Tonight’s full Council meeting was up to its usual standards of joy and happinessĀ for all.
Apparently anyone who mentions that successive Conservative and Labour governments have closed Post Offices is ‘playing politics’. The Conservative group tried a ‘delete all and insert’ type amendment to try and hide their shame of having begun the closure programme back in the mid-1990s, which was not accepted. Labour councillor Francis Durham, was his normal self and informed us that whatever the Labour government did was nothing to do wth him and he couldn’t influence it in any way!
We were then treated to opposition councillors asking questions from Part II papers that they knew the Executive Member could not answer publicly, then using that to call for his resignation.
Even my motions on Post Offices and phone masts couldn’t cheer things up!
