Okay,

I
would

now
any
interest
in
the
items
on
the
agenda
before
us
this

tonight,.
B
E
F
Because
they,
when
they
came
last
year
to
meet
us,
they
requested.
E
B
B
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
It's
greatly
backed
in
the
assembly
of
cambridge.
After
some
people
who
pronounced
that
there
was
another
one,
the
revenue,
housing
revenue
accounts
budget
setting
reports
reflects
the
council's
provision
rooted
in
a
commitment
to
creating
one
cambridge
fair
for
all.
It
describes
how
we
will
provide
more
homes
for
people
in
need,
tackle
inequality
and
support
the
well-being
of
our
tenants.
B
Whilst
council
is
only
being
asked
to
approve
the
capital
expenditure
outlined
in
the
report,
I
wish
to
draw
attention
to
three
key
areas
contained
within
the
bsr
which
will
assist
in
realising
that
vision,
one.
We
will
finish
a
job
to
set
ourselves
to
build
500
new
council
homes.
I'm
pleased
to
confirm
that
we
are
well
on
track
to
receive
this
target
subject
to
planning
approvals.
We
expect
to
deliver
546
by
2022.
B
The
bsr
proposes
additional
resource
for
the
housing
development
agency.
This
is
so
it
can
expand
its
operational
capacity
to
explore
development
opportunities
for
an
additional
1000
council
homes.
We
want
to
build
following
the
conclusion
of
the
existing
program.
Second,
we
will
invest
in
the
council's
existing
housing
stock
for
the
presence
and
future
needs
of
tenants.
B
As
council
will
recall,
the
housing
transformation
program
in
2015
was
introduced
as
a
direct
result
of
imposed
government
cuts
24
years,
this
reduced
our
income
and
we
had
to
make
hard
choices
in
delivering
a
balanced
budget.
We
had
to
defer
some
investment
decisions
by
extending
the
lifespan
of
some
components
beyond
the
period
defined
under
decent
home
standards.
B
There
has
been
some
misleading
talk
recently
of
one
in
nine
of
our
homes
not
fit
to
live
in.
I'm
sure
we'll
hear
this
claim
pedal
this
evening.
I
want
to
correct
the
record
on
this
and
reassure
tenants
in
most
cases
if
the
internal
component,
like
a
sink
bathtub
or
door,
is
no
longer
deemed
to
be
deepened,
but
it's
used
to
be
imminently,
replaced
as
it
is
older
than
the
standard
says
it
should
be,
they
will
still
be
in
good
condition
and
to
preempt
the
amendment
which
has
been
tabled.
B
I
want
to
assure
council
that,
regarding
these
homes
identified
as
falling
under
the
category
one
hazard,
the
majority
of
these
refer
to
communal
areas
and
flats,
for
instance,
a
risk
has
been
identified
of
falls
on
status
orbiting
levels.
I
can
assure
the
chamber
that
any
additional
sorry
any
identified,
failure
in
this
area
will
be
added
to
a
program
of
work
to
be
completed
within
the
year
with
respect
to
other
decent
homes,
components.
We
have
a
comprehensive
works
program
of
which
I'll
go
into
more
detail
when
responding
to
the
amendment.
B
But
let
me
let
you
be
clear
right
now,
madam
mayor,
there
is
no
need
to
make
new
additions
to
the
budget
or
ban
lagging
hopping
proposals
in
this
area.
Third
last
year,
I
thought
about
the
investment
we
were
making
to
support
tenants
affected
by
universal
credit
funding,
a
timeline
by
national
inclusion
officer
post
to
ensure
program
problems
for
the
system.
Experience
were
minimized,
preventing
people
getting
into
arrears.
B
I'm
pleased
to
say
that
the
renter
is
an
overall
percentage
of
rent
collectors
remains
stable
compared
to
many
local
authorities,
who
have
seen
a
significant
rise.
We
want
to
continue
with
this
so
extending
this
for
an
additional
year,
but
so
extending
for
an
initial
additional
year,
despite
to
work,
you'll
also
find
a
new
tenancy
auditor
position
to
help
tenants,
identify
their
needs
and
requirements
which
will
be
optical
help
to
those
who
are
vulnerable.
B
I'm
proud,
we
are
only
the
fifth
local
authority
in
the
country
to
have
been
accredited
by
the
domestic
abuse
housing
alliance
for
our
support
for
domestic
abuse.
Survivors
we'll
be
allocating
30
000
pounds
a
year
for
the
next
few
years
to
fund
towards
a
fund
to
enable
survivors
to
improve
the
security
of
their
homes
for
them
and
their
families.
B
These
key
priorities
are
attainable
due
to
the
sound
financial
position
of
the
hra
business
plan
following
hard
work.
Undertaking
over
the
last
few
years
in
making
the
most
of
our
efforts
and
investments,
good
planning,
investigation
of
identified
risks
and
the
commitment
to
the
efficiency
of
our
operations
and
that
I
command
the
report
for
this
council.
A
A
You're
substituting
for
him
do
you
wish
to
speak
now?
Okay,
you
have
five
minutes
and
I'll
ring
the
bell
after
paul.
B
B
I
sit
here
and
listen
to
them.
I
don't
think
it's
too
much
to
ask
that
they
do
the
same.
I
think
council,
before
my
degree
on
that
post,
another
new
accounts
work,
so
myself
and
council
of
horror
both
knew
that
we
have
already
raised
maintenance
and
safety
issues
repeatedly
in
our
short
time
on
housing
scrutiny.
B
This
amendment
is
about
giving
officers
and
maintenance
staff
the
money
and
tools
to
allow
them
to
do
more
than
just
the
absolute
bare
minimum.
So
to
to
our
written
question
in
the
agenda
pack
and
the
section
151
report,
it's
not
just
an
issue
about
extra
money
and
jumping
on
the
bandwagon.
As
councillor
johnson
said,
it's
an
amendment
to
prioritize
the
money.
B
That's
already
been
allocated
to
repairs
to
those
urgent
ones
made
all
the
most
striking
by
the
response
to
our
question
so
at
the
very
least,
to
get
rid
of
every
single
hazard
to
our
tenants
and
give
them
all
a
decent
home
to
live
in
as
if
and
if
this
is
going
to
take
more
money,
then
we
need
to
be
honest
about
it
and
put
it
forward
and
put
forward
a
proposal
that
shows
what
we
need
to
borrow.
Hence
our
amendment,
but
you
do
wonder
why
it
wasn't
originally
costed
in
the
budget.
B
B
B
Good
to
hear
about
some
of
the
failings
might
not
be
as
bad
as
they
seem,
but
this
is
really
setting
the
bar
low
and
partly
is
there
such
an
absolute
lack
of
knowledge
about
our
own
housing
stock,
our
housing's
failing
to
pay
minimum
standards?
For
that
narrative,
we
get
is
oh
well,
actually
they
should
be
okay,
they
might
be
okay,
but
this
is
the
same
imperative
we've
seen
when
we've
highlighted
gas
and
fire
safety
issues
in
the
housing
scrutiny
committee
as
well.
D
B
A
Thank
you
very
much
okay,
so
the
amendment
was
proposed
by
councillor
cantrell.
Like
I
said
on
page
five
of
the
information
pack,
the
s151
officer
opinion
has
also
been
separately
circulated
to
members.
We
debate
the
amendment
and
the
recommendations
at
the
same
time.
Counselor
hiptim
did
you
want
to
speak
on
this?
B
Thank
you.
We
all
use
statistics
in
different.
B
B
Think
is
going
to
give
us
so
we've
all
heard
that
phrase
like
damn
lies
and
statistics,
and
it's
very
easy
to
create
optimistic
political
headlines
deliberately
ignoring
and
behind
that
superficial
headline
the
details
regarding
any
set
of
statistics,
and
I
think
that
certainly
applies
in
this
case.
I
know
council
johnson's
going
to
refer
to
a
lot
of
the
details
regarding
our
investment
program,
which
addresses
a
lot
of
the
issues
that
can
raise
in
this
amendment.
B
But
what
I
would
like
to
put
to
the
council
are
some
of
the
issues
that
we're
going
to
be
addressing
in
terms
of
our
existing
work
program
and
what
we
expect
them
to
do,
and
that
would
include
installing
new
kitchen
components
in
95
homes
in
the
next
financial
year
and
by
the
end
of
this
financial
year
in
four
new
bathroom
components
for
111
homes
upgrade
the
electrical
systems
for
276
homes,
test
directional
systems
for
further
1284
homes,
once
only
124
homes
installed,
1701
heat
detectors
and
1394
smoke
detectors
include
central
heating
for
998
homes
and
make
109
adaptations
for
disabled
tenants.
B
Now,
they're
not
statistics,
but
underneath
that
those
statistics
are,
of
course,
the
really
important
improvement
for
our
tenants.
This
is
on
top
of
the
course
of
five
million
estate
programs
that
we're
already
committed
to
and
a
lot
of
the
hazards
that
are
referred
to
in
the
liberal
democrat
amendment.
The
category
one
has
it
has.
It
relate
to
our
communal
areas
and,
of
course,
the
state
program
will
cover
a
lot
of
that
when,
when
the.
B
B
The
improvements
were
going
into
our
housing
stock
and
many
homes
that
I
went
into
would
now
not
necessarily
meet
the
decent
home
standards,
and
that
is
because
the
age
criteria
that
applies
to
decent
homes.
The
fact
of
the
matter
is
a
lot
of
our
tenants.
The
great
majority
of
our
tenants
take
fantastic
care
of
their
homes.
They
are
actually
perfectly
decent
homes
and
great
condition
to
live
in.
B
It
may
be
that
they've
taken
so
much
care
of
their
bathroom
or
their
kitchen
that
actually
because
their
age,
they
don't
need
a
decent
home
standard,
but
they're
actually
in
wonderful
condition,
and
I
think
we
ought
to
recognize
the
the
care
and
effort
that
our
tenants
put
into
our
homes
as
well.
That's
more
of
a
personal
analysis
as
well
of
that
of
my
experience
as
an
rv
councillor.
B
Madam
mayor,
you
mentioned
the
section
151
officer,
information
related
to
the
amendment
and,
of
course,
the
latter
two
paragraphs.
One
refers
to
the
the
fact
that,
whilst
there's
no
constraint
on
the
level
of
borrowing
the
hra
can
now
take
out,
but
we
do
have
to
be
very
mindful
of
the
fact
that
we
need
to
identify
revenue
resources,
support
following
and
of
course,
that
also
has
an
impact
on
the
need
to
fail
to
refinance
the
debt
for
the
end
initial
boeing
term.
B
But
I
will
read
out
the
final
paragraph
there,
which
is
that
the
proposed
amendment
does
not
identify
amounts
we
borrowed
or
how
these
amounts
will
be
allocated
between
the
investment
in
the
existing
housing
stock
and
the
delivery
of
new
homes
is
not
possible
to
assess
whether
borrowing
is
affordable
for
the
hoa
or
how
it
might
be
repaid
or
refinanced
after
the
initial
assembly.
Borrowing
at
this
page,
further
work
is
required
to
develop
a
positive
board
proposal.
I
do
not
consider
the
proposal
for
the
amendment
to
be
robust
or
deliverable
as
presented.
Thank
you.
B
Well,
well,
I'll,
be
brief.
I've
got
about
three
or
four
points.
I
think
the
political
party
officer
just
sees
an
opportunity
to
knock
the
council.
B
Clearly
there
are
issues
about
this
decent
homes,
analysis,
but
there's
a
need,
I
think,
to
share
some
more
accurate
information
before
councilman
matthews
runs
away
with
himself
before
councillor
campbell
does
the
same,
so
I
I
do.
I
think
that
it
merits
a
report
to
be
shared
just
to
get
some
of
the
facts
straight
before
you
run
away
and
misrepresent
everything.
B
So
if
we
just
take
the
data,
the
data
council,
matthews
doesn't
include
the
work.
That's
been
done
in
the
last
year.
So
when
there
is
a
statement
about
how
many
is
the
the
number
that
is
in
different
categories,
then
we
need
to
get
that
clear.
So,
whilst
that
may
not
be
immediately
corrected,
we
just
need
to
be
clear
exactly
that
the
different
numbers
that
are
being
used,
I
mean
in
in
the
in
the
lib
dem
introduction.
B
We
sit
here,
the
number
850
councillor
and
councillor
cantrell
has
referred
to
the
number
799.
B
I
do
think
we
need
to
at
least
get
your
numbers
right
as
well
as
be
clear
what
that
what
the
position
is
we
have
provided
in
the
hra
budget
for
the
coming
year
coming
two
years,
I
think
council
johnson
2.5
million
pounds
to
address
3.5.
So
it's
just
gone
up,
so
it's
2.5
million
over
three
years,
so
2.5
million
over
three
years,
which
is
specifically
focused
on
those
properties
that
have
poor
heating
and
it
also
addresses
carbon
emissions,
and
it
also
addresses
their
electricity
and
other
bills.
B
So
there
is
clear
provision
for
a
new
initiative
which
has
got
multiple
benefits
and
which
I
hope
that
the
lib
dem
support,
rather
than
chiding
and
looking
for
political
opportunity
and
then
just
overall.
Yes,
if
you
ask
our
tenants,
are
they
happy
with
where
they
live?
You
know
from
knocking
on
their
doors,
and
we
know
that
basically,
our
tenants
regard
us
as
a
good
landlord,
we're
gonna
hear
probably
from
other
people
later
in
the
meeting
who
may
be
landlords
or
not
about
landlord
licensing.
B
I
accept
the
151
officers,
cautious
comments,
but
this
amendment
isn't
a
400
scrutiny,
ready
medium-term
financial
strategy.
It's
a
bold
policy
direction
which,
if
we
were
running
the
council,
they
and
their
team
would
have
the
funds
and
the
opportunity
to
work
up
into
detailed,
robust
and
deliverable
program
of
urgent
action.
B
We
stood
here
year
after
year
and
pointed
out
the
unspent
funds
on
council
health
maintenance
being
rolled
over
for
yet
another
year
unspent,
while
people's
homes
deteriorate
further.
It's
clear
that
the
labor
group
feels
it
can
take
council
tenant
votes
for
granted.
They're,
apparently
perfectly
happy
with
these
indecent
homes,
so
the
leader
tells
us
no
matter
how
bad
they
become.
B
But
they've
been
found
out.
Madam
men,
the
government
have
changed
the
rules,
their
excuses
have
all
gone
and
still
they
do
nothing
in
april
18
to
get
the
facts
straight,
which
were
published
in
the
reply
to
account
for
council's
questions
at
the
last
council
meeting.
If
we
care
to
read
the
reply
in
full
in
april
18,
the
number
of
council
has
houses
failing
to
meet.
Even
the
most
basic
standards
of
decency
was
341
and
by
the
time
that
the
cambridge
news
reported
on
the
story
in
january,
it
shot
up
to
799..
B
Today,
madame
mayor,
that
figure
stands
at
857,
which
is
a
250
increase
in
the
last
two
years
and
to
correct
the
bleeder
at
the
end
of
this
year,
when
those
houses
that
have
been
brought
up
to
a
decent
standard
are
taken
away
from
that
number.
If
you
bother
to
read
the
whole
reply
to
that
question,
you
will
see
that
more
houses
will
also
be
added
to
it
as
a
result
than
failing
their
inspections.
A
C
B
Four
years,
this
is
the
opposition
who
were
in
power
for
12
years.
This
is
the
opposition
who
say,
repairs
and
maintenance
that
people
solely
need.
This
is
the
opposition
who
got
rid
of
our
own
elding
staff.
That
did
refers
to
maintenance.
We
talked
about
safety
for
our
residents.
This
is
the
opposition.
Well,
there
was
a
ruling
party.
Then
they
didn't
know
where
the
fences
were
around
the
gardens.
B
We
we've
agreed
a
million
pounds
report
fencing
in
this
city,
so
I
find
it
amazing
that
they
can
stand
up
and
complain
about
these
things.
We
know
there's
a
lot
to
be
done,
we're
not
sitting
on
our
hands.
We've
got
four
years
to
try
and
pick
up
what
was
left
behind.
You
talk
about
money
and
reserves.
C
B
C
B
C
G
And
welcome
to
council,
matthews
and
colleagues
comments.
Obviously,
I'm
quite
new
to
this.
I've
been
on
housing
scrutiny
for
just
under
a
year
now,
and
it
is
an
issue
we
have
raised
for
people
that
I
hope
in
a
collaborative
way
where
we've
had
a
good
discussion
at
hsd,
and
I
know
obviously,
last
time
we
did
amendment
unanimously
as
we
were
working
together
on
that
which
I
welcome.
G
G
Do
acknowledge
we're
making
progress.
I
know
we've
got
a
new
asset
management
system.
It
helps
us
log
issues
and
deal
with
it
more
efficiently
and
obviously
that
is
great
for
the
future
and
obviously
I
welcome
how
hard
our
housing
staff
works
to
support
our
tenants
and
to
get
things
fixed,
and
I
thank
them
for
it.
There's
absolutely.
No
christians
in
the
sense,
warm
and
safe
homes
are
important
for
our
tenants
and
also
obviously,
for
climate
change
agenda
in
opposition.
We
have
tried
to
improve
our
housing
to
save
residents
money
on
bills.
G
As
I
mentioned,
we
agreed
the
amendments
at
the
last
four
councils,
the
hra
financial
strategy,
about
that
and
last
this
year,
though,
obviously
you
voted
down
our
request
to
look
at
things
like
passive
house
standards
for
new
builds.
That
would
mean
better
quality
housing
for
our
future
tenants.
So
please
don't
let
them
down
again
by
voting
this
amendment
down
as
well.
G
What
we're
calling
for
here
is
more
money
to
be
satisfied
to
allow
our
officers,
our
maintenance
teams
and
our
tenants
to
have
the
tools
to
sort
this
out
quickly
and
efficiently
and
as
soon
as
possible,
and
give
our
hard
working
staff
the
means
to
prioritize
the
urgent
repairs
on
non-decent
homes,
so
that
by
this
time
next
year,
we
have
none
of
them.
Thank
you
very
much.
Madame.
A
B
G
B
G
B
B
We
are
shocked,
we're
horrified
and
we're
called
to
see
the
number
of
houses
that
are
falling
into
disrepair
and
aren't
said
to
live
in.
I'd
assume
that
I
might
see
some
sense
of
shock
from
the
executive
councillor.
He
said
he
seeks
simply
to
push
back
and
try
and
deny
the
facts
presenter
in
front
of
him.
What.
G
G
B
B
G
B
One
in
nine
of
our
council
houses
falling
below
decent
standards.
That's
our
social
housing,
which
I
think
most
members
in
this
chamber
would
believe
ought
to
be
setting
the
standard
amongst
landlords
in
this
city
and
clearly
it
has
failed
in
a
big
big
way.
It's
all
very
well
for
council
todd
jones
to
talk
about
lies,
damn
lies
and
statistics
and
wish
it
away
that
way
or
for
councillor
johnson
to
heavily
imply
to
us
all
that
it
isn't
quite
as
bad
as
all
that.
B
But
in
fact
there
are
legal
obligations
attached
to
these
standards
and
the
fact
that
the
numbers
were
counted
implies
and
confirms
that
that
legal
obligation
was
not
being
promptly
discharged.
That
is
to
me
a
serious
matter,
but
much
more
to
the
tenants.
I
think
the
serious
matter.
I
have
three
questions
for
councillor
johnson:
does
he
quarrel
with
the
government's
standards
for
decent
homes?
B
B
B
Why
is
it
not
necessary
for
us
to
respond
in
any
decision
making
or
scrutineering
sense
on
this
very
important
subject,
I'd
like
to
hear
the
answer
to
those
three
questions,
and
I
think
it's
important
that
the
council
does
take
the
time
over
this
matter
because
it's
appointing
itself
later
on
this
agenda
to
take
a
role
in
relation
to
other
landlords
and
their
standards,
which
I
think
we
will
all
like
to
be
higher.
But
this
council
has
got
a
red
faith
about
its
own
housing
with
its
own
role
as
a
landlord.
B
Responding
to
the
demands
and
questions
from
the
council
stop
fools
within.
My
ward
has
been
that
the
officers
are
very
responsive,
they're,
very
caring
and
and
very
attentive,
and
certainly
if
there's
a
council
tenant
that
has
there's
something
that
they
they're
not
happy
about.
Then
they're,
not
understanding.
My
experience
so
far
at
any
rate
has
been.
The
officers
will
contact
them
as
soon
as
I
I
request
that,
but
that
wasn't
what
I
was
going
to
say.
B
What
I
was
going
to
say
is
really
just
that
councilor
johnson,
I
think,
has
been
working
very
hard
as
executive
housing,
and
I
I
think
it's
a
great
face
that
I
will
look
forward
to
seeing
this
faith
again
in
the
chamber
a
great
deal.
B
So
I
you
should
certainly
there
to
show
your
face
in
this
chamber,
and
there
were
two
aspects
of
the
amendment
that
I
just
wanted
to
reassure
the
chamber
about
and
aspects
of
the
opposition
amendment
which
I'm
sure
are
well
intentioned
but
which
we
feel
unable
to
accept
at
this
time.
And
so
this
is
a
variation
on
the
themes
that
I
raised
in
the
housing
committee
itself.
But
one
of
the
proposals
to
reduce
the
rent
for
three
and
four
bedroom
homes
and
the
devolution
program.
B
The
reason
why
the
well
intentioned,
though
it
may
be,
we
don't
feel
able
to
go
with
this
idea-
is
that
we
have
to
focus
on
the
smaller
households,
one
two
three
rather
than
three-bedroom
plus-sized
households,
for
the
simple
reason
that
the
latter
accounts
for
only
eight
percent
of
those
are
on
the
housing
register.
So
we
just
logically
we
we
have
to
make
our
decisions
based
on
what
is
going
to
be
in
the
best
interest
for
those
slightly
smaller
households
of
of
one
two
and
three.
B
So
I
would
also
want
to
reassure
the
chamber
that,
if
the
aim
is
to
help
families
who
are
suffering
the
effects
of
a
universal
credit,
we
have
other
ways
to
help
in
terms
of
advice
and,
indeed
substantive,
help,
including
discretionary
housing
benefits
for
those
tenants
who
may
be
affected
by
the
bedroom
tax.
B
Lastly,
and
very
quickly,
I
wanted
to
quickly
respond
to
the
idea
of
setting
aside
an
increased
amount
of
money
to
ensure
passive
house
construction.
I
just
want
to
reassure
the
opposition
and
and
or
all
public
visitors
to
the
chamber.
C
That
we
are
absolutely
100
committed
to
eco-friendly
low.
B
Emissions,
zero
emissions,
housing
and
the
investment
of
in
the
new
development
officer
will
be
key
in
researching
the
best
way
to
make
those
design
adjustments
without
having
to
compromise
the
actual
number
of
council
houses
that
we
build.
B
Well,
thank
you
now.
Councilman
said
these
are
full
policy
proposals
to
me.
These
were
like
concocted
five
minutes
on
the
back
of
a
flag
packet.
Hence
the
section
151
officers
report.
It
is
not
fit
for
purpose
and
it
is
not
set
for
purpose
because
it's
as
I
mentioned
hopping
on
the
bandwagon,
they
know
they
know
exactly
what
these
components
mean,
and
they
know
exactly
what
the
categorization
of
what
these
homes
is.
B
For
instance,
there's
four
key
components:
one
category
one
has
its
safety
houses.
Two
you
could
say
to
repair
three
modern
fittings
and
four
thermal
comfort.
Now
the
majority
of
the
home
decisions
prevent
the
two
sets
of
figures
that
has
been
cited
in
this
debate
relates
to
the
condition
that
major
components
have
been
drawings
as
opposed
to
safety
hazards
or
safety
issues.
B
For
example,
the
house
would
be
classed
as
non-decent
if
they
reached
a
point
whereby
it
was
due
to
have
a
new
kitchen
sink
or
a
new
bath,
for
instance,
even
if
they
were
in
perceived
good
conditions,
they
would
still
be
fit
to
live
in
and
with
respect
to,
as
I
mentioned
earlier
in
my
in
my
in
my
speech,
respect
to
what
is
known
as
category
one
and
hazards.
These
relate
many
to
communal
areas
rather
than
individual
dwellings
themselves,
for
example
stairs
and
level
services.
B
We
do
have
a
large
program
of
work
to
be
carried
out
in
communal
areas,
which
will
pick
up
much
of
the
those
identified
in
the
past
year,
as
will
acquire
acquiring
attention
requiring
attention,
and
we
also
have
a
large
program
of
work
scheduled
for
this
financial
year
to
pick
up
outstanding
items
in
individual
properties.
B
Last
year
we
approved
the
new
asset
management
strategy,
which
accounted
for
the
fact
that
we
are
not
as
constrained
as
we
previously
were
in
recent
years.
Making
investment
decisions,
for
example,
the
life
cycle
of
windows
and
flats,
is
reduced
now
from
40
years
to
30
years,
and
part
of
the
reason
why
the
number
has
risen
is
down
to
the
decision
made
several
years
ago
to
extend
the
life
expectancy
of
doors,
windows
and
flats
and
roofs.
B
But
it's
because
we
have
to
update
data
as
the
condition
of
our
property
through
investment
made
and
appointing
more
surveyors
we're
responding
to
the
simple
fact
that
our
stock
is
getting
older
and,
as
mentioned,
we
have
to.
We
had
to
have
revised
our
investment
program
with
respect
to
specific
components
due
to
needing
to
balance
our
budget,
and
as
colleagues
mentioned,
we
do
go
above
and
beyond
the
decent
home
span.
B
B
Now
there
are
very
severe
consequences
of
proceeding
with
this
new
jerk
amendment.
If
passed,
this
will
mean
the
possibility
that
we
cannot
serve
the
borrowing
in
the
longer
term.
If
we
require
funds
to
build.
If
new
council
homes,
which
is
a
priority
for
us,
it
will
really
mean
trading
our
tenants
as
we'll
be
unable
to
deliver
the
additional
work
instantly.
B
Contract
is
our
capacity,
and
we
do
not
have
enough
surveyors
to
work
up
an
additional
program
about
recruitment
and
procurements
or
contracts,
thus
slowing
things
down,
and
it
will
also
mean
difficulty
in
delivering
on
tenants
priorities
and
our
response
to
climate
emergency
for
the
energy
efficiency
program.
I
just
mentioned
so
in
shortly.
It's
not
in
tenants
interest
to
approve
its
amendment
and
vote
it
down.
C
B
A
F
B
I
I
The
council
has
a
20
share
of
that
development
and
we
intend
to
make
sure
we
end
up
with
a
good
number
of
homes
and
commercial
properties
in
the
council's
ownership
in
that
area.
So
our
capital
strategy
sets
out
how
the
council
intends
to
make
further
spending
and
investment
decisions
it
belongs
to
them.
I
I
Thirdly,
we
will
explore
four
further
options
for
investing
in
renewable
energy
schemes,
adding
to
the
extensive
work
we've
already
carried
out
and
making
a
significant
contribution
to
moving
the
city
towards
the
next
zero
carbon
target,
and
we
will
develop
park
street
car
park
as
a
smaller,
an
underground
car
park.
With
our.
I
B
I
I
won't
need
it
in
this
juncture.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
We
have
reviewed
this
report
in
some
detail
committee.
I
believe
that
the
areas
of
debate
on
that
will
probably
be
covered
in
other
areas
of
this
agenda,
so
to
save
repetition.
We
will
discuss
at
that
point,
but
we
will
be
a
family.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
I'd.
C
Following
our
example,
which
our
executive
council
has
highlighted,
they
need
to
have
a
wide
portfolio
and
go
into
what
they
call.
Prime
commercial
real
estate
now
was
that
something
that
we
went
into,
which
we
were
put
down
by
the
opposition?
And
they
said
we
shouldn't
be
doing
that
and
yet
in
south.
B
A
B
Mean
counteract
action
lengthens
this
meeting
by
these
absurdities
that
he,
of
course
it
is
so
there's
nothing
wrong
with
investing
in
commercial
property
if
it
lines
up
with
the
objectives
of
our
council
right.
What
southcams
have
done
is
invest
in
property
in
their
council
area
in
the
science
park.
I'm
sure
that's
what
council
ashton
is
referring
to.
B
C
A
Okay,
we
now
turn
to
agenda
item
5c
on
pages
153
to
178
of
the
25th
of
february
agenda
pack
and
pages
179
to
204
of
the

recommendations
of
the
executive

concerning
the

A
F
A
Okay:
okay,
thank
you
for
that.
Okay,
so
agenda
item
6a
as
a
budget
recommendation
of
the
executives
for
adoption,
starting
on
page
179
of
the
25th
of
february
agenda
back
or
205
of
the
13th
of
february
february
agenda
pack.
A
Okay,
sorry,
which
is
a
in
the
budget
setting
report
on
appendix
a
b
and
has
been
circulated
to
members
in
the
chamber.
The
rules
of
the
debate
are
included
in
the
information
pack
on
page
8
and
9..
F
H
I
Well
again,
I'm
going
to
thank
our
head
of
finance
karen
river
and
her
team
is
pulling
together
this
budget
for
this
many
pages
of
figures
and
information,
very
large
document,
but
one
which
will
enable
us
to
provide
the
resources
required
to
deliver
the
services
our
community
needs
and
tackle
the
poor
priority
issues
we
have
identified
now.
Those
are
anti-poverty
and
equality
measures,
action
on
climate
change,
biodiversity
and
the
environment.
I
I
I
I
So
in
funding
the
2020-2021
budget
and
planning
ahead,
we
will
be
identifying
savings,
enhanced
income
and
ways
of
working
more
efficiently,
and
these
will
form
the
fundamental
part
of
our
purchase.
Free
planning
and
further
measures
will
be
developed
in
2020,
and
these
measures
include
ensuring
that
income
is
maximized.
I
Now
these
are
both
regressive
forms
of
taxation
applied
uniformly
regardless
of
income
or
impact,
and
the
change
highlights
the
importance
of
the
council's
strategies
of
firstly
supporting
those
in
most
need.
Secondly,
running
the
council
as
efficiently
as
possible.
Thirdly,
establishing
ways
of
increasing
our
income,
which
makes
us
less
reliant
on
future
conflict
government
funding.
I
I
I
This
program
includes
a
30
million
pounds
of
expenditure,
developing
existing
commercial
properties
in
the
city
to
provide
new
or
upgraded
business
premises,
together
with
some
65
new
homes
planned
couple
investments
in
the
bar
street
car
park
and
hotel
our
capital.
Our
cambridge
investment
partnership
joint
venture
with
hill
with
this
program
of
building
over
900
houses
will
be
supplemented
into
the
future
of
those
500
of
of
those
900
500
will
add
to
the
stock
of
council
homes
for
letting
those
in
priority
need
the
others
being
sold.
I
Our
cambridge
city
housing
company
already
left
some
23
homes
at
intermediate
rents
around
15
below
market
rent
levels,
and
we
went
there
to
people
who
cannot
afford
to
buy
or
pay
market
rents.
I
do
not
have
priority
for
council
homes.
We
plan
to
explore
how
we
can
best
provide
more
intermediate
rent
homes
in
and
near
cambridge.
I
F
G

G
B
G
E
F
G
I
want
to
talk
about
what
we're
doing
in
planning
policy
in
open
spaces,
as
we
continue
the
process
of
transforming
the
planning
service
and
responding
to
the
climate
and
biodiversity
emergencies
that
we
acknowledged
last
year.
Here
in
this
chamber,
we
have
a
lot
of
work.
We
have
a
lot
to
work
with
open
spaces,
looks
after
looks
after
more
than
800
hectares
and
33
000
trees.
G
G
Building
control
service
is
now
one
of
the
best
in
the
country
going
from
strength
to
strength.
After
what
some
will
remember
was
quite
a
difficult
transition
to
a
shared
service,
something
very
similar
to
what
our
planning
service
is
now
going
through,
and
this
budget
includes
an
investment
in
training
so
that
this
team
can
make
full
use
of
the
new
technologies.
G
G
H
G

B

It
gives
me
great
pleasure
to
present
the
budget
for
my
portfolio
I'll,
be
covering
it.
Sorry,
I'm
just
gonna
get
more
helpful
I'll
be
covering
both
communities
and
bereavement
services
and
the
work
around
equality
and
anti-poverty
across
the
council,
and
I
want
to
start
by
paying
huge
tribute
to
the
countless
fantastic
officers
who
work
so
hard
right
across
this
brief.
Thanks
to
them
all,
it's
a
pleasure
to
work
with
them.
G
G
G
We
offer
a
rich
consular
programme
through
cambridge
live
and
we
work
with
amazing
partner
organizations
across
our
community,
assisting
them
both
with
grants
and
other
support
continue
to
commit
to
supporting
events
which
raise
awareness
of
different
groups
in
our
city
as
those
who
attended.
The
excellent
reproduction
exhibition
here
recently
can
testify.
G
G
We
have
started
to
address
the
balance
with
blue
plaques
for
clara
iraq
and
millicent
garrett,
halsey
and
liam
manning
through
the
wonderful
work
of
cambridge
past
present
and
future,
and
thanks
to
them.
This
project
is
our
contribution
to
helping
that
develop
further,
and
this
is
especially
pertinent
in
the
centenary
of
cambridge's
first
women
magistrate
since
labor
to
power.
We
have
made
our
anti-poverty
work,
one
of
our
clear
priorities.
G
G
We
are
continuing
to
fund
a
financial
inclusion
officer,
provide
free
sanitary
products
in
our
community
centres
and
to
build
hundreds
of
new
council
homes.
We
are
funding
organizations
supporting
families
and
children
such
as
the
king's
hedges,
family
support
group,
romney
mill,
the
meadows,
children
of
family
wing
and
the
red
hen
project.
G
G
That's
why
we
are
currently
updating
our
anti-poverty
strategy,
so
we
have
put
in
a
contingency
fund
to
make
sure
that
if
there
is
an
urgent
need
for
the
year,
we
have
money
in
place
to
draw
on
that
immediately
and
it's
why
we're
working
with
our
partners
in
the
cambridge
food
poverty
alliance
to
fund
a
new
food
distribution
hub,
and
if
I
had
to
name
the
thing
I
was
most
proud
of
in
this
budget.
I
think
it
would
be
that,
as
it
often
said
in
this
chamber,
words
are
easy.
G
G
F
B
E
B
B
F
Persons
relocation
scheme.
B
F
B
B
G
B
Sorry,
councilman
we
are
proposing
to
include
in
this
budget
we
thought
towards
the
potential
creation
of
the
selected
licensing
scheme.
There
are
good
grounds
for
doing
so
and
for
pursuing
the
principle
of
one,
as
many
local
authorities
have
done
throughout
the
uk.
B
It
is
not
believed
that
such
a
scheme,
if
it
were
to
be
rolled
out
in
cambridge,
will
follow
the
approach
taken
currently
by
the
environmental
health
division
in
administering
the
hmo
licensing
scheme.
It
should
therefore
be
easy
to
administer
with
costs
met
through
the
licensing
fee
payable
by
landlords.
B
There
are
currently
at
least
12
000,
privately
rented
properties
in
cambridge.
More
than
a
quarter
of
the
total
number
of
dwellings
in
the
city,
it
is
our
belief
that
if
the
feast
of
lesbian
study
confirms
it,
this
city
should
now
follow
the
lead
of
many
other
local
authorities
in
ensuring
that
all
tenants
in
the
private
rental
sector
can
be
assured
they
have
access
to
a
good
quality,
responsive
and
professional
service
from
their
landlords.
That
is
our
core
principle
liking
guiding
this
proposal.
B
In
the
first
instance,
we
would
aim
to
cover
up
to
twenty
percent
of
the
total
of
the
private
rental
sector
in
the
city.
This
is
the
maximum
that
we
can
cover
without
needing
permission
from
the
secretary
of
state,
where
exactly
the
scheme
would
cover
will
be
determined
following
the
feasibility
study
and
consultation
with
landlords
and
stakeholders,
and
I
have
no
wish
to
preempt
what
it
will
show
there
are
benefit.
B
Furthermore,
a
scheme
can
assist
through
protecting
members
of
the
community
seems
to
be
vulnerable
from
accessing
accommodation
that
is
poorly
managed
and
maintained
that
will
benefit
as
well.
I've
attended
many
meetings,
the
council's
landlord
liaison
forum
and
one
of
the
constant
complaints
in
those
gatherings
is.
B
Minority
who
undermine
their
reputation
and
that
of
landlords
in
general,
a
selective
licensing
scheme
which
encourages
the
consistent
application
of
standards
creating
a
level
playing
field,
can
weed
out
that
small
minority
good
for
tenants
good
for
landlords.
Good
for
the
city.
I
asked
council
to
support
the
principle
of
this
proposal
within
the
budget.
B
So
I
I
think
you've
had
eloquent
speeches
made
from
each
of
the
portfolio
holders
six
in
total
and
that
evidence
is
the
energy
that
we've
got
in
leading
the
city.
If
you
look
at
the
initiatives
that
we're
taking
tackling
poverty
on
climate
change
and
biodiversity,
on
housing
and
homelessness
and
on
community
safety-
and
you
pair
that
with
the
introduction
that
richard
robertson
also
referenced
of
a
major
investment
in
this
city.
B
If
you
look
at
the
action
which
hasn't
been
referenced,
but
due
to
perhaps
a
lack
of
lack
of
time,
housing.
First,
the
opportunities
that
we've
got
working
with
alia
at
christ,
the
deep
redeemers
church,
where
they've
they've
staked
out
where
the
modules
are
going
to
be
built
and
put
up.
B
First,
we
can't
mayor
achieve
any
of
our
objectives
unless
we
work
in
strong
partnerships-
and
there
is
thread
in
each
of
the
portfolios
that
you've
talked
about,
that
we
work
in
a
partnership
with
people
across
the
city.
So
on
anti-poverty,
there's
a
new
group
called
cambridge
2030
who
are
bringing
together
more
resources
on
homelessness,
a
group.
It
takes
a
city
we're
working
with
them,
because
they've
got
ambitions
to
do
even
more
on
housing.
First,
on
community
safety,
we
work
well
with
the
police.
B
B
We
can
only
protect
young
people
in
this
city
if
we
have
the
kind
of
project
that's
in
in
front
of
us,
on
supporting
young
people
and
then
and
assisting
and
protecting
young
people
because
of
the
risks
from
drug
crime.
B
So
we
we
do
not
aim
to
say
that
this
council
is
achieving
things
we're
at
the
heart
of
our
community,
we're
at
the
heart
of
each
of
the
wards
around
the
city,
and
it
is
clear
in
the
measures
on
biodiversity
on
a
whole
range
of
initiatives
that
we've
got
and
that
we're
providing
that
leadership,
but
working
with
people,
their
their
community,
their
needs
and
protecting
those
who
need
us.
The
most
I'll
save
most
of
my
comments
for
on
the
opposition
amendment
for
later,
but
I'll
just
make
one
there.
B
I've
looked
through
all
of
the
amendments
that
are
coming
forward
and
more
than
half
of
them
are
already
covered
in
our
budget
proposals
or
in
existing
delivery,
and
we'll
come
back
to
that,
but
in
not
coming
forward
with
anything
new
on
climate
change
and
not
coming
forward
really
with
anything
new
on
a
whole
range
of
the
council's
agenda.
We
can
only
take
it
as
an
endorsement
that
what
has
been
put
forward
today
will
get
their
support
in
the
vote
later.
Thank
you.
F
A
Please
turn
to
page
325
to
300.
A
B
Thank
you,
madame
maybe
councillor
herbert
regards
our
amendment
is
so
much
of
an
endorsement
that
we
can
waste
less
time
with
him
disagreeing
with
it.
B
I've
got
great
pleasure
in
in
moving
this
amendment
and
in
our
opinion,
the
the
budget
does
need
amending
and
we
can
make
it
a
better
budget.
B
There
is
little
doubt
that
the
the
budget
for
words
and
press
releases
is
another
bump
a
year,
but
the
the
budget
for
delivery
and
consistency
is
again
to
us
woefully
lacking.
B
So
what
does
the
labour
administration
decide
in
the
budget?
That's
in
front
of
us
16
million
nearly
10
million
more
and
to
make
it
look
only
that
small
they've
randomly
allocated
a
further
5
million
to
completely
unspecified-
and
I
quote:
illustrative
use
of
balances
for
investment
purposes,
unspecified
illustrative,
making
the
amount
of
money
that
is
being
left
unused
over
20
million
pounds,
15
million
more
than
the
assessed
need
to
keep
in
our
reserves,
and
it's
all
there
on
page
268
of
today's
agenda.
B
B
It
certainly
can't
be
because
the
interest,
the
money
is
going
to
fairness,
and
I
know
it's
a
particular
concern
of
councillor
ashton
he's
already
moving
in
his
seat.
I
can
see
the
interest
that
will
be
gained
by
this
large
amount
of
money
in
our
reserves
because,
like
our
own
savings,
any
such
interest
is
going
to
be
negligible,
such
that
the
money
will
probably
lose
its
real
value
just
by
lying
there
against
inflation,
and
we
will
actually
have
less
money
by
the
time
somebody
is
done
about
spending
it.
B
B
B
What
better?
For
an
investment
by
this
council,
our
money
can
be
put
to
work
to
meet
an
important
social
objective
and
it
can
also
achieve
a
financial
return
which
would
be
modest,
yes,
but
actually
it's
still
greater
than
the
financial
return
of
leaving
the
money
passive
in
the
council's
reserve,
as
it
currently
looks
set
to
be.
B
We
will
listen
carefully
to
members
opposite
when
they
respond,
but
it
very
much
looks
to
us,
like
the
sound
of
councillor
robertson's
speech
that
they've
simply
run
out
of
puff
elsewhere.
In
our
amendments,
we
are
calling
out
cutbacks,
that's
by
stealth,
that
are
tucked
into
this
labor
budget.
We
want
to
see
reversed.
The
controversial
cutbacks
passed
last
year
in
the
planning
service,
which
reduced
transparency
in
the
way
the
planning
applications
are
determined
letting
neighbours
know
of
applications
in
their
area,
in
the
prerequisites
of
them.
B
The
administration
feels
so
shy
about
the
changes
in
planning
that
nothing
actually
has
been
done
to
implement
them
yet,
but
we
want
to
see
the
pressure
taken
off
and
the
saving
removed
and
the
proposal
and
the
proposal
for
change
should
be
defined
if
there
is
one
scrutinized
and
subjected
to
consultation
before
any
saving
is
brought
back
into
any
future
budget
of
this
council.
B
B
If
no
one
knows
about
grant
funding
opportunities,
it's
no
surprise
no
one's
going
to
apply,
and
if
you
cut
them
and
inviting
bids
invite
bids
to
another
fund
for
them,
you
are,
in
effect,
cutting
back
that
fund.
Instead,
our
amendment
also
invites
members
opposites
to
find
a
way
out
of
their
terrible
mistake
with
the
king's
parade
barrier.
B
This
was
a
badly
botched
job,
as
was
heard
in
the
first
part
of
our
meeting,
and
the
whole
of
cambridge
would
cheer
if
you
agreed
to
step
back
and
start
right
now
to
identify
a
properly
customized
design
proportionate
to
the
threat
safe
for
cyclists,
operable
for
essential
services
and
access
and
visually
suited
to
an
iconic
part
of
cambridge,
and
such
things
are
clearly
possible.
You
only
have
to
look
at
the
designs
and
the
furniture
that
is
possible.
B
If
you
bother
to
look
and
that
could
have
been
found
in
the
past
year,
we
are
bringing
bringing
the
council
back
to
the
question
of
air
pollution,
which
is
a
real
concern
for
residents.
Like
members
opposite,
we
keenly.
We
are
keenly
pushing
inside
the
greater
cambridge
partnership
for
long-term
change
in
the
transport
regime
in
the
city,
which
would
reduce
traffic
and
accelerate
conversion
to
electric
power
for
the
vehicles.
We
know
we
still
need,
but
I'm
afraid
there
are.
B
We
are
improving
two
proposals
already
in
the
b
third
budget
setting
report,
firstly
to
build
in
the
alarming
rise
in
knife
crime
to
the
remit
for
a
youth
liaison
officer
on
which
best
practice
indicates
a
community
prevention.
A
public
health
response
is
most
likely
to
be
most
effective
and
secondly,
to
increase
transparency
and
evidence-based
purpose
for
the
money
set
aside
to
address
this
advantage
in
the
city.
By
naming
what
the
obvious
target
should
be
based
on
the
statistics,
lone
parents,
we
propose
two
innovative
low-cost
schemes
which
reinforce
objectives.
B
We
strongly
advocate
for
this
council
on
beekeeping
and,
incidentally,
council
of
thornbra
the
example
in
christ.
Pieces
is
an
environmental
improvement
project
which
I
sponsored
not
something
that
comes
out
of
your
budget,
just
just
just
for
the
record:
the
on
beekeeping,
it's
a
vital
contribution
to
biodiversity
and
for
happy
to
chat
benches
for
their
contribution
to
combating
the
modern
social
affliction
of
loneliness.
B
So
there's
lots
here
that
are
there
to
challenge
and
assist
the
council
with
objectives
that
either
holds
or
really
should
hold.
Supporting
this
liberal
democrat
amendment
would
improve
the
council's
budget.
It
would
put
in
full
harness
the
resources
of
the
council's
disposal
and
deploy
them
in
support
of
residents
of
the
city
getting
round
to
some
capital
schemes
whose
time
has
come,
responding
to
wide
and
deep
concerns
about
air
quality.
B
B
Thank
you
councillor,
so
I
would
like
to
start
on
a
positive
note
by
reflecting
on
the
success
of
last
year's
budget
amendment.
I
would
particularly
like
to
thank
the
executive
councillor
for
my
portfolio
for
the
damascene
conversion
for
the
merits
of
weekly
food
waste
collection.
Having
been
told
at
last
year's
budget
meeting
that
this
was
environmentally
unsound
and
not
worthy
of
resource,
I'm
extremely
pleased
to
see
that
we've
since
commenced
the
trial
in
king's
hedges.
B
Unfortunately,
not
all
of
our
ideas
have
been
taken
off
in
such
a
way.
Chief
amongst
these
missed
opportunities.
Is
our
plan
to
do
everything
possible
to
improve
air
quality
within
cambridge
in
terms
of
public
health
threats,
air
pollution
ranks
alongside
smoking,
obesity
and
alcohol
as
one
of
our
national
priorities
from
reports
brought
to
the
environmental
community
scrutiny
committee
within
the
last
year,
we
know
that
within
our
region
alone,
polluted
air
is
responsible
for
106
deaths
per
year.
B
B
B
This
report,
commissioned
by
the
department
of
health
and
social
care,
was
focused
on
reviewing
the
evidence
for
local
actions
which
could
be
taken
on
air
quality.
B
B
However,
the
reason
these
serious
governmental
bodies
have
taken
this
viewpoint
is
that
there
is
evidence
behind
it.
We
have,
for
example,
a
2013
study
from
the
us
in
the
journal,
environmental
science,
which
tracked
the
average
difference
between
particulate
matters,
levels
at
schools
before
and
after
anti-idling
campaign,
showing
statistically
significant
reductions
in
these
pollutants.
From
closer
to
home.
We
have
the
2016
report
from
the
environmental
research
group
at
king's
college.
London,
in
march
of
that
year,
a
major
anti-idling
campaign
was
conducted
on
two
consecutive
weeks
at
locations
across
london.
B
Air
quality
monitoring
was
undertaken
to
assess
the
impact
of
the
action,
and
the
analysis
investigated.
The
frequency
and
magnitude
of
black
carbon
peaks
comparing
non-action
days
to
action
days
was
the
results
of
course
indicate
that
anti-islanding
action
is
more
effective
at
some
locations
than
others
at
suitable
locations.
Their
study
found
a
20
to
30
percent
reduction
in
peak
concentrations
on
their
action
base.
B
I
believe,
therefore,
that
our
budget
amendment
is
not
only
well
intentioned
but
well
evidenced.
Furthermore,
the
nature
of
air
pollution
in
cities
is
complex
and
we
will
therefore
diversify
our
approach
to
air
quality
monitoring
by
using
some
of
our
existing
monitors
on
a
mobile
basis
to
highlight
these
areas
in
times
of
poor
air
quality,
so
they
can
be
targeted
for
action.
This
would
complement
our
statutory,
fixed
air
quality
monitors
and
would
have
an
educational
component
again
aiming
to
modify
wider
behavior.
B
Now,
as
council
has
alluded
to,
I'm
not
going
to
pretend
that
these
actions
on
their
own
are
going
to
solve
all
of
our
air
problems.
Clearly,
we
also
need
to
significantly
change
the
way
we
manage
traffic
and
congestion
within
the
city
and
support
move
to
electric
vehicles,
including
mostly
with
the
city
council's
own
fleet.
B
On
a
related
note,
the
most
polluted
street
within
the
city
lies
within
market
wards
and
in
fact
it
lies
adjacent
to
parker's
peace,
which
brings
me
to
our
amendment
focusing
on
succession
tree
planting
in
that
area.
This
is
a
simple
commitment
of
funding
towards
a
project
which
would
ensure
that
we
plan
now
for
the
cambridge
of
centuries
to
come.
The
trees
which
line
part
is
peace,
are
in
some
places
already
posted
there,
and
we
therefore
need
to
ensure
that
replacements
are
there
before
they
fail,
rather
than
reacting
to
that
inevitability
when
it
arrives.
B
This
need
has
been
identified
in
conservation
reports
commissioned
by
the
council
and
would
not
compromise
the
use
of
the
piece
of
sports
and
recreation
which,
with
which
it
clearly
has
historic
associations,
as
well
as
current
usage
included
in
this
item,
would
be
funding
for
the
landscape,
design
and
community
consultation
on
how
best
the
party
and
extra
trees
were
appropriate.
As
a
very
small
part
of
our
response
to
the
climate
and
biodiversity
crisis,
I
will
now
hand
over
to
councillor
mcgherty,
who
will
take
us
through
a
range
of
fresh
ideas
to
further
improve
our
city.
B
B
The
way
this
income
has
been
redirected
in
the
labor
budget.
It
seems
we
are
now
asking
people
to
continue
fly-tipping
at
the
current
rate
for
at
least
the
next
five
years,
so
that
we
can
fund
the
everyday
work
of
the
council
with
the
proceeds
of
the
following
reassure,
I
don't
think
that's
the
right
priority
and
this
bid
offers
an
alternative.
B
B
I'm
a
big
fan
of
the
council's
wildflower
meadows.
In
fact,
I've
identified
a
site
and
arranged
for
an
extra
one
in
queen
edius.
I
congratulate
the
executive
councillor
for
championing
the
scene
and
I
look
forward
to
a
good
display
this
year,
but
they
are
only
one
part
of
the
biodiversity
equation.
Pollinating
insects,
especially
bees
need
our
help.
If
we
are
serious
about
addressing.
B
B
Council
has
many
good
potential
sites
for
rooftop
urban
beekeeping,
the
guildhall
kelsey
carriage
sports
centre
mandela
house,
the
clay
farm
centre.
Perhaps
this
is
something
that
has
already
been
done
at
glasgow
city
council
and
the
rooftop
beehives
at
fort
lauderdale.
Amazing
school
in
london
are
world
famous.
B
Successive
executive
councillors
have
been
at
pains
to
tell
me
how
they
are
already
doing
this,
and
yet
here
we
are
getting
them
now.
So
far,
we've
seen
one
solitary
water
fountain
installed
on
parker's
feast.
In
two
years
of
me,
asking
perhaps
in
her
annual
rebuff
of
this
simple,
effective
suggestion.
The
executive
council
would
like
to
tell
us
when
and
where
the
next
one
is
being
planned.
B
B
B
B
I
wonder,
madam
mayor,
how
many
more
members
opposite
will
need
to
declare
an
interest
today
as
members
of
canned
cycle,
before
voting
to
cut
funding
for
cyclists,
I've
not
tried
to
reinvent
the
will
with
these
proposals.
Nor
should
you
take
it
as
a
question
of
everything
the
council
is
doing
far
from
it.
It's
my
intention
to
enhance
and
improve
our
services
through,
sensible
and
relatively
expensive
in
extent.
G
Thank
you,
chris
mcguire,
when
I
think
the
members
of
the
communities
committee
experienced
this.
But
when
I
talk
to
people
outside
the
council
about
the
excellent
work,
the
communities
that
folio
does.
I've
often
met
with
comments
along
the
lines
of
well,
that
sounds
very
nice
and
who
isn't
that
lovely
and
they're
nice
they're
right.
It's
incredibly
nice
and
it
is
incredibly
lovely
to
see
that
good
work
happening.
G
But
I
think
there
can
often
be
a
perception
by
those
outside
the
portfolio
that
the
work
done
within
communities
is
somehow
slightly
fluffier
and
kind
of
soft
around
the
edges
and
therefore
doesn't
need
the
same,
rigorous,
evidence-based,
targeted
approach
that
we
might
fit
with
other.
Perhaps
more
serious
founding
portfolios.
G
We
propose
this
actually
in
response
to
city
council's
own
mapping
policy
reports,
which
highlights
that
the
number
of
lone
parents
who
receive
benefits
have
increased
by
four
percent
over
the
last
five
years.
That's
actually
odds
with
the
best
pattern
for
benefits
payments
across
the
city
in
a
demographic,
so
there
has
been
an
overall
decrease.
G
B
National
charities
such
as
the
gingerbread
group-
it's
left,
accounts
of
commercial
number,
so
we
recently
approved
a
number
of
grants
made
through
the
community
grant
scheme
in
january,
all
of
which
offer
fantastic
opportunities
for
different
groups
in
our
city.
But
while
some
began
to
support
families,
not
a
single
one
actually
referred
to
the
needs
of
lone.
G
The
extension
of
the
utilizing
officer
roles
allow
a
deeper
focus
on
attacking
knife
crime.
It's
another
example
of
neither
in
the
bsr,
which
could
be
highly
effective
if
developed.
Further,
there's
been
a
huge
surge
in
knife
crime
in
cambridge
with
offences
increasing
by
114
percent
over
the
last
five
years.
This
is
closely
linked
to
the
county
lines
movement,
as
councilman
mentioned
earlier,
some
people
carry
knives
because
they're
feeling
vulnerable
they're
concerned
for
their
safety.
For
others,
it's
about
food
and
medicine
objectives.
B
G
G
G
G
Year
to
allow
that
and
making
a
focus
on
lifetime
more
explicit
within
its
scope
and
the
final
moment
I'll
speak
about
is,
I
believe,
the
smallest
budget
did.
I
slightly
beat
council
media
who's,
wonderful,
beehive
idea,
which
is
producer
happy
to
chat
bench
times
for
councillors
to
then
distribute
their
wards.
The
habited
chat
bench
idea
began
in
cardiff
a
couple
of
years
ago,
when
a
lady.
G
G
G
B
B
B
G
Does
it's
a
very
easy
gesture
that
means
that
people
can
see
how
to
support
those
around
them
through
the
council?
There
is
opportunity
to
coordinate
this
scheme
and
helps
me
to
start
to
have
a
conversation
about
how
they
can
look
out
for
one
another
and
how
to
work
with
their
counselors
to
start
making.
Those
first
steps
take
a
bit
more
care
of
one
another.
B
B
We
do
this
well
challenges
faced
by
local
government.
We
continue
to
face
intolerable
uncertainty
regarding
the
settlement
funding,
a
assessment
and
new
home
furnace,
which
makes
planning
over
a
five-year
horizon
extremely
difficult
in.
In
my
opinion,
this
reflects
an
abject
failure
by
a
narcissistic
national
government,
which
shows
no
appreciation
for
the
importance
of
councils
across
the
country.
B
For
this
reason,
our
amendment
has
worked
within
the
restrictions
advised
by
officers
and
focused
on
costs
and
funding
that
we
as
a
council
can
control
we've
not
sought
to
make
long-term
revenue
commitments
which
cannot
be
matched
by
new
or
improved
revenue
streams.
However,
as
explored
by
council
vic,
this
does
not
mean
that
there
is
not
an
opportunity
for
the
council
to
make
investments,
especially
ones
that
help
us
address
the
ongoing
housing
crisis
in
our
city.
B
Now
the
model
will
look
very
familiar
and
similar
to
proposals
that
we've
brought
forward
in
previous
years,
but
the
shortage
of
affordable
homes
in
cambridge
remains
a
major
problem.
Homelessness
remains
a
major
problem
and
therefore
we
think
it
is
long
past
time
that
the
labor
group
embrace
these
proposals.
B
We
have
seen
a
substantial
loss
of
social,
social
housing
through
the
right
to
buy
scheme
and
for
historians
on
the
other
side
of
the
chamber.
This
includes
over
1200
homes
in
cambridge
during
the
last
labour
government,
which
was
referred
to
by
councillor
todd
jones
earlier,
we
have
limited
opportunities
to
build
in
our
city
and
therefore
it
is
inevitable
that
we
will
need
to
buy
private
properties
in
order
to
achieve
the
affordable
housing
portfolio
up
our
city
needs.
B
Now
I
was
surprised
earlier.
When
the
executive
councillor
stated
in
comments
regarding
capital
strategy,
the
council
would
be
using
our
housing
company
to
provide
additional,
affordable
homes
in
the
city
when
the
document
itself
states,
specifically
in
page
173
of
tonight's
pack,
that
no
further
property
will
be
purchased
until
the
volatility
from
brexit
subsides.
B
B
If
the
council
is
as
confident
in
its
ability
to
be
a
good
landlord,
as
the
leader
suggested
in
the
hra
budget
debate,
then
they
should
seek
to
support
our
ambitious,
robust
and
urgent
call
for
action
now
and
not
delay
this
proposal
any
further
than
as
they
already
have
been
now
with
cross-party
support.
We
can
start
to
properly
develop
this
as
an
additional
strategy
to
help
address
the
outstanding,
long-standing
housing
shortage
and
help
preventing
prevent
cambridge
from
becoming
an
even
more
unequal
city.
B
I
would
also
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
officers
from
the
council
across
the
council
for
their
support
in
drafting
this
amendment
and
the
support
on
the
development
of
the
various
items
discussed
by
my
colleagues
personally.
I'd
also
like
to
give
special
thanks
to
the
finance
team
for
their
help,
with
dealing
with
my
spreadsheets
and
for
preparing
section
25
report,
which
confirms
that
our
proposals
are
robust.
I
remember
I
recommend
this
amendment
for
approval
by
this
council
and
I
hope
councils
will
consider
the
urgent
issues
facing
our
city,
not
just
partisan
politics.
B
Well,
I
believe
the
leading
group
is
focusing
on
exactly
the
right
issues
for
the
city,
but
I
have
to
say
that
I
sometimes
feel.
B
D
B
B
And
may
I
say
that
whatever
they
are
doing
in
that
direction
is
to
be
welcomed.
Of
course
it
is,
but
the
impact
that
this
city
will
have
on
climate
change
is
going
to
be
extremely
small
and
I
think,
principally
the
one
of
the
causes
of
that
of
our
carbon
footprint.
If
you
like,
is
the
huge
amount
of
traffic
which
comes.
B
B
As
for
housing,
affordability-
yes
again,
I
I
have
to
say.
I
think
that
the
labor
group
has
done
a
wonderful
job
in
attracting
government
money.
Government
funds
that
they
have
got
an
ambitious
program
of
council
house
building,
which
is
progressing
very
actively,
and
so
it
should,
because,
frankly,
the
funds
of
time
should
be
time
limited.
B
So
they've
got
on
with
it
they're,
building
the
homes
in
the
a
cromwell
area
and
so
on
in
the
cromwell
road
area
and
elsewhere
in
the
city
and
along
mill
road.
These
developments,
we
have
to
be
sure
that,
in
the
rush
to
get
them
built,
that
they're
also
well
designed,
but
let's
not
escape
the
fact
that
this
council
has
attracted
relatively
large
sums
of
money
government
funding
to
embark
upon
a
housing
program
which
is
one
of
the
most
ambitious
in
the
country,
and
I
congratulate
them.
B
I
can't
tell
you
how
boring
it
is
if
you're
not
on
one
gang
or
the
other,
if
you,
if
the
liberal
democrats
really
believe
that
if
ever
they
gain
power
in
the
city
again,
they
will
do
fundamentally
different
things
from
the
present
administration.
It's
just
crazy.
They
will
find
themselves
up
against
exactly
the
same
issues,
exactly
the
same
limitations
on
action
that
if
poor
group
is
suffering
so
please
let
us
talk
together
in
a
collaborative
spirit,
because
everyone
in
this
chamber
wants
the
welfare
of
the
city
as
its
first
priority.
A
Okay,
everybody
we're
gonna
end
up
having
a
10
minute
break
because
there's
no
nobody
in
there
yeah.
So
we
can
have
a
break.
Give
me
a
chance
to.
F
A
We
will
now
debate
the
liberal
democrat
group's
alternative
budget
as
an
amendment
which
is
deemed
to
have
been
moved
and
seconded
all
votes
will
be
recorded
except
counsellors
and
spokes
or
nominated
sub
can
have
up
to
five
minutes.
Other
members,
up
to
three
minutes,
councillor
robinson,
has
the
right
to
reply
up
to
five
minutes.
At
the
end,
it's
for
a.
F
B
B
Aspect:
it's
a
topic.
We
so
often
talk
about
locally
and
nationally
that
we
should
treat
it
in
the
same
life
as
physical
health,
but
when
it
comes
to
acting
there's
normally
little
or
none
having
the
chat
is
a
simple
way
not
only
to
install
something
low
cost,
that's
proven
to
be
impactful,
but
to
also
send
out
a
wider
message
about
our
views
on
tackling
mental
health
and
loneliness
as
a
council.
B
Loneliness
in
particular
poses
unique
challenges
in
somewhere,
like
cambridge,
so
in
newname.
So
many
of
us
are
so
lucky,
but
many
residents
I
speak
with
the
elderly
especially
face
isolation.
They
speak.
They
clear
the
city
center,
not
just
due
to
poor
public
transport,
but
also
due
to
its
business
and
the
poor
quality
of.
B
Council,
tourism
numbers,
poor
quality
of
pavements,
roads,
cycling,
infrastructure,
hammers,
home
loneliness
for
many.
These
benches
clearly
won't
tackle
these
issues,
but
it
would
be
a
step
towards
a
renewed
commitment
to
do
everything
we
can
and
to
show
that
we
take
mental
health
as
seriously
as
I
know
we
all
do,
and
that
goes
for
the
young
angels.
B
I
know
everyone
here
will
support
the
pages
and
principal
and
I
hope
you
support
them
as
part
of
the
amendment
they'll
cost,
so
little
could
do
so
much
on
their
own,
but
also
leave
so
much.
We
have
to
be
a
leader
in
mental
health
with
the
council.
This
amendment
and
this
project
specifically,
can
be
a
start.
Thank
you.
I
B
The
current
approach
to
many
issues
can
be
epitomized
by
one
phrase.
From
their
current
plans,
we
will
continue
to
monitor
air
quality
is
merely
watching
a
problem.
Get
worse
good
enough.
Even
the
executive
councillor
herself
admitted
that
they
are
replacing
council
vehicles
slowly
her
words,
not
mine,
leaving
particulate
belching
diesels
on
our
roads
and
next
to
our
schools
longer
than
they
need
to
be
there.
B
B
This
amended
budget
actually
plans
to
do
something
about
it,
beginning
with
a
public
education
campaign
to
change
culture
and
change
behavior
around
the
engine
either
and
before
councillor
hipkin
rushes.
To
dismiss
the
issue.
I
warmly
invite
him
to
come
and
spend
some
time
in
new
towns
during
the
school
run.
He
may
well
change
his
mind.
B
B
Thank
you.
Madame
I'd
like
to
take
up
the
question
of
toilets,
it
seems
to
me
that
the
ruling
group
has
a
bit
of
a
problem.
Last
time
we
met
it
was
park
street
and
we
were
told
that
there's
no
way
you
could
keep
park
street
toilets
open,
which
I
think
is
a
big
mistake,
but
then
we
also
have
chesterton
recreation
ground
last
year
at
the
festival
it
was
disgusting.
It
was
absolutely
disgusting
and
spoiled
the
day
for
many
of
the
people
who
were
there.
B
I've
visited
the
toilets
just
recently
and
nothing
has
changed.
It's
very
smelly,
it's
very
unpleasant
and
I
think
we
should
tackle
toilets
as
one
of
the
most
basic
requirements
of
a
good
council
like
waste,
the
things
that
people
really
expect
to
be
tipped
off
and
the
justin
break
deserves
better.
Thank
you.
G
I
want
to
speak
to
item
b0021
on
pre-allocating
the
anti-poverty
contingency
fund,
and
I'm
doing
so
I
hope
in
recognizing
the
spirit
that
councillor
payne
has
assured
me
and
snr
in
which
it
was
submitted
and
in
which
it
submitted
this
evening
that
it
arises
out
of
a
genuine
desire
to
support
people
in
this
city
and
not
in
any
attempt
at
grandstanding
and
it's
great
to
hear
tonight
that
she
shares
my
passion
for
this
portfolio
and
I
completely
respect
the
desire
between
behind
the
proposal
to
want
to
be
part
of
our
anti-poverty
work.
G
G
I
am
not
into
oppositional
approaches
for
the
sake
of
it,
I
hope
councillor
hipton
will
be
pleased
to
hear
that
the
issues
at
stake
here
are
the
well-being
of
our
residents
and
that
needs
to
move
well
beyond
parties
and
scraps.
G
So
I
therefore
thought
carefully
about
the
merits
and
practicality
of
this
suggestion
that
we
should,
in
effect,
scrap
the
contingency
firms
and
allocate
it
in
advance
to
a
specific
project,
and
there
are
several
reasons
why
we,
as
a
group
still
do
not
feel
we
can
support
that
particular
proposal
now.
Firstly,
the
funding
for
this
requires
allocating
the
contingency
fund
in
advance
of
the
budget
year,
but
this
budget
is
for
the
urgent
and
the
unexpected
anti-poverty
issues
which
may
arise
over
the
course
of
that
year.
As
a
group,
we
do
not
feel
that
effectively.
G
G
G
Much
of
the
work
we
do
and
fund
directly
and
indirectly
supports
families
in
need,
as
well
as
many
others
in
the
city
and
poverty
projects.
We
currently
support
include
work
at
the
meadows,
children's
family
wing,
red
hen,
home
start,
the
king's
hedges,
family
support
group
and
the
work
with
young
parents
at
romney
mill.
G
G
Saying
no
to
this
bid
in
this
form
at
this
stage
is
not
to
say
no
to
debate,
discussion
and
ideas
as
we
shape
that
strategy,
and
neither-
and
I
want
to
emphasize
this-
neither
does
it
in
any
way
diminish
our
commitment
to
challenging
poverty
and
to
supporting
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
city.
That's
why
we
have
introduced
the
anti-poverty
strategy
in
the
first
place,
and
that
is
why
we
will
continue
to
champion
the
poorest
and
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
city,
including
in
our
anti-poverty
work.
C
Thank
you.
Madame
it's
in
response
to
councillor
martinelli's
eloquent
talk
on
engine
idling,
and
what
can
we
do?
He
quoted
a
lot
of
figures
about
you've,
looked
through
all
the
councils
that
are
doing
it
and
what's
going
on
so
I
just
had
a
quick
look
in
a
bid
to
combat
earth
pollution
councils
have
had
the
power.
C
B
C
Martinelli
says,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
we're
doing
things
that
we
can
enforce
and
we
can
make
sure
as
the
right
necessary
action
and
I'd
like
to
thank
councillor
smart,
who,
last
year
ahead
of
the
government,
pointed
out
the
problem
with
log
burners
and
the
government
seemed
to
take
an
urgent
action
on
council.
Smart
sanctions
on
rod
burners,
because
they're
now
saying
all
the
wood
has
to
be
changed.
So
I'm
hoping
that
our
opposition
counselors
in
their
debate,
will
mention
the
problem
with.
F
E
You,
madam
mayor,
I
wanted
to
speak
specifically
about
the
proposed
projects
and
supporting
lone
parents.
G
B
B
Johnson,
thank
you.
Madame
the
proposal
to
invest
11.9
million
to
buy
35
properties
on
the
open
market.
It's
a
case
of
deja
vu,
pretty
much
admitted
as
it's
more
or
less
the
same
proposal
as
last
year.
B
These
fans
have
not
addressed
our
concerns,
which
we
put
on
the
record
in
2019
and
as
a
consequence,
we
can't
support
them
still,
I'm
sorry.
The
available
evidence
tells
us
that
cambridge
has
a
higher
than
average
shortage
of
jobs
filled
from
low-wage
professions
like
cleaners
and
domestic
impaired
workers,
important
occupations
which
are
vitally
keeping
the
economic
engine
of
our
city
going.
B
These
low-income
workers
are
not
usually
included
in
the
definition
of
who
is
a
co-worker
once
this
city
continues
to
experience
a
severe
crisis
with
regards
to
affordable
housing.
I
do
not
presently
agree
with
the
idea
that
we
ourselves
and
the
council
should
discriminate
on
ground
on
grounds
of
occupation.
B
Indeed,
the
low
income
workers
who
wages
are
in
the
lowest
quartile
may
also
include
public
servants
like
teaching
assistants,
powerful
staff
and
so
on.
Who
would
likely
want
to
seek
affordable
housing
provided
at
lha
rates?
All
houses
within
the
private
rental
sector
has
a
level
below
a
third
of
one's
monthly
income.
B
The
living
wage
quantum
specifies
in
the
libyan
bid.
Furthermore,
as
being
pointed
out
in
section
25
reports,
the
income
generation
would
be
proposed
to
rent
structure
will
be
hard
to
predict
and
therefore
there
is
uncertainty
at
the
extent,
day-to-day
and
routine
maintenance
of
these
properties
can
be
assured.
Before
my
remarks
will
never
be
misconstrued.
We
are
committed
to
the
intermediate
sector.
We
have
said
many
times
when
the
council
obviously
has
signaled
again
this
evening
that
when
the
conditions
are
right,
we
will
investigate
the
property
for
the
team
city
housing
properties
we
already
have.
B
There
may
be
opportunities
for
neutral
council
schemes
to
purchase
several
properties
for
intermediate
rent,
that
is
to
be
determined,
and
we
know
of
interest
other
developers,
products
in
the
market
to
help
people
pass
owner
home.
Those
who
want
to
get
onto
the
housing
ladder,
however-
and
we
just
disagree
with
council
bayer
on
this-
there
remains
uncertainty
in
the
property
market,
and
this
may
have
an
impact
on
the
investment
proposed.
B
B
Turning
out
to
the
second
element
of
the
bid
for
five
free
bed,
homes
for
shared
occupation
by
single
homeless
people
with
no
needs,
we
agree
that
there
must
be
a
range
of
different
types
of
accommodation
available
available
for
those
who
are
homeless,
hospitals
shared
housing.
First,
we
are
committed
to
all
of
these
options
as
homelessness
is
complex
and
we
must
cater
to
a
range
of
different
needs
and
requirements,
and
the
council
is
already
doing
a
lot
in
this
area
of
providing
support
to
the
specific
cohorts
of
single
homeless
people.
B
Indeed,
we
want
to
expand
the
number
of
properties
available
under
the
town
for
nettings
umbrella
and
so
have
recently
launched
a
campaign
to
bring
in
additional
landlords,
and
I'm
pleased
to
note
that
the
council
has
just
successfully
bid
for
funding
from
government
to
put
rocket
boosters
under
this
work.
Now,
I'm
confident
we
can
expand
the
number
of
properties
made
available.
B
In
addition,
there
are
also
plans
to
require
five
low
demand,
city
homes,
three
bed
properties,
which
could
potentially
house
between
10
and
15
single
homeless
people
with
no
needs,
so
I
see
no
need
for
us
to
duplicate
her
for
efforts
in
this
area
at
the
current
time,
going
in
mind,
work
already
being
done
and
is
planned
to
be
done.
This,
combined
with
the
concerns
raised
by
the
director
of
finance,
about
viability
and
rate
of
return
in
her
1625
report
means
that
will
just
be
not
voting
for
this
proposal.
This
year.
B
For
the
third
year
funding
plus
the
admin,
roommate
knife
crime
and
then
the
active
travel
officer,
I'm
please
imagine
there.
The
opposition
agrees
with
the
post
of
the
new,
the
eu
as
an
officer,
the
youth
guidance
officer
will
be
working
with
all
partners
to
pull
together
the
work
of
in
the
area
of
youth,
violence
and
serious
crimes
which
of
course
covers
lifetime
already,
and
that
does
include
the
county
lines.
B
B
Be
well
that
things
have
changed
and
that
we
need
to
look
in
a
different
area
to
work
best
with
our
partners.
The
two-year
bid
leaves
room
for
evaluation
and
adaptation
in
the
forthcoming
years.
If
you
need
it,
youth
crime,
especially
characterized,
is
a
huge
concern
with
us
and
tackling
life.
Crime
is
a
problem
that
the
police
are
facing
as
it's
their
job.
B
We
are
working
with
partners
to
work
out
what
we
can
be
done
to
prevent
the
children
getting
involved
in
these
types
of
activities,
we're
already
working
alongside
the
police
with
transforming
lives,
project
and
king's
hedges,
which
is
doing
exactly
that.
So
it's
something
that
we're
already
doing.
So.
I'm
really
pleased
to
hear
that
everyone
else
is
supporting
us.
The.
F
B
B
E
Or
indeed
jogging,
as
I'm
doing
lately
around
the
city
would
be
a.
B
B
We
are
looking
to
channel
funding,
we're
looking
to
channel
funding
bids
through
one
door
and
those
that
have
applied
for
our
walking
assigning
grants
will
be
nice
the
same
as
all
the
other
bids.
They
will
not
be
disadvantaged
and
indeed
they'll,
be
working
with
experienced
officers
who
will
be
on
hand
to
help
them
along
the
way,
and,
as
we've
heard
at
so
many
other
committees,
these
officers
can
even
recommend
other
places
to
go
for
extra
funding.
Should
it
be
acceptable
to
gain
even
more
sighting
and
walking
improvement
than
they'd
have
ever
achieved
before.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you.
So
there
are
a
number
of
amendments
in
my
budget
in
my
portfolio,
so
idling
there's
no
evidence
that
anti-aiding
campaigns
make
a
real
difference
and
the
nice
guidelines.
F
E
E
G
G
Fact
we're
still
using
them
for
that
project.
We've
had
to
put
them
elsewhere
in
the
city
just
to
check
that
the
measurements
are
correct,
but
we've
already
got
plans
to.
F
G
We
don't
we
don't
have
any
complaints
about
leaf
clearance.
F
Nature
and
lead
school
falls
sporadically
and
unevenly.
E
F
G
F
G
B
G
B
E
H
Than
anticipated,
due
to
some
operational
matters,
including
the
new
idea
system,
but
the.
E
B
Towards
the
shared
service,
perhaps
you'd
like
to
meet
new
to
me,
hawkins,
I'm
happy
to
go
through
in
more
detail
public
water
fountains,
which
is
e0015
and
cap001.
H
G
H
B
B
So
they
they
could
we're
hoping
they
might
have
another
250
years
ago,
but
we
will
keep
an
eye
on
them
and
maybe
we'll
review
that
one
again
soon
happy
to
tap
benches.
So.
B
H
Around
in
some
localities
temporarily
and.
G
We
we
will
actually
consider
permanent
signs
to
go.
H
Since
we
started
talking
about
this,
there
are
issues
regarding
things
like
safeguarding
which
we
need
to
think
about,
and
if
it
is
to
become
something
that's
used
in
this,
the
city
safeguarding
will
have
to
be
considered
and
where,
where
they
might
work
and
how
open
they
are,
who
goes
past
them
and
who
uses
the
food.
So
there
is
a
trial
and
we'll
see
how
that
goes.
H
H
Have
a
negative
impact
on
bumblebee
species,
particularly
when
competing
for
a
limited
resource,
so
we
feel
it's
actually
better
to
put
money
into
park
enhancement
to
help
the
small
suite
of
pollinators.
But
if
there
are
areas
in
prenatals
where
you
could
would
like
some
more
pollinators
to
increase
in
your
areas,
please
let
me
know
and
I'll
go.
G
Thank
you
very
much.
I
just
have
to
talk
about
two
areas.
Hopefully
returning
to
my
usual
cross-party
preference.
First
talk
about
the
succession
tree
planting
on
park
of
peace.
Obviously
it's
great
that
here
the
lines
were
originally
classified
as
that's
fantastic,
but
my
understanding
group
is
heard
is
that
they
were
reaching
the
end
of
their
lives.
G
G
So
someone
organized
something
for
the
community
to
talk
about
what
we
should
do
with
parker's
piece
to
look
at
current
biodiversity
and
the
climate
emergency,
and
what
we're
asking
for
is
basically
money
to
help
the
residents
do
that
to
be
consulted
on
how
to
do
it
and
to
look
at
things
like
the
key
characteristics.
In
fact,
it's
a
beautiful,
open
space
and
obviously
not
planting
trees,
to
necessarily
change
that.
G
At
the
recent
open
community
market
meeting
that
council
martinelli
and
I
attended,
we
had
so
many
residents
now
we
have
60
or
70
people
and
they
weren't
just
from
market.
There
are
quite
a
few
from
peter's
field
and
I
think
further
afield,
who
come
in
because
everyone
uses
the
piece
we
all
cross
it
and
it
was
truly
cross-party
in
a
cross-boundary
meeting.
Actually,
so
I
think
the
other
issue
that
came
up
is,
as
I
think,
colleagues
of
the
nudity
the
road
at
the
top
of
publications.
G
G
I
do
appreciate
it
for
the
party
political
forum,
but
I
do
think
this
is
this:
isn't
something
to
divide
on
party
lines
over
it's
a
climate
emergency.
We
know
we
need
to
recover.
We
don't
want
to
lose
the
valuable
livestream
and
we
want
a
consultant
to
make
sure
we're
doing
it
right
and
that
they
are
in
place
in
time,
because
they
will
need
time
to
grow
and
be
nurtured.
So
I'd
ask
us
not
to
play
politics.
G
And
none,
secondly,
I'm
actually
changing
my
feet
slightly,
because
I
really
do
respect
your
views,
views
of
council,
smith
and
council
college
to
talk
about
the
anti-poverty
response
from
the
lone
parents.
So
actually
I've
discussed
it
without
the
pain
and
we
take
on
more
completely
what
you're
saying
that
obviously
you're
going
to
review
this
in
july.
But
what
we
would
like
to
ask
is
until.
G
With
issues
around
poverty
that
we
still
focus
the
budgets
in
the
meantime
on
that,
because
otherwise
it
seems
that
we're
not
focusing
it
we're
not
targeting
it
on
the
people
that
the
most
recent
evidence
we
have
are
affected
by
that.
So
I
hope
that
shows
that
we
are
genuinely
listening
and
we
do
understand
your
point.
But
as
it
stands,
we
don't
really
want
to
make
six
months
for
another
evidence.
G
B
I
just
wanted
to
pipe
up
because
kim's
parade
barrier
keeps
getting
mentioned,
keeping
ways,
and
it
has
been
against
the
third
item
in
the
opposition
amendment.
It
was
always
our
plan
to
review
and
fine-tune
the
arrangement,
and
last
week
we
again
confirmed
as
much
with
its
unanimous
vote.
B
B
That
means
it
sometimes
has
to
come
before
convenience,
although
I
myself,
I'm
not
at
all
inconvenienced
by
hopping
off
my
bike
at
busier
times
to
get
through
there.
So,
but
safety
has
to
be
first,
and
I
just
feel
that
we
all
of
us
forgot
last
week
to
say
thank
you
to
the
officers
who
contributed
the
advice
and
yes
for
the
leadership
of
the
party
on
this
side
and
it's.
B
It
was
certainly
the
best
solution
that
we
had
in
the
time
and
in
the
wake
of
the
horrific
tragedy
on
london
bridge,
I
know
a
lot
of
the
decision
makers
were
deeply
affected
and
deeply
shaped
by
the
tragic
loss
of
those
two
young
rights,
and
I
really
feel
grateful
to
officers.
Yes,
grateful
to
the
leadership
of
the
council
for
protecting
shoppers
from
protecting
workers
going
to
and
fro
people
going
about
their
business
students
coming
in
and
out
of
kings.
B
B
Yes,
thank
you
very
much.
I'm
still
recovering
a
little
bit
from
what
council
estimal
just
said,
because
the
foi
that
was
released
today
showed
that
the
council
did
no
independent
security
assessment
of
any
kind.
So
I'm
not
sure
what
he's
talking
about
when
he's
banking,
I
think
we
need
to
get
rid
of
the
iso
eyesore
and
that's
what
our
budget
amendment
proposal
does.
B
No,
what
what
you're
not
doing
is
installing
the
the
water
fountains
that
you've
promised
since
I've
been
a
member
and
I've
only
ever
been
a
member
when
the
labor
group
was
in
power.
So
I'm
not
sure
why
you're
not
acting
councillor
thornboro
said:
oh
we've
installed,
we've
maintained
22
of
the
fountains
indoors,
but
we
don't
have
these
fountains
in
open
spaces.
We
don't
have
them
in
llamas
land
with
you,
madam
mayor,
sorry,
where
the
executive
council
promises
over
a
year
ago.
B
These
are
small
budget
items
in
the
broader
scheme
of
things,
but
they
would
improve
the
quality
of
life
for
our
residents
tremendously
right.
The
amount
of
plastic
waste
of
waste
from
bottles
and
cans
is
unbelievable
in
our
public
spaces,
and
rather
than
addressing
the
issue
by
introducing
public
water
fountains
in
public
places,
we
do
we
adopt
the
do
nothing
alternative.
B
This
is
a
do
nothing
counsel
in,
in
my
view,
and
I
think
that's
why
the
lib
dem
proposal
is
much
better
and
on
the
b
issue
I
mean
you
know
seriously,
you
introduce
the
biodiversity
emergency.
You
promise
to
do
everything
you
can
to
enhance
biodiversity,
and
here
is
a
concrete
proposal.
It
doesn't
cost
much
4
000
pounds
and
rather
than
endorsing
it
you're
rejecting
it
and
instead
you're
promising
us
be
hotels.
B
B
I'm
also
confused
by
this
mention
that
actually
more
money
is
being
added
in
the
the
line
item
in
the
budget
setting
report
quietly
clearly
states
the
budget
will
be
reduced,
direct
quote
quote,
and
this
is
being
explained
away
as
a
restructuring
in
line
with
demand.
What
we
have
here
is
a
reduction
in
money.
This
council
is
making
available
in
grants
to
support,
walking
and
cycling
projects
from
recent
door.
Knocking
a
lot
of
people
have
brought
up
the
bad
pedestrian
experience
they
have,
especially
within
the
city
center.
It
is
clear.
B
A
lot
of
work
needs
to
be
done
on
this,
and
this
is
the
kind
of
this
is
the
kind
of
grant
that
could
be
used
for
doing
this.
With
the
major
transportation
issues
the
city's
faces
and
the
climate
emergency
requiring
urgent
action,
we
should
be
doing
our
utmost
to
promote
walking
and
cycling
if
these
grants
are
being
under
utilized.
The
solution
here
is
to
promote
them,
so
they
can
be
effectively
used
not
to
cut
them.
Thank
you.
B
So
you
could
say
financial
incompetence
from
the
lib
dems.
The
thing
that
got
me
elected
in
2014,
I
think,
was
been
there
to
sell
on
the
doorstep,
but
the
lid
then
scrambled
9
million
in
icelandic.
B
B
B
Interested
to
see
in
paragraph
two
of
the
before
said,
report
that
talks
about
use
in
the
council's
reserves.
Well,
that
was
what
george
owers
did
when
he
detained
the
finance.
What's
he
called
executive
and
sorry
that
bounced
or
whatever-
and
you
know
he
found
a
lot
of
money-
you
were
wasting
basically
a
lot.
A
million
pounds
was
a
year
or
something
that
you
lost
in
interest.
I
think
from
memory
and
I'm
very
confident
similarly
in
richard
robertson's
competence
in
this
area
going
forward.
B
So
in
that
second
paragraph
and
thinking
about
what
council
of
bakers
said
as
well,
you
talk
about
so
finance.
I
think
I've
covered
that
pretty
much
haven't.
I
then
also
getting
homes
for
homeless
people
and
key
workers,
key
public
service
workers.
Well,
I
think
homeless
people
are
doing
that
already
actually
but
I'll
leave
that
perhaps
the
weather's
gonna
fill
in
the
details
on
that,
I'm
pretty
sure
we
are
and
key
workers.
That's
an
interesting
one.
Isn't
it
accounts
for
bit?
So
it
stands
wise?
Doesn't
it
key
workers
when
you
said
it?
B
I
F
I
B
So
if
we
are
as
a
council
president
of
of
the
environment
and
what
biodiversity.
A
I
think
council
therma
has
already
said
that
anyway
comes
from
herbert
and
I
think
that's
it
then.
B
Slight
loss
of
hearing
and
I've
obviously
got
a
slight
loss
of
amplification,
so
I
want
to
link
up
a
couple
of
comments
from
the
meeting
that
we
started
and
then
got
so
rudely
interrupted.
B
I
I
slightly
got
lost
in
an
in
a
phrase
that
you
can
shoot
someone's
fox
and
it's
a
political
phrase
and
effectively
I'm
going
to
use
it.
In
response
to
the
liberal
democrat
debate
that
we've
heard,
we've
had
actually
heard
absolutely
nothing
about
labour's
budget.
It's
been
a
silence.
Apart
from
a
brief
comment,
I
think
in
councillor
bick's
presentation.
B
B
Is
that
more
than
half,
as
I
mentioned
the
council
a
bit
before
the
lib
gems
started
speaking
more
than
half
of
the
amendments
are
either
a
rewording
of
what
we're
already
doing
or
a
claim
that
we're
not
doing
something
when
we
are
so
we
are
investing
200
000
pounds
in
additional
air
quality
monitoring.
B
B
We
are
taking
action
about
your
b
0
0
20
within
the
remit,
as
has
been
explained
by
councillor
nikki
mati.
We
are
tackling
the
issue
of
lone
parents
as
part
of
the
poverty
strategy,
a
budget
line
which
is
curious
to
me
because
it
concluded
with
zeros
all
the
way
through
we
are
going
to
tackle
in
league
clearance.
I
was
waiting
to
hear
the
debate
about
enhanced
leave
clearance
and
I
haven't
really
picked
up
any
any
any
real
sounds
about
concern
about
autumn.
B
B
We
we
can,
albeit
that
there
has
to
be
some
discussion
about
what
happens
on
pakistan
trees,
plant
trees.
We
have
funding
there
for
2
000
trees,
2
000
extra
trees
in
the
public
realm,
and
we
are
already
creating
benches
and
have
got
funding.
I
think
it
has
been
mentioned
to
make
them
much
more
clearly
places
that
are
happy
to
chat,
but
we,
we
have
already
got
plans
for
that,
and
area
committees
have
already
been
discussing
that
so
that
accounts
in
my
judgment,
mayor
for
65
of
the
budget,
amendment.
A
F
A
B
Go
thank.
I
will
just
probably
pick
up
a
few
points
of
have
been
raised,
and
so
I
think,
with
comments
from
councillor
johnson
and
from
council
smart
regarding
the
housing
proposal,
comments
that
it's
already
being
done.
We
we
have
spoken
to
officers
as
well.
They
do
provide
us
with
detailed
reports
and
comments,
and
we
thank
them
for
that.
Regarding
the
homeless
needs
in
this
in
this
city,
they
are
confident
that
the
demand
is
more
than
high
enough
to
utilize.
B
The
properties
that
we
are
suggesting
could
make
a
very
worthwhile
investment
of
the
funds,
also
regarding
the
sort
of
challenge
about
allocating
houses
to
key
workers
making
those
decisions.
B
I
think
that
I
fear
that
an
aversion
to
making
hard
political
decisions
is
basically
being
used
to
justify
political
paralysis
on
this.
It
is
better
to
do
something
than
nothing
and
in
introducing
the
scheme,
we
could
also
build
knowledge
and
good
practice
for
the
future
and
do
that
more
quickly.
B
I
did
know
to
comment
on
the
chesterton
toilets
from
councillor
moore
now.
I
actually
have
an
email
from
the
summer
from
the
organisers
of
chesterton
festival,
and
I
just
wanted
to
raise
this,
as
actually
as
the
exec
council
who's
responsible,
that
the
cleaning
crew
didn't
appear
until
11am
that
day
and
effectively.
Volunteers
have
to
do
quite
a
lot
of
work
on
it.
So
the
way
it
was
traced,
I'm
sure
it
was
unintentional.
B
It
sort
of
sounded
like
there'd,
been
a
misjudgment
by
the
organizers
and
actually,
as
a
council,
we
we
haven't,
provided
the
quite
the
degree
of
support
we
should
have,
and
I'm
sure
the
mayor
can
probably
confirm
that
with
someone
who
was
also
at
the
event.
B
So
I
just
wanted
to
raise
that
as
a
correction
really-
and
I
think
it
just
highlights
how
improving
those
facilities
could
really
help
that
community.
I
think
we
mentioned
the
enhanced
lease
clearance.
I
think
maybe
the
full
purpose
has
been
has
been.
Potentially
missed.
Enhancement
is
almost
being
sort
of
seen
as
mechanical
efficiency
in
this
regard.
Bizarrely
we're
actually
almost
trying
to
move
back
to
a
more
expensive
process,
which
would
be
more
difficult
but
with
good
reason,
which
is
the
environmental
damage
that
you
can
do
in
what
is
quite
important
habitat.
B
I
know
hedgehogs,
for
example,
are
important
to
people
on
both
sides
of
the
chamber,
and
actually,
if
you
go
in
with
a
with
heavy
machinery,
you
can
actually
cause
real
damage.
So
that's
actually
what
the
it
is
looking
to
achieve,
and
I
think
that
is
something
we
should
consider.
B
Finally,
one
other
item-
that's
quite
close
to
my
heart
and
from
my
friend
councillor
shield
regarding
king's
parade.
Now,
unfortunately,
I'm
not
able
to
just
hop
off
my
bike,
because
I
I
for
various
reasons,
need
to
ride
a
slightly
more
intriguing
vehicle
and
I
think
we
are
seeing
a
lot
of
problems
caused
and
now
we've
obviously
accepted
that
on
both
sides
of
the
chamber,
but
we
still
haven't
actually
seen
any
budgeted
money.
B
G
I
would
argue
that
any
cases
of
poverty
actually
are
an
emergency
regardless
of
where
that
comes
from,
and
there
is
no
reason
that
lone
parents
can't
be
an
equal
emergency
to
any
other
demographic
within
our
city
on
the
point
of
it
being
the
possible
secretization.
I
do
see
work
outside
from
the
accounts
for
college,
but
I
think
that
is
so
much
about
how
the
way
in
which
the
steam
was
delivered
with
the
city
council,
we.
B
G
G
B
G
In
case
there
should
be
emergency
a
bit
further
down
the
line
or
even
further
down
the
line.
It
might
even
be
that
if
there
were
a
sudden
emergency
requiring
this
funding
that
perhaps
the
ruling
group
would
finally
see
fit
to
draw
down
on
its
extensive
reserves
to
support
the
people
facing
that
crisis
in
terms
of
the
knife
crime,
the
news
amazon
was
offered,
which
is
to
respond
to
council
massey.
Actually
I
do
disagree
that
it's
simply
the
role
of
police
to
tackle
life
crime.
G
I
do
think
we're
well
placed
to
make
a
difference
in
this
area.
I
am
surprised.
Executive
councillor
is
putting
parts
of
politics
in
the
way
of
what
is
essentially
an
endorsement
of
our
own
proposal.
I
wish
simply
to
extend
it,
so
it
can
have
a
benefit
for
longer
and
thoroughly
bed
in
before
we
come
to
review
it
just
to
refer
quickly
to
have
to
chat
ventures.
I'm
grateful
to
council
thornberry
for
her
immediate
acceptance
of
his
budget
item
that
apparently
they'll
vote.
All
the
opposite
group
will
vote
for
with
yesterday.
G
B
B
A
G
B
G
Briefly,
thank
you.
I
may
not
continue.
Can
you
carry
on
those
black
climbers
in
there?
So
if
my
colleague's
opposite
will,
let
me
speak
so
response
cancer
sombra.
I
recommend
the
point
that
safeguarding
the
key
should
have
to
check
ventures
and
that's
exactly
the
reason
for
bringing
this
scheme
to
the
city
council.
I
think
it's
important.
It's
not
carried
out
on
an
ad
hoc
basis
within
individual
communities,
but
instead
it's
coordinated.
B
I
was
disappointed
to
see
the
executive
council
dismiss
the
evidence
I
presented
out
of
hand.
A
cynic
might
suggest
that
was
a
pre-prepared
remark,
but
I
will
hope
to
address
some
of
the
points
raised
from
the
debates
and
obviously
supported
by
public
health
england.
So
the
point
council
is
not
that
this
should
be
about
finding
people.
B
Our
immediate
response
on
this
side
of
the
chamber
is
not
to
see
environmental
crime
as
some
kind
of
money
maker
to
pop
up
prop
up
basic
services,
but
rather
it's
an
educational
initiative
aiming
to
change
behavior
in
our
amendment
for
the
first
two
years.
We
wouldn't
even
think
about
bringing
in
the
unfortunate
angle-
and
it
would
only
be
the
third
that
we'd
commit
to
investigating
that
as
one
possibility
points.
B
We
heard
of
a
hypothetical
scenario
illustrating
the
difficulties
with
the
engine
idling
enforcement
approach,
where
council
more
outlined
the
possibility
that
an
officer
might
go
and
tell
someone
to
shut
off
their
engine
and
if
they
did
not
only
if
they
did
not
do
so,
would
they
be
fined
from
my
point
of
view,
that
would
be
a
big
win
because
they'd
turned
off
their
engine
and
stopped
fighting,
and
that
is
rather
the
point
to
move
on
to
our
other.
B
The
other
points,
I'd
mention
about
trees
on
parker's
piece,
the
point
council
thomas
not
to
replace
them
after
they're
lost
if
you're
trinity,
college
or
any
of
the
other
organizations
who
think
in
the
realm
of
centuries.
The
aim
is
to
think
about
that
before
we
get
there
and
that's
why
council
heard
that
your
2003
blanket
policy
covering
for
the
city
does
not
cater
specifically
for
a
heritage
area
like
parker's
peak,
it
needs
a
specific
input
of
localism,
which
is
the
kind
of
policy
that
the
liberal
democrats
will
always
stand
behind.
Thank
you.
I
I
I
The
business
rates
retention
review
is
also
coming
our
way
that
could
bring
with
it
quite
a
lot
of
specialty
responsibilities
as
well
as
possibly
money
or
maybe
not
money
but
still
responsibilities.
I
So,
although
we've
been
uncertain
in
the
year
after
year,
I
think
in
many
ways
we've
got
more
uncertainty
about
our
funding
position
from
the
government
than
ever.
So
I
think
the
position
of
retaining
reserves
for
the
moment
is,
is
an
important
one
to
retain
brexit,
yes,
well,
perhaps
it
could
go
on
and
on
and
on
we're,
certainly
not
going
to
last
not
going
to
be
solved
in
the
rest
of
this
year.
I
I
We
couldn't
expect
to
do
any
better
assessment
than
provided
by
the
security
services
of
this
country.
We
have
followed
the
threat
that
we
were
advised
to
follow
the
advice
that
they
gave
us
and
we
have
implemented
and
installed
a
barrier.
It's
not
pretty.
I
agree,
but
it's
also,
possibly
not
in
the
right
location
for
a
permanent
barrier.
These
are
things
we
need
to
work
on,
to
establish
where
the
location
should
be
for
a
permanent
barrier.
If
it's
still
needed,
and
the
design
also
needs
to
be
worked
on,
we
will
be
doing
that.
I
I
It's
really
the
other
one
was
these:
he
feels
that
the
rivalry
between
our
parties
is
artificial.
Well,
clearly,
the
longest
live,
democratic
leaflets
and
press
releases
can
constantly.
I
Graphics
and
all
sorts
of
things
like
that,
we
will
have
to
be
challenging
them
on
everything
they
do.
We've
got
examples
evening
where
they,
claiming
or
today,
that
they're
claiming
that
council
houses
are
in
poor
state
when
the
facts
are
not
as
clear
as
that.
The
fact
is
that
many
of
the
houses
do
need
some
work,
but
we've
already.
I
I
I
have
to
pity
john's
gone
actually
because
I
was
going
to
recognize
that
this
may
actually
be
his
last
council
meeting.
He
attended.
He
doesn't
stand
again
now
he's
a
bit
of
a
party.
Hopper
he's
been
in
many
of
the
parties
in
your
parties
in
our
party.
He
set
his
up
his
own
independent
party
now,
and
my
predecessors
would
rather
regard
him
as
a
party
target
really,
but
over
the
years
he
has
made
some
excellent
speeches.
I
His
eloquence
is
something
that
we
all
envy.
I
certainly
do
anyway,
and
he
will
be
admitted
if
this
really
is,
there
may
be
another
meeting
prior
to
doing
elections.
That's
true
just
to
sort
out
the
two
executive
positions,
but
it's
obviously
that
this
was
his
last
meeting.
I
think
so
I
think
we'll
all
miss
it
anyway.
Back
to
the
budget,
as
my
colleagues
have
explained,
the
proposals
in
the
libertarian
amendment
are
already
all
are
either
already
being
done
or.
I
A
A
A
I
B
A
B
C
A
E
F
I
B
What's
happened
there
is
that
if
some
of
the
people
obviously
are
decent
people,
some
some
of
them
claim
to
be
prosperity,
poorer,
and
yet
they
all
engage
in
this
in
this
charade
of
picking
out
one
item
after
another.
So
they
can
see
us
voting
and
take
photographs
of
us
voting
against
things.
They
know
that
they
can
then
use
in
their
release
list
and
often
things
that
we're
already
doing
anyway-
and
this
is
just
to
my
mind
in
common
sense-
the
wrong
thing
to
do,
and
it
shouldn't
be
allowed.
E
C
B
Thank
you
so
much
modern
mayor.
I
know
that
you're,
not
a
part
of
that
mayor
and
you're
doing
your
very
best.
The
council
of
words
are
extremely
hurtful.
The
front
bench
team
on
this
side
put
a
great
deal
of
effort
into
bringing
forward
our
very
best
ideas
to
provide
this
capacity,
but
it
was
absolute
opportunities
that
are
genuine,
which
they
can
choose
to
accept
or
choose
not
to
accept.
A
A
B
B
I
think
we
all
agree
that,
despite
the
urgency
of
tackling
climate
change,
the
democratic
way
is
how
policies
to
combat
it
should
be
decided,
but
we
must
make
sure
that
we're
delivering.
B
Under
these,
the
council
has
made
positive
progress
using
the
climate
change
fund,
which
we
set
up
for
new
continues,
but
through
the
through
the
actual
ability,
though
the
actual
ability
to
measure
has
now
much
improved.
It's
likely
that
our
carbon
emissions
as
a
council
are
reduced
by
about
a
third
over
10
years.
B
B
Now
there
was
a
veritable
scramble
to
sign
up
to
it
and
it
was
passed
unanimously.
I
think
this
should
have
been
a
seminal
moment,
despite
our
progress
as
a
council,
the
scientists,
through
the
intergovernmental
panel
on
climate
change,
were
telling
us
that.
However,
we
were
doing
on
climate
change,
we
needed
to
do
better
and
do
it
faster.
B
B
There
seems
to
have
been
no
stirring
of
thought
along
those
lines
since
last
year
by
members
opposite,
our
expectation
on
this
side
isn't
just
a
fantasy.
A
good
example
is
our
neighbour,
the
university
of
cambridge,
which
has
developed
its
own
plan
over
the
past
year.
Many
other
organizations
are
doing
the
same
and
we
should
be
reinforcing
that
example.
B
Now,
if
members
look
at
the
council's
corporate
plan,
which
is
actually
appendix
b
of
the
bsr
on
page
282,
and
they
go
to
theme
three,
protecting
our
environment
and
tackling
climate
change,
they
will
look
in
vain
for
any
suggestion
that
this
administration
is
going
to
review
the
climate
change
strategy,
let
alone
develop
a
road
map
to
zero
carbon,
and
this
goes
and
that
plan
goes
right
up
to
2022,
with
no
intention
to
do
that.
So
not
only
no
flinching
at
the
climate
emergency
after
one
year,
but
apparently
quite
willing
to
go
on
for
another.
B
It
actually
needs
to
result
in
something
substantial,
hard
decisions
that
it
means
doing
things
differently.
Random
incremental
measures
might
look
good
in
press
releases.
The
individual
measures
are
welcome
so
far
as
they
go,
but
we
are
saying
that
this
time
has
moved
on.
Assessing
the
whole
task
in
getting
a
grip
on
it
is
what's
now
needed.
B
A
F
Don't
have
anybody
on
my
list
who
wants
to
talk
so
come
smoke
from
us?
Oh
sorry,
cancel
them
all.
B
B
Than
never,
but
how
is
it
2020?
I
mean,
having
declared
a
climate
emergency
exactly
a
year
ago,
we're
only
just
about
to
go
out
and
ask
people
what
they
think
about
sustainability
and
climate
change,
especially
in
cambridge,
where
we
can
be
the
example.
We've
got
two
universities
big
on
sustainability.
B
B
So
picking
up
on
some
of
those
on
energy,
you
kind
of
want
to
reduce
dependence
on
gas
heating
in
that
press
release,
we're
also
still
planning
to
spend
102
million
on
replacing
existing
gas
boilers.
Something
we've
tried
multiple
times
to
get
you
to
stop,
take
a
breath
and
reassess
health
and
well-being.
We
all
know
the
numbers
on
air
quality.
How
about?
B
So,
finally,
on
partnerships-
and
I
think
we
can
all
appreciate
the
limits
of
what
we
can
achieve
as
a
city
council
in
terms
of
funding
in
terms
of
power.
But
despite
some
of
the
partnerships
and
some
areas
that
council
doctors
have
mentioned,
there's
a
complete
outsourcing
responsibility
when
it
comes
to
sustainability.
Combine
this
with
a
lack
of.
B
B
Contrast
that
with
cambridge,
where
the
ruling
group
have
no
integrated
strategy.
Indeed,
no
plan
beyond
reducing
the
council's
direct
emissions
themselves,
a
fraction
of
the
total
by
a
mere
six
percent,
and
indeed
some
of
those
proposals
involve
selling
assets
to
get
them
off
the
books,
but
that
doesn't
take
the
emissions
out
of
the
air.
B
B
In
terms
of
those
vehicles,
carbon
impact,
we
need
to
examine
how
their
life
cycle
emissions
fit
into
an
overall
plan.
The
executive
council
says
that
she
hopes
such
a
plan
will
emerge.
I'm
sorry,
councillor
moore
hope,
is
not
a
strategy
at
the
best
of
times,
let
alone
when
you're
faced
with
an
emergency.
B
If
you
won't
take
the
lead,
as
the
councillors
in
homicide
have
done,
who
will
now?
We
don't
have
to
deal
with
cement
plants
and
power
stations
in
cambridge?
So
what
can
the
council
do?
Are
they
being
honest
with
their
colleagues
in
extinction
rebellion
when
they
tell
them
that
they
have
no
power
to
act?
B
It's
not
quite
net
zero,
but
it's
considerably
better
than
the
incremental
improvements
that
we've
managed
to
drag
out
of
the
running
group
so
far,
you're
the
ruling
group.
This
is
in
your
power.
You've
talked
about
an
emergency
you've
heard
about
an
emergency.
Now
is
your
time
to
act,
be
bold.
I
stay.
B
I
agree
with
almost
everything
that
the
previous
counselors
have
said.
I
can
add
a
bit
of
history
to
this,
that
the
council's
opposites
always
alike,
because
when
I
first
started
it
would
make
clear
to
me
that
converting
the
taxi
fleet
into
electric
taxis
with
out
of
our
powers,
we
couldn't
do
anything
well
here.
B
We
are
we're
converting
all
the
licensing,
licensed,
taxis
and
and
private
tires
into
electric
and
and
plug-in
hybrids
or
but
it
it
is
a
malays
in
this
council,
which
seems
to
always
think
that
other
other
priorities
are
more
important
than
climate
change
right.
B
B
E
B
I
intend
to
I'm
just
really
intrigued,
as
to
counselor
thornburg
clearly
had
an
answer
for
the
accusation
that
the
council
to
my
right
has
made,
and
perhaps
you'd
like
to
go.
First,
I
mean
if
they
don't
have
to
provide
leadership
I'll
speak
now.
If
you
like.
C
Thank
you
madame.
We
won't
call
the
vote
for
them
to
vote
against
our
100
budget
proposals,
so
we
can
take
100
pictures.
They
said
they
won't
vote
for
things
on
the
climate
change.
We've
got
a
hundred
thousand
pounds
for
street
food.
B
C
A
hundred
thousand
pounds
for
vehicle
charging
points
does
that
do
something
for
the
climate.
We've
got
biodiversity
strategy.
We've
got
increase
of
the
climate
change
strategy.
C
B
Our
our
leader
call
for
a
vote
for
some
of
these
people
so
that
people
can
see
what
they're
gonna
vote
against
as
well,
because
this
is
big
money.
This
is
big
changes
and
you're.
Sat
there
saying
you're
not
prepared
to
vote
for
them,
and
your
accusers.
C
F
Oh
councillor,
brick,
it
started
so
well.
You
supported
our
climate
james
proposal
and
then
it
all
went
downhill.
So
you
say
you
support
our
climate
change
proposals.
F
At
process
we
need
a
road
map
and
then
something
was
said:
random
incremental
measures,
so
they
haven't
been
random.
F
F
Officers
have
looked
at
what
is
our
biggest
emitter,
so
that's
the
pool,
so
that's
where
and
the
pools
and
leisure.
That's
where
a
lot
of
our
focus
has
been
then
the
next
one
is
fleet
that
has
been
more
difficult.
We
did
the
bin
round
changes
to
make
those
more
efficient
and
reduce
mileage,
but
until.
G
In
a
in
a
measured
way
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
throwing
public
money
away
on.
F
Nothing
in
your
budget,
it's
empty
words
again.
You've
said
everything
that
we're
doing
is
rubbish,
no
vision,
we're
not!
You
have
nothing
in
your
budget
on
this,
absolutely
nothing.
I
have
to
say
I
was
a
bit
worried
as
the
executive
counselor.
Would
you
have
better
ideas
than
me?
Would
I
feel
that
I
wasn't
bringing
vision?
No,
nothing
we're
reviewing
the
climate
change.
G
F
E
On
environments,
combating
climate
change.
B
D
B
Clear
that
this
chamber
was
unified
in
the
need
for
action
to
help
address
and
address
climate
breakdown,
and
to
me,
an
emergency
situation
is
something
that
is
requiring
immediate
and
sometimes
drastic
action.
So
where
is
this
action
madame
as
councillor
dick
points
out?
It's
not
in
the
corporate
plan
that
faces
up
to
2022.
B
We
need
to
look
at
how
we
are
getting
a
clear
path
to
achieve
net
zero
carbon
and
we
need
a
road
map
to
get
there.
As
councillor
big
was
saying:
yes,
we
do
have
improvements
and,
yes,
they
are
helping,
but
what
we
need
is
we
need
a
big
zero
and
then
we
need
a.
We
need,
a
line
that
is
taking
us
down
there
and
a
plan
to
get
us
to
that
zero.
B
This
requires
bold
actions.
Bold
actions,
like
my
colleagues,
have
already
been
discussing
and
things
like
making
every
house.
This
council
builds
some
a
passive
house
and
improving
the
existing
thermal
properties
of
current
housing
stock.
This
not
only
helps
us
achieve
our
net
zero
carbon
future,
but
gives
us
a
great
standard
of
warm
house
homes
to
this
council's
tenants
and
bold
actions
and
pushing
harder
on
the
full
electrification
of
the
council's
vehicle
fleet.
Talking
about
deferring
a
placement
for
further
assessment
in
budget
item,
4564
just
doesn't
really
cut
it.
B
F
B
I
don't
know:
is
it
in
order
to
respond
to
councillor
matthew's
point
about
the
hra,
even
though
we're
discussing
the
general
fund
budget,
okay,
good,
so
gas
boilers
only?
Yes,
we
have
budgeted
100
over
100
million
pounds
for
board
of
replacements
in
the
hoa
business
plan,
that's
over
30
years,
but
only
a
full
would
believe
that
we
would
actually
be
you
know
installing
gas
haulers
with
the
foreseeable
future.
It
does
not
follow,
therefore,
that
all
of
these
all
of
this
100
million
will
be
spent
on
gas.
B
For
this
as
character.
Matthews
will
know,
we
will
be
specifically
reviewing
gas
water
installations
next
year
and,
as
part
of
this
review,
we'll
look
at
the
implications
for
switching
from
gas
to
alternative
keeping,
and
that
will
probably
be
one
of
the
things
that
the
energy
officer
of
the
hra
will
be.
Funding
will
focus
on
as
part
of
their
work.
B
C
B
Fully
addressed
diversity
emergency
that
they
were
so
keen
for
us
to
declare
last
year,
and
I
had
passing
mention
of
the
problem
of
excessive
ground
water
extraction
from
short
streams
in
my
opening
remarks,
which
I'd
like
to
expand
on
now.
For
me,
I'm
not
a
scientist
and
I'm
not
an
ecologist.
So
I
understand
the
executive
council's
desire
to
put
the
right
people
in
the
room
to
discuss
the
issue,
but
it
really
is
just
a
starting
point
for
development,
evidence-based
policy
that
should
lead
to
well-defined
actions.
B
B
In
the
emerging
local
planning
process-
and
I'm
sorry
if
that
doesn't
fit
conveniently
into
the
election
cycle,
we've
had
some
success.
Implementing
the
environmental
policies
in
the
current
local
plan,
which
was
authored
by
the
previous
liberal
democrat
administration,
protecting
wildlife
corridors
and
allowing
our
planning
committee
to
make
decisions
which
have
benefited
residents
and
crucially,
which
have
been
upheld
at
appeal.
B
The
chalk
streams
project
should
be
collecting
evidence
of
the
potential
harm
of
over-extraction
of
groundwater
around
which
detailed
and
dispensable
policy
can
be
said.
It's
not
acceptable
to
throw
a
single
line
of
tokenistic
five
grand
at
a
problem
that
this
council
promised
to
treat
as
an
emergency.
B
B
I
I
do
know
where
to
start
the,
if
you
look
at
the
challenges
of
of
delivering
key
worker
housing
of
affordable
housing.
If
you
look
at
the
challenges
of
biodiversity
and
chalk
streams,
you've
got
to
look
at
the
local
plan.
B
Of
course,
the
work
that
and
I,
unlike
councilman
mcgirthy-
I
don't
just
try
and
eat
derision
on
the
work
of
cancer
thornburgh.
I
think
the
initiative
that
she's
led
on
short
streams,
is
genuine.
I
think
there
is
a
commitment
of
this
council
to
recognize
that
there's
excess
abstraction
from
the
aquifers
only
this
weekend,
a
walk
out
to
full
born
fence
places
that
children
used
to
actually
be
able
to
swim
or
paddle
in
the
summer
dry
in
the
winter.
So
we're
perfectly
aware
councillor
mcgirty
about
this,
so
your
derision
is
really
misplaced.
B
B
B
I
cannot
believe
that
the
opposition
comes
to
this
chamber
a
bit
like
one
of
the
john
cleese
gangs
of
the
judean
people's
liberation
front,
plotting
great
plans
or
making
great
statements
that
that
rome
isn't
really
running
things
very
well
and
then
comes
up
with
a
completely
naked
approach.
Absolutely
nothing!
Nothing!
Council,
a
bit
in
your
budget
at
all
about
climate
change,
again
you're
trying
to
poor
derision.
This
council
has
cut
its
own,
its
own
emissions
by
25
in
four
years.
B
There's
still
a
way
to
go,
this
council
has
demonstrated
the
methodology
of
counting
and
following
through
with
a
strategy,
we
will
be
working
and
we've
discussed
this
with
extinction,
value,
lots
of
environmental
groups
and
various
interests.
The
cambridge
climate
commission
is
the
right
vehicle
to
come
up
with
the
case
and
the
strategy
in
the
overall
arena,
and
this
council
is
working
on
a
strategy.
B
We
plan
an
engagement
strategy,
we're
going
to
call
them
people's
assemblies.
We
don't
want
to
confuse
them
with
citizens
assemblies,
we
will
be
engaging
the
public
because
they
need
to
own
the
problem.
The
reason
why
we
feel
distraught
about
the
attempts
by
extinction
rebellion
to
create
all
of
this
divisiveness.
B
All
of
this
publicity
about
episodes
that
are
of
transitory
nature
is
that
this
community
residents,
businesses
building
on
the
initiatives
that
we've
already
got,
need
to
work
and
own
the
problem
of
climate
change
of
food
of
travel.
We
need
to
address
the
issues
with
the
county
council
of
helping
them
with
public
transport
solutions.
So
there
are
15
initiatives
here
that
you
were
not
willing
to
debate
you're,
not
even
willing
to
list
them.
I'll
save
my
comments
for
when
councilor
matthews
answers.
Ask
me
a
question
a
blind
question
later
on.
B
There
is
plenty
in
this
budget
that
tackles
climate
change.
There
is
zero
in
your
amendment.
G
B
G
G
F
Thank
you.
Okay.
Does
council
robinson
want
to
speak
for
this?
Oh,
I
can't
tell
I'm
sorry
councilman.
B
Thank
you
madame.
I
just
want
to
speak
very
briefly
on
the
subject
of
the
electrification
of
the
fleet,
which
I
do
think
does
illustrate
the
ponderous
response
to
the
climate
emergency
taken.
B
So
we've
heard
of
this
fleet
review,
but
I'm
afraid
at
the
time
of
speaking,
the
fleet
review
has
been
ongoing
for
at
least
nine
months
and
has
been
incomprehensibly
delayed.
Had
that
not
been
the
case,
perhaps
the
ruling
group
would
have
been
able
to
see
more
thorough
and
costed
budget
amendments
to
their
process
at
the
moment
as
the
police
stand
last
time
we
checked,
we
have
190
vehicles
under
the
direct
control
of
the
city
council.
B
B
Now
we've
heard
about
the
actions
taken
by
the
ruling
group
to
remedy
this
situation,
primarily
the
allocation
of
funding
complete
replacement
this
year,
pending
the
review
that
four
hundred
thousand
pounds,
according
to
my
employees
with
officers,
would
fund
an
extra
four
vehicles.
So
the
best
case
scenario
we
have
for
after
this
year
is
a
fleet
of
15
of
190
being
electric,
and
I'm
afraid
I
don't
think
anyone
in
this
chamber
would
think
that
is
a
good
enough
climate
crisis.
F
B
Thank
you
madame.
I
think.
Firstly,
I
would
note
that
the
well
rather
disappointing
trapeze
act
that
managed
to
delay
the
meeting
two
weeks
ago,
rather,
ironically,
it
actually
delayed
this
democratically
elected
people's
assembly,
in
which
members
of
our
group
and
and
and
under
all
across
the
chamber,
have
been
putting
the
climate
change,
emergency
front
and
center
of
the
council's
business.
B
Now,
in
response
to
the
comment
regarding
our
amendment,
I
would
note
the
ruling
group
group
had
40
weeks
after
declaring
the
emergence
the
emergency
last
year
to
set
the
agenda
on
this.
We
had
less
than
four
weeks
to
try
to
amend
the
position
that
was
put
before
us.
It
is
not
the
correct
document
in
which
you
do
that,
so
the
circuits
that
did
descend
on
on
the
meeting
two
weeks
ago
were
clearly
extremely
frustrated
and,
unfortunately,
council
herbert
continues
to
seek
to
push
responsibility.
B
We've
mentioned
partners
in
this.
Unfortunately,
the
county
council
is
run
by
an
entirely
different
party
who
doesn't
sit
in
this
chamber
and
who
are
currently,
as
I
understand
it,
delaying
on
the
climate
commission
without
even
a
timeline
to
appoint
a
chair.
We
are
not
seeing
action
from
them
suddenly
enough
that
the
local
plan
meetings
I
I
have
attended
the
big
debate
that
was
was
very
interesting.
It
was
noted
in
that
meeting
that
the
last
time
cambridge
had
really
showed
real
leadership
on
this
on.
B
This
matter
was
when
the
council
had
actually
forced
passive
housing
standards
on
the
clay
farm
development,
and
that
was
a
decision
made
by
sean
reid
and
the
lib
dem
group.
So
I
would
just
note
that
it
is
really
time
that
the
cambridge
city
council
got
back
to
a
position
of
leadership
on
this
issue
and
at
the
moment
we
are
not
there.
Thank
you.
A
I
I
With
attacking
our
our
work
on
emergency,
but
we
accept
our
role,
we
are
taking
a
lead
in
reducing
emissions
and
increasing
biodiversity
we
will,
with
others
provide.
We
are
providing
community
leadership
for
caffeine
missions
in
cambridge
and
we're
supporting
the
plan
cambridgeshire
climate
commission,
as
has
been
said,
the
the
whole
budget
is
is,
is
a
cohesive
and
comprehensive
approach
to
the
needs
of
cambridge,
including
the
needs
for
climate
change
action,
and
we
all
would
be
pursuing
with
with
vigor
in
the
air
ahead.
I
When
we
go
to
the
elections
in
may,
we
are.
We
are
clear,
what
we're
offering
cambridge
and
we
believe
that
we
will
succeed
in
those
elections.
We
will
see
what
they
have
to
say
about
your
approach,
negative
as
it
is
so
I
will
not
do
anything
else
except
to
put
this
whole
whole
budget
to
the
chamber.
To
vote
for.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
A
A
H
F
Okay,
because
the
sergeant
you
have
a
right
of
reply
or
what
you're
saying.
A
A
Okay,
we
now
go
to
oral
questions
because
of
the
fact
that
this
is
a
reconvened
meeting.
If
there
is
any
member
who
had
put
a
question
that
is
absent.
This
evening
I
had
advised
group
is
that
another
member
can
put
the
question
and
supplementary
a
member
can
choose
to
withdraw
an
overall
question
when
called
if
it
no
longer
wishes
to
be
part.
A
This
item
will
last
a
maximum
30
minutes.
The
executive
councillor,
chair
or
nominee
will
have
up
to
two
minutes
to
reply.
The
questionnaire
will
have
two
minutes
to
put
a
supplementary
question
or
to
seek
clarification
of
your
response
to
the
original
question.
The
executive
council,
chair
or
nominee
will
have
a
further
two
minutes
to
reply
to
the
supplementary
question
at
the
concise
of
30
minutes.
Those
that
have
not
answered
may
provide
a
written
response
to
the
member
who
put
the
question.
A
F
G
Sorry,
I
forgot.
No,
it's
been
a
long
meeting
question
one
for
the
lead
robbery.
B
In
addition,
mayor
to
the
council
lighting
up
the
guild,
tour,
blue
and
yellow
on
the
sad
day
that
the
government
announced
that
we
were
leaving,
we
will
be
flying
the
european
flag
on
the
9th
of
may
and
we
plan
to
continue
flying
the
european
flag.
Each
9th
of
may
in
perpetuity.
E
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
ask
the
executive
councillor
to
report
on
the
progress
of
lisa's
husband's
anti-poverty
strategy.
F
I
can
do
either
I'll
try
and
put
a
bit
of
both.
G
So,
in
terms
of
the
anti-poverty
strategy,
one
of
the
first
things
that
we
did
when
we
became
the
ruling
group
in
2014,
which
was
before
my
time,
was
to
start
funding
our
anti-poverty
work
really
rigorously.
G
So
we
introduced
a
living
wage
officer
and
poverty
fund,
and
I
forgot
to
set
my
timer
so
you're
going
to
have
to
king
me.
We
now
fund
hundreds
of
thousands
of
pounds
worth
of
grants
to
community
groups
and
homelessness
prevention
projects
across
many
other
initiatives,
such
as
the
support
and
advice
for
universal
credit
payments,
we're
currently
helping
to
fund
and,
of
course,
the
hundreds
of
new
council
homes
we're
building
in
the
city.
G
Cambridge
is
the
most
unequal
city
in
the
country,
and
I
know
that
all
of
us
and
all
our
residents
want
to
work
hard
to
challenge
poverty
and
inequality.
Our
approach
is
always
evidence
driven.
That's
why
you
don't
set
our
anti-policy
property
strategy
in
stone,
but
renew
it
regularly
and,
as
I
said
earlier
in
the
meeting
we
are
currently
in
that
renewal
process
and
just
to
kind
of
briefly,
you
also
mentioned
the
anti-poverty
food
poverty
hub.
I
can't
talk
straight.
B
I
I
I
These
pressures
led
to
many
firms
of
auditors
actually
losing
staff
because
of
the
pressure
that
the
staff
will
put
under
to
complete
the
work
in
such
a
short
amount
of
time
insufficiently
experienced
auditors
within
our
external
audits
of,
has
been
a
direct
result
on
this
council
and
we've
been
unable
to
fully
resolve
the
audit
within
the
reduced
time
stable,
undertale,
applicable
the
increased
expectations
and
requirements
on
auditors
arising
from
high-profile
corporate
failures.
They've
also
added
pressure
on
orders,
so
brilliant
and
the
result
was
more
pressure
on
the
auditors.
I
I
Changes
to
the
finance
team
have
also
have
been
a
problem
for
us,
because
this
is
within
the
council,
but
for
next
year
we
have.
This
is
the
questions
about
next
year
we
are
developing
a
a
program
of
trade
and
designed
with
the
authorship
so
that
the
reports
can
be
compiled
and
the
accounts
supported
by
october.
It's
definitely
not
going
to
be
done
by
the
june
july
period
that
the
government
recently
approached.
B
Yep,
I
do,
I
guess,
I'm
sure,
like
council
robertson,
I
was
disappointed
to
read
yesterday
that
the
audit
has
been
again
delayed.
So
we've
had
the
council
civic
affairs
meeting
in
march,
which
worries
me.
I
guess
I
I
I
have
a
couple
of
follow-up
questions
in
that
regard,
which
is,
is
there
any
visible
issues
that
are
causing
these
delays?
B
Do
we
have
a
clear
set
of
lessons
for,
although
we,
the
deadlines,
you've
mentioned,
have
been
brought
forward,
maybe
difficultly
and
maybe
sufficiently,
but
we
are
now
well
beyond
previous
deadlines
on
the
completion
of
these
accounts.
So
will
we
be
moving
to
a
position
where
we
will
be
at
least
meeting
october
and
finally,
in
response
to
some
of
the
questions
from
earlier?
Does
the
labour
council
take
it
take
responsibility
for
this
failure
in
finances?
Thank.
H
I
I
I
We
are
also
hopeful
that
the
accounts
for
last
year
will
be
completed
very
soon
and
we've
got
the
auditors
to
give
us
a
specific
timetable
for
completion
of
the
work
on
that,
so
we're
doing
what
we
can,
but,
as
I
say,
it's
certainly
not
something
we
have
to
blame
for
if
the
government's
too
busy,
with
anything.
B
Yes,
the
question
four
suggests
council
climate
change,
violence,
city
center,
and
I
feel,
although
this
question
referred
to
extinct
conversion
plans
last
week,
who
knows
what
they
might
be
planning
next
week.
B
B
Kind
of
particular
interest
in
this
question,
but
could
I
ask
exactly
I'm
sure,
she's
going
to
continue
as
the
council
is
going
to
continue
to
engage
with
extinction
development
and
what
advice
you
might
offer
to
them
over
tactics
and
strategy
in
the
future.
F
Well,
I
think
that
the
work
of
greta
sunberg,
in
particular
the
school
strikes.
G
That
they
were
targeting
the
wrong
people.
I
think
that
I.
E
F
F
F
B
Question
number
five:
please
mayor,
I
share
the
concerns
of
councillor
about
what's
been
happening.
I
think
it's
outrageous
that
people
who
are
chinese
residents
chinese
students
in
our
city
have
been
targeted.
B
If
you
actually
look
mayor
exactly
what
has
happened,
the
deaths
have
occurred
over
95
of
the
impact
has
been
in
china,
particularly
in
in
and
in
dubai
province,
and
the
deaths
outside
of
china,
despite
all
of
the
media
coverage,
have
been
14
compared
to
around
3
000
deaths
in
in
china.
So
so,
whilst
there
are
issues-
and
I
can
understand
the
need
for
the
world
health
organization
to
react,
what
we
need
to
do
is
support
our
chinese
community.
We've
worked
with
the
chinese
community
association
with
the
cambridge
chinese
center.
B
We've
been
in
correspondence
with
the
police.
We
think
it
that
the
incidents
in
the
university
and
in
the
streets
and
also
have
to
say
some
parents
criticizing
the
fact
that
there
are
chinese
pupils
in
some
cambridge
schools
are
completely
unacceptable
and
should
be
called
out
as
racist
activity.
Given
that
these
are
innocent
people,.
I
B
I'm
very
happy
to
take
part
in
a
meeting
with
former
mayor
pipas.
I
also
think
it
would
be
good
to
make
a
statement
on
behalf
of
the
council
when
you
consider
that
a
number
of
people
in
the
chinese
community
have
got
relatives
who
either
caught
the
virus,
but
are
fine
but
they're
even
worse.
There
are
some
that
that
know.
B
B
Question
number
three:
the
council
made
various
preparations
in
relation
to
brexit
because
we
feared
some
of
what
is
now
being
talked
about,
so
we
had
planned
for
a
no
deal
brexit
and
its
impact,
particularly
on
the
council,
and
where
we
were
contributing
to
community
support.
B
B
There
are
23
000,
non-uk
eu
citizens
in
this
in
the
city
they're
our
people.
We
believe
that
they
need
to
be
protected
in
those
rights.
We
will
work
with
people
within
the
city
because
it
seems
to
be
that
the
government
is
double
talking
both
about
exactly
what
the
impacts
are
across
the
irish
sea,
but
also
exactly
what
they're
planning
to
do.
We
fear
that
they
are
going
to
crash
out
at
the
end
of
this
year,
and
we
will.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
I
think
it's
particularly
important
to
dust
off
those
kind
of
preparations,
because,
even
though
we
no
longer
face
a
no
deal
brexit,
we
will
face
a
very
hard
brexit
on
the
31st
of
october,
with
a
cliff
edge
that
might
impact
on
the
city's
significant
plane.
If
we
don't
reactivate
those
kind.
B
Eu
population,
and
particularly
the
eu
systems,
feel
very
vulnerable
with
just
the
little
status
and
basically
as
the
government's
win
with
an
immigration
policy
that
is
quite
concerning
and
has
made
again
national
headlines
for
one
of
our
cambridge
residents
most
recently.
So
I
would
encourage
the
the
leader
to
reconvene
the
brexit
group,
maybe
a
shortly
before
december,
so
that
all
city
operations
are.
B
B
I
take
counselor
going
to
point.
We
do
need
to
continue
to
assess
what
the
impacts
are,
as
we've
said
about
other
agendas
this
evening,
we're
not
omnipresent.
B
We
don't
have
magic
powers,
but
it
does
concern
us
that
the
home
secretary,
can't
even
in
an
answer
in
parliament,
distinguish
between
settled
and
pre-settled
status
and
we
do
need
to
work
and
try
and
convince
in
addition
to
daniel's
eye
or
our
other
mp,
because
we
are
not
going
to
win
some
of
these
arguments
unless
we
win
some
tory
support
and
we
do
need
to
actually
recognize
that.
Sadly,
in
the
way
that
the
last
general
election
was
handled,
we've
given
far
more
power
to
bad
people,
as
president
trump
might
say,.
G
B
Thank
you
councillor.
Of
course,
officers
have
already
told
me
that
what
I
was
asking
was
your
view.
I
mean
the
situation
that
we
have
with
that
event.
B
It
arrived
as
an
ice
rink
a
small
ice
rink
and
has
now
allowed
a
massive
funfair
to
creep
in
what
I'm
looking
for.
Is
council
former's
own
views
about
the
diesel
generator
with
our
our
views
on
climate
change,
the
scarring
of
the
grass
for
six
months
and
the
assurance
that
she's
motivated
solely
by
income
in
her
decision.
H
I've
questioned
whether
we
should
consider
it
going
forward
and
ask
whether
there
are
some
alternatives
that
we
can
consider.
That
would
be
much
better
in
view
as
for
a
climate
crisis
than
we
thought
of
us.
If
so,
you
know
climate
crisis,
biodiversity.
G
Wow
that
was
the
best
asked
question
number
I've
ever
heard.
Thank
you,
councillor,
o'reilly,
for
your
question.
Cambridge
folk
festival
has
been
working
for
some
time
to
tread
as
lightly
and
be
as
ethical
as
it
can
be.
G
Some
of
the
things
we've
addressed
already
include
the
efficient
use
of
renewable
energy,
the
use
of
seasonal,
sustainable
and
efficacy,
ethically
sourced
foods,
getting
rid
of
single-use
plastic
bottles
and
having
freely
available
drinking
water,
as
well
as
having
some
rather
snazzy
festival,
water
bottles,
available.
The
use
of
compost,
toilets
almost
100
use
of
renewable
energy
trying
to
encourage
as
much
recycling
as
possible
and
giving
food
donations
to
cambridge
community
lunches.
G
G
A
greener
festival
assesses
evidence,
events
and
festivals,
making
awards
for
those
who
have
demonstrated
a
strong
commitment
to
sustainability
and
a
reduction
of
environmental
impacts,
and
I
want
to
congratulate
the
whole
folk
festival,
team
and
all
our
city
council,
cambridge
life
staff,
for
achieving
this
accolade.
It
really
is
very
exciting.
H
F
G
What
can
I
say
of
course,
but
seriously
I
mean,
I
don't
know
how
many
other
people
remember
when
the
first
junction
building
was
opened,
but
I
can't
believe
it
was
30
years
ago
and
the
junction
is
actually
you're
fine.
G
The
junction
is
such
an
amazing
part
of
our
cultural
offering,
and
I
know
that
I've
enjoyed
and
appreciated
so
many
things
there,
including
school,
shows
and
either
deputy
heads,
music,
gigs,
comedy
gigs,
local
writers,
festivals
and
perhaps
especially
some
of
the
great
showcases
that
were
led
by
the
chips
team.
I
maybe
enjoyed
slightly
less
standing
outside
six
porn
college
christmas
or
valentine's
events
in
the
freezing
cold,
touching
a
guest
list,
but
I
know
the
students
nonetheless
enjoyed
it
and
I'm
sure
that
everyone
here
has
their
own
different
memories.
G
B
Well,
it's
an
open
question.
So
I'll
give
a
long
answer.
I'm
very
proud
of
everything
this
council
is
doing.
Obviously
we
are
not
resting
on
our
laurels
and
we
recognize
a
lot
more
can
be
achieved
on
sustainability.
B
So
that
is
why
I
will
reference
things
that
didn't
really
get
the
kind
of
glowing
tributes
that
they
deserved
in
the
budget
debate.
Council
matthews,
particularly
as
you've
given
me
such
a
wonderful
opportunity,
creating
a
corporate
energy
and
carbon
reduction
manager
post
the
work
that
we've
put
into
the
local
plan,
which
stephen
kelly's
still
awake,
and
it
is
listening
attentively
to
everything,
that's
dead.
B
The
focus
in
that
plan
both
on
tackling
biodiversity
and
making
climate
change
a
priority
and,
along
with
the
commitment
of
councillor
thornburgh,
we
really
do
need
to
move
towards
passive
house
and
to
answer
councillor
diary
doesn't
seem
to.
Oh
he's
moved
the
moving
council
of
dl.
This
is
the
next
local
plan
after
the
last
local
plan.
B
So
that
is
the
opportunity
that
we
can
set
the
policies
that
you
laudably
mentioned
your
predecessors,
the
funding
from
europe,
the
trees,
the
opportunities
of
working
in
partnership,
including
with
the
climate
change
commission,
not
mentioned
fully
enough
the
strategic
implementation
following
the
declaration
in
2019
of
a
biodiversity
emergency
strategy.
I
could
go
on
and
on
and
on,
if,
if
I
wouldn't
go
on
and
on,
if
it
wasn't
for
the
fact
that
questions
finish
on
30
minutes,
whether
I
go.
H
B
Fantastic
well
also
a
fantastic
summary
of
the
price
release
I
I
gave
reference
to
earlier.
I
think
we've
already
covered
on
this
side
of
the
chamber
exactly
what
we
think
about
the
overall
climate
changes,
sustainability
strategy
and
our
defeat
black
foundation
and
our
continuing
doing
of
the
complete
bare
minimum,
but
it
also
seems
to
be
a
systematic
problem
for
for
labor
in
cambridge,
especially
dark.
When
you
look
at
your
county
council
colleagues
budget
amendment,
so
I
will
mention
that
they
prioritize
adult
and
social
care.
It's
something
we
certainly
all
support.
B
B
B
I
I
I
know
it's
late
that
councilor
matthews
confused
himself
there.
I
think
I
certainly
was
very
confused,
particularly
the
section
about
what's
happening
at
the
county
council,
because
I
thought
you're
at
the
city
council,
so
we
will
come
forward
with
a
strategy.
We
hope
that
you
will
support
our
people's
assemblies
when
we
run
them.
We
hope
that
you
will
sign
up
to
the
cambridge
climate
charter
in
the
same
way
that
we
want
residents
and
businesses
to.
We
will
not
accept
you
trying
to
describe
our
considerable
effort
as
useless.
B
H
B
Question
10,
please,
the
swept
protocol
has
been
an
operation
for
a
total
of
40
nights
between
the
beginning
of
october
and
last
year
and
the
12th
of
february,
and
it's
this
year
and
provided
emergency
shelter
for
100
individuals.
It
will
be
invoked
again
tomorrow
until
monday.
B
The
second
march,
due
to
the
cold
weather
cemetery
promotion,
the
council
has
developed
the
council,
promotional,
swept,
has
developed
significantly
over
the
last
two
winters
and
now
includes
one
the
distributed
email,
usually
three
days
in
advance
or
sweat
to
over
100
local
partners,
which
is
in
turn
cascaded
to
those
in
the
city
who
will
come
into
contact
with
rust
keepers.
Two
a
commissioned
suites
outreach
service
which
operates
free
ships
five
days
a
week
to
target
lost
sleepers
and
encourage
them
into
accommodation.
B
Three,
a
new
sweat
weekend
outreach
service,
which
is
an
extension
of
the
above,
the
aforementioned
sweet
own
service
operating
on
weekend
evenings
when
the
swept
is
triggered
and
fourth
and
last
promotion
on
the
council's
social
media
sites
and
on
the
new
street
support
website
and
app.
C
Thank
you
for
that.
I'd
like
to
just
say
if
you
can
express
a
thank
you
not
just
for
myself,
but
I'm
sure
from
all
councillors,
for
the
support
these
organizations
give
it's
unseen.
It's
invisible!
It's
done
late
at
night.
I
think
most
of
us
have
seen
these
volunteers
going
around
handing
out
food
drinks,
tents,
blankets,
so
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
that
if
you
could
express
the
thanks
of
all
the
council
to
all
these
organizations
for
their
artwork.
B
Council,
russians
absolutely
correct.
We
are,
we
are
an
important
body
in
terms
of
coordinating
the
efforts
in
in
tackling
rough
sleeping,
but
we
can't
do
it
ourselves.
We
have
to
work
a
need
with
organizations
like
jimmy's
and
members
of
the
public
and
other
interested
bodies
and
groups
who
have
a
you
share.
A
passion
impacting
this
injustice
and
strep
is
very
important
because
there's
no,
you
don't
have
to
be
privy
to
public
funds.
B
A
Okay,
then
members
are
advised
to
note
that
written
questions
which
had
been
received
for
this
meeting,
which
can
be
found
in
the
information
fact
on
pages
23-26.
