8.	Notice of Motion PDF 20 KB View item 8. as HTML 19 KB The Chairman has directed under Standing Order 36.9 (1) that the following Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor Taylor shall stand referred to the County Council. We are concerned about the behaviour of some elected representatives in relation to the potential housing of asylum seekers in the Crowborough Training Camp. This is resulting in insecurity for residents and elected representatives. A strong moral leadership is essential and we, as the principal council, need to openly demonstrate positive behaviour in line with our code of conduct and the Nolan Principles, and to model behaviour that reduces hate and actively promotes community cohesion for all residents whether they be temporary or permanent residents. The motion: This Council calls on the Leader to: · Publicly condemn all forms of political discourse that inflame hatred and encourage racism in our communities. · Publicly condemn misinformation or inflammation of hate against any resident, business owner, local official or elected representatives across East Sussex. · Remind Councillors that they must abide by the spirit and the letter of the Code of Conduct and Nolan principles to which we subscribe. · Encourage officers and relevant Councillors to collaborate and work together to ensure safety and security for all residents within the area.
