Yesterday I was elected as Leader of the Cambridge City Labour Group, and Councillor Rosy Moore (Coleridge) was elected as Deputy Leader. In a post on the Cambridge Labour website I said:
‘As Leader I am here to serve our community and ensure that every resident’s voice is heard as we work to make Cambridge a great place to live for all. I’m proud that under Labour Cambridge City Council has worked to tackle inequality and reduced our carbon emissions by 50%. I will ensure we continue to prioritise the climate and biodiversity crises, protect the environment, and support residents through the cost of living crisis we are facing.
‘I am very grateful to Cameron Holloway and Rachel Wade for their leadership of the council last year. We will continue to work hard to build more council homes, tackle homelessness, and provide high quality services for Cambridge residents.’
On Thursday 21st May Cambridge City Council will hold its AGM and the Leader and Cabinet will be chosen by councillors. I’ll write more after that meeting.
Details of the Council AGM, and how to watch it online, are on the City Council website.
