A letter writer in today's Courier complains that all he hears about is the council leader's power struggle. He goes on to suggest (as I have in an earlier blog) that what is needed is a 'raft of independent councillors'. So the great unifier, Plumber Atwood, has failed to staunch the criticism of the council. Not surprising really when one considers the 11 percent pay rise councillors have given themselves and the huge increase in fees for on-road car parking permits.
Another letter writer catalogues the stance taken by Councillor Ransley on a number of issues. Not for the squeamish and it doesn't mention the councillor's barmy idea that some off-peak trains from Tunbridge Wells to London should terminate at Cannon Street. The author of the letter is of the opinion that Plumber Atwood's decision to appoint Councillor Ransley to the cabinet is a 'severe error of judgement'. I concur.
