The Annual Meeting of Cambridge City Council will be at 11:00 on Thursday 24 May in the Guildhall. Full agenda here: http://www.cambridge.gov.uk/public/councillors/agenda/2007/0524cncl/00.pdf The morning session is basically civic stuff, electing the mayor for the year and so on. After lunch comes the political part of the agenda, including debates on: (a) Bus strategy - lack of joined-up thinking (b) Climate change - suggestions for improvements to the Climate Change Bill (c) Housing - bringing back into use empty residential property (d) City centre strategy (e) Folk festival ticket arrangements (f) Punting - touting and other problems Several of the above have been recent topics of discussion on cam.* so should be of interest to people here ... although possibly not of quite so much interest as to prompt you to take an afternoon off work, I accept; it's arguably rather a pity that the debates of more interest to the public happen to have turned up for our one daytime meeting of the year. Tickets to sit in the chamber for the morning session really do need to be arranged in advance via your favourite councillor, as the seats get full for this particular session. But there's plenty of room in the gallery. -- 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
