Melvin Cohen - Probably Barnet's most useless Councillor

Carlsberg don't make useless Councillors, but if they did, they'd probably make one like Melvin Cohen. On the 21st July, I sent every Barnet Councillor and email with the title -

Urgent  - Barnet Council expose massive risks to staff, data protection, councillors and residents

Why? To alert Councillors to a report, which they may not have seen, detailing massive management failures at Barnet Council. This report explained that your personal details were not secure and could have been compromised. It also explained that there was no proper disaster recovery planning. Finally it explained that fire suppressions systems were not working properly and that rats were chewing through cables. I thought that every councillor should know about this. I put a read receipt on the message. I just noticed that on 27th November I got this back from Councillor Melvin Cohen

So Councillor Cohen received an email marked urgent in July, didn't bother to look at it until now and then just deleted it unread. There are many Barnet Councillors I think are pretty useless, but this takes the biscuit, useless, lazy and rude all in one hit !

Hmm. I remember the council meeting where Cohen pushed for the number of full council meetings to be reduced. I think we can see why. Too much effort on the part of our councillors, as well as the dangerous opportunity of engagement with their electors.

Does he speak? I have seen him at meetings but never heard him. I am happy to reduce the number of council meetings after we have reduced the number of councillors to 21 ( still too many )
