New Tory bid for one party rule…
Dear Editor,
How right of your correspondents to draw attention to the intention of Adur Tories to go ahead with the planned introduction of a Cabinet System of operation.
True they say they will take account of the peoples’ vote against if it exceeds 20,000, this sets the target such that it cannot be reached, we should also remember that it has already been said by their leader that the council tax will increase in 2008. He is in pole position to ensure that he is right. It would appear that he would bet each way in a one horse race!
Letters have expressed the view that cabinet system would lead to lack of interest by back bench members. This is already apparent, there were 12 absentees at the recent council meeting for which, having pointed this out, explanations were given for three, leaving nine unaccounted for.
The way to change this will be open to the public in May 2008, don’t vote Tory!
Yours faithfully,
Peter Berry.
