Labour Shenanigans at the City Council
There was a lively meeting of the City Council at the Gala Theatre last night when a Labour Councillor put a motion accusing the Chair of the Council Licensing Committee of ignorance and failure to guide her committee properly when it considered the infamous Loft Application (see earlier posting for all the details).
I spoke at the meeting to say that I thought it was party politicking of the basest kind to use a personal attack on another Councillor (who has formal qualifications in the area and chaired the committee advised by legally qualified council staff), when the real problem was the inadequacy of the Licensing Act.
I was not surpised when several of his own Labour Group failed to support him in the final vote that defeated the motion.
have your say
