I would go one step further. When these policies are brought forward by myself I have tried to get support and received none from Tories even ones in Barnfield woodnook. I have taken it to full council and watched every Tory vote against.

You are right. Politics is about you own area. Everything is controlled and it is very difficult to get the information, find a forum you can present it so it has a chanc of debate and progression. Scrutiny Committee has been strangled by the Tories and the Constitution gerrymandered so many times debate is no longer possible in a real sense.

ask Dave Mason ex Tory. They are told nothing and not allowed to discuss anything. It has been a breath of fresh air for him to be independent an be invited to Labour meetings where the state of the Borough is discussed at every meeting.
