"PATHETIC" SCRUTINY


I tried to get the 8 non-Tories on the Scrutiny Committee to call-in the recent Cabinet decision on Schools Re-organisation - the one that puts out to consultation the closure of 19 schools. I thought it was quite important........

Sadly only THREE of the four required agreed - Cllrs Gardiner (Labour), Cllr Mosdell (Non-aligned) and Churchman (Tory rebel). The Liberal member said his 'executive' had decided against - though his non-voting colleague representing the town & parish councils said he agreed; the other 4 didn't even trouble themselves with a response.

I referred to 'poodles' last autumn. Then there was one - now there are more!
