Re: Full Council Meeting - 14th September

If it has then I'm not aware of it, although I imagine out of respect they'll be holding off until after John Griffiths' funeral which took place this morning.

Re: Full Council Meeting - 14th September

The by-election must be in October so why wait till December?

For a Conservative apologist with a Political Studies background you don't really seem to have a full grasp of how the system works...

Re: Full Council Meeting - 14th September

Technically we don't.

The balance is 17-17 if you want to lump the Independent councillors in with Labour, but we have no control over how they vote, however likely it may seem that they would...

Re: Full Council Meeting - 14th September

It's not so much that we refuse to do so but it would be a very heavy-handed thing to do to the Chief Executive, especially when he does everything by the book. In my opinion he is the best man for...

Re: Full Council Meeting - 14th September

I personally am satisfied with the options presented to us by officials and the Mayor and that due procedure has been followed. The Labour group have no problem with rescheduling full council in the...

Re: Full Council Meeting - 14th September

Precisely Margaret, but Britcliffe has been watching the same YouTube clips as you and is well ahead of the game. Avoiding failure is the reason behind the complete cancellation of September's full...

Re: Full Council Meeting - 14th September

I'd agree that things are currently being held back but in Hyndburn we have a controlling group who don't have overall control and so rather than allow democracy to take her own majestic course we...

Re: Full Council Meeting - 14th September

Read the thread, old boy.

Cancel tonight's meeting as a mark of respect, no one has a problem with that.

Refuse to rearrange a replacement until December, after the by-election and when the...

Re: Full Council Meeting - 14th September

We would have been, John. Gladly and with massive bells on, only Brother Peter has used an extremely sad event for political gain.

I'm going to be tactful, but there's no easy way to break it to...

Re: Full Council Meeting - 14th September

Not strictly speaking.

The Mayor is actually doing a good job of trying to maintain a level of dignity within the council despite one particular councillor exerting undue pressure on him to...

Re: Full Council Meeting - 14th September

My dear Cashy, it's both relevant and important to the borough, would be an extremely popular move for whoever got it sorted out and reflect very badly on Peter Britcliffe for buggering it up in the...

Re: Full Council Meeting - 14th September

I've just had my reply and the procedures have been followed to the letter by the council officials and the Mayor.

An attempt to reschedule the council meeting for next week failed to reach a...

Re: Full Council Meeting - 14th September

My apologies if you've taken offence, but it's only taken me about three months to discover that if Peter Britcliffe wants something then it happens, regardless of the Constitution. It rankles me...

Re: Full Council Meeting - 14th September

Bless you, my child.

You're talking as if the current Leader of the Council pays any heed to the document. The Constitution is merely an irritating itch that happens to double as an outsize...

Re: Full Council Meeting - 14th September

He would have had a hell of a say in it though and given the expected nature of tonight's meeting and the likely outcomes it all rings true. Peter Britcliffe really does need replacing as Leader of...

It's not the best thing to keep your hands warm anyway.

I've heard that the new trading agreements burn particularly well.

Re: Full Council Meeting - 14th September

I don't know, if you turn up the heat and give it a good roasting you might get something palatable out of it.

Do you know if Accrington Market are big on turkeys this year?

Re: Full Council Meeting - 14th September

Don't fancy that at all. It's all flabby with very little substance.

I suppose there's always a turkey?

Re: Full Council Meeting - 14th September

Initially, the Leader of the Council wasn't going to cancel it but something must have changed up at Scaitcliffe House today.

Re: Full Council Meeting - 14th September

The gallery isn't huge but there's room for an uncomfortable number of voters to watch Britcliffe worm his way out of answering any direct questions.
