Cambridge City Council's Cabinet meeting on 16 October will consider the council's position on the updated EHRC code of practice, which will likely be a controversial issue. In the last decade two Labour councillors have quit the council over trans issues. democracy.cambridge.gov.uk/d…
Another controversial issue to be considered by the same cabinet meeting is whether the council should fly the Palestinian flag from the Guildhall on 29 November to mark the UN’s International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. democracy.cambridge.gov.uk/d…

Labour out canvassing in Petersfield, where city council leader Katie Thornburrow's seat will be up for election in May. We're just getting to that time of year when residents' concerns about potholes start to overtake their concerns about overgrown weeds. facebook.com/katiecampaign/p…

Government statement on local government reorganisation - it is still going ahead; Cambridgeshire & Peterborough will get a decision "by early next year". Elections to the new councils will be held in May 2028; they'll take over fully in April 2029. gov.uk/government/news/local…

The Greater Cambridge Development Corporation publishes 158 pages of papers from its board meeting last week. As well as establishing a transparency policy, the board discussed some items which were so secret that they were redacted from the agenda. thecgc.org.uk/files/261020.B…
