MOTIONS

A. Councillor Baston to move:
Council notes with concern the decision of the Executive to cease meetings of the Major Projects Board and the effect this will have on cross party involvement on future developments in the City. Bearing in mind the present economic climate and the importance of ensuring the future economic stability of the City, Council requests that this decision be reversed and that the Executive actively encourages cross party working for the good of the City.

B. Councillor Burke to move:
This Council recognises the importance of high profile events, as a way of promoting the City to visitors, and raising our residents’ sense of pride in the City’s heritage, culture and diversity. This Council resolves to implement an annual Southampton festival to follow the Southampton Boat Show in September. The Festival should be a show case for a whole range of arts and culture. This Council calls upon the Executive to draw up proposals and seek funding for a Southampton festival, to commence in September 2009.

C. Councillor Slade to move:
That Southampton City Council should formulate and implement a "Considerate Developer Policy" on all developments within the City. This should be implemented within the next three months.

D. Councillor Richard Williams to move:
Council calls on the Executive to increase the level of sustainable construction in all new homes built in the City from Code for Sustainable Homes Level 3 to Level 4 with immediate effect.
