They know that councillors are too lazy to read the reports. Remember last year when the council tried to increase the cost of infant funerals by 10%? Mike Freer claimed that officers had not cleared it with Brian Coleman, but the report was published on the web site for everyone to see. Why didn't Cllr Coleman read it?<br /><br />Is it really asking too much for highly paid councillors to read reports in advance?Don't Call Me Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13602899129846028170noreply@blogger.com
