MOTIONS

A Councillor Payne to move:
"This Council recognises that the proportion of rented homes is much higher in Southampton than the national average. As a result, the Council must provide enough funding to regulate this sector, ensuring that residents are not living in poor housing. This Council also calls for tighter controls to stop the unchecked spread of Houses in Multiple Occupation, and for the Council to take steps to ensure that the negative impact of existing ones is minimised to improve the quality of life for existing residents."

B Councillor Burke to move:
"Council notes that the present parking arrangements are causing a great deal of inconvenience to those who wish to come and worship in the inner city . Council calls on the Executive to urgently consider the parking arrangements in the inner city for all faith groups and to introduce modifications to the current regulations to ensure that all faiths can worship without the fear of parking penalties."

C Councillor Baston to move:
“This Council believes that the proposal to sell art works from the civic collection is a betrayal of public trust, damaging to the reputation of our museums, and should not be implemented.”

D Councillor Moulton to move:
“Southampton City Council deplores the way in which the Labour Government has treated the 16-19 age group colleges in the City, promising substantial sums of money for additional or new build, then reneging upon their promises, and thereby causing much abortive expenditure and serious demoralisation. Southampton City Council wishes to record its appreciation of the work of the Heads and Staff of the Colleges in educating our young people. Furthermore it calls on the Government to refund in full the City’s colleges any abortive expenditure on preparing for the rebuilds.”
