  I think some are either missing the point completely(maybe deliberatly) ? or don't wish to face the issue at hand.
  
  
  Getting back to democracy, if any other member of the public was treated in the way that Reg was treated there would be uproar.
  
  The are dangers here that need heeding;
  
  
  1; the council is one of many tools that can be used to call people to account
  2; The question in this instance was put and officers(not of any legal background)
  decided it would not be heard (surely cllrs should decided that?)
  
  3; If this case is put on the shelf never to see the light of day, how many other
  ordinary members of the public just give up and not bother
  
  4; I'm all for encouraging the public to participate, this latest move by the
  officer led council is a backward step.
  
  
  
  
  I agree with chris p on this one, it would have been quicker to hear the question
  than all this fall out,
