Offline and no use.
I am temporarily off-line for most of this week, so I doubt there’ll be any blogging. I am busy nonetheless. Last night was a meeting of the Bury Council Lib Dem group, where we talked about the Council’s budget and caught up with group goings-on over the past few weeks.
Tonight it’s another meeting of the Resource and Performance Scrutiny Commission. Once again I am disappointed at how ineffective we’re going to be as a Scrutiny panel. Last time I wrote about my disappointment that the Executive Member didn’t turn up for the meeting. This time the papers haven’t turned up. They arrived last week, but only the agenda and minutes were there. Every single other report was “to follow” and still hasn’t arrived in the post. So I have read none of them in advance, and so will be about as useful as an underwater camping stove.
And it’s hugely irritating that, once again, I am prevented from doing my job by factors beyond my control.
Anyway, I hope to have calmed down by the next time I write, which may well not be until next week. I have changed Broadband providers and am currently able to access none of them!
