I can table questions, for which I am guaranteed time to speak, but the First Earl of Oswaldtwistle always has the last word.
The main problem is actually getting him to arrange council meetings so that we can discuss the really serious issues in the borough. They're supposed to be every six weeks but we haven't had one since July.
He also schedules most of the tricky ones with votes he's likely to lose at 1pm so that the Labour councillors have a devil of a time getting there.
Democracy in action, vote Conservative if you like your borough run this way.
