The remaining motions listed on the agenda, as set out below, lapsed due to lack of time:
12.2 In the name of Councillor Lavender
“Enfield Council welcomes the Government’s support not to increase Council tax for the third year running and undertakes to support this policy and Enfield Council tax payers.”
12.3 In the name of Councillor Neville
“Enfield Council congratulates Councillor Bond on his partial U turn on Sunday car parking charges in Enfield Town. The Council welcomes a free 3 hour car parking period on Sundays in Enfield Town in the weeks from around Christmas 2012 and urges Councillor Bond to complete his U turn and offer free car parking all day all year on Sundays in Enfield Town.”
12.5 In the name of Councillor McGowan
“The Council notes the scandalously poor handling of the economy by the Chancellor and his allies in Government. The Council is concerned that despite unprecedented cuts to public services, this economic mismanagement will result in even further cuts to local authorities.
The Council agrees to write to the 3 local MPs asking them to write to the Chancellor expressing opposition to any further cuts to local government, and Enfield in particular, whether in terms of cuts to core funding, recalculations of entitlements, or to specific grants.”
12.6 In the name of Councillor Bond
“The impact of Government cuts is impacting on Enfield residents and the Council should advise the Government on alternatives. Therefore the Council calls upon the Prime Minister to vote against any increase in the EU budget. Hard working Enfield families will not accept any increase in the EU budget.”
12.7 In the name of Councillor Taylor
“Enfield Council recognises the partial funding for a Council Tax freeze in 2013/14 but calls upon the Government to properly fund Enfield Council including the removal of damping.”
