A
B
You
mr.
mayor
and
congratulations
on
your
elevation
and
I
spoke
at
some
length
about
former
counselor
Colin
rosensteil
two
meetings
ago
in
our
calendar,
and
it's
very
difficult
for
me
to
find
more
to
say
about
his
record
in
this
chamber
as
a
counselor,
which
was
obviously
the
longest
of
any
elected
councillor
of
this
Authority,
but
also
instrumental
in
trying
to
improve
and
actually
improving
many
things
in
the
city.
B
C
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
also
spoke
in
the
February
meeting
when
we
elected
Colin
as
an
honorary
councillor
of
this
body,
and
it's
with
great
sadness
that
I
have
to
speak
now
about
Colin
in
in
the
in
the
past
tense.
When
we
look
back
at
the
period
of
time
that
Colin
was
on
the
council,
he
served
with
people
on
the
council
who
are
now
only
known
as
street
names.
C
We
spoke
at
the
count.
Colin
I
had
shared
interests.
We
both
knew.
It
was
probably
going
to
be
our
last
conversation,
but
Colin
did
invite
me
back
round
to
his
house
to
discuss
more
boundary
changes
classic
Colin
and
I
had
a
wry
smile
to
myself
at
the
last
full
council
meeting,
which
Colin
attended
when,
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
the
council
debated
council
procedure
rule
thirteen
point.
C
Eight
F
subsection
I,
which
was
classic
Colin
Colin,
knew
how
this
council
was
run,
calling
knew
why
the
council
was
run
the
way
it
was
run
and
he
knew
the
Constitution
backwards.
He
will
be
greatly
missed
on
on
this
authority,
even
after
he
was
elected.
He
was
made
time
to
speak
to
us
and
I'm
proud
to
say
it
was
my
friend
I
offer
my
greatest
sympathy
to
his
family
Thank
You.
A
E
Mr.
mayor,
in
remembering
Colin
I'm
struck
by
five
qualities
that
marked
him
out
first,
his
long
devotion
to
Market
Ward,
the
city,
the
City
Council
and
his
party
over
a
long
life
in
politics
as
a
young
man,
he
took
up
the
mantle
of
local
politician
and
no
matter
what
happened.
Subsequently,
he
died
wearing
the
same
mantle.
E
No
one
worked
harder
for
the
good
of
Cambridge
or
knew
and
understood
it
better
than
he
second
I
shall
remember
him
as
a
meticulous
and
extensive
archivist
of
local
politics.
His
local
election
results
online.
His
statistical
handouts
at
numerous
counts.
His
fund
of
recollections-
and
here
is
a
purely
personal
memory.
E
F
A
Finally,
after
all
members
to
can
be
concise
with
their
contributions
and
show
respect
to
their
fellow
members,
I
will
ring
the
bell
when
you
have
half
a
minute
left
and
then
again,
when
your
time
is
up
I'm,
just
a
lot
of
a
repeat
that
will
repeat
the
any
of
you
clearance
interest.
Okay
item
9:
we
now
turn
to
item
9
of
the
agenda
to
refer
to
the
recommendation
of
executive
executive
councilor
for
streets
and
open
spaces
which
can
be
found
on
page
29
of
the
agenda.
Councillor
Smith
do
is
to
introduce
the
item
I.
G
H
A
H
A
A
I
A
I
You
so
I,
just
I
think
it's
right
that
we're
open
and
clear
about
about
this
in
terms
of
some
of
the
changes.
These
are
relatively
small
changes,
but
it
makes
sense
to
me
that
the
community's
portfolio
includes
community
safety,
whilst
I,
as
the
leader,
do
get
involved
in
significant
cross
portfolio
projects,
particularly
capital
projects.
I
There's
some
detail
that
describes
what
is
being
transferred
clearly
they're,
still
within
the
mixed
relationship
that
we've
got
there
is.
There
are
some
priorities
here.
It's
been
really
good,
working
with
Council
herb
agent
as
our
lead
on
the
police
and
crime
panel,
and
particularly
given
that
also
his
expertise
on
fire.
That's
going
to
be
important
because
the
police
and
crime
panel
is
going
to
have
responsibility
for
fire
unless
challenged.
I
Otherwise,
given
that
the
police
and
crime
Commissioner
is
taking
over
responsibility
for
fire
safety
and
fire
in
this
county
and
in
Peterborough,
so
so
I
will
continue
to
contribute
to
that.
But
I
just
want
to
be
clear
that
that
that
also
then
Falls.
Therefore,
under
that
the
Executive
Council
for
communities
and
the
scrutiny
committee
for
environment
and
communities.
So
those
are
the
changes
that
we're
proposing
to
make
they're,
not
radical,
but
they
continue
to
evolve
the
functions
and
that's
why
I'm
explaining
them.
Thank
you.
Matt.

Those
who
have
been
appointed
members
on
the
committee's
are
entitled
to
vote
when
a
committee
is
dealing
with
its
appointment.
Would
only
the
members
of
that
committee
please
stand
or
raise
their
hand
in
order
to
make
voting
clearer
when
executive
councilors,
who
are
being
asked
to
agree
appointments?
Also,
please
stand
when
requested.
I
will
read
out
the
members
names
on
each
committee
and
would
ask
the
alternate
members
stand
only
stand
and
vote
if
a
member
of
the
committee
is
absent.

Well,
ask
you
the
only
take
part
and
vote
if
a

of
the

is
Advan,
could
the
executive
councilor

strategy
and
external
partnerships
councillor
herbert
an
executive
councilor
for
finance
and
resources?
Councillor
Robertsons,
please
stand.
Does
the
scrutiny
committee
agree
and
note
the
appointments
set
out
on
the
agenda.
A
The
executive
councillors,
Herbert
and
Robertson
agree
the
appointments
out
on
the
agenda.
That
concludes
the
strategy
and
resources
scrutiny
committee.
We
now
turn
to
return
to
the
rest
of
the
business
of
the
council
and
gender
item.
11
return
to
the
annual
statement
under
counsel
under
council
procedure.
A
Rule
3.2.1,
14
I
call
on
councillor
Herbert
to
speak
for
no
more
than
15
minutes
on
the
labor
groups,
priority
for
action
and
objectives
for
the
fall
camp
forthcoming
municipal
year,
the
labor
groups,
annual
statement
is
included
on
pages
49
to
58
of
your
agenda
packs
following
this
I
will
call
on
councilor
pick
for
the
Liberal
Democrat
group
and
counselor
hip
confor,
the
independent
green
group.
The
Liberal
Democrats
annual
statement
is
included
in
the
information
pack
on
pages
31
to
32.
I
Peter
Roberts
really
did
dig
into
rubbish
in
a
big
way
and
the
this
hundreds
of
bins
around
the
city.
That
are
his
tribute
amongst
others.
I
will
comment,
though,
that
is
odd.
Mr.
mayor,
that
all
of
the
solar
energy
powered
bins
ended
up
in
his
own
Ward,
but
perhaps
now
that
he's
no
longer
here,
we
can
redistribute
them
and
councillor
Marjorie
Abbott
on
again
on
equalities
and
also
on
Health
and
Welfare,
and
and
championing
issues
on
mental
health
and
then
on
councillor.
Mary-Louise
Holland
made
a
big
contribution,
including
on
housing.
I
Nick
Avery
certainly
got
into
some
arguments
with
the
colleagues
sitting
in
front
of
me:
there's
an
Austin
on
environment
and
Tim
Moore,
including
on
issues
on
a
range
of
issues,
environmental
and
health.
So
I
just
say
that
in
passing,
I
do
think
in
brief,
mention
that
we
should
have
a
little
place
and
there
are
little
places
on
the
council's
website
where
pass
councilors
and
we'll
all
be
there
one
day
either
voluntarily
or
at
the
whim
of
the
electorate
are
recorded
and
obviously
I
didn't
add
my
thoughts.
I
But
my
thoughts
are
also
with
Colin
rose
and
Steel's
family
because
he
certainly
made
this
place
and
one
of
his
homes
and
made
a
huge
contribution.
So,
in
terms
of
the
team
that
we've
got
I'd
also
like
to
thank
the
executive
councillors
and
committee
chairs
and
all
of
the
council's
that
contribute
to
scrutiny,
because
I
do
think
the
nature
of
the
scrutiny
process
that
we
have
challenges
and
improves
the
policies
and
I
also
pay
tribute
to
Anthony
Jackson
and
the
team
of
staff.
I
I
think
we
are
fortunate
and
it
should
be
recorded
that
we
have
one
of
the
best
teams
of
officers
and
staff
in
the
country
and
they're
well
led
and
they're
highly
motivated
and
we've
got
huge
depth
of
expertise
and
an
energy
from
them.
So
I'd
like
to
thank
all
of
those
so
in
front
of
us,
is
the
annual
statement
from
our
group
visit.
There's
a
there's,
a
bitterness
and
and
and
an
anger
comes
out
in
comments
that
come
back
in
things.
Places
like
the
Liberal
Democrat
manifesto
I.
I
Don't
recommend
it
as
late
night
reading,
particularly
for
the
sensitive
amongst
us,
because
I
don't
think
it
portrays
a
fair
and
adequate
picture
of
what
has
been
achieved.
In
the
last
four
years.
We've
been
in
power
for
four
years
and
I
do
think,
assisted
by
all
of
our
partners
and
particularly
the
work
of
our
officers.
We
have
transformed
a
whole
range
of
aspects
of
delivery
in
this
council.
It's
only
a
halfway
stage.
I
The
next
four
years
will
see
just
as
much
energy,
clearly
quite
a
lot
of
the
programs
that
are
described
in
the
89
commitments.
In
this
annual
statement
and
maybe
touched
on
by
my
colleagues,
they
are
work
in
progress
and
there
is
a
significant
level
of
leadership
which
I'm
very
happy
to
delegate.
So
just
briefly
going
through
some
of
the
strands
that
I
want
to
cover
and
there's
89
commitments
here
on
page
50,
I.
I
Think
at
the
heart
of
an
influence
that
we
can
have
in
a
city
is
that
in
a
city
which
is
an
expensive
place
to
live,
people
deserve,
they
deserve
fair
pay,
they
deserve
decent
jobs
and
they
deserve
affordable
housing.
Affordable
housing,
in
particular,
is
a
challenge,
but
I
do
see
this
role
as
helping
those
not
just
on
fair
pay,
but
those
people
that
aren't
in
jobs
ensuring
that
they
get
the
income
that
they're
entitled
to
we've.
I
Seen
several
councillors
supporting
disputes,
including
the
disputer
of
McDonald's,
we've
all
campaigned
and
supported
the
action
that
people
within
the
university
took
to
achieve
the
Brina
living
wage
there,
and
it
is
pride
that
that
assisted
by
the
steady
increase
in
salaries
and
pay
in
this
council
that
we
were
able,
from
the
first
of
April,
to
pay
ten
pounds
an
hour.
People
in
this
city
deserve
a
decent
income,
and
that
also
applies
to
people
who
have
to
in
different
ways
rely
on
benefits.
I
And
if
you
actually
look
at
the
work
that's
been
put
in
by
the
council
as
a
unified
team
in
a
head,
a
head
of
Universal
Credit
coming
in
in
October.
That's
a
critical
issue
for
this
city
and
we
will
be
funding
a
effectively
a
resident
person
to
be
there
at
the
headquarters
of
the
Department
for
Social
Security
on
Chesterton
Road,
because
I'm
sure
that
there'll
be
lots
of
people
with
issues
and
challenges.
And
we
have
to
give
the
best
possible
advice.
I
We
don't
reserve
special,
separate
advice
for
people
who
are
tenants,
although
they
richly
deserve
that
support.
We
will
have
County
counts,
a
wide
support
and
a
focus,
and
we
will
make
sure
that
if
there
are
issues
that
arise
out
of
universal
credit
and
that
we
intervene
again
on
page
50
without
singling
out
every
item
that
the
intervention,
that
means
that
we
now
provide
child
burials
at
the
cemetery
in
the
crematorium
of
no
charge
that
is
now
being
picked
up
by
the
government.
I
And
it's
not
just
us-
it's
been
picked,
it's
being
allowed
councillor
massey
and
a
number
of
other
people
have
been
championing
this
issue
and
an
Anna
Smith
played
her
part
and
I
pay
tribute
to
one
of
our
Welsh
Labour
MPs,
who
put
a
huge
amount
of
effort
into
this.
We
should
be
making
these
sorts
of
changes
as
a
council,
and
these
are
aspects
that
should
be
picked
up
nationally.
I
Turning
to
the
housing
crisis,
I
do
rely
on
my
colleague,
councillor
price,
so
I
won't
try
and
overlap
too
much,
but
but
it
has
been
the
business
of
this
administration
to
open
up
the
opportunities
with
the
council
homes,
and
my
two
pennyworth
on
this
is
the
money
that
we
got
from.
Government
equates
to
140,000
pound
for
the
home.
We
knew
that
wasn't
going
to
be
all
of
the
funding
that
was
needed.
We
need
to
add
to
that
some
of
our
own
resources
right
to
buy
receipts,
and
we
particularly
need
to
look
at
the
council's
property.
I
So
I
pay
tribute
to
the
work
that
has
already
been
put
in
by
senior
staff
and
we
are
continuing
to
search
and
to
secure
further
sites,
and
that
is
to
reorient
our
property.
Why
should
we
have
assets
that
are
not
being
put
to
full
use,
so
the
redevelopment
of
Mill
Road
is
just
one
step
on
that
journey.
I
Homelessness
is
clearly
a
big
concern
and
we
and
it's
right
that
it's
been
raised
also
by
members
of
the
Opposition.
We've
got
more
work
to
do
on
that,
but
just
to
record
the
2,000
households
that
were
helped
in
the
last
two
years
on
that
and
also
on
empty
homes.
Another
issue
that
the
Liberal
Democrats
have
looked
at
nationally
for
us
to
be
using
all
powers
that
we
have
and
to
be
determined
when
we've
got
the
opportunity
to
double
the
council
taps
and
empty
homes
to
make
full
use
of
that
as
a
lever.
I
I
I
Cambridge
is
one
of
the
few
councils
in
the
whole
of
the
country,
which
is
actually
building
out
housing
faster
than
is
expected
under
its
five-year
housing
land
supply,
and
we
will
be
working
with
South
Cambridge
to
get
those
two
local
plans
adopted
and,
as
this
paper
identifies,
there's
a
range
of
issues
and
I
know
that
there
are
several
councils
in
different
wards
have
got
different
issues.
We've
got
issues
in
roms.
You've
got
if
you
think
we
need
us.
I
We've
got
issues
in
a
range
of
parts
of
the
city,
including
just
because
of
the
pressure
that
house
prices
and
the
value
of
property
puts
on
the
planning
system,
and
we've
still
got
to
that.
We've
still
got
work
to
do
there
in
terms
of
the
wider
environmental
issues.
We,
as
has
been
said,
we're
committed
to
environmental
improvements
in
to
working
on
parking,
the
new
residence
parking
schemes
and
the
further
consultations
that
we'll
be
are
there
to
come
and
I've
come
on
to
transport
on
safer
cities
yeah.
I
We
we
have
some
concerns
about
the
reorganisation
of
the
police
and
we
do
not
want
to
lose
that
close
partnership
that
exists
between
us,
including
at
area
committees.
We
are
significantly
investing
in
CCTV,
because
that
is
part
of
keeping
this
city
safe,
and
we
will
continue
to
work
on
issues
those
led
by
and
Senate
on,
issues
of
domestic
violence
by
Council
of
agent
on
a
number
of
policing
issues
and
completing
our
commitment
to
helping
to
home
Syrian
refugees.
I
It
may
be
possible
with
a
more
enlightened
administration
in
South
Cambridge,
for
them
to
also
assist
in
housing.
Refugees
we'll
be
talking
to
them
about
that.
Amongst
other
issues,
including
issues
about
travelers,
it
is
one
of
the
features
of
this
city.
That's
really
odd
and
is
a
challenge
to
the
councillors
in
East
Chesterton
that
phen
Road
is
an
isolated
community
part
of
South
Cambridgeshire,
yet
no
actual
route
from
from
the
Fen
Road
area
into
the
area
of
the
council
that
they
belong
to
and
I.
Think
that's
one
of
the
issues.
I
I
hope
that
again
that
we
may
be
able
to
make
progress
on
on
transport.
Well,
I
suppose
I
should
make
I
want
to
say
a
few
words
and
maybe
I'm
going
to
push
towards
ten
minutes.
The
the
issues
of
the
combined
authority
transport
is
the
biggest
issue
that
we
need
to
focus
on
with
the
combined
Authority
I.
I
cannot
accept
that
despite
the
fact
that
we've
got
a
range
of
responsibilities
and
we
do
have
as
what
I
described
on
radio
this
morning
as
something
of
a
buggers
muddle
and
I'm.
I
Sorry,
if
that's
a
phrase
that
shouldn't
be
used
yeah,
because
we've
got
transport
powers
that
have
not
been
clarified
as
part
of
the
devolution.
Some
are
left
with
the
County
Council
someone
with
the
Greater
Cambridge
partnership.
The
mayor
has
got
some
we're
determined
to
continue
to
work
across
party
lines
and
with
South
Cambridge
to
deliver
what
we
need
for
the
local
plan
sites.
I
We've
got
local
plan
sites
that
depend
on
the
local
transport
plan
on
the
provision
of
improved
public
transport,
west
of
the
city
to
water,
beach
to
other
settlements
that
are
being
developed
out
of
the
city.
We
need
to
link
up
the
job
sites,
we've
got
Baberaham,
Hingston,
granter,
Park
and
particularly
Addenbrooke's,
and
moves
like
saying
that
we
should
just
suddenly
not
use
parking
rides
are
not
acceptable
and
that's
made
quite
clear
by
the
fact
that
the
voices
of
Addenbrooke's
and
biomedical
campus
are
united.
I
So
so
some
of
these
solutions
need
to
be
developed
in
Greater
Cambridge,
and
we
need
to
retain
that
decision
making
in
Greater
Cambridge,
because
it's
our
communities
that
are
affected
and
it's
it's
democratic-
that
a
lot
of
these
decisions
are
taken
collectively
through
the
structures
that
we've
got
and
the
Greater
chemist.
Partnership,
which
did
have
a
rocky
start,
is
actually
been
delivering
and
a
whole
range
of
other
schemes.
I
Piston
Road,
Milton,
Road,
Chisholm,
Trail,
the
support
of
residents
parking
looking
at
the
city
centre,
working
on
longer-term
project
of
ensuring
that
we
can
incentive
people
to
shift
out
of
cars,
tackling
air
pollution
as
part
of
linking
up
with
the
council's
commitment
to
a
clean
air
strategy
bringing
that
to
the
council.
In
September,
it's
critical
for
Cambridge,
for
the
lives
of
our
residents
and
for
the
sustainability
of
the
growth
that
we
have,
that
we
get
transport
right.
So
we
will
be
working
to
achieve
that
with
the
mayor
and
to
do
that
as
a
joint
activity.
I
This
has
to
be
a
partnership
and
not
just
a
top-down
decision,
albeit
that
his
vision
of
a
cam
Metro
does
leave
us
with
a
really
strong
vision
for
eight
or
ten
years
ahead
as
to
where
we
could
be
going
in
terms
of
high-quality
public
transport
and
in
a
city
where
it's
very
difficult
to
actually
move
around
on
the
surface.
Given
the
amount
of
track
transport
routes
that
we've
got
and
the
limited
space
in
our
historic
core
going
underground
is,
in
my
view,
something
that
has
to
be
investigated
subject
to
funding
it.
I
So
in
my
last
minute,
protecting
our
unique
quality
of
life
is
is
covered
on
pages
56
and
we've
got
a
large
amount
of
projects
there,
including
looking
at
Jesus.
Breen
lied:
oh
the
night
markets,
the
new
community
centers,
the
Market,
Square
and,
and
similarly
we've
got
a
large
number
of
projects
in
terms
of
making
this
council
more
efficient
and,
in
part,
seven
on
a
whole
range
of
work
on
climate
change.
So
I
commend
the
annual
statement
to
the
council.
A
P
B
Vic
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
I
would
like
to
issue
a
hearty
welcome
and
congratulations
as
counselor
counselor.
It
did
to
the
eight
new
members
of
the
council
elected
on
May,
the
3rd
four
of
them
on
either
side
of
the
the
council
and
I'd
also
like
to
echo
his
comments,
thanks
to
the
council's,
who
did
not
continue
after
May
the
third
for
different
reasons,
and
that
applies
to
all
three
sides
of
this
council
now.
Mr.
B
mayor
I'm,
sorry,
if
the
Liberal
Democrat
annual
statement
gave
councillor
Herbert
insomnia
agenda
for
this
year
is
of
a
constructively
critical
opposition,
as
at
key
junctures,
we
will
aim
to
offer
the
council
alternatives,
which
underlie
our
different
approaches.
Firstly,
to
try
and
convince
you,
but
failing
that
to
get
you
to
justify
your
positions
to
see
yourselves
a
little
more
as
others
see
you
now
that
after
four
years,
you're
well
part
of
the
local
establishment
and
to
keep
your
own
promises
out
of
this
I
think
can
only
come
better
local
government.
Mr.
B
mayor,
we
think
this
administration
has
carved
out
and
prized
some
small
measures
because
they
hold
some
symbolism
to
them,
but
are
missing
the
big
picture.
People
are
looking
to
this
council
to
provide
leadership
on
that
big
picture,
as
the
recent
ph
allenge
told
us
all.
If
that
was
what
people
were
expecting
they're
left
wanting,
the
cupboard
is
bare
of
vision.
There
is
none
to
the
serious
housing
shortage
in
the
city,
which
is
driving
hot
sky-high
prices
and
rents.
B
The
administration
talks
a
lots
and
lots
and
lots
about
500
new
council
homes,
although
this
is
a
welcomed
contribution
and
the
crowd
achievement
when
they're
built.
This
is
nowhere
close
to
be
the
solution
to
the
city's
problem.
The
city
needs
to
think
much
more
broadly
than
only
about
those
who
to
qualify
for
council
housing
personally
I'm
looking
forward
to
a
future
where
most
people
who
want
to
want
to
need
to
live
in
the
city
can
find
that
place
much
more
easily
than
today.
B
It's
in
a
mixed
market
of
local
housing
of
various
kinds,
much
of
it
will
be
in
the
private
markets.
It
can
seem
that
labor
only
cares
about
council
housing.
We
are
not
looking
forward
on
this
side
to
a
future
where
everybody
is
forced
to
become
a
client
of
the
council
if
they
want
to
live
in
Cambridge.
B
We
know
that
this
takes
thinking
for
the
longer
term
on
our
side,
because
the
homes
that
are
still
going
up
in
Trumpington
today
near
the
action
and
decision
by
the
Lib
Dem
Council
when
over
10
years
ago,
we
were
disappointed
with
the
fumbled
response
of
this
administration
to
the
prospects
of
comprehensive
redevelopment
at
northern
fringe
East.
First
throwing
in
the
towel
on
it
is
just
too
ambitious,
then
leaving
it
all
to
the
neighboring
councils
to
take
forward
if
they
wanted
to
and
then
jumping
back
on
the
project.
B
When,
if
you'd
started
to
move
through
the
efforts
of
others,
that's
hardly
what
you
would
call
determination
and
we'd
like
to
see
you
working
now
with
marshals
to
bring
forward
their
airfield
site,
helping
to
orchestrate
necessary
support
for
airfield
facilities
elsewhere
with
design
jobs
remaining
in
Cambridge,
just
as
the
company
itself
originally
proposed.
We're
now
witnessing
the
airfield
that
Mildenhall
being
planned
for
housing,
where
there
is
a
much
lower
demand
for
it,
we're
an
airfield
here
in
a
sustainable
city
fringe
site
already
outside
the
Greenbelt,
where
housing
demand
is
enormous,
remains
off
the
agenda.
B
B
We
hear
a
lot
from
the
administration
about
how
residents
parking
schemes
are
going
to
transform
the
city's
congestion
problems.
We
certainly
we
certainly
welcome
residents
but
offer
the
chance
to
consider
having
schemes
where
they
don't
exist
already,
that
we
don't
support
them
being
quite
bad
in
with
inflexible
and
unworkable
rules
or
being
given
no
real
choice
because
of
the
decisions
of
others,
and
we
need
to
note
that
they
don't
happen
without
a
certain
downside
of
Gardens.
B
Getting
dead
back
there
over
time
to
create
private
drives,
reducing
on-road
parking
for
those
residents
left
who
don't
have
gardens
of
their
own
to
the
garden.
Now,
whatever
you
think
of
them,
residents
parking
schemes
are
hardly
the
big
idea
that
it
will
change
the
game
in
our
local
transport
system.
After
three
years
of
a
city
deal
and
predictably
failed
attempts
to
tackle
congestion
in
the
urban
area
through
big
increases
in
Road
capacity
in
places
like
Milton
and
hysts
and
Road
all
road
closures
around
the
city
centre.
B
There
has
still
been
no
concerted,
a
picture
consultation
with
the
public
on
the
pertinent
choices.
Above
all,
how
is
a
really
first-class
public
transport
service
relevant
and
accessible
to
all
to
all
going
to
be
afforded,
and
how
are
we
going
to
permanently
reduce
private
car
usage?
In
the
city,
without
making
everyone's
life
a
misery,
there
are
important
options
here
that
they
have
so
far
been
suppressed.
B
Collective
heads
have
been
in
the
sand
on
these
overwhelmingly
key
questions
and
we
rent
them
out
it's
time
to
make
progress
without
sacred
cows
and
without
taboos.
The
lens
suffering
public
deserves
for
their
political
leadership
to
square
with
them
at
last,
and
the
noble
labor
annual
statement
remains
silent
on
this.
B
We
too
would
like
to
encourage
the
cam
Metro,
as
it
goes
forward
to
closer
and
closer
evaluation,
but
as
currently
envisage
it
won't
meet
all
of
the
needs
of
people
living
in
the
city
and
we're
likely
so
still
need
a
much
transformed
best
service,
we're
supportive
of
a
clean
air
zone
in
the
city
by
encouraging
substitution
for
clean
for
dirty
vehicles.
It
forms
part
of
a
strategy
to
reduce
environmental
damage
from
the
kinds
of
traffic.
We
will
be
needing
come
come
what
may
buses
the
commercial
deliveries
for
private
cars?
B
We
think
it
may
be
better
and
simpler
to
achieve
through
overall
demand
management
policies,
which
we
know
we
need
anyway,
to
deal
with
congestion
and
are
fairer
between
families
who
afford
who
can
afford
frequently
to
upgrade
their
cars
and
those
who
can't
on
basic
council
services,
many
of
them
touching
uncleanliness.
We
think
the
council
should
be
much
more
focused
on
outcomes
than
inputs
just
because
cancer
officers
are
working
very
hard.
B
It
doesn't
necessarily
mean
that
public
expectations
are
being
met,
though,
that
people
are
blaming
offices
if
they
say
they
aren't
they're,
probably
blaming
you
who
set
the
priorities
and
allocate
the
funding.
These
services
are
seen
as
the
council's
obligations
to
thorough
residents,
not
just
a
carefully
targeted
view.
B
We
don't
think
that
they're
going
well
at
all
know
that
they
are
your
true
priority.
Last
year's
bins
chaos,
the
councils
year-on-year
increase
in
complaints,
public
loos,
getting
so
shameful.
They
had
to
be
taken
out
of
use,
unspent
funds
provided
to
maintain
deteriorating
common
and
communal
areas
between
council
homes,
wonderful
black
cloth
to
bring
forward
your
timely
initiative
to
actually
reduce
funding
to
your
streets
and
open
spaces
service.
B
B
So
here
is
an
important
corrective.
The
City
Council
is
in
the
fortunate
position
and
being
a
comparatively
wealthy
council.
This
this
City
Council,
is
in
the
fortunate
position
of
been
comparatively
wealthy.
Of
course,
there
are
limits
to
this
and
there
was
a
zillion
things.
We
would
want
the
government
to
do
differently
for
us,
but
we
over
here
are
fed
up
with
this
administration
Heidi
its
own
decisions
and
its
own
priorities
behind
the
assertions
of
penury
trying
to
hoodwink
people
into
acquiescing
in
that
is
unacceptable.
B
We
will
certainly
join
with
you
in
defense
of
this
city
whenever
that
is
in
question.
But
meantime
this
council
does
have
choices
and,
unlike
many
others,
it
needs
to
be
accountable
in
how
what
it
makes
of
them.
Now.
Mr.
mayor
I
thought
the
Brazil
is
a
consensus
across
this
chamber
that
we
would
do
between
us
what
we
could
to
keep
this
city
inclusive,
especially
of
people
suffering
disadvantaged
for
no
fault
of
their
own.
B
We
have
been
aghast
at
the
new
charges
for
shock
mobility,
taking
Cambridge
from
a
completely
free
service
for
the
disabled
and
less
noble,
not
less
noble
elderly
people,
one
of
the
most
expensive
in
the
country.
The
analysis
was
flawed.
The
consultation
was
negligible
in
any
way
ignored
and
those
excluded
will
be
those
suffering,
the
double
disadvantage
of
immobility
and
low
income.
It
makes
a
mockery
to
proudly
dedicate
one
and
a
half
million
pounds
to
anti-poverty
measures
and
then
preside
over
this.
B
We
obtained
about
it
as
several
times
here,
and
we
just
don't
understand
how
you
don't
get
this.
We
are
therefore
announcing
today
the
start
of
a
public
petition
to
ask
you
to
do
what
you
have
so
far
refused
to
do
to
withdraw
and
rethink
these
exorbitant
charges.
This
is
a
continuing
stain
on
this
councils,
reputation
which
we're
going
to
fight
to
remove.
B
B
He's
been
he's
been
marooned
as
the
only
non
conservative
leader
on
the
board
of
the
new
combined
authority
doing
what
we
can
to
help
after
May
the
thirties.
Now
one
of
two,
but
it's
clear
to
me,
as
it
must
be
clear
to
him,
that
we
in
Cambridge
are
becoming
the
prisoners
of
an
elected
mayor
with
a
tame
Tory
majority,
who
has
all
the
loyalty
to
evidence-based
policymaking,
very
interest
in
partnership
working
all
the
awareness
of
a
diverse
area
he's
supposed
to
be
serving
our
team
pop
Donald
Trump.
B
This
is
no
normal
environment
of
rational
give-and-take.
This
is
an
environment
of
taken
and
take
what
started
as
a
project
to
develop
powers
and
resources
from
Whitehall
and
Westminster
seems
to
become
a
project
to
gobble
up
and
centralize
powers
and
resources
that
already
existed
within
our
own
area.
B
What
we
need
from
councillor
Herbert
in
this
situation
is
the
courage
to
use
all
the
leverage
at
this
cancels
disposal
to
arrest
this
trend
and
rebalance
the
way
this
is
going
if
he
does
so
as
he
should.
In
order
to
try
and
honor
the
devolution
deal
he
recommended
to
this
council,
he
will
certainly
get
the
support
from
our
side.
A
E
Q
E
Me
first
of
all
pay
tribute
to
Mary
Louise
Holland,
who
is
no
longer
a
member
of
this
group
I
thank
her
for
her
loyal
support
and
her
frequent
promptings.
I
would
like
to
make
it
clear
that
there
are
only
two
members
of
this
group.
A
third
member
who
calls
himself
an
independent
is
not
a
member
of
this
group
and
has
no
place
in
this
group.
E
He
calls
himself
an
independent
I'm
saying
that
he
is
no
member
of
the
independent
group.
I
hope.
You'll.
Add
this
to
my
five
minutes.
We
also
welcome
councillor
Payne's
election
in
Castle.
I
shall
be
happy
to
work
alongside
her
as
I
do
at
the
moment,
with
Valerie
and
I
shall
hope
that
this
ward
with
three
different
complexions
of
group
in
it
will
be
an
example
to
the
city
of
how
inter-party
working
can
work.
Councillor
Gillespie
D
is
calling,
as
a
member
of
our
group
or
an
ambitious
sustainable
Food.
E
E
Biodiversity,
the
label
calls
for
such
plans
are
on
all
larger
development
sites
and
the
Lib
Dems
call
for
the
opening
of
the
community
of
small
woodland
areas
in
the
council's
ownership.
So
some
acknowledgement
of
the
need
for
better
biodiversity
is
acknowledged
in
those
statements
and
council.
Gillespie
is
also
calling
for
a
review
of
public
our
policy
with
a
greater
community
input.
Now
I
thought
I
have
15
minutes
so
I'm
going
to
have
to
sports.
Through
this
we
need
a
different
outlook
on
tourism.
Let's
make
an
analogy
with
rain.
There
are
distinct
benefits
in
having
rainfall.
E
Moderate
rainfall,
but
frequent
downpours
are
a
curse.
They
destroy
crops,
they
flood
homes
and
they
make
normal
life
near
impossible.
This
is
the
stage
we
have
reached
with
regard
to
tourism
in
this
city.
The
growing
number
now
standing
at
close
on
8
million
annually
of
mainly
day
visitors,
mainly
in
the
summer,
mainly
in
the
city
center,
and
mainly
in
about
four
or
five
streets
within
the
city
centre.
E
That
number
will
go
on
multiplying
and
the
so
called
economic
benefits
will
be
overwhelmed
by
the
relentless
footfall
of
the
masses
of
people
who
want
to
casually
visit
this
city.
We
should
not
wait
until
this
situation
becomes
unmanageable
and
we
should
not
be
unduly
influenced
by
the
interests
of
trinket
merchants
and
fast
food
suppliers.
I,
therefore,
support
measures
to
prohibit
co-chief
parking
along
Queens,
Road
I
would
go
further.
I
think
whole
private
coaches
should
be
kept
out
of
the
city
centre
and
that
passengers
made
to
disgorge
a
park
and
right
sites
around
the
city.
E
E
Of
course,
such
measures
would
reduce
tourism
and
put
off
commercial
operators,
but
that
is
what
we
should
now
be
trying
to
achieve
continue.
A
talk
of
welcoming
the
benefits
of
tourism
are
dysfunctional
to
the
welfare
of
this
city,
with
respect
to
congestion
and
air
quality.
I
too,
along
with
council
opinion,
I'm
tired
of
the
platitudes
and
endless
consultations.
There
are
too
many
fanciful
ideas
being
flung
around
at
the
moment
moment,
particularly
with
respect
to
a
metro
system
and
tunneling,
and
things
of
that
sort.
E
The
amount
of
funding
that
this
city
already
has
would
not
be
sufficient
to
upgrade
the
road.
The
a10
between
Cambridge
in
the
city,
so
I
think
we
should
be
talking
and
thinking
about
moderate
improvements
to
to
influence
conject
congestion,
including
citywide
residents,
parking
and
workplace
levies,
I'm
sorry
that
I've
had
to
truncate
my
remarks
but
I've
been
misinformed
about
the
length
of
time
records
been.
A
P
Yes,
thank
you
very
much
mr.
mayor
and
congratulations
on
your
appointment.
I
didn't
get
to
do
that
earlier
and
I
thought
I'd
better,
get
it
hidden
now,
just
touching
on
and
I'm
only
going
to
touch
on
the
housing
element
of
our
statement
because
I'm
provoked
I,
suppose
it
listening
to
some
of
councillor
bits
speak
and
where
he
talks
about,
we
only
care
about
council
housing.
What
we
care
about
other
people
that
are
in
the
great
greatest
need
of
housing,
which
is
why
we
have
that
program
of
building
500
homes.
P
It's
not
going
to
solve
the
housing
crisis
in
the
city
and
in
in
any
way,
but
it's
a
considerable
step
forward.
It
is
the
only
such
deal
that
any
council
has
got
anywhere
else
and
if
we're,
if
you're,
really
really
concerned
about
the
level
of
affordable
and
council
housing
that
can
be
built,
your
ire
should
be
directed
at
government
and
its
government
he's
preventing
authorities
like
us
using
our
own
resources.
Borrowing
money
in
order
to
build
more
council
homes
and
I
was
going
to
talk
about
the
empty
homes.
P
We
went
to
work
with
our
statutory
and
voluntary
partners
to
further
reduce
and
I
say
further
reduce
rough
sleeping
and
in
our
city,
because
we
have
had
some
success
on
that
in
the
last
year.
We
want
to
continue
to
promote
and
expand
Cambridge
Street
Aid,
the
charity
that
has
already
raised
more
than
25
thousand
pounds
that
has
already
helped
people
and
I
did
want
to
get
in
mr.
P
mayor
before
you
ring
the
bell
for
the
second
time,
councillor
big
talks
about
Marshalls
airfield
as
though
it
was
the
in
control
of
the
City
Council
about
whether
whether
we
build
housing
on
that
and
he
should
know
because
they
pinned
their
all
their
hopes
on
getting
Marshalls
airfield,
though
so
know
how
to
building
it
and
nothing
happened
there.
So
if
he
wants
to
look
at
the
reason
why
we
were
the
shortage
of
housing,
he
could
look
at
himself.
R
Just
like
to
ask
about
9:00
at
about
the
homes
about
businesses
that
are
left
empty,
surely
unite
literally
a
furniture
hidden
since
I
coop,
Cherry,
Hinton
Road
and
the
council
offices.
They
have
been
empty
for
a
couple
of
years
now,
I
thought
what
that
we
were
renting
that
out.
So
we
could
get
the
money
back.
We
are
paying
rent
on
their
own
way.
I
mean
mr.
P
A
A
R
But
my
speeches
we're
wasting
money
by
having
this
property
empty
for
two
years.
I
think
it
is
we're
paying
rent
on
this
property
that
should
be
rented
out.
Surely
even
that
and
lower
rent
than
we're
paying
out,
because
that's
money
that
we
could
be
putting
to
Motability,
so
we
wouldn't
have
to
charge
these
people
because
I've
been
checking
up
on
both
ability
and
there's
been
a
great
drop
in
people
using
it.
In
two
days,
ten
people
turned
away
from
the
Grafton
Center.
So
that's
that
is
a
lot
of
money
that
will
loot
losing
as
well.
R
C
Try
and
be
as
consensual
as
possible
in
the
council
chamber
trying
to
try
to
promote
a
consensus
amongst
the
different
parties,
but
when
I
hear
mr.
mayor
opposition
councillors,
talking
about
which
I
feel
I
have
to
stand
up
and
go
and
confront
that
I
sat
on
these
opposition
benches
for
ten
years,
then
the
Liberal
Democrat
group
were
in
control
of
this
council:
fair
housing
policy
in
developing
Marshalls
Airport,
not
just
housing
policy,
not
just
a
form
of
housing.
C
Everything
was
going
together,
marshals,
marshals
airport
for
ten
years
the
Liberal
Democrat
group
tilted
at
windmills
with
that,
because
it
was
never
gonna
happen
now
I
find
take
after
40
years
of
being
in
opposition.
They
are
so
bankrupt
of
new
ideas,
they've
gone
back
to
that
which
they
abandoned
for
years
ago
and
bringing
it
back
to
the
table
here
back
to
the
table.
Now
no
new
ideas,
no
new
policy.
C
Let's
go
back
to
what
failed
ten
years
ago
and
where
we
are
in
this
severe
situation
with
errors
in
employment
now
and
that
we
are
having
to
play
catch-up
in
things.
A
Liberal
Democrats
should
have
done
movement.
Mr.
mayor,
in
the
time,
14
years
when
they
were
in
control
of
the
council-
and
they
did
nothing
Thank
You.
S
Thank
you.
First
of
all,
I
wanted
to
respond
to
councilor
hip
Kings
comments
on
tourism.
I
do
not
share
his
view
that
those
who
visit
this
city
are
a
curse.
Our
city
is
both
beautiful
and
inspirational,
and
I'm
glad
that
people
come
from
across
the
world
to
see
the
places
where
great
intellectual
achievements
have
been
made.
However,
counselor
Lipkin
is
right
that
visitors
are
not
being
well
managed.
S
The
tourist
buses
on
Queens
Road
are
a
major
safety
hazard,
as
the
drop
off
site
is
now
far
too
small
for
the
number
of
coaches
attempting
to
use
it.
The
use
of
this
site
encourages
short-term
visits
for
those
in
very
large
groups,
and
this
that
doesn't
meet
indeed
need
tackling
urgently
I
hope
the
leader
will
assist
in
finding
a
better
way
to
manage
the
visitors,
who
are
very
welcome.
S
I'm
also
really
pleased
to
hear
that
councillor
Herbert
councillor
but
saying
that
he
was
taking
transport
concerns
very
seriously.
I
share
his
view
that
expanding
Park
and
rides
are
crucial
to
preventing
total
gridlock
and
even
worse,
air
pollution
in
this
city
in
the
short
term.
Medium
term
and
I
wish
him
luck
with
his
efforts
in
working
with
the
mayor,
but
he
is
right
that
developing
a
transport
strategy
must
be
a
partnership
and
based
on
evidence
and
not
on
the
views
and
Prejudice
of
one
individual
making.
S
Sure
the
voice
of
this
city
is
heard
at
the
combined
Authority
is
a
crucial
job
and
I
will
support
the
leader
in
his
efforts
to
do
that.
I
am
afraid.
I
am
deeply
worried
by
the
attitude
of
the
mayor
towards
this
city
and
its
future
and
I
feel
we
all
need
to
work
much
more
closely
together
to
tackle
that.
Having
campaigned
hard
against
the
setting
up
of
the
role
of
the
mayor,
I
could
say
that
I
had
predicted
this,
but
that
will
help
no
one.
S
At
this
stage,
I
would
like
to
say
that
I
personally
am
very
keen
to
work
with
those
opposites
to
help
this
city,
to
speak
with
one
strong
and
clear
voice
to
the
mayor
and
the
combined
authority
to
make
sure
that
the
needs
of
this
city
are
listened
to
in
that
forum
and
I
feel
at
the,
and
they
are
absolutely
not
being.
Thank
you.
T
Mayor
and
congratulations
on
your
elevation,
the
community's
port
failure
more
or
less
consists
of
discretionary
activity.
Despite
us
not
being
obliged
to
provide
these
services,
they
are
central
to
what
we
are
about
as
a
council
working
for
the
many,
not
the
few,
tackling
disadvantage
and
poverty
wherever
it
exists
in
showing
no
one,
no
matter
their
background
or
income
can
share,
so
no
insuring
or
no
matter
their
back
when
our
income
can
share
in
the
prosperity
of
a
world-famous
city.
T
I
am
proud
of
the
results
achieved
by
this
council
since
2014,
and
whilst
was
much
more
to
do,
we
can
look
back
at
pride
with
that
record.
First,
we
have
made
progress
in
delivering
our
own
prosperity
agenda.
Since
2014,
we've
invested
1.6
million
pounds
on
projects
that
aims
to
live
upon
our
profits
and
promise
to
make
image
1
Cambridge
of
the
fair
for
all
our
annual
statement.
T
Recommit
suss
to
investing
in
this
area
in
the
last
year
be
revised
and
improved
upon
our
anti-poverty
strategy
to
put
to
place
additional
emphasis
on
improving
the
long
term
outcomes
for
Cambridge
residents,
especially
those
in
insecure
and
low
paid
work.
Second,
we
have
made
strong
progress
in
the
last
four
years
in
respect
of
our
objective
to
support
the
voluntary
community
sector.
We
have
delivered
several
volunteer
for
keen
Cambridge
Community
fairs
of
nearly
900
people
pass
through
the
doors
of
the
guild
hall.
T
The
last
occasion
we
held
it
we
intended
to
deliver
another
event
later
this
year.
We've
also
kept
a
commitment
to
continue
funding
local
innovations
to
the
tune
of
900
thousand
pounds.
A
year.
This
year
we
will
fund
118,
voluntary
and
community
groups,
which
in
turn,
provide
171
services
and
activities
to
support
wonderful
people.
This
agreement
will
be
carried
forward
for
the
next
municipal
year.
Third,
we
have
stuck
to
our
promise
to
continue
our
discretionary
services
for
those
who
need
them.
T
Since
2014
we've
made
no
frontline
cuts
to
our
children
and
young
people
service
are
in
the
process
of
implementing
our
communities.
Suppose
a
community
facility
strategy
in
showing
our
vision
is
fit,
for
the
future
admit,
meets
the
requirements
of
all
our
residents,
an
era
of
growth
and
change.
Fourth,
our
sports
development
service.
This
is
another
service
which
we
have
continued
to
actively
support
since
2014,
and
since
we
took
control
perform
dysfunctions
to
improve
engagement
of
hearts,
which
groups
through
targeted
activity,
working
community
organizations
and
sports
clubs.
T
Indeed,
participation
rates
and
physical
activity
amongst
those
hearts
of
which
groups
are
about
the
national
average.
So
underline
our
continued
commitment
in
this
area.
We
have
just
approved
of
funding
for
another
years
worth
of
work
which
will
provide
subsidized
or
free
swimming
for
children,
young
people,
women
and
those
in
the
ethnic
minorities
on
their
incomes.
T
T
Mapp,
our
commitment
to
arts
and
culture
is
well
known,
and
we
have
made
bold
steps
in
providing
new
opportunities
to
improve
this
city
as
cultural
offer,
whilst
at
the
same
time
securing
the
future
of
important
events
which
bring
Cambridge
together
and
so
to
conclude
in
the
coming
municipal
year.
It's
my
aspiration
and
our
aspiration:
are
the
services
within
the
community's
portfolio
continue
to
make
an
active
contribution
to
this
council?
T
Q
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
mayor,
and
let
me
congratulate
you
on
your
elevation.
That's
great
news:
I
apologize
for
having
to
duck
out
to
start
an
examination
for
250
poor
law
students
who
had
to
take
their
examination
today,
but
part
of
the
examination
was
about
sustainability,
so
maybe
we
have
taught
them
something.
Q
Someone
who's
worked
for
an
organization
called
sustainable
prosperity
in
Canada
for
a
while
I
greatly
welcome
some
of
the
elements
of
the
leading
groups
program,
but
I'd
like
to
echo
what
councilor
big
said
earlier
that
you
know
we
can't
just
have
all
these
beautiful
statements
once
a
year
and
then
a
year
passes
with
no
real
action.
Let
me
give
you
one
example,
and
so
I
hope
the
fact
that
climate
change
and
making
Cambridge,
greener
and
cleaner
doesn't
come
as
an
afterthought.
Q
It
should
be
really
the
center
of
any
strategy
for
sustainable
prosperity
and
not
just
on
the
last
page,
but
be
that,
as
it
may,
I
think
when
I
first
was
elected
to
the
council,
I
was
surprised
how
long
the
discussions
lasted
about
the
silver
street
toilets.
Today
we
learned
that
you
are
planning
to
invest
in
new
toilets.
That
was
already
the
plan
for
the
last
three
years.
So
when
are
those
new
facilities
actually
going
to
be
delivered,
you're
also
sort
of
trying
to
improve
the
emission
reductions
from
the
own
estate
and
property
portfolio?
Q
But,
as
of
today,
I
haven't
seen
any
implementation
of
the
council
resolution
that
was
passed
a
year
and
a
half
ago
where
we
said
we
need
an
assessment
of
the
energy
balance
of
some
of
our
business
portfolio.
So
when
are
some
of
these
actions
that
are
so
crucial
for
climate
change
and
the
sustainability
of
the
city
actually
going
to
be
implemented
and
I'm
happy
to
see?
Finally,
a
date,
a
date
to
be
carbon
neutral
or
zero
by
2050
I
regard
that
as
not
very
ambitious
and
would
urge
the
leading
group
to
maybe
review
their
commitments.
U
Thank
you,
snap
I
hope
we
asking
questions
the
blue
observations,
so
hopefully
the
observations
will
be
in
the
three
minutes.
It
was
interested
in
that
counselor
brick
has
been
in
the
press
to
say
that
juggernaut
has
been
stopped.
We've
got
the
ammunition
when
he
forgot
to
mention
was
animal
evolves,
forecast
in
the
elections,
so
I
leave
it
to
people
to
look
at
how
many
votes
were
counted
this
time
compared
to
last
year.
I
think
you'll
find
it
was
overwhelmingly
in
support
of
labour.
Thank
you
very
much
again.
U
We
talking
about
building
housing
and
brand
for
sites
and
thirteen
years
our
position
had
to
build
housing.
There
are
one
brownfield
site
in
question
which
was
Marshalls,
which
tends
to
be
all
the
other
one.
To
talk
about,
I
wasn't
a
councillor
then,
but
I
went
to
numerous
meetings,
whether
the
bench
came
and
put
plan
a
forward
when
they
were
questioned
on
plan
beef
masters
didn't
meant
to
move
what
we
do
about
housing.
The
answer
always
came
back,
oh
no,
we
don't
need
plan.

are
moving,
twelve
thousand
houses
are
being
built
there
and
that's
why
we've
got
this
chronic
shortage
and
yet
again,
they've
gone
back
to
trying
to
put
the
eggs
in
their
basket
again.
You
talk
about
climate
change
and
transport,
twelve
thousand
homes
under
Marshall
site.
What
would
that
do
for
transport
and
climate
change
as
well,
more
thought
given
to
it.
You
talk
about
housing
again
and
inclusive
for
all.
They
say
well,
council
land
to
private
developers.
U
Emali.
Did
this
tell
you
after
private
developers,
evicted
the
council.
Tenants
are
in
those
houses
as
well,
so
I
know
we
talked
about.
We
want
to
in
a
sense
to
look
after
the
people
are
disabled,
and
this
is
the
opposition.
We
were
going
bed
with
the
tourism
board
through
the
bedroom
tax,
which
affected
millions
of
people
and
they're
talking
about
providing
for
everybody
we're
talking
about
toilets.
This
was
no
position
who
wanted
to
close
down
the
most
accessible
toilet
in
Cambridge.
U
Again
we're
talking
about
bings
and
cleaning.
This
is
the
opposition.
It
did
know
how
many
bins
we
had
in
Cambridge
and
where
they
were
so
again,
we've
had
four
years
four
years
of
trying
to
do
a
lot
of
things
to
clean
up
from
the
up
from
the
party
opposite.
So
hopefully,
in
ten
years
time
or
what
we
listed
will
be
done
and
the
people
of
Cambridge
are
voting
every
year
because
they
believe
in
what
we
are
doing
for
them.
Thank
You,
MA.
F
And
challenge
the
party
opposite,
but
there
seemed
to
be
some
opposite,
who
resent
any
sort
of
challenge,
resulting
in
too
petty
heckling
and
intimidation?
I,
don't
believe
that
we
should
be
living
in
some
sort
of
one-party
state
doing
so,
if
not
to
the
benefit
of
the
residents
of
this
city.
If
any
member
feels
challenged
by
anything
raised
by
any
group
on
either
side
of
this
chamber,
then
that's
time
for
soul-searching.
F
F
I
was
already
going
to
make
now
the
point
I
was
originally
going
to
make
with
one
more
collegiate
and
that
be
to
comment
on
what
the
leader
said
earlier
about
transport,
an
old
urging
you
to
use
his
role
on
the
greater
Commission
partnership
to
try
and
deliver
something,
particularly
now
he's
a
lone
voice.
This
will
help
the
south
of
the
city
we're
seeing
a
big
increase
in
the
number
of
jobs
on
the
biomedical
campus
jobs,
good
jobs,
bring
money,
jobs
also
bring
and
transport
problems.
Unfortunately,
the
greater
chemistry
partnership.
F
It
was
highlighted
in
the
most
recent,
a
meeting
of
South
Area
Committee
and
a
subsequent
response,
which
you
can
look
at
it's
in
the
next
agenda,
for
the
South
Area
committee
have
said
to
highlight
the
fact
that
the
greater
chemistry
partnership
do
not
have
any
plans.
They
will
deliver
sustainable
transport
for
the
south
of
the
city
in
time
for
those
jobs.
F
A
D
L
L
It
seems
to
be
this
petition
going
to
start
you're
gonna
be
about
the
mobility.
Well,
I
think
anyone
likes
to
do
what's
been
done,
but
you
that
the
thing
is
that
it
was
a
County
Council
who
took
away
all
their
funding.
Now
the
County
Council
actually
represents
that
all
the
chamber
we
don't
and
if
you
looked
at
the
people
using
availability
over
seventy
more
percent
are
I'm
not
from
Cambridge.
L
So
in
fact,
then
the
people
can
came
to
paying
for
other
people
to
come
and
use
that
facility,
so
we're
looking
after
probably
probably
they're
near
our
own
residence
money.
We
didn't
like
doing
it.
Sometimes,
as
you
said
in
the
past,
you
do
things
you
don't
like
doing.
I
think
going
back
has
been
said
already:
bedroom
tax,
you
didn't
say
something.
You
said
you
like
doing
that,
but
you
still
done
it
and
when
we
had
emotions
going
here
to
Center,
you
wouldn't
vote
for
us
to
stop
the
bedroom
tax.
L
You
support
it
with
your
Tory
colleagues,
so
so
yeah
you're
going
that
I
think
hypocritical.
Sometimes
you
start
standing
there
telling
us
things,
no
Marshall
say:
well,
that's
been
going
on
for
ages.
We
all
demonstrate
here.
So
you
want
to
build
all
your
hell's
that
has
been
already
said
on
Marshalls.
Some
people
said
to
me.
The
only
reason
you've
done
that
because
he
thought
you
get
all
your
health
is
over,
that
side
of
Cambridge,
so
noonim
area
wouldn't
have
any
to
be
built
on.
L
So
that's
been
said
by
people
even
lived
in
unum,
it's
cuz,
not
everyone
lives
and
knowing
them
as
own
onion
piece.
So
so
I
think
you
just
going
back
in
time
and
your
old
ways
of
saying
things.
As
it's
been
said
already,
you've
said
nothing
here
new.
Today,
let's
go
back
the
old
stuff,
so
I'd
like
to
listen
to
something
new
you've
got
to
say
so,
I
think
what
you've
actually
said,
the
dopes
haven't
heard,
haven't
heard
nothing
today.
What
is
anything
new.
V
H
A
N
V
I
just
clarify
you're,
therefore
going
to
could
tell
the
debate,
even
though
someone
else
may
have
a
contribution
from
either
side
of
the
chamber.
You've
decided
that
they
can't
that
their
contribution
is
not
valid.
Well,
that's
that's.
Certainly
a
departure
from
my
experience
having
been
in
this
chamber
for
a
very
long
period
of
time,
and
also
my
colleagues
I,
don't
think
that's
acceptable.
If
somebody
wants
to
make
a
contribution,
surely
they
have
a
democratic
right
to
do
so
from
all
sides
of
the
chamber.
V
W
A
Just
to
make
it
even
will
have
to
more
and
it's
Council's,
McQueen
and
Martinelli,
and
those
those
are
the
ones
that
are
indicated.
I
have
actually
cut
cut,
one
of
them,
one
of
the
labour
councils
I've
just
to
have
an
even
number
from
both
sides
of
the
chamber.
I
haven't
had
any
more
indications,
I
wanti.
B
X
If
I
could
just
speak
for
a
moment,
the
role
of
the
mayor
in
a
council
meeting
is
to
manage
the
business
of
the
council
and
to
manage
the
debate.
The
Constitution
gives
me
the
mayor,
just
discretion
in
how
he
manages
the
meeting
and
where
how
he
manages
the
debate.
So
if
the
mayor
does
decide,
mr.
debaters
have
been
going
on
for
a
period
of
time
and
that
he
feels
enough
has
been
said
on
the
matter
he
can
make.
X
He
has
the
right
to
decide
he's
going
to
hear
no
more
speakers
if
that's
what
he
wishes
to
decide.
So
so
the
power
in
the
Constitution
is
with
the
mayor
to
run,
to
run
the
meeting
as
he
sees
fit.
What
the
mayor
has
indicated
is
he
felt
that
there
had
been
a
number
of
speakers
and
he
was
trying
to
balance
the
debate
across
the
chamber,
but
ultimately
the
decision
is
with
him
as
to
how
many
speakers
he
hears.
Y
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
congratulations
on
your
upgrade
to
First
Citizen,
welcome
to
all
new
counselors
as
well
I.
Look
forward
to
hearing
your
maiden
speeches
in
GE
course:
I
wouldn't
have
time
to
cover
all
the
good
and
bad
points
that
I
would
like
to
so.
I
focus
mainly
on
one.
Although
the
topic
of
climate
change,
the
topic
of
plastics
has
been
discussed
urgently
now
and
there's
a
big
swell
of
interest
in
plastics.
Y
There
seems
to
be
less
interest
in
climate
change
in
the
public
sphere
at
large
and
a
large
degree
of
denial
as
well
about
the
importance
of
tackling
it.
Maybe,
as
the
plastics
are
more
visible,
you
can
see
the
problem.
It's
clear
what's
wrong,
but
I
think
climate
change
is
just
as
important,
if
not
more
so,
and
it's
important
that
we
act
within
the
fullness
of
our
power
and
the
fullness
of
urgency
to
avoid
the
worst
case
trajectory
to
to
do
whatever
we
can
to
delimit
in.
Y
There
have
been
an
incredible
number
of
successive
months
of
extreme
record-breaking
weather,
and
it's
not
enough
to
say
that
we
will
do
mitigation
because
being
such
a
privileged
city
as
Cambridge's
we
have
to,
we
have
to
avoid
conflicting
climate
change
in
other
countries
as
well,
that
have
less
ability
to
do
mitigation.
So
we
must
take
ambitious
action.
We
certainly
have
a
responsibility
to
protect
the
city,
but
we
have
a
responsibility
to
the
rest
of
the
world
as
well
to
to
lead
the
way
in
the
way
that
Cambridge
does
in
so
many
other
ways.
Y
I've
heard
the
reasoning
that
there's
not
enough
officer
of
support
to
do
all
the
things
that
they
could
do
about
climate
change
that
doesn't
satisfy
Emily
as
an
excuse,
because
we
should
have
a
bigger
climate
change
Department.
If
that
is
the
reason
and
I'm
well
aware
of
the
the
challenges.
Well,
there's
plenty
of
other
thanks
after
Dale
ripp
there's
plenty
of
other
environmental
challenges.
There
extinctions
pollution
and
contamination
displacement
of
people
caused
by
climate
change.
Y
If
we
deal
with
climate
change
ambitiously
and
effectively,
then
we'll
make
a
positive
impact
on
a
great
number
of
other
things.
As
well
Kassel
hip
ken
has
mentioned
some
of
my
other
ambitions
for
the
year
ahead.
Perhaps
this
year
we
should
consider
the
question
of
recall
the
ability
for
residents
to
ask
for
a
reelection
of
councillor
who's,
not
meeting
their
needs
anymore
and
I've
heard
some.
Y
Some
discussion
of
the
mayor
of
the
combined
Authority
is
someone
who's
seeking
more
powers
than
they
originally
given
a
bit
of
a
paragraph
I'm
particularly
unhappy
about
this
and
I
wish
that
we
had
not
voted
for
him.
I
wish
that
we
had
all
voted
against
the
combined
Authority,
but
yes,
I'll
work
with
my
colleagues
as
much
as
I
can
to
to
avoid
the
damage
that
he
seems
came
to
inflict
on
the
city.
M
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
in
reply
to
the
comments
on
tourism,
I
would
say
that
we
do
value
the
visitors
who
come
to
our
city,
not
just
for
the
789
million
pounds
or
15,000
jobs
that
they
bring,
but
also
the
diversity
and
has
counselor
nesting
of
cells.
It's
only
right
that
we
get
to
share
our
beautiful
city
with
those
who
aren't
lucky
enough
to
live
here.
However,
alongside
visit
Cambridge,
we
are
working
to
encourages
visitors
to
stay
longer
and
also
to
go
out
beyond
Cambridge
to
Ely
Newmarket.
M
The
surrounding
areas
I
couldn't
agree
more
with
regards
to
the
coaches
on
the
backs,
which
is
why,
last
summer,
I
established
a
working
party
to
create
a
coach
strategy
for
the
city.
We've
been
carrying
out
a
consultation
of
coach
drivers
and
companies
which
we'll
be
reporting
back
in
June
and
I,
look
forward
to
councillor
netting
as
support,
because,
obviously
a
lot
of
this
sits
with
the
County
Council
as
the
highways
and
Transport
Authority
I.
M
Think
it's
rather
ironic
that
council
abit
said
it
was
Larry
burr
for
only
cares
about
council
housing
when
it
was
the
party
opposite
who
were
calling
for
a
hundred
percent
council
housing
at
Mill,
Road,
but
great
expense.
But
it's
this
labour
administration,
who
is
sound
financial
planning
will
be
building
twice
the
number
of
homes
by
building
mixed
developments
on
one
of
our
sites,
including
50%
council
housing
at
Mill,
Road
Depot.
M
However,
I
can't
agree
with
council
a
bit.
The
actions
do
speak
louder
than
words,
which
is
why
the
electorate
of
Cambridge
have
once
again
voted
for
a
Labour
Council.
Her
in
those
times
of
austerity,
are
delivering
high-quality,
essential
services.
Tackling
inequality
across
the
city
plus
have
a
vault,
bold
vision
for
the
future
of
a
healthier,
greener
and
even
more
successful
city.
M
F
G
Yeah
stereo
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
and
can
I
also
congratulate
you
on
your
new
higher
office
I'm,
particularly
proud
that
as
a
council,
we
agreed
by
a
majority
vote
at
Community,
Services
Committee
to
lift
or
lurch
on
funeral
fees
at
our
sites
and
I
know
that's
something
that
we're
all
really
proud
of
here
and
also
we
delighted
to
be
overseeing
several
green
initiatives
in
my
portfolio
this
year,
unlike
under
the
previous
administration,
every
year
we
plant
more
trees
than
our
lives
to
the
city.
G
We
may
remain
one
on
track
for
meeting
our
targets,
not
only
for
maintaining
but
also
increasing.
Our
tree
cover
we're
looking
to
increase
our
while
our
planting
and
we
are
training
a
zero
weed
killer
approach
in
our
parks.
We're
investing
in
public
toilets
and
councillor
Gillespie
will
be
delighted
to
hear
that
proposal
for
a
public
art
review
is
coming
to
the
next
Community
Services
and
Environment
Committee
I
have
to
say
I,
disappointed
statements
and
there
were
lots
of
initiatives.
I
saw
in
there,
which
we're
already
doing
or
have
already
committed
to
doing.
G
For
instance,
they
suggest
additional
environmental
enforcement
officers
and
I'm
sure
I
don't
need
to
remind
them
they're.
One
of
our
first
acts
in
2014
as
a
new
council
were
to
double
the
number
of
enforcement
officers
already
committed.
We
were
already
committed
to
increasing
that
number
further
in
our
services
you
that
commitment
is
already
there
actually.
Also
it's
a
very
disappointing
representation
of
our
service
review
in
the
Lib
Dem
statement
has
been
throughout
staff
consultation
and
is
motivated
by
strong
desire
to
ensure
that
our
resources
serve
our
residents
and
visitors
as
effectively
as
possible.
G
Now
I'm
sure
that
colleagues
opposite
would
never
wish
to
seek
to
misrepresent
something.
That's
so
very
important,
so
again,
I'm
afraid
I
can
only
apologize
that
I
clearly
haven't
explained
it
one
enough
in
the
past,
and
we
promise
to
do
better
in
future.
I
congratulate
the
new
opposition
spokesman
on
his
appointment.
I
look
forward
to
working
with
him
over
the
cut
of
the
next
year
and
I'm,
really
looking
forward
to
hearing
genuinely
new
initiatives
proposed.
G
More
importantly,
I
look
forward
to
implementing
our
positive
manifesto
for
what
we're
planning
to
do
this
year.
I
love
this
city
and
it
is
an
immense
privilege
to
serve
as
a
Labour
councillor
here
at
the
City
Council
and
I
look
forward
to
working
over
the
coming
year
with
all
those
who
care
about
it
as
much
as
I
know,
I
do
Thank
You.
Z
Thank
You
Sameach
I
would
like
to
agree
with
councilor
more
about
the
tourism.
Our
income
is
a
three-fold.
One
is
education,
technology
and
tourism.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
we
had
seven
million
four
hundred
thousand
people
visiting
us
last
year
and
if
they
all
spend
a
pound
in
Cambridge,
a
seven
million
four
hundred
thousand,
even
the
City
Council
benefits
from
that
of
tourists.
We
can,
on
average
about
200
visitors
in
this
chamber
which,
whom
we
charge
in
the
fiber
age,
so
that
would
make
about
the
four
thousand
pounds
a
week.
Z
Just
the
city
Carson
from
those
tourists,
so
they're
very
welcome
the
only
unity
to
is
to
share
the
love
and
just
take
them
away
from
King's
College
and
put
them
in
some
other
places,
also
not
just
outside
King's
College.
Most
people
in
Cambridge
don't
deal
with
the
council.
The
only
the
only
time
they
get
in
touch
with
us
is
when
we
pick
up
their
dust
bins.
Will
they
decide
to
when
we
have
a
problem
and
they
try
to
contact
us?
Z
How
many
of
us
have
you
made
a
phone
call
to
the
City
Council,
making
a
phone
call
to
City,
Council
I
was
told
by
constituents.
It's
a
daunting
task
is
a
horrible
experience.
Sometimes
they
have
to
wait.
Twenty
and
thirty
minutes.
Can
we
put
our
heads
together
and
work
cohesively
to
actually
improve
that
and
find
the
solution,
because
it's
unacceptable
once
you
get
one
similar
to
get
through
to
us
we're
very
helpful,
but
it's
just
a
waiting.
Those
whom
are
said
to
me
I
can
prepare
a
number.
Z
Let's
cook
it
eat
it
and
I'm
still
on
hold
okay.
So
that's
that
is
to
do
that.
There's
another.
The
other
subtle
I
feel
very
passionate
about.
Is
the
disabled
people
the
most
vulnerable
of
our
society,
who
cannot
have
a
full-time
job
who
rely
on
us
as
a
general
state
as
a
rich
city
of
Cambridge
to
help
them
will
penalize
them
and
I?
Think
I
feel
ashamed
for
us
to
have
450
pounds?
Were
penny
wise,
pound
stupid?
We
are.
Thank
you.
AA
I'm
gonna
go
back
to
what
was
said
from
over
the
other
sides,
so
heavy
accusations
of
bullying
and
intimidation
and
potentially,
but
left
belittling
them.
Who
really
are
the
victims
of
bullies
in
my
time
observing
these
meetings,
I
have
never
witnessed
such
behavior
for
the
people
who
were
traumatized
through
these
behaviors,
and
it's
totally
inappropriate
inappropriate
to
accuse
the
counselors
here.
It
sends
the
wrong
message:
it's
a
lone
Turk
and
it
only
makes
you
slop
like
spoiled
children.
The
way
you've
just
attacked,
familiar
and
also
shows
what
you've
just
accused
ourselves
I.
AB
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
Ness,
so
my
name
is
Anthony
Martin
and
the
new
counselor
firm,
markit
Ward's,
obviously
only
very
recently
been
elected
and
I
just
want
say.
Thank
you
very
much
for
giving
me
opportunity
to
speak.
The
residents
of
Market
Ward
want
a
lot
of
things
from
a
counselor,
but
hopefully
one
of
those
things
is
to
be
able
to
represent
them,
and
debates
like
this,
so
I
am
grateful
that
that's
been
allowed
after
this
sort
of
hoo-ha.
AB
One
of
the
things
I
just
wanted
to
pick
up
mentioned
by
both
cancer
hip
kinam
counselor
Herbert.
That
matters
greatly
to
my
residence
is
the
Market
Square.
Obviously,
that
reflected
in
the
name
of
the
wards
and
I
was
pleased
to
see
that
the
Labour
statement
had
adopted
terms
of
the
Liberal
Democrat
proposals
for
refurbishing
that
area.
AB
What
I
think
my
residents
would
like
to
see
in
addition
to
that
action
is
some
perhaps
slightly
sooner
action
on
making
a
look,
less
grimy
cleaning
it.
This
is
something
that
doesn't
necessarily
require
a
consultation.
It
shouldn't
take
months
and
I
think
would
make
a
significant
difference
to
both
their
practical
quality
of
life
and
also,
you
know
the
symbolic
importance
of
the
Market
Square
within
the
city.
So
thanks
very
much
for
your
time.
Sorry
I
wasn't
a
king
changer,
but
I
think
it
is
important
that
my
residents
are
allowed
to
be
represented
through
me.
A
Thank
You
counsel
Martinelli
before
I
bring
councilor
herb
in
for
the
right
of
reply.
I
need
to
say
so.
I
need
to
say
something
really
in
this
last
debate.
I've
allowed
16
speakers
eight
from
each
side,
I've
denied
one
of
the
labor
labor
group,
my
own
group,
the
right
to
speak
and
I
might
remind
the
opposition
group
that
they
have
fewer
members,
so
they
have
more
than
more
than
their
fair
share
of
debate.
I
trust.
The
opposition
group
will
show
a
little
more
respect
for
the
charity.
Subsequent
meetings.
I
Presume
may
that
I
have
three
minutes
max,
so
I
will
try
and
answer
quite
a
number
of
issues
in
that
time
on
the
Cherry
Hinton
married
offices.
It's
an
issue
of
concern
to
me.
I
was
sorry
where's
counterfeit
Gordon,
okay,
I'll
answer
it
cause.
Other
people
might
want
the
answer.
So
in
terms
of
Charenton
offices,
the
the
council
rightly
needed
to
make
savings
in
housing
revenue
account.
I
This
came
out
of
a
nasty
government
change
which
forced
us
to
trim
our
budgets
because
we
were
not
allowed
to
levy
the
rents
that
were
previously
expected
and
we
shed
at
least
we
reorganized
the
department.
We
have
fairly
recently
been
able
to
sell
on
the
lease,
but
it
has
taken
time,
and
so
the
issue
that
councilor
page
Croft
raised
is
being
resolved
and
now
it's
up
to
the
owner
to
decide
what
they
do
with
that
property.
We
are
not
in
control
of
whether
or
not
people
make
use
of
properties.
I
I
So
we
there
were
issues
that
came
up
out
of
that
Housing
Committee
in
terms
of
some
of
the
issues
that
tenant
reps
also
feel
strongly
about,
and
you've
rightly
mentioned
them.
You
mentioned
that
you
want
to
have
a
greater
focus
on
the
external
environment
in
our
housing
estates,
I
and
council.
The
price
and
our
side
agree,
and
so
a
survey
will
be
done.
Some
of
the
issues
that
were
raised
at
that
meeting
will
be
followed
up.
I
I
haven't
got
time
to
go
back
into
the
park-and-ride
issue,
but
I
do
assure
councillor
Connell
that
one
of
the
issues
that
we
do
need
to
sort
out
is
the
whole
transport
issue
between
Queen
Edith
and
between
Trumpington
Ward.
Why
shouldn't
there
be
a
high
quality
bus
service
serving
Baberaham
park
and
ride
through
to
Trumpington
and
taking
a
lot
of
people
off
off
the
road
and
parking
right?
That's
right
same.
I
We
will
be
reviewing
what
councilor
page
called
motor
mobility.
We
call
shop
mobility,
so
there
will
be
a
review.
We
will
be
keeping
that
under
review.
You're
very
welcome
to
our
petitions
on
whatever
subjects
you
like,
but
we
will
be
reviewing
that
and
if
we
see
that
the
charging
policy
is
and
isn't
appropriate
during
the
year,
then
we'll
review
it
residents
parking
I'm,
quite
astonished
that
council
a
bit
slams
residents
parking.
Basically
it's
a
good
thing,
nor
is
at
the
center
of
our
policy
on
transport.
As
you
suggest,
it's
just
an
add-on.
E
A
Okay,
we
now
come
to
two
public
questions.
I
understand
that
Dianna
means
Tina,
Lynch
and
Donald
forum
wish
to
address
the
meeting
under
the
scheme
allowing
members
of
the
public
to
speak
at
council
meetings.
Each
speaker
must
address
is
or
her
comment
to
the
chair
of
the
relevant
committee
or
the
relevant
member
of
the
executive.
Each
question
or
statement
must
be
limited
to
three
minutes
with
the
further
two
minutes
for
a
supplementary
question
or
comment
and
something
that
has
been
said
regarding
speaking
contributions.
A
Just
two
more
members
of
the
public
I
will
ring
the
bell
when
you
have
half
a
minute
left
and
will
ring
it
again
when
your
time
is
up,
there
is
normally
an
overall
time
limit
for
public
questioning
of
30
minutes,
including
the
time
taken
by
of
responses
to
questions,
but
this
can
be
extended
at
my
discretion
where
diamonds
come.
Please
come
forward
and
ask
a
question.
AC
D
AC
AC
AC
AD
I
It's
a
shame
that
our
council
already
hasn't
studied,
because
in
a
way,
it's
not
in
good
practice
to
talk
about
people
behind
their
backs,
but
I
do
think.
It
is
the
case
that
that
we
have
someone
who's,
not
just
a
counsellor
here,
but
also
on
the
County
Council
and
has
effectively
reduced
the
representation
of
Trumpington
ward
that
died
in
amends.
I
understand
us,
obviously,
a
resident
of
from
four
to
two.
I
It
isn't
possible
for
someone
living
400
miles
away
to
respond
when
someone
says,
can
I
come
and
can
you
come
and
see
this
issue
on
X
Street
in
a
day
or
two
time
it
isn't
possible
for
someone
who's
in
Scotland
to
arrange
a
local
meeting
on
something
it
isn't
possible.
In
my
view,
for
someone
at
that
distance
to
represent
their
area
I
if
I
was
counselor,
O'connell
or
counselor,
Thornburg
I
think
it
grossly
unfair
that
someone
is
also
shifting.
I
All
of
that
load
onto
me
and
also
depriving
thought
is,
as
Dinah
Menzies
told
us
is
the
largest
by
30
percent
in
terms
of
numbers,
the
largest
ward
in
the
city,
so
that
so
Trumpington
at
a
time
when
it's
got
massive
transport
issues
doesn't
have
a
voice
on
the
council
that
runs
Park,
&,
Ride
and
a
whole
load
of
other
themes
too.
So
I'm
glad
that
you've
come
here.
I
I
He's
made
an
appearance
at
the
County
Council
for
an
hour
and
a
bit
and
he's
made
an
appearance
here
for
about
an
hour
this
afternoon,
no
disrespect
to
the
ceremony
and
the
importance
of
our
annual
meeting.
But
this
is
the
business
of
the
council.
This
is
where
we
debate
the
policy
and
issues.
This
is
where
council
O'connell's
raised
an
issue
about
her
award.
I
It
was
unfortunate
that
he
should
be
doorstep
by
a
Scottish
newspaper
and
make
unkind
comments
about
the
very
people
that
he's
was
elected
to
represent
I
mean,
ultimately,
a
shame
has
worked
in
other
situations
through
our
councillors
have
just
not
done
the
job
and
I
mean
I,
don't
know.
Ultimately,
there
is
a
clear
case
where
councils
are
not
doing
their
duty
and
are
effectively
wheedling
around
the
six-month
rule,
which
is
designed
to
prevent
people
from
just
being
absent
for
government
to
review
the
legislation.
AD
AE
I've
spoken
to
people
in
the
tiny
enforcement
office,
they
said
that
the
use
of
Airbnb
properties,
where
the
president
is
growing
exponentially,
why
don't
we
look
at
cities
around
the
world
and
Cambridge
Massachusetts
San
Francisco
who've
had
similar
problems
with
Airbnb
the
fashion
done
something
about
it.
Why
don't
we
look
at
the
city
just
down
the
rightest
new
market
who
are
actively
trying
to
do
something
about
it?
Why
don't
we
adopt
their
mantra?
The
new
market
mantra
protecting
the
interests
residents.
AE
Personally,
I'm
very
fortunate
that
I
live
on
a
property
of
mates
cause
well,
the
property
that
joins
mine
is
currently
being
met
with
here:
B&B
4:12,
stroke,
14
adults
plus
two
children.
That
is
unacceptable.
I'm
constantly
bombarded
minibuses
appearing
up
front
of
the
house.
People
stumbling
out
people
sitting
on
the
front
wall,
people
around
the
keysafe
trying
to
open
it.
AE
After
that
we
have
situations
where
these
people
one
or
two
nights.
They
are
then
soldered
by
the
cleaners
who
blocked
my
access
at
the
rear
of
my
property.
So
I
can't
get
out
of
my
garage.
I
have
situations
where
the
people
who
rent
the
house
next
to
me
turn
up
in
cars
and
they
move
the
dustbins
in
front
of
my
garage,
so
I'm
blocked
in
I
registered
a
complaint
with
the
planning
for
spent
department
in
the
beginning
of
2017.
AE
I've
recently
had
a
reply
stating
that
he
was
going
to
investigate
the
property
on
the
6th
of
April
and
he
would
serve
enforcement
notice
at
the
beginning
of
May.
I've
now
had
another
email
from
him
saying
that
he's
now
had
any
response
from
him.
As
regards
what's
going
to
happen,
planning
enforcement
are
the
most
difficult
people
to
contact.
They
don't
return.
Calls
I've
left,
voicemail
I've
sent
emails,
I've
left
messages
with
colleagues,
they
don't
respond.
Is
it
unacceptable,
I
think
I
believe
they
can't
respond
because
they
inundated
of
too
much
work?
I?
AF
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I'm,
sure
we'll
be
making
a
lot
more
friends
this
year.
Those
if
you
remember
your
pop
music
may
I
remember
that.
Thank
you,
friends
with
Nigel
brand,
your
song,
sorry,
in
terms
of
the
question,
mr.
Frank,
thank
you
for
writing
that
this
afternoon,
in
terms
of
the
individual
case,
having
alleged
to
apply
yourself
and
asked
to
give
me
the
reasons
as
to
why
there's
been
a
poor
response.
As
far
in
terms
of
what
you've
alluded
to,
it
may
well
be
a
case
coming
to
the
productivity
in
the
foreseeable
future.
AF
Obviously,
members
of
planet
community
have
had
written
experience
of
several
cases
already
presenting
and
being
we
have
to
deal
with,
as
we
are
advised
and
is
appropriate
in
terms
of
the
sort
of
trend.
Clearly,
there
is
a
number
of
these
cases
within
the
city,
and
it
is
a
trend
that
may
or
may
not
take
off
and
grow.
AF
We
have
to
deal
with
it
in
terms
of
existing
plans
and
if
they
are
not
strong
enough,
we
would
have
to
decide
whether
we
need
an
appropriate
plan
to
deal
with
that
specific
issue
itself
when
that
would
then
be
the
remit
of
the
planning
and
scrutiny
so
in
the
new
planning
scrutiny
committee
and
for
faculty
members
to
take
on
board
in
terms
of
the
general
point.
Clearly,
there
is
a
concern
and
is
a
right
to
be
concerned
of
a
lack
of
progress
on
a
matter.
There's
present
in
regular
problems.
AF
We
have
I,
think
I
know
who's.
The
reload
through
foreign
team
has
been
very
heavy
in
recent
years.
It's
probably
because
fully
staff,
even
when
they're
now
fully
staffed
this
today
iris
workload
and
them
have
taken
on
decision
to
appoint
a
third
enforcement
officer
to
level
which
widely
spread
it
a
bit
further
and
give
a
bit
more
ability
to
respond
there
in
rapid
and
appropriate
manner.
They
don't
know
the
circumstances
of
this
particular
case
and
that's
where
I'll
have
to
speak
to
the
enforcement
teams.
AF
AE
AE
AF
What
we
haven't
been
specific
written
policy
that
sort
of
had
strength
for
that,
but
we
do
have
currently
the
ability
to
respond
and
it
is
based
on
a
sort
of
affecting
degree
sort
of
model
whereby,
if
we
believe
on
fact
and
degree
they
operated
a
guest
house
sort
of
B&B
without
permission,
then
we
can
act
and
that
sort
see
what
we
do.
But
that
is
an
existing
policies
which
the
enforcement
team
can
use.

M
Thank
you
essentially.
My
answer
to
your
question
is
no,
however,
that's
not
simply
because
of
the
higher
cost
of
an
all-electric
fleet.
The
main
aim
of
car
clubs
and
why
we're
keen
to
continue
supporting
one
in
Cambridge
is
to
reduce
the
overall
number
of
cars
needed
in
the
city.
This
reduces
the
users
carbon
footprint
due
to
fewer
journeys
made
by
car,
unless
the
total
number
of
cars
needed
is
less
so,
materials
and
energy
is
saved
on
production
plus
there's
the
added
benefit
of
reduced
parking.
M
M
Y
Thanks
mr.
Mehra,
a
supplementary
question
is,
if
judge,
if
charging
points
are
the
barrier
to
having
an
electric
car
club
fleet,
then
wouldn't
work
in
with
a
car
club
provider
during
procurement
to
arrange
charging
points
such
as
the
electricity
ones,
which
provide
charging
points
through
a
lamppost
for
residents,
as
well
as
car
club
users,
be
an
effective
way
of
getting
quicker
charging
infrastructure
in
the
city.
M
Thank
you
so
also
I
didn't
say
that
we're
just
one
of
three
partners,
the
others
being
the
County
Council
and
Cambridge
University,
going
out
kurma
together
and
we'll
need
to
find
a
solution
that
fits
all
of
our
needs.
That
will
include
electric
vehicles
that
will
include
as
we're
doing
in
other
ways
increasing
the
electric
charging
infrastructure.
But
right
now,
because
we're
going
out
to
procurement,
we
need
a
solution
that
fits
for
all
the
residents
needs.
Who
will
join
the
car
club.
P
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
the
simple
answer
to
councilor
question:
a
Cantrell's
question
is
yes:
now
I've
done
this
before
and
sat
down,
never
know
I'm
not
going
to
do
that
today.
I
do,
however,
and
I'm
sure
he's
asked
me
the
question
in
order
that
he
can
find
out
in
what
ways
we
already
do.
I've
got
many
ways
that
we
already
do
here
and
it
will
take
longer
than
two
minutes
mr.
P
mayor,
so
I
would
deliver
what
I
can
within
that
time,
because
I
wouldn't
want
the
rough
of
you
coming
down
on
me
for
overstepping
the
mark,
and
this
council
goes
way
beyond
its
legal
obligations
to
our
tenants
in
social
housing.
The
work
we
do
fix
the
council's
overall
vision
of
one
Cambridge,
fair
for
all
caring
for
our
environment
and
our
people,
creating
a
great
place
to
live
and
learn
and
work.
P
We
support
our
support
for
older
tenants,
the
independent
living
community
support
service,
which
maximizes
income
and
pension
at
poverty,
project,
community
alarms,
welfare
checks,
digital
support,
empowerment,
tendancy
support.
Our
tenancy
sustainment
service,
provides
19
units
of
move
on
accommodation
at
each
one
place
and
offers
bridging
bridging
support.
For
those
with
mental
health
problems
resident
engagement,
we
are
very
active
in
this
area
that
the
last
star
survey
in
2014
we
drew
up
and
had
implemented
an
action
plan
to
improve
life
for
our
tenants
and
lease
holders.
P
We
employ
two
estate
champions
who
are
who
undertake
a
program
of
proactive
engagement
with
our
residents,
including
by
me,

We
and
our

We
work

The
council
is
looking
to
strengthen
its
policy
and
operational
responses
to
domestic
abuse,
financial,
digital
and
social
inclusion.
We
do
some
significant
work
to
support
our
tenants
in
this
regard.
P
V
You
miss
sweat,
I'm
sure
the
Executive
Council
would
have
reached
this
particular
item
on
his
list,
which
is
response
repairs,
but
legally
we
have
no
obligation
to
provide
free
response
repairs,
but
operationally
we've
done
so
over
many
years
across
all
our
social
housing
tenants.
Now
the
ruling
group
has
over
the
course
of
the
last
six
or
so
months,
considered
whether
or
not
this
should
be
a
service
that
is
removed
and
tenants
pay
for
it.
So
I
welcome
their
executives,
counselors
commitment
to
go
beyond
the
legal
necessity
in
relation
to
our
social
housing.
V
Tenants
and
I'd
like
him
to
give
a
commitment
today
in
this
chamber
that
you
will
continue
the
same
level
of
standard
of
service
for
response
repairs
across
the
whole
of
the
social
housing
tenant
portfolio
that
have
been
enjoyed
by
tenants
for
many
years
or
going
forward
and
also
ensure
that
is
enshrined
legally
in
the
tenants
agreements.
Thank
you.
P
Don't
pest-control,
yes,
thank
you.
Thank
You,
councillor,
Cantrell
and
I
did
wonder
what
the
actual
question
was
about.
It's
always
easy
when
we
know
what
the
question
is.
I
can
give
you
and
possibly
a
longer
answer
at
that
point,
and
we
are
still
looking
at
that.
As
you
know,
we
withdrew
the
report
for
this
because
it
wasn't
fit
for
purpose.
P
M
M
This
launch
will
include
media
releases
and
communications
on
clean
air
from
our
own
team,
plus
information
and
toolkits
from
global
action
plan
clean
air
day.
Then,
throughout
the
summer,
we're
having
a
public
consultation
for
residents
and
for
anyone
working
in
the
city
to
give
their
views
and
input
into
the
plan,
plus
we're
having
one
clean
air
event
for
residents
and
stakeholders
to
share
information
on
ideas
and
then
we're
having
another
event.
M
For
members
in
employees
of
the
council
to
try
out
a
range
of
electric
vehicles
finding
in
September
we're
not
finally
in
terms
of
air
quality,
but
finally,
in
September
we
should
have
the
results
of
our
feasibility
study
into
a
clean
air
zone,
which
will
of
course
include
more
discussion,
planning
and
further
consultation.
Thanks.
AB
AB
One
of
the
things
that
they
raise
is
a
possibility
that
one
could
do
and
provide
the
resources
for
is
writing
directly
to
licensed
fleets
advising
them
and
encouraging
them
to
remember
to
switch
off
their
engines
when
idling,
and
that
would
seem
like
something
that
there
would
be
within
the
power
of
the
council
to
do,
and
perhaps
not
just
on
that
day.
But
before
that
day
and
there's
part
of
an
ongoing
plan
is
in
addition
to
your
other
awareness-raising
events
and
I
was
wondering
if
you
anything
that
was
a
good
idea
or
something
committee.
M
I
Thank
You
councillor
smart
and
also
thank
you
for
initiating
the
original
motion
which
pressed
for
the
to
pound
limit
on
the
fast
gambling
machines.
We
we
did
receive
responses
both
in
email
from
Heidi,
Allen,
MP
and
also
by
way
of
a
meeting
that
I'd
had
with
Daniel's
Eichner.
The
more
substantial
response
was
that
the
government,
not
necessarily
solely
because
of
our
pressure
but
I,
do
think
it
was
very
timely
motion
agreed
to
limit
the
fast
gambling
machines
to
two-pound.
I
Previously
people
could
literally
end
up
thousands
of
pounds
worse
off
in
a
day
and
with
their
lives
destroyed
and
whilst
there's
still
many
issues
in
the
social
responsibility
of
gambling.
I
do
think
that
the
motion
that
he
originally
proposed
and
was
supported
by
this
council
made
an
impact,
and
it
was
a
good
statement
on
behalf
of
the
city,
because
people
have
been
exploited
by
large
betting
companies
for
far
too
long.
AG
Again
for
arriving
late,
mr.
Mehra
and
congratulations
on
your
elevation,
sixth
odds.
Betting
terminals.
Do
you
think
counts
Herbert
that
we
must
be
ever
vigilant
in
the
midst
of
a
neoliberal
Society,
sorry
economy,
to
help
protect
our
poor,
the
needy
and
the
vulnerable,
and
without
wishing
to
be
overly
political,
it
is
blatantly
obvious
to
me
that
this
work
is
central
to
our
labor
priority
and
I
would
have
to
look
hard
on
the
other
side
of
this
chamber
to
find
any
such
interest.
There.
I
I
The
whole
issue
of
how
that
might
link
in
with
universal
credit
and
people
not
being
in
a
position
to
budget
weekly
as
they
have
been
used
to
I,
just
think
that
there's
a
whole
range
of
ways
that
people
on
low
incomes
or
dependent
on
benefits,
people
with
mental
health
issues
or
disabilities
continue
to
be
exploited.
And
there
is
no
social
responsibility
and
yeah
the
I'm
not
going
to
have
a
go
at
the
party
here.
But
but
their
MPs
in
Westminster
did
very
little
when
they
had
the
chance
and
between
2010
and
2015.
T
Mr.
mayor
and
our
summer
holiday
program
play
day
is
2018
were
one
four
weeks
from
the
30th
of
July,
it's
the
24th
of
August
and
will
include
a
range
of
activity,
including
Arctic.
Wednesday's
partners
will
include
cambridge
university
museums,
amy
and
speech
Matic.
The
program
will
be
distributed
to
all
primary
school
children
and
will
be
available
on
our
website
and
we'll
be
giving
copies
out
at
the
big
weekend.
T
The
program
is
aimed
at
school-aged
children
and
their
families,
and
will
be
actively
encouraging
parents
and
carers
to
play
play
whilst
attempting
to
have
a
citywide
approach
to
play.
Our
resources
would
be
targeted
on
those
areas
where
we
appreciate
there
is
the
greatest
disadvantage
and
limited
play
opportunities
available,
the
big
weekends.
Our
big
Wednesdays,
however,
will
be
hosted
on
our
bigger
destination
paths
where
parking
is
provided.
T
These
events
have
historically
generated
large
numbers
of
families
from
across
the
city
and
give
us
an
opportunity
to
promote
our
year-round
program,
including
the
Cambridge
communities,
to
grab
store
prior
to
the
sale
holidays.
Our
project
leaders
are
going
to
be
working
in
local
neighborhoods
towards
an
entire
football
tournament.
That
will
happen
on
the
first
day
of
our
summer
holidays,
which
is
on,
which
is
the
25th
of
July
at
pi
rec
and
next
week,
May
hard
term.
T
D
AD
J
Gary
tonsil
name,
and
we
are
waiting
very
case-
was
held
in
the
High
Court
on
the
night
from
the
11th
of
May,
and
we
are
currently
awaiting
judgment.
It's
successful,
though
cancer
would
be
able
to
take
enforcement
action
to
stop
the
use
of
carries
the
loss
of
Lane
the
commercial
plant
operations.
The
council
is
aware
of
the
issues
of
congestion
and
disruption
to
pedestrians
and
cyclists,
and
that
is
part
of
the
reason
for
seeking
an
injunction
to
stop
this
use.
S
Thank
you.
That's
helpful
information
I
wondered
whether
he
had
any
further
information
on
when
the
judgment
was
likely
to
be
due
and
I
also
wondered
in
the
interim
I
hope
the
judgment
will
come
very
soon,
but
if
it
doesn't
the
neat
there
are
new
plan
tunes
being
used
there,
which
make
it
possible
for
them
to
put
more
people
in
pumps
more
quickly,
which
means
more
people
are
hanging
around
on
the
street,
causing
more
blockages
for
anybody
who
is
trying
to
use
what
is
in
fact
a
very
seriously
important
major
transport
route
in
this
city.
S
Councilor
hip
Kim
is
asking
about
the
economic
benefits.
There
are
economic
benefits
from
tourism,
but
there
are
not
economic
benefits
from
having
that
very
important
transport
retreat
blocked,
and
it's
a
matter
of
managing
such
matters
in
the
interim
until
the
punting
can
be
got
rid
of
entirely,
which
I
hope
will
happen
soon.
I
wonder
whether
the
ruling
group
might
look
at
ways
of
making
sure
that
people
who
are
waiting
for
punting
there
are
better
managed
and
kept
off
the
major
transport
route.
S
J
Thank
you,
I
think
we're
all
in
agreement
over
the
problem
they're
on
there
we're
hoping
for
a
judgement
next
week,
but
the
charges
in
the
hands
of
the
judge.
It's
been
some
weeks
since
the
11th
of
May
herring,
so
I
hope
who,
if,
as
you
say,
if
that
is
not
successful,
we
will
obviously
need
to
be
the
considering
other
options
and
possibly
the
ones
you're.
Putting
forward
would
certainly
be
considered.
We're
hopeful
of
a
better
result,
though,
than
that.
AF
O
O
Good,
his
fine
brickwork,
a
mock,
tudor
paneling.
It
was
in
the
regions,
family
for
three
generations
and
I
believe
it's
one
of
the
finest
houses
on
the
street.
Will
the
executive
councilor
work
with
me
to
explore
our
gently.
Registering
the
two
properties
I've
mentioned
as
buildings
of
local
interest,
which,
while
it
may
not
be
a
guarantee
of
protection,
might
provide
some
protection
from
this
form
of
pre-emptive
demolition.
AF
AF
She,
colleagues
and
I
will
now
be
working
with
New,
South
commissure
colleagues
to
make
sense,
as
I
said
planning
service,
but
is
something
we
are
42
and
I
believe.
The
new
administration
in
South
Kansas
are
equally
committed
to
make
sense
of
that
between
us
and
so
far
as
you've
been
staffing,
restructures
and
staffing
challenges
to
make
sense
of
the
polarization
of
the
the
to
counseling
to
better
share
service.
That's
as
far
as
we've
got.
Q
Thank
you
very
much,
mr.
mayor.
Thank
you
very
much
for
a
suspense
I'm,
slightly
concerned
about
the
euphemism
of
harmonization
right,
because
we
know
that,
in
terms
of
public
engagement
and
purpose
of
the
possibility
to
call
in
applications
south
cams
after
what
40
years
of
touring
rural
is
way
behind
the
the
level
of
engagement
in
the
city,
and
so
you
talk
about
harmonization.
I
would
call
that
lowering
of
standards
and
I'm
very
concerned.
The
neighbor
group
can't
have
it
both
ways
right.
Q
So,
on
the
one
hand
you
say,
oh
don't
put
playing
applications
into
the
area
committees,
but
then,
when
they
go
to
the
the
overall
planning
committee
you
say:
oh
there
are
so
many
applications.
We
need
to
really
deal
with
calling
in
system.
My
residents
are
greatly
concerned
that
well
the
new
head
of
planning
in
his
briefing
said
as
much.
He
said
we
can't
have
two
different
ways
of
calling
in,
and
so
we
need
to
restrict
it
to
what
South
Cam's
has,
because
that's
the
lowest
common
denominator,
I,
don't
think
we
can
just
dismiss
that.
AF
To
talk
about
the
planning
processes,
they,
obviously
in
the
practical
terms,
elves
and
South-
comes
to
their
bases
and
clearly
I
showed
Palace
service
news,
a
sensible,
shared
process
to
make
them
more
consistent
across
the
board,
South
Africans
and
residents
and
developers
are
able
to
interact
with
us
in
a
more
consistent
way
in
terms
of
the
Democratic
side
of
it.
Those
discussions
will
take
place
I'm
sure,
because
there
are
different
ways
that
South
County
with
applications
compared
to
us.
We
may
decide
that
we
learn
from
each
other.
AF
A
J
Right
can
I
welcome
cancer
DL
and
as
a
cancer,
but
also
as
the
spokesperson
for
finance
and
resources.
I
gather
so
welcome,
aboard
I
think
the
answer.
The
question
is
basically:
yes,
your
performance
of
the
city's
commercial
portfolio
has
been
very
good
so
far,
and
particularly
for
years
we've
been
running
the
council.
J
K
Also,
thank
you
for
your
warm
welcome,
Thank
You
probability,
I
didn't
have
a
more
specific
concern,
particularly
regarding
the
future
resilience
of
our
investment
portfolio.
So
this
morning
the
BBC
News
there
was
further
worrying
headlines
about
being
Q's
financial
performance
and,
as
B&Q
is
obviously
a
primary
tenant
to
the
major
investment
we
hold
Haverhill
retail
park.
I
just
wondered
if
the
council
had
a
plan
if
that
property
was
to
be
vacated
under
the
ongoing
store,
closes
air
closures
across
the
Kingfisher
group.
Thank
you.
J
Single
property,
because,
of
course,
we
needed
my
wider
perspective
generally.
The
economy
of
the
city
and
of
the
country
is
changing
quite
a
lot,
so
we
need
to
address
that
commercial
property
portfolio
and
decided
to
invest
more
money
in
it.
We
were
concerned
that
we
in
many
ways
that
the
retail
sector
was
over
outperforming
or
out
of
weighing
the
balance
of
the
portfolio,
particularly
in
the
city.
Now
we
did
widen
it
elsewhere,
obviously,
but
that's
something
we
will
be
reviewing.
J
So
what
we
are
concerned
about
is
to
review
the
types
of
assets
we've
got
our
money
in.
We
do
need
commercial
property
income
about.
We
will
be
very
concerned
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
at
risk
and
the
city
itself
has
got
empty
property
in
Grafton
center,
in
particular
in
and
in
Christ's
Lane.
Those
are
issues
where
the
retail
sector
is
obviously
at
risk,
mainly
because
of
the
internet
as
well
as
I
can
see.
An
external
review
is
going
to
be
taking
place
and
we
will
be
addressing
the
issue
as
we
find
the
results.
G
Thank
you
for
your
question
parts
tashera,
and
also
congratulations
on
your
election
and
our
frontline
teams
work
extremely
hard
throughout
the
year
to
ensure
our
open
spaces
are
kept
free
of
litter.
Our
planting
teams
are
out
and
about
in
the
city
from
before.
Most
people
are
awake
and
I've
been
out
with
them
myself
and,
quite
frankly,
I
didn't
even
think
that
time
in
the
morning
actually
existed.
G
It
really
is
horrendous
how
much
he's
dropped
and
they
usually
do
that
before
anyone
else
is
even
up
and
about.
We
make
sure
that
in
the
summer
time
will
increase
our
already
strong
cleansing
capacity
even
further.
We
add
several
additional
teams
through
rotors
and
an
extra
one,
still
at
weekends
and
put
out
summer
burns
where
needed,
and
we
make
sure
that
our
teams
focus
their
attentions
on
the
areas
that
we
know
have
the
most
litter
problems,
such
as
our
most
popular
parks.
G
But
we
do
that
without
neglecting
the
parks
and
other
parts
of
the
city,
and
our
recent
surface
view
will
increase
that
flexibility,
making
it
easier
for
us
to
deploy
yet
more
people
to
those
tasks.
If
needed,
I
also
had
the
privilege
to
shadow
public
enforcement
team,
and
that
was
also
a
really
interesting
day
there.
It
did
lead
to
a
picture
of
me
going
through
bins
for
evidence
of
fly
tipping
which
I
really
wish
I'd
never
shared
with
a
certain
mr.
Thomas,
who
suddenly
isn't
here
to
hear
me.
G
Tell
you
at
this
point,
this
team
patrol
the
whole
city's
seven
days
a
week
and
their
work
includes
dealing
with
littering
and
fly-tipping
offenses.
We
also
have
an
extensive
public
education
program
with
Rangers
and
enforcement
officers,
visiting
schools
and
colleges,
and
we
run
targeted
campaigns
such
as
the
recent
anti
fly
tipping
campaign.
This
summer.
We
will
also
be
running
a
citywide
anti-litter
campaign
working
with
targeted
shops
and
fast-food
outlets,
language,
schools
and
news
and
social
media
outlets,
we're
in
an
increased
level
of
childhood
onset.
We're
from
that
team,
including
signage
and
increased
patrols.
N
Really
executive.
Thank
you
for
that
and
reply.
Will
the
executive
counselor
join
me
in
putting
on
record
the
thanks
of
Memphis,
the
thanks
of
members
to
our
frontline
staff,
who
work
so
hard
for
the
city,
and
will
she
also
join
me
in
calling
on
everyone
to
do
their
bit
to
support
them
by
using
the
bins
provided
and
or
taking
their
litter
away
with
them?
Thank
you.
G
G
I've
been
out
with
our
enforcement
and
our
street
cleansing
teams
is
that
what
they
do
is
clearing
up
things
that
shouldn't
have
been
there
in
the
first
place
and
there's
so
much
more
that
they
could
do
if
actually,
people
just
put
things
away
now,
if
there
isn't
a
bin
there,
but
I.
Take
you
to
her
and
it's
so
essential.
G
A
AH
H
D
A
Now
to
agenda
15
item
15,
a
motion
to
the
council:
the
NuvaRing
ii
have
up
to
15
to
10
minutes
between
them.
The
proposer
and
seconder
of
the
amendment
also
have
up
to
10
minutes
between
them.
All
other
contributions
are
up
to
three
minutes
per
councilor.
I
now
call
on
council
O'connor
to
speak
to
the
motion.
Thank.
F
You
mr.
mayor
last
night,
cracks
and
canoes
journey
from
Henry's
canoe
club
on
coke,
then
toured
Manchester.
The
club
routinely
conducts
such
trips
and
sometimes
last
night
we
have
the
specific
aim
of
doing
a
river
clean.
Fortunately,
the
kinds
of
people
who
went
green
spaces
towards
Grantchester,
including
the
tourists,
seem
to
have
become
a
more
conscientious
group
over
the
last
few
years,
more
conscientious,
perhaps
than
some
visitors
to
other
green
spaces
in
the
city
and
I,
can
report
we
collected
relatively
little
litter,
but
that
standing
start.
It
stark
contrast
to
my
experiences
elsewhere.
F
A
couple
of
weekends
ago,
I
was
also
out
on
the
water
and
I
was
somewhat
surprised
when
I
passed
through
a
garbage
patch
floating
pastors,
including
a
number
of
plastic
water
bottles.
Another
plastic
waste
I
was
proud
because
I
wasn't
in
a
canal,
kayak
or
canoe.
At
the
time,
I
was
several
miles
offshore
in
the
English
Channel.
F
It's
not
the
first
time
I've
encountered
at
wasted
sea
and
Fabian
I
doubt
it
will
be
in
the
last
even
further
afield.
As
I
was
writing
this
motion,
I
sort
of
it,
a
new
record-
has
been
set
reported
earlier.
This
month,
the
world's
deepest
plastic
bag
found
at
the
bottom
of
the
manometer,
a
nearly
11
comma
too
deep
in
the
Pacific.
Now
not
all
marine
waste
is
plastic.
Certainly,
the
plastic
he's
deserving
of
being
singled
out
for
being
particularly
harmful
to
the
environment.
F
F
You
know
if
it's
not
collect
if
it
does
get
washed
out
to
sea
and
into
the
oceans
attitude
by
waste
from
every
other
town
or
city
on
the
river
cam
on
the
gray
tooth,
and
if
you
have
a
water
course
in
the
UK
in
Europe
globally
millions
of
times
of
plastic
every
year,
it's
all
too
easy
to
ignore
by
and
large
it's
out
of
sight
now,
we've
just
heard
the
previous
oral
question
was
about
waste
management.
It
seems
appropriate
that
can
help
reduce
some
of
the
pollution,
but
it's
not
the
entire
solution.
F
We
need
to
eliminate
this
of
source
now.
I'm
gonna
start
really
locally.
The
coffee
and
water
machine
outside
the
committee
rooms
and
it's
not
actually
possible.
If
you
bring
a
reusable
copy,
do
I
live
random
variable
to
get
a
drink
from
the
coffee
machine
without
giving
you
a
plastic
cup,
even
if
you
tip
it
into
one
of
these.
It's
you
know,
you
end
up,
throwing
the
plastic
cup
in
the
bin.
F
AB
Like
to
speak
now,
if
possible,
please
thank
you.
So
thank
O'connell
for
her
eloquent
speech
in
support
of
this
motion,
which
I
think
is
at
once
timely
in
that
it
comes
at
a
time
of
increasing
public
awareness
of
this
issue
and
yet
also
overdue
in
terms
of
the
fact
that
a
lot
of
the
issues
raised
and
the
damages
been
had
that
had
been
done
over
a
number
of
years
by
by
inaction
on
points
like
this
I
think,
a
lot
of
the
points
raised
a
sort
of
indisputable
I.
AB
Think
almost
everyone
in
this
chamber
would
agree
that
overuse
and
you
know
inappropriate
dispose
of
plastics-
is
causing
significant
harm
to
our
environment
locally
and
beyond
that.
And
but
what
I
really
like
about
this
motion
is
how
sort
of
pragmatic
it
is-
and
we've
heard
earlier
on
today,
about
how
the
council
has
taken
a
role
and
inspired
other
councils
and
bodies
across
the
country
to
follow
them
on
other
issues
and
I
think
this
could
be
something
similar
where
we
could
we
could.
AB
We
could
show
leadership,
and,
by
being
such
a
pragmatic
and
localized
motion
and
acting
on
things,
we
can.
We
can
really
make
a
difference.
You
know,
even
within
this
chamber.
If
we
work
in
front
of
some
of
the
desks
in
front
of
us,
it
would
allow
us
to
move
things
forward
more
rapidly
than
relying
on
figures
and
necessarily
in
central
government,
so
I
think
I
agree.
I
am
absolutely
right.
It's
a
second
council
O'connell's
motion
and
I
agree
that
we
should
try
and
act
now
locally
and
expand
out
from
that.
Thank.
A
M
Forms
of
plastic
of
pollution,
plastic
pollution
damages
us
our
planet
and
our
fellow
inhabitants
on
this
planet.
In
a
myriad
of
ways,
as
has
been
mentioned,
there's
now
plastic
litter
in
Cambridge
in
the
in
our
rivers.
It's
also
been
noted
on
every
beach
in
the
world,
including
beaches
on
far-flung
uninhabited
islands
with
an
estimated
5,000
items
of
marine
plastic
pollution
per
mile
of
beach.
In
the
UK
alone.
M
Microfibers
have
been
found,
embedded
deep
in
riverbeds,
frozen
in
Arctic
ice
and
in
83%
of
the
samples
of
drinking
water
tested.
The
united
nations
ocean
conference
estimated
that
by
the
year
2050
the
oceans
might
contain
more
weight
in
plastics
than
fish.
Of
course,
this
pollution
has
a
devastating
impact
on
all
forms
of
sea
life,
with
an
estimated
hundred
thousand
marine
mammals
and
turtles
plus
over
a
million
seabirds
now
being
killed
every
single
year
by
plastic
pollution.
We
know
it
kills
them
when
they
eat
it
or
they
get
caught
in
it.
M
We're
also
yet
to
fully
understand
the
effects
of
microfibers,
thousands
of
which
wash
out
into
our
waterways
every
time
a
polyester,
fleece
or
other
synthetic
material.
Is
these
microfibers
are
undetectable
to
the
human
eye
and
have
been
found
throughout
the
food
chain
and,
as
I've
already
said,
in
83
percent
of
samples
of
drinking
water.
We
do
not
know
what
the
effect
of
ingesting
millions
of
these
microscopic
fibers
will
be
on
the
human
body,
and
it's
possible
that,
due
to
our
average
age
in
this
chamber,
some
of
us
will
not
be
too
worried
about
it.
M
Children
drinking
increasingly
contaminated
water
as
they
grow.
It
really
can't
be
good
for
their
growing
bodies
to
solve
this
crisis.
We
really
need
Swift
government
intervention
and
new
legislation
when
I
was
a
child,
we
had
the
terrifying
hole
in
the
ozone
layer
government's
acted
together,
eventually
to
ban
CFCs
and
the
growth
of
the
hole
slowed
and
is
now
at
last
beginning
to
heal.
M
We
can
do
the
same
with
plastic
pollution
and
the
jury
of
using
less
and
recycling
more
is
that
will
conserve
energy
and
natural
resources
at
the
same
time
so
helping
in
our
fight
against
climate
change.
However,
I
must
add
that
our
reliance
on
plastic
is
not
only
harmful
for
the
environment
as
up
to
40%.
Less
fuel
is
used
to
transport
drinks
in
plastic
bottles
compared
to
glass,
bottles
and
plastic
packaging
is
very
effective
in
keeping
food
fresher
for
longer,
which
in
itself
helps
to
prevent
food
waste,
which
is
another
problem
in
itself.
M
Food
waste
in
Britain
today
creates
as
much
co2
emissions
as
all
of
the
HGVs
driving
on
our
roads,
so
I'm
not
currently
suggesting
that
we
stop
using
plastic
all
together.
We
just
need
to
use
it
more
wisely.
It
takes
75%,
less
energy
to
make
a
plastic
bottle
from
recycled
plastic
compared
with
using
virgin
materials
plus,
of
course,
saving
plastic
from
a
best
landfill
or
at
worst
floating
in
our
seas.
So
I
do
welcome
the
government's
plan
for
a
bottle
deposit
scheme.
M
However
I
just
don't
think
it
goes
far
and
attacks
on
using
virgin
plastics
in
packaging
would
encourage
manufacturers
to
use
recycled
plastics
and
would
have
the
added
benefit
of
raising
the
value
of
plastic
recyclate
immediately.
Increasing
recycling
rates
I
also
think
we'll
need
to
be
more
innovative.
M
In
the
past
year,
we've
been
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
reduce
waste
across
the
council,
not
just
plastic
waste,
but
other
wastes
and
we'll
be
continuing.
This
work,
which
will
be
documented
in
the
report
we'll
bring
to
Environment
and
Community
Services
Committee
the
challenges
to
the
market
charter
market
regulations
that
came
into
force
last
month
will
be
extended
to
cover
street
trading
and
we're
also
working
on
a
water
refill
scheme
which
will
be
a
combination
of
freely
accessible
taps
on
our
land
and
a
scheme
for
businesses
to
sign
up
to
offering
people
free.
Refills.
M
M
So
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
and
will
continue
to
do
this
year,
will
include
our
own
estate
and
ways
day-to-day
working
across
the
council.
Events
on
our
land
in
our
community
centers
and,
of
course,
through
the
shared
waste
service,
I,
look
forward
to
the
support
of
the
members
opposite
because
they
all
nodded
happily,
because
I
must
say
here.
This
is
not
what
is
in
the
amendment,
but
that
I
do
have
a
grand
plan
to
move
Cambridge
towards
the
circular
economy.
M
AI
AI
One
of
the
main
issues
that
I've
discussed
and
was
brought
up
was
about
how
to
mitigate
the
effects
of
climate
change
and
how
we
can
as
individual
and
as
a
community,
reduce
our
carbon
footprint.
So
I
think
it's
really
exciting
that
we
can
work
towards
a
zero
waste
strategy
here
in
the
City
Council.
But
zero
waste
equals
zero,
a
hundred
percent
youth
and
to
get
a
hundred
percent
use
of
all
of
the
materials
that
we
work
with
and
using
consume.
AI
We
need
to
help
change
the
behavior
of
all
of
us
and
our
residents,
so
we
need
to
think
about
reducing
reusing,
refurbishing,
repairing
and
then
only
then
finally
recycling
and
when
we
talk
about
reducing
waste,
we
must
also
consider
food
and
the
food
waste
comes
up
now
again
and
again,
but
actually
food
should
never
be
considered
a
waste
product.
We
need
to
continue
to
change
how
people
think
about
food,
because
it's
a
very
important
commodity
and
it
should
never
be
wasted.
AI
At
the
very
least,
it
would
be
a
resource
to
go
towards
composting,
but
going
coming
back.
The
waste
issue
is
very
important
and
the
plaque,
but
bringing
in
plastics
into
the
top
of
this
and
then
into
the
middle
of
this
zero
waste
recycling
is
important
because,
as
councillor
O'connell
said,
it
can
last
for
so
many
years,
but
I
would
support
con
councillors.
Moore's
amendment
to
go
further.
Y
Y
Do
support
the
amendment,
although
I
would
rather
say
require
or
caterers
working
on
City
Commission
events
to
rather
than
encouraging
all
caterers
working
on
City
Commission
events,
because
I
think
we
do
have
power
over
our
events
around
and
we
can
require
that
caterers
use
the
bests
products
and
we
can
recommend
them
as
well.
We
can
highlight
products
like
CH,
our
local
business,
which
is
brought
in
its
own
deposit
scheme
water
in
a
box
completely
biodegradable
water
container
better
than
a
plastic
bottle
of
water.
Y
It's
important
that
we
when
we
set
out
metrics
for
for
capture
of
plastics
and
recycling
bin,
we
don't
just
end
to
recycle
plastics
but
reduce
the
amount
of
plastics
in
circulation
as
a
whole
and
increase
the
proportion
of
plastics
which
were
captured
from
those
that
remain
used.
There
was
a
consultation
about
plastic
use
run
by
the
national
government,
which
and
debris
somewhere
now.
Y
Do
they
use
that
have
plastic
which
can't
be
separated
from
the
paper
making
them
hard
to
recycle
I'm
concerned
that
they
may
still
be
valid
under
the
new
market
regulations
and,
let's
be
sure
that
they're
not
she's,
talking
about
mandating
that
all
new
plastic
bottles
by
2023
must
be
made
of
50
percent
recycled
plastics,
helping
to
create
more
of
a
market
for
the
recycled
product
and
trying
to
get
manufacturers
to
pay
significantly
more
for
the
cost
of
recycling
plastic
in
their
products.
Right.
Y
The
film
on
on
bottles
on
the
of
the
secondary
plastic,
it's
used
with
the
principle
being
that
the
polluter
should
pay,
which
I
think
is
perfectly
fair.
On
the
Sepik
of
the
the
end
product
for
plastic.
I.
Think
the
mention
of
the
circular
economy
is
very
very
welcome,
because
I'm
concerned
that
the
incinerator
plant
will
allow
it
to
sweep
the
problem
under
the
carpet
and
pretend
that
it
isn't
the
problem.
Y
Q
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
mayor
I
think
there's
broad
agreement
that
plastics
need
to
be
addressed.
I
think
we've
heard
the
account
of
cancer
I,
don't
and
okay
about
the
pollution
of
the
river
can
our
own
precious
River
and
it
continues
elsewhere
in
in
the
city,
so
I
think
aiming
for
the
highest
level
of
ambition,
and
there
is
a
slight.
There
is
a
slight
defense.
Q
On
the
other
hand,
I
don't
want
to
sort
of
make
cheap
games,
also
something
that
unites
us
in
this
house,
but
it
I
think
I'm
I
wanted
to
sort
of
press
the
side
opposite
on
the
fiber
example,
where
you
introduce
the
fiber
cup
and
it's
used,
it
can
be
returned
in
any
shops,
independent
and
chain
businesses
all
across
the
city.
I
think
something
like
that
seems
to
be
a
really
good
idea
and
yeah.
Getting
rid
of
single-use
plastics
should
be
require
some
effort.
You
know
it
can't
be
just
oh,
we
shouldn't
use
single-use
plastic.
Q
Q
Even
the
fiber
cup
is
so
popular
that
the
vast
majority
of
these
plastic
cups
unfortunately
leaves
the
city
as
a
souvenir
and
maybe
there's
a
sort
of
return
system
that
could
be
worked
on
in
your
zero
waste
strategy,
but
just
sort
of
find
words
and
calling
on
the
government
and
rest
Minster
to
do
something.
I,
don't
think
is
enough.
A
M
Thank
you
for
your
comment,
require
all
caterers.
I
think
that's
a
great
idea
is
definitely
something
we'll
be
working
towards
and
I
will
follow
up
on
that.
That's
actually
not
totally
within
my
portfolio
but
I'm
sure
I'm
supported
in
that
I.
Don't
know
about
the
consultation
but
I'll
find
out
and
follow
up
and
let
you
know
with
regards
to
you,
like
my
ideas,
great
and
so
I
look
forward
to
your
support.

V
You
mr.
mayor
Cambridge
is
successful
city
with
a
brilliant
local
economy,
the
skilled
workforce
and
a
low
rate
of
an
employment.
However,
Cambridge
faces
significant
challenges.
It's
often
cited
as
one
of
the
most
unaffordable
places
to
live
in
the
UK,
driven
in
part
by
the
high
high
costs
of
housing,
which
remain
materially
out
of
step
with
local
rages
in
the
last
three
years,
rents
in
this
city
of
increased
by
over
15%,
but
employees
have
not
had
a
corresponding
increase
in
wages.
V
If
you
go
to
an
employment
website,
you
can
still
see
job
vacancies
in
Cambridge,
a
material
below
the
current
rule,
living
wage
rate
of
8
pounds.
75
poverty
in
this
city
in
the
city
expresses
itself
in
many
ways
and
in
particular,
in
work.
Poverty
has
been
highlighted
by
the
interim
report
recently
published
by
the
Economic
Commission
as
part
of
the
combined
or
authorities
review
of
the
board
economic
position
of
the
of
the
region.
So
low
pay
therefore
continues
to
significantly
impact
Cambridge
residents.
V
Now
this
council
has
a
track
record
of
being
a
strong
voice
on
the
issue
of
fair
pay.
The
Liberal
Democrat
group,
when
in
control
of
the
council,
introduced
the
real
living
wage
in
2013
and
starts
the
process
to
be
for
the
council
to
be
accredited
with
the
living
wage
foundation.
This
provided
a
foundation
for
the
council's
approach
to
fair
pay
over
the
last
five
years,
or
so.
The
current
administration
has
continued
this
direction
of
travel
initially
driven
by
the
passion
of
froma,
counselor
counselor
hours
and
sustained
by
other
members
present.
V
More
recently,
we've
seen
the
introduction
of
the
minimum
wage
for
our
direct
employees,
helping
some
27
staff
out
of
our
830
employees,
but
I
don't
believe
these
actions
are
enough
when
we
know
that
the
issues
that
have
and
are
driving
the
cost
of
living
in
this
city
will
not
be
addressed
in
the
near
term,
particularly
in
relation
to
the
cost
of
housing.
We
all
know
that
the
imbalance
in
relation
to
the
housing
supply
and
demand
is
something
that
we
and
other
stakeholders
cannot
address
in
the
short
term.
V
It's
a
medium,
long
term
issue
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
So
mr.
mayor,
at
the
heart
of
this
motion
is
an
objective
to
accelerate
our
direction
of
travel
consistent
with
the
idea
that
there
should
be
fair
pay
for
all
who
live
in
our
city
to
reinforce
the
message
to
residents
that
we
are
on
their
side
that
we
are
fighting
their
corner.
V
The
Cambridge
living
wage
would
recognize
these
specific
circumstances
that
this
city
and
those
cities
I've
referenced
face.
It
won't
be
a
voluntary
wage
and
it
will
be
pegged
against
the
London
living
wage.
It
will
be
dynamic.
It
would
reflect
the
cost
of
living
pressures
for
residents
on
an
ongoing
basis
and
it
will
be
tested
on
an
annual
basis
right,
the
length
of
wages,
unlike
the
real
living
wages.
V
So
if
this
council
approves
this
motion
this
afternoon,
what
would
it
mean
in
terms
of
numbers?
Well,
let's
just
take
the
Oxford
living
wage,
something
that
their
labour
council
in
Oxford
has
had
in
place
for
a
number
of
years
and
is
currently
at
nine
pounds,
sixty
nine
per
hour.
If
we
apply
that
rate
in
Cambridge,
that
would
mean
an
extra
almost
two
thousand
pounds
over
the
real
living
wage
that
it's
currently
8
pounds
75
per
hour,
an
extra
two
thousand
pounds
per
year
in
the
pocket
of
a
hard-working
cambridge
resident.
V
That
would
help
them
to
afford
to
live
in
this
city
and
mr.
mayor
evidence
suggests,
but
the
employees
who
receive
that
additional
rate-
they
typically
tend
to
spend
it
in
the
local
economy,
so
it
actually
gets
recycled.
It
benefits
the
city
now
I'm
sure,
like
me,
members
across
the
chamber
have
not
on
a
lot
of
doors
in
the
last
few
months
and
I'm
sure
you've
heard
residents
tell
you
that
they
continue
to
struggle
to
make
ends
meet
living
in
this
city.
They
continue
to
stroll
to
make
ends
meet
this
chamber.
V
A
T
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
this
council
can
be
proud
of
the
work
it
is
done
since
2014
in
promoting
a
living
wage
in
Cambridge.
Our
commitment
to
a
living
wage
in
your
city
is
not
in
question
and
forms
a
central
plank
of
our
anti-poverty
strategy.
The
number
of
employers
paying
the
real
living
wage
rates
has
gone
up
from
mini
616
to
nearly
60,
with
the
council
actively
supporting
26
of
the
43
additional
firms
through
their
own
accreditation
process.
T
We
actively
engage
of
Cambridge
employers
and
different
sectors,
a
tech
sector,
the
facilities
at
the
including
companies,
tourism
and
hospitality.
Our
offices
attend
meetings,
often
speak
at
local
business
networks,
including
the
Institute
of
Directors
and
business
networks.
International.
Our
efforts
in
promoting
the
real
living
wage
have
been
firmly
recognized
by
the
living
wage
foundation
of
this
authority
being
awarded
the
deep
were
awarded
the
local
employer
champion
award
two
years
running,
as
well
as
promoting
the
real
living
wage
through
engagement
with
business.
We
reinforces
that
this
commitment
by
being
an
exemplar
employer.
T
We
completes
our
full
accreditation
process
early
by
promptly
doing
what
was
expected
by
the
living
wage
foundation.
That
is
negotiating
with
our
contractors
and
subcontractors,
the
extension
of
the
real
living
wage
to
all
start
working
for
the
council
with
a
minimum
of
fuss
and
on
the
1st
of
April.
This
year
we
met
our
pledge
to
ensure
that
floor
directly
employed
council
staff
will
be
paid
a
minimum
of
10
pounds
an
hour
to
effect
the
rising
costs
of
living
in
this
city.
T
We
want
to
pay
this
rate
because
we
can,
and
we
think
it's
the
right
thing
to
do.
Indeed,
the
met
the
amendment
to
this
motion
makes
explicit
the
authority's
desire,
an
aspiration
to
extend
this
minimum
rate
to
cover
those
who
work
for
our
shared
services,
opening
discussions
with
partner
councils.
We
also
want
to
look
at
the
feasibility
of
all
contracted
and
subcontracted
staff
that
are
under
the
scope
of
the
real
living
wage
being
covered
to
buy
this
minimum
rate.
T
However,
before
any
final
decision
is
made,
it
is
prudent
and
sensible
to
know
what
the
cost
is
and
what
the
implications
are
first,
but
it
is
something
we
want
to
consider
the
amendment
week.
We
commit
to
this
council
to
the
valuable
work
just
refer
to
in
promoting
the
real
living
wage,
but
also
making
clear
to
employers
that
this
rate
must
be
the
absolute
minimum,
and
businesses
ought
to
pay
beyond
this
rate
if
they
can
afford
to
reflecting
the
cost
of
living
in
Cambridge.
I.
T
Just
say
that
the
reason
why
the
amendment
removes
a
specific
reference
to
a
voluntary
came
achieving
wages
because,
in
our
view,
creating
a
rate
and
doing
with
the
work
in
undertaking
our
own
research
and
coming
up
a
became.
Much
specific
figure
would
be
too
onerous
for
officer
staff
and
stretch
off
the
knight
resources.
It
could
distract
from
the
vital
work
we
need
to
do
to
continue
to
undertake
in
persuading
more
employers,
including
the
colleges
of
the
university,
sadly
to
overcome
their
objections
and
become
accredited
by
the
living
wage
foundation.
T
T
No
just
the
authorities
achievements
over
the
last
few
years
on
this
subject
proposes
a
blueprint
for
extending
our
minimum
wage
to
cover
all
our
staff,
and
we
states
our
commitment
to
working
with
local
employers
and
businesses
in
promoting
the
many
benefits
of
paying
their
workers,
a
rate
of
pay
that
is
fair
and
which
accurately
reflects
the
cost
of
living
in
their
City.
Thank
you.
W
W
I'd
like
to
say
that
I
would
like
the
whole
employees
of
this
city
to
pay
the
minimum
wage,
or
even
more
especially
organization
that
pays
carers.
They
do
such
a
hard
job
and
they
get
seven
pound
something
canal
which
to
me
is
diabolical,
and
we
need
to
do
something
and
keep
fighting
all
the
other
employers
in
the
city.
W
AJ
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
congratulations
on
your
elevation
and
to
councillor
bird
I
spoke
at
Regent
house,
the
governing
body
of
the
University
of
Cambridge
last
June,
asking
them
to
seek
accreditation
to
the
living
wage
Foundation.
The
reply
from
the
university
was
the
university
chose
not
to
seek
accreditation
from
the
living
wage
foundation,
as
it
was
thereby
have
no
control
or
input
into
future
voluntary
living
wage
increases
which
applied
each
year
and
that's
another.
AJ
The
argument
really
isn't
it
do
we
really
think
the
employers,
such
as
the
University
of
Cambridge,
would
place
their
living
wage
as
a
level
determined
locally.
Many
local
employers
are
not
just
based
in
Cambridge.
They
might
be
persuaded
to
pay
at
a-level
determine
nationally
by
an
organization
who
have
4,200
accredited
members,
including
one
third
of
the
footsie
100
companies.
AJ
We
changed
the
University's
position
so
that
it
is
now
seeking
accreditation
to
the
living
wage
foundation.
This
included
a
campaign
illustrating
how
many
organizations,
including
universities,
were
accredited
I
was
suggest.
Employers
are
unlikely
to
sign
up
to
a
living
wage
determined
in
Cambridge.
This
motion,
if
passed
under
mended,
would
be
a
diversion
from
the
very
successful
work
of
Cambridge
City
Council,
which
led
to
its
becoming
the
living
wage
champion
for
the
reece
east
of
england
twice,
and
it
would
cast
us
adrift
from
the
organization
which
has
secured
the
living
wage.
For
so
many
people.
U
Thank
you
man.
This
party,
we
had
our
annual
statement,
spread
out
or
talked
about,
and
it's
quite
interesting
that
on
pages
31
and
32
counts,
the
big
pointed
out
what
the
Liberal
Democrats
want
to
achieve
and
if
you
look
to
page
their
12:32
there's
no
mention
of
the
rage.
So
it's
quite
interesting
that
counts.
The
counter
now
stands
up
and
say:
well,
mr.
Burke,
you
can
it's
there
31
to
32.
U
Can
you
show
me
where
the
living
wage
is
maintain
your
priorities
and
I'd
like
to
point
out
that
in
our
state
we
will
be
prevented,
I
paid
for
it
three
times
we
mention
what
we're
doing
about
the
wage,
so
we
are
taking
it
seriously.
We
are
intending
to
things
and
from
him
in
future.
If
you
could
make
it
quite
clear
that
our
annual
ceremonies,
what
you
want
to
do
and
what
priority
it
will
make
life
a
lot
easier
that
have
come
in
this
time
at
night,
claiming
what's
important
to
sort
out.
M
As
has
been
noted
here,
we've
just
raised
our
minimum
hourly
rate
10
pounds
per
hour,
but
unfortunately
the
previous
South
cams
Tory
administration,
who
employs
some
of
our
staff
through
the
shared
ways.
Services
did
not
support
this,
raise
and
refused
to
increase
their
wages.
So
I
welcome
the
change
of
administration
in
South,
cams
and
I
sincerely
hope
that
my
colleagues
opposite
will
encourage
their
fellow
party
members
to
pay
our
10
pounds
per
hour,
minimum
for
our
staff
and
their
staff,
including
our
way
screws
sue,
who
worked
so
hard.
S
S
Thank
you,
Cambridge
is
a
wonderful
place
to
live
and
we
are
all
privileged
to
live
in
a
city
with
such
a
rich
history
on
which
is
so
beautiful,
beautiful,
but
Cambridge
is
also
a
very
expensive
city
and
housing
in
particular,
is
very
expensive.
Indeed,
many
Cambridge
residents
live
in
private,
rented
accommodation
with
very
high
costs,
along
with
the
serious
lack
of
long-term
security.
S
By
supporting
the
campaign
for
the
rule
of
enraged,
those
on
both
sides
of
the
chamber
have
supported
people
on
the
lowest
incomes,
but
this
motion,
in
its
original
form
asked
for
is
an
extension
of
that
good
work.
The
point
of
accounts
are
investigating
a
specific
Cambridge
living
wage,
rather
than
adopting
an
arbitrary
national
figure
is
that
it
draws
attention
to
the
actual
costs
associated
with
living
and
working
in
Cambridge.
S
I
think
he
underestimates
the
way
that
local
employers,
he
underestimates
local
employers,
who
I
feel
would
like
to
know
that
they
should
be
paying
their
staff.
This
is
a
city
which
values,
evidence
and
I'm
sure.
If
this
council
are
willing
to
put
in
the
time
and
effort
to
demonstrate
what
wages
were
you
needed,
many
more
employers
would
be
willing
to
work
towards
paying
those
that
wage
counselor
sergeant,
quotes
the
University
of
Cambridge
and
I.
Think
they
too
could
be
persuaded
to
recognize
an
evidence-based
local
living
wage.
S
Counselor
sergeant,
persuaded
them
in
the
past
and
I
would
hope
that
they
could
be
persuaded
again.
Well,
I
am
glad
that
the
consensus
on
paying
a
living
wage
ramones
across
this
council-
and
there
will
certainly
be
talking
to
this
out
myself-
cameras.
Colleagues
about
improving
the
roaches
they'll
pay
their
staff.
There
will
be
ashamed.
It's
the
real
heirloom
of
this,
of
establishing
an
accurate
living
wage
for
Cambridge
is
left
in
this
motion
and
I
hope
you
will
vote
for.
The
motion
are
amended.
Thank
you.
I
A
short
contribution
but
I
think
it's
an
important
one.
At
the
moment
we
already
have
two
different,
where
we
have
a
confusion
added
to
by
the
Conservative
government,
all
beards,
niggardly
and
but
welcome
in
that
they've
adopted
policies
that
David
sorry
Miliband
was
proposing
before
the
2015
general
election.
So
so
we
have
a
confusion
of
different
rates,
a
confusion
of
different
ideas
and
I'm.
I
We
could
have
a
third
rate,
but
it
is
not
in
the
interest
of
this
council
to
slow
down
the
pressure
that
we
put
on
the
colleges
who
are
not
signed
up
to
the
real
living
wage.
It's
not
in
the
right
the
direction,
in
my
judgment,
to
continue
to
argue
for
each
different
city
in
town
around
the
country
to
have
a
different
living
rate
formula.
We
should
be
ensuring
that
the
efforts
of
our
officers,
as
well
as
the
efforts
because
councillor
Johnson
and
myself
do,
need
to
go
and
meet
a
few
people.
I
In
the
next
few
months.
I
sent
them
Christmas
cards
and
at
least
the
one
from
that
to
the
University
had
a
payoff
but
I've
sent
Christmas
cards
to
30
of
the
leading
employers
in
the
city
and
I'm
going
to
be
checking
up
exactly
whether
they're
going
to
be
sending
me
one
back
this
year
with
a
good
message.
So
we
put
our
effort
into
actually
getting
that
eight
pound
75.
Q
Yeah,
it's
it's!
It's
quite
difficult
not
to
address
individual
councillors.
Mr.
mayor,
so
I
I'll
try
my
best
because
I
wanted
to
react
directly
to
what
the
leader
of
the
council
just
said.
Well,
I,
don't
understand
about
the
confusion.
Point
here
is
I
understand
it's
hard
work
to
convince
employers
to
convince
the
University
to
convince
the
the
colleges.
Having
worked
on
my
own
College,
Council
I
know
it's.
Q
It
requires
real
conviction,
but
when
Oxford
and
London
have
introduced
the
London
living
Rage,
the
Oxford
living
range,
it's
just
a
recognition
that
live
in
the
city
is
actually
much
more
expensive
than
if
you
drive
50
kilometres
out
of
the
city
right.
So
rather
than
getting
it
letting
employers
off
the
hook,
we
would
have
an
opportunity
here
to
underline
that
people
who
live
and
do
our
services
and
wait
our
tables
in
the
city
we
to
be
paid
so
that
they
can
actually
be
and
afford
to
live
in
the
city.
AH
Congratulations,
a
little
innovation
and
also
to
deputy
we're
sure
to
see
you
there
again.
Jerry
you're
super
hire.
Okay,
so
everything
that
counsel
analysis
said
as
lead
to
poverty
strategy
for
the
last
couple
of
years,
I've
had
occasion
to
meet
with
employers
in
the
city
to
talk
about
the
living
wage
as
it
was
where
it's
cold
and
and
then
because
the
government
introduced
a
national
living
wage
introduced
an
enormous
amount
of
confusion.
The
employers
I
spoke
to
what
a
national
rage
was.
AH
They
hadn't
any
idea
and
the
employers
I
spoke
to
said
it
had
put
them
off
becoming
at
all
involved,
and
so,
as
a
consequence
of
that,
we've
had
to
wage
a
living
wage
and
now
what's
proposed,
is
a
local
living
wage
to
add
just
more
confusion.
It's
this.
You
know,
wages
has
been
used
as
a
political
football
again
and
again
and
I
see
it
now
in
play.
Once
again,
we
have
three
living
wage
and
that's
what
we
should
stir
with.
AG
So
I
can't
say
that
I
do
agree
with
everything
coach
to
her
brother
said.
I,
think
that
this
is
not
only
it
were
judged,
but
your
intentioned
so
I'll
just
explain
what
I
mean
my
questions.
Counselor
controls
does
he
believe
in
this
motion,
because
over
the
four
years
I've
got
to
know
you,
cancer
control,
I,
know
that
you're
very
interested
in
money,
and
you
have
a
good
understanding
of
how
money
works.
Now
this
motion
is
completely
silly.
AG
Is
this
not
gonna
work
now
the
living
wage,
the
real
living
wage
or
the
living
work,
as
well
as
then
was
first
set
up
in
2001
by
the
citizens?
What's
it
called
the
system's
collision
or
something
that
was
called
yeah
citizens?
Uk,
that's
a
non-political
organization:
it
came
us
work
in
the
East
End
of
London
and
non-political,
and
it
came
from
there
to
now
where
we
have
the
real
living
wage.
Over
that
period
you
Lib
Dems
have
been
in
power
in
Cambridge
from
2000
to
2014.
You
never
did
anything
now.
AG
I
noticed
the
kind
of
control
aeneas
motion
which
maybe
some
other
people
noticed,
claimed
ownership
of
the
Royal
living
wage
in
Cambridge.
By
laying
the
foundations
for
the
real
living
wage,
so
how
you
lay
a
foundation
in
2013
when
we
did
it
in
a
labor
administration,
so
I
would
say
to
you
that
perhaps
you
could
have
done
it
slightly
earlier
and
actually
had
the
relevant
wage
operates
here
in
Cambridge.
Rather
than
talking
about
laying
the
foundation
for
a
living
wage.
AJ
AG
Living
wage,
the
real
living
wage
is
something
it
was.
It
was
calculated
by
teams
of
economic
economists
at
left,
R,
University
and
the
clearly
in
London,
and
recently
it's
calculated
by
the
resolution
foundation.
So
the
it's
not
an
easy
calculation.
It's
a
lot
of
work
goes
into
it.
You
can't
just
make
up
a
new
living
wage
for
a
new
place.
This
is
not
a
new
idea.
Councillor
control
lots.
AG
People
have
talked
about
real
living
wages
for
other
places,
but
from
all
that's
been
said
already
all
right
in
pre-pro
it's
been
said,
but
it
just
won't
work.
You
can
lots
of
waiters
for
lots
of
places,
I
presume
for
you.
This
is
only
going
to
leave
maybe
to
a
real
living
wage
for
noonim,
because
where
does
it
stop
people
living
in
Cambridge
just
outside
Cambridge
on
the
boundary?
Maybe
just
in
Cambridgeshire
it
doesn't
work,
counselor
control,
it's
a
silly
motion
and
it's
just
political
maneuvering
by
you
in
this
council
and
as
a
prospective
parliamentary
candidates.
T
Mr.
bet,
it
appears
that
you
know
we're
really
arguing
about
semantics,
because
we
grew
a
ninety
five
night
near
99%
of
everything
and
I.
Just
suggest
that
you
know
we
go
to
the
boat,
acknowledge
a
consensus
that
we
do
have
on
this
issue.
We
do
support
a
living
wage
and
that
we
continue
to
encourage
the
payment
of
the
real
living
wage
and
adhere
to
the
living
wage
foundations
approach
or
be
it
that
the
real
living
wage
ought
to
be.
V
V
The
executive
councilor
that
introduced
the
real
living
wage
in
this
Authority
and
to
be
fair
members
of
the
opposition
when
you
were
in
the
opposition,
were
passionate
about
the
living
wage.
Now
the
real
living
wage
and
I
actually
took
on
boots
all
those
I
remember
having
a
photo
tation
with
councillor
Blanco
at
at
the
Folk
Festival
on
a
on
a
we're
believing
what
wage
was
actually
being
campaigned
for.
V
So
so
actually
I
have
been
a
long-term
promoter
of
the
living
wage
in
this
city,
a
long-term
promoter
and
I
know,
we've
all
talked
about
the
difference
between
a
Cambridge
living
wage
and
the
real
living
wage.
Well,
the
30
page
report
done
by
extra
labor
City
Council
in
March
this
year,
reconfirmed
their
commitment
to
the
Oxford
living
wage
and
it's
not
complex.
All
they've
done
is
pegged
it
to
the
London
living
wage.
That's
all
you
have
to
do.
You
have
to
peg
it.
V
V
Take
council
Senate's
point
in
terms
of
convincing
employers
to
actually
pay
the
living
wage
in
wim2
comfort,
I
spent
in
a
period
of
time,
convincing
winter
comfort
that
they
needed
to
pay
the
real
living
wage
and
I
was
successful,
and
we
need
to
carry
on
doing
that.
But
the
direction
of
travel
needs
to
move
up
a
gear,
because
basically,
people
are
suffering
in
this
city
and
the
real
living
wage
is
not
enough,
and
if
we
don't
have
enough,
you
can
laugh
countless
in
it.
V
But
it's
not
a
laughing
matter
for
people
in
this
city
who
are
suffering.
We
need
to
give
them
hope.
We
need
to
give
them
an
opportunity.
We
need
to
give
them
an
opportunity
to
get
paid
more,
and
if
that
means
going
to
toyota's
and
going
to
the
University
and
you're
the
key
employers
and
telling
them
that
they
need
to
step
up,
then
that's
what
we
need
to
do
and
actually
write
this.
V
The
the
administration,
the
credit
for
the
work
you've
done
over
the
last
five
years
in
relation
to
promoting
the
real
living
wage
I
think
you've
done
a
lot,
but
actually
we
need
to
move
on.
We
need
to
do
more.
Oxford
has
done
it's
a
labour
Control
Council
in
Oxford
that
has
this
and
labor
controlled,
Council
and
I
hope
you
talk
to
them,
because
actually,
this
is
the
rain
which
we
will
dress
in
the
short
term.
Those
fundamental
issues
facing
the
residents
of
this
city,
