| Jim, Your post focuses solely upon Councillors, the focus (admittedly not the sole focus) of LBH Watch (reading the first post of this thread) seems to be the conduct of Officers. As I said previously, all this talk about Officers obstructing Councillors etc, or more precisely a small group of Councillors belonging to one group/party, is something that I've never seen happen in reality. I still personally have serious reservations, and having seen it happen at other Councils with my own eyes I hope we're never going to embrace a culture where a Council officer is expected to do exactly what a Councillor wants and if they don't then they're for the chop, in the same way I wouldn't support a culture where Councillors are expected to rubber stamp whatever Officers tell them. |
