LETTER: All 44 councillors must sign charter
Sadly I know that’s probably a vain hope. No doubt they will prefer to hang on to the undemocratic methods now employed, whereby decisions are made behind closed doors by a small clique of ‘the usual suspects’ and then the rest of the majority party are told they must vote for the predetermined decision, whether they agree with it or not.
People in power rarely want to relinquish any of it and, let’s face it, Ray Dawe is no Nelson Mandela.

Local residents deserve to have confidence in their councillors and we expect them to live up to the high standards set by their own code of conduct.
I wish your efforts to this end every success.
