Having been to my first development control committee meeting in Southend recently, I was appalled at the amateur way councillors performed.
I’ve heard of party politics, but on every subject they just followed like sheep, unless they had a particular interest themselves.
The council purports to being a democratic organisation, but the way councillors refuse to let members of the public answer some of the accusations levelled against them by councillors is appalling.
One councillor can make an incorrect assumption and before you know it the whole council talks about it as if the assumption is gospel.
