Not wanting to stir things up , but I think it would be a good idea if AndrewB's next FOI request was for details of all the local councillors educational qualifications , when you consider these folks are in charge of a multi million £ budget , seems they should be able to show some modicum of a decent education , after all , the pubic should have the right to know if they are voting for an illiterate moron or not .
Would have thought a brief bio. (accomplishments , convictions etc.) of each councillor would have been available on the Hyndburn web-site, but it just lists the name and which ward the represent ...just one more small step to open government
