Your own local councillor, Leader of the Conservative group, is the person you should be asking about the Kashmir motion as it was his party that put it to Council. Neither Labour nor the Independents had anything to do with it.
Leaving the Kashmir motion aside, something which I feel has been explained and explained and yet is still causing you plenty of angst, all of the motions at the last Full Council affect quite a sizeable portion of our residents. Would you prefer that the council kept its mouth shut or spoke up on behalf of the people we represent?
Or is it a case of 'not our job so we shouldn't bother'?
