From YouTube: Full Council - 18th October 2018
Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
C
A
number
of
you
commented
on
how
pleasantly
surprised
you
were,
but
I
stayed
so
long
to
the
last
full
council
meeting.
It
was
deliberate
because
I
wanted
to
learn
about
what
was
going
on
and
get
a
sense
of
who
you
are,
and
perhaps
what
is
important
tonight
suddenly
I
have
to
dash
off
that
after
I
have
spoken
as
I
have
got
a
college
course
to
go
to,
but
you
know
I
wanted
to
say
that
I'm
really
glad
that
I
stayed
last
time,
I'm
glad
because
I
went
away
inspired.
C
I
was
inspired
by
meeting
you
and
chatting
to
you.
I
was
inspired
by
hearing
people
from
across
the
chamber,
speak
passionately
and,
interestingly
and
they've
got
a
real
sense
that
you
care
for
the
people
of
Cambridge
and
that
you
were
seeking
to
make
a
difference.
I
was
also
inspired
by
the
members
of
the
public
who
not
accustomed
to
public
speaking,
spoke
passionately
about
what
was
on
their
minds
and
so
much
so
we're
looking
into
the
possibility,
but
community
allotments
in
the
grounds
of
a
Good
Shepherd
Church.
C
The
chief
executive
of
stop
hate,
UK,
Rose
Simpkins,
was
inspired
by
the
American
poets
and
civil
rights
activist.
Mary,
Angelou
and
Mary
wrote
hate
it's
cause
of
other
problems
in
the
world,
but
it
has
not
solved
one
yet
the
message
they
are
hoping,
but
we
all
get
this
year,
he's
spread.
Love,
not
hate,
but
love
that
they
wants
us
to
share
is
not
a
soppy
sentimental,
chocolate
box
and
flowers
kind
of
love.
C
It's
more
important
than
that.
It's
the
kind
of
love
that
st.
Paul
wrote
about
in
a
letter
he
said,
love
is
patient.
Love
is
kind
nobody's,
not
envious
or
boastful
or
arrogant
or
rude.
It
does
not
insist
on
its
own
way.
It's
not
irritable
or
resentful.
It
does
not
rejoice
in
wrongdoing
but
rejoices
in
truth,
it
bears
all
things,
believes
all
things
hopes
all
things
endures.
All
things
love
never
ends.
This
is
the
kind
of
love
that
inspires
and
changes.
C
C

mayor's
day
out,
the
annual
meeting
for

and
annual

was
once

a
huge
success
and

Thank

the
steward
in
Chariots
of
Fire
I,
was
honored

join
the
High

This

event
was
most
enjoyable.
B

anyone

There
is
we're
very
welcome
to
do
so
at
10:30
a.m.
B
B
B
H
B
B
L
Thank
you
very
much,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
for
those
of
you
who
haven't
been
following
my
social
media,
fun
and
games
over
the
summer.
I've
spent
most
of
it
in
at
the
Cambridge
cher
collection,
picking
up
some
a
whole
host
of
wonderful
things,
including
has
anyone
ever
seen?
This
wonderful
proposed
Guildhall
that
we
didn't
get
in
1898.
L
And
then
this
wonderful
thing
arrived
at
a
nought,
sighs
at
the
Museum
of
Cambridge
I
saw
it
on
eBay
and
thought
we
need
it
because
it's
part
of
our
history
and
got
it
and
so
I've
gifted
it
to
them.
But
the
question
that
I
wanted
to
put
to
yourselves
as
counselors
is
in
that
large
Hall
that
was
built
in
1862,
the
only
woman
whose
portrait
is
on
it
is
Queen
Victoria's.
There
are
more
Tories
who
have
bought
portraits
in
that
Hall
than
there
are
women.
How
many
Tories
are
there
in
this
room
on
the
council?
L
Now,
that's
not
because
we've
got
a
shortage
of
women
heroes.
Several
of
you
should
know
who
this
is
Julio
Manning.
Anyone
that's
from
the
Parma
Clark
archive,
also
from
the
Parma
Clark
archive.
There
are
40,000
glass
plates
sitting
in
there,
many
of
which
have
not
been
seen
such
as
this
one.
This
is
Eckland
Tyne
Jeb,
who
founded
Save
the
Children
and
I
paid
for
a
professional
artist
to
colorize
that
photo.
We've
also
got
the
lady
who
built
this
place
and
who
built
this
chamber.
L
Florence
ADA
Cain's
former
mayor
first
woman
to
be
elected
to
this
council
and
then
on
the
other
side,
we've
got
Clara
Rackham,
who
certainly
them
on
the
Labour
benches.
You
should
be
more
than
familiar
with
now.
My
point
being
is
those
are
a
two
sized
from
the
very
large
glass
plates
that
they've
got
there?
M
M
First
of
all,
as
a
feminist
and
a
fellow
historian,
I
particularly
appreciate
your
questions
which
relate
to
these
amazing
pioneer
women,
which
helped
to
shape
not
only
Cambridge
but
often
the
whole
country,
while
I'm
up
here.
I'd
also
like
to
take
the
opportunity
to
thank
you,
particularly
for
two
things.
First
of
all,
your
generosity
for
giving
things
the
museum
of
Cambridge.
That
is
an
amazing
image.
It's
really
glorious,
but
also
for
you've
done
a
huge
amount
of
work
to
support
a
lot
of
the
vote.
M
100
events
this
year
and
I
know
that
you're
continuing
to
do
so
and
I
know
how
key
you've
been
in
arrangements
to
celebrate
the
life
of
Clara
Rackham,
and
the
forthcoming
blue
plaque
and
I
really
want
to
pay
tribute
to
the
work
you've
done
there.
What
can
I
say?
I
mean
I
completely
agree.
Our
paintings
are,
as
we
probably
should
say,
rather
unbalanced.
M
It's
a
bit
male
and
pale.
Isn't
it
and
it's
completely
on
representative
of
Cambridge
now
and
that's
very
clear,
I'd
really
like
to
see
a
lot
more
diverse
paintings,
especially
given
that
we're
not
short
of
excellent
women
to
celebrate
I
think
the
key
is,
and
you
know
me,
I'm,
not
one
to
kind
of
shoot
from
the
hip
as
it
were.
M
So
what
do
I'd
like
to
do
is
rather
than
giving
a
kind
of
set
of
off-the-cuff
answers
this
evening,
I'd
like
to
offer
an
invitation
for
you
to
meet
with
myself
and
our
Welliver
office
a
team
to
talk
through
your
suggestions
in
more
detail.
So,
let's
actually
kind
of
have
more
discussions
to
think
this.
B
Agenda
item
four
recommendations
of
the
executive
for
adoption.
We
now
turn
to
item
four,
a
contained
in
the
separate
local
plan
pack:
recommendation
of
the
executive
councilor
for
planning
policy
and
transport
concerning
the
adoption
of
the
Cambridge
Local
Plan.
All
as
I
ask
councillor
Blanco
as
the
executive
councilor
to
introduce
this
item.
If
he
wishes
and
I
I
will
allow
a
speaking
time
of
up
to
ten
minutes
due
to
the
nature
of
the
subject
matter.
N
Mr.
mayor,
yes,
it's
my
humble
duty
to
offer
up
the
Cambridge
Local
Plan
what
will
be
2018
to
this
full
council
to
be
adopted
this
evening,
counselor
Tim
Ward
presented
the
submitted
local
plan
in
February
2014
that
meeting
having
looked
at
the
minutes
of
it
only
18
of
the
councillors
president
today
were
present
at
that
meeting.
It
shows
the
length
of
time
and
the
change
in
the
council
over
that
time.
I.
Think
in
that,
just
that
one
aspect
that
only
18
of
the
42
members
currently
on
the
council
were
present
at
that
meeting.
N
N
Whole
set
of
policies
which
I
think
are
far
more
in
tune
with
language
in
2018
and
probably
had
been
in
2006
that
the
time
of
the
previous
plan
adoption
and
we
do
need
to
move
with
the
times,
as
everybody
clearly
knows
and
tells
us
frequently
I.
Think
one
aspect
I
think
needs
to
be
emphasized
is
that,
while
all
manner
of
organizations,
individuals
respected
companies
and
others
have
visions
for
this
city
have
plans
for
this
city.
Perhaps
their
own
plans,
perhaps
bigger
visionary
plans
that
they
see
for
the
city.
N
As
a
result
leading
up
to
the
submission
meted
in
2014,
there
were
several
years
of
work
done
on
assessing
housing,
the
job
need
all
sorts
of
background,
work,
sustainability,
appraisals
and
all
sorts
of
work
that
fed
into
the
preparation
of
this
plan
the
officers
concerned.
Some
of
them
are
present
this
evening,
an
awful
lot
of
work
over
many
years
to
get
to
this
stage.
N
But
in
terms
of
the
point
about
the
democratic
I
think
foundation.
It
is
important
because
we
will
now
when
this
is
I
hope
adopted
by
for
council,
be
able
to
hold
this
plan
up
and
for
every
person,
company,
individuals
and
groups
within
the
with
interests
in
the
city.
They
will
have
to
follow
this
plan,
just
as
we
as
the
council
are
produced
and
pretty
forward
and
hopefully
to
be
adopted,
but
it
will
apply
across
the
board.
It
is
the
guide
for
this
city.
N
It
is
the
strategy
for
this
city
and
it
has
that
foundation
at
its
heart
and
I.
Think
those
of
you
remember
falling
through
some
of
the
representations,
the
thousands
and
thousands
of
representations
on
all
the
various
consultation
stages
prior
to
2014.
We
remember
how
much
contribution
was
made
by
all
manner
of
representations
at
that
time,
and
we
RC
formulated
the
plan
based
on
that,
but
also
with
a
with
a
vision
and
with
a
an
evidence-based
vision
for
the
city.
N
There
is
an
awful
lot
in
the
plan
as
you,
those
of
you,
managed
to
read
through
some
of
it.
We
would
have
seen
the
sections
are.
Clink
I
think
are
highly
relevant
to
today's
issues
that
we
place
within
our
city
within
our
wards
and
are
familiar
with
interesting.
One
of
the
speakers
who
addressed
the
February
2014
meeting
was
a
certain
mr.
pagent.
We
all
know
and
love
and
thusly
that
was
about
regions.
N
Some
of
you
may
wish
to
sort
of
homed
in
on
one
or
two
of
the
aspects
that
you
have
taken
a
keen
interest
in,
but
in
terms
of
where
we
are
clearly,
the
spatial
strategy
is
very
important
in
terms
of
how
we
plan
for
jobs
for
for
housing,
particularly
in
the
city,
how
we
maintain
the
numbers
of
affordable
housing
units
and
overall
housing
units
within
a
city
which
has
a
clear
housing
problem.
At
this
time.
N
We
need
to
us
the
work
sensibly
on
the
jobs
front
in
terms
of
working
we're,
sensible
allocations
of
new
employment
can
be
sustained,
and
we
clearly
need
to
work
with
our
colleagues
in
South
camera
shear
on
both
employment
and
housing,
and
that
has
been
I
think
a
healthy
partnership
over
recent
years
and
will
continue
under
the
greatly
can
be
shared
planning
service
and
both
in
practical
terms
and
in
a
preparation
of
a
joint
plan
up
to
2050,
which
will
come
forward
at
some
point
in
late
next
year.
But
in
terms
of
some
of
the
detail.
N
In
terms
of
some
of
the
work
that's
already
been
done,
some
of
the
councils
have
been
working
on
areas
of
acidity
the
Grafton
area,
which
of
scorner
land
north
of
Cherry
Hinton
that
came
with
northern
fringe.
Each
will
exercise
many
of
us
in
in
the
coming
months
and
in
terms
of
the
bit
particularly
and
I'll,
see
the
planning
process
behind
that
there
are
opportunity
areas:
Mill
Road.
N
Air
quality
has
been
on
the
agenda
for
many
years
and
will
continue
to
be
I,
think
a
high
priority
for
this
council
and
that
has
policy
statements
to
back
up
our
sort
of
approach
in
terms
of
housing.
Obviously,
we've
we've
maintained.
This
was
a
cross-party
view
and
always
has
been
I.
Think
of
a
40
percent
threshold
on
on
major
sites
for
affordable
housing.
We
are
trying
to
maintain
a
balance
within
the
city
so
that
people
can
live
here
at
all
income
levels
and
although
in
different
circumstances,
it
can't
be
just
a
city
for
the
rich.
N
N
N
Which
case
and
that's
our
CEO
just
one
of
the
aspects
of
the
sort
of
nuts
and
bolts
of
the
policy
areas,
there
are
far
more
that
people
with
may
wish
to
mention
and
sort
of
firm
home
home
in
on,
but
in
terms
of
local
plan.
I
think
this
is
a
sound
local
plan
and
clearly
the
inspector
agrees
after
many
months
they
finally
agreed
and
I
recommend
this
local
plan
for
formal
adoption
by
the
for
Council
as
of
tonight.
Thank
you
and.
F
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
the
the
chaplain
has
gone
but
I'm
sure
he
wouldn't
mind
me
saying
that,
because
of
the
unholy
length
of
time,
this
plan
has
taken
and
it's
been
delayed
through
its
inspection.
This
is
a
plan
that
has
a
somewhat
checkered
history
of
political
support.
The
draft
plan,
as
council
Glencoe
has
said,
was
submitted
under
our
administration
of
the
council
and
actually
councillor
Blanco.
If
you
look
at
the
attendance
list
at
the
meeting,
you'll
see
that
at
the
time
the
labor
group
here
didn't
vote
for
it.
You
abstained.
F
Likewise,
the
sister
draft
local
plan
for
South
Cambridgeshire
was
not
actually
supported
by
the
Liberal
Democrat
opposition.
There,
I'm
I'm,
using
these
words
generously
I'm
Jen,
genuinely
happy
to
see
that
both
opposition's
at
that
time
have
subsequently
changed
their
view
and
I'm
equally
happy
to
say
that
my
group
hasn't
changed
its
view
either,
despite
now
being
in
opposition,
we
we
welcome
and
support
the
adoption
of
this
plan,
especially
because
a
very
large
part
of
the
work
on
the
plan
as
councillor
Blanca
has
observed,
was
carried
out
under
our
administration.
F
F
Mr.,
no,
the
overwhelming
reason
for
supporting
this
plan
is
that
in
it
enables
the
continued
supply
of
new
homes
in
the
city,
and
it
does
so
in
a
way
which
continues
to
respect
the
character
of
our
city.
If
we
don't
do
this,
we
will
further
remove
existing
housing
in
Cambridge
from
what
is
affordable
and
we
will
start
to
choke
off
the
thriving
businesses
which
have
contributed
so
much
to
the
area's
prosperity
and
which
already
struggle
with
recruitment.
F
At
the
same
time
as
developing
this
local
plan,
we
on
this
side
with
partners
also
succeeded
in
concluding
the
largest
city
deal
anywhere
in
the
country,
largely
for
the
purposes
of
transport
improvement.
We
needed
this
to
support
this
local
plan,
provided
we
use
this
well.
We
are
in
the
enviable
position
from
the
perspective
of
much
of
the
rest
of
the
country,
of
having
the
wherewithal
to
make
a
good
job
of
growing
cat,
Greater
Cambridge
in
a
sustainable
and
connected
way.
F
I'm
convinced
that
it
is
not
to
work
for
the
best
interests
of
our
city
to
fight
against
the
tide
of
change.
All
sorts
of
unintended
consequences
will
arise
from
that
not
only
for
Cambridge,
but
it
probably
won't
even
result
in
many
of
the
comparable
advantages
popping
up
elsewhere
in
the
region
or
even
in
the
country
as
things
that
get
suppressed
here
have
a
habit,
habitat
habit
of
happening
internationally
in
Boston
in
San,
Francisco
in
Singapore
or
Shanghai
I.
F
Think
our
role
with
our
local
planning
is
to
channel
to
shape,
to
tame
and
to
manage
our
growth
pressures,
so
they
work
fairly
for
people
and
for
our
environment.
As
I
read
the
report
of
the
independent
economic
review
there's
clearly
more
to
be
done.
It's
already
necessary
to
review
this
plan
as
we've
committed
to
start
doing
with
South
Cambridge
you
next
year.
F
After
that,
my
aspiration
is
that
we
start
with
a
big
public
consultative
conversation
about
the
broad
shape
of
the
next
stage
of
Cambridge
is
continuing
evolution
akin
to
the
Cambridge
futures
exercise
almost
20
years
ago,
such
modelling
of
alternative
concepts
with
their
pros
and
their
cons
has
recently
been
restarted,
and
it's
referred
to
in
the
economic
review,
but
this
ought
to
be
used
to
elicit
public
input
at
the
start
of
the
next
local
plan
to
help
us
achieve
a
conscious
sense
of
the
overall
direction
that
we're
going
in
in
the
meantime.
Mr.
O
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
declare
an
interest
as
chair
of
the
chariots
and
residents
Association.
As
councillor
Blanco
mentioned
earlier,
there's
going
to
be
a
huge
development
in
chariot,
and
the
press
keeps
saying
1,200
arms
in
chariots
him,
but
it's
not
1,200.
It's
under
1200,
it's
more
like
800,
but
it
has
been
mentioned
early.
It's
not
just
housing,
its
transport
as
well,
and
we
all
know
that
this
city's
is
blighted
by
the
transport
infrastructure,
which
has
never
been
addressed.
Now.
With
this
new
development,
that's
planned
north
of
Terry.
O
In
turn,
there
is
an
opportunity
to
try
and
alleviate
this
transport.
We've
already
had
one
fight
with
the
County
Council
over
the
transport,
as
they
believed
an
or
through
Road
was
the
agreeable
way
to
deal
with
1200
arms
everybody
in
Terry.
In
turn
knows
it
needs
a
distributor
rolled
a
spine,
Road,
a
peripheral
Road.
O
Whatever
these
traffic
people
want
to
call
it,
but
there's
a
the
opportunity
to
build
a
road
around
this
development
which
would
alleviate
the
traffic
from
cherian
turn,
which
will
mean
the
traffic
on
this
development
can
move
freely
around
the
city
as
well.
So
I
would
ask
that,
as
this
plant
grows
an
ear
and
gets
them
the
microscope,
that
we
do
ensure
that
this
peripheral
distributor
old
is
built
round
this
new
estate,
enabling
the
transport
not
to
be
congested
as
we
found
that
with
all
of
the
new
developments.
Thank
you.
Mister.
P
And
just
briefly,
I
think
it
is,
as
has
been
said
by
others
time,
to
thank
the
officer
team,
including
Caroline
countries,
also
here
today,
as
well
as
Sarah
Saunders,
and
it
has
required
a
huge
amount
of
patience,
given
just
the
length
of
time
that
the
inspection
has
taken.
So
during
that
period,
we've
considered
continue
to
have
particularly
fast
jobs,
growth
in
the
high-tech
sector
growing
at
around
five
percent
a
year,
and
we
we've
had
greater
challenges
from
affordable
housing
which
point
us
to
having
to
build
far
more
affordable
housing
for
rent
I'm.
P
Glad
that
we've
been
able
to
deliver
on
our
existing
policies
are
very
close
to
40%
in
all
new
developments
and
I'm
also
glad
that
we
will
now
be
able
to
extend
affordable
housing
into
smaller
developments
as
a
result
of
this
and
improve
space
standards.
I
am
also
happy
that
it
is
still
a
partnership
so
that
it's
a
partnership
with
South,
Cambridgeshire
and
ourselves
is
critical.
P
The
nature
of
the
plans
were
are
that
they
have
been
developed
together
and
the
development
now
of
Camborne
or
nor
stow
and
mortar
beach
are
as
critical
to
this
city,
as
are
the
proposals
for
additional
housing
here.
So,
given
that
the
rate
of
build-out
in
South
Cambridgeshire
by
the
University
in
Northwest
has
been
fast
and
the
prospect
of
Darwin,
green
and
other
sites
starting,
we
really
do
need
to
see
house
building
in
South
Cambridgeshire
accelerate
as
both
councillor
Blanco
and
councillor
big
of
say.
P
It
is
a
partnership
and
we
now
need
to
work
with
South
Cambridgeshire,
looking
ahead,
assisted
by
the
investment
by
the
Greater
Cambridge
partnership.
We
really
do
need
to
improve
connectivity,
and
we
also
need
to
be
thinking
about
planning
on
a
broader,
a
broader
horizon.
There
is
no
reason
why
we
can't
be
planning
from
Mill
de
Boer
right
across
to
Sania's.
If
we've
got
properly
connected
communities
and
building
on
existing
market
towns,
they
have
got
a
really
big
part
to
play
in
the
future,
including
spreading
the
benefits
of
growth
and
spreading
jobs
from
this
city.
Q
Yes,
I'd
like
to
add
my
thanks
and
compliments
to
the
planning.
The
joint
planning
teams,
the
City
Council
at
south
campsite,
Sarah
and
Caroline
have
worked
very
productively
together
during
a
very
long
period
when
they
have
been
subject
to
a
number
of
shall
I,
say,
challenges
with
respect
to
the
plan,
but
they
have
guided
it
steadily
and
consistently,
and
it's
emerged
as
a
document
which
many
of
you
will
want
to
celebrate.
Q
Reading
the
London
Evening
Standard
I
was
surprised
to
see
that
Sadiq
Khan
is
already
extremely
troubled
by
the
fact
that
his
own
local
plan
for
London
as
far
as
housing
is
concerned,
is
short
on
housing
by
50%,
that
is
to
say,
only
a
half
of
the
houses
which
he
hoped
would
be
built
have
actually
been
built,
and
he
quite
rightly
attributes
this.
Failure
to
fulfil
the
housing
demand
and
the
housing
need
in
London.
Q
Q
Q
So
they
will
become
part
of
that
vast
army
of
commuters
who,
on
a
daily
base,
laces
clog
our
roads
as
they
seek
to
get
into
the
city.
I.
Finally,
would
like
to
say
that
I
think
we
all
of
us
should
hold
our
breath
with
respect
to
this
local
plan.
It
is
a
bold
vision
in
many
ways.
This
it
was
never
to
my
taste
or
my
liking
that
we
embarked
on
the
development
of
the
city
in
the
way
that
we
have,
but
there
it
is,
you
know
some
battles
you
lose
and
that
one
I
certainly
lost.
R
A
Thanks
mr.
Merrick,
first
of
all,
glaring
interests
as
I
work
for
the
University
of
Cambridge.
In
sure
there
are
parts
of
the
land
that
I'm
not
happy
with,
but
I'd
say
they're
a
lot
of
work
and
care
is
going
to.
That
is
good.
It's
not
my
stage
of
the
process
to
oppose
it.
So
please
support
it
as
well.
S
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
certainly
my
two
would
like
to
add
my
thanks.
All
these
people
have
worked
so
hard
once
it's
an
enormous
document
watching
the
poor
person
who
was
delivering
stagnant
down
the
drive
under
the
weight
of
them
suddenly
told
me
before
I,
actually
open
the
door
what
it
was
and
how
complicated
it
was
going
to
be.
So
certainly
all
those
people
involved
in
that
through
the
years
need
thanking
for
that
I.
Think
it's
important
that
I
mentioned
the
the
land
north
of
Cherry
Hinton
is
an
important
factor
for
us.
S
I've
had
many
residents
contact
me
who
are
very
concerned
about
the
impact
of
such
a
large
development
on
the
doorstep.
In
actual
fact,
I've
had
a
number
of
emails
today
and
two
people
stopped
me
before
I
got
here,
but,
as
counteraction
said
and
he's
quite
right
and
it
senses
motion
around
there.
It's
not
unheard
of
to
take
certainly
five
minutes
to
get
through
cheering
and
I
Surry.
That's
a
daily
occurrence.
It's
just
taken
me
for
over
40
minutes
to
get
here
from
Cherry
Hinton
today,
I'm
extremely
concerned,
as
are
the
residents.
S
Where
is
all
that
traffic
going
to
go
and
if
you
superimpose
that
development
on
the
existing
Cherry
Hinton
it's
as
big
as
the
existing
Cherry
Hinton,
it's
huge
it's
going
to
impact
a
lot
and
I
think
we
have
to
be
extraordinarily
careful
how
we
integrate
that
with
the
existing
community.
So
it
isn't
completely
and
totally
overwhelmed,
but
becomes
part
of
the
infrastructure
and
becomes
part
of
the
existing
village
that
we've
all
no
in
love
and
we
end
up
with
one
community,
not
since
separate
ones.
S
T
If
you
count
the
self
cans
parts,
heavy
shrimp,
which
is
to
be
part
of
that,
develop
as
well
with
the
cable
city
council
and
the
self
cams,
with
their
local
planning
mirrors
each
other.
So
I
think
there
might
be
more
hope
that
we
work
together
when
we're
on
the
borders
that
we
can
work
together
and
try
and
improve
plans.
I
think
transport
should
come
first
lot
the
time
these
developments
get
put
first
bill,
and
then
we
think
about
transport
afterwards,
which
I
think
it's
all
support.
A
car.
U
Thank
You,
Man
I
think
probably
like
a
lot
of
counselors
here
today.
I
actually
find
myself
inheriting
this
plan,
but
I
should
actually
also
give
thanks
to
colleagues
both
here
and
well
and
from
the
past
and
for
all
the
officers
for
their
hard
work
throughout
this
process,
I'd
like
to
congratulate
them
on
delivering
a
local
plan,
which
should
hopefully
help
to
continue
to
keep
Cambridge
as
a
city.
That's
growing
and
thriving,
whilst
also
seeking
to
address
the
housing
shortage,
which
requires
such
urgent
attention.
U
I
do
share
the
concerns
raised
by
a
number
of
colleagues
regarding
the
threat
to
the
development
of
our
transport
infrastructure.
I
appreciate
that
cannot
be
included
in
this
plan,
but
its
success
depends
upon
it.
Sadly,
also
much
of
that
now
depends
on
the
regional
mayor
and
his
combined
Authority,
and
that
is
something
that
causes
concern.
U
However,
more
locally
and
more
optimistically,
I
am
particularly
excited
to
see
that
plan
approved
as
it
enables
the
adoption
of
the
Mitchum's
corner
supplementary
planning
document,
as
highlighted
in
Section
4
of
pendick
6
through
the
passionate
and
hard
work
of
the
Friends
Mitchum's
Corner.
This
area
now
represents
a
fantastic
opportunity
for
the
city,
allowing
allowing
us
to
build
an
exciting
gateway
for
the
city
center
and
expanding
the
important
social
hub
for
my
area.
U
B
N
N
Just
come
back
to
one
or
one
of
two
comments
that
have
come
through,
thus
firing
the
discussion,
this
local
plan,
the
city,
local
plan
and
flat
matter,
the
South
commissure
local
plan
is
based
on
the
current
transport
strategy
for
this
county,
and
it
is
based
on
a
strategy
that
has
been
both
approved
by
us
as
the
local
authorities
and,
more
importantly,
by
the
government
inspector
through
the
examination
and
public
process.
They
believe,
and
they
were.
N
There
was
a
lot
of
challenge
on
various
aspects
of
some
of
the
site
locations
within
the
Greater
Cambridge
area,
but
the
government
inspector,
having
taken
a
long
time
to
do
so,
has
actually
given
us
endorsement
that
that
those
policy
areas
and
allocation
areas
are
deliverable.
So,
let's
be
shoot,
let's
be
clear
on
that
point.
They
are
both
in
terms
of
the
local
authorities
and
the
government
inspector
presenting
the
national
government
in
this
case,
as
deliverable
within
this
time
period.
N
I
think
that's
important
to
make
clear,
and
it
is
this
time
period
we're
talking
about
we're
talking
to
20
31,
even
even
now.
Yes,
we
might
be
looking
at
working
together
with
South
commissure
colleagues
towards
in
the
next
year
about
a
joint
plan,
preparation
for
even
further
than
that.
But,
let's
be
must
be
clear.
N
It
may
be
12
13
years
ahead,
but
it's
still
a
long
period
in
the
in
the
Cambridge
history
and
then
in
terms
of
how
we
deal
with
the
practicalities
of
Cambridge
growth
and
great
and
Cambridge
pressures,
and
as
I
pointed
out,
this
local
plan
is
the
plan
for
the
city.
We,
as
a
council
are
responsible
for
its
production
and
its
adoption,
but
it
applies
to
everybody
with
interest
in
this
city
to
individuals
to
companies
who
were
based
here
to
everybody
who
has
an
interest
in
this
city.
N
It
is
the
democratically
agreed
plan
for
the
city
up
to
20
31
and
yes,
we
may
find
that
various
studies
of
various
aspirations
seem
to
want
to
run
ahead
of
that.
But
actually
we
have
a
plan
here.
That
is
robust
ins
being
approved
by
the
National
inspector
and
we
will
hold
hold
hold
it
to
account
and
we
will
support
it
and
back
it
up
and
expect
everybody
with
these
interests
in
the
city
to
sort
of
accept
it
as
the
democratically
agreed
foundation
for
their
strategy
for
the
city.
I
think
that's
important.
N
I'd
say
people
have
preferred
to
want
to
individual
expects
and
over
over
time,
I
think
we'd
be
having
various
briefings
on
some
of
those
that
are
people
who
are
less
familiar
with.
Some
of
this
planning
history
can
get
to
grips
with
how
they
as
practical
war
representatives
and
represent
their
residents
an
area.
You
know
with
the
plans
in
mind
so
that
people
do
come
unquote
current,
as
in
this
documents,
policies
to
us
at
planning
committees
in
the
next
few
months.
N
So
they
know
what
they're
talking
about,
and
so
they
can
explain
to
residents
and
others
what
they're
talking
about,
and
that
is
the
practicality
of
it
and
that's
how
it
will
be
rolled
out,
and
that
will
be,
of
course,
large
sites,
smaller
sites
and
all
sorts
of
very
sort
of
proposals
that
fall
under
these
sort
of
policy
areas,
and
that
will
be
of
interest
to
us
all
on
the
planning
committee.
But
it
will
be
interested
everybody
to
think
with
the
role
in
their
wards
and
a
role
to
represent.
N
B
B
B
Police
crew
counselors
retain
their
copies
of
the
local
plan
documentation
until
the
planning
policy
team
send
out
official
copies
in
due
course.
We
now
turn
to
to
item
4b
on
page
31
pages
31
to
111
of
the
agenda
recommendation
of
the
Executive
Council
of
a
housing
concerning
the
housing
revenue
account
medium-term
financial
strategy.
B
I
I
do
mr.
mayor
and
rest
assured
I
would
not
need
the
full
ten
minutes
before
I
start
sigh
I.
Think,
even
though
he's
not
here
this
evening,
I
had
to
pay
tribute
to
my
predecessor
counts
the
price
and
thank
him
for
the
huge
contribution
to
the
housing
portfolio
he
has
made
over
the
last
four
years.
I
think
the
city
owes
him
a
great
deal
of
gratitude
for
the
important
and
vital
work
he
undertook
to
boost.
I
I
In
terms
of
highlights.
The
MTFs
provides
100,000
pounds
of
any
revenue
budget
for
undertaking
stock
conditions,
surveys,
findings
of
which
were
influenced
a
strategic
review
or
planned.
Investments
in
our
housing
stock
in
1920
are
non-words
with
an
occlusion
and
an
inclusion
of
1
million
pounds
of
in
the
capital
budget
5
years
from
1920
to
undertake
the
prioritized
the
state
investment
arising
from
the
external
estates.
In
common
part
surveys,
it
approves
additional
funding
within
the
housing
capital
investment
plan
of
432
thousand
pounds,
those
associated
fees
and
overheads
for
identified
fire
safety
works
across
our
housing
stock.
I
There
are
updated
figures
in
respect
of
the
housing
capital
investment
plan
regarding
new
build
schemes
and
earmarks
funding
for
potential
future
projects
in
capital.
Financing
has
also
been
updated
with
respect
to
revised
assumptions
regarding
writer
by
never
capital
receipts,
grants,
revenue,
funding
of
capital
expenditure
and
borrowing
requirements.
So
mr.
mayor
I
hope
that
we
can
replicate
what
happened
our
housing
security
committee
and
have
a
unanimous,
showing.
H
H
The
current
executive
council
is
able
to
stand
up
to
that
that
high
bar
that
counts
the
price
put
in
terms
of
that
passion.
So
turning
now
to
the
medium
term
financial
strategy.
Clearly,
as
one
reads
the
document,
mr.
mayor,
you
see
that
the
key
theme
is
the
authorities
delivery
of
500
council
houses
from
the
default
funding
and
so
far
we've
delivered
we're
over
one
and
a
half
years
into
this
project.
We've
delivered.
H
Indeed,
of
the
317
homes
that
have
been
built
since
2012,
only
39
of
them
were
commenced
under
the
ruling
group,
unless
you
want
to
take
credit
for
water
lane,
unless
you
want
to
take
credit
for
the
southern
fringe.
If
you
look
at
the
numbers
in
the
report,
only
39
were
commenced
under
your
ruling
that
mr.
mayor
and
I'm
not
great
on
max,
but
that's
ten
houses
per
year,
ten
houses
per
year
and
the
reason
I
make
this
point.
Mr.
H
mayor,
is
that
actually
everything
doesn't
bode
well
in
the
rosy
world
of
the
delivery
of
the
500
council
houses
that
those
people
are
now
housing
register
are
expecting
us
to
deliver
for
them
and
the
reason
I
say
that
mr.
mayor
is
yet
we
have
yet
to
identify
where
a
hundred
of
these
houses
are
going
to
be
built
some
site
somewhere
in
the
city.
I,
don't
know
where
executive
councilor
wasn't
keen
to
tell
me:
where
is
this
site?
H
Where
are
we
going
to
deliver
a
hundred
houses
of
the
500
we've
only
identified
400,
so
four
and
mr.
mayor,
the
ruling
group
claims
there's
no
need
to
laugh
because
actually,
those
2,500
people
on
the
register
aren't
laughing
they're,
not
laughing
where
you
fail
to
deliver
the
500
homes
and
the
rolling
group.
The
rolling
group
say
mr.
mayor
that
actually
vital
in
delivering
the
500
homes
is
our
joint
venture,
our
joint
venture
with
the
hard-nosed
commercial
property
developer-
and
this
is
evidence,
mr.
H
mayor
by
the
decision
to
buy
the
region
site
in
reference
this
evening,
not
bought
by
the
joint
venture
partnership
by
the
way
but
bought
by
the
council
general
fund
and
the
HRA
28
million
that
Koster's.
So
we're
now,
speculative
commercial
property
developers
and
clearly,
we've
been
influenced
by
our
joint
venture
property
developer,
because
we've
suddenly
decided
we're
not
going
to
deliver
50
percent,
affordable
housing
on
this
site,
we're
only
going
to
deliver
40
percent.
We
can't
even
get
to
the
50
percent.
We
had
on
the
Mill
Road
depth
and
it
gets
better.
Mr.
H
mayor
these,
this
new
community
won't
even
have
a
dedicated
community
facility,
they're
expected
to
go
over
the
bridge
to
Mill
Road,
and
it
gets
even
better
because
they
won't
have
a
bridge
that
they
could
cycle
over
from
the
region
site
to
the
moon,
Road
depo,
because
that's
been
scrapped
as
well.
So
what
worries
me
mr.
mayor
is
actually
what
it
shows
is
the
short
term
decisions
that
we're
taking
influenced
by
our
JV
property
developer
partner
will
have
long-term
negative
impacts
for
this
city
and
our
residents.
But
what's
more
worrying
mr.
H
mayor
is:
what's
not
in
the
document?
There's
no
reference
to
helping
residents.
Typically,
young
professionals,
teachers,
nurses,
I,
know
you've
heard
me
say
it
before
and
I'll
keep
saying
it,
because
they
are
a
key
component
of
this
city
on
how
they
can
rent
30
more
seconds
mr.
met
on
how
they
can
rent
in
this
city
there's
no
reference
to
creative
solutions
to
getting
the
homeless
off
the
streets,
such
as
housing.
H
First,
there
is
no
reference
to
the
foundations
of
how
we
deliver
another
2,000
council
houses
to
solve
this
housing
register
problem,
and
not
only
that
mr.
mayor,
we
have
a
ticking
time
bomb.
We
have
a
ticking
time
bomb
in
the
fact
that
we
have
our
own
estate,
that
is
aging
and
will
need
replacing
and
once
there
are
some
short
measures
introduced
in
this
in
this
document
there
are
no
long
term
measures
to
actually
address
that
issue.
So
mr.
mayor,
if
I
could
just
summarize
by
saying
mr.
P
A
car
thing
negative
nasty
contribution
that
was
where
18
months
into
the
funding
I,
don't
know
how
good
and
councillor
Cantrell
is
at
building
homes
and
how
quickly
he
can
get
hold
of
sites.
But
if
you
could
just
with
the
the
ability
that
you
have
with
your
investments,
councillor
Cantrell
consider
the
option
of
how
long
it
would
take
you
to
get
site
ready
to
get
planning
permission
to
get
the
funding
together
to
involve
the
community
and
then
to
actually
build
it
isn't
possible
often
to
build
within
eighteen
months.
P
Your
negativity
suggests
that
you
want
us
to
fail.
There
wasn't
a
word
of
sort
of
our
light
suggests
you
do
this,
or
this
is
another
good
idea.
I've
got
about
building.
No,
it
was
all
trying
to
sort
of
will
almost
divine
a
failure
in
four
or
five
years
time.
So
councillor
Cantrell
in
another
meeting,
said
we
shouldn't
well
one
one
meeting.
He
says
what
we
want
you
to
do
is:
invest
more
in
housing
and
housing.
Land,
oh,
don't
invent
and
don't
invest
in
the
region
site,
that's
so
close
to
the
Mill
Road
Depot.
P
It's
too
big
a
risk.
You
said
that
councillor
Cantrell,
we
are
investing
in
land
to
build
council
houses.
We
are
building
50%
at
Mill
Road.
We
do
roughly
know
where
the
other
hundred
are
going
to
go,
but
we
have
to
get
the
plans
together.
There's
no
point
in
us
going
out
to
the
community
until
we're
actually
clear
where
and
where
we're
going
you,
along
with
councillor
hip,
King
and
myself,
went
to
see
the
last
day
of
no
Road
depo.
P
Do
you
remember,
go
back
and
look
at
it
now,
all
right,
you
will
see
that
there
is
a
site
there
where
housing
will
be
built
very
soon.
Are
you
happy
about
that
I
hope
so
clearly,
not
because
you
haven't
actually
responded
positively.
So
the
region's
purchase,
which
you
say
was
a
bad
idea,
is
going
to
deliver
housing.
It
will
also
deliver
a
community
facility.
You
watch,
you
see
what
we
bring
forward.
It
wasn't
all
going
to
be
at
Mill
Road.
It
never
was
so
just
see
what
comes
out
of
that
stop
being
so
negative.
P
In
your
whole
speech,
you
didn't
even
come
to
the
changes
that
mean
that
the
HRA
is
now
in
a
far
better
state
changes
that
happened
at
the
end
of
the
coalition
government,
but
largely
under
Osborne
are
not
going
to
happen.
A
lot
of
the
risk
that
was
in
the
HRA
estate
being
taken
out,
we're
now
able
to
in
the
future
to
do
far
more
no
reference
by
you
on
that.
No
reference
either
about
the
Teresa
mace.
Finally
saying
that
she's
going
to
get
rid
of
the
HRA
cap.
That
is
a
major
change.
P
T
Regional
kicked
up
account.
The
council
can't
reverse
war.
I
was
laughing.
She
was
standing
up
there
like
comedian,
that's
what
I
was
laughing
and
I
and
I
wish.
You
could
said
things
like
he
done
them
when
you
was
an
obviously
it'll
done
something
when
he
was
in
been
using
chaos
or
in
control
and
I.
Think
really
the
only
breeze
of
that
speech
or
give
this,
because
when
you
want
to
be
stand
as
an
MP
in
the
future
election,
that's
all
its
to
Bill.
X
W
Y
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I,
just
like
to
remind
Liberal
Democrats
when
they
were
here
running
the
council
about
Walter
Laine,
you
were
going
to
throw
out
all
the
people
and
make
them
homeless
or
go
into
a
home
or
whatever
we
lost
people
who
who
passed
away.
Because
of
all
the
stress
you
done,
you
didn't
give
him
no
notice.
We
had
to
have
meetings
to
get
these
people
to
be
able
to
understand
what
was
happening,
a
lot
of
people
who
did
their
3040
years
and
you
were
just
going
to
demolish
their
homes
without
proper
consultation.
O
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I'll,
just
take
all
councilor
birds
comments
as
well.
What
happened
in
Trenton
when
we
talk
about,
we
need
housing
for
people.
What
did
he
do
in
Cherry
Hinton
bungalows
Council
on
land
sold
it
off
to
developer
the
people
who
lived
in
there
old
people
evicted
nor
meetings
taking
place
until
we
dragged
the
Liberal
Democrats
to
the
meetings,
then
we
said:
could
they
move
back
into
the
these
wonderful
new
apartments
that
were
being
built?
No
you're
not
eligible
to
move.
O
Em
Tim
will
move
your
house
where
across
the
city,
so
again
the
Liberal
Democrats
need
to
think
about.
When
they
talk
about.
They
are
the
party
who
were
going
to
look
after
they
all
the
frail,
the
people
in
new
houses.
They
had
the
chance
on
council
long
land
to
build
a
hundred
percent
council
housing
and
they
never
did
in
fact
the
evicted
people
out
of
those
houses
and
digging
the
chance
to
come
back.
So
shame
on
them
for
trying
to
say
what
we're
doing.
I
Mean
I
just
like
to
make
my
movies,
because
I
think
you
know
they
really
encapsulated
that
the
particulars
position,
unfortunately
from
from
counsel,
can
show
in
regards
to
how
we
are
progressing
as
accounts
or
delivering
to
five
hundred
houses,
because
lats
forgets
just
in
case
they've
forgotten.
That's
sorry,
let's
remember
that's
just
a
case.
They
forgotten
that
we
170
we've
got
seventy
million
pounds
from
governments
to
build
a
500
houses
pass
of
the
devolution
deal
and
what
the
Liberal
Democrats
do.
They
implored
us
not
to
sign
that
agreement.
I
R
R
Over
and
above
that,
a
much
more
interesting
proposal
is
to
his
in
his
in
the
three
paragraphs
before
that
two
to
two
three
and
four,
these
two
to
invest
up
to
five
million
pounds
in
the
Future
Business
Center,
run
by
alia
on
the
king,
sages
Road.
Now
this
this
is
a
very
interesting
project,
running
out
there.
They
they
develop
new
ventures
and
will
they
help
the
new
ventures
and
new
employment
development
by
providing
the
opportunity
for
business
our
premises
very
much?
R
What
part
of
what
their
work
is
doing
is
helping
develop
the
economy
and
job
markets
in
our
city,
which
is
exactly
what
this
group
wants
us
to.
Do
as
well
so
that
we
would
be
doing
that
by
helping
this
helping
them
with
this
investment,
we
would
also
be
enhancing
our
income
we
achieved
from
our
cash
balances
and
thereby
achieving
a
dual
goal
with
it,
with
the
investment,
investment
and
job
creation.
So
those
are
the
two
new
items
attached
to
these
treasury
management,
but
I
would
ask
you
to
approve
the
whole
package.
Please.
U
U
Furthermore,
we
would
recommend
that
the
council
remains
vigilant
for
similar
opportunities
in
the
future,
I'm
sure
we'd
all
much
rather
invest
in
our
city,
where
possible
down
into
commercial
property
over
20
miles
away,
such
as
the
being
Q&A
in
Haverhill.
On
this
basis,
we
are
happy
to
support
the
recommendations
as
sent
to
this
council.
W
V
When
comrade
Chancellor,
Chancellor
George
ours
took
over
in
charge
of
the
finances
of
this
council.
He
found
that
we
were
not
investing
the
reserves
yeah.
We
were
just
holding
in
low
interest
accounts
and
the
live
gems
of
heart
on
about
Haverhill
for
the
last
three
years
yeah.
Well,
what
did
they
do
when
they
were
running
the
council?
Did
they
invest
money
locally,
I've
checked
with
the
Cambridge
Building
Society?
V
No,
they
didn't
I
spoke
to
the
manager
of
the
Iceland
store
on
piston
Road,
and
he
knows
nothing
about
investments
in
Iceland,
which
I
understand
happened
under
the
Liberal
Democrats.
Is
that
right?
Oh
I'm,
sorry
I'm
told
it's
not
Iceland
being
a
piston
Road.
Perhaps
it's
Iceland
on
the
way
to
Haverhill
I
didn't
actually
get
your
graffia
to
a
level,
but
I
think
actually
Iceland
is
further
afield
than
actually
Haverhill
yeah.
V
We've
invested
vast
amounts
of
our
reserves
in
various
things
which,
instead
of
bringing
in
1%
as
we
had
under
the
Liberal
Democrats,
are
bringing
in
5%
bringing
in
more
than
a
million
pounds
to
the
council
coffers,
which
has
meant
we've
been
able
to
actually
preserve
services.
If
the
Liberal
Democrats
are
still
being
in
charge
of
this
council,
we
would
have
had
to
lose
services.
F
It's
great
to
be
able
to
come
back
and
respond
to
that
and
I
just
want
to
say,
mr.
mayor
that
there
surely
must
come
a
time
and
I
think
it's
probably
happened
some
time
ago,
in
fact,
that
the
Labour
Party
opposite
should
stop
trying
to
justify
their
record
by
myths
and
misrepresentations
or
an
economic
time.
That
was
very
different
from
now.
H
It's
me
I
just
thought:
I'd
come
back
on
this
point
in
terms
of
delivering
for
the
people
of
the
city,
and
you
know,
council
offers
it
talks
about
the
fact
that
all
this
great
return
enables
us
to
deliver
for
the
people
of
the
city.
Well,
the
council
has
that
unique
thing.
It
has
a
financial
capital
and
it
also
has
social
and
moral
capital,
and
if
you
look
I
think
you
have
spent
a
bit
too
long
with
your
hard-nosed
conservative
property,
joint
venture
partners,
just
look
at
shot.
H
Mobility,
just
look
at
what
you've
done
on
shot
mobility,
and
even
when
you
had
the
opportunity,
even
where
you
have,
even
when
you
had
the
opportunity
to
do
a
u-turn,
you
only
do
a
half
u-turn
and
that
you
will
regret
because
actually
the
people
of
the
Cambridge
are
looking
at
you
and
those
actions
sail
and
just
on
paper
hill
and
be
in
queue.
Mr.
mayor,
since
this
trophy
management,
is
the
leader
points
out
right,
it's
interesting.
H
It's
interesting
that
the
the
DIY
sectors
not
doing
too
well
at
the
moment
as
we
see
with
home
base
in
Cambridge,
so
I,
wouldn't
necessarily
smiling
on
your
great
yield
you're
getting
from
the
B&Q
outlet
Haverhill,
because
time
will
tell
whether
that
investment
is
a
really
good
one
or
not.
Thank
you.
Mr.
Burke.
A
E
Yeah,
so
that's
funny
thing
to
say,
but
I'd
like
to
thank
the
Lib
Dems,
really
because
some
talking
about
church
or
treasury
management.
It
truly
was
you
that
brought
me
into
politics.
As
I
was
coming
to
the
end
of
my
second
term
at
st.
Matthews
primary
school
as
chair
of
Governors,
there
and
I
thought
what
do
I
do
next
and
standing
as
a
Labour
councillor
seem
to
be
a
good
thing
to
do,
but
the
the
mess
that
you
made
of
the
Treasury
Management
Inc
in
Cambridge
and
I'm-
not
got
very
good
memory.
E
Sometimes,
but
I
can
remember
not
only
the
Iceland
debacle
but
the
what
was
it
the
Folk
Festival
lost
money
600,000.
Was
it
the
the
miscalculation
of
how
much
money
was
in
in
the
bank
by
a
million
or
something
you
miscounted
made
me
more?
So
the
thing
I
said
to
residents
on
the
doorstep
was
I'd
like
to
be
part
of
a
robust
administration
for
Cambridge,
and
that's
what
I
continue
to
do,
and
you
know-
and
the
other
thing
I
just
like
to
say,
is
currently
control.
You've
twice
said
know
that
somebody's
smiling.

you

X
R
You,
mr.
o,
the
annual
medium
to
have
a
financial
strategy,
the
MTFs
it
sets
out
to
predict
the
finances
of
Cambridge
City
Council
for
the
next
five
years.
Assumptions
of
forecasts
are
thoroughly
reviewed
and
applied
to
the
years
ahead,
so
that
we
can
create
and
share
a
good
guide
to
the
council's
future
finances.
Now.
This
provides
a
context
within
which
we
can
take
appropriate
out
decisions
to
manage
our
finances
and
provide
high
quality
services,
including
a
level
of
non-statutory
services.
Most
councils
get
nowhere
near
funding.
R
R
R
The
government
has
a
series
of
overlapping
and
slow-moving
local
government
financial
reviews
underway,
including
on
fair
funding
on
the
future
of
new
homes.
Bonus
then,
on
business
rates.
This
means
we
make.
We
face
extensive
uncertainty
as
to
the
funding
we
can
hope
to
receive
from
those
sources
leaving
the
EU
will
doubtless
put
pressure
on
the
UK
economy,
but
how
seriously
is
not
known?
How
even
a
place
like
Cambridge
with
its
robust
economy
may
well
suffer
a
serious
downturn.
R
Now
we
can
anticipate
growth
in
council
tax
with
the
continued
construction
of
new
homes,
including
our
500
in
the
city,
but
this
also
brings
with
it
increased
costs
such
as
providing
them
with
refuse
bins
and
emptying
them
each
week
the
strong
growth
in
provision
of
student
housing
is
particularly
burdensome
as
we
get
no
councils
actually
income
from
students
yeah
we're
required
to
provide
them
with
the
full
range
of
services.
No,
that's
not
right
and
something's.
Gonna
have
to
be
done
about
that.
R
This
exercise
added
to
the
review
of
key
assumptions
such
as
on
such
as
unexpected
levels
of
general
anti
inflation,
and
now
this
has
produced
a
forecast,
which
is
the
MTFs,
which
indicates
that
the
scale
of
the
pressures
for
the
next
five
years
have
grown
so
with
uncertain
income
streams
and
rising
costs.
We
have
a
challenge.
R
In
responding
to
the
challenge,
we
will
be
carrying
out
further
reviews
of
service
budgets.
We
also
have
the
officers,
bring
together
a
long
list
of
possible
ways
to
reduce
costs
and
develop
new
income
streams.
Now
those
are
being
assessed
for
their
viability
and
to
ascertain
whether
they
fit
in
with
our
overall
objectives
for
serving
claim
breach.
R
While
we
need
to
find
more
ways
to
be
less
reliant
on
government
funding,
we
also
hope
to
benefit
from
the
government's
proposal
for
some
form
of
business
rates
retention
by
local
councils.
Now,
while
this
is
primarily
geared
to
retention
of
only
the
growth
in
business
rates,
it
could
still
be
an
important
source
of
funds
into
the
future.
How
many
years
you
know
we're
working
to
release
land
in
the
northeast
of
Cambridge,
for
development
of
businesses,
properties
and
how
as
well
as
housing,
and
that
could
lead
to
a
strong
growth
in
rates.
R
The
review
will
consider
all
factors
relating
to
the
property,
not
least
whether
we
need
to
diversify
our
property
holdings
more.
Given
the
pressures
on
some
sectors,
notably
retail,
our
investment
in
commercial
property
outside
of
our
city,
has
provided
a
better
rate
of
return
than
has
been
possible
from
buying
property
in
Cambridge.
That's
part
of
the
reason
we
read
to
Haverhill.
It's
also
enabled
us
to
diversify
away
from
a
single
area.
A
diversification
is
a
very
important
part
of
any
investment
strategy.
R
R
We
also
want
to
develop
some
of
the
council's
existing
land
holdings
in
the
city,
where
they're
suitable
for
new
schemes
and
help
businesses
develop
here,
as
well
as
improving
our
income.
The
project
to
build
500
council
homes
will
add
significantly
to
the
stock
of
genuinely
affordable
accommodation
in
Cambridge.
However,
it
do
that
construction
we've
also
building
other
housing
alongside
it
now,
several
hundred
additional
homes
will
be
constructed,
notably
on
the
Mill,
Road
and
Cromwell
Road
sites.
R
Most
of
those
additional
units
will
be
sold
on
the
open
market,
we're
also
planning
for
some
of
them
to
be
bought
by
our
housing
company
for
letting
its
sub
market
rents.
So
this
medium-term
financial
strategy
identifies
the
pressures
we've
faced
in
the
years
ahead.
It
will
enable
us
to
play
and
finding
savings,
to
increase
income
streams
and
to
invest
both
of
the
future
support
of
our
budget
and
to
help
the
economic
development
of
Cambridge.
R
The
analysis
will
be
used
to
help
draw
together
the
budget
for
2019-20
and
thereafter
and
the
budget
that
project
will
be
published
in
January
by
then.
We
cannot
expect
anything
more
than
marginal
change
to
the
uncertainties
we
face,
but
this
financial
strategy
report
will
help
us
maintain
the
core
financial
objectives
of
this
council:
sound
and
prudent
financial
management,
the
minimization
of
the
need
for
cuts
to
services,
investment
in
more
affordable
housing
and
a
fairer,
more
equal
City,
the
city
we're
proud
to
serve.
Thank
you.
U
Thank
You
mr.
misty
be
mine
and
counselor
odds
chance
to
showing
this
evening
again.
I
would
like
to
thank
officers
for
their
efforts
on
this
complex
and
obviously
very
important
document.
I'm
pleased
to
note
that
current
plans
do
seem
to
indicate
that,
despite
a
very
difficult
economic
conditions,
the
City
Council
does
appear
to
remain
reasonably
financially
robust
and
expects
to
maintain
adequate
reserves
to
continue
providing
essential
services
across
our
city.
However,
whereas
lost
in
the
last
item,
id
idea
to
support
I
do
have
concerns
regarding
the
level
of
transparency
on
the
saving
requirements.
U
As
noted
on
page
17
of
this
report
or
page
166
agenda
in
particular,
we've
been
struggling
to
get
the
detailed
breakdown
of
the
unavoidable
revenue
pressures
and
therefore
it's
very
difficult
for
us
to
assess
the
credibility
of
those
extremely
large
assumptions
without
clarity
on
those
figures.
It's
also
therefore
difficult
for
us
or
the
city
to
judge
the
decisions
that
need
to
be
made
in
budgeting
that
can
lead
to
very
unpopular
cuts
to
local
services,
going
forward
I
just
request.
Greater
transparency,
I
am
on
such
key
budget
drivers
before
we
can
support
the
recommendation.
Thank
you.
F
F
First
of
all,
I
would
like
to
welcome
the
overdue
refurbishment
of
these
public
toilets,
it's
good
that
it's
it's
being
tackled,
but
there
are
two
aspects
of
this
that
I
think
are
quite
concerning
and
that's
the
way
in
which
the
council
has
handled
this.
How
normal
mr.
mayor,
is
it
to
bring
to
this
council
like
this,
an
item
to
include
something
in
its
capital
program,
some
six
months
after
the
work
has
been
done
and
finished,
no
urgency
decision,
no
consultation,
nothing,
and
this
is
history.
That
seems
to
me
not
the
appropriate
way.
F
We
should
be
dealing
with
capital
items
if
there's
a
point
in
having
a
capital
program.
It's
that
it's
a
drag
on
ahead
of
us,
not
a
program
behind
us,
and
the
second
aspect
of
this
that
I
would
like
to
refer
to
is
the
fact
that
in
almost
the
self-same
words
we
propose.
This
item
should
be
added
to
the
capital
program
in
the
budget
meeting
of
this
council
in
February,
and
at
that
time
the
been
executive
councilor
said
that
it
wasn't
necessary,
wasn't
necessary
then,
but
actually
it
proved
to
be
necessary
quite
soon
afterwards.
F
Now
I,
don't
know
whether
that
was
disingenuous
Ness,
because
she
didn't
want
to
accept
that
she'd
missed
something
out
of
her
budget
submission
or
that
she
wasn't
properly
listening
to
her
own
officers,
who
were
talking
to
me
enough
about
it
or
that
she
hadn't
been
listening
to
what
we
had
said
in
that
debate.
Our
proposals
had
been
subject
to
ample
scrutiny
before
then,
but
I
do
think
that
this
counsel
deserves
an
apology,
because
this
item,
you
said,
was
not
necessary.
F
M
M
I
said
that
the
new
budget
allocation
that
was
suggested
in
the
amendment
was
not
necessary
because
we
already
had
plans
from
the
overspend
from
an
under
spend
to
do
the
work
that
was
needed
and
that
those
plans
have
been
in
place
from
January
onwards
and
I
have
been
very
happy
to
have
talked
about
them
from
the
executive
meeting
in
January
onwards.
Had
I
been
asked
to
do
so.
This
is
simply
noting
that
money,
which
was
carried
forward
to
ensure
those
works
were
done.
M
It's
apps,
I
I,
have
to
say
that
I
think
the
tone
of
the
debate
this
evening
is
entirely
unnecessary.
It's
been
carping,
it's
been,
it's
been
negative
and
it's
been
highly
personal
and
I.
Think,
quite
frankly,
we
can
all
rise
above
that
a
little
bit,
but
I
hope
that
that
clarification,
I've
given
has
been
clear
if
it's
not
I'm
very
happy
to
give
more.
R
R
B
B
We're
now
it
turns
out
the
gender
item
for
three
on
pages

to

of
the
executive,

the
Conservatives

the
labor

to
the
conservatives

our
councillors

and
Massey.
The

appointment
will
be
Town

a
ton
of
Tunnicliffe
our

the
Thornborough
as
the
executive
councilor
to
introduce.
The

wishes
councillors
on
what
Thornborough
do
wish
to
introduce.
K
Mr.
mayor
I,
as
we
approach
the
end
of
the
three
year
cycle,
I'd
just
like
to
thank
the
current
councillor,
represent
the
City
Council
representatives,
mr.
back
Norton,
mr.
Schofield,
miss
Holliday
and
mr.
Brown,
and
also
the
Tunnicliffe
who
has
been
in
position
for
a
while.
We've
got
councillor
Hassan
councillor
sergeant,
who
are
newly
on
the
committee
and
the
whole
committee
may
do
some
extraordinary
things
up
to
the
end
of
the
year,
but
so
I.
K
Z
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
mayor,
take
the
opportunity
to
welcome
new
executive
councilor
former
to
her
new
role
and
also
to
thank
the
previous
counselor
counselor
Smith
for
her
contribution
to
the
portfolio.
I
will
try
to
keep
my
carping
to
the
absolute
minimum
during
this
non-contentious
item,
like
not
a
big
fan
of
criticism
this
afternoon.
I
am
sore
this
evening
I
understand.
So,
let's
try
to
be
gentle
with
you
on
this
occasion
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
panel
or
a
really
useful,
engaging
selection
process.
Z
We
had
12
fantastic
applicants
on
this
occasion
and
it
was
a
really
difficult
choice.
We
were
back
to
support
I
think
we
came
to
some
really
good
recommendations.
So
let's
thank
the
Executive
Council
for
accepting
the
recommendations
of
the
panel
and
I'm
happy
to
see
that
the
Conservatives
will
be
a
partially
refreshed
group
by
these
appointments
and
congratulate
be
successful.
Z
The
river
cam
is
an
especially
important
and
famous
feature
of
a
city:
it's
a
home,
it's
a
master
of
natural
environment,
a
social
space
and
a
playground
for
residents
and
tourists
alike.
It's
an
also
an
important
commercial
space
and
I
think
the
concern
and
I
think
the
Conservatives
and
their
work.
E
Guess
I'd
say
a
few
words
about
the
selection
process
for
the
conservators.
The
selection
panel
consisted
of
councillor
Gillespie
a
kind
summer
Gerty
and
myself
meeting
a
month
ago
on
17th
of
September
Oscar.
:
I
certainly
gave
the
nomination
as
a
thorough
consideration
that
evening
and
came
to
a
collective
decision
that
the
people
are
stated
in
the
report.
Should
we
put
forward
those
our
may
block
Kate
Hirst,
Jim,
Ross
and
Sarah
didn't
Salisbury
further,
so
that
would
like
to
nominate
two
counselors
to
join
the
conservators,
and
these
are
nikki
massey
and
mike
sergeant.
B
X
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
Cambridge,
City
Council,
as
the
Licensing
Authority
is
risk,
is
required
to
discharge
responsibilities
under
the
covering
act
of
2005
and
for
those
of
us
who
haven't
been
over
any
of
us
who
have
been
in
there
on
the
lassithi
committee
is
there
are
three
objectives
that
you
have
to
beat.
You
have
to
prevent
gambling
from
being
a
source
of
crime
and
disorder
being
associated
with
crime
or
disorder
or
been
used
to
support
crime.
X

Y
B
R
I
just
wanted
to
say
the
opportunity
to
clarify
the
amendment
we
put
forward
in
the
adoption
papers,
how
we
thank
the
panel
for
their
work
in
assessing
these
special
responsibilities
of
the
the
some
of
the
councillors.
But
we
felt
that
they
hadn't
understood
the
extent
to
which
the
work
of
the
Command
Authority
and
our
council
representative
on
the
government
order.
The
new
mind
Authority.
R
R
The
local
early
early
P
used
to
do
the
left
and
we
felt
that
clearly
the
experience
of
the
our
representative
on
the
combined
Authority
board
was
that
full
of
full
allowance
should
be
appropriate
rather
than
50%
allowance,
and
that's
why
we
put
forward
this
proposed
amendment
I
hope
you
accept
it.
Thank
you.
AC
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
or,
to
reiterate
the
point
in
the
castle
of
Brooklyn,
says
wave
about
the
amount
of
work
which
is
now
being
carried
out
by
councillors
from
the
chamber
here,
away
from
the
guild
hall,
run
away
and
away
from
the
city
and
how
that
amount
of
work
that
we
that
we
councilors
are
now
expected
to
carry
out
he's
over
and
above
the
amount
of
work
that
was
first
in
place.
When
many
of
us
were
first
elected,
not
just
me
mana
that
some
of
the
more
recent
councils
who've
been
elect
elected
as
well.
AC
What
I
would
ask
the
council
and
the
next
time
when
we
go
when
we
go
to
the
independent
panel,
to
look
at
took
agreement
through
enumeration
again
is
in
light
of
that.
The
amount
of
work,
that's
being
done
by
certain
councillors
away
from
the
council,
puts
more
pressure
on
those
councillors
who
do
their
work
within
within
the
wards
and
within
within
the
city,
our
allowances
for
back
bangs,
counter
councillors.
AC
For
this
city
for
this
authority,
it
won't
affect
me
because
I'll
be
longer,
but
I
do
think
that,
when
we're
talking
about
multipliers
based
on
the
basic
rate
draws
into
focus
how
low
that
basic
rate
is
for
backbench
councillors
that
are
affected
by
the
knock-on
effect
of
the
work
that
is
done
by
other
councillors.
Away
from
this
chamber
away
from
this
council.
AD
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
it
felt
unfortunately
a
little
easy
for
this
amendment
to
go
to
civic
affairs,
doubling
the
allowance
for
one
post
on
the
ca
board,
and
there
was
very
evident
event
at
the
time
and
read
or
printer
now.
The
announcement
is
only
the
amendments
are
only
now
halfway
through
the
item.
Now,
I
don't
disagree
with
many
of
the
comments
that
were
made
opposite
of
him.
I,
remember
the
opposite.
Just
now.
There
is
a
lot
of
work
involved
with
combined
Authority,
but
that
could
apply
to
a
lot
of
the
posts
involved.
AD
It
feels
largely
pointless
to
ask
independent
panel
from
looking
to
allowances
if
the
results
are
not
taken
back
with
the
much
seriousness
as
they
could
have
been
when
it
comes
to
the
actual
scrutiny
meeting
I'm,
absolutely
not
at
versed.
Council
has
been
given
fair
enumeration
for
their
work,
because
without
that
we
will
not
get
truly
diverse
representation,
but
I
do
feel
it
would
be
appropriate
if
more
of
evidence
was
put
in
front
of
us
when
we
considered
these
things
so
that
were
actually
able
to
come
to
a
proper
conclusion
ourselves.
AD
AD
F
V
It's
going
to
be
very
few
and
we're
going
to
be
making
sure
the
only
people
who
conserve
on
these
committees
on
these
boards
are
people.
Who've
got
their
own
financial
income
outside
of
employment
or
people
who
are
retired
and
I.
Think
it's
an
ongoing
issue
that
we
need
to
look
at
and
discuss
with
a
remuneration
panel.
I
made
this
very
strongly
and
I
got
the
strong
impression
from
them
that
they
felt
their
hands
were
tied
in
what
they
could
do.
V
So
when
they
came
forward
with
only
50%
of
an
SRA
for
the
leader
on
the
combined
authority,
I
felt
they
did
that
on
the
basis
they
felt
their
hands
were
tied
and
I.
Think
it
may
be
that
we
need
to
have
discussions
with
government
about
how
we
are
in
remunerating
counselors
and
on
their
increasing
workload,
because
at
the
moment
it's
not
sufficient
for
the
amount
of
work.
We're
asking
people
to
do
and
to
represent
this
city.
AE
Thanks
I
just
want
to
very
briefly
reiterate
or
will
reflect
what
counselor
sergeants
just
said
in
that
the
commitment
to
serve
this
council,
including
on
outside
bodies,
can
be
quite
astonishingly,
time-consuming
and
it's
time
when
you
cannot
earn
money
when
I
was
serving
as
an
executive,
counselor
I
was
only
able
to
work
part
time,
and
so
every
hour
that
I
gave
to
this
council
was
an
hour
when
I
could
not
earn
money.
I
could
not
earn
enough
money
not
to
get
into
debt
during
that
period
of
time.
T
A
You
know
it's
working
now
thanks.
Mr.
merry
yeah
I
wanted
to
support
the
sentiments
that
the
amount
of
councillors
do
not
just
with
council
business
but
speaking
to
residents
and
going
to
meetings,
they're
invited
to
takes
up
a
lot
of
time
and
work.
In
fact,
time
can
be
difficult
as
well.
A
lot
of
employers
want
someone
in
the
office
five
days
a
week
in
software,
if
I'm
stuff,
like
that,
they
weren't
you
all
the
time
or
not
at
all.
A
So
it's
often
a
choice
to
be
a
counselor
full-time
in
a
sense
and
to
them
to
support
councilors
to
do
the
work
well,
I'm
up
for
reimbursing
the
the
world
like
the
GCP
that
doesn't
need
to
be
done.
That
need
to
be
done
properly
to
compete
with
the
authorities
in
a
way
paying
their
representatives
quite
a
lot
more.
G
Thank
You,
mayor
I,
just
I,
also
went
to
the
renumeration
panel
and
made
an
argument
that
suggested
that
the
council
leader
their
role
on
the
combined
authority,
is
so
important
for
this
city.
I
served
on
the
scrutiny
committee
for
a
year
and
looking
in
from
outside,
it
was
very
clear
that
the
amount
of
work
that
the
City
Council
leader
actually
has
to
do
is
colossal.
G
Now,
I
think
that
the
current
incumbent
underestimates
what
he
actually
does,
because
he
defends
this
city
in
a
completely
hostile
environment,
an
environment
where
there
are
no
other
labor
or
no
other
than
that.
Let's
say
no
other
labor
representatives
and
he
is
piling
in
there
and
defending
this
city
now
supported
to
a
certain
extent
by
the
Lib
Dems.
But
he
is
defending
this
city
alone
and
the
amount
of
work
that
he
actually
has
to
do
to
do.
G
S
Only
to
say
that
obviously
I
agree
with
everything
my
colleagues
have
said,
and
the
council
of
agents
just
stolen,
my
thunder
so
I
was
just
lining
all
through
that.
So
of
course
I
support.
The
this
one
hundred
percent
renew
my
council
agency
said
but,
however,
also
taken
board
councillor
O'connor's
comments
about
the
time
factor
and
actually
come
in
late
to
committee,
not
having
to
profit
on
to
consider
it.
I
checked
out
on
board
and
I
feel
quite
right
to
say
that
and
ensure
that
doesn't
happen
again,
but
I'll
be
voting
for
this.
Of
course,.
B
F
Thank
You
mr.
Barrett
5c,
yes,
so
mr.
Mehra
I'd
like
first
to
acknowledge
that
the
civic
affairs
committee
did
kindly
agree
to
a
change
of
the
dates
involved
in
the
way
that
this
new
approach
that
they
want
to
support,
the
budget
scrutiny
would
actually
work.
So,
if
passed,
these
recommendations
would
not
reduce
the
time
available
for
opposition
budget
amendments
to
be
prepared
and
we're
grateful
for
that.
F
But
I
did
indicate
to
the
committee
when
I
went
along
there,
that
this
doesn't
mean
that
we
accept
the
overall
proposal
on
the
table
here
which
affects
much
more
than
that
issue
in
a
way
that
I
want
to
underline.
What
I
think
is
being
proposed
here
is
quite
serious.
It's
it's
more
than
having
the
opportunity
for
the
council's
budget
to
be
scrutinized.
It
means
that
whatever
else
screws
scrutiny
committees
do
you
do
to
scrutinize
the
portfolio
of
services
within
our
responsibilities.
F
Apart
from
some
aspects
of
housing,
they
will
have
no
opportunity
to
scrutinize
the
finances
for
those
services
alongside
their
policy
decisions.
This
breaks
any
line
of
sight
to
financial
effectiveness
proportional
and
priority
allocation
of
funds
and
the
value
for
money.
Under
these
proposals,
there
will
in
fact
be
only
one
occasion
for
public
scrutiny
of
the
general
fund
budget
by
one
small
six-member
committee
with
other
items
on
its
agenda
not
to
do
with
the
budget
before
it
gets
then
voted
on
as
a
whole
by
the
full
council.
F
Before
these
charge
changes,
there
would
have
been
five
opportunities
by
four
different
committees
according
to
their
different
responsibilities.
Now,
with
money,
tight
and
financial
judgment
critical,
this
is
a
terrible,
false
economy
amongst
the
many
threads
in
the
public
debate
about
financial
failure
of
whole
councils,
like
Northampton
share,
is
the
importance
good
scrutiny.
The
proposal
here
is
moving
this
council
in
totally
the
wrong
direction.
As
things
get
tough,
you
need
more,
not
less
scrutiny.
Members
opposite,
obviously
have
the
votes
to
approve.
F
This
change
today
administration's
sometimes
treat
strict
scrutiny
of
their
plans
as
a
luxury
or
superfluous.
With
some
honorable
exceptions,
scrutiny
is
typically
led
by
opposition
members.
It's
what
we
do
as
part
of
supplying
a
challenge
and
securing
accountability
in
a
pluralist
system.
It's
sometimes
inconvenient
and
frustrating
for
an
ominous
administration
to
submit
to,
but
he
is
in
the
greater
good
under
our
administration
of
the
council.
This
opportunity
was
provided
to
members
opposite
in
their
role
as
an
opposition
and
as
lead
scrutineers
at
that
time,
and
you
would
have
expected
nothing
else.
F
It's
this
that
you're
now
I
think
you're
masculine.
It's
not
the
compensation
to
have
a
show-and-tell
presentation
about
the
administration's
budget
in
private,
behind
closed
doors.
This
could
be
set
up
without
resort
to
changing
the
Constitution,
as
we're
being
asked
to
do
today,
and
there
may
be
a
demand
for
it,
and
there
may
not
be.
The
issue
here
is
what
you
are
proposing
to
close
down.
F
Scrutiny
needs
to
be
carried
out
under
the
public
eye.
One
of
the
tools
of
an
opposition,
which
can
obviously
be
outvoted
at
any
time
numerically,
is
their
ability
to
draw
out
facts
into
the
public
domain
and
discuss
them
there
to
enable
public
opinion
and
I
feel
sure
that
members
offers
it
have
not
missed
this
perspective
as
they
held
it
themselves.
Well,
while
utilizing
the
opportunity
to
scrutinize
our
administration's
budgets,
it
seems
to
us
today
that
it
is
precisely
because
they
do
understand
the
potential
of
scrutiny
that
they
are
happy
to
so
radically
limit
it.
F
R
There
will
still
be
the
opportunity
for
scrutiny
at
these
treasured
stratagem,
Resources
Committee,
which
will
be
followed
by
executive
meeting
to
discuss
the
whole
issue.
The
opposition
represents
this,
for
each
of
these
portfolios
will
obviously
be
we've
been
willing
to
wish
to
turn
up
and
make
their
scrutiny.
Observations
at
that
point,
and
I
would
suggest
that
that
is
the
answer
to
the
problem.
You're
suggesting
the
whole
of
proposal.
R
The
other
part
of
this
process
to
reduce
reduce
the
number
of
stressing
resources
meetings
which
were
would
by
one
by
reducing
my
my
canceling
it
altogether
and
combining
the
exact
meeting
with
this
and
our
that
will
of
the
hell,
and
that
clearly
is
a
more
efficient
way
of
running
the
business.
So
I
think
we
have
addressed
you're
prepared
concerns.
P
I
am
a
total
believer
in
scrutiny
and
I
think
that
it's
it's
crucially
both
by
members
of
the
majority
group,
but
also
challenge
and
scrutiny
by
by
the
opposition.
That
makes
sure
that
pre
scrutiny
works
the
best
affair,
the
what
counts
the
big
cut
seeks
to
describe
is
major
debates
in
the
other
committees
which
we've
now
got
the
environment
and
community
housing
scrutiny
in
relation
to
general
fund
and
we've
got
the
other
committee
being
as
strategy
resources
as
well
as
planning
in
transport.
P
P
The
reception
of
the
budget
and
all
of
the
work
that
officers
have
to
put
into
what's
a
lot
of
work
doesn't
actually
generate
any
great
change
or
challenge
council
a
bit
wrongly
said
that
there's
only
now
going
to
be
one
opportunity
public
to
scrutinize
or
to
challenge,
and
that
happens
both
at
the
SS
strategy,
Resources
Committee
and
at
the
executive-
and
it
happens
in
this
council
chamber.
So
there
are
three
and
at
each
job
there
are
opportunities
to
press
for
changes.
P
So
I
want
to
make
our
business
to
ensure
that
the
budget
is
presented
in
a
way
and
I've
asked
offices
this
to
ensure
that
there
is
clarity
within
the
budget
and
how
its
presented,
so
that
members
of
the
committee's
can
actually
see
what
their
changes
are
in
their
budget.
I
also
remind
councilor
bit
that
the
budget
actually
just
focuses
in
a
way
on
the
top
of
the
iceberg
or
on
part
ice,
not
an
iceberg,
but
on
the
top
five
or
10%,
certainly
on
the
under
our
administration.
P
I
can't
speak
for
yourselves,
but
if
you're
only
focusing
also
on
the
changes,
I,
don't
think
many
committees
do
proper
financial
scrutiny.
Perhaps
that
would
be
one
route
that
they
could
actually
make.
A
difference
is
to
actually
just
look
at
the
whole
of
their
budget
because,
as
councilor
big
knows,
the
main
focus
in
the
budget
debates
there
is
on
changes
not
on
a
lot
of
the
quantum.
P
So
there
is
no
diminution
and
there
is
the
opportunity
which
I
hope
counselors
take
of
actually
getting
into
the
greater
understanding
of
the
budget,
because
there
will
be
both
briefings
early
on
and
then
these
three
opportunities
we
had
and
I've
got
30
seconds.
I
presume
we
had
imposed
on
us
this
extra
strategy
and
resources
committee
to
have
a
strategy
and
resources
committee,
which
is
essentially
only
to
look
at
the
amendments
up
from
the
opposition,
is
frankly
a
superfluous
waste
of
time
when
it
can
all
be
done
in
a
single
meeting
there.
AC
AC
A
lot
of
work
is
done
on
in
civic
affairs
through
consensus
and
we
discuss
things
through
and
we
rarely
argue,
but
we
do
have
some
sometimes
from
quite
deep,
deep,
decent
debates,
they're
on
different
issues
and
a
notice
from
memory
and
from
that
from
the
minutes
that
the
Liberal
Democrat
amendment
that
was
put
forward
by
counsel
O'connell
but
brought
brought
to
committee,
but
by
Councillor
big,
was
passed
unanimously.
As
was
these.
Are
these
dis
motion
at
at
civic
affairs?
So
if
I
was
a
real
long
cynic?
Mr.
AC
H
You
smear
we've
all
heard
this
evening,
how
other
authorities
undertake
their
scrutiny
or
lack
of
scrutiny,
as
we've
heard
in
the
previous
item
that
lack
of
transparency
leads
only
one
way,
it
leads
to
complacency.
It
leads
to
administration,
that
is
lazy
and
it
leads
to
administration.
Ultimately,
that
fails
and
I
hope,
mr.
mayor,
that
this
is
not
the
thin
end
of
the
wedge,
because
we
see
elsewhere
how
that
approach
is
not
the
approach
that
the
people
of
Cambridge
want
more
than
anywhere.
H
That
was
an
item
that
was
proposed
by
us
as
part
of
the
budget
process.
Now
you
may
have
not
accepted
it
in
that
particular
committee,
but
at
least
you
did
a
half
u-turn
later
on,
and
that
in
itself
is
an
illustration
of
the
importance
of
that
level
of
scrutiny.
I
only
hope
that
we're
not
going
down
a
route
that
we
see
in
other
authorities,
because
that
would
be
sad
for
the
authority
here
and
it
will
be
sad
for
the
people
of
Cambridge.
E
I,
like
council
events
that
wasn't
anything
but
since
councillor
bicker
said
we
said
I'll
just
say
something
so
I
think
he's
just
confused
between
the
idea
according
to
quantity
and
quality,
so
you
can
obviously
have
several
meetings
and
have
this
chance
to
ask
the
same
question.
But
what
really
needs
to
happen
exclusively?
Is
you
only
need
one
meeting
one
chance
to
say
something
needs
to
be
the
right
thing
to
say
at
that
time.
E
So
I
think
it's
just
this
confusion
between
if
you
have
lots
and
lots
and
lots
of
meetings
and
accounts
or
you'll
get
better
scrutiny.
No,
that
isn't
the
case
and
they've
proved
that
by
failure
in
themselves
over
the
years
when
they
were
in
charge.
What
their
needs
to
do
is
to
ask
the
right
question
at
the
right
time.
That's
what
needs
to
happen.
AD
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
regarding
the
comments
to
work
the
matrice.
Now
we
recognized
that
into
the
confession
in
the
council
ruling
group:
do
have
the
votes
to
push
through
these
things,
because
you
are
the
ruling
group,
it
would
have
been
little
bit
silly
for
us
in
civic
affairs,
trunky
cup
of
us
and
not
put
through
an
amendment
and
such
as
when
we
did
knowing
that
he
was
going
to
be
defeated.
Anyway,
we
tried
to
achieve
what
we
thought
was
best
for
the
council.
That
doesn't
mean,
though,
that
we
do
not.
AD
We
should
not
express
our
concerns
when
it
comes
to
adopting
aids
here
and
to
put
those
on
record
I,
don't
think
that's
grandstanding
at
all
I
think
that's
just
the
normal
course
of
council
business
and
also,
although
the
adoption
Amendment,
you
know
lab,
you
know
unanimous,
which
I'm
grateful
as
I
recall.
There
was
no
vote
on
the
final
item
and
we
kind
of
went
through
on
an
odd.
So
to
say,
unanimous
is
not
quite
correct
and
I
believe.
The
adoption
note
has
now
been
corrected
or
updated
to
reflect
that.
M
Yeah
I've
just
called
up
the
minutes
of
this
particular
meeting,
so
that
I'm-
not
quoting
this
wrongly,
but
thinking
back
to
the
meeting
of
the
executive
that
took
place
in
January
and
we
all
turned
up
and
we
were
all
expecting
questions
and
I'm.
Looking
at
the
minutes
and
I
see
it's
absolutely
the
case
that
questions
were
asked
of
only
two
executive
councilors
in
that
meeting
the
rest
of
us
sat
there.
No
questions
were
asked
that
was
the
app
was
an
opportunity
for
scrutiny
that
was
not
taken
up
now.
M
AF
AF
You
know
shying
away
from
a
scrutiny
sort
of
the
scrutiny
committee
being
ridiculous
by
the
elected
mayor
of
that
combined,
Authority
and
I.
Just
think
we
have
an
opportunity
in
this
council
to
send
a
set,
a
counterpoint,
all
right.
The
reason
why
the
leader
has
to
spend
so
much
time
on
the
combined
authority
as
as
he
just
voted
in
the
previous
item.
AF
It's
precisely
that
it's
lack
of
transparency
at
the
very
fundamental
level
and
and
to
a
certain
extent,
you
know,
I,
think
the
leader
himself
and
the
benches
opposite
are
a
little
bit
to
blame
for
the
institutional
set
up
that
allowed
for
that
lack
of
transparency.
But
we
have
an
opportunity
here
not
to
go
down
a
similar
route
because
I
think
sort
of
then
saying.
Oh
there
were
no
questions
asked
there
for
scrutiny
is
not
necessary,
is
actually
not
the
right
way.
That's
exactly
what
the
mayor
of
the
combined
authority
would
say.
Thank
you.
O
Cats
arrested
Thank
You,
mr.
no
I
think
I've
lost
the
plot
somewhere
and
we've
just
been
debating
about
scrutiny
and
counsel
O'connell's.
This
point
there.
She
was
sat
on
the
committee
where
they
were
scrutinizing
this
report,
but
she
can't
remember
how
it
got
through
it
went
through
on
a
knot.
Now
they
want
more
scrutiny.
They've
sat
on
a
committee.
It
was
voted
unanimous,
which
unanimous
means
everybody,
but
she
can't
remember
if
it
went
through
unanimously
of
who
was
a
nod
by
somebody.
U
Do
have
some
emails
in
front
of
me.
I
just
wondered
if
well
to
be
honest,
it
did.
It
wasn't
changed
in
the
minutes
effectively.
It
was
I.
Think
I
agreed
that
there
hadn't
been
a
vote
on
the
final
item.
I
don't
carry.
It
would
confirm
that
there
is
a
just
a
point
of
information
or,
if
that's
the
correct
term,
it
wasn't
voted
through
unanimously.
At
the
same
time,
I
would
hope
we
can't
keep
civic
affairs
to
be
a
friendly
and
and
unsupportive.
D
B
D
B
K
K
So
I'd
like
to
thank
resident
:,
who
tweeted
on
the
29th
of
September
at
8:32
a.m.
about
grass
on
the
barn,
will
road-crossing
and
also
at
12:10
p.m.
that
it
had
been
cleared
away
on
the
same
day.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
resident
Marcus,
who
tweeted
on
a
13th
of
October
at
12:27,
that
the
toilet
from
Lamas
land
needed
cleaning
I
know
that
this
has
been
looked
into
now.
K
If
found,
and
let
us
know
that
some
food
outlets
were
using
blue
plastic,
refuse
bags
for
food
waste,
I
would
be
able
to
inform
them
about
the
increase
in
enforcement
officers
from
three
to
six
and
to
more
being
recruited
and
our
antique
camp
Antony
litter
campaign
coming
very
soon
about
using
signage,
new
media
and
other
communication
channels.
I've
got
spot
cleaning
and
our
program
for
water
pressures.
K
This
is
my
second
council
meeting
as
an
account
slur.
In
my
experience.
The
Lib
Dems
have
a
100%
record
of
questions
about
street
cleaning
and
public
toilets.
So
I
would
like
to
offer
counsel
and
Gerti
the
opportunity
to
join
me
at
5
a.m.
or
6
a.m.
one
morning
to
work
alongside
the
street
cleaning
team
to
find
out
more,
and
he
would
then
be
able
to
have
his
own
uniform
to.
Z
Z
She
seemed
to
be
so
haven't.
So.
At
the
last
session
of
this
council,
we
did
offer
quite
a
helpful
amendments
which
would
have
allocated
some
of
the
unspent
but
budgets
in
the
street
cleaning
direct
budget
line
for
an
additional,
deep,
clean
of
city
center
streets.
Now,
naturally,
the
amendment
was
rejected
by
the
labor
administration,
who
assured
us
that
the
requested
level
of
clean
is
already
being
undertaken,
but
the
briefest
glance
of
what
you
have
just
referred
to
yourself
as
City
Center
gross
spots,
shows
that
this
we
could
do
and
should
do
a
great
deal
more.
Z
Since
then,
the
council
has
been
contacted
by
a
business
owner
on
Regent,
Street
and
I.
Think
it's
important
to
ask
the
Executive
Council
about
the
serious,
ongoing
public
health
issue
there.
The
business
in
question
is
a
traditional
shop
but
is
surrounded
by
rest,
restaurants
and
being
busy
at
night.
They
place
their
rubbish
on
the
street
overnight
for
collection
early
in
the
morning,
which
we
can
very
much
look
forward
to
collecting
together,
but
the
food
wastes
in
those
refuse
sacks
does
tend
to
leak
out
and
rotting
fatty
miss
gets
trodden
into
the
pavement
on
Regent
Street.
Z
Would
the
executive
counselor
like
to
elaborate
on
why
this
has
now
been
contrived
to
the
resident
as
an
ongoing
issue
over
a
month
later,
because
users
of
Regent
Street
are
faced
with
an
unpleasant
mess,
and
there
I
suggest
once
again
that
the
additional
deep-clean
might
have
been
a
good
idea.
After
all,
most
men.
K
I
Mayor
on
the
face
of
it,
it's
a
welcome
development.
Scrapping
the
cap
is
something
that
we
on
this
side
of
the
chamber
have
been
calling
for,
and
it's
pleasing
that
the
Prime
Minister
has
finally
grasped
the
urgent
need
to
build
or
counter
homes
for
rent.
However,
the
devil
will
be
in
a
detail.
It's
over
two
weeks
since
the
Prime
Minister
announced
this,
and
only
today
the
chief
executives
receive
a
letter
from
James
broken
shared
the
housing
secretary
on
this
subject.
I
It
appears
that
this
was
a
last-minute
addition
to
to
assume
a
speech
and
court
civil
servants
on
the
hall.
What
we
now
know
is
that
governments
are
consult
with
our
to
consult
with
councils
on
the
draft
determination
that
would
revoke
previous
determinations
on
government
which
place
limits
on
how
much
we
could
borrow
against
our
housing
stock.
Nevertheless,
we
need
more
detail
about
how
this
will
work,
and
it's
likely
that
this
information
will
emerge
in
the
budget
on
the
29th
of
October.
We
have.
I
The
determination
do
to
come
into
effect
that
they,
after
James
broken
share,
says
that
and
I
quote,
their
aim
is
to
remove
the
borrowing
cap
as
soon
as
possible.
We
need
to
hold
up
to
that
promise
as
we
need
these
powers
now
we
have
to
get
all
the
urgent
job
of
tackling
the
housing
crisis.
It
cannot
wait
and
those
on
housing
needs
which
they
cannot
wait.
M
As
someone
with
18
years
experience
as
a
teacher
and
school
leader,
I
know
that
for
many
families
the
holidays
are
especially
difficult
during
term
time.
There
were
free
school
meals
for
young
people
who
need
them,
but
of
course,
these
disappear
in
the
holidays.
So
this
scheme
is
much
needed
in
supplementing
the
family
food
budget,
but
it's
much
more
than
that.
The
scheme
is
open
to
everyone.
It's
not
means-tested,
there's
no
stigma
in
attending
and
the
sessions
also
offer
activities
for
young
people
and
community
for
parents.
M
There
are
five
venues
in
the
city
that
offer
holiday
lunches,
there's
buckin
Street
Neighborhood
Center,
rah,
Street,
Community,
Center,
brownsfield,
Meadows,
The
Meadows,
and
the
Church
of
the
Good
Shepherd
also
run
a
holiday
lunch
scheme
as
well
and
I.
Think
the
numbers
of
lunch
is
provided
so
far
in
2018
are
really
impressive.
AG
M
Okay,
so
over
October
half-term
we're
piloting
lunches
in
a
new
venue
in
Queen
Edith's
and
a
Trumpington
pavilion
and
we're
doing
the
latter
in
partnership
with
Cambridge
sustainable
food,
which
I'm
particularly
excited
about
we're.
Looking
to
work
in
Abbey,
Ward's
I'm,
developing
a
lunch
offering
later
in
the
year.
There
we're
also
looking
into
running
Christmas
meals
for
families.
I
Additional
beds
will
be
provided
when
there
ever
turns
bad
swept
beds
are
not
provided
continuously
over
the
swept
period,
but
I
opened
and
closed
by
the
council
in
response
to
conditions
generally,
authorities
will
call
swept
when
the
forecast
is
all
three
or
more
consecutive
nights
of
sub-zero
sub-zero
temperatures,
however,
came
into
the
council
has
always
adopted
a
more
common-sense
approach.
Turnus
also
calling
swept
when,
however,
has
been
wet
for
long
periods
or
when
there
has
been
a
long
period
of
when
it
is
cold,
but
not
freezing.
I
We
gather
intelligence
to
help
us
make
decisions,
principally
from
the
street
outreach
team
and
jimmy's,
which
administers
swept
on
our
behalf,
and
we
will
often
cause
threat,
because
these
frontline
services
advisory
should
swept
is
open
to
all
comers,
including
people
without
a
local
connection
and
all
with
no
recourse
to
public
funds.
All
that
is
required
as
an
acceptable
level
of
behavior
swept
is
used
whenever
possible
as
a
way
of
engaging
with
people
who
do
not
use
our
services.
In
other
circumstances.
I
I
Four
of
those
counted
sleeping
rough
had
accommodation
during
swept
last
year,
there
was
only
one
night
when
use
of
bed
switch
capacity
in
some
of
the
codis
whether
there
were
empty
beds
for
those
persistent
to
taking
out
what
we
presently
offer
varme
finish
some
of
the
most
visible
people
on
our
streets.
We
are
working
on
an
expanded
form
of
housing.
First,
first
piloted
in
Cambridge.
Several
years
ago,
an
officer
has
been
appointed
to
bring
our
compliments
of
such
accommodation,
Optimas
covered
to
a
target
of
10
we're
also
looking
at
other
housing.
First
models.
H
Smith
I
thank
the
executive
counselor.
As
we've
seen
from
the
written
question.
Five
homeless
people
died
in
this
city
in
the
last
12
months.
Five,
that's
five
too
many,
that's
five
too
many
and,
as
we
can
see
from
the
steady,
sweat
statistics
over
70
individuals
were
helped
during
the
provision
of
the
service
again
from
the
written
question,
and
that
figure
suggests
that
figure
and
those
facts.
Mr.
H
mayor
suggests
that
the
homeless
crisis
is
still
very
present
in
this
city
as
we
move
towards
the
winter
period,
and
so
can
I
ask
whether
the
executive
councilor
will
give
an
undertaking
to
this
chamber
this
evening
that
the
City
Council
will
take
steps
to
offer
housing
every
night
of
the
winter
period,
not
just
during
the
sweat
protocol
and
not
just
on
a
generous
basis,
but
every
night
during
the
winter
period
for
those
homeless
people
in
the
city,
no
one
person
should
be
sleeping
rough
during
the
home
during
the
winter
period
in
this
city.
Mr.
mayor.
I
Well,
as
my
answer
stated,
my
previous
answer
stated:
accounts
are
canceled
to
swept
a
protocol
which
is
in
place
actually
deals
purpose
efficiently
with
the
demand
which
exists
during
code,
River
periods
and
weather
and
periods
where
the
weather
is
on
it's
bad.
So,
but
I
can't
really
make
a
decision
tonight
about
me
or
whether
or
not
we're
going
to
you
know
open
up
additional
capacity
for
everyone
who's
on
the
streets.
I
This
dis
funding
for
this
er
financial
year
would
allow
police
and
agencies
to
be
out
in
the
streets
from
11:00
a.m.
sorry,
11:00
p.m.
to
Tory
I'm,
issuing
advice
and
assistance
for
those
who
are
sleeping,
rough
and
begging.
It
will
engage
anyone
who
is
in
immediate
need
of
accommodation
to
be
directed
to
a
place
where
a
safe
bed
can
be
we'll
be
waiting
for
them
and
also
provides
rough
sleepers,
assisted
by
the
program
of
are
specifically
funded
member
of
staff
from
juries
duty
to
find
a
more
permanent
housing
solution.
I
M
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
question,
because
this
is
a
really
really
fantastic.
Project.
Activate
is
aimed
at
supporting
children
and
young
people
to
build
essential
skills
and
confidence
as
they
transition
into
secondary
education,
and
it's
now
in
its
third
year
of
delivery.
It's
up
to
this
point.
The
young
people
taking
part
our
pupils
at
one
secondary
school
at
Coleridge,
Community,
College,
working
with
project
partners,
including
Cambridge
Junction.
M
Oh
I
forgot
to
put
my
timer
on
kettles
yards,
the
University
of
Cambridge
museums,
the
new
international
theatre,
the
Museum
of
Cambridge
and
Menagerie
theater,
and
it's
particularly
targeted
at
those
young
people
who
have
not
taken
place
in
creative
activities
in
the
past,
and
the
idea
is
really
to
get
them
to
create
their
own
sense
of
what
they're
interested
in
rather
than
just
say.
We
think
you
should
do
this,
which
I
think
is
particularly
exciting.
So
some
sessions
are
after
on
school
premises,
summer.
At
the
partner
venues.
M
The
focus
is
on
the
development
of
skills
in
creativity,
in
communication
building
confidence
building
resilience
and
also
to
give
them
just
a
wider
sense
of
all
the
exciting
things
that
are
going
on
in
the
city.
They
get
the
opportunity
to
perform
and
present
their
work
and
also
to
gain
the
Arts
Award
qualification.
M
The
school
is
actually
now
consider
is
going
to
make
a
financial
contribution
to
its
delivery,
so
success
so
happy.
Are
they
with
the
work
that's
been
going
on
in
terms
of
the
impact
on
those
young
people
and
we're
now
looking
at
how
we
can
roll
that
further
out
to
more
schools
across
the
city
from
year,
four
I'd,
like
in
my
final
30
seconds,
just
to
give
a
couple
of
quotes
from
students
they've,
given
their
permission
for
this
to
be
used.
I
never
asked
questions,
because
I'm
shy,
activate,
has
helped
me
in
class.
M
I
can
ask
questions
like
if
I
need
help
or
something
it's
really
helpful,
because
I've
become
more
confident
when
I
speaking
asking
questions
in
front
of
the
class.
I've
learnt
teamwork.
How
to
make
new
friends
I've
learnt
where
the
museums
are
I,
didn't
go
to
museums
before
and
it's
been
fun
to
go
to
them
and
I.
Think
thanks
to
Lucy,
Ryan
and
Rachel
for
sharing
and
allowing
us
to
celebrate
their
successes
evening.
I
We
have
a
program
that
checks
in
with
news
smoke,
detectors,
detectors,
are
checked
annually
as
part
of
gas
servicing
and
when
properties
are
vacant,
an
or
detectives
of
a
place
on
a
program's
basis.
Every
10
years
last
year
we
had
to
report
that
our
contractor
had
fallen
behind
on
its
work,
but
a
program
is
now
after
date,
we
do
have
some
problems.
Where
detectors
are
due
to
be
replaced
in
tenants
of
not
allowed
us
access
to
do
so.
I
We
will
continue
to
contact
them
to
try
and
persuade
them
of
the
importance
of
this,
where
our
properties
have
fire
alarm
systems.
These
are
checked
in
serviced
every
quarter.
We
are
also
carrying
out
ongoing
information
campaigns
to
remind
our
tenants
and
lease
holders
of
your
boards
of
their
role
in
fire
safety,
and
none
includes
their
reporting
to
us
any
concerns
they
may
have
about
their
detectors.
X
Thank
you
so
much
for
taking
fire
precautions
very
seriously
and
I
understand
as
part
of
the
fire
safety.
Everything
communal
and
common
areas
have
to
be
removed,
including
doormats
signs
and
plans,
regardless
of
whether
the
space
was
internal
or
or
even
outside
spaces,
including
Gardens,
has
a
Layton
group
called
a
beta,
build
a
little
bit
overzealous,
penalizing
the
residents
who
look
after
their
homes,
such
as
a
leash,
Litchfield's
residents.
I
I'm
afraid
I
disagree,
world
counselor
purpose
has
been
saying
and
I
think
also
some
of
the
several
of
Liberal
Democrats,
who
made
a
similar,
similar
arguments,
are
housing
scrutiny.
Committee
he's
referring
to
the
zero
tolerance
policy
in
communal
areas,
which
is
which,
which
was
passed,
are
new
interests.
I
know
that
there
is
a
lot
of
dismay
and
concern,
but
I
just
want
to
read
some
text
for
you.
Common
areas,
including
hallways
shared
balconies
landings
and
window
ledges,
must
be
kept
completely
clear.
I
To
enable
a
safe
emergency
evacuation
and
to
reduce
the
spread
of
fire,
we
will
remove
any
objects
found
outside
individual
flats
immediately.
You
may
be
charged
a
cost
of
the
removal
or
storage
of
the
item
or
pushchairs
bicycles,
mobility,
scooters
and
doormats
must
be
stored
either
in
your
property
or
in
other
areas
provided
and
not
in
communal
areas.
Now
that's
how
is
similar
to
our
policy
I
read
something
which
actually
state
it,
which
is
from
the
Eastbourne
Borough
Council,
which
is
run
by
the
Liberal
Democrats.
I
So
I
have
Liberal
Democrats
here,
complaining
that
actually
labor
is
of
implementing
policy
which
in
which
they
vary
their
colleagues,
and
these
one
are
very
happy
to
provide
to
the
tents
there.
So
I
would
say
that
what
we're
doing
is
actually
putting
tenants
first
and
ensuring
that
the
safety
is
power,
because
their
safety
is
paramount.
P
You
for
your
question.
It
is
truly
disappointing
that
the
post
office
is
coming
forward
with
this
proposal.
It
arises
partly
because
at
the
time
that
the
current
leader,
but
not
far,
understand
very
long,
the
Liberal
Democrat
Party
was
in
charge
of
Royal
Mail
privatization.
A
deal
was
struck
to
separate
out
off
cram
post
offices
and
also
a
further
deal
was
struck
to
give
WH
Smiths
a
big
interest
in
the
post
office
industry.
P
Clearly,
the
post
office
at
the
moment
is
run
by
professional
postal
workers.
Who've
been
trained,
it's
in
a
very
accessible
location
on
the
street.
It
can
be
found
by
and
accessed
by,
people
who
are
disabled,
older
people
found
by
tourists
who
need
stamps
found
by
people
who
needs
help
with
passports
or
with
nationality
forms,
and
that
will
not
be
the
case.
So
I'm
I'll
be
very
happy
to
do
as
you
ask
and
write
that
letter
and
I'll
seek
the
support
of
other
councillors
before
I.
P
Y
Give
mr.
mayor,
thank
you
for
that.
Yes,
it's
very
important
that
we
try
and
fight
this
one.
There's
many
post
offices
around
the
city
that
are
not
accessible.
They
have
three
or
four
steps
going
up,
so
a
lot
of
outland
disabled
do
use
that
main
post
office.
As
we
know
all
know,
when
we
walk
past
is
absolutely
full.
You
have
to
queue
sometimes
outside
the
door.
Y
Wh
Smiths
shop
is,
is
not
a
very
good
shot.
There's
too
many
counters
and
stuff,
like
that
and
I.
Think
there's
gonna
be
a
big
problem
with
access
where
we
try
and
use
that
as
well.
So
I
would
urge
everyone
to
get
on
to
this
campaign
and
let's
fight
moving
so
now,
and
just
because
they've
already
moved
it
once
from
across
the
road.
So
let's
keep
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
Well.
P
They
spend
a
lot
of
money,
converting
that
to
be
a
post
office
and,
as
you
suppose
has
been
said,
it
is
used
by
people
who
can't
get
access
to
other
post
offices,
because
the
access
in
some
of
the
sub
post
offices
is
inadequate.
So
we
do
need
to
win
this
argument
also
because
people
who
are
disabled
and
need
to
get
in
and
out
of
post
offices
need
that
facility
and
WH
Smiths
is
not
even
accessible
from
10:00
until
4:00,
because
it's
nowhere
near
disabled
vehicle
access.
J
Thank
you
so
you're
talking
about
you,
say
the
sudden
removal
of
mixed
recycling
bins,
so
one
actually
hasn't
been
removed.
Yet,
basically,
there
are
two
recycling
points,
one
at
Waitrose,
which
is
Hawks
term
Road
and
one
at
Tescos,
which
is
New
Market
Road,
most
of
the
recycling
bins.
There
are
for
complementary
materials
to
things
that
can't
be
taken
from
normal
residential
recycling,
so
things
like
batteries,
light
bulbs,
books,
clothes
and
both
sites.
We've
also
had
blue
bins,
so
anyone
with
any
extra
recycling
could
put
them
there.
J
The
supermarket's
asked
us
to
remove
them
because
they've
had
a
lot
of
complaints
from
their
customers,
so
we
haven't
consulted
with
the
public,
but
we
have
consulted
with
the
owners
of
the
land
who
have
asked
us
to
remove
them,
because
obviously
it's
important
to
maintain
those
sites
for
other
things,
because
in
fact
we
want
to
extend
them,
not
extend
the
area
but
extend
what
we
can
accept
there
so
to
publicize.
We
have
put
posters
up
for
the
one
Hawks
den
it
was
over
a
month
and
the
one
at
Newmarket
Road.
AD
Name,
mister
man.
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
answer.
Several
residents
contacted
me
about
this
because
they
did
find
the
move
of
the
Hawks
remote
have
a
sudden
that
was
so
one
residence
a
word
in
an
email
to
me.
They
were
very
confused
by
the
proposed
changes,
for
instance
the
poster
on
the
site
in
hawkster
mode,
at
least
they
to
record
a
messy
with
no
possibility
of
actually
talking
to
a
human.
He
proposed
the
residence
take
their
waste
to
a
site
elsewhere.
That
was
smaller
and
already
had
a
worse.
AD
They
obviously
were
lasted
ladies
become
the
better
solution.
I
have
to
say
that
despite
several
email
focuses
it's
the
first
time
hearing
and
these
requests
by
Waitrose
Waitrose.
Oh
sorry,
an
interest
highlight
the
facts,
and
really
there
should
have
been
more
communication
about
this
with
both
war.
Counselors
and
resident
associations
can
the
executive
plan
sir,
commit
to
consulting
with
war
counselors,
at
least
informing
it
in
advance
and
appropriate
resident
associations.
If
this
thought
of
change
even
to
happen
in
future,.
J
Thank
you,
so
I
can't
commit
to
consulting,
because
if
we've
got
something
on
somebody
else's
land-
and
they
say
you
need
to
move
it,
we
can't
there's
no
consultation
to
be
had.
However,
I
can
say
that
I
will
feedback
that
we
ought
to
inform
ward
councillors.
We
did
change
the
posters
to
make
them
more
informative
and
the
good
news
is
we're
introducing
quite
a
number
of
ways
for
residents
to
who
have
excess
recycling.
So,
as
has
been
for
the
past
few
years,
you
can
always
get
a
second
or
even
third
blue
bin.
J
Just
for
free,
you
can
do
that
online
or
by
calling
and
then
from
this
October
as
in
now,
if
you
occasionally
have
a
bit
more
recycling,
you
can
either
put
cardboard
tied
up
next
to
your
blue
bin
or
in
a
clear
plastic
sack.
You
can
put
other
mixed
recycling
out
and
it
will
be
taken
with
your
blue
bin
and,
as
I
said
as
part
of
the
review
we're
doing
off
these
recycling
sites.
We
are
hoping
to
introduce
more
things
that
we
can
accept.
J
J
M
M
Projects
have
included
takeover
days
at
Shirley's
colonies,
chesterton
takeover
days
in
Kings,
hedges
and
those
takeover
days
aware.
We
work
with
young
people
to
talk
about
particular
issues
in
their
area,
what
they
would
like
chips
to
deliver
next
and
to
look
at
issues
such
as
travel
provision,
its
make
changes
to
the
half-term
program
to
be
launched
in
January.
So
the
term
time
programs
we
launched
in
January
we've
got
young
people
organizing
litter
picking
sessions.
It's
really
hands-on.
M
They've
also
worked
with
the
Greater
Cambridge
partnership
and
formed
in
the
future
to
consult
with
young
people
on
how
to
improve
the
city
centre
and
that's
part
of
the
shape.
Your
city,
urban
design,
Challenge
event
which
took
place
in
September
2018,
there's
a
takeover
day
coming
up
here
on
the
23rd
of
November,
which
is
looking
particularly
at
community
safety
and
travel
around
the
city.
That's
going
to
be
young
people,
particularly
from
local,
secondary
schools
and
I
believe,
most
myself
and
the
chief
executive,
who
are
on
the
panel
for
that.
M
Looking
forward
to
hearing
the
ideas
that
are
going
to
come
forward
and
there's
also
a
little
bit
of
work
in
process,
because
chips
have
supported
s106
bids
for
park,
improvements
at
Litchfield,
Road,
Gun,
Hill,
close
and
Trumpington
recreation
ground
based
on
earlier
feedback
from
children
in
the
local
area.
So
those
are
currently
the
design
consultation
phase.
But
again
the
young
people
have
been
involved
in
the
shaping
of
those
designs.
AE
You
mr.
mayor
chips
is
something
that's
very
close
to
my
heart
I'm
trying
to
remember
when
I
had
some
responsibility
for
chips,
but
I
definitely
did
I've
got
to
see
the
boats.
I
got
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
there
like
the
boat,
I'm,
good,
the
executive
counselor.
Mr.
mayor,
please
give
us
a
little
bit
of
a
broader
update
or
on
chips,
perhaps
especially
what
it's
got
planned
for
the
winter
months
with
halftime
coming
up.
M
Thank
you,
so
I've
been
having
variety
of
meetings
with
the
leadership
team
at
ship's.
They've
got
some
great
plans
coming
forward
and
always
thinking
about,
particularly
how
we
can
make
sure
that
we're
targeting
our
work
best
to
those
young
people
who
really
need
it.
But
what
I
also
really
like
about
their
approach?
Is
it's
never
kind
of
shutting
anyone
out?
So
it's
really
inclusive
and
I
really
love
that
there's
loads
of
stuff
coming
up
that
schipritt
tips
are
involved
in
coming
up
in
half
term
I'm.
M
Only
sorry
I'm
not
gonna,
be
around
to
go
to
come
and
see
some
of
it
because
it
looks
really
amazing.
So
there
are
things
like
storytelling
and
drumming
with
a
theatre
company
and
I'm
told
that
no
previous
experience
of
drumming
is
necessary
for
this
there's
family
crafts
and
treasure
trails
at
nun's
way.
There's
pumping
pumpkin
carving
at
the
meadows
there's
a
spooky
party
at
Browns
field,
there's
litter,
picking
again
you're,
seeing
a
theme
here
with
soup
for
tea
at
green
and
your
own
recreation
ground,
there's
autumns
arts
and
crafts.
M
The
stories
field
we've
also
got
some
if
I
could
just
stray
slightly
from
chips
to
look
more
widely.
We've
also
got
a
spooky
sports
session
coming
up
for
children
aged
88
over
at
CRC,
and
that
will
include
glow-in-the-dark
sports
and
games.
No,
but
it's
just
wonderful,
because
this
is
the
kind
of
thing
everyone
enjoys
it.
It's
creative
it's
getting
young
people
involved
and
I'm
just
really
excited
about
the
work.
That's
going
on.
I'm
really
want
to
thank
the
team
for
that.
B
B
Gender
item
7
I
thought
it
would
be
helpful
to
remind
members
of
the
rules
of
debate
on
motions,
a
motion
and
any
amendment
will
be
debated
at
the
same
time.
This
means
that
members
can
only
speak
once
in
the
debate
unless
they
have
a
right
of
reply.
The
only
members
with
the
right
of
reply
are
the
relevant
executive,
executive,
councilor
and
the
move
of
the
principle
motion
move
is
of
amendments.
Do
not
have
a
pot
right
of
reply.
B
B
So
I'll
go
straight
to
item
7a
I
call
on
counselor
Johnson
to
move
the
motion,
abolition
of
section
21
of
the
Housing
Act
1988
on
page
2
and
3
of
your
agenda.
A
brief
in
note.
Can
be
found
on
page
23
to
20
and
24
of
the
information
pack
I
understand
council,
the
shield
will
split
will
stack.
Second,
you
have
ten
minutes
between
you.
I
Mayor
the
private
rental
sector
urgently
needs
before
British
tenants
who
rents
privately,
have
weaker
White's
rights
compared
to
renters
in
most
EU
countries
and
rents,
as
a
proportion
of
income
is
amongst
the
highest
in
Europe,
rising
house
prices
and
stagnant
pay
rises
over
the
last
several
years
have
already
made
a
very
difficult
situation
for
many
families
in
Cambridge
and
elsewhere.
More
desperate.
I
Following
pressure
to
act,
the
government
decided
to
consult
on
changes
to
increase
the
length
of
fixed
term
tendencies
from
6
months
to
3
years,
giving
more
stability
to
tenants,
while
still
allowing
them
the
flexibility
to
terminates
a
tenancy
early.
Nevertheless,
the
fact
that
section,
21
of
the
1988
Housing
Act
was
not
consulted
on,
is
concerning
this
elements
of
existing
legislation
allows
a
landlord
to
end
a
tenancy
after
a
fixed
period,
without
providing
any
reason.
This
aspect
of
housing
law
was
not
consulted.
I
The
fact
that
this
aspect
of
housing
law
was
not
consulted
on
shows
that
the
government
continues
to
be
half-hearted
in
taking
will
affirmative
action
in
addressing
the
imbalance
which
presently
exists
in
regards
to
the
relative
powers
held
by
a
landlord
compared
as
opposed
to
a
tenant.
We
need
affirmative
action
now
because
the
evidence
is
compelling
in
stating
as
section
21
evictions
contributes,
the
number
of
households
becoming
homeless
numbers
rocketing
census
starts
the
decade.
I
The
government's
own
figures
make
clear
that
the
ending
of
a
tendency
contributed
to
15%
of
all
homeless
presentations
to
local
authorities
in
2010,
rising
to
31
percent
by
2017.
The
present
year's
figures
are
not
yet
available.
Our
own
casework
numbers
also
supports
the
evidence
of
their
being
a
significant
increase
in
the
numbers
being
affected
under
Section
21,
more
of
which
in
a
moment,
there
is
also
evidence
to
suggest
that
section.
21
is
the
sword
of
Damocles,
by
which
tenants
do
not
report
faults
of
their
accommodation
due
to
fears
that
they
will
be
evicted
in
retaliation.
I
It
is
clear
that
the
public
disagree
with
the
principle
of
no-fault
evictions,
and
so
they
should
bear
in
mind.
The
information
just
cited.
Recent
polling
carried
out
by
servation
the
most
accurate
pollster
of
last
year's
general
election,
suggests
that
only
a
minority
of
20%
of
all
voters
in
a
similar
number
of
Tory
boaters
agree
that
landlord
should
continue
to
evict
a
tenant
about
giving
them
a
reason
in
over
50,000
people
have
signed
a
petition,
organized
body
generation,
rent
campaign
group
and
38°,
calling
on
a
Secretary
of
State
for
housing
to
abolish
section
21.
I
Plus
there
is
support
on
the
subject
from
all
political
hues.
The
conservative
Times
wrote
a
leader
article,
this
June,
arguing
that
the
government
should
legislate
to
abolish
section
21
and
the
London
Assembly
recently
passed
a
motion
proposed
by
the
labor
and
green
groups.
The
Scottish
Parliament's,
using
their
devoted
powers,
have
already
abolished
section
21.
I
I
There
has
been
a
significant
see
increase
in
the
number
who
have
approached
us
in
recent
years
and
is
likely
that
this
case,
though
it
will
increase
further
amongst
other
things,
are
housing
advice
service,
informs
those
affected
affected
of
their
rights
and
can
assist
them
in
exercising
their
ability
to
counts,
claim
against
the
landlord,
which
may
result
in
conversation
being
being
issued
to
relieve
their
homelessness
and,
of
course,
those
who
are
homeless.
As
a
result
of
section,
21
have
priority
in
bidding
for
council
properties
through
home
link
we're
following
a
for
a
short
introductory
period.
I
They
will
have
a
secure
tenancy
with
us
section.
21
does
not
apply
to
council
tenants.
I.
Very
much
hope
that
the
council
could
speak
with
one
voice
this
evening
and
unanimously
support
this
motion.
It
stands
common-sense
that
changes
in
this
area
of
housing
law
is
urgently
needed.
Pressure
needs
to
be
kept
up
on
the
government
to
act
and
go
further
than
they
have
done
so
to
date,
so
I
hope
by
the
leader
writing
to
the
secretary
of
state.
Other
local
authorities
will
follow
us
and
eventually
force
a
change
in
the
law,
giving
more
rights.
I
H
Mr.
mayor,
thank
you
mr.
mayor
I
think
we
all
welcome
this
motion.
Cambridge
is
a
city
where
we
know
the
housing
market
is
broken.
People
can't
afford
to
buy,
let
alone
afford
to
rent
and
actually
in
the
market
where,
within
the
city,
rents
have
gone
up
by
over
15%
in
the
last
three
years,
the
weight
of
the
market
sits
in
favor
of
the
landlord
are
not
the
tenant
and
from
the
work
I've
done
with
shelter
nationally
sheltered
and
crisis
together
did
a
very
interesting
piece
of
analysis.
H
Looking
at
a
sample
population
of
people
who
were
transitioning
from
homeless
into
housing
and
one
of
the
key
things
is
that
actually
having
some
form
of
medium
term
tenancy,
provides
an
opportunity
of
security.
It
enables
you
to
put
down
roots.
It
enables
you
to
make
the
place
where
you're
living
feels
like
home
and
what
this
motion
does.
H
It
acts
as
another
component
to
hopefully
ensure
that
the
government
does
address
these
issues
of
short-term
tendencies,
of
where
people
do
not
feel
as
though
the
place
where
they
live
is
a
home
and
so
from
this
side
of
the
chamber.
Mr.
mayor,
we
fully
support
this
motion
and
we
hope
that
other
authorities
follow
our
example
in
terms
of
putting
pressure
on
the
government.
AH
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
probably
won't
need
the
full
five
minutes
and
20
seconds.
I
just
want
to
say
very
briefly
why
I
support
what's
being
proposed
here?
I
have
personal
experience
or
eviction,
which
happened.
It
was
a
no-fault
eviction.
AH
I
used
to
live
on
Mitchum's,
corner
and
I
was
also
facing
redundancy
at
the
time,
so
I
had
a
double
whammy
of
eviction
and
and
redundancy
which
I
managed
to
dodge
by
getting
another
job,
just
in
time
and
I'm
delighted
to
tell
the
chamber
that
I
was
able
to
find
another
place
to
live
just
in
time.
However,
it
was
a
really
scary
point
in
my
life
and
I
was
delighted
when
I
read
what
councillor
Johnson
is
bringing
to
you
for
consideration.
AH
Today,
it's
been
Labour
Party
policy
for
some
time
now,
including
under
our
previous
leader,
to
try
and
bring
together
something
resembling
parity
with
what
private
tenants
enjoy
across
Europe,
where
arrangements
for
tenancies
are
far
stronger
and
far
better
and
people
who
have
far
better
protections,
and
so
I
would
like
to
pay
tribute
not
just
to
our
current
leader,
but
also
at
Miliband
and
I'd,
also
like
to
thank
councillor
Richard
Johnson
for
bringing
this
forward.
I
do
think
just
in
a
general
sense.
AH
We
all
of
us
would
do
well
to
pay
close
attention
to
how
private
tenants
are
treated,
not
just
in
respect
of
the
arrangements
for
shorthold,
tenancies
and
and
protections
for
people
under
a
eviction
and
I'm
glad
to
see
the
proposed
arrangements
for
prioritization
in
terms
of
the
council.
Housing
register,
but
also
in
terms
of
fees
that
are
charged
by
agencies,
often
simply
to
photocopy
a
piece
of
paper
at
the
end
of
year
and
sign
it
again
and
that'll
be
225
pounds.
AH
AH
One
is
that,
when
I
cleaned
and
scoured
the
flat
that
I
then
moved
to
I
had
to
wait
exactly
six
months
exactly
six
months
before
getting
the
thousand
a
half
pounds
month
and
a
half
in
advance
plus
standard
deposit
back,
and
it
seemed
to
me
that
the
agencies
were
one
was
gaming,
the
system,
knowing
the
point
how
they
could
hold
on
to
the
deposit.
For
that
long.
I.
Don't
really
understand
why?
AH
Because
that
all
the
money
that
is
put
by
tenants
by
way
of
a
deposit
is
supposed
to
be
held
in
a
separate
account,
specific
specifically
for
the
purpose.
But
that
brings
me
to
my
last
point
and
where
the
agencies
are,
in
some
cases,
simply
confiscating
those
deposits
and
I
would
call
on
everyone
to
pay
as
much
attention
to
what
agency's
letting
agencies
are
doing
in
this
city
as
to
what
landlords
are
doing.
Landlord
sometimes
have
a
bit
of
a
bad
reputation,
the
big
bad
landlord
and
find
her
to
be
mindful
of
that.
AH
But
let's
not
forget
that
some
of
the
letting
agencies
I
won't
name
any
names,
but
but
some
of
the
letting
agencies
are
getting
away
with
unfair
practice
non
return
of
deposits
without
any
good
ground,
but
I
really
welcome
what's
being
proposed
here
in
terms
of
the
secure
tendencies
and
just
a
Clara
forum.
Councillor
Richard
Johnson
will
correct
me
if
I've
misunderstood,
but
it
is
not.
AH
AH
AH
There
are
provisions
for
those
people
who
only
require
a
short
tendency
to
not
to
pay
through
the
nose
in
order
to
get
out
of
it,
but
what
it
does
provide
the
other
way
around
is
it
provides
protection
for
those
people
who
who
do
want
to
live
in
warm
place
for
thought
for
a
fair
amount
of
time
and
and
so
that
everything
I've
got
to
say,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
listening
and
thank
you
councillor,
Johnson,
for
bringing
this
to
us
and
Thank
You.
Mr.
Mapp.
B
H
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
brexit,
mr.
mayor,
is
the
most
important
issue
that
we
will
discuss
this
evening.
It
impacts
on
everything
else
we
have
talked
about
in
this
chamber
this
evening.
The
outcome
of
brexit
will
impact
housing
will
impact.
The
general
fund
will
impact
everything
in
our
way
of
life
across
this
city.
It's
perhaps
the
most
important
issue
that
this
city
and
this
country
has
faced
for
the
last
70
years.
H
Unlike
the
majority
of
Cambridge
residents
and
I.
Think
members
in
the
chamber
I'm
a
passionate
European
I,
was
so
passionate
that,
during
the
referendum
campaign,
I
stepped
out
of
Party
politics
and
I
was
a
lead
campaigner
in
Cambridge
for
Europe,
along
with
other
politicians
of
all
political
colors,
including
members
of
the
Labour
Party
and
the
Green
Party,
and
also
people
of
no
political
color
who
were
passionate
about
the
issue.
H
Now,
as
I've
stated
before
in
this
chamber,
I
respect
the
referendum,
vote
and
I
respect
those
people
who
voted
to
leave
the
place
where
I
come
from
voted
by
approximately
70%
to
leave
and
I
understand
some
of
the
reasons
as
to
why
those
people
voted
in
the
way
they
did.
But
no
one
in
the
referendum
voted
to
have
less
money
in
their
pocket.
No
one
in
the
referendum
voted
to
have
a
negative
impact
on
the
economy.
H
No
one,
for
example,
voted
to
have
a
shortage
of
key
medicines
like
insulin
that
we
will
have
if
we
have
a
chaotic
brexit.
So
mr.
mayor,
it
is
only
right,
but
whatever
the
proposal
the
proposed
brexit
deal
is,
and
there
is
a
risk
that
there
may
be
no
deal,
there
is
a
risk
that
we
just
fall
out
of
the
EU
at
the
end
of
March
and
the
chaos
that
that
will
bring
to
this
country
is
unimaginable.
But
assuming
there
is
a
proposal.
It
is
only
right,
mr.
H
mayor,
that
that
proposal
should
be
put
to
the
people
in
a
people's
vote
with
an
option
to
remain
in
the
EU.
Now.
I
believe
that
the
residents
of
Cambridge
want
us
as
politicians
to
do
whatever
it
takes
to
deliver
that
people's
vote.
Mr.
mayor,
with
less
than
six
months
to
go
to
brexit
time
is
running
out.
So
this
motion
is
very
simple.
H
And
despite
the
efforts
of
myself
and
councillor
Smith
over
the
course
of
the
last
48
hours,
we
haven't
been
able
to
find
a
compromise
position
and
I
really
feel
that's
a
real
shame.
I
really
feel
that's
a
real
shame
on
this
really
important
issue,
because
other
authorities,
particularly
the
two
groups
in
other
authorities,
have
been
able
to
find
a
compromise
and
have
been
able
to
vote
in
unison
in
relation
to
the
people's
vote
as
we
saw,
but
the
County
Council
yesterday
and,
as
we
saw
a
week
or
so
ago,
in
South
Cannes.
H
H
Unfortunately,
I
have
to
say
the
amendment
still
does
not
give
that
clarity.
It
still
seeks
to
fudge
mr.
mayor,
it's
very
simple.
The
time
has
come
when
there
can
be
no
more
fudge.
No
ifs,
no
buts,
no
maybes!
You
either
support
the
people's
vote
or
you
don't
it's
as
simple
as
that,
and
mr.
mayor
I'd
like
to
finish
as
Cambridge
days
indicated
on
social
media.
H
Today,
it's
time
for
Cambridge
City
Council
to
back
the
people's
vote
on
brexit,
with
an
option
to
stay
in
the
EU,
not
my
words:
Cambridge
stays
a
body
of
people,
a
very
large
body
of
people
in
this
city
who
represent
the
views
of
the
majority,
so
I
hope.
Mr.
mayor,
that
this
chamber
will
support
my
motion
and
supporter
people's
vote.
B
M
Okay
well,
I
think
it's
safe
to
say.
The
current
state
of
the
brexit
negotiations
is
a
shambles
after
two
years
and
promises
of
a
speedy,
easy
solution.
It's
ridiculous
that
all
the
Tories
have
managed
to
negotiate
is
a
small
except
extension
to
the
transition
period
like
a
lazy
school
student
trying
to
get
an
extension
on
their
homework
because
they
spent
the
weekend
watching
telly.
M
M
Remember
the
attacks
on
Ed
Miliband
not
so
long
ago,
for
not
supporting
the
coffer
of
that
referendum.
I
think
Head
Miliband
was
probably
proved
right
to
be
honest
as
a
proud
European,
as
I.
Think
we're
going
to
be
saying
that
a
lot
tonight,
but
it
happens
to
be
true
and
to
quote
Lloyd
Russell
moil,
who
is
the
Labour
MP
for
Brighton
Kemp
down
Kemp
town?
You
will
probably
have
to
prise
my
EU
passport
out
of
my
cold
dead
hand.
Not
only
am
I
approach
European,
but
so
of
the
majority
of
my
ward
residents.
M
So
you
might
say
it's
obvious
that
I
will
oppose
Theresa
Mays
brexit
shambles,
but
what's
noticeable
is
that
increasingly
those
people
who
voted
leave
are
equally
angry.
I'm
hearing
this
on
the
doorsteps
in
Cambridge,
but
I'm
also
hearing
this
from
friends
who
are
out
on
the
doorsteps
in
parts
of
the
country
who
voted,
leaving
very
large
numbers.
M
As
I
heard
someone
say
it's
a
bit
like
asking
for
a
cup
of
tea
and
then
finding
someone
has
burnt
your
house
down
to
get
the
hot
water
and,
of
course,
it's
increasingly
clear
that
what
was
claimed
with
project
fear
is
rather
more
project.
Fact
and
I.
Think
the
extensive
introductory
bullet
points
in
our
amended
motion
underlines
this,
and
this
is
such
an
important
issue
that
both
parties
have
brought
emotion
and
we've
brought
motions
consistently
on
several
issues
in
Europe
in
this
chamber,
because
we
know
how
important
it
is.
M
This
is
so
our
attempt
today
to
produce
an
amended
motion
is
to
bring
together
both
motions
in
a
way
that
we
can
then
offer
something
that
unites
us.
So
what
have
we
added?
Well,
we've
had
a
little
bit
more
on
the
role
of
Parliament
and
I
am
fully
confident
myself
that
Daniels
Isner,
our
MP,
will
continue.
His
work
to
represent
came
for
his
view,
Cambridge
his
views
in
that
space.
M
M
Feel
like
a
bit
like
a
schoolteacher,
can
hear
voices
in
the
background
and
then
there's
the
public
vote,
including
an
option
to
remain,
which
you
will
see
is
there
in
our
motion
now
for
me,
as
a
remainer
I
would
personally
like
to
see
the
outcome
of
that
public
vote
to
be
a
vote
for
remain
for
whatever
the
outcome.
It's
a
democratic
approach,
I'm
a
union
member
when
we
ask
for
negotiations
our
behalf,
we
get
a
say
on
the
results,
those
negotiations
and,
as
our
motion
says
very
clearly.
M
If
the
government
is
confident
in
negotiating
a
deal
that
working
people,
our
economy
and
communities
will
benefit
benefit
from,
they
should
not
be
afraid
to
put
that
deal
to
the
public
so
that
all
options
are
on
the
table,
including
the
option
to
remain
in
the
European.
Union
I
commend
this
amendment
as
a
composite
of
both
motions
and
hope
that
it
will
have
support
in
this
chamber
this
evening.
Thank
you.
B
G
G
W
G
G
Z
Thank
You
mr.
net
and
in
the
aftermath
of
the
devastating
new
referendum
result
in
June
16,
the
Liberal
Democrat
Party,
adopted
as
its
central
policy
on
you.
You,
the
demand
that
the
people
of
the
UK
should
have
a
final
date
say
on
any
deal
before
we
leave
you
and
the
reason
for
that
is
because
far
from
representing,
what's
been
widely
and
logically
described
as
the
will
of
the
people
over
and
over,
the
will
expressed
by
that
hairline
victory
is
that
as
a
nation?
Z
Do
you
seriously
think
that
I'm
going
to
vote
to
replace
one
economic
disaster
with
another
holding
a
general
election
as
the
arbiter
of
the
issue
of
Brits?
It
makes
absolutely
no
sense.
Brexit
is
not
your
golden
ticket
to
Downing
Street.
It
is
the
most
serious
issue
faced
by
this
country
in
generations
and
will
be
for
generations
and
asking
people
to
choose
between
one
hard,
brexit
party
and
another
does
not
address
the
issue
and
for
the
constant
attempts
to
fudge
the
issue
with
sleight
of
hand
and
whispered.
Z
Half
promises
that
all
options
might
be
on
the
table,
but
only
if
Conway
Jeremy
can
have
a
go
in
number
10,
absolutely
shameful
at
a
time
when
the
UK
so
desperately
needs
a
functioning
opposition
party
and
the
British
public
will
not
understand
nor
easily.
Forgive
the
party
who
stood
aside
and
cheered
on
the
Tories
from
the
brexit
sidelines.
AC
AC
AC
They
would
rather
have
that
than
have
the
chance
of
voting
that
Tory
government
out
in
a
general
election.
If
there
was
a
vote
in
parliament
that
voted
down
the
Tories
proposals
for
brexit
and
that
that
could
be
converted
into
a
vote
of
no
confidence
in
the
government,
we
can
see
what
the
Liberal
Democrats
would
do
under
those
circumstances.
Mr.
mayor,
the
Liberal
Democrats
would
do
the
same
as
they
did
in
2010.
They
will
prop
up
the
Tories.
U
Thank
You
math
and
obviously
this
is
a
very
serious
matter,
but
IIIi
hope
you
can
forgive
it
a
certain
whimsy
thinking
about
the
the
EU.
It
struck
me
that
in
some
ways
it's
it's
a
bit
like
a
horse
in
that
it
doesn't
always
do
what
we
wanted
to
occasionally
bites
us.
It
does
cost
money
and
it
does
require
quite
a
lot
of
mucking
out.
However,
at
the
same
time,
it
does
actually
bring
huge
rewards
for
that
effort.
It's
a
special
relationship.
U
It
helps
us
to
travel
to
make
new
friends
and
it
shares
our
burdens
now
to
extend
the
analogy.
It
feels
like
two
years
ago,
a
bunch
of
cowboys
turned
up
and
convinced
our
grandparents
to
get
rid
of
the
horse
on
the
promise
of
some
kind
of
mythical
beast.
They
would
do
everything
the
horse
could
do,
but
without
any
of
the
work
or
any
of
the
mucking
out.
U
It
would
also
even
look
like
the
horse,
but
within
an
ornate,
horned
and
a
multicolored
Mane
now,
two
years
on,
it
is
becoming
quite
apparent
that
such
rainbow
unicorns
do
not
exist
and
I
think
all
of
us
would
like
the
opportunity
to
rethink
that
decision.
Now.
Our
our
motion
does
does
offer
that
opportunity
through
a
people's
vote,
which
does
have
multicolored
cross-party
support.
The
amendment
focuses
on
a
general
election,
but
we
had
a
general
election
in
2017
and
the
Labour
National
Party
kept
promising
to
deliver
brexit.
They
promised
to
brexit.
U
That
would
keep
us
in
the
single
market
that
would
keep
us
in
a
customs
union.
Would
it
control
immigration
but
would
also
create
jobs
now,
Jeremy
Corbyn
I
think
called
that
one,
a
workers
brexit
it's
currently
a
sensible
brexit,
but
let's
be
very
honest,
what
it
was
what
it
is.
It
is
a
rainbow
unicorn
brexit
because,
like
rainbow
unicorns,
it
only
exists
in
the
minds
of
toddlers
like
Boris
Johnson.
U
Now,
a
rerun
of
such
a
general
election
will
only
cost
more
time
now
this
amendment,
whatever
the
intentions,
only
serves
to
undermine
support
for
the
people's
vote.
Our
best
and
most
likely
way
to
stop
brexit
now,
if
BRICS
it
happens
and
I
will
keep
working
to
try
and
stop
it,
then,
sadly,
it
will
be
partly
due
to
the
talented
and
passionate
campaign
is
like
councillor,
Smith
opposite
looking
to
build
party
solidarity
and
looking
to
prioritize
the
Labour
Party
over
their
own
City
and
their
own
country
I.
U
AI
I'm
incredibly
disappointed
that
labor
in
the
city
have
chosen
to
amend
this
motion
in
the
way
that
they
have
I've
spent
most
of
today
at
the
Local
Government
Association
hearing
about
some
of
the
contingency
planning
that
is
being
done
to
prepare
for
an
Odile
brexit
and
the
implications
of
an
Odile
brexit
are
horrific.
AI
You
won't
be
surprised
to
know
that
I
have
always
felt
bricks.
It
was
a
terrible
idea.
The
UK
at
present
has
an
incredibly
good
deal
with
the
European
Union.
We
have
full
voting
rights
and
full
political
representation.
We
have
full
access
to
markets,
but
we
have
various
opt
outs
on
a
wide
range
of
policies
and
a
financial
rebate.
How
could
a
relationship
which
gives
us
no
say
on
the
future
of
EU
rules
and
less
aspect?
Access
to
markets,
possibly
be
better
than
what
we
have
now?
AI
However,
the
horrors
being
described
in
the
event
of
a
No
Deal
brexit
took
even
me
by
surprise.
The
impact
on
the
UK
ports
of
having
checks
on
the
EU
side
of
the
channel
are
massive.
The
delay
in
getting
vehicles
off
ferries
on
the
EU
side
is
likely
to
mean
that,
rather
than
nine
ferry
crossings
within
12
hours,
only
three
are
possible.
The
implications
of
this
alone.
Quite
apart
from
a
myriad
of
other
issues
on
visas,
police
cooperation,
power
supplies
and
medicines
are
just
huge
and
the
hitch
to
the
UK
economy
is
horrendous.
AI
We
must
find
a
way
out
of
this
mess
and
a
vote
on
the
final
options
would
be
clear
and
democratic
for
cambridge
city
labor,
to
be
failing
to
back.
That
campaign
is
incredibly
disappointing
and
for
them
to
be
using
a
motion.
An
amendment
on
this
motion
on
this
incredibly
important
issue,
which
is
just
so
much
more
important
than
party
politics
to
be
making
a
whole
bunch
of
dubious
party
political
claims
about
the
record
of
their
leader,
is
just
pathetic.
AI
J
Okay,
I'll
read
it
all
out
if
a
general
election
does
not
follow
all
actions
remain
on
the
table,
including
the
option
of
a
public
vote
public
vote.
If
the
government
is
confident
in
negotiating
a
deal
that
working
people
our
economy,
our
communities
will
benefit
from,
they
should
not
be
afraid
to
put
that
deal
to
the
public
so
that
all
options
are
on
the
table,
including
the
option
to
remain
in
the
European
Union.
That's
very
clear
to
me:
now
the
referendum
was
not
binding.
J
J
This
Tory
government
have
chosen
to
follow
an
advisory
referendum
which
they
only
just
scraped
through
and
they're,
actually
not
even
sticking
to
what
the
brexit
is
campaigned
on
they're,
making
a
much
harder
brexit
so
to
suggest
that
only
a
public
vote
or
a
people's
vote
on
this
is
enough.
It
simply
isn't,
unlike
the
members
opposite,
we
over
here
sorry
for
think
like
to
speak
for
you
all
in
saying.
We
do
not
trust
this
Tory
government
to
do
anything.
They
are
totally
destroying
this
country,
not
only
through
brexit
but
through
austerity
bricks.
J
T
Well,
if
we
get
the
people's
vote,
it
comes
about
and
we
we
get
a
general
election,
your
your
your
leader,
he's
already
said
he
wouldn't
work
with
labor,
so
that
means
you'll,
probably
have
a
return
ticket
to
get
it
to
number
ten.
Like
you
did
last
time
you
got
into
bed
with
the
Tory.
So
how
can
we
trust
you
as
well
as
a
Taurus
I
mean
with
the
problems
we
got
today
where
your
coalition's
are
still
affecting
the
country?
Now
I
mean
the
bedroom
tax
for
one.
You
agree
with
that.
T
F
F
They
would
weep
if
they
realize
the
amendment
that
has
been
brought
to
the
motion
that
councillor
Cantrell
has
proposed.
The
two
most
salient
points
of
difference
in
this
are
the
deletion
of
the
paragraph.
This
council
believes
that
the
interests
of
its
residents
would
be
best
protected
by
a
people's
vote
on
the
terms
of
leaving
the
EU,
with
the
possibility
of
rescinding
article
15
remaining
in
the
EU.
That
is
what
you
want
to
delete.
That's
one
for
salient
two
points.
The
other
is.
F
F
It
describes
different
types
of
brexit
that
you
might
not
like,
and
the
government
who
you
don't
like
managing
it.
But
I've
heard
that
we've
all
heard
the
leader
of
your
party
say
that
it's
about
conducting
brexit
in
a
good
way
and
the
people
of
Cambridge
don't
believe
there
is
a
good
way,
that's
how
they
voted
and
that's
the
outcome
that
I
think
they
want
to.
They
want
to
see
mr.
mayor
I
think
that
members
offers
it
and
I
really
regret.
F
This
seem
to
be
living
in
some
sort
of
cocoon
of
their
own
making
of
splitting
every
difference,
modeling
every
choice
on
brexit
to
try
and
point
both
ways
at
the
same
time,
on
the
biggest
most
fundamental
issue
facing
the
people
of
this
country.
In
probably
our
lifetimes,
the
major
opposition
of
this
country
has
no
clear
compass
in
the
way
it
would
like
to
lead
this
country,
and
you
can
read
it
in
the
tortuous
sections
of
your
amendment
that
that
is
the
case.
F
The
answer,
the
answer
is
the
same
answer
that
your
colleagues
took
on
the
county
council
earlier
this
week
when
they
agreed
to
second
and
support
a
motion
saying
something
very
similar
to
the
motion
you
have
today
and
in
fact
the
same
words
were
offered
to
you
by
councilor
control
as
a
replacement.
This
evening
it
was
the
source
of
agreement
of
the
County
Council.
So
what
is
it
with
you
guys
that
you
simply
have
to
disagree
on
this
subject.
A
Thanks
mister
man,
councillor
controls
claimed
the
brexit
is
the
most
important
issue
to
affect
the
city
in
the
last
70
years.
Councillor
Rick
says
that
the
biggest
it
is
the
biggest
most
fundamental
issue
facing
us.
I,
don't
agree
because,
although
brexit
just
threatened
hunger,
loss
of
jobs,
homelessness,
conflict
breaking
up,
it
threatens
climate
change,
because
climate
change
threatens
us
much
more
than
brexit
does
in
a
fundamental
way.
It
threatens
extinction
of
human
life,
billions
of
climate
migrants,
climate
change.
Can
we
stick
to
the
subject.
A
A
A
So
people's
vote,
as
I
say,
is
given
the
people
the
chance
to
ratify
a
decision
that
they
made
earlier
on
a
chance
to
say
yeah.
We
still
want
it
in
the
same
way
that
the
government
would
ratify
decision
after
it
went
to
the
House
of
Lords
or
ratify
a
decision
after
undertaking
consultation
or
research
by
the
Civil
Service,
it's
actually
respecting
the
will
of
the
people
by
giving
them
another
chance
to
say
what
they
want
and
amendment
by
taking
out
the
the
people's
vote.
Wording
undermines
the
campaign.
A
I
think
another
general
election
maybe
may
be
helpful
to
the
country.
I'm
I'm,
not
sure
that
labor
are
under
estimating
the
importance
that
the
Progressive
Alliance
played
in
the
in
the
last
election
and
the
chances
of
winning
another
general
election.
I
think
that
they'll
have
to
loosen
definitely
more
this
time
to
make
a
case
for
winning
the
election.
In
the
midst
of
a
confusing
position
on
brexit,
the
voters
will
find
it
hard
to
to
Bank.
E
E
So
it
was
me
lying
though
what
is
important
is
the
business
we
did
before
the
break
local
plan
and
treasury
management
general
fund
and
more.
We
do
not
decide
this
matter.
Parliament
does
he
says
he
wants
to
use
the
guild
August
and
the
message
to
Whitehall.
Well,
actually,
what
he
wants
to
do
is
to
use
the
guild
order
to
get
him
elected
to
Parliament
and
just
in
case
they'd
forgotten.
X
Thank
You
Samara
I
agree
with
castle
Smith
that
Cameron
shouldn't
have
really
called
for
a
proxy
just
to
please
his
right-wing,
but
based
on
my
humble
opinion,
other
time.
If
the
labor
was
a
disorganized
leadership
and
they
took
a
strong
stance
and
Jeremy
Corbyn
did
not
sit
on
the
fence
and
he
said
right
this
is
they
were
going
to
go
about
it.
The
result
would
be
very
different
than
today
and
I
wouldn't
be.
X
Having
this
conversation,
I
am
pretty
certain
the
the
remain
remainders
who
have
won
and
I
as
a
local
business
person,
I'm
already
suffering
from
the
results
and
the
effects
it
hasn't
happened.
My
cleaners
have
said
to
me:
there
is
no
future
in
this
country.
I
employed
these
people
for
15
years,
and
they
got
out.
They
went
back
to
their
countries
because
there's
no
future
the
average
person
when
you
go
on
holiday
to
Spain
they're,
going
to
be
paying
international
phone
calls.
Now
they
can
phone
as
if
they're
in
the
UK
and
all
these
other
things.
AD
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
we
were
asked
just
now
by
Councillor
more
if
we'd
read
this
amendment,
I
have
read
amendment
I'm,
going
to
read
a
few
phrases
from
it
and
No
Deal
brexit
should
be
rejected,
should
Parliament
vote
and
a
toy
bricks.
It
all
the
talks
end
in
No
Deal,
and
it
proposes
that
if
the
government,
if
confident
negotiating
something
it
should
put
that
to
the
people,
I
don't
want
to
oppose
a
No
Deal
brexit
I
want
to
oppose
brexit
period.
AD
AF
AF
You
very
much
mr.
mayor
yeah.
We
had
yet
again
a
brexit
debate
and
I.
Think
everybody
by
now
knows
what
I
think
about
brexit.
My
thinking
has
evolved.
I
think
it's
going
to
be
much
worse
than
anyone
predicts
if
you've
heard
so
Ivan
Rogers
on
Monday
and
read
his
speech,
you
would
have
seen
that
a
very
civil
senior
civil
servant
predicts
currency
markets,
absolutely
collapse.
AF
The
balance
of
payment
of
this
country
to
go
through
the
roof,
the
the
Minister
for
food
shortages
being
called
on
to
act
and
try
to
rescue
the
most
vulnerable
and,
at
the
same
time,
this
labor
amendment
might
foster
the
unity
between
the
two
or
three
hardcore
korbinites
on
the
benches
opposite
and
the
rest
of
the
reasonable
Labor
Party,
including
Daniel's
iknow
I.
Think
if
you
ask
Daniel,
he
wouldn't
stand
for
this.
AF
He
would
call
it
a
people's
vote
and
you're
kind
of
sort
of
betraying
him
by
taking
out
that
particular
term,
because
it
is
much
more
than
just
a
party
political
kind
of
spat.
It
is
now
a
movement
that
we
can
either
support
as
the
City
Council
or
we
don't,
because
what
the
Tory
government
will
do
mark.
My
words
is
they're
going
to
come
with
the
deal
on
the
20th
of
March
and
then
they're
going
to
say
so.
Take
it
or
leave
it.
There
will
be
no
time
for
a
general
election.
AF
AF
You
would
have
a
new
government
in
no
time
at
all,
but
to
hope
for
a
general
election,
maybe
maybe
not
be
called
to
leave
it
in
the
hands
of
the
Tory
government
to
get
this
meaningful
vote
which
they
just
reneged
on
yesterday
is
trusting
the
government
to
do
the
right
thing
and
I
think
we
are
beyond
that
point
right.
Civil
servants
in
in
in
Brussels
briefed
other
EU
member
states
yesterday
that
there
was
no
time
for
people
to
vote.
There
was
no
time
for
a
general
election.
AF
It's
now,
whatever
tourism,
a
negotiate
or
crashing
out
with
all
the
drastic
consequences
and
I
must
say,
I.
Think
those
of
you
who
are
going
to
demonstrate
on
Saturday
going
to
go
on
the
March
going
to
support
Daniels
Eichner
and
the
people's
vote
should
not
support
this
amendment.
You
should
put
in
the
words
the
people's
vote.
Thank
you.
P
It's
quite
clear
from
the
the
amendment,
which
is
largely
a
reiteration
of
emotion,
because
there
were
two
motions
before
the
council
tonight
that
a
referendum
ism
is
an
option
on
the
table.
It's
not
this
council
and
the
gerty
said
that
anybody
was
wrong
because
councilor
Gerty
said
that
having
a
vote
was
dependent
on
labour
winning
a
general
election.
The
word
were,
you
did
say
that
councillor
Gerty.
P
P
So
that
is
why,
in
front
of
you
is
a
motion
which
actually
says
that
if
there
isn't
a
general
election,
the
Labour
Party
will
want
a
second
boat.
There's
councillor
Cantrell
lightly
talks
mayor
about
the
people
from
Derbyshire
and
other
parts
of
the
country.
It
isn't
enough
just
to
say
that
we're
gonna
suddenly
change
their
minds.
There
has
to
come
out
of
Parliament
a
set
of
issues
and
decisions
that
actually
get
to
them.
P
Get
to
them,
like
the
threat
of
coming
out
of
the
EU,
gets
to
a
lot
of
us
in
Cambridge,
and
that
is
certainly
there's.
This
I
haven't
heard
anything
from
your
side,
which
would
actually
communicate
to
a
lot
of
the
people
who
need
to
change
their
minds
if
you're
going
to
win
that
vote
and
if
we're
going
to
win
such
a
vote,
which
a
lot
of
us
would
want
to
happen.
So
your
your
your
approach
ignores
the
fact
that
Parliament
has
to
get
to
the
point
where
there's
going
to
be.
