EDDC’s full council meeting (tomorrow) to “discuss” curtailing public speaking

Remember, our developers have acess to our councillors and officers whenever they wish.  The meetings are our only opportunity to put our side of our stories:

23 July 2014

EDDC full Council to vote on curtailment of public right to speak at EDDC meetings

Agenda here

EDDC’s Executive Board has already voted for the curtailment of the rights of the public to speak at its meeting but it needs the rubber stamp of the full Council which will meet on 23 July 2014.  Details HERE

One thought on “EDDC’s full council meeting (tomorrow) to “discuss” curtailing public speaking”

  1. Well, since there is no item on the agenda under which either the restrictions on public speaking or the removal of the right for minority councillors to table motions for council might actually be debated, I guess it really is a rubber stamping exercise.

    It is already a sad day for democracy that such controversial motions are put forward without the full debate that would be appropriate for such significant changes, but it will be an even sadder day if these get approved.
