So what is on the agenda for tomorrow night?

At the meeting of the Town Council one of the first items is to approve the minutes of previous Town Council meetings and committee meetings. What I found by reading this was a whole bunch of meetings had taken place without the agendas being published on their website. Those missing were:

The ECC Meeting of 14th October 2009.
There were 2 special Town Council meetings held on 19th and 27th October 2009.
Also there were meetings held on 21st October 2009 for Policy & Resources Committee and the Audit Committee.

Moving on... There are a few items of interest.

Item 10 is to inform the Town Council about the increased costs of the kitchen fit out at the ECC.

Item 16 (excluding Press and Public) is a presentation by Cllr Gordon Thorpe (Town Mayor) about the ECC Pre-school. This can't be good news! Seeing that it was only back in September that it was decided to charge this business a rent!

But what I find frustrating is the inability of the Liberal Democrat run Town Council to inform the residents of its meetings on their website. For a political party that lectures everyone else on the necessity of transparency these Liberal Democrats do a very good job of keeping the public in the dark as those they complain against.
