Councillor Roles

[OutOfFocus]

It may be interesting to note that two Goose Green councillors have cabinet roles :

• James McAsh - Cabinet Member for the Climate Emergency, Clean Air and Streets
• Portia Mwangangye  -- Deputy Cabinet Member for Young People

The first might be relevant to Lime bikes and similar!

The Cabinet changes are due to the resignation of Newington Ward Cllr Alice Macdonald who is moving to Norwich to fight for a Commons seat in Norwich for Labour.

A by-election will be held in Newington Ward in due course.

Does this mean James McAsh will take over the rollout of CPZ? Cllr Rose is on the record this month saying she is personally determined to make the whole Borough CPZ. Will he follow this hard line?

It does rather make a nonsense of consultation. Cllr Rose rather gave the impression that the purpose of consultation, in her mind anyway, is to sell the council agenda, not so much to listen.

Others may correct me but I do not recall any mention in the Southwark Labour 2022 manifesto of a pledge to make the whole borough CPZ, this seems to have crept in after?

What is the probability that any conversation will eventually lead to either CPZ or LTN

Pretty high when a thread starts off talking about the cabinet member for streets?
