What
would
a
way
to
start
a
Council
meeting
from
the
leader
of
the
opposition
immediately?
He
accuses
us
of
trying
to
fabricate
an
amendment
simply
because
we
don't
want
his
words.
We
couldn't
be
further
from
the
truth.
We
are
in
a
negotiation
here.
A
contact
point
is
not
a
police
station.
We
do
not
want
to
have
the
increasing
use
of
single
driver
police
vehicles
arriving.
D
We
have
seen
occasions
where
eight
police
vehicles
have
arrived
at
a
scene
each
with
a
single
driver,
not
just
a
poor
use
of
resource,
but
it
reflects
the
fact
Chancellor
pick
that
and
cancel
Martinelli.
If
we
don't
stand
up
for
there
being
a
real
police
station
in
the
city
center,
we
will
be
policed
by
panda
cars
coming
in
from
five
or
ten
miles
away.
That
is
why
our
position
is
to
start
and
continue
to
argue
that
we
need
to
have
a
base.
D
We
have
already
seen
that
the
semi
disappearance
of
neighborhood
policing,
where
do
you
think
your
contact
point-
is
going
to
have
as
a
base
for
a
few
police
cars?
Where
do
you
think
your
contact
point
is
going
to
be
a
base
for
people
to
cycle
and
walk
out
into
market
Ward
into
Peters
field
in
other
Ward's?
We
are
not
seeking
to
divide
on
this
issue,
but
we
are
saying
that
if
a
divisional
police
station
moves
out,
we've
got
to
have
a
police
presence
in
the
city
24-hour
contact,
but
we
also
need
to
have
policing
here.
D
So
it
is.
It
is
the
case
that
we
want
to
have
greater
integration.
We
would
like
to
share
say,
have
shared
offices,
but
we
are
not
in
the
business
of
just
damaging
our
own
negotiating
position
by
passing
that
as
an
easy
route,
it
is
counselor
BIC,
it's
an
easy
route
for
the
Police
Commission
to
say
some
sort
of
daytime
office
is
enough.
E
You
very
much,
madam
mayor
well,
I'm
not
entirely
sure
that
I
trust
the
leader
in
negotiating
with
Tory
Grundy's,
his
track
record
hasn't
been
particularly
successful,
so
I
think
I
think
I.
Think
I
think
what
is
proposed
here
is
an
easy
way
out
for
the
police
and
crime
Commissioner
to
say:
oh
we're,
leaving
a
police
station
in
Cambridge,
it's
just
on
the
outskirts
right.
So
in
a
way
by
promoting
this
amendment,
we
are
giving
away
a
lot
of
our
negotiation
weight
to
the
to
the
police
and
crime
Commissioner
to
say
Oh.
E
Actually
it
is
the
the
new
station
is
within
the
city
boundaries.
You
have
a
police
station
in
the
city
and
it's
staffed
24/7.
What
is
what
is
much
more
important
and
important
for
especially
the
inner
city
wards
is
that
we
have
a
continuous
police
presence.
The
police
and
crime
finish
our
Commissioner
will
easily
say
no,
no,
a
city
with
two
police
stations
is
not
possible.
Therefore,
we
dismiss
this
proposal
outright.
I
think
that's
the
wrong
approach.
F
I
will
be
as
quick
as
I
can
I,
just
like
to
say,
I'm,
very
surprised
at
the
idea
of
what
successful
negotiation
is,
because
I
think
70
million
pounds
for
this
council
to
be
able
to
build
what
will
be
actually
over
a
thousand
homes
in
new
much
needed
homes,
including
five
hundred
counts
of
homes
in
this
city,
is
real
success.
On
this
point,
I
would
just
like
to
say.
Labor's
position
is
that,
as
councillor
Massey
said,
we
think
the
party
opposite
for
bringing
this
motion.
G
So
we
we
didn't
ask
for
two
city
center
police
stations:
we've
not
even
asked
for
a
city
police
station
on
the
outskirts,
we're
saying
we
want
a
city
center
base
a
station.
It
may
be
a
smaller
one,
maybe
than
the
one
we've
currently
got,
but
we
want
a
station
so
be
not
asking
for
two.
So
I
don't
quite
know.
G
We've
we've
got
two
from
and
the
whole
idea
is
that
we
are
saying
that
if
you
give
the
PCC
an
inch
she's
going
to
take
a
mile
so
rather
than
playing
into
his
hands,
but
he's
already
camping,
to
say
of
his
brilliant.
If
you've
got
no
ideas
about
shared
facilities,
come-
and
let
me
know
so-
we
can
get
rid
of
that
station.
So
you
don't
have
one
it's
not
stupid.
He
thought
he
wants
to
get
rid
of
the
city
center
station.
G
G
You
know
your
motion
says
that
you've
got
to
note
that
the
police
and
crime
Commissioner
wants
to
move
the
city
center
out
of
the
city
station
out
of
the
city
center
on
to
the
outskirts
I'm
saying
we
want
to
retain
a
city
center
one
because
we
need
it
desperately
and
if
you
give
him
an
inch
and
say
to
him.
Yes,
that's
going
to
let's
investigate
more
shared
facilities,
he's
going
to
go,
that's
great!
You
do
that
and
you
won't
have
a
city
center
base
at
all
and
everything
will
be
brilliant.
H
Then
thanks
everyone
for
the
debate,
I
think
overall,
as
indicated,
I
have
no
particular
issue
with
many
of
their
changes
to
point.
One
I
think
a
lot
of
what
you're
saying
is
entirely
consistent
with
the
motion
has
originally
proposed.
My
concern,
as
it
has
been
since
brief
discussion
yesterday,
was
that
by
striking
out
point
two,
we
are
removing
the
request
for
the
council
to
work
with
the
police
to
develop
the
shared
workspace,
and
that
essentially,
is
removing
the
imperative
for
the
council
to
act
within
its
remit
and
I.
H
Think
this
motion
is
strong
without
the
amendment
which
removes
the
one
part
of
the
process
over
which
we
actually
have
a
degree
of
direct
control
in
this
chamber,
so
so
I
think
that
that
what
we're
hoping
to
do
is
call
for
action
from
the
City
Council
rather
than
awaiting
Police
Commissioner
Abel
whites,
when
I
am
also
pleased
to
announce
that
on
this
point
we
will
be
moving
a
petition
to
the
people
of
Cambridge
supporting
restating
our
goals
from
the
original
motion
and
I
expect.
We
will
be
rediscovered
recourse.
Thank
you.
I.
I
B
J
They
continued
to
sit
on
the
fence,
looking
in
both
directions,
playing
politics
with
people's
lives,
playing
politics
with
people's
lives
and
laughing
at
the
same
time,
when
it's
not
a
laughing
matter
and
he
felt
betrayed
as
he
said.
These
were
his
words
if
you
can't
trust
them
on
brexit,
how
can
you
trust
them
on
anything
else?
Like
those
big
issues
in
terms
of
tackling
climate
change?
J
Now,
as
members
know,
this
is
the
third.
The
third
occasion
I've
had
to
bring
this
motion
to
Council
to
this
chamber
and
on
the
previous
two
occasions,
the
ruling
labour
group
has
failed
to
categorically
support
a
people's
vote,
a
confirmatory
vote.
They
fudged,
they
fudged
on
every
occasion,
I
brought
it
back
now.
I,
don't
know
what
I've
done
to
have
the
southern
change
of
the
labor
groups
position,
but
I
welcome
their
clarity.
J
It's
still
blurred
and,
although
we're
one
minute
past
midnight,
there
is
still
time
to
do
that.
The
fact
the
fact,
madam
mayor,
that
the
labor
group
has
chosen
to
delete
that
part
of
the
original
motion
that
claims
that
we
need
to
basically
tell
those
main
political
parties
to
be
very
clear
on
their
position
on
remain
indicates
that
they
continue
to
play
politics
with
the
people
of
Cambridge
I
move.
The
motion,
madam
there
and
I
also
have
my
revised
motion
as
amended,
which
I'll
distribute
to
the
council.
D
D
J
I
Okay,
members
of
the
council,
what
councilor
council
is
referring
to
is
council
procedure,
all
26
alteration
of
emotion,
and
it
says
a
member
may,
with
the
consent
of
the
council,
signified
without
discussion,
alter
emotion
of
which
he
has
given
notice.
So
the
council
has
to
consent
to
the
alteration
of
the
motion.
B
K
C
C
J
E
B
L
Three
years
ago,
we
stood
here
before
the
referendum
in
an
AGM,
and
at
that
point
we
passed
a
motion
where
we
as
a
council,
supported
remaining
in
the
European
Union.
Many
of
us
here
fought
shoulder
to
shoulder
for
the
remain
cause,
and
it's
probably
the
only
time
that
former
councillor
Sanders
will
ever
have
a
Labour
branded
poster
in
his
window.
L
To
do
what
those
of
us
who
are
union
members
are
used
to
doing
to
say
whether
we
want
the
deal
which
has
been
negotiated
or
to
stay
as
we
are
a
confirmation.
Public
vote
is
the
democratic
charts
for
everyone
to
have
their
say
on
the
deal
put
before
them
to
confirm
it
to
confirm.
If
knowing
what
we
now
know,
we
want
to
leave
or
to
say
no,
we
would
rather
stay,
and
neither
I
have
to
say
are
the
elections
on
Thursday
a
proxy
for
that
public
vote,
as
the
deleted
paragraph
at
the
beginning
suggests.
L
What
we
are
voting
for
is
people
to
represent
us
in
Europe
I
personally
hope
that
they
will
serve
all
of
them
their
full
term,
and
so
we
need
to
choose
the
people
who
represent
us
best
through
that
term.
Of
course,
I
personally
want
to
see
Alex
mayor
and
as
many
other
pro
EU
socialists
and
internationalists
in
that
Parliament
as
possible.
I'm
sure
that
others,
in
that
this
chain
door,
especially
potentially
and
I-
imagine
council,
are
nestling.
L
Err
might
have
different
views
on
that,
but
for
the
council
to
state
in
emotion
and
obviously
we're
not
telling
people.
You
know
people
were
vote
for
different
reasons,
but
for
the
council
just
state
in
a
motion
that
the
election
is
a
proxy
for
something
else
is
not
appropriate
and
that's
why
we've
removed
that
sentence.
It
shouldn't
be
a
proxy
because,
quite
frankly,
we
can
do
better
than
that.
We
should
have
the
real
thing.
It's
time
to
break
the
deadlock.
L
But
if
we
need,
if
we
do
end
up
staying
in
the
EU,
we
need
to
think
further
than
that.
We
need
to
think
about
the
kind
of
Europe.
We
want
a
Europe
which
supports
ordinary
people
which
protects
the
vulnerable,
which
stands
up
for
the
rights
of
workers,
a
Europe
where
so-called
liberal
politicians
do
not
block
measures
to
improve
work.
That
mobile
workers
rights
has
happened
very
recently,
a
Europe
which
fights
for
a
green
new
deal,
a
Europe
which
promotes
lgbtq+
rights.
L
B
M
Since
we
last
debated
this
issue,
madam
met
the
Labour
Party's
policy
on
a
people's
vote
has
not
become
even
a
tiny
bit
clearer.
Even
their
candidate
in
tomorrow's
EU
parliamentary
elections
was
forced
to
awkwardly
make
a
joke
of
it.
The
recent
Cambridge
hustings
event,
but
what
has
changed
is
the
public's
lack
of
patience
with
it.
M
Because
while
we
hear
plenty
about
workers,
rights
and
environmental
protections,
the
claims
have
not
a
single
job
lost,
have
long
since
faded
away
because
in
work
rights
and
protections.
Don't
do
you
very
much
good
if
you're
no
longer
in
work
and
while
it's
the
Liberal
Democrats,
who
have
clearly
and
consistently
called
for
a
people's
vote
on
the
brexit
deal
with
the
option
to
remain,
and
it's
also
the
Lib
Dems
who
most
rodent
readily
join
the
cross
party.
M
People's
vote
motion,
which
culminated
in
a
million
people
marching
through
central
London
in
March
and
now
yet
hold
out,
hope
that
all
banners
can
be
put
aside
when
we
win
the
opportunity
of
a
people's
vote
and
we
campaign
together
for
the
UK
to
remain
as
full
members
of
the
European
Union.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
I've
got
counts,
hold
on
I'll,
just
go
through
the
list
and
I've
got
cancer.
Ta'ala
and
I've
got
cancer.
Thornburg
Council,
Herbert
I
saw
you
put
your
hand
up,
but
you
do
get
two
minutes
after
the
debate.
So
is
that,
okay,
if
I
carry
on
okay,
so
I'm
gonna
do
labour
next
and
then
you
and
then
labour
so
cancer
at
our.
N
Is
it
not
an
irony
in
2008
didn't
their
party
leader
said
it
is
time
for
a
real
random
in
Europe
and
in
2010
their
party
manifesto
promised
a
referendum
after
they
wanted
to
be
the
champion
of
delegating
power
to
the
people.
Is
it
not
true?
The
party
continue
to
propagate,
along
with
the
than
in
laws.
Free
movement
was
the
root
cause
of
the
whole
issue
in
this
country,
and
they
took
a
decision
to
go.
They
took
a
decision
for
a
referendum.
N
Is
it
not
also
true,
the
den
leader
of
your
party
wandered
a
new
point
based
immigration
policy
to
control
immigration?
You
know
why?
Because
you
thought
immigration
and
immigration
and
learned
the
root
cause
of
every
problem
in
this
country,
mana
mayor,
despite
all
the
rhetoric
and
propaganda.
When
you
look
at
when
look
at
the
motion,
I
think
politics
is
broken
for
them
and
they
have
to
find
someone
to
blame.
They
got
a
divorce
deal.
The
people
of
Cambridge
cannot
will
not
shallow
trust.
O
I'm
glad
that
members
opposite
are
now
finally
putting
in
amendments
which
support
a
confirmatory
ballot.
I
agree
with
councillor
Smith
that
the
elections
tomorrow
are
not
that
ballot,
but
tomorrow's
election
will
without
question,
be
taken
as
an
indication
of
the
proportion
of
the
country
who
do
want
to
remain,
and
it
is
abundantly
clear
that
most
remain
errs
no
longer
consider
a
vote
from
Labour
nationally
as
a
remain
vote.
O
I've
spent
the
last
couple
of
weeks
at
various
hustings
and
I
have
to
say
that
the
Labour
candidates
that
those
hustings
have
really
struggled
to
articulate
what
Labour's
policy
on
our
future
relationship
with
Europe
is
and
if
they
have
struggled
to
articulate
it.
How
on
earth
can
voters
hope
to
understand
where
the
Labour
Party's
is
on
our
future
relationship
with
Europe
I
know
that
the
vast
majority
of
members
in
this
chamber
will
be
as
horrible
I
am
at
the
rise
of
hard-right
populism
across
the
globe.
O
Membership
of
the
European
Union
has
enabled
this
country
to
work
in
collaboration
with
neighboring
nations,
to
shape
and
influence
that
partnership
for
40
years.
Those
years
have
seen
incredible
peace
and
proc
growth
in
prosperity
across
Europe,
I'm
glad
that
members
opposite
have
finally
agreed
to
back
a
confirmatory
vote
on
a
future
deal,
but
I
still
have
really
serious
concerns
about
what
the
position
of
their
party
would
be
in
such
a
vote.
O
B
P
Although
I
voted
to
remain
in
the
EU
and
strongly
believe
that
our
future
will
be
better
if
we
will
remain
closely
alive
to
our
neighbors
I
recognize
that
the
result
of
the
referendum
was
a
vote
to
leave.
However,
we
had
no
idea
of
the
terms
of
any
withdrawal
agreement
or
the
shake
of
the
future
arrangement
between
the
UK
and
the
EU,
and
many
issues
that
were
raised
were
dismissed
during
the
campaign
like
the
EU
UK
border
in
Ireland
have
now
become
very
significant.
P
B
M
B
M
Q
The
amendment
both
the
motion
and
the
amendment
call
for
whatever
deal
is
agreed
to
be
put
to
to
call
upon
Parliament
to
vote
for
a
confirm,
a
confirmatory
vote
for
whatever
deal
is
agree,
and
it
also
calls
for
a
people's
vote.
I,
don't
know
where
people
in
this
chamber
have
been
over
the
last
three
years.
What
I
have
consistently
seen
is
the
complete
failure
of
Parliament
to
agree
on
either
of
those
issues.
It
will
not
agree
to
a
deal.
Q
I
think
what,
though,
those
who
calling
for
a
second
referendum
or
for
a
confirmatory
vote
should
be
careful.
What
they're
wishing
for
I
believe
I'm
great
remain,
but
I
believe
that
what
tomorrow's
vote
will
indicate
is
that
the
country
is
overwhelmingly
fed
up
with
the
way
that
this
issue
is
being
handled,
that
Faraj
is
tapping
into
that
sense
of
frustration
and
that
he
will
win
with
a
handsome
majority
over
the
other
parties.
R
E
Trying
to
actually,
you
know,
convey
to
the
people.
I
received
letters
from
my
MP
telling
me
that
you
know
a
vote
for
lay
is
now
a
vote
for
remain
when
a
former
mayor
of
the
city
publicly
on
the
radio
always
says
that
labor
is
no
longer
a
party
of
remain
I'm,
not
surprised
that
people
are
confused
and
with
your
amendment
you're
adding
to
that
confusion.
F
So
Cambridge
labor
has
always
been
remained
very
openly.
We
have
campaigned
on
that.
However,
unlike
the
members
opposite,
we
have
representatives
working
representing
people
from
all
over
this
country
and
what
we
have
seen
from
this
referendum
not
only
was
the
result
seeing
that
we're
divided,
but
he's
resulted
in
a
totally
divided
country,
and
why
did
we
have
that
referendum?
Because
your
party,
when
you
got
into
bed
with
the
Tories
you
wanted
it
and
now
look
at
the
mess
of
the
country?
F
You
have
created
a
mess
and
I
do
not
know
how
we
will
get
out
of
it
and
the
reality
is.
If
we
have
a
second
vote
now,
which
I
have
always
wanted,
the
majority
of
breaks
the
tears
will
not
be
happy
with
the
deal
on
it,
they
will
want
no
deal.
This
is
the
mess
that
we
are
now
headed
into.
I
will
be
voting
for
my
labour
MEP
tomorrow.
Thank
goodness,
it's
not
a
second
referendum
because,
as
has
been
said
particular
in
this
region,
brexit
party
is
likely
to
win
I'll,
be
voting
labour.
F
B
C
C
B
D
We
have
treated
our
officers
and
those
that
watch
Cambridge
TV
plenty
of
debates
on
this.
It
was
the
case
that,
in
the
last
vote
that
we
had
at
the
last
debate
that
are
similar
that
Tory
then
he
is
working.
It
was
the
case
that
at
the
last
vote,
we
did
actually
vote
for
a
second
vote
with
the
option
to
remain
so.
It's
not
true
that
this
is
a
new
vote,
but
I
do
think.
D
It
is
right
that
this
chamber
has
a
an
overwhelming
say
as
if
the
amended
motion
is
supported
and
I
hope
it
will
be,
but
I
do
think
that
both
councilor
hip
King
and
councilor,
more
and
other
speakers
as
well,
but
council,
hip
cannon
cancer.
More
have
hit
on
the
fact
that
the
people's
vote
does
not
run
in
Bolsover
in
Grimsby,
in
T
side
and
in
a
lot
of
neglected
vote
communities
around
this
country.
D
So
it
is
the
Farraj
line
that
there
has
been
a
decision,
and
it
was
your
coalition
government
that
set
this
going
and
you
enabled
the
Tories
to
put
in
the
leaflet
that
went
through
every
door.
We
will
respect
this
decision,
so
a
leaflet
went
through
every
door
in
the
country
saying
the
government
would
respect
the
decision.
What
a
crazy
stupid
thing
to
do,
given
that
what
it
should
be
doing
is
what
is
in
the
best
interest
of
the
country.
So
it
is
about
respect,
then.
D
The
reason
why
the
last
paragraph
had
to
be
changed
mayor
is
that
the
two
of
them
to
the
MPs
that
are
fought
hardest
for
remain
have
been
Daniels
Eichner
and
the
former
Conservative
MP
for
South
Cambridgeshire.
So
it
is
right
that
we
recognise
that
and
I
hope
that
the
council
will
support
them.
The
motion,
because
Cambridge
does
want
remain,
but
there's
also
has
to
be
showed
respect
to
those
in
our
community.
You
have
the
different
view.
J
You,
madam
mayor,
just
coming
back
to
the
leaders.
Point
I
mean
I
know
his
memory
may
all
be
failing
him,
but
if
you
go
back
to
the
video
actually,
your
position
was
not
clear.
On
the
previous
two
occasions
the
motions
were
bought,
it
was
no
ifs,
no
buts,
no
maybes.
You
had
so
many
if
so
many
buts
and
so
many
maybes
in
your
composite
motion.
But
actually
you
could
drive
a
coaching
horses
through
it.
It
was
just
the
same
position
that
you
had
on
a
national
basis.
J
Your
colleague
talks
about
the
Conservative
government
and
how
they're
delivering
a
disastrous
brexit
and
how
we
should
be
putting
it
back
to
the
people,
but
your
party's
own
website
says
that
you're
not
going
to
put
it
back
to
the
people.
Your
party's
own
website
says
that
they're
going
to
accept
the
referendum
and
actually,
as
my
colleague
indicated,
Barry
Gardner
claims
that
you
are
not
the
party
of
remain.
You
are
not
the
party
of
remain
a
former
city
councilor
here
and
your
position
on
brexit
your
position
on
brexit.
It's
with
the
birds.
J
You
want
a
strong
relationship
with
Europe,
but
you
don't
you
don't
want
migration,
you
don't
want
freedom
of
movement,
we
actually
want
freedom,
I,
know,
you're,
looking
shocked,
go
to
your
national
website
and
have
a
look
because
that's
what
you're
saying
you
one
thing:
you
are
wanting
controlled
movement.
You
are
not
honoring
freedom
of
movement,
and
so
you
want
a
strong
relationship,
but
you
need
to
be
to
have
that
strong
relationship.
J
You
need
to
be
part
of
Europe,
you
need
to
be
part
of
it
and
accepting
freedom
of
movement,
and
you
talk
about
inequality
but
breaks
it
breaks.
It
will
make
all
of
us
poorer
and
importantly,
it
will
make
those
people
who
are
struggling
to
make
ends
meet
even
poorer
and
what
I
don't
understand.
What
I
don't
understand
is
that
brexit
is
a
project
of
the
right
by
the
right
for
the
right,
as
another
politician
said,
and
labor
nationally
continues
to
support
that
right.
Wing
project
and
I
can't
understand
why.
B
I
B
Q
B
I
B
P
I'd
like
to
stand
before
you
and
say
how
pleased
I
am
that
Cambridge
City
Council
is
leading
the
way
in
acknowledging
the
significance
of
species
collapse
and
pledging
action,
but
I
can't
because
I
fear
that
even
this
will
be
too
little
too
late.
I
hope
I'm
wrong
and
that
we
will
do
today
make
contributions
to
turning
us
away
from
the
ecological
and
agricultural
disasters
that
face
us.
I
hope
that
we
can
look
back
on
today
and
say
that
it
marked
the
point
where
we
will
not
only
look.
P
We
not
only
took
the
species
loss
seriously
but
put
proper
effort
into
developing
measures
to
deal
with
it.
It's
not
that
we
have
done
nothing
to
date.
This
City
Council
takes
climate
change
food
policy
in
biodiversity
seriously,
but
we
aren't
yet
true
with
the
sense
of
urgency
that
it
deserves
that
can
change
today
and
it's
about
time
it
did.
We
have
known
what
is
happening
with
climate
change,
global
heating
in
species
loss
for
decades.
As
far
back
as
1992,
a
biodiversity
convention
was
adopted,
along
with
climate
change
convention
at
the
Rio
Earth
Summit.
P
Yet
we
have
wasted
time
since
then,
and
done
so
little
that
we
are
on
track
for
a
four
degrees
rise
in
global
temperature,
with
all
that
implies
for
our
current
way
of
life.
We
have
serious
concerns,
not
just
that
we
will
lose
species
that
we
will
trash,
that
we
treasure,
but
we
will
also.
We
will
lose
so
many
species
that
the
food
web
itself
will
collapse
and
we
will
be
unable
to
sustain
agricultural
production.
So
if
the
science
was
clear
in
1992,
why
didn't
we
act?
Then?
P
We
know
the
answer:
business
as
usual,
put
in
place
by
huge
resistance
denied
the
science
and
Confused
the
public.
Now
the
issue
is
taking
more
seriously
earlier.
This
year
we
joined
with
other
councils
to
declare
a
climate
emergency
and
thanks
to
the
Labour
Parliament
party,
Parliament
did
the
same.
We
have
heard
Greta
Thornburg
saying
what
says:
listen
to
the
arguments
put
forward
by
extinction,
rebellion
and
considered
the
scientific
consensus
expressed
by
the
inter
governmental
science
policy
platform
on
biodiversity.
P
P
With
this
motion,
the
City
Council
offers
not
just
a
statement
of
intent,
but
a
plan
of
action,
one
that
we
believe
will
make
a
difference
to
encourage
others
to
follow
suit.
We
want
to
make
a
difference
in
Cambridge
and
we
want
that
difference
to
inspire
others
around
the
world
to
secure
all
our
futures,
Thank
You.
B
S
You,
madam
mayor
and
and
Thank
You
councillor
Thornborough,
for
bringing
forward
this
motion
today
and
highlighting
the
huge
impact
that
the
declining
biodiversity
is
having
across
the
UK,
as
is
sometimes
the
case.
This
motion
demonstrates
that
we
have
more
in
common
with
each
other
than
things
that
divide
us.
However,
the
amendment
that
I've
provoked
proposed
is
meant
to
draw
attention
to
several
key
issues.
Mindful
of
time,
Olaf
would
endeavor
to
summarise
them
quickly.
S
S
The
council
has
already
detailed
biodiversity
strategy,
but
careful
Thornborough
has
has
already
highlighted
that
in
her
speech
as
the
Lib
Dems
who
introduced
that
that
comprehensive
document
in
2006,
we
welcome
the
current
and
new
labor
administration's
newly
found
enthusiasm
for
green
issues
and
think
it's
only
right
to
also
note
the
excellent
work
the
offices
already
do
on
these
issues.
Thirdly,
it
makes
I
also
make
a
few
clear
suggestions
on
things
that
we
can
also
take
actions
we
can
take.
S
This
really
bless
you
and
builds
into
the
motion,
a
need
for
scrutiny
and
to
develop
a
long-term
financial
plan
that
will
allow
us
to
deliver
these
important
go
goals
over
the
long
term.
Finally,
I've
added
some
suggestions
for
further
actions
that
can
be
taken
this
year.
This
includes
reducing
the
use
of
herbicides
that
can
and
insecticides
on
the
city
council
of
state,
for
the
obvious
reason
of
protection
of
key
pollinators,
adding
the
need
for
not
just
raising
awareness
with
stakeholders
in
the
city,
but,
as
illustrated
by
dr.
S
B
T
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
and
I'd,
also
like
to
thank
councilor
Thornborough
for
a
dressing,
this
hugely
important
issue,
which
will
affect
not
just
the
natural
world,
but
our
agriculture
and
our
livelihoods.
As
she
rightly
said,
the
actions
proposed
are
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
I'd
also
like
to
voice
my
support
for
councilor
deals.
Amendment
particularly
raising
the
need
for
scrutiny,
there's
not
a
lot
of
point
in
the
council
setting
itself
targets
if
it's
not
willing
to
be
held
accountable
to
them.
T
In
addition,
I
think
it
is
crucial
to
underline
the
link
between
the
climate,
emergency
and
the
biodiversity
crisis,
and
this
leads
me
to
my
principal
concern
here,
which
is:
is
there
truly
a
desire
from
councilor
thumbr
as
colleagues
to
support
her
in
this
worthwhile
action,
or
are
they
looking
for
things
that
look
good
on
a
leaflet?
If
we
don't
address
the
climate
emergency
adequately,
we
will
lose
the
battle
on
biodiversity,
even
if
this
motions
acted
on
full,
there's,
no
point
planting
trees
if
we're
asking
them
to
grow
in
a
climate.
T
That
is
four
degrees
too
warm
for
them.
There's
not
a
lot
of
point
in
building
Hedgehog
tunnels.
If
they're
going
to
be
underwater,
we
have
an
administration,
that's
avoiding
action
by
pushing
back
co2
targets
to
2050
and
then
installing
in
new
council
buildings,
heating
systems
that
will
still
be
belching.
Carbon
dioxide
in
2060.
I
E
E
New
buildings
need
to
be
planned
with
biodiversity
objectives
in
mind,
so
the
the
sort
of
hint
in
this
motion
that
we
could
just
do
business
as
usual
without
spending
any
money
just
declaring
a
biodiversity
crisis.
It's
not
good
enough.
I
think
this
council
should
really
start
acting
on
these
really
good
objectives,
rather
than
sitting
on
our
hands.
B
F
You
I
just
like
to
say
that
some
of
the
comments
that
we've
heard
this
morning
perhaps
say
more
about
the
group
opposite
and
they're
describing
themselves
rather
than
us
to
suggest
that
this
council
is
sitting
on
its
hands
is
very
offensive,
particularly
to
all
our
wonderful
staff
and
officers
who
do
an
inordinate
amount
of
work
running
this
city.
This
ever
got
long.
I
support
this
motion.
I
do
not
support
the
amendment.
I
would
suggest
that
some
of
the
things
in
the
amendment
will
be
done
as
standard.
M
M
This
was
a
really
significant
piece
of
work
and
I'd
like
to
see
something
of
the
same
scope
brought
through
scrutiny
later
this
year
to
be
included
in
future
budgets
and
become
a
core
element
of
how
the
council
operates.
In
conjunction
with
our
response
to
the
climate
emergency
declared
at
our
last
meeting
and
central
to
all
of
this
should
be
how
we
show
leadership
on
these
issues.
The
issue
of
glass
of
eight
weed
killer
is
one
that
I've
raised
and
on
which
council
is
already
conducting
limited
trial.
M
So
I'm
surprised
by
its
omission
from
this
motion
finally
I'd
like
to
include
highlight
the
inclusion
of
a
proposed
hedgerows
strategy
in
counselor
deals
amendment.
This
is
an
issue
close
to
the
hearts
of
people
in
Cambridge
and
I'm
certain
to
that
of
those
in
this
chamber
and
I
hope
that
the
council
will
adopt
it
thanks
very
much.
P
So
without
a
doubt,
climate
change
and
biodiversity
are
linked,
but
they
are
also
separate
as
well,
and
it
is
very
important
that
we
have
a
clear
statement
about
biodiversity
and
we
acknowledge
it's
linked
with
climate
change.
So
we
want
to
change
the
way
we
live.
We
want
to
shake
out
our
policies
and
go
forward
as
a
council
to
deliver
what
we
can
on
the
biodiversity
and
that's
why
we
prepared
this
statement.
But
we
are
already
doing
a
lot
of
the
things
we
are
stopping
spraying
herbicides,
where
we
are
deter
where
we
can
determine
policy.
P
That's
already
in
place.
We
are
already
planting
over
500
trees
a
year
in
Cambridge
and
we
are
working.
Our
officers
are
working
hard
and
we
have
got
grants
to
plant
10,000
trees
and
we
we
will
be
working
with
the
councils
around
Cambridge
going
forward,
because
this
is
not.
This
is
not
something
that
we
can
do
in
isolation,
as
I've
said.
P
I
I
B
N
Thank
you,
madam.
My
motion
is
predominantly
based
on
the
principles
of
equality
of
highest
standard
for
all
sections
of
the
society,
not
an
equality
of
minimal
needs
of
the
society.
Madam,
in
mm,
the
labor
led
government
decided
to
improve
quality
of
health
care
in
this
country
and
invited
known
EU
nations
to
work
in
this
country.
N
N
There
are
four
modules
in
this
test.
Speaking
writing,
listening
and
really
and
nancy
requires
a
seventy
eight
percentage
marks
of
all
three
individual
modules.
When
these
nurses
came
to
this
country
to
undertake
profit
professional
work
after
qualifying
the
required
medical
qualification,
they
have
come
here
to
work
and
they
did
work
a
considerable
amount
of
time.
I
say
somewhere
about
four
to
fifteen
years.
They
have
worked
in
and
in
in
our
health
care
system.
It
could
be
in
national
health
hospital
or
a
private
health
care
provider,
but
despite
they
have
been
working
in
this
country.
N
Training
get
trained
from
desk
our
system
in
this
country,
working
with
professionals,
communicating
with
doctors,
communicating
with
other
staffs,
milem
ambulance,
crew,
relatives
and
patients.
Yet
they
have
been
drastic
to
practice
the
profession
as
a
because
they
cannot
achieve
this
individual
seven
point
in
individual
score
of
seven
point
for
every
modules.
N
N
We
have
estimated
around
8,000
professionally
qualified
nurses,
with
in
working
with
our
energies
or
our
private
practice,
playing
with
the
system
looking
after
our
sick
and
elderly
people
contributing
to
your
system
communicating
effectively
with
with
with
our
professionals,
but
there
are
four
to
fifteen.
Attempts
have
been
made
to
pass
this
highly
discriminatory
regime
of
this
exam.
They
have
failed,
but
how
on
earth,
where
on
earth?
When
you
work
in
this
National
Health
Hospital
for
fifteen
years
without
any
complaint,
the
regulator
come
and
said
to
them.
N
Malaya,
it
should
be
looked.
My
emotion
should
be
looked
at
in
conjunction
with
the
recent
concerns
by
medical
professionals,
BBC
reported
on
September
2018
and
not
just
vacancies
and
national
emergency.
This
Hobson,
the
head
of
manages
provider.
They
were
most
worried
about
the
vacancies,
a
11.8%,
a
definite
nations,
both
were
northfield
a
shortage
of
somewhere
around
42,000
nurses
and
that's
just
improvement.
N
L
Madam
mayor
could
I
declare
an
interest,
please
I'm
sorry
I
wasn't
able
to
at
the
beginning.
We've
moved
on
too
quickly,
but
I
will
have
to
abstain
on
this
motion
because
I
work
for
Cambridge
Assessment
who
design
and
administer
the
IELTS
tests.
That
would
not
be
appropriate
for
me
to
take
part
or
vote.
B
B
B
U
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Firstly,
I
would
like
to
thank
all
the
nurses
who
chose
to
come
to
the
UK
and
work
extremely
hard
contributing
to
our
society
and
our
wonderful
NHS.
This
is
an
issue
of
equal
work
for
equal
pay.
When
these
nurses
have
come
over
to
us
and
are
working
for
us,
sick
and
elderly
people,
can
we
see
this
appalling
inequality
more
often
than
not,
these
nurses
have
families
who
rely
on
them
being
the
breadwinner.
Therefore,
you
can
see
the
detrimental
impact
this
can
have
on
their
quality
of
life,
all
of
their
families.
U
G
Support
this
motion
and
through
my
work
as
the
governor
of
Adam
Burks
for
the
city,
anok
opted
member
of
the
Health
Committee
I,
know
all
too
well
that
we
have
a
severe
lack
of
nurses
and
indeed
doctors.
Now
we
have
yet.
We
have
trained,
experienced
medical
staff
working
in
our
hospitals
already
some
for
many
many
years,
but
are
unable
to
work
as
fully
qualified
nurses,
but
as
health
care
assistants
unable
to
earn
the
slightly
higher
wages
of
nurses
and
unable
to
gain
access
to
further
their
career.
G
We
are
asking
for
more
medical
professionals
to
come
here
to
work
in
the
UK
to
fill
our
staffing
gaps
in
the
NHS.
Yet
we
already
have
the
qualified
and
experienced
staff
working
in
our
hospitals
and
we
need
to
support
them
to
be
able
to
pass
their
English
proficiency
score,
as
we
should
have
been
doing
from
the
beginning.
Really
he
further
more
about
our
GCSE
Park,
which,
in
order
to
gain
access
to
the
nursing
degree,
you
have
to
have
an
English
GCSE
of
at
least
a
grade
C,
which
I
think
is
a
six.
G
B
D
D
If
they
are
born
here
to
people
who
actually
move
here
to
work,
and
so
I
just
want
to
put
on
place
put
in
the
public
domain,
my
personal
support
for
Baidu
Bay
juice
motion,
because
we
do
have
to
correct
what
is
discrimination
and
there
is
within
lots
of
professional
institutions
and
I
would
say
it
was
it
was.
It
was
sometimes
it
did
occur
in
the
trade
union
movement
in
the
past.
D
It's
definitely
occurs
in
a
lot
of
employment
places
where
there
is
significant
bias,
depending
on
where
you
were
born
and
the
color
of
your
skin,
and
we
have
to
remove
both
visible
and
hidden
bias,
and
there
is
a
bias
here
to
be
addressed,
and
this
council
has
a
voice
and
it
should
be
used.
Thank
you.
V
N
When
you
look
at
the
the
nexus
sorted
in
this
country,
even
recently
in
Cambridge
University
Hospital
alone
somewhere
about
ninety,
two
nurses
have
come
from
nor
new
states.
I
believe
it
is
a
huge
waste
of
national
money,
because
when
you
have
almost
8,000
Plus
nurses,
who
have
trained
and
they've
been
practicing,
we
without
considering
them
simply
cutting
a
flight
to
India
Philippines,
a
simple
waste
of
money
and
the
people
who
are
here
what
did
were
a
human
by
the
weight
of
human
resources
and
and
yet
III,
don't
want,
say
much
important.
N
I
just
want
to
give
you
one
clarity,
certificate.
Someone
who
attended
this
exam
last
month
send
me
this
certificate.
Last
night
for
listening,
she's
caught
nine
out
of
nine
and
reading
this
woman
scored.
Seven
point:
five.
Sorry,
eight
point:
five
out
of
nine
and
speaking
six
point
five
and
writing
seven
point
five.
Yet
she
cannot
practice
as
a
nurse
in
this
country.
I
I
request
all
members
of
this
council
to
approve
my
motion.
Thank
you.
I
B
Okay
agenda

three
written
questions:
please
note
that
the
written
questions
and
answers
are
contained
within
the
information
pack,
which

been
circulated
around
the
chamber
and
published
on

web.
I'll
now
close,
the
meeting
the
extra
room

will
start
at
11:00,

please

back
here

have
I'll
see
you
soon.
Thank
you.
B
W
Nigel
use
his
time
as
mayor
with
great
effect,
but
the
reason
that
the
church
was
full
on
Monday
was
such
a
wide
range
of
people
was
not
just
because
he
was
a
great
mayor
is
because
he
enjoyed
people
champion
the
underdog
and
was
willing
to
have
fun
and
include
anyone
he
could
in
the
enjoyments
of
life.
He
didn't
wait
to
be
mayor
to
make
a
difference.
That's
what
he
always
sought
to
do
now.
I
have
learned
that
Nigel
isn't
alone.
In
wanting
to
make
a
difference.
W
I
know,
through
conversations
I've
had
review
here
in
the
Guildhall
on
my
doorstep
out
in
the
marketplace
that
you
two
have
a
real
desire
to
make
this
city
a
better
place
for
all.
I
am
thankful
for
all
that
you
do
for
all
of
you
who
sit
in
this
chamber
in
whatever
role
and
that
you're
willing
to
serve
in
the
way
that
you
do
so
in
my
last
time
as
the
mayor's
chaplain
I
would
like
to
encourage
you
to
keep
on
making
a
difference
in
the
words
of
Adrienne
sermon
on
the
memorial
service
on
Monday.
W
I
would
like
to
encourage
you
to
keep
on
building
those
bridges,
build
bridges
between
the
city
and
the
university
between
those
who
have
and
those
who
have
not
between
innovation
and
diversity
and
tradition,
build
bridges
across
the
chamber
as
we
seek
to
build
the
common
good.
So
this
morning,
I'd
like
to
invite
you
once
again
to
stop
lay
down
with
distractions
of
the
day
and
a
full
agenda
just
for
a
moment
and
pause
pause
using
your
senses
and
your
imagination
and
for
those
who
wish
to
to
pray
in
the
quietness.
W
I
saw
the
holy
city
coming
down
out
of
heaven
from
God
and
I
heard
a
loud
voice
from
the
throne
saying
see
the
home
of
God
is
among
mortals,
he
will
dwell
with
them
and
they
will
be
his
people
and
God
Himself
will
be
with
them.
He
will
wipe
every
tear
from
their
eye,
death
will
be
no
more
mourning
and
crying
and
pain
will
be
more
and
the
first
things
have
passed
away.
May
God
bless
you,
and
may
you
discover
the
bridge
to
him
who
loves
you
and
leads
you
to
life.
B
I
will
now
ask
Council
to
consider
recommendations
by
the
Civic
Affairs
Committee
on
the
13th
of
May
2019
to
appoint
former
councillor
Caroline
Hart
as
an
honorary
councillor,
a
separate
agenda
has
been
sent
out
to
councillors
there.
We
are
short
short
speeches
at
this
point
from
councillor
McPherson
and
councillor
Johnson.
It's
a
councillor.
Mcpherson
can
ask
you
the.
X
Morning,
mats
for
everyone,
you'll
be
filled
and
delighted
to
know
it
will
be
a
very
short
speech.
I
feel
very
tall
standing
up
here
on
this
platform,
but
we
considered
it
was
much
easier
than
removing
the
platform
all
the
time.
So
if
I
topple
over
there
was
someone
catch
me
that
would
be
very
nice.
I
see
that,
unfortunately,
Caroline
is
not
actually
here
with
us
this
morning,
which
is
a
bit
of
a
shame,
she's,
perhaps
not
being
able
to
make
it
due
to
her
work
commitments,
but
just
a
couple
of
words
on
her
behalf.
X
X
She
I'm
going
to
read
the
committee's
offer:
I,
don't
normally
read
stuff
but
I'm
going
to
read
this
this
in
case
I
forget
something
she
was
on:
the
Planning
Committee
and
the
licensing
civic
affairs
and
the
city
center
development
scrutiny
committee,
mostly
for
the
ground,
arcade
I.
Remember
that
quite
well.
She
was
also
an
east
area
committee.
X
In
something
I
didn't
know
who
she
was
they're
right
from
the
start
of
the
area
committees
so
right,
just
as
they
started,
she
was
on
it
and
so
all
the
way
through
her
tenure
here,
but
I
do
remember
her
as
deputy
mayor
in
2011-12
I.
Remember
that
very
well,
because
those
of
you
who
know
Caroline
will
know
that
she's
a
shy
individual-
and
this
was
a
really
big
indicate
undertaking
for
her
to
be
up
here
not
on
this
platform,
quite
as
high
as
this.
X
But
this
is
a
big
undertaking
for
Caroline
and
she
carried
that
off
with
enormous
grace
and
it's
quite
it
was
quite
an
undertaking
for
her
to
stand
up
and
actually
make
speeches
to
people,
and
she
did
that
so
very,
very
well
and
I.
Remember
when
she
came
to
switch
on
the
Christmas
lights
at
the
Cherry
Hinton.
X
Absolutely
everybody
and
she
made
a
really
really
good
speech
to
the
people
of
Cherry
Hinton
and
they
really
felt
that
she
wanted
to
be
there.
It
wasn't
just
another
occasion
to
her
and
I
think
that
she
made
people
feel
that
way
wherever
she
went
and
I
think
she
did
a
really
really
stunning
job
of
being
the
deputy
mayor
and
I
think
that
she
was
well
I
know
she
was
very
pleased
to
be
nominated
as
an
honorary
counselor
I
knew
that
she
would
be,
and
I
know,
she's
very
sorry
not
to
be
here
but
I
know.
X
Y
Y
Making
a
positive
contribution
for
others
is
what
made
her
such
a
natural
as
a
councillor
natural
as
a
councillor,
Carolina's
council
I,
think
saw
herself
as
contributing
more
food.
Deeds
than
just
words.
Caroline
had
readily
admits
readily
admit
that
she
was
far
more
comfortable
following
up
a
bit
of
casework
on
the
number
three
bus.
All
that
Cambridge
United
herself,
husband,
Bruce
and
son
Robert,
are
avid
use
fans
and
were
season
ticket
holders
for
many
many
years
and
making
a
grand
piece
of
oratory
here
in
this
chamber.
Y
She
was
very
proud
to
represent
Abbey
and
I
know.
She
was
extremely
proud,
as
councilperson
alluded
to
earlier,
to
have
been
deputy
mayor
in
the
2011-2012
and
municipal
year.
It
was
a
shame
that
she
didn't
become
Council.
I
saw
him
a
mayor
in
2012
I
made
my
maiden
speech
here
seven
years
ago,
proposing
her
to
be
mayor,
but
I
didn't
make
her
love
us
our
city
or
its
institutions
like
this
council,
only
less
as
she
was
faded
from
several
occasions
through
the
years
and
was
always
keen
to
participate
in
the
big.
Y
B
X
L
L
Thank
you
so
much.
It
is
an
enormous
honor
to
propose
councillor
birch
as
mayor
today.
The
first
time
I
met,
councilor
burb
was
in
back
in
2014
in
her
previous
tenure
as
mayor
I,
don't
know
if
she
remembers,
but
it
was
at
the
opening
of
a
refurbished
room
at
raw
Street,
Community
Center,
and
what
struck
me
was
not
only
her
kindness
to
me
as
a
new
candidate
as
a
new
activist,
but
her
kindness
to
everyone.
L
L
In
fact,
I'd
come
across
Jerry
before
I
didn't
realize
it,
because
she
was
the
person
who
fought
so
hard
to
ensure
that
we
retained
accessible,
good-quality,
toilets,
inline
yard.
I
wasn't
involved
in
politics
at
that
time,
but
I'd
certainly
heard
of
the
campaign
and
was
one
of
the
eleven
thousand
people
who
signed
the
petition
that
Jerry
had
set
up
she's
still
the
same
today
because
of
her
hard
work
with
officers
and
her
tenacity.
We
have
a
neighbor
policy
which
keeps
our
street
more
free
of
clutter.
L
She
fights
harder
every
corner,
she
fights
in
group,
she
fights
with
hope
for
her
residents.
She
fights
in
public
for
important
issues
and
she
fights
personally
too
I,
wasn't
aware
until
I
was
doing
my
work
for
this
speech
that
a
few
years
ago,
Jerry
was
extremely
ill
and
her
family
were
told
that
they
should
expect
the
worst
and
Jerry
battled.
True,
and
here
she
is
today.
L
Now
all
of
us
are
aware
today
that
Jerry
is
already
carrying
out
the
role
of
mayor
in
the
most
tragic
of
circumstances,
and
we
remember
Nigel
our
colleague
our
friend,
our
comrade,
who
the
Morial
service
we
held
on
Monday
today
is
the
day
that
Nigel
would
have
passed
the
baton
to
the
new
mayor
and
I
hope
I'm,
not
speaking
out
of
turn,
to
say
that
I'm
sure
he
would
have
been
delighted
that
we
were
proposing
Jerry.
Today.
L
Last
time
Jerry
was
mayor.
She
attended
521
mayoral
engagements
in
50
weeks,
knowing
her
she's
already
got
a
plan
to
beat
her
own
achievements
this
time
around
and
I
know
that
she
will
work
tirelessly
for
our
city
with
her
characteristic
humor,
kindness
and
passion
for
the
marginalized.
It
is
with
huge
pleasure
that
I
therefore
ask
the
chamber
to
support
our
proposal
that
councilor
Jerry
bird
becomes
mayor
for
the
next
mayoral
year.
J
You
mr.
mayor
I
wholeheartedly.
Second,
the
nomination
as
councilor
bear
bird
for
mayor.
The
mayor
as
the
first
citizen
of
our
city
requires
many
skills
to
perform
their
duties
from
charm,
to
patience,
to
a
sense
of
humor,
to
openness
to
all,
and
also
a
large
amount
of
time
that
they
give
and
I
know
that.
X
B
Well,
thank
you
everybody.
There
are
so
many
people
for
me
to
thank
today.
Those
include
my
colleagues
for
electing
me
as
your
mayor
today,
the
proposer
and
seconder
for
their
kind
words
and
to
the
people
of
East
Chesterton
Ward
for
their
behalf
in
their
belief.
Sorry,
in
me,
over
the
years,
thank
you
to
to
my
family
councillors,
civic
colleagues,
for
the
support
that
you
will
be
from
providing
Allan
and
I
in
our
special
year.
B
Although
the
wonderful
achievements
of
our
processor
will
be
a
tough
act
to
follow,
I,
never
less
pledge
my
energy
and
my
effort
to
achieve
another
successful
year,
supporting
our
civic
office
council
and,
most
importantly,
the
communities
of
Cambridge
I,
was
born
in
on
the
11th
of
November
1955
in
a
Madeline
home
in
Cork
Republic
of
Ireland
at
the
age
of
10
months,
I
contacted
polio
and
admitted
to
hospital
where
I
remained
until
I
was
seven
years
old
upon
leaving
hospital.
It
was
impossible
to
find
my
mum
as
she
had
been
deported
to
England.
B
The
nuns,
however,
managed
to
actually
trace
her
living
in
Cambridge
in
history
mode.
Believe
it
not
so
I
was
brought
over
to
the
city
by
the
nuns.
Unfortunately,
the
reunion
didn't
work
out
and
I
was
taken
to
midfields
children's
home
in
Oh
Curtin
for
fostering
the
Church
of
Our
Lady
in
English
martyrs
on
Hills
Road
Cambridge
issued
a
notice,
a
disabled
child
was
in
need
of
a
home,
and
the
couple
came
forward
to
foster
me.
They
formally
adopted
me
when
I
was
12
years
old.
B
Actually
in
this
building
and
for
the
first
time
I
was
able
to
enter
mainstream
school,
some
beads
bird
to
grow
Cambridge,
where
I
learned
to
read
and
write
so
at
12,
I,
couldn't
read
or
write
so
I
went
to
the
school
and
they
were
really
great.
I
left
school
at
the
age
of
15.
After
three
years,
formal
schooling
and
then
my
life
changed
I,
had
two
wonderful
daughters,
one
who's
here
today,
Amory
and
who
gave
me
eight
beautiful
grandchildren
and
one
beautiful
great-granddaughter
who's.
B
Four
years
old
in
my
adult
life,
I
had
been
a
constant
campaign
of
further
rights
of
disabled
people
in
order
to
bring
change
and
independence.
I
work
for
disability
can
mature
and
have
been
involved
with
a
number
of
organizations
to
give
support
and
advice
to
disabled
people
for
over
thirty
nine
years
and
I
am
the
Cambridge
City
Council
disability
lead,
who
would
have
believed
I
would
become
a
mayor
first
citizen
of
Cambridge
by
Here
I
am,
and
my
determination
has
got
me
here.
B
B
Thank
you
David
for
your
outstanding
work.
Over
the
last
year,
you
have
been
a
great
support
to
me.
The
council,
Nigel
and
Jenny
and
I
wrote
to
the
bishop
to
extend
my
thanks
to
you
for
your
contribution
to
the
council
this
year.
I
would
also
like
to
thank
sergeant
Katie
Ruby
for
committing
so
much
time
and
energy.
Throughout
the
mayoral
year
she
has
been
a
credit
to
the
104
squadron
sergeant.
Katie
Ruby,
as
the
mayor's
cadet
has
undertaken
many
duties
and
we
hope
we
have
found
that
you
found
the
year
fulfilling
well
done.
B
The
king's
hedges
family
support
tries
to
how
help
to
reduce
feeling
of
isolation
and
increase
of
the
sense
of
community
and
offer
a
high-quality,
safe
place
to
play,
relax
and
talk.
The
King,
sages
family
support
project
works
actively
with
Park
Park
partners
and
connects
families
to
them,
ensuring
that
they
have
access
to
revelant
information
and
advice.
I
will
uphold
the
rules
and
procedure
firmly
and
fairly
upholding
our
Constitution
and
will
enthusiastically
in
asking
all
members
in
the
chamber
to
join
me
in
this,
and
so
I
asked
myself.
B
How
will
the
success
of
my
year
as
the
mayor
be
judged?
Certainly
I
hope
that
I
will
be
discharged,
my
commitments
professionally,
whether
it
is
by
chairing
meetings
in
this
chamber
fairly
and
firmly
or
whether
it
is
visiting
and
speaking
at
many
community
events
that
I
will
attend
I
doubtedly
it
out
like
it
will
be
a
success
to
the
pursuit,
pursuit,
I'm,
sorry
I
can't
say
the
word
processor
by
being
an
ambassador
for
this
council
and
all
that
good.
It
does
and
tries
to
do.
B
And
finally,
it
will
be
my
pleasure
and
leverage
to
perform
these
tasks
with
good
humor,
good
grace
and
gratitude.
My
family,
our
civic
office
support
team
and
all
those
who
help
me
to
work
for
the
honor
and
well-being
of
our
town
in
the
important
year
head
to
make
a
beneficial
difference.
Thank
you
very
much.
D
So
so
yes,
it
hasn't
been
an
easy
time
in
terms
of
Nigel's
death
and
it's
right
that
we
establish
a
strong
team
on
the
dais
Russ
and
I've
got
a
bit
of
history
for
us
as
a
little
lesson
of
history.
As
one
of
our
former
colleagues
used
to
say,
Russ
says
that
his
family
was
so
poor
that
he
was
knitted.
D
Russ
is
despite
the
fact
that
he's
living
in
Cambridge
his
parentage
is
half
australian
and
half
Scottish,
so
he's
more
international,
perhaps
than
he
sometimes
infers.
Like
me,
I
was
born
in
Edinburgh.
Ross
lived
in
Edinburgh
and
Russ's
obviously
bears
that
in
his
contributions,
including
championing
the
unique
tartan
that
is
the
Cambridge
tartan
and
also
adding
considerable
grace
and
color
to
events
using
his
skills
as
a
piper
both
of
the
northumbrian
pipes
and
the
Scottish
pipes.
So
Russ
is
an
enthusiastic
musician
has
been
a
huge
contributor
to
this.
D
So
how
I
would
describe
it
is
that
Russ
is
the
third
parent
for
a
lot
of
people
that
go
through
that
place
and
and
in
his
role,
not
just
of
liaison,
but
just
being
there.
He
has
provided
a
huge
support
and
I'm
sure
that
there
are
people
out
in
not
just
in
Cambridge
but
in
Cambridgeshire
that
can
attest
for
that
and
just
but
just
look
at
some
of
the
other
things
that
Ross
contributes.
D
Russ
and
South
Area
Committee
I
know
can
be
a
very
dramatic
place,
but
one
on
one
occasion
when
there
was
a
keenly
contested
planning
application,
a
man
who
was
really
passionate
and
felt
deeply
about
what
was
happening,
ended
up
having
a
heart
attack
during
a
South
area.
Committee
meeting
and
Russ
was
there
to
help
save
his
life
and
got
an
award
from
the
East
Anglian
ambulance.
Trust
for
that
work,
Russ
a
champions
all
aspects
of
the
emergency
services.
He
is
I
think
now,
president
of
st.
D
In
addition
to
chairing
South
area
committee,
the
thing
I
would
single
Russ
out
for,
as
his
contribution
is,
is
passing
through
his
integrity
and
his
principles
into
the
standards
that
we
are
operate
to
III
believe
that
there
should
be
a
stronger
standard
system,
and
there
are
organizations
outside
this
place
that
I've
contributed
and
made
points
about
recently,
where
I
believe
the
standards
that
should
be
expected
of
public
organizations
are
not
being
met.
Were
there
to
be
standards.
D
Issues
in
this
council
I
would
be
confident
that
Russ
is
exactly
the
right
person
to
lead
on
that,
because
it
is
right
that
we
all
of
us
are
expected
to
set
and
achieve
the
highest
probity
and
other
standards
of
integrity.
So
russ
has
added
hugely
in
this
time
to
this
council.
He
has
been
mayor
before
as
jerry
has,
but
we
have
no
hesitation
in
proposing
Russ
as
deputy
mayor
for
the
coming
year,
including
given
this
year
as
mayor
in
2009
and
2010
and
I
know.
D
He
and
Carol
did
a
wonderful
job
then,
and
I
won't
necessarily
call
him
a
dream:
team,
Jerry
and
Ross,
but
I
think
we
are
fortunate
to
have
such
a
powerful
team
to
to
lead
the
council
to
be
the
first
citizens
together
for
the
coming
year
and
also
hopefully
to
keep
this
place
in
order.
So
I
have
no
hesitation
in
nominating
Ross
McPherson
to
be
deputy
mayor
for
the
coming
year.
F
Yes,
there
are
congratulations.
Thank
you.
I
would
like
to
second
the
proposal
for
councillor
Raph's
McPherson
as
deputy
mayor
for
the
coming
council
year.
As
we've
seen
when
Russ
stood
up
to
be
deputy
mayor
in
February
after
the
tragic
and
untimely
death
of
councillor
Nigel
go
throught,
he
will
do
an
admiral
job.
As
deputy
mayor
russ
has
been
a
dedicated
councillor
of
this
council
for
19
years
being
reelected
by
the
people
of
Cherry
Hinton
four
times
giving
much
of
his
time
and
energy
to
the
residents
of
our
city.
F
As
the
security
manager
at
Cambridge,
regional
colleges
has
been
mentioned.
Councillor
McPherson
is
used
to
overseeing
the
safety,
security
and
well-being
of
thousands
of
young
people
from
our
region,
a
role
which
will
no
doubt
put
him
in
good
stead
to
stand
in
for
the
mayor
when
needed
and,
if
necessary,
to
keep
us
all
in
this
cake
chamber
in
check.
In
his
time
as
a
councillor,
russ
has
focused
on
the
running
of
the
council
as
the
lead
councillor
for
standards
and
the
chair
of
civic
affairs
outside
the
council.
F
Russ
is
not
only
a
very
skilled,
first
aider,
but
also
an
avid
musician
own
player
of
the
bagpipes
regularly
representing
this
council
at
the
Remembrance
Day
wreath-laying
service
russ
has
always
been
a
very
friendly,
welcoming
and
perhaps
most
importantly,
calm
counsellor,
as
there
is
not
much
that
will
ruffle
his
feathers,
as
we
have
already
seen
from
this
morning's
meeting.
All
in
all
I
know
that
Russ
will
make
a
wonderful
deputy
mayor
and
I
sincerely
hope
that
all
councillors
in
this
chamber
will
support
us
in
this.
B
B
B
X
After
that,
the
number
of
people
will
be
absolutely
thrilled
and
delighted.
I
have
not
brought
the
pipes
yesterday.
There
will
be
no
tunes
in
here
today.
How
do
I
thought
about
sitting?
It
might
have
been
a
bit
of
fun,
might
knit
but
I'm
not
going
to
say
too
many
words,
because
it's
the
mayor's
day.
So
thank
you
for
all
those
kind
comments.
I
was
beginning
to
wonder
it
was
that
really
mirrors
that
somebody
else.
So.
B
Anyway,
congratulations,
but
you
don't
know
what
you've
let
yourself
in
for
it's
my
debit.
Anyway.
Ok
can
we
go
to
I'd
a
gender
item?
Three
confirmation
of
the
minutes
may
I
have
proved
as
correct
record
of
the
minutes
of
the
meat
of
the
council
held
on
the
21st
of
February
2019.
A
copy
of
the
minutes
can
be
found
in
the
agendas
starting
on
page
five.
B
V
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
mayor,
and
congratulations
on
your
elevation
once
again.
Madam
mayor,
it's
excuse
me
I'll
go
my
voice
is
not
that
great.
At
the
moment.
Some
of
you
may
be
pleased
to
know
it
is
with
a
mixture
of
Pride
and
sadness
that
I
move
this
vote
of
thanks
to
nitrile
Gore
throb
and
Jenny
wood
as
the
outgoing
mayor
and
Mayor
s
the
pride
at
recognizing
the
work
that
they
undertook
in
the
role,
but
sadness
that
Nigel
is
not
here
to
learn
what
others
have
said
about
his
morality,
not
morality.
V
It
was
my
pleasure
and
privilege,
madam
mayor
this
time
last
year
to
propose
councillor
Nigel,
Gore,
throught
friend,
fellow
trades
unionist
and,
of
course,
fellow
kings,
hedges
ward
councillor
as
mayor
of
Cambridge
for
the
municipal
Year
2019
to
20
Nigel,
took
to
the
office
of
mayor
like
a
duck
to
water
and
together
with
Jenny
as
mayor
s,
they
made
a
wonderful
team.
He
chose
his
charities,
the
Alzheimer
Society
and
the
red
pen
project
and
did
everything
he
could
to
raise
awareness
of
both.
V
He
was
not
a
pet
afraid
to
push
the
boundaries
as
mayor
and
I.
Think
one
classic
example
was
the
bikers
ride
to
Addenbrooke's
Hospital
to
distribute
gifts
to
sick
children
in
hospital
over
Christmas.
Now
Nigel
was
not
the
first
mayor
to
go
on
the
ride,
madam
mayor,
but
such
was
his
desire
to
raise
awareness
of
it.
He
decided
to
lead
it
on
his
beloved
Harley
Davidson,
dressed
as
Santa
Claus,
complete
with
the
mayor
of
chains
now
I
know
from
conversations
with
Nigel
afterwards,
just
how
much
he
loved
that
ride.
V
V
Next
came
the
children's
Christmas
party
when
once
again
dressed
as
Santa
Claus
with
the
Merrill
chain
peeking
out
behind
the
long
white
beard,
he
was
immediately
putting
everyone
at
ease
and
talking
with
the
children
and
parents
before
handing
out
Christmas
gifts
to
the
exciting
I
excited
youngsters.
Now
the
final
event
was
attending
one
of
their
regular
coffee
mornings,
run
by
the
Red
Hen
project
for
families,
where
again,
he
spent
time
speaking
to
the
children
and
their
parents,
and
he
asked
daughter
answered
all
their
questions
about
the
role
of
Mayor
from
McMillan's
coffee
mornings.
V
Where
I
understand
he
attended
more
than
any
mayor
before
him.
That's
not
a
challenge
Jerry
to
the
Chinese
dragon
boat
race,
in
which
his
competitive
side
showed
through
and
a
visiting
of
a
great
many
care
homes
where
he
would
give
lots
of
his
time
to
talk
to
residents
and
to
listen
to
them.
Nigel
ensured
the
officers
my
office
of
Mayor
continued
to
have
a
high
profile
in
the
city.
V
Nigel
was,
first
and
foremost
a
builder
of
bridges,
as
we
heard
at
the
memorial
service
earlier
this
week.
He
loved
this
city
wanted
the
best
for
it
and
its
residents.
He
was
a
wonderful
servant
of
the
city
and
his
residence
and
we
are
all
proud
to
have
served
with
him.
Thank
You
council,
Agora
everything
you
did
in
your
role
as
mayor
of
Cambridge.
We
will
miss
you
and
you'll,
be
a
hard
act
to
follow.
Madam
mayor
I
move
I.
A
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
I've,
spoken
about
Nigel
at
our
last
meeting
and
I
I.
Don't
want
to
risk
devaluing
those
sentiments
by
simply
repeating
them,
but
suffice
it
to
say
now
that
I
am
as
councillor
price,
proud
to.
Second,
this
vote
of
thanks
to
Nigel
and
to
Jenny,
and
to
do
so
with
the
support
of
my
group.
A
Nigel
was
tragically
taken
away
from
us
while
doing
a
splendid
job
as
our
mayor,
and
that
was
before
he
finished
what
I'm
sure
he
could
have
offered
more
to.
He
was
putting
his
all
into
the
role
and
was
adding
his
unique
character
and
color
to
the
meril
tea.
Some
of
that
which
we
saw
those
weeks
ago
at
his
remarkable
and
moving
funeral
and
and
in
bringing
those
to
the
meril
tea,
he
was
clearly
being
supported
by
Jenny.
So
the
thank
you
from
me
to
you.
Both
he's
deeply
felt
from
this
side
of
the
chamber.
B
C
B
B
B
B
D
You
Mara
now
we'll
be
brief.
So
in
the
changes
that
you've
got
here,
we're
creating
two
different
portfolios:
firstly,
a
portfolio
for
planning
and
open
spaces;
and,
secondly,
a
portfolio
for
transport
and
Community
Safety,
and
we're
also
revising
the
environment
portfolio,
including
to
give
it
clear
responsibilities
for
measures
to
change
the
city
in
terms
of
climate
change
and
to
reduce
emissions
both
by
reducing
the
emissions,
but
also
adaptation
measures
that
are
going
to
be
needed
in
introducing
that.
D
In
addition
to
this
shifting
that
responsibility
of
open
spaces
to
the
same
committee,
it
underscores
the
work
mayor
that
we
referenced
in
the
emotion
that
was,
you
agreed
unanimously
earlier
on
today,
that
biodiversity
and
the
natural
environment
is
a
central
part
of
planning
and
that
we
have
to
bridge
the
management
or
open
spaces.
The
future
of
aspects
like
the
River
Cam
and
just
overall
our
view
of
the
city
and
with
the
prospect
of
significant
investment
in
trees
and
various
other
projects.
D
It
has
been
councillor
Thorn,
Birds
mission
to
engage
people.
We
do
need
to
have
the
community
far
more
engaged
in
developing
the
biodiversity
of
this
city,
and
we
can
do
more
ourselves.
I'm
sure
there'll
be
plenty
of
carping
from
those
who
think
that
they
could
do
a
better
job.
But
I
do
think
that
there
are
opportunities,
whether
it's
in
housing
and
whether
it's
in
our
open
spaces,
particularly
in
the
area
which
is
directly
the
county
council's
responsibility
of
the
Verge's
and
just
generally,
the
environment
that
we've
that
we
inherit.
D
So
that
is
the
reason
for
that
focus
and
then,
in
terms
of
transport
and
Community
Safety,
we
do
need
to
give
added
emphasis
to
not
just
transport
but
the
whole
range
of
issues
in
this
city.
We've
got
choices
to
make
about
the
how
we
configure
the
city
center.
We
clearly
have
a
linkage
between
transport
and
the
air
that
we
breathe
in
this
city.
The
work
that
is
being
done
by
outside
organizations
needs
to
have
a
stronger
representation.
So
that's
why
we've
made
that
of
those
changes.
D
Further
changes
are
that
that
there
is
a
responsibility
in
relation
to
tackling
climate
change,
which
we
will
add
further
to
in
the
wording
that
we
will
add
to
the
respective
obligations
of
the
other
executive
councillors
and
then,
finally,
mayor
that
we
are
retaining
two
deputy
leaders.
We
believe
that
that
will
give
us
advantages.
There
is
some
complementary
roles
involved.
So
councillor
Sargent
is
deputy
leader.
D
He
doesn't
have
a
specific
executive
councilor
portfolio,
but
there
is
a
significant
number
of
initiatives
and
work
that
we
will
need
and
I
will
need
assistance
on
and
similarly
councillor
Smith
is
that
retains
the
position
of
deputy
leader
leads
on
communications
and
also
on
engagement
by
the
council,
and
so
we
will
be
following
that
through
this
year.
Thank
you.
Ma'am.
B
B
We
now
move
to
the
special
meeting
of
meetings
of
committees
to
deal
with
the
annual
appointments.
Members
of
the
following
committees
have
been
issued
with
special
meeting
agendas,
which
can
be
found
in
the
information
pack,
civic
affairs,
environment
and
community
planning
and
transport
licensing
and
strategy
and
resources.
B
B
Okay,
so
now
go
to
agenda
item
11
the
annual
statement.
We
turn
to
the
annual
statement
under
council
procedure.
Rule
three
point:
two
point:
one
point:
fourteen
I
call
on
council
Herbert
to
speak
for
no
more
than
ten
minutes
on
the
labor
groups,
priorities
for
action
and
objectives
for
the
fourth
and
cummin
missable
year.
The
labor
group
annual
statement
is
included
on
pages
61
to
74
of
your
agenda
packs
councillor
Herbert,
please
address
the
council
Thank.
D
You
mayor
I
just
want
to
talk
about
our
priorities
for
the
year
and
do
it
relatively
briefly
the
there's
one
typographical
error
which
the
observant
might
have
spotted.
There's
an
error
in
the
title
mayor
where
it
says
five.
In
fact,
we
will
committee
we're
committing
ourselves
to
four
commitments
and
there
was
an
error
in
the
title.
D
So
it's
four
not
five,
although
I'm
sure
we
could
add
one
or
two
during
the
year
in
terms
of
the
four
commitments
that
are
in
front
of
you,
they
really
just
focus
on
the
four
issues
and
that
we
are
targeting
and
we
will
continue
to
target.
We
do
not
sit
on
the
past
record
of
five
years
leading
this
council.
We
sit
on
what
we're
about
to
do
in
the
coming
year
and
the
focal
issues
are
these.
The
first
issue
is
that
we
are.
D
Anymore
is
also
the
income
that
is
needed
just
simply
to
survive.
So
we
hope
that
other
employers
and
we
hope
we'll
follow
the
example
of
people
like
the
University,
including
subsidiary
organizations
linked
to
the
university.
We
don't
see
that
any
organization
that
can
afford
to
should
duck
are
their
responsibility.
D
They
are
effectively
making
their
own
employees
poorer
and
that
isn't
acceptable
in
terms
of
the
second
priority
we
have
and
I
think
despite
councilor
council
at
times.
Carping
and
saying
you're
never
going
to
deliver
the
five
hundred
council
homes.
That
program
thanks
to
an
excellent
team
of
officers
and
the
work
that's
been
put
in
is
on
track.
We
have
purchased
the
chromel
Road
site.
If
people
get
on
the
train,
they
can
see
that
those
buildings
coming
down
and
those
council
homes
will
be
built.
D
D
Homelessness,
similarly,
is
a
major
challenge
in
our
city.
Our
excellent
team
in
the
housing
advice,
section
I,
think
helped
2,000
people
in
a
single
year
with
with
homelessness
advice.
It's
a
mark
that
that
that
we
we
have
this
challenge
and
again
it
is
driven
because
of
the
need,
as
has
been
evidenced
also
in
southern
Cambridge,
that
we
have
to
develop
and
deliver
affordable
housing
in
all
of
the
new
developments
that
occur.
Street
homelessness
is
particularly
visible.
D
There's
an
awful
lot
of
initiatives
that
are
devoted
to
it,
but
we
do
intend
during
this
year
to
review
how
effective
it
is,
because
all
of
the
different
partners
need
to
come
together
and
it
is
of
great
sadness
when
we
hear
reports
that,
for
instance,
the
County
Council
is
cutting
40,000
pounds
from
an
organization
like
Jimmy's
Jimmy's.
The
organization
is
the
frontline
in
this
city,
for
people
I've
got
nowhere
to
go,
and
the
county
council
decides
that
they
can
suddenly
just
say
sorry
40,000
pounds,
a
full-time
member
of
staff.
D
A
whole
lot
of
resources
is
going
to
be
taken
away
from
an
organization
like
that.
So
we
do
need
to
look
at
homelessness
and
as
part
of
that,
rather
than
just
making
what
I've
described
as
virile
in
commitments
to
further
housing,
don't
know
where
don't
know
when
just
say:
oh,
let's
build
another
thousand
homes
or
where's
it
going
to
go.
Well,
we
don't
know
about
that
that
doesn't
matter
all
that
matters
is
we've
got
a
line
for
a
newsletter.
We
have
to
evidence.
Where
are
the
next
hunt
500?
D
Where
are
the
next
thousand
council
homes
going
to
go
in
Cambridge?
After
2022,
clearly,
we've
got
opportunities
in
sites
like
the
northern
North
East
site,
but
we
need
to
do
more
commitment,
3,
which
has
been
discussed
in
part
this
morning,
but
we
need
to
go
further
on.
It
is
exactly
how
we
operate
and
deliver
on
on
climate
change.
D
It's
it's
always
the
opportunity
again
for
for
people
to
say.
Oh,
we
can
do
this
again,
it's
very
easy.
Let's
just
set
23rd
without
any
real
idea
of
how
we're
going
to
get
there.
It's
no.
It's
no
surprise
that
both
South
Cambridgeshire,
which
is
Liberal
Democrat
control
in
the
city,
have
said
that
their
guarantee
is
to
deliver
on
2050,
but
we've
gone
further
than
that
in
our
commitment.
D
Not
because
we
are,
we
yet
have
the
policies
through
the
council
system
for
2030,
but
because
we
do
want
to
have
the
kind
of
partnership
that
we
need
with
young
people
who
are
going
to
inherit
a
planet.
That's
been
badly
damaged
by
my
generation.
I
would
hope
that
many
of
us
in
my
generation
can
evidence
that
we
made
a
difference,
but
we
certainly
haven't
done
enough
of
the
issues
of
air
quality.
D
As
I
looked
at
councillor,
Martinelli
and
I'm
reminded
of
the
people
who
end
up
in
Addenbrooke's
because
of
the
poor
air
quality
that
is
in
this
city,
particularly
in
in
people
who
actually
live
in
lower
cost
housing,
which
is
often
in
in
the
most
polluted
parts
of
cities.
So
the
Cambridge
climate
charter,
a
commitment
to
engage
a
commitment
to
work
through
with
people
who've
got
lots
of
really
clever
and
interesting
ideas
so
that
we
look
at
the
design
of
new
housing.
We
look
at
insulation
of
housing.
We
look
at
the
whole
transport
agenda.
D
D
We
will
work
with
people,
we
will
be
ambitious
and
we
will
ensure
that
we're
in
a
different
place
in
12
months
on
these
issues
than
we
are
now,
partly
because
we
have
focused
so
much
on
our
own
challenges
that
we
now
need
to
evidence.
Not
just
that
but
move
on
outwards.
And
it
was
gratifying
when
we
had
a
discussion-
and
we
had
a
really
effective
discussion
in
here
the
other
evening,
albeit
that
it
took
our
whole
keepers
by
surprise,
because
we
were
expecting
three.
D
Madam
mayor
and
25
turned
up,
but
the
voice
of
their
their
voices
were
all
the
more
powerful
for
that.
What
they
are
actually
seeking
is
a
citizen's
assembly
on
the
broader
geography.
So
they
see
our
role.
They
see
the
role
of
South
Cambridgeshire.
But
if
you
look
at
Cambridgeshire,
you
look
it's
in
inequality.
You
look
at
the
issues
that
relate
to
climate
change.
They
have
to
be
tackled
across
the
whole
geography.
D
So,
for
instance,
we
would
like
to
see
the
mayor
reverse
the
decision
to
abolish
the
post
of
director
of
sustainability,
which
is
a
quite
critical
job
on
that
geography.
So
climate
change
will
be
a
central
priority
and
then
about
protecting
services.
I
can
remember
administration's
in
the
past,
complaining
in
this
chamber
about
a
half
percent
cut
in
their
funding.
D
Well,
we
no
longer
get
any
Corps
grant
and
the
government
is
always
to
be
worried
about
when
it
starts
talking
about
a
fair,
fair
funding,
review
the
people
opposite,
the
members
opposite
may
say:
oh,
we
can
do
far
better
than
you
lot
and
we're
going
to
challenge
you
all
the
way
through
the
year.
Well,
we
could
do
a
lot
better
if
your
MPs
hadn't
voted
for
such
damaging
austerity
year
after
year
after
year,
because
you
set
the
pattern
between
2010
and
2015.
That
is
damaged,
particularly
the
county
council.
We
we
look
upstairs.
D
We
look
up
the
hill
at
the
county
council
and
they
have
their
services,
have
been
savaged,
and
now
what's
happening.
Is
that
the
county
council
actually
wants
to
Nick
our
money,
because
the
government
says
that's
the
only
way
that
you
can
actually
get
any
more
funding.
So
we
will
resist
those
financial
challenges,
but
we
do
have
to
look
at
our
services.
We
do
have
to
review
how
we
do
things.
There
are
huge
opportunities
working
with
our
customers
and
on
I.t,
some
of
which
we
will
have
to
work
collaboratively
on
the
party.
D
B
A
You,
madam
mayor
and
I'd
like
to
quickly
congratulate
you
in
your
reappointment
and
to
congratulate
and
welcome
all
the
new
eight
new
members
from
equally
split
on
both
sides
of
the
of
the
chamber.
We
look
forward
to
getting
to
know
to
those
on
on
your
side
as
we
work
with
you,
we're
pleased
to
return
to
the
council
from
the
elections
with
an
enlarged
presence
which
strengthens
our
role
as
opposition.
Our
agenda.
Consequently,
for
the
year
reflects
our
role
as
Challenger
and
scrutineer
of
the
administration,
which
remains
in
power.
A
Now,
if
words
alone
were
how
you
measured
an
annual
statement,
the
sheer
length
of
Labour's
annual
statement
today
would
be
put
it
right
up
there
with
the
very
best,
but
words
seem
to
have
become
the
only
currency
which
this
administration
is
truly
proficient
in
in
the
real
world
in
the
real
world.
The
labor
group
on
this
council
has
shown
that
he's
is
consistently
caught
on
the
wrong
side
of
every
big
argument
and
behind
every
major
curve
that
is
really
important
to
this
city.
A
We
find
you
unambitious
and
late
to
the
party
on
opportunities
to
really
address
the
city's
housing
shortage,
which
needs
sustainable
sites
to
build
on
long
term
vision
and
leadership
from
this
council
from
our
perspective,
addressing
the
shortage
of
housing
and
the
sellers
and
the
landlords
market
that
it
creates,
ought
to
be
the
focus
of
the
council's
efforts
to
reduce
inequality.
But
what
we've
had
is
a
history
of
foot
dragging
in
relation
to
Anglia
waters.
A
Wait
what
water
treatment
site
and
outright
and
outright
hostility
to
developing
Marshalls
airfield
echoed
last
week
by
a
failure
even
to
welcome
the
company's
response
to
the
council's
call
for
sites
for
the
next
local
plan,
and
on
this
it
looks
like
the
council.
Here
is
a
victim
of
events
rather
than
a
shaper
of
the
city's
future
and
on
brexit
to
revisit
that
just
a
moment,
because
we've
talked
about
this
a
lot
as
a
council.
A
We
find
you
right
up
to
today
sitting
on
every
fence,
throwing
up
every
smoke
screen
splitting
every
hair,
all
to
walk
the
impossible
tightrope
between
straightforwardly.
Speaking
up
for
cambridge
and
defending
your
party
leadership,
which
wants
us
to
leave
the
European
Union
in
the
process,
ultimately
disappointing.
Many
many
people
about
what
your
party
does
with
the
support
they
may
mistakenly
have
given
it
the
words
of
this
administration,
not
only
often
don't
seem
to
drive
results,
but
they
are
also
treated
as
cover
for
actions
that
drive
the
reverse
of
what
they
say.
A
So
excuse
us,
madam
mayor,
for
not
knowing,
despite
the
voluminous
annual
statement
and
the
fine
words,
what
your
leadership
of
this
council
really
consists
of.
What
your
true
instincts
are.
What
you
have
in
your
heart
for
this
city,
it
seems
to
be
really
all
over
the
place.
I
want
to
use
a
particular
current
illustration
of
the
type
of
thing
we
will
be
challenging
this
coming
year,
showing
just
how
unfocused
and
muddled
this
administration
has
become
it's
the
scheme
to
redevelop
the
Park
Street
car
park,
and
it's
just
one
example.
A
A
Precluding
and
specifically
rejecting
along
the
way,
the
suggestion
that
the
redevelopment
should
provide
more
housing
in
a
city
which
is
desperately
short
of
it
same
scheme.
It
purports
to
reflect
a
welcome
future
of
lower
car
use
in
the
city
centre.
Yet
it
provides
squashed
cycle
parking
parking
provision
which
has
simply
to
make
do
with
what's
left
over
after
the
hotel
and
the
car
park
have
taken
their
piece
same
scheme.
It
eliminates
the
existing
public
toilet
provision,
a
basic
council
service
just
cut
out
in
passing.
A
Until
this
might
change,
but
I've
also
been
told
not
to
count
on
it
same
scheme.
It
creates
a
very
attractive,
so-called,
very,
very
attractive,
so-called
public
space,
New
Jordans
yard
bucket
immediately
privatizes
control
over
it
and
denies
the
establishment
of
a
true
public
right-of-way
being
created
same
scheme
and
with
the
proposed
laying
on
of
a
gas
supply.
It
doesn't
look
much
like
an
exemplar
of
a
zero
carbon
building,
which
you
might
have
thought
we
would
be
achieving
after
the
motion
that
this
council
adopted
last
time.
So
how
many
of
its
professed
priorities?
B
Okay,
the
annual
statement
of
the
labor
group
will
be
treated
as
a
motion
for
adoption,
which
has
deemed
to
be
moved
and
seconded.
The
debate
on
the
statement
will
be
followed
by
a
vote
on
the
motion.
Is
there
any
debate
before
we
put
your
hands
up
we're
going
to
have,
if
needs
be
three
from
the
Lib
Dems
three
from
labor
and
councillor
hip
King.
So
is
there
any
debate.
B
Z
Much
and
madam
mayor
and
I
welcome
very
much
the
commitment
of
the
labor
group
to
particularly
inclusive
ashley
and
the
green
initiatives,
which
I
think
is
great.
I
think
we
can
all
share
that,
but
I
am
concerned
as
council
a
bit
cuz
raised
that
there's
perhaps
not
enough
concrete
proposals
here,
as
we
know,
it's
easy
to
put
lots
of
words
on
paper.
It's
what
we
often
do,
but
I
would
like
to
see
more
action.
Z
Obviously
they're
lower
part
of
streetcar
part
redevelopment,
we've
already
seen,
not
only
the
toilets
going,
but
one
of
the
few
accessible
toilets
was
removed
from
the
plans
and
we're
not
entirely
convinced
of
the
carbon
neutrality
of
that
new
development,
which
worries
me,
because
that
should
be
a
priority.
According
to
the
statement,
you've
put
out.
Z
I
also
really
welcome
the
commitment
to
increased
housing,
obviously,
but
this
does
need
to
include
affordable
living
spaces
with
a
local
living
rent
and
by
this
I
do
mean
genuinely
affordable,
rather
than
pegged
to
the
very
very
high
prices
and
rents
around
Cambridge
at
the
moment
and
I
would
urge
the
labor
group
to
prevent
aptoide
to
provide
concrete
proposals
on
that.
So
that
how
we
can
push
this
forward
in
our
city,
we
also
should
not
need
to
persuade
developers,
as
mentioned
on
page
nine,
to
meet
sustainability
standards.
Z
I
think
we
should
be
insisting
on
it,
and
the
ruling
group
can
do
this
and
I
know
residents
that
I
was
speaking
to
last
night
in
market
Ward
were
saying
they're
really
keen
to
push
for
higher
standards.
Finally,
I
do
want
Cambridge
to
aim
higher
the
minimum
standards
in
all
areas.
We
should
be
a
leader
in
the
UK
on
green
carbon
neutral
design,
and
we
also
need
to
ensure
that
we
protect
the
interest
of
our
community,
particularly
those
with
additional
needs
and
accessibility
needs.
We
should
look
at
incentivizing,
electric
and
hybrid
vehicles.
Z
P
We
will
be
promoting
gardens
with
our
cities
and
the
sheds
and
because
of
the
shared
services.
Also
in
the
villages,
extensions
and
the
new
towns.
We
will
be
addressing
climate
change
by
the
improvement
in
the
quality,
design
and
sustainability
of
new
buildings
and
sites
going
forward.
We
will
utilize
and
we
will
use
we.
We
will
consider
the
utilization
of
innovation
and
modern
methods
of
construction
going
forward
with
the
best
use
of
digital
networks
and
computer
assisted
design.
P
We
will
consider
how
training
and
support
can
better
provided
for
our
planners
to
develop
their
skills,
to
enable
them
to
be
a
catalyst
for
visionary
local
planning
and
to
ensure
we
retain
and
encourage
our
employees.
For
this
authority
we
will
competi
the
housing
and
construction
set
sector,
particularly
small
buildings,
and
how
this
can
play
a
part
to
deliver
the
new
houses
in
infrastructure
to
a
greater
diversity
in
this
section.
Thank
you.
Y
Thank
you,
madam
Erin.
Congratulations
on
your
elevation
back
onto
the
dice
I
just
want
to
speak
briefly
on
one
or
two
areas
relating
to
my
portfolio
that
wasn't
touched
upon
by
counsel
Herbert
in
his
main
speech,
specifically
the
issue
of
the
private
rental
sector,
because
we
know
that
not
everyone
can
or
wishes
to
rent
socially,
and
we
will
redouble
our
efforts
over
the
next
year
and
beyond.
To
do
what
we
can
to
ensure
that
tenants
who
rent
privately
get
a
fair
deal
in
the
rent,
private
rental
sector,
and
because
we
will
work
with
partnership.
Y
We
we
have
been
working
Pacha
been.
We
will
continue
to
work
in
partnership
with
neighboring
councils
developers
and
registered
providers
to
to
ensure
that
wherever
development
occurs
within
the
city,
there
will
be
a
range
of
houses
of
all
forms
of
tenure,
of
all
kinds
of
affordability,
including
the
intermediate
rental
levels,
which
there
is
a
dearth
of
within
our
city
and
in
addition,
we
will
consult
on
expanding
property
licensing
to
cover
more
privately
rented
homes
in
the
city,
so
that
the
most
is
a
small
minority.
B
J
I
must
say,
madam
mayor,
if
that's
what
all
the
Executive
Council
for
housing
can
come
up
with
in
terms
of
housing
for
the
next
12
months.
It's
a
real
shame:
housing
in
this
city,
housing
in
this
city,
housing
in
this
city,
not
a
mere
housing
in
this
city,
is
one
of
the
critical
issues
that
we
need
to
deliver
on
and
I
have
to
say,
madam
mayor,
what
we
have
from
this
administration
on
housing
is
a
Dogma
now
500
council
homes.
J
Everybody
knows
we
need
as
many
council
homes
as
possible,
but
that's
all
this
administration
is
able
to
talk
about
nothing
beyond
that
bandwidth
of
the
500
council
houses
and
actually,
if
you
look
at
the
delivery
of
the
500
council
houses,
I
was
at
the
symposium
yesterday
with
the
executive,
councilor
and
actually
the
professionals
there.
The
carbon
0
professionals
were
saying
it's
a
shame
that
you're
not
able
to
be
more
ambitious
on
those
500
council
houses.
There
are
two
developments
in
this
city
delivered
by
this
authority
that
meet
that
ambition.
J
M
Others
strongly
believe
that
the
pressure
to
expand,
build
more
homes,
roads
and
schools
risks
permanently
damaging
the
city.
The
uniqueness
and
beauty
that
attract
people
here
in
the
first
place
and
few
had
argued
that
the
infrastructure
needed
to
support
this
growth
has
lagged
behind,
to
the
detriment
of
our
air
quality
and
the
comfort
of
people's
daily
lives.
M
While
there
may
be
a
range
of
employment
available
in
the
city,
many
are
priced
out
of
the
housing
market
and
faced
with
a
difficult
choice,
to
live
further
away
with
few
good
options
rather
than
to
drive
in
to
work.
Each
day,
but
it's
by
no
means
all
doom
and
gloom,
madam
mayor
to
argue
against
abundant
opportunity,
would
be
to
overlook
the
huge
number
of
people
whose
lives
are
likely
to
be
improved.
Those
of
us
in
secure
homes-
oh
it
to
others,
not
to
pull
up
the
drawbridge.
M
We
must
help
people
to
increase
recycling
and
to
reduce
waste,
and
we
must
protect
the
natural
environment
and
its
biodiversity,
because,
ultimately,
we
want
people
to
enjoy
the
experience
of
living
in
this
fantastic
city
as
much
as
we
do
and
pass
it
on
in
good
condition
to
the
next
generation
for
them
to
enjoy.
Thank
you,
madam.
Q
Q
I
think
that's
testament
to
the
fact
that
there's
people
of
the
city
differentiate
between
the
local
Labour
Party
and
the
National
Labor
Party,
and,
thank
goodness
they
do
I
just
want
to
draw
attention
if
I
may
to
one
matter,
which
is
this
section
of
the
leaders
statement
in
which
Cambridge
is
a
place
to
be
enjoyed
is
referred
to.
I
I
think
the
opening
sentence
where
the
council
recognizes
the
importance
of
our
City
Centre
for
our
residents
and
I'd
like
to
stop.
Q
There
can
I
remind
people
that
this
is
a
city
that
people
actually
live
in
the
city
center
is
a
place
of
community
a
place
where
local
residents
like
to
feel
that
they
are
welcome
and
that
they
have
literally
space
to
move
around.
We
have
an
explosion
of
mass
tourism
emphasis
in
this
city,
five
to
eight
million
in
five
years.
It's
incredible!
If
it
goes
on
in
this
trajectory,
there
will
be
13
million
in
the
next
five
years.
Now
we
can't
sustain
this.
Q
We've
really
got
to
do
something
about
it,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
should
be
doing
is
to
make
it
more
inconvenient
to
come
into
the
city
center,
rather
than
making
it
more
convenient
and
I.
Consider
that
all
tourist
buses
should
be
required
to
terminate
at
Park
and
Ride
sites,
and
that
visitors
would
then
be
required
to
enter
the
city
by
the
normal
bus
services.
But
that
is
a
dream,
and
that
is
a
hope.
L
And
could
I
am
congratulate
you
again
on
your
elevation
and
also
correctly
accounts
the
pourer
on
her
maiden
speech.
Welcome
I
just
want
to
speak
a
little
bit
very
briefly
to
our
first
commitment,
which
is
to
tackle
inequality
and
share
prosperity
since
becoming
exec
for
Communities.
I've,
obviously
made
it
my
business
to
look
in
detail
through
what
we're
already
doing,
as
well
as
to
help
plan
for
the
future
and
I'm
so
proud
to
be
part
of
a
council
which
is
doing
so
much
so
many
specific
things.
L
I
pull
out
one
thing:
300,000
pounds
for
the
Citizens
Advice
bureaux,
well
over
a
million
pounds
of
grants
being
given
out
at
a
time
when
we
have
horrific
austerity
and
somehow
we
preserve
that
I'm
so
proud
of
what
we're
doing
and
I
have
to
say.
There
is
concrete
example,
after
concrete
example
and
I'm
very
happy
to
share
the
councillors
report
that
I
hope
right
during
the
local
election
campaign.
L
If
my
colleagues
across
the
chamber
would
like
to
see
some
examples,
cuz
I
think
officers
have
done
an
amazing
job
in
putting
that
vision
into
practice
and
I
really
want
to
thank
them.
We
want
to
keep
pushing
on
it,
though.
Cambridge
is
a
divided
city
on
until
Cambridge
becomes
less
divided,
we
haven't
finished
and
we
have
to
keep
working.
L
There
are
some
fantastic
projects
for
pushing
on
equality
of
access
for
culture
in
helping
to
continue
to
champion
the
living
wage.
The
real
living
wage
to
build
new
community
centers
to
improve
new
ones,
to
work
with
community
groups
to
encourage
will
encourage
volunteering
to
provide
a
financial
inclusion
officer
to
continue
to
support
with
council
tax
reductions.
L
D
Well,
I
was
hoping
to
hear
from
councillors
bit
or
councillor
Cantrell.
Some
positive
suggestions
now
I.
Take
that
fact
that
councillor
Cantrell
did
include
some
references
to
housing,
but
in
addition
to
us
being
at
a
Tale
of
Two
Cities
and
division,
we've
effectively
got
in
the
four
contributions
that
we've
heard
a
tale
of
two
Liberal
Democrat
parties.
D
We
had
positive
and
thoughtful
contributions
from
councillors,
McGirt
II
and
councillor
pora
I'm,
not
holding
them
all
to
be
as
polite
and
unthoughtful
in
the
future,
but
but
but
but
it
was
basically
first
class
degrees
in
denigration
from
councillor
bacon
from
councillor
Cantrell
in.
Are
you
going
to
spend
the
whole
of
this
year
trying
to
damage
the
reputation
of
the
council
trying
to
attack
projects?
Just
taking
your
two
examples?
D
Councillor
big
nothing
about
electric
charging,
nothing
about
shrinking
a
city
centre
car
park
in
half,
nothing
at
all
about
the
10
million
pounds
that
will
be
raised
from
that
project
for
housing.
Nothing
about
the
fact
that
Jordan's
yard
will
be
a
stunning
improvement
to
that
area.
Nothing
from
you
just
attack
negativity.
D
We
will
come
to
that
issue
as
we
will
come
to
the
issues
of
the
detailed
design
of
the
planning
application
and
how
many
applicants
actually
go
out
in
the
way
that
this
council
goes
out
to
your
community
to
everybody
in
the
city
center
and
we
listen.
The
planning
application
is
yet
to
be
submitted
on
Cambridge
northeast.
We
have
the
classic
effect
of
a
deception.
You
had
16,000
undeliverable
homes.
It's
only
this
council
that
assisted
by
and
councillor
Smith's,
rightly
saying
it.
D
We
are
so
fortunate
about
the
delivery
by
officers
that
you
counsel
a
bit
keep
denigrating.
It
was
only
this
council,
our
officers,
assisted
by
being
in
a
combined
Authority
that
achieved
227
million
so
as
councilor
McGirt,
II
and
I'll.
Just
finish
with
one
sentence
rightly
says
before
we
talk
about
major
new
development:
let's
listen
to
the
public,
what
kind
of
Cambridge
they
want
for
the
next
10
and
30
years.
I
I
B
B
Know
and
can
I
say
thank
you
to
you
all
in
the
chamber
as
well.
For
being
you
know,
helping
me
with
the
strict
time
in
this
morning,
specially
we
went
through
it
and
I
was
so
pleased.
Yeah
I
was
so
pleased
how
it
went
so,
thank
you
all
and
for
behaving
as
well.
Anyway,
lunch
is
served
in
the
members
room.
If
you
give
me
a
few
minutes,
I'll
meet
you
in
there
enjoy
lunch.
Everybody
everybody's
invited.
Thank
you.
