General Discussion

Hang on a minute! Hang on! If there was no question on the consultation paper asking whether or not people thought there should be a playpark on the lawn then how can anyone claim that 76.9% thought it was a good idea? Am I missing something here? As I understand it, the questions were concerned with where on the lawn the playpark should be located not whether or not there should ...

So.......the only way to gain the experience necessary to be a councillor is by having been a er.............councillor? And as for a working party. Would those on it be elected on to it or would they be self selecting?
