Forum (beta) posting

Parish Council Thread (Forum beta) -Comment re our mother site posting by "Deepthroat"

"I have followed this site from early this year and I have become an avid reader. I have always been interested and admired everyday folk questioning and seeking justification from legislations local, regional and nationally - this site follows that great tradition. Even so this is my first contribution to this Forum.

There are at three topics on this site ( within this Forum) which have really stimulated the interest of the readers .

“Why do Councillors keep leaving?” “Low usage high Cost of Poplars” and latterly “Parish Council”

They three topics have attracted over 1146, 1439 and 518 visitors respectively - together with 32, 35, and 15 associated posting (includes both the original forum and this improved “beta forum” ).

This surely confirms the significance and importance of these subjects to the Onliners within the community

For many years now I have had more than a passing interest in the activities of our local Parish Council and have become disturbed by the lack of accountability of it as a body and the attitude of several successive, individual Councillors. The PC’s lack of transparency and the “blurred” association of several and successive individual Councillors with additional local activities, creates some concern and suspicion within the community. Over many years there have been questions asked within the PC and justification requested for certain situations - too many remain unanswered, with delayed or deflective replies However it is most concerning when the integrity and accuracy of the PC and one Committees official minutes (relating to the posting content of this site ) are legitimately questioned, without the courtesy of a direct and adequate justification for the inclusion of the specific statements contained within Council & Committee minutes.

After all, I understand that if there are inaccuracies in this particular community website‘s postings, then early and due remedial postings of recants and apologises are always assured and promised as a standard practice

This appears fair to me, evidently not to the PC "
