Background Information: The appointment of commissioners to the Conservators of the River Cam by Cambridge City Council is set out in the 1922 River Cam Conservancy Act. Council appointees to the Conservancy should be in place by 1st Jan 2025. The next meeting of Council is on 24th February 2025. An urgent decision under Paragraph 2, Section 9 of the Constitution, is necessary now to enable appointees to attend Conservancy meetings before the next Full Council meeting. Appointments are made on the recommendation of the Executive Councillor for Open Spaces & City Services. Appointees have been selected based on their ability to support the development and delivery of plans to remediate Bait’s Bite and Jesus Green locks which were closed temporarily on 21 May 2024 due to concerns about their structural integrity.
