@1263 Officers are Council staff employed in the various departments from waste and recycling, to housing, electoral services, etc, as opposed to elected members (Councillors). Officers do not make unilateral decions, they are accountable to senior staff and Cllrs on the Committe that relates to their specific department. Under Wrigley much decision making has been taken away from Officers, ...
I have no idea of the whys and wherefores of decisions made by and at TDC. However, I do know, having worked in local governemnt myself at one time, that decisions are indeed made by officers (ie employees of the council). The first any members (councillors) may know about any decisions made by officers (employees) is if that officer decision proves contentious. I'd say that at an ...
I know that was one of your priorities however one swallow does not make a summer with the latest relevations that the lid dem teignbridge council wanted to charge rent for the nhs to park the cancer screening truck on council land. Wrigley excuse for this was that it was the fault of an "officer" who had taken this decision on their own. As regards the ambiguity around " officer" does that mean ...

(child care provision being a Devon County Council ...
@1263 The was the case in the past. however under the Lib Dem/Tory coalition of the previous administration in Teignbridge District Council (of which Wrigley was in the Executive) they passed a motion whereby it's now only a conflict of interest if it involves your spouse. Pretty dodgy hey? You can request to see the constitutiion which it seems the Lib Dems change at will as it suits their ...
Surely bullivant would have to register conflict of interests in any votes regarding development issues or not vote on them if his son is a developer?
@1263 Wrigley is still the Leader of Teignbridge District Council and Teignbridge Lib Dems. That hasn't changed, they just elect a new chair and vice chair of the Council each year in May. Wrigley wouldn't cede any power he's too much of a control freak. So far he's doing a great job of ensuring he won't win the General election. He's too stupid to realize that if you want to get elected in a ...
What a shame that we have to rely on this in the 21st century.
