I've just got back from that meeting where I watched from the cheap seats. This was an SCDC cabinet meeting, where eight senior councillors decide most of the key issues these days. I'll probably write a fuller report later as I was taking notes. Milton PC had agreed at our meeting on Monday to write to all cabinet members expressing our unhappiness about the car parking proposal, the loss of work experience opportunities for Cambridge Mencap, and the failure of SCDC to carry out its original plan of trying to outsource management of the park and they all had copies. In essence after a lot of speeches in opposition from cabinet members and other councillors, mainly about the cafe proposal rather than the car parking it must be said, the decision was deferred at Cllr Roberts request (as she could see the way the wind was blowing) with an amendment from our Cllr Summerfield that officers should complete the exercise of going out to tender for external management of the park. Cllr Roberts was not please with this turn of events as her comments to me afterwards made clear ... > Should be on the tele too.
