Now this information is in the public realm, you don't have to make a Freedom of Information request, you can just check out on the councils website. And its about time local residents did so, they would then find in black and white just what meetings their duly elected councillors are not attending, and if they are not attending they are failing to represent the residents of the ward.
We will focus on just 2 areas this time round, Louis Couling, all the fuss about how great she would be as a councillor, she has only attended 1 council meeting since being elected, wonder how the residents of Goresbrook feel about that?
Standing at the very bottom of the list at the moment are the councillors for Mayesbrook ward, one of whom has only a 15% attendance record since May, and the other 2 are not much higher.
It will be clearer as time goes on just how many of them are just there for the money and don't want to do the work, or in some cases are totally incapable of doing the work.
And although we have not been able to access the attendance figures for the groups political meetings we are given to understand that the Barking councillors consistently fail to turn up for those as well.
One other question we have been asked to raise re Mayesbrook ward, how can a resident attend a surgery with issues that maybe of a sensitive and confidential nature when the councillors persist in holding their surgery in a local cafe?
WRONG WRONG AND WRONG AGAIN - Keep trying
ReplyDeleteAre you saying that the attendance figures published on the Councils website are lies????
ReplyDeleteYawnnnnnnnnn is this all you can do now? no one is interested. Barking CLP just today given a campaigning award at conference.
ReplyDeleteNever happened before because the former bunch of lazy buggers like rush, barnes, little fairbrass etc etc did nothing but feather their own nests.
Theres a lazy good for nothing bunch if ever there was. Didn't know how to canvess that lot
you may have won an award for canvassing, but you certainly wont win any awards for representing the people in your wards, by the way thats the job you are being paid to do.

Dagenham Member (As if) that's not what the officers of the council are saying or the residents of the CLP - Remark's like vast improvement on the old lot etc etc.
ReplyDeleteWe cant all be wrong?
Just what exactly does Cllr Couling do in Goresbrook and is she getting paid for it. If she is this should be looked into as from what I can gather she does nothing and has done nothing since her comical bi-election win. The people of the ward deserve better.
ReplyDeleteThey already are doing better in Goresbrook with NO BNP councillor's and two really hard working Labour councillors and one due to illness working at the same level as Northover did before the election!
ReplyDeleteWe would suggest you take off the dark glasses and have a proper look at Goresbrook Ward and the piles of rubbish etc on the streets.
ReplyDeleteIllness????or just cant be bothered?
