Any Cllr who thinks that this is about a change to a constitution needs to wake up smell the coffee, it has been clearly shown that CC's can alter THEIR constitutions if they want to.

This is about staff wanting to keep control, Cllrs you now have a chance to prove that you are working for us.

Actually thinking about it, they attempted to take over NMCC just before the mosque business....do they have more unpleasant plans on the agenda for the areas under attack?

We all know that some of our Cllrs are really good people at heart, unfortunately the administration Cllrs are bullied into voting with the cabinet. Then we have the 'opposition' who I do not think can understand the nuances about this topic and will vote with the administration.

Apologies, I never spotted Cllr. Hay's name in the original posting. He is not a NM Cllr. Maybe we could do a buy one get one free (BOGOF) and swap him for the other two? We could hardly see any less of him.

Of all the matters that councillors will vote on this for me is the most important, nothing to do with the LDP, green belt, or mosques. This is about nothing other than straight out democracy, and if the vote goes against democracy I will forget voting for any party.

Yes they do. Remember the LDP in effect only zones land for development. We have the public enquiry next and they don't want us there. Residents need their CCs far more now than ever before. Just not sure enough of them realise it yet.
Still nothing like a field of bulldozers at the bottom of residents gardens for them to wake up and smell the coffee. Pity it'll be too late by then.
Btw the M77 was a carpark till after 10.30am this morning. Creaking infrastructure under overload or what?
