The battle on this thread isn't about who would deal best with the issues but who would win the vote.

You make a good point and moving a meeting to a time when it is convenient for most councillors to attend is sensible practice but we're in a situation here where the Leader of the Council has rearranged the AGM to suit one councillor and forced more than half of the others to lose out financially as a result, plus caused inconveniences for a dozen workplaces who now need to find covering staff.
It simply doesn't make sense to do this when a 7pm slot would have circumvented the whole problem.
