• at a meeting on 7 July, the Cabinet will consider a report in support of   the objectives of a budget amendment to implement Liberal Democrat proposals on reopening Parker’s Piece and Quayside toilets, and the resourcing of council delivery of street cleaning, and public realm enforcement, which would be implemented at the earliest possible opportunity in the current financial year.

• In the interim, steps will be taken to hire additional staff on a temporary basis to increase street cleansing and public realm enforcement in the city centre during the busy summer months.
