'SUPERCOUNCILLOR SUTTON' APPEARS AT SCRUTINY

This afternoon saw the Scrutiny Committee. Went reasonably well with some tough questioning of the Care, Health & Housing Cabinet Member on the proposed Wightcare privatisation. However, there was 'Supercouncillor Sutton' along to ride shotgun and to help out when there were difficulties. I hope this isn't a sign of the future. We either have a Cabinet or its a case of the 'Man with Seven Portfolios' and we just ask him along for all enquiries ! Now to put our Report together.....

Interestingly there were a dozen or so members of the public present - some from Wightcare - and the County Press, but not a single councillor other than those on the Committee or called before it. Must be a good dinner tonight !!!
