I’ve sat in on Planning Application considerations and heard comments from so called democratically elected Cllrs. who are supposed to be unbiased either way. Comments such as ‘We’ve messed these applicants about long enough’ and ‘We’re going to lose this one if we’re not careful’. What sort of unbiased attitude is that?

It had to be said David, and I think a very succinct email, one which should prick a conscience or two if not provoke a reply. I would very much like to echo your sentiments and add that I too am extremely dissapointed by the lack of support during our campaign, and moreover the empty gestures that “they were working behind the scenes on our behalf”. Well I for one can’t think of anything that came from behind the scenes to help us. Better luck next time with a new set of councillors that have some b###s.

Well done David. It would be pointless me writing to the councillors involved because I live outside the area and they do not represent me. So I’ve been on to the “writetothem” website as you suggested and have chosen to write to Baroness Andrews in the House of Lords as she seems to have an interest in local government issues and the Ombudsman. I have asked her to let me know who else would be interested in this “alleged maladministration” and I shall then write to to them. If she doesn’t respond then I shall just “blanket cover” all the Lords who appear to have an interest. The more the merrier and I hope that everyone who cares either writes a letter or sends an email in support of the campaign to either a local counsellor, a minister or a member of the House of Lords.
Local government and former local government officers may be closing ranks but that doesn’t mean we have to give up.
