Dear Barnet Councillor,
I have a simple question and would be grateful if
you could supply an answer. I will be publishing the answers you respond on the
Barnet Eye blog. I will also name any councillor who fails to respond and any
councillor who deletes this email without reading it, as I believe that
regardless of what we think of One Barnet, a contract worth hundreds of millions
of pounds, lasts ten years and fundamentally changes the relationship between
the council and the population of Barnet should be of interest to all Barnet
Councillors.
On BBC London 94.9, the Leader of the Council
stated that the contract was 800 pages long and was too complicated for any one
person to understand. He also stated that the first time councillors saw the
contract was on Wednesday. Furthermore he stated that the decision to sign the
contract would be taken on 6th December. As it is the job of councillors to
safeguard the democratic process and interests of the people of Barnet, do you
think that this period is long enough to fully answer any legitimate questions
that councillors may have?
I would also be obliged if you could inform me
whether you will be reading through the contract.
Regards
Roger Tichborne
