Tomorrow’s Anston Parish Council Meeting looks to have lots of interesting items on the agenda.
At a previous meeting (where a certain pensioner came to loggerheads with the chairman Mr Beck) independent monitors from the Borough were present to observe proceedings due to a previous complaint. Now we have the following agenda item to be discussed tomorrow:
vi) Letter from RMBC, received 8th March, regarding proposed public meeting
with Mr Phil Beavers (Interim Independent Person serving on the Standards
Committee).
Sounds interesting, almost as though this proposed public meeting will be for the purpose of scrutinizing the behaviour of the Council? Also this:
v) Cllr Thornton (2013/014) – To discuss the presence of security guards at previous
council meeting.
I didn’t even know there WERE security guards there, although I did note two PCSOs…
There is also discussion of the local plan/greenbelt issues on the agenda with a proposal to work more closely with Dinnington Town Council on these tricky subjects. All good stuff and should make for some good discussion and (hopefully) progress.
There is also this stern warning, however, so any bolshy pensioners had best be on good behaviour!
Regard should be made to the requirements of Section 17 of the Crime and Disorder
Act 1998, the Race Relations Act 1976 (as amended), the Disability Discrimination
Act 2005 (Disability Equality Duty) and Section 40 of the Natural Environment and
Rural Communities (NERC) Act 2006 (Biodiversity Duty), throughout the meeting.
Anyone who disturbs the proceedings may be required by resolution to withdraw
from the room – Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act 1960, s1(8).)

Blimey ! It does sound interesting and the warning should certainly make sure that ‘order’ is kept. Perhaps Cllr Beck himself had better take heed too.
Look forward to the highlights being tweeted from Love Dinnington, live maybe ?
Enjoy !
Live tweeting now has Dominics seal of approval so a good step forward for openness.
Great news !
The Dinnington and Anston Spring ?
Haha! Taking to the streets isn’t really our style! A strongly worded letter to the guardian maybe lol

The three lads who looked as though they were Dominics friends (possible heavies), where sat next to me. The one I spoke to didn’t give a very convincing answer, when I asked why he had come to the meeting.
Are those the three who Dominic Beck said he hadn’t spoken to? That after he had been to thank them for coming!
That is the three Hilary. One of them was fast asleep by the side of me. The expression on Dominics face said it all for me.
One only had to watch Dominic’s face throughout the meeting to know something was going on – his inexperience is there to be seen and shouting does not cover that.
For such a good person, he seems to have learnt an awful lot of bad habits. Does he even have his own house yet?
