Next week, there will be a complete meeting devoted to the controversial relocation project:
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: extraordinary District Council meeting >>> Wednesday 3rd June

Here is the conversation so far on Streetlife:


They'll need a bigger chamber.



Pining Lass
Isn't this libel?
“We have already consulted with our staff, but we are happy to debate the relocation in further detail at the request of councillors who have been elected on this single issue, which was part of their manifesto commitment.”

What proof does he have that councillors were 'elected on this single issue.' ? Certainly the leopard is not changing his spots!
Pining Lass
So it depends on whether he made a written or spoken communication to the Herald. Whichever, I think he is out of order.
Maggie
Meaningful staff consultation should be interesting. A neighbour told me the consultation consisted of one question in a named survey. If that's true it's disgraceful.
Real Sidmouthian
This is another waste of time. I can write the script now if you like....The 15 Cllrs who requested the extraordinary meeting will say how dreadful it is, what a waste of money it is, blah, blah etc, etc. and the 37 Conservatives plus a few Lib Dems from Exmouth who all love the idea will vote against them.
Pining Lass
Ah, the script!
We may well be able to anticipate the outcome but the interest is in the script/dialogue. If the conversation happens properly we must hope that interesting facts are uncovered which puts a whole new slant on things.

It may even be that some of the returned councillors find that they have had the wool pulled over their eyes previously by 'selective' use of information :-)
