Christ you need educating you dont ask yer employee you negotiate utilising the chair of the appropriate ctte .
all council officers are employees of the council, and no doubt well unionised

what your requesting as a councillor would be unusual but productive in the management of services supplied to the Public so dont ASK ffs you dont demand you work into a study of procedures

wakey wakey
"seems to me that there is something to hide " jasus what an insult to the workforce maybe you should consider what you put into the Public Arena in future ...........................for sure i know many Council employees well capable of taking you out for such a stupid comment ..............the way your going you wont last long
Be diplomatic stop insulting council employees in public ffs![/quote]
Where is the insult? The department claim that it can take 10 hours or more to process an application. I just wanted to see for myself what the issues were.[/quote]
your quote "seems to me there is something to hide " on a Public forum from a Councillor if i were you i would get this thread deleted ASAP, your Party will not support you in such comments nor would any party for sure in my opinion the Council Officers would have no problem ostracizing you over this.
I would have PM'd you but cant get it to work i would like to see you have a long career as a councillor you wont PUBLISHING comments like this one "SEEMS TO ME THERE IS SOMETHING TO HIDE"
BE CAREFUL TT[/quote
He is Right....
