Cast your minds back a few weeks when we drew to your attention a really poor report from the Children's services Select committee, yes that's right, the me me me I I I report of the Lead Member. We were rightly critical of the report and the Lead Member Linda Rice.
Well it appears that the labour group listened to us and agreed, last night at the groups AGM Linda Rice lost her place as Lead Member to Laila Butt..........no worries there we are all very much aware of just how lazy Ms Butt is.
Who else moved around? you may ask, well Nirmal Gill is new Chair of Assembly. Saint Rodwell has passed his Lead Member on Safer communities to Tariq Saeed, questionable one this, Rodwell of course has gone where he will be most happy, Finance.
We would suggest that it might be a good idea if the auditors who have to report to his committee have a good look at his companies finance.
The real headache is the move of Evilyn Carpenter to group secretary. We just warn hold on to your hats its going to get bumpy.
We were asked a few days ago why she lost her job with the council. We understand it was an accumulation of issues, ie Evilyn is not a team player, she cannot follow a line managers instructions, Evilyn is ALWAYS right even when she is wrong. But, we believe the final straw was an issue over financial irregularities.
We will post more as we find out.

SAINT RODWELL OF ALIBON
Our attention has been drawn to day to an article in todays Dagenham Post.
Of course all are concerned with the Budget cuts proposed and accepted by the out going board members of the PCT.
But what really made us laugh is just how easy it is to disprove a lie that Rodwell made to the press.
He claims that he resigned over the proposal not to take forward the plan for a community hospital on the old Aventis site.
Rodwell claims that he was so disappointed that this project would not go ahead that he resigned from the Board of the PCT.
Doesn't Rodwell know that the "Minutes" for all PCT board meetings are published on the internet?
Just to set the record straight Rodwell did not resign the PCT Board ceased to exist on the 31st March 2011. That's when he lost his job, we are pretty sure he will miss the additional money, but, knowing Rodwell as we all do it wont take him long to find another way to fill his pockets.

WHY NO PARKING CHARGE FOR COUNCILLORS
Talk about double standards!!!!!!! councillors are imposing Parking Charges on the workforce, this means that for staff at the Civic, Town Hall or any other council buildings staff will have to pay approx £240 per year.
But, no charge is to be levied on Councillors.
The openness and even handiness of this bunch really should be called into question.
A wage freeze on staff, pay cuts for some, and for a great number more, job losses.
Just what sacrifice are these councillors making? none of course.
Why shouldn't Councillors have to pay and share the pain of their workforce?

GUESS WHO?
A little easy quiz to start off
Which councillor makes sure that at the end of a civic function, or even after a meeting he takes home 2 or 3 doggie bags?
Which councillor when reporting left behind black rubbish sacks always bumps the number up from 4 to 40?
are you there yet?
We know have an explanation for this councillors excesses...........we are very reliably informed that he knocks back a large bottle of scotch every day.......
Now you don't have to take our word for it, ask his neighbours, ask the refuse collectors who have to lift his bottle box every fortnight.
At least we can be thankful that he doesn't drive.

TOO LATE TWOMEY THE HORSE HAS ALREADY BOLTED
Why has Councillor Twomey announced that his select committee will be holding an investigation into the problems at Queens maternity unit?
Has Councillor Twomey been on another planet for the last couple of months?
Or, has Councillor Twomey had more pressing issues to deal with?
Well lets help him along a bit shall we? Councillor Twomey for your information there has already been an investigation into Queens Maternity unit by an official government department, they have already issued their findings in a report which you can get on line.
They have also issued their recommendations which Queens have to comply with in a set out time frame.
We understand their time ran out last Wednesday, perhaps Councillor Twomey should also read the follow up report.
Just don't waste officer and member time, and of course council tax payers money on an investigation that has already been done by persons far more qualified that you Councillor Twomey.
