A lot of questions tend to be asked about traffic and parking issues which need to be taken up with LCC.
I have also recentlyish seen a decision change from that planned after taking into account the discussion at the meeting.

Neil That's what area councils should be doing, the problem is in the council itself. There is no opportunity for councillors who not in the cabinet to ask questions on any subject, and that includes Tory councillors.
It is partly down to changes in local government, that replaced the old committee system with an all powerful cabinet. But has to be said that Peter has to take some of the blame. He just will not let any councillor speak or ask questions.
