The behaviour of members is generally of a standard that has made the code of conduct into something which isn't looked at very often but recent council meetings have been so heated that it has been dug out of the archives for reappraisal.
Miles Parkinson is very keen to get away from what is referred to as 'Punch and Judy' politics and so Pantomime Dame performances are likely to become more and more unacceptable in full council from now on.
I welcome it, it demeans the entire council when any member makes comments which are apparently intended to provide a platform for charged political posturing.
