Cllr Britcliffe's current 'policy' runs to about a side and a half of A4 and that's only because Clare wrote one side of it.
I'm absolutely serious.
The new policy that Clare has written herself is 16 pages long and may not be long enough, hence the motion that a politically balanced working group is set up to go through it with a fine-toothed comb.
If Britcliffe had the best interest of the borough at heart then this wouldn't even need to be put to council as a motion. Clare offered quite freely to work on this without getting political and Britcliffe make it so awkward that she had no choice but to put it to full council.
