Connolly was thanked as he was apparently the first Cabinet Member in living memory to dare to appear at a public meeting and risk the wrath of the great unwashed.
In passing, one of the points raised by the good burghers of Deal was that there in no member of the Cabinet who actually lives in Deal, which they thought might explain why it is treated so badly compared to Dover!
My own view is that it is because the DDC councillors from Deal are even more useless than those who represent Dover, But what would I know?
