QUOTE (On the edge @ Jan 10 2017, 12:00 PM) In order to salvage something would it not be worth getting rid of the District Auditor? Or is that yet just another sinecure role, like the WBC standards committee. Not much point paying for a blind, mute watchdogs. Blind mute watchdogs that are from the same cosy little club of those they are supposedly auditing/regulating?

I see Swift Half has been elected Chairman of Greenham Parish and has stated : "Taking the chair Mr Swift-Hook said he was confident that the council would make “good” decisions going forward." I suppose their is always the chance that he may be able to make a good decision after all his time of making bad ones over the years?

QUOTE (On the edge @ Jan 15 2017, 09:42 PM) One point which comes across in the report is that the working group seemed to ride roughshod over any even minor challenges, demonstrating behaviours that could be construed as bullying! Rather odd that the LibDems haven't censured anyone yet! It's not bullying if carried out by a member of the club of course!

Just had a look t the Control Tower report - it's here if you haven't seen it. It's quite miserable reading, but the thing that jumped out at me was that it was published January 2016 and it would seem as though the council have sat on it for a year. I see from the council's web site that another councillor has abandoned ship too.

Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!

Yes Swift Half must have enough yes men although they will have to do as they are told of course or suffer the consequences!

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Jan 19 2017, 10:10 PM) It would seem the council have withdrawn things from the 'plan' that might mean it won't meet HSE requirements anyway. They've also economised by decided not to fit it out as a cafe and not to do anything of the interpretation so it won't even function as a cafe or museum!
