July’s full council meeting was a fairly short agenda (although due to long discussions took quite a long time!), which can be found on the Norwich City Council website here. My participation was as follows:
I heard the Lord Mayor’s Announcements, and voted to agree the minutes of the previous meeting.
I asked a supplementary question to the written answer I had received to my question on Train Wood. The question asked the cabinet member to clarify whether he supported the principle of keeping Train Wood in public hands, to which he re-iterated his previous response that Train Wood is the responsibility of the county council and that the city council’s responsibilities are to maintain its planning policy that affects the site, such as public access rights.
I voted in favour of “Allocation of funding for riverside walk”. This item was carried.
I seconded the motion on Funding Local Government and subsequently voted in favour it. The motion was carried.
I voted in favour of “Declaration on racial discrimination”. The motion was carried.
The final motion on housing strategy was not moved.
