Subject: City Council meeting, Thursday 22 February
From: Tim Ward

6pm, Guildhall Full agenda should be on the council's web site, which is reporting itself as being broken just right now. Business includes: (4) 2006/7 budget, and Labour's amendment (6)(a) Labour motion on area committees and planning (Personal opinion: of no interest to the public, it's largely an internal procedures squabble. But if this sort of stuff turns you on take a look at the government report that Labour's motion claims to be quoting ... and find that it doesn't actually say these things!) (6)(b) Labour motion on crossing commons (Background: this relates to the recent report from consultants to the county council about transport strategy for the East Cambridge development. This one *is* likely to be of interest to the public.) (6)(c) LibDem motion on sheltered housing (Background: government propose further drastic cuts to local provision. City council disagrees.) (6)(d) LibDem motion on abolition of slave trade bicentenary (Personal interpretation:Urging government to catch up with European best practice on people trafficking.) (6)(e) LibDem motion opposing government plans to close yet more post offices As ever, if you would like a ticket to sit in the chamber please ask your favourite councillor (no prior arrangement needed to sit in the public gallery). Food provided at half time. I won't say "join us in the Eagle afterwards" this time because the chances of the business being finished by 11pm are approximately 0%. -- Tim Ward - posting as an individual unless otherwise clear Brett Ward Limited - www.brettward.co.uk Cambridge Accommodation Notice Board - www.brettward.co.uk/canb Cambridge City Councillor
