The West/Central Area Committee meeting descended in to low farce. The committee, including three ‘Executive’ councillors, could not work out how money from developers – paid under ‘Section 106’ – was allocated in the city. This followed a question asking why most of the development was in Castle Ward but the S106 projects listed in the agenda were in Newnham. 

As the independent member noted, “Councillors don’t understand the rules of the game”.

The Lib Dems have run Cambridge City Council for a long time now, there are no excuses.
