12. Motions
The following motions have been received in accordance with Procedure Rule 16: 12.1 The following motion has been received from Councillor A. N. Mosley: Given that it is halfway into the current Administration's term of office and one year into that of the Tory led coalition Government's, this council is increasingly concerned at the serious and irreparable harm being imposed as a consequence of the swingeing cuts in our budget. We can identify significant cuts in service levels, rising fees and charges, increasing concerns amongst residents, low staff morale and a general demise in the principles of public service which will particularly impact on our more vulnerable residents. We also recognise that this downward process will accelerate as the full implications of the MTFP become clearer. We are also aware of cuts being imposed on our public sector stakeholders and hence, the cumulative effects on residents. We therefore call upon all political groups in Shropshire to make urgent representations to their MP colleagues and ministers, urging that they change current economic policy as leading to public sector cuts which are unfair, too deep and too rapid. Moreover such policies are not conducive to growth and economic recovery. 12.2 The following motion has been received from Councillor J. Tandy: In light of news that various supermarkets in Shrewsbury plan to apply either to increase the size of existing stores or to build a new store, as well as the concerns about parking charges recently expressed by businesses in Shrewsbury town centre, this Council will review its parking fees structure and Park & Ride fares in Shrewsbury and also work with all of the town's businesses to increase footfall.
