In response to the publication the of local councils’ draft ‘issues and options’ Local Plan document, Cllr Tim Bick, Lib Dem group leader on Cambridge City Council, issued the following comment: 

Following a consultation, it has been announced that Jesus Green Lido will open into the autumn and winter months. Cllr Tim Bick, who brought a motion in favour of extended opening months, said:

Chesterton residents were shocked this week when the Labour City Council announced 8am tree works at 5.30pm the night before, which would have seen trees on Alexandra Gardens irreparably cut back and lose 70% of their canopy.  However, the works were halted on Tuesday when residents staged a breakfast protest underneath the affected trees. More people joined the protest on Wednesday morning.

Cambridge Liberal Democrats have expressed their intense frustration after a Labour County Councillor on the Highways Committee voted with the Conservatives to re-open Mill Road bridge to all traffic, turning away from sensible compromises which could have brought the community together.

Cllr Tim Bick this week welcomed the council’s response to his motion calling for options to be examined to open the Jesus Green Lido beyond the summer season. 

Cambridge Liberal Democrats and Pesticide-Free Cambridge welcome moves towards making City pesticide-free, despite removal of key deadlines from council motion by Labour group.

A call to the government to pull back from its sweeping changes to the planning system is to be made by Liberal Democrat councillor Ingrid Flaubert at Cambridge City Council’s meeting on Thursday.

The Lib Dems have expressed disappointment this week, after the long awaited proto-type demountable market stalls arrived at the market for testing to less than lukewarm reviews from the market traders.

Cllr Tim Bick is to ask Cambridge City Council to consider opening its open air Jesus Green Lido all the year round.
