"At the end of last year we participated in the Sunday Times Best Companies Workforce Survey. We've just received initial results and they do not show any significant problem of staff morale. What we actually face, as an organisation, is a time of challenge that will require us all to find new ways of doing things - so I see it as an interesting and stimulating time to work in local government.
So far, despite reductions in some funding streams we have not had to make any significant cuts in services. Indeed, by achieving efficiency savings of over £10m for 2010/11 we have been able to invest nearly £6m in new or expanded services."

"Why isn't Defence spending "ringfenced"
The whole country see's defence as a hugely important issue yet foreign aid will be protected in spending terms and would apparently be more important than the defence of theUnited Kingdom.

"In the remarks on Arrse the Conservative position is to have an SDR as soon as possible and to run at the same time a restructuring of MoD and defence Procurement. Would it not be sensible to wait the outcome of the SDR so that we have the Defence Procurement that is required and the Ministry of Defence organised to properly fit the requirements of the Forces. It would seem that MoD restructuring along with Defence Procurement changes would mean that the SDR would have to be tailored to meet these requirements rather than actual defence requirements."

"I nominate David Howarth MP (Lib Dem, Cambridge). Since his election in 2005 he has been a principled and honest MP, who has always stood up for the rights of not just his constituents but everyone in Britain. His defence of the right to protest and his exposure of the dangers of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 was sterling work. He has also been a model constituency MP, always listening to the people who elected him and gaining respect from many in Cambridge who don't share his political philosophy."

Please bring our boys back, don't let them die for
Hamid Karzai who is not worth apenny.
If you really want all these conflicts to finiish, please speak the truth about Palestine suffering and Israel brutality."
