Tory Cllr Buston: "I've supported many speeches until they started to poke political figners. Right to Buy has no effect to Council stock. The Council can't use the capital for the house. It went wrong with the proceeds. It should have been used to build more houses" #Colchester

Tory Cllr Laws: "There are things within our gift, we need to talk about these. People want to live in the SE, they want to live in #Colchester. I can't support the Motion but I'm happy to be part of this conversation about what we can do in this place."

Lab's Cllr J Young: "You can't pass a council house to your family. We need to work together. I'm pleased with the Renter's Reform Bill in the King's Speech. I don't think a #Colchester moritorium is even possible."

Cllr King: "This is signal sending." And that's positive?

LibDem Housing Motion approve purely on party political lines. Lab pals backed up the LibDems. Tory Group abstained. Full Council is not whipped. Nope #Colchester

LibDem Cllr Goss: "There is nothing this Council can do to influence management companies, apart from harassing and embarassing them" #Colchester

Lab Cllr Scordis: "I can't think of a bigger con than management companies."

Lab Cllr J Young on management companies: "I've fought the West Quay developers in #Wivenhoe for 20 years. Part of the footpath is falling into the river." Really?

Cllr Dundas summing up his Management Companies Motion. Voted unanimoulsy #Colchester

Finail item is Q's to Councillors. We're done. BAILING. Cheers for your company. Until next time. Maybe...

If you listened to the debate, you would have heard that the objections were about the way you attempted to politicise the Police. Alternatives and co-operation were offered. You were in your tribal bunker at the time #Colchester

Trying to get to the workshop and we’re stuck! Good luck getting a buggy or wheelchair through there. Surely this is unacceptable and unsustainable on every level? Engine running behind me too “it’s nice and cool in here” Last mile delivery needs to happen Colchester City Council FedEx
