Chris Black got the answers to his questions at full council tonight:<\/p>\n
\n1. Were all the council fees and charges for 2009\/10 agreed by the relevant portfolio holders before January 27th?<\/p>\n
2. Does the council have a list of landowners (i.e. freeholders) for Rayleigh Town Centre ?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The actual answers from the council were quite long, but both of them were basically ‘no’. Even though a portfolio holder is the councillor responsible for a particular service, any increases in chargs aren’t discussed with him or her before they go to full council for approval.<\/p>\n
And the district council doesn’t have any kind of list at all about who owns Rayleigh Town Centre. In an age when we have CCTV for everyone going into particular Essex pubs, and the council has the powers to tap phones, apparently it’s not easy to find out who owns our town centres!<\/p>\n
Chris made the point that if we are serious about improving or maintaining Rayleigh Town Centre in any way, we should be preparing a list, even an incomplete one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
