| "Labour's 5 local election pledges were unanimously adopted by Borough Council and we intend to honour them within the boundaries of the current financial settlement." Councillor Mayne, It is a shame you had to spoil your previous postings with this disingenuous statement. If anyone wishes to read the motion I proposed (I am guessing that this is what you are referring to), it can be read on the following link (agenda item 15) from a meeting in July 2010: http://democraticservices.hounslow.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=254&MId=5695&Ver=4 I was very clear that what I supported (and wished well) were the pledges as they were understood and received by residents. Please see items 11 & 13 of the above link where questions exposed some of changes of a pledge pre-to-post election. Just in case, you try and claim that the above is not correct, I refer you to the minutes of the above meeting where comments made can be seen: http://democraticservices.hounslow.gov.uk/mgConvert2PDF.aspx?ID=53588 You could provide a link to substantiate your claim? Or you could simply admit you are wrong? There is a substantial difference between what went out in leaflets in your ward and other wards in the Borough to what are now Council Pledges. As the above indicates, the pledge that has caused most of us in the Conservative Group concern is that one you are responsible for. There is a big difference between 100 police officers in each area (there are 5 areas in the Borough so 500 police in total) to 100 items of clothing for existing officers of the Council. |
