'BEYOND THE PALE'

I am now categorised with the so-called 'difficult' Council Tax papers, just because I sent three emails to the Chairman of the Council in the space of about 10 days.

The subjects were - 1. the cost of his Cowes Week Reception; 2. religious toleration at Full Council; 3. getting Cabinet members to respond to a Scrutiny 'call-in'.

I have been told that the Council's Solicitor (aka the Deputy Chief Executive) will reply on the Chairman's behalf to this 'flurry' of emails. Perhaps the Chairman should try dealing with my email Inbox !

So I am left waiting for answers to very straightforward questions ...... what wonderful communications this Council has, when a councillor has to have a solicitor replying to his emails.

Surely as the chairman of the Council it is his job to reply to such queries.

If he can't manage this then he shouldn't be chairman.

And what's happened to the Communications & Public Relations Manager? Where's she gone, eh?

Where indeed ? And the member of the Director's Group ?
