  Well having attended the meeting I listened carefully to a decision just to note one of the most serious decisions I feel ever made in my time in local politics.
  I raised the issue of concern that 1 person can have the right to suspend someone without evidence.
  And that the other 17 cllrs just note it.
  It goes against the localism act 2011 but worse it's not showing DTC as an open/transparent/and fair council.
  No one person should never have such powers
  imagine this just before an election one party needs 2 votes for a majority. mayor suspends 3 cllrs they get control council.
  after the election its to costly to challenge the decision
  democracy loses.
  Somehow the council last sept allowed such a crazy standing order to be in place, before I joined and I have asked for a review of the standing orders.
  just taking the 2 people out of the discussion
  to allow 1 person powers to suspend without justification goes against democracy
  and isn't showing DTC t be open/transparent and fair.
