However I can tell you that at the West Accrington Area Management Board meeting held in November all the board members present (there were approx 20 members present - which included 3 ward councillors - 2 Labour and 1 Tory) voted against having a calendar with one person abstaining.
Unlike the Area Management Councils (whose calendars were paid for by the Cabinet Action Fund), the Area Management Boards were being expected to pay for the calendars out of Revenue money.
Andrew maybe you could explain why the decision was made party political if there was no vote taken by the Area Management Councils. And any decisions made by the Area Management Boards, are made by the board members (the majority of whom are not councillors).

How was it decided to have calendars if no vote took place?
The calendar itself looks party political because some councillors withdrew from being displayed on the calendars.
Perhaps you could answer my earlier question of when Area Management Board meetings are, where they are, and how you get on them?
