Who mentioned councillors?

The question was a general one, and could refer to anything from a member becoming a moderator, to a Member of Parliament.

To my knowledge councillors have been both criticised, or praised on this forum, depending on what they've actually done.

Besides, the most vitriolic attacks, and criticism of our local councillors on this forum, have been made by other councillors.

Guess that was before your time.

As in every field, there are good, and bad councillors.

Personally I've yet to hear a bad word said of you, or of your performance as a councillor...yet.

Now wind your neck in, and concentrate on the question being asked in this thread and poll.
