  It pains me to say it, but I'd be interested in reading our fishy friend's thoughts. As I understand it, he is an active, serving councillor. There is an implication here (perhaps it is only that) that EKH are falling far below the standards that might reasonably be expected of them. If so, then I don't see why anyone should have any compunction about taking those responsible to task.
  
  About a decade ago I was awarded a short term (7 months as it turned out) freelance contract at Shepway District Council where I learned a lot about the administration and working practices of local government. I'm afraid that job preservation and development seemed to take priority in the decision making process, often at the expense of good service to the taxpayer.
  
  I hope I'm wrong. My personal view is that if you're prepared to draw a salary at public expense or if you stand as a councillor for whatever reason (self-aggrandisement, a genuine desire to help, the Dunning-Kruger syndrome), then you should also be prepared to be held accountable for your actions.
