  1. @KimSJ @urlyman Wasn't asked in any of my vetting sessions!

    One "feature" of #Cambridge is that whatever you decide, as an amateur volunteer (ie councillor), there will be amongst your constituents a world class expert on the subject who will tell you what you've got wrong.

  6. @eco-g From what I remember from dealing with residential moorings in #Cambridge the rules can change from council to council and time to time. It's not as if "everybody knows" what they are. If you're paying your mooring fee to the council they're quite likely to tell you the rest of the rules - but a private marina??

    Some of our boat dwellers have the boat as their registered address for voting. There are various opinions as to whether or not they should be allowed residents' parking permits. It all gets rather complicated.

  11. St Bene't's is reviving the tradition of #BeatingTheBounds, noting that "Every square inch of England is in one parish or another", & that we have a duty of care to "the land beneath and the skies above".

  16. @matthewbadger @benjamin @c_9 The relationship between elected councillors and the paid staff can be quite complex, that was just one detail.

    For my own contribution, take a look at #Cambridge. The city-wide 20mph scheme was my project.

  21. 2/4 These are fields - media and cultural studies and cultural theory - that are increasingly being framed as problematic, both ideologically and instrumentally. Yet they have played an important role in challenging the elitist tendencies of the mainstream, including those surrounding #socialmobility. If only either Seddon or Rajan had attended one of these institutions instead of having the disadvantage of studying for an undergraduate degree at #Oxford and #cambridge.

    Still, we shouldn’t be surprised. This is, after all, a conversation on the #BBC between two Oxbridge-educated figures – albeit one is from South London the other West Yorkshire – taking about how social mobility might be used to include more people from #workingclass backgrounds in the system as it currently exists. It’s a social and educational system that was constructed in advance, although not by working-class people themselves, of course. A system that has in fact historically exploited and marginalised them.
