Get petty party politics out of Local Government
Having just read Councillor Mc Gregors blog, I have to say I couldn't agree more with what he has written. Something I have been saying for a long time."Labour's insistence on injecting party politics into every facet of council proceedings undermines the spirit of cooperation and detracts from the substantive issues at hand. While advocating for asylum seeker rights is undoubtedly important, it should not be exploited for cheap party-political gain at the expense of constructive dialogue and meaningful action.As the meeting concluded, there was a palpable sense of frustration among some members who lamented the persistent politicisation of council proceedings. From a collaborative approach to Tamil recognition to the cheap politicisation of asylum policy, it’s clear two sides of the council were on show last night. Moving forward, it is imperative that council members prioritise collaboration and unity in order to effectively address the truly complex challenges facing the borough”.When will these people realise folk that live in the Borough despair at constantly hearing about this sort of nonsense from both sides of the divide.All we want is our services to run efficiently, our taxes spent wisely and for clear communication.No?
