Full Council Meeting
Hello All,
Eleven of us went to the Full Council meeting on
Tuesday. The public gallery was packed out with people supporting other
worthy causes. It turned out that there were 64 statements, mainly from
three separate campaigning groups. 18 of these were about the Sefton Park
Expansion (17 opposing and one for the expansion). We were briefed before
the meeting and told to choose three speakers from each group. The three
names had to be submitted to the Mayor. They did not strictly enforce the
two minute rule. It actually worked out well as our exposure was on an
equal basis with the other (larger) groups.
Stephen McNamara (The Council's legal man) said 'we are
very popular today'. He seemed to miss that the public gallery was packed with
people who disagreed with Council policies!
Details of the meeting can be seen on the council
website. All your statements are there. You can even watch a webcast
of the meeting!
Decisions on Sefton Park will be made at the Cabinet
meeting on 30th October at 4:00pm.
Regards,
Andrew
