They weren't a true record, but nevertheless they were voted through as the majority of the council who weren't so much concerned with the accuracy, but with the result.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-10321847468657702362011-11-23T08:25:42.074+00:002011-11-23T08:25:42.074+00:00The truth is, this council has no credibility.

The most worrying about all of this, and something the Welsh Government should be showing deep concern over, especially with the well researched issues aired on this blog, is to put it bluntly, 'they don't care'! Why don't they care? They believe they are unaccountable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-15854237485002788882011-11-22T10:06:47.249+00:002011-11-22T10:06:47.249+00:00What senior councillors and officers need to ask t...What senior councillors and officers need to ask themselves is what this sort of nonsense does for the credibility of the council as a whole. If the minutes of a public meeting cannot be believed, what faith can be put in anything else it says? A very dangerous and corrosive game.Cneifiwrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08767078276794410524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-35775285142506913552011-11-22T09:39:48.522+00:002011-11-22T09:39:48.522+00:00I suppose you would have to ask: who was at fault ...I suppose you would have to ask: who was at fault for not recording the proceedings in a reasonably accurate manner?

It would seem that the ombudsman is the only recourse.Cneifiwrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08767078276794410524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-6620333749415776102011-11-21T22:32:30.816+00:002011-11-21T22:32:30.816+00:00From what I've been told council meeting minut...From what I've been told council meeting minutes are not intended to be a full verbatim account. But that apologies and personal matters bit in the minutes is clearly meant to be the fluffy nice bit so having your mention removed from it is small minded to the max.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03710776765139258627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-78877300270149560402011-11-21T21:22:12.576+00:002011-11-21T21:22:12.576+00:00well I always thought that minutes were supposed t...well I always thought that minutes were supposed to reflect the contents of a meeting.nospinnoreply@blogger.com
