MOTIONS

A Councillor Baston to move:

“This Council fully supports the hard working staff within the NHS services which serve our city, particularly during the present pandemic flu outbreak.

Council therefore condemns the views of one of the Region's Members of the European Parliament, Conservative Daniel Hannan, who has publicly condemned the NHS as a "60 year old mistake".

Council is further concerned that remarks made by Mr Hannan as one of our elected representatives has caused damage to the reputation of the NHS locally, nationally and internationally, putting at risk the positive working relationship between the Council and NHS in our City”.

B Councillor R Williams to move:

“Council notes its serious concern about the worsening situation with
regards to injury compensation claims against SCC for trips and falls
on the City’s pavements. Council calls on the Executive to make
pavement maintenance a priority in their forthcoming budget proposals at least equal to that of the attention currently given to roads maintenance”
