4.3.1. The Council’s written constitution allows for the time and place of ordinary and extra ordinary meetings of the Council to be determined by the Managing Director.
4.3.2. On occasions when it is necessary to change the date of the Council meeting or to arrange an extra ordinary meeting, it is custom and practice to consult with the Mayor, Leader of the Council and Leader of the Opposition to agree an alternative/new date.
Unfortunately the constitution only states that it is custom and practice - and Peter Britcliffe does not abide by 'gentleman's rules', but prefers to ride roughshod over everyone else.
Can't for the life of me think why.
(Answers on the back of a postage stamp please).

Yes, but Peter Britcliffe isn't the Managing Director. He is merely a consultee, and has no more right to single handedly cancel the meeting than the Mayor or Leader of the Opposition.
