It looks like being a lively evening at the council meeting next week. Various proposals have been made, for example, reducing the number of cabinet members.
I’ve been to several council meetings now, I’ve noticed during all this time several councillors have had nothing to say whatsoever. Some have sat through meetings playing with their new i-phones! (I was sitting five feet behind him...)
Why do we need to ask some councillors some 3 times to reply to e-mails and letters?
Why can’t we have a swift polite response system?
Why are we ‘paying’ people who have nothing to contribute?
Why are we 'paying' councillors who have no interest in our area to chair Neighbourhood meetings?
Why do we have so many councillors and cabinet members?
How about a 3 strike method? Don't attend or be absent 3 times, be it a council meeting or a commitee and you automatuically forfeit your seat (plus allowances uplift) on it?

Julian Bray adds: And for the Councillor who bleated he pays tax on the allowances, get an accountant! No tax payble if they are claimed as expenses but that will require receipts (back to back to back triple cruise invoices, as one PCC councillor is currently on - not accepted!)
