Questions Update

With the Lib Dems on the Borough Council having "declined to answer" the 18 questions listed in my post below, the Independent group decided to resubmit them along with another 77 questions that the iliberal undemocrats have also decided to ignore, to next Mondays Full Council meeting . We changed each and every question slightly, as the exact same question under the council constitution cannot be asked twice in a six month period. The Borough solicitor however is now considering disallowing all 95 questions on the grounds that they are not different enough from the first lot of questions, even though the first lost of questions were never answered ! We won't know the outcome of his deliberations until Monday but it seems as if his mind is already made up. This means then that we will not be able to resubmit these questions now until the Council meeting in June, where of course the same apologists for local politicians that call themselves "Liberal" and "Democrats" can simply "decline to answer" them all over again. So much for open democracy and local accountability.
