  On this we are at one, theres nowt more stupid that cllrs thinking they have to be silenced.
  But there again in other posts i have highlighted how cllrs are officer led and this is another example of it,
  
  Officers giving instructions, or political parties giving wrong information to it's candidates, thus restricting there ability to perform.
  
  It's clear sue is well meaning but has got this information wrong from where ever the info comes from.
  
  Political parties run scared of all these rules and regulations, which do in effect silence the very people we should be hearing from.
  
  
  I hope that in view of helpful advice from other posters that Sue will take the advice and continue to post.

  it's the same with the licensing committee stating cllrs that live in the ward have an interest so cant speak, how stupid is that.
  
  I hope that very soon cllrs start to speak out and take the route that is quite legal, can be done, in my short time on the council officers attempted to stop me from speaking but never achieved it.
  i would have been happy to have gone to the standards board or wherever to explain how democracy is being shelved and voter turnout low, plus all the rest that went with it.
  
  Sometimes it's about challenging decisions, you don't have to accept them it is at the end of the day advice.
  
  There is clear evidence from posters that cllrs can post
  now lets see if they do
