    Report: Full Council meeting 12/11/24
    Nov 17 2024
    In a meeting where who wrote what, to whom, and when became much more contentious than you’d normally think, we take a look at Tuesday's Full Council meeting. Where was there consensus, where was there robust debate, and where was there political point scoring? Items on the agenda were:- • Definitions of sexism, homophobia, biphobia and transphobia • Tackling the crisis in temporary accommodation • Social Media Policy for Councillors • Increase in the single capped Bus fare from £2 to £3 • Nominations for Honorary Alderman • Support for the Repair Cafes - Portsmouth • CPO ‘Hope Value’ Sites How many questions of cabinet members did the councillors have? Last month there were 16. This time was it higher or lower? Links to hear the motions in full are on our website. www.pppodcast.uk
