure
to
pesticides
being
associated
with
human
disease,
harm
to
wildlife
and
contamination
for
Natural
Resources
have
interest
to
know
what
the
executive
councilor
feels
to
be
incorrect
about
that
statement.
I,
don't
believe
it
is
so
once
again,
man
where
we
have
an
amendment
which
takes
away
the
real
heart
of
the
issue.
AE
It
takes
world
through
it
the
way
the
real
crisis
we
are
facing
and
also
removes
any
stipulation
for
targets
and
for
accountability.
We've
declared
several
emergencies
in
this
chamber
and
for
both
of
those
with
banded
words
of
when
the
target
should
be.
It
will
be
nice
to
see
the
ruling
group
allowance
us.
We
have
accountable
for
the
changes
they
wish
to
make
Thank
You.
N
Yes,
just
two,
it's
easier
first
under
just
just
to
speak
about
the
pesticide
issue,
so
I
probably
ought
to
add
something
about.
You
know
why
we
might
need
to
use
pesticides
in
exceptional
circumstances,
and
this
is
just
based
on
my
own
practical
experience,
working
local
gov,
I'm,
managing
open
spaces.
In
my
time
we
used
to
use
herbicides
and
pesticides
quite
a
lot,
and
I
am
actually
trained
in
the
use
of
pesticides,
because
in
order
to
employ
contactors,
we
used
to
have
to
have
the
certificates
ourselves.
When
the
when
I
took
the
training.
N
N
We
know
now
that
that's
not
true,
but
it
kind
of
demonstrates
the
way
that
views
about
herbicides
are
changing.
In
the
old
days
there
were
chemicals
like
DDT,
which
they
used
to
apply.
You
know
huge
quantities,
huge
volumes
and
gradually
those
pesticides
became
outlawed
and
we're.
Now,
in
that
situation
with
glyphosate,
we
know
that
it's
becoming
you
know.
We
know
the
dangers
about
it
and
some
of
the
issues
to
do
with
crops.
N
But
there
will
be
occasions
when
we
need
to
use
it
I
suspect,
to
assist
the
biodiversity
of
other
areas
like,
for
example,
on
a
wildflower
meadow
or
perhaps
on
a
sports
pitch
I
used
to
use
it
around
the
base
of
trees
to
stop
weed
competition
so
that
trees
and
young
saplings
could
grow
healthily.
So
I
think
we
do
need
to
embody
this
aspect.
We
do
need
to
make
sure
that
there
are
exceptional
circumstances
that
allow
us
to
use
pesticides.
N
M
Thank
you
so,
just
to
reply
to
councilor
Cheney's
point
about
exposure
to
pesticides
is
associated
with
human
disease,
why's
that
been
removed
well,
because
exposure
to
pests
is
also
associated
with
human
disease
and,
as
councilor
smart
has
already
mentioned,
the
council
does
run
a
free
pesticides,
pest
control,
pest
control
service
to
all
residents.
So
things
like
rats
things
like
cockroaches.
The
way
that
we
deal
with
them
is
with
the
use
of
pesticides,
and
that
is
to
for
the
benefit
of
human
health,
so
I'm
sure
the
members
opposite.
M
A
V
Wanted
to
express
my
concern,
having
spoken
at
the
last
meeting
about
a
group
that
was
declaring
a
climate
emergency
and
then
deciding
to
set
targets
based
on
what
they
thought
they
might
be
able
to
achieve,
not
what
we
need
to
do
and
then
declaring
a
biodiversity
crisis
and
submitting
a
late
amendment.
Removing
all
mention
of
insecticides,
which
is
what
is
at
the
heart
of
the
biodiversity
crisis.
Pollinating
index
are
collapsing
and
if
they
go,
we
go.
D
Well,
III,
don't
know
which
city
councillor
summer
bow
actually
inhabits.
Sometimes
if
we
actually
look
at
what
has
been
done-
and
this
is
where
the
motion
and
fell
into
a
problem-
the
motion
talked
about
pesticides.
We,
our
issue
as
a
city,
does
include
insecticides,
but
the
main
issue
that
we
have
is
it
with
the
use
of
a
herbicide,
and
that
is
the
one
that
causes
the
greatest
impact
on
biodiversity
in
our
parks
and
also
in
the
way
that
the
County
Council
specifies
a
contract
on
verges.
D
So
council
summer
Bell
is
award
councillor
with
councillor
Thornborough
I
think
you
should
be
more
generous
to
his
fellow
ward
councillor,
because
in
three
months,
she's
implemented
a
policy
on
our
public
open
spaces
to
end
the
use
of
glyphosate.
So
there's
an
achievement.
Councillor
Sanibel!
Isn't
that
good
the
the
issue?
The
issue
with
the
county
council
is:
we
will
a
aim
to
convince
and
change
their
position,
and
then
we
have
the
option
cancer
summer
bell
to
say
no.
Thank
you.
We're
not
going
to
implement.
C
D
Just
I'm
just
talking
to
the
mayor
at
the
moment,
councillor
McGarrity
I
was
at
that
moment.
He
just
raised
it
and
then
kept
may
as
I've
just
said,
when
councillor
McGirt
he
interrupted
me,
we
have
the
option
of
saying
to
the
County
Council.
We
do
not
wish
to
implement
life,
phosphates
on
verges
and
and
therefore
it's
up
to
them,
but
it's
our
position
that
we
should
end
life
phosphate
news
on
verges.
Thank
you.
A
C
Don't
worry,
I'll
read
from
the
paper
sure
like
me,
many
members
present
will
have
come
into
counsel,
motivated
not
only
by
the
big
issues
facing
our
city,
but
also
by
the
issues
that
might
more
readily
be
referred
to
as
common
irritants
like
littering
or
bad
parking
or
the
group
opposite.
Perhaps
the
kind
of
issues
we
said,
I
didn't
scrape
that
bit.
Do
you
like
it?
The
kind
of
issues
we
see
every
day
but
which
have
a
cumulative
impact
on
our
enjoyment
of
city
life
and
that's
the
reason
that
members
may
have
noticed
in
committee.
C
So
I
think
this
is
a
really
serious
issue
that
people
come
out
their
front
doors
and
they
see
this
every
morning
and
yes,
there's
another
wise,
beautiful,
green
and
open
space
and
I.
Thank
you
for
its
otherwise
excellent
maintenance.
So
I
open
spoke
directly
to
her,
how
rude
of
me
and
I
apologize
I
thank
the
open
spaces
team
for
their
otherwise
excellent
maintenance.
C
But
when
I
look
at
this
picture,
it
really
does
make
me
ashamed
of
this
city
because
you
see
it
everywhere
and
we
have
to
stop
making
our
own
city
look
like
this
and
that's
why?
Because
it's
not
actually
that
complicated!
You
see
manually
trimming
around
those
fence
posts
instead
of
walking
past
them
with
a
barrel
of
chemicals,
strapped
to
your
back.
It
takes
about
the
same
amount
of
effort.
C
It
takes
about
the
same
amount
of
time
and
it's
not
if
that's
not
appropriate
in
some
areas,
then
if
it
ends
up
looking
a
little
bit
Wilder
madam
mayor
well,
people
have
actually
been
telling
us
loud
and
clear
that
they're,
ok
with
that,
it's
certainly
better
than
the
previous
bare
earth
scourge
policy.
Isn't
it
and
having
passed.
The
motion
declaring
a
biodiversity
emergency
at
our
previous
meeting.
This
is
the
perfect
time
for
us
to
impart
some
vigor
into
those
efforts,
which
is
why
I
do
welcome
the
motion
and
aspects
of
the
amendments.
C
But
it's
why
I
also
regret
the
leading
groups
refusal
to
adopt
a
wider
strategy
for
a
pesticide
free
city,
which
includes
any
sort
of
clear,
objective
and
targets.
When
will
this
administration
come
out
of
its
unambitious
slumber
and
start
to
provide
some
actual
political
leadership
in
Cambridge?
Our
complex
local
government
demands
cross-party
and
cross
authority
working,
but
it
also
needs
leadership.
Madam
mayor
and
Cambridge.
Isn't
that
so
that
Cambridge
isn't
forgotten
in
that
process
and
the
lack
of
it
has
just
been
added
to
my
list
of
common
irritants.
Thank
You
Madame.
X
X
I
have
with
them
and
their
advice
about
how
they
manage
the
spaces
and
I
don't
want
any
pest
I,
don't
want
anything
used
on
the
soils
and
in
our
open
spaces
at
all,
but
in
exceptional
circumstances
I
have
been
advised,
it
may
be
necessary
and
by
not
putting
in
the
clause
about
exceptional
use,
we
will
be
stopping
them
from
doing
things
which
will
is
unacceptable
and
I
did
question
this
and
it
will
be
exceptional.
If
we
are
to
use
any
pesticides
it
will
be.
X
We
will
notify
people
in
advance
about
the
about
what
is
to
come.
It
is
not
going
to
be
on
an
ad
hoc,
okay,
you
know
every
now
and
then
it
will.
Certainly
it
would
be
exceptional
and
people
will
be
warned
and
notified
in
advance.
So
I'm
pleased
to
take
the
listen
to
the
officers
dealing
with
this
and
to
insert
this
because
I
I
think
it's
the
right
thing
to
do
going
forward
and
also
the
Burges.
We
can't
just
stop
overnight.
X
I've
been
told.
It
was
the
verge
as
well
and
the
we
are
not
going
to
so.
We
are
working
with
the
highways
and
we
intend
to
eliminate
the
use
of
herbicides
on
the
verges
as
well
the
exposure
to
the
pesticides
clause.
The
reason
I
took
that
out
was
because
it's
not
fully
it
referre
is
too
broad
and
I
generally
agree
with
the
comment,
but
I
don't
believe.
It's
been
proven
in
all
cases
that
all
pesticides
have
that
danger
and
I
just
felt
it
was
open
to
challenge
and
therefore
should
be
removed.
AD
You,
madam
air,
so
I
think
I
would
echo
the
executive
councils
thanks
the
streets
and
open
spaces
team
I.
Don't
think
this
debate
has
been
anything
but
respectful
to
the
good
work
that
they
do.
What
I
would
suggest
is
that
the
complexity
of
the
argument
on
both
sides
and
the
number
of
good
issues
raised,
for
example,
by
my
colleagues,
opposites
about
rodenticides
and
the
necessary
use
of
them.
A
AF
T
A
A
A
A
R
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
madam
mayor
I'm,
aware
that
universal
basic
income
is
confusing
to
some
people,
so
I
thought
I
would
explain
the
very
simple
idea
in
which
it
lies
behind.
It
is
that
every
citizen
should
receive
a
regular
income
from
the
states,
regardless
of
their
circumstances.
The
idea
itself
is
not
a
new
one.
It
has
roots
in
the
16th
century,
when
Thomas
More
argued
for
Universal
payments
for
those
living
in
poverty,
a.
R
We
all
know
that
the
average
real
wages
have
stagnated
following
the
world
financial
crisis
and
that
we
have
a
both
of
both
a
skill
shortage
in
areas
of
growth,
as
well
as
excess
capacity
and
less
relevant
skills.
We
are
also
experiencing
rising
inequality.
The
hollowing
of
the
labor
market
and
the
rise
of
one
wage
workplaces
along
sides
are
likely
fall
in
the
demand
for
labor
supply
due
to
technology
changes.
R
R
Ubi
is
often
regarded
as
a
radical
departure
from
existing
welfare
systems,
and
it
may
well
be
necessary
to
meet
the
challenges
of
the
future
work.
There
are
many
versions
of
ubi
there
have
been
set
up
in
Finland,
California,
Kenya
and
fair.
The
pilots
planned
for
Scotland,
as
well
as
a
number
of
other
cities
around
the
world.
R
Each
pilot
varies
with
respect
to
eligibility
to
certain
groups,
the
amounts
of
sustenance
allowances
and
where
the
funding
for
the
ubi
comes
from
a
ubi
base.
Tax
benefit
system
responds
automatically
as
people
find
themselves
in
and
out
of
work
or
change
their
hours,
as
well
as
providing
security
for
people
work
working
minimum
hours
making
their
lives.
Excuse
me
a
little
less
precarious.
R
It
is
believed
that
universal
basic
income
would
increase
the
financial
incentives
to
find
work
and
would
lead
to
better
matching
of
workers
to
allow
people
the
time
to
retrain
without
the
fear
of
no
financial
support.
A
well-funded,
ubi
I
would
redistribute
more
resources
at
a
time
when
we
see
more
and
more
people,
afraid
of
losing
their
job
and
the
increase
in
less
secure
forms
of
work.
Madam
mayor
Cambridge
is
a
radical
city
and
we
have
one
of
the
biggest
levels
of
inequalities
in
our
country.
R
We
are
calling
on
the
next
Labour
government
and
John
MacDonald's
as
our
next
Chancellor
to
ensure
that
Cambridge
is
chosen
as
one
of
the
pilus
areas
for
universal
basic
income.
We
are
also
calling
on
the
current
governments
to
match
the
shadow
chancellors
pledged
now
and
ensure
Cambridge
is
considered
for
this
pilot.
Finally,
we
are
calling
on
our
local
MPs
to
do
the
same.
R
R
Universal
basic
income
will
reduce
pressures
on
families,
madam
mayor,
which
have
resulted
from
the
rollout
of
Universal
Credit
a
welfare
system
which
has
been
called
out
several
times
for
its
failures.
This
is
a
radical,
forward-thinking
proposal
for
a
radical,
forward-thinking,
City
and
I
urge
you
to
support
this
motion.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
E
Thanks,
madam
and
the
place
the
place
that
I
would
tend
to
go
on
a
subject
like
this,
for
a
view
is
the
Joseph
Rowntree
Foundation,
which
is,
as
many
members
will
know,
a
social
research
organisation
with
an
impeccable
reputation
and
record
are
on
anti-poverty
matters
and
what
I?
What
I
found
there
on
this
when
I
looked
for?
It
was
a
rather
country
view
to
the
one
expressed
in
councilor
McQueen's
motion
and
I'd
quote.
E
It
is
not
affordable,
unpalatable
to
most
of
the
public
because
of
its
money
for
nothing
tagged
and
perhaps,
most
importantly,
it
increases
poverty
unless
modified
beyond
recognition.
It
fails
to
deal
with
the
higher
needs
that
many
have
because
of
rent
childcare,
children
or
disabilities.
Those
are
my
views.
This
is
so
I'm,
quoting
from
the
Joseph
Rowntree
foundation.
The
foundation
also
points
out
that
the
most
recent
major
trial
of
this
in
Finland
has
been
aborted
a
best.
E
There
are
mixed
views
about
ubi
amongst
serious
professionals
in
the
field
and
based
on
the
variety
of
different
types
of
outcome
that
have
happened
when
it's
been
tried,
so
I
am
surprised
that
labor
members
would
want
to
cheerlead
an
adventure
into
ubi
and,
in
particular,
would
want
to
risk
imposing
it
on
our
city.
Even
before
there
has
been
an
extensive
effort
to
promote
good
public
understanding
and
hold
a
public
debate
about
it.
There
are
profound
and
widespread
implications
for
the
whole
population
from
anything
resembling
a
meaningful
version
of
ubi
and
I.
E
E
If
we
did
get
to
the
stage
of
a
trial
of
ubi
I,
don't
think
it
would
be
good
research
to
just
allocate
a
trial
to
a
place
where
a
council
passed
a
motion
about
it.
Trials
of
this
sort
are
serious
business
and
would
need
to
conform
to
sensible
representative
sampling
conditions
defined
by
research
statisticians,
and
it's
clear
that
Cambridge
would
love
to
talk
about
a
trial.
There
are
lots
of
us
who
would
love
to
do
that,
but
with
its
extremely
low
level
of
unemployment,
it
may
may
not
represent
good
sampling
conditions
and
I.
E
Don't
think
we
are
frankly
in
the
best
place
to
judge
I.
Think
much
more
important
for
us,
as
the
Joseph
Rowntree
Foundation
itself
says,
is
to
make
significant
and
radical
improvements
to
the
welfare
benefit
system
that
we
have
got,
which
has
frankly
been
emasculated
since
nineteen
twenty
fifteen
by
the
massive
cuts.
M
More
thank
you,
chair
I,
just
very
quickly
like
to
say
that
I
support
this
motion,
not
just
for
all
the
things
that
councilor
McQueen
has
said,
but
also
if
we
are
going
to
solve
the
climate
emergency,
we
need
drastic
change
to
the
way
that
we
live
and
work
will
be
an
important
part
of
that.
There
have
been
a
lot
of
recommendations
that
we
should
move
to
a
four-day
week.
I
do
not
see
how
we're
going
to
do
that
under
the
current
system.
This
would
enable
people
to
have
enough
money
to
live.
M
They
would
then
perhaps
not
need
to
keep
working,
keep
pushing
with
services
buying
things
encouraging
others
to
buy
things
that
actually
we
don't
need.
We
need
a
drastic
change
and
I
support.
This
motion,
I,
would
also
just
say,
although
we
do
have
low
levels
of
unemployment,
we're
a
very
unequal
City.
M
So
we
do
have
people
who
are
employed,
but
maybe
they
don't
get
to
see
their
children
very
often,
because
they're
working
three
jobs
to
be
able
to
afford
to
live
in
this
city-
and
maybe
one
of
those
or
two
of
those
jobs
actually
is
creating
more
consumption
that
damages
the
planet.
So
this
would
enable
people
to
step
back,
have
perhaps
have
a
slower
life
I'd
be
able
to
afford
things
and
save
the
planet.
S
And
and
I
also
have
had
friendly
representations
from
fellow
counselors,
so
I
unreservedly
withdraw
the
remarks
which
I
made
about
readings.
If
that
is
what
is
required,
I
Who
am
I
to
argue,
but
I
do
ask
people
who
read
speeches
to
try
and
animate
them
try
and
make
the
word
live
rather
than
sound
dead.
I.
S
This
is
one
of
the
features
which
the
Finns
have
gone
in
for
and
I
think
it's
something
that
we,
the
problem
with
getting
in
touch
with
John
McDonnell,
is
that
labour
is
full
of
good
ideas
about
changing
this
society.
But
the
prospects
under
the
present
leadership
of
a
Labour
government
coming
into
being
are
so
low.
That
I
think
we
must
regard
labour
as
being
a
betrayal
of
its
own
ideals.
A
N
N
So
just
from
from
her
interest,
there
are
other
schemes,
there's
one
in
India
and
that's
been
shown
to
be
very
successful,
which
has
involved
thousands
of
people
that
the
video
that
I
watched,
which
was
quite
a
high-level
debate
by
experts
in
the
field,
said
that
it
involved
tens
of
thousands
of
people.
So
it
has
been
proven
to
be
work
to
work
other
things
that
they
said
in
support
of
this
idea.
N
You
know
there's
a
bit
of
distrust
around
things
like
benefits
and
the
way
that
some
people
can
be
unfairly
assessed
for
benefits
for
things
like
the
Universal
Credit,
what
was
PIP
and
so
on,
and
this
sort
of
idea
that
perhaps
the
system
could
be
corrupt.
You
know,
and
corruption
was
a
big
argument,
that
proponents
of
the
the
this
system
said
are
in
its
favor,
because
there's
no
corruption
involved
if
everybody
gets
the
same.
N
Yes,
but
also
reduce
the
burden
on
the
state
in
terms
of
how
much
we
pay
out
so
I
think
we
definitely
should
be
looking
at
this,
which
definitely
should
be
putting
ourselves
forward.
As
a
pilot
like
councillor
McQueen
says,
we
are
a
very
good
place
to
do
that,
because
we
have
got
these
problems
with
inequality,
the
most
unequal
city
in
Western
Europe.
N
You
know,
according
to
news
night,
that
was
on
them
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
and
largely
because
we've
got
such
a
high
level
of
high
income
in
this
city
higher
earners.
So,
let's
see
those
high
earners
contribute.
Let's
give
people
a
leg
up,
let's
deploy
some
radical
policies.
Let's
see
what
a
Labour
government
can
do
and
let's
be
part
of
the
solution.
I
I
would
urge
you
to
support
class
and
McQueen's
motion.
Universal
basic
income
could
offer
a
genuine
opportunity
to
tackle
the
inequality
that,
sadly,
is
so
endemic
within
our
city.
Why?
Because
it
offers
psychological
and
practical
security
to
all
it's
enough
when
implemented
properly,
to
prevent
destitution,
but
not
enough
to
preclude
people
seeking
work.
Pilots
and
trials
across
the
world
appear
to
indicate
this
is
valuable
and
worth
following.
I
Particularly
interesting
is
a
pilot
that
was
undertaken
in
the
City
of
London,
where,
by
a
charity,
called
Broadway,
run
Universal
making
come
with
rough
sleepers
a
year
on
nine
of
the
11
people
involved
were
in
work
and
off
the
streets.
There
are
lots
of
examples
of
where
of
organizations
that
are
doubtful
of
this
they're,
also,
equally
lots
of
organizations
that
indicate
that
it
might
work
the
Royal
Society
of
Arts
might
be
an
alternative
to
the
Joseph
Rowntree
Foundation.
I
O
Thank
You
Madame
we've
always
been
accused
on
this
side
of
not
trying
to
help
out
those
in
need
anew.
We
have
a
perfect
example
of
a
system
that
could
help
those
in
need
and
which
interesting
counts.
The
big
pointed
out,
you
know,
let's
look
at
the
Roundtree
foundation,
because
this
is
where
we
go
to
to
find
out
what
we
need.
It
was
interesting.
He
didn't
call
the
fact
that
the
Roundtree
foundation
weren't
keen
on
bedroom
tax
would
that
didn't
stop
the
Lib
Dems
agreeing
to
world
and
making
people
in
poverty
and
almost.
A
W
Thank
you
as
a
historian
who
studied
the
history
of
development.
Social
policy
I
also
tend
to
go
for
the
Joseph
Rowntree
Foundation
for
quite
a
lot
of
my
information,
because
Joseph
Rowntree
was
so
key
in
developing
a
lot
of
the
policies
that
we
hold
to
and
I
did
read
the
blog
entry
that
Kurt
syllabic
was
referring
to,
but
I
also
took
a
lot
of
really
interesting
information
from
their
program
paper.
Now
you
know,
I
commissioned
a
lot
of
blogs
who
work
there
often
thought
pieces.
W
They
raise
its
the
practical
issue
of
having
a
really
vibrant
public
bate
about
some
of
the
ways
in
which
we
would
have
to
address
that
inequality,
because
if
some
people
are
getting
more,
some
people
are
going
to
have
to
pay
more,
and
some
people
are
going
to
complain
about
that.
And
that's
the
major
thing
that
this
paper
brings
out
is
simply.
This
is
going
to
be
difficult.
People
won't
like
it
and
it's
raising
that
as
a
concern.
And
understandably
you
know
you
we
have
to
accept
the
practicalities
of
that.
But
I'd
say
that's
an
argument.
W
W
Think
the
other
thing
on
pilots
is:
it's
not
always
the
case
that
you
have
a
kind
of
statistically
sampled,
random
pilot,
I'm
involved
in
piloting
a
lot
of
qualifications
and
training,
work
and
all
sorts
of
things
that
we
do
in
our
organization,
and
sometimes
we
go
for
that
approach,
and
sometimes
we
often
will
go
for
inviting
people
to
participate
in
pilots,
because
you
want
to
see
initially
how
something
works
with
a
group.
That's
really
excited
about
it,
because
it's
not
going
to
work
with
them.
V
I
certainly
support
many
of
the
objectives
of
what
has
been
raised
and
why
this
has
been
proposed.
I
think
the
technicalities
and
the
details
of
it
are
complex
and
I.
Don't
pretend
to
fully
understand
them.
What
I
would
like
to
say
is
I
think
it's
fantastic
to
see
the
other
side
showing
some
radical
thinking
when
it
comes
to
ideas
about
climate
change
and
if
they
could
apply
that
level
of
radical
thinking
to
the
areas
that
they
actually
have
direct
control
of
then
councilor
Herbert
would
find
my
criticisms.
Turning
into
full-throated
support.
F
A
AB
AB
When
we
debate
on
this
issue,
we
have
to
relate
what
what
we
have
at
this
point
in
time.
The
current
system,
most
people
of
the
city
and
those
people
who
need
help
and
support
from
the
state,
has
almost
come
to
a
conclusion
that
the
universal
carrot-
it's
not
working
for
them.
The
universal
credit.
In
my
mind,
a
system
that
destroys
welfare
system
of
this
country.
AB
AB
This
motion
suggest
having
a
system
where
all
people
get
help
and
support
from
the
state
when
they
need
help
and
support.
Official
figures
shows
back
from
2010
child
poverty
has
increased
half
a
million,
eight
million
people
are
in
work
and
in
poverty
and
many
of
middle
income
families
are
facing
difficulties.
AB
AB
Hundreds
of
people
who
are
put
on
universal
courage
could
not
pay
their
bills
because
their
benefit
has
been
cut
or
delayed,
and
the
system
is
causing
misery
to
the
lives
of
the
people.
Look
at
the
way
in
which
child
poverty
is
growing
in
this
country.
The
concept
of
universal
credit
is
a
concept
of
food
bank
state.
AB
AB
Let
me
quote:
UN
reporter
states,
UN
Rapporteur
says
that
the
social
safety
net
in
this
country
has
been
deliberately
removed
and
replaced
with
the
harsh
and
uncaring
Atos.
Therefore,
madam
Speaker,
the
universal
credit
is
not
sustainable
system.
We
need
a
system,
a
system
of
welfare
state,
not
a
food
bank
state.
Therefore,
I
support
this
motion.
We
need
to
change
a
change
for
the
betterment
of
the
poor
sections
of
society.
Thank
you.
A
R
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
and
so
my
reply
to
the
Trussell
report
that
you
just
quoted
and
I
think
it
was
mainly
talking
about
the
finland's
model
and
the
reason
why
yeah,
sorry,
with
the
reason
why
it
was
pulled
after
a
year,
was
because
they
were
paying
a
living
wage.
This
pilot
is
is
focused
on
covering
the
basic
costs
of
living,
so
people
then
have
that
security
net.
R
A
year's
living
wage
all
in
one
go
and
I
think
it
was
about
five
families
and
all
of
those
families
went
on
to
opening
their
own
businesses
gaining
consistent,
employments.
It
works
and
and
I
think
that
you
know
Cambridge
is
a
small
city.
We
can
monitor
it
closely
and
much
more
effectively
than
than
one
of
the
big
cities
and-
and
yes,
so
I
urge
everybody
to
support
this
motion,
and
thank
you
very
much,
madam
mayor.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Okay.
We
now
go.
We
turn
to
the
motion
on
each
hospice
agenda
item
6c
to
be
considered
by
the
council,
which
can
be
found
on
pages
3,
&
4
of
the
agenda.
I
call
on
councilor
Massey
to
move
the
motion
and
understand
that
counselor
Hadley
will.
Second
the
motion.
You
have
10
minutes
between
you.
G
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
mayor
I'm,
hoping
to
get
to
the
bottom
of
my
speech,
but
I
might
get
a
bit
emotional.
So
please
forgive
me
if
I
do
just
sit
down
and
shut
up.
We
are
very
lucky
here
in
kbreeze
to
be
served
by
the
East
Anglia
Children's
Hospital,
that's
based
in
Milton
just
outside
the
city.
Each
provides
much-needed
care
and
support
to
many
families
in
the
city
and
around
East
Anglia
in
general.
G
They
currently
care
for
three
hundred
and
seventy-one
children
and
young
firm,
they're
young
people
and
385
family
members
that
received
the
face-to-face
support.
As
the
motion
says,
the
children
hospices
across
the
UK
have
been
struggling
with
increasing
costs.
There
was
a
four
point:
five
increase
in
the
amount
that
children,
hospices,
Charities
spent
each
year
to
meet
the
needs
of
sucio
children
than
their
families
between
2016
and
17
and
18
and
19.
G
This
combination
of
falling
funding
and
increasing
costs
is
hitting
our
most
vulnerable
children
and
their
families.
A
Children's
Hospice
in
Birmingham
has
already
announced
proposals
to
close
and
is
citing
the
uncertainty
over
funding
as
one
of
the
deciding
factors
before
everybody
panics,
and
that
we
are
lucky
there
here
in
Cambridge
that
has
their
hospices
in
our
region
are
not
under
any
current
threat
of
closure,
but
it
is
simply
not
sustainable
to
expect,
especially
children's
palliative
care
services
provided
by
children's
hospices,
to
be
funded
by
charity
of
generosity
of
the
public.
G
The
care
that
children's
hospices
like
each
provides
is
so
important
to
the
well-being
of
so
many
families
and
the
hospices
well-being
team
helped
will
help
1416
sessions
of
care
in
2017,
18
and
in
totally
Sangha
Region
6514.
That's
wellbeing
sessions
not
paid
for
by
the
NHS
or
any
of
our
other
clinics.
They
provide
care
and
outreach
for
families
and
children
who
are
life
limited,
and
this
doesn't
actually
necessarily
mean
that
these
children
are
terminally
ill.
G
It
just
literally
means
that
their
life
limited
they
can't
achieve
whatever
else
can
was
going
to
be
able
to
achieve
or
they
were
going
to
struggle
and
when
you
have
a
child,
a
complex
needs
simply
going
shopping,
takes
a
huge
amount
of
planning
or
you
don't
bother
going.
You
end
up
getting
delivery
going
to
a
school
event
with
a
complex
child
can
be
impossible
and
the
hospices
support
the
whole
family,
including
siblings,
and
their
home,
and
help
from
home
schemes.
I
mean
that
volunteers
come
into
the
family
home
to
provide
them
support.
G
So
you
can
go
shopping,
you
can
go
to
the
school
events
and,
more
importantly,
do
the
ironing
that
you
never
get
to
do
or
maybe
cook.
As
you
may
already
know,
I
lost
my
youngest
son
when
he
was
three
years
old
in
2013.
He
had
complex
disabilities
and
needs
after
he
was
born
16
weeks
early.
The
first
time
someone
spoke
to
me
about
a
hospice
to
get
respite.
Care
was
to
say
for
his
first
birthday
and
I
was
really
baffled
as
why
on
earth.
G
They
were
going
to
talk
to
me
about
putting
my
child
in
a
hospice
because
that's
where
people
go
to
die
and
my
child
wasn't
dying
I.
Well,
they
didn't
really
understand.
Then
it
was
all
the
other
care
services
they
could
offer
and
the
rest
by
and
the
support
so
I
just
spent
three
years,
not
sleeping
and
but
my
experience
of
Children's
Hospice
is
now
it's
all
ours
in
Milton
and
it's
wonderful,
caring,
loving
and
a
sad
experience.
G
G
They
helped
that,
with
the
transition
from
the
carer,
fighting
constantly
fighting
to
keep
the
son
alive
to
that
product
of
care
which
isn't
very
easy,
because
you
suddenly
have
to
realize
that
you're
not
allowed
to
do
those
tests
anymore.
You
know
point
checking,
freeze
oxygen
levels,
because
if
it's
low
you're
simply
not
going
to
do
anything
to
fix
it,
you've
just
gotta
deal
with
what
he
got
to
deal
with.
G
I,
don't
think
I
eat
properly
for
all
of
those
years
and,
as
ever,
my
gorgeous
boy
surprised
us
all,
because
at
the
end
of
the
two
year,
two
weeks,
it's
pretty
clear,
I
wasn't
going
to
go
anywhere
other
than
home
with
me.
So
within
two
weeks
notice
with
days
really,
there
helped
arrange
for
the
equipment
such
as
a
special
wheelchair
and
bed.
So
I
could
bring
my
boy
home.
G
They
helped
arrange
physiotherapy
sessions
at
home
and
occupational
health
is
it's
all
within
those
two
weeks,
none
of
which
we
had
to
rely
on
the
NHS
for
for
weeks
later,
when
the
day
came,
when
we
knew
it
was
going
to
be
his
last,
they
were
also
with
me,
hold
you
in
my
hand
and
help
him
with
the
advice
and
finally
helped
to
take
my
son
to
the
hospice
after
he
passed
and
allowed
him
to
remain
in
his
room.
The
staff
are
amazing
and
we
should
cherish
every
single
Children's
Hospice
that
we
have
better
and
fairer.
G
Finally,
we
do
owe
such
a
huge
thank
you
to
the
East
Anglia
Children's
Hospice
for
serving
ours,
that
for
thirty
years,
their
anniversaries,
this
August
and
if
I
would
I
could
say,
thank
you
over
and
over
and
over
again
to
them.
Well,
I
do
a
lot,
but
I
also
know
that
the
staff
at
the
hospice
will
be
absolutely
thrilled
if
we
could,
as
a
council,
send
over
my
appreciation
of
their
amazing
work
and
surface
to
Marchetta
city.
Thank
you.
A
P
Think
we
are
blessed
to
have
the
sick,
Children's
Trust
at
Eichen
house
and
to
also
have
the
other
children's
ward
in
Milton
and
I
was
involved
in
both
of
them.
In
my
previous
capacity
as
mayor
and
I,
see,
I
was
very
impressed
by
the
hard
work
that
the
staff
is
doing.
I
was
impressed
by
the
bravery
of
those
children
who
have
a
limited
life
and
everything
we
can
do
to
help
them.
P
It
would
be
a
plus,
definitely
and
I
would
like
to
share
with
you
one
mother
who
was
very
brave,
and
she
said
to
me
and
I
said
that
before
she
said,
God
gave
me
my
little
daughter
and
she
was
like
a
snowflake
in
my
palm
and
I
had
her
for
24
months,
and
then
she
melted
away.
So
please,
let's
support
those
two,
the
snowflakes
and
they
may
make
their
life
a
bit
better.
Thank
You.
V
Don't
think,
madam
mayor,
that
I
can
underline
the
importance
and
the
identity
of
the
work
that
the
staff
at
hospices
do
better
than
the
speech.
That's
the
very
moving
speech
that
cancer
Massey
has
made
so
I
will
say
no
more
and
to
thank
you
for
that
and
to
say
that
I
think
it's
lamentable
that
they
are
facing
any
kind
of
uncertainty,
because
that
uncertainty
and
the
future
planning
is
the
last
thing
they
need
and
anything
we
can
do.
The
council
can
do
to
support
their
work
should
be
done.
Thank.
R
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
and
a
really
warm
thank
you
to
council
a
mercy
that
was
very,
very
brave.
What
you
did
very
very
touching
and
I
urge
everyone
to
support
this
motion.
I'm
sure
they
all
are
gonna.
You
know
to
underline
the
importance
of
having
this
service
and
thank
you
for
sharing
that
with
us.
A
H
Thank
you
madam
there
and
we're
gonna
read
again:
I
apologize
and
I'd
like
to
thank
counselor
Massie
for
bringing
this
motion
today
and
for
speaking
from
the
bottom
of
her
heart,
highlighting
the
work
of
children's
hospices
for
creating
this
opportunity
to
consider
the
love,
support
and
individual
care
places
like
East
Anglia.
Children's
hospices
offer
I'd
like
to
draw
attention
to
the
outreach
work
that
each
does
to
a
lot
of
each's.
H
Work
is
provided
out
of
the
hospice
and
into
people's
homes,
for
example,
in
2017
18
1416
sessions
of
care
were
dedicated
to
both
well-being,
support
and
help
at
home,
which
is
a
program
where
volunteers
help
with
practical
tasks
like
cooking
cleaning
and
ironing
and
Nicky
alluded
to
this
kind
of
care.
But
it's
organized
by
volunteers.
H
Each
have
also
been
very
effective
at
building
partnerships
with
other
organizations
in
the
community,
for
example,
if
it's
really
a
museum
where
I
work,
we
have
coffee
mornings
for
brief
families
and
their
sessions
organized
with
art,
therapists
and
family
art
activities
for
siblings,
of
those
with
complex
health
care
needs
and
they're,
amazing
and
amazing
work.
I
believe
we
all
need
to
work
in
our
personal,
professional
and
political
capacities
to
raise
awareness
of
this
disparity
in
government
between
adult
and
children's
hospices.
Something
I
wasn't
aware
of
until
Nicky
brought
this
motion
forward.
H
The
fundraising
successes
of
organizations
like
each
should
be
celebrated
and
commended,
but
at
the
same
time,
government
funding
for
hospices
fund
fundamental
services
must
be
protected
and
increased.
There
is
little
evidence,
none
that
this
government
will
protect
an
increase
funding.
Anything
we
can
do
such
as
this
motion.
Today
we
must
we
must
support
and
pass
Thank
You.
G
Yes,
thank
you
for
mentioning
about
the
difference
between
the
children's
hospices
and
the
adult
hospices.
I'm,
not
saying
that
adult
Hospice
is
getting
any
less
indeed
have.
All
of
them
need
to
get
more
adult
hospices
go,
and
on
average,
about
33%
statutory
funding
and
children's
hospices
on
average
get
about
15%.
G
Yes,
but
I
had
been
trying
for
the
past
year
to
actually
get
all
of
the
city
councillors
to
go
and
visit
Hospice,
so
I
will
try
again
this
year.
They
have
to
do
it
on
the
day
where
they
don't
have
lots
and
lots
of
children
for
obvious
reasons,
but
I
will
try
again
this
year
and
the
invite
would
be
open
to
all
councillors.
Thinking.
G
A
A
D
A
F
F
After
the
deadline
for
motions,
the
council
issued
a
press
release
two
hours
after
the
deadline
for
motions
indicating
that
they
were
pausing
the
process
in
relation
to
the
proposals
for
the
meadows
and
Street
and
also,
interestingly,
the
exited
councillor
then
followed
up
on
a
response
to
my
letter
to
him
of
the
22nd
of
June,
some
two
hours
later
after
the
press
release.
So
the
original
purpose
of
my
motion,
madam
mayor,
was
to
get
the
executive
councilor
to
pause
the
process
and
review
the
scheme,
something
that
he
was
not
prepared
to
do
in
housing
scrutiny.
F
F
The
council,
the
council,
madam
there
we
can
huffin
path,
but
the
council
has
other
options:
the
executive
councilor
for
housing,
for
example,
madam
mayor,
could
increase
the
percentage
of
council
housing
on
the
region
site.
Currently,
the
council
is
only
delivering
40
percent.
That's
the
same
as
any
private
developer.
F
I
have
madam
mayor
to
say
that
the
meadow
scheme
is
an
illustration
of
how
delivering
these
five
hundred
houses.
Council
houses
has
become
a
Dogma
for
the
ruling
group
steamrolling
through
any
opposition
on
anything.
It's
a
Dogma.
The
meadow
schemes
highlights
the
ruling
groups
double
standards.
They
call
for
green
open
space
to
be
kept
across
the
city,
such
as
in
Montreal
square.
Councillor.
F
Pagent
is
a
key
champion
of
that
scheme
in
terms
of
montreal
square
green
space
being
kept,
but
they're
quite
happy
quite
happy,
together
with
their
commercial
venture
commercial
partner
in
the
JV
to
actually
take
protected
a
green,
open
space
that
the
council
owns.
For
me,
madam
mayor,
there
should
be
no
difference.
All
green,
open
space
across
the
city
should
be
protected
from
development
and
I.
Hope.
Madam
mayor,
that
this
very
late
stage,
the
executive
councilor
will
adopt
that
approach
in
relation
to
the
meadows.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
A
A
A
K
His
original
motion
was
also
missing,
important
information
about
the
scheme,
why
it
is
proposed
to
build
100,
badly
needed
council
homes
in
the
north
of
the
city
and
what
further
steps
the
council
would
take
anyway,
following
the
conclusion
of
the
pre-planning
application,
the
consultation
process,
the
motion,
as
proposed
by
councilor
Cantrell,
probably
intentionally,
fails
to
explain
what
the
initial
scheme
plans
proposed
to
do
with
regards
to
st.
Albans
rec.
K
It
did
not
mention
that
80
at
least
85
percent
would
be
unaffected
that,
in
fact,
the
playing
pitches
would
be
improved
with
better
drainage
that
the
play
equipment
will
be
kept
and
there
will
be
a
number
of
biodiversity
improvements
around
the
ground.
The
amendment
makes
is
clear.
Second,
the
amendment
makes
clear
that
the
new
community
center
proposed
intimate
existing
functions
of
the
current
meadows
and
buckins
Street
sites
would
be
an
important
element
to
any
new
development.
A
modern
and
sustainable
low
carbon
building
fit
to
serve
the
existing
and
future
communities
of
north
Cambridge.
K
Third,
the
amendment
corrects
the
assertion
that
the
community
have
not
had
a
proper
opportunity
to
comment
on
the
proposals
we
have
extensively
can
engage
of
local
people.
Three
and
a
half
thousand
leaflets
delivered
plants
featured
in
Cambridge
matters
to
consultation.
Events
held
an
extended
consultation
period
on
the
issue
of
open
space
at
scene
opens
rec,
with
a
meeting
held
who
have
representatives
other
friends
have
seen
opens
direct
themselves.
Furthermore,
we
said
at
the
outset
that
we
would
listen
to
feedback
from
the
preprint
planning
application
before
we
submit
the
plans
for
for
more
scrutiny.
K
That
is
why
and
cancer
control
notices,
because
the
first
letter
I
wrote
to
him
that
we
have
confirmed
there
will
be
further
refinement
of
the
meadows
and
buckin
Street
proposals
in
order
to
improve
the
quality
of
the
design
and
make
best
use
of
musics
existing
footprints
at
the
meadows,
thereby
reducing
the
percentage
of
open
space
potentially
lost.
Once
revised
plans
are
ready,
we
will
engage
the
public
on
them
and
we
anticipate
submitting
the
application
playing
application
by
the
autumn.
K
In
any
case,
councillor
Cantrell
is
one
to
speak
about
consultation
exercises,
compare
and
contrast
our
approach
to
how
the
Liberal
Democrats
consulted
on
their
housing
schemes
as
I'm
sure
many
colleagues
here
will
remember
back
in
2013
and
14
when
residents
are
Arrow's
for
clothes
and
water
lane,
many
frail
and
elderly
made
it
clear.
They
did
not
want
to
move,
they
do
not
want
to
move
from
their
homes,
but
what
accounts
to
big
do
what
account
sir
Cantrell
say
and
others
who
around
at
the
time
they
said.
K
Y
Y
You
I
won't
know
that
I'm
speaking
here
as
a
counselor,
but
also
a
long-term
resident
of
Kings
hedges,
someone
who's
brought
up
a
family
in
the
area
and
remains
a
regular
user
of
the
REC.
Madam
a
there
are
two
issues
at
play
here:
housing
need
and
access
to
green
space
both
are
equally
important
as
counselors.
Our
task
is
to
achieve
an
effective
balance
between
the
two
we've
remained
as
a
group
committed
throughout
these
discussions
to
actively
listening
to
local
residents.
Y
As
emphasized
at
the
most
recent
meeting
of
the
North
Area
committee,
where
that
pledge
was
restated,
the
residents
were
committed
to
listening
to
also
include
those
that
we've
spoken
to
who
actively
welcome
and
support
the
development.
We
need
to
listen
to
them
too.
The
decision
to
delay
submitting
the
planning
application
to
allow
for
further
consultation
and
offices
efforts
to
explore
reducing
the
proportion
of
effects
of
green
space
on
San
Albans
rec,
so
that
they
have
listened
to
residents
concerns
and
their
willingness
to
work
with
the
local
community,
not
against
it.
Y
Y
These
redevelopment
schemes
will,
along
with
other,
create
other
schemes
across
the
city
in
the
south
as
well.
Not
just
the
north
go
a
long
way
towards
achieving
our
target
of
at
least
500
new
council
homes.
My
Ward
colleagues
and
I
regularly
talk
to
families
where
there
are
several
generations
living
together
in
cramped
conditions.
Y
Family
members
tell
us
that
they
want
to
remain
in
the
area
where
possible,
close
to
their
community
links
and
networks
and
their
support
systems.
The
redevelopment
of
the
meadow
site
will
enable
more
of
them
to
do
this.
It
will
help
foster
community
links,
not
disrupt
them.
So
I
therefore
recommend
councilor
Johnston's
amendment.
Q
Thank
you
very
much,
Madame
mayor,
yes,
sorry,
mark
I
will
try
and
leave
leave
leave
some
for
you
well
I,
I'm.
Speaking
against
the
original
motion,
disingenuous
bandwagon,
jumping
of
the
worst
kind.
In
my
view,
Madame
mayor
Councillor
council,
was
aware
of
the
pause
to
the
proceedings,
but
yet
still
proceed
pursued
this
motion.
Q
Madam
mayor,
in
this
very
chamber
nine
speakers,
nine
public
speakers
came
with
questions
relating
to
the
Lib
Dem
redevelopment
of
sites
across
the
city
included,
claire
blair,
john
Woodhouse,
former
mayor
of
Cambridge,
John,
Maury,
tenant,
representative
and
six
other
tenants.
Those
sites
were,
as
Ben
mentioned,
water
lane,
Aylesbury
close
Colville,
Road,
Camp,
King,
Road,
Litchfield
Road,
and
everyone
was
complaining
about
the
appalling
treatment
at
the
hands
of
the
then
ruling
group.
Q
We
were
told
by
that
Executive
Council
that
the
council
would
listen
to
the
residents,
but
they
never
did,
but
she
also
said
she
also
said
that
the
counsel
that
the
tenants
could
not
have
a
veto
on
the
scheme's
something
councillor,
Cantrell
think
seems
to
think-
should
apply
here.
This
redevelopment,
madam
mayor,
this,
this
redevelopment,
I'll
just
double
my
time,
because
I'll
keep
going,
does
not
involve
moving
elderly
vulnerable
people
out
of
their
homes.
I've
been
contacted
by
many
of
the
objectors
and
met
several
face
to
face
without
exception.
Q
Their
first
reason
given
for
objecting
was
their
perceived
increasing
crime
by
having
council
homes.
The
issue
of
loss
of
green
space
was
a
secondary
thought.
One
objector
to
buchan
Street
redevelopment
and
the
two
sites
are
linked
actually
said
in
a
meeting
that
he
didn't
want.
Council
housing
built
near
to
where
people
have
worked
hard
to
buy
their
homes.
That's
the
sort
of
level
of
debate
that
is
going
on
out
there.
Q
Madam
mayor
I,
find
it
hard
to
take
when
objections
to
building
homes
to
how
those
house,
those
most
in
need,
are
made
by
those
and
I'm
not
going
to
stop
already
adequately
housed,
and
in
this
case
by
some,
whose
homes
were
built
controversially
on
allotment
land,
a
definite
place
of
I'm.
Alright
Jack
pull
up
the
ladder.
O
Thank
you,
madam
oh
I
think
I
need
the
script
counselor
that
came
for
all
the
iniquitous
that's
gone
on.
First
of
all,
to
say,
the
timing
of
the
pausing
of,
what's
going
on
a
newspaper,
was
out
up
earlier
on
at
the
st.
sound,
where
the
motion
the
evening
news,
somehow
or
other
as
a
pesticide
one
today
when
we
rabid
emotion
how
amazing
that
was
when
we're
talking
about.
O
What's
going
on
consultation,
when
I
became
a
counselor
consultation,
consultation
consultation
was
my
prime
concern
and
I'm
glad
to
see
the
Lib
Dems
I've
now
taken
on
board,
but
I.
Don't
think
they
ever
do
listen
to
what
consultation
means
green
open
spaces,
there
was
lovely
green,
open
spaces
around
the
bungalows
eighteen
bunglers
were
frail
and
all
people
lived.
There
was
more
concerned
about
getting
rid
of
all
that
green
open
space.
Then
now,
let's
get
the
algae's
on
not
for
council
tenants.
Well,
our
private
people
moving
in
council
land
for
private.
Madam.
O
We're
talking
about
green
space
that
was
mentioned,
that's
valuable!
We've
got
lovely
green
space
in
Cherry
Hinton
in
your
athlete
to
build
12,000
homes
in
it.
So
don't
tell
us
about
green
space
and,
what's
going
on
so
again,
we're
taking
lessons
from
an
opposition
here
that
when
they
had
the
chance,
could
have
changed
this
city
dramatically
and
we've
had
five
years
now
to
try
and
put
these
things
right,
and
we
will
continue
to
put
our
residents
first
and,
as
my
counselor
price
said,
we
do
listen
to
our
residents.
AG
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Yes,
counter
council
talked
about
steamrolling
proposals
through
but
I.
Remember
well,
situation
I
mean
well
a
situation
in,
but
we're
talking
our
pRb
here
because
I
remember
the
well.
The
situation
at
Dale's
were
close
when
council
smart
was
act,
accounts
for
housing
and
indeed.
Z
AG
Motor
through
absolutely
as
counterparts
are
said,
we're
not
steam
rolling
a
proposal
through
I've
heavily
engaged
with
the
residents
concerned.
With
this
proposal,
particularly
the
meadows
and
Sint
Albans
rec
I'm
engaged
with
the
friends
I,
helped
to
encourage
further
consultation
at
specific
stakeholder
meeting
with
the
friends
so
that
we
could
discuss
the
proposals
in
depth
and
all
their
concerns.
We're
listening
very
carefully,
we're
moving
to
amended
schemes
and
amended
proposals
and
a
further
consultation
period.
AG
So
it's
very
rich
coming
from
the
Lib
Dems,
accusing
us
of
Steve
running
a
proposal
to
actually
we're
responding
very
carefully
and
listening
very
carefully
to
local
residents.
One
of
the
hardest
things
I
find
to
talk
about
with
this
is
expressing
that
unknown
need,
counsel,
counsel
and
others
have
all
talked
about
the
two
and
a
half
thousand
plus
on
the
housing
needs
register.
They
are
voiceless.
AG
We
have
to
try
and
take
account
strategically
of
what
their
needs
are,
and
they
cannot
speak
at
meetings
because
they
are
not
present
well,
we
know
that
their
needs
are
there
and
it
could
be
there
in
the
future
and
so
we're
speaking
partly
for
those
voiceless
people.
These
houses
just
but
you
needed
we're,
trying
to
find
a
good
balance
for
this
scheme
and
the
existing
amenity
and
they'll
be
further
amended
proposal
is
coming
forward.
So
I
urge
the
council
to
support
the
amendments.
AF
S
So
what
it
did
was
partner
up
with
Hill
Hill
is
an
award-winning
development
company.
It's
the
company,
which
is
building
housing
in
Eddington.
The
quality
of
design.
The
quality
of
finish
in
Hill
residential
homes
is
unsurpassed,
so
I
think
the
council
was
very
wise
to
go
into
partnership
with
him.
S
S
S
If
you
go
up
to
50
or
60%
or
whatever
you're
being
urged
to
do,
you're
cutting
the
prospects
of
surpluses
which
are
required
in
order
to
finance
the
entire
scheme,
may
I
end
by
reminding
the
council
that
this
will
come
before
the
planning
committee
in
due
course,
and
one
of
the
things
which
is
just
I,
find
deeply
disturbing
about
tonight's
debate.
Is
that
we're
taking
up
hard
party
positions
over
a
planning
matter?
S
There
are
many
members
here
tonight
who
are
cheering
remarks
which
are
being
issued
by
prominent
members
of
this
council
who
will
have
to
arbitrate
on
these
questions
when
they
come
before
the
Planning,
Committee
and
I
would
just
like
to
remind
them
that
I
think.
In
view
of
the
background
in
which
this
matter
has
been
discussed
tonight,
they
should
make
it
perfectly
plain
when
it
comes
to
them
to
determine
this
application,
that
they
are
open-minded.
U
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
I.
Just
a
very
short
intervention,
but
I
originally
spoke
to
campaigners
about
this
issue
at
the
Albury
carnival
we
did
have
campaign
is
supporting
the
the
Friends
of
opens
rec
even
at
the
Chesterton
I.
Sorry,
the
Milton
Road
library,
opening
I've
gone
and
spoken
to
residents
in
the
area
prior
to
this
meeting.
U
To
understand
more
of
it,
I
would
like
to
pick
up
on
councillor
prices
comment
that
the
complaints
are
all
about
some
perceived
increasing
crime
linked
to
social
housing,
not
one
of
the
campaign
as
I've
spoken
to
has
raised
that
issue
and
I.
Think
it's
really
a
disservice
to
the
campaign
against
this.
To
suggest
that
that's
what
they're
talking
about,
they
have
other
issues
that
they're
trying
to
press
home
and
I
do
think
he
should
withdraw.
That
comment
think
he.
AC
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
so
ya
know
I've.
No,
no
I
think
counselor
hit
Kim,
it's
good
point,
but
I
just
like
to
add
to
it.
So
I
think
our
counselors
can
be
predisposed
to
an
opinion,
but
we
may
not
be
pre
determining
the
opinion.
So,
as
chair
of
the
Planning
Committee
I
am
NOT
even
predisposed
to
be
honest,
but
I
was
certainly
not
predetermined.
AC
My
opinion
on
the
when
the
icin
comes
to
committee,
the
the
other
two
things
I
was
going
to
say
was
that
when
I
became
Cashman
2014
on
doorstep,
I
said
to
a
lot
of
people
that
I
was
wanting
to
be
elected,
to
help
run
a
robust
administration
for
Cambridge,
because
the
previous
administration
had
made
a
lot
of
mistakes
and
lost
a
lot
of
money.
So
that
was
my.
That
was
where
I
came
to
politics
in
the
first
place,
and
so.
AC
What
we
need
to
do
with
the
assets
we
have
in
North
cameras:
do
you
use
them
in
the
best
possible
way
for
the
residents
of
this
city?
That
includes
the
land
and
the
the
the
outcome
of
that
will
be
more
council
housing,
which
will
be
a
good
thing,
of
course,
and
also
a
brand
new
community
center,
so
having
a
new
community
center
will
be
good
for
the
people
of
Cambridge.
Obviously
so
I
think
all
I'd
finally
say
is
that
I
think
we
just
need
to
put
it
all
into
context.
AC
E
A
AH
A
AE
AE
Listening
to
and
I
completely
agree
with,
councillor
Collis,
actually
having
spoken
to
residents
on
st.
Albans
rec.
Actually
they
do
fill
they've
had
the
opportunity
to
share
their
views.
They've
really
paid
testament
to
account
so
Todd
Jones's
input
and
his
sympathy
and
his
understanding
of
them
which
been
lovely
to
hear,
but
what
they
also
don't
feels
they've
had
a
chance
to
push
this
development
forward.
They
haven't
had
chance
to
have
an
input
which
will
then
be
listened
to,
and
that
I
think,
is
the
difference
here.
AE
For
this
proposal
to
succeed,
it
isn't
enough
just
to
listen
to
them
and
nod
and
smile
and
say:
oh
how
terrible,
but
actually
what
we
need
to
do
is
we
need
to
take
the
public
with
us.
This
is
a
really
critical
development
which
does
aim
to
achieve
the
500
homes.
However,
it
also
is
about
building
a
community
and
I
really
concern
all
happen
if
we
don't
properly
engage
with
the
residents
of
st.
Albans
rec
and
that
they're
not
on
board
with
this
proposal,
is
that
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
have
500
homes,
brilliant.
AE
It
will
also
have
an
absolutely
melting
pots.
We
will
take
one
community
or
plunk
them
in
the
middle
of
an
existing
community
who
are
already
predisposed
is
to
be
quite
grumpy
about
it
because
they
feel
they
haven't
been
listened
to
because
they
feel
it's
been
done
to
them.
It's
absolutely
essential
here
that
we
take
the
existing
community
with
us
and
they
have
the
opportunity
to
shape
this
development
and,
for
my
experience
of
them
actually
they're
not
opposed
to
development
happening.
AE
They
just
wanted
to
happen
in
a
way
which
fits
would
be
of
existing
streetscape
and
with
their
wishes
and
already
what
we
see
is
the
council
stepping
back
from
this
development
at
the
meadows
community
center
planned
refurbishment
works
have
not
been
completed.
There's
an
under
spent
the
skatepark
on
set
albans
rec
has
been
sitting
damage
and
not
possible
to
be
used
for
months
and
months
and
months
the
campaigners
have
highlighted,
and
that
is
the
first
step.
AE
That's
the
first
erosion
of
the
value
of
this
community
and
that's
the
first
symptom
of
accounts
of
putting
its
council
housing
over
and
above
its
existing
residents.
The
two
need
to
work
together
and
I.
Think
at
this
point
is
for
these
extra
counselor
to
put
the
brakes
on
that
erosion
to
show
that
community
that
actually
they
are
valued
that
they
can
have
a
role
to
play
in
shaping
this
development
to
make
it
work.
AE
F
You
I
just
want
to
come
back
on
a
number
of
points
raised
in
the
debate,
so,
for
example,
let's
just
get
the
facts
right.
No
one
was
aware
of
any
revised
or
pause
to
the
scheme.
Nobody
on
this
side
was
informed
by
officers.
The
first
I
saw
was
a
press
release
that
went
out
just
before
midday
on
Monday,
and
that
was
after
motion
that
that
was
after
the
closure
of
motions
earlier
on
in
the
morning.
F
So
I
don't
know
where
councillor
Johnson's
coming
from
in
relation
to
the
fact
that
this
was
all
public
knowledge,
because
that
certainly
wasn't
the
case
he
referenced.
85%
of
the
RET
will
not
be
impacted
by
this.
15%
will
be.
15%
will
be,
and
well
I'll,
be
happy
for
him
to
confirm
this
evening
and
I'm
sure
happy
to
to
let
him
to
intervene
in
my
summing
up
if
he
confirms
that
no
green
space
will
be
taken
in
relation
to
st.
Albans
right
very
happy
for
him
to
public
him
it
in
this
meeting
now.
F
The
other
point
I
would
raise
is
that
actually
it
depends
who
residents
are?
It
depends
who
residents
are
I've
knocked
on?
Quite
a
few
doors
in
our
brief
in
the
last
few
weeks
and
it's
interesting
it's
interesting
I
mean
you
may
laugh,
but
there
hasn't
been
much
sign
of
labor
counselors,
knocking
on
doors
in
our
Berean.
In
the
last
few
weeks,
I
recognize
that
councillor
Todd
has
been
away.
So
that
may
be
one
reason
and
to
be
fair
to
counselor
Todd.
F
Here's
the
only
Labour
councillor,
only
Labour
councillor,
who
actually
the
residents
acknowledge,
have
engaged
with
them
in
relation
to
this
issue.
810
signatures
can't
be
Ron
and
cannot
be
laughed
at
councillor,
Davi
810
signatures
of
those
local
residents
who
are
objecting
to
the
way
that
this
scheme
was
being
steamrolled
through.
They
came
to
housing
and
all
the
executive,
councilor
could
say,
tough
we're
getting
on
with
it
at
last.
At
last,
the
executive
councillor
has
paused
at
last.
It
may
be
late
in
the
day.
I
welcome
his
decision
to
do
that,
and
you
have
other
options.
F
You
could
increase
the
amount
of
council
housing
at
the
region
site.
There
is
no
problem
of
doing
that.
You
could.
You
could
do
that
quite
easily.
Why
don't
you?
You
can
amend
the
scheme
on
the
meadows
and
still
deliver
the
500.
Why
don't
you?
The
reason
is
this
has
become
a
Dogma.
You
want
to
deliver
it
at
all
costs,
regardless
of
who
gets
steamrolled
by
your
process
and
in
this
particular
development
in
this
particular
development.
F
Madam
mayor,
it's
the
residents
of
North
Cambridge
and
just
on
water
Lane,
madam
mayor
just
on
water
lakes,
I
think
it's
very
important.
We
did
three
sets
of
consultation,
as
the
madam
mayor
did
acknowledge
in
housing,
scrutiny
and
actually
I
went
and
locked
at
labor
labor
wanted
to
veto
the
scheme.
So
why
don't
you
practice
empower
what
you
proposed
in
opposition.
