Common sense prevails at council meeting.
Both items regarding Paxcroft Ward 'found favour' last night.
At the meeting both proposals were carried without any dissent, and with the support of my fellow Ward councillor Trevor Carbin.
The matter of the incorrect letter should not occur again as procedures at planning committee meetings have been tightened. This will ensure that there can be no confusion as to what the committee is agreeing to, when it votes.
The other matter has been referred to the Internal Overview committee for investigation. I know that several senior officers at the council are concerned about the incident, and I am sure that checks will be put in place to make sure that it does not occur again. The result of the investigation will not be known for some months, but I will post the outcome on this site.
