Motions

A. Councillor Payne to move that:
Full Council recognises that the vast majority of City Council tenants in local authority housing want the City Council to remain as their landlord, which should be respected. It also notes with concern that affordable housing supply does not meet current demands, and that some local construction firms are struggling. Full Council recognises that consideration of establishing a local housing company is currently underway and is proposed as the means to deliver Southampton's estate regeneration programme. Full Council requests the Executive urgently investigates how a local housing company can best preserve local jobs and provide more affordable homes in the city.

B. Councillor R Williams to move that:
Council welcomes the new Planning Bill 2007 - 08 for introducing a new system for approving major infrastructure of national importance, such as ports and harbours and notes the importance of the new Bill in the potential development of Dibden Bay. Council calls on the Executive to work with all stakeholders in the public and private sectors to promote the use of Dibden Bay as a strategic port development and report back on the activities it is undertaking on the promotion of Dibden Bay to Full Council within six months.
