Comhairle’s idea of consultation is a “sham” 16/2/13
Sirs,
The same 'consultation' bandwagon was rollin' again with the cutback proposals as it did with the windfarms and the school closures.
The sham of using this word consultation rears its head yet again when, in reality, this council, bar one or two, listen to no one. So, the next time someone in the council mentions the word 'consultation' remember, that translated really means, we are going on a wee tour here and there, to listen to your opinions, your views, give you the chance to put them across, but it doesn’t really matter what you say, we have already made up our minds, on what windfarms we will give permission for, what schools we will close, and what air services we will axe, but in the interests of patronising you, we have an obligation to say that word.
We have at this council, a chief executive, a convener, and a council leader, one job rolled into three. I certainly know where I would start when looking to make cutbacks.
