Wirral Council - “Not corrupt just incompetent!”

March 26, 2008

Last night I took a break from delivering in Pensby and Thingwall and went to see the scrutiny committee meet about last years phone mast cock up.

Esther McVey at the telephone mast site in Pensby

Also there were Esther McVey, Councillors Chris Blakely, Leah Fraser (amongst others) all of whom had expected to be called as Witness to the committee.

However do you think they were given a fair chance?

Where they allowed to give their five minuet statement and be questioned by members of the panel?

No!  

The LibDem / Labour unholy alliance running the Council ruled that due to efficiencies of the meeting they had removed Esther , Chris, Leah  as well as  Cllr Andrew Hodson, and the Borough Solicitor, Roy Jones! 

Why can’t there be a Standing Order refusing planning permission for all telephone mast as a matter of principal so that the 56 day cock up can never be a problem again and blight the lives of so many residents?

I unfortunately had to leave to attend another meeting so I am grateful for Chris Blakely for keeping us updated with his blog which can be found here.
