A Few Thoughts on Manorbier Community Council (1)

What can you say about our community Council? I don't very often attend meetings of the Council. Not because I'm not interested in what goes on but because members of the public aren't allowed to say anything while the meeting is in progress and I couldn't sit through a meeting having to listen to the devious nonsense coming from Clrs Calver & Davies without protesting.
Fortunately I have some reliable sources who attend most meetings so I will be reporting on the Council's goings-on from time to time and hopefully rather more truthfully that Clr Calver's fantasy website.
So how is the Council divided up? First there are the "Obstructionist" Clrs Calver & Davies. They behave as their name suggest, they do everything possible to obstruct the business of the council.
There is one "Cross Bencher" Clr Meyrick. I've not made up my mind about Clr Meyrick yet, he seems to want to do the right thing for the community but gives the impression of someone with divided loyalties.
Finally there are the "Progressives" Clrs Wales, Coleman, Neads, Griffiths, Pellowe, Kidney & John.
This group are trying to make the council more effective for the benefit of the community but at the moment are spending most of their time struggling to sort out the mess left by the previous council.
More thought on the Community Council in later posts.
