| David you seem to have forgotten that Cllr Sharma the Leader of the Council himself stated that Borough Council meetings were to be reduced this year and that was one of the reasons that members allowances were to be reduced slightly It is also the Mayor who decides on cancelling Borough meetings so I am not sure why you and Ruth are attaching blame on Cllr Thompson for doing so in the past when their was a lack of business to discuss The fact id that the indefinite adjournment on Tuesday evening was a gross act of cowardice by the Labour Administration and the latest act by them in their quest to push through any policy they wish without any interference We have already seen at the Isleworth and Brentford Area Committee that Labour have now discouraged the open forum so any questions that residents may wish to ask now have to be submitted in advance and in writing and also that your group intend throwing staff from the Scrutiny Dept on the dole The less Borough meetings held will of course also deny non executive councillors the chance to present motions or ask questions of the Lead Members and this in my opinion at least a very dangerous road that you are heading on. You all seem to have conviniently forgotten the Special Council Meeting called a few months ago regarding twinning Hounslow with a town in Palastine so the pot calling the kettle black I think What exactly are your group trying to hide from? |
