Rumour in the City Chambers - from several sources, so that's as good as true in local politics - is that the ruling Coalition are all geared up to rebuff absolutely any deputation requests for the 21st February budget-setting, Council meeting ... unless there is an absolutely specific item on the agenda that relates to their request?
Now, I'm inclined to give the benefit of the doubt just now - surely they wouldn't be stupid enough to try and repeat the stunt they pulled during the August school closure saga?? ... after all, that all went so well for them :-(
Hopefully all community centre management committees will get in there...... Time for a few home truths.
ReplyDelete... make sure the requests are in, in good time!
ReplyDeleteI believe that several are already in. I'd thought that the deadline was up to the day before the meeting. Am I wrong?
ReplyDeleteNo, you're correct - I just feel that leaving it very late gives no time to argue against any potential refusals!
ReplyDeleteThere's always storming the chamber
ReplyDelete... of course, not something I would condone :-(
