BRING ON THE COURT CASE!!!!!

[Catwoman]

[jbond]

So wait a minute. Chalky has approved the changes recommended in the 21 Dec Supplementary report. Now the council have to rubber stamp this. Documents are then produced and posted. The scheme then is actually permanent. And all done by Feb 4. But now that Chalky has published his decision all the rest of it is just dotting Is and crossing Ts and going though the motions.

Is that right?

[Martin]

Well, now we know which of the options for the 4th February parade demo!

Oh my - can open, worms everywhere!

Chalkley a made his decision not knowing the full facts, but that's because he wasn't told what's about to happen him and his fellow crooks.

Watch the developments over the next weeks.



(BTW I am referring only to legal moves and nothing at all to do with physical threats to their well being)

Email sent to Chalkley this evening, will publish his reply:-

Mr Chalkley,

I am somewhat surprised to have learnt about your now published Statement of Decision dated 6th January 2010 from a third party, as I thought you would have had the decency to alert me at the time.

That said, you would have been briefed by Mr Large of our intention to take legal action which would be subject to time restriction from the actual date of the Traffic Management Order.  Therefore, I must ask you to please categorically state the date on which the new TMO's were, or will be made.

Furthermore, according to the WCC website under a section entitled "What happens next" (which I note has NOT been updated to reflect the decision being made - an explanation for this would be appreciated), these TMO's will be advertised and a date for their coming into effect be published. Can you please therefore confirm where and when they will be advertised and the date of their effect.

Yours

Warren Djanogly

[Martin]

Rightly said, Mr. Chairman - it would seem the merest courtesy to have informed you (and the others that have been "consulted") before the announcement was formally made!
 [Though we know WCC's definition of 'consultation' differs from everyone else's.]

FWIW, I have a long-standing request in for any amendment or "supplement" to the 1st October Report, and despite the Supplementary Report coming out on 21st December, I've not been graced with anything to tell me about it - they appear to treat their own Residents with just the same contempt as non-Residents, even though we pay their wages!

Vespa - out of interest, where did you find the documents, as they do not yet appear to have been posted on the WCC website under Cabinet Member Decisions (City Management / 2010) !?

since when are we expecting any decency or courtesy from Mr Chalkley & co.  

[gibbo]

this is no great surprise , we all knew they were an arrogant bunch of little shits that would listen to nobody and try and force their tax through no matter what ..... so bring it on i say at least we all know where we stand now

[kaychanc]

i suspect chalkley is trying to rush the tmo's through at this very moment.. so no one has the time to prepare for it as he is well aware of the legal case and the investigations looming!

[ldn1702]

Chalkley has approved the set up of a parking forum... as if this one here was not good enough

[templar]

I think there should be a request to find out where and when they meet for the first time...

[Bandit]

Yeah, like he'll fucking listen to it.... disingenuous wanker.

[ldn1702]

He probably looks at this forum a lot more than he will look at his own.

[DastardlyDick]

He probably looks at this forum a lot more than he will look at his own.

He'll probably appoint Susie 'Barking' Burbridge as the Chairman!!
