Motion 1
This council believes that women who choose to breastfeed should be supported and respected. Breastfeeding has many benefits for children and mothers including
? Reducing the likelihood of a mother contacting breast cancer by up to 20% and also reduces risk of ovarian cancer and developing cardiovascular disease.
? Reducing stress levels and the risk of postpartum depression.
? Protects the baby from a long list of illnesses including respiratory infections, diabetes and gastroenteritis.
? Reduces likelihood of a child developing allergies.
? May boost the child's intelligence and reduce their likelihood of being obese in later life.
However recent events have shown that many women who want to breastfeed feel unable to do so when out of the home and Britain continues to have low rates of breastfeeding take up especially after 3 months (17%), four months (12%) and six months (1%).
This Council commits to promote breastfeeding and to work towards providing suitable facilities for breastfeeding within its own buildings and to encourage partners to do likewise.
Proposer: Councillor Roxanne Ellis
Seconder: Councillor Wheeler

This Council notes Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary's warning that they have a 'growing concern that neighbourhood policing is being eroded. The already thin blue line in our communities is narrowing still further."

This Council recognises the difficulty faced by the Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner in dealing with the £47m central government cut to Nottinghamshire's police budget since the 2010 Spending Review.
