Motions

A Councillor Burke to move:

Council welcomes that all political parties in this Chamber support the delivery of the cultural quarter and see it as essential for the continued regeneration of the city. In order to ensure that the cultural quarter is delivered with the reputation of Southampton untarnished as an arts and heritage centre of excellence, Council calls on the Executive to replace the proposed sale of art from the City Art Gallery with alternative sources of funding.

B. Councillor Baston to move:
This Council notes that:
1. Climate change predictions show that without severe cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, the world will be hit by drought, flooding and famine affecting all of us, and poorest countries in particular. Some of these countries are already suffering from the effects of climate change. This is an issue of social justice as well as a call to take environmental action.
2. Under the UK Climate Change Act 2008 the UK is due to cut its emissions by 34% by 2020, but according to climate change scientists, a cut of 10% in 2010 is in line with what is now needed to avert runaway climate change.
In preparation for the Copenhagen conference, government ministers need to know that the public supports more dramatic cuts in emissions than have been proposed. Many councils have already signed up to the '10:10' Campaign, which seeks to persuade individuals, business, organisations and the UK government to reduce their CO2 emissions by 10% in 2010.

This Council supports these aims and ambitions and therefore resolves to urge the Executive to sign up to the 10:10 Campaign
