Council Meetings a disgrace!
Councillor Alan Taylor said, "It is quite obvious that we need to look at how meetings are conducted. There was a very simple reason why the Council Meeting overran - There were 6 Notice of Motions and the amendments that came with them. The Liberal Democrats have long understood the importance of Notices of Motion to shape Council Policy and the difference with this meeting was that for a change - Labour and the Conservatives put three in too. Councillor Rush's motion was excellent and will contribute significantly to the fight against the anti-social use of off-road bikes. The personal attacks from all sides of this chamber must stop though - we need to concentrate on Council Policy.
