Because that would be sensible so it wont happen.
It all comes down to politics unfortunately. We vote in the nice person who knocks on our doors.
If fact I didn't because the only person who knocked on my door was a rather soggy Gayle Knight with Greg Pope. I must apologise Gayle for laughing at the sight of you two trying to hide from a very heavy down pour. I am sure you look back at it now and laugh yourself. I only wish I had my camera with me
Sorry of track there, back to voting in those who knock on our doors telling us how nice they are and what they will do for us. The problem with all this is that the people we elect no naff all about running a Council. They are just shop keepers, teachers, van drivers etc. In other words normal people. What do they know about running a town?
Exactly, nothing.
The people who should know how to run the place, the employed Council Officers appear to have little say in what happens. These people are employed to do a job on there merit, past experience and qualifications, just like any other job. They should be qualified to decide what we need to do to make the place better but they appear to be told what to do by the elected Councillors.
Maybe I don't see things as they really are. Could someone please enlighten me why we empower just about anyone to make the decisions that affect our lives day in day out?
