Clarification from Councillor Khatri regarding cancellation of Councillor Surgery

As this blog has mentioned on many occasions, most Conservative Councillors are decent and polite people, who don't wander the Borough looking to break peoples bones and insult them. Most don't send rude emails. In fact, most of them are quite nice if you bump into them in waitrose Car Park, Cafe Buzz or on Mill Hill Broadway. Most of them will be perfectly civil, if you send them an email, and most will send you a polite email if you get a fact wrong or need a clarification.

So itw as was that we have just received a clarification from Councillor Sury Khatri, regarding the cancellation of the Councillors surgery in Mill Hill on Saturday. The Barnet Eye stated that the surgery was cancelled due to the BAPS delegation attending. Councillor Khatri, who is a decent chap, emailed me to correct this. It was due to a clash of appointments for both himself and Councillor John Hart.

Here is the email, apologies to Cllr's Hart and Khatri for posting incorrect information. I hope this clears the matter up

Dear Roger
Just catching up with events
I noted that there was to be a BAPS delegation to see us at our Councillor Surgery last Saturday and you reported that because of this we had cancelled it.
My reason for writing to you is that this is incorrect and wish to clear up any misunderstanding.
My sincere apologies as if we had known prior I would have informed that we would not be there.
As both Cllr John Hart and I had previous commitments for Saturday 22nd and neither one could be present I informed the Library of this on the previous Saturday 15th (after I finished my Councillor Surgery) and to put a note to this effect that we would not be holding a Councillor Surgery on Saturday 22nd - for your information message sent on Tuesday 18th to Mill Hill Librarian below
DEAR LIBRARIAN
APOLOGIES FOR SHORT NOTICE
THIS TO ADVISE YOU THAT, DUE TO OTHER COMMITMENTS, Cllrs KHATRI & HART WILL NOT BE HOLDING THE COUNCILLOR SURGERY THIS SATURDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER 2012.
PLEASE WOULD YOU PUT A NOTE TO THIS EFFECT AND ADVISE / APOLOGISE ON OUR BEHALF TO ANYONE WHO COMES TO SEE US AND THAT TO CONTACT US BY EMAIL / TEL


I DID ADVISE THE LIBRARIAN LAST SATURDAY OF THIS


Kind Regards
Cllr Sury N Khatri
Mill Hill Ward

Fair enough Roger and of course the third councillor in that ward is currently the mayor who will have a very full diary and can thus be excused surgeries in his mayoral year.

I note that in my ward the surgeries are only held once a month and so you get a much better service in Mill Hill than is on offer here.

BAPS won't have to wait long to go to the next surgery in Mill Hill.

Can't wait for Mrs Angry any longer, so...

Since Father Benjamin's appearance, rearranging the chairs on Whetstone High Road, he and Brian have decided to take up show business...

"We're a couple of plebs
We mix with the best celebs
We like Friern Barnet, far away from the bloggers’ webs.

We're proud of our chums Metpro
Pride of ‘Friary Park Summer Show’
In August we look cute, when we act as the grand maestro

Countess Spencer has asked us up for tea
We don't know how to get there, no siree
No, siree

We would drive up the A1000, but we haven't got the price
We would skate up the A1000, but there isn't any ice
We would ride on a bicycle, but we haven't got a bike
So we'll walk up the A1000
Yes, we'll walk up the A1000
And to walk up the A1000's what we like."
