In the Newbury Weekly today is the news that Cllr Ruwan Uduwerage-Perera has resigned from the Town Council for what he says is the failure of the Council to serve the public.
RUP was reported to have queried why the Council had not claimed on £50k worth of legal expenses insurance, and I think there are some questions to be asked about how that legitimate query precipitated his being elbowed out of the deputy-leader role, and now out of the council altogether. Do you still have confidence that the Town Council are serving the public? -------------------- Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!

What is the cover up? Is the 'error' required to be minuted or written down, or recorded? Are you saying that the problem should have been discussed and published? Other than the mistake, what has not happened that is meant to have happened?
As for resigning. I feel that is a reasonable thing to do, BUT, but not resigning and allowing a process to go through, you would have more power to expose the miss management. |

Andy Capp, If I had anything to hide, and I was not happy to answer my critics then I would hardly be challenging the Council still? As for the four year cover up, do you not believe that the public should be made aware of this, and do you not further think that the Council Leadership should have to answer why this happened?

I doubt you have anything to hide, BUT, you have de-powered yourself and have removed yourself from censure. A cynic could be forgiven in thinking that you are not being completely honest with your endeavours.

A cover up is a positive action, a deliberate act to make information unavailable. Keeping quiet, which is what appears to have happened here, is not quite the same thing. I feel to give credence to what you have danced around for a while now, you should spit it out and give a full account. Name names and say what they have done wrong. However, from the limited knowledge I have of the situation, it seems clear to me that the leader of the council should do the honourable thing. His tenure has been marred with poor performance. |
